that.

The group, which started meeting monthly earlier this year, aims to provide a comfortable environ-

ment for discussing mortality.

Organizers are quick to note that the death cafe is not a grief support group or in any way morbid, but rather a safe place to share your thoughts on dying, death and the afterlife — with refreshments.

Topeka — State health officials in Kansas on Monday abruptly halted the launch of a new Medicaid service in Kansas less than a day before it was set to begin, leaving agencies like Heartland Community Health Center in Lawrence Stewart in a lurch.

“We’re going to have to scramble,” said Jon Stewart, CEO of Heartland, which had intended to provide the service to Douglas County residents. “We put a ton of time and energy into making this happen. ... But this delay, it was incredibly disruptive.”

The new service, known as a “health home,” is intended to provide intensive Please see HEALTH, page 2A

Peter Park’s testimony in the drug trial continues today.

Kansas City, Kan. — By the time Peter Park began associating with Lawrence twins Los and Roosevelt Dahda, his yearslong venture in moving marijuana and cocaine had taken a major hit.

Wednesday as he returned to testify in a federal drug conspiracy trial of the Dahdas and Justin Pickel, of San Lorenzo, Calif. The three are the only co-defendants out of 43 to go to trial.

Others, like Park, took plea deals.

Ralph D. hagenbuch A celebration of life for Ralph D. Hagenbuch was held in rural Pateros, WA on June 14, 2014.

Ralph was born in Lawrence, KS on January 10, 1934 to Dr. Frank G. Hagenbuch & Anna Lanore “Scrivner” Hagenbuch. He was the fourth of four children brothers Park, Frank Jr., & sister Inez Marie.

He grew up in the Cordley neighborhood, playing baseball, riding his bicycle & working as a carhop. In his teen years he worked at Edmonds grocery store at 19th & Mass. St., continuing through his college days.

During two summers while still in high school along with several of his school buddies, he traveled to Pendleton, Oregon & worked in the frozen pea factory. The beginning of his love for the North West.

He enrolled in KU in 1952 and in 1955 he joined the Army along with some of his college friends. Upon completing his military duty he returned to KU to finish his degree.

Upon graduation from KU, he moved to Seattle and was hired by Boeing.

It was here that he met the love of his life, Betty Jane Johnson.

Ralph & Betty were married in Opportunity, WA on August 20, 1966.

In 1969 they moved to the Methow Valley & purchased property with

case management for two high-cost populations: people with chronic medical conditions such as diabetes, asthma or heart disease; and people with severe mental illness.

A little-known provision of the federal Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, gave states the option of offering the service through their Medicaid programs. The idea was that the Medicaid programs would contract with providers such as Heartland, who would help coordinate all the medical care for those patients and help them learn how to make appropriate health care decisions for themselves.

Under the Affordable Care Act, the federal government would pay 90 percent of the cost of the health home services for the first two years, rather than the 57 percent it pays for most other Medicaid services.

The goal, Stewart

a 100 year old house in Black Canyon.

Ralph found work in apples, selling real estate and became a rural mail carrier.

He loved to work in his flower & vegetable garden. He also was an avid bird watcher & took great pride in feeding the hummingbirds from April through August.

For 20 years he kept a record of the first sighting of most birds in Black Canyon.

He was a collector of thousands of marbles, hundreds of rustic tin toys, sleds, bicycles & old farm machinery, turning their Black Canyon property into a beautiful organized museum.

Ralph died at Wenatchee Valley hospital on April 13, 2014, succumbing to a heart attack suffered three weeks earlier.

He died surrounded by his family who were pretty amazed at how kind & gentle & loving of a man that he was.

He is survived by his wife Betty of the home & three sons, David, Aaron & Brian, all of the Seattle area.

He is also survived by a brother-in-law, a sisterin-law, three nieces & two nephews.

He was preceded by in death by his parents, two brothers & sister.

said, is to improve the quality of care they receive and, ultimately, lower the cost by reducing otherwise avoidable costs. He said Heartland had already identified as many as 300 to 500 patients in Douglas County who would qualify for the service, and he expected that number to grow after the program was launched.

But Monday afternoon, the day before the new program was to begin enrolling patients, the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, which manages Medicaid in Kansas, sent out an email saying it was delaying the start of the home program for the chronically ill, at least until January.

KDHE spokeswoman Sara Belfry said the agency plans to move forward with the health homes for people with severe mental illnesses.

In Douglas County, the Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center is expected to provide health home services for people with mental illnesses.

But health homes for

L awrence J ournal -W orld

people with chronic conditions are being delayed because the agency couldn’t find enough contractors to cover the whole state.

Under federal rules, Belfry said, the state must be able to offer patients a choice of at least two providers before the state can take part in the program.

“We did not have the network adequacy,” she said.

The Kansas Medicaid program was privatized early in Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration and is now known as KanCare. The program is managed by three contractors, or Managed Care Organizations.

Belfry said the reason for the short notice was that state officials were hoping those companies would have enough contracts signed before July 1 for Kansas to qualify for the program.

“They weren’t and we weren’t comfortable enrolling people in a program that didn’t give them choice,” she said.

But for agencies like Heartland Community

Health Center, Stewart said, the lack of notice created numerous problems.

Stewart said Heartland had already hired two new staff members to work in the health home program and was in the process of recruiting two more.

“This leaves us in serious limbo,” he said.

“The energies we’ve spent recruiting — what do we do there? How do we engage these people?

What damage has been done in that recruiting relationship?”

Stewart said he remains hopeful the state will eventually move forward with the health homes program, even if it takes until January, because he believes it will be beneficial.

“I’m frustrated, to put it mildly, with the way this has transpired,” he said. “But again, the program is outstanding.

We’ve seen research on how effective it’s been in Missouri and Iowa.”

question former associates he suspected of breaking into his warehouse. Park also helped the twins ship marijuana in crates and purchased five to 10 pounds of marijuana from the twins, starting slowly while recuperating from the break-in.

“We had to basically start from scratch again,” Park said.

In a phone call played in court Wednesday, Park told Los Dahda in late January 2012 that he suspected a former employee, Damien Mick, also a co-defendant in this case, of orchestrating the invasion. Park’s relationship with Mick had soured in 2010, Park said. Mick, who Park said also served as an occasional middleman on drug deals for Park and co-defendant Wayne Swift, went behind their back to partner with Lawrence businessman and co-defendant Chad Bauman to purchase a neighboring auto shop at which Mick once worked and whose owners previously offered to sell to Park and Swift.

That move also ended a partnership with Bauman in which Park and Swift shipped marijuana from northern California to the Kansas City area. But Bauman still later referred Los Dahda to the two associates when he sought someone to help him move marijuana.

In a 43-defendant case in which prosecutors say multiple defendants don’t know one another, Park was able to identify nearly half of their mugshots in court Wednesday. He did not, however, know Pickel.

Park also testified Wednesday that around March 2012 he hooked up with former Lawrence swim coach James Soderling and his wife, Sarah. The Soderlings lived in Fort Bragg, Calif., and rented a home in Lawrence. Park said he forged a deal over pizza in Kansas City to help transport the high-grade marijuana the Soderlings had access to in California to Kansas.

Both Soderlings have pleaded guilty to conspiracy and await sentencing.

Park later spent much of Wednesday afternoon reviewing 37 of the ledgers seized by law enforcement upon his June 2012 arrest.

He spent hours breaking down the contents of his meticulous handwritten records made on yellow legal paper at times and on smaller sheets later found in his wallet.

“I have a tendency to keep a lot of receipts,” Park said at one point, “which is probably not smart.”

On each sheet were transactions dating back to 2006, the earliest of which Park was surprised to learn he hadn’t thrown away. He explained whose initials he wrote — Los Dahda appeared on multiple sheets — and charted the prices and quantities of the numerous strains of marijuana he trafficked: Bubba Kush, Sour Diesel, Northern Light, Jack the Ripper. He also helped explain some of the notations in Korean — like using the language’s word for nose in reference to cocaine. And at one point, Park revealed, he even moved bath salts for a time to places like Florida, which drew a chuckle from a few jurors.

“If I just did the marijuana I would starve to death,” Park said.

Park will continue testifying this morning during a half-day session that will conclude the trial’s activities this week before it picks back up July 7.

You don’t have to be a bird lover to appreciate the bald eagle.”

— Bob Gress, former director of Wichita’s Great Plains Nature Center

Experts say bald eagles are thriving in Kansas Wichita (ap) — Wildlife experts say bald eagles are thriving in Kansas this year, even if a popular pair that has nested near Wichita for five years is having trouble producing offspring.

District wildlife biologist Charlie Cope said between 84 and 90 active eagle nests have been reported in Kansas this year, and the state is expecting about 24 or 25 eaglets from the south-central region this year, The Wichita Eagle reported.

