Observing the speed limit can save drivers 91 cents per gallon of gas.

Drivers who avoid rapid accelerations can increase their fuel efficiency by 33 percent.

And, according to a 2007 Oversight and Government Reform subcommittee report, retailers could save American motorists more than $1 billion a summer by adjusting prices to match the rising temperature of gas, eliminating the “hot fuel premium.”

Understanding the “hot fuel premium” requires a basic understanding of physics. As the temperature of any liquid, including gasoline, increases, its volume also increases. However, the amount of energy that gasoline contains depends on its weight, not volume. Hot gasoline

is less potent than cool gasoline, and drivers get less mileage from the hotter variety.

The wholesale gas industry uses a “standard gallon” model that compensates buyers for temperature fluctuations. However, no retailers, beside those in Hawaii, compensate for temperature change at the gas pump, which cost Americans $1.5 billion in summer 2007, according to a House of Representatives report.

Myth or fact?

The debate over temperature fluctuation continued for several years with no official analysis, prompting California to release a 149-page study on the matter.

The report surveyed gas data from 2008 and 2009 and calculated that motorists would have bought 117 million fewer gallons Please see FUEL, page 2A

Wyoming will make it easier.

She said the average price of gas there is about $3.55 a gallon, cheaper than the $3.75 gas found in Lawrence.

Although Barger can no longer enjoy destinations within driving distance of Lawrence, for those still here stuck with higher prices, travel options exist that will maximize enjoyment while minimizing costs.

Two of these options — Emporia and the Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum — are holding special events in the next few weeks.

Here are a few ideas for economical day trips:

Celebrate the Flint Hills Between June 2 and June 12, Emporia will host Celebrate the Flint Hills Week, an array of events to showcase the Flint Hills and their place in Kansas life.

The celebration begins Thursday with a screening of “Ride with the Devil” at the Granada Theatre in Emporia.

The film, a 1999 Civil War drama starring Tobey Maguire, was shot in Kansas and Missouri.

Built in 1929, the historic Granada underwent a $2.8 million, three-year renovation before reopening in 2008.

“Of all the theaters in Kansas, I think it probably tops the list in extended renovation,” said Susan Rathke of the Emporia Convention and Visitor’s Bureau.

The busiest day is June 10, which will feature music and documentaries at the Granada Theatre throughout the afternoon, followed by a beer garden and free outdoor concert in the evening.

On June 12, a vintage baseball game will be played.

Celebrate the Flint Hills Week is centered on Symphony in the Flint Hills, a concert on June 11 by the Kansas City Symphony in the tallgrass prairie.

“This is an effort to give those people who are coming to the concert a little extra to do before and after the event,” Rathke said.

More information and a complete schedule can be found at emporiagranada.com/wp/cal endar/celebrate/.

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

Eisenhower Museum Though the Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum in Abilene has been open for more than 50 years, the center continues to examine the Kansas-raised president from unique perspectives.

This year marks the 50th anniversary of Dwight D. Eisenhower leaving the presidency. To commemorate the anniversary, the center is housing a new exhibit this summer, “Eisenhower: Agent of Change.”

The exhibit is a 50-year retrospective examining the policy decisions made by the president and the issues that confronted him during his two terms in office.

The center’s communication director, Samantha Kenner, said she’s hoping to keep visitors of all ages engaged with the exhibit.

efit for consumers was an increased perception of fairness, which was not evaluated in the report.

So, perhaps, stick to known methods that will increase gas efficiency.

Christopher Depcik, a

Kansas University associate professor specializing in automotive engineering, gave one simple suggestion: Keep your foot off the gas pedal and coast down hills.

Kenner also said an Eisenhower family reunion was planned for the end of June and is expected to bring together grandchildren of the president as well as extended family.

I n a d d i t i o n to t h e anniversary activities, the museum maintains permanent galleries and Eisenhower’s boyhood home. In the summer, the museum is open from 8 a.m. to 5:45 p.m. every day.

Perry Lake Clinton Lake is closer to Lawrence, but Perry Lake is another option for nearby outdoor entertainment.

Perry Lake, maintained by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, offers boating, camping, hiking and picnic opportunities. The park also has 140 acres of ATV and dirt bike trails. In addition, the park has about 25 miles of equestrian trail suitable for the “average” rider, according to the Corps of Engineers.

Landowners are key to Flint Hills tourism

1 | NEW YORK CITY

Syria says it will end nuclear secrecy In a major turnaround, Syria is pledging full cooperation with U.N. attempts to probe strong evidence that it secretly built a reactor that could have been used to make nuclear arms, according to a confidential document shared with The Associated Press on Sunday.

If Syria fulfills its promise, the move would end three years of stonewalling by Damascus of the International Atomic Energy Agency. Since 2008, the agency has tried in vain to follow up on strong evidence that a target bombed in 2007 by Israeli warplanes was a nearly built nuclear reactor that would have produced plutonium once active.

Syria’s sudden readiness to cooperate seems to be an attempt at derailing U.S.-led attempts to have Damascus referred to the U.N. Security Council amid already strong international pressure on the Syrian leadership to end its crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrators.

2 | TEXAS

Ex-Gov. Bill Clements dies at age 94 Former Texas Gov. Bill Clements, who in 1979 became the state’s first Republican elected governor since Reconstruction, has died at 94, his family said.

Clements, whose belief that state government should operate like a big business helped change the face of Texas politics, died Sunday after what his family said was a brief stay at a Dallas-area hospital.

Family members said Clements had been ill for several months and grieving the death of his son, who was shot and killed by a neighbor last year.

“It is somewhat fitting that he died Memorial Day weekend since he so appreciated the opportunities he had to serve his state and country,” Clements’ family said in a statement.

Clements served two terms as governor despite losing his first re-election bid. The Texas House honored him with a moment of silence Sunday on the chamber floor.

Brownback says area’s potential must be realized ‘the Kansas way’

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

Gov. Sam Brownback says he wants more tourism and outdoor opportunities in Kansas but doesn’t want the government to pay for them.

With the beautiful backdrop of the Flint Hills behind him, Brownback recently said the area is ready to “pop” for tourists looking for the next big thing.

He said he wants hiking, biking and horseback riding trails with easy access. He envisions folks in Wichita hitching up a horse trailer Brownback and being in the saddle within 30 minutes enjoying the rolling hills and tallgrass prairie.

“They’ll have this kind of experience where they are on hilltops and they’re looking over vistas, and seeing cattle and no people,” Brownback said during a break at his Flint Hills tourism economic summit this month near Elmdale.

But he said “you have to do it the Kansas way, which is not the government purchasing the land.”

The Kansas way has produced the lowest percentage of public

lands than any state in the nation.

Kansas Wildlife and Parks Secretary Robin Jennison said access to land is a challenge when trying to lure tourists to experience the outdoors of the state.

“Landowners must be involved,” Jennison said. “The department stands ready to work with landowners to develop a strategy that works for all of us.”

Blasts mark inauguration of president Goodluck Jonathan was sworn in Sunday for a full four-year term as president of Nigeria and is now faced with the challenge of uniting a country that saw deadly postelection violence despite what observers called the fairest vote in more than a decade.

Hours after the ceremony, a series of bomb blasts at an army barracks in Bauchi in the country’s northeast killed at least five people, according to a police official who spoke on condition of anonymity.

The stately ceremony at the main parade ground in Nigeria’s capital of Abuja came just over a year after Jonathan was sworn into office to complete the term of late President Umar Musa Yar’Adua. Yar’Adua’s death catapulted the former vice president to power last year, but April 16 elections solidified his hold on the presidency.

Pakistan finds comfort in conspiracies Facing a surge in violence after the killing of Osama bin Laden, Pakistanis are taking comfort in conspiracy theories that allege Indian or American agents — not fellow Muslim countrymen — are behind the attacks, especially last week’s brazen assault on a naval base.

Lawmakers, media pundits, retired generals and even government officials often hint at suspicions of a “foreign hand” in the violence, despite there being no evidence and often explicit claims of responsibility by militant groups like the Pakistani Taliban.

Aired on television talk shows and in newspapers, conspiracy theories are everywhere — underscoring the challenges facing the United States as it seeks to convince Pakistan’s overwhelmingly anti-American population that it faces a shared enemy in the Taliban.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton fought back Friday against the stories flying around.

“America cannot and should not solve Pakistan’s problems, that is up to Pakistan,” she told reporters.

‘It is our way to say thank you’

By Marsha Henry Goff Special to the Journal-World

Franck Maurouard and his family of Normandy, France, have not forgotten the sacrifices made by American soldiers trying to liberate France from German occupation during World War II. Each Memorial Day for the past 10 years, Franck, his wife, Anne, and their children, Alexandre, 16, and Eloise, 14, have decorated the graves of two American Rangers who died in the D-Day invasion, June 6, 1944.

They volunteered to care for the graves in Colleville sur Mer cemetery by applying to Les Fleurs de la Memoire, an organization that encourages French citizens to remember on Memorial Day the graves of

Americans who gave their lives to liberate France and who remain forever in French soil. Les Fleurs de la Memoire (lesfleursdelamemoire.com) represents 132 French Fraternal Associations, 70 French towns and villages, and 3,677 French citizens who have adopted, in perpetuity, 10,451 graves.

Maurouard, who served in the French Navy for 17 years and is now a laboratory technician at the school where his wife teaches, requested to be assigned the grave of one Ranger from the 2nd Battalion and another from the 5th Battalion.

But he has done far more than decorate the graves of Pvt. Joseph Trainor of Wisconsin and Pvt. Elmo Banning of Sedan, Kan. He researched the details of their

deaths and shortened lives and searched for their surviving relatives. He and his family developed a close relationship with Pvt. Banning’s family, now residing in California.

Banning was 20 when he waded ashore on Omaha Beach. He was on a patrol led

by Sgt. Walter McIlwain — who later became a close friend of Maurouard — when the patrol was hit by heavy artillery fire. McIlwain and another soldier were wounded; Banning was killed.

Before the war, young Elmo Banning was a farm laborer earning $8 a week.

According to his brother Melvin, eight years younger, Elmo was a typical farm boy, active and mischievous. Melvin Please see D-DAY, page 5A

Tunnels under central Kansas town tell a thoroughly riveting tale Editor’s note: This is one in a series of occasional stories written in conjunction with Kansas’ 150th birthday.

