Legislature finishes what it can, adjourns Huge income tax cuts allowed to stand

By John Hanna Associated Press

TOPEKA — Kansas legislators adjourned their contentious annual session Sunday with Gov. Sam Brownback’s conservative Republican allies crowing that they’ve set the state on a new and prosperous economic course with a

coming wave of income tax cuts.

Critics, including Democratic and moderate Republicans, were equally certain that Kansas faces years of budget problems.

They predicted the state

will slash spending on schools, social services and other programs because of the aggressive tax cuts that Brownback is preparing to sign into law this week.

The income tax cuts,

along with an already scheduled sales tax reduction, will provide $231 million in tax relief for the fiscal year beginning July 1, with the annual figure growing to $934 million after six years. The bill on

Brownback’s desk would cut top individual income tax rates for 2013 and eliminate income taxes for the owners of 191,000 businesses.

Those tax reductions overshadowed the last

The rows of students that filed into Lawrence High School’s commencement ceremony were future teachers, engineers, Army Rangers and graphic artists. They dreamed of one day owning a day care center, joining the Marines Corps or just becoming millionaires.

Ashlee Bourdon-Hixson told her classmates Sunday afternoon that she expected to see some of them on television or hear them on the radio “doing something amazing.”

Shelter leader makes case for funding ——

Services provided would otherwise fall to city, county

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

The leader of Lawrence’s lone homeless shelter said he’ll lobby hard for a significant increase in funding for its 2013 budget, despite a negative recommendation from a key city advisory board.

“We are in need of the funding because we have all these people, and I just think it is time for the city to help us on a more regular basis,” said Loring Henderson, director of the Lawrence Community Shelter, who said the organization was grateful for previous city funding. “But this is not the shelter’s problem alone.”

As part of its 2013 budget request, the shelter asked for a $64,000 increase in city funding to bring its total to $149,000. But the city’s Social Service Funding Advisory Board recently met and recommended just a $6,000 increase for the shelter. The board’s recommendation will be forwarded to city commissioners in early June, and commissioners will make the final decision on the funding amount when they vote on a 2013 budget later this summer.

Henderson said the shelter is faced with a significant funding shortfall because of larger numbers of people the shelter is serving on a daily basis. Traditionally, the shelter has housed about 70 to 75 people per night. But now the demand is consistently more than 90 people a night, with many families with children seeking services. The shelter now operates an overflow shelter at a local church each night, which has increased the shelter’s staffing expenses.

Henderson said the 125-bed facility will make housing the homeless more efficient but won’t eliminate the need for increased funding.

“This is just a volume problem,” Henderson said. “The supplies, the food, the supervision all come with a cost.

There is just this need out there that doesn’t go away.”

Casey Toomay, city budget director, said the advisory board struggled with its recommendations because the requests for funding from social service agencies significantly outnumbered the available dollars in the city’s budget.

“They found it challenging, but they came up with recommendations that they really thought reflected the priorities of the commission,” Toomay said.

Part of the challenge is that the advisory board was told to assume there would be no increase in the total amount of city funding available to distribute to the social service agencies throughout the city. Board members were told they had about $530,000 in property and sales tax funds to distribute and about $315,000 in special liquor tax revenues to award.

Both amounts are basically the same as from a year ago.

Henderson said he understood the advisory board would be reluctant to grant a major increase in funding to the shelter if it meant reductions had to be made to other organizations. Henderson, though, said he is no longer certain the shelter should be competing against other social service agencies for funding.

The city has a portion of its budget where it pays organizations a “vendor payment” to provide a service that the city would

— Lawrence Community Shelter director Loring Henderson have to otherwise provide on its own. Organizations such as the Lawrence Arts Center, Douglas County Legal Aid, and the Lawrence Humane Society fall into that category. The shelter, however, does not.

“I’m beginning to think that is how we ought to be viewed,” Henderson said. “We definitely provide a service to both the city and the county that I think they would have to provide otherwise.”

City commissioners in March approved a special $100,000 appropriation to the shelter to help it boost its finances.

At the time, Henderson told commissioners that he would be making a similar request during the 2013 budget process.

Henderson in March also asked for $100,000 from Douglas County, but county commissioners have yet to consider that request, Henderson said.

He said he hopes county commissioners still will consider the 2012 funding request, and he said he has made a similar request to be included in the county’s 2013 budget.

In total, about two dozen social service organizations requested funding in 2013 from the city.

City staff members were still compiling a report showing funding recommendations for all the groups, but Toomay said funding was particularly tight in the city’s Special Alcohol fund, which seeks to provide funding for organizations that provide alcohol abuse treatment or prevention programs. A full list off funding recommendations is expected to be released in the next several days.

BALDWIN CITY

Fire damages arts center

By Elvyn Jones ejones@theworldco.com

An early Sunday morning fire damaged the Lumberyard Arts Center in Baldwin City, 718 High St. The fire started about 4:30 a.m., and firefighters reported fire showing on the north side of the building.

Baldwin City Fire Department Chief Allen Craig said there were no injuries, and he wasn’t able to give a damage estimate. The fire was under investigation, and officials were attempting to determine the cause, Craig said.

Fire protection measures built into the Lumberyard Arts Center proved their worth in the fire, said Sandy Cardens, Lumberyard Arts Center board secretary and gallery coordinator. Damage from the fire was limited to the nonrenovated north section of the building, which is to be a future theater, she said.

A sprinkler system in the north section went off

Legislature CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

“We are living in historic times, and Kansas — the world is looking at us right now,” said House Speaker Mike O’Neal, a conservative Hutchinson Republican. “Everybody’s just going to be amazed, and your constituents will be very proud of you.”

Brownback declared that Kansas will become “the best place in America to start and grow a small business.”

“The 2012 Legislative session came down to a simple question: Do we want to grow the government or grow the economy?” he said in a statement. “The resounding answer: We’re going to grow the economy.”

Unfinished business Though Brownback and his allies predicted Sunday that the aggressive income tax cuts will provide a jobs-creating boost to the economy, they’d been worried enough about future budgets problems to look for less aggressive alternatives, some phasing in the same cuts over six years. The effort faltered amid recriminations over whether Brownback and his allies, or moderate GOP senators and theirs, were inflexible.

The Legislature’s research staff has projected that the combination of income and sales tax cuts will spawn a budget shortfall that would balloon to nearly $2.5 billion by July 2018 if left unchecked.

“If we can’t rectify some of the issues with that when we come back next year, there will be

with the fire, but a firewall kept sprinklers in the renovated southern section from activating.

“Everything worked as it was designed to,” Cardens said. “We’re very happy. It could have been a whole lot worse.

“The (Douglas County) fire marshal said the sprinkler system paid for itself last night.”

There was no damage to any artwork, Cardens said. Art in the central courtyard and classrooms was moved temporarily to the Baldwin City Chamber of Commerce office next door, but that in the gallery protected by another set of doors was left untouched, she said.

Cardens said she and other board members have not had the opportunity to assess structural damage to the north section, but several new windows installed last week in the clerestory will have to be replaced, she said.

The firewall also kept smoke and water damage to a minimum in the reno-

Marci Francisco, of Lawrence, Tom Holland, of Baldwin City, and Anthony Hensley, of Topeka, all voted yes on the final budget bill that passed the Senate, 22-13. huge problems,” said Senate President Steve Morris, a moderate Hugoton Republican who also was skeptical of even alternative proposals to phase the same cuts in over six years.

Sunday was the 99th day of the Legislature’s session — nine days longer than scheduled. The record is 107 days in 2002.

The only scheduled business remaining this year is a brief, formal adjournment ceremony June 1.

Lawmakers left one big task — redrawing political boundaries to reflect population shifts over the past decade — to a federal court. A bitter feud between GOP factions, anticipating primary elections that will determine which camp controls the Senate next year, prevented passage of any redistricting proposals. The acrimony spilled over into most other big issues, including taxes.

OK for this year The Senate approved the proposed budget on a 2213 vote just hours after the House passed it, 80-35. The measure was a compromise drafted by negotiators for the two chambers.

The spending plan didn’t need much more tightening once lawmakers settled tax issues, because the state expects to have adequate cash reserves to cover the tax

vated section, and Lumberyard board members are hopeful the arts center EDITORS can reopen this week.

Dennis Anderson, managing editor “We had people talking 832-7194, danderson@ljworld.com about opening on Tuesday,” Cardens said. “I Caroline Trowbridge, community editor 832-7154, ctrowbridge@ljworld.com suspect we’ll open a little Ann Gardner, editorial page editor later in the week if we get 832-7153, agardner@ljworld.com people in here cleaning Tom Keegan, sports editor right away.”

cuts and still have a $464 million surplus at the end of June 2013.

The forecast surplus for June 2013 is in sharp contrast to the projected shortfall Brownback faced when he took office early last year. And the proposed budget would boost base aid to public schools by $60 per pupil, or about 1.6 percent, offsetting a small portion of earlier reductions in aid prompted by the Great Recession.

O’Neal called it “a healthy budget.” House Majority Leader Arlen Siegfreid, a conservative Olathe Republican, said, “We found that by making bold moves, that we could change direction of Kansas.”

However, many critics of the tax cuts doubted the spending in the budget can be sustained into the future.

“This session is the beginning of devastating school cuts, social services cuts and critical government services that are not going to be able to be delivered in the same capacity,” said House Minority Leader Paul Davis, a Lawrence Democrat.

Under the tax bill, the state’s top individual income tax rate would drop to 4.9 percent from 6.45 percent for 2013. The business tax break is targeted at the owners of partnerships, sole proprietorships and other small businesses, though critics believe large companies will change their legal structures to take advantage.

The sales tax will drop to 5.7 percent from 6.3 percent in July 2013. Lawmakers promised the reduction two years ago when they boosted the rate to close a budget shortfall, before Brownback took office.

2 bills aimed at Lawrence ignored in final days of session

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Two measures that would have aff fected Lawrence, one on redistricting and one dealing with gay rights, fell by the wayside Sunday as the Legislature ended the 2012 session.

On Saturday, the House approved and sent to the Senate a congressional redistricting map that would have put north and east Lawrence in the mostly rural 1st U.S. House District that stretches all the way to the Kansas-Colorado border.

One day later, Senate leaders said they expected someone in the Senate would make a motion to concur with the Houseapproved map. But as the last-minute deals were made to end the session, no motion was made.

“I just don’t think the votes to pass that were

there,” said House Minority Leader Paul Davis, DLawrence. Davis added that several western Kansas senators opposed the proposal after U.S. Rep. Tim Huelskamp, R-Fowler, who represents the 1st, said he didn’t like it.

House Speaker Mike O’Neal, R-Hutchinson, who voted to put part of Lawrence in the 1st, said he was disappointed the Senate didn’t debate the map.

He said the 1st, which has been losing population, needs to extend into eastern Kansas to pick up population. He said he has heard no complaints from Lawrence about its current split between the 2nd and 3rd Districts, so splitting it between the 1st and 2nd seemed OK. But state Rep. Barbara Ballard, D-Lawrence, said it was unfair to put one of the state’s most Democratic areas into one of the

country’s most conservative districts.

“It was so illogical,” Ballard said of the proposal.

A federal court is likely to direct the setting of new boundaries for congressional, legislative and State Board of Education districts after the Legislature failed to accomplish that task.

Ballard said she was also glad that the Senate disregarded a measure that was called the Kansas Preservation of Religious Freedom Act. Supporters of the bill said it was needed to prevent government from forcing a person to violate their religious beliefs. It was approved by the House in March on a 91-33 vote.