None of those eaglets will come from a pair that has captured Wichita’s attention since first being spotted in 2009. Observers said one of the eagles was seen in an “incubating position” but no egg hatched. Then a June 12 storm blew the nest out of the tree.

It’s unclear why the birds have been unsuccessful in mating, said Bob Gress, naturalist and former director of Wichita’s Great Plains Nature Center.

Gress said he believes that people will eventually stop actively monitoring bald eagle nests because they will become commonplace.

“The nice thing about eagles is everybody loves them, and not just because they’re big,” Gress said. “Canada geese are big too and not everybody loves them.

There’s a mystique about them.

You don’t have to be a bird lover to appreciate the bald eagle.”

Roberts signs health care repeal pledge

Republican U.S. Senator Pat Roberts has signed a pledge sponsored by a conservative women’s organization to repeal, defund and dismantle the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare.

The pledge is sponsored by Independent Women’s Voice, which considers the pledge a “litmus test” for candidates that it either supports or opposes.

“Signers of the Repeal Pledge believe that this law cannot be ‘fixed’ and that stopping its implementation and ultimately repealing it are necessary first steps to ensure that citizens and their doctors, not govern-

ELECTION

2014

Local candidates Wednesday focused on Gov. Sam Brownback’s tax cuts and recent state budget problems as they tried to drum up support in the Aug. 5 primary.

In the Democratic race for House District 46, Boog Highberger and Abbie Hodgson blasted Brownback, a Republican, for cutting state income tax rates and eliminating income taxes for nearly 200,000 businesses.

Highberger, a former Lawrence mayor, said if elected he would vote to repeal the tax cuts, while Hodgson, who worked for former Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, said the Brownback tax cuts have helped the wealthy at the expense of middle- and lowincome Kansans.

They are seeking the seat now held by Paul Davis, who is the Democratic nominee challenging Brownback for governor.

State Rep. Tom Sloan, RLawrence, who is seeking an 11th term representing House District 45, voted against the Brownback tax cuts and said he supports either freezing those cuts at the current level or restoring the cuts that were made.

Brownback has said the tax cuts will stimulate the economy, Please see HOPEFULS, page 4A

Brownback names state board candidate to K-12 panel

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — Gov. Sam Brownback on Tuesday named Hoisington High School Principal Meg Wilson, a Republican who is running for the SCHOOLS Kansas State Board of Education, to serve on the newly formed K-12 Student Per-

formance and Efficiency Commission.

That appointment rounds out the ninemember panel that lawmakers established this year to make recommendations on how public schools can make more efficient use of taxpayer funds.

In a statement announcing the appointment, Brownback said that Wilson has spent 31 years in education, including work in special education, serving on her

local school board and coaching volleyball and track. She earned a bachelor’s degree from Doane College in Nebraska and a master’s degree in building leadership from Fort Hays State University.

She is also a candidate in the Republican primary for the 5th District State Board of Education seat against incumbent Sally Cauble of Dodge City.

The bill establishing the commission was part of the school finance bill

that lawmakers passed to address equity issues in school funding that the Kansas Supreme Court ruled unconstitutional.

The panel includes three appointments by the governor; two each from the Senate President and Speaker of the House; and one each from the House and Senate minority leaders.

Earlier, Brownback named Shawnee Mission Superintendent Jim Hinson and Concordia Superintendent Bev Mortimer

to serve on the panel.

House Speaker Ray Merrick, R-Stilwell, appointed Dave Trabert, president of the conservative think tank Kansas Policy Institute, and Kansas Chamber President and CEO Mike O’Neal, a former House Speaker.

Senate President Susan Wagle, R-Wichita, appointed Wichita East High Principal Ken Theissen and former Wichita Metro Chamber of Commerce Chairman Sam Williams.

Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, D-Topeka, appointed former Sen. Janis Lee, DKensington. And House Minority Leader Paul Davis, D-Lawrence, tapped former Republican Sen. John Vratil of Leawood.

The commission is to report its recommendations to the Legislature

by Jan. 9. — Peter Hancock can be reaced at 785-354-422. Email him at phancock@ ljworld.com.

School of Law alumnus has made a $500,000 gift to establish a professorship in honor of the late professor Earl B. Shurtz.

Art Piculell, of Portland, Ore., made the donation on behalf of himself and his late wife, Dee. Piculell described Shurtz, who taught from 1955 to 1977, as a considerate and concerned individual who frequently engaged students in long conversations. “We would discuss life in general,� Piculell said. “I’m just paying back what I got. Kansas has been very good to me.�

Art and Dee met at Emporia State University, where Dee earned a degree in music education and Art earned a degree in psychology and sociology.

They married and

— Art Piculell, KU law school alumnus moved to Wichita, where Art was a social worker and Dee taught grade school. Later, Art was director of the county welfare departments of both Scott and Wichita counties.

The couple moved to Lawrence in 1962 so that Art could attend law school, while Dee taught.

In 1965, Piculell earned his law degree and he practiced law in western Kansas, then later in Oregon.

In Portland, the couple became involved in real estate development. Piculell said his law degree helped him in the real estate business. In 2004, the couple created the J.B.

Smith Distinguished Professor in Constitutional Law at KU. KU law Dean Stephen Mazza said Piculell exemplified the ability to use a law degree from KU in various ventures. “He was in some sense a nontraditional student, and then he started out in western Kansas, and then, like we advise our students, he kept his eyes and ears open for opportunities. He took those opportunities and turned out to be wildly successful,� Mazza said.

6 Topeka teachers from Philippines await federal ruling on legal limbo Topeka (ap) — Six teachers from the Philippines who work in Topeka are waiting for a decision from federal officials on their residency permits that would allow them to continue working in Kansas.

The Topeka school district began recruiting teachers overseas in 2005, focusing on math, science and special education. The district currently has 30 teachers from abroad, mainly from the Philippines.

The Topeka CapitalJournal reports that the U.S. Department of Labor blocked the district’s applications for permanent residency for six teachers last summer. Those teachers were among a group that needed approval of

longer-term residency permission than their existing visas allowed.

The department said the district had not proven there was a shortage of qualified teachers who are U.S. citizens who were willing or interested in filling the vacancies in the northeast Kansas district.

State Department of Education data indicate that finding qualified teachers for those subject areas are among the toughest to fill in Kansas. Topeka officials appealed the federal ruling.

Carla Nolan, head of human resources for the district, said school officials are waiting for a response, but that the applications that were

rejected were similar to the one that was approved.

It also has submitted applications on behalf of another 13 international teachers, and eight have been approved. Nolan said that was an encouraging sign for the district. “It’s been a huge relief,�

Nolan said. “They’re very happy, we’re very happy.�

The district hasn’t received word on the status of the other five applications, four of which are being audited by federal officials, she said.

Those teachers have more steps before they are allowed to stay in the U.S. permanently. Nolan said it could be years before the residency questions were resolved.

Hopefuls

the Legislature, Hodgson said, “It makes you embarrassed to be from the state of Kansas.�

Criticism of state government spilled into the portion of the forum featuring Democratic Douglas County Commissioner Mike Gaughan and his primary opponent, Greg Robinson.

Gaughan said state budget cuts were forcing counties across Kansas to raise property taxes to fund mental health services and other government functions. But Robinson said local governments need to stop giving money away in tax incentives to developers.

Both Gaughan and Robinson said it would be a good idea to look at possible consolidation of some city and county services, but they said that would be politically difficult to achieve.

On other issues in the

legislative races, Sloan, Highberger and Hodgson supported the state’s renewable energy standards that require utilities to produce 20 percent of their electricity by renewable sources by 2020. Pierce said he opposed the renewable standards.

Sloan, Highberger and Hodgson also criticized the state’s photo-ID requirement to vote and proof of citizenship to register to vote, saying instances of voter fraud were almost nonexistent, while the proof of citizenship requirement was putting at risk thousands of Kansans’ votes. But Pierce said he supported the requirements.

In addition, Highberger, Hodgson and Sloan voiced support for the Common Core standards for reading and math, while Pierce said he would vote to repeal the standards.

but the candidates said the cuts will prevent the state from raising sufficient revenue to properly fund education, public safety and social services.

Only Sloan’s opponent in the GOP primary, Jeremy Ryan Pierce, defended the tax cuts, saying that looming state budget problems can be avoided by “reducing the size of government.�

Their comments came during a candidate forum at Lawrence City Hall that was sponsored by the nonpartisan Voter Education Coalition and Channel 6.

Concerning the budget problems, which have drawn national attention, combined with the conservative social agenda of

Pittsburg (ap) — Plans for a centralized technical education center in southeast Kansas are closer to reality, thanks to a $1 million gift from the Bicknell Foundation.

The proposed center will house several technical education courses currently offered to high school students and adults by Fort Scott Community College in cooperation with the five school districts in Crawford County.

The $1 million gift, announced this week, will help to buy a building and 18 acres, as well as providing room for expanded programs, The Joplin Globe reported.

