TOPEKA — A proposal to eliminate state funding of remedial courses at Kansas University and other public colleges is still being worked on by legislators.

The measure, sponsored

by House Speaker Mike O’Neal, R-Hutchinson, is one of many education bills being discussed by House-Senate conference committee.

Negotiators appear to be far apart on the issue as the Legislature broke its 90-day regular session deadline Friday and went into overtime.

Negotiations are expected to pick up again today.

Sen. Jean Schodorf, RWichita, said Senate negotiators would like to delay the prohibition of state funds for remedial courses until 2015.

This, she said, would give universities time to adjust and possibly develop plans with community colleges on offering the classes.

KU offers one remedial course, intermediate algebra, which has an average of 900 students enrolled each fall.

Schodorf also said the Senate wants state funding to continue for remedial courses for older students who have been out of school for a few years and need some remedial coursework. That would include military veterans and foreign students who need help with English.

The bill that was approved

by House also would cut from 10 percent to 5 percent the number of freshmen class or transfer admissions allowed under the “exception window,” meaning they haven’t met minimum admission standards.

O’Neal has said his bill is aimed at students whom he thinks would be better served at a community college rather than risk failing at a regents school.

Of the six regents schools, three exceeded 5 percent in the number of freshmen students admitted as exceptions: Emporia State, 8.1 percent; Pittsburg State, 7.1 percent; and Fort Hays State, 6.8 percent. Kansas State was at 3.7 percent; Wichita State at 1.6 percent; and KU had the lowest rate at 0.4 percent.

Again, the Senate negotiators were seeking a more cautious approach. Schodorf said they would like to have a study to determine whether students admitted through the “exception window” fail or drop out of school at a higher rate than other students.

BRIEFLY Secret Service scandal hearing set WASHINGTON (AP) — The chairman of the Senate committee with jurisdiction over homeland security says he’s scheduled a hearing for May 23 to review the Secret Service investigation of the Colombia prostitution scandal.

Sen. Joe Lieberman told CNN’s “State of the Union” that he believes the agency has done a thorough job in investigating the incident. But the Connecticut independent also wants to know whether there were warning signs about agents’ behavior.

He said he also wants to hear what steps are being taken to ensure something similar doesn’t happen again.

Lieberman says the Secret Service director, Mark Sullivan, will be called to the hearing by the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.

Kony recently became the focus of international attention after the U.S. advocacy group Invisible Children made an online video seeking to make him famous. In 2005 the ICC indicted Kony, along with four other LRA commanders, for crimes against humanity and war crimes. Two of them have since died.

ANALYSIS

Kansas tax debate may spur more shortcuts

By John Hanna Associated Press

TOPEKA — When massive tax cuts cleared the Kansas Legislature last week, recriminations followed over how both chambers truncated debates as the House tried to rush the legislation to Gov. Sam Brownback and the Senate simultaneously tried to block it.

Legislators caught on the losing end in both chambers worried that traditions of unfettered debate were in danger.

Recent history suggests unusual maneuvers in the Legislature can become commonplace.

Lawmakers need look no further than their nowroutine “gut and go,” a move that strips a bill of its contents and substitutes another proposal.

The tactic sparked outrage when it was employed two decades ago to force the House to debate a major anti-abortion proposal, but now it’s used regularly each year to speed measures to passage.

The legislators who moved last week to end what they saw as filibusters over tax cuts argued that the unusual circumstances won’t recur often.

But it’s not difficult to envision a Kansas Legislature in which majorities, bored with opposing arguments and wanting to move favored bills, regularly squelch debate.

“We talk about protecting the institution, where we come together to conduct the people’s business,” said Sen. Pat Apple, a conservative Louisburg Republican. “Are we going to spiral down to mob rule?”

The tax legislation would cut individual income tax rates, eliminate income taxes for 191,000 businesses and drop the state’s sales tax to 5.7 percent in July 2013 from its present 6.3 percent. Gov. Sam Brownback, a conservative Republican who pushed for income tax reductions, plans to sign the bill unless another, less aggressive plan he likes emerges.

Brownback contends the tax cuts will stimu-

“

We talk about protecting the institution, where we come together to conduct the people’s business.

Are we going to spiral down to mob rule?”

— Sen. Pat Apple, a conservative Louisburg Republican late the economy and create new jobs. But the Legislature’s research staff projects that a budget shortfall will emerge

by July 2014, growing to almost $2 billion by July 2017.

Shell game The unusual tactics employed last week to pass the plan included a “gut and go.” The bill heading to Brownback was introduced last year in the House to make technical changes in sales tax laws.

It passed the House and remained in a Senate committee for a year — until senators needed a “vehicle” or “shell” for tax cuts.

The plan passed the Senate, where many members thought it too aggressive but — after a push by the governor — approved it to keep the legislation moving. The House and Senate negotiated a compromise, but many senators still had misgivings.

The Senate planned to vote on that compromise Wednesday. The House’s conservative Republican leaders, fearing the Senate’s moderate GOP leaders would let the plan die, set a House vote on the Senate’s more aggressive version.

The chamber voting first would prevail. In the House, Democrats and moderate Republicans attacked the more aggressive tax plan as irresponsible. In the Senate, which convened a little later, GOP conservatives began speaking.

Rep. Lance Kinzer, a conservative Olathe Republican, relied on a seldom-used rule to force a vote on cutting off the House’s debate. In the Senate, John Vratil, a moderate Leawood Republican,

interrupted Sen. Jeff King, a more conservative Independence Republican, and forced a vote on whether King’s speech was out of order. Kinzer and Vratil prevailed in their chambers, but the House voted first.

In the House, GOP conservatives were castigated as tyrants. In the Senate, they did the castigating of GOP moderates.

Recriminations also followed a February 1990 meeting of the House Transportation Committee. The committee stripped a minor transportation bill of its contents, turned it into an anti-abortion measure and sent it to the House for a debate that abortion rights supporters had blocked for years.

That day profoundly influenced the Legislature, weakening the power of committee chairmen and other leaders to block bills. But leaders stung by the “gut and go” also coopted it.

‘Nothing truly dies’ Previously, legislation had been far more difficult to pass than to kill.

Now, officials regularly joke about wanting to be buried at the Statehouse because nothing truly dies there.

House Speaker Mike O’Neal, a conservative Hutchinson Republican, is skeptical Wednesday’s events will have the same kind of influence, seeing them as “pretty unique.”

But in the Senate, David Haley, a Kansas City Democrat, had speeches interrupted on two consecutive days by senators asking whether his comments were in order.

And O’Neal acknowledged having to tamp down talk among House members about trying Kinzer’s tactic again when debates become tedious.

“I don’t know how serious it was,” O’Neal said.

“But it was, like, ‘Hey, that was pretty cool. It worked the other day.’”

Such sentiments mean the tactics employed last week are likely to be used again in the future — perhaps with growing regularity.

LOTTERY SATURDAY’S POWERBALL 10 24 35 53 58 (22)

Storm study to track pollution SALINA (AP) — Scientists will soon fly weather planes out of Salina to study how thunderstorms suck up pollution and distribute it around the country.

The roughly $10 million effort, dubbed the Deep Convective Clouds and Chemistry project, will be conducted in Colorado, Texas, Oklahoma and Alabama starting Tuesday.

It’ll run through the end of June.

The Salina Journal reported that the city was chosen for the so-called DC3 project because of its central location, and because its airport could support the project.

“The Salina facilities are excellent,” said Allen Schanot, project manager for National Center for Atmospheric Research.

“We are able to house our aircraft in this hangar to protect it (from hail). The combination of location and facilities is why we are here.”

He said Salina’s runway is one of the longest in the Midwest, which also makes the city ideal.

“When we have a full payload of fuel, we need almost the entire runway,” Schanot said.

The project is a collaboration between NCAR,

National Aeronautics and Space Administration, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Energy, German Aerospace Center and more than 20 universities from the United States and other countries.

“What we are looking at is how thunderstorms take all of the local pollution from a local area and pump it into the stratosphere and upper troposphere,” Schanot said.

“Most of the pollution in the country is man-made and most of it comes from the ground.”

Steven Rutledge, a professor of atmospheric science from Colorado State University, said the study was developed over six years. He said teams will work 12 hours a day, for seven days a week, and expected at least three flights a week.

Schanot said the planes involved in the experiment are a NASA DC8, NCAR’s Gulfstream V and a C-130. During a tour of the Gulfstream V, Schanot said the variety of equipment collects many types of chemical data.

“We are basically flying weather stations — we can pretty much do the whole

thing,” Schanot said. “We can do air pressure, humidity, 3-D winds in flight, droplet sizings, ice shapes and other things.”

Schanot said the Gulfstream V can fly up to 6,000 miles in a single trip and has studied the effects of global warming and other issues around the world.

Rutledge said the group isn’t interested in Kansas storms — the four states involved in the study were targeted because they differ from each other.

“Each of the areas has different types of storms and different background chemistry,” Rutledge said.

“The merger of chemistry and storms is what this experiment is about.”

Jim Moore, site manager for DC3, said the project is estimated to bring $1.5 million to the Salina economy. He said the planes will use 200,000 to 300,000 gallons of fuel during the project, which will be purchased from the Salina fuel companies.

BRIEFLY Kansas State planning new residence hall MANHATTAN — Kansas State University expects to open its first new on-campus residence hall since the early 1960s within two to three years.

The project is now in the planning stages, with construction likely to begin sometime next spring, university President Kirk Schulz told The Manhattan Mercury.

Over the past decade, the university has focused its housing efforts on the substantial renovation of the off-campus Jardine Complex.

It has not built an on-campus residence hall since opening a four-unit complex about 50 years ago, when enrollment was roughly 12,000. Now, it is about twice that.

Trinity In-Home Care to honor older adults Trinity In-Home Care will honor older adults during its fifth annual community breakfast at 8 a.m. Friday at Maceli’s, 1031 N.H. The event is part of national Older Americans Month.

The nonprofit agency will present an award to Lawrence resident Joanne Hurst for her leadership and volunteerism.

The event is free and open to the public, but reservations need to be made by today by calling 842-3159.

The agency provides a variety of supportive services, such as housekeeping, meal preparation and transportation, to help people with disabilities and older adults live independently.

It also supports caregivers so that they can tend to other business and get a break once in a while. Additionally, it has a drop-in child care service.

The agency provides services on sliding-scale fee that’s based on income.

Each day, Trinity In-Home Care provides 500 hours of services to Douglas County families.

MARK KABBAN, PROGRAM COORDINATOR FOR YOUTH AND LEADERS LIVING ACTIVELY, OR YALLA, stands with children enrolled in YALLA. Kabban, a Baker University graduate, was named a 2012 CNN Hero earlier this month for his work with YALLA and refugee children in the San Diego area.

Soccer program makes cultural transition easier for young refugees “

By Meagan Thomas

Baker University graduate Mark Kabban knows firsthand the power of sports to foster change and is now sharing that lesson with others.

Kabban is the program coordinator for Youth and Leaders Living Actively, a soccer and tutoring program in San Diego used to help rebuild the lives of child refugees.

“The children lose dignity, their country and the life they had there, sometimes parents and siblings,” Kabban said. “Their confidence is so shot; the program is really helping these kids.”

YALLA has more

The children lose dignity, their country and the life they had there, sometimes parents and siblings. ... The program is really helping these kids.”

— Baker University graduate Mark Kabban, who is the program coordinator for Youth and Leaders Living Actively. Kabban was named a 2012 CNN Hero for his work with the program than 200 refugee children in its program.

They are from Africa, Latin America, the Middle East and elsewhere.

The programs include soccer, leadership, education and eco-therapy.

The ultimate goal of YALLA is to not only raise the self-esteem of these refugees, but to better their education and get them to college.

“We use soccer as the hub to get them in, and if they play soccer, they have to adhere to our education program,” Kabban said.

Kabban’s efforts to educate and support the refugees has not gone unnoticed. Earlier this month he was named a 2012 CNN Hero.

Kabban’s work with refugees and YALLA

are a result of his experiences as a child moving from Lebanon to California.

He said the transition from one culture to another was difficult, and he was bullied because of his appearance. His family didn’t have the monetary means to help Kabban to fit in with other kids.

“People would say my shoes looked like homeless guy’s shoes,” Kabban said.

