New engineering building boasts state-of-the-art testing facilities

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

As Kansas University associate engineering dean Glen Marotz gives a tour of the school’s new $23.6 million research building, he takes care to point out how every available dollar went into the new lab spaces.

The floors on the hallways are solid concrete,

and the unpainted walls and support columns are the same gray color. The ceiling isn’t tiled, exposing an array of pipes and electronic cables.

“We saved $70,000 by not putting in drop ceilings. We saved $55,000 by not tiling the floor,” Marotz said. “All that went right into the labs.”

Indeed, the labs are the focal point for the new

46,000-square-foot Measurement, Materials and Sustainable Environment Center (often abbreviated as M2SEC) just to the west of Eaton Hall.

“One of the goals is to make it look like an engineering building,” Marotz said. “The modern idea is to decorate as little as possible and have it function

Kansas higher-education officials are expressing concern over the increasing number of students attending for-profit colleges.

A recent national report based on a two-year investigation by the U.S. Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions OF committee al- BOARD REGENTS leged widespread problems in for-profit schools.

The report found: ! For-profit colleges received $30 billion per year in taxpayer funds. ! Most of the schools charge higher tuition than community colleges or public universities. ! Many of the schools use predatory and misleading tactics to recruit students. ! Graduate rates are extremely low. ! Many of the for-profit college chief executive officers are paid outlandish salaries.

“These practices are not the exception — they are the norm; they are systematic throughout the industry, with very few exceptions,” said U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, chairman of the committee.

The Association of Private Sector Colleges and Universities defended the colleges’ performance, accusing Harkin’s report of twisting facts Please see REGENTS, page 2A

KU CONVOCATION

Chancellor’s advice to new Jayhawks: Explore, but don’t wander too far off track

“in the tradition of ideology overriding reality.”

But at last week’s Kansas Board of Regents retreat, several board members wondered whether public higher education institutions were doing enough to recruit students who now are attending for-profit colleges.

Wichita State University President John Bardo, however, said many of the students going to for-profit schools would not be accepted by universities because the students don’t have an adequate academic background.

“Many of the students they are taking are needing remediation,” Bardo said.

But that brought a sharp response from Regents Chairman Ed McKechnie, of Arcadia. “They are potential customers, and taxpayers. If they don’t fit us, that’s not their problem, that’s our problem,” McKechnie said.

Several higher education officials said they would study the issue more and possibly contact some of the students who chose a for-profit school over a regents university or community college to see why they made that decision.

SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING ASSOCIATE DEAN GLEN MAROTZ tours a biofuels research lab in the new research facility, the Measurement, Materials and Sustainable Environment Center (M2SEC). This lab will be one of several that will examine the potential for biodiesel extracted from algae generated from both natural and controlled environments. The lab tables are movable with all electrical and other connections accessible in the ceiling.

Specialized areas A large anechoic (echofree) chamber in the building is not only soundproof, but also blocks out wireless signals. The space can be used to finetune the antennae on an unmanned aircraft used to measure the thickness of ice sheets in the Antarctic and Greenland.

Another lab focuses on fracture and fissure research, and features a “strong wall” area that’s constructed and supported separately from the rest of the building.

Holes line the floors, walls and ceiling of the space, through which hoses can be connected to a hydraulic pump below. Those hoses are then connected to a device designed to test how much stress a certain type of material like a large concrete beam can take before it breaks.

“This is a perfect environment for people who like to break big things,” Marotz said.

Susan Williams, an associate professor of chemical and petroleum engineering, will have one of the labs in the new space.

Her research focuses on finding alternative fuel production sources, and has led to the introduction of cooking oil as a means to fuel campus lawn mowers and other equipment.

Her current lab is a space in Burt Hall that’s very small, she said, compared to the new space in the M2SEC building.

The lab space in the new building includes an area to research fuel production, another area to test its chemical and physical properties, and an another area to burn the fuels in an engine, she said.

TO SAVE COSTS and to reveal the structure and workings of the building’s interior, no ceiling tiles were used in the new engineering facility. In addition, no tiling or carpet was used over the concrete flooring. Money saved was directed into additional lab materials. another area where it can be tested for the kinds of emissions it is producing.

All that took place in several areas of the engineering campus before, she said.

“What was not possible before, because of space and distance limitations, will now be possible for us and easy for us,” she said.

No classrooms The building will officially open on Oct. 12, though many of the labs are already functional and some faculty members are already using the new spaces. It is funded by a $12.3 million federal grant that was awarded to KU using federal stimulus dollars, along with matching funds from the university and private donors.

The structure itself even serves as an experiment in different places, as several of its wall panels can be removed and replaced with different

test materials. A meeting room on the first floor of the building is an exact replica of a meeting room on the second floor, so experiments can be conducted on window shades and other materials that may affect the temperature and other properties of the room.

The building isn’t designed for classrooms, and the only offices in the building will serve as the new home for KU’s Transportation Research Institute. The building does include a space for interaction with the general public. A space near the main entrance of the building will serve as an interactive presentation area to highlight some of the research that’s going on inside, Marotz said.

“If we’re designing a robot, you can run a robot,” he said.

BLACK JACK BATTLEFIELD

Riley County police investigating shooting JUNCTION CITY — Authorities in northeast Kansas are investigating a shooting that left one person dead and another critically wounded.

The Riley County police department says a suspect has been arrested in the shooting, which occurred early Saturday at a National Guard Armory.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that the incident had no ties to the military. Kansas National Guard spokeswoman Sharon Watson said the armory was rented out to a private group for an event Friday night and the Guard was not involved.

Police say 25-year-old Antonio Maxwell of Junction City was killed in the shooting, and 30-year-old Jamaica Chism was wounded. She’s also from Junction City.

Police also said they believe a number of people witnessed the shooting in the parking lot and are being asked to come forward with information.

Hays Opera House headed for demolition HAYS — Demolition work is scheduled to start this week on the historic Opera House in Hays.

Midland Wrecking Inc. will begin setting up traffic control around the historic building today. The Hays Daily News reports that crews expect to have the building demolished within about three days.

Wood and other miscellaneous debris will be hauled to the Ellis County landfill, but stone and concrete will go to a private salvage site.

The Opera House was built in the 1870s and is owned by a group that has restored many of the buildings in downtown Hays. But stones have fallen from the building recently, prompting the city to move forward with condemnation.

dam” across the top of the current dam, which is more than a century old.

The rubber dam can be inflated with the flip of a switch from Bowersock’s new plant.

The inflated dam will increase the height of the dam, allowing

more water to pool upstream. Most importantly, Bowersock leaders said, the device means their employees no longer will have to walk out on the dam to manually raise and lower plywood flashboards.

“This is a huge advance for us,” said Sarah Hill-Nelson, an owner of the Bowersock Mills and Power Co. “It is going to be so much safer.”

The rubber dam also should make it much easier to ensure the city of Lawrence, which has a water treatment plant just upstream of the dam,

will continue to have a deep mill pond from which to draw water.

The city last year agreed to largely pay for the $425,000 rubber dam project because of its benefits to the city’s water treatment plant.

Hill-Nelson said the power plant project has benefited from the dry weather and could start producing electricity in October.

“It is getting pretty exciting,” Hill-Nelson said.

Black Jack Battlefield and Nature Park is just one signature away from being designated a national historic landmark by the National Park Service.

The trust that runs the nearly 60-acre site near Baldwin City started the application process in 2009.

All that remains is the literal signoff from Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar.

Board member Kerry Altenbernd made a presentation to a committee in Washington, D.C., in May. That committee forwarded the application to another committee, this time in Denver. From there, it went back to the Department of the Interior.

Black Jack supporters have been patient — a needed trait in the bureaucratic waiting game.

“In May, we were told it would be six months,” Altenbernd said. “We have no idea if that’s a minimum or a maximum or what.”

The designation is the highest possible in the parks service. Altenbernd said getting it would give Black Jack better access to grants, increase heritage tourism and “show the importance of the site and get it the national recognition it deserves.”

KU LAW PROFESSOR Martin Dickinson, who specializes in tax issues, discusses problems he sees with a new state law cutting income taxes, during a news conference Thursday in Topeka.

By John Hanna Associated Press

Earlier this year, the Washington-based Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy concluded that the law would result in a small tax increase on average for Kansas residents earning less than $20,000 a year, while people earning more than $400,000 would receive the biggest percentage cut. Brownback called the analysis “wholly unfounded,” but the institute’s numbers generally tracked with Department of Revenue figures on the collective income tax changes for groups of taxpayers.

Still, Kansas Democratic Party Chairwoman Joan Wagnon acknowledged last week that critics’ arguments are more complicated than the simple and beguiling message that big income tax cuts will make the state more prosperous.

However, she and fellow Democrats have compelling reasons to make their pitch.

TOPEKA — Kansas Democrats are trying to reclaim the state’s Populist tradition, attacking conservative Republican tax-cutting policies in hopes of avoiding a wipeout in legislative races. They’re battling frustration in a GOP-leaning state with Democratic President Barack Obama.

Drive-in film festival comes to small Kansas town KANOPOLIS (AP) — A New York woman who has a passion for drive-in theaters is bringing an old-time event to Kansas, where patrons will be able to enjoy a small film festival with two independent films, carnival games and raffles.

The Kanopolis DriveIn will host the festival Saturday, as part of a nonprofit group’s effort to bring independent and classic films, along with more patrons, to drive-ins around the country. The group, called Drive-In Film Festival, has been organizing similar events for the past five years.

The group’s founder, C.C. Webster, said she’s driven by her fond memories of going to movies at drive-ins and sadness that many outdoor venues are closing because of financial trouble and the rise of the video industry, The Salina Journal reported.

“Indoor movie theaters are more like a church, a sanctuary where you have to be quiet,” said Webster,

ins and make it a fundraiser for the drive-in, to give them a boost.”

Webster has screened films at drive-ins in Michigan, New York State, New Jersey and Delaware.

The first film at the Kanopolis festival is the silent comedy classic “Safety Last,” starring comedian Harold Lloyd. The second, “Not Waving but Drowning,” is an independent film about two high school friends who go their separate ways during a summer.

Those films will be followed by two firstrun films that Kanopolis Drive-In owner Josh Webb has booked for the weekend, including “The Expendables 2.” Regular admission will be charged, with all profits going to the Kanopolis Drive-In. Webster’s expenses are paid through donations made through the website kickstarter.com, which is where Webb found out about Drive-In Film Festival.

Q:

I am planning on charging for swimming lessons in my backyard pool.

Are there legal or zoning restrictions against this?

And should I be concerned about additional traffic in my residential area?

A:

This answer was provided by Megan Gilliland, the city’s communications manager: Teaching swim lessons at a residence is permissible as a Type B Home Occupation. Section 20-537 of the Development Code outlines several standards for this type of home occupation, including: a maximum of 10 customers or clients may visit the site in a day; customers or clients may only visit between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.; and the occupation may only have one nonresident employee. Type B Home Occupations must receive a permit from the Planning and Development Services Department. Part of the application process includes notification to all property owners within 200 feet of the site. The application is available at lawrenceks.org/planning/ documents/form-typeBoccupation-checklist.pdf

Supreme Court to hear coal lawsuit TOPEKA (AP) — The Kansas Supreme Court this month will consider a challenge by environmental groups to a state permit for construction of a $1.5 billion coal-fired power plant in southwest Kansas.

The high court will hear oral arguments Aug. 31 in Topeka on the validity of the state permit issued in 2010 to start construction of the 895-megawatt plant near Holcomb, according to The Topeka Capital-Journal.

S i e r r a COURTS Club and Earthjustice contend in the lawsuit that the Kansas Department of Health and Environment improperly granted regulatory approval to the project, which they say is unnecessarily damaging to the environment. The organizations want the permit overturned.

Development partners Sunflower Electric Power Corp., of Hays, and Colorado-based Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association maintain that the state’s permit is sound.

The Sunflower project has been on indefinite hold. In January, a federal judge delayed the project until a federal environmental impact study could be completed.

Sunflower spokeswoman Cindy Hertel said the cooperative’s management would not comment before the state Supreme Court’s review. Sunflower serves 400,000 people in Kansas, but most of the new electricity would be transferred to other states.

