LUKE ULRICH, WHO LIVES SOUTH OF LAWRENCE, kneels in one of his wheat fields Monday to survey the crop. The wheat is ready to be harvested, but farmers may have a difficult time getting their combines into the rain-soaked fields.

The wheat’s climbing up to their belt buckles, the thick patches of golden brown promising solid yields amid a season of relatively high prices. Now, if only farmers could get their combines in the fields. “I have no idea what it’ll do,” said Charles Beeghley, itching to harvest his 80 acres along the east side of U.S. Highway 59 south of Lawrence. “Average would be all right.” Yes, average would be fine. But as Douglas County farmers wait for their rain-soaked fields to dry out this week, they’re cau-

tiously holding out hope that the area’s No. 3 crop might turn in a strong performance at the elevator. With prices hovering Monday at $7.35 a bushel, ag observers see a chance for farmers to do OK this year despite having paid rising prices for fertilizer, fuel and other inputs that drive up the costs of production. “I think it’s going to be good,” said Bill Wood, director of K-State Research and Extension in Douglas County. “Just driving around the county, it appears to be in pretty good shape. We haven’t had many disease problems. We’ve had pretty good weather. The fields Please see WHEAT, page 2A

Corn and beans look promising Douglas County’s two major crops are barely in the ground or just growing up, but already they’re showing plenty of promise. “The corn looks pretty good,” said Bill Wood, director of K-State Research and Extension in Douglas County. “It likes some of this rain. It also likes sunshine. This last week, if you were standing in the corn you could just about hear it growing — it was stretching up.” Farmers planted their corn on schedule in early May, and only a few fields are lacking

the soybeans they’ve been waiting for. Such crops are harvested in the fall. Last year Douglas County farmers had 25,000 acres of corn and 41,000 acres of soybeans, compared with just 1,900 set aside for wheat — an especially low total blamed on a late fall harvest in 2009, which had postponed wheat planting. Average yields per acre in the county, during the past four years: Corn, 118 bushels per acre; soybeans, 33.6 bushels per acre; wheat, 32.25 bushels per acre.

There’s at least one City Hall leader betting on a property tax increase for 2012. Lawrence Mayor Aron Cromwell said Monday that he hasn’t yet seen a proposal that would allow the city to responsibly avoid an increase in its property tax mill levy. Based on preliminary numbers, 2012 Cromwell city revenues are expected to be about $1.2 million short of expected city expenses. “We’re faced with a budget that will demand either a substantial cut in city services or a mill levy increase,” Cromwell said. “I’m not comfortable cutting the services we would have to cut.” City commissioners will dive into the city’s 2012 budget process this afternoon at a 4 p.m. study session at City Hall. The study session will include a presentation from the City Manager’s office that details 11 scenarios under which the city’s mill levy would need to increase for 2012. The scenarios contemplate a mill levy increase ranging from 1.7 mills to 4.6 mills. For reference sake, a 1-mill increase would add $23 in taxes to a $200,000 home. Please see BUDGET, page 4A

Group to start mulling how to consolidate schools Members to get together for first time Thursday By Mark Fagan mfagan@ljworld.com

Members of a new community group will be getting a clear sense of direction this week as they start work on recommendations for how to shrink the roster of elementary schools in the Lawrence school district. Whether their assigned tasks result in new directions in the coming months remains to be seen. Members of the volunteer group — formal name: Cen-

tral and East Lawrence Elementary School Consolidation Working Group — will assemble for an organizational meeting at 7 p.m. Thursday at district headquarters, 110 McDonald Drive. Members will meet and start building the mutual trust they’ll need to compile a list of recommendations. “I don’t want there to be any misconceptions about what the working group is supposed to do,” said Rick Doll, district superintendent, who appointed the group’s 26 members and who will lead the first meeting. “It’s fairly simple. The board has charged them with: How do you consolidate the six east and central Lawrence

“

The board has charged them with: How do you consolidate the six east and central Lawrence schools into three or four schools? It’s not whether. They’re very clear about that. It’s how do we consolidate.” — Rick Doll, Lawrence school district superintendent schools into three or four schools? “It’s not whether. They’re very clear about that. It’s how do we consolidate.” Come July 11, four new members will join the Lawrence school board, replacing four members who helped form the working group and including the two leaders of the Lawrence Ele-

mentary School Facility Vision Task Force whose work led to creation of the working group. Of the four incoming members, at least two have questioned the responsibility given to the group, including Rick Ingram, who received the most votes in the April board election. Randy Masten, who fin-

ished third, said Monday that while the working group “is a good thing,” its stated charge lacks the flexibility necessary for the community to come up with the best plan for financially challenged schools. The working group could identify other viable options to consolidation — such as identifying other sources of funding — to bolster district operations. “There are other variables in the equation,” Masten said. “It’s not a foregone conclusion that we’re going to close any set number of schools. We’re looking for information and input.” Shannon Kimball, who Please see SCHOOLS, page 4A

City approves Iron Chef-style competition for 4th of July By Paul Koepp Special to the Journal-World Energy smart: The Journal-World makes the most of renewable resources. www.b-e-f.org

Get ready for some fireworks in your mouth. City officials gave the green light Monday for an Iron Chef-style competition and party to be hosted by downtown restaurant Teller’s at this year’s Fourth of July celebration in Watson Park. Parks and Recreation officials met with restaurant owner Tom

Wilson on Monday to hash out concerns over the footprint the extravaganza could leave on the park. “Ultimately we just want to make sure the park looks the same when they leave as it did when they arrived,” said Tim Laurent, the city’s facilities operations supervisor. Wilson agreed to find parking spaces on the street for a large refrigerated truck containing food

products instead of driving it into the park, Laurent said. The 2,000square-foot enclosure will also hold stadium seating for viewing the fireworks show put on by the Lawrence Jaycees. The Teller’s event, featuring an attendee-judged competition among the restaurant’s three chefs, is part of an attempt to make the annual celebration bigger and better. The chefs will put together dishes, and guests can

buy a ticket for all three chefs’ plates for $20 and then vote on the winner. The Lawrence Originals, a group of 21 locally owned restaurants, will host the festival in Watson Park for the third straight year from 2 p.m. until the fireworks display at 9:45 p.m., including food booths, family activities and live music. — Reporter Paul Koepp can be reached at 832-7217.

Lt. Col. Kermit Allison Mangun Visitation for Kermit A. Mangun, 90, will be held at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, June 25, at the Lakeview Village Heritage Building, 9100 Park Street, Lenexa; memorial service to follow at 10:30. Mr. Mangun died Saturday, June 18, 2011, at the Lakeview Village Care Center, Lenexa. He was born on Aug. 13, 1920, in Kansas City, Kan., the son of Lloyd and Eva Mangun. He graduated from Wyandotte High School and the Kansas City Kansas Community College. Later he received his BS degree in Chemistry and Biology from the University of Missouri, Kansas City. He continued his education in microbiology and management training. He was a pilot in the U.S. Air Force for 23 years. Five years of that time was on active duty during World War II and the Korean War. In WW II he was a flight instructor at Randolph Field, San Antonio, Texas, Independence, Kan., and Laughlin Field, Del Rio, Texas. He was also the personal pilot to the Commanding General of the Fourth Army, while stationed at Brookfield, Texas. He was recalled for the Korean War in the Strategic Air Command (SAC) at Biggs Air Force Base, El Paso, Texas and the Military Air Transport Service (MATS) at Wheelus Air Force Base, Tripoli, Libya, North Africa. After the war he worked as a pilot for TWA and Western Airlines for two years. Kermit’s love for flying continued for more than 60 years as he logged over 6,000 hours of flying time. In recent years, fellow TWA pilot, Nelson Krueger, became a special friend and took Kermit flying every year for his birthday. Their last flight together was on his 90th birthday. Mr. Mangun began working for the Kansas City Kansas Board of Public Utilities in 1947 and retired as the director of the water processing plant in 1985. During that time he was responsible for the water processing facility and for the water used in chemical engineering at the BPU Power Plant. He was a lifetime member of the American Water Works Association and served as Chairman of the Kansas Section from 19721973. He was the first Director from Kansas to serve on the International Board of Directors of the

AWWA from 19791982. His presentations before the Kansas State Legislature and hearMangun ings in Washington, D.C. concerning legislation to set drinking water standards for the state of Kansas (Mandatory Operators Certification Bill, signed into law by Governor Robert Bennett ), were acknowledged when he was awarded The George Warren Fuller Award 1979, the highest honor given by the AWWA. He also received the Operators Meritorious Service Award from the AWWA and the Board of Public Utilities presented him with the Outstanding Career Performance Award in 1985. He was a member and ordained Elder of Western Highlands and First Presbyterian Churches in Kansas City, Kan. He served on the advisory board of the KCK Presbyterian Manor from 19851987. As a member of the Lakeview Village Chapel he served as a Eucharistic minister and as a Sacristan. After retiring Mr. Mangun spent over 20 years as a member and volunteer at the National Airline History Museum. He enjoyed restoring and flying planes such as the TWA Constellation and the Martin 404. Throughout his life Kermit “never met a stranger” and could fix just about anything that needing fixing. These two traits made him a favorite with his family, his church and his retirement community. He married Carol Klemp on June 12, 1949. She survives. Other survivors include a daughter, Connie Sollars and husband Gary, Lawrence; a son, Kendall, Denver, Colorado; two grandchildren, Allison Sollars, Salina; Drew and his wife, Tina Sollars, Olathe; two great-grandchildren, Julia and Frederick Sollars; and an identical twin, Quentin, Manchester, Conn. He was preceded in death by his parents and two sisters.

