Program aims to keep businesses in business ————

KU will match new graduates, retiring owners to keep store doors open

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

The Kansas University School of Business is preparing to play matchmaker in a new initiative that won recent applause from the Kansas Board of Regents.

“This sounds like a wonderful program,” said Regent Kenny Wilk, of

Lansing, after being briefed last week by KU School of Business Dean Neeli Bendapudi.

TargetBendapudi ed at rural areas, the program will match businesses that are looking for succes-

sor owners with business school graduates who want to run and grow a business, Bendapudi said.

Bendapudi said when businesses shutter because of the lack of a successor, that accelerates economic decline because the community loses the services and tax base.

Keeping that business open, she said, helps the

local community and the new owners.

“It’s a pretty intriguing idea,” said Regents Chairman Ed McKechnie, of Arcadia.

Wally Meyer, director of entrepreneurship programs at the KU School of Business, said he got the idea for the program after a visit to Goodland, where an economic de-

velopment official was complaining about businesses shuttering because owners were retiring and there were no successors.

“Goodland is a long way from Lawrence, so I had plenty of time to think of a solution on the drive back,” Meyer said.

He thought of businesses closing shop in west-

LAWRENCE PARKS AND RECREATION’S BRETT ROBERTS lays some new sod recently at Eagle Bend Golf Course. Roberts is part of a crew that keeps the city’s playing fields in top shape.

Every day is game day for Parks and Rec team

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

One minute Darin Pearson is on his knees in the middle of an Eagle Bend Fairway, as if divine intervention somehow can fix a slice. The next he is stabbing one of the course’s undulating greens with a screwdriver, perhaps hoping to exact some revenge for a three-putt.

Brett Roberts is no better.

He’s driving on a golf cart, constantly circling the course with his head down like a man forever in search of his errant golf ball.

Everywhere you look, Roberts is zigzagging from fairway to fairway, making you feel better that at least your hook isn’t that bad.

The man has a shovel on his cart, for heaven’s sake. Take a drop, my friend.

Across the tree line at the city’s Youth Sports Complex,

Rod Hoffer is partaking in what has perhaps become the summer pastime of every parent in Lawrence: spending hour upon heatscorched hour at a youth league baseball or softball field.

The summer season is now in full swing. Lawrence is a city at play.

But the trio of Pearson, Roberts and Hoffer are not at play.

They’re Lawrence Parks and Recreation employees. But even more specifically they’re part of a 26-member crew known as District 1.

Nearly all Parks and Recreation employees see a spike in their activity levels in the summer, but with this crew it is even more pronounced. District 1 includes the 1,600 acres of property below the Clinton Lake Dam. The area is home to Eagle Bend Golf Course, and an array of Please see PARKS, page 2A

The state agency that licenses law enforcement officers is investigating whether to take disciplinary action against two former Lawrence police officers involved in a ticket-fixing scandal.

Earlier this year, the Kansas Commission on Peace Officers’ Standards and Training, or KSCPOST, received “no- Monroe tice of termination” forms from the Lawrence Police Department for former Sgts.

Mike Monroe and Matt Sarna.

Such forms, Sarna required when an officer in the state leaves a department, prompted the commission to investigate the cases. The investigation could lead to license revocation, barring Monroe and Sarna from working in Kansas law enforcement.

The KSCPOST termination forms, obtained through a Journal-World open records request, state that Monroe was “terminated” on March 22, while Sarna left the department on Feb. 24 after an “involuntary negotiated resignation,” which means the officer “was offered the opportunity to resign to avoid Please see OFFICERS, page 2A

potential disciplinary or adverse employment of legal action.”

The city refused to identify the two officers in the speeding ticketfixing case, but District Attorney Charles Branson said in March that he reviewed court cases that Sarna and Monroe had been involved in after the city provided him their names in connection with the city’s personnel investigation.

Branson said prosecutors reviewed the FBI and department’s internal affairs report, which revealed that the KU tickets were provided to the officers and that the same officers fixed certain traffic tickets. But he said the timing and circumstances of the receipt of the athletic tickets could not be directly linked to specific requests for fixing traffic tickets, so his office elected not to file criminal charges of bribery or other offenses against Sarna or Monroe.

Monroe declined comment about the KSCPOST

investigation but confirmed he was still going through the city’s grievance procedure related to his firing.

Gary Steed, KSCPOST director, said his agency was still in the “information gathering” phase of investigating both Monroe and Sarna. The termination forms do not go into further detail about Monroe or Sarna’s case.

Steed said his agency contacts the reporting police department for further information needed during its investigation.

The investigation can take several months, but if disciplinary action is taken, that information will be posted on the commission’s website, Steed said.

However, any actions taken by KSCPOST do not affect an officer’s retirement benefits through the Kansas Police and Fire Retirement System, commonly referred to as KP&F, said Kristen Basso, KP&F spokeswoman.

Officers can opt for early disbursement at age 50, Basso said. Specific information for an officer’s individual retirement account from KP&F is not

On the course You’ve probably guessed by now, but Brett Roberts really isn’t driving circles around the Eagle Bend Golf Course looking for his ball. But you might be surprised at what he is looking at — approximately 800 irrigation sprinkler heads.

Roberts studies sprinkler heads like bad golfers study ways to wade five feet into a pond to retrieve their final golf ball. Each workday, Roberts drives the course looking for telltale signs of problems with the watering system. Why is water pooling here? Why is there a brown spot there? How is today’s wind drying out the course?

“It is definitely a bit of an art and a science,” Roberts said.

Each day, there are 800 sprinkler heads to study.

If you thought playing the game of golf was a detailed activity, try growing the grass to play the game.

“The job of a good golf course guy is to be detailed,” said Pearson, who also serves as the superintendent of the Eagle Bend Golf Course.

Nowhere is that more evident than when it comes to water management. Pearson tells people water is his “gold.” On some days — the really hot and dry ones — the course may go through about 400,000 gallons of water to maintain its 115 acres of manicured turf.

But the gallons always come with a plan.

an open record, Basso said.

Cases on the rise A review of posted cases shows disciplinary actions against officers in the state have risen in recent years.

Between 2004 and 2008, KSCPOST issued a yearly average of five disciplinary actions. But since 2009, KSCPOST has taken at least a dozen actions per year, including 21 in 2011.

Under Kansas law, police licenses are revoked if an officer is convicted of felony or a misdemeanor conviction of domestic battery. Licenses can also be revoked for “moral character” violations, as well as for violations of police officer training standards.

Two Lawrence police officers have had their licenses revoked since 1998: Robert Sayler, who was convicted of wire fraud, and Richard Jump, who was convicted of rape in Douglas County in 1999.

“

Man, I love helping people play. This has got to be the greatest job in the world.”

— Darin Pearson, Parks and Rec’s District 1 superintendent “I think people figure we just turn on the sprinklers and let them go,” said Pearson. “But that’s not the way it works. There’s a lot of thinking that goes on with this.”

Each day at 3 p.m. Roberts, Pearson and other crew members gather around a computer to custom set how long each sprinkler head will be on for the following day. But that’s just the beginning of the micro adjustments. On the putting greens — even though all are fully irrigated — crews spend about six hours a day hand-watering the greens.

Pearson said greens dry out at a different rate, so the amount of water needed for one particular square foot of green is likely different from what’s needed for another square foot. If grass receives too much water, a fungus will develop. In case you are wondering, that is why Pearson was on his knees in the middle of a fairway. It helps to get close to the surface to see the black film of the fungus.

Crews that mow each day make hand-drawn maps of the greens to highlight areas that need more water than others.

The process gets so detailed that during some times of the year, Pearson may direct a staff member to pour a single cup of water on a particular spot of a green. But during the summer, the process usually involves a quick blast from a hose.

And yes, sometimes a screwdriver. Sticking a screwdriver into the green is a method Pearson sometimes uses to test the moisture of a particular spot. But he would really appreciate it if you don’t stab his greens. After all, it really wasn’t the grass that caused you to miss that three-footer.

On the field So, you think all baseball fields are the same?

Tell me, what are the base distances for 9-yearolds vs. 13-year-olds?

What about pitching distances? Is there a chalk circle around home plate?

Where exactly do these coaches boxes go?

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD and Recreation Department, would admit that preparing a baseball or softball field for play isn’t rocket science, but it sure doesn’t happen on its own.

On a recent Wednesday, 18 of the 19 baseball/ softball fields in District 1 were scheduled to have a game played on them that evening. A large whiteboard that stretches more than 10 feet across the District 1 office is filled with notes about how each field needs to be prepared.

“My goal is to not get that 6 p.m. phone call about why the bases are in the wrong spot or why the pitching rubber is back too far,” Hoffer said.

It will take Hoffer’s crews a full five hours to prepare just the infields for all the games. That doesn’t include any time spent on mowing outfields, cleaning bathrooms at the complexes, emptying trash cans or making sure the pretty flowers you walk by while murmuring about an umpire’s call are watered.