By Beccy Tanner The Wichita Eagle

ELLINWOOD — It is a late-19th-century man cave: A harness shop, a barber shop and that bathhouse where women known as “soiled doves” entertained road-weary strangers while clothes dried on wooden racks and bath suds dripped through the cracks of wood floors.

It is the dark underbelly of life the Ellinwood tunnels portray.

And, it is one of the quirkier stops in central Kansas.

For more than three decades, these tunnels have allowed visitors to travel in time, back to the days of railroad salesmen and cowboys, proper Victorian standards mixed with the day-to-day grittiness of frontier life.

“The businesses they put down there were for men only,” said Bill Starr, owner of Starr Antiques, Wolf Hotel and the Ellinwood Underground.

“Women did not go to the underground unless they were classified as soiled doves,” Starr said.

Really, prostitutes?

Yes. In the bathhouse?

Yes. More about that later.

Towns with tunnels More than a century ago, it was a fairly common practice for up-andcoming cities to build underground tunnels and shops.

“In Chicago, in the late 19th century, they built this system of tun-

nels underneath the downtown,” said Pauline Saliga, director of the Society of Architectural Historians, based in Chicago. “What they were for was a little underground railroad system. They brought supplies into hotels and office buildings. It was a really complex system that was designed to serve the buildings up above.”

Eventually, as stores and buildings began adding loading docks and truck traffic took over, the underground tunnels lost their intended purpose, Saliga said.

“The tunnels are not as rare as

you think — Toronto, Montreal, they all have well-developed tunnel systems. We don’t know when they started, but they are really complex and beautiful. And, the way they connect with hotels and office buildings, it is not just an afterthought.”

In Kansas, more than a half-dozen communities boast a system of underground tunnels and shops, including Caldwell, Ellsworth, Lincoln, Leavenworth, Douglass and Fort Scott.

SOUND OFF

Q:

What conditions must be met to sound a tornado siren? Why did they sound it on May 21 when we were under a tornado warning and all of the tornadoes were east and south of us?

A:

Douglas County Emergency Management Director Teri Smith said the county’s outdoor warning sirens are activated when the National Weather Service issues a tornado warning for Douglas County or when local officials determine a tornado threat to the area exists, including based on reports from trained spotters and law enforcement officers.

Smith said the sirens were sounded countywide on the evening of May 21 because the National Weather Service issued a tornado warning for Douglas County based on what spotters saw in Shawnee County. The storm system also appeared to be moving into Douglas County.

“That was all the information we had. It was very sudden, and storms were producing very rapidly. Tornadoes were coming with a majority of them,” Smith said.

She said her office later modified the warning to only include the northwestern part of the county when officials received more information about the storm. Later that night, storm system warning sirens were sounded in southern Douglas County only, Smith said.

No major damage was reported in Douglas County due to those storms.

ON THE RECORD

N.Y. TIMES CROSSWORD SOLUTION FOR MAY 29

LJWORLD.COM/BLOTTER

CONDITION UPDATES • A 9-year-old boy hit by a pickup truck Saturday afternoon along Haskell Avenue at Ward Avenue in eastern Lawrence was treated at a Topeka hospital for a concussion and “some slight road rash” and likely has been released, Lawrence Police Sgt. Kirk Fultz said Sunday.

Fultz said that the driver of the truck had been traveling north when he had come upon a group of children who had been playing tag or some other similar game.

“And the kid ran out into the street,” Fultz said.

Lawrence Police are investigating the accident, and Fultz said that he had no information about whether the driver had been issued a citation.

Fultz said that he could not provide any other information about the injured child, other than that the boy was recovering.

• A Lawrence High School teacher and the 28-year-old man who was driving a car that was involved in a head-on collision Thursday east of St. Louis remained in serious condition Sunday at hospital in St. Louis.

Corey Roelofs, 28, and David Platt, 44, a social studies teacher at LHS, remained in serious condition Sunday, after having been moved out of the Intensive Care Unit on Saturday at St. Louis University Hospital, said Laura Keller, a hospital spokeswoman.

The two men had been admitted in critical condition.

ACCIDENT REPORT • A semi-trailer truck jackknifed into a barrier wall at milepost 214.6 on the Kansas Turnpike around 6:45 Sunday evening. The accident had traffic at a standstill for nearly two hours, according to Kansas Turnpike Authority dispatchers. The semi blocked westbound lanes after another vehicle made an “unsafe lane change,” causing the truck to swerve to miss it, hitting the wall. There were no injuries, according to dispatchers.

CREWS FIGHT a smoldering blaze in a home at the Riverside Manufactured Home Community, 420 North St., on Sunday. A mattress inside the home had caught fire.

Fire damages family’s possessions

LAWRENCE

The JournalWorld found gas prices as low as $3.75 at several stations. If you find a lower price, call 8327154.

Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical responded to a structure fire at Riverside Manufactured Home Community, 420 North St., about 7 p.m.LAWRENCE Sunday.

Alicia Langford, who owns the home, lives there with her 4-year-old daughter and her mother, Tonette Langford. Tonette Langford was home when the f ire

started and got out safely.

“We don’t smoke in the house. I was sitting out front having a cigarette, got done and went in, and it looked like there was a haze of smoke, but the sun was coming through the back glass.

“I didn’t see where it was coming out of, but I smelled it.

I went to the back room and opened the door, and that’s when the black smoke hit me and knocked me down,” Tonette Langford said.

Firefighters threw a burning mattress out a window and extinguished it outside.

Neither Alicia nor Tonette Langford knew the cause of the fire, which is still under investigation. The fire was under control by 7:45 p.m.

“It just sucks to be a single mom and lose everything my daughter owns,” Alicia Langford said.

Two women file lawsuit against Kansas Department of Corrections The Topeka Capital-Journal reported Sunday that Jan Lunsford, spokesman for the Kansas Department of Corrections, said the department does not discuss lawsuits that are pending.

John Kurtz, a Kansas City lawyer representing former inmates Tracy Keith and Rebecca Fleetwood, also declined to comment.

In the separate lawsuits filed in mid-May in U.S. District Court for Kansas, the plaintiffs assert that corrections officials responsible for oversight at the prison failed to protect the constitutional rights of inmates to be free from assault by state employees. The women are seeking unspecified damages.

Named as defendants in

both cases were Roger Werholtz, former secretary of the corrections department; Richard Koerner, former TCF warden; William Cummings, current TCF deputy warden; former TCF Maj. Joseph Essman; former TCF Capt. Mark Robertson, as well as Gallardo and VanDyke.

Former inmates allege sexual abuse TOPEKA (AP) — Two former inmates at a Topeka prison have filed federal lawsuits against the state Department of Corrections, alleging they were forced into sexual contact with two prison employees.

The Topeka Correctional Facility employees at the center of the lawsuit were dismissed by the KDOC after evidence of misconduct surfaced. Both men, TCF plumbing instructor Anastacio Gallardo and corrections officer Nathan VanDyke, were prosecuted in Shawnee County District Court and convicted of having unlawful sexual relations with at least one female inmate at the East Topeka prison, which has about 250 employees and 550 inmates.

Smile Whitening

The Topeka Capital-Journal published a series of stories in 2009 regarding sexual misconduct at the prison.

In response to the stories, the Kansas Legislature elevated the criminal penalty for unlawful sexual relations with a prisoner to a sentence of 31 months to 34 months.

Landowners “ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

Brownback said he would like to see easements being purchased from private property owners so that a person could come to a certain point on a certain date and experience the great outdoors.

The state does have programs where it leases private land and sites for hunting and fishing. The Walk-In Hunting Access program costs about $2.8 million per year, and the Fishing Impoundments and Stream Habitat program cost about $177,000 during the current year to open privately owned f ishing areas, according to the Wildlife and Parks Department.

Both programs are funded through federal funds — excise taxes on hunting and fishing equipment distributed to states — and fee funds from the sale of licenses and permits, the agency said.

But Tom Warner, a professor at Kansas State University, who has been working for several years on putting together equestrian trails in the Flint Hills, agrees with Brownback that the key to unlocking the region’s potential is working with private landowners.

Warner said he believes the Flint Hills are about to take off.

“Horseback riders would come from around the world to ride in the Flint Hills,” he said. “This could be a very successful operation.”

The Flint Hills are gorgeous and deserve to be preserved. It’s in the hands of private landowners and only if private landowners see an economic return to stay where they are and keep it the way it is, will they do that.

— Tom Warner, a professor at Kansas State University Horseback riding is one of the fastest growing forms of recreation in the country, and private landowners in the Flint Hills are warming to the idea of marketing what they have as a way to keep the land in their families for their children and grandchildren, he said.

“The Flint Hills are gorgeous and deserve to be preserved,” said Warner. “It’s in the hands of private landowners and only if private landowners see an economic return to stay where they are and keep it the way it is, will they do that.”

He said some ranchers will start trails next spring with guided tours, and he expected that to generate more enthusiasm. “If you know horse people, this is their lives. They spend money and they want to ride,” he said.

“They are always looking for a place to ride.”

Franck Maurouard/Special to the Journal-World

IN 2009, FRANCK MAUROUARD, CENTER, met with Elmo Banning, left, named for his uncle who was killed during DDay, and Pvt. Banning’s brother, Melvin. Maurouard is holding a tribute to Pvt. Banning, including his Purple Heart, photo and Ranger patch alongside a large photo of the Colleville sur Mer cemetery, where Banning is buried.

D-Day CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

laughs while recalling anecdotes about his brother, whom he idolized.

“I followed him around.

One time we went to cut wood and he had a bottle of whiskey and gave me a drink. I got drunk. Another time, he had me blow in the gas tank of his car to help start it. I passed out and was lying in the road. Elmo panicked!”

Melvin also remembers the day when two Rangers came to the family’s home to tell his parents that their son had been killed. It was a blow from which they never recovered. Months later, another son, Lyle, stepped on a mine in Germany, and Melvin says his parents were inconsolable when they received the telegram saying he was seriously wounded in action. Young Melvin sometimes felt that he had lost his parents as well as his brother.

In 2009, Maurouard visited Melvin and his son Elmo, named in honor of his uncle, in Sacramento, Calif. Just before leaving France, Maurouard went to Omaha Beach and filled a small box with sand and white pebbles to present to Melvin as a souvenir from the place his brother fought in France.

