Plans in works to mark raid on Lawrence

KU, let’s read Author of university’s 1st common book shares thoughts on writing, college, Kansas and more

By Kim Callahan kcallahan@ljworld.com

Kansas University has chosen Eula Biss’ collection of essays “Notes From No Man’s Land” as its inaugural common book. Biss, who teaches nonfiction writing at Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill., will be visiting KU in October. She took some time this summer to speak with the Journal-World about her work and the honor of being chosen for the university’s program.

Your book “Notes From No Man’s Land” is critically acclaimed and has won a number of prestigious awards, including the Pushcart Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award. Is it a special kind of accolade to have it chosen as a common book that 5,000 or so people may be reading and discussing?

EB: Yes. It means that a whole community is going to be discussing it, and that’s pretty incredible to me. It’s really exciting to me to think about such a large and diverse community engaging with my work.

You will be coming to Kansas in October as part of the book program. Have you been to Kansas before?

EB: No, I haven’t. Well, I’ve driven through it. I’ve driven across the country a number of times, but it’s not the same.

The DCSS will be celebrating its 40th anniversary Oct. 11.

Wildgen said Douglas County Senior Services, which is located inside the Lawrence Senior Center at 745 Vt., is working to better serve the communities outside of Lawrence.

This summer, it began offering transportation services in Baldwin City three days a week through volunteers.

Lorettamay Davis, 77, has used the services several times for trips to the grocery store or bank. She just moved from Pennsylvania and has been unable to drive for nearly three years. She just makes an appointment 48 hours in advance of when she needs to go.

“It’s a wonderful service. It works really well,” she said. #"#"#

Douglas County Senior Services staff members also have been working with the Retiree Attraction Task Force, which has identified three steps that need to be implemented immediately.

One of those is creating a community portal that would provide a single source of information about local services, programs, events and activities for the county.

“I think of us as already being that focal point, and I believe others in aging also think of us that way, but the community does not,” said Janet Ikenberry, community services program manager who has worked at DCSS for nearly 20 years. “I think it’s because people don’t hear the message until they need the service.”

She said there’s also a misconception that DCSS is a county agency and that it only serves low-income residents. Both are not true.

“We serve people of all income brackets whether it’s for meals, Medicare counseling, exercise or caregiver support,” Ikenberry said.

Another challenge that DCSS grapples with is the term “senior.” Ikenberry

LEARN MORE Douglas County Senior Services provides a variety of services, programs and referrals that are geared toward residents ages 55 and older, regardless of income.

said that when the Older Americans Act was introduced in 1965, age 60 looked much different.

Today’s 60-something crowd is much more active and healthy, and so the agency is looking to better fit their needs.

She said many are looking to volunteer or work part-time jobs to help make ends meet. She said a growing number of baby boomers are taking care of their parents who are 80 and 90 years old, and so they are needing caregiver support.

“People are realizing that home is where most people want to be. People don’t turn 60 and want to move into assisted living,” she said.

Rebecca Clancy started Aug. 1 as the leisure and learning specialist. She said that while the agency would continue to offer a variety of exercise classes and discounted trips, they are hoping to add to the menu of choices. Among the possibilities: day trips and cooking classes.

“We are just trying to get people to call me or come in and tell me what they want so we can start some new programs,” she said.

One new program is a yearlong quilt project that will start this fall. DCSS received $21,000 in grants to team up with nationally known quilt artist Marla Jackson, who will lead the project in which residents will share their stories about caregiving by creating quilt blocks.

An informational meeting is set for 6 p.m. Sept. 10 at the center.

Burglars target electronics at Kansas, Nebraska schools HAYS — The FBI has joined investigators in northwestern Kansas and southwestern Nebraska looking into school breakins in which thieves have stolen thousands of dollars’ worth of iPads and other expensive electronics.

As many as 17 schools in the region have been burglarized in a similar manner over the summer, The Hays Daily News reported.

The latest and largest occurred Aug. 9 at the high school in Phillipsburg, where burglars stole approximately 150 iPads, 160 iPad chargers and 90 iPad cases. Phillips County Sheriff Paul Wisinger said the loss is estimated at $75,000.

Wisinger has been in contact with other Kansas sheriff’s departments that also have had schools burglarized. There also was a meeting in McCook, Neb.,

Tour paints picture of Quantrill’s Raid Downtown sites full of history

By Alex Garrison acgarrison@ljworld.com

You have to use your imagination. The ruins are all gone — the aftermath was all about quick rebuilding, no defeatism allowed — but the legacy lives on, right here on Massachusetts Street.

Imagine South Park as a cornfield, New Hampshire Street as a dirt road, horses hitched up at Eighth Street, and the arts center as a camp for Union recruits, some as young as 16. Picture the Dusty Bookshelf as a fledgling public library — there’s no librarian yet, but there will be, especially when 85 newly made widows will need to find work to feed their families.

Watson Park is a ravine.

In the midst of four hours of terror, many people will hide there. On that Friday

“

The rebuilding was as inspiring as the in 1863, what’s now known raid was horrific.” as the “train park” will be where the survivors lay the bodies.

Lawrence is a 9-year-old town in a 2-year-old state.

The nation is at war, and at about 5 a.m. Aug. 21, a former resident of Stone’s Hotel at Sixth and New Hampshire will lead nearly 200 men on a raid that will kill more than 180 men and boys. He told his men not to kill Mr. Stone, who had treated him well. They did anyway.

Back in the present, on Saturday morning, Katie Armitage led a tour of about 20 history buffs down the streets where it happened, where William Clarke Quantrill bushwhacked his way into Bleeding Kansas history. One of the tour participants, Robert Wilson, of Prairie Village, knows it wasn’t Quantrill’s only raid — one of Wilson’s ancestors was killed

— Katie Armitage, who led a walking tour of Quantrill’s Raid in the sack of Olathe. But it’s the Lawrence massacre, now so close to the 149th anniversary, that captures everyone’s imagination.

From plaque to plaque, the tour group walks, solemnly nodding their heads as the mental images Armitage paints become clear. But it’s not a morning solely devoted to death.

“The rebuilding was as inspiring as the raid was horrific,” Armitage said as she pointed out the small portions of limestone that stood, then got built around, from a vantage point on New Hampshire.

Wilson, himself a history teacher, said he appreciated the story coming alive.

Fellow tour-walker Ben McConnell said he grew up hearing bits of information about the raid but was blown away by the suggestion that it just may have been the worst act of domestic terrorism before the Oklahoma City bombing.

There’s really just plaques to look at now, but there’s a lot to learn.

Armitage ends the tour at Framewoods Gallery, 819 Mass., where an old panoramic photo shows rows and rows of welldressed men and women gathered together in 1913 in front of the Eldridge Hotel. The Eldridge, like the folks in the photo, survived the raid but isn’t here today — it was torn down and rebuilt, this time by choice, in 1927.

You have to use your imagination. But the memories are all around us.

Grape-stompers get their feet wet

By Alex Garrison acgarrison@ljworld.com

ONLINE: See the video at LJWorld.com

At times it was more of a squish than a stomp.

Shirley Marrs got in tentatively, a bit of a grimace — or at least the expression of not knowing what to expect — on her face. Joe Cebula followed, and soon enough the two were walking in the small barrel, ripe fruit between their bare toes.

No, wine-making like this won’t be in their future plans, they said, but this was all in good fun.

“And wine-enjoying will be,” Marrs said.

BlueJacket Crossing Vineyard and Winery, 1969 N. 1250 Road in Eudora, had its third annual grape stomp event Saturday. Owner Pep Selvan-Solberg said the event started after some particularly insistent clientele kept suggesting a public event in the style of the infamous “I Love Lucy” segment. In the early days of the business, though, there just weren’t enough grapes to waste.

But at the close of this scorcher of a summer, there’s plenty of fruit that didn’t survive to get ripe, he said. Unfortunate for the wine supply, fortunate for the hundreds of Lucy and Ethel emulators and wannabe squishers and stompers.

Lots of kids and even a dog or two — it’s just for fun, after all, not consumption — got involved in the event, which was formerly a benMike Yoder/Journal-World Photo efit for Big Brothers Big Sisters and now a fundraiser for two area fami- JOLENE LOFTIN, OF EUDORA, LEFT, AND MELISSA MILLER, OF LAWRENCE, dance and stomp in a tub full of grapes Saturday at the third annual lies in need, Selvan-Solberg said.

Gov.: Income tax cuts to help economy TOPEKA (AP) — Gov. Sam Brownback says he passed this year on proposing some tax cuts he’d like to pursue to concentrate on income tax reductions Brownback aimed at boosting Kansas’ economy by helping small firms and startups.

Democrats have criticized the income tax cuts as favoring wealthy business owners as they look to make the November general election a referendum on the conservative Republican’s policies.

Brownback told The Associated Press this week that he focused on a relatively narrow set of income tax cuts because of their potential to spur economic activity. He said helping small businesses is important because most Kansas residents work for firms with 10 or fewer employees and the state needs to form more new companies.

Students kick off new school year with lesson in KU traditions KANSAS UNIVERSITY STUDENTS wave the wheat at Traditions Night on Saturday in Memorial Stadium.

By Adam Strunk astrunk@ljworld.com

Hundreds of freshmen piled into Memorial Stadium for Kansas University’s Traditions Night on Saturday to socialize with their new Jayhawk comrades and learn the rituals of KU’s sporting events.

“I think it’s a good way to get involved and find out about Kansas,” said Jake Bruce, a freshman from Chicago. “I don’t really know much about it.”

Lucky for Bruce and other freshmen, Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little, KU football coach Charlie Weis and others were on hand to help out.

“Jayhawks have a lot of great traditions,” said Mike Anderson, host of the event, as well as the local television show “The Not So Late Show.” “Tonight we’re going to teach them to you.”

KU band members, the dance team and cheerleaders presented how to properly wave the wheat,

sing the Rock Chalk chant, sing the alma mater and master the seemingly tricky claps to the fight song.

But the night wasn’t only about traditions — it was also about giving the new students some advice.

“Go to class,” GrayLittle said, addressing the crowd. “Talk to your professors, join clubs and activities, and go to class.”

Weis pounded home the point.

“I can’t think of a more important piece of advice.”

For at least one freshman, Chris Chipman, of Kansas City, Kan., the event also served as a way to help college sink in.

“I think it is kind of exciting,” he said. “It makes me feel out of high school.”

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

Author

Many colleges and universities have programs that promote the reading of a common book. Below are some selections from around the nation.

I’m really excited to come out there.

There are several mentions of Kansas in your book: the lynchings in the “Telephone Poles” essay, the Laura Ingalls Wilder material in the title essay, and then the essay “Is This Kansas?”

Does Kansas have a kind of metaphorical/literary significance to you?

EB: Yeah, it does. And it has a lot of dimensions.

Part of it is going back to Laura Ingalls Wilder being representative of the American frontier, but also being symbolic of the Heartland. More than Iowa or Illinois, where I’ve spent my time in the Midwest, I think Kansas is thought of as the quintessentially Midwestern state, and that’s part of how it made its way into that essay “Is This Kansas?,” which is really about Iowa. The idea of how the Midwest defines itself is really important to that essay, and that’s part of how Kansas crept in there. And I’ve seen this a few other places, too, like the book “What’s the Matter with Kansas?” isn’t really about Kansas, but it is about how people think about themselves.

Why did you pick that as the title of that essay?

EB: Part of it, I was thinking of Dorothy’s experience of being caught up in a tornado and suddenly finding herself in a

STUDENTS PARTICIPATING IN KU’S NEW STUDENT ORIENTATION look over their new copies of Eula Biss’ “Notes From No Man’s Land,” which has been given to all incoming freshmen as part of the university’s new common book program. Foreground from left are Kirsten Himle, Minnetonka, Minn.; Jane Baer, Greenwood Village, Colo.; and Thomas Lyons, North Oaks, Minn. strange land where odd things happened. People wore emerald glasses and a ventriloquist stood behind a screen, and a lot of that “Wizard of Oz” stuff is very evocative for me of what it feels like to begin to see behind the screen a little bit, in any place, but that’s how I felt when I was living in Iowa. The double meaning for me was also about how the Midwest defines itself and the reluctance of people in Iowa City to admit that looting had happened there after a bad storm as well as in New Orleans after a very bad storm. It seemed very connected to the stories the place wanted to tell about itself, so that question “Is this Kansas?” I was thinking of as a question about Iowa too. Is this the Midwest?