At 8:30 a.m. on a Wednesday, there were a total of nine Parks and Recreation employees working at the Youth Sports Complex to get the area ready for that night’s play. Pearson said that was pretty normal. There’s always grass to be mowed, there’s always a project — a new water fountain and seeding of a new football field were both on tap that Wednesday — and most of all, there are always people to serve.

Pearson, who spent 19 years caring for the Alvamar Country Club golf course, said he’s often amazed at how many people are at the dog park or on the West Lawrence bike paths or the arboretum or at any of a number of other stops he makes during his day.

Really, he and his crew are on the front lines of summer.

Occasionally, they’ll be the target of some verbal volleys — the fields are too hard, there’s too much dust, the greens don’t roll at the right speed. But Pearson insists there’s no need for hazard pay on these front lines.

“We’re definitely busy, but it is different type of busy,” Pearson said. “It is fun when you set up a field or prepare the course and you then later hear the people laughing and see the excitement of a kid. It is cool to feel like you helped create that.”

seller with advice to both parties from a Red Tire board, which includes leading business figures.

The program will be the guarantor of the loan that the buyer will use to purchase the business. Red Tire will receive its initial funding from government grants and private contributions.

Meyer is hoping that in the first year, the program will do one or two deals.

It will focus on medical and health-related businesses, such as pharmacies and agriculture. Other regents schools also will be pulled in to help, he said.

Meyer said he believes the current crop of business school products are up to the challenge.

They’ve seen down economies, know that growing a business takes hard work, and their heroes are entrepreneurs, he said.

“These people are a great pool to draw from,” he said.

BRIEFLY

School board hopeful attends anti-gay church TOPEKA — A Kansas state school board candidate who describes evolution as “Satanic lies” and wants to stop public schools from teaching the theory attends Westboro Baptist, the Topeka church known for anti-gay protests worldwide.

Jack Wu told The Topeka Capital-Journal that he decided to run for the State Board of Education after learning that Democratic incumbent Carolyn Campbell, also from Topeka, would otherwise be unopposed for a second term in the 4th District of eastern Kansas. Campbell supports the state’s current science standards, which treat evolution as a well-established, core scientific concept.

Wu’s link to the Rev. Fred Phelps Sr.’s congregation has created a buzz in education circles. On a campaign website, Wu says he is a native of California drawn to the Kansas capital “after seeing the light of the Westboro Baptist Church.”

Church members have staged anti-gay pickets for more than two decades, and they frequently protest outside military funerals.

Real estate agents warn of Craigslist scam HUTCHINSON — Hutchinson real estate agents urge people in the market for rentals to keep an eye out for fraudulent ads on Craigslist.

The Hutchinson News reports that in one recent case, someone copied information from an agency’s listing for a home for sale and placed it on Craigslist as a rental.

A woman became suspicious and discovered the information came from a RE/MAX listing, so she contacted the agency.

Agents say scammers are trying to dupe people into either providing personal data or sending in a deposit check for the nonexistent rental opportunity.

They say the best way to avoid such a scam is to meet with the landlord and go to the house but never wire money.

Man of an uncertain age: Legend of 125-year-old sparks curiosity Oak Hill Cemetery marker lists life span as 1784 to 1909

By Alex Garrison acgarrison@ljworld.com

In Oak Hill Cemetery in Lawrence lies a bit of a mystery.

Many men and women found their final resting place there — people important in the town’s history, from early settlers to victims of Quantrill’s Raid.

But one man’s life — mysteries included — represents the history of Kansas. And his surviving descendants in Lawrence and others remember his story with fondness.

Old Uncle Sam, they call him.

The moniker is apt because, if his gravestone there in Oak Hill is to be believed, he died at the age of 125. Just that fact could make him remarkable in Douglas County’s history.

But Samuel Shepherd’s story has even more significance — he wasn’t just a man who survived to be a remarkable old age; he survived great hardship and came to settle in Lawrence, where he could be free.

Shepherd, whose family name is also spelled Shepard, is buried in section 5, lot 142, with Julia Newson, who died in 1911, and across from a stone marking a family called Hamilton. Old Uncle Sam’s birthdate is listed as 1784, and his death date as 1909.

The family and genealogists who have researched Shepherd don’t know where he was born or why he gave such an early birth year, though it’s clear he would have had to have guessed.

One other thing is clear: Before he came to Lawrence, he was owned in Missouri. He, along with two other men, known only as Peter and Ben, were slaves held by James Shepherd of Virginia, who moved to Independence in 1820.

Motorists should once again expect delays on the Kansas River bridges in downtown Lawrence, this time as state crews inspect recent work completed on the bridges.

Northbound traffic will be reduced to one lane from at least 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday as state transportation crews conduct inspections on the bridge. Motorists likely will notice traffic impacts earlier. Crews are expected to begin setting up traffic control devices at 7:30 a.m.

The northbound left lane of the bridge will be closed.

On Thursday, work will shift to the southbound Kansas River bridge. Crews will conduct inspections from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., but work is expected to begin as early as 7:30 a.m. The left lane of the southbound bridge will be closed.

Both closings are expected to last only for one day.

The Kansas Department of Transportation recently completed a major repaving project on the two bridges.

WICHITA — Nearly two years after the burned remains of a missing 14-year-old cheerleader were found at an asphalt plant, her killer will return to a Great Bend courtroom Tuesday to be sentenced in the murder case that rattled the western Kansas community.

Prosecutors did not seek the death penalty against 38-year-old Adam Longoria, but Barton County District Judge Hannelore Kitts has little, if any, say in deciding his punishment. In Kansas, a conviction for first-degree murder carries a mandatory sentence of life without parole.

In April, jurors deliberated for less than four hours before convicting Longoria for the August 2010 murder of Alicia DeBolt, finding that he committed criminal sodomy, aggravated criminal sodomy and attempted rape during the killing. Jurors had only needed to find one of those aggravating factors in order to return

a guilty verdict for capital murder. They also found him guilty of vehicle burglary and theft.

Great Bend was so shaken by Alicia’s death that more than 2,000 people attended a vigil to remember the teen known as “Babygurl.”

It is not known whether Longoria, who did not take the stand at his trial, will make a statement at his sentencing. Alicia’s mother and sister are expected to make victim impact statements.

Alicia was last seen alive leaving her home for a party just before midnight on Aug. 21, 2010. Her family reported her missing the next day, setting off a search that ended three days later when her remains, with traces of duct tape on her ankles and face, were found at the Venture Corp. plant where Longoria worked.

Investigators later found a barrage of text messages between Alicia and the then-36-year-old Longoria, who began pursuing the girl after meeting her at a party in July 2010.

Samuel’s burial card, the only record of his death, sits in the CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A Watkins Community Museum of History.

It reads simply: Died the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863. No records Feb. 8, 1909. Cause: have been found for him Old age.

from the accounts of the courthouse building. The 1870 census shows him living in Lawrence.

At some point, he married Julia and had children, Martha and John. John’s last name is eventually recorded as “Shepard,” and so is Sam’s gravestone.

The reason for the spelling change is just another one of Old Uncle Sam’s mysteries.

A descendant through John Shepard, Don Shepard, lives in North Lawrence and says the family’s tale is interesting but doesn’t affect his daily life.

“I guess I don’t think about it a whole lot,” Don Shepard said.

Don lets his cousin Shirley Harris, of Leavenworth, pursue the story.

She keeps a notebook handy with any information she can get about her great-great-grandfather.

When talking about all that’s unknown about

Shepherd, she wonders aloud whether the timing is right that he could have been born outside of the United States.

“Holy cow!” she says.

“I don’t really know, but I would love to.”

Don’s brother Steve Shepard took an interest in the Uncle Sam stories and has a relic of his, a horseshoe-repairing instrument, in his home outside Denver. Growing up, Steve vaguely knew of the legend of a 125-year-old man but had no idea the complete extent of Shepherd’s history as a survivor of slavery.

When he found out more about his ancestor’s place in Lawrence history, he became “very surprised and really very proud.”

Steve doesn’t believe Samuel lived to be 125, but, the way he figures it, he had to be well over 100 years old in 1909. And he’s

The Douglas County Commission on Wednesday will hear several procedural measures for moving forward a special assessment district to pay for upgrades to the dam at Lake Alvamar, formerly COUNTY known as COMMISSION Yankee Tank Lake.

The meeting, at 6:35 p.m. on the second floor of the Douglas County Courthouse, is a public hearing on the special assessments, which will include $5,000 contributions from lot owners as well as funds from the city and county.

The commission will also talk about the plan to turn over land adjacent to the United Way center, 2518 Ridge Court, to Tenants to Homeowners. (This will take place in the 4 p.m. session.) On the agenda is consideration for a resolution addressing the handover. The commission may also set a future date for an official public hearing on the project.

The commission meets at 4 p.m. and again at 6:35 p.m. on the second floor of the Douglas County Courthouse, 1100 Mass.

heard stories of the man building homes well into his 70s.