But opponents of the bill said it would invite discrimination against gays and lesbians and invalidate a Lawrence antidiscrimination ordinance that includes sexual orientation.

“Until nearly the very end, we were unsure if we had the votes in the Senate to defeat this,” said Tom Witt, executive director of the Kansas Equality Coalition. “Ultimately, however, the results of our work became evident: We held the line, once

again, against an agenda of homophobia and intolerance.”

The Senate took no vote on the measure.

Ballard said she believed that there was opposition to the bill in the Senate from two camps: those who thought it would lead to discrimination and those who believe that local control off ordinances should prevail.

Courses CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

House Speaker Mike O’Neal, R-Hutchinson, had sponsored the original bill, saying that students who need remedial course work would be better served going to a community college rather than risk failing at a regents school.

The bill sent to Brownback would also set up individual plans for each student who is admitted to a regents university through the “exception window.”

The plans would be put together by the student and his or her adviser, and would focus on ways to ensure the student succeeded academically.

“They would set up a plan to help these students be successful,” said Rep. Lana Gordon, R-Topeka.

The bill also directs the Kansas Board of Regents to conduct a study on the

-"83&/$& t 45"5&

.

retention and graduation rates of students who are admitted through the exception window.

Schools are allowed to admit through the exception window 10 percent of their students who fail to meet minimum admission standards.

The bill would reduce the exception percentages at KU, Kansas State and Wichita State to 5 percent of the freshman class, and leave it at 10 percent at Emporia State, Fort Hays State and Pittsburg State.

But in practice, the schools are using the exception window at a lower rate than those set in the bill.

Emporia State is at 8.1 percent; Pittsburg State, 7.1 percent; and Fort Hays State, 6.8 percent. Kansas State was a 3.7 percent; Wichita State at 1.6 percent; and KU had the lowest rate of admitting students under the exception at 0.4 percent.

For Keith DeMint, who earned his sports administration degree Sunday, that’s easy: his Kappa Sigma fraternity.

“All the memories with my brothers,” said DeMint, originally from Sabetha.

Kansas open records law.

However, police have furnished brief case summaries indicating which complaints were sustained.

Here’s a breakdown of cases since 2010:

2010: 10 complaints, seven sustained.

2011: 24 complaints, 11 sustained.

2012 (through May 1): 13 complaints, five sustained. Four remain open.

The case summaries that police provided consisted of one or two sentences, and they did not include what disciplinary action was taken against officers. For example, the summary for the ticketfixing incident that the FBI investigated — in which no criminal charges were filed — said simply: “An anonymous complaint led to the investigation of officers for violation of the department’s gratuity and solicitation policy. The complaint was sustained.”

Those allegations involved the dismissal of a Kansas University athletic department official’s speeding tickets in exchange for KU basketball tickets. The city has not identified the two officers, but city officials have confirmed that Matt Sarna and Michael Monroe, both sergeants and longtime officers, no longer are employed with the department.

Khatib said his office would have proactively provided the public with information in the ticketfixing case once the investigation was complete.

However, information obtained by media outlets led the department to provide information sooner, he said.

Khatib did say there could be cases in which an officer was terminated for misconduct but which wouldn’t necessitate public notification.

The chief said he believes the current system is an effective way to inform the public about possible wrongdoing within the department, while not sacrificing the officers’ privacy.

The current process “strikes a good balance,” Khatib said.

Charles Davis, a journalism professor at the University of Missouri and author of two books on open records, disagrees.

“We have to take their

roommate was released from jail for an incident that had occurred at the home. The officer was exonerated.

A citizen reported being wrongfully arrested for trespassing. The officer was exonerated.

An officer failed to properly document the facts of a case in a police report. The complaint was sustained.

A citizen reported that his or her child was taken into protective custody by an officer without justification. The officer was exonerated.

An employee failed to report damage to a work vehicle. The complaint was sustained.

Four cases are still open.

Davis also questions the use of the personnel exemption as a rationale for limiting information.

In several states, media outlets have battled police agencies about similar exemptions, and courts have generally ruled on the side of transparency, Davis said.

Letting the public in on cases of police misconduct is “just part and parcel to be accountable to the public,” Davis said.

Their class might be the last one to remember where they were on Sept.

11, Fox said (they were second-graders in 2001).

As eighth-graders, they watched the Kansas University men’s basketball team win the national championship. And during their senior year, there were Friday night football games, Encore and prom.

“Remember your past few years here and how they defined you. Remember where you came from,” Fox told her classmates.

Under sunny skies, families and friends filled Free State’s stadium Sunday afternoon to watch more than 350 students graduate.

“This is your special day, graduates,” Superintendent Rick Doll said.

“And while it is the end of your high school career, we know it is only the beginning of your future.”

Fox wasn’t the only one recalling the class’s shared history during Sunday’s graduation ceremony.

A group of senior girls — Alex Hill, Natalie Hiebert and Amber Hicks — said the seniors’

defining memory will be “bomb threat Thursday,” a day last winter when classes were canceled because of a written bomb threat.

But they said there were plenty of other memories too.

“Let’s show the world what Lions are made of.”

In near perfect Kansas weather, LHS seniors and their families celebrated with air horns, beach balls, backflips and a few chest bumps.

Lawrence school board President Mark Bradford, whose son Zachary was graduating from LHS, had words of fatherly wisdom for the graduates.

“Punctuate your work with excellence, always do more than what is expected, play fair, work hard, be nice, don’t hit people, and don’t drink and text while you drive,”

time of my life,” Brock said of her three years at LHS. Andrew Stussie might be one of the fellow classmates that BourdonHixson will see on television, or at least behind the scenes of what is being filmed. He plans to go on to study film and theater, and work on movies.

“Overall, I’m pretty excited. But I’m also kind of sad,” Stussie said of graduation. “It’s the last time I’ll see the friends I’ve made in high school.”

As for Andrew Denny, he’ll be taking classes at Johnson County Community College and then he’d like to become an Army Ranger. He was ready to graduate.

“It’s good to be done and start the summer that is never really going to end,” he said.

Economic roles It’s not a bad idea to look at ways to ramp up the community’s economic development efforts.

L

awrence city commissioners recently agreed to continue moving forward on a proposal to create a new economic development structure for Lawrence and Douglas County.

It’s not a bad idea to look at ways to revamp the current lackluster strategy.

The proposal being considered would create a new Joint Economic Development Council that eventually could have its own budget and much more authority than local economic development advisory boards have had in the past.

There are many important questions city leaders should have answered before finalizing this new entity. Paramount will be an understanding of what type of decisions could be made by this new joint council and what type would continue to be made by elected bodies, like the city and county commissions.

However, commissioners should not become distracted by what likely will be a host of concerns expressed by neighborhood advocates. Already, members of the Lawrence Association of Neighborhoods have expressed concern that the new council won’t have enough professional expertise.

That’s an odd argument given the city created the position of economic development coordinator and planner several years ago at the request of many of these same neighborhood advocates. In addition, the newly hired Lawrence Chamber of Commerce president and CEO is a certified economic development professional. His background suggests he has significant professional expertise in economic development.

What these neighborhood advocates really are seeking is to have the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce removed from the economic development structure. That seems like the wrong strategy. The chamber of commerce needs to improve its operations, and we’re hopeful the new leader will do that, but the chamber has a role to play in our economic development efforts. Successful communities often raise private funds to supplement public support for economic development. Lawrence’s business community should be prepared to support a private economic development endowment in the future, and the chamber of commerce can play a critical role in making that happen.

City commissioners should continue to move ahead with a new formula for economic development in Lawrence and Douglas County. Leaders should be open to a variety of changes to make our area more competitive. When it comes to advancing our community, Lawrence too often suffers from a fear of change.

The community can no longer fear change. If we are to reach our potential as a community, we must change how we seek to grow it.

Indicators point to tight election BOSTON — Barack Obama’s opponent four years ago was a Republican who repressed his moderate and liberal instincts, who insisted he was a conservative, who seemed to be suffering from a political identity crisis, who had a sterling resume but a halting campaign style.

His opponent this time can be described ... exactly the same way.

So we’re familiar with what the Republicans will be peddling this time, though the name at the top of the GOP ticket won’t be John McCain but Mitt Romney.

The Democrats, of course, will be trying to sell Barack Obama again.

The story of the 2012 campaign may not be that the characteristics of the Republican candidate have changed.

The story may be that the same Democratic candidate is entirely different.

Last time, Barack Obama was an insurgent. This time he is an incumbent. Last time he was an outsider with hardly any experience. This time he is an insider with a record to defend. Last time he ran as a critic of administration economic policy. This time he is running as the spokesman of administration economic policy. Last time he pushed to suggest he was like Abraham Lincoln. This time he is working against the notion he is Jimmy Carter.

Nominees found lacking While Republicans, especially conservatives, bemoan the fact that they will be running a nominee much like the last one, Democrats, especially liberals, bemoan the fact that they don’t have the shiny, inspiring new political figure of 2008 to offer.

Presidents running for re-election in times of crisis — Woodrow Wilson in 1916, Franklin Roosevelt in 1936, Richard Nixon in 1972, Ronald Reagan in 1984 and George W. Bush in 2004 come to mind —

David Shribman dshribman@post-gazette.com

“

There hasn’t been a re-election battle like this since 1932, when — and this is largely forgotten now — the Republicans knew Herbert Hoover was vulnerable and the Democrats worried that FDR was neither ready for, nor up to, the job.” often pave the way to a second term by appealing to public reluctance to make a change in a period of peril. As Obama’s Illinois predecessor said at the Republican convention in 1864, in the middle of the Civil War: It’s best not to “swap horses while crossing the river.”

But you won’t hear warnings about changing horses from the Democrats this year. Obama was the kind of candidate who inspired voter loyalty, but he is not the kind of president who does.

Which is why professionals on both sides of the 2012 election are so uneasy. The Republicans aren’t comfortable with their nominee and the Democrats worry that the voters aren’t comfortable with theirs.

There hasn’t been a reelection battle like this since 1932, when — and this is largely forgotten now — the Republicans knew Herbert Hoover was vulnerable and the Democrats worried that FDR was neither ready for, nor up to, the job.

Incumbents like Hoover

often portray their challengers as being too inexperienced for the White House, but that is an argument peculiarly unsuited this year to the Democrats, whose candidate ascended to the White House after only four years in the Senate.

One modern president, Ronald Reagan, managed to remain an outsider even when he was inside the White House. All the rest, including Jimmy Carter and George W. Bush, both of whose personal impulses veered against insider Washington, found themselves running for president as insiders. In Carter’s case, it didn’t work.

In Bush’s, it did.

Insiders or outsiders?

For Obama, the situation is more complex. As a black president, he is by definition an outsider. In his memoir, he spoke eloquently of knowing “how to live as an outsider.”

But this year, Obama has relentlessly portrayed himself as a presidential insider, with insider knowledge and insider perspective if not with an insider personality. David Maraniss, in his forthcoming biography of the president, speaks of the contrast between the young Barack Obama and an early girlfriend, a child of wealth whose family owned a country estate in Connecticut.

“The ironic thing,” the woman said, “is he moved through the corridors of power in a far more comfortable way than I ever would have.”

Romney, the son of a governor, corporate executive and Cabinet member, is a natural insider, even a born insider — but in this election he will be the outsider.

That’s not the only unusual thing about his profile as he looks toward November.

Romney is a nominee all but certain to lose his own state, a feat accomplished only twice by candidates who eventually won the

What to do for fun on a spring evening in 1972?