The programs include vocational education offerings such as construction, masonry, welding, culinary arts and other trades. High school students and non-traditional students earn certifica-

— Blake Benson, Pittsburg Area Chamber of Commerce director tion and skills for employment. A timeline for development will be set after backers of the project raise another $300,000.

Pittsburg Area Chamber of Commerce Director Blake Benson said the gift could be the most critical piece of the region’s economic future. “We’re at a point now where with our growth, we’ve outstripped our labor supply,� Benson said. “With unemployment fluctuating between 4 and 5 percent,

we’re essentially at full employment. Our local businesses are having to go elsewhere to find skilled employees.

That’s not ideal for the businesses, or those that may be looking for work that don’t have the right skills for the jobs available.�

The WEA includes representatives from Fort Scott Community College, Pittsburg State University, the school districts, businesses and industry, Crawford County and the City of Pittsburg.

The group has agreed to use a building owned

by Vinylplex in the Pittsburg Industrial Park to house the center. The building and 18 acres is expected to cost about $890,000 with expansion and additional parking costing another $400,000, Benson said.

BRIEFLY Two pavers banned from Kansas Two door-to-door pavers were banned from doing business in Kansas and were ordered to repay a total of $8,500 to customers in the state.

Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt said Wednesday that George H. Swartz and James J. Swartz were ordered to repay one Lawrence and two Topeka consumers and were permanently prohibited from doing business in the state for violating the Kansas Consumer Protection Act. The two Swartz men operated under several business names, including All Star Asphalt, All Star Paving, Asphalt Solutions and All Star Asphalt Paving, Schmidt said.

The defendants admitted that they violated the consumer protection act by failing to provide customers with completed receipts, failing to advise customers of their three-day right to cancel services and cashing consumers’ checks in less than five business days, Schmidt said.

Schmidt warns consumers to be cautious about door-to-door home repair sales people claiming to offer good deals.

Cemetery tour set for Fourth of July Lawrence Parks and Recreation will offer a guided tour of veterans’ graves in Oak Hill Cemetery for the July Fourth holiday.

The tour will make stops at the graves of veterans and provide information about them and what they might have seen. The tour will run from 10 a.m. to noon at the cemetery, 1605 Oak Hill Ave. Participants are asked to meet at the veteran’s plot in the cemetery to begin the tour.

Bob Wandel, who has worked to raise funds for securing gravestones for veterans of the Civil and Spanish-American wars, will lead the tour, according to a city news release.

A Kansas City, Kan., man was indicted on federal charges of robbing a Lawrence credit union, U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom said Wednesday.

Antonio P. Gaitan, 35, is charged with one count of bank robbery, after an April 5 robbery at Truity Credit Union, 3400 W. 6th St., Grissom said.

Gaitan is currently in federal custody and faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in federal prison and a fine of up to $250,000 if he is convicted.

Lawrence police and the FBI investigated the incident, and U.S. Attorney Mike Warner is prosecuting.

t’s a given that on every Fourth of July wherever you may be, when the sun goes down the sky will explode in a kaleidoscope of colors to celebrate Independence Day; however, it’s not a given that you’ll have a primo viewing spot of the fireworks display.

This year’s local fireworks show — brought to you by the Lawrence Jaycees — will shoot off around 9:45 p.m. from the levee behind Johnny’s Tavern in North Lawrence. Check out some of the top spots in town to take in the explosive Friday night surrounded by friends, family and other community members, with a bit of live music and local eats mixed in.

Washburn added East Coast braces for holiday storm to investigation list “

With the wind coming, if I’m not even worried about plants. we get a 50-mph gust, it will knock Charleston, S.C. — As one of this one. I’m more worried over my tomato plants.” (ap) — The has violated the law, only the year’s busiest travel weekends about my tomato plants.”

Still, Gov. Pat McCrory declared Associated Press

Baltimore U.S. Department of Education has added 12 colleges and universities, including Washburn University in Topeka, to its growing list of educational institutions being investigated for their handling of sexual abuse allegations.

In May, the Department’s Office for Civil Rights made public the names of schools under investigation for possible violations of Title IX, which prohibits gender discrimination at institutions receiving federal funds. It pledged to update the log on a weekly basis. The most recent version of the list was published on Wednesday, and now includes 67 schools.

The schools on the list range from small colleges to large universities, across 32 states.

Some of the investigations came from complaints made to the Department, while others were launched following compliance reviews.

The Department has said just because a school is listed does not mean it

Death CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

the Lawrence Death Cafe, held in a Pilates studio in west Lawrence, the chatter flowed from end-of-life planning to suicide to the animated film “How to Train Your Dragon 2.”

“Once the conversation gets going, it’s hard to stop,” Constance Whiston said in opening the discussion.

Whiston, 65, brought the idea to her hometown of Lawrence after attending the Kansas City Death Cafe. She has been on a lifelong spiritual quest, she says, a reaction to her strict Baptist upbringing.

The death cafe concept itself came from the mind of Swiss sociologist Bernard Crettaz, who wanted to lessen the taboo surrounding death.

The idea was formalized

that it is under investigation. The list does not include any details about what prompted complaints.

Morgan State University spokesman Clinton Coleman said the complaint against the school, filed on June 26, was over sexual assault that occurred on campus during the 2014 spring semester.

Coleman said the assault took place in February, but was not reported until late March. The incident was referred to the Baltimore City Police Department, he said.

Morgan State University, University of Delaware, University of Richmond and Elmira College acknowledged that they are cooperating with the Office of Civil Rights.

Other newly named schools include the University of Alaska System of Higher Education; Colorado State University in Fort Collins; Berklee College of Music in Boston; Missouri University of Science and Technology in Rolla; and The University of Akron in Ohio.

approaches, so does another visitor: Tropical Storm Arthur, expected to grow into a hurricane by the Fourth of July and hit most harshly at North Carolina’s Outer Banks, a popular getaway spot of thin barrier islands along the shore.

The first named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season prompted a hurricane warning for a wide swath of the North Carolina coast and had officials, hotel owners and would-be vacationers as far north as New England carefully watching forecasts. The storm was enough of a concern that officials in Boston decided to move the annual Boston Pops July 4th concert and fireworks show up by a day because of potential heavy rain Friday night. And riptides were a threat as far north as New Jersey.

The Outer Banks will be especially vulnerable, forecasters said.

Officials ordered a mandatory evacuation of Hatteras Island starting at 5 a.m. this morning. Home to the famous Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, the island is a narrow spit of land, and the two-lane North Carolina Highway 12 is the only way to the mainland other than ferries to the south. Twice in recent years, storm-driven waves have sliced N.C. 12, rendering it impassable.

A voluntary evacuation was announced earlier for the Outer Banks’ Ocracoke Island, which is

by a spiritually minded Englishman and his psychotherapist mother and has since spread to nearly 1,000 locations in 19 countries. The Lawrence Death Cafe is believed to be the first and only of its kind in Kansas.

“I feel like here in the United States we’re running from it,” Tammy Sabol, 53, said about death.

That leaves many people unprepared for the end of life, she said, causing them to live out their final months, say, breathing through a tube in a hospital bed. Attendee Kathy Cook, of Lawrence, said she opted not to go into the medical field for that very reason: She wasn’t sure if she agreed with the philosophy of keeping people alive at any cost.

“So I decided to be an art major,” said Cook, 37.

Vicki Julian, a Lawrence writer, gave the group copies of a document she created to help

with end-of-life planning: It included spaces to fill out everything from where you put your safety deposit box keys to what bills you have on automatic debit. “My husband had done such a good job of preparation I wanted to make sure I passed that on to my sons,” said Julian, 63, who sent her husband’s ashes into space two years ago as part of a private rocket launch.

Sabol, an aspiring writer from Lawrence, recalled a conversation she had with her son, who was 8 at the time, after he read a book in school about death. “I said, ‘What do you think happens when you die, Jackson?’ He said, ‘I think when you go up, you get to decide what you want to come back as. If you’re done being a person, you get to come back as a dog. If you don’t want to do that you can come back as a horse. If you don’t want

to do that, you can come back as an angel.’”

“At 8, this thought process was going on,” Sabol said. “I think it’s with us all the time. You can’t have life without death in your life.”

Whiston, though, wondered how young is too young to grapple with mortality. She said she recently brought her 6and 8-year-old grandkids to a showing of “How to Train Your Dragon 2” and questioned if it was appropriate that the film depicted the death and funeral of the hero’s father. Sure enough, after the movie Whiston’s 6-year-old asked her what that was all about.

Whiston said she tried to explain as best she could, but her granddaughter remained confused.

One thing the nine women at the recent Lawrence Death Cafe had in common was that they all seemed to be searching. For the right faith. For the answers on

what comes next. For, well, the meaning of it all.

But the group didn’t invite easily labeling — there was a Wiccan next to a devout Lutheran next to a self-proclaimed clairvoyant. Some of them could safely be described as free spirits, while several were interested in the metaphysical realm. A few seemed to be trying to come to terms with their own mortality.