Earthjustice attorney Amanda Goodin said the state negotiated the deal with Sunflower to break a political stalemate, which resulted in issuance of a KDHE permit that falls short of Kansas’ obligations under the federal Clean Air Act. She also said the final regulatory process was overly influenced by Sunflower executives.

Gov. Sam Brownback, a Republican, said he wouldn’t comment on the case.

“This is a matter for the court,” Brownback said.

Health groups renew push to ban smoking at casinos KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — Kansas City health advocates have started a new push to get smoking banned at area casinos, but it’s not going to be an easy fight in a competitive industry with lots of financial clout.

Clean Air Metro KC, a loose coalition of groups that include the American Cancer Society, American Lung Association of Kansas City and county health departments, wants all of metropolitan Kansas City to be smoke free.

The Kansas City Star reported that group members have been meeting with casino representatives and elected officials to urge them to support changes to state laws that allow smoking to continue on casino floors.

“I don’t think people realize casinos still allow smoking. We want to get it on the radar,” said Joyce Morrison, spokeswoman for Clean Air Metro KC. “Our message to casinos: Smoke-free casinos are inevitable. We want to be able to have a conversation with you instead of fighting it out in legislative hearings.”

The casino companies, however, have waged a furious fight to make their facilities one of the last bastions for public smoking in the Kansas City area.

When the Unified Government of Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kan., was discussing a smoking ban in 2008, a

company that was planning to build a casino at Kansas Speedway told government officials said such a ban would cause it to reconsider going forward with the project.

Then-Speedway President Jeff Boerger warned that banning smoking at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino — which was projected to generate about $19 million a year for the county government — would put it at a competitive disadvantage because casinos across the river in Kansas City, Mo., allow patrons to smoke.

County officials eventually approved the ban, but with an exclusion for casinos.

The Missouri casinos also put up stiff resistance when a smoking ban was making its way through local government. They pointed to sharp revenue drops in Illinois and Colorado after those states instituted smoking bans that included casinos in 2008.

Kansas City voters made bars and restaurants smoke-free that year, and a state law in Kansas did the same in 2010. Most municipalities in the metro area have similar rules, but the casinos are exempt.

As for voluntarily banning smoking, it’s not likely any of the casinos would take a chance when others don’t.

“We want a level playing field,” said Roxann Kinkade, corporate director of communications of

Ameristar, which has a large Kansas City casino.

“Until all the (gaming) floors are smoke-free, we will fight” to keep Ameristar open to smoking.

Local health advocates said some of the biggest victims of smoking in casinos are employees who are exposed to secondhand smoke every day.

Some casino workers have sued their employers, alleging that secondhand smoke was causing sore throats, dizziness, tightness in the chest and other symptoms. In Atlantic City, a nonsmoking former casino worker who claimed he got lung cancer because of exposure to smoke settled his suit against the casino for $4.5 million.

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health said it found that dealers studied at three Las Vegas casinos were three times as likely to have asthma symptoms as other adults in Nevada.

Assange urges U.S. to end WikiLeaks ‘witch hunt’

By David Stringer Associated Press

LONDON — WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange portrayed himself Sunday as a victim of an American “witch hunt” over his secret-spilling website in a defiant address from the balcony of an embassy where he has holed up to avoid extradition to face sex assault allegations.

Surrounded by British police who want to detain him, Assange made no mention of the sex assault case in Sweden or how long he would remain in Ecuador’s embassy in London, where he took refuge two months ago.

Instead he shifted focus to the U.S., accusing the government of targeting him for revealing a trove of American diplomatic and military secrets.

“I ask President Obama to do the right thing. The United States must renounce its witch hunt against WikiLeaks,” Assange said, wearing a formal blue shirt and red tie in front of the Ecuadorean flag.

“The United States must vow that it will not seek to prosecute our staff or our supporters,” he said, referring specifically to Pfc. Bradley Manning, who awaits trial in Virgin-

ia in the scandal.

The U.S. risks “dragging us all into a dark, repressive world in which journalists live under fear of prosecution,” Assange said Assange and his supporters claim the Swedish case is the first move of a Washington-orchestrated plot to make him stand trial in the U.S., which Swedish authorities dispute.

The White House declined comment Sunday,

WIKILEAKS FOUNDER JULIAN ASSANGE, top, makes a statement at a window of Ecuador’s embassy in London on Sunday.

Assange entered the embassy in June in an attempt to gain political asylum to prevent him from being extradited to Sweden, where he faces allegations of sex crimes, which he denies.

but on Saturday said Assange’s fate is an issue for Sweden, Britain and Ecuador to resolve.

Assange, a 41-year-old Australian citizen, shot to international prominence in 2010 when his WikiLeaks website began publishing its huge cache of American secrets, including 250,000 U.S. Embassy cables that highlighted sometimes embarrassing backroom dealings.

Congressman says he ‘misspoke’ about rape in interview ST. LOUIS (AP) — Missouri Congressman Todd Akin, the conservative Republican U.S. Senate candidate, quickly backed off comments that aired earlier Sunday, in Akin which he told an interviewer that a woman’s body “has ways” to prevent pregnancy during rape and that such pregnancies are “really rare.”

Akin, a six-term congressman running against incumbent Democrat Sen. Claire McCaskill, was asked in an interview that aired Sunday

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

on St. Louis television station KTVI if he would support abortions for women who have been raped.

“It seems to me first of all from what I understand from doctors that’s really rare,” Akin said. “If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down,” Akin said of a rape victim’s chances of becoming pregnant.

He also said he would prefer that punishment for rape be focused on the rapist and not “attacking the child.”

Akin said in an emailed statement later Sunday that he “misspoke” during the interview, though the statement did not say spe-

cifically which points.

“In reviewing my off-thecuff remarks, it’s clear that I misspoke in this interview and it does not reflect the deep empathy I hold for the thousands of women who are raped and abused every year,” Akin’s statement said. “Those who perpetrate these crimes are the lowest of the low in our society and their victims will have no stronger advocate in the Senate to help ensure they have the justice they deserve.”

Akin also said in the statement he believes “deeply in the protection of all life and I do not believe that harming another innocent victim is the right course of action.”

Department also was expected to encourage its vendors to speed up meat purchases in an effort to prop up prices with a glut on the market expected in the next few months.

Feed prices soared amid the drought, and livestock farmers have been selling off animals for months as they run out of money. The meat is expected to hit grocery stores this fall, with prices dropping briefly and then rising early next year.

Meanwhile, farmers are getting a fraction of what their animals would normally be worth at sales.

“It’s not like we can hold our products — like setting a shirt on a shelf until it sells for the price we set,” said Kristen Hassebrook, a spokeswoman for the Nebraska Cattlemen, a trade group. “We can’t just tell that steer or heifer to stop eating for a couple of days until the market share goes up. If we can’t feed that animal, we have to sell it for whatever the price is that day.”

The Obama administration also has offered lowinterest emergency loans, opened federal land for grazing and distributed $30 million to get water to livestock. Farmers say they’ll take what help they can get, but emergency loans come with a tangle of red tape and aren’t available to everyone. Water is appreciated, but animals need to eat, and even with grazing on some federal land, hay is in short supply.

Eggerling would normally graze his 100 head of cattle through September, but the drought has left his pastureland barren. He’s begun using hay he had planned to set aside for next year’s cattle, and is facing the reality that he will have to sell the cattle for slaughter early at a loss.

Social Security fixable; changes politically tough

By Stephen Ohlemacher Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Despite Social Security’s longterm problems, the massive retirement and disability program could be preserved for generations to come with modest but politically difficult changes to benefits or taxes, or a combination of both.

Some options could affect people quickly, such as increasing payroll taxes or reducing annual cost-of-living adjustments for those who already get benefits. Others options, such as gradually raising the retirement age, wouldn’t be felt for years but would affect millions of younger workers.

All of the options carry political risks because they have the potential to affect nearly every U.S. family while raising the ire of powerful interest groups.

But the sooner changes are made, the more subtle they can be because they can be phased in slowly.

Each year lawmakers wait, Social Security’s financial problems loom larger and the need for bigger changes becomes greater, according to an analysis by The Associated Press.

“Certainly, in the current environment, it would be very difficult to get changes made,” Social Security’s commissioner, Michael J. Astrue, said in an interview. “It doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t try. And

sometimes when you try hard things, surprising things happen.”

Social Security is Astrue ensnared in the same debate over taxes and spending that has gripped Washington for years. Liberal advocates and some Democrats say benefit cuts should be off the table. Conservative activists and some Republicans say tax increases are out of the question.

Others, including a deficit commission created by President Barack Obama in 2010, have called for a combination of tax increases and cuts to future benefits, including raising the retirement age again.

Janice Durflinger of Lincoln, Neb., is still working at age 76, running computer software programs for a bank. Still, she worries that a higher retirement age would be tough on people with more physically demanding jobs.

“No matter how much you exercise, age takes its toll,” Durflinger said.

But at 20, Jared Macher of Manalapan, N.J., worries that Social Security won’t be around for his generation without big changes.

“My generation sees Social Security as a tax, not an investment,” Macher said.

Social Security’s fi-

nances are being hit by a wave of demographics as millions of baby boomers reach retirement, leaving relatively fewer workers behind to pay into the system. About 56 million people get benefits today; that is projected to grow to 91 million in 2035.

For nearly three decades Social Security produced big surpluses, collecting more in taxes from workers than it paid in benefits to retirees, disabled workers, spouses and children.

But Social Security trustees project that the surplus, now valued at $2.7 trillion, will be gone in 2033. At that point, Social Security would only collect enough tax revenue each year to pay about 75 percent of benefits, unless Congress acts.

After the surplus is spent, the gap between scheduled benefits and projected tax revenue is big.

Social Security uses a 75-year window to forecast its finances, so the projections cover the life expectancy of every worker paying into the system. Once Social Security’s surplus is gone, the program is scheduled to pay out $134 trillion more in benefits than it will collect in taxes over the next 75 years, according to data from the agency. Adjusted for inflation, that’s $30.5 trillion in 2012 dollars.

steady in Cuba-Fla. record attempt

HAVANA (AP) — Endurance athlete Diana Nyad forged ahead through the Straits of Florida with renewed vigor Sunday in pursuit of a record 103mile, unassisted swim in open waters without the aid of a shark cage.

The 62-year-old Los Angeles woman was said to be comfortable, confident and steady at around 50 strokes per minute after a harrowing night of painful jellyfish encounters — despite an improved bodysuit that she had hoped would offer better protection.

Nyad was stung four times during the night on the neck, lips, hand and forehead, according to members of her 50-member crew who updated fans through social media.

Nearly 24 hours into the swim into the swim, she had traveled 23.9 miles from Havana. Choppy seas turned calm, and her team reported only a light wind.

Nyad had planned to don the bodysuit, which covers her from head to toe except for holes for the eyes, nose and mouth, at night, when jellyfish tend to rise to the surface. But it apparently did not work as well as anticipated.

At least two of the stings were from the dangerous box jellyfish, which forced her to cut short her second of two attempts last year as toxins built up in her system.

Nyad, who turns 63 Wednesday, is making her third attempt since last summer at a cage-less crossing of the Straits of Florida. She also made a failed try with a cage in 1978.

WASHINGTON — Don’t look for many bold pronouncements when Republicans and Democrats adopt party platforms at their national conventions.

Platforms are supposed to reflect the core values of the party and maybe provide some red meat to fire up the base, getting activists excited about supporting their presidential nominee. That’s what Democrats hope to do by embracing gay marriage in their platform, a position that President Barack Obama only recently has adopted.

But no candidate wants to provide political fodder for opponents by including something in the platform that might Obama turn off the sought-after undecided swing voters who could decide the election.

“You don’t want a sentence or paragraph or phrase from your platform to be used against you in an ad or in a speech as a wedge issue,” said Linda P. Schacht, a veteran of many Democratic conventions who worked on Jimmy Carter’s campaigns in 1976 and 1980.