City directories from the period show that Samuel eventually ended up living with his daughter, Martha, who married a man named Joshua Hamilton, a painter, in a house at 937 Pa. “Mattie,” as she was known, died in 1932 of cancer, according to burial records.

Samuel’s burial card, the only record of his death, sits in the Watkins Community Museum of History. It reads simply: Died Feb. 8, 1909. Cause: Old age.

Harris would like to see the mysteries unraveled.

She sees that kind of thing happen in family history researching shows on TV. But as for the Shepherds/ Shepards, well, she says she might be too old for all that extensive research, or at least not of enough means. Don’t count her out, though — no matter what, it seems, she comes from a line of survivors.

“I’m 82, which has got nothing on 125,” she said.

“But I just tell people I come from good genes.”

Vicious Colorado wildfires spread

Helen H. Richardson/AP Photo

EVACUEES HEAD EAST ON U.S. HIGHWAY 24 TOWARD MANITOU SPRINGS, COLO., as they race to get away from a fire on Sunday. A wildfire near Colorado Springs erupted Saturday and grew out of control to more than 3 square miles early Sunday, prompting the evacuation of more than 11,000 residents and an unknown number of tourists. Authorities said Sunday that they were allowing about 5,000 of those residents to return. With eight wildfires burning, including a two-week-old fire that has scorched more than 118 square miles and destroyed 248 homes near Fort Collins, Colorado is having its worst wildfire season in a decade.

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

Officials: At least 1 dead in roof collapse ELLIOT LAKE, ONTARIO — At least one person was feared dead and another trapped inside the rubble of a roof collapse at mall in northern Ontario, authorities said Sunday.

More than 24 hours after the collapse, rescue workers were unable to reach the victims because the structure was too unstable. They said it would take until early this morning before the structure was deemed safe enough for search and rescue teams to go back in. Images taken with the camera show a hand and foot in the dusty debris, said Ontario Provincial Police Insp.

Percy Jollymore.

Fire officials heard tapping Sunday morning in another part of the rubble, but nothing had been heard for hours.

They said they also tried to reach that person by drilling through a wall, but found the structure too unsafe to risk entering far enough inside.

At least 22 people suffered minor injuries in the roof collapse Saturday afternoon at the Algo Centre Mall in Elliot Lake.

POLL

1 in 4 now uncommitted in White House race

By Jennifer Agiesta and Laurie Kellman Associated Press

WASHINGTON — They shrug at President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney.

They’re in no hurry to decide which one to support in the White House race.

And they’ll have a big say in determining who wins the White House.

One-quarter of U.S. voters are persuadable, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll, and both Obama and Romney will spend the next four months trying to convince these fickle, hard-to-reach individuals that only he has what it takes to fix an ailing nation.

It’s a delicate task.

These voters also hate pandering.

“I don’t believe in nothing they say,” says Carol Barber of Ashland, Ky., among the 27 percent of the electorate that hasn’t determined whom to back or that doesn’t have a strong preference about a candidate.

Like many uncommitted voters, the 66-year-old Barber isn’t really paying attention to politics these days.

She’s largely focused on her husband, who just had a liver transplant, and the fact that she had to Obama refinance her home to pay much of his health bill. “I just can’t concentrate on it now,” she says before adding, “If there were somebody running who knows what it’s like to struggle, that would be different.”

John Robinson, a 49-yearold general contractor from Santa Cruz, Calif., is paying a bit more attention, but is just as turned off by both candidates.

“I’m just bitter about everybody. They just keep talking and wavering,” said Robinson, a conservative who backed the GOP nominee in 2008, Arizona Sen. John McCain, but is undecided between Obama and Romney.

“There’s nothing I can really say that’s appealing about either one of them.”

To be sure, many of the 1 in 4 voters who today say they are uncommitted will settle on a candidate by Election Day, Nov. 6.

U n til then, O b a m a and Romney will spend huge amounts of time and Romney money trying to win their votes, especially in the most competitive states that tend to swing between Republicans and Democrats each presidential election. Obama and Romney face the same hurdle, winning over wavering voters without alienating core supporters they need to canvass neighborhoods and staff telephone banks this fall to help make sure their backers actually vote.

“It presents an interesting challenge to the campaigns,” said Steve McMahon, a founding partner in Purple Strategies, a bipartisan crisis management firm. “Moving to the middle means winning these voters, but it also means creating problems with your base.”

Overall, the poll found that among registered voters, 47 percent say they will vote for the president and 44 percent for Rom-

Neighbors: Sisters of girl kept in closet were clean, happy

By Heather Hollingsworth Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, MO. — Two little girls in a Kansas City apartment complex had perfectly braided hair, neighbors said Sunday, and were clean, happy and, if anything, “spoiled.”

But the girls, ages 2 and 8, had a secret: a 10-yearold sister who weighed just 32 pounds when she was freed Friday from a locked closet that reeked of urine.

“We are all still shocked,” neighbor Aishah Coppage, 28, said Sunday. “We never knew there was a third child.”

Officers freed the girl, who will turn 11 later this summer, after responding Friday morning to a call from a child abuse hotline.

The neighbors, including one of Coppage’s daughters and a niece, watched as the girl was carried to an ambulance wearing a dingy white, toddler-sized shirt and no shoes.

The mother, who lives in public housing, faces charges of assault and child abuse and endangerment in Jackson County Circuit Court. The Associated Press is not naming the mother to protect the child’s identity.

Mike Mansur, a spokesman for the Jackson County prosecutor’s office, said he didn’t know if the 29-year-old woman had an attorney. Janet Baker, the woman’s attorney in

a previous case, didn’t immediately return a call Sunday seeking comment.

The woman’s boyfriend has been questioned but is not charged. He is not the father of the 10-year-old, but is the father of the two younger children, who are in protective custody.

The closet where authorities believe the 10-year-old spent much of her time backed up to Coppage’s stairwell. Coppage said she never heard any banging on the walls or cries for help but added that music was always coming from the neighboring apartment.

Coppage said that the woman never mentioned the older girl and that the woman never let her younger daughters outside unless she was supervising them.

According to the probable cause statement, the mother told police that she didn’t let the oldest girl leave the house because she knew she is malnourished and would “get in trouble if someone saw her.”

Mansur, the prosecutor’s spokesman, said the mother hasn’t said why she singled the girl out.

ney, a difference that is not statistically significant.

Those totals include soft support, though, meaning people who lean toward a candidate as well as those who said they could change their minds before November. The poll showed that these persuadable voters are equally apt to lean toward Obama, Romney, or neither, with about one-third of them in each camp.

The survey also showed that these voters are more likely than others to say they distrust both Romney and Obama on the major issues. They are far more likely to think the outcome of the election won’t make a big difference on the economy, unemployment, the federal budget deficit or health care.

Islamist Morsi elected Egypt’s president

By Maggie Michael and Sarah El Deeb Associated Press

CAIRO — Islamist Mohammed Morsi was declared the winner Sunday in Egypt’s first free presidential election in history, closing the tumultuous first phase of a democratic transition and opening a new struggle with the stilldominant military rulers who recently stripped the presidency of most of its powers.

In Tahrir Square, the birthplace of the uprising that ousted autocratic President Hosni Mubarak, joyous supporters of Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood wept and kneeled on the ground in prayer when they heard the announcement on live television.

They danced, set off fireworks and released doves in the air with Morsi’s picture attached in celebrations not seen in the square since Mubarak was forced out on Feb. 11, 2011.

Many are looking now to see whether Morsi will try to take on the military and wrestle back the powers they took from his office just one week ago.

Thousands vowed to remain in Tahrir to demand that the ruling generals reverse their decision.

In his first televised speech, the 60-year old U.S.-trained engineer called on Egyptians to unite and tried to reassure minority Christians, who

mostly backed Morsi’s rival Ahmed Shafiq because they feared Islamic rule.

He said he carries “a message of peace” to the world and pledged to preserve Egypt’s international accords, a reference to the peace deal with Israel.

He also paid tribute to nearly 900 protesters killed in last year’s uprising.

“I wouldn’t have been here between your hands as the first elected president without ... the blood, the tears, and sacrifices of the martyrs,” he said.

In the lengthy and redundant speech, Morsi appeared to be struggling to compose his sentences.

Wearing a blue suit and tie, he looked stiff and

uncomfortable and did not smile throughout as he read from a paper. He was nonconfrontational and did not mention the last-minute power grab by the ruling military, instead praising the armed forces.

The White House congratulated Morsi and urged him to advance national unity as he forms a new government. White House press secretary Jay Carney said Morsi’s victory is a milestone in Egypt’s transition to democracy after decades of authoritarian rule under Mubarak. The Obama administration had expressed no public preference in the presidential race.

Survey: U.S. gas prices drop 15 cents CAMARILLO, CALIF. — The average U.S. price of a gallon of gasoline has dropped 15 cents over the past two weeks.

That’s according to the Lundberg Survey of fuel prices, released Sunday, which puts the price of a gallon of regular at $3.48.

Midgrade costs an average of $3.65 a gallon, and premium is at $3.77.