Kabban’s self-esteem took a big hit from the teasing and bullying, so he used athletics as a way to cope. He adapted easily to American football.

Douglas County Dental Clinic has hired a third fulltime dentist who will start in June, and it will move to a larger building in November to help meet the growing need for its services.

The clinic, now at 316 Maine, serves low-income and uninsured residents.

Last year, the clinic had 6,816 appointments, up 343 percent from its first full year of operation in 2002, when it had 1,537 appointments.

The wait for a nonemergency appointment is now about nine weeks.

“That’s crazy,” said Julie Branstrom, the clinic’s executive director. “There are times that people will call with a toothache, and we can’t get them in for a day or two.”

She said they would leave

HOW TO HELP

Dads of Douglas County board needs treasurer Staff Reports

Agency: Dads of Douglas County Contact: Charlie Bryan, 785-218-7966 Dads of Douglas County is in need of a treasurer for its board of directors. The board treasurer will attend once-a-month meetings (currently from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. on third Tuesdays) along with the chairperson, vice chairperson and secretary. The Dads of Douglas County board treasurer will be the chair of the finance subcommittee, and will be in charge of completing and filing the organization’s 501(c)3 paperwork. For more information about this volunteer opportunity, contact Charlie Bryan by calling or texting 785218-7966.

Immediate needs !" The Lawrence Humane Society is in need of volunteers to provide foster homes for kittens and

puppies. Many animals come to the shelter too young, too small or not healthy enough for adoption yet. The only way to help these animals thrive is by having dedicated volunteers take care of them in their homes for a few weeks, until they’re ready for adoption. Four foster orientations remain for the month of May; you can attend one of two Saturdays, at 1 p.m. May 19 or 26, or one of two Thursdays, at 6 p.m. May 24 or 31. No experience is required, and volunteer foster parents will be provided with all the supplies needed to take care of the animals. All potential foster homes must complete a Foster License Request through the Kansas Animal Health Department, which includes a $10 fee that is paid to the Health Department. To RSVP for one of the orientation dates or for more details, contact Maggie Cargill at 785-843-6835 or maggie@ lawrencehumane.org. !" Douglas County Se-

nior Services, or DCSS, in cooperation with Senior Health Insurance Counseling for Kansas, or SHICK, is currently recruiting volunteers to become trained SHICK counselors.

Volunteers will help seniors navigate the Medicare maze. Training will be in Lawrence on June 20 and July 25. Following training, the volunteers may choose to offer guidance as a comprehensive Medicare counselor, assisting beneficiaries in all areas of Medicare, or they may choose to help with open enrollment for Medicare managed care and prescription drug plans. If you are interested in hearing more about these rewarding volunteer opportunities, contact Criss Tomlin, SHICK coordinator at DCSS, at 785842-0543. !" Small World is looking for two new volun-

teer lead teachers to start in the fall. Small World focuses on helping international women and children adjust to living in Lawrence. The lead teacher positions are for one Intermediate Level and one Intro Level ESL class. Volunteers must have teaching experience and should be willing to make a commitment to teaching at Small World for the entire academic year, which begins Sept. 4. Classes meet from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. every Tuesday and Thursday.

This is a great opportunity for retired teachers who miss the classroom. All of the students are adult women who are very motivated and eager to improve their English skills.

To find out more details, contact Kathy Mulinazzi at 785-841-3645 or kathymulinazzi@aol.com.

— For more volunteer opportunities, contact Shannon Reid at the United Way’s Roger Hill Volunteer Center, at 785-865-5030 or volunteer@rhvc.org, or go to volunteerdouglascounty.org.

Boeing Wichita plant could be tough sell

By Molly McMillin The Wichita Eagle

WICHITA — A state official said he has had inquiries about Boeing’s Wichita plant, but two site selection executives think the facility will remain vacant for some time.

Boeing announced in January that it would close its historic site in south Wichita by the end of 2013.

The plant includes dozens of hangars and buildings on 400 acres of land.

Kansas Department of Commerce Secretary Pat George calls the facilities

more emergency appointments open each day, but they can’t afford to not have the chairs filled.

“It’s a constant balancing act,” she said.

The clinic is the only safety net dental clinic in the county, and it isn’t coming close to meeting the need for affordable care.

According to a 38-page Community Health Assessment released this month by the LawrenceDouglas County Health Department, one in five residents had not seen a dentist in the past year, and Lawrence Memorial Hospital reported that more than 470 cases of preventable emergency department visits in 2011 were caused by dental problems.

‘Poorest of the poor’ Branstrom said the clinic has seen an increase in the number of uninsured adults who qualify for services at its lowest fee level, which is 100 percent of the federal poverty level.

That’s an annual income of $10,890 for an individual or $22,350 for a family of four.

“These are the poorest of the poor. They don’t have money to come in and have a filling done,” she said. “They are worried about basic necessities like putting food on the table and paying rent and putting shoes on their kids’ feet. Our fees are out of reach for these people.”

Branstrom would like to charge just a $10 fee for all dental care for anyone who is uninsured and meets the lowest income guidelines, but she can’t do that and keep the doors open.

“It’s crazy expensive to deliver dental care,” she said.

That’s because of the cost of supplies and the time each appointment takes. Here are some examples of the clinic’s lowest fees:

a “great asset” for Wichita.

“We’ve had a number of inquiries,” he said. “Boeing’s been fielding inquiries, too.

“Of course, it’s a long way from having a done deal. But it makes you feel good when you put a house on the market and you have a few people who show up for the open house, to use that analogy.”

He described those interested as coming from aviation-related businesses.

Boeing spokesman Forrest Gossett said “it’s far too soon for us to begin actively marketing the properties.” He said Boe-

ing needs the site for another year and a half.

He said the company’s shared services group, which works with site planning and real estate, will handle any inquiries about the property.

Jay Garner, president and founder of Garner Economics, an Atlantabased economic development consulting firm, said that because the site is so specialized, it likely will be used for aircraft-related assembly or aviation maintenance and repair.

Those buildings include everything from large hangars to tool sheds and guard buildings.

“It’s hard to find quality hangar space,” Garner said.

Still, the space has a limited niche market, especially in light of cuts in the federal defense budget. Those cuts will affect the demand among defense contractors for extra space.

“My guess is there’s a great chance it’s going to be empty longer than shorter because of fewer potential customers,” Garner said.

“We just felt like we had to bring on a third dentist to help meet the needs of the community, and we are committed to finding the resources to do it,” Branstrom said.

“When I came here, the first time I touched a football — that was really how I spent my childhood. So I know how much it means to kids who have a passion for sports,” he said.

Kabban moved to Kansas for college after being recruited for football

by Baker University head coach Mike Grossner.

Throughout high school, Kabban struggled with his academics, but he said the help of the Baker faculty and staff gave him the push he needed to succeed. During his time at the university, he studied abroad and was granted honors funding to travel to Lebanon.

Much like the refugee children in YALLA, a strong support system was necessary for Kabban to succeed.

“The Baker community gave me so much confidence,” Kabban said.

“They made me feel like I was worthy and I could

do all these things. I will always be grateful to Baker for that.”

Kabban returned to San Diego and began working as a refugee counselor. As he continued to work with the refugees, he realized there was a need for someone to help ease the transition for the children from other countries. It’s been more than a year since Kabban left his job to begin running YALLA programs full time.

“There’s so much more work that needs to be done, and it’s all about small groups of people who make big things happen,” Kabban said. “Nothing would be possible without the people who have helped make this happen.

“It’s really just teaching me about life, and if there are things that upset you, there’s something you can do about it.”

GRADUATES WALKING THROUGH THE CAMPANILE at the start of their march down the hill were shown on the big screen in Memorial Stadium.

KU CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Chairwoman Sheila Bair, composer Kirke Mechem, former U.S. Sen. Bob Dole and Ford CEO Alan Mulally. All but Dole received the honor in person.

Mulally delivered the commencement address, taking over a role traditionally held by KU’s chancellor, though Bernadette Gray-Little did deliver a farewell speech to the graduates.

The Ford CEO highlighted his KU and Lawrence roots, recalling how he attended basketball star Wilt Chamberlain’s first varsity game at KU and took some credit for Chamberlain’s first recordbreaking 52-point game against Northwestern after delivering a “pep talk” (The two exchanged brief “Hi”s before the game).

Mulally encouraged the graduates not to shy away from challenges and setbacks, calling them “gems.”

“Of course, unless we do something with it, a gem is just a rough stone,” he said. “It is up to us to shape and polish it.”

He referenced a few of his own struggles and challenges, discussing his first management job at Boeing, where he oversaw one employee, who promptly quit. He said he later approached the employee and discovered he had been trying to make the person do things exactly the way he did.

“Over time, I learned that the most effective managers and leaders connect people to the compelling vision of the enterprise, in a way that benefits the individual and benefits the organization,” Mulally said.

He encouraged the graduates to pursue the things that mattered to them “with great passion,” while being open and flexible.

tering is filled with challenges and opportunities,” he said. “It is up to you to turn them into gems.”

Before the ceremony, graduates lined Memorial Drive in near-perfect weather, with temperatures in the low 70s below a nearly cloudless sky. Some had jobs, and some didn’t. Some had debt — “Oh, yeah. Lots of it,” said Crystal Yakel, an education graduate from Leawood — and some didn’t — “Thank you, Grandma,” said Alyssa Heinrich, a human biology

graduate from Naperville, Ill. But on Sunday, the focus was on the students, their transition to the next stage of life and their achievements. While lining up to go through the Campanile and down the hill to Memorial Stadium, several thoughts occupied the new graduates’ minds.

“I just hope I don’t trip,” said Kelsey Belt, a communication studies major from Overland Park.

It wasn’t tripping that concerned Patrick Collins, from Prairie Village, and Jon Collins, from Highland, two (unrelated) mechanical engineering graduates who took a moment to reminisce about their KU careers.

Patrick was talking about “the camaraderie of suffering” that comes with going through engineering

classes together, when the conversation shifted to ways their families could find them in the mass of black robes. Jon had brought some Star Wars stormtrooper masks that he and a group of friends were wearing to help their families out a little.

But, if all four were wearing them, how would their families know who was who?

“If they see us, we’ll take them off,” Jon said.

Gray-Little, in her farewell speech, encouraged the graduates to make the most of their education, to not just do well, but also to do good in the world.

“Go out there,” she said.

“Do great things. And Rock Chalk.”

Overreacting Authorities should realize that not all pranks by high school students amount to hazing or bullying.

T

he high school years pack a lot of challenges on a teen, with tests of will, ranges of emotions, physical and mental maturation, evolution of relationships, learning to drive and 7 a.m. classes. Then there is homework, play rehearsals, sports and band practice.

So, during the final weeks of their senior year, it seems natural that some teens facing the matriculation to college or work by summer’s end might want to have a little fun.

Toilet paper gets thrown into trees in front of classmates’ houses, funny notes are written in grease pencil on car windshields, an underclassman’s hair gets a buzz cut when he’s not looking. All harmless acts easily repaired by a rainfall, elbow grease applied to a piece of glass and a trip to the barber.

In Lawrence, it’s called Senior Week.

Students are warned by coaches and administrators not to push the limits, but most who have been in their shoes know it’s hard to resist pulling a prank or two.

And we learned this week that if a senior gets caught doing mischief, he or she faces hard justice just days before graduation.

Last week, three Lawrence High School senior boys who gave underclassmen buzz cuts were suspended for three days out of school and one day of in-school suspension.

The three boys gave their younger brothers and their brothers’ friends what they called “goofy haircuts.” This happened, according to a parent, with the underclassmen’s permission, parents’ approval and in a private home.

The three seniors will also have a violation of the school’s bullying and hazing policy noted on their official high school transcript.

Similar incidents happened across town during Senior Week at Free State High School, where disciplinary action was taken against five senior boys for violating the district’s hazing policy. Reportedly, underclassmen also got buzz cuts.

Is this bullying or hazing, or a rite of passage? According to district policy, hazing is an act that “recklessly or intentionally endangers the mental health, physical health or safety of a student” to attain membership or affiliation with a district-sponsored activity or grade level attainment.

The district policy states those acts include: !" Forced consumption of any drink, alcoholic beverage, drug or controlled substance. !"Forced exposure to the elements. !" Forced prolonged exclusion from social contact. !"Forced deprivation. !" Assignment of pranks or other activities intended to degrade or humiliate.