That could present a challenge for Republican Mitt Romney, who will have to contend with supporters of Rep. Ron Paul at the GOP convention in Tampa, Fla., at month’s end.

Paul’s supporters are determined to make their mark on the convention, and the Texas congressman has pointed to the platform as a good way to do it.

“A lot of delegates who are pledged to vote for Romney are actually very strong supporters of ours and will be strongly supporting us when we want to put things into the platform to say, ‘Hey, we don’t need another war,’” Paul said in a recent broadcast interview.

“The Federal Reserve? Yes, we do need to audit the Fed,

2 flights make emergency landings N EWARK, N.J. — A second United flight departing New Jersey’s Newark Liberty International Airport in the last two days has had to make an emergency landing.

The Federal Aviation Administration says United Flight 409 bound for Seattle returned to the airport about 9:15 a.m. Sunday after reports of possible smoke in the cabin and cockpit.

A United spokesman says the flight crew noticed an unusual smell in the cockpit. No injuries were reported.

The emergency was the second in as many days. On Saturday night, a United flight to Germany had to return to the airport after experiencing engine problems.

On Sunday, the FAA said one of the engines on the Berlin-bound flight apparently overheated on takeoff. An agency spokeswoman says that contrary to published reports, the aircraft didn’t blow a tire during takeoff.

and we ought to really cut spending.”

The GOP platform committee meets today and Tuesday in Tampa, ahead of the start of the convention Aug. 27.

Romney will have enough delegates to win any battle over the platform. But if Paul’s supporters aren’t placated, they could Romney become an unwanted distraction, forcing public debates over foreign policy and the fight against terrorism at a time when Romney would rather focus on the struggling economy and his efforts to defeat Obama.

Many of Paul’s libertarian views dovetail nicely with mainstream Republican ideas on limited government and low taxes.

But Paul breaks with much of his party when he rails against American intervention abroad, calling the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan illegal because Congress never passed a declaration of war.

Paul also calls for abolishing the Federal Reserve and repealing the Patriot Act, legislation enacted after the Sept. 11 attacks to give law enforcement more tools to fight terrorism.

Don’t look for any of those positions in this year’s Republican platform. But party leaders could make some concessions, perhaps agreeing to a plank that calls for an audit of the Fed or a broad statement that calls for respecting civil liberties in the fight against terrorism.

Anniversary plan The 150th anniversary of Quantrill’s Raid is a significant event for Lawrence, and it’s time to get the planning started.

T

uesday will mark the 149th anniversary of one of the most notable events in Lawrence history: Quantrill’s Raid.

Also on Tuesday, the Lawrence City Commission is expected to approve the creation of an advisory committee to plan how to commemorate the 150th anniversary of that notorious raid. A year is not too much time to plan an appropriate remembrance.

The raid that killed 180 Lawrence men and boys certainly is nothing to celebrate, but it was a pivotal event for Lawrence and a part of a significant border war history leading up to the Civil War. That history is attracting more attention in recent years, and the 150th anniversary is a wonderful opportunity to share that story with both local residents and visitors to the community.

The resolution on the commission’s consent agenda calls for the creation of a committee with nine Douglas County residents who represent a broad range of interests and an understanding of local history. The group will be charged with making recommendations to the city concerning a schedule of events for the Quantrill anniversary.

Groups like the Douglas County Historical Society and Freedom’s Frontier National Heritage already have been gearing up for this anniversary and should play a role in the city’s overall planning. Historical groups in other parts of the county are focused on various stories related to the raid and need to be included. Perhaps one of the greatest challenges will be to schedule and coordinate the many activities that are likely to be part of this commemoration.

Another challenge, of course, will be to strike the right tone for the anniversary, something that both mourns and respects those who died and celebrates those who survived and rebuilt Lawrence from the ashes. In many ways, the resilience and entrepreneurial spirit of those survivors has determined the kind of city Lawrence is today.

Some sort of tangible and lasting tribute — a piece of art or a dedicated space — would be a good way to commemorate the anniversary, but using the occasion to share the story of Quantrill’s Raid and the events that surrounded that raid also could be a way to inspire local residents and build pride in our community and its significant history.

The city’s advisory committee is a good way to get the ball rolling toward a commemoration that will have a lasting legacy for Lawrence.

Romney in trouble with Hispanics Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney was already polling at historically low numbers among Hispanic voters before his decision to name Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan as his running mate.

Now, Romney risks a total debacle among Hispanic voters that could cost him the election.

There are five major reasons Ryan, a darling of the tea party who is known for his budget-cutting proposals and hard-line stands on immigration in recent years, will have a hard time helping Romney solve his Latino vote problem.

First, Ryan is not Marco Rubio, the Spanish-speaking Cuban-American senator from Florida, nor Rob Portman, the Ohio senator and former U.S. trade representative who also speaks fluent Spanish and was on Romney’s short list for vice-presidential nominee.

Either Rubio or Portman could have helped Romney win key swing states that will be crucial to win the November elections and could have campaigned nationwide speaking in Spanish to Latino audiences. Ryan, who comes from a state with only 5 percent of Latino voters, has zero connection with Hispanic voters.

While the Romney campaign has announced that it will give Republican Hispanic stars such as Rubio stellar roles at the Republican convention

Andres Oppenheimer aoppenheimer@miamiherald.com

“

Ryan, who comes from a state with only 5 percent of Latino voters, has zero connection with Hispanic voters.” in Tampa, Romney is in deep trouble with Hispanics.

According to a June Gallup poll of Latino voters, President Obama was already beating Romney 66 percent to 25 percent among registered Latino voters. That’s the lowest any Republican candidate has polled among Hispanics in 16 years.

Former Republican candidate Sen. John McCain won 31 percent of the Hispanic vote in 2008, and former President George W. Bush won 40 percent in 2004.

Second, although most Hispanic voters are young and don’t care that much about health care, the Obama campaign ads depicting Ryan as a ruthless budget cutter who would slash Medicare

and Medicaid is likely to hurt the Republican ticket among Hispanics in Florida, which has a huge population of Hispanic senior citizens. Third, unlike Republican moderates, Ryan strongly opposes a path to legal residence for the estimated 11 million undocumented U.S. residents. Most Hispanics support a path to citizenship for undocumented residents who have long lived in this country and have no criminal records.

“I do not support amnesty for the millions of illegal immigrants already living in the United States,” Ryan says on his congressional website. He does not elaborate on what he would do about them, which suggests he may support Romney’s formula of “self-deportation,” a proposal that Latino leaders say amounts to making the life of undocumented residents so miserable that they would leave voluntarily.

Fourth, Ryan has opposed the DREAM Act, a bill overwhelmingly supported by Hispanics — and many nonLatinos, too — that calls for giving a path to residency to up to 1.7 million young undocumented students who were brought to the United States as infants and raised in this country.

Many of them don’t even speak the language of their native countries. While most of them were recently granted de facto temporary residency by Obama, their legal status re-

mains in limbo in the long run.

Fifth, Ryan voted in 2005 in support of the Sensenbrenner bill, sponsored by fellow Wisconsin Republican Rep. James Sensenbrenner. Critics described the bill as the most draconian anti-immigration proposal ever. It passed the House, but died in the Senate.

Romney campaign officials say none of this will matter much on Election Day, because Hispanics’ main concern will be the economy — an area where they hope Romney will enjoy a huge advantage.

In addition, they say that nationwide polls of Hispanics won’t mean much, because the election will be decided in a handful of swing states, such as Florida, Ohio and Colorado, where Romney polls better among Hispanics than in Democraticcontrolled states with huge Hispanic populations such as California or New York.

My opinion: Romney’s pick for vice-presidential nominee, coming shortly after Romney’s foreign policy tour in which he traveled to Europe and Israel without even making a symbolic stop in Mexico, will make a bad situation worse for the Republican campaign. It suggests that Romney has thrown in the towel on the Hispanic vote. That may turn out to be the biggest mistake of his campaign — and a godsend for Obama.

Brown’s dark sexual legacy When women complain about men who can’t commit, they can thank — or blame — two people: Playboy magazine publisher Hugh Hefner and the former editor of Cosmopolitan magazine, Helen Gurley Brown, who died this week at age 90.

Brown was the flip side of Hefner, offering women permission, even encouragement, to embrace a female version of Hefner’s freewheeling “Playboy philosophy” of unrestrained sexual pleasure.

Brown and Hefner offered one-way tickets to fantasyland, a journey supposedly without cost to a destination seemingly without consequences.

I confess to pausing at the supermarket checkout each month to read Cosmo’s enticing headlines and to notice the cleavage of the “cover girl” — both Brown’s signature. It is something like slowing down to view a multi-car pileup. Yet the “damage” Brown’s philosophy of sexual liberation caused (or reflected) is far more severe.

In any revolution — political, or the sexual one championed by those like Hefner and Brown — there are casualties. No one wants to talk about the casualties of the sexual revolution because that wouldn’t sell magazines or seduce a new generation of young people. Sex sells, but it also brings misery when it’s misused.

There was a time when words served a purpose.

Some were once used to discourage bad behavior that

Cal Thomas tmseditors@tribune.com

was thought to be harmful to individuals who practice it and to societies that tolerate it. “Fornicator” was one.

We changed the word so as to appear less “judgmental,” but the behavior that word describes didn’t change.

“Sexually active” is now the preferred phrase that describes what the word used to. It seems more tolerant and that’s the problem.

I recall reading an interview in the 1970s with Xaviera Hollander, who was promoting her memoir “The Happy Hooker.” As I remember it, the interviewer asked Hollander a penetrating question, the gist of which went something like this: What’s the difference between you and what used to be called a “tramp”? Hollander’s answer didn’t matter. The question answered itself. This was before “anything goes” replaced self-control as a worthy goal.

Just as there are laws in nature which, if violated, bring repercussions, so, too, are their moral laws which, when violated, cause physical, emotional, social and spiritual consequences. It is one reason we have preach-

ers to remind us of such things, but fewer of us listen to them and suffer as a result.

Katherine Kerstin, chairman of the Center of the American Experiment in Minneapolis and a commentator for National Public Radio’s “All Things Considered,” wrote about Brown’s “seductive philosophy” of unfettered freedom in 1997 for the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. It has a catch, she wrote: “For if ‘freedom’ is women’s birthright, it is also men’s. And as the last inhibition bites the dust, women are finding they don’t much like some of the things men do when released from social constraints and expectations. The result? A new breed of ‘Thou shalt nots’ — from sexual harassment policies in the workplace (‘No compliments on hair or dress, if you know what’s good for you’), to the mandatory ‘date rape’ seminars that greet unsuspecting college freshmen.”

Having abandoned a code of conduct that has served humanity well for millennia, Brown and her followers were forced to write a new code to deal with the predictable result of bad male behavior that previous constraints had worked well to limit. Men wanted their cake “and Edith, too,” to paraphrase a country song and women didn’t like the end result.

Brown sowed the wind, to borrow a biblical phrase, and millions of women who ingested her poison continue to reap the whirlwind. What a legacy.

— Cal Thomas is a columnist for Tribune Media Services.

To the editor: Upon reading the recent article in the Journal-World detailing former police chief Olin’s encounter with the police department after he discharged a firearm within city limits no less than five times, I couldn’t help but question what role Olin’s prominent past played in how this situation was handled or, shall I say, ignored. Regardless of what medical problems Olin faced/faces or how much credible evidence demonstrates that his actions were the product of a medicinal reaction, I have to wonder how many shots I could discharge within city limits without receiving as much as a ticket?

Whether this special treatment truly exists or is only perceived, for the Lawrence Police Department, the timing of this couldn’t be worse.

With half the public still harboring distaste at the ticketfixing scandal, and the other half displeased with the massive multimillion-dollar taxfunded expansion request amidst the worst recession we’ve seen in 70 years, this latest negative publicity will just get added to the pile.

As an outsider viewing all of this, I’m reminded of a saying a very wise mentor of mine imparted upon me once: “In this life we make our own luck.” Perhaps when the Lawrence Police Department grows tired of their negative public image, they will begin to take a course of action that serves to remedy that.