Enforcement on I-70 to be increased for 1 day TOPEKA — Law enforcement officers in Kansas and Missouri announced Monday they will conduct a one-day “enhanced enforcement period” on Interstate 70. “Interstate 70 is one of the busiest interstates in the nation, especially when families take to the road on vacation,” said Deb Miller, Kansas Secretary of Transportation. Kansas Highway Patrol Superintendent Col. Ernest Garcia said, “This special enforcement enhances our traffic safety mission, and our goal is to reduce deaths and

injuries.” I-70 in Kansas carries anywhere from 7,600 vehicles a day near the western border to more than 72,000 in the Kansas City area, according to state travel statistics. In 2009, the latest year for which figures are available, nearly 2,000 crashes occurred on I-70 in Kansas, resulting in 20 fatalities and 579 injuries. Officials didn’t specify a date for the enhanced enforcement effort but said it will be conducted toward the end of June.

look thick and lush. “Of course, like any crop, that can fool you once you get a combine out there.” And that hasn’t happened yet. With much of the county having absorbed 3 inches of rain over the weekend, area farmers haven’t been able to get their combines in their fields; the most optimistic projections call for cutting late this week, if the weather holds, and only then will hopes be dashed or confirmed. “There’s no way of knowing till we actually cut it,” said Verlyn Gilges, who works in the office at Baldwin Feed Co. Even so, guarded optimism endures in the county. While corn dominates production volume and soybeans cover the most acres, wheat still captures a special place in local agriculture. It’s the first crop of the year to be harvested, and its performance can grow hopes for success later this fall when the relatively vast fields of corn and beans are poised for cutting, storage and sales. Wheat had been selling for $3.90 a bushel a year ago, before jumping up to as high as $8.60 within the past couple months. Prices for corn ILEEN ARTPENCE and beans are up, too.

44 killed in passenger jet crash A passenger jet crashed in heavy fog and burst into flames late Monday on a highway in northwestern Russia, just short of a runway whose high-intensity lights had failed, killing 44 people, officials said. Eight people survived the crash. The Tu-134 plane, belonging to the RusAir airline, was en route from Moscow to the city of Petrozavodsk, an Emergencies Ministry spokeswoman, Oksana Semyonova, told The Associated Press. Her ministry said in a website statement that 44 people were killed. Eight survivors, including a 10year-old boy and a female flight attendant, were hospitalized in critical condition in Petrozavodsk. Semyonova said the plane went down on its final approach to the airport in Petrozavodsk, making a crash landing about a mile short of the runway, breaking apart and then bursting into flames. It was unclear if the plane had attempted to land on the road, or just happened to fall there, she said. Petrozavodsk is in Karelia province, near the Finnish border, about 400 miles northwest of Moscow. 2 | ARIZONA

Emails: KDHE, Sunflower had close ties —————

Agency used company’s answers as its own in permit process for coal plant KANSAS CITY , M O. (AP) — The Kansas Department of Health and Environment allowed operators of the Sunflower Electric Co. to answer public questions about the coal-fired electric plant that were intended to help shape permit requirements for the facility, according to a newspaper report. Emails between KDHE and Sunflower showed KDHE, which has promised an impartial review of the permit for the

proposed plant, allowed Sunflower to respond to questions from the public, and then passed some of the answers off as its own, according to The Kansas City Star. Those questions and answers were supposed to help shape the plant permit, which will determine emissions releases for the plant. KDHE said they couldn’t comment because of a pending appeal of the permit filed by the Sierra Club, which opposes the

plant because of its potential for pollution. In a statement, Haysbased Sunflower also said it could not comment at length because of the ongoing litigation over its $2.8 billion project but that it had done nothing wrong. The Star reported that during the months the department was writing the 275-page permit, KDHE allowed Sunflower to respond to questions from the public and then passed some of the answers off as their own.

McCain defends remark on cause of fires It always comes back to illegal immigration in Arizona — even when the state is on fire. Sen. John McCain on Monday defended a statement he made over the weekend that there was “substantial evidence” border crossers were partly responsible for wildfires in the state. Two other Arizona Republicans stood with him. But activists swiftly jumped on McCain’s statement as “scapegoating.” Authorities say the three major blazes in Arizona were started by humans, but they don’t know any more details. The debate raged as authorities went through neighborhoods Monday to examine damage from a wildfire that burned into a heavily-populated area near the U.S.-Mexico border. About 10,000 people remained evacuated on the outskirts of Sierra Vista about 15 miles north of the border where the so-called Monument fire swept off a mountain and destroyed 14 homes and four businesses Sunday. The blaze was about 27 percent contained as of Monday. The fire has now destroyed 58 homes and burned more than 40 square miles since it started about a week ago.

Syria’s president promised a national dialogue Monday to consider political reforms, but his vague overtures to a pro-democracy uprising fell flat as protesters took to the streets shouting “Liar!” and demanding his ouster. In only his third public appearance since the revolt erupted in March, Bashar Assad returned to a nowfamiliar refrain: He blamed the unrest on “saboteurs,” offered modest potential reforms, but gave no sign he’d move toward ending the Assad family’s political domination. He clearly intends to try to ride out the wave of protests, showing the steely determination that has kept the Assads in power for 40 years. But the mobilized opposition appeared to be digging in as well, bracing for a showdown in one of the deadliest uprisings of the Arab Spring. “We want only one thing: Toppling the regime!” read one banner among marchers in several cities Monday.

Ex-leader, wife convicted in absentia

Lawyer: Mubarak may have cancer Ousted Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak was treated last year for cancer in his gallbladder and pancreas, and may be suffering a recurrence that spread to his stomach, his defense lawyer said Monday. However, two senior Egyptian medical officials — one of them the head of Mubarak’s team of doctors — said he does not have the disease. Mubarak, 83, has been hospitalized since early April. He is set to face trial in August on charges he ordered the killings of protesters during the 18-day uprising that ousted him on Feb. 11. A conviction could carry the death penalty and activists suspect he may be using health problems as a ruse to sway public opinion and perhaps even win amnesty.

Tunisia’s former ruler and his wife were convicted in absentia on embezzlement and other charges on Monday after $27 million in jewels and public funds were found in one of his palaces. Five months after being forced from power, Zine El Abidine Ben Ali and Leila Trabelsi were sentenced to 35 years each in prison and fined tens of millions of dollars in the first of what is sure to be a long string of trials. However, the trial in some ways failed to live up to its billing. With the 74-year-old Ben Ali not present for his judgment, there was a sense of frustration among many. The couple went into exile on Jan. 14 in Saudi Arabia, which failed to respond to an extradition request. Monday’s convictions followed a day-long hearing before the Tunis criminal court. The ex-president was fined about $36 million and his wife 41 million dinars for embezzlement of public funds and misappropriation.

TOPEKA — Gov. Sam Brownback on Monday appointed five businessmen to serve on a commission that could have a big impact on the lives of thousands of Kansans. In naming his appointees to the 13-member Kansas Public Employees Retirement System Study Commission, Brownback also reiterated his desire to move toward a 401(k)-style plan for all new state employees and added that he will make that a top priority of his administration when the Legislature meets next year. The commission will consider alternative public employee retirement plans, including 401(k)-style plans, or hybrid plans that could include the current defined benefits system. “Independent analysts have found the structure of KPERS remains unsustainable,” Brownback said. “The commission needs to protect existing beneficiaries and move toward a defined contribution system for all new state employees in order to restore balance and security to Please see KPERS, page 5A

Film crews to document Take Charge Challenge “

By Christine Metz

cmetz@ljworld.com

For the past five months, residents in Lawrence and 15 other communities across Kansas diligently have changed light bulbs, lined up energy audits for their homes and installed programmable thermostats. Those efforts have generated interest from across the country. This week, two film crews will be in Lawrence and other parts of the state to document the Take Charge Challenge, a program that pits cities against one another to see which ones can conserve the most energy. On Monday, a group from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory was in Lawrence for interviews with the Climate and Energy Project, the nonprofit organization that is coordinat-

ing the Take Charge Challenge, and leaders with Trinity Episcopal Church, which has included sustainability as part of its mission. Today, another film crew will arrive in Kansas. This one is shooting material for a PBS documentary that will be the third in a series of three dubbed “Earth: The Operators Manual.” “It’s a really exciting opportunity to showcase the great, great work that Kansans are doing with the challenge and how they have taken ownership of it and made it a spirited competition,” said Dorothy Barnett, who is director of energy and transmission with the Climate and Energy Project. Both crews will be filming activities at a Take Charge Challenge community event in Baldwin City this evening. The Take Charge Challenge is

options for the future. The first in the three-part series aired in April. The second piece is in post production and scheduled for the early part of 2012. While the first two documentaries had an international scope, the third is focusing on work in the United States. Along with the Take Charge Challenge, the documentary will feature programs in Fort Worth, Texas, Portland, Ore., Baltimore and Alaska.

All these activities I’m sending my kids to this summer are getting expensive. Can’t I catch a break somehow? Can I get a bailout?

No, but you might qualify for a tax break. Working parents who must find someone to care for their children during summer vacation may be able to use the cost of summer day camp to qualify for a federal tax credit, said Michael Devine, a regional spokesman for the IRS. Overnight camps do not qualify, but day camps that specialize in a particular activity — such as computers or soccer — do. “The Child and Dependent Care Credit is for expenses incurred to care for a child, spouse or dependent, so you, and your spouse if you are married filing jointly, could work or look for work,” Devine said. Up to $3,000 of unreimbursed expenses paid for one qualifying individual or $6,000 for two or more qualifying individuals can be used to figure the credit, he said. A qualifying person is a dependent child, age 12 or younger when the care was provided. For more information, see IRS Publication 503, Child and Dependent Care Expenses, available at IRS.gov or by calling (800) 829-3676.