Such acts described above are examples of bullying and should be dealt with severely. But the acts for which the LHS seniors were disciplined last week don’t meet this standard. It was in good fun.

School leaders overreacted.

Yes, bullying is dangerous and humiliating. Students, parents, teachers and administrators need to have a zero-tolerance policy against it.

But in this case, let the kids have a little fun.

Obama learns foreign policy on job WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama begins his re-election campaign with something almost nobody would have predicted four years ago: a sense of success and political advantage in the foreign-policy areas that have often spelled trouble for Democrats.

The tight, wary control that was often apparent when Obama discussed foreign policy in his first two years has been replaced by an easier informality. The pre-scripted phrases and the gaze into the middle distance, as if he were reading a teleprompter, are mostly gone, too, at least in private, aides say.

He conveys the sense that managing foreign policy is

an iterative skill, which he has learned through trial and error. This former anti-war activist and community organizer certainly didn’t run for president so he would have authority to kill people.

But that’s just what he does every time he authorizes a drone strike against an alQaeda target.

The Obama team seems almost dismissive of the foreign-policy savvy of his likely Republican rival, Mitt Romney. They see Romney as out of his depth on this subject, making gestures to his neoconservative supporters and talking tough, no matter the issue — almost in a caricature of the chestbeating unilateralist.

The White House doubts Romney is serious in these positions — and suspects that if the Republican challenger should actually become president, he would have to jettison his uber-tough stance.

From the Lawrence Daily JournalWorld for May 14, 1912: “Judges, lawyers, heads of penal institutions, and teachers of law in the University will meet here Friday and Saturday, May 17 and 18, to discuss methods of improving the criminal procedure in the state of Kansas in the

Military Spending: Members approved, 218 -199, a military spending hike of $55 billion, or 10 percent, in 2013 paired with deep cuts over ten years in social programs such as food stamps and children’s health insurance.

A yes vote backed a bill (HR 5652) to avert defense cuts next year.

Justice, Commerce, Science: Members voted, 247-163, to appropriate $51.1 billion in fiscal 2013 for the Justice and Commerce departments and agencies such as the National Science Foundation. A yes vote was to pass a bill (HR 5326) reducing spending by 3 percent from the 2012 level.

Voter ID Laws: Members voted, 232-190, to prevent the Justice Department from interfering with state voter ID laws. This followed the department’s blocking such laws in South Carolina and Texas in keeping with the 1965 Voting Rights Act. A yes vote backed the amendment to HR 5326.

Violence Against Women: Members defeated, 181-233, a bid by Democrats to add $20 million to funds already in HR 5326 (above) for programs dealing with violence against women. A yes vote backed the bid even though the GOP said the bill amply funds programs to protect women.

Export-Import Bank: Members voted, 330 -93, to fund the Export-Import Bank through 2014. An independent agency, the bank provides loans and guarantees to help U.S. firms export to markets seen as politically or economically risky. A yes vote was to send HR 2072 to the Senate.

this month and doesn’t seem perturbed, recognizing that the Russian leader has big problems to address at home.

The two leaders will meet at the G-20 meeting next month in Mexico.

What’s striking about Obama’s management of foreign policy, as the campaign season opens, is that he knows what he knows. To take one delicate example, he understands that China depends on good relations with the U.S. during its bumpy time of leadership transition — and he knows it’s important not to gratuitously embarrass the Chinese leadership.

Obama is beginning to think about what he would do in a second term, and it’s a predictable list: addressing climate change, reducing nuclear weapons, reviving the Palestinian peace process, managing the “Arab Spring” constructively and improving development assistance for Africa. But it isn’t so much the specific things he wants as the one big thing he has learned, which is how to make decisions in the Oval Office. This sense of having learned on the job is what he’ll try to sell the country come November.

nity” for building a weapon had been delayed — making an Israeli attack unnecessary.

Still ahead would be a broader negotiation in which the West would use Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s edict that Iran doesn’t plan to build a nuclear weapon as the basis for a comprehensive and verifiable agreement.

On Syria, the other Middle East tinderbox, Obama knows that Kofi Annan’s peace effort is failing, because of the former U.N. secretary-general’s inability to halt violence and begin the transition from President Bashar Al-Assad. Obama knows that Russia is the key to avoiding a civil war, but he doesn’t think the Russians will commit to oust Assad unless they’re convinced he can’t govern, and that only a new government will contain extremism in Syria. Like Russian President Vladimir Putin, Obama thinks parts of the Syrian opposition would be worse than Assad — and he worries that the protracted struggle is empowering precisely these people.

Obama is hoping to do business with Putin, whom he sees as the ultimate transactional leader. The White House has had indications since last weekend that Putin would skip the G-8 meeting

Does Romney really intend an open-ended commitment of current troop levels in Afghanistan? Does he really want a trade war with China?

Even if Romney imagined taking these positions in the White House, his corporate patrons would quickly pull him back.

The trickiest test for Obama this year is Iran. He thinks the Iranians may be moving toward the confidence-building measure the P5+1 group has proposed, which would involve sending Iran’s small store of 20 percent-enriched uranium outside the country in return for fuel rods and medical isotopes enriched at that level, from abroad. And if Iran agreed to stop enriching above 5 percent, that would effectively mean closing its facility at Fordo, near Qom, which was built for higher levels of enrichment.

There’s still a lot of haggling ahead. Obama doubts the Iranians will decide to accept this package soon enough to delay the oil and other sanctions that are scheduled to take effect June 28 and July 1. But if a deal can be reached over the summer, he believes that would be enough to convince Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak that Iran’s “zone of immu-

KEY VOTES AHEAD

Student-Loan Interest: Senators failed, 52 -45, to reach 60 votes needed to advance a bill preventing interest rates on student loans from doubling, to 6.8 percent, on July 1. A yes vote was to start debating S 2343 over GOP objections to its ending a tax break for certain owners of S corporations. ©2012 Thomas Voting Reports www.voterama.info

In the week of May 14, the House will take up the Violence Against Women Act and the fiscal 2013 defense budget, while the Senate will debate a reauthorization of the Export-Import Bank.

To the editor: Thank you, President Obama, for saying that gays have the right to get married, but it is hard to believe that I live in a nation where their right to get married is in question. We have other issues that concern all of us and need to be addressed.

The primary issue in the state of Kansas is the intellectual level of our state legislators. I believe we need to pass a law that states that anyone who runs for office, including the governor, needs to take an intelligence test. And in this law anyone who scores less than a 75 on a standard test cannot run, and those currently serving in the governor’s office or the Legislature who score less than 75 must resign.

For those serving I realize this is good news and bad news. The bad news is they can no longer serve and get paid taxpayer money for passing stupid laws (such as allowing college students to carry concealed weapons on campus), but the good news is that most of those now serving will qualify for Social Security Disability because they are intellectually challenged.

Survey crucial

America. Politicians should be aware of public opinion, not just those issues that come to a vote in traditional elections. That is why I was sad to see Rep. Kevin Yoder and the House GOP vote to cut funding to the American Community Survey, a survey conducted since the time of Thomas Jefferson in between the Census.

On the same day, Yoder and the House GOP voted to cut funding to the American National Election Studies and all political science related funding from the National Science Foundation. Some of that funding makes it directly to the faculty and students at Kansas University. Without such studies, we must trust the news media, political parties, interest groups and politicians to discern the will of the people.

Budget cuts must be made, but the amount saved in these cuts is miniscule compared with the value of these surveys for our democracy. Policymakers, businesses and scholars all rely on this data, and one would expect our elected representatives to value the opinion of the people as well. This is one more step in removing the voice of the common citizen from the halls of the Capitol. I hope Yoder can take initiative to roll back these harmful changes.

MANHATTAN — This week’s Missouri series just became a whole lot more important for Kansas University’s baseball team.

Needing a win Sunday to clinch a spot in the Big 12 tournament, KU struggled on the mound and saw its bats disappear late in a 9-3 loss to Kansas State at Tointon Family Stadium.

“It’s always tough to lose to another Kansas team,” KU senior catcher James Stanfield said, “especially with something riding on it like that.”

The Jayhawks dropped the weekend series, 2-1, to put themselves in eighth place heading into the final weekend — one-half game in front of Kansas State and one half-game behind Texas Tech.

KU will host sixth-place Missouri for three games this week, while KSU will travel to face Texas Tech.

“It just means we’ve got to go out, and we’ve got to try to sweep (Missouri),” KU freshman outfielder Dakota Smith said. “I think it’s possible. I think we’re capable of doing it. Hopefully, we’ll get it done.”

Sunday’s game started poorly, then unraveled late for KU. The Wildcats (24-28, 5-6 Big 12) took the early lead against KU starter Thomas Taylor in the bottom of the first, when Jared King drove a 2-2 pitch to the opposite field and into the pine trees over the wall in left for a two-run home run.

It was KSU’s first extrabase hit of the three-game series.

Wade Hinkle followed with a deep blast to right, clearing the K-State scoreboard for a solo shot — the first time the Wildcats hit back-to-back homers since May 4, 2011.

“You could tell from the first inning that Thomas Taylor wasn’t sharp and was out of sync,” KU coach Ritch Price said. “I think that really set the tone for us getting off to a bad start.”

Taylor struggled with KState’s left-handed-heavy lineup in his short outing.

The right-hander — who had conceded a .342 batting average to lefties coming into the game — allowed eight of the 12 lefties he faced to reach base in his 21⁄3 innings.

Kansas City resurrected

CONGRADUATION

Giavotella’s two-run double brings K.C. back from ‘dead’ CHICAGO (AP) — The Kansas City Royals lost their starting pitcher in the first inning and were in the middle of a listless day at the plate before pinch-hitter Johnny Giavotella turned it all around with one big swing.

Giavotella hit a two-run double off Matt Thornton in the seventh inning, and Jeff Francoeur belted his first homer of the season, leading the Royals to a 9-1 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Sunday.

“We were dead, and (Giavotella) put up a huge at-bat against a guy who’s not easy

to hit and throws 97,” Francoeur said. “So I thought that kind of livened us up, and then we were able to relax and have some good swings.”

Alcides Escobar went 3-for-3 with two walks for Kansas City, which broke it open with six runs in the ninth inning. Francoeur also had an RBI single and made a nice play in right field.

Kansas City won for the fourth time in five games despite losing Danny Duffy to elbow tightness after just three batters. The left-hander recorded two outs before catcher Humberto Quintero

saw him shake out his arm at the end of a throw, prompting a mound visit from manager Ned Yost and a trainer.

“As soon as he said ‘It’s in my elbow,’ I said ‘That’s it,’” Yost said. “We need to get that checked, see what’s going on there, and go from there.”

Duffy was headed back to Kansas City on Sunday night and is scheduled for an MRI Mike Yoder/Journal-World Photo exam on Monday. He also experienced tightness in his KU WOMEN’S BASKETBALL PLAYERS AISHAH SUTHERLAND, LEFT, and Angel Goodrich participated in Sunday’s commencement at Memorial Stadium. elbow last month.

Kuchar beats out Na at Players PONTE VEDRA BEACH, FLA. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The only complaint about Matt Kuchar was not winning enough. He picked up a big one Sunday at The Players Championship.

Kuchar avoided the big mistakes that slowed so many other contenders â&#x20AC;&#x201D; starting with Kevin Na â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and kept it out of the water on the TPC Sawgrass to eliminate the kind of drama he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need. He closed with a 2-under 70 for a two-shot victory.

That famous smile, which he first showed the golf world as an amateur in 1998 competing on the biggest stages, was brighter than ever as Kuchar tapped in for par. He celebrated on the 18th green with his wife and two sons and shared a hug and a high-five with his mother.

His parents moved to Ponte Vedra Beach, and Kuchar stayed with them all week. Coming off the green, he said he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;about to buckleâ&#x20AC;? after such a week.

Just like his golf on a dangerous Stadium Course, he kept it together. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such an amazing feeling â&#x20AC;&#x201D; playing amongst the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best, to come out on top, to do it on Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day ... it really is magical,â&#x20AC;? Kuchar said.

Along with the pressure of trying to win, Na had to put up with some heckling. Already considered a slow player, he struggles to take the club back without practice swings and waggles, and over the ball he could hear fans saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pull the triggerâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hit it.â&#x20AC;?

