Timing may allow farmers to bring in second crop this year “

By Meagan Thomas

We’ve never had this early of (a harvest).”

mthomas@ljworld.com

To the average person, the mild winter didn’t mean much beyond providing a break from some outdoor work, such as shoveling snow from driveways. And after a warm spring it’s finally time, according to the calendar, to put on extra sunscreen and spend the days lounging by the pool.

The wheat farmers in Douglas County, however,

— Carl Flory, who’s been cutting wheat for more than 50 years may be busier than ever this year. They’ve just completed the first day of harvest, a day that, because of the weather, has come three weeks early.

Carl Flory, a farmer southwest of Lawrence, has been working a combine since he was 13 years

old. Now 65, Flory says this year’s wheat crop is unique for him.

“We’ve never had this early of (a harvest),” Flory said.

To harvest the wheat, farmers first test the moisture content of the wheat stalk. If it is dry enough, a

combine will cut the wheat, separating the stalk and the grain. The farmer then loads the grain and takes it to an elevator, and after the whole crop is harvested, he waits to begin planting until the fall.

With the harvest coming three weeks early, Bill Wood, Douglas County Extension director, said it is likely the farmers will take an extra step Please see HARVEST, page 2A

New law bans e-cigarette use for kids under 18

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

A new Kansas law that takes effect July 1 will ban anyone under 18 from purchasing or possessing electronic cigarettes.

Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson said the Kansas Alcoholic Beverage Control had heard concerns from school resource officers about students who possessed the electronic cigarettes, or e-cigarettes, some of which were designed like pens and flash drives instead of cigarettes. Thompson said school districts could create their own policies prohibiting possession of the items on school property but that

“Obviously we can see that there is a harm, and we had heard about it,” Thompson said. “We are about trying to nip things in the bud.”

Doug Jorgensen, the ABC’s director, said the law prohibits anyone from selling e-cigarettes to anyone younger than 18, exactly how the current law regulates the sale of cigarettes.

Under the new law, vendors licensed to sell regular cigarettes wouldn’t have to make any changes to their current license, nor would they have to reapply. He said vendors who don’t sell to-

The law defines electronic cigarettes as a battery-powered device, whether it’s shaped like a cigarette or not, that can provide inhaled doses of nicotine by “delivering a vaporized solution” either by cartridges or other chemical delivery systems. The FDA has voiced concerns about the use, often called “vaping,” of e-cigarettes.

Local judge chosen to hear ethics case against Phill Kline TOPEKA (AP) — Two Kansas Court of Appeals judges and three district court judges, including one from Douglas County, have been appointed to hear a disciplinary case against former Attorney General Phill Kline.

The judges appointed Monday will sit with two state Supreme Court justices to review the case. The high court’s five other justices reMalone moved themselves last month, citing their previous knowledge of the allegations.

A complaint accuses Kline and former subordinates of misleading other officials to further investigations of abortion providers. Kline strongly disputes the allegations.

Supreme Court Justice Dan Biles, one of the two remaining to hear the case, named the replacements.

They are Court of Appeals Judges Karen Arnold-Burger and Henry W. Green Jr. and District Judges Edward Bouker of Ellis County, Bruce Gatterman, of Pawnee County, and Michael Malone, of Douglas County.

TOPEKA — An attorney representing 54 school districts on Monday said the Legislature must meet its constitutional obligation and increase school funding.

“So we don’t lose another generation of kids,” Alan Rupe said to a three-judge panel in the school finance trial that got under way.

Rupe said the state has cut $511 million from schools in recent years, undoing progress that was made during a previous boost of court-ordered school funding.

“The patient has flat-lined,” he said.

But the attorney representing the state said the Legislature has done a good job financing schools through a difficult eco-

City asked to name eastside park after longtime fire chief

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

It may not have a shiny brass pole or a loud siren, but an east Lawrence playground could become a favorite for fans of firefighters.

City officials have received a request to name the park at 19th Street and Haskell Avenue after longtime Lawrence fire chief Jim McSwain, who died in December 2008.

The park does not have a name, but is near the fire department’s main training area, which includes a burn tower near the edge of the park. The proximity has caused Parks and Recreation officials to previously think about using the park to recognize the fire service.

“Years ago, we informally had proposed naming it Fireman’s Park or something like that,” said McSwain Ernie Shaw, the city’s interim director of Parks and Recreation.

“But it never did take off.”

Recently McSwain’s widow, Rachel McSwain, sent a letter seeking to have the park named after her late husband. McSwain died about three years after retiring. He served as the city’s fire chief from 1978 to 2005, and he was credited with overseeing a major expansion of fire stations in the city and increased educa-

tional programs for firefighters.

Renaming the park will be a process, Shaw said.

The city’s Parks and Recreation Advisory Board is expected to receive a presentation from the McSwain family at a board meeting today. The board will make a recommendation to the Lawrence City Commission, which will decide whether the park should carry the McSwain name.

Shaw said most of the city’s parks that are named after people are named for individuals who have either donated the property to the city or had a longtime connection with Parks and Recreation programs or youth activities.

But there are some exceptions. Buford Watson

Jr. park is named after a former city manager; Robinson Park is named after Charles Robinson, the state’s first governor; John Taylor Park was named in 1962 through a neighborhood contest that chose to honor longtime neighborhood organizer John Taylor.

Shaw said he’s not sure why the park doesn’t have a name. He said several parks in the city do not have official names, although this one has been in that category for a long time and is at a visible intersection.

Attempts to reach Rachel McSwain on Monday weren’t successful.

Zoning would allow for possibility of psychiatric hospital near Bert Nash

By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

The Lawrence City Commission will consider a text amendment at tonight’s meeting that will set in motion the possibility for Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center to use 13 acres of land for a psychiatric hospital.

Last summer, Bert Nash signed a contract with Veterans of Foreign Wars Alford-Clarke Post 852 to purchase its property at 138 Ala., which includes a lake and cabin, for $825,000. Bert Nash has paid $2,500 in earnest money and is in the process of acquiring the property, which is expected to be complete by fall.

The property is north across Second Street from Bert Nash, which is located in the Community Health Facility, 200 Maine.

Bert Nash CEO David Johnson said although the zoning would allow them to provide inpatient care, that is not in its plans.

“We would never do inpatient hospitalization,” he said. “The challenges to freestanding inpatient psychiatric facilities are even greater than if they are part of a general hospital.”

However, Johnson said he could see Bert Nash providing crisis services for people who may need short-term services instead of hospitalization, such as 24-hour care.

He said such services could help eliminate unnecessary use of the Lawrence Memorial Hospital emergency department.

“It would be an alternative for

someone who doesn’t really need to be in the hospital but needs something fairly intense,” he said.

Johnson said Bert Nash doesn’t have any specific plans yet for the property but is seeking zoning that will allow for all possibilities.

For now, Johnson said the vision is to use the property to provide both medical and mental outpatient care for patients in one setting, and Bert Nash is already is working with Heartland Community Health Center, a safety net clinic located on the east end of the Riverfront Plaza.

They began integrating services in spring 2011 thanks to a grant that Heartland received through the Sunflower Foundation. Heartland has a contract with Bert Nash to pay for the services of Karin DenesCollar, a behavioral health specialPlease see BERT NASH, page 4A

Huelskamp, Jenkins seek Shoofly detours in full effect re-election to Congress

By John Hanna Associated Press

TOPEKA — Kansas Republicans Tim Huelskamp and Lynn Jenkins filed Monday for re-election to Congress, even though the boundaries of their districts remain unsettled amid a legal fight over redistricting.

One issue in a pending federal lawsuit over whether Manhattan, home to a planned $1.14 billion federal biosecurity lab, remains in the 2nd Congressional District of eastern Kansas. It is represented by Jenkins, a two-term congresswoman and the senior member of the state’s all-GOP delegation in the U.S. House.

Jenkins, local officials, Republican Gov. Sam Brownback and many GOP state legislators would like to keep Manhattan and the National Bio and AgroDefense Facility site in the 2nd District. But one bipartisan legislative proposal — approved by the Senate and rejected by the House — would have expanded Huelskamp’s 1st District of western and central Kansas to take in Manhattan.

Three federal judges handling the redistricting lawsuit will redraw the state’s political boundaries to reflect shifts in population over the past decade because state legislators failed to do it before formally ending their annual session Friday.

The judges had a two-day trial last week.

ist. She provides full-time mental health serves at Heartland.

Meanwhile, Heartland has provided a few health classes at Bert Nash.

Bert Nash and Heartland hope the new property will allow them to expand services, providing a one-stop shop for care.

Johnson said Bert Nash, which has 180 employees, has needed more space for years. Bert Nash provides a variety of outpatient therapy services for adults and children on a sliding-scale fee based on income. Since January, it has served 3,302 clients.

Scott McCullough, Lawrence planning and development services director, said the 13-acre property is currently zoned for general industrial use. In January, Bert Nash had requested zoning for hospital use. Now, it is requesting the property be zoned for general public and institutional use, or GPI. The text amendment is to create a new mental health care use within a GPI district.

“That would be a new use in our development code,” McCullough said.

The zoning request then will go before the planning commission June 25 and before the City Commission in midJuly.

“We are just trying to make sure that the possibility of an inpatient and outpatient facility for psychiatric services is an allowed use for them.

This effort of amending the code and in a followup rezoning establishes the potential to provide mental health services to a greater extent than they do already,” he said.

“They haven’t submitted any specific project yet.”

The City Commission meeting will start at 6:35 p.m. at City Hall.

Huelskamp

Jenkins

officials will protect funding for the lab, which will research deadly animal diseases. Huelskamp, a freshman congressman, said his focus on agriculture while representing his rural district would make Manhattan and the biosecurity lab a good fit for him.

The state’s entire congressional delegation strongly supports the project, and Jenkins told reporters after filing, “We’re going to go to bat for them, no matter whose district they’re in.”

Paperwork filed Both Huelskamp’s and Jenkins’ campaigns paid a $1,760 fee and filed paperwork in the Kansas secretary of state’s office to guarantee their spots on the Aug. 7 primary election ballot. Jenkins is seeking her third term and Huelskamp his second.

Neither has drawn a primary opponent. No Democrat has filed in the 1st District. In the 2nd, Scott Barnhart, an Ottawa farmer, has filed for the Democratic nomination, and the Rev. Tobias Schlingensiepen, of Topeka, a United Church of Christ pastor, has announced that he’ll run as a Democrat.

The state’s two other incumbent Republican congressmen, both freshmen, filed for re-election late last

month. They are Kevin Yoder, who represents the 3rd District, centered on the Kansas City metropolitan area, and Mike Pompeo, serving in the 4th District of south-central Kansas. Democrats have filed to run in both districts: George York, of Overland Park, in the 3rd, and Robert Tillman, of Wichita, in the 4th.