KU hires dean as new vice provost By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

Kansas University hired its dean of graduate studies as its next senior vice provost for academic affairs. Sara Rosen had been serving as dean of graduate studies since 2007. “Sara has a proven record of advancing KU’s mission of teaching, research and service to the state of Kansas,” said KU Provost Jeff Vitter in a statement. “Her experience as dean of graduate studies and her background as a professor and department chair make her an ideal candidate to lead major academic initiatives here at KU.” KU’s search to fill the position was limited to internal candidates. Rosen will be paid $200,000 per year in her new role. “What really excited me about the position is where KU is right now in the midst of the strategic planning process,” Rosen said. She said the plan will cover all kinds of efforts, from new general education requirements to how to fund doctoral education.

“I hope to be able to help the provost bring his vision to fruition with the strategic plan,” Rosen said. Rosen A search for the dean of graduate studies will begin shortly, and Joshua Rosenbloom, associate vice chancellor for research, will serve as interim dean of graduate studies until the search is completed. Rosen replaces Barbara Romzek, who has served as interim vice provost for academic affairs since August 2009. Romzek will remain on the faculty as a professor in the department of public administration. Rosen joined KU in 1991 as an assistant professor of linguistics and served as department chair from 2000 to 2007, when she became dean of graduate studies. — Higher education reporter Andy Hyland can be reached at 832-6388.

Utility rate increases to be discussed

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Here’s a look at some of the issues driving a potential tax increase: ● An expanded Lawrence Public Librar y: Voters approved that project, so the mill levy increase will happen. Actually, voters blessed a 2.0-mill increase, but City Hall leaders are proposing 1.7 mills for 2012 and then the full 2.0 mills for 2013. That’s a recognition that the library won’t open until 2013, and thus the full amount won’t be needed until then. ● Increased compensation for city employees: Ten of the 11 scenarios included about $380,000 — or 0.4 mill — for increased compensation for city employees. ● Employee health care: The city estimates it needs about $700,000 — or 0.8 mill — to maintain its existing health care plan for employees. Currently city employees don’t pay a premium for their health insurance, although they do pay if they add their spouse or families to the plan. But commissioners are considering changing plans. The new plan would have higher premiums and deductibles for employees. ● Police detective: The city currently has a detective position that is funded largely through grant money. That grant is set to expire, but the city would like to keep the detective position. That would require $100,000 or about 0.1 mill. ● More police officers: New police Chief Tarik Khatib has told city commissioners that he believes the department needs more officers. One plan would call for one detective and four new police officers at a cost of $400,000, or 0.5 mill. Another option would add one detective, three sergeants and five officers at a price of $800,000, or 1 mill. A third option would add one detective, three sergeants and 10 officers at a price of $1.2 million, or 1.5 mills. ● Radios: The city is under a federal mandate to get all of its radios for police, fire, public works and the utilities department operating under

Increases to the city’s trash, water and sewer fees also will be up for discussion at a City Commission budget study session today. City Manager David Corliss will recommend that average residential water and sewer bills increase by a total of 3.7 percent for 2012. He’s recommending that trash rates increase by 2.7 percent — or an extra 39 cents per month. The dollar amount for the water and sewer rate increase will vary dependa new band of frequencies. Radio replacement has been on the city’s to-do list for a number of years, but now the deadline is set to become an issue in 2012. To replace all the radios would be $2.08 million, or 2.5 mills. The city does have one option for avoiding a property tax increase. The city has its version of a savings account — called a general fund balance — that has a little more than $12 million in it. Cromwell said he was open to using some of that money to pay for one-time expenses — such as the radios — but not for ongoing expenses.

Spending cuts And, of course, there are spending cuts. Corliss also will provide a list of areas where expenditures could be cut, although he’s not recommending them. Among the items that Corliss lists are: ● Cut social ser vice agency funding by 50 percent. That would save the city about $280,000. The cut in funding would hit wellknown social service programs, such as the Boys and Girls Club, the Ballard Center, the Lawrence Community Shelter, the Lawrence Arts Center and others. ● Reduce the city’s street paving program. The city in 2011 is expected to spend about $2 million on milling and overlaying city streets. Corliss said the city could choose to do less of that in 2012 but noted that improving streets was a top priority of residents in the recent Citizens Survey. ● Put a freeze on vehicle

ing on how much water a household uses. But the city estimates an average user of water will see an increase of $1.40 per month. At the study session, commissioners will not take any final action on the rate increases. Commissioners will approve the increases as part of the overall 2012 budget, which will be finalized in August. The study session will be at 4 p.m. today at City Hall, 6 E. Sixth St. purchases. As currently crafted, the 2012 budget includes about $200,000 to purchase eight police cars. The commission could choose to push those purchases off for a year. ● Delay filling vacant police positions. The department currently has f ive vacant police officer positions. It has plans to start hiring those positions later this year. Corliss said the city could push that off and save about $290,000 this year, which could then be used to help offset the gap in 2012. ● Closure and reduced hours. Back in 2009, Corliss proposed several cuts that could be made if the city ended up losing about $1 million in state funding. The reduction in state funding didn’t materialize, but anger over the proposed cutbacks at City Hall did. Those proposed cuts included closure of the Prairie Park Nature Center, reduced hours for the city’s swimming pools and other recreation facilities, and defunding of the city’s crossing guard program. In a recent memo, Corliss said commissioners could consider those list of cuts again, but acknowledged that they were “highly unpopular” among the public. Cromwell said he doesn’t think any of the possible cuts will get much traction with commissioners. “I don’t think anybody believes there is anything on that list that makes any sense to cut,” the mayor said. — City reporter Chad Lawhorn can be reached at 832-6362.

than consolidation would lead to the process “spinning its wheels,” Kimball said, when the task force already had spent nine months concluding that consolidation was the best way to provide the best education for students within financial constraints. “We’ve already had that discussion,” Kimball said. Bob Byers, who has two years remaining on his board term, fully expects some incoming board members to bring up concerns about the task force process, and that’s fine with him. But he plans to push for a vote, so that the board can get on with other issues without having to discuss it at every subsequent board meeting. The state will continue cutting financing for schools, he said, so there’s no sense holding out hope for additional revenue to come in. “We don’t have a choice,” Byers said. “The choice is: We continue looking at what we need to do to streamline, or we streamline. We either close schools or lay off teachers. It’s a simple thing.”

BRIEFLY Ottawa police make arrest in 2000 case Ottawa police on Monday said officers used a DNA match to arrest a 51-year-old Arizona man in connection with a 2000 kidnapping and sexual battery cold case. Police identified the suspect charged in the case on a warrant issued by the Franklin County Attorney’s Office. According to police, the 16year-old victim reported she was abducted the evening of Feb. 19, 2000, from the parking lot at Walmart, 2101 South Princeton Road in Ottawa. She said the assailant had forced her into a car and drove her to another location where he assaulted her and then drove her to another place and assaulted her before she was released. During 2000, Ottawa detectives investigated possible suspects and collected forensic evidence before exhausting all possible leads at the time. But recently the Kansas Bureau of Investigation performed a search in a national DNA database and discovered a match that linked to the suspect. Ottawa police interviewed the suspect in Arizona in January, and later the Franklin Count Attorney’s office issued a warrant on charges of kidnapping and aggravated sexual battery, according to police. The suspect was arrested Friday and is currently being held on $500,000 bond in the Franklin County Adult Detention Center. The Journal-World generally does not name suspects in sex crimes unless they have been convicted.

Man charged with abusing 5-year-old Douglas County prosecutors on Monday filed an aggravated criminal sodomy charge against a 31-year-old man accused of sexually abusing a 5-year-old boy earlier this year. Lawrence police arrested the man Saturday after initial investigation in the case that began April 24, said Sgt. Matt

Sarna, a police spokesman. The boy’s mother alleged that the suspect had inappropriate sexual relations with the boy in a south-central Lawrence residence earlier that day. At the time, the suspect was the boyfriend of the boy’s mother, Sarna said. According to court records, the case was filed under Jessica’s law, and, if convicted, the man could face 25 years to life in prison. Pro-tem Judge James George set the man’s bond at $75,000 during a hearing Monday and ordered him to have no contact with the boy or the boy’s mother if he gets out of jail. Assistant district attorney Eve Kemple said it didn’t appear the man had any criminal history, but she said prosecutors believed the mother allowed him to be around the child after the incident was initially reported to police. The defendant told George he returned to the Lawrence residence after not hearing anything for several weeks from law enforcement, but he said he had not been around the boy. The suspect had a Topeka address when he was arrested, according to Douglas County Jail records. The Journal-World generally does not identify sex crime suspects unless they are convicted.

Storm causes accidents, outages Low visibility caused havoc for some drivers during Monday night’s storm. A vehicle jumped a curb at 23rd Street and Learnard Avenue and hit a tree, causing a large limb to block the westbound lane of 23rd Street about 9:30 p.m., said Lawrence police officers on the scene. City maintenance crews were clearing the limb about 11:15 p.m. Two vehicles were involved in another accident on Clinton Parkway near Inverness Drive, where a vehicle hit a light pole and then was hit by a second vehicle. The pole was blocking the eastbound lane of Clinton Parkway around 11:30 p.m. At one point during the storm, nearly 600 Westar Energy customers in Douglas

County were without power, according to the company’s website.