If we don’t act the way we imagine Midwesterners act, is that where we really are?

What advice would you give to incoming college students? In your book you said you were impatient and argumentative in the classroom and were “the very kind of student whom I now dread.”

EB: (laughing) The advice I would offer is for those students entering into a liberal arts education to really use what the liberal arts have to offer, which is exposure to a lot of different areas of thought. Now that I am where I am in life and working on another book, I often have regrets about things that I didn’t study as an undergrad. I studied a whole bunch of obscure material. I wish now that I’d taken a lot more coursework in the natural sciences and even in the social sciences. Most of my coursework was in the arts and humanities, and I think one of the beauties of a liberal arts education is that you can work all over the place and come out with a really broad base of knowledge. I see some of my students really taking advantage of that, students who double major in geology and English or

applied math and English.

But it’s harder now. Students are more and more encouraged to specialize and spend a lot of time in one area and to be thinking as soon as they enter college about the usefulness of their degree and what kind of work they’re going to go into, and I think it’s still really useful for us as people who have unpredictable lives ahead of us to know a lot about a lot of different kinds of things.

You went as an undergrad to Hampshire College (an experimental college in Massachusetts where there are no grades). Do you grade your students at Northwestern?

EB: Yeah, I do, and I’ve occasionally voiced the desire to have all writing courses taught on a pass/ fail system, and whenever I bring that up I’m told resolutely that that is not a possibility and will never happen. I would very much like not to work with grades. I think there are some situations where they are pedagogically useful, but in the vast majority of situations I don’t find grades a very useful tool for teaching, and I think that they’re often really distracting for students — from the things I want them to be paying attention to and thinking about. Grades can limit ambition in that once a student is satisfied that they’ve done what they need to do to get an “A,” there isn’t a whole lot of incentive to do more, even if their abilities allow for it.

Was there a particular book that made a big impression on you when you were in college?

EB: You know, the work that I began reading in college and have continued to read and reread, over and over, for the last 15 years is Joan Didion’s “Slouching Towards Bethlehem” and “The White Album.” She’s been an incredibly important writer to me and I first encountered her work as an un-

Lawrence is very similar to Iowa City, in terms of student culture. In one of your essays, “Is This Kansas?,” you’re very critical of that student culture (the substance use, the rowdiness) and at the same time sympathetic to what you see as the powerlessness of undergraduates. I would think that for an undergraduate reading this book there’s an invitation to self-scrutiny, but also maybe a call to arms?

EB: I definitely feel strongly, even now as a professor, about the ways undergraduates are made powerless or taken advantage of within the institution. But that essay is a tricky one because I’m simultaneously commiserating with the students and examining the ways in which they aren’t really treated like other minority groups that are arguably more powerless in our society. A lot of the examples I use in that essay are how students do a lot of things that other minority groups do in this country.

For example, students live many of them to a house.

Lots of immigrants do that, but when immigrants do it, it’s often targeted by laws and communities.

When students do it, it’s just part of the college experience. It’s not seen as a kind of cultural violation.

dergraduate. ... My essay “Goodbye to All That” is a rewrite of Didion’s essay (of the same name).

That essay is very much in conversation with her and her work. Thinking about New York and thinking about narrative, but also thinking about a subject that I feel almost belongs to Didion. It’s a subject that she’s worked over so much, which is how do the stories we tell ourselves affect how we live, and that question of hers is actually all over my book.

Have you ever met her?

EB: No, and it’s funny, I have no desire to meet her. I feel like I’m still working on getting everything I can get from her work. I feel like her work has so much to offer that I hardly need the real person.

Do you have any other favorite essayists?

EB: Oh yeah, a lot of them, and a lot of poets that I like too. I started off also writing poetry so have had a lot of interaction with the poetry community, so there are probably as many poets who

University of Tennessee: “The Accidental Asian: Notes of a Native Speaker” by Eric Liu. Cornell University: “The Life Before Us” by Romain Gary.

Duke University: “State of Wonder” by Ann Patchett.

Smith College: “Dreaming in French: The Paris Years of Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy, Susan Sontag and Angela Davis” by Alice Yeager Kaplan. are important to me as essayists. James Baldwin has been really important to me. “Notes of a Native Son.” And Adrienne Rich, a poet who’s written some very beautiful essays. Charles Simic also.

Amy Leach whose book (“Things That Are”) just came out. She’s a friend of mine but has also had a lot of influence on me as a writer. Her work is really interesting and exciting to me.

The dedication of your book is very poignant: “To my baby, who doesn’t have a name yet.” Were you expecting at the time or was it more metaphorical?

It makes a nice bookend opposite your final essay “All Apologies,” where you allude to an unknown relative with whom you nevertheless have a deep connection.

EB: Yes. I was, for most of the time I was doing the finalization of the book, expecting. The book, as much as it’s thinking about race, it’s also thinking about kinship and family ... and how we name each other.

University of Florida: “The Dressmaker of Khair Khana” by Gayle Tzemach Lemmon.

University of Kentucky: “The Unforgiving Minute: A Soldier’s Education” by Craig Mullaney.

University of North Carolina: “The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains” by Nicholas Carr.

University of Wisconsin: “Radioactive: A Tale of Love and Fallout”

Kansas State University: “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks”

Ball State University: “Where Am I Wearing” by Kelsey Timmerman.

What are you reading right now?

EB: A lot of things. The book that I have open in front of me, on my desk as we’re talking, is called “The New Jim Crow” (by Michelle Alexander). It has a lot to do with what I was writing about in my last book. I’m using it also as a reference for the new book I’m writing, which is about medical controversies in public health ...

I thought I was doing science writing, that I was doing something totally outside the sphere of my last book, but it’s turned out that many of the same ideas have surfaced in this work. Race and privilege have turned out to be very relevant to this issue of public health. And then there’s the base question of what we owe each other, how do we protect each other, how do we take care of each other in communities; all those questions that I was thinking about in “Notes from No Man’s Land” are coming into this new work a lot.

OPINION

LAWRENCE JOURNAL-WORLD !"LJWorld.com !"Sunday, August 19, 2012

EDITORIALS

Learning at home State school board members are right to consider measures aimed at ensuring adequate instruction for home-schooled students.

T

here are many examples in Lawrence and elsewhere in Kansas of families who do an outstanding job of educating their children at home.

However, the concern of some Kansas State Board of Education members that not all home school situations in the state are beneficial for students seems worthy of further discussion.

The possibility of increased reporting requirements for students who are being home-schooled was raised this week by state board members. Although board chairman David Dennis of Wichita acknowledged that there are many good home schools in the state, he also said he had been told by public-school principals of cases where students were being reported as home-schooled when they actually were being kept at home for other reasons, perhaps to care for younger siblings. In a number of cases, those students would return to public school after a period of time and be woefully behind their classmates because of the lack of instruction at home.

Dennis suggested the board consider legislation to increase state reporting requirements for home schools, which currently have a surprising lack of state oversight. Home schools are included in the non-accredited private-schools category in Kansas. By statute, those schools must register with the state and notify the school that students previously attended of their transfer so they won’t be considered truant. State law also requires students to attend school from the ages of 7 to 18, but provides little way to track the attendance or academic offerings in a home-school setting.

As noted above, many children are receiving a great education at home, but the current lack of state oversight also leaves open the possibility that some children who supposedly are being home-schooled aren’t receiving proper instruction.

A couple of state board members correctly noted that the board shouldn’t move forward on legislation that would set new reporting requirements without further studying the issue, including discussions with home-school families and organizations. The goal of any legislation should be to provide a safety net for children who are receiving inadequate instruction at home, not to upset home schools that are doing a good job.

A number of Kansas families have made the valid choice to educate their children at home. The state should respect that choice, but it also needs to make sure that children who aren’t attending public schools are being educated at home and not being kept out of school for other reasons.

Predicted doom fails to materialize WASHINGTON — Sometimes the news is that something was not newsworthy.

The United Nations Rio+20 conference — 50,000 participants from 188 nations — occurred in June, without consequences. A generation has passed since the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio, which begat other conferences and protocols (e.g., Kyoto). And, by now, apocalypse fatigue — boredom from being repeatedly told the end is nigh.

This began two generations ago, in 1972, when we were warned (by computer models developed at MIT) that we were doomed. We were supposed to be pretty much extinct by now, or at least miserable. We are neither. So, what when wrong?

That year begat “The Limits to Growth,” a book from the Club of Rome, which called itself “a project on the predicament of mankind.” It sold 12 million copies, staggered The New York Times (“one of the most important documents of our age”) and argued that economic growth was doomed by intractable scarcities. Bjorn Lomborg, the Danish academic and “skeptical environmentalist,” writing in Foreign Affairs, says it “helped send the world down a path of worrying obsessively about misguided remedies for minor problems while ignoring much greater concerns,” such as poverty, which only economic growth can ameliorate.

MIT’s models foresaw the collapse of civilization because of “nonrenewable resource depletion” and population

Which did not just appear after 1972.” growth. “In an age more innocent of and reverential toward computers,” Lomborg writes, “the reams of cool printouts gave the book’s argument an air of scientific authority and inevitability” that “seemed to banish any possibility of disagreement.” Then — as now, regarding climate change — respect for science was said to require reverential suspension of skepticism about scientific hypotheses. Time magazine’s story about “The Limits to Growth” exemplified the media’s frisson of hysteria: “The furnaces of Pittsburgh are cold; the assembly lines of Detroit are still. In Los Angeles, a few gaunt survivors of a plague desperately till freeway center strips ...

Fantastic? No, only grim inevitability if society continues its present dedication to growth and ‘progress.’”

The modelers examined

19 commodities and said 12 would be gone long before now — aluminum, copper, gold, lead, mercury, molybdenum, natural gas, oil, silver, tin, tungsten and zinc.

Lomborg says: Technological innovations have replaced mercury in batteries, dental fillings and thermometers, mercury consumption is down 98 percent and its price was down 90 percent by 2000. Since 1970, when gold reserves were estimated at 10,980 tons, 81,410 tons have been mined and estimated reserves are 51,000 tons. Since 1970, when known reserves of copper were 280 million tons, about 400 million tons have been produced globally and reserves are estimated at almost 700 million tons. Aluminum consumption has increased 16fold since 1950, the world has consumed four times the 1950 known reserves, and known reserves could sustain current consumption for 177 years. Potential U.S. gas resources have doubled in the last six years.

And so on.

The modelers missed something — human ingenuity in discovering, extracting and innovating. Which did not just appear after 1972.

Aluminum, Lomborg writes, is one of earth’s most common metals. But until the 1886 invention of the HallHeroult process, it was so difficult and expensive to extract that “Napoleon III had bars of aluminum exhibited alongside the French crown jewels, and he gave his honored guests aluminum forks and spoons while lesser visitors had to

make do with gold utensils.”

Forty years after “The Limits to Growth” imparted momentum to environmentalism, that impulse now is often reduced to children indoctrinated to “reduce, reuse, and recycle.” Lomborg calls recycling “a feel-good gesture that provides little environmental benefit at a significant cost.” He says “we pay tribute to the pagan god of token environmentalism by spending countless hours sorting, storing and collecting used paper, which, when combined with government subsidies, yields slightly lower-quality paper in order to secure a resource” — forests — “that was never threatened in the first place.”

In 1980, economist Julian Simon made a wager in the form of a complex futures contract.

He bet Paul Ehrlich (whose 1968 book “The Population Bomb” predicted “hundreds of millions of people” would starve to death in the 1970s as population growth swamped agricultural production) that by 1990 the price of any five commodities Ehrlich and his advisers picked would be lower than in 1980. Ehrlich’s group picked five metals. All were cheaper in 1990.