On a recent weekYEARS end in Lawrence, AGO you could have IN 1972 chosen one of these entertainment options. The Granada Theater on Mass. Street was showing “The Carey Treatment,” while across the street at the Varsity, you could see “Puppet On a Chain.” Or you could drive over to the Hillcrest and see “The Godfather,” “The French Connection,” or “Cabaret.” Not in the mood for a movie? The Knights of Columbus Hall was hosting a dance with music by Johnny Nace, or you could drop in at the American Legion’s “Beautiful New Steak Room” and drop $1.50 admission for a dance with music by the John Malone Orchestra.

Accurate and fair news reporting.

No mixing of editorial opinion with reporting of the news.

Safeguarding the rights of all citizens regardless of race, creed or economic stature.

Sympathy and understanding for all who are disadvantaged or oppressed.

Exposure of any dishonesty in public affairs.

Support of projects that make our community a better place to live.

Florida factors Now, consider three very important indicators: Florida’s job growth in the past year, at 1.24 percent, is precisely at the national average. Florida’s unemployment rate, at 9 percent, is higher than the national average of 8.1 percent. And the latest Quinnipiac University poll shows the two presidential contenders at a virtual dead heat in the state, with Romney holding a statistically insignificant lead of 44 percent to 43 percent over Obama.

That reinforces the notion that this will be a terrifically tight election, the sort that could hinge on a gaffe or an unpredictable remark. Political professionals, who by nature like to control events rather than be vulnerable to them, hate this sort of situation. It renders doctrines dormant, and it turns politics inside out.

election (Woodrow Wilson in 1916, James Polk in 1844).

So popular is Obama here in Massachusetts that Democratic Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren’s television commercials prominently feature the president, something you will not see everywhere, or maybe even anywhere else.

There are scores of scenarios for the fall election, but one that seems stubbornly persistent focuses on a state that Franklin Roosevelt won by a stunning three-to-one margin in 1932 and that held the balance of power in the contentious election of 2000: Florida.

Past performance, as Wall Street financiers often say, is no indicator of future returns, but if the Democrats carry the states that have become reliably Democratic in recent elections, they would need only Florida to win the 270 electoral votes required to keep the White House.

Not so friendly To the editor: “Bicycle friendly” (Journal-World, May 15)? Hardly. I ride my bike nearly every day, and it has been only through sheer luck and humility that I have yet to be transformed into roadkill on Lawrence streets. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve almost been run over by some angry, impatient or distracted (texting! cellphones!) auto driver.

I’m aware that some cyclists don’t always set the standard for safe driving, but in the contest between auto and bike, the auto wins every time. I applaud our city leaders for working to gain the “bicycle-friendly” accreditation for Lawrence but suggest that they spend more time actually riding their bikes throughout town to understand just how unfriendly and dangerous our roads have become.

Ray Finch, Lawrence

Wrong message To the editor: Bullying is defined as “a person who deliberately intimidates or is cruel to weaker people … an uncultured, aggressive, rude, noisy troublemaker.” In the case of Mitt Romney, a gang of bigger kids at a prep school assault

a smaller, weaker student, surrounding him, taunting him, roughing him up then slamming him to the ground, holding him down while Mitt whacked off his hair to the jeers of the cowardly crowd.

Lawrence High School, in a similar act of “haircut” bullying, gave their bullies a few of days suspension! In its May 14 editorial, “Overreacting’” the Journal-World redefined bullying as “Harmless acts, easily repaired,” concluding we should “let the kids have a little fun.” I surmise in Lawrence, this type of bullying behavior is condoned. This, in itself, sends a cowardly message to the bullies it has been teaching, condoning their acts as almost inconsequential. Is bullying really just “good fun,” a matter of “youthful indiscretion” and “a harmless prank”? I doubt it was to any kid who ever has been a victim of bullies! Had this happened to a little girl, what would we call it then?

If Lawrence High wanted to send a message, it should hold a mandatory assembly, call the “bullies” up on the stage and publicly expel them from school in front of the student body, march them out onto the street and ban them from ever returning as consequences for unacceptable behavior. Is turnabout fair play? In this case, I would think yes.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for May 21, 1912: YEARS “This is a disAGO agreeable anniIN 1912 versary in Lawrence. On May 21, 1856, Sheriff Jones raided this town, burned the Eldridge Hotel, Gov. Robinson’s residence, the Herald of Freedom office and did some other damage. The Eldridge house bears a tablet telling of its first destruction and the tablet gives the dates. Lawrence people recall this disaster with shudders yet.”

KANSAS CITY CATCHER BRAYAN PENA TAGS out Arizona’s Aaron Hill, top, while trying to score on a fielder’s choice during the fifth inning. Regardless, the Diamondbacks won, 2-0, Sunday in Kansas City, Mo.

Adcock, Royals lose again ——

Kansas City blanked, 2-0,

by D’backs KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — Nate Adcock had a whacky, crazy, whirlwind homestand for the Royals, although the 24-year-old right-hander was not in Kansas City that much.

He still managed to absorb two losses in five days.

Adcock was an emergency starter Sunday and took the loss, giving up a run in five innings as Arizona Diamondbacks rookie left-hander Wade Miley and two relievers combined to shut out the Royals, 2-0.

The homestand began Wednesday with Adcock taking the loss in 15 innings to the Baltimore Orioles. Adcock gave up three hits and a run on an Adams Jones’ home run. The next day the Royals optioned Adcock to Triple-A Omaha as they needed fresh arms and a long reliever.

On Saturday, the Royals placed Everett Teaford, who was recalled Thursday and scheduled to start Sunday, on the disabled list with a lower abdominal strain. The Royals recalled Adcock to start in Teaford’s spot.

So did Adcock remember what town he was in?

“I’m in Kansas City, and that’s a good thing,” Adcock said. “I’m glad to be here and hopefully help these guys win. I can’t remember what’s all going on. The goal is to be in the big leagues and anytime you get the opportunity to perform it’s a blessing to me and hopefully I get to stay here.”

Adcock allowed two runs and eight hits in 10 innings Please see ROYALS, page 3B

KANSAS UNIVERSITY DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR DAVE CAMPO CLAPS HIS HANDS as the Jayhawks take the field for a 6 a.m. practice on April 19 at Memorial Stadium. Campo’s résumé gave him instant credibility at KU, especially among the Jayhawks from Texas.

Campo widely respected, especially by Texans

By Jesse Newell jnewell@ljworld.com

Kansas senior cornerback Greg Brown paid special attention to defensive back Terence Newman growing up as a Dallas Cowboys fan in Cedar Hill, Texas.

There was good reason for that.

“My dad used to always tell me that I remind him of Terence Newman when I played,” Brown said with a smile, “so he told me to look at him.”

In high school, Brown would observe Newman closely on TV, trying to copy his movements to improve his own game.

The crazy thing, Brown says, is that the coach who helped Newman with his technique — Dave Campo — is now the one working with him at Kansas.

“I already knew who Dave Campo was when they announced it,” Brown said. “It had me excited to know that I was going to have a coach like that come in and coach me.”

Before arriving in Lawrence this year, KU’s new defensive coordinator Campo had spent 18 of the last 23 years with the Dallas Cowboys.

He’d also had high-profile positions there, as defensive coordinator from 1995-99 and head coach from 2000-02.

With those positions comes a lot of media exposure, and that means Campo came to KU with a lot of credibility —

“But if you do step out of line, he’s going to get you right back on track.”

That happened with McDougald in the spring, when Campo called him out in front of his peers.

“He pulled me to the side (later), and he let me know it wasn’t a personal thing,” McDougald said. “It was something that the younger guys needed to see. If I’m an older guy and I’m going to be a leader, then I need to be accountable all the time.”

Patmon also was singled out by Campo a few times earlier this spring.

“It’s great, because like I said, it’s Dave Campo. You’re going to listen to every word he says,” Patmon said. “When you mess up in a practice or a rep, and he comes and talks to you, you listen, because it’s not really a butt-chewing, but more of a ‘learn a lesson.’”

Brown said Campo’s correcting players in front of their peers seemed to be working.

Langford on fire overseas

FORMER KANSAS UNIVERSITY BASKETBALL PLAYER KEITH LANGFORD, SECOND FROM LEFT, accepts the hardware as MVP of the Adriatic League’s Final Four tournament.

Former Kansas University basketball guard Keith Langford continues to dominate overseas.

The 6-foot-4 Fort Worth, Texas, native recently was named MVP of the Adriatic League’s Final Four tournament.

Langford, who plays for Maccabi Electra Tel Aviv, scored 21 points, grabbed four rebounds and had three steals in an 87-77 championship-game victory over

Cedevita. He scored 17 points in the semifinals.

Maccabi this week will begin play in the Israeli Final Four.

He will return to the United States on May 28 and figures to spend at least some time in Lawrence in June to work out with his brother, KU junior-to-be Justin Wesley.

It’s being speculated that the 28-year-old Langford will not return to Maccabi next season.

Italian website Sportando. net reports that Langford is

No. 1 target of Emporio Armani Milano of Italy. Also, Fenerbahce Ulker Istanbul has made an offer.

“We presented Keith with our best offer, but we’re aware he has others we can’t match,” a Maccabi team official told Sportando. Maccabi reportedly has offered Langford $800,000 for next season and a $100,000 buyout if he leaves the team after one season.

Dufner clutch in second PGA win IRVING, TEXAS (AP) — A month ago, Jason Dufner was a single man still in search of his first PGA Tour victory.

Life has certainly changed for the 35-year-old golfer who last summer at the PGA Championship blew a four-stroke lead with four holes to play and lost in a playoff.

With a 25-foot birdie putt on the final hole of the Byron Nelson Championship on Sunday, Dufner closed out a one-stroke victory over Dicky Pride to win for the second time in four weeks. “You probably couldn’t dream it any better than what’s been going on here,� Dufner said. “The wedding has been in the works for close to a year, so we know that’s been coming around the corner. And there’s been a lot of good golf since then, but to win two events and get married in the span of 22 days, pretty remarkable.�

Dufner got his first victory April 29 at New Orleans, then got married the following week.

Now he has already won again, this time making $1.17

His closing birdie wrapped up a 3-under 67 round for an 11-under 269 to avoid a playoff with Pride.

Pride, whose only PGA Tour victory in a 20-year professional career came in 1994, was at 10 under with a par-saving 22-foot putt at No. 18 for a round of 67 after hitting his drive into the water.

Moments later, Dufner made a putt that was only a few feet longer but on virtually the same line. “Apparently that was not a very difficult putt on 18, from the long right,� Pride said chuckling.

J.J. Henry, who had an early hole-in-one, was in the lead at 11 under after consecutive birdies at Nos. 15 and 16, overcoming a bad tee shot on the first and a greenside bunker on the second.

Pride made a 13-foot birdie at No. 17 right before Henry, in the final group with Dufner, hit a 7-iron over the par-3 green. The former TCU star lost the lead with a double bogey after a 4-foot putt slid just outside the cup.

After watching Henry’s meltdown, Dufner made a tap-in par at No. 17 and then hit a big drive on No. 18 in the middle of the fairway. He hit a sand wedge to the

middle of the green, then avoided a playoff with the long putt to join Hunter Mahan as the only twotime winners this season.

While Dufner’s win at New Orleans came in a two-hole playoff against Ernie Els, he lost twice in playoffs last season, including to Keegan Bradley in the PGA Championship.

Joe Durant, who was the final alternate added to the Nelson field, shot a 65 to finish in a tie for third at 271 with Henry (68), Marc Leishman (66) and rookie Jonas Blixt (66).

Phil Mickelson, making his first Nelson start in five years, had four consecutive birdies on the front nine and went on to a round of 66 to finish four strokes back. He tied for seventh with Ken Duke, who also had a string of four birdies in a row in his own 66.

Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland stormed back from a slumping 74 on Saturday to card a 66 on Sunday — his best round of the tourney.

Woodland moved up 29 spots and finished tied for 24th place.

Heat win showed two sides of sports

By Dave Hyde Sun Sentinel (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.)

INDIANAPOLIS — LeBron James looked one way in a lackluster first half and threaded the basketball another. Dwyane Wade moved to the open spot and collected the pass in stride for a dunk.

Suddenly, stunningly, this was it again.

This was what they imagined.

This was the team again. This was the show. On a desperate Sunday, Wade and James picked up the basketball world from that point and spun it on their fingers, taking turns, trading shots, scoring 38 consecutive Heat points and pushing back Indiana, 101-93, to even this playoff series at two wins each. “That’s the reason why I came to Miami, for performances like that, the kind that you’ll be able to tell your kids about one day,� Heat forward Shane Battier said.

Everything you come to sports for was on display across this afternoon, wasn’t it?

You don’t just come to see the greatness of LeBron, which was there from the start Sunday and never wavered. He ended with a line of 40 points, 18 rebounds, nine assists, two blocked shots and 44 minutes played.

You also watch sports to see people react to having their world go south. Wade had a miserable few days after his previous two games. He then began Sunday making just one of his first eight shots. “He struggled early, and I was trying to get him an easy one, “ LeBron said. “All I needed was one shot,�

Wade said.

And so came that pass for a dunk late in the second quarter.

From that point the Heat were the Heat again.

They scored 75 points in the previous two games against Indiana, both losses. Now with Wade flying again they had 76 points by the end of the third quarter.

Finally, the team that should beat Indiana even without Chris Bosh was back on the court.

LeBron always was there and never more so than Sunday.

It was what this season needed. If the Heat had lost this game, they weren’t going to win the series and a lot of ugly questions would resonate into this summer about jobs and futures.

Now the only thing that echoing was Wade’s shouts off the court. “I did it before!� he said arms up. “I’ll do it again!�

Tuesday for Game 5 would be nice.

Sharapova wins Italian Open; men’s bout postponed ROME — Maria Sharapova successfully defended her Italian Open title Sunday, beating Li Na 4-6, 6-4, 7-6 (5) in a wild match in which play was twice interrupted by rain and the red clay turned to mud. “The match was a joke,� Li said. “It’s tough to play in such heavy rain, and then you go and rest for two hours and then play again in heavy rain. ... But I still have positive things to take away.

She was just stronger and tougher.�

The rain proved even more formidable for a men’s final that never happened. Defending champion Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal will have to wait until today to settle their championship.

Li appeared on course for victory when she surged to a 6-4, 4-0 lead, but 24 unforced errors from the French Open champion allowed Sharapova to take the next six games and the set.

Sharapova then seemed certain to win when it began to drizzle. The second-seeded Russian took a 4-1 lead in the third, but Li fought back to win four straight games to lead 5-4. Both held serve the rest of the way, forcing a tiebreaker.

After waiting out the rain for two hours in the locker room, the third set was over in five minutes. Sharapova completed the victory in 2 hours, 52 minutes.

Ex-KSU, NBA star Boozer dies OMAHA, NEB. — Bob Boozer, a member of the dominating 1960 Olympic basketball team who went on to star in the NBA, has died of a brain aneurysm. He was 75.

Ella Boozer said Sunday that her husband died Saturday afternoon an Omaha hospital. He had become ill Friday night while having dinner with friends, she said.

Boozer was a two-time AllAmerican at Kansas State in 1958-59 and played 11 years in the NBA after the Cincinnati Royals drafted him No. 1 overall.

The 6-foot-8 forward retired Boozer after winning the 1971 NBA championship with the Milwaukee Bucks.

He played with Jerry West, Oscar Robertson and Jerry Lucas on the gold medal winning 1960 Olympic team and went on to average 14.8 points and 8.1 rebounds for six professional teams.

Boozer and his teammates on the 1960 Olympic team were inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2010. The star-studded squad won eight games by an average of 42.4 points, and 10 of them played in the NBA. Born and raised in Omaha, Boozer blossomed into a three-time all-conference pick and a twotime All-American at Kansas State. He averaged 21.9 points for his career, and his 25.2 points a game as a senior is second in school history to Michael Beasley’s 26.2 points in 2007-08.

Boozer led the Wildcats to the NCAA Final Four as a junior, and as a senior he helped K-State to a No. 1 ranking in the final regular-season poll.

Boozer delayed entering the NBA for a year so he could retain his amateur status for the Olympics. He averaged 6.8 points for the American team that beat Brazil 90-63 for the gold medal in Rome.

Ella Boozer said her husband took delight in good-natured arguments about whether the 1960 Olympic team was better than the 1992 “Dream Team,� which included Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird and Charles Barkley.

The Chicago Bulls selected Boozer in the 1966 expansion draft, and he averaged 20.4 points and 8.7 rebounds in three seasons with the team. He made his only All-Star appearance in 1968 while with the Bulls. He played with Robertson and Lew Alcindor while winning the ‘71 title with the Bucks.

Ruth jersey sets sales record NEW YORK — A baseball jersey worn by Babe Ruth has sold for more than $4.4 million, a record for any item of sports memorabilia, according to the buyer and seller.

SCP Auctions says the circa 1920 New York Yankees uniform top is the earliest known jersey worn by The Bambino and it fetched $4,415,658 at the company’s April auction, which ended Sunday. SCP Auctions says that price broke the previous record of $4,338,500 set in 2010 for James Naismith’s founding rules of basketball.

Lelands.com says it submitted the winning bid for Ruth’s jersey, which had been displayed for years at The Babe Ruth Birthplace Museum in Baltimore.

Suzan French, a spokeswoman for Lelands. com, says the company plans to sell the jersey privately rather than re-auction it.

Flanagan takes BMW Pro-Am GREER, S.C. — Nick Flanagan won the Nationwide Tour’s BMW Charity Pro-Am for the second time in six years, beating fellow Australian Cameron Percy on Sunday with a par on the third hole of a playoff.

Flanagan, a three-time winner on the tour in 2007, closed with a 4-under 67 on the Thornblade Club course to match Percy at 15-under 271. Percy finished with a 66.

Flanagan birdied the final hole in regulation, while Percy closed with a bogey.

They played the par-4 18th three more times in the playoff, with Percy handing the title to Flanagan with a double bogey on the third extra hole. Flanagan won with a tap-in par.

Munoz wins LPGA’s Sybase GLADSTONE, N.J. — Azahara Munoz beat Candie Kung 2 and 1 on Sunday to win the Sybase Match Play Championship, a title that was set up when Morgan Pressel was penalized for slow play while in control of their semifinal match.

It was the first LPGA Tour win for Munoz, but this one is going to be shrouded in controversy.

It also will put more focus on pace of play in golf.

Pressel appeared to take a 3-up lead with a par at the 12th hole at the Hamilton Farm Golf Club. But before she could tee off on No. 13, tour official Doug Brecht informed her that she had violated the tour’s pace of play rule and lost the hole, dropping her lead to 1-up and changing momentum. Munoz, a former Arizona State star from Spain, then rallied to beat Pressel 2 and 1.

Colsaerts tops World Match Play CASARES, SPAIN — Belgian Nicolas Colsaerts handled fierce winds to top Graeme McDowell and capture the World Match Play Championship on Sunday, boosting his chances of making Europe’s Ryder Cup team.

Colsaerts won the final 1 up in southern Spain for his second European Tour title and earn a winner’s check of $900,000.

Beckman used a quicker reaction time to edge Capps in the final round, finishing in 4.158 seconds at 303.09 mph in a Dodge Charger. Capps had a run of 4.107 at 304.39.

All eyes on I’ll Have Another ————

Derby, Preakness winner ready for triple try BALTIMORE (AP) — I’ll Have Another poked his head out of his stall, started nibbling on his nameplate tacked to a wall and looked up at all the people watching his every move.

Yes, I’ll Have Another came out of his thrilling Preakness win over Bodemeister in “super shape,” trainer Doug O’Neill said Sunday, and now comes New York for a Triple Crown try in the Belmont Stakes on June 9.

“Bring it on! We’re ready to go. Super pumped!” O’Neill said as he held court outside the stall of his Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner.

“I can’t put into words how incredible it is. We’re just on Cloud 9. It’s super exciting.”

The colorful and controversial trainer was returning to his home base in California, and making plans for the trip to New York in the next week or so. I’ll Have Another, meanwhile, was loaded onto a horse van at Pimlico and arrived at Belmont Park on a sunny Sunday afternoon.

O’Neill’s assistant, Jack Sisterson, will oversee the chestnut colt until O’Neill and the rest of his team arrive.

The trainer took time to soak in the moment before leaving Baltimore, though, and to contemplate the pressure-packed days that await leading to the first Triple Crown attempt since 2008. It will be the 12th Triple try since 1978,

KENTUCKY DERBY AND PREAKNESS WINNER I’LL HAVE ANOTHER is led around his stable just after arriving Sunday at Belmont Park in New York. when Affirmed won thoroughbred racing’s most elusive prize.

“It’s hasn’t completely sunk in yet,” he said. “The party out here at the barn after the race was like wow! I’ve never seen anything like that — everyone so excited about horse racing and I’ll Have Another being 2-for-2. I definitely feel the energy and buzz in the air.”

He hasn’t seen anything yet.

The Triple Crown quest brought some tantalizingly close calls since Affirmed turned back Alydar in the Derby, Preakness and Belmont 34 years ago — the

longest drought between Triple Crown champions.

There was Real Quiet in 1998, who looked like a lock to take the Belmont until he was nailed at the wire by Victory Gallop.

And there was Smarty Jones, who also seemed golden in the Belmont stretch only to be reeled in by 36-1 shot Birdstone in the final 70 yards.

So can I’ll Have Another win it? Steve Cauthen, who was a fresh-faced, 18-year-old jockey who rode Affirmed into history, believes the colt can deliver. Not only does he see similarities with Affirmed, but “The Kid” can

For his part, Brown is trying to squeeze the most out of his one year with Campo.

He often asks the coach questions about cornerback play, trying to learn as much as he can from the man who helped mold his favorite player.

Brown said he knows, no matter what Campo says, it’s in his best interest to listen closely.

“He packs a punch just off his credentials, off of who he is,” Brown said.

“You know (he knows) what he’s talking about.

When he says something, you know it’s fact.”

on this homestand, but was 0-2. He gave up one run on five hits against the Diamondbacks.

“I’m pleased with the way I pitched, but the outcome I’m not pleased with,” Adcock said. “Losing is not fun. I wish we could have got a win out of this, but we didn’t.”

Miley outpitched Adcock, limiting the Royals to five hits while throwing 99 pitches. He walked two and struck out three, sending Kansas City to its 17th loss in 22 home games this season.

“Nate pitched his butt off today,” said Jeff Francoeur, who had four of the seven Kansas City hits.

“He’s been up and down, on planes, pitching in 15-inning games and doing what he did today. As a group today offensively we didn’t get it done.”

David Hernandez and J.J. Putz each pitched an inning to finish off the shutout. Putz earned his ninth save in 11 opportunities with a spotless ninth.

Francoeur’s four hits matched his career high.

It was Francoeur’s 10th four-hit game and first since Aug. 23, 2011, at Toronto.

Paul Goldschmidt led off the Diamondbacks fifth with a double, stopped at third on Aaron Hill’s single and scored on McDonald’s bunt single that first baseman Eric Hosmer failed to field cleanly.

The Royals got four runners to third base —

relate to what “new-kidon-the-block” rider Mario Gutierrez is experiencing.