Man charged with trying to set fire to mobile home By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

Douglas County prosecutors have filed one charge against a 32-year-old Lawrence man currently on parole, accusing him of trying to set a North Lawrence mobile home on fire on Saturday while people, including three small children, were inside. “Thankfully nobody was harmed, but this could have been serious,” Assistant District Attorney Eve Kemple said during a hearing Monday. Prosecutors filed one count of aggravated arson against William David Charleston. Lawrence police said last weekend they arrested Charleston as a suspect Saturday morning for attempting to set fire to the mobile home in the 800 block of Walnut Street. Sgt. Matt Sarna, a Lawrence police spokesman, said officers were called at 7 a.m. Saturday to the mobile

home, and a 24-year-old Lawrence man alleged that the suspect, Charleston, had tried to light his residence on Charleston f ire. Sarna said Charleston was an acquaintance of the alleged victim. Off icers later found Charleston in the area and arrested him. According to a police report, Charleston was suspected of being under the influence of alcohol. The report also listed $1,000 in damage to the mobile home. Off icers located items including burnt strips of wood, a paper matchbook, burnt cardboard and a lighter in the area. According to Douglas County Jail records, Charleston also had a Kansas Department of Corrections warrant out for his arrest.

According to KDOC records, Charleston has been under supervision since Aug. 4 for a conviction in a 2008 aggravated battery case in Douglas County. He had spent one year in prison. Kemple said Charleston had extensive criminal history dating back to 1991 when he was a juvenile and that he was also convicted of aggravated escape from custody in 2005 in Johnson County. Prosecutors called him a flight risk, and asked pro-tem Judge James George to increase his bond from $25,000 to $75,000 on Monday. Charleston said that because of his KDOC warrant he likely wouldn’t be able to be freed from jail if he posted bond. “I could care less what you set my bond at,” Charleston told George. — Reporter George Diepenbrock can be reached at 832-7144.

Defendant in shooting case says he was misled during plea talks By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

Major Edwards, a defendant seeking to withdraw his plea in connection with the 2006 death of Lawrence hip-hop artist Anthony “Clacc” Vital, claims he was not aware in 2010 he was pleading guilty to intentionally killing someone. “(Edwards) has maintained from the beginning that he did not murder the victim,” defense attorney Napoleon Crews wrote in a supplemental motion filed earlier this month. Edwards, 31, of Lawrence, pleaded guilty in March 2010 to voluntary manslaughter for his involvement in Vital’s death. He was also the state’s key witness in the first-degree murder trial this year of codefendant Durrell Jones, 24, of Kansas City, Kan. Edwards testified he saw Jones shoot Vital west of Lawrence on Oct. 15, 2006, to collect on a drug debt. Edwards testified he felt remorse for leading Jones to Vital that night.

Jones’ defense attorney has attacked Edwards’ credibility and accused him of trying to pin the murder on his client. The jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict in Jones’ trial, and a new one is scheduled for August. In May, Edwards asked for Chief District Judge Robert Fairchild to withdraw his guilty plea alleging he was “misled, coerced, or unfairly taken advantage of during plea negotiations.” Edwards has also alleged attorneys promised he would receive a seven- to eight-year prison sentence but instead was facing 18 years in prison. Douglas County prosecutors have said they don’t see a basis for Edwards to withdraw his guilty plea. Crews in his motion said negotiations about a sentence for Edwards continued after his March plea, and he attached letters Edwards wrote to his defense attorney at the time, Kay Huff, who removed herself from the case when she was appointed to become a Douglas County

BRIEFLY Woman gets probation for role in shooting A Douglas County judge on Monday sentenced an 18-yearold Topeka woman to serve three years on probation for her role in an October shooting outside a Lawrence apartment complex. Rylie R. Musick in March pleaded no-contest to two counts of conspiracy to commit aggravated robbery related to an Oct. 11 shooting of a Lawrence man in the 2500 block of Redbud Lane. Prosecutors accused Musick of riding in a van with the Musick victim and another man as a decoy to lead co-defendants to rob the victim at his residence. District Judge Kay Huff agreed with terms of a plea agreement to sentence Musick to three years on probation, requiring the defendant to complete evaluations for drug and alcohol abuse and mental health. She could also have to submit to random tests for drugs. “Obviously Miss Musick would have a significant hammer held over her head for 36 months,” said David Melton, a chief assistant Douglas County district attorney. She faces 32 months in prison if she fails to comply with her probation terms. Musick was the fourth defendant to be sentenced in connection with the shooting. Christopher Bush, 20, of Topeka, entered a plea to shooting

the man and was sentenced to more than five years in prison. Desmond Jackson, 19, who drove Bush to the apartment, and Ashley Halstead, 23, both of Topeka, were also sentenced to serve three years on probation.

Miniature Horse Club show set for Sunday The Kansas Miniature Horse Club will have its 22nd annual Fun Show starting at 9 a.m. Sunday at the Leavenworth County Fairgrounds in Tonganoxie. Some of the events planned are races, jumping and cart driving, as well as showmanship and other events. The Have a Heart animal rescue group will serve food as a fundraiser. No admission fee will be charged for the show.

district judge in January. According to a transcript of the 2010 plea hearing, the two sides agreed to ask for a standard range sentence of 18 years in prison. Crews said prosecutors — in exchange for testimony against Jones — in a May 2010 email to Huff mentioned being willing to ask Fairchild to cut three years from an 18year sentence, while he could qualify for an additional twoyear reduction for good behavior in prison plus credit for already serving four years in custody at the time awaiting sentencing. Crews also filed an undated document — signed by prosecutors, Huff and Edwards — that mentioned recommending a four-year reduction in his 18-year sentence instead. Fairchild has scheduled a July 13 hearing on the defense motion to withdraw the plea and ask for a jury trial. — Reporter George Diepenbrock can be reached at 832-7144.

U.S. SUPREME COURT

Sex bias case vs. Wal-Mart blocked By Mark Sherman Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court blocked the largest sex-discrimination lawsuit in U.S. history on Monday, siding with WalMart and against up to 1.6 million female workers in a decision that makes it harder to mount large-scale bias claims against the nation’s other huge companies, too. The justices all agreed that the lawsuit against Wal-Mart Stores Inc. could not proceed as a class action in its current form, reversing a decision by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco. By a 5-4 vote along ideological lines, the court also said there were too many women in too many jobs at Wal-Mart to wrap into one lawsuit. “Because respondents provide no convincing proof of a companywide discriminatory pay and promotion policy, we have concluded that they have not established the existence of any common question,” Justice Antonin Scalia said in his majority opinion.Theodore Boutrous Jr., Wal-Mart’s lawyer, said the decision also would affect pending classaction claims against Costco and others. Companies as varied as the big Wall Street firm Goldman-Sachs & Co., electronics giant Toshiba America Inc., and Cigna Healthcare Inc. also face class-action claims from women they employ.“This is an extremely important victory not just for Wal-Mart, but for all companies that do business in the United States,” Boutrous said. The assessment was similar on the other side of the issue. Marcia D. Greenberger, co-president of the National Women’s Law Center, said, “The court has told employers that they can rest easy, knowing that the bigger and more powerful they are, the less likely their employees

High court bars climate change lawsuit WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court unanimously ruled out a federal lawsuit Monday by states and conservation groups trying to force cuts in greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. The court said that the authority to seek reductions in emissions rests with the Environmental Protection Agency, not the courts. EPA said in December that it will issue new regulations by next year to reduce power plants’ emissions of carbon dioxide, the chief greenhouse will be able to join together to secure their rights.” With 2.1 million workers in more than 8,000 stores worldwide, WalMart could have faced billions of dollars in damages if it had had to answer claims by the huge group of women. Now the handful of employees who brought the case may pursue their claims on their own, with much less money at stake and less pressure on Wal-Mart to settle. Two of the named plaintiffs, Christine Kwapnoski and Betty Dukes, vowed to continue their fight, even as they expressed disappointment about the ruling. “We still are determined to go forward to present our case in court. We believe we will prevail there,” said Dukes, a greeter at the Walmart in Pittsburg, Calif. “All I have to say is when I go back to work tomorrow, I’m going to let them know we are still fighting,” said Kwapnoski. an assistant manager at a Sam’s Club in Concord, Calif.

But the administration’s actions have come under criticism in Congress, where the Republican-controlled House has passed a bill to strip the EPA from using the Clean Air Act to regulate global warming gases. The measure failed in the Senate, but a majority there indicated they would back reining in EPA in some way. had dealt a fatal blow to their initial plan. In a statement, Wal-Mart said, “The court today unanimously rejected class certification and, as the majority made clear, the plaintiffs’ claims were worlds away from showing a companywide discriminatory pay and promotion policy.” The high court’s majority agreed with Wal-Mart’s argument that being forced to defend the treatment of female employees regardless of the jobs they hold or where they work is unfair. Scalia said there needed to be common elements tying together “literally millions of employment decisions at once.” He said that in the lawsuit against the nation’s largest private employer, “That is entirely absent here.” Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, writing for the court’s four liberal justices, said there was more than enough to unite the claims. “Wal-Mart’s delegation of discretion over pay and promotions is a policy uniform throughout all stores,” Ginsburg said. The other women on the court, Justices Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor, and Justice Stephen Breyer joined Ginsburg’s opinion.

THE MISSOURI RIVER IN ST. JOSEPH, MO., is seen backed up underneath the Remington Nature Center Monday. During the next few days, the Missouri River is expected to rise as much as 5 to 7 feet above flood stage in much of Nebraska and Iowa, and as much as 10 feet over flood stage in parts of Missouri. It could stay above flood stage into August.