“I’m 85, so I’m very interested in death these days,” said Barbara Jean Umholtz, a retired Lawrence Public Library employee. “I’ve been so busy trying to live and survive up until this point, so I haven’t thought a lot about it.”

“I’m getting older. I’m in the last third of life.

It’s not extremely far away,” said Bonnie Uffman, a 68-year-old semiretired psychotherapist from Lawrence. “It’s a question maybe I think

Other areas of the Outer Banks were taking a cautious, but still-optimistic approach: No evacuations had been ordered for areas north of Hatteras, including the popular town of Kill Devil Hills, which was the site of the Wright brothers’ first controlled, powered airplane flights in December 1903.

Tourism officials expect about 250,000 people to visit the Outer Banks and stay in hotels and rental homes for the long holiday weekend. “We want everybody to be safe and prepared, but we are not overly concerned at this point,” said Lee Nettles, the executive director the Outer Banks Visitors Bureau. He noted that forecasters were predicting the storm would move fast and be less severe than others in locals’ memories.

Stores saw runs on generators, lanterns and flashlights, but even some workers weren’t yet concerned.

“I’ve been through Irene. I went through Isabelle,” said Bill Motley, who works at Ace Hardware in Nags Head and has lived on the Outer Banks for 13 years. “I’m not even worried about this one. I’m more worried about my tomato

“Don’t put your stupid hat on,” he said, as he urged surfers and swimmers not to get in the water regardless of how good the waves might be.

“Our major goal is to ensure that no lives are lost during this upcoming storm,” including those of emergency workers, McCrory said.

In Boston, officials said the July 4th Boston Pops concert was being rescheduled to today, which appears to be the best of two potential bad weather days — although it could also be canceled if the weather is bad enough, said State Police Col. Timothy Alben.

By Wednesday night, the storm was 180 miles southeast of Charleston, S.C. The National Hurricane Center predicted it would grow to a Category 1 hurricane with sustained winds of at least 74 mph by this morning.

The worst of the storm should occur at Cape Hatteras about dawn Friday, with 3 to 5 inches of rain and sustained winds up to 85 mph, said Tony Saavedra, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service. But forecasters said that by later Friday, the effects of Arthur would be past the Outer Banks, with the rest of the weekend salvaged.

about more personally now than I did in my earlier years.”

Sabol told the story of how her father lost his faith in God after a neardeath experience where he flat-lined and saw nothing.

“How did he know he was dead if there was nothing there?” Whiston asked.

“He saw nothing.

There was no light. They told him he had died,” Sabol said.

“And there was nothing?” Whiston asked.

“There was nothing,” Sabol said. “But do we put that out there for ourselves where we are going? Is that light the spirit we left behind?

That type of stuff fascinates me. ... I want to know what people are experiencing, what their journeys are. We’re all going to the same place.”

APPLE MINT BOURBON ICED TEA It’s absolutely mandatory to sip on an iced tea this summer, whether there’s a porch in your life or not. The Jayhawker bar at the Eldridge has a featured iced tea cocktail that meets all seasonal criteria: refreshing, fruity and flavored with fresh summer herbs.

The apple mint bourbon iced tea is straightforward as far as ingredients go: Bulleit bourbon, apple juice, lemon juice, finely chopped mint and unsweetened black tea.

Only one liquor in the mix, the rye holds a strong presence in this cocktail, the overpowering whiskey flavor making it a long-lasting beverage to savor. Squeeze the lemon garnish in the glass for just an extra kick of citrus.

Because of the high alcohol content, the bartender can add more apple juice or tea to tinker with the concoction to cut back on the potency.

The hard stuff: Bulleit Bourbon Where it’s served: The Eldridge, 701 Massachusetts St.

Good choice Picking a former member to fill the vacancy on the Lawrence school board was a good move.

L

ast year, Bob Byers lost his bid to be re-elected to the Lawrence school board, but on Monday he got another chance to serve when he was appointed to fill an unexpired term on the board.

The board needed someone to serve on the board for just one year to finish the term of Keith Diaz Moore who resigned his post to take a job in another city. Board members had a strong list of qualified people who were interested in filling that seat.

Byers was a good choice for a number of reasons. Because he had previously served four years on the board, he will be able to step in relatively quickly without the learning curve that would face someone who hadn’t served before. Although he was defeated, Byers also had illustrated his commitment to the board by running for re-election in 2013.

In addition to his solid experience with the board, Byers also has spent 32 years as a social worker in child welfare, a perspective that should prove valuable to the board.

As noted in an earlier editorial, we hope the 12 applicants who weren’t selected for the vacant board post will seriously consider running for the school board in 2015. The community benefits by having a strong group of committed individuals from which to pick its representatives on the school board. Serving on the board is an often-thankless, but important job and it would be great to see a sizable field of qualified candidates on the ballot next April.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for July 3, 1914: “Preparations are being completed for the celebration at years Woodland park tomorrow. The ago management is looking for a IN 1914 large crowd if the day is pleasant. Some novelty events in the way of pony racing and mule racing have been added to the program. There will be band music all day, merry-go-’round, roller coasting, and in the evening dancing and motion pictures. The ball game in the afternoon will be a strong attraction. Two good teams are matched and there will be plenty of spice in the game.”

“The people of the South Side are becoming impatient at the delay in building the new school buildings. They will have a meeting tonight at the Holloway and Jones Hall to discuss the matter and to see if there is any way in which they can hurry matters. They want the buildings completed so that their children will not have to go so far to school.”

Cheney still helping destroy Iraq For Dick Cheney, Iraq means never having to say you’re sorry.

His recent interviews damning President Obama for losing Iraq make him sound as if he’s suffering from amnesia. But memory loss has not blotted out his central role in creating the Iraq mess. He just refuses to admit he made any errors.

His willful blindness doesn’t only distort the past; it also helped create a terrorist haven in Iraq that didn’t exist before America invaded. And his hubris dims any future chance of driving out the terrorists.

Let us count the ways in which the former veep made our Iraq troubles worse.

There’s no room here to rehash the deliberately distorted intelligence he used to

justify the invasion. But note Cheney’s ignorance of the country he was taking on.

He swallowed the claims of Ahmed Chalabi, his favorite Iraqi expat, that the country’s Shiites would embrace us, that the Iraqi army should be disbanded and the Sunnis broken. Cheney also believed that Iraq was ripe for democracy (with Chalabi as its leader) and that Iran would be the next domino to fall.

He was wrong on all counts and refused to listen to those who knew better.

Chalabi had no followers in Iraq after spending 30 years abroad. Most poor Shiites distrusted Americans; they had not forgotten that George H.W. Bush called on them to rebel in 1991

did successfully in the past.

That might have headed off the present crisis.

Yet it is simply wrong to say, as Cheney does, that all was well with Iraq when he left the White House. Yes, Ambassador Ryan Crocker and Gen. David Petraeus had rescued Cheney and his boss from their self-made disaster, and Obama should have tried harder to maintain those gains. But Iraq’s institutions had been broken by the U.S. invasion, and its shaky new foundation was all too susceptible to collapse.

Equally key, the wretched mistakes made on Cheney’s watch soured the American public on further involvement in the troubled country.

Americans remember the money wasted on projects Iraqis never needed and the troops who died because the Pentagon failed to provide body armor or up-armored humvees in Cheney’s time.

Our country is weary of Iraq. The polls show it. My email shows it. Even the Republican Party is split on any future involvement in Baghdad. Americans don’t want to hear about the terrorist threat emanating from Iraq — even though it is real now in a way that it wasn’t in 2003. The public doubts this threat because Cheney twisted the truth last time.

The former veep’s arrogance is so infuriating that it blinds many Americans to the danger posed by jihadis in Syria and Iraq who are training Europeans and Americans. Anything he says is assumed to be hype.

Cheney’s constant castigation of Obama blinds many on the right to the fact that the president is finally doing the right things. Secretary of State John Kerry is belatedly pressing the benighted Maliki to reach out to Sunnis (and privately encouraging all of Iraq’s factions to seek another leader). He is warning Iran and Saudi Arabia that fueling a Shiite-Sunni holy war in Iraq threatens the whole region - and the world.

Kerry may be too late.

There may be no option left other than containing the new jihadistan that spans eastern Syria and western Iraq.

But one thing is certain: American bombs at this point can achieve little until there is more inclusive leadership in Baghdad that persuades Sunni tribesmen to stop supporting the jihadis. This won’t happen without intense U.S. diplomacy. Right now, Kerry and Obama need to focus nonstop on Iraq.

If Cheney wants to be useful, he should encourage such a White House focus while showing some humility. Or else he just should just shut up.

Instead, he is fueling the fury of those on the right who oppose anything Obama does, as well as those on the left who disbelieve anything Cheney endorses. This will increase domestic opposition to any coherent policy.