When asked why decorating the graves and learning the Rangers’ history is so important to him, Maurouard said, “My greatest ambition is to be able to pass on to our future generations the story of the veteran Rangers and other men to whom we as French people owe our freedom. We have decided to take care of two Rangers’ graves because we do not want to forget, and it is our way to say thank you to all of them.”

Alexandre Maurouard has created a website that is a tribute to World War II Rangers. The English version can be found at normandiehistoire44. pagesperso-orange.fr/ index_ANGLAIS.htm.

Maurouard does not know whether the gratitude he feels was instilled by his parents, but he said his father, then 9 years old, was in Grandcamp on D-Day and “saw all the allied invasion vessels coming. He will never forget that sight.”

Maurouard’s mother-in-law was only 2 years old at that time and “she still remembers the noise of the bombing.”

Maurouard said he believes that his children will continue to decorate the Rangers’ graves. He has taken his family to World War II Rangers’ reunions in the United States, and his children appear to share his interest in and fondness for the Rangers.

Alexandre Maurouard has created a website that is a tribute to World War II Rangers. The English version can be found at normandiehistoire44. pagesperso-orange.fr/ index_ANGLAIS.htm.

The town of Grandcamp has a Ranger museum where Franck Maurouard often serves as a guide to groups of school children, as well as to families of Rangers who visit the area. He wants Americans to know that “people from Normandy generally appreciate the American people who fought for them in 1944.”

It is a debt of appreciation that the Maurouard family pays each Memorial Day.

Tunnels CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

Ellinwood, though, has created a quirky tourist stop from its underground tunnels.

The Wolf Hotel, one of Ellinwood's premier buildings — and the gathering point for any tour of the tunnels — is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The hotel is across from the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad, which reached the community in 1872.

The community was largely settled in 1878 by German Protestant immigrants with last names like Bockemohle, Steckel, Manglesdorf, Clemm and Wolf.

The influx of German residents may have influenced the construction of the tunnels, Starr said.

The tunnels originally ran on both sides of Main Street for two blocks, connecting Jung's Barber Shop with the public bathhouse, Wolitz Shoe Shop, John Wever's Sample Room, Petz Meat Storage and Drummer's Sample Room, a merchandise room where salesmen from the train could display their wares.

Through the years, the tunnels served a number of uses, including storage for coal, a refuge during World War I for German residents seeking relief from the area's strong anti-German sentiment, and perhaps as a center for bootleg alcohol during Prohibition years.

By the mid-1930s to early 1940s, the Ellinwood tunnels had fallen into disuse and were closed to the public.

In 1979, Adrianna Dierolf, now deceased, rediscovered the tunnels after inheriting some of the downtown buildings in Ellinwood.

A few years later, she began showing the tunnels to the public. But her efforts were short-lived because during the summer of 1982, new sidewalks were built on Main Street and city officials had most of the remaining tunnels filled with sand.

Dierolf managed to save a short stretch of Ellinwood tunnels and left three of the underground businesses intact, showing what they might have looked like a century ago.

Her legacy and the remaining tunnels still exist under the two-story Dick Building in Ellinwood.

The tunnel resembles a storm cave, complete with stone walls and musty air.

At the turn of the 20th century, when coal was still delivered by horse and wagon, the wooden sidewalks above the tunnels were lifted, coal was dumped in, and store owners could take the coal, as needed.

"These spaces were relatively common in towns," said Sarah Martin, Kansas' National Register of Historic Places coordinator for the Kansas State Historical Society in Topeka. "They were male-dominated spaces — the pool halls, barber shops.

One in Ellsworth had a bowling alley. They were rougharound-the edges spaces, places that were dirtier below ground."

In cowboys' steps Semis shudder past on U.S. 56, only feet from Ellinwood's underground tunnels.

The highway those trucks travel is nearly the same route as the historic Santa Fe Trail, active from about 1821 to 1880.

From the mid-1860s until 1873, Ellinwood was a cowtown along the Cox Cattle Trail, said Jim Gray, a cowboy historian from Ellsworth and publisher of the Kansas Cowboy newspaper.

Like one of the major fueling stops found along an interstate today, Ellinwood was a quick stop before moving on — a chance to refuel and refresh.

At the turn of the 20th century, Ellinwood boasted 11 saloons in its underground tunnels, Starr said.

As he led visitors down the wood steps into the underground blacksmith shop, Starr reminded them that they were "the same steps cowboys and drovers walked down."

Starr pointed out the 19thcentury propaganda, a newspaper clipping on the wall encouraging settlement in Barton County: "There is no region in the United States of the Rocky Mountains where there are

“

These spaces were relatively common in towns. They were maledominated spaces — the pool halls, barber shops.

One in Ellsworth had a bowling alley. They were rough-around-the edges spaces, places that were dirtier below ground."

— Sarah Martin, Kansas' National Register of Historic Places coordinator for the Kansas State Historical Society more bright sunshiny days ... the thermometer rarely sinks below zero ... the air is so dry and pure that one scarcely realizes the range of the mercury."

No horses were brought down into the blacksmith's shop. They were tied up and left outside, Starr said. But work was done down in these quarters. He jumped on a footpowered grinding stone and held a hand scythe as sparks flew; pointing out the horse fly nets that horses once wore, a pair of leather chaps and a wagon umbrella from the Manglesdorf General Store.

But it is the bathhouse where the true uniqueness of Ellinwood's tunnels comes to light.

It's one of the few places in Kansas that talks about prostitution, albeit in a PG-rated way.

Sure, Wichita's Cowtown has the Dixie Lee Saloon Girls who sing and dance.

Dodge City's Boot Hill has a few calling cards, police dockets and photographs of bad girls gone wild, such as Squirrel Tooth Alice, who kept a pet prairie dog on a chain, and others who did time in jail, said Boot Hill's curator Karen Pankratz.

And a few years ago the Kansas History Museum in Topeka did a temporary exhibit called "Sinners and

“THE BUSINESSES THEY PUT DOWN THERE WERE FOR MEN ONLY,” said Bill Starr, owner of Starr Antiques, Wolf Hotel and the Ellinwood Underground. Starr shows visitors around underground Ellinwood.

Saints" that included a small exhibit of 19th century "working women."

Which leaves the Ellinwood bathhouse, where 19th-century men could buy the right to a bath — for 15 cents — which included a piece of lye soap, a half tub of water and a towel.

At the same time, the men could get their clothes washed.

And, while the clothes dried, the men could also purchase a soiled dove's time.

Starr walked to a bed within the underground bath-

house, leaned down and pushed it up and down to give a hint of the squeaky springs.

"Now these whole line of men in the buff are waiting for her service," he said. "You know what she's doing? She's sitting on the bed reading those cowboys bedtime stories for 25 cents.

"Now, if you all believe that, I have a bridge I can sell you."

And that is the ending to one of the quirkiest tours in Kansas.

BRIEFLY Clashes in Belgrade protest Mladic arrest

U.S. SOLDIERS HOLDS CANDLES TO MARK MEMORIAL DAY at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ headquarters in Kabul, Afghanistan, on Sunday. Some U.S. troops in Afghanistan have held a candlelit remembrance for those lost ahead of Memorial Day.

Memorial Day weighs heavy for U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan KABUL , A FGHANISTAN (AP) — Nearly a decade later, after more than 1,400 killed in combat, some U.S. troops paused for a moment Sunday to remember what brought America to Afghanistan and to honor the lives that continue to be lost.

Blackhawk helicopters churned through the night sky as a strong wind coming over Kabul’s surrounding mountains blew against the flickering candles that cast an orange glow on those gathered for the ceremony at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ headquarters.

Earlier in the day, those working there enjoyed one of their five days off a year from building police stations, dams and other projects in a nation torn by decades of war. Col. Thomas Magness, 47, of Los Angeles, California urged the more than 100 corps employees and U.S. troops gathered there to remember the meaning of Memorial Day — advice that could carry home to America.

“While we were playing volleyball today, no doubt some soldier gave the ultimate sacrifice,” the corps commander said.

Memorial Day, instituted to honor America’s war dead, will be observed today with a public holiday. This Memorial Day comes before the 10year anniversary of the Sept.

11 terror attacks, which ultimately brought U.S. troops into Afghanistan to unseat the Taliban government and hunt terrorist leader Osama bin Laden.

“Our country got attacked, and we’re here to fight the war on it,” said Roger Nowicki of the corps.

While Navy SEALs shot and killed bin Laden earlier this month in neighboring Pakistan, the U.S.-led war here continues. President B a ra c k O ba m a p l a n s to d raw d ow n U. S . t ro o p s beginning in July, while NATO has committed to handing over control of security in the country to Afghans by 2014.

In the meantime, the war grinds on toward its 10th year.

The sharp pangs of loss are visible on some attending the event, like Maj. Erica Iverson, 33, of Vermillion, S.D. She spoke of serving as a casualty assistance officer after the 2010 death of Staff Sgt. Adam Dickmyer of Winston-Salem, N.C., who once served as a

sentinel at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington Cemetery.

Iverson’s voice choked as she recounted how Dickmyer’s mother fell off her chair in grief when her son’s body returned to the U.S. His widow chased after the casket, screaming: “Don’t leave me!”

“His wife has an empty house,” Iverson said. “His entire unit came home today, and he didn’t come with them.”

Iverson said speechwriters for Obama called her in recent days, saying the president may honor Dickmyer in remarks on Memorial Day. Increasingly skeptical American and Afghan publics question why U.S. and NATO forces remain there. The Taliban recently begun its spring offensive, as suicide bombings, roadside explosions and attacks in remote posts have returned with a frightening regularity.

“You don’t get used to it because you’re in a war zone,” said civilian corps worker George S. Triggs, 54, of Louisville, Ky. “You learn to tolerate it and do the best you can.”

Obama visits Joplin, makes vow to help get city ‘back on its feet’

By Erica Werner

BELGRADE, SERBIA (AP) — Protesters throwing stones and bottles clashed with baton-wielding riot police Sunday in Belgrade after several thousand Serbian nationalist supporters of jailed warcrimes suspect Ratko Mladic rallied outside the parliament building to demand his release.

By the time the crowds broke up by late evening, about 100 people were arrested and 16 minor injuries were reported. That amounted to a victory for the pro-Western government, which arrested Mladic on Thursday, risking the wrath of the nationalist old guard in a country with a history of much larger and more virulent protests.