Sand supply running low in flood areas

ST. JOSEPH, MO. — The supply of sand used to fill hundreds of thousands of bags needed to f ight off the swollen Missouri River is running low after weeks of relentless flooding. It’s a problem that could get worse as the river is expected to remain high through August, making it unsafe to gather sand from the easiest place to get it: the river itself. The sand shortage comes as the bloated river rose to within 18 inches of forcing the shutdown of Cooper Nuclear Plant at Brownville, Neb. It stopped and ebbed slightly Monday, a reprieve caused by levee breaches in northwest Missouri. Flooding is a concern all along the river because of the massive amounts of water that the Army Corps of Engineers has released from six dams. Any significant rain could worsen the flooding especially if it falls in Nebraska, Iowa or Missouri, which are downstream of the dams. During the next few days, the river is expected to rise as much as 5 to 7 feet above flood stage in much of Nebraska and Iowa, and as much as 10 feet over flood BUSINESS AT A GLANCE stage in parts of Missouri.

weakened areas of levees to prevent seepage. “You need lots of sand, lots of sand,” Kneuvean said. In a pinch, other materials can be used — everything from gravel to lime products. “Unfortunately, though, when some of those get wet they harden up and it decreases the flexibility of sand bags and it basically forms concrete,” Kneuvean said. Dan Sturm, the fire chief in Hamburg, Iowa, joked that his community deserves blame for thinning sand supplies. “We probably took all the sand,” Sturm said. Hamburg has filled at least 250,000 sandbags and dumped truckloads into fabric-lined metal-frame baskets to create a makeshift barrier to hold back water pouring through a breached Missouri River levee. Downstream, St. Joseph has filled 365,000 sandbags to reinforce low spots on levees and protect city buildings and the airport at Rosecrans Air National Guard base, said public works director Bruce Woody. The local supply of sand quickly ran out after flooding began in St. Joseph, and the river was moving too swiftly to allow for dredging, Buchanan County emergency director Bill Brinton said. The county had to ship in sand from Topeka, Kan., and Kansas City, Mo. Atchison, Kan., also had to purchase sand from the Kansas City area, about an hour’s drive away, city manager Trey Cocking said.

DAYTON, OHIO — A woman who told an Ohio airport worker about a bomb, which ended up halting flights at Washington Reagan National Airport, said she had received a message from God. No explosives were found Sunday aboard a plane that flew from Dayton to Washington, D.C. The Washington airport was shut down for about 20 minutes. Dayton airport director Terrence Slaybaugh tells the Dayton Daily News that the 54year-old Shelbyville, Ky., woman indicated God sent her a message, which she relayed to a ticket agent in Dayton. Slaybaugh says the woman said the US Airways flight had a bomb on board and people would die.

Drum, the upstate New York military base that is home to the 10th Mountain Division, one of the most frequently deployed divisions to Afghanistan and Iraq. While much of the attention is focused on how many troops will leave Afghanistan next month, the more telling aspects of Obama’s decision center on what happens after July, particularly how long the president plans to keep the 30,000 surge forces he sent in 2009 in the country. There is a growing belief that the president must at least map out the initial withdrawal of the surge troops when he addresses the public. But whether those forces should come out over the next eight to 12 months or slowly trickle out over a longer time is hotly debated. Military commanders want to keep as many of those forces in Afghanistan for as long as possible, arguing that too fast a withdrawal could undermine the fragile security gains in the fight against the Taliban insurgency in Afghanistan, the alQaida training ground for the Sept. 11 attacks.

LOS ANGELES — The Marilyn Monroe dress that flirted revealingly with a gust of New York subway air in “The Seven Year Itch” fetched a record $4.6 million at an auction of film memorabilia. A more sedate outfit worn by Audrey Hepburn in the Ascot race scene of “My Fair Lady” drew a $3.7 million bid at the sale of nearly 600 Hollywood costumes and props collected by film star Debbie Reynolds. The buyers, who were not identified, also paid a sum to the auction house and other fees, according to auction publicity firm Nancy Seltzer & Associates. That brought the total price to more than $5.6 million for the Monroe costume and $4.5 million for the black-andwhite gown worn by Hepburn.

Man urinates in water; city flushes 8M gallons PORTLAND, ORE. — Call it the big flush. Because a 21-year-old man was caught on a security camera urinating into a city reservoir, Oregon’s biggest city is sending 8 million gallons of treated drinking water down the drain. Portland officials defended the decision Monday, saying they didn’t want to send city residents water laced, however infinitesimally, with urine. Public health officials say, however, that urine is sterile in healthy people and that the urine in the reservoir was so diluted — perhaps a half pint in millions of gallons — that it posed little risk. Some people called the flush an overreaction, especially since animals contribute waste routinely and, sometimes, die in the water.

Failed duty An email trail reveals a stunning betrayal of the public trust by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.

his is not how government is supposed to work. An email trail examined by a Kansas City newspaper reveals a disturbingly cozy relationship between the Kansas Department of Health and Environment and the Sunflower Electric Power Corp., which was seeking a KDHE permit to build a coal-fired power plant in southwest Kansas. After several years of contentious dealings during which a permit for the plant was denied several times, it appears that, during the closing days of Gov. Mark Parkinson’s term, elements of the permit process were virtually turned over to Sunflower officials. Key among those was KDHE’s decision to simply forward public comments about the power plant to Sunflower officials who then supplied responses. In many cases, those answers, or something very much like them were simply passed along in a way that made them appear to be unbiased responses that were researched and supplied by KDHE. According to the news report, KDHE received almost 6,000 comments from various experts and members of the public concerning the power plant project. Although it had taken KDHE staff about 10 months to review and respond to almost 800 public comments it received in 2007, the department was able to deal with the 6,000 comments in about seven weeks. It was no secret that this project was on the fast track after Parkinson bartered a deal in May 2009 that would allow one coal-fired plant to be built. Sunflower submitted a new permit application in January 2010. The permit still was under review when KDHE Secretary Rod Bremby was dismissed from his post on Nov. 2, 2010. The next month, acting KDHE Secretary John Mitchell approved the permit. During that seven weeks, the emails, obtained through a public records request, show that KDHE officials boiled the 6,000 comments down to about 275 questions, which it sent to Sunflower to obtain written responses. The emails also show instances where KDHE staff members asked Sunflower officials whether the department should even respond to some comments. The relationship was so tight that a Sunflower employee was sent to Topeka to help set up a computer program to organize the public comments for KDHE and Sunflower. What the emails reveal is a relationship that is highly inappropriate for a state agency and a company it has the duty to regulate. It wouldn’t be unusual for KDHE to seek input or technical information from Sunflower, but to allow the utility to pick the questions it will address and then supply the answers was, in Bremby’s words, “a total abdication of responsibility.” The conduct of KDHE in this matter transcends any judgment on the merits of the Sunflower application. Whether or not they believe the southwest power plant should be built, Kansans should be extremely concerned by the process by which that permit was approved. KDHE’s charge was to make an independent, unbiased appraisal of the power plant project and the various issues raised in public comments about the permit. The trail of email officials left behind indicates they failed miserably in that task.

E-Verify system has serious drawbacks Republicans in Congress have launched a major offensive to force several million undocumented immigrants to leave the United States with a bill that would make it mandatory for U.S. employers to electronically verify workers’ legal status. It sounds like a reasonable idea, but the way they want to do it would hurt all involved. Last week, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith, R-Texas, and 11 fellow Republicans introduced the so called E-Verify bill, which would require employers to use an existing Homeland Security Department database to check the legal status of newly hired employees. According to congressional sources, it has a good chance of passing the Republican-controlled House. A companion bill in the Senate was sponsored by Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and co-sponsored by nine fellow Republicans, including Florida’s Marco Rubio. Its fate in the Democraticcontrolled Senate is not clear. Supporters of the E-Verify system argue that it is already mandatory in states such as Arizona, Georgia and Alabama, and that it works. Smith’s bill would give most employers up to two years to use E-verify for new hires and would give employers the choice of using the system for existing workers. “With unemployment at 9 percent, jobs are scarce,” Smith says in his website. “Despite record unemployment, 7 million people

Critics of the bill say “mandatory use of E-verify would badly hurt many industries, push undocumented immigrants further into the underground economy, and mistakenly cause many legal residents to lose their jobs because of the database’s mistakes.”

work in the U.S. illegally. These jobs should go to legal workers.” He adds: “It takes just a few minutes to use and easily confirms 99.5 percent of work-eligible employees.” Sounds perfectly logical. But when you look into it a bit closer, you realize that, barring broader measures to solve the U.S. immigration mess, it may do more harm than good. Critics of the bill say mandatory use of E-verify would badly hurt many industries, push

undocumented immigrants further into the underground economy, and mistakenly cause many legal residents to lose their jobs because of the database’s mistakes. Among their arguments: ● The E-Verify system is imperfect. The near absolute accuracy rate cited by Smith is misleading, because it only refers to verification of workers with legitimate documents. E-Verify fails to identify undocumented workers in 50 percent of the cases, because many of them present valid documents belonging to other people, critics say. Also, the database often mistakenly flags Hispanics with common names, such as Perez or Rodriguez, because of identity confusion or inconsistencies in their various U.S. documents. Naturalized U.S. citizens are 32 times more likely to be erroneously flagged by the E-Verify system than U.S.-born citizens, according to the National Immigration Forum, a pro-immigration advocacy group. ● If E-Verify becomes law, many businesses that rely heavily on undocumented workers, such as Florida and California agricultural firms, would go out of business or move operations to other countries. The idea that millions of unemployed Americans would take the jobs of Mexican or Central American undocumented field hands is unrealistic. Few American workers are willing to work in back-breaking jobs harvesting oranges or veg-

etables under the sweltering sun for minimum pay. ● If E-Verify goes through the way it is, many employers would simply tell their undocumented workers: “I can’t have you on the books, so I’ll pay you off the books.” That would make undocumented workers even more vulnerable to exploitation, would drive down wages for both legal and illegal workers, and would cost the government a loss of more than $17 billion in revenue over the next 10 years, according to General Accounting Office estimates. My opinion: E-Verify is a legitimate tool that could help solve the U.S. immigration crisis, but only if it is implemented alongside a path to legalization for undocumented workers who are willing to pay fines and learn English. Otherwise, it will only help push millions of people further into the underground economy and may cause thousands of legal residents — mostly Hispanics — to lose their jobs because of documentation mistakes. Whoever thinks that millions of undocumented immigrants, many of whom have American children, would simply leave their families behind and go back to their home countries is either kidding himself, or is trying to take the rest of us down the dangerous road of blaming immigrants for the U.S. economic crisis. — Andres Oppenheimer is a Latin America correspondent for the Miami Herald.