All four incumbents had been expected to run again, and they’re all favored to win re-election in GOP-leaning Kansas.

Redistricting lawsuit The filing deadline for state and congressional offices remains June 11, despite the lawsuit over redistricting. Secretary of State Kris Kobach, a Republican named as a defendant in the case, has urged the judges to postpone the deadline if they can’t set new boundaries this week.

The 1st District must grow because it is nearly 58,000 residents short of the ideal population of about 713,000. Jenkins’ district is slightly under-populated. The 3rd District, centered on the Kansas City metropolitan area, needs to gain more than 54,000 residents, and the 4th, in south-central Kansas, is slightly overpopulated.

The proposal to expand Huelskamp’s district to take in Manhattan would have left Jenkins with a slightly more Democratic district — something many Republican legislators disliked. Jenkins acknowledged that with her district between the shrinking-in-population 1st and the growing 3rd, “I’m going to get shoved around in the process.”

BRIEFLY Woman pleads guilty day. He was found about p.m. behind the store, in crime spree case 3:15 1901 W. 31st St., and was

A 22-year-old Topeka woman connected to a crime spree earlier this year in Lawrence, Topeka and Wichita, pleaded guilty to a federal robbery charge Monday.

According to federal court records, Brittany R. Holt entered the plea Monday afternoon in federal court in Wichita.

She and her co-defendant, David B. Johnson, 26, of Lockhart, Texas, were arrested in January after a robbery of a Wichita Subway restaurant and a police chase. Authorities also accused Holt and Johnson of taking part in a Jan. 26 armed robbery at Cirilla’s in Lawrence in which a man with a handgun was accused of taking $108 cash from a clerk at the store and a woman allegedly took lingerie, an adult toy and a set of bondage equipment.

Johnson in March pleaded guilty to three counts of robbery and one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm, and he admitted to taking part in armed robberies in Lawrence, Topeka and Wichita.

According to his plea agreement, he said Holt drove him away from law enforcement officers in the Wichita chase before they stopped in Butler County.

U.S. District Judge Thomas Marten is scheduled to sentence Holt Aug. 20.

According to court records, Holt’s bond was revoked in late May because she used narcotics and failed to cooperate with drug testing and treatment programs.

Johnson’s sentencing is scheduled for June 18.

Man critically injured in fight A 46-year-old Lawrence man who was found behind Home Depot on Sunday afternoon had suffered serious facial injuries in a fight with another man, police said Monday.

Sgt. Trent McKinley, a police spokesman, said the injured man remained in critical condition Mon-

flown to a Kansas City-area hospital by a helicopter ambulance, McKinley said.

He suffered head and facial injuries.

“Through investigation of the scene and numerous interviews, it has been determined (the man) suffered his injuries during a physical altercation with a 24-year-old Lawrence resident,” McKinley said. “The circumstances surrounding the altercation are still under investigation and, as of this time, no arrests have been made.”

McKinley said the man was found on concrete behind the store.

Police ask anyone with information to call detectives at 785-830-7430 or the Douglas County Crime Stoppers hotline at 785843-TIPS (8477).

Girl injured near city pool in fair condition A 15-year-old rural Lawrence girl was listed in fair condition Monday at a Kansas City, Kan., hospital where she’s recovering from injuries suffered in an accident last Wednesday outside the Lawrence Outdoor Aquatic Center, 747 Ky. Bob Hallinan, a Kansas University Hospital spokesman, said Carrie L. Barr arrived at the hospital Wednesday, the day of the accident. Lawrence police said Barr first was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital.

Sgt. Trent McKinley, a police spokesman, said Monday the accident report was not yet complete.

Police said last week that preliminary information indicated Barr had exited a vehicle driven by her sister that stopped in the eastern lane on Kentucky Street.

She went around the front of the vehicle to cross the street, presumably to go to the pool, and ran into a vehicle in the western lane.

Police said Barr was crossing the street south of the crosswalk.

ON THE

STREET

By Alex Garrison Read more responses and add your thoughts at LJWorld.com

Do you think parks or streets in Lawrence should be named for community members who have died?

Asked on Massachusetts Street

Linda Farrar, retired, Lawrence “I like that idea — I’m for being able to perpetuate a legacy.”

Carl Farrar, industrial engineer, Lawrence “I hesitate because where’s the cutoff? You have to be really good for the community to deserve a park. I wouldn’t object to the proposal, but it wouldn’t be high on my priority list.”

Lauren McWilliams, student, Lawrence “Someone who serves the community for a long time deserves recognition.”

Leslie Fitzsimons, student, Lawrence “I think it’s a good way to honor someone. It becomes a special place for the family.”

REPORT

• Douglas County prosecutors Monday filed four charges including aggravated assault against a 26-yearold Lawrence man accused of brandishing a handgun Saturday evening during a disturbance downtown.

Justin Antonio Free was scheduled to appear in court Monday afternoon. Police arrested Free Saturday evening in the 900 block of Iowa Street as a suspect in an earlier disturbance in an alley between the 600 blocks of Massachusetts and New Hampshire streets.

According to court records, prosecutors also filed charges of an aggravated weapons violation by a convicted felon, criminal threat and criminal damage to property against Free.

A judge set Free’s bond at $4,500. His next hearing is scheduled for this afternoon.

• Douglas County District Judge Kay Huff Monday ordered a 24-year-old Lawrence man to serve two years on probation for convictions in three separate cases last year, according to the Douglas County District Attorney’s office.

In April, Bryan D. Roberts had pleaded guilty to attempted aggravated criminal threat and a plea of no contest to a charge of bat-

tery on a law enforcement officer for a separate case.

He also was convicted in a separate criminal damage case.

In the criminal threat case, Roberts was initially charged with three counts of aggravated assault after prosecutors on Nov. 14 accused him of possessing a handgun in a Lawrence parking lot after an earlier altercation with several people inside a Saints Pub and Patio, 2329 Iowa. Roberts faces a 13-month prison sentence if he’s found to violate terms of his probation.

• A Lawrence resident in the 400 block of John Doy Court Monday afternoon reported a burglary that occurred overnight. Sgt. Trent McKinley, a police spokesman, said that the resident left her garage door open and that someone entered the door to the residence. The suspect managed to go through the victim’s purse, stealing credit cards and cash.

• Employees of Six Mile Tavern, in the 4900 block of West Sixth Street, reported that criminal damage of $1,500 worth of property in its men’s restroom occurred about 2 a.m. on May 25.

HOSPITAL BIRTHS Susan and Brian Gibler, Baldwin City, a girl, Monday.

Steve and Bonni Higginbotham, Lawrence, a girl, Monday.

Mark and Laurin Woodland, Lawrence, a boy, Monday.

Rachel Bienieck and Cory Smith, Tonganoxie, a boy, Monday.

The JournalWorld found gas prices as low as $3.27 at several stations.

CORRECTIONS An article Sunday incorrectly reported a portion of a report by Art Hall in the school finance lawsuit.

The report by Hall, executive director of the Center for Applied Economics at the Kansas University School of Business, states that Medicaid spending, proper funding of the state pension system, and implementation of federal health reform will “force state lawmakers to confront structural deficits.”

BRIEFLY Employee bit after shoplifting stop

Parole board refuses murderer’s release

A 36-year-old Overland Park man was arrested Sunday afternoon after police said he bit an employee at Walmart, 3300 Iowa, in the “chest and biceps, causing significant injury.”

The employee had stopped the man, Michael Joe Trogdon, about 1 p.m. because he was suspected of shoplifting.

“When stopped, he resisted detention by the Walmart employee,” and that’s when the biting began, said Lawrence Police Sgt. Trent McKinley.

Police arrested the man on suspicion of aggravated battery and theft. According to court records, prosecutors have charged Trogdon with misdemeanor battery and felony theft because he has at least two prior theft convictions. He’s accused of stealing a drug urinalysis test kit and headphones, according to the charges.

McKinley said the items were valued at $50 total.

Trogdon’s bond was set at $5,000. His next hearing is set for 9:30 a.m. today.

Convicted Douglas County murderer Wilford Molester Galloway has been passed over for parole until June 2014, according to Jan Lunsford, spokesman with the Kansas Department of Corrections.

Galloway was convicted of first-degree murder in the 1997 shooting death of Floyd White. According to court records, Galloway shot White during an argument just outside of Lawrence and left White’s body on the side of a road.

Galloway was sentenced to life in prison but became eligible for release in June after serving 15 years behind bars. Galloway is incarcerated at the El Dorado Correctional Facility.

Lunsford said a parole decision has yet to be made for convicted Lawrence serial rapist Charles Hunter, who is also eligible for parole this month. Hunter was convicted of a series of rapes and home invasions that occurred in December 1978 in Lawrence.

BRIEFLY CIA drone targets al-Qaida’s No. 2 WASHINGTON — A CIA drone strike Monday targeted al-Qaida’s second in command, Abu Yahia al-Libi, in Pakistan, but it was unclear whether he was among those hit, U.S. officials said.

U.S. officials say fewer than five people were hit, although Pakistani officials say more than a dozen people were killed in two days of strikes in Pakistan. The CIA has carried out a half-dozen strikes in less than two weeks, as the U.S. pushes ahead with the controversial drone program despite Pakistani demands that it stop. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity to describe the classified drone program.

Grim search for dead after Jury selection to begin in Sandusky trial Nigerian plane crash

By Jon Gambrell Associated Press

LAGOS, NIGERIA — Emergency crews wearing masks to protect them from the acrid smoke and the stench of the dead searched for bodies in a smoldering, shattered neighborhood near the Lagos airport Monday after the crash of an airliner killed all 153 people on board and an unknown number on the ground.

Apartment buildings, small businesses and roadside shops were smashed to bricks and rubble Sunday when the Dana Air MD-83 plowed into the area about five miles short of Lagos’ Murtala Muhammed International Airport.

Pilots on the flight from Nigeria’s capital, Abuja, to its largest city of Lagos radioed the tower that they had engine trouble shortly before the crash, but the exact cause remained unclear. The weather was clear at the time.

Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan wept as he visited the Iju-Ishaga neighborhood, where

“

The fear is that since it happened in a residential area, there may have been many people killed.”

— Yushau Shuaib, a federal emergency management spokesman emergency workers wore masks. A backhoe clawed at the debris looking for the dead.

Jonathan pledged to make air travel safer, but the crash called into question the government’s ability to protect its citizens and enforce regulations in a nation with a history of aviation disasters.