“I guess I’m having a flashback,” Cauthen said Sunday from his breeding farm in Verona, Ky. “He’s a new kid on the block like I was. The kid’s got a great attitude and a great smile.

And, like me, he’s been put in a position to ride in these kinds of races and a shot at maybe winning the Triple Crown. And the trainer and owner have confidence in him, and that’s important, because Laz (Barrera, Affirmed’s trainer) and Mr. Wolfson (owner Louis Wolfson) were 100 percent behind me.”

ARIZONA OUTFIELDERS, FROM LEFT, JASON KUBEL, Gerardo Parra and Justin Upton celebrate their 2-0 victory over the Royals on Sunday in Kansas City, Mo. Francoeur in the second and fifth, and Billy Butler in the fourth and eighth — but failed to get them home. They went 0-for-5 with runners at third and 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position.

Francoeur tripled off the right-field wall with two outs in the sixth for Kansas City’s only extrabase hit. Alex Gordon grounded out to end the inning.

The Royals’ best chance to score came in the fourth. Butler led off with a walk and advanced to second on Francoeur’s single before Gordon moved up both runners with a groundout. Miley, however, pitched out of

danger by retiring Hosmer on an infield popup and Brayan Pena on a grounder.

The Diamondbacks manufactured a run without a hit in the eighth. Gerardo Parra led off with a walk and Ryan Roberts sacrificed. Greg Holland’s wild pitch allowed Parra to reach third and Justin Upton hit a sacrifice fly to right.

The Royals were shut out for the fourth time.

They are 2-8 when the opponent starts a left-hander.

Adcock said he hoped he showed enough to earn another start.

“It’s not my decision,” Adcock said.

MIAMI FORWARD LEBRON JAMES (6) DUNKS in front of Indiana’s George Hill (3) and Roy Hibbert during the second half of Game 4 of their NBA Eastern Conference semifinal playoff series on Sunday in Indianapolis. The Heat won, 101-93.

James, Wade turn up the Heat, win Game 4 INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The coveted NBA championship, the one LeBron James needs to validate everything, was vanishing.

With 18,000 towel-waving fans roaring like the engines at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the Indiana Pacers had knocked the Miami Heat to the floor and to the edge of elimination.

James didn’t panic.

He simply picked up his teammates and carried them to a win.

And this time, Dwyane Wade helped.

James scored 40 points with 18 rebounds and nine assists, and Wade added 30 points — 22 in the second half — as Miami rallied to even its semifinal series against Indiana with a 10193 win on Sunday over the Pacers, who had the defending Eastern Conference champions down but couldn’t keep them there.

“I felt like I had to do whatever it took to win,” said James, who played all but four minutes.

With All-Star forward Chris Bosh injured and back in Florida, the JamesWade tag team saved the Heat, who will host Game 5 on Tuesday night at AmericanAirlines Arena.

“Me and ’Bron had it going,” said Wade, who bounced back from the worst playoff game of his career — five points on 2-of-13 shooting — with one of his best, “We played off of each other very well. We both were aggressive at the same time. That’s beautiful basketball for the Miami Heat when we play that way.”

The Heat now head home back in control of the best-of-seven series, which is down to a bestof-three with two of the games on Miami’s home floor.

“It’s still going to be a dogfight,” James said.

Udonis Haslem, playing with a large bandage covering a nasty cut over his right eye that required nine stitches, added 14 points for Miami.

For a while, the Heat’s season was slipping away.

The underrated Pacers had built a 10-point lead in the third quarter and were threatening to run away as they did in Game 3, when James and Wade took over. They scored 38 consecutive points in one stretch bridging the second and third quarters and combined to score 28 of Miami’s 30 in the third when the Heat seemed to be playing with two to Indiana’s five.

“LeBron had that look,” Heat forward Shane Battier said. “And when he has that look and Dwyane has

that look, you want to run through a wall.”

Wade finished with nine rebounds and six assists, erasing the ugly memory of Game 3 when he also had a confrontation with Heat coach Erik Spoelstra, a public dispute that turned into a bigger deal than it probably was because of a two-day break between games. The next day, Wade, who has refused to blame injuries for his recent struggles, visited his former Marquette coach Tom Crean, who is now at Indiana.

Wade said Crean had film for him to watch.

“I was able to be a student of the game,” Wade said. “Just figuring out what I needed to do differently to help our team get this win. I just wanted to come out today and affect the game somehow. Obviously, I knew I was struggling a little bit on my offensive game. I wasn’t going to let that affect my overall game.”

James dismissed the idea the Heat were desperate team.

“That’s a strong word,” he said. “It’s a team with a lot of veterans and a lot of fighters.”

Danny Granger scored 20 and Paul George 13 to lead the Pacers. Center

Roy Hibbert, so dominant at both ends in Game 3, had just 10 points and was in foul trouble in the second half.

Indiana coach Frank Vogel second-guessed his decision to keep Hibbert and David West on the bench for a long stretch after halftime. But it was the Pacers’ inability to stop Wade and James that was the difference.

“You get the ball out of one of those guy’s hands and it gets to the other guy’s,” he said. “It’s not like one superhero and a bunch of role guys.”

Granger’s three had given Indiana a 61-51, and the Pacers, outhustling the Heat to loose balls, appeared poised to take a commanding series lead.

But that’s when James and Wade put on a jawdropping spectacle, combining for all but two points in a 25-5 run that put Miami up 76-66.

During one sequence, Wade lost his balance and fell and was lucky to push the ball toward James near the top of the key.

As Wade scrambled to his feet, James alertly passed him the ball and he calmly knocked down a threepointer to give the Heat a 64-63 lead. The pair made easy shots, tough ones and did everything in their power to steer Miami away from a 3-1 hole.

Only eight teams in league history have overcome a 3-1 deficit to win a best-of-seven series.

That’s what the Heat were staring at with a loss in Game 4.

The Heat took a 7670 lead into the fourth, and every time Indiana got close, either Wade or James responded.

Miami also got a huge lift down the stretch from Haslem, who hasn’t been a factor in the series but made four big jumpers in the final six minutes.

Granger’s three-pointer got the Pacers within 96-91 with 1:33 left, but Haslem hit another short shot and James closed the Pacers out with three free throws in the last 16 seconds.

Dear Annie: My husband’s sister “Kelsey” filed for divorce a few months ago. Her soonto-be ex-husband kept in touch. He told me that Kelsey had been cheating on him with the guy she is currently seeing.

I didn’t want to believe him, but in the past few weeks, I’ve discovered that Kelsey has been lying to her parents, her brother and me about nearly everything.

Her new guy has a DUI and lost his license.

He has a child from another relationship, doesn’t work and rents a room from his brother.

Kelsey has been paying for his plane tickets so he can visit her.

Kelsey told me she was filing for divorce because she couldn’t deal with her husband’s child from his first marriage. Now she is jumping into another relationship with the same set-up. She is convinced that “it’s different.” Her

parents are unaware that Kelsey is planning to move two states away to be with him after she graduates.

I have spoken my piece. I told Kelsey what she did was wrong. If she were a friend, I would stop speaking to her. But this is my sisterin-law, and I don’t want to cut her off. However, neither my husband nor I want Kelsey and her new boyfriend coming to our house.

Should I tell Kelsey’s parents that she is planning to move away with

‘House’ folds its tent Unlike Tom Sawyer, few of us get to witness our own funerals.

But if a television show runs long enough, its cast, producers and crew even get to plan and “star” in the grim last rites. ‘‘House” (7 p.m., Fox) will look back at its eight seasons with an hourlong retrospective, including clips from scenes past and interviews with the show’s cast and creators. The series finale (8 p.m.) will guest-star James LeGros (“Mildred Pierce”) as an addict seeking treatment whose struggles force Dr. Gregory House to examine his own bad choices. ‘‘House” ranks with a handful of scripted network dramas from the past decade that attracted a large, faithful audience and featured smart writing and strong performances, ranking with anything on premium cable or imported from across the Atlantic.

Critics and fans have quibbled that “House” ran off the rails some two seasons back when House (Hugh Laurie) and Dr. Lisa Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein) became lovers. But, hey, this is a funeral. It’s not nice to speak ill of the deceased.

The addition of Howard Stern to the judging panel of “America’s Got Talent” (7 p.m., NBC) was fraught with questions: Would the shock jock with a reputation for saying rude things detract from the family-friendly show? Or would the show, which also features judges Sharon Osbourne and Howie Mandel and host Nick Cannon, domesticate the radio bad-boy? So far, it looks like the latter has occurred.

With its roots in the broad comedy of vaudeville, “Talent” has no room for one signature star or persistent distraction.

As with vaudeville, the key to “Talent” is the conveyor belt of spectacle. If you don’t like what you’re seeing or hearing, there’s always something else coming down the chute.

Stern seems a bit blander for the experience. The greatest risk to a cult figure like him is to turn into just any other celebrity. On “Talent,” a show that used to

Tonight’s other highlights

Emily sizes up the bachelors as potential dads on “The Bachelorette” (8 p.m., ABC).

“In Performance at the White House” (8 p.m., PBS) honors Burt Bacharach and Hal David.

Supermodel Heidi Klum and Kevin Frazier (“The Insider”) cohost “Clash of the Commercials: U.S.A. vs. the World” (9 p.m., CBS), a roundup of the best television advertising spots.

“I Cloned My Pet 2” (9 p.m., TLC) hopes to replicate the success of the first season.

BIRTHDAYS

Rhythm-and-blues singer Ron Isley (The Isley Brothers) is 71.

Actor Richard Hatch (“Battlestar Galactica”) is 67. Singer Leo Sayer is 64. Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn., is 61. Actor Mr. T is 60. Actor Judge Reinhold is 55. Actor-director Nick Cassavetes is 53. Actress Fairuza Balk is 38. Actress Sarah Ramos is 21.

this guy? Are we being too harsh by not inviting her into our home? This is my husband’s only sister, and I want to do the right thing. — Unsure of What To Do Dear Unsure: Kelsey sounds immature and reckless, the type who will make a lot of mistakes before she learns anything. Unless Kelsey has sworn you to secrecy, we see no reason not to inform your in-laws of her plans. Welcoming her into your home is up to you. If you have young children, you might want to keep her at a distance.

But the more you disapprove of the boyfriend the more she will defend him. It often can be more effective to overwhelm him with kindness. And you never know. He could turn out to be the right guy for her.

Dear Annie: What are your thoughts about the practice of notifying friends by email of

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Monday, May 21: Sometimes you act as if someone has lit a fire under you, as you display a compulsive, driven quality this year. You will be unusually creative but also me-oriented. If you are attached, remember it takes two to have a relationship. Try to tame your ego. If you are single, you might attract quite a few suitors.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll ave: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) Don’t lock onto an event, communication or situation happening as you would like. Worry less about details; otherwise you could become one upset Ram. Tonight: Meet up with a friend.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You tend to get possessive at times. Are you doing that again? If a child or loved one is balking when interacting with you, that controlling tendency could be at work.

Tonight: Buy a loved one a token of affection.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Your smile tends to disarm others. As a result, they might reveal a startling piece of information. Try to keep a straight face.

Tonight: Aren’t you spunky?

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You like to be busy and moving around. You could be quite content watching another person try to handle an authority figure, parent or boss. Tonight: You have a lot to mull over.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Listen to a friend. This person pushes to have you agree or go along with him or her. Why not?

Tonight: Where people are.

the death of a loved one?

This person also included instructions on how to offer condolences and provided recommendations for places to contribute in memory of the departed.