Full of righteous indignation, Cheney is once again helping to destroy Iraq.

and then let Saddam Hussein crush them. From these disaffected Shiites emerged the radical Mahdi Army and other Shiite militias that now look to Iran.

Indeed, contrary to Cheney’s dreams, the ouster of Saddam and the rise of Iraq’s Shiite majority gave Iran unprecedented influence in Baghdad. In recent days, the most powerful man in the Iraqi capital has been Gen. Qassem Suleimani, head of the Quds force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards.

In Cheney’s time, Sunnis were marginalized, leading Sunni tribes to link up with al-Qaida offshoots — something we are seeing again, with disastrous results. And the Iraqi army was never able to rebuild as a national force after it was dissolved on Cheney’s watch. Witness its collapse this month.

None of this excuses Obama’s contribution to the current crises in Iraq and Syria.

While Cheney overreached, Obama did far too little. He never developed a strategy to deal with the rise of al-Qaida offshoots in Syria or their return to Iraq. He paid scant attention to the sectarian maneuvers of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki in Baghdad, which pushed frustrated Sunnis to align, once again, with jihadis.

The Obama White House made too little effort to ensure that there would be a small follow-on U.S. force in Iraq after 2011. Such a force would have provided leverage for U.S. officials to mediate between Iraq’s sectarian factions, as they

Ban is better

our city and county leaders should work together to restrict the sale of fireworks within Douglas County.

Any firework sold in Douglas County should be legal to use in the city of Lawrence.

The reason for the ban stems from a few irresponsible people using fireworks. I doubt these people have stopped due to the ban. Instead, the ban only penalizes responsible people from using fireworks. The ban was passed due to concerns about fires, in particular homes or apartments being damaged. These fires are due to aerial fireworks and those should be the focus of any sales ban or restriction, not fireworks such as fountains which are not going to cause buildings to be set on fire.

Under the current ban people are forced to choose between foregoing their own celebration of our country’s independence, which for many is a tradition dating back to childhood, and breaking the law. From the looks of things, it’s obvious the choice people are making. Our leaders need to recognize this and change the law.

Timothy G. Riling, Lawrence

To the editor: Not so fast, patriotic pyromaniacs!

There is more than the usual push this year to forego Lawrence’s fireworks ban over the Independence Day holiday. Apparently, people have short memories. The fireworks ban was created because things were completely out of control in the city.

My neighborhood was so thick with smoke that it looked like a war zone.

Several neighbors that I get along with the rest of the year turned into complete jerks once they got their hands on some aerial bombs, drinking and shooting them off all night long for days. I couldn’t get any sleep and it was a nightmare for my dog. In the mornings, all the street corners were covered in litter from the night before.

And later on, when my gutters got cleaned, evidence of stray bottle rockets was never a surprise.

The ban is imperfect but things have sure improved since it was enacted and seem to be getting better every year. Give people an inch and they will take a mile. Our fire department knows this. They are the experts. Let’s be smart and follow their recommendation to keep the ban. Burned houses, injured children and traumatized pets To the editor: are not patriotic.

On June 27, the J-W had an impresSally Piller, sive diversity of views on the Opinion Lawrence Page. There was conservative George Will, counterbalanced by the ultraconservative Cal Thomas.

To the editor: Will admired the tea party for its Rather than place the burden of en- near-miss in Mississippi while ignorforcing what has proven to be an unen- ing the corrosive influence that radiforceable law on the Lawrence police, cal faction has had on our national

politics. The tea party that Will encourages is significantly funded by the Koch brothers although it purports to be a populist organization. It opposes all policies that benefit common folks, like raising the minimum wage and properly funding our schools.

Cal Thomas quotes a bizarre character named Steve Goddard and his misnamed blog Real Science to refute global warming. Only problem is Steve Goddard is not a climate scientist, he’s just a contrarian.

As 97 percent of the world’s climate scientists attest, global warming is real and happening now.

The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change issued a report in March 2014 stating that severe and pervasive effects of climate change will be felt everywhere in the world.

Will it take Miami, New Orleans and other cities getting swallowed by the sea to convince Republican pundits and politicians?

There is no debate. Let’s stop giving credibility to climate change deniers.

Washington — Five years after the Great Recession officially ended, most states still haven’t regained all the jobs they lost, even though the nation as a whole has.

In May, the overall economy finally recovered all 9 million jobs that vanished in the worst downturn since the 1930s.

Another month of solid hiring is expected in the U.S. jobs report for June that will be released today.

But 32 states still have fewer jobs than when the recession began in December 2007 — evidence of the unevenness and persistently slow pace of the recovery.

Even though economists declared the recession over in June 2009, Illinois is still down 184,000 jobs from prerecession levels. New Jersey is down 147,000.

The sluggish job market could weigh on voters in some key states when they go to the polls this

fall. A Quinnipiac University poll out Wednesday found that voters named the economy by far the biggest problem facing the United States.

The states where hiring lags the most tend to be those that were hit most painfully by the recession: They lost so many jobs that they’ve struggled to replace them all.

Nevada, which suffered a spectacular real estate bust and four years of double-digit unemployment — has fared worst. It has 6 percent fewer jobs than it did in December 2007.

Tensions build after 4th teen death

Iraqi P.M. warns of broad ISIS threat

Washington — A lawyer for a Libyan militant charged in the 2012 Benghazi attacks said Wednesday that she had seen no evidence tying her client to the violence, but a judge nonetheless directed Ahmed Abu Khattala to remain in custody as the Justice Department builds its case against him.

The lawyer, Michelle Peterson, conceded that Abu Khattala had no reasonable chance of being released at the moment, given the terrorism-related charge he faces and his lack of ties to the United States. But she also argued that prosecutors had failed to show, in their broad and initial outlines of the case, that he was in any way connected to the Sept.

11, 2012, attacks that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.

Abu Khattala appeared in court wearing a green prison jumpsuit and with a long, graying beard. He listened to the proceedings through headphones as an interpreter translated the conversation.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael DiLorenzo recited some of the basic allegations of the case, telling U.S. Magistrate Judge Deborah Robinson that there were no conditions under which Abu Khattala could be released that would ensure the safety of the community.

Jerusalem — The Palestinians accused Israeli extremists of abducting and killing an Arab teenager and burning his body Wednesday, sparking hours of clashes in east Jerusalem and drawing charges that the youth was murdered to avenge the killings of three kidnapped Israeli teens.

Seeking to calm the explosive situation, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged a swift inquiry into the “reprehensible murder” and called on people to respect the rule of law. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said it was clear extremist Jewish settlers were responsible and called on Israel to bring the killers to justice.

The death added to the already heightened tensions caused by the killings of the three Israeli teenagers, whose bodies were discovered Monday just over two weeks after they disappeared in the West Bank. Israel accused Hamas, the Islamic militant group that controls Gaza, of being behind the abductions, which led to the largest ground operation in the West Bank in nearly a decade, with Israel arresting hundreds of Hamas operatives as part of a broad manhunt.

Baghdad — Fresh from success in Iraq, a Sunni extremist group tried to tighten its hold Wednesday on territory in Syria and crush pockets of resistance on land straddling the border where it has declared the foundation of an Islamic state.

Embattled Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki warned the entire region is endangered by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, whose gunmen have rampaged across his country in recent weeks. Facing pressure to step aside, al-Maliki said the focus must be on countering the threat — not wholesale leadership changes.

The militant group has fed off the chaos and supercharged sectarian atmosphere of Syria’s civil war to seize control of a large chunk of territory there. With its recent blitz across Iraq, it has expanded its gains while also effectively erasing the border between the two countries.

Its assault in Iraq appears to have slowed after sweeping across the predominantly Sunni Arab areas and encountering stiff resistance in Shiite-majority regions. But in Syria, the group has forged ahead with an offensive against towns and villages held by rival rebels along the Euphrates River in the eastern province bordering Iraq.

FREE STATE SENIOR GUARD ANDREW KEATING WORKS through dribbling drills on Wednesday at Free State High.

So far, so good for FSHS hoops

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

For a group of players who don’t have much varsity experience and haven’t played in many games together, Free State’s boys basketball team has to be pleased so far this summer.

The Firebirds went 5-3 in the KAMO boys’ team shootout a few weeks ago and also played well against opponents in a summer league at Blue Valley West.

They might not boast the size or athleticism of other teams but that hasn’t stopped them from making progress throughout the summer and competing against traditionally strong schools.

“From the first tournament to the KAMO … the KAMO, we played really good,” senior Justin Narcomey said. “I think we came Elite 8 or something like that in the (varsity) bracket. I was really happy.

We competed with every team. Besides, (one) game, I think we either won or lost by like 5. It was close every game.”

The Firebirds will play in the Lawrence MAYB Tournament this weekend, and send some of the younger players to a tournament in Eudora next week as the team summer workouts come to a close by the end of the month.