By nightfall, searchers with police dogs recovered 137 bodies, including those of a mother cradling an infant, according to Nigeria’s National Emergency Management Agency.

Rescuers acknowledged they still didn’t know how many people died in the wrecked apartments and smaller tin-roofed buildings along the narrow streets of Iju-Ishaga.

By Genaro C. Armas and Michael Rubinkam

“The fear is that since it happened in a residential area, there may have been many people killed,” said Yushau Shuaib, a federal emergency management spokesman.

Lagos state, home to 17.5 million people, has grown rapidly in recent years and soon will be home to the most populous city in all of Africa. Massive migration and urban sprawl have brought residential neighborhoods to the boundaries of the airport.

Some U.S. citizens were aboard the flight, State Department spokesman Mark Toner said, but he could not provide a firm number.

Others killed in the crash included at least four Chinese citizens, two Lebanese nationals and one French citizen, officials said.

Boeing said in a statement on its website that the company is ready to provide technical assistance to the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority through the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board. Dana Air said an investigation was under way with U.S. officials assisting the Nigerian government.

Associated Press

BELLEFONTE, PA. — Picking 12 people to decide Jerry Sandusky’s fate in the child-molestation case that brought down coach Joe Paterno and scandalized Penn State could prove a monumental task in a county w h e r e practically e v e r y o n e Sandusky went to the university, works there, knows someone there or is a fan of the football team.

Jury selection is set to begin today in the case against Sandusky, the 68-year-old former assistant Penn State football coach accused of sexually abusing 10 boys over 15 years. The proceedings will take place in Bellefonte, about 10 miles from State College, home of the university.

The prosecution and defense will have to find jurors who say under oath they can be impartial — potentially a tall order given the extraordinarily

heavy news coverage of the scandal, the area’s strong connections to Penn State, and the wide reach of the youth charity Sandusky ran.

“It’s going to be a very, very difficult chore to pick a jury in that community,” said Brian McMonagle, a Philadelphia defense attorney unconnected to the case.

Whether those Penn State ties work to the advantage of the defense or the prosecution remains to be seen.

Prosecutors, though, were so concerned that they asked Judge John Cleland to bring in prospective jurors from another county.

“The life of the university and Centre County are inextricably intertwined, both philosophically and economically,” prosecutor Joseph McGettigan wrote.

“To ask members of that community to ... insulate themselves from the institution which informs so many aspects of their lives is asking too much.”

Cleland rejected the request but said he would reconsider if a jury isn’t selected in a reasonable amount of time.

Miller, 23, who had attended Kansas and Baker universities, died May 24 when he was trapped inside a vehicle when it was hit by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan. Miller’s body arrived at New Century AirCenter in Gardner in a procession that included family members, the Patriot Guard, military officials, Olathe police and fire departments, and elected officials. The funeral for the 2007 Olathe Northwest graduate is scheduled for Wednesday. Gov. Sam Brownback has ordered that flags across Kansas fly at half-staff on that day. Miller deployed with the 4th Battalion, 23rd Infantry Regiment, 2nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division from Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash.

Obama win could cost Romney $5M in personal taxes

By Connie Cass Associated Press

WASHINGTON — To see where the presidential candidates stand on taxing the rich, just look at how they’d tax themselves.

Under his own proposal, Mitt Romney would pay half what he would under President Barack Obama’s tax plan.

For a man of Romn e y ’ s means, that could save Obama almost $5 million a year.

For Obama, not as loaded as Romney but still welloff, losing re-election could provide a tax windfall. He’d save as much as $90,000 a year if Romney’s plan were enacted rather than his own tax-the-rich vision.

Two nonprofit research groups, the liberal-leaning Citizens for Tax Justice and conservative-leaning Tax Foundation, did the calculations, based on the most recent completed tax returns released by the candidates. Compared with what they owed in April, both men would be dinged in 2013 under Obama’s proposal, along with other wealthy taxpayers. They could expect savings under Romney, depending on which tax breaks the former Massachusetts governor decides to oppose.

Whether they go up or

down, the candidates’ personal tax bills won’t make a dent in the nation’s trilliondollar annual deficits, of course. But they illustrate a sticking point in the struggle to fix the nation’s finances: Just how much should affluent Americans pony up?

Democrats generally say the rich aren’t paying their fair share; most Republicans argue that raising taxes on the wealthy would slow investRomney ment that creates jobs. The dispute makes it tougher to tackle urgent budget issues, such as whether to extend the Bush-era tax cuts again before they expire Jan 1.

Support for continuing the tax cuts for the middle class is wide, but a fight is under way over what to do about the wealthy.

“There’s quite a difference at higher incomes between the Obama and Romney plans,” said Gil Charney, principal tax researcher for the Tax Institute at H&R Block. “Obama is looking at the rich — millionaires and billionaires — as a source of additional revenue to the government, where Romney is looking at them as a potential spark for economic growth.”

Obama’s plan would hit couples making more than $250,000 per year from several directions, rais-

ing their tax rate, dunning them more for investment income, and limiting their tax deductions. People like Romney with earnings from private equity management would lose a big tax break.

And Obama would establish a rule, named after billionaire Warren Buffett, to ensure that households taking in more than $1 million a year pay at least 30 percent in taxes.

Obama’s health care law, already in place, also raises Medicare taxes on the wealthy, especially big investors, starting in 2013.

That could cost Romney more than $800,000.

None of this would come close to balancing the budget, but it could add billions of dollars per year to help reduce the deficit.

Romney wants to lower current tax rates for everyone by 20 percent. This benefits the wealthy most: Dropping the highest bracket from 35 percent to 28 percent, for example, yields a much bigger savings for those at the top than lowering the 15 percent bracket to 12 percent brings for taxpayers in that group.

Romney also would eliminate the much-despised alternative minimum tax, which hits the rich and some middle-class taxpayers, too. He wants to repeal Obama’s health care law and its taxes. Romney would pair his tax cuts with huge spending reductions eventually reaching $500 billion per year.

Obama a socialist? Wis. recall battle finally goes to voters Many scoff, but claim persists

By Scott Bauer

Associated Press

By David Crary Associated Press

NEW YORK — When President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign unveiled its new slogan, some conservative critics were quick to pounce.

“Forward,” they asserted, is a word long associated with Europe’s radical left. Its choice reaffirmed their contention that Obama is, to some degree or other, a socialist — a claim that surfaced early in the 2008 campaign and has persisted ever since, fueling a lively industry of bumper stickers and books.

“New Obama slogan has long ties to Marxism, socialism,” read a headline in The Washington Times. A column by Russian immigrant Svetlana Kunin, for Investor’s Business Daily, said Obama seeks to move America forward to “total government involvement in people’s lives.”

This is far from a new phenomenon — the use of “socialist” as a political epithet in the U.S. dates back to pre-Civil War days when abolitionist newspaper editor Horace Greeley was branded a socialist by some pro-slavery adversaries.

In the 20th century, many elements of Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal — including Social Security — were denounced as socialist. So was Medicare when it was created in the 1960s.

But to many historians and political scientists — and to actual socialists as well — the persistent claim that Obama is a socialist lacks credence.

He’s widely seen as a pragmatist within the Democratic Party mainstream who’s had ample success raising campaign funds from wealthy Wall Street capitalists. Even some of his strongest critics acknowledge that his administration hasn’t

“

I grow weary of Obama and the Democrats being called socialist. If you talk to any real socialist, they disown them very, very quickly.”

— Terence Ball, a political scientist at Arizona State University sought one of the classic forms of socialism — government control of the nation’s means of production.

Terence Ball, a political scientist at Arizona State University, said “socialist’ has gained currency as an anti-Obama slur because “the ‘L’ word (liberal) has lost it shock value.”

“I grow weary of Obama and the Democrats being called socialist,” said Ball, who has written about ideologies. “If you talk to any real socialist, they disown them very, very quickly.”

Full-fledged U.S. socialists are relatively scarce these days — three socialist-oriented presidential candidates received about 21,000 votes among them in 2008. And current socialist leaders don’t share the right-wing view that Obama is a fellow traveler.

“It makes absolutely no sense,” said Greg Pason, national secretary of the Socialist Party USA. Obama’s health care overhaul “is anything but socialist. It’s bailing out forprofit companies.”

Yet Pason has been pleased by the “socialist” rhetoric.

“We’ve had an opportunity to talk to people, and that’s been a blessing,” he said.

One tidbit they might learn: The Pledge of Allegiance — the epitome of American patriotism — was written in 1892 by a socialist clergyman, Francis Bellamy.

MADISON, WIS. — The battle over Gov. Scott Walker’s agenda has attracted millions of dollars from out of state, campaign volunteers from across the country and months of concentrated attention from the two major political parties.

But today, the only voices that matter will be those of Wisconsin voters deciding whether to keep Walker or fire him and hand his job to the Milwaukee mayor. After more than a year in the national spotlight, both sides are preparing for a razor-thin margin.

Polls show Walker, a Republican just 17 months into his term, with a small lead over Democrat Tom Barrett.

“Now it’s our turn to speak,” an exuberant Barrett told campaign workers Monday in Portage.

REPUBLICAN WISCONSIN GOV. SCOTT WALKER, RIGHT, and Democratic challenger Tom Barrett participate in a televised debate Thursday in Milwaukee.

“We the people of the state of Wisconsin are going to reclaim our future.”

During Monday’s first campaign stop, Walker said he expects a close race, too, and he’s focused on turning out voters who supported his efforts to take on publicemployee unions.

“We want to move on

and move forward,” Walker said at a plastics plant near Madison. He was joined by his wife, Tonette, who wore a button that read “Luv My Gov.” Walker planned other campaign stops at a brewery in Stevens Point and a distillery in Green Bay before wrapping up with a night-

time rally in Milwaukee.

Barrett was spending most of Monday in western and northern Wisconsin before ending his day with a rally at a United Auto Workers union hall in Kenosha.

Walker is only the third governor in U.S. history to face a recall vote. The other two lost, most recently California Gov. Gray Davis in 2003. Wisconsin’s recall election is a rematch of the 2010 governor’s race in which Walker defeated Barrett by 5 percentage points.

Anger over Walker and his conservative agenda began building almost as soon as he took office in January 2011. Just a month into his term, Walker took the state by surprise with a proposal to effectively end collective bargaining rights for most state workers, a measure he said was needed to ease budget problems. The recall idea emerged soon thereafter.

POLL

Political independents outweigh partisans WASHINGTON (AP) — Call it a pox on both the Republican and Democratic houses.

More Americans now call themselves politically independent than at any point in the last 75 years, according to a new poll.