Rioters overturned garbage containers, broke traffic lights and set off firecrackers as they rampaged through downtown.

Cordons of riot police blocked their advances, and skirmishes took place in several locations in the center of the capital.

Doctors said six police officers were among the 16 people brought to a hospital with minor injuries. Police remained on the streets as the crowds broke up.

The clashes began after a rally that drew at least 7,000 demonstrators, many singing nationalist songs and carrying banners honoring Mladic, the former Bosnian Serb military commander. Some chanted right-wing slogans and a few gave Nazi salutes.

Attack highlights rise in cyber espionage NEW YORK (AP) — This cyber attack didn’t go after people playing war games on their PlayStations. It targeted a company that helps the U.S. military do the real thing.

Lockheed Martin says it was the recent target of a “significant and tenacious” hack, although the defense contractor and the Department of Homeland Security insist the attack was thwarted before any critical data was stolen.

The effort highlighted the fact that some hackers, including

many working for foreign governments, set their sights on information far more devastating than credit card numbers.

Information security experts say a rash of cyber attacks this year — including a massive security breach at Sony Corp. last month that affected millions of PlayStation users — has emboldened hackers and made them more willing to pursue sensitive information.

“2011 has really lit up the boards in terms of data breaches,” said Josh Shaul, chief technology officer at Application Security, a New York-based company that is one of the largest database security software makers. “The list of targets just grows and grows.”

Tornado-stricken town bans FEMA trailers CORDOVA, ALA. (AP) — James Ruston’s house was knocked off its foundation by tornadoes that barreled through town last month and is still uninhabitable. He thought help had finally arrived when a truck pulled up to his property with a mobile home from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Then he got the call: Singlewide mobile homes, like the

FEMA one, are illegal in the city of Cordova.

The city’s refusal to let homeless residents occupy temporary housing provided

by FEMA has sparked outrage in this central Alabama town of 2,000, with angry citizens filling a meeting last week and circulating petitions to remove the man many blame for the decision, Mayor Jack Scott.

Ruston and many others view the city’s decision as heartless, a sign that leaders don’t care that some people are barely surviving in the rubble of a blue-collar town.

“People have to live somewhere. What’s it matter if it’s in a trailer?” asked Felicia Boston, standing on the debris-strewn lot where a friend has lived in a tent since a tornado destroyed his home on April 27.

Scott has heard all the complaints, and he isn’t apologizing. He said he doesn’t want run-down mobile homes parked all over town years from now.

“I don’t feel guilty,” he said.

“I can look anyone in the eye.”

Located about 35 miles northwest of Birmingham, Cordova was hit by a pair of powerful tornadoes on April 27, the day twisters killed more than 300 people across the Southeast.

PEACE, LOVE, AND COLOR...

Associated Press Writer

JOPLIN, MO. — Face to face with the legions of homeless and the bereaved, President Barack Obama on Sunday toured the apocalyptic landscape left by Missouri’s killer tornado, consoled the community and committed the government to helping rebuild shattered lives.

“We’re not going to stop ‘til Joplin’s back on its feet,” Obama vowed. A memorial service where Obama spoke punctuated a day of remembrance one week after the disaster, as authorities pressed on with the task of identifying the victims and volunteers combed through wreckage of neighborhoods where nothing was left whole.

The service erupted in cheers when Obama said, “I promise you your country will be there with you every single step of the way,” a pledge he extended to all parts of the nation raked by violent storms this season.

The Joplin tornado was the worst to hit the United States in decades, leaving more than 130 dead and hundreds more injured. Thirty-nine people remain unaccounted for.

There are four more people whom family members have reported as deceased, but those deaths haven’t been officially confirmed.

Air Force One flew over a massive swath of brown — a land of flattened houses and stripped trees — on its approach to Joplin. On the ground, the destruction was even more stark and complete. Obama confronted painful sights at every turn

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA, SECOND FROM LEFT, with residents views damage from the tornado that devastated Joplin, Mo., on Sunday. and said nothing in his life measured up to what he saw this day.

Yet he spoke, too, of redemptive moments, the stoicism of the community and tales of plain luck. He told a story of a man he talked to who had taken a chicken pot pie out of the oven, heard the storm was coming, hid in a closet and “came out without a scratch.” Obama celebrated the spirit of volunteers who have flocked to Joplin to help, the pickup truck owners who ferried people to the hospital and the citizens who lined up for hours to donate blood to people they don’t know.

“You’ve demonstrated a simple truth,” he told the service, “that amid heartbreak and tragedy no one is a stranger. Everybody is a brother. Everybody is a sister.

We can all love one another.”

The crowd of hundreds at the service reflected a community in the midst of rebuilding: people in shorts and baseball caps, and plenty of babies who occasionally burst out crying. The president talked over the screeching until a baby was hurried out by its mother.

Obama got a notably warm reception in this conservative part of Missouri. His remarks were tailored for a religious service, with quotes from Scripture, references to the love that binds people to each other, and comments on the essential goodness of humanity. The stories of the storm lead us to “put aside our petty grievances,” the president said. “There are heroes all around us, all the time. So, in the wake of this tragedy, let us live up to their example: to make each day count.”

“It’s an amazing feeling,” said Steele, who plans to take a year off from school before pursuing a nursing program through Johnson County Community College or Kansas

Sarah Stuever graduated with a National Honor Society stole around her neck, indicating Steele her ongoing leadership, GPA of at least 3.5 and at least 40 hours of community service this past year. Her gold cord also showed that she finished in the top 10 percent of

her class academically.

Not that it was easy.

“It’s kind of hard to not want to stop studying — just staying interested till the very end,” Stuever said Stuever, who plans to study psychology at KU. “I’m ready to end this chapter and start another one.”

Honored service Memorial Day is a time to reflect on the sacrifice of those who fought and gave their lives on behalf of their country.

H

undreds of Lawrence and Douglas County residents have spilled their blood in service to our nation.

Today — Memorial Day — we honor those killed in wartime.

More than 400 Douglas County soldiers and civilians have died in battle since the Civil War. Their names can be found at LJWorld.com/memorial-day/2011/names.

The list was compiled in the book “Rise up in Honor” by the Douglas County Memorial of Honor. The list of those killed from the Civil War through Vietnam, is sobering. (A complete list including the war on terrorism is not available.)

The victims list of Quantrill’s Raid, Aug. 21, 1863, numbers 161 killed, including recruits from the 14th Kansas Cavalry. That’s nearly double the number of Douglas County residents killed in action during the Civil War, 88.

World War II claimed the lives of 123 Douglas County residents; World War I, 19; Vietnam, 18; Korea, 10; and the Spanish American War, 3.

One doesn’t have to go to Washington, D.C., to visit a war memorial. Our community has many public memorials to honor our veterans.

Lawrence and Douglas County are home to at least a dozen war memorials, from Kansas University’s Memorial Stadium and Memorial Union, both dedicated to World War I veterans, to Oak Hill Cemetery in east Lawrence, which includes a salute to Union soldiers as well as a memorial to the victims of Quantrill’s Raid.

“From the Ashes,” a bronze sculpture by Jim Brothers outside the Lawrence Visitors Center, honors all soldiers, sailors, police officers and firefighters who died in the line of duty.

The complete list of the memorials was published in Friday’s Journal-World and on LJWorld.com, which includes an interactive map of all the memorial sites in Douglas County.

We should all make time this weekend to pay our respects and visit one of the many memorials in town, and say a word of thanks to all those who served.

Revenge could derail Mideast progress W A S H I N G T O N — “Revenge, at first though sweet, Bitter ere long, back on itself recoils.” The wisdom of that couplet from John Milton’s “Paradise Lost” extends in many directions. But let’s consider the context of the Arab Spring and its transition from dictatorship to democracy.

Revolutions can go off the rails for many reasons. But history shows that one of the most dangerous (if also understandable) mistakes is the desire to settle scores with the deposed regime.

That toxic whiff of revenge has been in the air lately in Egypt, and it poses a danger for the Tahrir Revolution and the other movements that emulate it.

The New York Times reported last week that Egypt’s transitional military council intends to try deposed President Hosni Mubarak for conspiring to kill unarmed protesters. Conviction could mean the death penalty. The new regime also plans to prosecute Mubarak and his two sons, along with a wave of business cronies, on charges of corruption.

This prosecutorial zeal has frightened conservative Arab regimes such as Saudi Arabia, which has warned that it won’t provide economic assistance to Egypt if Mubarak is humiliated. But the greater danger is that Egyptian and international investors will steer clear of the country if they think doing business there might expose them to legal risks.

Sen. John Kerry had it right when he told a gathering of the Woodrow Wilson Center’s

David Ignatius davidignatius@washpost.com

an example of how “theForblood feuds of the

past can poison the present, one need look no further than the IsraeliPalestinian dispute. Both sides are so embedded in their narratives that they can’t write the common document of a peace treaty.”

trustees last week that a vengeful legal assault on Mubarak would be an “enormous mistake.” The biggest cost, Kerry said, is that it would undermine the economic strategy of innovation, investment and entrepreneurship that was the overlooked centerpiece of President Obama’s big speech on the Middle East.

What’s needed in Egypt and the other Arab countries that have suffered from dictatorship is a sense that the rule of law will prevail, with safeguards against vindictive prosecution. This protective legal framework is as important as

democracy itself, which as Alexander Hamilton and other American founders warned over 200 years ago can be bent to become the tyrannical will of the mob.

On my visits to Egypt since the Tahrir Revolution, I have been struck by the growing polarization between Christians and Muslims and the vindictiveness against Mubarak’s family and friends. It’s nice to see Egyptians lining up at newspaper kiosks (to buy real newspapers, as opposed to canned official lies), but my Cairo friends say too many headlines carry the implicit message, “Off with their heads!”

There’s a difference between accountability for the crimes of the past, which is healthy, and a spirit of vengeance, which is not.

South Africa sought that balance with its Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which denounced apartheid but also tried to reassure whites that they had a future in a multiracial democracy.

Rwanda has struggled to craft a similar process that reconciles Hutus who perpetrated the 1994 genocide with the Tutsi victims (who now run the country).

Neither the South African nor the Rwandan efforts have been entirely successful. But both established a legal process of justice that had reconciliation as its explicit goal, which checked the impulse for vengeance.