The bet cost Ehrlich $576.07.

But that year he was awarded a $345,000 MacArthur Foundation “genius” grant and half of the $240,000 Crafoord Prize for ecological virtue. One of Ehrlich’s advisers, John Holdren, is Barack Obama’s science adviser.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Aug. 19, 1912: YEARS “The Douglas AGO County Women’s IN 1912 Christian Temperance Union is in favor of Equal Suffrage in Kansas and at its annual meeting held here yesterday adopted a resolution which states that not only shall the organization stand for suffrage but that it consecrate itself to the work of winning universal suffrage for the women of Kansas. ... The Union does not intend, however, to give up the purpose for which it was originally organized, prohibition. They passed resolutions yesterday favoring national prohibition and favoring state control of liquor shipments made into the state.”

Deaths of blacks in custody raise questions What happened to Chavis Carter?

It is a pregnant question, potentially even an explosive one. Carter died of a gunshot wound to the temple on the last Saturday in July, but the question about his death has only grown louder and more urgent since then.

It is beginning to gather national attention. So we need an answer soon, either so that suspicions can be put to rest and some imperfect peace achieved, or so that suspicions can be validated and some equally imperfect justice sought. The problem is, there are two possible answers to the question, and neither one of them makes much sense.

What happened to Chavis Carter?

The official story is that the 21-year-old AfricanAmerican man was with two other people when they were detained by police in Jonesboro, Ark. The other two were released, but when the officers searched Carter, they found marijuana. He also had an outstanding warrant. So they searched him again, handcuffed him and put him in the back of their car. As police were preparing to leave, they smelled smoke.

They opened the car and

That pattern of misbehavior degrades a critical tool of effective police work: the public’s trust.” found Carter slumped over, covered in blood, dying from a bullet wound to his temple.

The police say he committed suicide.

Last week, the department released a video purporting to show how a man handcuffed in a backseat could shoot himself. The explanation might be easier to buy if the man’s name was Houdini, but even if you accept the possibility, it doesn’t answer all the questions this episode raises.

How do police search a man twice, find a baggie of pot, but miss something as obvious as a handgun? How did Carter, whose mother says he was left-handed,

shoot himself in his right temple? Why would he do it?

Of course, the other theory — that police killed him — raises its own questions.

If you were going to kill a suspect, would you do it while he was handcuffed in the back of your own car? Wouldn’t you concoct a more plausible scenario?

And again, why?

This encounter would have been nothing new for either the police or Carter.

What could have made either of them cross that line?

Police Chief Michael Yates admitted to CNN that his officers’ story was “definitely bizarre and it defies logic at first glance.” But he said it was corroborated by a dash cam and by witnesses. Neither the footage nor the witness accounts have, at this writing, been made public. They should be.

Meantime, the FBI is investigating, which is a welcome development.

One hopes authoritative answers will soon follow. Because for African-Americans, the abiding fear is that this is just the latest installment of a sordid narrative that ties Chavis Carter to Rodney King, beaten nearly to death by police on a street in Los Angeles.

And Abner Louima sodomized with a stick at a po-

lice station in Brooklyn.

And Amadou Diallo shot at 41 times by police while reaching for his wallet in a vestibule in the Bronx.

And Arthur McDuffie, dying of police-administered skull fractures at a hospital in Miami.

And Sean Bell in Queens and Oscar Grant in Oakland and Kenneth Chamberlain in White Plains and Kathryn Johnston in Atlanta and Jeffrey Gilbert in suburban Washington and Henry Glover in New Orleans and all the other African-Americans wrongly, disproportionately brutalized and killed over the years by police who seem to equate melanin with the forfeiture of basic human rights.

That pattern of misbehavior degrades a critical tool of effective police work: the public’s trust. Which comes back to bite them — and us — when authorities are put in the position, as they have been in Jonesboro, of asking for the benefit of the doubt.

They must understand that that narrative casts a long shadow. So there is one hell of a lot of doubt.

Powlus: QB leadership vital between plays TWO-PART SERIES

Moustakas 3-run shot caps 9-4 K.C. win KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — Mike Moustakas and the Kansas City Royals put on an offensive display that ruined Adam Dunn’s 400th career homer.

Moustakas hit a three-run shot, Billy Butler had three RBIs and the Royals beat the Chicago White Sox 9-4 on Saturday night.

“We’ve very confident coming in here each day,” Butler said. “We believe in each other. We honestly believe coming in each day that we’re going to win.”

Chicago trailed 5-2 before Dunn drove a 2-2 pitch from Tim Collins over the wall in left-center in the eighth.

Kevin Youkilis, who singled with one out for his 1,000th career hit, was aboard for Dunn’s major league-best 35th homer of the season.

Dunn is one of 11 active players with 400 homers and No. 50 to reach the mark overall. The burly slugger and Paul Konerko are the first teammates to reach 400 career homers in the same season.

“It’s just about the worstcase scenario, getting it like this,” Dunn said. “We’ve played two bad games. Tonight was a disaster from the get-go. Obviously, I would have wanted it to come in a win.”

Kansas City responded with four runs in the bottom half. Butler, who finished with three hits, singled in Alcides Escobar before Moustakas hit a drive to right for his 19th homer.

All four runs were charged to Brett Myers, who gave up four hits.

“A 5-4 lead is by no means a comfortable situation,” Butler said. “Nobody wants to be pitching with that tight of a lead. Sometimes you have to do it. We have to do it enough. We’ve had to win enough tight ones, so it was good to have a cruise win.”

Moustakas finished with four RBIs for the Royals, who have won four of five. Escobar had four infield singles, scored three runs and had his team-leading 24th steal.

Butler, who homered Friday, was hit by a Jake Peavy pitch in the first inning.

“I think we all know what that was,” Butler said. “I’m not going to beat around the bush on that. Maybe I did a little excessive last night.

Professionals hit me below the belt and that’s the professional way to do it and move on. I felt like I won today.

We’re going to leave it I professionally got back even.”

Alex Gordon also had three hits for Kansas City, including his American League-leading 39th double.

Lions football mothers practice with their cubs and footwork, among other things, with their favorite Lawrence football players helping them each step of the way.

To give the women a glimpse of the punitive side of the game, Wedd began the session by staging a scene.

Senior Jordan Brown and his mother, Erica McDiffett, walked onto the field about a minute late, seemingly drawing the coach’s ire. In reality, Wedd approached the running back and his mom beforehand and asked if they would come in late to serve as an example.

Wedd barked at the tardy pair and had each of them get down on all fours to push a pad 20 yards. McDiffett pulled it off nearly as easily as Brown, drawing the applause of the rest of the LHS crew.

COMMENTARY

U.S. Amateur

Fort Lauderdale Sun Sentinel

Let’s say you’re a lawyer.

You have a bad day. Your boss calls you into his office.

He yells at you. He says if this keeps up you’ll lose your job.

Here’s the question: Would you want that shown on national television?

Or you’re a salesman. You blew the sale. You let your company down. Your boss calls you a doofus. You hear others mocked you behind your back.

Is it necessary that everyone in America sees that?

That’s why, after Wednesday’s Dolphins practice ended, a veteran walked by me as a media swarm surrounded rookie tight end Michael Egnew and said, “See why we didn’t want this show?�

Egnew was one of the unintentional stars of the second episode of HBO’s “Hard Knocks.� He was ripped loudly by offensive coordinator Mike Sherman. It was great TV for viewers. It was raw and real TV for us in the media.

It also explained, once again, why when coach Joe Philbin announced a few months ago the Dolphins would do the show, most veterans groaned.

They didn’t want cameras and microphones in places where cameras and microphones don’t belong.

They also see through the double standard underlined again this week. When veteran Karlos Dansby questioned the release of Chad Johnson, Philbin chastised him by saying such thoughts should be kept private. “I’m of the opinion that you should keep things in house in that regard,� Philbin said.

Most companies feel that way. Mine does. Yours probably does, too.

Yet when Philbin allowed cameras and microphones inside meeting rooms and on practice fields, didn’t he allow every manner of criticism of his players to go public in a big way?

Sure, it’s amusing to hear jokes of cornerback Vontae Davis’ bladder control. But maybe not to Davis. It was telling coaches scoffed at receiver Roberto Wallace’s speed, calling him “Ankle Weights� Wallace.

But why not keep that in the family?

You saw Chad Johnson being set up for his release with video of Philbin questioning his grasp of the system. You saw tight ends Charles Clay and Egnew being ripped in the kind of message that rattles windows. “Egnew, you were terrible,�

Sherman says. “I would cut you today if I were the GM. You’re drafted as a high pick. ... It’s not good enough.�

That’s the direct and demanding way coaches talk in private. It’s criticism players are accustomed to hearing behind closed doors all their football lives, too. It’s great TV. But again: Do you want a private message going public if you’re the target?

This is why most players don’t enjoy “Hard Knocks.�

Sure, who cares about the players. If they can’t take the criticism, they’re not tough enough anyhow. Criticism is one thing.

Embarrassment, another.

SERGIO GARCIA WATCHES HIS TEE SHOT ON THE SECOND HOLE during the third round of the Wyndham Championship on Saturday in Greensboro, N.C.

Garcia fires 66, takes one-shot Wyndham lead GREENSBORO, N.C. — Sergio Garcia shot a 4-under 66 on Saturday to take the lead at 14-under 196 after three rounds at the Wyndham Championship.

Tim Clark and Bud Cauley were a stroke back, with Jason Dufner, Harris English and Carl Pettersson at 12 under entering the final round of the last event before the FedEx Cup playoffs.

Dufner shot a 63, Cauley had a 66, Clark a 67, and English and Pettersson 68s.

Garcia — whose second-round 63 marked his best PGA Tour round in a decade — made a move with consecutive birdies midway through the back nine that briefly helped him leapfrog his playing partner, Clark.

Garcia plopped his tee shot 4 feet from the flagstick on the par-3 12th and tapped in, then followed that with a birdie on No. 13 to move to 14 under. Then, after just his second bogey of the tournament, he bounced back with a birdie on No. 15. Clark might have had the lead comfortably to himself, had he not missed short birdie putts on consecutive holes midway through the back nine.

GOLF

Huston up by one after 67 ENDICOTT, N.Y. — Defending champion John Huston shot a 5-under 67 to take a one-stroke lead over Brad Faxon after the second round of the Dick’s Sporting Goods Open.

Huston had a 12-under 132 total in the Champion Tour event at En-Joie Golf Club. Faxon shot a 66.

Willie Wood and Peter Senior were three strokes back at 9 under. Wood had a 68, and Senior shot 67. Wood was one of 12 players who finished the rain-delayed first round Saturday.

PRO BASKETBALL

Ibaka, OKC agree on extension OKLAHOMA CITY — NBA blocks leader Serge Ibaka has agreed to a contract extension with the Oklahoma City Thunder, bringing back another key contributor to a team that made the finals last season.

General manager Sam Presti announced Saturday that Ibaka had agreed to a multi-year extension but did not provide details, citing team policy. Yahoo! Sports first reported the deal is for four years and $48 million.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Missing K-State player found MANHATTAN — A Kansas State football player from Arkansas who had been missing since Wednesday has been found, but Riley County police aren’t saying much beyond that.

Sam Harvill’s mother told investigators her son hadn’t been seen since 1:30 p.m. Wednesday. Riley County police issued a news release Saturday morning saying they had found Harvill in “good physical condition� Friday night.

Harvill came to Kansas State from Springdale, Ark., last summer and practiced with the team but got hurt and didn’t see any game action.

The defensive lineman is not currently on the team’s roster, but the team says he remains a member of the program.

NFL PRESEASON The Associated Press

Giants 26, Jets 3 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Rookie Jayron Hosley returned an interception of Mark Sanchez 77 yards for a touchdown, and the New York Giants’ defense stifled the Jets’ starters in a preseason victory between the hometown rivals on Saturday night.

Tim Tebow, making his home debut for the Jets (0-2), didn’t fare much better in his six series.

But the backup quarterback led the Jets (No. 14 in the AP Pro32) to their only points of the night — Josh Brown’s 30-yard field goal.