Matthew Herbert, Lawrence

Freshman Doyle won’t play basketball for KU

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Milton Doyle will not be attending Kansas University on basketball scholarship after all, Doyle’s mom, Lisa Green, told the JournalWorld on Sunday night.

Doyle, who averaged 19 points, seven rebounds, five assists and five steals a game

Wilt’s family protests movie

his senior year at Chicago’s Marshall High School, attended summer school classes at KU after signing a financialaid agreement. He made the trip to Europe as a member of the Jayhawk team.

“It’s nothing bad about the school or the coaches or anything. Sometimes things happen for a reason,” Green said Sunday from her home

in Chicago. She said the decision was reached Sunday, the day before the start of KU’s first semester.

She had no further comment on the matter.

KU coach Bill Self said he had no comment as of Sunday night, indicating he’d probably have something to report today.

Doyle averaged 2.3 points

a game with five turnovers against no assists in four games on the European tour — two games versus the Swiss National Team and two against a pair of French pro teams.

Doyle originally had committed to play for Florida International, but reopened his recruiting last spring when FIU coach Isiah Thomas

was fired. Doyle was cleared academically through the NCAA Clearinghouse in late July, making possible his attending KU on scholarship.

Doyle’s mom said she did not know what school her son would attend. She also told chicagohoops.com Sunday that her son would not be attending KU and would be looking for a school.

Family matters

By Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Barbara O. ChamberlainLewis has written letters that essentially scream “cut!” on local filmmaker Kevin Willmott’s “Jayhawkers,” but the command has fallen on deaf ears.

Acting on behalf of the Chamberlain family, Chamberlain-Lewis has told Willmott that he does not have the rights to the film, but Willmott said his entertainment lawyers have told him otherwise.

“There’s an issue with her, but it’s not an issue with us,” Willmott said.

The two parties first discussed doing a film on Wilt Chamberlain’s Kansas years in 2003 and had entered into a contractual agreement in which Willmott would pay $150,000 for the rights to do the film, according to both sides of the dispute. Willmott made one $10,000 payment and then on Oct. 4, 2006, made another payment of $10,000 in Willmott exchange for the contract being extended 24 months.

Six days after that extension expired, attorney Seymour S. Goldberg informed Willmott and Rick Cowan of Big Dipper, LLC in a letter, “your option to proceed with this project has expired without you or your organization fulfilling all of the obligations spelled out in the Option/ Purchase Agreement. At this point, it does not seem reasonable to extend your option since no tangible evidence of substantial progress has been demonstrated to my client.”

Last spring, Willmott phoned Chamberlain-Lewis to inform her he was interested in doing a film with a different script from the original one she had read.

Chamberlain-Lewis said she told Willmott she was pretty sure the family would not be interested but would think about it and get back to him in a letter.

She responded to Willmott in a letter dated April 2, 2012, which, in part, stated: “This letter is in follow-up to your recent telephone call to me to reconsider the option to produce The Wilt Chamberlain/University of Kansas Life Story. Kevin, after research, prayer and discussion with family and friends, it has been decided that we will not consider any future interest in this venture.”

Willmott did not respond.

After reading in the July 1 edition of the Journal-World the news that Kansas University basketball player Justin Wesley had been selected to play Wilt in the film, Chamberlain-Lewis wrote another letter to Willmott dated July 12.

MAURA WEIS, WIFE OF KANSAS UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL COACH CHARLIE WEIS, RIGHT, SPEAKS TO A GROUP Friday in Topeka. Weis spoke — at a TOP Soccer event for young soccer players with special needs — on behalf of the Weises’ foundation Hannah & Friends.

Health scare led to Weises’ charity

By Matt Tait

HOW TO HELP

mtait@ljworld.com

When Charlie Weis nearly died, hundreds of people got the chance truly to live.

In June of 2002, Kansas University football coach Charlie Weis, then an assistant with the New England Patriots, lay in a hospital bed in great pain and grave danger.

At his bedside was his wife, Maura; a Catholic priest walked into the room.

“She was watching me almost die,” Weis recalled of Maura and the time when complications from gastricbypass surgery nearly killed him. “She saw me getting last rites. The doctor came out and said I was done.”

At the time, Weis was just months removed from his first Super Bowl title with the Patriots and widely considered one of the top assistants in football.

There was a time such standing would have been all that mattered to the man who called himself the ultimate one-upper.

“I think I rode across the Delaware (River) before George Washington,” he said.

“I was that guy.”

But after his health scare, which included a two-week coma, a moment of clarity changed everything.

“That next spring, my wife said to me, ‘You know, you could’ve died, and we never would’ve done any good for

Maura’s words hit Weis like a raging linebacker.

Sure, the Weises had done right by their daughter, Hannah, who as an infant struggled with developmental delays and at age 12 was diagnosed with Electrical Status Epilepticus of slow wave sleep, a rare epilepsy syndrome that affects cognitive function.

But giving Hannah the best care was a no-brainer. Helping others, Maura believed, would reveal her family’s true character.

“We always dreamed about when he became a head coach and how we would do something really good for people,”

Maura said. “God gives you blessings, and you have to give back.”

After some reflection, Weis and his wife decided to act.

In the summer of 2003, Hannah & Friends, a not-for-profit charity dedicated to improving the quality of life for people like Hannah, opened.

“It was kind of a slap in the face,” Weis said of his wife’s words. “But a lot of good came out of that conversation.

Credit Maura for saying it to me. The only credit I get is for actually listening to her.”

MLB: Cabrera faked appeals evidence NEW YORK (AP) — An associate of San Francisco Giants AllStar Melky Cabrera purchased a website and attempted to create evidence to support a claim that the outfielder inadvertently took the substance that caused a positive drug test, Major League Baseball said.

Baseball officials uncovered the scheme as Cabrera prepared his case to challenge the test.

Cabrera’s grievance then was dropped, and MLB announced a 50-game suspension Wednesday.

The New York Daily News first reported on the scheme Sunday.

A team of six-to-seven investigators from MLB spent several weeks working to uncover the plan, a baseball official familiar with the probe told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because MLB didn’t authorize anyone to discuss the matter publicly.

It’s the first such case MLB has had and officials hope that

uncovering the scheme will discourage similar attempts.

The person said baseball had referred the case to federal investigators.

A second baseball official, also speaking on condition of anonymity, said additional discipline against Cabrera was unlikely.

Cabrera, MVP of the AllStar game last month, tested positive for testosterone, MLB said.

The person said Juan Nunez, who works Cabrera with Cabrera’s agents, purchased an existing website and attempted to alter it in a manner that would allow Cabrera to claim the positive test was caused by a substance obtained through the website.

The News reported Nunez paid $10,000 for the website. “If you create a new website, you would know when the website was created,� the baseball

official said. “At least they were smart enough to buy an existing website.�

The baseball official said MLB investigators were able to use their forensic resources to trace the website back to Nunez.

Cabrera is represented by brothers Sam and Seth Levinson of ACES, a sports management company based in Brooklyn. The Levinsons, who did not respond to messages Sunday, told the Daily News that Nunez was a “paid consultant� of their agency. “The MLBPA has clearly stated that ACES has no connection to the website or this matter and, as reported, Juan Nunez has taken full responsibility for his acts,� Seth Levinson told The Associated Press. “There is nothing more we can add and we will allow our reputation in the industry for 27 years to speak for itself.�

The second baseball official said MLB intends to ask the Major League Baseball Players Association, which regulates

agents, to follow up on the situation at ACES. Cabrera was enjoying the best season of his big league career, helping the Giants contend for a postseason berth. He was hitting .346 with 11 homers and 60 RBIs, but will miss the rest of the regular season and the start of the playoffs, if the Giants advance that far.

A former member of the New York Yankees, Atlanta Braves and Kansas City Royals, Cabrera is eligible for free agency after the World Series.

San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy declined to discuss the allegations against Cabrera before the Giants played the Padres in San Diego. He didn’t defend his player’s actions, either. “You can be world-class parents and your kids can go south or have some issues. We can’t follow guys 24/7, and it comes down to choices. (Cabrera) is a grown man, he’s a veteran,�

Bochy said. “These are unfortunate things and we’ll continue to work at cleaning out baseball.�

PGA Wyndham Championship GREENSBORO, N.C. — It’s been four years since Sergio Garcia’s last PGA Tour victory. He’ll have to wait one more day before he can try to finish this one off.

And a downpour at the Wyndham Championship meant another day of uncertainty for others on the playoff bubble.

Garcia had the lead at 15 under through four holes Sunday when the final round in the last event before the FedEx Cup playoffs was suspended for the day because of heavy rain.

Tim Clark, Jason Dufner and Bud Cauley were 14 under through varying stages of their rounds, and 38 players — half the field — were still on the course when play was stopped.

After waiting roughly 2 hours, 20 minutes, officials decided to bring them back to Sedgefield Country Club at 9 a.m. today to crown a champion and figure out who qualifies for the playoffs and who doesn’t. It will be the first Monday finish in Greensboro since 1983.

Federer dominates Djokovic for fifth Cincy title MASON, OHIO — Top-ranked Roger Federer has won a record fifth Cincinnati title, dominating second-ranked Novak Djokovic 6-0, 7-6 (7) for the Western & Southern Open championship.

It was the first time in the tournament’s history that the top two in the world played for the title. Right from the start Sunday, it was no match.

The Swiss star won the first set in only 20 minutes, allowing Djokovic to win just 10 points.

The Serb never recovered, snapping his streak of 15 straight victories on hard courts.

Federer improved to 5-0 in Cincinnati finals and tied Rafael Nadal for the most Masters titles with 21. Nadal dropped out of the tournament with a sore knee that has sidelined him indefinitely.

Li rallies for Cincinnati title

The pick hardly rattled Luck, who led the Colts to scores on three of their next four drives. By the time he left, Indianapolis (No. 32 in the AP Pro32) held a 17-14 at the break.

Rookie Danny Hrapmann kicked four secondhalf field goals for the Steelers, including the 22-yard winner with 23 seconds remaining.

Chiefs S Lewis out indefinitely KANSAS CITY, MO. — The Chiefs’ depth in the defensive backfield is already being tested.

Starting safety Kendrick Lewis is out because of a right shoulder injury he sustained early in the Chiefs’ preseason loss to the St. Louis Rams on Saturday night. Lewis was helping to make a tackle when he appeared to hurt his shoulder, and he immediately left the game.

His right arm was in a sling after the Chiefs’ 3117 loss, and Kansas City coach Romeo Crennel said Sunday that Lewis will miss “a bit of time,� but said the two-year starter is not considered a candidate for injured reserve.

MASON, OHIO — China’s Li Na won her first title of the season, overcoming an awful first set to beat Germany’s Angelique Kerber on Sunday in the Western & Southern Open final.

Weis CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

While she forever will be grateful for the support of their friends and former players, Maura said Charlie made Hannah & Friends soar.

“Those players love my husband, and they come back for Charlie,” she said.

“He is the charity.”

And then there’s Charlie Weis Jr., Hannah’s 19-yearold big brother who hopes to follow in his father’s footsteps on the field and also has chosen to follow his father in philanthropy.

He keeps a journal on the Hannah & Friends website and spends hours at the facility in South Bend, Ind., doing the same things he does with his friends away from it. There are two sports-crazed residents with whom Charlie Jr. likes to play basketball, and he also DJs the dances, helps organize karaoke and Bingo nights and offers an ear to listen or a hand to hold for the people there who crave little more than human interaction.

The bond between Hannah and Charlie Jr. is special, and Maura said the family never treated Hannah with the delicacy of a porcelain doll.

“It’s still just like any other brother-sister relationship,” Charlie Jr. said.

“We get mad at each other. We split hairs for occupying the basement. She frustrates me. I’m sure I frustrate her, too. But I love her, and I do think she loves me a lot.”

Maura remembers her son understanding the challenges Hannah faced as early as age 4.

“He’s kind of been on this whole journey with us,” she said.

Charlie Jr. remembers, too.

“I just remember thinking I would switch places with Hannah at any second to give her a normal life,” he said.

For Charlie Jr., Hannah is his normal, and he prefers to use the phrase “different abilities” instead of “special needs” when he talks about her.