“The KAMO tournament was good for us,” FSHS coach Chuck Law said.

“We played a lot of good competition. We competed very well. We had a couple of games where we didn’t make shots, and we’re going to be pretty dependent on making shots because we’re perimeter (team) based on our personnel.

But other than that, it was a really good weekend for us.”

After losing seven seniors to graduation, Narcomey and senior Weston Hack are left as the main players who return from the varsity rotation last season. Now, they’re learning to play in bigger roles and with new faces.

“The chemistry is coming together,” Narcomey said. “Some of these people, we’ve never played really much with, except at workouts. Now we’re getting actual game experience with them, and we’re developing good chemistry and just know where people will be and where to get good Please see FSHS, page 5B

KANSAS UNIVERSITY FRESHMAN KELLY OUBRE PUTS ON A SHOW FOR CAMPERS during a KU summer camp on June 10 at Horejsi Center.

KU’s Oubre faces NBA MVP

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Most incoming Kansas University basketball players spend the summer before their freshman seasons finetuning their games in high school gyms or in Lawrence.

KU freshman Kelly Oubre recently spent part of his summer matching up against one of the best players in the world.

Oubre returned to Lawrence earlier this week after a three-day stint at the Kevin Durant Skills Academy in Washington, D.C. It marked back-to-back invitations to the clinic for Oubre, a 6-foot7, 200-pound wing who was Rivals.com’s No. 6-ranked player in the Class of 2014 and a McDonald’s All-American.

A counselor this year, Oubre said the only difference from his experience as a prep was the intensity of the workouts.

“We worked out five times in the span of three days, and our workouts were pretty intense because there were NBA scouts there watching us,” Oubre said Wednesday. “We just went hard and pushed each other. Everybody wants to prove that they’re the best.”

“

He said he was impressed by my game.

And I learned a lot from him. His words and encouragement definitely pushed me to get better.”

— Kansas freshman Kelly Oubre on matching up against NBA star Kevin Durant at Durant’s summer camp In fact, several people told Oubre his performance was one of the best at this year’s event. Perhaps that was because he had the unique opportunity to guard and be guarded by Durant himself, a challenge Oubre said was equal parts exciting and intense.

“I did well,” Oubre said of his matchups with the reigning NBA MVP. “I don’t Durant like to take no for an answer or let people get off. We went at it. Pretty much my drive matched his drive and it was a lot of fun.”

Oubre said he went to the camp hoping to show off his

improved jump shot and enhance his point guard skills — something he hopes will make him the best all-around player he can be — and left with an even higher appreciation for Durant’s greatness.

“I really admire his humble attitude,” Oubre said.

“He loves to be in the gym continuing to get better, and that’s definitely something I could take from him. You always have to be hungry. Even though he’s the MVP, he’s in the gym working out with us and then the next morning he’s in there again before we even get there.

“He said he was impressed by my game. And I learned a lot from him. His words and encouragement definitely pushed me to get better.”

By now, attending highprofile summer camps has become fairly routine for Oubre, who also attended the LeBron James Skills Academy last summer and has been invited to make a repeat appearance there July 8-12 in Las Vegas.

But spending time around some of the game’s greats hasn’t caused Oubre to become complacent.

Minneapolis (ap) — The Kansas City Royals have played well away from home. They’re consistently capable of winning with only a couple of runs.

If they can keep this up for the summer, they’ll probably be right there in the pennant race at the end.

Jason Vargas threw seven scoreless innings, Raul Ibanez homered in his second game for Kansas City and the Royals beat the Minnesota Twins 4-0 Wednesday.

“We’ve been running the ball out there and doing a Vargas good job of keeping our team in the ballgame, and when we’re not the boys are stepping up and keeping us in the ballgame,” Vargas said. “So we’ve got a good combo going on right now.”

Vargas (8-3) allowed four singles and two walks while striking out five, allowing only two runners from a diluted Twins lineup to reach second base. Only five of their 21 outs against him were outfield flies.

“He’s got all the pitches,” Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said.

Mike Moustakas and Jarrod Dyson hit RBI singles in the second inning against Kevin Correia (4-10), and that was all Vargas needed.

With Joe Mauer missing, placed on the disabled list before the game because of a strained muscle on his right side, the Twins didn’t cause Vargas any trouble.

They were shut out for the sixth time this season and lost for the seventh time in their last nine games.

“Obviously you have to score to win,” said Correia, the league leader in losses.

“It’s tough. It’s a good pitching staff they have. It’s going to happen.”

With rookie Yordano Ventura and now Danny Duffy joining the veteran trio of Vargas, James Shields and Jeremy Guthrie, who are all in the top 10 in the league in innings pitched, the Royals have a deep rotation. They’ve pitched well enough to make up for substandard seasons by several key hitters.

Vargas improved to 4-1 in his last eight starts, seven of which have counted as quality: six innings or more and three runs or less. Vargas also became the first Royals left-hander to win eight games or more before the All-Star break since Chris George in 2003.

“I thought he was splendid,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “He was pretty much in complete control.”

The 42-year-old Ibanez signed Monday with the Royals, the team that first gave him a regular spot in the lineup all the way back in 2001. He had two hits and two runs in this game, including the solo shot to right field in the eighth.

Ibanez was released by the Los Angeles Angels last month.

Eric Hosmer, who walked three times, added an RBI single in the ninth inning for insurance.

The Royals won their fifth straight road series.

After losing eight of 12 following a 10-game winning streak, Vargas put them back on track. l

London (ap) — The silence at Centre Court made abundantly clear that Andy Murray’s time as Wimbledon champion was coming to a close.

Out of sorts from the start of his quarterfinal against upand-coming Grigor Dimitrov on Wednesday, Murray — who in 2013 ended Britain’s 77-year wait for one of its own to win the men’s title at the All England Club — sailed an awkward backhand slice long to fall behind by a set and a break.

The crowd of nearly 15,000, usually so vociferous in support of Murray, sat quietly, perhaps not prepared to believe what was happening. All along, Murray’s body language was as negative as his play: He gnawed on his knuckle after seeing an ace zip past; slapped his forehead with his palm after one forehand found the net; bowed his head and slumped his shoulders after another did the same.

When one last forehand fell short, the magical ride ended for Murray and his fans with a 6-1, 7-6 (4), 6-2 loss to the 11thseeded Dimitrov, who became the first man from Bulgaria to reach a Grand Slam semifinal.

“I have very good memories from that court out there. It’s a special court for me,” said Murray, who lost the 2012 Wimbledon final there, won that year’s London Olympics gold medal there, then won his historic title 12 months ago there. “I mean, you can have bad days as an athlete. You don’t win all of the time. Sometimes you just have to take it on the chin and move on.”

He hadn’t lost a set in his first four matches, but made 37 unforced errors Wednesday, more than twice as many as Dimitrov.

NBA’s top free agent guard, Lowry, agrees to stay with Raptors Toronto — Kyle Lowry is staying with the Toronto Raptors after leading them to the Atlantic Division title.

The point guard has agreed to re-sign with the Raptors, his agent confirmed Wednesday night. Yahoo Sports reported that the deal was for four years and $48 million.

Lowry averaged career highs of 17.9 points and 7.4 assists for the Raptors, who were one of the NBA’s biggest surprises in going 48-34. They were expected to be one of league’s worst teams, particularly after trading forward Rudy Gay early in the season, but instead nearly reached the Eastern Conference semifinals before falling to Brooklyn in seven games.

They were led by their guard tandem of Lowry and All-Star DeMar DeRozan, who will be staying together.

Lowry posted a picture of himself on Twitter in a Raptors jersey, writing that Toronto would be his home city.

He was considered the top point guard available and reportedly targeted by contending teams such as Miami and Houston during free agency before deciding to stay put.

Contracts can’t be signed until July 10.

Lowry has also played for Memphis and Houston, which traded him to Toronto in 2012. The 2006 first-round pick by the Grizzlies out of Villanova has career averages of 11.7 points and 5.4 assists.

The project, which is expected to take six weeks, began last Wednesday.

Leavenworth star commits to KU women’s hoops J-W Staff Reports

The Kansas University women’s basketball program picked up another commitment from an in-state standout in the Class of 2015 on Wednesday night.

Tyler Johnson, a 6-foot-2 forward from Leavenworth High and the daughter of former Oklahoma University standout David Johnson, joined Olathe South point guard Kylee Kopatich as Kansans who orally committed to KU coach Bonnie Henrickson’s latest recruiting class. Kopatich committed to KU back in April after originally picking Kansas State and changing her mind after the firing of then-KSU coach Deb Patterson.

Johnson, the No. 1-ranked player in the Sunflower State in the class of 2015 according to MaxPreps, helped lead the Pioneers to a Class 5A state championship last season. She earned firstteam all-state honors and averaged 15.6 points per game.

Johnson helped Leavenworth finish the season with a 24-1 record and played a huge part in the Pioneers’ roll through the state tournament, where they won three games by an average margin of victory of 22 points.