Lawrence Tynes kicked four field goals for the Giants (1-1). Eli Manning and the Giants (No. 3) starters were mostly quiet, with the Super Bowl MVP going 7 of 14 for 62 yards and an interception.

Sanchez finished 9 of 11 for 59 yards and the costly interception, and was under pressure nearly every play. He was sacked three times, including twice by Jason Pierre-Paul.

Texans 20, 49ers 9 HOUSTON — Matt Schaub threw a touchdown pass to Lestar Jean, Trindon Holliday returned a punt for another score and Houston’s defense stifled San Francisco in the Texans’ win over the 49ers.

Bears 33, Redskins 31 CHICAGO — Jay Cutler and Brandon Marshall looked sharp from the start, and the Chicago Bears beat Robert Griffin III and the Washington Redskins in a preseason game.

In their first appearance together for the Bears (tied for 11th in the AP Pro32), Cutler and Marshall picked up where they left off when they starred together with the Denver Broncos. They connected on a 41-yard pass on Chicago’s first play from scrimmage to set up the first of two firstquarter touchdown runs

by Michael Bush, and the defense contained Griffin.

Making matters worse for Washinton (No. 25), they lost Pro Bowl linebacker Brian Orakpo (shoulder) and safety Brandon Meriweather (knee) to injuries late in the first quarter.

fumble at the Kansas City 31. Amendola tumbled into the end zone with the ball despite interference on Javier Arenas to put the Rams up 14-0 with just over 10 minutes to go in the first.

The Rams made an immediate splash a week after coach Jeff Fisher’s debut was a flop against the Colts. Bradford hit Amendola for a 35-yard gain off play action on the opening snap, and St. Louis needed only four plays and 1:58 to move 80 yards to take the lead on Kendricks’ catch over the middle.

Rookies Isaiah Pead and Daryl Richardson scored on short runs in the third and fourth quarters for St. Louis. The Rams had a short field after Matthew Conrath intercepted Ricky Stanzi on a ball tipped by Jerome Murphy at the Chiefs 18 on the second play of the third quarter. That set up a 1-yard run by Pead, a second-round pick slated to be Jackson’s backup.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

Schaub completed 11 of 14 passes for 128 yards in two quarters, looking sharp in his second game since fracturing his right foot in Week 10 last season.

The 5-foot-5 Holliday, who returned a kickoff 90 yards for a score in the Texans’ preseason opener, scored in the fourth quarter.

The Texans (No. 6 in the AP Pro32) held the 49ers to 267 yards and 13 first downs. Alex Smith completed 5 of 9 passes for 49 yards for the 49ers (No. 4).

KANSAS CITY ROYALS’ ALCIDES ESCOBAR (2) BEATS THE TAG by Chicago White Sox catcher Tyler Flowers, left, during the fifth inning on Saturday at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. Escobar scored on a single by teammate Billy Butler.

Eric Hosmer contributed a solo home run in the sixth as the Royals rapped out 15 hits overall.

The White Sox committed a season-high four errors. They entered ranked second in the majors with a .988 fielding percentage. It was just their ninth multi-error game this season.

The Royals took advantage of miscues by catcher Tyler Flowers, right fielder Alex Rios and second baseman Gordon Beckham to push across two unearned runs in the third.

Butler had an RBI single and scored on Moustakas’ base hit.

Bruce Chen (9-10) held the White Sox scoreless until Dunn doubled and scored on Konerko’s 20th homer in the sixth. It was Konerko’s 41st career home run against Kansas City.

Rangers 2, Blue Jays 1 TORONTO — Nelson Cruz hit a two-run homer, Joe Nathan converted his team-record 22nd straight save opportunity, and Texas beat Toronto on Saturday.

Nathan broke the Rangers mark he shared with Francisco Cordero, who was successful on 21 chances in a row in 2004.

Nathan was the sixth pitcher for Texas.

Roy Oswalt started for Texas in place of Ryan Dempster, who missed his regular turn because of personal issues. Oswalt allowed one run and two hits in 4 2/3 innings, striking out five, walking two and balking twice in his first start since July 30.

Robbie Ross worked 1 1/3 innings, Tanner Scheppers got an out, Michael Kirkman (1-2) escaped a bases-loaded jam in the seventh, Mike Adams pitched the eighth and Nathan closed it out for his 24th save in 25 chances.

Toronto lost for the 15th time in 20 games despite limiting the AL West leaders, baseball’s highest scoring offense entering play Saturday, to five hits.

The Blue Jays opened the scoring in the third when Anthony Gose drew a one-out walk, stole second, moved to third on a balk and came home as

Sporting K.C. tops Toronto TORONTO (AP) — Kei Kamara scored on a free kick in the 83rd minute to lift Sporting Kansas City to a 1-0 victory over Toronto FC on Saturday.

Kamara’s kick deflected off Toronto midfielder Andrew Wiedeman and through the fingers of goalkeeper Milos Kocic and into the bottom right corner of the net as Kansas City (14-7-4) won its third straight MLS contest.

“It’s one of those set pieces that’s not something that we crossed in and we finished it,” he said. “It’s one of those where ... I tried to hit it on frame, and it took a perfect reflection for it to go to the back of the net.”

Sporting leads the Eastern Conference and is unbeaten in five straight games with the playoffs about a month away.

“We’re just feeling it,” said Kamara. “We’re top of the conference and we know if we keep playing

our game thing are going to go our way. We want to finish the season being top of the league, and that’s a goal.”

Toronto (5-14-5), which has had trouble with dead balls and giving up late

goals, remained last in the Eastern Conference and extended its unbeaten streak to four matches.

“That’s been the story of the season,” Toronto defender Darren O’Dea said. “We should have taken a point against a very good team. We’ve come away with nothing again and obviously it’s disappointing.”

Toronto came out strong in the second half as Eric Hassli immediately went to work fighting off defenders and battling for possession in the box only to be shown a yellow card for his tenacious efforts.

He nearly scored in the 54th with a flick off Ryan Johnson’s cross, but the ball rolled a foot wide of the right post. Johnson headed a pass from Torsten Frings slightly over the crossbar in the 70th minute.

The game got off to a chippy start with two yellows in the first 15 minutes.

Frings earned a yellow card in the eighth by tackling a driving Graham Zusi from behind. The resulting free kick was blocked.

Four minutes later Kansas City defender Aurelien Collin was shown a yellow for a bad foul, but Frings couldn’t connect on the free kick from outside the box.

In the 19th, Sporting defender Seth Sinovic fired an ambitiously long-range shot from outside the box that found a clear path, though Kocic proved up to the task.

Kocic made a dazzling save in the 30th off a blazing right-footed shot from Kamara and then four minutes later stifled a charging Teal Bunbury that had the crowd roaring.

Toronto had several corner kick chances toward the end of the first half and came close with Terry Dunfield’s header that Nielsen tipped just inches over the crossbar.

Moms CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

“She can handle her own,” Brown said of his mom. “She definitely wears the pants in the family.”

The senior and his mother happily played their roles in the skit.

“We really stress on being a team, and everybody should be together and come in on time as a team,” Brown said.

“Hopefully a little bit of punishment gets your mind right and helps you.”

The mock discipline marked the most intense moment of a lighthearted afternoon when coaches didn’t mind if their players (the moms) suffered through some pre-snap confusion, dropped a pass during a drill or wore their sunglasses the entire practice.

Wedd said the annual event has helped get families more involved with the LHS program.

“The kids enjoy it as much as the moms, and I think you can throw the dads in, too,” the coach said.

In fact, Mom’s Camp could just as easily have been called Dad’s Photography Day, with the men toting cameras and phones while circling the field in an attempt to capture all the action.

Saturday marked the third camp for the mother of senior receiver Erick Mayo, Lori Howell, who said she gained a new level of respect for her son’s work on the field.

“It’s a great time coming out and spending time with the boys,” Howell said, “and learning their stuff like they do with the kids they play with.”

Paige Hofer, senior receiver Drake Hofer’s mom, enjoyed not only meeting the other mothers but being on the LHS football field.

“I know that’s where Drake loves to be,” she said.

Brown called the 45-minute workout prior to an afternoon scrimmage a brief vacation from football. He couldn’t have been happier to share it with McDiffett.

“She’s a nice mom,” Brown said. “I love her.”

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

Linebacker Tharp returns healthy, hungry attitude anytime there’s a new change or anytime coming off injuries,” Tharp said. “More than anything you are hungry to prove yourself and get out on the field. More than anything I want to help out coach Cross, do my job for him, do my job for the defense, help the team out as much as I can.”

Campo sees some good things in Tharp, who had a career-high 13 tackles against Nebraska in 2009.

“I can’t speak to what happened before. I know he was a pretty good player his first year out (of high school),” Campo said.

“I think obviously he feels better, is more healthy.

Something happened where he didn’t get much playing time, whether it was injury or whatever.

If he stays healthy, he’s a good football player.”

Tharp said his left foot feels fine, the only sign of his surgery a scar on top of his foot.

“It’s pretty gnarly looking. It feels good now. I really don’t notice it anymore,” Tharp said. “Coming off the foot injury, I am feeling good right now and excited about this season.”

Tharp — he mainly played on special teams last year — has put on 12 pounds since the end of the 2011 season.

“Taking on blocks ... when you’ve got that extra weight, it’s that much easier,” Tharp said. “Strengthwise I know I increased most of my lifts by 40 pounds or so. That always helps you out.”

He said his speed hasn’t been negatively affected by the weight gain.

“I mean coach Holsopple (Scott, strength coach) ... he is extremely smart with what he does. It’s not just all about weight training, gaining weight and strength. We were doing speed training all through the summer and winter, too. You’ve got both sides of the spectrum you are working on. They kind of go hand in hand. My speed has increased with my strength.”

He said the added weight has helped his confidence.

“It’s huge,” Tharp said.

“If you know you are feeling good, you don’t have anything in the back of your mind that is going to hold you back, so it helps you play to the best of your abilities.”

As far as how much he’ll play this year ... Tharp has taken to heart linebacker coach Cross’ comment that there is a “floating depth chart” this season.

A player can vault from back-up status at the start of August camp to major contributor in a hurry.

“I feel I am playing a lot better than I was in the spring. That’s all I can ask from myself is keep getting better,” Tharp said. “I think I’m putting myself in good position to have an impact on this team.

“Individual accolades are not a huge deal to me,” he added, acknowledging it was “pretty humbling” to earn frosh All-America honors. “Above all I want to win games. Since I’ve been a freshman, I haven’t had a winning season here. Above all I want to win games and get to a bowl game.”

KANSAS UNIVERSITY LINEBACKER HULDON THARP LOOKS TO MAKE A TACKLE during defensive drills at the Fan Appreciation Day open practice, Aug. 11 at Memorial Stadium.

Powlus CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

College is all about learning and even leadership traits can be learned.

“That’s what coach Weis and I help them do,” Powlus said. “That’s part of our job, too. It’s not just making them know what to do on this pass play. It’s how to be a leader: ‘Hey, now’s a good time to say this.’ Whispering in their ear so it helps them to be in a leadership position.”

After the huddle breaks, what then?

“On the way to the play clock, check the play clock,” Powlus said.

“Make sure everybody’s lined up properly, see the defensive front of their line, see the secondary, what they’re doing. Start your cadence, moving anybody that needs to be moved, whether it’s motion or shift.”

How is the player moved?

“We might just say shift,” he said. “It might be part of the cadence.

We might move him with our heel or wave him with our hand. If we’ve called a play where somebody’s moving, they’re going to be looking at the quarterback waiting for him to tell them to move. Check the play clock again. Identify the defense verbally, making a Mike ID (locating the middle linebacker), go through the snap count and take the snap. See the way the coverage has adjusted on a pass play, what’s it done, then make a decision on a play.”

And then rinse and repeat.

Donny Wasinger ran his way to the kind of momentum-boosting year any soon-to-be senior could appreciate.