Diesel dropped 13 cents to $3.78 a gallon.

Of the cities surveyed in the lower 48 states, Jackson, Miss., has the nation’s lowest average price for gas at $3.03. San Francisco has the highest at $3.95.

In California, the lowest average price was $3.77 in Sacramento. The average statewide for a gallon of regular was $3.86, down 27 cents.

WASHINGTON — From Cape Hatteras, N.C., to just north of Boston, sea levels are rising much faster than they are around the globe, putting one of the world’s most costly coasts in danger of flooding, government researchers report.

U.S. Geological Survey scientists call the 600mile swath a “hot spot” for climbing sea levels caused by global warming. Along the region, the Atlantic Ocean is rising at an annual rate three times to four times faster than the global average since 1990, according to the study published Sunday in the journal Nature Climate Change.

It’s not just a faster rate but at a faster pace, like a car on a highway “jamming on the accelerator,” said the study’s lead author, Asbury Sallenger Jr., an oceanographer at the agency. He looked at sea levels starting in 1950 and noticed a change beginning in 1990.

Since then, sea levels have gone up globally about 2 inches. But in Norfolk, Va., where officials are scrambling to fight more frequent flooding, sea level has jumped a total of 4.8 inches, the research showed. For Philadelphia, levels went up 3.7 inches, and in New York City, it was 2.8 inches.

Climate change pushes up sea levels by melting ice sheets in Greenland and west Antarctica, and because warmer water expands.

Computer models long have projected higher levels along parts of the East Coast because of changes in ocean currents from global warming, but this is the first study to show that’s already happened.

By 2100, scientists and computer models estimate that sea levels globally could rise as much as 3.3 feet. The accelerated rate along the East Coast could add about 8 inches to 11 inches more, Sallenger said.

NATO to discuss downing of Turkish plane by Syria “

By Selcan Hacaoglu

Associated Press

ANKARA, TURKEY — NATO will hold emergency talks on Tuesday to discuss Syria’s downing of a Turkish jet fighter, but the alliance is not expected to take military action, even if it confirms Turkey’s claim that the unarmed plane was attacked in international airspace.

The incident has further raised regional tensions over the conflict in Syria, where some 40 people were reported killed Sunday in new clashes between rebels and government troops.

On Sunday, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton sharply criticized Syria for downing the Turkish plane, which Turkey’s Foreign Ministry called an “open and grave violation of international law” that would justify retaliation.

“The United States condemns this brazen and unacceptable act in the strongest possible terms,” Clinton said in Washington. “It is yet another reflection of the Syrian authorities’ callous disregard for international norms, human life, and peace and security.”

Clinton said Washington will maintain close contact with Turkish officials as they determine their response, including via the U.N. Security Council.

“We will work with Turkey and other partners to hold the Assad regime accountable,” she said.

It is yet another reflection of the Syrian authorities’ callous disregard for international norms, human life, and peace and security.”

— U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton , on Syria’s downing of a Turkish plane Turkish state media reported Sunday that the RF4E reconnaissance plane’s wreckage was found in the Mediterranean Sea at a depth of 4,265 feet, but officials did not confirm the report. The two pilots remained missing.

Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said the jet was on a training flight to test Turkey’s radar capabilities, not spying on Syria. He said the plane mistakenly strayed into Syrian airspace Friday, but was quickly warned to leave by Turkish authorities and was a mile inside international airspace when it was shot down.

Syria insisted Saturday that the shooting was “not an attack” and that the aircraft had violated its airspace. But Turkish authorities say Syria didn’t warn the Turkish plane or send its own jets to confront it.

Worthwhile trial The city of Lawrence has little to lose by giving a natural gas-powered vehicle a trial run.

C

ity of Lawrence officials are beginning a worthwhile experiment.

The city recently added its first natural gas-powered vehicle to its fleet of nearly 500 vehicles. The Ford F150 pickup truck that was converted to run on either compressed natural gas or unleaded gasoline is a modest experiment in whether the city can feasibly convert more of its vehicles to the less-expensive fuel.

It is a good first step. The city has little to lose by exploring the option of compressed natural gas vehicles. Black Hills Energy, the city’s largest natural gas utility, and Missouri-based Fuel Conversion Solutions donated the conversion kit for the truck. Black Hills also is allowing the city to use its compressed natural gas fueling station near the city’s shop facilities in east Lawrence.

And, currently, the city doesn’t have anything to lose when it comes to fuel prices. At today’s prices, it takes about $1.50 worth of compressed natural gas to equal one gallon of unleaded gasoline.

With such a price difference, the city has much to gain if this experiment proves feasible.

The city hopes to find out more about fuel mileage, maintenance issues and other such topics as it puts the new truck through its paces. After that, the city can have a broader discussion about whether it wants to make the significant investment to convert more of its fleet to natural gas.

Building a fueling station that could accommodate a fleet of vehicles will be an important consideration. Already a private convenience store chain — the local Zarco chain — has plans for a compressed natural gas fueling station near Ninth and Iowa.

Zarco officials hope the city’s interest in this project will spur interest from other large fleet operators. With that in mind, the city should make special efforts to share its data with other entities like Douglas County, Kansas University, and the company that operates the buses for Lawrence public schools.

It is unlikely any entity will be able to absorb the large cost of converting all their vehicles at once, but perhaps several entities could begin to phase in a conversion of their fleets.

Of course, it first must be proven that compressed natural gas will work in the real world here in Lawrence. Thanks to the city, we can start to answer that question.

Government leaks are nothing new WASHINGTON — It’s hard for a journalist to be objective on the subject of leaks, a bit like asking a lawyer if he thinks litigation is a good method for resolving disputes. People in the news business always have a bias toward more information, even on sensitive subjects involving intelligence policy.

So the reader should discount for my inherent bias in favor of informing the public, and of the process that leads to disclosure — namely, leaks.

We are in a new debate about leaks, flowing mainly from David Sanger’s new book, “Confront and Conceal,” which is largely about the Obama administration’s covert actions.

(The reader should be aware of another personal bias, which is that Sanger is a friend even though he regularly beats the rest of us in breaking big stories.) What motivates critics is their belief that President Obama’s advisers deliberately leaked secrets.

Actually, it’s more than a belief; Sanger pretty much says it outright. In a concluding “note on sources,” he explains: “Almost every senior member of the president’s national security team was generous enough to sit down and talk through their experiences, some more than once.” Sanger says that concerning his most sensitive revelations, about “Olympic Games,” the code name for a U.S.-Israeli cyberwarfare assault against Iran, “both American and foreign sources demanded complete anonymity.” Maybe so, but in

“

Anyone doubting that the previous administration authorized nationalsecurity leaks need only consult the four excellent Bush books by my colleague Bob Woodward.” reading the book we can guess who some of the key informants may have been.

Let me offer three cautionary comments — not to minimize the issue of national-security leaks, but to note some realities understood by every journalist working in this area, which may not be clear to the public.

My first caution is that when it comes to national-security leaks, every administration does it. Reading Sanger’s book (and his coverage in The New York Times) it was obvious that he learned many important secrets about cyberattacks against Iran during the George W. Bush administration, as well as during the Obama administration.

Among the sensational Bush-

era revelations: The cyberwar against Iran originated in 2006, when Bush complained to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and national security adviser Stephen Hadley that his choices about the Iranian nuclear program were to either bomb it or accept it. “’I need a third option,’ Bush told them repeatedly.” Sanger says Bush was later convinced the cyberattack would work when, after elaborate testing of mock-ups, he “saw the remnants of a destroyed centrifuge.”

Sanger also reveals that during his last year in office, Bush was briefed on a plan to sabotage Iran’s secret nuclear facility outside Qom by planting hidden equipment in the cement pads that would seal the entrance.

This would have involved a risky insertion of special operations forces, and “Bush balked,” according to Sanger.

Anyone doubting that the previous administration authorized national-security leaks need only consult the four excellent Bush books by my colleague Bob Woodward.

There are “secrets” on nearly every page, and the Bush White House has confirmed that in some instances, the president cooperated and instructed others to do the same.

When the 9/11 commission was battling over declassification of material, one member recalls preparing a tabbed version of Woodward’s “Bush at War,” to illustrate how much had already been leaked.

My second caution is that good reporters start by as-

sembling stories in bits and pieces. When they have enough, they go to high-level sources in the White House or elsewhere and say: I’ve got the story and I’m planning to run it, whether you cooperate or not. Sometimes this is a bluff, but administrations usually decide it’s best to help the journalist get it right. The stories come to them pre-cooked, in other words, rather than being dished out from scratch.

Sanger offers a frank explanation of how this works in describing his September 2009 scoop about an Iranian letter disclosing the Qom facility. “The issue was too classified to discuss, I was told.

Well, I said, it wouldn’t be in a few hours, after we wrote a story describing the Iranian letter and the secret facility.”

Top National Security Council sources duly cooperated.