Johnson’s father, who stood 6-7, 265, played at OU from 1983-87 and was drafted in the fourth round of the 1987 NBA draft by the Dallas Mavericks.

“It feels normal to me now,” he said. “But it’s still Kevin Durant. He plays against the LeBrons and the Kobes and I’m not there yet. I always have to remember that he’s somewhere I want to be someday.”

Although he wore signature KD gear at the clinic instead of crimson and blue, Oubre said it was a thrill to attend as a Jayhawk.

“Everybody else was representing their schools and, for the first time, I got to represent something that was bigger than me,” he said. “I’m happy to be a Jayhawk and I’m gonna be a Jayhawk for life. Being able to represent Kansas out there was just a great feeling.”

Withey’s summer plans The New Orleans Pelicans announced Wednesday that former KU center Jeff Withey will be a part of the team’s summer league roster.

Withey, who played in 58 games and made four starts as a rookie with the Pelicans last season, averaged 3.3 points and 2.6 rebounds in 12 minutes per game.

New Orleans will open summer league action July 11 in Las Vegas.

Other confirmed Jayhawks for NBA summer leagues are: Tarik Black (Houston), Thomas Robinson (Portland), Ben McLemore (Sacramento) and Mario Little (Oklahoma City).

getting players to step up into new roles that ask more out of them as they prepare for the upcoming season. Fortunately, they still have plenty of time before November.

“We’ve got a lot of guys who are kind of used to being role players based on what they’ve been in the

program up to this particular point,” Law said. “Not among their roles was a leadership role. We’re going to have to some guys step up and provide that leadership and be more vocal. When you haven’t done that and that’s not what your personality is, it’s a real challenge.”

Jameson Shew Douglas County Clerk ________ (First published in the Lawrence Daily Journal-World, July 3, 2014) PUBLIC NOTICE The Supplemental Programmatic Environmental Assessment for Army 2020 Force Structure Realignment and Draft Finding of No Significant Impact (FNSI) are available for review and comment.

The Army’s proposed action is to reduce the Army’s Active Component end-strength from 562,000, as of the end of fiscal year 2012, to 420,000. Installations that were included in the SPEA are those that could experience a change in Soldiers and civilians that exceeds 1,000 personnel. Fort Leavenworth was one of the 30 analyzed in the SPEA. No significant environmental impacts are anticipated as a result of implementing Army 2020 alternatives, though socioeconomic impacts at most installations could be significant.

Alternatives considered in the SPEA evaluate the greatest force reduction scenarios that could occur as a result of Army force drawdown. Final decisions as to which installations will see reductions or unit realignments have not been made.

All interested members of the public, federally recognized Indian Tribes, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiian groups, federal, state, and local agencies are invited to review and provide comments. A copy of the SPEA and Draft FNSI is available at: http://aec.army.mil/Service s/Support/NEPA/Document s.aspx and in the following local libraries: Combined Arms Research Library, Eisenhower Hall 250 Gibbon Avenue, Fort Leavenworth, KS; Leavenworth Public Library, 417 Spruce Street, Leavenworth, KS; and The Platte City Library Branch 2702 N.W. Prairie View Road, Platte City MO. The Army will accept comments until August 25.

Please submit written comments or additional information to: U.S. Army Environmental Command, ATTN: SPEA Public Comments, 2450 Connell Road (Building 2264), Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston, TX 78234-7664; or by email to usarmy.jbsa.aec.nepa@mail .mil ________

Widower, 76, has problems dating women Dear Annie: I am a 76-year-old man. After 46 years of a happy marriage, my wife passed away four years ago.

I live in the country and have become acquainted with several single women around my age who are widows or divorcees. I have taken a few of them out to dinner or to a play. They go with me once or twice and won’t go again. They tell me they are too busy with their grandchildren.

I’ve never made inappropriate advances toward these women.

I’ve only asked for a little hug because I miss holding my wife. But it seems they do not want to be touched, and two of them told me that I am expecting too much.

I have never indicated that I wanted more than a hug. I’m not looking for a serious relationship. I am just extremely lonesome

and would like to have a companion to go places with and be together occasionally.

I’ve never really understood women, so I’m at a loss here. Do you have any suggestions? Please tell me what I’m doing wrong. — Lonesome Okie Dear Lonesome: We don’t know what you are doing wrong. If you are giving these women the impression that you want physical affection, but not a serious relationship,

NBC ushers ‘Undateable’ off the dial The night before our big national holiday is as good a night as any to wrap up, or burn off, the season for “Undateable.” For the uninitiated, it’s a sitcom about a self-styled swinger mentoring lovelorn 30-something dudes.

It’s as unoriginal as it sounds.

On four episodes of “Undateable” (NBC: Justin is shocked by the nonreaction to a romantic gesture (7 p.m.); an irksome neighbor comes between Danny and Justin (7:30 p.m.); a fundraiser goes too far (8 p.m.); Danny and Justin become romantic rivals (8:30 p.m.).

Prime-time repeat helpings abound as cable networks anticipate the big fireworks in marathon mode. AMC offers up “Rocky II” (6 p.m.) and “Rocky III” (8:30 p.m.). Look for three consecutive “Dirty Jobs” (7 p.m. to 9 p.m., Animal Planet); three “Kitchen Nightmares” (7 p.m. to 9 p.m., BBC America); and six episodes of “Food Factory” (7 p.m. to 10 p.m., Bio).

The Cooking Channel offers four helpings of “Eat St.” (7 p.m. to 9 p.m.), followed by two episodes of “Chuck’s Eat the Street” (9 p.m. and 9:30 p.m.). Two hours of “Chopped” (7 p.m. and 9 p.m., Food) bookend a “Chopped Canada” (8 p.m.).

Six episodes of “Unsealed” (8 p.m. to 11 p.m., Destination America) extol conspiracy theories and gibberish about aliens for the gullible and the bored. Game Show Network offers three helpings of “It Takes a Church” (7 p.m. to 9 p.m.).

History kicks off six episodes of “Pawn Stars” (7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.), while the American Heroes Channel offers three helpings of “The Revolutionary War” (7 p.m. to 9 p.m.).

Tonight’s other highlights

Leonard’s appointment irks Sheldon on “The Big Bang Theory” (7 p.m., CBS).

A tailgating challenge on “Hell’s Kitchen” (7 p.m. Fox).

A street musician’s hands betray him on “Black Box” (6 p.m., ABC).

Irisa’s blackouts concern Nolan on “Defiance” (6 p.m., Syfy).

they may not be interested. Asking for hugs on a first date may be too forward, or it may frighten them. We know you are lonely, but please slow down. You might be coming across as too needy, which is not attractive.

Get to know these women as friends first, and see where it leads.

to them that they would exclude us in this way? — Not a Happy Sister Dear Sister: Generally, it is wise to “cut” along the same family lines, so that, for example, you invite all first cousins or none of them. However, sometimes the bride or groom has a close relationship with some cousins and not others. In such cases, if the guest list is limited, it makes sense to invite those with whom you are closest. Is it possible that your children are especially distant from the bride? Have they had a falling out of which you are unaware? Unless there is a reason, we find this exclusion unnecessarily hurtful. We hope you can work through it.

Dear Annie: My brother’s daughter is getting married this summer. She’s having a huge wedding. All of the nieces, nephews and cousins are invited except our three daughters. My brother said they have to cut somewhere.

Should I just shrug this off? I told my mother that I’m so upset, I’m thinking of never seeing or speak— Send questions to ing to my brother again.

Is this a feeling I should anniesmailbox@comcast.net, be having? Should I ask or Annie’s Mailbox, P.O. Box 118190 Chicago, IL 60611. my brother what we did

turning over a new basil leaf

T

here aren’t many restaurants that had their humble beginnings at a small gas station mini-mart. Truth be told, you probably know exactly which restaurant I’m referring to, don’t

you?

No longer confined by the gas station decor of its past, Basil Leaf Café is hugely successful (to no one’s surprise) at its new location at 616 W. Ninth St. While I regret that I never paid a visit to the gas station version of this excellent Italian restaurant, one thing is for certain: I will make up for it — twofold — in visits to its downtown location.

Voted as the best Italian restaurant in this year’s Best of Lawrence, Basil Leaf has a serious fan base, and I can understand why.

My partner and I headed there on a Saturday for lunch, and while I was immediately impressed by the affordable menu, the positive impressions were just beginning. The interior is cozy, decorated with reclaimed wood, wine bottle light fixtures and flooded with southern light. The overall vibe is welcoming and comfortable, like that of a small-town diner.

There are no formal menus at Basil Leaf Café (it was a pleasant surprise to avoid the fussiness of table menus), so we placed our orders at the entryway counter before taking our seats.

I went for the Cajun Penne (if it’s got a kick, I’m usually sold), and my companion played it creamy with the Tortellini Cordon Bleu.