The survey also shows that those who do align themselves with a party are more ideological and have become more polarized than at any point in the last 25 years, particularly on issues important in this year’s presidential and congressional campaigns.

Party loyalty, however, only goes so far; neither Republicans nor Democrats say their own party is doing a good job standing up for its traditional positions.

Five months before the November elections, the Pew Research Center poll released Monday sheds light on how the electorate feels about the nation’s two major political parties.

The results indicate a collective thumbs down to both

the Democratic and Republican Party, showing that an unprecedented 38 percent of adults rejected both parties and call themselves independents. Only 32 percent now say they are Democrats and 24 percent now call themselves Republicans.

This flight away from the two major political parties began in 2008, a time of intense partisanship as President Barack Obama battled Republican Sen. John McCain for the White House.

Then as now, independent voters are a critical constituency that candidates must win over to prevail in competitive general elections.

Exit polls show these voters have sided with the winning candidate in all but two of the past 10 presidential elections. Independents broke for Obama, 52 percent to 44 percent for McCain four years ago. And recent polling suggests independents are about evenly divided now between Obama and Mitt Romney.

U.S. economic outlook darkens after bleak jobs report

By Christopher S. Rugaber Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Faced with a fizzling job market, many economists have turned more pessimistic and no longer think U.S. economic growth will accelerate later this year.

Friday’s surprisingly bleak jobs report for May followed a spate of weak U.S. economic data last week. Manufacturing activity slowed, an index of home contracts fell and consumer confidence tumbled. Mounting troubles in Europe and elsewhere have heightened economists’ concerns.

Julia Coronado, an economist at BNP Paribas in New York, said she now expects growth of 2.2 percent this year, down from her previous forecast of 2.4 percent.

She also revised down her estimate of growth in the April-June quarter to a 2.2 percent annual rate, from a 2.5 percent rate.

“We keep hoping that we’re going to turn a corner and move into a stronger phase of recovery, and the door keeps getting slammed shut,” Coronado said.

After the jobs report Friday, JPMorgan Chase sharply reduced its growth fore-

cast for the July-September quarter to a 2 percent annual rate, down from 3 percent. It cited the weaker U.S. hiring and a likely drop in U.S. exports related to slower growth overseas.

And JPMorgan Chase now forecasts growth of 2.1 percent for 2012, down from 2.3 percent.

Forecasting firm Macroeconomic Advisers and Swiss bank UBS have also marked down their expectations since Friday’s jobs report.

As a general rule, it takes about 2.5 percent growth to generate enough hiring to keep up with population growth and prevent the unemployment rate from rising. The reduced forecasts suggest that hiring may not strengthen much this year.

After months of fitful expansion since the recession ended three years ago, many analysts had expected the economy to begin strengthening steadily.

Last month, the National Association for Business Economics said its latest survey of economists found rising expectations for job gains and housing construction.

And in April, the Federal Reserve raised its forecast for growth this year to nearly 2.7

by Scott Adams

percent, from a January estimate of 2.5 percent.

Now, it looks as if the recovery is stumbling again.

The biggest blow was Friday’s jobs report. It said employers added only 69,000 jobs in May, the fewest in a year. The government also said far fewer jobs were added in the previous two months than first thought — 11,000 fewer in March and 38,000 fewer in April. And the unemployment rate rose to 8.2 percent from 8.1 percent, the first increase since last June.

Great programs While many are just complaining about politics and government, a group of Kansas young people is preparing to do something about it.

I

t seems that plenty of people are frustrated by the actions of local, state and national government these days, but far too few are willing and able to get involved and try to make things better.

That’s a trend that American Legion posts and their auxiliaries across Kansas continue to fight each year through the Kansas Boys State and Sunflower Girls State programs that are being held this week. Kansas University welcomed about 250 Kansas high school seniors-tobe to the Girls State program on Sunday.

Boys State, which moved from KU to Kansas State University about 20 years ago, also got under way on Sunday.

The goal of both programs is to educate teens about the workings of government so they can be active and involved participants in the democratic system.

Whether they later run for public office, participate in election campaigns or simply cast well-informed ballots, they should leave Boys State and Girls State with a new appreciation for the governmental system that plays such an important part in our lives.

Unfortunately, like the American Legion groups that sponsor these events, participation in Boys State and Girls State has dwindled in recent years. The number of girls at this year’s event is less than half the peak of 573 delegates who attended the 1994 session. Boys State officials report an enrollment of 470 this year, which is up about 30 from last year but well below the 1,000-plus delegates who attended at the height of the program.

Whatever the reasons — competition from other activities, a declining financial ability of groups to sponsor participants or other factors — it’s too bad that more Kansas youngsters don’t have the opportunity for the government training provided by Boys State and Girls State.

They still are great programs, and KU should be proud of its continuing involvement.

There certainly has been no decline in the need for intelligent, well-motivated people to get involved in all levels of government. We hope the participants in this year’s Boys State and Girls State programs have a great week that leaves them energized and ready to share the valuable lessons they have learned.

Petraeus gets high marks in CIA job WASHINGTON — CIA Director David Petraeus spoke first at an April 19 memorial dinner for agency officers killed in action. He delivered well-scripted remarks and an evocation of the agency’s heroes. Then came Leon Panetta, his predecessor at the CIA and the evening’s main honoree, who delivered a stem-winding emotional speech to fervent applause.

The freewheeling Panetta, now secretary of defense, has been a tough act to follow at the CIA, especially for a former four-star Army general who thrived in the disciplined, resource-rich world of the military. And in his first year at the agency, Petraeus’ transition has sometimes been bumpy, as the CIA’s finicky workforce struggled to adapt to its new director.

“I hear the rumblings” from mid-level CIA officers, says one senior administration official. But he says Petraeus gets high marks from the Obama White House, which took the unusual step of naming the prominent general to the post.

An assessment of Petraeus as he nears completion of his first year as CIA director echoes these themes. It’s been a big change, from commanding vast U.S. military forces in Iraq, Centcom and Afghanistan to the smaller and sometimes haphazard CIA. His personal staff shrank from 50 to six.

Petraeus also gave up one of the most visible media profiles in America — the

One senior CIA officer who has served under 11 directors thinks performance is especially high now because Petraeus is driving the organization to produce — even at the cost of frustrating some subordinates.” iconic man in uniform — for a civilian job in the shadows, with the White House insisting that its intelligence chief stay out of the news.

The bottom line is performance, and here Petraeus gets good marks both from his senior colleagues and the administration. One senior CIA officer who has served under 11 directors thinks performance is especially high now because Petraeus is driving the organization to produce — even at the cost of frustrating some subordinates.

An example is Petraeus’ reorganization of the CIA’s famously bad system of career development. In place of a tepid, in-house system, he wanted something closer to the Army’s mid-career train-

ing, which allowed Petraeus to earn a Ph.D. at Princeton.

Soon after arriving, he set to work creating a similar opportunity for the CIA’s rising leaders.

This fall, the first six “Director’s Scholars” will head off for a year at top Ivy League universities, with an eventual goal of 20 to 25 such slots.

Petraeus was well-known as a commander for fastening on “big ideas.” He has just floated to employees a new strategic plan that focuses on ways for the agency to exploit new technology more effectively.

The measure of any CIA director is operations, and Petraeus’ instincts here have reflected his military background. In Yemen, Petraeus improved coordination with the military on drone attacks and other operations. The CIA and the military (not always good partners) have shared intelligence, personnel and even hardware.

Petraeus is also said to have pushed hard in Libya, rushing case officers there to work with the opposition. Making this surge work fell to John Bennett, the head of the operations directorate. A blunt, tough officer who had planned to leave with Panetta, Bennett is said to have complained that he occasionally felt he was in a “hostile work environment.” But Bennett was able to pull officers from Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and elsewhere.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for June 5, 1912: YEARS “The Lawrence AGO members of the IN 1912 Lake View Shooting and Fishing Club will formally open their new home at Lake View tomorrow.

Last Thursday was Topeka day at the club while tomorrow is to be Lawrence day and the following Thursday Kansas City day.

Practically the entire Lawrence membership will go up to Lake View tomorrow morning and spend the day at the popular resort. A large number of members and their families will go up in cars while others will take the train early in the morning.”

traeus is also said to have exercised restraint in drone attacks on Pakistan’s tribal areas — drawing some complaints from the agency’s Counterterrorism Center.

It isn’t easy to talk Petraeus out of a pet project, but he dropped a plan to steer $15 million to build a first-class gym. He was dissuaded by the agency’s top budget official, who argued the fancy gym wouldn’t look right in a time of austerity. Petraeus, a near-fanatic about fitness, did win his battle to install an exercise bike aboard his C-17 plane.

The former general is relentless in pushing for action, and some subordinates have chafed at this pressure. His deputy, Michael Morell, is said to have cautioned colleagues: “It’s our job to adapt to the style of the director” — good advice for an agency with a history of bad-mouthing bosses it doesn’t like.

Why did Petraeus take the job after finishing his military career? The answer is suggested by a comment he made to a senior colleague who was considering retirement in 2013. “You have to ask yourself if you’re really ready to be out of the arena.”

Petraeus might well have been talking about himself.

He wasn’t ready to leave the arena, and after learning the peculiar culture of the CIA, he seems increasingly confident in what he describes as the best job in government.

Wisconsin voters should retain Walker If the polls are right, today’s vote in Wisconsin on whether to recall Gov. Scott Walker, Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch and four Republican state senators could amount to a redial of their original victory. Voters who first elected the conservative Walker on a promise to fix the state’s dismal economy and crushing debt appear ready to reaffirm their judgment.

They would be making the right decision given the results Gov. Walker appears to have produced.

When Walker ran for governor, he promised to eliminate the state’s $3.6 billion budget deficit without raising taxes. He says he has done this. In fact, the Walker administration projects a surplus of $154.5 million by the end of the 2013 fiscal year. In this Walker mirrors Virginia Republican Governor Bob McDonnell, who also turned a deficit into a surplus in his first months in office without raising taxes.

Walker promised to create a “Waste, Fraud and Abuse Commission” and identify $300 million in savings to taxpayers. The commission identified $450 million in savings. According to Wisconsin’s Depart-

When the price of something exceeds the ability of an individual or a government to pay, we must conclude that we can’t afford it.”

ment of Workforce Development, unemployment in Wisconsin dropped from 7.5 percent in 2011 to 6.7 percent in 2012. A survey conducted by the Manpower Group shows state employers expect to increase their hires in the second quarter this year. And according to the Chief Executive Group, www.chiefexecutive.net, Wisconsin jumped from a ranking of 41 on a list of the best/worst states for business under former Democratic Gov. Jim Doyle, to 20th under Walker.