It’s not that the latter is offensive, he said, just that the former paints a more accurate picture.

“I’ve learned more about life from Hannah than I have from anyone else in the entire world,” he said. “And most kids like Hannah have that same ability.”

Hannah, the muse The inspiration behind all of this will turn 18 next April and the following summer will move from her home in Florida to the Hannah & Friends property.

For now, Maura still does the day-to-day stuff to take care of Hannah, and there are times, she said, when it’s as if Hannah understands exactly what’s happening.

“She’ll look in my face

Its final two paragraphs: “Please be advised that on December 21, 2001, the court approved that the Chamberlain Family are entitled to ‘all of the rights, titles and interests into the intellectual property and rights of publicity associated with the international sports celebrity in the name and likeness of Wilton Norman Chamberlain.’

“Kevin, therefore, I request on behalf of my family, and as outlined in our above-mentioned letters, that you do not violate these rights by pursuing the name and likeness of Wilt since you do not have permission from our family.”

Reached at the Las Vegas home she shares with husband Elzie Lewis, Chamberlain-Lewis said, “What shocks me is back in 2003 Kevin was so respectful of the rights we have.

I’m so disappointed he has

and say, ‘Thank you,’” Maura said.

Every moment of gratitude is moving for Maura because it gives her the comfort of knowing her daughter is with her.

“To me, that’s like, ‘Wow,’” Maura said. “Because she doesn’t say it every time, so, when she does, it’s almost like a spiritual experience. She gets it.”

Much like any parent preparing for a child to leave home, Maura already is emotional about the time when her “best friend” will move on to the next phase of her life.

“I’m cherishing every day,” Maura said. “It’s gonna be hard, but I think she’ll be happy. She just has me now, and it’s boring for her if she’s not doing something. But there, she’ll have a life.”

That life will include everything from movie night and dancing to yoga and cooking classes.

Those already there, such as 27-year-old Tiffani Amberg, say it’s like being at Disneyland every day.

“My favorite part of being here is getting to know everyone and learning how to do all the things we love to do here together,” said Tiffani, who has Down syndrome and does a mean version of Tina Turner’s “Proud Mary” on karaoke nights. “I think of it as my home.”

Kansas soccer falls in OT

Special and serene That was the goal from the beginning, to create a neighborhood where people of different abilities can live in joy. Those who have seen the place say the Weis family surpassed their hopes.

“It’s got that serenetype feeling, like this little village almost,” said Peter Schivarelli, a former Notre Dame defensive lineman and current manager for the band Chicago.

Schivarelli’s involvement with Hannah & Friends began about eight years ago.

Originally moved to act by a rare illness that struck three grandchildren of his college coach, Ara Parseghian, Schivarelli and Chicago cranked it up a notch when they met Weis.

For years, 50 cents from every concert ticket Chicago sold went to Parseghian’s foundation.

That’s up to a dollar now, with half going to Parseghian and half going to Hannah & Friends. Considering the band is in its 45th year touring, that’s not exactly chump change.

But Schivarelli has done more. There’s a house on the Hannah & Friends grounds that proudly displays his and the band’s name, and every year he sends steaks and holiday gifts to those who live in the home he helped create.

“Once they go and meet these people that live there, it becomes real for them,” Maura said. “They see the need and they see

that the money is going directly to the people who need it.”

That’s exactly what inspired Schivarelli, and he makes it a point to visit the 30-acre farm every time he’s back in town for a Fighting Irish football game.

“After being in front of 20,000 screaming people, it’s nice to go to a place like that,” he said. “I know a lot of deep thought went into it, and I think it accurately portrays what they J-W Staff Reports wanted to create and who Northwestern sophothey are as people.

“It’s pretty much exactly what we wanted,” Maura said of Hannah & Friends. “Just a place where people with different abilities can live and hang out in peace, and their families can come, and they don’t have to worry about people staring at them or being mean to them.”

Added Schivarelli: “I’m sure if Charlie and Maura could make it big enough where they could house every special-needs person in the world, they’d do it in a second. But for the ones who are getting the care, you feel real good for them. They’ve really tried to give them as much of a regular life as anyone could.”

completely ignored his lack of rights to do this.”

Willmott said the change in the script brought about the change of his viewpoint on the rights to making the film.

“Our entertainment lawyer told us we didn’t need the rights,” he said.

“It’s an ensemble film.

Wilt’s not the main character, so it’s no longer necessary to buy the rights.”

Willmott said former Kansas Chancellor Franklin Murphy and legendary former KU coach Phog Allen are the film’s main characters, and Wilt’s KU coach, Dick Harp, and jazz musician Nathan Davis are major characters as well. Willmott characterized the film as a story of the role Wilt, Murphy and Allen played in integrating Lawrence.

“This is about Wilt’s time at KU, and KU owns the rights to the story, and the Allen family, and the Allen family is working with us,” Willmott said. “... I’m a professor at KU. This is KU history. This is Lawrence history. This

is not Wilt’s life story.

This is a much wider, bigger story than the bio pic.

This is probably the movie we always should have been making.”

In her July 12 letter to Willmott, ChamberlainLewis wrote, “I think we both know that the main character and focus in this proposed movie will be Wilt.”

Asked on the phone if she would pursue legal action to stop the making of the film, ChamberlainLewis said, “I’ve already tried to stop him with sending the letter.”

The original bio picture, Willmott said, originally had a $12 million budget, but he was unable to raise the money for it, even after trimming the budget to $5 million. He said he hopes that a minimum of $250,000 can be raised for the making of “Jayhawkers.”

“It’s going incredibly well,” Willmott said of the filming and the fundraising. He also said “everybody’s very impressed” with the work Wesley is doing.

KANSAS CITY OUTFIELDERS LORENZO CAIN (6), JEFF FRANCOEUR (21) and Alex Gordon celebrate a 5-2 victory over the White Sox on Sunday in Kansas City, Mo.

Royals get sweep of Sox KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — Jeremy Guthrie was working on a no-hitter before one well-placed grounder was ruled a base hit. Then he had to settle for a nodecision.

At least his team won.

Guthrie pitched into the eighth inning in another dominant outing and Salvador Perez drove in three runs as the Kansas City Royals beat the Chicago White Sox, 5-2, on Sunday to complete a three-game series sweep of the AL Central leaders.

Paul Konerko reached on an infield single with two out in the seventh for Chicago’s first hit. Shortstop Alcides Escobar fielded Konerko’s grounder on the outfield grass and his one-hop throw was dropped by first baseman Eric Hosmer.

“That’s an error,” Royals right fielder Jeff Francoeur said. “That’s all you can say about it. No disrespect to Pauly, but he’s not the fastest guy in America.

He’ll tell you that. To me you’ve got to flash error up right away.

NATIONAL LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Pirates outlast Cards in 19 ————

Pittsburgh’s Alvarez homers to cap 6-hour game The Associated Press

Pirates 6, Cardinals 3, 19 innings ST. LOUIS — Pedro Alvarez homered in the 19th inning, and Pittsburgh won the longest game in the majors this season, outlasting St. Louis on Sunday.

It took 6 hours, 7 minutes to finish. Both teams scored a run in the 17th, and each club used eight pitchers.

Alvarez hit his 23rd homer, a solo shot off Barret Browning (1-3). Andrew McCutchen added a two-run single later in the inning.

Wandy Rodriguez (812), who was set to start for the Pirates tonight at San Diego, got the win with two scoreless innings of relief.

This was the longest game by innings in the big leagues this year.

AMERICAN LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Rays complete sweep of Angels The Associated Press

Rays 8, Angels 3 ANAHEIM, CALIF. — Matt Moore shrugged off home runs by Mike Trout and Albert Pujols to win his fourth straight decision, and the Rays completed a four-game sweep of the fading Angels with a victory on Sunday.

Tampa Bay tagged Zack Greinke (1-2) and outscored the Angels 37-14 in the series — the Rays set a team record for runs in a four-game set, erupting right after Seattle’s Felix Hernandez pitched a perfect game against them.

Ryan Roberts hit a tworun homer and Matt Joyce and Carlos Pena also drove in two runs apiece for the Rays.

The Angels lost for the 13th time in 18 games overall.

Dear Annie: I am a single mother of six children, the youngest of whom is 12. I divorced their father 10 years ago. I don’t have any issues with my ex’s financial responsibilities.

It is visitation that is the problem.

Although he’s never been one to phone the kids, he used to see them every other weekend and had them for a week’s time twice a year.

Three years ago, he married a woman with no kids, and that’s when visitation became less frequent. Last year, he and his wife had a baby, and they moved 100 miles away into a twobedroom apartment.

When he does have our four minor kids, he arranges a hotel stay.

My ex is a consultant and is between jobs. He informed me that he cannot afford the hotels now, so visitation is on hiatus.

Then he took a weeklong beach vacation.

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell anniesmailbox@comcast.net

My kids don’t appear to think there is anything wrong with his behavior. I think it is abhorrent, but have never said anything to the kids because I don’t want them to resent their father. But I also don’t want my children, especially my sons, to think that if a marriage doesn’t work out, parenting is optional.

I get that my ex is completely smitten with his baby, which is fine.

But why should he ignore his other children?

Do I talk to them about

Journalists captured in ‘Locked Up’ Many of the folks featured on “Locked Up Abroad” (9 p.m., National Geographic) are the authors of their own misfortunes.

They apparently were born without that inner voice that tells most people not to smuggle drugs into Turkey or Thailand, or to accept mysterious luggage from strangers. It’s easy to pity them for their suffering, but it’s harder to sympathize with their actions or motivations.

The subjects in tonight’s episode, titled “Nightmare in Somalia,” are different. Australian photographer Nigel Brennan and Canadian reporter Amanda Lindhout traveled to Somalia in 2008 to report on that nation’s continuing conflict. On their way to document conditions in a refugee camp, they were kidnapped by armed bandits. Although the journalists’ captors forced them to convert to Islam, the kidnappers’ motivations were neither religious nor political, but economic: They wanted more than a million dollars in ransom.

“Nightmare” does an effective job of evoking the paranoia and indignities of the situation.

It recalls Brennan’s frequent resentment of his fellow journalist.

The awkward fact that the two victims didn’t always like each other adds a touch of realism to this harrowing account.

Despite their differences, the two captives managed to escape from their cells. They were recaptured and faced an even more gruesome form of incarceration, all before being freed well over a year after their capture.

Tonight’s other highlights

Anna Friel and Marc Warren star in the miniseries “What to Do When Someone Dies” (7 p.m., Ovation), airing Monday nights through Sept. 3.

A difficult “Nutcracker” to crack on the season finale of “Bunheads” (8 p.m., ABC Family).

Raydor tries to win over the staff on “Major Crimes” (8 p.m., TNT).

Juliette’s illness is explained on “Grimm” (9 p.m., NBC).

Things become clear on the finale of “The Glass House” (9 p.m., ABC).

A therapist’s last session on “Perception” (9 p.m., TNT).

Cult choice People who deny that America is divided by social and economic classes should study the 1980 comedy “Caddyshack” (8 p.m., Golf).

BIRTHDAYS Boxing promoter Don King is 81. U.S. special envoy George Mitchell is 79. U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, is 77. Broadcast journalist Connie Chung is 66. Rock singer Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin) is 64.

Singer-songwriter John Hiatt is 60. Actor-director Peter Horton is 59. TV weatherman Al Roker is 58. Rock singer Fred Durst (Limp Bizkit) is 42. Actress-singer Demi Lovato is 20.

this and let them know it’s not acceptable behavior? — Curled Dear Curled: Please do not criticize your exhusband to your children.

Instead, try speaking to your ex-husband. Tell him that his older children still need to be part of his life, and by neglecting them, they absorb the message that he no longer loves them. Perhaps you could work together to find a solution. It also would be in everyone’s best interest if they form a relationship with their new sibling.

Dear Annie: My husband and I were invited to a surprise birthday dinner at a nice restaurant. We certainly were surprised when we were asked to pay our share of the bill. We assumed that when invited, we would be guests. The nonpaying kind. When I hosted a dinner for my husband’s birthday, I asked people to be my

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Monday, Aug. 20: This year you become a host to the unexpected. Your life develops an exciting and surprising tone. If you are single, you could attract quite a group of wannabe suitors.