OLD HOME TOWN

For the second time in recent weeks, a deer had broken into a store YEARS on Massachusetts AGO Street. After IN 1986 approaching downtown from a city park, the deer had paused for a moment before crashing directly through a plate-glass window at 722 Mass. A front-page photo shows the frightened animal running across the street after having been coaxed out of the store. Police reported that after heading into the woods behind the VFW building at 138 Alabama, the deer appeared to be "safe and secure."

A high-rise housing project for the elderly was continuing its progress YEARS toward the conAGO struction phase. IN 1971 The complex of lowrent living quarters was to be located at 17th and Massachusetts. Construction of the housing complex was still facing opposition from area residents, who were objecting to the size of the proposed seven-story building.

PUBLIC FORUM

Apologies due To the editor: In a June 14 Journal-World article, the National Organization of Women demanded an apology from Gov. Brownback. They felt the capitol police had harassed them during a demonstration on the capitol steps. I have to agree, as I was part of a small arts demonstration the same day in the same location. Nine of us were approached by four capitol policemen who took our licenses and apparently had us checked for outstanding warrants. How many other apologies are due from the governor since his inauguration? What comes first to mind would be clients of SRS. Those who favor a faith-based approach have replaced many experienced and dedicated SRS employees. I hope that services rendered by a reorganized SRS will be based on values of tolerance, compassion and caring instead of attempts at conversion. Also on the apology list should be arts advocates and everyone who has benef ited from the Kansas Arts Commission, especially in rural communities. Also deserving an apology are members of the Kansas Senate who voted to reinstate funding for the commission but were stiff-armed by the governor’s line-item veto. Brownback should be reminded that Kansas is an entity within a democratic republic and not his own personal baronage. Ask the

Cowley County commissioners who were planning a wind farm project and were not notified by the governor when he decided to expand the wind-farm-free zone in the Flint Hills. Lots of people are owed apologies, but they have about as much of a chance to get one as an elephant getting caught in a spider web. Jack Ozegovic, Lawrence

Trash fees To the editor: We always hear how the city needs to raise fees because they need more money to cover increasing expenses. Well I just paid my Deffenbaugh bill for recycling, $17.43 for three months, which includes weekly pickup and a free container. If a Kansas City company can make money at this rate then we are being ripped off by the city, which charges $14.55 per month for weekly trash pickup and then $2 per month for one of their containers. We hear how the city’s tipping fees have increased, but if enough people in the city are indeed recycling to keep it out of the trash then the increase tipping fees could very well be a moot point. Is the city using this as another bogus excuse to get more revenue to support their wasteful spending? Jerry Kemberling, Lawrence

Water issues To the editor: Thank you to Jennifer Smith, Douglas County Horticulture Extension Agent, for highlighting stormwater runoff and groundwater recharge issues. (Home & Garden, June 12.) Both our water quality and water supply are improved when rain soaks into the ground where it falls, rather than running off into storm drains carrying with it into the Kansas River all manner of chemical and particulate pollution and litter. More use of pervious pavement and other onsite retention methods, such as the rain gardens and bioswales mentioned by Ms. Smith, would also help avert flooding. Solving water quality and water supply problems for the long term will require awareness and action from every citizen. Municipalities and states cannot do it alone. To secure future clean drinking water and have sufficient water for agriculture, industry and the wider environment, we all need to step up individually at home and at work to conserve water and keep pollutants like pesticides, chemicals and excess fertilizer from entering the water supply in the first place. Remember: We all live downstream! Susan Iversen, for the Stakeholder Leadership Team, Lower Kansas Watershed Restoration and Protection Strategy (WRAPS)

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for June 21, 1911:"Now YEARS that you have paid AGO Fido's tax you may IN 1911 have to put out a little more to buy him a muzzle or you may not be able to keep him now. Lawrence dogs will not mind this, however, as they became acquainted with the muzzle a couple of years ago during the mad dog scare of that time.... A state wide quarantine on dogs has been ordered by the State Board of Health.... A quarantine order means that all loose dogs in the state must be muzzled and that all dogs must either be tied up, shut up or muzzled. The quarantine is to run for ninety days. The prevalence of rabies is the reason for the order. … Dr. S. J. Crumbine says there are now twenty people from Kansas taking Pasteur treatment in sanitariums because of fear of rabies." — Compiled by Sarah St. John

Prison conference looks to prevent repeat crimes WICHITA (AP) — Kansas officials said Monday that they want to get nonprofit and faithbased groups engaged with criminal offenders, expecting such efforts to reduce the number of former inmates who return to prison later for committing new crimes. Kansas Corrections Secretary Ray Roberts opened a statewide conference on prison ministry by encouraging religious volunteers to increase their efforts to help offenders stay out of prison. The “Out for Life” conference in Wichita, running through Wednesday, was organized by Prison Fellowship, a nationwide group that promotes ministry in prisons and church support for offenders after their release. Gov. Sam Brownback told the conference that the state can address repeat offenses by having nonprofit and faithbased groups engaged, television station KWCH reported. “I really think if we, as a community, as a state, engage people coming out of prison we will see that number go

down,” Brownback said. The Kansas Department of Corrections says 43 percent of the offenders released from prisons will return for new crimes within three years. “I think the volunteers are in a particularly good role or good position to carry that out,” Roberts said in the conference’s keynote address. “They are in a unique position to kind of reach beyond the bounds of a prison cell and ignite an inmate’s or an offender’s will to turn their life around.” The Wichita Eagle reported that Roberts said efforts like those of Prison Fellowship have had an impact in Kansas and he would like to see them expand under Brownback, who has a strong interest in partnering with faith-based groups in several areas of government service. “Even though we’re in a hard patch financially, we’re not going to let budget restraints create an opportunity for us to stop moving in the direction we need to move,” Roberts said.

James not greatest of all time

Jayhawks’ forte

Read the text of Michael Jordan’s Hall of Fame induction speech to understand why Scottie Pippen might want to go out of his way to tweak his former teammate by saying LeBron James has surpassed Michael Jordan. During championship years with the Chicago Bulls, Jordan had a habit of creating reasons to feel slighted, inviting the sympathy of the masses and wallowing in self-pity. So it’s not Pippen dissing Jordan that sends the cringe-factor meter soaring to Curb Your Enthusiasm levels, it’s the ridiculous opinion that James is the greatest basketball player of all-time. He was no better than third-best in the NBA Finals, ranking behind Dirk Nowitzki and Dwyane Wade. Here are a dozen players from NBA history better than LeBron: 1.

Selig, MLB reject Dodgers TV deal LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Dodgers are closer than ever to a change in ownership after Major League Baseball rejected a proposed broadcast deal between the team and Fox Sports, denying the financially troubled ballclub a much needed infusion of cash. The decision handed down by Commissioner Bud Selig on Monday also invalidated last week’s divorce settlement between owner Frank McCourt and his exwife Jamie, which had been predicated on both parties — and their lawyers — receiving an immediate piece of the television deal. This “further diversion of Dodgers assets for the personal needs of Mr. McCourt” concerned

Selig, according to a statement released by his office. The commissioner said it “would have the effect of mortgaging the future of the franchise to the long-term detriment of the club and its fans.” It now remains to be seen if McCourt can meet the team’s next payroll on June 30. The embattled owner has said that he can, but others familiar with the team’s finances say he cannot. Selig does not plan to seize the team unless McCourt misses payroll, according to two people familiar with the matter. At that point, he could suspend McCourt and put the team up for sale. The commissioner believes

McCourt would respond by filing a lawsuit, according to three people familiar with his thinking. The Dodgers reinforced that expectation with a response from McCourt’s attorney, Steve Susman. “Commissioner Selig’s letter of rejection is not only a disappointment, but worse, is potentially destructive to the Los Angeles Dodgers and Major League Baseball,” Susman said. “Accordingly, we plan to explore vigorously our options and remedies.” The attorney noted that McCourt had furnished the league with all the data it had requested after taking control of the team’s day-to-day operations and launching an investigation in April.