First came cross country success in the fall of 2010 — the Kansas University junior finished 10th out of 171 runners at the Midwest regional championships. Wasinger followed it up in the 2011 outdoor track season by picking up an AllAmerica honorable mention in the 1,500 Wasinger meters after placing 14th at the NCAA Championships.

The 5-foot-10 distance runner from Winona, Minn., couldn’t wait to expand on that success in his senior year. But before Wasinger could complete the Jayhawks’ first cross country workout of the fall 2011 season, a torn left achilles wrecked his plans.

With a cast on his leg for six weeks, he had no choice but to take a medical red shirt.

Used to racing over any landscape in his path for miles at a time, walking around with the help of crutches seemed like an out-of-body experience.

“That was like the worst thing I’ve ever been through,” Wasinger said. “I hated being on crutches.”

Kansas University junior linebacker Huldon Tharp is playing for his third set of football coaches in four seasons ... but who’s counting?

Not the 6-foot, 225-pound linebacker from Mulvane, who earned freshman All-America honors under Mark Mangino in 2009, redshirted one year, played a year under Turner Gill and now has two seasons remaining with Charlie Weis.

“Most d e f i n i t e - Tharp ly,” Tharp said, asked if he’s enjoying learning under a coaching staff that includes former NFL coaches Weis, Dave Campo and DeMontie Cross, as well as former NFL players Tim Grunhard and Ron Powlus.

“We’ve got Super Bowl rings on our staff now. As a kid, you see these guys on TV. It’s pretty humbling to have a chance to learn from some all-time greats,” Tharp added.

Tharp — he started seven games and had 59 tackles for Mangino as a freshman then had to redshirt his true sophomore season and play sparingly last season following foot surgery — now is in the process of trying to impress Weis, defensive coordinator Campo and linebackers coach Cross.

“You’ve got to have that

“

(My achilles injury) was like the worst thing I’ve ever been through. I hated being on crutches.”

J-W Staff Reports

— Kansas University cross country runner Donny Wasinger The props became the bane of his injured existence because he couldn’t run. A waterproof cast allowed him to do some exercising in a swimming pool.

“It’s just not the same,” Wasinger recalled.

Even after the removal of the cast and getting cleared to again train on land, it would take the single-minded runner time to regain his former ability.

“It’s just as hard mentally as it is physically,” Wasinger said of rehabbing.

“Definitely a little bit of shock to the confidence.”

Now that KU’s cross country season opener is two weeks away — Sept. 1 at Rim Rock Farm — the fifth-year senior said his intense training and the roundabout way he had to take to reach his final season has raised his anticipation.

Kansas assistant coach Michael Whittlesey said the cross country team needs Wasinger’s leadership this year, and his presence alone should increase the confidence of the Jayhawks’ other runners.

Whittlesey and Wasinger conversed about

KANSAS UNIVERSITY’S DONNY WASINGER RUNS in the 1,500 meters during the Kansas Relays in this file photo from April 23, 2011. Wasinger, who earned All-America honorable mention honors in the event that same season, had to take a year off after tearing his left achilles tendon and will return to competition this fall with the KU cross country team. the runner’s commitment during his junior year, and the coach said it preceded Wasinger’s transformation into an elite-level runner.

“I always felt like he was kind of short-changing himself compared to the other (top) athletes on other teams,” Whittlesey said.

The assistant coach asked Wasinger if he would concede that other schools’ No. 1 runners were better than him if they were on the same team. The answer was no.

“If I was running with those guys,” Wasinger told the coach, “I wouldn’t let them ever beat me.”

Wasinger desires to get

back to his former AllBig 12 self, but because he wasn’t able to run any farther than a 1,500 this past spring as he was getting back into shape, he knows an 8K cross country race will be a challenge.

“I’ll have to catch on quick. It’s not that long of a season,” Wasinger said of the six meets before the NCAA Championships.

“There’s not a lot of room for error. One bad meet is a fifth of your season, a sixth of your season.”

At this point, though, having his career back on track is all that matters.

“It was a pain,” Wasinger said of missing last year, “for sure.”

The Kansas University volleyball team kicked off its 2012 campaign with its annual Crimson and Blue match, Saturday at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center.

The Jayhawks split into two squads — Crimson and Blue — and played in front of supporters, including nearly 20 former KU players and coaches.

The Blue team, led by assistant coach Laura Kuhn, defeated head coach Ray Bechard’s Crimson team, 3-1.

“Everybody was a little anxious and there were some unforced errors, but that’s why we do this — to get some of those things out of the way,” Bechard said. “I thought we played very hard. There were a lot of good rallies, which is a sign that we’re playing hard, but that also says something about our execution, too. We did see some solid things today.”

Junior Catherine Carmichael and sophomore Sara McClinton led all players with 17 total kills while splitting time between the two squads.

KU will travel to the Arkansas Tournament for its first matches of the season next weekend. The Jayhawks open against Northwestern State at 4:30 p.m. on Friday in Fayetteville, Ark.

Peppers confirms transcript was posted on UNC site CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — Former North Carolina football standout Julius Peppers confirmed it was his academic transcript that was posted on the university’s website and insists there was “no academic fraud” with it.

The Chicago Bears’ defensive end released a statement through his agent Saturday, nearly a week after a link to the transcript surfaced.

“This week has been an upsetting and challenging week for me, as one of my most private academic documents appeared on the university’s website for public examination,” Peppers said. “I’m terribly disappointed in the fact that my privacy has been violated, as well as frustrated with whoever

negligently and carelessly committed such a flagrant error.”

The school never confirmed the authenticity of the transcript, which lists Peppers’ name at the top, but has said it is investigating how the document wound up on the website.

School officials removed the link and have said they can’t discuss confidential student information covered by federal privacy laws.

The link showed Peppers received some of his highest grades in classes in the Department of African and Afro-American Studies (AFAM). A school investigation has since found fraud and poor oversight in 54 AFAM classes between summer 2007 and summer 2011,

with football players making up more than a third of the enrollments and student-athletes making up 58 percent of the overall enrollments in those suspect classes.

“I can assure everyone that there is no academic fraud as it relates to my college transcript,” Peppers said in the statement.

“I took every course with qualified members of the UNC faculty and I earned every grade whether it was good or bad.

“I was never given unapproved assistance or preferential treatment in terms of my academic career because I was a student-athlete. I was also never deemed ineligible to compete on any of the football or basketball teams.”

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA QUARTERBACK MATT BARKLEY celebrates the Trojans’ 2011 victory over UCLA in Los Angeles. USC was ranked No. 1 in the Associated Press preseason football poll released Saturday.

USC tops AP poll ————

OU No. 4 in preseason rankings NEW YORK (AP) — Southern California is No. 1 in the AP Top 25, tossing off the weight of NCAA sanctions and returning to a familiar place in the rankings — with a boost from LSU’s problems.

USC earned the top spot in The Associated Press’ preseason college football poll for the seventh time in school history and the first time in five seasons, edging out No. 2 Alabama and No. 3 LSU. The Trojans, who were banned from postseason play the past two seasons, received 25 of a possible 60 first-place votes from a media panel in a close vote. USC received 1,445 points. Defending national champion Alabama had 17 first-place votes and 1,411 points while LSU, the Crimson Tide’s SEC rival, had 16 first-place votes and 1,402 points.

“We definitely didn’t come here to be underdogs,” Trojans safety T.J. McDonald said Saturday. “The ranking doesn’t mean we’ve done anything as a team. But it’s good to see we’re back where we’re supposed to be.”

Oklahoma was fourth with a single first-place vote and Oregon was fifth.

Michigan, at No. 8, received the only other firstplace vote.

The Tigers were poised to start the season No. 1 before Heisman Trophy finalist Tyrann Mathieu got kicked off the team a week ago.

In light of that development, the AP extended the voting deadline. Before Mathieu was dismissed, reportedly for failed drug tests, LSU had received 28 of a possible 60 first-place votes. USC was a close second with 22 first-place votes and Alabama was third with nine.

The USA Today coaches’ poll, which was released Aug. 2, had LSU at No. 1, followed by Alabama and USC. Rounding out the top 10 in the AP rankings, Georgia was No. 6, followed by Florida State and Michigan. No. 9 South Carolina and No. 10 Arkansas give the Southeastern Conference half of the first 10 teams.

For the Trojans, their return to national championship contention comes just two years after the program was hit by NCAA sanctions that seemed crippling at the time.

“To be handed down what they said could be a death penalty, could take USC 10 years to come back from, then to have this recognition and be preseason No. 1 is very exciting for our fans because

a lot people thought two years ago that this would not be possible for USC,” coach Lane Kiffin told the AP. Kiffin was an assistant coach for USC during its last great run. From 200109 under coach Pete Carroll, the Trojans won two national titles and played for a third, made seven straight BCS appearances and had three Heisman Trophy winners in Carson Palmer, Matt Leinart and Reggie Bush. At one point, USC spent a record 33 straight weeks at No. 1.

But Carroll left for the NFL after the 2009 season and Kiffin was hired to replace him. A few months later the NCAA hit USC with a two-year bowl ban, plus scholarship limitations and probation because Bush and his family received impermissible benefits.

USC went 8-5 in 2010, then charged back to 10-2 last season. And when star quarterback Matt Barkley decided to stick around for his senior season instead of entering the NFL draft, the Trojans, free from the bowl ban, were set to make a run at No. 1.

“There’s not a roof over our heads now,” McDonald said.

And USC is once again trendy in Los Angeles.

“Do you feel that?

Sure you do,” Kiffin said.

“Games already sold out.

Just the energy around it.

All those different things.

That’s how it was before.

I’ve talked to these players about it.”

With Barkley, the preseason Heisman favorite, along with receivers Robert Woods and Marqise Lee, plus running backs

Curtis McNeal and Penn State transfer Silas Redd, these Trojans have drawn comparisons to those great Leinart/Bush offenses.

“They are going to be successful because of the work they put in and not because of the hype,” Kiffin said.

If USC has questions, it’s on the defensive side, where the line is thin and the pass defense was spotty last season. Those potent Pac-12 offenses will provide plenty of tests, none stiffer than on Nov. 3 when Oregon comes to the Coliseum for the first of a possible two contests with the Trojans.

USC and Oregon could also meet in the Pac-12 title game.

Trojans-Ducks might be only the second-biggest game of the day on Nov. 3.

That will also be the day of Round III of AlabamaLSU, after the Tide and Tigers played twice last season, the second time in the BCS title game.

Alabama won the rematch 21-0 to take its second national title in the last three seasons under coach Nick Saban.

LSU has a new quarterback, Zach Mettenberger, who the Tigers hope will give the passing game more punch, and much of last year’s fearsome defense is back — except Mathieu.

The defensive back nicknamed Honey Badger became a surprising Heisman contender with a slew of game-changing plays last season. He scored four touchdowns, two on punt returns and two on fumble returns.

His departure was met with mixed reaction by voters, but in a tight race for No. 1 it made a difference.

“Tyrann Mathieu’s a terrific player, but I don’t think the overall effect will change LSU’s results,” said John Silver from the Journal Inquirer of Connecticut, who did not change his ballot after the Mathieu news. “I don’t think a corner can make that big of a difference. It hurts them, but at the margins.”

Seth Emerson of The Macon (Georgia) Telegraph dropped LSU from No. 1 to No. 3, behind Alabama and USC. “On the one hand, he wasn’t exactly known as a lock-down cornerback and LSU has plenty of other talent. On the other hand, I was in the Georgia Dome last year when Mathieu single-handedly turned the tide of the SEC championship,” Emerson wrote on his blog.

Fictional murder helps bring small town’s history to life

My main light with an umbrella was positioned to the left of the subject.

hen it comes to photographing in low light, people using point-andshoot cameras are limited on controlling the quality of their light output.

The typical P&S camera has only a low-powered pop-up flash that directs its light straight ahead. This is the least flattering kind of flash in low light. If you use a digital single-lens reflex (DSLR), you have more options.

While some DSLRs come with a pop-up flash, their big advantage is the hot shoe, the small mounting bracket at the top of most DSLRs. From this hot shoe you can attach all sorts of equipment to improve your flash photography in both daylight and low light.