The final caution is that journalists do query government officials before publishing secrets, and they often agree to withhold particularly sensitive details. The disclosures in Sanger’s book are remarkable, but I suspect it’s equally amazing what he had but didn’t publish, as he says, “at the government’s request, and in consultation with editors.”

Why do people confide these wiring-diagram details, that even reporters recognize sometimes shouldn’t be in print?

That, as I remarked at a conference several decades ago, is one of life’s great mysteries.

To the editor: I have to respond to Anna Slemmer’s letter to the editor on June 20 ridiculing those who are pro-life. I am neither a “gray-haired old man” nor an “unmarried clergyman” (as you stereotyped those who oppose abortion), and yet I am prolife. Why? Not because I want to keep women pregnant, in the kitchen and dependent, as you indicate in your letter. I am a woman, for heaven’s sake, one who is pretty darn independent at that. And it’s certainly not because I haven’t forgiven Eve for what happened in the garden, as your letter states. Where did that idea even come from?

But I’m pro-life because I believe in protecting babies, innocent little ones, who have no say on what happens to them in the womb. I believe that every unborn child should have a chance at life. It’s as simple as that. And if that is archaic, so be it. I will always advocate for those most helpless, especially the unborn.

Diane Chrislip, Eudora

American values To the editor: Lapel pin patriot (LPP), this is what I call people who believe that having an American flag on their house or on their lapel makes them an American. Well there is a lot more to being an American than that. LPPs strut around, declaring that this is a

land of majority rules and quoting the Constitution, waving a tea bag in the air declaring that this is the land of the free and the brave and at the same time proposing laws and constitutional amendments that abolish the rights of others in the minority.

Well, LLPs have it wrong.

The Constitution is there to protect the rights of all, and it doesn’t matter if you’re Christian or not, rich or not, male or not, white or not, native born or not, or straight or LGBT. We are a nation of differences, and these differences have made us a strong nation. This is a nation of rights, and to force your beliefs upon another through constitutional amendments and laws that limit the rights of others isn’t what our founders envisioned.

So all you lapel pin patriots need to read the Constitution and respect the rights of others or take that pin off your lapel because you aren’t an American where it counts.

It’s one of the oldest and easiest games of basketball known to man and also the setting for Part II of our summer series of fun and memorable questions that cover some of the biggest and best names in Kansas University sports history.

Horse, also known as H-O-R-S-E, includes just a couple of basic rules and is about as cut and dry as games come. Miss a shot, get a letter.

First one to log all five letters of the word is out until there’s just one player left standing.

In this proverbial game of H-O-R-S-E, our panelists employ a variety of angles in coming up with the list of four people from KU basketball history that they’d invite to a game. Some, like Tom Keegan and Matt Tait, picked guys they thought they would have a chance to compete against. Others, like Gary Bedore and Jesse Newell went with the good-guy vibe and picked people they would enjoy being around. And, finally, Andrew Hartsock went with a combo of the two schools of thought.

Either way, all five lists bring a different flavor to the question, and since it’s all fictional anyway, we’ll never know which guys would actually have a shot to win their games. Then again, maybe we already know that answer.

KU track star Royals slam four homers in 11-8 loss Dixon earns Olympic spot J-W Staff Reports

EUGENE, ORE. — The dream season for Kansas University track star Diamond Dixon continued on Sunday, with the KU sophomore earning a spot on the 4x400-meter U.S. Olympic team which will compete next month in London.

Dixon placed fifth in the finals of the 400 I’ve meters on Sunday at the accomOlympic Trials at Hayward Field. Her time plished my of 50.88 seconds was dream and enough to place her on I’m just so the six-member relay grateful.” team.

“I’m very honored to have made the Olympic — Kansas team,” Dixon said. “It University track was a tough race but I star Diamond just tried to get out to DIxon a good start, maintain and not panic. I knew it would come down to the last 100 meters so I dug in and just tried to get the best finish I could. I’ve accomplished my dream and I’m just so grateful.”

Dixon’s time was Dixon a career best, beats school record and came despite her being the only collegiate runner in the field.

Several current and former Jayhawks remain alive in their quest to join Dixon on the U.S. Olympic team, with triple jumper Andrea Geubelle, discus thrower Mason Finley and 3,000-meter steeplechase competitor Rebeka Stowe all competing today.

Geubelle will compete in the finals at 7:45, while Finley and Stowe will begin qualifying rounds earlier in the day.

KANSAS CITY, MO. — Losing is always tough. Wasting four home runs in an 11-8 setback to St. Louis felt particularly galling to the Kansas City Royals on Sunday.

The loss gave the visitors a three-game sweep in Kauffman Stadium just a week after KC took two out of three on the Cardinals turf.

“It’s real disappointing any time you drop three straight,” said Mike Moustakas, the second-year third baseman who hit two of the home runs and had three RBIs. “We played good baseball today and battled back, but we just couldn’t get there at the end.”

Carlos Beltran had a threerun home run and Matt Holliday and Allen Craig each drove in two runs for the Cardinals, who had scored just eleven runs their three previous games but amassed 41 hits and 30 runs in routing the Royals on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Starter Jonathan Sanchez and reliever Tim Collins (42) combined to give the Cardinals nine walks on Sunday.

And while two of the walks were intentional, that just means the pitchers had done something earlier in the inning to cause trouble for themselves.

“When you set in to play these games, you want the opposition to beat you,” said Royals manager Ned Yost. “When you are walking guys and making errors, you are actually beating yourself.”

Jeff Francoeur had a solo home run for the Royals and Billy Butler delivered a tworun shot in the ninth.

Trying since April to recover from a 12-game losing streak, the Royals had fought back to just five games under .500. But the pitching

Beltran’s home run came on an 0-2 pitch.

“He’s a pretty good hitter,” said Sanchez. “At 0-2, that (home run pitch) was a mistake and he took advantage of it.”

Patience, said Cardinals manager Mike Matheny, was key in causing the bats to come alive.

“Guys aren’t chasing many pitches out of the (strike) zone. That’s kind of what’s going on here.”

In heaping three days of abuse upon KC pitchers, the heavy-hitting Cardinals rapped out 17 hits and 11 runs on Friday and 16 hits and eight runs on Saturday before completing their first sweep in Kansas City since 2009 with an 11-8 victory on Sunday.

“We know we’re a good offensive team that’s going to be able to score runs.

It’s good to see guys getting healthy and swinging the bat a lot better,” said Beltran.

Beltran is tied with Milwaukee’s Ryan Braun for the NL lead. The three RBIs boosted his total to 56, one more than league-leader Andre Ethier had prior to the Dodgers’ game at the Angels.

For the three-game series between the state rivals, Beltran had five hits and eight RBIs. He’s also one homer shy of 200 in the National League.

He has 322 overall.

“I don’t really focus on numbers,” he said. “I do look at my numbers at the end of the year and decide what type of year I have. Right now, we have a lot of baseball to play. I just need to focus and help this team win as many ballgames as we can.”

Moustakas, the second overall pick in the 2007 draft, hit a two-run, 442-foot shot

off Lance Lynn in the first inning and led off the fourth with a 387-foot shot for his first multihomer game. He also had a single and three RBIs. “I just got some good pitches to hit today and I didn’t miss them,” Moustakas said.

Lynn agreed.

“I made mistakes and both the guys who hit them are good hitters,” he said.

“Moustakas is a great young power hitter and I threw him two fastballs over the plate and he hit them. Then I hung a breaking ball to Francoeur.

You’ve got to make better pitches to those guys.”

Sanchez gave up only four hits in 5 2-3 innings but walked six, allowed two home runs and threw a wild pitch while allowing six runs. !

MIAMI — Here’s what I hope.

I just hope nobody associated with the Heat says anything regrettable at today’s championship parade.

Nothing too cocky.

Nothing too arrogant.

No guarantees of a repeat championship.

No echoes of LeBron James’ introductory celebration two summers ago, the last time we saw the Big Three as giddy as they were after closing out the Thunder in Game 5 of the NBA Finals. “Not four, not five, not six ...� has already been done.

Oh, don’t we all know that by now.

But what about, “Let’s do it again next year!�?

Is that safe enough for LeBron or somebody else associated with the Heat to say come Monday’s downtown party?

Pat Riley did it nearly a quarter century ago, when he dramatically spun around and put the onus on his aging Lakers to deliver on his promise of a “three-peat,� a term he liked so much he had it copyrighted.

If he wouldn’t bite when Stuart Scott tried to get him to go there at the trophy presentation, the Heat president is probably done making such bold pronouncements.

LeBron? He’s learned his lesson as well, it appears.

The media pharisees didn’t like him invoking Michael Jordan’s resume before he’d even been sized for that first championship ring.

So after spending much of the past two years apologizing for those wild words, LeBron also figures to play it safe.

The Heat will have been NBA champions for roughly 84 hours by the time their parade reaches the steps of AmericanAirlines Arena. That’s more than enough time for Tim Donovan and his PR staff to get everybody on message, but emotions have a funny way of overriding our better judgment.

So does exhaustion.