Phelps prepares for final Olympics DALLAS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Michael Phelps knows whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on his schedule this summer.

Just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask him to share it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Can I ask a question? Why is it such a big deal what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m swimming?â&#x20AC;? Phelps said Sunday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You guys ask me every time.â&#x20AC;?

Yes, four years after winning a record eight gold medals in Beijing, Phelps remains the indisputable star of the U.S. Olympic team. His lone availability at the USOCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s media summit drew a full house, with reporters eager to know everything from what he plans on swimming at the London Olympics to whether heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s climbed the famed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Incline,â&#x20AC;? a training trail at the base of the mountains near Colorado Phelps Springs, Colo.

No wonder he and coach Bob Bowman are determined to keep a few things to themselves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we say what heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to swim and he changes it, then we have to have another one of these to explain why,â&#x20AC;? Bowman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The other part of it is I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know that we need to give the competition any more ammunition than they already have.â&#x20AC;?

In Beijing, Phelps won gold medals in the 100 fly, 200 fly, 200 free, 200 IM and 400 IM, as well as three relays.

While Phelpsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pursuit of Mark Spitzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s record of seven gold medals in a single games dominated the lead-up to Beijing, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s his rivalry with fellow American Ryan Lochte thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s causing a buzz ahead of London. Lochte beat Phelps in both the 200 free and the 200 IM at last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s world championships, losses that Phelps admitted Sunday helped him find motivation in the pool again.

With 16 medals overall, Phelps is two shy of the Olympic record set by Soviet gymnast Larysa Latynina from 1956 to 1964.

Phelps has said repeatedly â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and did so again Sunday â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that he is finished after London.

MATT KUCHAR, RIGHT, REACHES for his son Cameron after winning the Players Championship golf tournament on Sunday at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I backed off and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re booing me,â&#x20AC;? Na said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Look, guys, I backed off because of you guys.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; ... But it is what it is. I also felt that a lot of people were turning towards me and pulling for me, which I really appreciate.â&#x20AC;?

Kuchar won for only the fourth time in his career, and the first time since the 2010 Barclays when Martin Laird threeputted the last hole and lost in a playoff.

Laird made the strongest run on a cloudy, breezy afternoon, tying for the lead with his third straight birdie on No. 12. Laird nearly went in the water on the 18th, missed a 6-foot par putt for a 67 and wound up in a four-way tie for second.

Rickie Fowler, going for his second straight win, tried to make it interesting with a birdie on the island-green 17th to get within two shots. Kuchar watched from across the water on the 16th green, and then rolled in a 15-foot birdie putt to give him a three-shot lead going to the par-3 17th. Every shot matters standing on a tee and looking at an island. Kuchar found land, three-putted for bogey and made a regulation par at the end.

Fowler missed an 8-foot birdie putt on the 18th and shot 70.

Ben Curtis made a 10-foot birdie on the 18th for a 68, while Zach Johnson shot 68 to join the tie for second.

Luke Donald finished alone in sixth after a 66, not quite enough to replace Rory McIlroy at No. 1 in the world.

Tiger Woods shot 40 on his front nine and rallied for a 73, at least finishing The Players Championship under par.

That was the smallest of consolations. Far more alarming was that he tied for 40th, the first time in his career that he has finished no better than 40th in three straight tournaments. The streak began after a five-shot win at Bay Hill for his first PGA Tour title in 30 months. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just keep working. Keep working,â&#x20AC;? Woods said when asked what he could take out of the week.

Na had a three-shot lead early in the final round with a birdie on No. 2, but he fell apart quickly. There were waggles and a few whiffs as part of his painful pre-shot routine, but there were far too many shots in the wrong spot for him to have a chance. He made four bogeys in five holes to close out the front nine in 39, and his hopes ended with a tee shot into the water on the par-3 13th.

Na closed with a 76 to tie for seventh, five shots behind.

In the six years since The Players Championship moved from March to May and featured faster conditions, the 54hole leader has never won and has never shot better than 74 in the final round. The average score for the third-round leader since 2007 is now 76.3.

Federer, Serena Williams triumph at Madrid MADRID â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Roger Federer won the Madrid Open for the third time Sunday, rallying past Tomas Berdych 3-6, 7-5, 7-5 on the new blue clay court and overtaking Rafael Nadal for the No. 2 ranking.

On the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side, Serena Williams overpowered top-ranked Victoria Azarenka 6-1, 6-3 to capture the title. Azarenka, who had won her four previous tournaments, was so exasperated she smashed her racket to the ground.

Federer prevailed in a tournament in which top-ranked Novak Djokovic and Nadal had already been eliminated, both blaming the court their early exits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is amazing to win here again,â&#x20AC;? said Federer, whose other titles came in 2006 and 2009. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has been a tough tournament. Tough to move, but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to try to make the most of it. Here there was some good tennis and some bad tennis, but you see that in all tournaments.â&#x20AC;?

Federer defeated an opponent who had beaten him in three of their previous five matches. Berdych hit 14 winners and made just two unforced errors in a dominant first set.

The Swiss star, however, found his ground game, breaking twice to even the score and force the decisive third set. He finally won after Berdych saved three championship points.

The sixth-seeded Berdych jumped to a 3-0 lead after hitting a crosscourt return to take Federerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first service game. Federer saved two set points before Berdych clinched the first set with a big serve.

Federer struggled with his shots, but the 16-time Grand Slam winner evened the match by breaking twice in the second set, once when Berdych double-faulted on set point.

Berdych was in control most of the way but became erratic as the pressure grew in the deciding set. Serving to send the match to a tiebreaker, he fell behind 0-40. He rallied to force deuce, only to hit long and then net his final volley to end the match in just more than 21â &#x201E;2 hours.

In a match between two of the tourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heaviest hitters, Williams battered Azarenka with her big serves and fierce returns to take the first four games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can still do better,â&#x20AC;? said Williams, who took a yearlong absence because of illness in 2011. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is really good. I have been working hard. I had some tough battles and really unfortunate circumstances so I really love this.â&#x20AC;?

Williams served 14 aces on her way to avenging her only loss in six previous meetings with Azarenka. The 13-time Grand Slam winner was beaten by the Belarus star in the 2009 final in Miami.

Williams won the 41st title of her career and second this season. She is unbeaten in her last 13 matches on clay. Azarenka had won her four previous tournaments.

Irving to be named top rookie CLEVELAND â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A person familiar with the voting says Cavaliers guard Kyrie Irving has been chosen the NBAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rookie of the Year.

Irvingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s selection isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a surprise since he led all first-year players in scoring and renewed hope for Clevelandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s franchise.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll receive the award on Tuesday, said the person who spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the league has not yet Irving announced the winner.

The 20-year-old Irving entered the league as the No. 1 overall draft pick after playing just 11 games at Duke.

Irving is the second Cavaliers player to win the award, joining LeBron James in 2004.

MANCHESTER, ENGLAND â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Manchester City won the English title for the first time in 44 years, surging past Queens Park Rangers 3-2 on Sunday with Sergio Aguero scoring his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second goal during stoppage time.

Agueroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal in the fourth minute of injury time snatched the trophy from defending champion Manchester United on goal difference.

United had been top when its game at Sunderland ended in a 1-0 win.

This was the first time the English title was decided on tiebreaker since 1989, when Arsenal and Liverpool were even on points and goal difference, and Gunners won on total goals.

2006 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Rafael Nadal beats Roger Federer in five sets to successfully defend his Rome Masters title and tie Guillermo Vilasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; record 53-match winning streak on clay in the Open era.

Simon Gagne scores on a power play with 7:08 left to cap a comeback from a three-goal deficit, and the Flyers win 4-3 for a berth in the Eastern Conference finals. The Bruins become the third team in NHL history to lose a series after winning the first three games.

Coach: FSU should give Big 12 a look

LIKE A PROUD PAPA

things like this until you know what it is,” Duffy said. “My main concern was letting down my team. These guys are my brothers in here. They did a great job of picking me up.”

Luis Mendoza came in and pitched 52⁄3 innings, keeping the Royals in the game while they struggled to score against Philip Humber. Mendoza (22) allowed one run and seven hits, struck out four and walked two.

“Just tried to get that confidence,” he said. “I mean the last three appearances, I feel good and more confident, too.”

Humber broke out of his post-perfect game slump, pitching four-hit ball into the seventh inning, but the White Sox still lost for the fourth time in their last five home games.

Humber walked Escobar with one out in the seventh, but got Humberto Quintero to foul out before he was replaced by left-hander Matt Thornton (1-3) with the White Sox clinging to a 1-0 lead.

Jarrod Dyson then walked, and both runners moved up on a wild pitch.

Giavotella followed with a double down the rightfield line, giving the Royals the lead with his first hit of the season. He is 1 for 10 in four games since he was recalled from Triple-A Omaha on Wednesday.

“I was glad to be a spark,” Giavotella said.

“We couldn’t score against Humber. He was keeping us at bay, so I’m glad I was able to get a big knock for us.”

Humber struck out seven and walked three in his best start since his gem at Seattle on April 21. The 29-year-old right-hander was 0-2 with a 13.50 ERA

The junior surrendered four runs in all, striking out two while walking three.

“He couldn’t command the ball down at all,” Price said. “Randy Wetzel’s an outstanding (home-plate) umpire, and he rewards pitchers that pitch down in the zone. And we’re missing above the letters — after he got the first hitter out — to four or five hitters in a row.”

KU still answered in the top of the second to tie the score.

Ka’iana Eldredge added a sac fly, and following a Tucker Tharp single, Stanfield drew a basesloaded walk to push across the Jayhawks’ third run.

“I thought the momentum was on our side,” Smith said. “They just started hitting late.”

Not only that, the Jayhawks stopped hitting late.

After chasing KSU starter Robert Youngdahl after just 11⁄3 innings, the Jayhawks were held scoreless for the final 72⁄3 innings by three Wildcats relievers.

That was the same Kansas State bullpen which entered the game with a

“I thought we took way too many fastballs for strike one, strike two,” Price said.

KU trailed just 5-3 before K-State pulled away with a four-run eighth.

Three of the runs were unearned following the Jayhawks’ only error of the series: a misplay on a grounder by shortstop Kevin Kuntz.

Florida State athletic director Randy Spetman told the Orlando Sentinel on Friday that his school is “committed” to staying in the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Spetman may be the only one who thinks that way.

Florida State football coach Jimbo Fisher, before he spoke at the Seminole Club of Greater Orlando on Saturday, didn’t exactly shoot down rumblings that FSU will explore the possibility of leaving the ACC for the Big 12.

“There have been no official talks, but I think you always have to look out there to see what’s best for Florida State,” Fisher said.

“If that (jumping to the Big 12) is what’s best for Florida State, then that’s what we need to do.”

Andy Haggart, chairman of Florida State’s board of trustees, vigorously agreed. In an interview with Warchant.com, a popular website that covers FSU athletics, Haggart said the Seminoles should pursue talks with the Big 12: “On behalf of the board of trustees, I can say that unanimously we would be in favor of seeing what the Big 12 might have to offer. We have to do what is in Florida State’s best interest.”

If we’ve learned anything in recent years about institutions of higher earning switching conferences, it is this: Without fail, they all say they are steadfastly committed to their current league only until another league offers them more money.

And right now FSU could sure use some more money. Spetman announced a $2.4 million budget shortfall in the athletic department last week that sent shock waves through Seminole Nation.

In college football’s arms race, Seminole fans envision the Gators and other SEC schools purchasing F-22 Raptor fighter jets while they are still going to battle with tomahawks and bows and arrows.

More than ever, Florida State fans feel they are a football school hopelessly trapped in a basketball league. The most recent bout of Seminole discontent came last year when the ACC expanded to add Pitt and Syracuse — two basketball schools who haven’t been relevant in

COMMENTARY football for years. And then came the news earlier this week that the ACC had extended its TV deal with ESPN for an additional 15 years and $3.6 billion.

A growing faction of FSU boosters and power brokers believe the Seminoles can make significantly more money in the Big 12. And when you’re surrounded by and recruit against big-budget SEC schools such as Florida, Alabama, Auburn and Georgia, you’d better bring some cash or you’ll get spent into oblivion.