By Gil LeBreton McClatchy Newspapers

FORT WORTH, TEXAS — The highlight of the TV weekend was watching the Cubs and Yankees at Wrigley Field, partying like it was 1938. The low moment? Probably watching the Rangers’ Arthur Rhodes, meekly wielding his version of the “Boomstick.” I love interleague play. I was at the ballpark that night in June 1997, when the Giants and Rangers played history’s first interleague game, and the appeal of matching the two leagues hasn’t wavered. As anyone with the DirecTV MLB Extra Innings package could see last weekend, interleague play adds an extra layer of drama to an otherwise routine day on the baseball schedule. Seattle’s Felix Hernandez pitching against the mighty Philadelphia Phillies. The rowdy crowds watching the Athletics sweep the rival Giants. Playing across leagues and conferences certainly hasn’t hurt pro football or basketball. And in baseball’s case, if it brings a natural rival such as the Houston Astros to Arlington, then all the better. Yet, baseball’s loud army of hidebound traditionalists continue to complain. They are bored with interleague play, they say. They abhor what it does to the designated hitter. The diehards’ hackles were raised even higher, however, by the recent Buster Olney story on ESPN.com that major league baseball has been discussing realignment. At issue, Olney reported, is the uneven number of teams in the two leagues — 16 for the National, 14 in the American. A simple fix, some colleagues have suggested. Just move the Astros from the sixteam NL Central to the four-team AL West. Except . . . proposed new Astros owner Jim Crane has been quoted as saying he has no interest in moving the team to the American League. Crane grew up in St. Louis and reportedly considers himself a traditionalist. But since when did Crane, a previous three-time loser at trying to buy into the MLB fraternity, earn the right to dictate anything to the other 29 owners? Think Crane will get Ray Davis’ and Bob Simpson’s vote, after the way he helped to jack up the price of the Rangers last summer? The issue of realignment, though, should not be confined to our neighboring Astros. A radical realignment could benefit teams currently shackled by time-zone and economic disparities. The Rangers this season will play 30 games in the Pacific time zone. Twenty of those will likely end sometime near midnight, Central time. This is lunacy. No other team in baseball plays as many games in as many unnatural hours as the Rangers. If the leagues were totally realigned, the Rangers and Astros could become division rivals for the first time. All five of baseball’s California franchises could play in one division. The big-money Phillies and Mets could join the Yankees and Red Sox. The Rangers and Astros could be paired with the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks, with the Mariners as the fifth team. That wouldn’t solve all of the Rangers’ West Coast time problems, but it’s a start. According to MLB.com, attendance at this season’s first round of interleague games was the highest it’s been since 2004, an increase of 11 percent. Would the Giants-Athletics rivalry lose any of its sheen if they competed in the same division? Not likely. Same for the Dodgers and Angels, the Mets and Yankees, and the Cubs and White Sox.

JOHN ISNER OF THE US REACTS as he defeats France's Nicolas Mahut, in their epic men's singles match at Wimbledon on June 24, 2010. WIMBLEDON, ENGLAND — Anyone at Wimbledon a year ago, it seems, remembers bits and pieces of the longest match in tennis history, the 11-hour, 5-minute marathon between John Isner and Nicolas Mahut. It stretched over three days before Isner won 70-68 in the fifth set. Get ready for the rematch, scheduled to begin today at the All England Club. Fittingly, perhaps, Isner-Mahut II might not finish today. That’s because theirs is the fourth match on tap for Court 3 — and the forecast calls for rain. Court 3 holds 1,980 spectators, about 1,200 more than tiny Court 18, which now bears a plaque noting it was the site of the 2010 original Isner-Mahut. “It’s great for tennis. It’s a great buzz. It was an amazing story last year,” Roger Federer said. “They would have had a bit of a focus this year anyway, coming back, but with the rematch, it gives Mahut a chance to redeem himself from last year.”

WIMBLEDON Venus Williams, Nadal win openers WIMBLEDON, ENGLAND — Back on one of tennis’ top stages, Venus Williams cut a familiar figure Monday at Wimbledon, from her latest original, somewhat-see-through outfit to her trademark booming serves and aggressive groundstrokes. Williams smacked seven aces at up to 118 mph, totaled 23 winners to only five unforced errors, and overwhelmed 97th-ranked Akgul Amanmuradova of Uzbekistan 6-3, 6-1 in the first round at the All England Club. Others reaching the second round included 10-time major champion Rafael Nadal, whose parents sat in the Royal Box during his 6-4, 62, 6-2 victory over 90th-ranked Michael Russell of Houston.

COMMENTARY

It’s time for baseball to realign

said that more than $200 million of upfront money for the television deal would be devoted to the team. “All the requirements for the commissioner to approve the Fox transaction were put in place,” he said. Neither Fox nor representatives for Jamie McCourt had any comment. The Fox deal could have paid the Dodgers “in excess of” $3 billion over 17 years — at or above market rate — according to Frank McCourt. MLB executives valued the deal at closer to $1.7 billion. McCourt had spent months campaigning for approval, saying the money was critical to his club’s financial health.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY

ST. LOUIS — St. Louis Rams linebacker David Vobora was awarded $5.4 million in his lawsuit against a Florida supplements maker. More important, Vobora said his reputation has been restored. “Today is a celebration,” Vobora said Monday. “Today, I’ve been proven innocent.” Attorneys for the 25-year-old Vobora said he used the company’s “Ultimate Sports Spray” in June 2009 without knowing it contained methyltestosterone, a banned substance that showed up in an NFL drug test and led to his suspension. “The issue has always been clearing his name,” said R. Dan Fleck of Jackson, Wyo., one of Vobora’s attorneys. “He didn’t cheat. He didn’t try to cheat. Vobora said the Rams were very supportive, but that the emotional toll elsewhere was heavy, “from extreme threats to fan mail talking about hoping I never play another snap in the NFL. Hearing that I’m a disgrace, having to deal with that daily.”

MLB McKeon, 80, is Marlins’ interim MIAMI — New Florida Marlins interim manager Jack McKeon sat listening as team president David Samson offered a spirited defense of the decision to give the job to an octogenarian. Samson said the 80-year-old McKeon works harder than many people half his age and seems even sharper mentally than in 2003, when he led the Marlins to an improbable World Series championship. In response to the comments, a grinning McKeon intentionally messed up Samson’s name. “Thanks, George,” McKeon said. The new, old skipper drew some laughs at his re-introductory news conference Monday, but the hiring was no joke. Nearly six years after McKeon retired as the Marlins’ manager, he returned to his former job on an interim basis and will lead the team for the rest of the season.

Beating suspect jailed 10 months

LOS ANGELES — The main suspect in the brutal beating of a San Francisco Giants fan outside Dodger Stadium was sent back to prison Monday for 10 months for a parole violation involving access to a gun. Giovanni Ramirez, 31, has been in custody since May 22, when police arrested him in connection with the attack on Bryan Stow then held him on the parole issue. No evidence was presented about the attack on Stow at Monday’s closed hearing. Ramirez has not been charged in the beating, and police have been in no hurry to present a case to prosecutors while he is in jail on the weapons case. Typically when a suspect is arrested, police must present their case to prosecutors within NFL two working days.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Four of college football’s six powerhouse conferences paid their top executives $1 million or more, an Associated Press analysis of tax records shows, far eclipsing the compensation of most university presidents. A review of 2009 IRS returns, the most recent available, shows that Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany was the highest paid, receiving total compensation valued at $1.6 million, followed by Atlantic Coast Conference commissioner John Swofford ($1.1 million), Southeastern Conference commissioner Mike Slive ($1 million) and Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe ($997,000). The other two commissioners each started in July 2009, so their compensation figures are only for the last six months of the year: PAC-10’s Larry Scott ($735,000), and Big East’s John Marinatto ($366,000). Those figures include base salary and benefits such as health insurance, as well as other forms of pay such as retirement and deferred compensation. On an annual or prorated basis, only Marinatto made less than the median pay of presidents of the nation’s large research universities, which was $760,774 in 2008, according to a Chronicle of Higher Education survey published last fall. The new data about commissioner salaries comes at a time when, driven by a series of controversies at major programs, there’s a growing chorus about the problems of enforcing amateurism in college football, saying it may be time to rethink the system as everyone but the athletes are making big money. Southern California was put on probation last year after 2005 Heisman Trophy winner Reggie Bush was discovered to have received improper benefits from a sports agent; the NCAA concluded that the father of last year’s Heisman winner, Cam Newton, tried to sell his son’s services to Mississippi State; and, Ohio State coach Jim Tressel and star QB Terrelle Pryor both left the school this spring in the wake of revelations that Pryor and other players sold memorabilia for cash and tattoos.

Big Ten board chairman, said his conference’s presidents and chancellors believe Delany is worth “every penny” that he receives. “The board has enormous confidence in the commissioner, thinks that he's done an outstanding job,” McRobbie said in a telephone interview. “We're very, very pleased with the progress in the conference under the commissioner's leadership.” The board chairmen of the ACC, SEC and Big 12 were all said by aides to be unavailable for interviews. The conferences, which oversee a host of college sports besides football, operate as 501(c)(3) charitable organizations, meaning their operations are tax-exempt. The compensation is generally set by boards of directors made up of the member schools’ presidents and chancellors. The six conferences, all of which receive automatic bids to Bowl Championship Series games, are among 11 that make up college football’s highest level. The other five don’t receive automatic bids and receive smaller bowl payouts from the BCS, although those payments have increased in recent years as overall BCS revenue has grown. Those five conferences — Mountain West, Mid-American, Sun Belt, Conference USA and the Western Athletic Conference— all paid their commissioners less than $600,000 in 2009. But they also brought in far less in total revenue — between $9 million

and $50 million, compared to $102 million to $244 million for the six core BCS conferences, the tax records show. AP’s review also found that Slive, the SEC commissioner, received a $1 million bonus in 2008, nearly doubling his pay that year to $2.1 million. SEC spokesman Charles Bloom said that bonus was for two TV deals the SEC negotiated that year, with ESPN and CBS. Beebe, the Big 12 commissioner, got the biggest pay raise from 2008 to 2009. His $997,000 was more than 50 percent higher than his 2008 pay of $661 ,000. Big 12 spokesman Bob Burda said the conference board of directors raised Beebe’s pay to put him on par with the other conferences that receive automatic BCS bids. Dave Czesniuk, senior associate director at Northeastern University’s Sport in Society, argued that the figures reflect the over-commercialization of college sports. “I can't imagine that the well-being and growth of student-athletes is of paramount importance when there’s that level of compensation,” he said, when told of the commissioners’ pay. As for Slive’s bonus, Czesniuk said, “Let’s be real about what’s being rewarded. You can’t say that it’s about the student-athlete experience.” The million-dollar paydays for the commissioners still lag far behind some of the nation's top football college coaches. Texas coach Mack Brown, for instance, makes around $5 million.