Here are some techniques and tools for better lighting with DSLRs: !"A hot-shoe-mounted flash is the simplest and cheapest way to improve artificial lighting on a DSLR.

common scenario played out.

“It was at least 45 minutes of me dropping the hoop every three tries,” Blakeman says, “and the trick is only, like, a second.”

The first time Blakeman saw hoop dancers was in her home state of Colorado, at a String Cheese Incident concert. She was intrigued. But it wasn’t until a few years later — when a friend’s daughter taught her a hoop trick at a dinner party — that she jumped in with both feet.

Blakeman, then 18, and her sister both took lessons, took them seriously, and about a year later found themselves spinning glowing hoops in front of 3,000 fans at a String Cheese Incident concert.

Blakeman extended her practice into dance, which — though her grace belies it — was new to her just a few years ago.

“I actually grew up playing the cello and didn’t do any kind of dance or movement,” she says. “And then I started hooping and kind of found a missed love.”

“I wanted it so badly,” she says. “I don’t give up until I get it.”

Blakeman entered the Kansas City Art Institute as a painting student and emerged a graduate of the school’s interdisciplinary program (though she says if she’d started hooping earlier she might have chosen circus school instead).

At the art institute, she found ways to incorporate hooping in her projects, including multimedia

dance collaborations with other artists, light painting with LED hoops and an environmental dance production for children.

One skill she’s been beefing up for this weekend’s Busker Festival is, well, busking.

Busking goes beyond just performing to engaging whoever’s watching you.

Blakeman says her street performances may include stories about this history of the Hula-Hoop, calls for cheering louder the higher she throws her hoops, or calling grown men up on stage to see if they can hoop (they usually can’t, she says, and “it’s hilarious”).

You may be performing, Blakeman says, but “you’re not really busking unless you’re finding ways to directly involve your audience.”

TOO MUCH ON HIS PLATE

By Gary Henry

BOOK SIGNING

In her latest mystery, Eleanor Sullivan, a former dean of the Kansas University School of Nursing, has re-created in vivid detail a small town in 1830s Ohio, founded by her German immigrant ancestors, with one exception: a murder.

Sullivan’s latest book, “Cover Her Body,” is set in Zoar (rhymes with “oar”), a real town in east-central Ohio.

Its history is colorful, even bizarre.

Sullivan Zoar’s founders, the Society of Separatists, fled religious persecution in Germany, entered the U.S., and found work with the help of Quakers. To earn the money to pay off the town mortgage, the industrious immigrants helped build the Ohio Canal. A sevenyear ban on marriage and sex helped the Separatists, with their 2-to-1 ratio of women to men, stay focused on this and other town-building tasks, Sullivan says.

But there never was a murder. The historian she worked with, Kathy Fernandez, of the Ohio State Historical Society, wants to make that clear, Sullivan adds.

The novel’s protagonist,

Author Eleanor Sullivan will have a reading and book signing for “Cover Her Body” 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Raven Bookstore, 6 E. 7th St. Adelaide, a young midwife and herbalist, discovers 16-year-old Johanna floating dead in the river.

Adelaide’s own demons drive her to unravel the mystery, despite pressure to stop from her husband and the community.

More complications arise when Adelaide’s questioning attracts outside authorities, and she finds herself attracted to another man.

Like her protagonist, author Sullivan is unafraid of challenges. Widowed at 32 with five children, she entered nursing school despite hearing she was too old, it would take too long and would cost too much.

Since then, she’s earned her doctorate, authored papers, articles and award-winning nursing textbooks, served on a National Institute of Health committee, and testified before the Senate.

Sullivan turned to fiction to show how real nurses work — something contemporary media mostly fail to do, she says.

“Medical shows focus on doctors,” Sullivan says.

“But it’s nurses with their medical and decision-

making expertise who care for patients 24 hours a day.”

Sullivan, who currently lives in St. Louis, writes murder mysteries, because that’s what she loves to read, she says. Sullivan’s first three novels are contemporary, featuring ICU nurse Monika Everhardt in “Twice Dead,” “Deadly Diversion” and “Assumed Dead.”

In “Cover Her Body,” Sullivan adds painstaking historical research to her fiction, inspired by her grandmother’s tales of the Separatists and visits to Zoar with siblings and children.

Though the Separatist community disbanded in 1858 after its domineering patriarch Joseph Bimeler died, Zoar still exists as an historic site and tourist attraction.

Sullivan’s research showed her that life in Zoar was similar in some ways to our own.

“People still had their fears, hopes and dreams,” Sullivan says. “In the end, they were people just like us.”

“Cover Her Body,” Yesteryear Press, is available at the Raven Bookstore, 6 E. 7th St. in Lawrence.

America’s new Old West Author discovers troubled ‘Eden’

Here are the best-sellers for the week that ended Aug. 11, compiled from data from independent and chain bookstores, book wholesalers and independent distributors nationwide.

Fiction

By Hector Tobar Los Angeles Times

In his new book “Desert America: Boom and Bust in the New Old West,” Los Angeles writer Ruben Martinez leaves the city behind for the beauty and desolation of the dry, sparsely populated corners of what he calls the Beverly Rylko, “inner West.” job coach, He alights in northern Lawrence New Mexico, a land of “‘The Thousand Autumns pueblos and piñon trees, of Jacob De Zoet’ (by of sweeping vistas and David Mitchell).” old adobes. Many an adventurer and seeker has come to this land before him: Spanish conquistadors, American artists, New Age spiritualists, clipboard-toting Realtors.

The home he rents with his wife-to-be is within earshot of the roiling waters of the Rio Grande, amid old fruit trees and mesas where wild horses roam. Here, Martinez searches for truth and meaning. He is also trying, without much success, to break his drug habit — in Jesse Cheek, a place notorious for its epDouglas County Sheriff’s idemic of heroin overdoses.

Office employee, “I desired this place,” Lawrence he writes. For a self-de“‘It Worked for Me: In Life scribed city boy, it’s a kind and Leadership’ (by Colin of paradise. But a fraught Powell).” one. Soon Martinez discovers that northern New Mexico is “Eden with poverty, Eden with drugs, Eden with class warfare.”

Martinez, now a professor at Loyola Marymount University, is the author of four previous books. “Desert America” is his deeply moving and insightful account of his years searching for redemption and renewal far from L.A., in the sun-baked communities of “the new Old West.”

Ravkah Gardner-Frolic, In New Mexico and also in Joshua Tree and Marfa, student, Texas, he joins a steady Des Moines, Iowa “‘Anna Karenina’ (by Leo stream of bohemians and outcasts who are fleeing Tolstoy).” the fakery and the high rents of Los Angeles, New York and other places.

The new Old West, Martinez tells us, is where John Wayne filmed many an iconic movie and where immigrants die crossing the desert. It’s home to cookie-cutter subdivisions and water wars. Americans think of its open spaces as a blank page where any loser or dreamer can rewrite his or her life story.

At each of his stops, Robert Simms, however, Martinez probes English Teacher, the local history and Tokyo quickly discovers how “‘Narrative Dynamics: wrong-headed that thinkEssays on Time, Plot, Closure and Frame’ (by Brian Richardson).”

BEST-SELLERS

Rick Loomis/Los Angeles Times Photo

AUTHOR RUBEN MARTINEZ, pictured Aug. 3 near his Los Angeles home, has written a new book, “Desert America: Boom and Bust in the New Old West.” ing is. “Desert America” is a memoir that also manages to be an excellent work of reportage. Its main subject is the resilient people who populate the West’s harshest landscapes.

In the semi-rural subdivisions near Joshua Tree, Martinez encounters military families, hard drinkers and poor working people. All sorts of weird things happen: for example, a casting call for locals to play Iraqi villagers in a simulated battle at the nearby Marine base. The locals like the weirdness, their down-and-out bars, their pickup trucks and their anonymity.

When Martinez and his fellow bohemians arrive, they bring a real estate boom in their wake. More real estate booms follow Martinez to New Mexico and Texas. “And everywhere the boom arrived,” he writes, “it erased the stories and the people that stood in the way.”

The tension between old and new, between boom and bust, pulls “Desert America” forward. It’s a book about what the West was, and what it’s becoming. In its pages, Martinez and countless other people fall in love with the rugged West, only to discover how painful that love can really be.

“The sense of mourning is the desert West’s eternal refrain,” Martinez writes. “The land is there to remind you that it is no longer yours.”

In northern New Mexico, Martinez tries to grow vegetables in the poor soil. He embraces a new life mission.

“I’d live and write about

the West in a veritable Western museum,” Martinez says. “An American writer, I would claim my birthright, my place in the lineage.”

Soon afterward, he’s listening as the drugdealing couple next door fire insults at each other.

Various neighbors and activists invite Martinez into their world, including retired Hispanos with nostalgic memories of a now-fading rural culture and Anglo environmentalists who try to keep the Hispanos from gathering firewood.

Martinez discovers that life in New Mexico is a centuries-old knot of dark history. All the varied groups that live there — the native Pueblo peoples, the Hispanos descended from the Spanish conquistadors, and assorted U.S. transplants — have their own claims to, and obsession with, the land.

To each, Martinez is an empathetic listener. He’s also an astute observer, and a disciplined researcher who’s perfectly willing to sift through centuries of literature about New Mexico and its history to make sense of what’s really going on around him.

Indeed, Martinez treats all the people he writes about, and the places where they live, with a profound respect all too rare among the legions of Western writers who have preceded him. The result is an emotional and intellectually astute portrait of communities long neglected and misunderstood by American literature.

Martinez respects his subjects enough to be

honest about their failings. He’s also trying to be honest about his own.

In New Mexico, he continues feeding his addictions, hiding his drug use from his fiancee — she has come to the region, ironically enough, to study the local epidemic of overdoses and to work at a clinic with addicts.

Addiction, sadness and loss constantly return to haunt the narrative of “Desert America,” for both Martinez and for many of his neighbors in his adopted home.

“Depression here is both economic and existential, exacerbated by the dimming of prospects for a better life or even maintaining the life of one’s forebears,” Martinez writes of northern New Mexico.

But one man’s loss is another’s gain, he discovers. “Depressed real estate values mean an ‘opportunity’ for elites, a ‘steal,’” he says. It’s the unending circle of recent Western history: bust following boom, hope following loss, rebirth following death.

Indeed, in the final pages of “Desert America” death makes several appearances, often thanks to the scourge of drug addiction. Each passing is a reminder of life’s fragility in those rugged places.

And yet “Desert America” is not a lament. The people who live in the new Old West embrace the hopefulness that defines life there. It’s an ethos, he writes, born of the desire “to imagine for ourselves a new life, another country where we will no longer be strangers to ourselves or to each other.”

Joe Paterno bio due out this week STATE COLLEGE, PA. — Joe Paterno sobbed while meeting with his coaches and a former player the day after he was fired from Penn State, according to an excerpt of an upcoming on Paterno to be published in September’s GQ magazine.

Paterno was fired by school trustees in November in the fallout of the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal. He died in January at age 85.

Paterno had granted access to journalist Joe Posnanski in 2011 to write a biography. GQ features an exclusive excerpt, and the biography will be available in bookstores on Tuesday.

Teen searches for mom in delightful ‘Bernadette’

Bernadette has a problem — well, actually, she has a few. She is entirely exasperated by the way the streets are laid out in Seattle.

She dislikes Canadians. She’s not interested in helping out at her daughter’s school, which values parental involvement and “global connectitude.” She can be vocal, inclined toward sharing her opinions with her adolescent daughter Bee and brilliant, patient husband. Her opinions — they are the problem. In one context, they are funny riffs; taken out of context, they can look like rants. And maybe a little insane.

As the title of Maria Semple’s delightful novel “Where’d You Go, Bernadette” makes clear, Bernadette has gone missing. The story of the weeks leading to her disappearance and what happens after is told by Bee, who loves her mother, idiosyncrasies and all.

Bright and endlessly curious, Bee assembles a variety of documents — emails, memos, handwritten exchanges, magazine articles, police reports — and links them with a few personal observations.

It’s an epistolary novel, modern style.