Republicans, who too often flee the political kitchen

unable to stand the heat, will see that political fire can often strengthen backbones.

Walker has stood against the heat of labor unions, not only in his state but from others as well, that descended on Wisconsin, occupying the state capitol for weeks last winter. He has also withstood the media onslaught, which, with few exceptions, has favored unions and Democrats in their pursuit of unaffordable benefits and unlimited spending.

If Walker survives the recall, he will send a message to President Obama and Mitt Romney that taxpayers are ready to consider a reduction in the size and cost of government, along with possibly returning it to its constitutional boundaries.

Wisconsin went for President Obama in 2008. This year it’s considered a swing state.

When the public is treated like adults, and issues are carefully explained to them, they make decisions that are in their government’s best interest, as well as their own.

The left has thrived on emotion and superficialities in selling nonstop spending and government expansion to the public. The right now has an opportunity to drive home

an ancient truth: When the price of something exceeds the ability of an individual or a government to pay, we must conclude that we can’t afford it.

In our anything goes era, that truth, which was widely accepted by those who lived through the Great Depression and World War II, may seem foreign to many. But it is based on a belief system that once served us well and can again. Letting our “wants” exceed our ability to pay is what gave us the housing crisis and led to recession. Living within our means heals government and individuals.

The University of Wisconsin fight song contains these words: “On, Wisconsin! On, Wisconsin! Fight on for her fame. Fight, fellows, fight, fight, fight! We’ll win this game.”

Except that today’s vote is not a game. It is about whether Wisconsinites and perhaps all Americans are fed up with nonstop spending and overreaching government. I’m betting they are and that they are unwilling to let the USA, the nation they love, be converted into a giant ATM. — Cal Thomas is a columnist for Tribune Media Services.

Young Self to play for dad

HIGH SCHOOL

To the victors …

Tyler plans to walk on at Kansas

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

It was several days after Free State High’s graduation ceremony that Firebird shooting guard Tyler Self decided to act on his dad Bill’s offer to join Kansas University’s basketball team.

“It was my mother, him and I eating dinner at a little Mexican restaurant.

I said something like, ‘I want to play.’

They were both kind of surprised. I think they both said, Tyler Self ‘Really?’ at the same time. It was pretty funny,” said Tyler, a 6-foot-2, 160-pounder who told the Journal-World on Monday he’d decided to become a non-scholarship walk-on player on Bill Self’s KU team.

Tyler, who averaged 3.9 points and 1.3 rebounds a game for the Firebirds (7-14) a year ago, chose KU over dad’s alma mater, Oklahoma State, where he would not have tried to walk on the hoops team and instead would have concentrated on his career path in business.

“I just love Kansas so much. I think it’ll be an amazing experience,“ said Tyler Self, whose sister, Lauren, is starting her senior year at KU. Both Selfs are looking forward to four years of what they hope are special times for KU’s basketball program.

Set to begin his 10th season, Bill Self has led KU to eight straight conference titles, one national title and a national runner-up appearance.

“I don’t know if he has ever officially been my coach,” Tyler said of his dad. “Growing up, he’d help me all the time. He’s been way in the background. He doesn’t want to interfere with anybody else or anything like that at all. We’re always talking after the games about different things.”

Bill Self said that, indeed, he has stayed out of the way of Tyler’s coaches.

“I have never tried to pressure Tyler athletically,” Bill Self said Monday. “In high school, junior high, I always

LHS claims Cup for first time

High.

First presented in 2006 to the school that wins more city showdowns between rivals Lawrence and Free State, LHS finally snatched the trophy away from the Firebirds in the 2011-12 school year with a slim 14.5-13.5 edge.

The big winners for Lawrence in the battle for the cup were the boys basketball team, which swept Free State with one overtime victory and a dramatic buzzer-beater win, and the baseball team, which beat FSHS three straight times in a nine-day span in May that included a regional playoff match-up.

Earning a point in the standings for each victory, the Lions also benefited from victories in football, volleyball, boys soccer (which earned a total of 1.5 points thanks to a

— LHS football/baseball player Garrett Cleavinger regular-season tie), girls golf, boys cross country, wrestling, boys and girls bowling and boys track.

The Lions and Firebirds were tied in the cup standings at 13.5 following the Sunflower League track meet, when the LHS boys and Free State girls each picked up a point.

The Lions’ 4-0 regional baseball victory sealed Lawrence’s status as the city’s top athletics department for the year.

“I think it’s a big deal,” said 2012 LHS graduate Garrett Cleavinger, who caught a pass in the football team’s 20-0 victory and pitched two complete-game wins for LHS baseball. “It’s really excit-

ing to know that we had a solid senior class all the way through, and we could finally beat out Free State in most of the sports and be dominant.”

Cleavinger was proud to be a part of the Lions’ successful year versus Free State.

“It’s gonna be four of the games that I look back on and remember in high school,” the University of Oregon-bound pitcher said, “especially it being my senior year, and we came out and took care of business.”

In baseball and basketball, recent graduate Troy Willoughby participated in five LHS victories against the Firebirds. The shortstop and back-up guard said he didn’t even know about the Cup until the Lions won it. Because he never experienced a varsity basketball victory over FSHS until his senior year, Willoughby said those victories were personally monumental.

TWINS 10, ROYALS 7

Minnesota ‘ad libs’ victory over K.C. KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — Cole De Vries had a couple of key strikeouts during what could have been the inning that doomed him to defeat against the Kansas City Royals, allowing him to escape further damage and keep the game tied.

He couldn’t remember what he threw to either of the batters.

“The whole thing is a blur,” he said, “to be honest with you.”

That’s because Minnesota responded to the Royals’ three runs with three of their own the next half inning, helping De Vries pick up his first major-league win with a 10-7 victory Monday night.

“It feels awesome,” said

De Vries, a former undrafted free agent out of the University of Minnesota. “It’s something I’ve been waiting for my whole life.”

De Vries (1-1) had a whole lot of help.

Justin Morneau and Josh Willingham each hit two-run homers, and Trevor Plouffe also went deep. Jamey Carroll reached base four times with two RBIs, and Ben Revere also drove in two runs.

“It shows we can ad lib a little bit,” said Twins manager Ron Gardenhire, who was Orlin Wagner/AP Photo forced into a makeshift lineup when Joe Mauer showed up at KANSAS CITY’S JEFF FRANCOEUR the ballpark with a sore thumb.

SM East QB commits to KU

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Quarterback U? Perhaps.

Monday night, Kansas University’s football team received its fourth commitment from the Class of 2013 when Shawnee Mission East prospect Jordan Darling orally committed to the Jayhawks.

Darling, 6-foot-4, 226 pounds, is the second quarterback in the class to pick KU — Bishop Miege High QB Montell Cozart committed in March — and the fifth QB brought to town by new head coach Charlie Weis since he took the job last December.

According to Rivals.com, Darling committed to Weis in person Monday with his

mother and father there with him.

“I told coach Weis I wanted to commit to them because they believed in me to offer early,” Darling told Jon Kirby. “And I believe in them. I remember being at the junior day when coach Weis told all of the recruits in the room they could be part of something special. I wanted to be a part of it.”

Quarterbacks coach Ron Powlus also played an integral part in landing the three-star prospect.

“He’s a great coach,” Darling told Kirby. “He’s been through the recruiting and knows what it takes. It will be nice to play for a guy that has done it and is successful.”

Sharapova guts out win in France PARIS (AP) — On days like these, when so little goes right and so much goes awry, Maria Sharapova tosses away the strategies and scouting reports her coach devises and, well, does whatever it takes to win.

Locked in a three-set, 3-hour struggle at a wet and windy French Open on Monday, Sharapova’s right, racket-swinging wrist was aching — and that, she insisted, was the least of her problems.

There was the tumble to her backside that Sharapova could laugh about later. The exasperating line calls, and what the second-seeded Russian considered an obstinate chair umpire. The 12 double-faults, plus 41 other errors of Sharapova’s own doing.

The nine breaks she allowed, including three while serving for the match. The unseeded foe who wouldn’t go away. “It was,� Sharapova summed up, “a good test for me.�

Certainly the first she’s faced at Roland Garros this year.

After dropping a total of five games in three matches that averaged less than an hour each, Sharapova moved into the quarterfinals at the only Grand Slam tournament she hasn’t won by swinging away until she finally pulled out a 6-4, 6-7 (5), 6-2 victory over 44th-ranked Klara Zakopalova of the Czech Republic.

Big Ten leaders: BCS best for us CHICAGO (AP) — Big Ten administrators would prefer a plus-one system over a fourteam playoff to determine a national champion if the BCS can’t be maintained in its current form.

Nebraska chancellor Harvey Perlman said conference presidents would choose to keep the current BCS system as is if there were a vote today. But he added change appears to be inevitable.

In the plus-one format, the bowl games would be played, and then the top two teams would meet for the title. “We think that in many respects, (the current system is) as good as you could do, with obviously some changes about automatic qualifying and perhaps how the top two teams are selected,� he said. “But we’re also realistic. That doesn’t seem to be one that has gotten a lot of support, and that some movement is necessary.�

Perlman spoke on a conference call with reporters Monday, a day after presidents and chancellors met at league headquarters in suburban Chicago. As the top conferences negotiate over a playoff system, the Big Ten is showing some flexibility, while remaining adamant that the bowls and its alliance with the Rose Bowl be preserved.

While it prefers the plus-one model, the conference seems willing to listen to proposals for a playoff system. Either way, commissioner Jim Delany acknowledged, the current pollbased system is flawed. A selection committee might be an option in picking the postseason teams, Delany said.

The Big 12 and SEC say the top four teams — not necessarily conference champions — should be in a playoff field. “I would agree. I think it should be the four best teams,�

Delany said. “I think the question is whether or not a computerized poll managed the way the one is today is an appropriate proxy for the four best teams. I totally agree we should have the four best teams.�

He also believes winning a conference championship “should matter.� “That’s the way we’ve been structured for 100 years,� he said.

RUSSIA’S MARIA SHARAPOVA RETURNS THE BALL to Czech Republic’s Klara Zakopalova during their fourth-round match in the French Open tennis tournament at Roland Garros stadium on Monday in Paris.

Sharapova and coach Thomas Hogstedt both said her wrist, which she repeatedly flexed during the match and fiddled with at her news conference afterward, shouldn’t be an issue.

Something else that might not be? The opposition. It seems that nearly every day a potential roadblock is swept out of the draw, from Serena Williams, to Francesca Schiavone, to Li Na. Indeed, Sharapova now has one thing in common with every woman left: None has won the French Open.

Defending champion Li’s surprising exit came against Yaroslava Shvedova of Kazakhstan, a glasses-wearing doubles special-

ist ranked 142nd in singles who needed to go through qualifying rounds to enter the main draw.