Failure to develop such a framework can have disastrous consequences. The French Revolution of 1789 was inflamed by the Committee of Public Safety and

its practice of national purification by guillotine; the Iranian revolution of 1979 was manipulated by zealots who, from the f irst months, began purging those they judged insufficiently devoted to Ayatollah Khomeini.

Finding a post-revolutionary path to reconciliation is especially important in the Middle East, whose nations are mosaics of different religions, tribes and clans.

Unless an inclusive spirit of “truth and reconciliation” can be nurtured, these countries will fracture into pre-modern loyalties, as happened in post-Saddam Iraq.

This transition process is especially volatile in Syria, where a blood feud between the ruling Alawite minority and the Sunni majority has been building since the 1970s. Exacerbating this religious fracture is the regional tension between Shiite Iran and Sunni Saudi Arabia.

For an example of how the blood feuds of the past can poison the present, one need look no further than the Israeli-Palestinian dispute. Both sides are so embedded in their narratives that they can’t write the common document of a peace treaty. They could use a little truth and reconciliation, too.

As the Arab Spring rolls forward, the new revolutionaries must build pathways to a stable and tolerant future, even as they take proper account of the past.

Otherwise, as the movie title had it, “there will be blood.”

KABUL, AFGHANISTAN — The talk of talks with the Taliban has taken on new momentum in the wake of the death of Osama bin Laden.

Even as the Taliban was mounting its spring offensive, Afghan officials told me of recent meetings in Qatar and Germany between U.S. officials and a Taliban official named Tayyeb Agha, who may — or may not — be an emissary of Mullah Omar.

And therein lies the rub.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has called for a diplomatic surge that will build on military gains produced by the U.S. troop surge. The hope is that Mullah Omar and his Quetta shura (core Taliban leaders) might be sobered by the U.S. ability to hit bin Laden and to break up their networks, and thus be willing to reconcile.

Yet conversations with U.S. and Afghan officials and members of the former Taliban government make clear that, even today, no one is certain who can speak for Omar. Nor do they know what he wants. (Despite recent rumors of his death, he is believed to still be alive, and hiding in Pakistan.)

So any talk of talks to hasten the end of the conflict and speed the U.S. troop exit is still very premature.

“We encourage the United States to hold these meetings to find out if there is something serious,” I was told by President Hamid Karzai’s national security adviser, Rangin Dadfar Spanta, at the heavily guarded presidential palace.

“We have had serious contacts with Taliban,” he went on, “but the question is, are they in

conflict and speed the U.S. troop exit is still very premature.”

charge, are they representative of the Quetta shura? They have to prove it. We don’t want a second episode like the grocer.” Spanta was referring to a Taliban mullah who was brought to meet Karzai last year, after being paid a hefty sum of money: He turned out to be an impostor, who was actually a shopkeeper.

Spanta added that “the United States itself is not sure” about the bona fides of Agha, a man in his mid-30s with a thin beard, who used to head Omar’s international relations committee. “Is he really Tayyeb Agha? Is he still the representative of Mullah Omar?

We have to prove it.”

And that is only the beginning of the hurdles that confront an effort to get the Taliban to talks.

Mohamed Masoom Stanekzai, the professorial secretary of the Afghan High Peace Council, says it is essential that “the Taliban should have an office,” with a representative who could speak for its leaders. In other words, the

Taliban should set up a political front group like a Sinn Fein.

Stanekzai says such an office should be located outside of Pakistan, where the Quetta shura is based, so Taliban reps could operate free from control by Pakistan’s ISI intelligence agency.

Many Afghans are convinced the ISI would block any talks that it could not direct.

But all this begs the question of whether the Taliban is really interested in talks or has clear negotiating positions, beyond its demand that foreign troops leave Afghanistan.

Stanekzai, whose council has had contacts with the Taliban, says most of Omar’s inner circle “are on the side of the peace process.” He says they are afraid to discuss this publicly, however, lest they be branded as traitors by their rank and file.

However, other Afghans familiar with the Taliban say its leadership thinks it is winning the Afghan war, and has little interest in negotiations.

“Mullah Omar wants an Islamic emirate and says, ‘We will never share power with anybody,’” says Waheed Mozhdah, a writer who worked in the Taliban government for five years. “They think they’ve defeated the United States, like they defeated the Soviet Union, and this is the start of another era.”

Mozhdah has argued with Taliban friends that Afghanistan has gained little from defeating the Soviets, and needs economic development more than another such victory. Whether the Taliban can be persuaded by such arguments is unknown.

U.S. and Afghan officials have

laid down clear red lines: For any talks to succeed, the Taliban must break with al-Qaida, accept the Afghan constitution, and play by democratic rules.

Would the Karzai government offer a power-sharing deal that guaranteed the Taliban control of certain provinces or ministries?

“Absolutely not,” said Spanta.

The Taliban could acquire major government posts, he said, but only as part of a democratic process. Many doubt Mullah Omar would ever agree.

So here we have it. We don’t know who speaks for the Taliban or what they want, or whether Mullah Omar could deliver a fragmented organization, even if he wanted to do so. We don’t know if a way can be found to bring Pakistan productively into the negotiating process.

Moreover, a majority of the Afghan population opposes any deal that might foster a Taliban regime redux. The Taliban are ethnic Pashtuns, but an opposition movement of non-Pashtuns is mobilizing. Any pact that heedlessly opened the way for a Taliban comeback could provoke civil war.

And yet, despite all of the above, there are good reasons to keep exploring talks, so long as it is done without illusions. Perhaps the Quetta shura is tiring.

Perhaps the movement is splitting. We need to find out.

So proceeding with caution is warranted, with no illusions that talks are imminent or a panacea.

As a first step some detective work is urgently needed: Find out if Tayyeb Agha is for real.

Sunflower crop brings high prices TOPEKA (AP) — Kansas sunflower farmers are having a good year thanks to delayed planting and tight stocks, which have pushed sunflower prices to double what they were a year ago.

John Sandbakken, marketing director for the National Sunflower Association based in Mandan, N.D., told The Topeka Capital-Journal that new sunflower crop prices in Kansas will hit the $30 to $35 per hundredweight mark. That compares to a $15 per hundredweight price last year.

Other areas of the nation may see prices climb to as high as $40 per hundredweight.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates Kansas farmers will plant 132,000 acres of sunflowers this season, about a 5 percent decline from last season Sandbakken said there’s an increased demand for sunflower oil and bird feed, creating intense competition for the product.

Future bright for LCC In women’s golf, the dreamers of today in some cases become the stars of tomorrow.

They play on the LPGA Futures Tour, driving their fuel-efficient cars from one stop to the next, gradually working their way from the South to the Midwest to the East.

They pay a $500 entry fee per tournament, live in the homes of local golfing families at each stop along the way and play for prize money and for the love of the game.

A long break in a Futures Tour schedule that resumes next weekend in Marion, Iowa, made it possible for Lawrence Country Club teaching pro Kristen Samp, a former Future Tours player, to organize a second-annual event that featured 13 serious sticks competing for prize money put up by local sponsors.

The golfers left raving about the character of the course.

Lisa Ferrero, 28, grew up on a vineyard in Lodi, Calif., won the American Junior Golf Association Amateur championship at age 17, played her college golf at University of Texas and once made the cut at the LPGA U.S. Open. She knows a golf course from a cow pasture.

“I love this area,” Ferrero said. “The courses are similar to where I grew up. Lots of trees, thick rough, deep bunkers, fast greens and hills. Every course I play at home, it’s not flat, it has a lot of character to it, and a lot of places don’t have that. So it’s kind of nice to play a different course where you have to work the ball. Now you have so many places that are flat and straight, like Florida golf courses.”

By shooting 76-74—150, Ferrero earned an $800 secondplace check. Selanee Henderson, a 2008 Cal-Irvine graduate, earned $1,250 and won by shooting 71-75—146 in the twoday event known as the Your Charity Lady Pro-Am. Ferrero’s and Samp’s teams tied for first in the pro-am competition, and The Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center and a Joplin, Mo., tornado-relief fund each received $250 checks as designated by the winning teams.

Ferrero was happy to hear that the Big 12 women’s championship will be played at LCC in 2012.

“It’s tough,” she said of the course. “It can play really tough.

I think of the Big 12 championship when we played at Colbert Hills (in Manhattan). It was tough, the wind and everything.

You want that. You want a championship course when you play for a championship.”

Ferrero, who earned a $15,400 check by winning the Symetra Classic in San Antonio on the final weekend in April, said she always makes it back for the well attended annual UT women’s golf reunion. She’ll share her views with the coach on the most prudent way to attack LCC next spring.

“Really focus on being pinhigh,” she said. “Make sure you get your distances correct because if you’re past or way short you can be in trouble. Dial in on your irons, your distances.

Just be quietly aggressive on the greens.”

All the pros commented how difficult it was to hit good shots out of the rough.

“If the rough’s like it was with some of those lies out there, they’re going to have fun,” Ferrero said. “It’s not a course where you’re going to shoot 65, 66. Just like the U.S. Open, the Big 12 championship should play hard.”

It will.

Aldrich returns to KU

By Gary Bedore

gbedore@ljworld.com

Oklahoma City Thunder rookie Cole Aldrich, whose NBA season ended Wednesday, packed up his belongings, hopped in his car and hit the highway Thursday afternoon.

His destination?

“I’m on my way to Lawrence right now. I’m going to be in Lawrence most of the summer,” former Kansas University center Aldrich revealed in a cell-phone interview.

Aldrich is making good on a vow he made to himself and his parents after electing to leave KU after his junior year — not to rest until he earns his college degree in communication studies.

“I want to say I’m — Cole Aldrich 15 or 18 hours short, about a semester’s work,” Aldrich said. “It’s not going to be terribly hard. It’s just going to take some time. I’m chipping away at my degree.”

The 6-foot-11 , 245-pound native of Bloomington, Minn., who played in 18 games his rookie season after being selected No. 11 overall in the 2010 Draft, is fired up about spending more quality time in his college town.

“Oh, I do, I do,” Aldrich said of loving KU. “Being from Minnesota, I’ve been in the Midwest all my life. Coming to KU ... everybody taking me under their arms and supporting me throughout my career means a lot.”

Lawrence natives will be sure to see Aldrich out and about, perhaps well into next fall and winter if there’s a lockout that will delay the start of the 2011-12 season.