When the story begins, Bee has

done so well in eighth grade that she demands her parents make good on an idle promise: that the family take a cruise to Antarctica.

Her father, Elgin, is game, even though he’ll have to take time off from Microsoft, where he’s leading an important project. Bernadette says she’ll go too; although she’s reluctant to follow through, she begins planning their trip anyway.

It’s not much work.

Unbeknownst to her family, Bernadette has used the Internet to outsource her daily responsibilities to a virtual personal assistant, Manjula Kapoor. For the price of just 75 cents an hour, Manjula buys their tickets, orders gear and even makes the family’s dinner reservations at a place down the street. Right from the start, Bernadette overshares with Manjula, as if she’s a therapist.

“I came up here on a whim, pretty much,” she writes in one long email. “We’d been living in L.A. when Elgie’s animation company was bought by Big Brother.

Whoops, did I say Big Brother?

I meant Microsoft. Around the same time, I’d had a Huge Hid-

eous Thing happen to me (which we definitely do not need to get into.) Let’s just say it was so huge and so hideous that it made me want to flee L.A. and never return.” Manjula gives a terse twoline response, but Bernadette hangs onto the relationship, no matter how unequal.

Bernadette has become isolated, left to stew in her own obsessions. She focuses on the unpleasant mothers from Bee’s school, whom she calls gnats. (Not nice.

But as we see from their email exchanges, the animosity goes both ways.)

And she complains about Seattle.

That city, the subject of so many of Bernadette’s rants, gets a satiric treatment that’s more sweet than sour. And its most amusingly rendered aspects — the exceedingly progressive school, a jargon-spouting fundraiser, ostentatiously ecoconscious neighbors — could be found in any upper-class suburb.

Yet Bee’s family, which moved into a falling-down former girls’ school, remains apart, particularly the truculent Bernadette.

In L.A., she was an architect.

After Bee was born early and sick,

raising her became Bernadette’s only project. Surprisingly, it turns out she’s a legend — her career was so individual and rarefied that she got a MacArthur “genius” grant.

Then, abruptly, it ended.

Semple’s characters are marvelous: They have untold secrets, personalities with multiple dimensions, moments of failure and grace. Maybe this is what Semple learned writing for the television show “Mad About You.” Before she left Hollywood — like Bernadette, Semple now lives in Seattle — she was a producer on “Arrested Development,” and there is quite a bit of that show’s unexpected, antic plotting in this novel. Its many twists and turns are genuinely surprising, so unexpected that I feel bad about mentioning the MacArthur fellowship.

I have to admit, this book does not fall in my sweet spot. A warm and humorous family drama, set in an upscale suburb, narrated by an unusually intelligent teenager — all those descriptors typically would send me running.

But I’ve seen Semple read; she was delightful and clever. She has written a fantastic, funny novel.

Its affecting characters, not-necessarily-nice humor and surprising plot twists make this novel an enchanting ride.

Regeneration: Singer Sam Baker Missing the good old celebrates K.C.’s Folly Theater back-to-school days

By Mike Krings

Sometimes when destruction is near and the ravages of time and violence threaten to win out, beauty can overcome.

In the case of Kansas City’s Folly Theater, years of decline and neglect nearly spelled the end of the venue. For Sam Baker, a bomb on a train nearly spelled the end of his very existence.

The theater will celebrate its 30th anniversary and help its funding drive to erect a new sign with a performance Saturday by the folk singer-songwriter Baker. He is donating part of his fee to aid the fund drive for the theater’s new sign.

Opened in 1900 as a vaudeville/burlesque house known as the Standard Theater, the venue has gone through numerous iterations as a performing space, hosting everyone from local performers to world-famous stars of the time such as Humphrey Bogart, Gypsy Rose Lee, The Marx Brothers and jazz titans of all eras including Jay McShann, Sonny Rollins and Wynton Marsalis.

By the early ’70s, the theater was falling into disrepair and had a date with a wrecking ball. But Kansas City philanthropists Joan Kent Dillon and William Deramus III recognized the building’s historical significance and spearheaded a community campaign to raise funds to restore and reopen the theater. The campaign was a resounding success, as the theater was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974 and reopened in its current iteration as a performance space in 1981.

The venue has been holding a yearlong celebration of its 30th anniversary, and Baker’s concert and a “Light the Lights” event Nov. 3 are the two main fundraising performance events to purchase a new sign for the classic neo-renaissance building.

Baker’s performance will be his second at the venue.

“It’s one of my favorite theaters anywhere,” Baker says. “The list of people who’ve played there is great. I think just about everything that can be done

The room holds sound in a way that just lingers.

And I like that.”

Near-death experience Like the theater he will perform in, Baker nearly met an untimely end while riding a train in Peru to visit world famous Machu Picchu in 1986. A terrorist bomb set off by the Sendero Luminoso, or “Shining Path,” Maoist group ripped through the train. Baker was hit by shrapnel and suffered injuries including brain damage, renal failure, gangrene, permanent hearing damage and a shredded left hand. The two German parents and their young son seated next to him weren’t as fortunate. They were killed immediately.

“I barely made it out,” Baker says. “There was a miraculous set of events that allowed me to make it back here (to the United States).”

After years of therapy, surgeries and recovery, Baker, who had always loved music but never pursued it seriously, was working at a construction job building apartments near Austin, Texas. As a way of dealing with the emotional scars of the attack, he started to write about his experiences in narrative form. While he spent years learning to write and trying to hone the craft, he was never happy with the story he

FUNDRAISING PERFORMANCE What: Cyprus Avenue Live: Sam Baker When: 8 p.m. Saturday Where: Folly Theater, 300 W. 12th St., Kansas City, Mo. Tickets: $10-$35, available via Ticketmaster or by calling the Folly at 816-474-4444 was putting together.

But during his writing sessions, melodies would come to him. He took a different tact and started writing songs. It clicked.

“I finally got to a place where it all made sense.

It’s odd how when you’re ready, things will happen,” Baker says.

But it wasn’t as easy as just putting words to song and hitting the road. He had to learn to play guitar left-handed. A natural righty, he could no longer work the fret board with his damaged left hand, but he could strum with it. He also has tinnitus, which causes a permanent ringing in his ears and a challenge in hearing music, conversation and the everyday sounds of life.

The brain damage he suffered mainly affected the part of the brain that stores language. He had to relearn to speak after the bombing, and he still can have trouble finding words that have been in his vocabulary his entire life.

‘This great artist’ Difficulties aside, he’d always had the goal of creating one piece of art in his lifetime. He realized that goal with the release of his first album, 2006’s “Mercy.” He played music with friends here and there after releasing the album, never fully expecting it to take off. It caught the attention of the BBC however, and became popular enough that he took his first swing through Europe, playing dates throughout the early part of the decade.

Back in Kansas City, Baker’s music caught the attention of Bill Shapiro, who has hosted the radio show Cyprus Avenue on KCUR-FM for 35 years. He featured Baker’s music and, as a former board member of the Folly Theater, was instrumental in bringing him to town for his first show there in the summer of 2010. The show went so well Baker offered to come back and play as a benefit for the theater. Ticket sales for the return date are already nearly double what they were the first time.

“People have really responded to Bill and this great artist,” says Gale Talley, executive director of the Folly. “(Baker) sounded great when he was here the last time, and we’re glad to have him back.”

Saturday’s show it will be “just me and a guitar,” Baker says. He doesn’t write out a set list, he says, instead he’ll take the stage, see what feels right and play what comes to him. That will likely include his moving folk ballads from his three albums: “Mercy,” “Cotton” and “Pretty World.”

The title of the latter is apt, as Baker says the focus of his music is not dark, even though his career was inspired by a violent act.

“One of the things I try to do is say how beautiful life is,” Baker says. “We are truly living in Paradise. In Eden, right now.

It’s a powerfully beautiful world.”

It seems only fitting then that he would share his songs of beauty, life and redemption in Kansas City’s oldest, and many would argue, most beautiful theater in its celebration of renewal.

Now that the Spencer Museum of Art at Kansas University has finally reopened after its watermain-break-induced closure, visitors will be greeted by someone new.

She goes by “Sophie.”

Sophie-Ntombikayise is a larger-than-life sculpture by 29-year-old Johannesburg, South Africa, artist Mary Sibande. The sculpture, now on display in the museum’s central court, was initially scheduled to go on display last weekend in the museum’s center court, but the Aug. 1 water main break kept the museum closed until Tuesday.

The figure’s skin (formed in cast resin) is onyx-black, with down-turned face and slightly contorted, outstretched arms. She’s nearly 7 feet tall, and her vivid purple and blue dress has piles of billowing tulle that roll onto the floor in a circumference wider than her height.

Sophie culminates Sibande’s series of sculptural installations featuring four generations of women in her family, all of whom worked as domestic servants, according to the Spencer. It’s the first work in a U.S. museum collection. The “wonderfully overblown” gown is meant to be an artificial hybrid costume of a maid’s uniform and regal Victorian dress, the Spencer’s exhibit announcement explains.

T

his week, I must have “liked” 347 “first day of school” pictures on my Facebook page.

There was darling Maddie, skipping off to kindergarten with her new hot-pink backpack.

Status update: “A new chapter begins. Sob!” Adorable Alexander posed sheepishly, at his mom’s insistence, with his first-grade teacher, Ms. Too Young To Be True. Status update: “He’s embarrassed now, but he’ll appreciate this later.

Boo-hoo!”

My lovely little niece, Carly, paused on the porch for a close-up before leaving summer 2012 behind. Status update: “First day of 5th grade!

Where does the time go? *Sniff, sniff!*” Even the older kids got into the act: There was Gabe, on the first day of junior high. Evie, moments before her freshman year.

And high school senior Mollie, hugging her best friend. Status update: “First day of their last year together… : ( ” One teacher even posted a “first day of school” picture... of herself! (I’m assuming it was a tonguein-cheek reaction to her own photo-filled Facebook feed, but still.)

“Get a grip, people!” I thought, after a shot of two cute-as-can-be sisters with a crossing guard appeared in my News Feed.

First of all, when did the first day of every school year become a mandatory photo op?

In my day, we took the obligatory kindergarten shot, plus maybe the last day of grade school. Of course, that was when film had to be developed and printed. Talk about labor intensive.

And hey, moms! What’s with the sobs, boo-hoos and sniffles? Your little angels will be home by 3:30, for crying out loud. Mix yourself a bloody mary, toast the end of weeknight sleepovers, and use your extra time to finish “Fifty Shades Freed.” The first day of school should feel like Christmas, New Year’s and Fat Tuesday rolled into one!

But, as much as I complained about the Facebook photo overload, a wave of nostalgia washed over me.

Truth is, I loved the old “back to school” days. I treasured those trips to Target and Office Depot to shop for No. 2 pencils, pink rubber erasers and spiral notebooks. I adored watching my kids spread their supplies out on the floor, gingerly opening their new boxes of crayons to inhale the scent. Sometimes, I’d steal a whiff, too.

“I miss this!” I said, as I gazed at the latest post from the grandmother of a precious preschooler.

“Ah, but those days are gone,” I told myself, considering a bloody mary, despite the 8:45 a.m. hour.

WAIT!! I almost forgot!! My daughter is going back to school in Kansas

Boomer Girl Diary

Cathy Hamilton cathy@boomergirl.com

City next week. It’s a professional program. A musician’s back-up career plan, but a school nonetheless.

I speed-dialed her at the new apartment.

“Hullo-o??” she said, drowsily.

“Hey, school girl!” I replied with cheerleader pep. “What do you say I take you to Office Depot on a school-supply shopping spree. How does a Boys II Men Trapper Keeper sound, baby?

Whooo-wee!!”

Dead silence.

“Mom?” she moaned, finally. “Are you drunk?”

“Don’t be ridiculous.

It’s 8:45 in the morning!

When we’re done, we’ll grab lunch and get you some new shoes and back-to-school underwear, too! And I’ll take your picture in the car before your very first commute!!”

Another 10 seconds of dead air.

“Mom. I’m 27,” she whispered. “Boundaries, remember? Like we agreed?”