— Pennsylvania Dear Pennsylvania: Like it or not, email has become one way people now notify others of everything. And while it may be less appropriate than a phone call or handwritten note, it’s certainly more private than posting it on Facebook. Family members and close friends should still be told of a death with a personal call.

Others can be informed in whichever way gets the news out in the most timely manner.

Suggestions for charitable donations and conveying condolences would be included in a newspaper death notice and are therefore acceptable in such an email.

Great-grandmother’s catastrophe cake

E

ven the best chefs have their off days, so an amateur like me shouldn’t be too shocked to have a baking session worthy of the Marquis de Sade now and then.

Because of such a session, I’m no longer on speaking terms with prunes. It’s my great-grandma’s fault, really. It all started when I got the idea to honor Mother’s Day and Memorial Day by re-creating an old family recipe.

In a tiny little book published in 1914, I found a recipe for prune cake, handwritten by my great-grandma Mary Chenoweth.

BITE Sighs

AUDREY LINTNER It sounded pretty tasty and would be simple to adapt to a modern kitchen. In a frenzy of enthusiasm, I gathered the necessities.

Silly me, thinking to prevail over pastry.

The ingredients resisted every effort to be made into cake. The stewed prunes leaked juice on the stove. I reached for the sugar and grabbed the sour milk by mistake, slopping it onto the floor. The sugar itself turned into flour, while the baking soda took on the guise of an empty box. As a kicker, the top half of the cake refused to come out of the pan!

Vulgarities were spoken, but the unat-

AUDREY LINTER’S PRUNE CAKE from her grandmother’s recipe can be made as a Bundt cake or cupcakes. tractive results were delicious enough to encourage another try. This time, I took a chance on a cupcake version. I think they’ll be worth it to you, too.

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees, then grease and flour the bejeebers out of a Bundt pan. Trust me. Lots of grease and flour, or you’ll have lots of grief and swearing. If you prefer, use a cupcake pan and papers.

Add a tablespoon of vinegar to one cup of milk and set it aside to “sour.” If you have buttermilk on hand, use a cup of that instead. Chop one cup of prunes and simmer the pieces for 10 minutes in just enough water to cover them. Drain them well.

Cream together 1/2 cup of shortening and 1.5 cups of sugar. It’ll look like a bowl of snow. Blend in three eggs and try not to think about Frank Zappa and huskies.

soda, one teaspoon of baking powder, and one teaspoon each of cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice. Add this to the sugar mixture alternately with the milk, blending well after each addition. Blend in the prunes.

Scrape the batter into your prepared pan, or spoon it into the cupcake liners.

Bake the cake for 40-45 minutes; cupcakes will be done in 20 minutes.

Let the cake rest in the pan for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edges and (fingers crossed) invert it onto a plate.

You can dust the results with powdered sugar or serve plain. If you’re feeling extra decadent, try a little sweetened cream cheese as a simple frosting.

For all of the aggravation, the cake still turned out to be a hit, taste-wise. I may befriend prunes again, after a brief timeout.

Enjoy!

Doula wants positive experience for moms

BY CHANSI LONG

O

ne day when Sara Warnock and her husband were visiting their obstetrician, they spotted a brochure for Complete Doula Services.

It was a serendipitous moment, as the Warnocks wished to have their first baby naturally but had determined home birth was not for them. Troubled with how to create a similar experience inside a hospital, they leafed through the pamphlet. “(We) did some research and discovered that the use of a doula during labor and delivery greatly, greatly reduces the incidence of all the medical interventions that we were hoping to avoid — like epidurals and Cesareans,” said Warnock.

“We were sold.”

So the Warnocks hired Lindsay Clements. A doula in Lawrence, Clements attends 3 to 4 births a month, spacing them out in case the due date is off the mark.

“One of the biggest challenges is the unpredictability of it,” said Clements. “The due date is an estimated due date. … I could be called any time, day or night, and it’s normally in the middle of night.”

Clements sleeps with her cellphone near her pillow and always has a bag ready so she can throw clothes on and slink out if the phone rings.

A doula since early 2011, Clements’ interest in the profession bloomed after she gave birth to her first child 9 years ago. She labored in a hospital without a doula present.

But the moment was profoundly joyful.

Afterward, though, she learned some of her friends had not had a positive birth experience. In fact, many were having negative experiences and regrets, feeling pressured into procedures they didn’t understand.

“I think all women should have an empowering birth experience,” said Clements. “It should be something that you look upon with great joy.”

After Clements moved to Lawrence she met Stephanie Olson, now of Complete Doula Services. She discovered she could help mothers have a pleasant pregnancy and labor without going to medical school.

To become a doula, Clements had to attend at least three births of a specific criteria and be evaluated by a doctor and midwife. She also regularly attends workshops and training sessions in Kansas City.

Clements’ connection with her clients starts before delivery day.

Ideally, she meets them during early pregnancy. She likes to attend at least one doc-

“I think all women should have an empowering birth experience. It should be something that you look upon with great joy.”

— Lindsay Clements tor’s appointment to go over the delivery plan. And she teaches six classes designed to make the mother more informed and confident. The classes focus on things like breathing and relaxation, nutrition, postpartum preparation and late pregnancy comfort.

“The (classes) were … a good opportunity to get to know and become more comfortable with Lindsay,” said Warnock.

“We liked her immediately, but spending more time together in the classes made us feel like we would be sharing this really intimate experience with someone we knew rather than someone we hired.”

Clements meets mothers during the early stages of labor, then helps them transition to the hospital if that’s where birth is going to occur.

Most of the births are at the hospital.

Clements creates a home-like setting in the delivery room: dimming the lights, turning on pleasant music, making sure the women she’s assisting are comfortable.

For Warnock’s labor, Clements walked the halls with Warnock and her husband, pointing to and explaining any monitors or machinery. Later she slid into a purely supportive role.

“Once the contractions became so intense that I had to concentrate completely and basically became nonverbal. Lindsay helped my husband find ways to soothe and reassure me,” said Warnock. “And during the most intense contractions — the ones that I felt getting away from me, that I wasn’t sure I would be able to handle — she talked me through. I’m not sure we could have done it without Lindsay; I know we wouldn’t want to.”

For 11 hours of contractions and 2 hours of pushing, Warnock coached and supported Warnock. And then, at 8 pounds, 11 ounces, Elsa Warnock was born.

“I didn’t want to just ‘get through’ labor, I wanted to experience it,” said Warnock.

“Working with a doula allowed me to do that. It is a great gift to have had that support and to have been able to be so present for the birth of my daughter.”

Break out of the vacation rut Families track down alternatives to touristy trips

BY ADRIENNE PARANJOTHI

I

t’s possible your summer vacation plans for this year are already arranged and you are anxiously counting down the days until you depart.

But if you’re still contemplating the perfect destination or how to spend your precious vacation time, then maybe these local residents might be an inspiration for mixing it up.

LOCAL FLAVOR One of the best perks of local professional photographer Ann Dean’s job is being able to mix a little work in with the rest and relaxation.

“When I travel, I slow down. I appreciate slowing down and enjoying the moment. I love to travel and find those obscure spots,” Dean says.

She and her husband, Ryan Dean, have traveled to Cuba and the Yucatan for Ann to blend her job and travel desire.

Ann Dean, who also teaches photography classes at the Lawrence Arts Center, tells her students, “You can find inspiration anywhere. It is all in the how you see the world.”

Dean, who lived in the Yucatan from 1998 to 2000, is familiar with the off-the-beaten-path neighborhoods and the residents who reside there. Her suggestion for adding adventure to your travel destination is to seek out those unusual and unique spots.

“Research your location and what your plans might be so it will be easier to set aside the time to visit those places,” she says.

PLAN AROUND SPORTS If your children have busy activity calendars during the summer due to sports, camps or other activities, then planning a family vacation around one of those activities might be the right solution for your family.

Jodi Dineen, sports fan and devoted mother of four boys ages 8 to 16 — Joe Jr., Jay, Jax and Jet — knows first-hand how to incorporate a child’s summer passion into an enjoyable family vacation.

“I know people who say kids’ activities shouldn’t dictate your life, but with four boys, that is where we have found ourselves,” Dineen says. “This is what we enjoy.

We love watching our kids, and that’s how we choose to spend our family time.”

Last summer the Dineen family traveled to Park City,

RYAN AND ANN DEAN travel for leisure and for Ann’s job as a photographer. “I love to travel and find those obscure spots,” Ann says.

Utah, to root on son Jay in a baseball tournament. The Dineens made certain their time to Utah was not only spent at the ball field but around the city taking in the sights, and they added on days to stay once the tournament was over.

Dineen insists one of the great parts of following a child in a sport or any other activity is being able to visit a city or state one might not normally select as a family vacation. Another plus for traveling with a child’s sport team or other group, Dineen says, is “going with friends and sharing the trip activities.”

Their team and family time will be spent this summer in Colorado.

FAMILY MISSIONS For Julee Goesser, a mother of three, including 9-yearold twin daughters Morgan and Madison, recent vacations have involved still taking care of other children.

In November 2011, Goesser and her daughter Morgan traveled to the Dominican Republic to fulfill responsibilities of a mission trip.

Submitted photos Goesser’s church had a women’s conference, and while there, she picked up a flier for mission trips for families MORGAN GOESSER, LEFT, traveled with her mothand kids age 7 and older. The mission trip was being put er, Julee Goesser, to the Dominican Republic for a mission trip last November. together by Life Tree Adventures.

“I saw the flier and I just knew,” she says.

Spending time in a third-world country was not new to Goesser, as she had been on mission trips in the past. But this would be the first time to take a child with her.

“They (Life Tree Adventure) had this trip catered for families. We stayed in a hotel. I realized you don’t have to suffer on a mission trip to still do work and understand their difficulties,” Goesser says.

“You don’t have to go away to see poverty, but going to a third-world is truly different. Some may believe this is hypocritical of the cushy hotel experience, but you can still experience and learn incredible lessons.”

Even though Goesser and Morgan slept in a hotel, they experienced and helped the residents each day they were there.

Morgan loved holding babies and children and being able to pass out donated decorated backpacks to the children. Goesser plans on heading off again for a motherdaughter mission trip in the near future.

THE DINEENS, ABOVE, went to Park City, Utah, last summer for son Jay’s baseball tournament and added days to the trip for a vacation. From left are Joe Jr., Jet, Jodi, Jax and Jay Dineen.

THE STORM FAMILY, AT RIGHT, traveled to Colorado and stayed in a yurt for their family vacation last summer. From left are Elliot, Amanda, Chris and Lydia Storm.

OFF THE BEATEN PATH Rough, rugged and only a day’s worth of travel plus a few modern conveniences enticed the Storm family to travel to Colo-

rado last summer and spend several days in a yurt.

“My impetus was I wanted to do Yellowstone but realized how long it would take to drive. The majority of our vacation would have been spent driving, and that is not much of a vacation for my husband when he had to drive,” says Amanda Storm.

She describes the yurt as being 10-sided with a dome on top to allow for air, three or four side windows, wood floors, beds, a mini-fridge and a patio. Her daughter Lydia, 9, says there were a few handicapaccessibly yurts available for campers, too.

For the Storm family, their stay at the YMCA Snow Mountain Ranch in the town of Grandby, Colo., was just the right mix of adventure and quality family time.

Strong loved the fact that this trip provided a wide range of activities for free or minimal cost. In addition to the activities, there is also a dining hall for meal service if cooking over a fire isn’t your bag.

Both her children, Lydia and Elliot, 6, were thrilled to be able to choose from activities such as canoeing, archery, hiking, mini-golf, swimming and even an indoor rollerskating.

The Storms are headed back again this year after their rewarding experience.