“You might see me throw a strike or two down the lanes,” bowling fan Aldrich said of Royal Crest Lanes. “I know the gym will see me for sure.

Napoli beats tag, Rangers slide past K.C.

Sharon Ellman/AP Photo

KANSAS CITY CATCHER BRAYAN PENA, FRONT, and Texas’ Mike Napoli collide at home plate in the bottom of the ninth inning.

Napoli scored on the play to give the Rangers a 7-6 victory Sunday in Arlington, Texas.

ARLINGTON, TEXAS (AP) — Brayan Pena didn’t want to talk about another homer in Texas. The Kansas City Royals’ catcher had the game’s final play still fresh in his mind.

Mike Napoli slid under Pena’s tag for the winning run to cap the Rangers’ 7-6 come-from-behind victory over the Royals on Sunday.

Pena continued to thrive at the plate in Texas with a three-run homer in a five-run fourth. All three of his home runs this season have been three-run drives, all on the road against the Rangers.

But, as Pena would later say, “It doesn’t mean much right now.”

Nelson Cruz led off the ninth with a tying home run off closer

Joakim Soria (3-2), who had his fourth blown save in 11 chances.

Napoli, who homered in the fifth and went 3-for-4, followed with a single. Two outs later, Elvis Andrus singled to right.

Napoli steamed around second, and third base coach Dave Anderson waved Napoli home.

Although first baseman Eric Hosmer’s relay throw to the plate was in plenty of time, it was high and Napoli was clearly safe.

Pena backed away from the plate on the throw, then slammed the ball down after Napoli was called safe. Later, he admitted he should have done a better job on the play.

Watson wins Senior PGA in playoff LOUISVILLE, KY. (AP) — Tom Watson had stood over putts like this pressure-packed three-footer at the Senior PGA Championship for most of his adult life.

Why dawdle?

“I didn’t take much time with the putt,” he said with that famous toothy grin. “I took one practice stroke and figured, ‘Let’s get this over with.”’

Watson summoned up some of his old major magic, holing the short birdie putt on the first playoff hole to beat David Eger on Sunday.

The 61-year-old Watson, down a shot with four holes left in regulation, became the oldest player to win a major since the senior tour was created in 1980. He also became the second-oldest winner

of the Senior PGA, behind only Jock Hutchison, who was 62 in 1947.

“If this is the last tournament I ever win, it’s not a bad one,” Watson said. “I’m kind of on borrowed time out here at 61.”

Watson became the third-oldest winner of a Champions Tour event. The victory came 10 years, 2 days after he won his other Senior PGA Championship at

Ridgewood Country Club in 2001.

Watson may be well past his prime, but there have been very few players in history as good at sealing the deal with the outcome teetering on the brink.

Few realize that more than Eger, who worked closely with Watson and the other giants of the game in the 1980s and 1990s as a rules official.

MIAMI — Erick Dampier remembers how frustrating the 2006 NBA Finals were for the Dallas Mavericks.

It wasn’t just losing four straight that drove the Mavericks (and ref-baiting owner Mark Cuban) to the brink of insanity.

It was the way Dwyane Wade lived on the foul line in those final four games.

Hard fouls. Touch fouls. Blocking fouls.

Continuations.

If every whistle didn’t favor Wade, it sure seemed that way.

Conspiracy theorists lit up the Internet almost as rapidly as young Flash made the scoreboard spin.

“That was a big series for him,” Dampier, now a Heat backup center, says of his tormentor-turned-teammate. “He did whatever it took for them to win. Hopefully he does the same thing this year and we’re able to get that championship.”

The Hollywood Heat (to borrow Joakim Noah’s phrase) would gladly take a repeat performance after watching Wade shoot 58-for-73 (.794) from the line in the final four games of the ’06 Finals.

Take out Game 4, when Wade shot just nine free throws, and the Heat slasher nearly matched the Mavs in attempts (7464) in Games 3, 5 and 6.

And here’s some more bad news for Cuban and Co. in advance of Tuesday’s opener: It’s not just Wade this time.

With LeBron James and Wade now swapping forays through the lane, the Heat has been nearly as dominant at the foul line (both directions) in this postseason.

“We’re an aggressive team,” Wade said Sunday. “We are a team that attacks and puts pressure on the defense and makes them make decisions. A lot of times we have great finishers going to the basket.”

Through three rounds and 15 games, the Heat have made 349 free throws. That’s 46 more than their opponents have attempted.

“That’s the DNA of our team,” Wade said, “and that results in free throws, obviously, at times.”

At times?

The Heat have outscored their playoff opponents by 121 points at the line (8.1 per game) while taking 133 more attempts.

The Heat have shot 80 percent compared with 75 percent for their foes.

“We know the rules,” James said. “We play the rules. We’re not a foul-prone team.”

Not only do Heat players not foul out, they rarely even get into serious foul trouble.

Just twice in the past two rounds — and five times throughout the playoffs — has a Heat player reached five fouls.

Noah (Game 4) and Elton Brand (Game 5) have fouled out, while nine more Heat opponents have drawn a fifth personal.

How do the Heat manage to play such “aggressive, physical” defense — to use coach Erik Spoelstra’s description — without fouling?

“You’ve got to keep your hands off people,” James said. “We play physical defense, but we try to keep our hands off bodies and just try to help one another.

When a guy is beat, we come across and we play by the rules.”

This ability/disparity takes on even greater meaning as the Heat prepare to defend Dirk Nowitzki, who isn’t just leading all playoff participants in free-throw attempts (140) but is making 93 percent of them.

Remember Nowitzki’s 48-point outburst against Oklahoma City in the opener of the Western Conference finals? Half of those points came on the foul line, where Nowitzki didn’t miss.

“You have to find a way to keep your hands off guys like Dirk and Jason Terry (89 percent) and their whole team,” James said. “They shoot the ball extremely well from the free-throw line.”

Of course, as the ’06 Mavericks can tell you, that only matters if you get there.

Which brings us back to Dampier. Certainly, now that he’s switched sides, the veteran center believes all those pro-Wade whistles were legitimate, right?

“I’m not going to answer that one,” Dampier said.

Some wounds are just too deep.

TEXAS A&M CELEBRATES after defeating Missouri, 10-9, in the Big 12 baseball tournament Sunday in Oklahoma City.

Texas A&M wins Big 12 baseball tournament OKLAHOMA CITY — Andrew Collazo hit a game-ending homer into the left-field bleachers with two outs in the 10th inning Sunday, lifting Texas A&M to a 10-9 victory over Missouri and its second straight Big 12 tournament title.

Collazo pumped his fist as he rounded the bases following his first home run of the season and was mobbed as he jumped onto home plate with the winning run.

Collazo’s throwing error had opened the door for Missouri to take a 9-8 lead in the ninth inning, but the Aggies (42-18) tied it on pinch hitter Gregg Alcazar’s chop single with two outs in the ninth before winning it in the 10th.

It’s the second straight year Texas A&M won the title with a game-winning homer in the 10th. Brodie Greene provided the theatrics with a two-run shot in last year’s championship game.

The loss denied Missouri (27-32) a shot at making the NCAA Tournament field despite a losing record. The Tigers rebounded from a 18 start in league play to earn the last spot in the Big 12 tournament, then nearly became the first No. 8 seed to win it all.

Mizzou squandered an early 6-0 advantage before rallying for two runs to take a 9-8 lead.

Collazo threw wildly into right field on a potential double-play grounder to third, and Blake Brown followed with a run-scoring groundout to tie it at 8. Jesse Santo’s linedrive single to center provided the go-ahead run, but the Tigers couldn’t close it out.

Scott Arthur pinch-ran for Jacob House with two outs in the ninth and stole second before coming around to score on Alcazar’s highbouncing base hit to left field.

Collazo then made up for his bad throw with a rare home run.

It ended a storybook run for Missouri, which beat top-seeded Texas twice to get to the title game — getting seven shutout innings from Kelly Fick in his first start since last year’s Big 12 tournament to advance Saturday night.

TENNIS Djokovic, Federer showdown nears PARIS — His 43rd consecutive victory complete, Novak Djokovic ripped off his white baseball cap, pivoted to look up at his parents, coach and other supporters in the stands, then let out a yell.

It was the sort of visceral reaction one might expect at the conclusion of a taut, tense contest, not the rather routine 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 result the second-seeded Djokovic assembled Sunday at the expense of No. 13 Richard Gasquet in the fourth round of the French Open.

“I didn’t expect it to be easy, that’s for sure,” said Serbia’s Djokovic, who briefly addressed the crowd in French, drawing laughter and cheers. “Maybe the scoreline says differently, but I really ... had to work.”

Roger Federer moved a step closer to a semifinal showdown against Djokovic by overwhelming No. 14 Stanislas Wawrinka, 6-3, 6-2, 7-5, reaching the quarterfinals at a record 28th Grand Slam tournament in a row.

GOLF Donald wins duel for No. 1 VIRGINIA WATER, ENGLAND — Luke Donald won a duel for No. 1 with a playoff victory over fellow Englishman Lee Westwood in the BMW PGA Championship.

Donald, second behind Westwood entering the tournament, birdied the par-5 18th in the playoff, hitting his approach within five feet

before Westwood’s wedge shot spun off the green and into the water hazard.

Donald closed with a 1-under 70 to match Westwood (68) at 6-under 278 on Wentworth’s West Course.

Donald joined Westwood and Nick Faldo as the only Englishmen to hold the No. 1 spot since the ranking was introduced in 1986. The victory was Donald’s second in stroke play in five years. He won the European Tour’s Madrid Masters last year. In February, he won the World Golf Championships-Match Play Championship in Arizona.

Bradley tops Palmer in playoff IRVING, TEXAS — Keegan Bradley won the Byron Nelson Championship for his first PGA Tour victory, parring the first hole of a playoff with Ryan Palmer.

Bradley, the nephew of LPGA Tour great Pat Bradley, sank a two-foot par putt at the 419yard 18th hole in the playoff. Palmer’s approach went into the water, and he made a bogey.

About an hour earlier, Bradley finished his closing round of 2-under 68 with a par at No. 18, dropping into a squat and hopping a few times in frustration when his 10-foot birdie chance slid by the hole.

Palmer (72) and Bradley finished at 3-under 277, the highest winning score on the PGA Tour this year. It was the fifth playoff in six weeks.

Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland shot a final-round 81 to finish with a 289.

Uribe wins Brazil Cup RIO DE JANEIRO — Colombia’s Mariajo Uribe won the LPGA Tour’s Brazil Cup, closing with a 6-under 66 in rainy conditions for a one-stroke victory over Lindsey Wright in the 36-hole exhibition tournament.

Uribe birdied five of the first seven holes on the Itanhanga Golf Club course and had two more birdies and a bogey on the back nine before closing with four straight pars.

MLB Giants’ Posey out for season MILWAUKEE — San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey is out for the season after having surgery Sunday to repair three torn ligaments in his ankle sustained in a collision at home plate last week.

“He’s not going to be back this season,” head athletic trainer Dave Groeschner said in a conference call with reporters. “He will have another surgery somewhere in the 8- to 10week mark to take out some of that hardware that the doctors put in. That’s already determined. ... Add that to rehab time, and I don’t see him making it back this season.”

CYCLING Contador wins Giro d’Italia title MILAN — Alberto Contador secured his second Giro d’Italia title Sunday, beating his closest rival by more than six minutes after finishing third in the final stage.

The Spaniard pounded his chest and celebrated with his traditional pistol-shot gesture as he finished the 16-mile individual time trial around Milan in 30 minutes, 49 seconds, trailing stage winner David Millar by 36 seconds.

“It is an amazing feeling to win the Giro here today, and it is a dream finale,” Contador said. “My team was really supportive throughout, and we didn’t really have a bad day.”

Morris, who worked out for the Utah Jazz on Sunday, was asked about the 2011 NBA Draft by the Salt Lake Tribune. “Anything can happen.

I’m hearing early lottery, late lottery, that area,” Morris said.

The lottery consists of the first 14 picks. ●

Title town: KU basketball players Jeff Withey and Jordan Juenemann’s Athletes in Action team beat Poland to win an international tournament Saturday in Macedonia.

Kansas State’s Will Spradling reported on Twitter he scored 16 in the title game and was named MVP. No other information on the title game has been made available.

when the collective-bargaining agreement ends. Right now it’s looking toward we are going to have a lockout, but if there is one, you never know how long it’s going to last.”

Aldrich is looking to expand his game after scoring 18 points, grabbing 35 rebounds and blocking 18 shots in the regular season. He wasn’t activated for the Thunder’s playoff series against Denver, Memphis and Dallas. He also averaged 10.3 points and 8.6 boards in 21 games for the Thunder’s Developmental League team in Tulsa.

He’s eager to play meaningful NBA minutes.

“I’m def initely ready,” Aldrich said. “It’s night and day,” he noted of his improvement since starting his pro career. “When I left Kansas, I thought I was a pretty good player. Once you get to the NBA, you quickly realize everybody is just as good as you if not better. You are playing against guys who have played in the league eight, 10, 12 years and really know the little things that you pick up on through the course of your rookie season.”

He’s sure to receive some additional pointers from his mentor — KU assistant coach /KU big-man coach Danny Manning, who had a long NBA career — in coming months.

“I’m just going to continue to work hard this summer, work offensively, but also just work on quickness and agility because those things really help guard the pick and roll and guarding those guys that are so good,” said Aldrich, who earned $2,126,520 last season with three years left on his first NBA deal.

He indicated he learned a lot watching former KU player Nick Collison of the Thunder in the playoffs. Collison, who stands an inch shorter and is 10 pounds heavier than Aldrich, excelled while guarding Memphis’ Zach Randolph in a seven-game, second-round playoff series

blocked, but I guess not,” Pena said. “When I was ready to tag him, I thought he was closer to me. I feel terrible about it.

It was a mistake. It was perfect, a great relay. I thought I had him. But when I saw the replay, I could tell he was safe.”

Royals manager Ned Yost was a major league catcher, and Yost said Pena did not block the plate as well as he should have.

“Bryan was in perfect position behind the plate,” Yost said. “He stepped behind the plate and stood up and applied the tag in the chest.”

Pena’s gaffe wasn’t the only issue that concerned Yost.

The Royals have lost seven of eight and 12 of 15, and Soria hasn’t had a save since May 20.

Yost remains supportive of Soria, however.

“With Jak’s track record and ability, he’ll figure it out,” Yost said. “I’m not going to deny it’s a struggle right now.

Kevin Anderson/Journal-World File Photo

OKLAHOMA CITY’S COLE ALDRICH looks for a teammate in this photo from the Thunder’s exhibition on Oct. 8, 2010, at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo. and Dallas’ Dirk Nowitzki in the conference finals, which OKC lost, four games to one.

“Dirk is a Hall of Famer, it’s plain and simple,” Aldrich said. “He’s one of the only guys that can average 20 (points) and 10 (rebounds) in all the playoff games he’s ever played.

“He’s tough to guard because he’s 7-foot. He can shoot the three. He can go in the post. He can do so many things. I think Nick made it real tough on him to get shots up.

Even though he made some really tough shots, Nick did a heck of a job guarding him.

“The playoffs really set Nick into the public eye,” Aldrich added of Collison, who averaged 6.7 points and 5.8 boards while logging 24.3 minutes a game in 17 playoff games. “It (his performance) shows a guy that doesn’t average double figure points every game or anything like that can still really affect the game.”

Aldrich plans to spread his own knowledge of the game to area youths this summer. He will hold a basketball camp

He’s struggling with his command. Struggled with his fastball. I’ve been through this five or six times.

“The worst thing you can do in a situation like this is to start messing around with the bullpen. Jak will figure it out.

for boys and girls kindergarten through eighth grade June 27-30 at Olathe Northwest High. Aldrich will be assisted by former KU players Jeff Gueldner, Tyrel Reed and Mark Randall.

“The main thing is trying to give back to the community,” the 22-year-old Aldrich said.

“Mario (Chalmers) had a camp last year. I always felt once you get to the NBA, you realize all the people that really helped you get to where you are now. You want to give back, have the kids learn a little basketball and have fun with us. Everybody gets to interact with guys who played at KU or in the league or are currently in the league. It’s in the Kansas City area, not too far from Lawrence obviously and not terribly far from Topeka. I hope kids come out and really just have fun.”

You know why? Because he’s a good pitcher, an All-Star caliber guy,” Yost added. “That doesn’t happen by accident.

Guys go through streaks.”

Arthur Rhodes (3-2) retired one batter in the ninth for the win.

With the game tied at 5, Chris Getz led off the ninth against Neftali Feliz with a double. The ball eluded right fielder Cruz for an error, allowing Getz to take third, and Getz scored on Alcides Escobar’s sac fly to left for the lead.

The Royals carried a 5-3 lead into the eighth, but Michael Young’s two-out, two-run homer into the right field seats on Aaron Crow’s 30 pitch pulled the Rangers even.

Kansas City rookie Danny Duffy allowed three runs and five hits in six-plus innings in his third big-league start. The left-hander struck out four and exited after issuing his first walk of the day to Adrian Beltre leading off the seventh.

Young’s homer saved Texas’ Alexi Ogando from his first defeat as a starter— he is 5-0.

Mets enjoy offensive outburst The Associated Press

N E W Y O R K — Jose Reyes tripled twice for the third time this season, and a refreshed Josh Thole had three hits and three RBIs as the Mets enjoyed a rare offensive outburst in a victory over Philadelphia on Sunday.

Reyes had four of New York’s season-high 17 hits, and Jonathon Niese (4-5) didn’t allow an earned run against a makeshift Phillies lineup.

Daniel Murphy matched a career high with three hits.

NBA PLAYOFFS

DALLAS FORWARD DIRK NOWITZKI CRACKS A SMILE during Game 5 of the Western Conference finals against Oklahoma City in this photo from May 25 in Dallas.

Nowitzki has lifted the Mavericks into the NBA finals, where they’ll meet Miami starting Tuesday.

JR HILDEBRAND, LEFT, CRASHES INTO THE WALL on the final lap as driver Dan Wheldon, of England, takes the checkered flag to win the Indianapolis 500 on Sunday in Indianapolis.

Wheldon takes wild 500 I N D I A N A P O L I S ( AP ) — Dan Wheldon was zipping toward the final corner of Sunday’s Indianapolis 500, surely figuring the best he could do was another runner-up finish.

Then he came upon JR Hildebrand’s crumpled car, all smashed up and sliding along the wall.

The rookie had made the ultimate mistake with his very last turn of the wheel, and Wheldon, not Hildebrand, made an improbable turn into Victory Lane.

“It’s obviously unfortunate, but that’s Indianapolis,” said Wheldon, who won Indy in 2005 and finished second the last two years. “That’s why it’s the greatest spectacle in racing. You never now what’s going to happen.”

This might have been the whackiest one ever.

In his first event of the year, Wheldon captured the ultimate IndyCar prize. But the 100th anniversary of the “Greatest Spectacle in Racing” will be remembered more for the guy who let it slip away with the checkered flag in sight.

Leading by almost 4 seconds and needing to make it 1 around the 2 ⁄2-mile track just one more time, Hildebrand cruised through the f irst three turns with no problem.

The fourth one got him. He went too high, lost control and slammed into the outside wall. Wheldon sped past, while Hildebrand’s battered machine skidded across the line 2.1 seconds behind, still hugging the concrete barrier.

DAN WHELDON DOUSES HIMSELF WITH MILK after winning the Indianapolis 500.

“It’s a helpless feeling,” Hildebrand said.

The 23-year-old Californian got into trouble when he came up on another rookie, Charlie Kimball, going much slower as they approached the last corner. Instead of backing off, the leader moved to the outside to make the pass — a decision that sent him slamming into the wall to a collective gasp from the crowd of 250,000.

“I caught him in the wrong piece of track,” Hildebrand said. “I got up in the marbles and that was it.”

While Wheldon celebrated his second Indy 500 win, series officials reviewed the video to see if Wheldon passed the wrecked machine before the caution lights went on. He clearly did, and Hildebrand’s team said it wouldn’t protest the result.

That gave the Brit another spot on the Borg-Warner Trophy.

Not bad, considering he doesn’t even have a full-time job.

“I just felt a lot of relief. It’s an incredible feeling,” Wheldon said. “I never gave up.”

He took the traditional swig of milk and headed off on a triumphant lap around the speedway — a lap that Hildebrand should have been taking.