Think about it: Even though the ACC’s new deal will bring FSU up to about $17 million annually in TV revenue, that’s still $3 million less than the Big 12. Not only that, but some estimate the recently expanded SEC’s new deal could earn each conference school as much as $25 million per year. Translation: Over the span of the ACC’s 16-year contract, FSU will earn $128 million less than the Gators.

“FSU is looking at schools like Arkansas and Mississippi State having more resources, better facilities and the ability to hire the best coaches,” said Gene Williams, owner and editor of Warchant.com Which is why Seminole fans are rightfully worried. And why FSU’s administration should be doing everything in its power to not only keep up with the Gators but to keep up with Ole Miss and Vanderbilt.

Right now the Big 12 has a 10-team league with no championship game, and league schools still earn $3 million a year more than ACC teams.

How much could the Big 12 earn if it added two premier football programs like FSU and Miami or FSU and Clemson and then had a championship game? This would also give the Big 12 a footprint in Florida, the fourthlargest state and one of the most fertile recruiting grounds in the country.

Don’t kid yourself.

If the Big 12 offers big money, Chief Osceola would jump on Bevo and ride him bareback out of the ACC. The only thing left behind would be the billowing smoke from his flaming spear.

Kaun scored two points

James sparks Heat, 95-86 MIAMI (AP) — LeBron James was promised some rest. It never came.

The MVP didn’t care, not after he and the Miami Heat struck the first blow against the Indiana Pacers.

James accepted his third MVP trophy from Commissioner David Stern before the game, then scored 26 of his game-high 32 points while playing every second of the second half — adding a season-high 15 rebounds as well — as the Heat survived some rough stretches to beat the Pacers 95-86 on Sunday in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference semifinal series.

“I just looked at him straight in the eyes and said, ‘You can flat-out not get tired, period,’” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “And he made MVP plays on both ends of the court.”

Dwyane Wade scored 29 points for the Heat, who won the game but lost Chris Bosh for the second half and possibly longer. Bosh scored 13 points before leaving late in the first half with a lower abdominal strain, with the team saying he was being scheduled for an MRI exam to determine the severity.

“Hopefully (Monday) we get good news,” Wade said. “We all just want to make sure Chris is healthy.

So that’s all we know right now. Our brother is going to go (Monday) to see if he can get back out there and play with us. If not, then we’ve got to have someone step up very big.

You can’t fill Chris Bosh’s shoes, but you can have a few guys step up. So we’ll see.”

David West and Roy Hibbert each scored 17 points and combined for 23 rebounds for the Pacers, who got 10 points each from Darren Collison and George Hill.

MEMPHIS, TENN. (AP) — The Los Angeles Clippers refused to let a third chance to knock the Memphis Grizzlies out of the playoffs slip away.

Kenyon Martin scored seven of his 11 points in the fourth quarter, and the Clippers advanced to the Western Conference semifinals with an 82-72 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies in Game 7 on Sunday.

“That’s why it’s seven games,” Martin said. “If you don’t do it before, you get another chance.

So they did what they had to do, they came and stole home court back on our floor. ... We had a chance to close it out. We knew we let it go, an opportunity get away.”

The Clippers blew an eight-point lead in the fourth quarter Friday night. So Martin huddled the Clippers together at the start of the fourth quarter Sunday, and the veteran led the bench in

“Our bench was our MVP,” Clippers guard Randy Foye said. “They realized what they had to

Now, the Clippers have their third postseason series win in 41 years and their second since relocating to Los Angeles. They last beat Denver in 2006.

The Clippers also avoided becoming the ninth NBA team to blow a 3-1 lead in a best-of-seven series in moving on to play the top-seeded Spurs starting Tuesday night in San Antonio.

“I want the guys to enjoy this, and then we’ll regroup tomorrow and focus in on that,” Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro said. “But obviously another big challenge for us.”

Paul scored 19 points despite playing with a strained right hip flexor.

Nick Young had nine of his 13 off the bench in the fourth as the Clippers finished off the series with their biggest margin of victory.

Dear Annie: I am a college senior, graduating in May. I am currently undertaking two internships, and one of them will include a job offer when a position opens up. But I don’t know if I should take it.

I have always had a passionate desire to live in Europe. Since childhood, I have never wanted anything so much.

Last year, I studied abroad in England, and it only made me more determined to go back.

The internship job is terrific. I’d love the position, and it’s also possible that there will be an opportunity to go to Europe as part of the program now and then. Or, I could chase my dreams and move to Ireland after graduation. I have found a one-year workabroad program for recent graduates there.

My parents think going to Ireland would be a mistake. They are worried

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell anniesmailbox@comcast.net

that I won’t find a job or a place to live. Their disapproval makes my decision so much harder, but, Annie, if I don’t go now, I might miss the only opportunity I will ever have to do it.

People always postpone their dreams for the sake of practicality and then realize too late that they never had the courage to live the life they imagined. Please help me decide whether to follow my head or my heart. — Head in the Clouds Dear Head: A job is important, and the one

‘Smash’ ends without bang “Smash” (9 p.m.), NBC’s ambitious and highly promoted musical drama, wraps up tonight.

It’s taken a whole season to build up the kind of soap-opera froth it should have generated in the early going.

Much of the problem with “Smash” is not just its deliberate pace, but that many of its “shocking” developments can be seen coming a mile away. Did anyone doubt that Uma Thurman’s character, Rebecca, would quit the show, leaving the mean, philandering director Derek (Jack Davenport) to choose between Karen (Katharine McPhee) and Ivy (Megan Hilty)?

He makes his big choice tonight, just moments before curtain time.

Try to act surprised.

“American Masters” (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings) presents “Johnny Carson: King of Late Night.” This year marks the golden anniversary of Carson’s 1962 debut on “The Tonight Show” and 20 years since his retirement. “King” reminds us that Carson was present at the very birth of television, hosting one of the first hours of live TV on Omaha’s WOW network in 1949 and working for all three major networks throughout the 1950s.

Most of “King” is a wealth of clips spanning five decades and a parade of hosts and comics, including Jay Leno, David Letterman, Conan O’Brien, Arsenio Hall, Jimmy Fallon and Carson’s estranged permanent guest host, Joan Rivers.

We also hear from comics such as Drew Carey, Jerry Seinfeld and Ray Romano, who describe success in the court of the king as the very threshold of stardom. And no discussion of Carson would be complete without a minor dissection of his peculiar relationship with sidekick Ed McMahon.

Tonight’s season finales

Brennan becomes a murder suspect on “Bones” (7 p.m., Fox).

Blair must choose on “Gossip Girl” (7 p.m., CW).

Lily goes into labor on “How I Met Your Mother” (7 p.m., CBS); on the finale that follows (7:30 p.m.), the friends reminisce on Barney’s wedding day.

Jake explores his options on “Two and a Half Men” (8 p.m., CBS).

Time to tie the knot on “Mike & Molly” (8:30 p.m., CBS).

Collateral damage on “Hawaii Five-O” (9 p.m., CBS).

Tonight’s other highlights

Howard Stern joins Howie Mandel and Sharon Osbourne to judge the antics on a new season of “America’s Got Talent” (7 p.m., NBC).

Thirteen returns for the next-to-last episode of “House” (8 p.m., Fox).

The two-night special “The Weight of the Nation” (7 and 8 p.m., HBO) examines the obesity crisis. Parts 3 and 4 air Tuesday.

BIRTHDAYS

Movie producer George Lucas is 68. Actress Meg Foster is 64.

Movie director Robert Zemeckis is 61. Rock singer David Byrne is 60. Actor Tim Roth is 51. Fabrice Morvan (ex-Milli Vanilli) is 46. Actress Cate Blanchett is 43. Movie writer-director Sofia Coppola is 41. Actress Amber Tamblyn is 29.

you are looking at is a good one. But this year is likely to be the best (if not only) opportunity you will have to spend a year in a foreign country. It’s also possible that the internship position will not “open up” for another six months or more. We think you should go to Ireland. But we also suggest discussing it with your current employer and asking whether the available position will still be around when you return. If they can be accommodating, it would satisfy your “dream” as well as your parents’.

Dear Annie: My brother has always been a selfish, self-centered person, but since our mother died, he has gotten much worse. He constantly insults his siblings, has stolen property from our mother’s home and has ostracized himself from everyone except his wife and kids.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Monday, May 14: This year you focus on your long-term goals and desires, and many windows of opportunity open. Knowing what you want will help you make positive choices. If you are single, you meet someone special through a friend. If you are attached, be aware of a tendency to harp on certain issues. Let go.

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) Understand that as much as you want to be in command of your life, sometimes the only wise action is to step back. You might revel in learning some information that was not meant to be shared. Tonight: Put up your “Went Fishing” sign.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You can only hurt yourself by not being proactive. Your sense of direction emerges in a meeting, and everyone will recognize your abilities.

Tonight: Enjoying the moment.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Take charge, knowing full well the results you desire. This knowledge might not guarantee success, but it promotes a sense of direction that increases the likelihood of accomplishment. Tonight: Could go to the wee hours.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Keep reaching out for someone who might be an excellent adviser. Issues will transform when you air out your views with this person. Tonight: Let your mind roam.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Deal with others directly, preferably in private. Your communication is important, and it provides much-needed, if not desired, feedback. Tonight: Expect intensity.

jacquelinebigar.com

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Others have a lot to share.

You might not be up for certain comments, but stay centered and know what is needed. Tonight: Sort through invitations, then decide.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Focus on a pivotal moment or discussion. You understand the importance of diplomacy, but also how sharp words can change a life.

Tonight: Choose the most relaxing pastime possible.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You have the right blend of intellect, ingenuity and creativity to come up with an improbable solution that will work. Get together with someone you find unusually childlike yet also wise. Tonight: Don’t worry about tomorrow. Live in the now.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could feel tension rising and have difficulty dealing with it. Remain positive. Tonight: Happy at home.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You are able to communicate what is on your mind with ease, and you have a receptive audience. Go within yourself for answers, as you are changing more than you realize. Tonight: Out. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Be sensitive to someone and what he or she offers.

You might not want to share your intuitive hunch about this person to others. Tonight: Your treat.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You are all smiles, as you feel your energy rise and sense Lady Luck riding on your shoulder.

Do not take a situation for granted.

Tonight: The world is your oyster.

AGES AND AGES By Rob Lee

Events that happened to me he now claims happened to him. One of the items he stole was a sports trophy that I won as a teenager. He will not return it, and he tells everyone that he won it.

It’s in his china cabinet.

Is he grieving? Bipolar? We have almost given up on him but would like your advice. — Unhappy Siblings Dear Siblings: We don’t know what is wrong with your brother. If he truly believes the things he claims, it indicates mental illness. The death of a parent can send a borderline personality off the edge. Can you speak to his wife? Has she noticed that her husband’s behavior is more extreme or unusual than before? If so, please urge her to get ACROSS help for him.

Commentary

Community, business support helps breast-feeding mothers

BY JENNIFER BERMAN

“B

reast-feeding is the coolest thing I’ve ever done in my life,” said Shannon Berquist, mentor mom for BIBS — Breast is Best Social — and mom of Murphy.

Berquist and I met to chat about the “Breast-feeding welcome here” window clings I’ve spotted at businesses in the community. After chatting for hours about this mom-made wonderfood, it seems as though there are more than just perks for mom and baby — business owners, employees and other patrons benefit too.

For the past 70-plus years, new moms have been “booby trapped,” a term used

by BestForBabes.org, by social, cultural and institutional barriers — e.g. negative comments; inadequate support by family, friends, the community; formula advertising; etc.

BestForBabes.org, a site promoting breast-feeding, claims that human babies need their mother’s milk to reach their greatest health and intellectual potential; the majority of people know this. So why are so many mothers still being “booby trapped”?

Outward support by businesses is one way to turn these social, cultural and institutional barriers into opportunities: support moms and be a boost for businesses.

I’m not a certified economist by any means, but it looks like breast-feeding is the ultimate economic stimulus package: it’s free, which leaves more money for mothers to spend at Lawrence businesses (more than $150 savings per month over formula feeding, not to mention big savings on health care costs); convenient, so it requires no planning for those spontaneous lunches with other mothers; environmentally friendly; and

Health department offers session for businesses on breast-feeding Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department is offering training on how workplaces can become breast-feeding-friendly.