If you are attached, your significant other will feel most indulged, though you must remain in touch with his or her needs.

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 know how to work well with others, yet you prefer to remain the dominating influence.

You might believe a situation is evolving in this same manner. Tonight: Sort through the possibilities, then decide.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Pace yourself, and try not to react to a somewhat surprising event or piece of news. Give yourself time to adjust. Tonight: Your treat.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Allow your imagination to infuse relationships and events with more excitement or intrigue.

You tend to add interest and a new dimension to any project. Tonight: Add more fun to a situation.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You could see a personal matter quite differently from others — so much so that you might feel unsure of certain past judgments.

In the next few weeks, you could revisit past decisions and choose to change them. Tonight: Happily head home.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Listen well, and understand what is going on behind someone’s words. You grasp more

jacquelinebigar.com

than you are willing to deal with right now. Tonight: Talk up a storm.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Be sensitive to your budget. You might want to deal with a loved one differently. Tonight: Maintain your budget.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You are all smiles.

The unexpected excitement that a quirky friend generates helps keep your interest. Tonight: As you like.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Realize what is going on behind the scenes. What is being expressed openly might be hiding a different agenda or problem.

Tonight: Not to be found.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You are in a position to transform or walk away from a difficult situation. A meeting could prove to be instrumental. Tonight: Find your pals.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Take charge, and understand that others might be slightly resentful or envious of your leadership abilities. Be gracious, and do not cop an attitude. Tonight: In the limelight.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Reach out for someone at a distance. The unexpected plays a role in your plans. Tonight: Act on some fun idea that has been on the back burner.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) A partnership or several key relationships dominate your plans and ideas. You could be overwhelmed by everything you have to do. Tonight: Indulge a roommate or family member.

guests, and I paid the bill.

So what is the proper approach when you invite people and expect them to pay? And how do we find out in advance that we’re not actually guests at these events? — Redondo Beach Dear Redondo: Too many people these days believe it is OK to issue an invitation and then saddle the guests with an invoice. We call that “fundraising.” Here is the way to ask people to assume hosting duties: “Several of Bill’s friends want to organize a party for him at Lovely Restaurant and split the bill. Would you like to be a part of it?”

When you have been invited and the hosting duties are unclear, it is OK to ask questions, such as, “Do I need to bring my ACROSS checkbook?”

USING A NEW MARY ANN PAN was part of the inspiration for this peach almond tart.

ift certificates are a gas! There’s something about spending someone else’s money that makes me feel like experimenting.

When two of our friends gave me a gift certificate to a baker’s supply house, I went gaga.

French bread pans? Into the cart. Gallon of imitation vanilla extract? Pass, but the custard cups look interesting.

I ooh’ed and ah’ed my way through the store, finding reasons to stroll past the 10-pound block of caramel several times.

Once I got my new collection of exotic pans home, I had to figure out what to do with them.

I started with the charmingly named Mary Ann pan. It looks like a pie pan with a slightly raised bottom. Inspiration came in the form of a bag of peaches. Tart time!

I knew I wanted almonds to figure in the recipe somewhere, so I ran 1 cup of sliced almonds through a grinder and dumped the results in my mixer bowl.

I added 4 ounces of cream cheese, 1 stick of butter cut into small pieces, 1 egg, 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 tablespoon of vanilla. These got run together until they were reasonably smooth.

BITE Sighs AUDREY LINTNER To this I added 1 1/2 cups of flour, a little at a time, and mixed until I had a nice firm dough.

I greased the Mary Ann pan and patted the dough into it, all the way to the edges. Into the freezer it went for 15 minutes while I peeled and diced half a dozen medium peaches (about 3 cups) and the oven heated up to 350 degrees.

The pan disappeared into the oven for 30 minutes while the topping was prepared.

The peaches went into a small saucepan, along with 1 cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and 3 tablespoons of cornstarch. The whole mess was stirred and boiled until it was good and thick, and then

I set it aside to cool slightly.

When the timer went off, I inverted the crust onto a pizza pan. Not glamorous, but it was the only thing I had that was flat enough, large enough and ovenproof.

Go with what works.

I carefully spooned the peach topping into the indented part of the crust. Very carefully. Boiling fruit really hurts when it lands on your skin, and it sticks like glue.

Back into the oven slid the tart, for about 7 minutes. The timer beeped, and there it was. Reminding myself that nobody likes third-degree mouth burns, I reluctantly put the tart in the fridge to chill overnight.

You don’t have to, though.

Serve this tart warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or at room temperature with a glass of milk. For a little pizazz, sprinkle the top with sliced almonds.

If you’re 4, you can pester your mom about it. “Want pizza? I want da fwoot pizza, please!”

However you slice it, this tart is a fun way to get to know your Mary Ann pan.

Enjoy!

Dinnertime disaster

The plan was foolproof … or so it seemed

BY PHIL WILKE

I

t was my night to cook. That’s usually not a cause concern, but tonight would be different.

My wife, a marvelous, adventurous cook who can improvise in the kitchen the way Don Rickles can on stage, was working late. So being the gracious husband I am, I said I’d make dinner.

I’m no Iron Chef, but I can get by, especially with gentle, loving guidance and a well-tested recipe.

I was in the mood for pasta tonight. No problem. No one can screw up pasta. No one.

PHIL WILKE The only reason I wanted to make pasta was the baguette I had purchased. It’s perfect for garlic bread. Maybe structuring the entire meal around a tall, skinny loaf of gluten isn’t such a great idea, but I was going to run with it.

Because I was told we didn’t have any pasta sauce in the pantry, I was using company time to research easy and flavorful cream sauce recipes on cooking websites. I found one I thought I could handle, which would also stretch my culinary chops, so to speak: Roasted Garlic Peppercorn Sauce. Rated four stars out of five by users of the site. “Fast, easy and delicious,” raved workingmom49 of Schenectady, N.Y. No one can screw up this sauce. No one.

First, cut the tops off two cloves of garlic, drizzle them in olive oil and roast them at 325 degrees for 45 minutes. So far, so good. Flash forward to taking the garlic out of the oven. Maybe I left them in for a few minutes too long or maybe our oven bakes a little too hot, but they were certainly usable. Onward to the much-

NO ONE can screw up pasta and garlic bread … right? awaited cream sauce.

The recipe calls for a standard butter, flour, milk mixture. Let that come to a boil. It looked a little thin, but it’ll thicken.

Just follow the recipe.

Time for the garlic bread. One of my favorite foods in the entire universe. Baguette split, butter melted, garlic minced, bread buttered, spices spread and into the oven. Bake it for a few minutes, then a moment of browning under the broiler.

I’ve done this before. No one can screw up garlic bread. No one.

For the sauce, I’m supposed to crush a tablespoon of peppercorns. After several minutes of looking in every drawer in the kitchen and finding every single kitchen implement conceivable EXCEPT a mortar and pestle (Why do we have three peelers?

How many melon ballers does one family really need?), I decided to use the back of a large spoon. It was supposed to produce the same result, except now the peppercorns shoot out from underneath the spoon at warp speed if I hold the spoon slightly askew. Within a few moments, the

countertop looks like an accident site at a ball bearing factory. Peppercorns are flying thick and fast.

Time to start the bowtie pasta. Bowties, the cutest of all the pasta shapes.

Unfortunately, the sauce isn’t quite thickening up. Maybe a little higher heat.

I mean, I’m following the recipe exactly.

I added the roasted garlic, now smashed under my peppercorn-encrusted spoon, and let the flavors meld. A little taste should give me direction on seasoning.

Now, I’m sure all of us had tasted library paste at some time. The library paste at my grade school was a Dom Perignon ’53 compared to the witches brew I had going. After adding salt and the peppercorns, it tasted like library paste with salt and peppercorns. Actually, actual library paste would have been an improvement.

OH CRAP, THE GARLIC BREAD. When I opened the oven door, there was a cloud of smoke thick enough to show up on weather radar. I grabbed the pan and ran it to the back porch to vent the house. I let it sit on the patio table, where it would hopefully decay into chunks of carbon thick enough to form charcoal briquettes. Oh well, another good baguette down the epicurean crapper.

Then the smoke detector went off … on the second floor.

Several minutes of waving a large bath towel to freshen the air around the smoke detector finally quieted the ear-splitting, seizure-inducing whine of the smoke detector’s piercing, wake-the-dead scream.

This is when I see the pasta boiling over.

The bowties have come unknotted and are as unkempt as a drunken high school senior the morning after prom. They’ve gone from cute little pasta bowties to glutinous little ragged rectangles of death.

Let’s review. Bread: ruined. Sauce: ruined. Pasta: ruined. I’ve hit the trifecta. We went out for Mexican food. They didn’t ruin anything.

I think I’m going to burn that recipe. It shouldn’t be hard. No one can screw that up. No one.

PETS SHAPE UP ON DOG TREADMILLS

BY SUE MANNING, ASSOCIATED PRESS

L

OS ANGELES — Like any true celebrity, Uggie, the Jack Russell terrier from “The Artist” and “Water for Elephants,” puts in his time on the treadmill.

At 10, Uggie doesn’t do a heavy workout, just a light trot and walking, said owner-trainer Omar Von Muller of Los Angeles. But Von Muller bought Uggie a DogPacer for those times when he can’t go out because of weather, work or paparazzi.

“It’s important to keep him in shape,” Von Muller said.

“If they don’t get their exercise, they get old too fast, just like people.”

Some 3 million dogs across the country were using treadmills in 2010, according to a survey of pet owners by the American Pet Products Association. The group asked about treadmills for the first time in its 2011/2012 survey because the machines were selling so briskly, APPA President Bob Vetere said.

It may look like the dog is going nowhere. But pet owners with fat, old or misbehaving dogs say they measure the benefits of canine treadmills in pounds, years and sleep.

Heather Chau borrowed a DogPacer when her rescue dog Heidi arrived weighing 115 pounds. Heidi is now down to 80 pounds, and Chau, a Las Vegas bookkeeper, was so impressed, she returned the donated DogPacer and bought her own.

Now all four of her dogs use the treadmill. Chau explains that she can’t walk four dogs at a time, and summer in Las Vegas heats up early and winds down late.

“I want to make sure the rest of their lives are the healthiest we can make them. If the treadmill promotes a longer life, then it’s easy to do it each day. Whatever they have been through is in the past. Whatever we can do now to help them lead a healthier, better life is worth it,” Chau said.

Treadmills come in a range of sizes and prices.

At LA Dog Works in Los Angeles, owner Andrew Rosenthal has a DogPacer, one of the newest and least expensive on the market at $499, that his Alsatian German shepherd Josh likes to use.

Rosenthal’s 24-hour dog care center, which includes boarding, grooming, training, day care, hydrotherapy, massage therapy and a retail store, also uses a $3,000 Jog A Dog and a $40,000 underwater treadmill.

The most visible difference between a human treadmill and a canine treadmill is the size, because a dog’s stride is longer and his body shorter than a human’s, said David Ezra, the owner of Las Vegas-based DogPacer.

DogPacer plans to release a treadmill for toy dogs in September and the price will be smaller too, Ezra said.

The Pooch Hotel in Los Angeles, owned by Petco Animal Supplies Inc., offers a treadmill to help keep pets in shape. About half the dog population has some kind of weight problem, so it was a no-brainer, said Jason Michal, who runs the hotels as Petco’s vice president of pet services and hospitality.

For home use, Pennsylvania-based GoPet has canine treadmills and a treadwheel, which looks like a giant

The Jog A Dog is an industrial model used for professional purposes, unlike the DogPacer, which is meant for home. AT LEFT, ANDREW ROSENTHAL, owner of LA Dog Works, watches Trixie, 3, a pit bull, using an aquatic treadmill meant for dogs in need of lower impact exercise.

hamster wheel, for small to large breeds, ranging from $475 to $1,225.

Dog trainer April Suhr of Las Vegas believes shelters across the country could make animals more adoptable if the animals used treadmills just two or three days a week.