Shvedova dropped to her knees after taking the last 10 games to eliminate the seventhseeded Li 3-6, 6-2, 6-0 and become the ninth qualifier to reach the French Open quarterfinals.

There are no heartwarming, out-of-nowhere stories like hers among the remaining men.

It’s the first Grand Slam tournament since the 1984 French Open with all top six seeded men in the quarterfinals.

Rafael Nadal’s pursuit of a record seventh French Open title rolled on with another rout, this one a 6-2, 6-0, 6-0 victory over

his pal, Juan Monaco of Argentina, who’s not exactly a slouch — he was seeded 13th and has won five clay-court titles.

Nadal will take a 7-0 head-tohead record into an all-Spanish quarterfinal against No. 12 Nicolas Almagro, who beat No. 8 Janko Tipsarevic 6-4, 6-4, 6-4.

When three-time major finalist Andy Murray walked on court, he was booed by a partisan crowd pulling for France’s Richard Gasquet. Murray ignored a poor start, a still-bothersome back and more taunting and teasing from fans to win 1-6, 6-4, 6-1, 6-2. Next for Murray is a quarterfinal against No. 6 David Ferrer, who overwhelmed No. 20 Marcel Granollers 6-3, 6-2, 6-0.

In two matches halted in progress Sunday night by darkness, No. 5 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga finished off No. 18 Stanislas Wawrinka 6-4, 7-6 (6), 3-6, 3-6, 6-4, while No. 9 Juan Martin del Potro defeated No. 7 Tomas Berdych 7-6 (6), 1-6, 6-3, 7-5.

Aiming to be France’s first male champion at a Grand Slam tournament since Yannick Noah in Paris in 1983, Tsonga now plays No. 1 Novak Djokovic today in a rematch of the 2008 Australian Open final. Del Potro set up a rematch of the 2009 U.S. Open final he won against 16-time major champion Roger Federer.

LOS ANGELES — Jonathan Quick made 22 saves in his third shutout of the postseason, Anze Kopitar had a goal and an assist, and the Los Angeles Kings rolled to the brink of the franchise’s first NHL title, beating the New Jersey Devils 4-0 in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup finals on Monday night to take a 3-0 series lead.

Alec Martinez scored the opening goal, and Jeff Carter and Justin Williams added late power-play goals as the Western Conference champion Kings moved one win away from finishing one of the most spectacular playoff runs in league history.

Eighth-seeded Los Angeles improved to 15-2 in the postseason and jumped to a 3-0 lead in its fourth straight series — a first in NHL history.

Stephen Burbank, a University of Pennsylvania law professor, took only five days to determine that Goodell has the power to punish the players under the collective-bargaining agreement reached last August to end the lockout.

Goodell suspended Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma for the entire 2012 season and teammate Will Smith for four games. Former Saints defensive end Anthony Hargrove, now with Green Bay, was suspended for eight games, while linebacker Scott Fujita, now with Cleveland, was docked three games. Those players have appealed the suspensions. And the players’ union later Monday said it will appeal Burbank’s decision because it believes salary cap violations are involved in the payment.

Wizards bring back Wittman WASHINGTON — Randy Wittman will return as the coach of the Washington Wizards.

The team announced Monday that Wittman will keep the job he accepted after Flip Saunders was fired early in the season. Wittman had previously been an assistant on Saunders’ staff.

The Wizards went 18-31 under Wittman to finish with a 20-46 record, second worst in the NBA. But they played better late in the season, winning their last six games and eight of their last 10.

GM leaves Clippers for Blazers PORTLAND, ORE. — The Portland Trail Blazers have hired former Los Angeles Clippers GM Neil Olshey as the team’s new general manager.

The announcement by the Blazers Monday came less than an hour after the Clippers announced that they had decided to part ways with Olshey.

Last season, Olshey oversaw a major retooling of the Clippers’ roster that included signing AllStar Chris Paul in December in the biggest trade in franchise history. In the same six-day span, Olshey signed All-Stars Caron Butler and Chauncey Billups, and re-signed DeAndre Jordan.

NASCAR suspends Kurt Busch CHARLOTTE, N.C. — NASCAR has suspended Kurt Busch for one week for verbally abusing a media member.

NASCAR says that Busch’s behavior after Saturday’s Nationwide Series race at Dover was in violation of his probation from a reckless driving incident and post-race altercation last month.

Busch was asked by a reporter from The Sporting News on Saturday if being on probation changed the way he raced. Busch’s responded by saying being on probation stopped him from beating up the reporter for asking stupid questions.

Retooled Raiders have high expectations

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

When Brad Romme heard who would be playing for the Lawrence Raiders this year, it didn’t take him long to accept the job offer to become the American Legion baseball team’s head coach.

Lawrence High coach Brad Stoll and Free State coach Mike Hill presented the rundown of experienced varsity players Romme would have a chance to work with this summer. From LHS: Trevor Champagne, CJ Roush, Cameron Solko, Matt Sutliffe and Troy Willoughby, plus Lions alumni Corbin Francisco and Aaron Gile.

From Free State: Trent

Johnson, JD Prochaska and Montana Samuels.

“It was an absolute nobrainer after that,” said Romme, an LHS graduate who played for the Raiders.

The Raiders went 4-1 at the Mid-America Tournament this past weekend for their new coach, a former FSHS assistant coach on Hill’s staff.

The makeup of the team will be different than it was last year, when many experienced varsity players from the city’s schools played for teams in the Kansas City Metro area or Topeka. With the Raiders back to a more traditional roster, Romme is looking forward to coaching the group.

“They’re really all such good buddies,” Romme said, “and wanted to play together this summer.”

While the Raiders’ initial success at their debut tournament came in large part from complete-game pitching performances, Solko said the team’s strength might actually be its offense.

“We have a bunch of just crazy hitters in our lineup that can turn around on 89 mph,” Solko said. “It’s fun to watch.”

With so much talent and experience on the roster, Solko added, no one has to carry the burden of leading the team or being the main source of hitting, pitching or defense.

“We just have a bunch

of athletes, honestly. We have first basemen playing right field,” Solko said, referring to Sutliffe.

An experienced infielder, Francisco pitched for the Raiders in one of their weekend victories.

“I think all of our players,” Solko said, “are willing to play anywhere, and that’s what makes it so cool.”

Samuels said all of the Raiders lead in their own way, and with so many guys focused on improving before they play at the college level, it should make for a successful summer season.

“That’s probably the biggest part of it,” Samuels said, “is getting us prepared.”

BRIEFLY KU softball hires pitching coach Former All-American pitcher Abbie Sims has joined Kansas University’s softball coaching staff, head coach Megan Smith announced Monday.

Sims spent the past five years as pitching coach at Houston. Houston finished the 2011 season nationally ranked and one win shy of a Women’s College World Series berth using a 1.35 team earned-run average — the best in the nation.

Sims replaces former assistant coach D.J. Mathis, who spent the last two seasons coaching the Jayhawk pitchers before taking a head-coaching position at St. Gregory’s, an NAIA school in Shawnee, Okla., following the 2012 season.

KU track honored Kansas University sophomore sprinter Diamond Dixon, head coach Stanley Redwine and assistant coach Wayne Pate earned Midwest Region awards Monday, as announced by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA). Dixon was named the region’s female track athlete of the year, Redwine was the Midwest’s women’s head coach of the year, and Pate was the women’s assistant coach of the year in the region.

DB Routt settling in with Chiefs

Cup “There was so much adrenaline, so much excitement involved, especially the second game when Shane (Willoughby, Troy’s younger brother) hit the game-winner,” he said.

Memories abounded for the Lions this past year. For graduate Kailey Wingert, few moments stood out like the volleyball team’s 3-1 city showdown victory against the Firebirds.

“I still think about it a lot, being Senior Night and all,” Wingert, an outside hitter, said. “It was really fun to be able to come in and beat them.”

Suiting up for Lawrence’s football victory over FSHS in the regularseason finale, 2012 grad Isaiah Ross said, was his favorite sports moment of the year.

“We were supposed to lose that game, and we weren’t supposed to go to the playoffs,” Ross recalled, “and we shut them out.”

A team-best series of 642 from Ross helped the LHS boys bowling team earn a showdown victory.

It meant a lot to him to play a role in Lawrence High’s first World Company Cup. “It feels great, because we got beat every single year. It feels good to finally get one,” Ross said.

“Our class was better than theirs, our talent level was above theirs, so it was just time to show them.”

The first baseman from Free State agreed with Solko that no one would have to stand out or carry the Raiders.

“Everyone’s really gonna show what they can do,” Samuels said.

The Raiders, Samuels added, are a “tight-knit” group, because many of them have played together or against each other since they were little leaguers.

Between that and their talent level, the Raiders expect plenty of victories this summer.

“We can be as good as anybody we play,” Samuels said.

The Raiders will host Kansas City Millhouse at 6 tonight at LHS.

The Twins led 4-1 in the bottom of the fourth when Mike Moustakas followed a pair of singles to start the inning with an RBI double.

Jeff Francoeur proceeded to slap a grounder to Minnesota shortstop Brian Dozier, who let the ball go right through the wickets for a run.

Record-setting spring The KU football program had a record-setting spring in the classroom, the university announced Monday evening.

KU’s team grade-point average of 3.0 for the spring semester was the program’s all-time best for a semester and a drastic improvement from the 2.46 GPA the team recorded during the fall semester.

“I am delighted,” Weis said. “That mark exceeded my expectations by a wide margin. To be able to jump more than half

The Royals wound up tying the game on the play.

De Vries ended the rally with the two key strikeouts.

“When something like that happens, someone has to pick it up,” he said.

“I was happy to be able to do that, pick it up for the guys.”

Morneau broke the tie with his two-run shot off Will Smith (1-2), who was also making his third big league start. Plouffe’s homer moments later restored the three-run cushion.

The Twins survived two runs in the ninth by Kansas City, and Matt Capps got Johnny Giavotella to ground out with the tying run on deck to finish it.

Niko Roberts, son of KU assistant Norm Roberts, is a junior on the squad.

“I think that KU is just an awesome place. I honestly don’t see how anybody would want to go anywhere else,” said Tyler, who was a Free State starter until hurting his ankle in a game last winter. He regained his starting spot once his ankle fully healed. “I am excited to be part of the team, to do whatever I can to contribute. I think ‘excited’ is the right word for it.”

“It’ll be great,” noted Bill.

“I haven’t had a chance to

spend as much time with him as I’d like, but this is a great opportunity. He loves KU. He loves the guys on the team. He’ll be a nice asset to our program, primarily through practice.