“The Business Case for Breastfeeding” for local employers and human resource directors will be from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday at the Community Health Facility, 200 Maine.

Workplaces are required by law to accommodate breast-feeding mothers. Employers who participate in the training session will be eligible for grant money to set up a lactation room.

For more information or to sign up, contact Jennifer Church at jchurch@ldchealth.org or 8565334.

reduces noise pollution from crying babies in public places.

Reduced noise pollution and more money flowing into the local economy equals happy customers and business owners. In addition, businesses who stand up for breast-feeding patrons tend to also support their breast-feeding employees, which is definitely good for business.

According to the Kansas Breastfeeding Coalition, mothers who are able to continue breast-feeding after returning to work tend to be more productive, take

less sick leave and have lower health care costs.

Breast-feeding is a tremendous boost to a baby‘s and mother’s lifelong health.

Mothers who breast-feed have a lower risk of breast and ovarian cancer, and formulafed babies are more likely to suffer from infections; constipation and other tummy troubles; allergies; childhood diabetes; and obesity, according to La Leche League USA, a group that promotes breast-feeding.

Berquist, who is currently breast-feeding her son, promotes the “Breast-feeding welcome here” window clings to help break down the barriers for other mothers who want to breast-feed but fear public sneers and negative comments.

Businesses throughout the Lawrence community have the opportunity to show their support and help implement the Kansas law that all women have the right to breast-feed in any place she has a right to be.

Here is a list of some current supporters:

Doodlebugs, 816 Mass.

Global Café, 820 Mass.

Great Harvest, 807 Vt.

Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vt.

Local Burger, 714 Vt.

La Prima Tazza, 638 Mass.

Feel empowered to breast-feed in public or cling your businesses window?

Contact Jennifer Church at the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department at 856-5334 or email jchurch@ ldchealth.org.

BIBS, an initiative of the Lawrence Douglas County Health Department, meets every Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. at the Community Health Facility at 200 Maine in the Health Department waiting room. It’s a great way to share your breastfeeding stories, learn and create a great support group!

Bartender shakes things up by creating cocktails

BY CHANSI LONG ONLINE: Watch bartender Katy Wade create a drink at Lawrence.com

O

n a Sunday night in April, Katy Wade, 29, works behind the bar of 715, at 715 Mass.

She whirls around and starts to make a cocktail, an Andy Sidecar.

She grabs a martini glass and fills it with ice and water to keep it cool. Next she pours the essential liquids into a Boston shaker — an ounce and a half of houseinfused apricot bourbon, half an ounce of cointreau, half an ounce of lemon and a couple dashes of rhubarb bitters. She shakes it vigorously for 5 seconds, then pours it into the chilled martini glass.

The drink doesn’t taste like rhubarb.

But it smells enough like it to confuse the mind into adding another level of complexity, says Wade, who spends six nights a week working behind a bar.

Wade started out as a barista, a gig she did for six years. Then she became a bartender.

“Being a successful bartender is all about how you can manage the flow of work,” says Wade, as she effortlessly floats from one customer to the next, placing a bill in front of one, and a drink in front of another. She speaks to her customers with ease and confidence.

“The nice thing about our cocktail menu is that all of the bartenders are engaged,” says Wade. “This is not a part-time job to anyone. We all value what we do and we enjoy being part of people’s experience at the restaurant.”

Wade and the other bartenders at 715 have access to the fresh ingredients the cooks use: rosemary, cucumbers, balsamic vinegars and simple syrup.

And at the launch of her shift, Wade makes sure everything is “mise en place,” a French phrase meaning “set up.” Chefs use the term to refer to the ingredients they expect to use.

In Wade’s case, the ingredient list for crafting cocktails is a lengthy one, and it lines the bar.

First there is a bowl of fresh citrus: an orange, a lemon and a lime. Next there is a container filled with mint and another filled with olives. There are eight different kinds of bitters: grapefruit, rhubarb,

chocolate, peach, celery, orange, organic and aromatic. There are salt and sugar and fresh spices. And there are about half a dozen house-infused spirits.

As it turns out, you can infuse nearly anything in alcohol — lavender, fig, roasted walnut, vanilla, orange, hot pepper.

This sort of experimentation is something the bartenders at 715 embrace, says Wade.

On the ledge of the bar is a jar of rye whiskey infused with duck fat. The fat is bundled in a satchel, and doesn’t seep into the spirit but sits inside it for 24 hours.

Then it’s frozen, thawed and used to make drinks like The Sophisticate.

The Sophisticate is the sort of concoction Wade and the other 715 bartenders come up with collectively.

Seasonally, the bartenders of 715 meet to discuss and test cocktails. They huddle around the bar, mix drinks and share ideas. By the end of the night, 30 martini glasses litter the bar.

The drinks that land on the menu at 715 are almost always a collaboration, says Wade, who considers herself a cocktail nerd. When you ask her about a drink, she pauses to respond, offering details about the drink’s history and evolution.

She takes her job seriously. At home she reads bar literature — she subscribes to Imbibe Magazine, and her most recent read was “Boozehound,” a book on spirits’ history. She also watches YouTube videos on the proper way to make certain cocktails, and she travels and studies how people in other cultures drink.

“I’m really interested in the way people drink alcohol in other countries,” says Wade, who recently got back from Mexico. “In Mexico, it was grapefruit season.

Everyone was drinking fresh grapefruit juice and adding chilies to it. I asked them about that … The chilies make (the juice) sweeter and less bitter.”

Now Wade is putting hot sauce in some of her cocktails to see how the flavors interact. So far, she’s had good luck.

And the options are limitless. In recent years there has been a classic cocktail revival. So Wade has been tinkering with classic recipes, updating them with subtle substitutions.

“The owners (of 715) are great,” says Wade. “They have done a really good job of hiring people so they’re able to trust their staff and their creativity. They trust

the bartenders to know what people like to drink. They kind of just let us do our thing. …

“It’s almost always a collaboration. Most of the time it’s a bartender with an idea.

Then we tinker with it until we come up with something everyone thinks is good. … It’s nice to set a drink that you’re proud of down in front of somebody and watch them appreciate it.”

WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU LEMONS Delicious/ NUTRITIOUS

SARAH HENNING & MEGAN STUKE

T

his month, our Go! chefs have come up with several variations on lemons — a meal, a snack and a drink. What more could you ask?

Delicious I’m married to Mr. Meat and Potatoes. That means that our dinners have some required components, the main one being meat.

So on the rare occasion I have a dinner at home alone, I like to make things that might not tempt my husband’s palette.

Also, when I get to cook for just myself, I like to keep it really simple. I spend enough time in the kitchen cooking for other people, so when I cook for myself I like it to be fast, maybe a little girly, and delicious.

I am a huge fan of lemon. When there are desserts to be had, I seek out anything tart and lemony first. I love lemon Popsicles, lemon curd, lemon in my water, lemon cookies … you get the idea.

But we don’t have to limit our lemon love to just sweets. Oh, no. The lemon is multifaceted. Its glories travel far and wide.

I like to zest them to add to salads, cole slaw, bread dough, whatever I can think of. I juice them for salad dressing, sauces, cocktails, and I squeeze them over pasta.

Lemon pasta is my “husband’s out” dinner. I can make it in the time it takes to boil spaghetti, and it feels like a little treat. Something just for me, something light and fresh but filling and decadent all at the same time.

Because it seems silly to write a recipe for one, I’m doing it for four. Feel free to pare down the proportions for those delicious moments of solo dinner and “Real Housewives.” Admit it, ladies. You watch when you have the chance.

HUSBAND’S OUT SIMPLE LEMON PASTA 8 oz dried spaghetti (or linguini, or bowties, whatever you love most) 3 large lemons 5 cloves garlic, minced

LEMONS ADD A SUMMERY FLAVOR to dinner, drinks or snacks. The center dish is Megan’s Husband’s Out Simple Lemon Pasta. Also pictured are Sarah’s two-second lemonade, left, and ice box lemon bars, right.

And one of the best things about lemon? You get all that taste for virtually nothing calorically. One lemon juiced has just 12 calories and 36 percent of your daily vitamin C. Fantastic, right?

2 tablespoons olive oil 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese 1 large egg handful of parsley salt and pepper While you cook the spaghetti (in heavily salted water — I can’t stress this enough for all dried, storebought pasta), prepare your “sauce.” I use the word sauce lightly because this is not really a saucy pasta in the way we think of pasta with red sauce or alfredo or any other really prominent sauces.

Heat the olive oil in a skillet and mince the garlic. Toss it in with a pinch of salt and stir, and watch carefully as the garlic browns. It will happen fast, and you really, really do not want to burn it. Just lightly toast it until it’s bursting with that good, roasted garlic aroma.

Remove your pasta from the boiling water before it’s too done. You want it “al dente” — firm, but not hard.

Keep the pasta hot — I like to put it in a casserole dish with a lid. While it is still hot, crack the egg over it, and use a fork or tongs to toss, toss, toss it until it’s coated.

That hot pasta should cook the egg and bind things a

little. (Hint: If you think the egg isn’t cooking, put the whole thing in the microwave for 30 seconds. I promise it will be OK.) Then just toss in the garlic and parsley, and squeeze the lemons over. Sprinkle with Parmesan and cracked black pepper, and eat.

You’re welcome.

NUTRITIOUS I’ve always been a chocoholic. ALWAYS. As a child, if I had my pick of something sweet, without fail I went with anything cocoa-related, and, thus, probably looked like I’d been gargling mud during 70 percent of my early years.

Thus, it wasn’t until I was a full-fledged adult that I discovered the simple pleasure of vanilla (or the fact that it went so well with things not made by Hershey’s). From there, I’ve been learning to cherish all sorts of flavors, and one of my rut-inducing favorites lately has been lemon.

All things lemon.

And one of the best things about lemon? You get all that taste for virtually nothing calorically. One lemon

juiced has just 12 calories and 36 percent of your daily vitamin C. Fantastic, right?

Right.

Now that it’s nearly summer (and it certainly FEELS like summer out there), I thought I’d share two of my absolute staples these days: Ice Box Lemon Bars and Two-Second Lemonade.

I find both of these recipes as quick as they are delicious, which is probably why I’m constantly making them. The lemon bars taste like Lara Bars and have no refined sugar, flour or oils. The lemonade tastes just like the real thing (minus the wacky processed yellow or pink coloring) and contains virtually no calories.

ICE BOX LEMON BARS 1 cup raw cashews (do not use the roasted and salted kind) 1/2 cup medjool dates (or regular old chopped dates, though they’ll have to be soaked for 15 minutes or so to soften them), chopped 1/2 cup dried figs, chopped (with stems removed if not using stemless) 1/2 cup cashew butter (again, you want to avoid the roasted or salted kind) 2.5 to 3 tablespoons lemon zest (from 3 or 4 medium to large lemons) Pinch of sea salt Place the figs and dates in a food processor and process until they’re basically a chunky paste. Scrape the figs and dates into a medium mixing bowl and set aside.

Put the cashews, lemon zest and sea salt in the food processor (no need to clean it first). Process until the cashews

{

are ground into smaller chunks.

Add the cashew butter and the fig-date mixture. Process until the “dough” starts forming a ball inside the processor. Scrape the dough into the mixing bowl.

To shape, you can do a number of things. If you have a silicone, divided brownie pan, flatten the dough in each of the squares and then freeze (that’s how we got the square shapes for the photo).

If you don’t, you can press the dough in a 7x11 glass baking pan and freeze, scoring the dough into squares or rectangles before putting it in the freezer. Or you can roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined brownie pan or jellyroll sheet and freeze. You can also flatten these balls into traditional cookie shapes and freeze. Or mold the dough into silicone mini cupcake “wrappers.”

The sky’s the limit!

Note: If the dough seems too dry, put the dough back into the food processor and add another date or two to help it bind. You can also add a bit of lemon juice or more zest if you find the dough not to be as tangy as you want.

TWO-SECOND LEMONADE Per glass: 1 to 1-1/4 cups cold water Juice of one lemon 1 dropper full of liquid stevia (or to taste) Lemon wedge for garnish (optional) Pour lemon juice into each glass, making sure no seeds make it in. Pour in cold water. Squirt in stevia. Garnish with lemon wedge if preferred. Enjoy!

“Now it’s your turn, mom!”