“Boundaries, shmoundaries,” I shot back. “I need a Crayola fix. It doesn’t have to be Boys II Men. They might have ‘Lion King’ Trapper Keepers, too!”

I could hear her sitting up in bed. Then a long, exasperated sigh.

“Mom, listen to me. I was 9 when ‘The Lion King’ came out. That was a long time ago. I’ll get my own supplies. I don’t need crayons or underwear. And you’re not going to take my picture.”

“Fine,” I huffed. “But you have no idea what I’m going through, with all these kids’ back-toschool pictures and Paul Ryan wanting to kill Medicare. And what the heck is Shark Week? I feel so out of it, anymore!”

“MOM!” (She sounded surprisingly authoritative.) “Get off Facebook for a while. This, too, shall pass.”

We hung up. I knew she was right. Facebook had not only sucked another hour from my life, it made me needlessly envy the lives of others. I closed my computer and headed for the treadmill.

Then the phone rang.

“I WILL take you up on the shoe offer, though,” my daughter said.

“After crayons?” I asked.

“Deal,” she answered.

GOOD BUGS, BAD BUGS ——————

Identification key to control

I

n the plant world, horticulturists and gardeners are usually always battling some sort of insect pest, but this year is especially challenging because plants are already suffering from heat and drought stress.

Whether we’re talking squash bugs or borers, the key to control is always proper identification and assessment of the population.

Why identify the insect?

Because the insect you think is causing the problem may not be the real problem.

Lady beetle larvae and green lacewing larvae are two insect species that are commonly confused for “bad bugs” because of their menacing appearance.

However, both insects feed on aphids and other insects that cause injury to plants rather than causing harm to the plants themselves.

Even if the insect in question is causing injury, it may turn into something nicer — like a beautiful butterfly. Swallowtail butterfly larvae are notorious for stripping the leaves from parsley, but I would rather watch the adults they become flit on the breeze than have the fresh herb at every meal. Another solution that works well in this case is to plant more of

the plant than you need so you have some to share.

Another reason to identify the insect is that even if the insect causes injury, it may be just an incidental pest on the plant you find it on. I see squash bugs on sweet potato vines and other plants occasionally and boxelder bugs hanging out on trees other than maples or boxelders.

Since insects are really good at seeking out their preferred food sources, it is unlikely they will stay on an unfavorable plant species long enough to do injury.

Finally, more than one insect might be causing the plant injury, and identification can help you determine if more than one insect is present. For example, I recently

observed a few spotted cucumber beetles feeding on the leaves of the eggplant in the Master Gardener Demonstration Vegetable garden at the Douglas County 4-H Fairgrounds, 2110 Harper St. Although cucumber beetles are considered a pest of eggplant, I was more concerned with the mottling and discoloration of the leaves than the chewing those cucumber beetles were doing. Sure enough, eggplant lace bugs were the culprit doing the real damage but were barely visible on the undersides of the leaves.

Why assess the population? In the previous example, it would cost more time and money to control the cucumber beetles than the eggplant is worth. If there were more cucumber beetles and I was depending on the eggplant for supper, I would crunch numbers to see if control was worth the cost. The lace bugs, however, warrant treatment if I want to continue to harvest eggplant.

On an ornamental plant, I would consider the cost of replacing that plant in comparison to the time and money to control the insect. This is especially important with perennials because control over a number of years adds up.

On trees and other large plants, the insect population can be thought about in relation to the size of the plant.

For example, an aphid population on a small, newly transplanted maple might warrant treatment while the same number of aphids on a fullgrown maple is unlikely to affect the health of the tree.

Once you know what the insect is and whether it is worth trying to control, if it turns out to be a bad guy, control options are easier to find. Sucking insects like aphids and spider mites can be controlled with a hard stream of water created with a high pressure nozzle, and some insects can simply be scraped or picked from the plant. Horticultural oils, insecticidal soaps and spinosad products have low residuals and are less likely to harm beneficial insects than some conventional insecticides.

As always, make sure the insect you want to control and the plant you want to use it on are listed on the label. Different brands of pesticides, whether organic or conventional, contain different amounts of the active ingredient and different inert ingredients. Insecticides can cause injury to plants when

used improperly. A good example is neem — it is an active ingredient in insecticides, fungicides and herbicides — so picking up the wrong formulation might kill what you are trying to protect.

The Kansas Department of Agriculture offers Insects in Kansas, a full-color guide to many of the approximate 20,000 insect species found in Kansas, for $25 plus shipping and handling. The book may be ordered by calling 785-532-5830 or emailing orderpub@k-state.edu.

There are also several websites with insect identification guides and keys, although special attention should be paid to the insects distribution since species vary across regions.

Douglas County Extension Master Gardeners can also help identify insects through their horticulture hotline, which operates Monday-Friday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the K-State Research and Extension—Douglas County office at the fairgrounds.

Ancient iridescent glass being used in modern jewelry

By Terry Kovel

THE PEWTER MOUNTING with the mark of the Van Houten company helps identify this iridescent glass vase. Loetz and Kralik both used Van Houten pewter after 1890.

Neal Auction’s experts in New Orleans could say only that the 7 1/2-inch-high vase was “Continental.” Because of its quality, it auctioned for $854.

Ancient Roman iridescent glass dug up in Israel is now being featured in modern jewelry.

One of the jewelry designers told viewers of a late-night shopping channel that the thin layer of iridescence called “patina” was taken from the ancient glass and assembled flake by flake on a base used to create new jewelry.

A chemical reaction causes buried glass to form the iridescent layer. We have seen 1950s bottles buried in a damp location that show this type of iridescence. Artists have admired this

glass iridescence since the early 1800s. In 1817, a man from Scotland patented a way to iridize glass, but the glass that collectors like today, the kind with a golden iridescence, was made by Ludwig Lobmeyr of Austria-Hungary in 1873.

Other glass artists, including Louis Comfort Tiffany, began making their own type of iridescent glass. Some of the factories that made gold iridescent glass and the date they started are: Glasfabrik Johann LoetzWitwe (1890), Wilhelm Kralik Sohn (1890s), Tiffany (1896), Koloman Moser (1900), Quezal Art Glass Co. (1901) and

Steuben Glass Co. (1903).

Carnival glass, a less-expensive and very different-looking type of iridescent glass, was made after 1908.

Collectors and even experts often cannot identify the maker of a gold iridescent glass piece because the pieces are all so similar.

And modern glassmakers can produce very similar glass pieces, too, so there is much confusion.

The most expensive and most popular is Tiffany gold glass.

If there were such a genre, it would be an appropriate tag for “Copper” (9 p.m. Sunday, BBC America), the first original production from BBC America. ‘‘Copper” takes place in the last year of the Civil War, a time when Union victory and Abraham Lincoln’s re-election were hardly certain. Tom WestonJones stars as Kevin Corcoran, an Irish immigrant police officer from the squalid Five Points slum of New York, who rose to hero status in the Union Army only to return home to find his wife missing and his daughter murdered.

These two mysteries provide underlying motivations for the brooding Corcoran.

Corcoran’s war adventures put him in touch with a higher rank of 19th-century New Yorker, including aristocrat Robert Morehouse (Kyle Schmid) and his family. Corcoran also befriended Matthew Freeman (Ato Essandhoh), a medical genius forced to work as Morehouse’s valet in the war. Freeman allows Corcoran to pass off his medical insights and forensic discoveries as his own, since no one would believe them coming out of the mouth of a black man. ‘‘Copper” is richly textured and exciting to watch. In many ways, its setting reminded me of some of the novels (“Burr” and “1876”) of Gore Vidal, who died last month. It’s a boisterous, if violent, reminder that history was made by men and women of passions and complex motivations not unlike our own.

Dear Annie: This may not be your department, but I don’t know who else to ask. When I call to make a doctor’s appointment, the person on the other end asks why I want to see the doctor. I am not comfortable telling this person. When I get there, the nurse asks why I wish to see the doctor, as if I never called. Then, the doctor comes in saying, “So, what’s going on?” and we start all over.

This brings me back to the appointment maker. Why are these people expecting the most personal information in my life just because they an-

For Sunday, Aug. 19: This year you could be very concerned about your security. You also often find yourself having to repeat conversations after you have them, which could be frustrating. If you are single, you might become very fussy when relating to potential suitors. If you are attached, you often will have discussions about finances.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) You tend to be so responsive that you could assume the role of many other people. Listen to your inner voice before approaching a conversation. Tonight: If the other person doesn’t make the first move, it will be up to you.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You seem to be more childlike and fun than you have been in a long time. As a result, you are better able to relate to other generations.

Tonight: Forget tomorrow. Live now.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Once you get into a lazyday mood, it is difficult for you to break out of that mindset. A roommate or family member also might enjoy this laziness. Tonight: Act on your newfound spunkiness.

swer the phone saying, “Hi, I’m Kelly”? Is this information actually the least bit helpful to the doctor? — S. Dear S.: The person who answers the phone and makes the appointment needs to know what the problem is in order to allot sufficient time on the doctor’s schedule. A routine checkup, for example, takes more time than a blood test. Once you get into the doctor’s office, the nurse may want to be sure you have the same complaint and there are no additional problems. The doctor, however, should have your information at hand. We suspect asking again is simply the doctor’s way of opening the ACROSS conversation.

Drought slows grain elevator construction boom

By Roxana Hegeman Associated Press

WICHITA — The nation’s grain elevators, which underwent in recent years a construction boom to add storage, are now bracing for a drought-stricken harvest come fall that will bring in far fewer bushels to fill all those new bins and silos.

Among them is the Pawnee County Co-op Association in Larned, where the two 140-foot-tall concrete silos built just a couple of years ago dwarf all the other buildings in this western Kansas community. In the past four years, the co-op has put in 1.8 million bushels of new storage at its four locations in western Kansas.

But with a deepening drought marked by intense triple-digit heat and lack of rain taking a toll on local crops, the co-op is closely watching its expenses in anticipation of far less revenue this fall to store crops. It plans to do preventive maintenance to ward off any catastrophic repair bills.

And it does not expect to hire any seasonal workers like it usually does. The company now employs 32 full-time people at its four Kansas elevators.

“We try to take care of the full-time people as best we can — and that means that instead of hiring seasonal labor, we’ll work the full-time guy a little harder and a little longer,” elevator manager Hugh Mounday said. “But at least he has a job versus cutting his hours and laying him off.”

‘It will rain again’ Nonetheless, this season’s drought isn’t keeping the co-op from going ahead with plans to add at least another 800,000 bushels of storage next year, Mounday said. The firm that builds those concrete grain storage tanks has a backlog of orders to fill, and then it takes time to put up elevators, he explained.

“This is long-term storage for us, we are short of storage space anyway,” Mounday said. “It will still be there. It will rain again.”

“

We try to take care of the full-time people as best we can — and that means that instead of hiring seasonal labor, we’ll work the full-time guy a little harder and a little longer.”

— Hugh Mounday, elevator manager McPherson Concrete Storage Systems Inc., the McPherson company that builds the concrete silos for Pawnee County co-op and other elevators across the Midwest, said the firm has not had any cancellations despite the drought.

It is now booked with work until late fall or early winter, said salesman Roy House. A couple of years ago at this time, it was booked well into spring.

McPherson Concrete still gets calls every week from people looking to build new silos. Construction in the Dakotas has been busy, and a lot of work is still going on in Nebraska, House said.

Slowed, but not stopped Interest for new grain storage in Kansas has slowed somewhat — but it is “nothing an inch and a half of rain wouldn’t take care of,” House quickly added.

Federally licensed grain elevators across the nation can now hold more than 5 billion bushels of grain, compared with 4.3 billion bushels in 2008, according to Farm Service Agency statistics. That does not account for the state-licensed facilities that comprise nearly half of the nation’s grain storage capacity.

“Certainly (the drought) is going to have an economic impact, but our industry, like all of agriculture in Kansas, has had some pretty good years so they are certainly not at the brink of bankruptcy,” said Tom Tunnell, executive director of the Kansas Feed and Grain Association, the industry’s trade organization.