He’ll be good in practice and a great teammate.”

By the way, it’s unlikely Bill and Tyler will be playing any one-on-one basketball during breaks in practice.

“Not in a while,” Tyler said of the last time the two squared off in the gym or driveway. “I think he knew when to quit playing me as I got older because I don’t think he wants to lose.”

a letter grade in one semester, and exceeding the best GPA ever by a quarter-grade merits my congratulations to the entire team. Good things happen when you go to class, go on time and use academic support.”

Four football players recorded 4.0 GPAs this spring and 32 others topped the 3.0 mark.

“When we hired Charlie Weis, he and I agreed that performance in the classroom was a top priority,” KU athletic director Sheahon Zenger said.

“What this achievement indicates is that coach Weis and his team fully embraced that goal and delivered.

“This is clearly a family priority as well,” Zenger added, “since Charlie Weis, Jr., also achieved a 4.0. Coach Weis obviously holds his family to as high a standard as he holds his team.”

Kansas football was one of nine KU programs to

eclipse the 3.0 mark during the spring semester.

Volleyball led the way with a 3.44 mark, followed by soccer (3.32), softball (3.25), swimming & diving (3.25), men’s golf (3.14), women’s golf (3.11), tennis (3.05) and women’s track & field (3.0).

Farley to transfer Jake Farley, a 6-1, 220-pound sophomore linebacker from Cedar Falls, Iowa, will transfer to Northern Iowa, where he will finish his career playing for his father, Mark, Weis announced Monday.

“Jake met with me on Friday and told me he would like to finish his career playing for his dad,” Weis said in a press release. “How could I debate that one? On behalf of the KU program, I wish Jake success and happiness as he returns home to be with his family.”

Farley red-shirted during the 2010 season and did not play during 2011.

KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — Stanford Routt was no fan of the Oakland Raiders locker room.

Not the guys in it, mind you. He had plenty of friends after seven years with the Raiders, both teammates and those who worked for the franchise.

He just wasn’t a fan of the locker room itself.

“I could touch the ceiling standing up,” Routt said, gazing into the airy expanse of the Kansas City Chiefs’ spacious locker room. “The facilities here are so much better.”

The veteran defensive back is quickly settling into life as a member of his longtime division rival. He loves the hot, humid weather that comes with summer in the Midwest. He’s a huge fan of the relative lack of traffic.

He appreciates the slower pace of life.

“It’s been great,” he said after practice Monday.

“This was exactly what I was looking for. I spent my whole career in Oakland, and it’s nice to get a fresh start.”

Routt isn’t alone in growing accustomed to the Chiefs.

About a dozen stalls down in the locker room is tight end Kevin Boss, who also spent last year with the Raiders, giving each of them a certain amount of familiarity.

Then there’s the fact that Routt has played against the Chiefs twice a year for his entire career.

He came into the new organization with some friendships already established, and that’s allowed him to quickly become part of the culture in Kansas City.

“I think the camaraderie has been the biggest thing, which is important,” said linebacker Derrick Johnson, the Chiefs’ elder statesman on defense. “He’s been able to come in here and get up to speed, and really he’s just one of the guys.”

There were other free agent signings made by Kansas City that generated more attention this offseason. Peyton Hillis will be toting the ball for the Chiefs rather than the Browns, and Eric Winston will be blocking for him rather than the Texans’ Arian Foster.

But it was Routt who may turn out to be the most important.

The Chiefs were unable to keep Brandon Carr, who had emerged as one of the league’s top defensive backs, and he ultimately signed with Dallas.

That created a massive void opposite of Brandon Flowers, who Kansas City successfully signed to a long-term deal last year.

When the frenzy of free agency hit, Routt was among the Chiefs’ priorities.

K.C. signs safety Elam KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs have signed free agent safety Abram Elam to provide depth behind Eric Berry, who is coming back from a devastating knee injury sustained last season.

Elam will be entering his seventh season in the league after spending last year with the Cowboys. He’s also played for the Jets and the Browns, starting 64 of the 92 games he’s appeared in with 365 tackles, five sacks and three interceptions.

The Chiefs have been especially thin at safety during offseason workouts.

Berry has been held out while recovering from a torn left ACL early last season, and fellow starter Kendrick Lewis has been out after undergoing offseason shoulder surgery.

Much has been made of his propensity for penalties — he was flagged 17 times last year, nine of those coming during a three-week stretch. But there’s also the fact that he was playing for the fourth-worst defense in the league, one that allowed nearly 400 yards of offense per game, and was regularly matched up with the opposing team’s top playmaker.

The Raiders fared better against the pass than the run, largely due to Routt, who started 30 of the 32 games that he’s played over the past two seasons.

“Some of his talent is beginning to show up now the more comfortable he gets with the guys around him,” Chiefs coach Romeo Crennel said. “His abilities begin to show.”

Things haven’t been entirely perfect since arriving in Kansas City.

Routt was covering wide receiver Jonathan Baldwin on a deep ball during one of the Chiefs’ organized team activities last week. Baldwin leaped into the end zone, twisted his body and made a onehanded snare that drew a chorus of “oohs” from just about everyone on the practice field.

Everyone except Routt, that is.

“That’s football. Sometimes you make a play, sometimes he makes one,” Baldwin said. “Like I said, it happens. I’d like to see that happen 20 more times in a row.”

The part about Baldwin making the catch.

Not the part about getting beat.

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Cards end five-game skid The Associated Press

Cardinals 5, Mets 4 NEW YORK — Allen Craig hit a tiebreaking, two-run homer in the eighth inning, and St. Louis found a bit of missing pop, beating the Mets on Monday and stopping its season-worst losing streak at five.

The Cardinals have never been swept in a four-game series in New York. The World Series champions had been outscored 19-1 by the Mets and no-hit by Johan Santana before salvaging the finale at Citi Field.

Craig connected one out after Matt Holliday hit a leadoff single against Jon Rauch (3-5) for a 5-3 lead.

Astros tap P.R. teen No. 1 ————

Correa makes national history, hopes to help Houston forget Jeter miss SECAUCUS, N.J. (AP) — Carlos Correa was thrilled when he heard his name announced, knowing he had made hometown history at the baseball draft.

The Houston Astros selected the 17-year-old slugging shortstop with the No. 1 pick Monday night, making him the first player from Puerto Rico to lead off the draft.

“This means a lot,” Correa said from the draft site at MLB Network studios.

“We’ve got a lot of good players there.”

Correa, however, is the only one to be drafted first from an island that has produced its share of baseball royalty: Roberto Clemente, Ivan Rodriguez, Carlos Beltran, Carlos Delgado, Juan Gonzalez, Bernie Williams. Some of those players signed as free agents — catcher Ramon Castro had been the highest-drafted player out of Puerto Rico, going No. 17 to Houston in 1994.

“I feel so excited to be the No. 1 pick,” said Correa, who was congratulated by Delgado on Twitter.

“I’ve worked so hard to be here.”

It was the first time Houston had the top pick in the draft since 1992, when the Astros selected Phil Nevin — passing on a young shortstop named Derek Jeter, who went five spots later to the Yankees.

“I have read about that,”

Correa said, calling Jeter his idol as much for the New York captain’s character off the field as on. “I want to be like him. He’s awesome.”

First-year Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow said Correa “has a chance to be a star” who could hit 20-30 home runs in the pros, whether it’s as a shortstop or “ultimately maybe third base.”

Correa said he’d like to stay at shortstop, and he plans to use his signing bonus to help his family financially.

As he walked to the podium and s h o o k hands with Correa Commissioner Bud Selig before a brief hug, Correa pulled out a small Puerto Rican flag and held it up to big cheers from the crowd of major league representatives and fans gathered in the stadiumthemed studio.

Correa was one of five players in attendance at the draft, but his introduction was far from the most entertaining. Texas high school outfielder Courtney Hawkins did a backflip — after being prodded by a television reporter when a video was shown of him landing one — a

few moments after going No. 13 to the Chicago White Sox. The 6-foot-3, 220-pound Hawkins, wearing a White Sox cap and jersey, spoke to general manager Kenny Williams right after he stuck his landing.

“They said, ‘Go do it,’ so I went and did it,” a smiling Hawkins said. “But Mr. Williams said: ‘No more.’”

While the NFL has a few dozen players show up for its draft, baseball has slowly made its event a place to be with the televised first round and major league representatives on hand — just a few years after it once was held entirely by conference call.

The five players in attendance this year were the most since the draft moved to MLB Network studios in 2009.

Joining Correa and Hawkins were Oklahoma State lefty Andrew Heaney (No. 9, Marlins), Louisiana high school shortstop Gavin Cecchini (No. 12, Mets) and Washington high school catcher Clint Coulter, who went 27th to the Brewers.

Heaney, a draft-eligible sophomore, had tears in his eyes after Miami selected him. Sitting with the other prospects in a makeshift dugout, Heaney headed over to shake Selig’s hand and soon was wearing a Marlins cap and jersey.

“That’s about all that went through my mind is, don’t trip,” a beaming Heaney said.

While recent drafts lacked first-pick intrigue, Luhnow said the Astros didn’t settle on Correa until about an hour before they went on the clock. Several mock draft lists predicted the Astros would select Stanford right-hander Mark Appel, but instead Houston made a somewhat surprising selection — although Correa was considered one of the top five players available.

Appel slid a few spots lower than projected, going to Pittsburgh at No. 8.

Correa has an incredibly strong arm and terrific instincts on defense, and the Astros hope they’ve found a big-time bat for the middle of their lineup.

The 6-foot-4, 190-pound star from Santa Isabel starred at the Puerto Rico Baseball Academy and is committed to the University of Miami, but is likely headed to Houston’s farm system instead.

“Right now, he stays at shortstop and if he was to happen to grow out of it, it’s the power that’s the attraction here and it’s the middle of the order potential impact bat,” Astros scouting director and assistant general manager Bobby Heck said. “So if he has to move, his profile is still very, very strong.”

OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER POWER FORWARD NICK COLLISON (4) REACHES IN on San Antonio Spurs shooting guard Manu Ginobili during the first half of Game 5 in the NBA’s Western Conference finals on Monday in San Antonio.

Thunder weather Spurs shots, lead 3-2 SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Kevin Durant scored 27 points, and the Oklahoma City Thunder are on the brink of the NBA finals, beating the San Antonio Spurs, 108-103, in Game 5 on Monday night and moving within a victory of a series knockout.

Russell Westbrook added 23, and the Thunder took a 3-2 lead in a wildly entertaining Western Conference finals.

Looking invincible while carrying 20-win streak a week ago, the Spurs have lost three straight and are on the verge of a stunning collapse.