New column co-author to take helm Dr. Wes: As always, this year’s Double Take contest was a competitive affair. It was made even more so by the difficulty of the challenge question, which, by the breadth of rankings, seems to have created as much disagreement for the judges as for the prospective coauthors.

Nevertheless, we tied our previous record with eight completed applications, four from Free State, three from Bishop Seabury Academy and one from Lawrence High, spread evenly between juniors and seniors. In addition to the challenge question, each wrote a second essay at my office on a topic not revealed until the day of the interview. Our six judges included former Double Take coauthor Ben Markley, and Deborah Shouse and Dane Zeller (danezeller.com) of Kansas City Writers Group.

Both essays were blind-reviewed and ranked from 1 to 8. The interview was given greater weight this year as new radio and TV opportunities open up for the column, and the coauthor will be featured on some of them.

Emily VanSchmus, a Free State High School senior, was this year’s runner-up.

She’ll complete the year and receive the scholarship if the winner cannot. Emily’s submission essay and that of very close third-place applicant Logan Brown, FSHS junior, can be read online at ljw.bz/K0jhKb. We hope Logan and the other three juniors who applied this year will give it a second try again next year. Their work was excellent.

This year’s winner is Katie Guyot, FSHS senior. She had strong essays on difficult questions, a thoughtful, intelligent interview, and great topics to bring to next year’s column. She’ll serve as coauthor through August 2013 and receive a $1,000 scholarship from Dr-Wes.com and another $100 from Central National Bank.

In response to the challenge question, she wrote: There is a crucial difference between con-

Double TAKE DR. WES CRENSHAW AND MIRANDA DAVIS

CHALLENGE QUESTION I had a bad experience recently while I was drinking. I don’t remember everything that happened, but I do know somebody I don’t like and don’t have a relationship with had sex with me. I only told two friends.

One says that it was date rape and the other says it I shouldn’t accuse him of that because I was so wasted that I might have done it voluntarily, and besides nobody will believe me that it wasn’t consensual. What should I do? sensual sex and the supposedly “voluntary” inebriated sex you experienced. The first involves two individuals who make a conscious, collaborative decision to engage in sexual activity. The second indicates that at least one of the individuals involved was not aware that the most private regions of his or her body were being invaded.

I don’t want to spend a paragraph preaching about the dangers of alcohol — I’m sure this incident has done more to

drive you away from drinking than 1,000 school pledges to “just say no” ever could — but alcohol is both what catalyzed this situation and what is now preventing you from actively confronting it.

Without clear memories of what happened that night, you are understandably confused about how to react. It’s difficult to assemble a jigsaw puzzle when half of the pieces are missing.

However, after reading your letter, I’m convinced that you have an intuitive idea of how the picture is supposed to look, even if you don’t have the edge pieces. The way you phrased the second sentence is particularly telling: you didn’t say, “We had sex;” you said, “[He] had sex with me.” That tells me that no matter how fuzzy your memory may be, you believe this person knowingly took advantage of you while you were in a vulnerable mental and physical state — and that, to be blunt, is rape.

Rape is an emotionally strenuous event that you should not confront alone. If you feel comfortable talking to your parents about it, I encourage you to go to them with the full story. If not, you may consider contacting GaDuGi SafeCenter, which offers free, confidential counseling to victims of sexual violence.

You cannot concern yourself with the consequences the young man will face. If he was as drunk as you were when he had sex with you, he is probably feeling lost and confused as well. If he was sober, he must learn that his actions were unacceptable. Besides, it is incredibly difficult to prove rape in court without having a hospital collect evidence immediately, so legal repercussions will probably not be forthcoming.

The most important factor to consider when confronting the aftermath of nonconsensual sex is how you feel about it. Whatever the situation, and no matter who or what can take the blame, you have the sole right to your own body. When that right is violated, you are entitled to defend it.

Community gears up for Relay for Life

BY KARREY BRITT

H

undreds of community members are gearing up for Relay For Life of Douglas County, which is June

8-9.

If you haven’t been, you are missing out.

Relay For Life is an annual activityfilled overnight event that raises awareness about cancer and money for the American Cancer Society.

This year’s event will be from 7 p.m.

June 8 to 7 a.m. June 9 at Free State High School’s track. The track will be lined with luminarias that honor cancer survivors, remember loved ones lost and to support those fighting the disease.

The relay involves teams of participants, usually eight to 15, who raise money between the kickoff party in January and the event. At the event, team members take turns walking around the track and camp out while activities go on throughout the night.

Last year, 66 teams participated and raised $164,357.

One of the highlights at the Relay For Life event is when cancer survivors take the first lap on the track at 7 p.m. Last year, about 250 survivors participated.

The event is free and open to the public.

Here’s the lineup of activities:

5:30 p.m. June 8 — Children’s activities area opens.

7 p.m. — Opening ceremony and survivor’s lap.

9:15 p.m. — Luminaria ceremony begins.

5:30 a.m. — Closing ceremony begins.

To make a donation to Relay For Life of Douglas County, visit relayforlife.org/ douglasks or make a donation at the event.

This year’s goal is to raise $175,000.

Throughout the month, area residents will be sharing their stories about how cancer has touched their lives on WellCommons under the Relay For Life of Douglas County’s group page.

We encourage you to share stories to help raise awareness about how cancer affects so many lives.

Also, WellCommons will be donating $1 for each new member who joins the group.

Later this month, there will be a threepart series on WellCommons about the beneficiaries of Relay For Life.

Since 1999, the Lawrence event has raised $1.6 million.

SAFETY ON THE TRAILS LAWRENCE RESIDENTS LORI WHITE, LEFT, and Ricki Endsley take off around a turn as they run on the north Kansas River trails on Thursday.

Pick the right path, take a few simple precautions

BY SARA SHEPHERD

L

eslie Swearingen, 66, once hiked regularly but hasn’t gotten out much in recent years. Now, the Lawrence resident says she has a number of health problems and doctor’s orders to start exercising again.

“I was thinking I could walk on a trail, and the scenery would be so nice,” Swearingen says. “It wouldn’t be the same as just plodding along the sidewalk.”

However, like many potential trail users tempted by spring weather and fresh air, Swearingen wonders, “How safe is it?”

Part of trail safety involves choosing the right path for your skill level and sureness of foot. Even though crimes are unusual — four have been reported in the past four years, police say — it’s important to follow personal safety guidelines, too.

Lawrence trail users range from strolling families to competitive athletes, and the city has routes to fit them all, says Mark Hecker, assistant director for Lawrence Parks and Recreation. He points out that in Lawrence, plenty of trails worth exploring are only minutes away.

“It’s not like you have to take a four-hour drive in the car to go walk around the woods,” he says. “You just pop over there in an evening and go take a walk.”

OPTIONS ABOUND Here’s a look at some of the most popular trails for varying abilities.

EASY The best easy trails — popular with senior citizens — are around Prairie Park Nature Center, 2730 Harper St., Hecker says.

Paved trails weave through woods and around Mary’s Lake, with loops ranging in distance from about a quarter-mile to 3 miles. They are fairly flat and easy to access from parking lots.

Nick Krug/Journal-World Photo

Lawrence Transit buses even stop at the nature center.

Lawrence Rotary Arboretum, 5100 W. 27th St., is home to a number of other easy, paved trails, including loops around the pond and softball complex.

MODERATE (PAVED) The South Lawrence Trafficway trail is paved but long, Hecker says, making it popular for bicyclists or runners looking to cover more than a mile or two.

The east access point is at Hollywood Southwind Cinema 12, 3433 Iowa. The trail extends all the way to Interstate 70 at the northwest corner of town, but Hecker says few people travel that far. Patrons also can access the South Lawrence Trafficway trail at the arboretum.

MODERATE (UNPAVED) The best are the Thomas-Hunter Walking Trails at Lawrence Nature Park, Hecker said, referencing paths at the 100-acre park on Folks Road, about a mile north of Sixth Street.

GET BIKINI BODY READY!

It’s an unpaved, natural trail yet well-defined — with lots of ups and downs but nowhere you’d have to clamber over a boulder.

Scenery includes limestone outcroppings and a variety of trees and native grasses.

Other popular unpaved trails include the Riverfront Park trail east of the Kansas River and the half-mile urban trail that runs between Burcham Park, 200 Ind., and Constant Park, 230 W. Sixth St.

DIFFICULT When it comes to more difficult trails, perhaps no one knows them better than members of the Lawrence Trail Hawks.

When he’s training for a 100-mile race, Gary Henry, 55, a founding member of the off-road running club, might spend up to 24 hours a week cruising the dirt paths around the Kansas River and Clinton Lake.

The Kansas River trails, with a trailhead at Eighth and Oak streets in North Lawrence, are relatively smooth and flat, Henry says. However, for that reason they also attract

a number of inexperienced mountain bikers — who have, on occasion, collided with groups of runners.

“If you’re out there on foot … be careful of bicycle riders, because we share the trails,” Henry says.

The most technical trails are around Clinton Lake. The Trail Hawks use a trailhead near the Corps of Engineers building on North 1402 Road.

“They’re rocky and rooty, and you have to pay attention when you’re out on them,” Henry says, adding that despite trip hazards, “only the most experienced mountain bikers use them, and they know to watch out for walkers and runners.”

SAFETY ON THE TRAILS Run, walk or bike with a buddy.

“That is the best, number-one thing you can do is have somebody with you,” says Lawrence Police Officer Rob Neff, the department’s Neighborhood Resource Officer. “You’re always safer in pairs or a group.”

Lawrence police do not actively patrol trails, Neff says, although officers on bicycles occasionally ride the paths.

Neff says he’s aware of four crimes on the trails in recent years.

In June 2010, a man brutally beat and stabbed a woman who was bicycling alone between the YSI fields and the Clinton Lake Dam. Two runners interrupted the attack and likely saved the woman’s life, Neff said.

William E. Nichols later was sentenced to 14 years in prison for the crime, after pleading guilty to aggravated battery, aggravated kidnapping and aggravated sexual battery.

In August 2009, a naked man tried to pull a teenage girl off her bike near the Eighth Street boat ramp in North Lawrence. The suspect, Gregory Curtis Way, pleaded guilty to one count

of sexual battery and was sentenced to probation. Neff says the same man was suspected in two other reports about a naked man on the trails.

Neff says the girl was probably able to pull away from her attacker because she spotted him in time to speed up.

In addition to the buddy system, Neff offered these safety tips:

Be aware of your surroundings.

Being “buried” in emails or text messaging takes your focus away from your surroundings, as do earphones.

Take them out.

Make eye contact. People passing by will know you’re watching them.

In trailhead parking lots, lock your car and avoid leaving valuables in view. When leaving and approaching your car, keep your head and eyes up. Keep the car locked while you’re sitting in it.

Carry a cell phone. If a crime does occur on the trails, call 911 immediately to report it.

If you are attacked, and you choose to fight back, Neff suggests trying SSS — screaming, scratching and stomping. “These are three things you can do without training,” he says, adding that not only does scratching hurt, it can glean DNA evidence that would help charge a suspect.

One of the last threats on the trails — especially wooded ones favored by the Trail Hawks — is wildlife.

In summertime, bug spray will help repel ticks, Henry says.

Trail runners also have encountered copperhead snakes, which are poisonous but not known for being aggressive. Henry says your best bet is to carefully walk around them and continue enjoying your jaunt on the trails.

GO OUTDOORS FOR FRESH WORKOUTS

T

he sun is shining, the grass is green, and it’s simply too beautiful to stay indoors.

When the humidity begins to climb and the heat becomes oppressive, we can take our workouts back into the gym and have a well-deserved respite from the elements.

But for now, let’s celebrate the season and reward ourselves with an outdoor workout.

Every weekend gives us a new opportunity to walk, run and cycle our way to better health.

We have 5Ks and 10Ks every weekend, often for a good cause. We have miles of trails at Clinton Lake and around the Kansas River.

The University of Kansas is well known for having one of the most beautiful campuses in the country. The hills that surround it are nothing but a bonus for those of us who love an incline challenge!

We have Red Dog’s Dog Days, that certainly take on a new and very literal meaning as the summer months approach.

And if walking and strolling along is more your speed, you can start at one end of Massachusetts Street and make your way around to the other side.

We truly have a plethora of outdoor venues at our disposal, and that makes it all the more appealing to take our workouts out of doors.