Ever wake up from a 3-day bender? The Heat are about to, and hundreds of cameras will be there to record the moment.

They are calling themselves Team No Sleep. Dwyane Wade tweeted about it over the weekend, not long after he and actress girlfriend Gabrielle Union had a hilarious exchange over Wade “butt-dialing� Union’s stepmother at 3 a.m. “The definition of #TeamNoSleep,� Wade tweeted to his 3.4 million followers. “We are partying ... right up until the parade on Monday.�

This was a Diddy-level bacchanalia, and it spills back into full public view today. “You know what, we could still get better,� Udonis Haslem said after Game 5. “We still have room for improvement.

It’s funny, but I’m already thinking about next year a little bit.�

That’s fine. It’s just that after all they’ve been through, they need to be careful about how loudly they say that in public.

4-0 with a 1.29 in four NCAA tournament starts.

Sunday’s loss ended the Gamecocks’ streak of yielding two runs or less in four straight CWS games.

Arizona, which hasn’t trailed in the CWS, will go for the title at 7 tonight in Game 2 of the best-of-three series.

Changing Sox: Boston deals Youkilis to Chicago BOSTON — Kevin Youkilis took off his batting helmet, waved to the crowd and blew a kiss to his adoring fans.

A favorite at Fenway Park for so long, he wanted a final chance to say so long.

The Boston Red Sox traded away the hardnosed Youkilis on Sunday, sending the threetime All-Star infielder and cash to the Chicago White Sox for utilityman Brent Lillibridge and right-hander Zach Stewart.

A member of Boston teams that won the World Series in 2004 and 2007, the 33-year-old Youkilis had seen his playing time drastically cut lately. He now joins the AL Central-leading White Sox, who wanted a regular third baseman. “I just got off the phone with him, he’s very excited to join our club and he’s got a little edge to him that I like,� White Sox general manager Kenny Williams said. “I can’t tell you exactly what he said, but he wants to come in and prove some people wrong.�

Youkilis had a rousing end to his days with the Red Sox. After hitting an RBI triple in the seventh inning of a 9-4 win over the Atlanta Braves, he was lifted for a pinch runner. Longtime pal Nick Punto came out to replace him and the pair hugged.

Youkilis saluted the crowd and was rewarded with a standing ovation. His teammates, coaches and manager Bobby Valentine all were on the top step of the dugout cheering for him, and they urged Youkilis to take a curtain call.

Youkilis’ time in Boston became limited because of the play of rookie Will Middlebrooks, hitting .326 with nine homers and 34 RBIs in 41 games.

The season started kind of rocky between Youkilis and first-year manager Valentine.

In April, Valentine questioned Youkilis’ commitment to the game in his weekly television interview, then later apologized to him a day later.

Youkilis, who can play both of the corner infield spots, is a career .286 hitter with 133 homers and 563 RBIs.

LAWRENCE RAIDERS STARTING PITCHER TROY WILLOUGHBY DELIVERS A PITCH as a Topeka baserunner makes a break toward second base on Sunday at Hoglund Ballpark.

Raiders shut down Topeka in 8-0 rout

By Chris Duderstadt cduderstadt@ljworld.com

The Lawrence Raiders clicked on all cylinders against the Topeka Capitals on the way to an 8-0 run-rule victory Sunday in their final game of the Kansas University tournament at Hoglund Ballpark.

“It was a complete ballgame like these kids are capable of doing,” Raiders coach Brad Romme said.

“In our very few short talks that we’ve had, it’s just to play a complete game on both sides of the ball.”

Lawrence put together a two-out rally to take a 2-0 lead in the top of the first against Topeka starting pitcher Jordan Haugen.

Aaron Waldeck drove in Aaron Gile with an RBI single for the Raiders’ first run and then came home to score on another RBI single from CJ Roush.

When the Capitals threatened to get on the scoreboard in their half of the first inning, Roush made a diving catch in right-center field to take extra bases away from Jaren Kutzke. Roush then threw the ball to Waldeck to double Haugen off first base.

“It was pretty exciting,” Roush said. “It was probably one of the best catches that I’ve ever made. I got a little burn on my hand that wasn’t too fun, but it was pretty fun after I made it.”

The Raiders scored two more runs in the second when Trevor Champagne knocked in John Fellers and Cam Solko.

HORSE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

Anyway, on with this week’s lists:

Matt Tait Markieff Morris — Markieff’s a good shooter, but I think he thinks he’s a great shooter. As long as there’s no dunking allowed, that could keep me in it.

Kenny Gregory — KG was a lights-out shooter in high school but never showed that while at KU. He’s one of my all-time favorite Jayhawks so rooting against him will be weird, but I’m hoping for one of those cold streaks.

Brett Ballard — One of the new assistant coaches at Tulsa and I have been pretty good friends for a while now, so I’ll toss him into the competition in hopes that all of the ridiculous inside jokes I can throw at him might make it hard for him to focus.

Joe Dooley — They call him the Shot Doctor and I’d love to see him in action.

Andrew Hartsock Dr. James Naismith — But only if we could use peach baskets.

Wilt Chamberlain — Surely Chamberlain, a no-

“

These seniors from (Lawrence and Lawrence Free State) high schools, we played together last summer and this is just how we do things. We come out and take care of business and anything less than a win is not up to par.”

— Lawrence Raiders’ Trevor Champagne The Capitals then helped out the Raiders by committing two errors in fourth, which resulted in three runs. After Fellers singled to left field, Champagne hit a double down the third base line to bring Gile to the plate with two runners in scoring position. Gile hit a ground ball to the shortstop, but was safe because of a wild throw to first. Gile advanced to second after the throw as Fellers and Champagne came in to score. Waldeck followed up Gile with a single to left field, which left runners at the corners until the Capitals committed their second throwing error of the inning to push Gile across the plate and move Waldeck in to second.

After Troy Willoughby pitched three scoreless innings for the Raiders, Devin Garcia entered the game in relief. Topeka loaded the bases with two outs, but Garcia struck out Derrick Bohn to end the

toriously bad free-throw shooter, would S-U-C-K at H-O-R-S-E, too, right?

Max Falkenstien — I’ve seen the man play handball, and let me assure you, dude can ball. But I might — MIGHT — be able to take him at H-O-R-S-E. Lynette Woodard — Woodard scored 3,749 points in her four-year career and would so totally kick my butt in HO-R-S-E, but darned if Woodard, one of the best women’s players ever, isn’t also one of the nicest people on the planet.

Maybe she’d take pity on me.

Tom Keegan David Johanning — Sandbar proprietor whose claim to fame is being KU’s all-time leader in blocked shots per minutes played also claims that his shooting range did not extend beyond dunking. Since dunks aren’t allowed in H-O-R-S-E, here’s one guy who won’t win the game.

Sasha Kaun — A terrific defender, Kaun’s another guy who had limited shooting range, which makes him ill-suited for the rules of this game.

Dean Smith — A far better coach than he was a player, Smith would have the need to coach someone to victory and I would try to position myself to be that guy.

Wilt Chamberlain — Just the chance to meet him makes him an easy choice and there’s always a shot he could pile up letters at and around the free-throw line. The gentle giant qualifies as one of the greatest athletes of all-time.

Wilt Chamberlain — He would be fun to watch while doing any basketball activity, and I can imagine he would be the trick-shot king.

Interleague Athletics 4, Giants 2 OAKLAND, CALIF. — Derek Norris hit a three-run shot with two outs in the ninth inning for his first major league home run, and the Athletics walked off with a stunning victory over the San Francisco Giants on Sunday night.

Norris, who graduated from Goddard High School in 2007, hammered a full-count pitch from Santiago Casilla (1-3) over the left-field wall to help the A’s avoid the first three-game sweep by San Francisco in Oakland.

Dear Annie: My daughter-in-law is bipolar and refuses to take anything for it. Now her illness is affecting my relationship with my 9-year-old grandson. My husband and I practically raised my grandson until he was 4. Neither parent wanted much to do with him. We clothed and fed him without a stitch of help. A few years ago, however, the two of them finally noticed how close we were to the boy, and they began bribing him to stay at home by buying him everything under the sun. He still spent weekends with us, but his mother would grill him afterward to find out what we had talked about.

A few weeks ago, she and I talked, and I thought we had a good discussion. We reassured her that all we wanted to know was how our grandson was

doing in school. But we discovered that my daughter-in-law was pressuring him to say something negative about us, and eventually, he started telling her all kinds of things that weren’t remotely true.

What’s worse is that my daughter-in-law put our entire estrangement on Facebook and called me a few nasty names to boot.

HBO film explores online fame The 2012 documentary “Me the Zoo” (8 p.m., HBO) examines the curious contemporary phenomenon of instant Internet celebrity.

The film profiles teenage video blogger Chris Crocker, who gained near-universal recognition with his “Leave Britney Alone” manifesto. Along the way, “Me the Zoo” ponders how social media have changed the way young people communicate, tell stories and conduct their lives, online and off.

Crocker lives with his grandparents and seems to document every moment of his waking life.