It seemed like no time at all before we were face to plate with steaming deliciousness from heaven above.

Our dishes not only smelled superb, but were also picture perfect.

I was temporarily in awe of the presentation before my stomach cried out for attention, reminding me of the purpose of this visit. With that, conversation died

We have tinker toys and stuffed animals and a miniature farm, but the only toys that really get played with are the trains. Which is why, when blessed with a free Memorial Day weekend, we decided to let the Kid see some real-live trains up close as we hopped on the Amtrak to St. Louis.

t’s time to downsize. More than half of the clothes in the closet have been untouched for about a year now, and the basement storage room is resembling some sort of hoarders situation worthy of a reality show.

All this mean it’s time to hold a garage sale. Before hauling the inventory up the stairs to the garage and putting signs on street corners, take some advice from local garage sale frequenters who have put on a sale (or five) in their day. Setting up shop in the garage isn’t as easy as you might think.

PICK A DATE

Lawrence resident Sally Neary, who’s held five garage sales, said the best time for a big sale is the weekend in August when college students head back into town. They buy furniture, dishes and anything they can use in their new apartments, she says.

One of the most important factors to consider when picking a date is making sure you can dedicate the whole day (or days) to manage the sale and chat with customers. Lawrence resident Kristi Becker swears by having a Thursday night preview to kick off two more seven-hour sales during the weekend.

“We opened for just a few hours and I’m pretty sure we made $400,” Becker said of a four-family garage sale last weekend at her house on Lawrence Avenue. “We had to stay open an extra hour because people kept coming through.”

SET THE SCENE

To avoid purchasing tables to display goods, Neary said, ask neighbors to borrow some for the day.

Yulich, Rowland and Becker used makeshift tables out of saw benches and chairs holding up a long plank of wood.

People will do a quick drive-by to see if it’s worth it before leaving the car.

“You want to put eye-catching things up front,” Becker said. Have a nice mix of tools, toys, furniture; something for everyone.

No one wants to dig through boxes, Becker said. Arrange books on a shelf (if it’s not for sale, label it as such) and neatly fold clothes and lay out an assortment in an easy-tobrowse way, Jordan said.

Post signs to clearly label different categories of items.

Arrange items in a way that makes sense (i.e. keep kids stuff at kid level).

“We had a tent set up so people could see exactly what it looks like,” Becker said. “People are more than willing to go for it when it’s not in a box.”

MAN/MAINTAIN THE STATION

Garage sale don’ts

Walk around and refold or reorganize any area that’s been tampered with to keep the clutter to a minimum.

Careful not to be doing any of these things at your sale: • Close early. You don’t know how far these people have come from to check out the loot, Rowland said. Stay open for the hours you advertised, rain or shine.

• Appear one-sided. Not everyone has kids, Becker said. Don’t just put out toys.

• Hold items without a payment. Some people won’t come back and you didn’t have the chance to offer it to anyone else, Rowland said.

• Put out a bunch of not-for-sale items.

People get frustrated, Jordan said.

• Keep it in the garage. Make a nice display on the driveway to lure them in, Becker said.

• Leave signs up. Don’t direct me to a sale that isn’t there, Rowland says.

DON’T LEAVE MONEY OUT

“People will walk away with it if you’re not careful,” Rowland said.

BE HONEST CLOSEOUT SALE

If it’s broken, shredded or worn, don’t sell it, Becker said. Keep a power strip, batteries and light bulbs on hand for customers to try out electronics.

“We had a bike with a tire that needed replacing, so we made sure the person knew before buying it,” Rowland said.

As the last hours wind down, turn it into a big markdown sale, Neary says. No one can pass up a good deal, and it’s less cleanup for you.

style down to a tee

I

t is the simplest piece of clothing in every man’s wardrobe: the classic T-shirt. If worn well, it can exude ease and relaxation as well as a keen sense of fashion.

The earliest T-shirts actually originated in the 19th century women’s reform movement. As an alternative to constricting undergarments, women fashioned what nowadays is called a “onesie” to break free from corsets. It wouldn’t take long, though, for men to adopt the comfortable flannel undergarment.

By the late 19th century, men were wearing one-piece “union suits” under their everyday work clothes. A few years later, miners and stevedores trying to escape hot conditions began cutting them along the waist into separate tops and bottoms.

The final step in the path to what we currently consider a T-shirt came during the Spanish-American War when the U.S. Navy issued crewnecked, short-sleeve, button-less shirts for sailors to wear underneath their uniforms. Aboard submarines and marching through hot climates, men took to wearing just their Navyissued undershirts in order to keep their uniform jacket clean.

Upon returning from the war and picking up the plow, soldiers carried on the tradition. Cheap, quick to throw on, and easy to clean, the T-shirt became widely popular by the Great Depression.

Today, the simple T-shirt comes in a variety of cuts, colors and styles.

Knowing how, when and where to sport each of them can distinguish you from the crowd.

KEEP YOUR SHIRT ON. Wearing the right classic T-shirt can show a keen fashion sense while providing a comfortable fit.

SOLID CREW

The most basic of T-shirts, the crew neck has of late played second fiddle to the increasingly popular vneck, but it still retains a place in every man’s summer wardrobe. The key to a refined crew neck is fit. Almost every T-shirt should hit just below the waist, falling no farther than the bottom of your belt loops while the sleeves should hug your arm around mid-bicep. A well-made and wellfitted white T-shirt looks great on any hot summer afternoon.

GRAPHIC

Printed graphic tees are a dime a dozen, and most aren’t worth even

that. Trade in those 5k and summer vacation souvenir shirts for some more stylistic graphic tees from Hobbs, 700 Massachusetts St. They’ve hand-selected some great retro tees inspired by classic ‘50s styles. Some of my favorites include their timely collection of Sol Angeles national tees that allow you to support your World Cup team in style (multiple countries available, $54).

HENLEY

With two or three buttons stretching from the neck to mid-chest, stripped henleys are the perfect summer evening out T-shirt. As the sun goes down, you can button up if temperatures drop (Gap, $26.95).

BREWERY SHIRT

As a craft beer lover, I’d be leaving out a large portion of my own go-to summer T-shirt collection if I didn’t mention that every man needs to own at least one local brewery shirt. Perfect for a night at the bar or a weekend beer festival. Free State Brewing Company, 636 Massachusetts St., doesn’t disappoint with a well-designed logo T-shirt that contrasts its signature Prairie Falcon on a heather gray background ($15).

keeping mosquitoes at bay

F

emale mosquitoes require two things to reproduce: water and blood. Stemming their access to these resources can greatly control mosquito populations.

Step 1: Curtail a growing mosquito problem by reducing the insects’ access to water. Female mosquitoes lay eggs in standing water or on very moist soil.

Eliminate breeding grounds by eliminating stagnant water around the home. Clean gutters and make sure they drain properly.

Remove water collecting debris in the yard, including tires, buckets, trash can lids, wheel barrows, children’s toys, and unused flower pots. Empty and refill pet bowls and bird baths at least twice a week.

Step 2: A day or two after it rains, empty any remaining water collected on tarps, boat covers, patio furniture, playground equipment and other outdoor items. Even a tablespoon of stagnant water can serve as a mosquito hatchery.

Step 3: Keep pools and hot tubs properly chlorinated. Use BTi (bacillus thuringiensis israelenis) dunks, plunks, or granules to treat non-chlorinated water sources such as ponds, rain barrels

Shutterstock Photo

and livestock troughs.

Step 4: A day or two after a good rain look for moist soil in the yard. Fill low lying areas with dirt and properly grade the yard so water runs away from the house and yard.

Step 5: Landscape with mosquitorepellent plants including lemon balm, eucalyptus, marigolds, geraniums, chry-

santhemums, asters, pyrethrum daisies, and herbs, such as anise, basil, cat nip, coriander and rosemary.

Step 6: Reduce mosquito habitats by keeping grass mowed and eliminating weeds, brush piles and other unkempt areas in the yard.

Step 7: Use aromatic cedar mulch and citronella candles to deter mosquitoes

around patio areas.

Step 8: Install an outdoor fan or use portable fans near patio areas to disperse mosquito attracting carbon dioxide.

Step 9: Reduce mosquito bites by wearing loose fitting, light colored clothing, including long sleeves and pants.

Step 10: Avoid flowery or fruity mosquito attracting fragrances in perfumes, hair sprays, laundry detergents and fabric softeners.

Step 11: Sparingly apply insect repellent to exposed skin and reapply every 3 to 4 hours. DEET, Picaridin and Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus are the most recommended and effective repellents. Essential oil mixtures with basil, cedar, citronella, clove, eucalyptus, lavender, lemon balm, myrrh, peppermint, pine or rosemary may also help deter mosquito bites.

Step 12: Temporarily discourage mosquito activity prior to outdoor gatherings by treating the lawn and surrounding vegetation with mosquito repelling sprays or granules.