My boot camp participants love the fact that every workout is in a different place, with new things to gaze at and ponder as we sweat it out and make ourselves stronger.

The best thing of all about working out in the great outdoors is simply the fact that it helps to alleviate boredom, which is a very significant factor in why many individuals fall off of the workout wagon in the first place.

I have two very basic moves to share with you this week, and both of them can very easily be done on your patio, your deck or even in your driveway, if that’s what you want to do. Open your door and step outside.

I’ve written about the equipment seen here previously, medicine balls and dumbbells, so you should be a little familiar with them. They are easy to find and travel well, so you can take your fitness show on the road, if you so choose.

As is the case with everything exerciseoriented, form is essential. Always take the time to set yourself properly. Know what muscle groups you are targeting, be mindful of your breathing, and always contract your abdominal muscles.

As I See

FIT JENNIFER OSBORN

We truly have a plethora of outdoor venues at our disposal, and that makes it all the more appealing to take our workouts out of doors.

ONE-ARM ROW: With knee slightly forward and bent, hold weight in your opposite hand with arm perpendicular to the floor, left. Bend elbow and lift to shoulder level, right.

Give these exercises a try. They are very basic and are good for all fitness levels.

There are modifications for everything, so if you need further explanation or a variation, just let me know. Let’s get outside, let’s step it up, and let’s make it count!

ONE-ARM ROW Place left knee slightly forward and slightly bent. Hold an 8-pound to MEDICINE BALL REACHES: Hold a medicine ball to your chest, above, then push 10-pound weight in your right hand, with it toward your toes, below, lifting your shoulders off the mat. your right arm perpendicular to the floor.

Bend right elbow to lift weight to shoulder level.

Lower and repeat 15 times.

Remember to keep the weight close to your body.

MEDICINE BALL REACHES Lie on a mat with your legs raised and together. Hold a 5-pound to 10-pound medicine ball on your chest.

Push the ball toward your toes while contracting your abdominals and making sure that your shoulders are off of the mat.

Drop back down and repeat 20 times.

Your arms remain extended for the entire time.

Goodbye, Anne O

n April 1, I was sitting in a meeting of Zen teachers in Rhode Island (yes, Zen teachers have meetings) with several folks patched in by speakerphone (yes, it felt antediluvian, but Skype is unreliable).

At the end of the meeting, one of the people patching in, Anne Rudloe from Panacea, Fla., spoke up. She hadn’t traveled to the meeting because she was gravely ill with cancer and wanted to tell us how much we meant to her, how grateful she was for Zen practice and for our friendship, and that it was unlikely she would live to see us again. Twenty-six days later, she was dead.

Anne said all this as if it was the most ordinary thing in the world. She told us she would be dead soon in the same way you might tell someone you were about to brush your teeth.

You know that song from “The Lion King,” “Circle of Life”? The rest of us give lip service to it, but Anne attained it in her bones.

We all know that life is predicated on death, but for most of us this is a kind of abstract knowledge. We tend to find the thought of our own personal extinction as a body here on earth absolutely terrifying.

Or depressing. Or, if we believe in heaven and are certain we will get there, joyful. Or maybe simply confusing. But however we find it, we find it special, difficult to grasp and hard to accept. Our own death is a Certifiable Big Deal.

Not Anne. Anne was a marine biologist, and it is from that down-to-earth point of view that she intimately saw everything as part of everything else.

Here she is in a video about sea grasses: “This is a sea urchin … it is a grazer out here, it feeds on the sea grass and it feeds on the dead pieces of sea grass. This is a predatory snail, it feeds on other mollusks and it in turn is eaten by some of the larger snails out here …” And when she finally

Everyday

LIFE JUDITH ROITMAN gets to the sea grasses, she tells you all the little mollusks you find living on them.

She was incapable of mentioning any creature without mentioning how it fit in with other creatures.

And then there’s her remarkable video “The Nature of Cancer,” made four years ago after her first round of treatment. Explaining how death is essential for life, she says,“If Mozart had never died, Stravinsky could never have appeared.” She speaks of “the brilliance of the process,” of “a vaster and extraordinary reality.” She says this cheerfully, without any kind of fuss. This is simply how things are.

Two days before she died, a mutual friend called her to ask about a practical matter. “When I’m gone, talk to my husband about it,” she said, as if dying was like going off to, say, Brazil. Or the grocery store.

Maybe it is. For now, there is nothing left to say except: Goodbye, Anne. You are greatly missed.

One day, I’m at Arizona Trading Company trying to find a replacement pair for the ones that have been missing for a week, and the next day, I’m choosing which shades to wear out of a mound of sunglasses that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere on my kitchen counter.

I act like this is a bad thing. I act like I’m frustrated about having 35 pairs of sunglasses floating around.

It’s not true. I love it. I love that my own forgetfulness can add a little zest to my selection of shades.

My frugality won’t allow me to buy another pair of sunglasses if I already have some in my possession. No, I must lose all my sunglasses so my conscience will allow me to purchase more. This summer, I’ll be leaving my shades in forgotten handbags, under my couch and in friends’ cars just so I can buy a pair that reflects this season’s theme: the brighter, the bolder, the weirder, the better.

The thought pattern over the past couple summers has been, “I don’t care what my sunglasses look like, just make sure they’re huge.”

TRY SUNGLASSES IN A NEW SHAPE OR COLOR this summer. Examples shown are from the spring 2012 collections of Carolina Herrera, left, and Prabal Gurung, right, at Fashion Week in New York last September.

Not so for this summer. Gone are the days of the bug-eyed sunglasses that acted more as a full-face shield than simple protective eye covering. This season, it’s all about color, pattern and interesting shape.

The Ray Ban square, the Wendy Peffercorn cat-eye (“The Sandlot,” anyone?) or

the John Lennon round — pick whatever frame fits your face shape and style the best.

The funky shades we’re seeing this summer complement the huge, crazy prints, neon bags and tank tops, and bright color-blocked outfits that have been walking

down the runway for Spring 2012.

If you have a square face, try out a cateye or oval frame. If you have a heartshaped face, get round glasses or a cat-eye in order to add some width to the lower part of your face while softening your broad forehead. A long face calls for some oversized shades to plump up the width of your face. Try rectangular frames if you have a round face. Have an oval-shaped face? You’re in luck — any shape will look great on you.

If you’re unsure of where to look to score some new shades, I would suggest local shops like Arizona Trading Company, 736 Mass.; The Antique Mall, 830 Mass.; or Wild Man Vintage, 939 Mass.

If you also require prescription eyewear, check out Wink, 806 Mass., or Crandon and Crandon Optometrists, 1019 Mass.

If you’ve had luck finding some funky shades this summer at a local store not listed above, please mention them in the comments at Lawrence.com. I’m still on the hunt for the perfect pair of summer shades and could use some help finding some.

A case of mistaken identity

River City Jules

I

t all started when I caught a glimpse of my friend, Mark, in a commercial for the Shoot-a-Brew on the Food Network series “Invention Hunters.”

Excited to see the invention is making its way to our DVR (at 8 tonight on the Food Network), I texted Mark and a few other friends to share the news.

A long time passed before a text appeared from Mark asking only, “Who is this?”

Now, Mark and I don’t text often, maybe three times per year. It didn’t surprise me that my number wouldn’t even be programmed into his phone. His wife is one of my best friends, and I usually only communicate with her.

This seemed like a perfect chance to joke around with Mark, though, which is why I replied by saying I was Heather Locklear, using Julie Dunlap’s phone. And, because the 13-year-old I harbor not too deep inside thought it would be funny, I added a line about being Heather’s body double.

Quite a bit of time passed before I received a five-part text from a man claiming I had just tried to contact his wife. He wanted to know, among other things, who I was as well as information about Heather Locklear’s real identity.

At this point I realized not only had Mark changed his number, but not everyone recognizes a 40-year-old woman overcome by a moment of immaturity when faced with her.

I immediately sent a heartfelt and humble apology to the gentleman and his wife explaining that I had the wrong number, begging their forgiveness and wishing them a happy anniversary, which, as the man had pointed out in part two of his text series, they were celebrating that day.

Shaking, I called my bestie to confirm her husband’s number.

JULIE DUNLAP

“Sure! It’s nine-” she happily started before I cut her off. The number I had texted earlier began with a seven.

“Oh, crap,” I sighed, filling her in on Mark’s former number’s new owner. Apparently Mark had changed numbers just a few months earlier but failed to mention this to his entire contact list, and now some poor couple had their first wedding anniversary interrupted with what they saw as thinly veiled harassment by someone posing as Heather Locklear.

Suddenly my phone rang. It seemed the man still questioned my motive.

I, too, questioned myself. And I wished for a time machine. But, with both my and Heather Locklear’s reputations to uphold, I had to face the music.

I answered the phone by launching into the longest, most awkward apology of my life. Still unconvinced, he asked if he could verify my identity.

And this is where you come in.

Rather than giving him access to my Facebook page as he requested, I directed him to the Lawrence Journal-World, where I’m hoping he will finally agree, after reading about braces, bad perms and toilet-trained cats (and maybe some character references from my readers?), I am definitely not Heather Locklear.

Growing popularity in restaurants and at home has expanded the microgreens list to include most plants with edible leaves.

GROW MICROGREENS

P

lanting a tray or two of microgreens is an easy foray into gardening and a fun way to get a fix of fresh veggies before seasonal crops come to fruition.

Step 1: Choose a selection of seeds including greens, lettuces and herbs. Traditional microgreens started out as mixes of arugula, basil, beets, kale and cilantro.

Growing popularity in restaurants and at home has expanded the microgreens list to include most plants with edible leaves, including mustards, peas, beets and cabbages.

Step 2: Choose a container that is at least two inches deep, with drainage holes.

Traditional plant-starting trays work fine, or get creative. Discarded produce trays or round planter saucers work well too.

Step 3: Fill the container with organic potting soil or another chemicalfree growing medium. Fill deeper pots within two inches from the top to allow adequate exposure to light. Increase the microgreens’ nutritional value and flavor by adding worm castings, seaweed, kelp or beneficial micro-organisms to the soil before planting.

Step 4: Sow a mixture of seeds 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch apart over the entire soil surface.

Step 5: Cover seeds with 1/8 inch of soil and water well. Soil should have the con-

sistency of a wrung out sponge — moist, but not soaking. Using a spray bottle to mist the soil multiple times daily often works well.

Step 6: Place the container in a window or in a sheltered area outside. Microgreens need about six hours of direct or filtered light. A south-facing window or sunny porch works best.

Step 7: If possible, cover the container with clear plastic until the seeds have germinated.

Step 8: Within two to four weeks, depending on seed selection, the microgreens should be ready to harvest. Harvest the greens shortly after the first real set of leaves has appeared and the greens are between 2 inches to 4 inches tall.

Step 9: Harvest the greens by snipping them off at the base of their stems with a good pair of scissors. Use the greens in salads, sandwiches or pasta dishes, or eat them alone with a sprinkle of olive oil and a dash of vinegar.

Step 10: Once the greens have been harvested, till the remaining roots into the soil with a fork, sow another layer of seeds, cover with dirt, water and watch as a second crop rears their tiny green heads.

Program provides peace for patients and their pets MUNROE FALLS, OHIO (MCT) — Tell Katherine to go protect her mom, and the diminutive Jack Russell terrier jumps to Dolores Starcher’s side.

The companionship is one of the few pleasures the 75-year-old woman, who suffers from progressive supranuclear palsy, or PSP, can still enjoy.

Not only is the pint-sized pooch Starcher’s protector, she is also her buddy and a constant source of pleasure, said Susan Oblisk, Starcher’s daughter.

“She calls Katherine her little angel,” Oblisk said.

Starcher, a patient in Summa Health System’s Palliative Care and Hospice Services, can keep the dog by her side because she is enrolled in Summa’s Pet Peace of Mind program that assists terminally ill people and their pets.

Pets are a lifeline and the reason people get out of their beds on some days, said Lori Flesher, a licensed social worker and bereave-

ment coordinator for Summa.

“Pets need us as much as we need them and they give us so much back. During a serious illness a person may experience physical and emotional changes that may make other people uncomfortable and so others may pull away or treat the person who is ill differently. But pets stick with us no matter what by providing unconditional love, listening to us and providing physical contact,” she said.