More about KU visit On Monday, Young also further clarified how he ended up visiting KU after previously signing a grant-in aid with San Diego State.

“It happened, like, around the end of May,” Young said. “I talked to (KU assistant) coach (Kurtis) Townsend and let him know that I was interested in coming, and then before he went on, he made sure that I talked to coach (Steve) Fisher and (assistant) coach (Brian) Dutcher at San Diego State and made sure they knew that I was planning on taking a visit out here and stuff. And then, I talked to them as well and let them know. “They weren’t too happy. I don’t know if they really agreed with it, but I just went ahead and came out here.”

Sister can’t be forced to accept sibling’s relationship

Dear Miss: All choices have consequences, and it helps to be prepared to deal with them. Yes, your sister seems unforgiving and harsh, but you cannot fix that. She also may believe that her intransigent position will force you to give Derek up. If you plan to stay with this man, you should conduct your lives with dignity and integrity and hope that

Dear Annie: I have a friend who has the “call waiting” feature on his phone. If I am talking to him and a second call comes in, he will say, “Oh, I have another call,” and either hang up on me, or leave me waiting interminably while he chats with the second caller. Once he kept me holding so long, I finally hung up. However, if I am the second caller, he will say, “I’m on the other line. Can I call you back?” This seems to indicate that other callers are always more important to him than I am. Unless it is a dire emergency, I feel the first call should take priority. I also think his treatment of me is disrespectful. My friend also has “Caller ID,” so he knows who the

New ‘Hospital’ lacks originality “Combat Hospital” (9 p.m., ABC) becomes the latest medical soap opera to air on ABC. Its setting in an Afghanistan war zone is supposed to make it different, but only goes to prove that the cliches of the genre transplant to any location. As the credits roll, fetching Canadian surgeon Maj. Rebecca Gordon (Michelle Borth, “Hawaii Five-O”) is high above the desert in an army transport jet. She seems too absorbed in what looks like a home pregnancy kit to hear orders to return to her seat for a very rough landing. She’s not exactly feeling well when she encounters a freshly minted American doctor Capt. Bobby Trang (Terry Chen, “Sanctuary”) outside the Multinational Medical Unit at Kandahar Airfield. There they encounter the hospital’s tough, gruff commander, Col. Xavier Marks (Elias Koteas, “The Curious Case of B enjamin Button”), who barely has time for “hello” before he starts shouting orders and sputtering medical jargon. The set is modeled on a real Canadian hospital in Kandahar, Afghanistan, but the verisimilitude does little to detract from the sense that you’ve seen this all before. ● “History Detectives” (7 p.m., PBS) enters a new summer season with an examination of two items thought to be linked to the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor. ● Television’s love affair with sweet confections continues on two very different programs. The acclaimed documentary series “POV” (9 p.m., PBS) enters a new season with the film “Kings of Pastry” from directors D.A. Pennebaker and Chris Hegedus. “Kings” follows 16 French chefs as they compete for that nation’s top honor in pastry. On a somewhat less exalted level, “Staten Island Cakes” (8 p.m., WE) follows the career of 21-year-old Vinny Buzzetta, a young man with his own cake shop and a colorful and supportive Italian-American family. If you noticed similarities to TLC’s “Cake Boss,” you would be correct. “Cakes” also follows a few odd reality show trends. Apparently nobody goes to college anymore. And not unlike several “Real Housewife” shows, “Cake” features a rather attractive mother of a certain age way too involved in her kids’ lives who doesn’t want the brood to ever leave the nest. In some ways these series begin to resemble haunted house horror movies. You find yourself screaming, “Just get out of the house!” at the screen.

Tonight’s other highlights ● The top 16 emerge on “MasterChef” (7 p.m., Fox). ● The case of the missing cadaver on “NCIS: Los Angeles” (8 p.m., CBS). ● Semifinals on “The Voice” (8 p.m., NBC). ● ABC presents “101 Ways to Leave a Game Show” (8 p.m., ABC) for viewers who find “Wipeout” too subtle. ● Diana goes undercover on “White Collar” (8 p.m., USA). ● An inside man on “Memphis Beat” (8 p.m., TNT). ● Every minute counts in a capital case on “The Good Wife” (9 p.m., CBS). ● Cover blown on “Covert Affairs” (9 p.m., USA). ● “Real Sports With Bryant Gumbel” (9 p.m., HBO) features an interview with Tiki Barber, an NFL player-turned-broadcaster who has announced his desire to return to the game.

Dear Annie: I have been in a relationship with “Derek” for two years. I love him dearly and know we will marry someday. The problem is, my sister and her husband will not accept Derek because we started dating when he was still going through a divorce. Annie, I know we should have waited until the divorce was final, but my sister can’t seem to move past it. She refuses to meet Derek and has told me that neither she nor her husband will come to our wedding. My sister has made mistakes in her marriage, and I was always very accepting and forgiving. Leaving Derek is not an option, but I hate that I don’t see my nieces anymore because of this tiff. How can I convince her Derek is a good guy if she won’t make an effort to meet him? — Miss My Sis

BRIEFLY Phillies come to terms with ex-Jayhawk

Tuesday, June 21, 2011

the Phillies’ Short-Season Class A affiliate — the Williamsport (Pa.) Crosscutters. The Philadelphia Phillies “Our entire coaching staff is announced Monday that they thrilled that Colton gets the have come to terms with foropportunity to chase his dream of playing professional basemer Kansas pitcher Colton Murray on a minor league con- ball,” Kansas coach Ritch Price tract after selecting the junior said. “We’ve had success in the right-hander in the 13th round past with other former players of this season’s Major League in the Phillies’ organization. Colton is a young man who has Baseball First-Year Player the talent to play this game for Draft. Murray has been assigned to a long time.”

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Concluding a news briefing about Albert Pujols’ injury that killed the mood at Tony La Russa’s charity golf event, the St. Louis Cardinals manager let down his guard. “I’m going to go find a place to cry,” La Russa said. Pujols will be out an estimated six weeks with a fractured left wrist from a firstbase collision over the weekend. Baseball will be without a three-time NL MVP and the Cardinals, tied for first in the NL Central, are left to absorb another devastating blow in a season marred by injuries. “You can’t replace a player of his magnitude,” general manager John Mozeliak said. “It just seems like we’ve had to deal with one injury after another. “We still have to find ways to win games, and that’s what we’ll do.” The team announced the results of an MRI and CT scan Monday, one day after Pujols was injured during a home game against Kansas City. The injury is a non-displaced fracture of the left radius bone and his arm is in a splint. Mozeliak said he hoped to have Pujols back by the begin-

ning of August and the team anticipated no lingering effects from what the general manager described as a small fracture. Mozeliak said Pujols’ left shoulder was sore but no structural damage was found. Though his .279 average is 50 points below his career numbers, Pujols was starting to heat up after a slow start and went 3-for-3 with a homer in his last at-bat on Sunday. He’s among the league leaders with 17 homers and 45 RBIs. Pujols was hurt trying to make a tag after taking an offline throw from second baseman Pete Kozma and the Royals’ Wilson Betemit collided with the glove hand. “He hit me on my wrist and my shoulder,” Pujols said afterward. “He kind of jammed me back. It’s the toughest play to make as a first baseman. It’s a bang-bang play. I saw the replay a couple of times, but I didn’t really want to look at it.” Betemit said there was no way to avoid the collision. “I was running hard and the ball arrived at the same time I got to the base,” Betemit said. “That’s part of the game. I couldn’t do anything about it.” Mozeliak said he hadn’t

spoken with Pujols, who had been optimistic after the game that the injury wasn’t serious. “I was optimistic we were going to get better news,” Mozeliak said. “I really was.” The 31-year-old Pujols is due to enter free agency this fall after rejecting a multiyear contract extension at the start of spring training. He will be placed on the 15-day disabled list for only the third time in his career and the Cardinals said they would announce a roster move before tonight’s game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Among the top options are f irst baseman-outf ielder Mark Hamilton and infielder Tyler Greene, both of whom were optioned to Triple-A Memphis last week. St. Louis was tied with the Brewers atop the NL Central despite the latest in a string of injuries. Pujols was hurt three days after cleanup hitter Matt Holliday returned from a quadriceps injury that landed him on the 15-day disabled list, and Holliday also missed time following an appendectomy. Third baseman David Freese, second baseman Skip

Schumaker and pitcher Kyle McClellan also have missed significant time for a franchise that early in spring training lost 20-game winner Adam Wainwright for the season. “It’s tough,” pitcher Kyle Lohse said. “It’s kind of been the story to the season, it just seems like every month something’s happening.” Freese and utilityman Nick Punto have begun rehab stints and Mozeliak said they wouldn’t be rushed back. Mozeliak didn’t anticipate Allen Craig, on the DL with a knee injury, back for 3-4 weeks. Lance Berkman took over at first base after the injury and could serve as the long-term f ill-in at the position, although both Mozeliak and La Russa hedged on that. Berkman began the year as a full-time outfielder for the first time since 2004 and said earlier in the year that he anticipated outfield play to be easier on his legs because there would be fewer stops and starts. “Getting Lance in a place where he’s physically feeling the best is a really good answer for us,” La Russa said.

INTERLEAGUE ROUNDUP

Angels spoil McKeon’s return The Associated Press

Angels 2, Marlins 1 MIAMI — With their new old manager, the free-falling Florida Marlins had the same old result on Monday. Jered Weaver pitched seven innings and the Angels spoiled 80-year-old Jack McKeon’s return to the dugout with a win over the Marlins, who tied a franchise record with their 11th consecutive loss.