Importance of ‘the college experience’

Double TAKE

Dear Dr. Wes and Miranda: My parents are pressuring me to go to college locally and live at home. That’s not the college experience I wanted.

I’ve been accepted to colleges here and in other places, and I want to get out of my hometown. Money is not an issue. I have some scholarships, and our family isn’t poor. What can I do to make them understand?

Miranda: Your problem reflects a little issue that many of our local teens face — our parents want us to go to college a few blocks down the road to our very own large Midwestern university. Though I’m headed there myself in the fall, that choice can be a double-edged sword.

I don’t believe in giving parents ultimatums. It’s never worked in my experience, but make sure you clearly express that you aren’t considering a local college. By making your “college experience” expectations clear, you may wake them up to the idea of out-of-state school.

While a lot of parents push their kids to do this in part to save money, that doesn’t seem to be the case here. Instead, parents sometimes have a hard time letting go of their kids and may pressure them into situations to ease their own separation anxiety. They see it as a compromise. You get to go to college, but they still get to be around you and watch you grow up.

If this holds no interest for you, there is always the option of standing your ground and going out-of-state, without your parents blessing. This may dissolve any funding you were going to get from them and may require you to take out student loans.

That’s not recommended, however, unless it’s absolutely necessary.

Be reasonable when you talk to your parents, and try to keep an open mind.

But at the end of the day, this is your decision and you have to live with it, not your parents.

DR. WES CRENSHAW AND MIRANDA DAVIS Dr. Wes: Well, actually your parents have to live with it, too. As we’ve said many times before in this column, when you make a decision for yourself, you make a decision for everyone. That means that your choices and your parents’ affect one another, and you have to work as a team to make everything come out OK. That said, if money is not an issue and there is no compelling reason why you might not be ready to live on your own, then I agree with Miranda. Having practiced next to that flagship U since 2000, I’ve seen hundreds and hundreds of students pass through my office. So I have a healthy respect for the level of commitment it takes to make it through any kind post-secondary education.

In fact, one of the chief critiques of college financing — whether it be through parents, student loans, grants or scholarships — is that it separates the student from the cost of their education. Some kids take that as a license to party down on someone else’s tab, and a fair number fail in the process.

There are many ways to get disinvest-

ed in your college experience, and one is to be resentful of where you’re going to school. If that’s how you feel about going locally and living at home, your parents should reconsider their plan. Some kids don’t care that much about the “college experience” while others thrive on it. Still others wouldn’t make it to graduation with that sense of school spirit, and a fair number go down in flames because of it.

So everyone’s experience will vary, and you and the folks need to have some serious discussions fast. This is a decision that should already have been made.

If it’s getting contentious, consider a mediator to help you and your parents come to a solution. Many therapists in college towns are good at this, but it could also be a pastor, school counselor or other trusted adult. The bottom line is that you need to feel energized when you hit the campus this fall, ready to put forth the effort necessary to make the investment in time and money pay off. Your parents need to do all they can, within a reasonable budget, to help you make that happen. That’s a parent’s job — to get fired by their best customers.

‘Slip, slap, slop and wrap’ to avoid UV overexposure

BY AYNSLEY ANDERSON

W

armer weather is finally here, and for many, that means more time spent on outdoor activi-

ties.

It is also the time of year to seriously think about protecting yourself from sun exposure.

Skin cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in the United States.

“Slip, Slap, Slop and Wrap” is a sunprotection education campaign recently adopted by the American Cancer Society.

Launched in 1981 in Australia as a public health campaign to combat high rates of skin cancer, “Slip, Slap, Slop and Wrap” is credited with greatly reducing the incidence of two kinds of skin cancers in that country.

Slip on protective clothing. This includes long pants, shirts with long sleeves and sunglasses.

Consider purchasing specially made sun-protective (UPF) clothing to wear for outdoor activities. UPF means ultraviolet protection factor. A fabric with a rating of 50 will al-

low only 1/50th of the sun’s UV rays to pass through. This means your skin’s UV radiation exposure will be reduced significantly, because only 2 percent of the UV rays will get through.

Slap on a wide-brimmed hat with at least a 2-3 inch brim all around. A baseball cap does not provide protection for many vulnerable areas such as the ears, and a straw hat lets the sun through. Consider a special shade hat that also protects the neck.

Slop on sunscreen. Applying a generous amount of sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 is key to help protecting you from the sun.

Wrap on UV sunglasses.

Look for glasses with a label that says “Meets ANSI UV requirements.” This means the glasses will block at least 99 percent of UVA and UVB rays.

For more information in “Slip, Slap, Slop and Wrap” or skin cancer, visit cancer.org.

SUMMER BUCKET LIST Set a goal for family fun

BY SARA SHEPHERD

T

wo summers ago, Emily Mueller scratched out a summer fun to-do list on a notepad and left it on the kitchen counter. As is all too often the case, she said, it just sat there.

“You have 1,000 different ideas and things you want to do, and it’s going to be so great,” the Lawrence mom said. “Next thing you know, it’s Labor Day and you’ve only done, like, half of it.”

Last summer was a different story. By the time fall arrived, Mueller, her husband, Scott Mueller, and their 2-year-old son, Peter, had done nearly everything on their list, including making Popsicles, going to the Lawrence Busker Festival, checking out the Cottin’s Hardware Farmers Market, watching the Tour of Lawrence roll through downtown and catching fireflies outside.

Mueller was one of about 130 people to sign up for the first Summer Bucket List Challenge. The challenge — which kicks off its second summer today — is part of the online Happy Family Movement purveyed by Kansas City area photographers Josh and Jenny Solar.

The Solars started the movement for the same reason that Mueller signed up.

The Raymore, Mo., couple — parents of Max, 7; Ava, 5; and Lia, 3 — found themselves making lofty plans at the beginning of each summer then just plain not getting to them.

Last year, they wrote their ideas on

The trip was one of the larger items on the family’s Summer Bucket List Challenge list in 2011. brightly colored cards and pinned them to a clothesline on the wall. They decided to make it a challenge and try to get other families involved, too.

They collected email addresses via their website, thehappyfamilymovement.com, sent out an electronic newsletter with bucket list tips and urged participants to send in photos and share their own experiences on the Happy Family Movement Facebook page.

The Solars watched a sunset, played tag, watched fireworks in the park, went to the zoo, splashed in both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans (the couple own their own business, Solar Photographers, so their schedule is flexible), got ice-cream from the ice-cream man and took the kids to their first Royals game.

“We had, like, the best summer ever last year,” Jenny Solar said. “We did every single thing on our list, and it was so awesome.”

Solar herself grew up in what she described as a “broken” family. Her dad died when she was 8, though she never really knew him, Solar said. She grew up living with her mother, but she wasn’t involved in her life, and she’s never been close with her brothers.

Shooting weddings for many “amazing” couples — so in love and surrounded by close-knit relatives — has been inspirational for her and her husband, Solar said.

“We look at that, and we want that for our own family,” she said.

“We really, really want to have that loving, close, connected family.”

Hopefully, Solar said, by creating fond memories when the kids are little, they’ll be more likely to want to come home for dinner on Sundays even when they’re adults.

When it comes to participating in activities with your children, benefits abound, said Deborah Edelman-Dolan, a child and family services senior therapist at Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center.

“Children learn much more from watching what we do than what we say,” she said. “If you’re going out with your kids to do something, they learn that you value them.”

Younger children, especially, also learn proper ways to act by watching their parents model behaviors, whether it be while out hiking or eating at a restaurant.

“As they get older, they look

more and more toward their peers, but it’s good to have that family experience to have a base to start with,” Edelman-Dolan said.

To craft a good list for your family, consider your time constraints, your budget and each family member’s interests, Edelman-Dolan said.

Taking a walk around Clinton Lake might be just as much fun as spending $50 a person or more to visit an amusement park, she said. And not everyone can take a month off at a time for vacations. Parents with more rigid work schedules might think about packing a picnic dinner and taking it to the park some evening.

“It doesn’t have to be complicated, you don’t have to go far,” Edelman-Dolan said. “The point is spending time together and making it pleasant.”

Just like anything, she added, moderation is key.

“The goal is to do fun activities that give you quality time with

your kids,” Edelman-Dolan said. “If you plan 26 things in one day, how are you going to enjoy just being together?”

Solar said she and her husband limited last summer’s bucket list to 22 items. This summer, they have 21. With three months of summer, that makes for about seven activities per month.

As suggested in the Solar’s Bucket List Challenge newsletter, Mueller found a fun way to present her list. Instead of the notepad on the counter, she created a word collage of activities using Wordle.net, posted it on the fridge and crossed off items as the family did them.

She tried to include activities that took a lot of time or planning and others that were simpler — and free. Mueller said that Lawrence always seemed more like a college town but that doing homework for her list revealed many activities for children, even very young ones.

Mueller said she planned to participate in the challenge again this summer — but in a new place.

She and her family moved to Madison, Wis., just a few weeks ago, and she’s heard of an airplane-themed diner she thinks Peter will love. That will go on the list, she said, along with a number of yet-to-bedetermined activities.

“It will be a nice way to kind of get to Submitted photo know the new city that we live in,” she said.

Downtown K.C. packed with activities

I

t happened 100 years ago, but the tragic impact of the sinking of the legendary ocean liner can still be felt by visitors touring “Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition” this spring and summer at Union Station in the heart of downtown Kansas City.

More than 300 legendary artifacts, conserved from the Titanic’s debris field by the company that holds exclusive rights to the wreck site, are on display in the 15,000-square-foot Bank of America Gallery.

The artifacts, including china dinnerware etched with the logo of the White Star Line, are impressive in their own right, when you consider that they were salvaged from wreckage 2.5 miles deep in the North Atlantic Ocean, but the most compelling thing about the exhibit is the way it relates the human stories of the passengers onboard the doomed ship.

NANCY PISTORIUS

DAYTRIPPER Extensive room re-creations (including the Grand Staircase area), the bell from the crow’s nest (rung that fateful night), and passengers’ luggage and personal effects make history come alive with a poignancy that is sometimes almost too much to bear.

Children might enjoy touring the noisy “engine room” with its authentic-looking boilers, and also putting their hands on a replica of an iceberg to get a feel for how cold it was that fateful night when more than 1,500 people perished in the sea.

Upon entering the exhibit, ticket holders are handed a boarding pass containing the name of one of the actual Titanic passengers, and at the end of the tour, they can check names on a wall to see if their person is listed as a survivor.

The exhibit, which runs through Sept. 3 and has attracted more than 54,000 visitors since opening March 10, is only one of the current huge draws downtown.

History buffs will also be awestruck by the National World War I Museum, flanked by the Liberty Memorial, where you can experience the war through the eyes of those who lived it. Upon entering this fairly new (just six years old), award-winning museum, you walk across the glass Paul Sunderland Bridge, which spans a field of 9,000 poppies, each representing 1,000 combat deaths during World War I. You can’t help but be deeply moved as you continue exploring this extraordinary window to the human spirit, as revealed by genuine artifacts and many high-tech, interactive exhibits.

Family-friendly fun abounds in the area — with old standbys Science City (an “edutainment” center in Union Station, featuring more than 50 interactive displays for

exploration, experimentation and discovery), Kaleidoscope (a Hallmark-sponsored creative art studio for kids at Crown Center) and the Coterie Theatre at Crown Center (“one of the five best theaters for young audiences in the U.S.,” according to Time Magazine). Crown Center also welcomes two new kids on the block: SEA LIFE Kansas City Aquarium (which was profiled in last month’s Daytripper column) and LEGOLAND Discovery Center.