Instead, the youngster stopped by the garage to get a look at his mangled car, which was hauled through Gasoline Alley instead of being wheeled into Victory Lane.

He’s now in the company of athletes such as Jean Van de Velde, who squandered a three-shot lead on the last hole of the 1999 British Open, and Lindsey Jacobellis, whose hotdogging wipeout at the 2006 Winter Olympics cost her a certain gold medal.

They had it in the bag — and threw it all away.

“I’m just frustrated. It’s not because we came in here with the expectation of winning and we didn’t,” Hildebrand said. “I felt like I just made a mistake and it cost our boys. I guess that’s why rookies don’t win the Indianapolis 500 a whole lot, and we’ll be back next year, I guess.”

After losing his ride from last season — with Hildebrand’s team, no less — Wheldon had plenty of time to hang out with his wife and two young children, while also dealing with the burden of his mother being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s.

He longed to get back behind the wheel, and when May rolled around he had a one-off deal with retired driver Bryan Herta’s fledgling team.

They came up with a winning combination, which may well lead to a bigger gig.

Junior runs dry; Harvick wins CONCORD , N.C. (AP) — Dale Earnhardt Jr. was out front on the final lap for the first time in 105 races, and the only thing standing in the way of a victory was the gas, or lack of it, in his tank.

The crowd roared as he took the white flag, the fans stomping in the stands in near hysteria over the almost certain ending of Earnhardt’s nearly three-year losing streak.

In a blink of an eye, it was over.

The gas tank in his Chevrolet ran dry along the backstretch at Charlotte Motor Speedway, and as Earnhardt tried to coast his way through the final turn, Kevin Harvick zipped past him to steal the Coca-Cola 600.

It was a heartbreaking end for the victory-starved JR Nation, and somewhat mimicked the final lap of the Indianapolis 500.

Earlier Sunday, rookie JR Hildebrand crashed coming out of the final turn to lose the Indianapolis 500. Both Earnhardt and Hildebrand are

sponsored by the National Guard, and the sudden turns in the two big races spoiled what would have been a celebratory Memorial Day for the military, which makes sponsorship of auto racing its top marketing tool.

“We almost won this race,” Earnhardt said. Broadcast from the garage on Charlotte’s 200-foot wide big screen, the crowd erupted in cheers for NASCAR’s most popular driver.

He settled for seventh, and his last win was at Michigan in 2008. It’s the second time this year he’s lost to Harvick, who has led just nine laps in his Sprint Cup Series-best three victories.

Harvick passed Earnhardt for the lead in the closing laps at Martinsville, and has taken no joy in beating him either time.

“I think everybody sitting up here would say we want the 88 to win and they’re so close to winning and both times they had a chance to win,” Harvick said. “We are going to do what we have to

do to win the races, and today it all just worked out strategy wise that we won the race.

“But I feel so stinking bad for him, and I know how bad he wants it. It’ll happen.”

Earnhardt was comfortably out front in the closing laps of NASCAR’s longest race of the year. Earnhardt knew stretching his gas to the finish was going to be tough, but crew chief Steve Letarte ordered him to go for broke.

It capped a frantic few minutes of strategy as nearly five hours of racing came down to fuel mileage and a final twolap sprint to the finish.

The crew chief begged Earnhardt to not worry about gas and chase down Greg Biffle and Kasey Kahne over the final 20 laps. But Letarte reversed course when Kahne closed in on Biffle, and Matt Kenseth, who was running fourth, stopped for gas.

Figuring Biffle and Kahne would run out racing each other for the win, he urged Earnhardt to sit tight and try

to exploit their misfortune. It might have worked, too, if Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jimmie Johnson’s engine didn’t fail four laps from the finish.

Biffle had to stop for gas under caution, and Kahne and Earnhardt lined up side-byside for the final restart.

Earnhardt, on the bottom, got a great jump as Kahne got hit from behind by Brad Keselowski. It caused cars to stack up in the middle of the pack, and debris was strewn everywhere. But the caution call from NASCAR never came.

Earnhardt got to the white flag just fine. But because the yellow never waved, he had to race and couldn’t make it to the finish.

Earnhardt ran out on the back straightaway and coasted through the final turn until Harvick passed him.

“The spotter was like, ‘Man, they’re coming! They’re coming!’ I was like, ‘I’m cruising.

What am I supposed to do, get out and pedal this thing with my feet?”’ Earnhardt said.

children are our future ...”

Take time to remember fallen veterans

Dear Annie: I’ve been married to “Joseph” for 40 years.

Joseph has always enjoyed building birdhouses, which he sells at flea markets or gives away. Since his retirement three years ago, he has been building them constantly. When he’s not lost in the basement building, he’s on Facebook or checking e-mail.

And when he’s not doing that, he’s watching TV or sleeping.

We don’t share e-mail accounts, and we don’t have the same taste in television programming, so we are rarely in the same room. We share nothing, and we seldom talk. We have two married children who live in different states, and we see them a few times a year. I feel like a widow.

I never would have done this in the past, but I’ve been so depressed lately, I decided to go. Annie, it was wonderful.

We talked, laughed and caught up on old times, and I truly felt like someone was interested in me.

When I got home, I told Joseph about my lunch date.

He became upset and jealous, which surprised me. He demanded that I never have lunch with this man again.

But, Annie, I’d like to see him again. I’m not looking for an affair, but it was just so nice to talk to someone. I think about that lunch all the time.

Joseph has become even more distant since then. Is it true that when one has a bad marriage, an affair is sure to

Can ’Platinum’ ’write’ ’Idol’ wrongs?

The best reality shows feature a concept so obvious you have to wonder why it hasn’t already been exploited. “Platinum Hit” (9 p.m., Bravo) is that kind of show.

Host Jewel and head judge Kara DioGuardi join a series of guest judges to assess the hit-making talents of 12 aspiring singersongwriters. While each worthy has to perform, the accent here is on writing popular, sellable songs.

The structure of “Platinum” is much closer to “Project Runway” than “American Idol.” As on that former Bravo series, the participants tend to be a tad older.We’re quickly introduced to the ensemble as they meet their hosts and find their quarters.

And in a tradition as old as “The Real World” itself, we discover that some are more self-absorbed and self-delusional than others and that almost every player adheres to some well-known type. One singer speaks of himself in the third person and warns us that genius cannot be rushed. Several admit that collaboration is not their strong suit. There’s a Stevie Wonder sound-alike, a channeler of Elton John and songwriter who claims he was conceived on the day Elvis died. There is a serious diva as well as a country girl who continually reminds us that she is a country girl.

Comparisons to “Runway” begin to fade when you remember that television is a visual medium. While that show allowed you to watch dressmaking in progress, there are few exciting ways to dramatize the song-writing process. So instead they put the emphasis on collaboration and conflict.

For years, shows like “Idol” have allowed viewers to play producer and find the next singer/interpreter. I’ve long felt that “Idol” languished in the kind of musical lull in rock ’n’ roll that existed between the death of Buddy Holly in 1959 and the arrival of the Beatles in 1964. It was a time when the innovative took a backseat to a star-making machinery that was content to churn out the next Frankie Avalon or Fabian, pretty faces content to make hits from other people’s songs. The advent of singer songwriters like Lennon and McCartney, Bob Dylan, Stevie Wonder, Elton John, etc., changed the face of the popular music business.

I’m not saying “Platinum Hit” will change the world, but anything that shakes up reality television is not a bad thing. ● Produced by Tony and Ridley Scott, the two-hour documentary “Gettysburg” (8 p.m., History) recalls key turning points in the 1863 battle. The film emphasized computer graphics, expert overviews from scholars and graphically violent reenactments. At times it wants to answer the curious question: “What if Ken Burns made a splatter movie?”

Tonight’s other highlights ● A bloody religious re-enactment on a two-hour “House” (7 p.m., Fox). ● Three girlfriends share secrets in the 2011 TV movie “Single Ladies” (8 p.m., VH1). ● “Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition” (9 p.m., ABC). New, but hardly original. ● The 2009 documentary “Hallowed Grounds” (9 p.m., PBS, check local listings) visits cemeteries in eight countries where more than 125,000 American combat dead found their final resting place.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Monday, May 30: This year, rethink decisions and premises on which you've based your life. Don't fear expressing yourself from a new point of view or values system. If you are single, the person you choose today could be different from the one you choose next week or in a few months. If you are attached, keep your sweetie tuned in to your changing mental portfolio. Taurus understands perhaps too much!

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You'll Have: 5Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) ★★★ A loved one might be deep into a discussion with another person. Use your feelings to recognize just how much you care.

Tonight: Remain sensitive to those around you.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ★★★★★ Many observers will note how many people seem to be taken by you in some form.

Some might be intellectually drawn to you, while others experience the magic of your charisma.

Tonight: Your authenticity makes you so lovable.

want and desire. Though having strong desires is excellent, as it gives you drive. Tonight: Keep your head down. You can do it even while flipping burgers.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ★★★★★ Many of your most treasured friends and loved ones will surround you, if you planned well. If not, it isn't too late to pick up the phone and extend an invitation for tonight or next weekend. Tonight: Living for the moment.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★★ Accept that others really do depend on you, far more than you realize. Put on your chef's hat and become the head cook. Tonight: Taking time for a special friend.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★★ If you don't want to be somewhere, don't go. Your mind will tend to drift when you are not personally involved.

Tonight: Dream away.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ★★★★ Your relationship with a particular person dominates your thoughts, actions and most likely your plans.

Tonight: Stay with this person in thought, at least.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★★★ Read Libra for a hint. Recognize that you might need to hop on a plane in the near future. At

least make a phone call to someone at a distance.

Tonight: Put on a favorite piece of music.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21) ★★★ Take a hint from Leo; you are in a very similar position. Today you are in the business of helping others enjoy their Memorial Day. Tonight: Try to make it early if you're tired.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★★★ Whether it is eyeing the pie or the girl or guy, you seem to attach far more possibilities than might exist. Tonight: Let your inner child emerge.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★★ Basics count, and you could find that you are dealing with a situation you would prefer not to.

The obvious fact is you have no choice. Tonight: Catch up with friends.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★★★ Sometimes your expectations become too rigid, or too much like your mental pictures.

Inevitably, disappointment follows. Tonight: The chatter could go to the wee hours.

— The astrological forecast should be read for entertainment only.