It’s easy for a dog in a shelter to go cage crazy, she said.

“They pace. They don’t focus. They bark. They won’t eat.

They won’t make eye contact.”

The answer is exercise, she said. “It’s why the gym is so good for us when we are stressed out. It puts our endorphins to good use.”

Suhr, who volunteers at Adopt a Rescue Pet and has her own business, 4 Pawz On The Floor, also works parttime in a pet superstore. She brought a rescue dog, Max, to the store every week to use the machine.

“Not only did he calm down, but he was using the

treadmill one day when a woman came in, saw him, fell in love with him and adopted him,” she said.

Suhr has one at her home for her three pets and her foster dogs. Suhr figures she would have to run miles and miles and spend hours and hours to get all her dogs as much exercise as they get on the treadmill in minutes.

Marie Czarnecki, 73, of Las Vegas is having her left knee replaced in a few weeks and will be out of commission for a few months.

She ordered a DogPacer the first day she saw one at her trainer’s office. Her shelties, Dee Dee, 6, and Sundance, 3, have been using it for several months. She calls it the best thing in her garage besides her car.

“Now I take them out with a leash, they get on, I set it and they go twice a day for 10 minutes,” she said. “They run over a mile a day and they do like it.”

Late-summer veggies can fill garden’s vacant spots

BY DEAN FOSDICK, ASSOCIATED PRESS

M

id- to late summer is prime time for gardeners — a last chance to grow a second batch of fresh vegetables before the plant-killing frosts arrive. Add a few protective enclosures, such as cold frames, overhead sheets and hoops, and the harvest can be extended until Thanksgiving and beyond.

“The goal is to have fully grown, readyto-pick plants that basically store themselves in the garden throughout the fall, so you can pick them as you need them over a long, sustained garden season,” said Renee Shepherd, founder of Renee’s Garden Seeds in Felton, Calif.

You can plant many of the cool-weather crops from seed if you time it properly, she said. That means choosing fast-maturing varieties that can develop ahead of the average date for the first hard frost.

“Row covers for plant protection can always help extend the season when cold weather comes early, but if you plan and plant at the proper time, your fall harvests still will be abundant,” Shepherd said.

Think ahead though, because many neighborhood nurseries close or have picked-over inventories after the rush for spring supplies has ended.

“Some of the specialty garden centers and nurseries bring in extra plants for the fall, but you may have to purchase from another source and that takes some planning,” said David Hillock, an extension consumer horticulturist with Oklahoma State University.

Before planting a second crop, turn the

soil and refresh it. Fertilize to restore nutrients lost to the spring varieties.

And be sure to water. The ground is hot in August, and new plants must get plenty of water, especially while getting started.

“Anything you can do to help conserve soil moisture should be done,” said Rosie Lerner, a consumer horticulturist with Purdue University Cooperative Extension. “Organic mulches cool the soil and decrease the need for moisture, a big plus when starting over in the summertime.”

There may be some overlap between spring and fall gardens. “Some beans and tomatoes might remain, perhaps — things that will ripen in cooler weather,” Hillock said. “But the typical fall garden crops tend to be more frost-tolerant.”

Tender plants that usually stop growing or die after being nipped by frost include celery, eggplant, lima beans, cucumbers and summer squash.

Second-season crops capable of shrugging off several fall frosts — especially if covered by inexpensive plastic “tents” and warmed with light bulbs — include broccoli, cabbage, lettuce, kale, spinach and turnips.

“Here in Oklahoma, we have people harvesting tomatoes well into December if they have them covered,” Hillock said.

And don’t forget herbs. Thyme is the hardiest, along with sage, parsley and oregano.

There are other advantages to gardening in autumn: “Fewer pests and insects are around,” Hillock said. “Temperatures are cooler with the fall rains. Disease isn’t as frequent as it is with the springtime plants but you do have to keep an eye out.”

Start new school year with optimism Dr. Wes: This week, we welcome Katie Guyot (Ghee-you, hard “g”) to the Double Take chair.

She’s the ninth co-author since 2004, continuing a remarkable tradition of teen journalism that is without match in any other newspaper or magazine in print or online.

Katie is a Free State High School senior and won our April contest in a field of eight strong competitors. She’s also editor of the Free State Free Press. We’re backlogged with questions well into September at this point, so we’ll have no problem keeping her busy churning out smart advice for teens and parents.

Over the last year, and with the publication of our books, Double Take has enjoyed an even wider exposure in the media. Katie will have the new role this year of furthering that trend by appearing with me on radio, TV and in print, representing our community as well as her own writing and opinion.

I say it every year because it bears repeating: We really live the charmed life here in Lawrence, Kan., with such a rich base of artistic, literate and ambitious young people who add so much to our lives. It has been a real privilege over the years to provide one very public forum for their expression, and it gives me great pride to kick off another Double Take year with a young woman of such caliber as Katie.

As is our tradition, we turn the first column over to the new author to opine on whatever she sees as a critical interest, value or concern for today’s teens. Katie selected the problem of stress as a theme for her year, and I think you’ll find her take on it quite thoughtful and important this week and in the months to come — though when she uses phrases like “trigonometric identities and MLA parenthetical citations,” I’m pretty sure I’ll be having latent test anxiety dreams tonight.

Double TAKE DR. WES CRENSHAW AND KATIE GUYOT Katie: As a senior in high school, I’m only too familiar with the two extremes of a teenager’s stress load, with summer vacation on the infrared end of the spectrum and finals week on the ultraviolet.

Usually in August, as I imagine the impossible balancing act that awaits me as soon as summer wanes, I find myself developing a nervous twitch somewhere in my face, leading me to sit down with a calendar to work out a countdown to the last day of school in May. This year, I want to start out a little more optimistically.

First, I will scratch out the word “impossible” before “balancing act.” For you teenagers out there, pick up a pen, find that phrase in my first paragraph, and delete it. It’s not only possible but vital that we find a comfortable balance between school and life before we all go prematurely gray by midsemester.

School is stressful because it’s important — and not just to college admissions officers. Along with learning trigonometric identities and MLA parenthetical citations, students are teaching themselves

about personal accountability and time management, so middle and high school are the perfect times for teenagers to experience the responsibility that comes with scheduling their time wisely.

A wise schedule does not include all work and no play. Trying to get through school when sleep and fun are buried beneath a stack of textbooks is like carrying a 30-pound backpack with one strap drawn up tight and the other hanging loose at your side. Sooner or later, the stress is going to give you a painful hunchback.

To keep your life’s shoulders balanced, study hard and get involved in school, but always remember to schedule some “you time,” whether going out for a run or watching an episode of “Gossip Girls.”

A healthy mind and body are more important than a big, shiny “A,” and most college admissions officers would agree.

Starting today, I’m going to challenge myself to follow my own advice. As the saying goes, it’s easier said than done, and between school, activities and Double Take, I’m expecting a busy year.

That said, I applied for this position because I wanted to give teens and parents of teens whatever insight I could into these turbulent adolescent times. I can’t put into words how excited I am to start writing alongside Dr. Wes. At the end of the year, I’ll let you know how that balance has worked out for me.

Grilled tuna steaks with mango herb salsa

A simple grilled tuna steak with big, bold flavors

BY ALISON LADMAN, ASSOCIATED PRESS

S

ummer makes us long for the grill.

But by the end of the season, even our favorite burgers and dogs can feel a bit tired.

So to keep your grilling interesting, we came up with a speedy grilled tuna dish that packs tons of big, bold flavors.

For our recipe, we used tuna steaks, which are thick, meaty pieces cut from the fish in the opposite direction than a fillet. You also could use salmon steaks, which often include the bone (which helps the flesh hold together on the grill). Swordfish also would work in this recipe.

We kept the prep simple with just a light coating of oil and a bit of salt and pepper. We wanted to let the flavor of the tuna shine.

But to ensure we also could taste the fresh flavors of summer, we top the tuna with a cross between a fruit salsa and an herby chimichurri. It goes together in about 2 minutes with the help of a food processor.

GRILLED TUNA STEAKS WITH MANGO HERB SALSA Start to finish: 20 minutes Servings: 4

1/2 cup packed fresh parsley leaves 1/4 cup packed fresh oregano leaves 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar 2 cloves garlic 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes Zest and juice of 1 lemon 2 mangos, peeled, pitted and diced Salt and ground black pepper Four 6-ounce tuna steaks Heat the grill to high.

In a food processor, combine the parsley, oregano, mint, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, the red wine vinegar, garlic, red pepper flakes, and the lemon zest and juice. Process until well chopped, scraping down the bowl as needed. Add the mango and pulse once or twice to combine and lightly chop. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside.

Rub the tuna steaks on all sides with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, then season them with salt and pepper. Grill the steaks for 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Serve topped with the salsa.

LAWRENCE LOCALES

Museum director keeps area artifacts high and dry

BY MARGIE CARR

M

ore than 40 years ago, when the Army Corps of Engineers began buying up properties in the Wakarusa Valley to flood the area and build Clinton Dam, Martha Parker, who had lived in the area her whole life, began telling residents of the area to save everything that had to do with their families.

“I told them to get up in their attics and find those photographs, letters and report cards. I wanted everything,” she says. “These people were farmers. They weren’t interested in preserving their heritage.”

But Parker was. And because of her foresight and persistence, she was able to accumulate a vast array of treasures, papers and artifacts from the people who settled the valley.

“I had boxes and boxes of this stuff in my home for years,” she says.

Parker knew there were stories inside the boxes: stories about the earliest settlers, like her grandmother who came in 1860 at the tender age of 9; stories about her husband’s family, who settled in the valley two years before that; and stories from African-American residents, many of whose ancestors came to the valley after the Civil War because of its reputation for being a haven for runaway slaves. “They settled in the valley because they knew the people here were sympathetic,” says Parker.

Settlers poured into the area after the Kansas-Nebraska Act opened the territory and allowed residents to choose whether Kansas would enter the Union as a slave or free state. The popular sovereignty approach to the slavery question had devastating consequences for settlers of the area, many of whom had a personal understanding of the term “Bloody Kansas.” People like Augustus Wattles, who arrived in May of 1855 with his wife and four children and staked a claim in Bloomington.

In the time he resided in the valley, he testified before

contend with hazards on the frontier such as floods, droughts and diseases. And while the early settlers of the valley built churches, schools and communities, their descendants watched as they were destroyed by the dam.

“When the lake filled with water, our culture and history came to the surface,” says Parker.

And like cream that rises, stories emerged from the materials Parker collected, and many are on display in the Wakarusa River Valley Heritage Museum, which is located, of all places, in a former milk barn that belonged to one of the area’s most prominent citizens, J.C. Steele,

who lived a stately brick home on one of the highest points of the valley.

“I remember the couple who lived in the house when I was a little girl,” says Parker. “He played the fiddle and she the piano, and there were always doughnuts. … I figured if I couldn’t save all of the valley, at least I could try to save one house.”

Despite the home’s placement on the National Register for Historic Places, Parker’s efforts to preserve it were ultimately unsuccessful. The best the Corps of Engineers could do was to save Steele’s milk barn and three surrounding acres, a plot of land now adjacent to Bloomington Beach at Clinton Lake.

There isn’t much space in the old barn, only about 700 square feet, but that is about to change. On Sept. 15th, the museum will break ground on an addition that will more than double its size.

“I’ve waited 40 years for this,” says Parker, who has served as the museum’s director since its opening in 1984. “People come in wanting to know the history of their family, and finally, we will have a place for them to do their research.”

Parker hopes the new museum will be open by May 2013.

“I keep telling the doctor I’m going to slow down,” says Parker. “Maybe I’ll finally be able to!”

Last sip of summer A

lmost gone are “those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer.”

In Lawrence, the sound of the ice cream truck’s music playing is being replaced by the sound of school bus wheels rumbling down the road.

Gone are the summer band concerts, the fireflies twinkling their magical lights at dusk, and even public swimming days at the Outdoor Aquatic Center, 727 Ky. (although morning lap swim continues through Aug. 31).