His insistence on identifying as a woman has made him the object of bullying and has confused his loved ones.

In one of his many films, his grandmother declares, “I can’t realize you’re a girl when you are standing here looking like a guy.”

After being beaten up and taunted in public schools, Crocker was home-schooled and discovered the Internet as a way to connect with the outside world.

Crocker’s online performances and his defense of Britney Spears have brought him an enormous audience and some measure of fame.

But is he any less isolated? Is there a difference between communicating and “performing”?

Between “documenting” life and living it?

The slackers on “Workaholics” (8 p.m., Comedy Central) celebrate a holiday of their own invention: Half-Christmas. Upset that their boss doesn’t give them time off for the quasi-yuletide, they go on strike.

In keeping with the brand-new tradition, Comedy Central also repeats “Jeff Dunham’s Very Special Christmas Special” (7 p.m.), a holiday puppet extravaganza from 2008.

Tonight’s other highlights

U.S. Olympic Swimming Trials (7 p.m., NBC).

Fashion sets the agenda on “Hell’s Kitchen” (7 p.m., Fox).

Ricky mulls a job offer on “The Secret Life of the American Teenager” (7 p.m., ABC Family).

Judges break the gang into teams and give them the breakfast shift at a resort on “MasterChef” (8 p.m., Fox).

Fanny’s lawyer delivers some disturbing news on “Bunheads” (8 p.m., ABC Family).

Evidence of sabotage on “Eureka” (8 p.m., Syfy).

What bothers me most is that my own son won’t stand up for us. Do we just hope they come to their senses some day?

— At a Loss Dear Loss: These estrangements are heartbreaking, not only because the grandparents lose out, but the grandchildren are deprived of a loving relationship. Some states recognize grandparents rights, but not all, which is why we recommend trying to get back in your daughter-in-law’s good graces, whether or not she deserves it. She controls the relationship.

The alternative is to lose contact entirely.

UNIVERSAL CROSSWORD

ON THE TIP OF MY TONGUE By Raz Kelper

6/25

sions make me uncomfortable. I don’t want to tell him what I’m really thinking. And more often than not, I’m completely caught off guard and blindsided by his statements. How do I respond without putting my job in jeopardy or making him angry? — No Political Talk Dear No: It’s perfectly OK to tell someone that you are uncomfortable discussing politics at work. If that doesn’t help, your safest bet is to politely ignore him, nodding and busying yourself with work. Or plaster a big smile on your face and reply, “We’ll just have to agree to disagree.” Repeat as needed. Of course, if he harangues you, you should mention it to huACROSS man resources.

Training for a first triathlon Editor’s note: This is a special column for the Health and Beauty Issue of Go! Remnant Rehab will return in two weeks.

BY KATIE BEAN

A

few years ago, a friend of mine started running half marathons.

She’s inspired many of our friends to run, too, and many of them have also done half marathons.

But not me. Running never appealed to me. I told her something would have to be chasing me to get me to run.

However, nothing was chasing me when I competed in my first triathlon this month, and I still finished.

I got the idea on Christmas Day when my roommate’s father told me how he used to participate in the Topeka Tinman Triathlon. Suddenly, a light bulb went on — I thought, “I bet I could do that.” I looked it up after our conversation to find out the date of this year’s race and discovered I’d have plenty of time to train.

I had thought about doing a triathlon before, in passing — usually when I read one was coming up that weekend or happening that day. But I’d quickly forget about it.

This time, the thought stuck. I decided to do the Tinman short course race: a 400-meter swim, 13-mile bike ride and 5k run.

One motivator: my 30th birthday, which was this month. I figured finishing a triathlon would be a satisfying accomplishment for a milestone year. I also figured it would be a good way to get into exercising regularly — I hoped this would become a habit I could keep up after the race.

Why a triathlon? I love swimming and biking. As I said, though, I’ve never been a fan of running. I hadn’t even tried since middle school gym. Unfortunately, I don’t think swimming-biking-rollerblading triathlons exist. But I decided if almost ev-

Katie, post-race eryone I know could be a runner, surely I could manage 3.1 miles.

I started looking into training programs and found a “couch to triathlon” schedule at BeginnerTriathlete.com, which seemed appropriate. It even starts you out just walking before trying to run. I started the program Jan. 2.

I didn’t tell a lot of people when I first started training. That’s probably not good for accountability, but the training was time-consuming, and the running was going terribly at first, so I was afraid to announce it and then quit later.

Some time on the treadmill helped me when I started to think the running just wasn’t going to happen. I had no idea how to pace myself, so I’d been running as fast as I thought I should and then would get winded after a block. With the treadmill determining my pace, I managed to run a whole mile, a victory for me.

I signed up for the triathlon in March.

By April, I was tired. The training called for nine workouts per week; I usually skipped some, so I was doing six or seven 30- to 120-minute workouts per week.

At the beginning of May, I talked to someone who had done several triathlons.

He gave me a lot of advice and helped me realize that the program I was on was not tailored to my race — I didn’t need to train so far beyond the distances I’d be racing.

After that, I revised my workouts and only loosely followed the schedule.

As I was researching the week before my race, I read that someone in relatively good shape should be able to train for a triathlon in three months — about half as long as I did. No wonder I was so tired.

But I probably needed the whole five and a half months to work on my running, since I’d never done it before.

Those many months of training were put to good use at my race, though. I finished, and with much faster times than I expected. Because I mostly trained solo, I think being around other people at the race gave me an even bigger boost than the usual racing surge.

I did walk some of the 5k. It was humid and getting hot. I was tired. I knew my first two legs went way faster than I’d expected. I gave myself a break. Somehow, I still finished faster than I would have imagined.

I felt good after the race — until about 30 minutes after I finished, when it suddenly hit me how worn out I was. I sat, ate a banana, replenished fluids and then felt good again.

If I continue in athletic endeavors, I’ll have to stick with triathlons. First of all, I have all the equipment now. And I’ll probably never be a great runner, so I need the swimming and biking legs to boost my overall results.

My guess is that I’ll do it again. Next time, I’ll try to run the whole last leg.

Beyond meat: Americans preoccupied with protein

BY MICHAEL HILL, ASSOCIATED PRESS

C

arbs? Calories? Fat? They are so very last decade. Dieters and would-be healthy eaters know the nutrient of the moment being tallied, sought and bought is protein.

Spurred by trainers, diet gurus and weight-loss plans, Americans are seeking more — and more unique — sources of protein, from almonds ground into milk and soy reshaped as pasta, to peas and whey turned into powders and shakes.

And food producers are happy to oblige.

Powders and energy bars packed with 20, 30 or even more grams of protein per serving are selling briskly. Supermarket shelves once crowded with foods boasting of being high in fiber or low in fat now are jammed with claims of protein content.

Yet this is happening even as Americans eat less meat, the go-to source of protein for generations.

“People are getting smarter about foods in general,” said Phil Lempert, a food marketing expert known as The Supermarket Guru.

He sees higher meat prices driving people to other sources of protein, a movement that has becoming more pronounced this year.

“Longer term, I think you’re going to see people starting to look at more vegetables and different combinations to create proteins like rice and beans.”

Amanda Perry — an on-the-go mom with two jobs and a 1-year-old — is a good example. She counts on lots of protein to keep her feeling full and full of energy. But she needs it to be portable, so she often mixes protein powder with almond milk, maybe a banana and some peanut butter.

“It’s easily portable, which I think is awesome for busy people because you’re on the run,” said Perry, a 31-year-old personal trainer who owns a gym in Chelmsford, Mass., with her husband. “You can’t really take a chicken breast or a piece of steak with you if you’re going to be out for several hours.”

Red meat, a rich source of protein, is going through an especially bumpy run.

Prices are up, and so are health concerns about beef and its saturated fat content.

Americans are expected to consume about 15 percent less beef on a per capita basis this year compared to 2007, according to Steiner & Company, an economic consultant to the food industry. Per capita consumption of all red meat and poultry is expected to be down by 10 percent over the same period.

But if forces are pushing people away from meat, health conscious Americans are simultaneously being lured to other sources of protein, such as nuts, beans, soy and seafood.

Protein has had popularity peaks before — think of the Atkins diet craze not so many years ago — though this time there are a chorus of voices touting the benefits of proteinheavy regimens like the Paleo Diet, which stresses the lean meats and wild plants eaten by our ancestors. And it’s being helped along by accumulating evidence that plant-based protein can lower cholesterol levels and have other beneficial effects.

A trip down the grocery aisle shows food makers are tuned in to this trend and happy to engage shoppers about it, from Yoplait Greek yogurts (“2X protein”) to Boca meatless lasagna (“21 g protein”) to Perdue chicken breast tenders (“excellent source of protein”).

Like your protein concentrated? Analysts say sales are up for high-protein bars.

“As Americans are becoming more health conscious and busier, protein bar sales are increasing because they are a convenient way to gain protein on the go,” said IBISWorld analyst Mary Nanfelt, adding that many protein bars are eaten after a workout to help the stressed-out muscles.