According to statistics compiled by LEGOLAND, the world’s children spend 5 billion hours a year playing with LEGO bricks. No wonder the 30,000-square-feet indoor LEGOLAND Discovery Center in KC (like SEA LIFE, owned and operated by Merlin Entertainments) is already wildly popular with local kids and their parents.

For the small fry, there are two amusement park rides — including one, Kingdom Quest, which is very much like the Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin ride found at the Magic Kingdom theme park at Walt Disney World Resort — a LEGO factory, DUPLO Village, LEGO Racers: Build & Test, LEGO Friends, LEGO City and LEGO Stu-

dios, a “4-D” movie theater where you just might get wet along with the characters on screen.

There’s also a climbing playground with tunnels and big, soft LEGO bricks; a Master Building Academy, where kids and their parents can learn to make smaller-sized LEGO models, like pirate ships or turtles; and a MINILAND, which features Kansas City landmarks including Union Station, Liberty Memorial, Country Club Plaza, the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Starlight Theatre, Kansas Speedway and Truman Sports Complex, made from more than 1 million LEGO bricks.

Special lighting and sound effects display the models both by daylight and at night — when colorful fireworks burst into the air over the sports stadiums, to the cheers of the “crowds” of LEGO people.

MINILAND, which includes a section devoted to scenes from the Wizard of Oz, might best be appreciated by adults, although adults age 18 or older won’t be admitted to LEGOLAND unless they’re accompanied by a child. (Children are also not admitted unless accompanied by an adult.)

However, I found a few of the attractions to be well worth a visit even without a kid in tow, so was glad to learn that LEGOLAND is planning adults-only nights on the third Monday of each month.

Recipes for fresh-picked strawberries

BY ADRIENNE PARANJOTHI

E

ven if you’re not planting a garden of your own this year, you can still take part in a harvest.

Jerry and Jane Wohletz, owners of Wohletz Farm Fresh in Lawrence, invite you to their farm to pick and gather your own strawberries.

Jane has fond memories of being with her mother and siblings preparing strawberry jam.

“Growing up it was a yearly springtime event that my mom, three brothers and I would go pick strawberries. When we got home, the boys and I would get busy stemming the berries and Mom was busy getting all her canning equipment prepared to make strawberry jam,” she says. “We all spent the day in the kitchen together laughing, talking, working and just being together. It is this memory that drove me to want to start a you-pick of my own. I hope families come to our you-pick year after year and create memories they cherish.”

Jane recommends starting out with a simple jam recipe for those unsure how to prepare their fresh-picked strawberries.

“I recommend making jam because first, it’s almost as easy as boiling water, then there’s the tasty jam you get to eat and share all year long, but the best reason is kids can help and will take such pride in knowing they made something so good,” she says.

Below are canning directions and a strawberry pie recipe.

COOKED STRAWBERRY JAM Makes 8 cups Pick 4 pints fresh strawberries. Wash and stem berries. In a 6-quart or 8-quart sauce pot, crush the strawberries. This should give you 5 cups of crushed strawberries; if necessary, add up to 1/2 cup water to get exactly 5 cups.

Pour in a box of pectin (such as SureJell). Add 1/2 teaspoon butter or margarine (this helps reduce foaming).

Bring to a rolling boil and stir constantly.

Quickly, stir in 7 cups sugar. Return to full rolling boil and boil exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.

Skim off foam. Ladle quickly into warm mason canning jars and fill within 1/8 inch to the top. Wipe jar rims and threads clean then screw on two-piece lids. If the jars are warm and the jam mixture is warm when it goes in the jars, then you should have no trouble with the jars sealing. If the jars do not seal, you may have to put in a

STRAWBERRY PIE 4 cups fresh strawberries 1 cup water 3/4 cup sugar 3 tablespoons cornstarch red food coloring 8- or 9-inch baked pie shell Mash 1 cup of fresh strawberries and cook over high heat with 1 cup water for about 2 minutes.

Combine sugar and cornstarch; stir into the mashed berry mixture. Cook and stir until sauce is thickened and bubbly.

Add a few drops of red food coloring for a deeper red pie. Place 1 1/2 cups of fresh, washed and stemmed strawberries into a baked and cooled pie shell. Pour half the sauce over the berries. Repeat the layers with the remaining strawberries and sauce. Chill for at least 1 hour.

STRAWBERRY VINAIGRETTE 5 quarts fresh strawberries, washed and stemmed 1 quart white distilled vinegar Sugar Place strawberries in a large stainless steel pot or plastic container. Pour vinegar over strawberries and let sit overnight.

The next day, pour off liquid from strawberries and reserve. Liquid should be red and clear with no pulp (vinegar pulls juice out of strawberries).

Measure reserved strawberry juice and place in a stainless steel stockpot or saucepan. Add an equal amount of sugar. Bring to a boil.

Skim off foam. Pour into jars.

Serve cold. Refrigerate leftovers.

I want to go out and buy seven floor-length dresses to wear each day of the week so I never feel left out.

ALI EDWARDS

SUMMER STATEMENT: MAXI DRESSES

I

magine wearing a blanket at all times.

That’s it: just the softest blanket you could ever touch.

Instead of it keeping you warm, though, it keeps you cool. It’s made out of the breeziest fabric known to man. In fact, it’s so breezy, it feels like you’re wearing nothing at all. So I guess it’s actually like an un-blanket.

It’s the most liberating outfit ever created: it’s the maxi dress, and it’s here for summer.

Usually, for the “Spotted it, found it” columns, I spot three separate looks that I see on the street.

However, when I went out to take pictures for this particular column, it seemed as though every single woman in Lawrence called each other and collectively decided to freak me out by wearing the same exact outfit.

And I’m not even upset about it. In fact, I want to go out and buy seven floor-length dresses to wear each day of the week so I never feel left out.

You just can’t go wrong with a maxi dress.

Very rare is it that you can be comfortable without wearing your pajamas, indulge in the warm weather without looking sweaty and look adorable without trying.

Just slip one of these numbers on, add some cute sandals and a couple pieces of jewelry, and you’re ready to roll.

GRAY DRESS This is an evening gown version of the full-length dress trend, but I really love the subtle peek of skin this dress shows. The design makes the dress unique but keeps it classy and understated. She had just bought the dress at BCBG that day, and happily confirmed that she experienced absolutely no buyer’s remorse.

BLACK AND WHITE STRIPED DRESS I caught this woman at a red light on graduation weekend as she and her family headed toward their dinner reservation. After I snapped this photo of the dress and perfectly paired bag, I hopped into a picture with this graduate and her mom at the request of her father. Anything to aid in the celebration of another Jayhawk!

I love how she dressed up the casual cotton dress with a delicate gold necklace and watch.

This dress is one of the most casual of the maxi dresses I saw parading down Mass Street, and it’s still adorable and “night out” worthy.

I’ve seen a lot of ladies pairing denim jackets with floor-length dresses, and this gives my denim-loving soul such delight.

SKIRTS While I didn’t take any photos of floorlength skirts on the street, it’s worth noting that they are everywhere in the stores.

I found a slender, straight gray one at Nomads 725 Mass. on sale for less than $20, and a hot pink one at Miss Fortune’s Creation Station, 726 Mass., for just more than $20.

Local versions of the dresses were at Hobb’s, 700 Mass., and Miss Fortune’s Creation Station, but I found plenty more at Nomads as well.

Teacher appreciation

River City Jules

Protect your skin this Summer with Bare Escentuals New SPF 20 Moisturizer

J

ust as Alice Cooper has promised for decades, school is nearly out for summer.

For 10 blessed weeks, there will be no hurried mornings, no homework-laden afternoons and no Sunday night dread.

As much as my kids look forward to the lazier days of summer, the brave and dedicated souls who answered the call to teach said children have got to be even more giddy with excitement as the final bell draws near.

Every once in a while, I volunteer in one of my kids’ classrooms or accompany a field trip to remind myself how immensely unqualified I am to teach. (I highly recommend this to all parents. You think helping your own kid with math is hard? Try helping 24 of them!)

In spite if my lack of training, a friend asked me this past school year to cover for a local preschool teacher while she attended a brief staff meeting.

It had been several years since I last had a preschooler at home, but my sister has one she shares on occasion. There are few people who can bring such instant joy to my day like my 4-year-old, Batman-maskwearing nephew, Charlie, can.

The opportunity to spend 20 minutes with a classroom full of happy creatures like him was enough to get me to trade in my yoga pants and T-shirt for a skirt and blouse for an afternoon.

I waited eagerly in the music room for my class to arrive. And arrive they did, just as pudgy-armed and bright-eyed as I remembered preschoolers being.

They willingly and upon my first request sat in their chairs in an orderly fashion.

The lesson plan called for a movie, Elmo in the classic tale of Peter and the Wolf, pretty much stretching me to the limit of my teaching abilities.

Only at Eccentricity!

I introduced myself to the kids, dimmed the lights and started the show, taking a seat off to the side.

Just as the opening credits rolled, a hand went up into the air. I called upon its owner, a precious little white-blond boy.

“Is there going to be a real wolf?” he asked with some concern.

“No,” I assured him, “It’s just pretend.

Nothing to worry about.” This seemed to satisfy him, so I kept to myself my opinions about Cujo, Jaws and SpongeBob. But his hand soon went up again.

Not wanting to disturb the others watching the show, I announced, “If you have any questions, come to me and ask quietly.”

Five kids suddenly appeared at my feet, starting with the hand-raiser.

“Did you know Telly and Elmo are friends?” asked my new friend.

“I have a baby sister,” said the girl behind him.

The next two forgot their questions and sat back down to remember them, but the last little girl I will never forget.

“Um, I love you,” she whispered, melting my heart.

Everyone should have that kind of appreciation at work, but I can think of few who deserve it more than teachers.

ashing a car may sound like child’s play, but here are a few pointers to help avoid telltale signs of a novice wash job.

Step 1: Start with a good-quality car wash mitt. Unlike old T-shirts, towels and rags, mitts hold lots of water and help pull dirt away from the car surface, reducing the risk of scratches and swirl marks.

Step 2: Dish soap is for dishes, not for cars. Dish soap will strip the vehicle’s wax finish and dry out rubber seals and plastic moldings. Splurge a little and buy a good quality car wash shampoo.

Step 3: Use a garden hose with a gentle spray or a free-flow nozzle. High-pressure nozzles tend to embed dirt into the car’s surface.

Step 4: Fill two 5-gallon buckets — one with just water and the other with a water/ shampoo mixture. Use the bucket of clean water to rinse the car wash mitt between scrubbings.

Step 5: Wash the car in a shady spot on a day with little or no wind. Begin by washing the wheel wells and tires before proceeding to the vehicle body.

Step 6: Wet the entire surface of the car with a gentle spray to remove any loose dirt or grime.

Step 7: Start at the top of the car and

work your way down to the bottom.

Squeeze a full load of soapy water from the car wash mitt onto the area to be washed.

Allow the suds to set for a minute before gently wiping them up in a straight sweeping motion. Overlap strokes to avoid streak marks.

Step 8: Rinse the mitt after the first pass and repeat the process as necessary, applying more pressure on the second and third scrubbing.

Step 9: Once an area is clean, rinse the soapy residue away with a free-flowing garden hose. Allow water to sheet off the surface with the full flow of the hose to reduce both water spots and drying time.

Step 10: Continue washing the vehicle in sections, working around the car several times. Rinse regularly and make sure all surfaces remain wet throughout the process.

Step 11: When finished, dry the car with microfiber towels or chamois. Wipe gently, in straight lines to avoid scratches.

Wring towels out as they become soaked and use a secondary dry towel to pick up any remaining droplets.