Who doesn’t want to make summer linger longer? Personally, I’m not looking forward to seeing stark, leafless trees in a barren winter landscape again. I’m planning to squeeze out the last sun-drenched drops of summer by heading to nearby water parks!

DAYTRIPPER If you haven’t been to Schlitterbahn in Kansas City, Kan., this season, then you haven’t been to Schlitterbahn.

The water park is now double the size it was last year, after a multimillion-dollar expansion. With its new Transportainment River System, you can float through the entire park without ever leaving the water. If you’ve ever wanted to go river tubing, a day at Schlitterbahn is like going on a float trip.

Schlitterbahn guests enjoy free parking and free use of inner tubes and life jackets, and are permitted to bring their own picnic baskets and coolers inside the park (no alcohol or glass containers).

My favorite area in Schlitterbahn is the Torrent River, which combines the relaxation of a “Lazy River” ride with the excitement of ocean-sized waves. Every 19 seconds, a 20,000-gallon wave surges through the entire “river.”

I love the tranquil feeling of being carried gently along on my inner tube by the current, but also enjoy being swept vigorously through the 1,800-foot waterway by pounding surf. I even relish the occasional wipe out! Even though I lost a pair of goggles last summer when engulfed by a 4-foot-high wave, I still happily ride this attraction several times in a row every time I come to Schlitterbahn.

If you’re a wannabe surfer dude stuck in the dry Midwest, I’ve got good news for you. New in 2012, the Boogie Bahn at Schlitterbahn is the only surf ride in the Kansas City region.

A rapidly moving sheet of water rushes across a waveshaped surface as surfers maneuver to maintain control on body boards. (Beneath the sheet of water is a foam-

Other new rides at Schlitterbahn this year include the King Kaw Rapids River — basically a white water rafting trip on inner tubes, letting you negotiate rapids and waterfalls on a 3,000-foot river; Twister & Cyclone, a race through banked curves and short tunnels on two head-first mat slides; Whirlwind, a plunge down a fullyenclosed slide in the dark; Mighty Mo, a fast-flow tube chute allowing you to swish and spin through rushing water; and Blitz Falls, an “Aqua Veyer” that lets you float through calm waters en route to Torrent River.

RIDING THE RAPIDS RIVER at Schlitterbahn Kansas City Waterpark is an exhilarating adventure.

Storm Blaster, nirvana for thrill-seekers who crave a water slide that thinks it’s a roller coaster; Bahnzai Pipeline, Wolfpack and Black Knight, three 42-foot-tall tube slides; Raging River, a white water rapids tube chute; and Kristal River, a peaceful float through calm currents.

Toddlers can enjoy the Kinderhaven and Pirate Ship areas, with their assortment of mini-slides for smaller children.

And grown-ups will appreciate Henry’s Hideout, a heated pool with bubble jets and a swim-up refreshment bar, where they can unwind at the end of a fun-filled day.

With 60 acres of water fun, Oceans of Fun in Kansas City, Mo., is a complete vacation destination for area families.

The collection of splashing and soaking attractions includes 33 water slides; giant wave pool Surf City; Caribbean Cooler, a lazy 800-foot “gentle rapids” river; a three-story interactive water fun house; two areas for little squirts; Castaway Cove, an adults-only pool with a swim-up refreshment bar; Coconut Cove, a huge activity pool with floating sharks, crabs and hippos; and Buccaneer Bay, a

Floating on the Caribbean Cooler ride at Oceans of Fun is my idea of heaven, which is why I bought a season pass this year to the park. It’s my favorite way to celebrate my birthday every summer — better than a massage to ease tension and (quite literally) wash away the cares of the day.

Both Schlitterbahn and Oceans of Fun are open through Labor Day. Check out their websites for dates and times of operation.

So what are you waiting for? Grab the beach towels and the sunscreen. Because once the winter winds start howling, you’ll wish, as Nat King Cole once sang, “that summer would always be here.”

As summer moves into fall, look for Tangerine Tango to take on a deeper, more appropriate shade for the season.

ALI EDWARDS

FALL COLOR TREND: BURNT ORANGE

F

or some reason, I’ve always been attracted to the cooler end of the color spectrum.

When I look through my closet, I see mostly hues of green, blue and brown; hardly any red, orange or yellow.

When the Pantone Color Institute predicted Tangerine Tango as the hottest color of 2012, I have to admit, I was skeptical about the industry’s ability to pull it off in a variety of different styles among a slew of different designers. Its only saving grace, I thought, was that it was bright and bold and memorable.

Not surprisingly, I’m a big fan of bright color and crazy prints, and I love when designers incorporate hodgepodge, mishmashes of patterns and textures in their collections.

After my initial disappointment with Pantone’s predicted color of the year, I fantasized how this bright orange hue would influence clothing designs. To my surprise, not only has it completely taken over the clothing industry, this color has overwhelmed home décor as well.

We’ve seen plenty of color blocking, loads of vintage prints and some stellar sheer textures that use bright orange this spring and summer. However, as summer moves into fall, look for Tangerine Tango to take on a deeper, more appropriate shade for the season. In fall 2012, burnt orange will join Tangerine Tango as one of the most popular tints of the year.

Designers like BCBG Max Azria have been rolling out their fall collections on the runway featuring neutrals like black, brown and ivory matched with the bright oranges we have been seeing all year along with abundantly more burnt orange tones.

For a muted, conservative look, do what BCBG did and pair burnt orange with a variety of neutrals — gray, black, brown or cream.

However, if you’re apt to wear more exuberant outfits, match burnt orange with teal or grassy green. For a balance between the two looks, try using teal or grassy green as a simple accent to a burnt orange/neutral-colored outfit. Incorporate burnt orange into current trends like colored, fitted pants and wedge heels for a warm, fall uniform.

Look for burnt orange in home décor items as well. This particular color lends itself well to creating vintage-y concepts, especially when paired with Robin’s Egg or Tiffany Blue.

Geometric patterns will remain popular for home décor accessories as well. If you have a primarily industrial philosophy of design, pair geometric patterns and metal design elements with splashes of burnt orange. For a cozy, homey atmosphere, pair burnt orange with other warm tones.

If you haven’t gotten into the Tangerine Tango trend yet this year because it’s too bright for your taste, try out a deeper burnt orange color for a new piece or two in your wardrobe this fall.

I

have a confession to make.

One time … back in college … simply because my friends were doing it too … I joined a sorority.

While I only lived in the actual sorority house one semester and drew the line at wearing hair bows to class, I still remember the Greek name my Big Sis gave me at initiation.

And sometimes, when I’m having trouble sleeping, I try to list everyone from my pledge class (I usually get in four or five Jennifers before finally drifting off), which is about as active as I had been as an alumnus until last weekend, when I went back to the house to help the young women with rush.

Standing outside the beautiful brick mansion with its majestic white columns, I quickly traveled back in time 22 years as an adorable young woman holding a clipboard called my name before handing me off to my hostess, Erin, for a tour of the house.

As she led me to my old room on the third floor, she asked me what had changed since I was in college.

“Well, we had never heard of the Internet,” I started, “and the house had three new Macs for all of us to share for writing papers.”

She seemed impressed so I continued.

“We didn’t have iAnythings, tweets came out of birds and the Kardashians were just kids waiting for their dad to land a big client.”

Just then we passed a framed composite from my sophomore year. I paused in front of it, scanning the rows upon rows of glamorously-curled, heavily made-up blondes in their matching black drapes before finding my photo: one very disheveled brunette who had, apparently, yet to discover highlights or tweezers.

All of this time I thought I had outgrown

my awkward phase in high school, and that by college I was, relative to the bad perm and braces, rather presentable.

I have never been more wrong about anything in my life.

I considered faking it and telling Erin I was sick that day and there wasn’t a photo of me from the early ’90s to be found anywhere ever, but it was too late. She saw me point to my photo and did a triple-take.

“That’s you?” she asked in disbelief, turning back and forth from the photo to the 40-year-old next to her with her wellshaped brows and undeniably salon-colored hair.

“And we had never heard of the flatiron,” I winced.

“You look,” she stammered for the right words to describe the transformation from 1991 to 2012 before settling for, “really different.”

I took another look at my sisters with their gravity-defying hair, knowing there were pleated jeans just out of the shot, and decided we women really do get better with age.

“Yep,” I replied, remembering the weekend this summer two of my sorority sisters visited for a wedding. We were the prettiest (albeit only) girls wandering into the Hawk after the rehearsal dinner. “I think we all do.”

eiling fans can reduce energy costs by properly circulating the air throughout any given room. For optimal performance, ceiling fan blades should be set to rotate clockwise during the summer months and counterclockwise during the winter.

Wobbly ceiling fans are both inefficient and potentially dangerous.

Step 1: If the blades appear unsteady, check to make sure the fan is assembled properly and all nuts and screws are tightened completely.

Step 2: Remove the fan housing and confirm that the junction box is firmly attached to the ceiling joist and ascertain the fan is mounted correctly.

Step 3: With the fan off, rest the edge of a yard stick against the tip of one fan blade. Hold the top of the yard stick steady against the ceiling and manually rotate the fan blades, measuring the distance from the ceiling to each of the blade tips.

Step 4: If the blade tips are uneven, gently bend the blade holders back into position so each blade tip is equal distance from the ceiling.

Step 5: If the fan still wobbles, use a blade balancing kit to properly weight one of the blades to offset the unevenness.

Turn the fan off and select one blade. Place

the balancing clip onto the blade edge, half way between the blade tip and the blade holder.

Step 6: With the clip securely in place, turn the fan on and test to see if the wobble is better or worse.

Step 7: Turn the fan off and remove the balancing clip. Reposition the clip onto the next blade. Turn the fan on and observe the wobble. Repeat the process until all blades have been observed.

Step 8: Once all the blades have been tested, place the clip back onto the edge of the blade which showed the most improvement with the clip in place.

Step 9: Slide the clip up and down the blade edge, turning the fan on and off to identify the position which bests reduces the fan’s wobble.

Step 10: Once the optimal position is determined, center a balancing weight on the blade top directly in line with the balancing clip.

Step 11: Install the balancing weight and remove the balancing clip. Test the fan again to assure the wobbles are gone.

If not, repeat the process with additional balancing weights.

un and learning can extend beyond the classroom. From music and the arts to organized sports, after-school activities can help kids stay active and make lifelong friends.

Here are some great tips to keep kids active and engaged during the afternoon:

Sign up early: Many programs fill up fast. Be sure to sign your kids up for programs as soon as possible to ensure their enrollment.

Listen to your kids: As much as you would like your child to participate in certain activities, don’t push too hard. Let them explore all their options to find activities they actually enjoy doing.

Make scheduling convenient: If your child is active, you will be, too. Plan activities close to home or school to limit time spent in the car.

Go informal: When the weather is nice, consider organizing an impromptu neighborhood bike ride or soccer game. If your child is artistically inclined, invite his or her friends over for craft time.

Encourage academic interests: Athome supplies can inspire your child to get excited about learning. A science kit, for example, can be found at any hobby store and will augment lesson plans with fun hands-on experiments. Personalized journals will encourage your young writer to put pen to paper and compose stories or essays.

Don’t overschedule: As with everything great in life, moderation is key.

Popular Bumbo infant floor seat recalled

W

(AP) — About 4 million Bumbo Baby Seats are being recalled after nearly two dozen reports of infant skull fractures.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission says babies can wiggle out of the floor seats.

About 1 million of the molded foam seats were recalled in October 2007 for additional warning labels against placing the Bumbo seats on raised surfaces, such as tables or kitchen counters.

Since the first recall, CPSC and Bumbo International of South Africa have learned of at least 50 incidents in which babies fell from Bumbo seats while they were being used ASHINGTON

on raised surfaces. CPSC says another 34 babies fell from the seats while they were being used on the floor or at an unknown elevation. In all, there were 21 reports of skull fractures to infants.

Consumers are asked to stop using the seats and contact Bumbo for a free repair kit that includes a restraint belt and instructions on how to safely use the seat. The repair kit can be ordered by visiting www.recall.BumboUSA.com or calling 866-898-4999.

In a statement, the company said it was adding a restraint belt to enhance the safety of children using the Bumbo seat.