Manu Ginobili scored 34 in a smashing return to the starting lineup. But trailing 106-103 and the Spurs down to their last shot, Ginobili missed an off-balance three-pointer in the final seconds.

Game 6 is Wednesday night in Oklahoma City, where the Thunder can punch their ticket to the NBA Finals in the place they haven’t lost all postseason.

They’re bringing home just what they needed: the must-win on the road if they’re going to pull this series out.

Oklahoma City pulled it off behind their stars.

James Harden scored 20, joining Durant and Westbrook as the only Thunder players in double figures.

Harden hit the biggest shot, draining a 3-pointer with 28.8 seconds left that pushed Oklahoma City’s lead to five. He admitted afterward that the ball was supposed to go to Durant but had no choice but to let go with the shot clock winding down and Spurs rookie Kawhi Leonard in his face.

Tony Parker had 20 points and Tim Duncan

had 18 points and 12 rebounds for the Spurs.

After remaining unbeaten for 50 days before arriving in Oklahoma City, San Antonio has lost three games in five day.

They now must win two straight to avoid seeing their last best chance to win in a title in the Duncan era end.

“Championship teams win on the road,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. “Oklahoma City just did that.”

It’s the first time the Spurs have lost three in a row all season.

Durant scored 22 of his points in the second half.

Westbrook also had 12 assists.

Not wanting the series to slip away, Popovich moved Ginobili to the starting lineup in place of Danny Green, who came in shooting a combined 8-of-28 in this series. It was the first start for Ginobili since March and just his eighth all season.

Green’s days as a starter began looking numbered after Game 3. He couldn’t save his job before leaving Oklahoma City — Green shot 4-of-12 in both losses combined — and Popovich couldn’t wait any longer with the series tied and the season in the balance.

The gambit drew mixed results. It looked like a no-brainer with Ginobili leading all scorers at halftime with 14, but new rotations for the Spurs made for rocky possessions.

None more so than in the second quarter, when the Spurs shot 38 percent and trailed by as much as 14 before coming back in the second half.

Ginobili finished 11 of 21 and made half of his 10 3-point attempts. But with 4.9 seconds left, the one he needed most clanked off the back of the rim.

“We wanted to get Manu the three,” Popovich said.

Heat’s Bosh may play in Game 5 MIAMI (AP) — Chris Bosh has been telling the Miami Heat that he’s ready to play.

The Heat seem ready to listen.

And Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals — which wouldn’t be lacking for drama with Boston and Miami tied at two games apiece — may have another significant layer of intrigue.

Bosh’s status was upgraded to “day-to-day” by Heat coach Erik Spoelstra on Monday, the first deviation by the team after more than three weeks of simply saying his absence was indefinite because

of a strained lower abdominal muscle. Spoelstra wouldn’t guarantee that Bosh plays in Game 5, but opened the door to there at least being a chance of the All-Star forward-center suiting up.

If tonight is the Bosh comeback night, Boston won’t be caught off-guard.

“We don’t have to do anything different,” Celtics coach Doc Rivers said.

“We’ve prepared every game like Bosh is going to play. And eventually, he will.”

Bosh was watching from the bench for the two games in Boston, where the Celtics managed to

| 5B

tie the series by following largely the same formula — building a big lead, then holding on at the end.

Of the 101 minutes of game time in Boston, the Heat led for exactly six minutes. The Celtics have led by at least 15 points in each of the last three games, never trailing by more than eight, though managed to win only two of those contests. And Game 4 nearly slipped away as well, Miami digging out of an 18-point hole to take the lead late, before falling 93-91 in overtime as Dwyane Wade’s threepointer to win it fell just short at the final buzzer.

Dear Annie: My wonderful wife and I have been married for a little less than a year. Though I love her with all my heart, I absolutely do not get along with one of her friends. “Sherry” is negative, overdramatic and incredibly self-centered.

She bullies my wife and expects to receive far more support than she’s willing to give. When Sherry moved to another city, I figured we were both finally free of this woman. But I was mistaken. Within a couple of months, Sherry demanded that we visit her and spend the weekend.

She now expects us to reciprocate at a moment’s notice, inviting herself to stay at our place and baby-sit her kids whenever she comes to town to shop and have her hair done. My wife knows how I feel about Sherry.

I have tried hard to keep my mouth shut and be away from the house

Annie’s Mailbox

when she comes by. But the thought of having to deal with a person like this for the rest of my life nauseates me to the point where I’m seriously considering divorce. Any advice? — Ready To Walk Dear Ready: You’re being a little overdramatic yourself. We can see that Sherry is a pain and you can’t stand the sight of her, but divorce is an extreme reaction. Please allow your wife to have her own friends. You get to avoid the ones you dislike. Don’t ever visit Sherry. If she comes to your

Reality fare goes ‘Wild’ Given the competition, it’s a tough job singling out summer’s most brainless series, but the returning reality spectacle “Love in the Wild” (8 p.m., NBC) deserves special attention. It’s “The Dating Game” meets “Indiana Jones” as 14 singles strive to find romance while competing in pairs and sometimes trios in games of endurance under challenging and occasionally yucky circumstances. Tonight, they have to swim through dark water filled with snakes. Even after that grim task, seven singles will be sent home. ‘‘Wild” is an extended tourism commercial for the Dominican Republic, where it is set.

This year’s host is Jenny McCarthy, a former Playboy model who became that magazine’s Playmate of the Year in the early 1990s. That would lead to her stint as host of MTV’s “Singled Out.” Does anybody recall her eponymous NBC sitcom “Jenny” from 1997? I can’t say I do, and I suppose I reviewed it!

McCarthy departed from her caricature as the generically curvaceous Marilyn-du-jour after becoming a mother and lending her celebrity to several New Age theories associating autism with childhood vaccines.

One would think that McCarthy’s association with a cause as controversial and “heavy” as that would preclude her involvement with such mindless piffle as “Love in the Wild.” But, hey, this is NBC, where a radioactive reputation (like those of Howard Stern and Donald Trump) seems to enhance your chances for hosting silly spectacles.

“Concert for the Queen: A Diamond Jubilee Celebration With Katie Couric” (8 p.m., ABC) takes a backstage look at a special performance celebrating Queen Elizabeth II’s 60 sceptered years. Performers include Stevie Wonder, Annie Lennox, Elton John and Paul McCartney, who once sang that “Her Majesty” was “a pretty nice girl, but she doesn’t have a lot to say.”

Tonight’s other highlights

The Austin, Texas, round continues on “America’s Got Talent” (7 p.m., NBC).

After a summer to lick their emotional wounds, Aria, Emily, Hanna and Spencer gather again on the season premiere of “Pretty Little Liars” (7 p.m., ABC Family).

Pittsburgh’s most overbearing mothers battle it out on a new season of “Dance Moms” (8 p.m., Lifetime).

Winter descends on “Deadliest Catch” (8 p.m., Discovery).

BIRTHDAYS

Broadcast journalist Bill Moyers is 78. Rock singer Laurie Anderson is 65. Author Ken Follett is 63. Dr. Jill Biden, wife of Vice President Joe Biden, is 61. Financial guru Suze Orman is 61. Jazz musician Kenny G is 56. Actor Jeff Garlin is 50. Actor Ron Livingston is 45. Singer Brian McKnight is 43. Actor Mark Wahlberg is 41. Actor Chad Allen is 38. Rock musician Pete Wentz (Fall Out Boy) is 33.

town, you and your wife should suggest she stay elsewhere, and your wife can meet up with her in a neutral spot. If your wife insists that Sherry stay with you, absent yourself as much as possible (or pack a bag and stay with friends). Over time, Sherry will discover shops and hair salons closer to her new home, and these visits will become less frequent. Be patient, and let distance do the job of making the friendship lapse.

Dear Annie: I am engaged to a kind, wonderful, hardworking, compassionate man who treats me like a queen. He was once quite wealthy but lost his business during the economic recession.

He’s working hard to regain his status, and we try to remain optimistic.

We’re also pulling our belts tighter and making the best of our situation without complaining.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Tuesday, June 5: You express a great deal of kindness and understanding this year.

As a result, you draw many people toward you. If you are single, your status could change. If you are attached, you become a lot happier this year, which makes a new beginning possible.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) People, including you, need to put some order into a certain situation. You have the exact skill set needed. Tonight: A force to be reckoned with.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) What many lack is the vision you have to clearly see the events of the day. Be willing to take a subtle approach. Tonight: Relax with a preferred pastime.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) One-on-one relating allows you greater give-and-take.

Listen carefully to news that comes in. Tonight: Dinner for two.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Others want to understand your actions and might keep asking questions. Be patient and willing to work with them. Tonight: In the whirlwind of living.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) All work and no play might not be fun, but you gotta do what you gotta do. Your sixth sense tells you there is more going on than meets the eye. Tonight: Put your feet up.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your imagination feeds nearly every conversation and situation that surrounds you. Try not to add too much drama to any

jacquelinebigar.com

situation that comes along. Tonight: Rethink your plans.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) See what is happening around a domestic or personal situation that means a lot to you.

Consider your options with care, especially if they involve a loved one or dear friend. Tonight: Homeward bound.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Keep conversations moving, and know full well that you and others could be distorting information. Continue asking questions, and listen to what is not being said.

Tonight: Ask and you shall receive.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You are on quite the roller-coaster ride, as many people in your life change their tune. A creative endeavor, probably involving a child or loved one, suddenly could head in an unforeseen direction.

Tonight: Keep your spending under control.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You beam and draw in opportunities. You seem to have a premonition as to what will happen before it does. Tonight: Choose something fun.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Assume a more reticent position, and you will be much happier. You cannot make everyone see the glass as half-full. Tonight: Head home. Get a good night’s sleep.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You have a way that often gets you what you want. You might think that that is occurring at the moment, but a snafu could come up where you least expect it.

Tonight: Out and about.

UNIVERSAL CROSSWORD

NO GREAT MATTER By Alice Walker

6/5

When he proposed, he presented me with an elegant, simple band. He said it was all he could afford right now, but promised to buy a fancier ring when he’s more financially able. I do not place any importance on how extravagant the ring is. I love him for who he is. But how do I deal with insensitive remarks from others who think he’s being cheap? Why do people feel the need to belittle an engagement ring no matter what it looks like?

— L.A. Bride-To-Be Dear L.A.: People can be rude and insensitive.

The correct response to any unkind comment about your engagement ring is to look at it lovingly and then smile sweetly and say, “It’s exactly what I wanted. I’m ACROSS so lucky.”

— Send questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or Annie’s Mailbox, P.O. Box 118190 Chicago, IL 60611.