Also popular are the protein-rich powders, often made with whey, once associated mostly with weightlifters looking to bulk up. Perry said her protein powders — which are vegan because they sit in her stomach better — make her feel more energetic.

“I used to be afraid of it. And I have friends and clients who are sort of afraid of it. They think, ‘Oh, I’m going to gain too much weight, it’s too many calories.’ But what they don’t know — and this is common for a lot of women — is that they’re not getting enough calories, and they’re not getting enough protein.”

Actually, most Americans eat plenty of protein. The latest available federal survey of what Americans eat, which covers 2007-2008, shows both men and women commonly consuming more protein than needed, sometimes by a third or more.

Of course, the amount of protein needed varies by age, weight and activity level, though federal recommendations suggest 56 grams daily for a 154 pound man and 46 grams for a 126 pound woman. Those levels are not difficult to achieve if, say, you scramble eggs for breakfast, grab a couple of slices of pepperoni pizza for lunch and eat chicken and broccoli for dinner.

BEAUTY FROM THE INSIDE OUT

BY ERIN HEGER

B

efore she started working in the nutrition industry, Amy Aaron was 215 pounds with dark circles under eyes. She was always tired and suffered from migraine headaches.

“I was on three different anti-depressant medications,” Aaron said. “And I wasn’t eating well.”

Once introduced to good nutrition, Aaron, owner of Imagine Nutrition, 3300 Bob Billings Parkway, started eating an abundance of organic vegetables, chicken and fish. She lost 50 pounds in five months and has kept off a total of 76 pounds.

In addition to the weight loss, Aaron said she also saw a dramatic change in her skin and hair.

“Within three days of changing my lifestyle, the dark circles under my eyes went away,” she said. “Now my hair grows like crazy and I can’t keep up with it.”

NUTRIENTS A balanced diet is not only essential to a

healthy lifestyle, but in addition to weight loss, can also enhance appearance.

Some of the best nutrients for healthy skin, hair and nails include collagen, biotin and omega fatty acids, said Aaron Boos, owner of Lawrence Nutrition Center, 4931 W. Sixth St. Collagen is a group of proteins vital for body function and it also strengthens skin.

Aging, sun exposure and smoking can cause collagen to break down.

Biotin is a common vitamin in nature and small amounts are naturally found in food. Biotin supports hair growth and overall hair health. When taken as part of a regular regimen, biotin makes hair stronger and helps hair grow faster.

Eggs are a good source of biotin, Boos said. Carrots also contain biotin, as well as beta-carotene, which promotes general eye health. A variety of nuts such as almonds and walnuts, also supply the body with biotin and protein. Nuts are also high in omega-3 fatty acids, and contain vitamin E, which works with vitamin C to rebuild collagen.

Citrus fruits such as oranges, grapefruits,

MONDAY, JUNE 25, 2012

and limes are rich in vitamin C, which is essential for the synthesis of collagen. Dark green vegetables, such as spinach, kale, collard greens and arugula, are also high in vitamin C. These veggies increase collagen in skin and help the body use protein effectively. Tomatoes also help protect skin from sun damage.

“Vitamin C is great for age spots and overall brightening of the skin,” said Corinne Krei, manager at Beauty Brands, 3514 Clinton Pkwy.

Blueberries and pomegranates are also high in vitamin C and contain antioxidants called anthocyanins, which help protect from wrinkles and dryness.

Omega fatty acids found in fish, such as salmon and tuna, also create an ideal environment for collagen production. These fatty acids can also be found in cashews and almonds as well as avocados, Boos said.

Extra calcium strengthens bones, aids in weight loss and benefits hair and nails, Aaron said. Deficiency of calcium in the body can cause migraine headaches among other health complications.

While collagen, biotin, and omega fatty acids are found in foods, most people need more than they can naturally consume.

“If you can get these vitamins in high enough levels in food, getting them in food is better,” Boos said. “But you will probably also need a little supplementation.”

Even if a person is consuming the recommended daily servings of fish, for instance, an omega-3 supplement is still needed.

“Supplementation is pertinent. Our bodies need supplementation,” Aaron said. “If you’re not eating fish all

day, you’ve got to take a supplement of omega-3. You would have to eat an abundance of fish to get the omega3s the body needs.”

In addition to recommended food, vitamins and supplements, the amount of sleep a person gets every night and the amount of water he or she consumes also affect overall health and appearance.

Most adults need a minimum of eights hours of sleep a night. Men should consume about three liters of water a day, while women should consumer about 2.2 liters, according to the Institute of Medicine.

“Water is very important,” Boos said. “Water and sleep are two great, free things you can do for yourself without even walking into a store.”

Exercise also improves health and is an important part of weight loss. However, exercise does not replace the need for balanced nutrition.

“Exercise is great. If you can get it into your day, totally do it,” Aaron said. “But 80 percent of what our bodies look like inside and out is what you put in your mouth.”

When it comes to foods for wellness and beauty, variety is best. An overall balanced diet of lean proteins, fruits, vegetables, whole grains and fish will keep hair and skin healthy.

A balanced diet increases collagen production, which in turn improves skin tone as well as overall health.

“The cleaner you eat, the better you are going to feel and the better your skin is going to look,” Aaron said.

“Good nutrition is an amazing thing when you put it into your body.”

Protect kids from accidental overdose Annually, more than 60,000 children age 5 or younger are treated in emergency rooms for accidental ingestion of household medicines. Most often this happens after a child has gotten into medicine while their parents or caregivers were not looking.

In partnership with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s PROTECT Initiative, CDC and the Consumer Healthcare Products Association Educational Foundation created the Up and Away and Out of Sight educational program to help parents understand how to best safeguard the medicines they use at home.

Use these tips and resources to make sure your child is protected: ! Never leave medicine or

vitamins out on a kitchen counter or at a sick child’s bedside. ! Never tell children medicine

is candy. ! Tell children what medicine

is and why you must be the one to give it to them. ! Program the poison control

center number (1-800-2221222) into your phones.

Daughter’s road trip a rite of passage Dear Dr. Wes and Miranda: Please publish this as quickly as you can because I have to make a decision. My daughter and her two girlfriends want to take a senior road trip before college starts in the fall. I didn’t like the idea when they brought it up in March but thought it was going to be a moot point due to cost. Then gas prices went down, so now it’s on again.

I don’t think it’s safe for a carload of teen girls to be on the highways without an adult. My daughter says, “We have a Garmin, Mom, we’ll be fine.”

Miranda: A senior trip can be a right of passage for a lot of teens beginning their journey into adulthood. This is, of course, a worry for most parents, and handling it can be sticky. As a parent, you want to keep your daughter safe, without insulting her newfound independence. It can be a tough balancing act, but the safety of your teen should always be your first priority.

With that in mind, saying “no” flat-out probably isn’t the best option.

This is actually a great opportunity to work with your daughter to reach a compromise. Suggest that a group of parents travel in another car behind or along the same path in case something bad happens.

The other option is to have them plan to stay with trustworthy relatives or friends along their route.

You can also break down the actual costs and responsibilities of going on a road trip.

Have her map out the entire route and do the math on the entire amount of gas she and her friends will have to pay for. Be sure she knows how to change a tire and check her oil. Those kinds of car maintenance issues are things your daughter and her friends should know before they hit the road.

There are ways to keep your daughter safe without being the parent that puts a damper on her plans. Be upfront with her

Double TAKE DR. WES CRENSHAW AND MIRANDA DAVIS and work to create a compromise that is fair, fun and safe.

Dr. Wes: The fundamental dilemma of parenting is how much to push your child and how much to hold her.

This begins in the front yard when she falls in the grass and begins to cry. Do you jump out of your seat and run to her side, desperately leaping over hedges and assorted yard toys? Or do you walk slowly, calmly reaching down to tell her, “It’s OK, things like this happen. We get by”?

Frequent readers know that we sound the alarm bell in Double Take when we see dangers to teens. But this just isn’t one of those times. Your daughter is 18. She’s off to college in the fall, where she’ll encounter far more potential danger lurking about — most of it self-inflicted — than anything she could find along Route 66.

I’m not sure my folks were too keen on me taking off for Washington, D.C., with my friend an hour after graduation, but they went along with it because that was the next natural step in my journey away from home. Your daughter is old enough to do this. In fact,

she’s also old enough to join the Marines. You can’t follow her to college or into combat, and you can’t trail along on her road trip.

I do agree with Miranda that there should be some agreement on where she and her friends are going, and an understanding that if they get into trouble in Miami or Bangor, you won’t be rushing out to solve all their problems. That’s what being an adult is all about: fixing your mistakes.

While the new young adults should pay for their own trip, offer some financial incentives if they’ll follow the agreement on map, location, checking in, etc. It’s easy to help them pay bills along the way if they’re following the plan. You just phone in the card. This gives you a measure of security and them, freedom.

Finally, make sure the young people know that they will have a hard time getting a decent motel room. Motels have gotten savvy about young adult travelers, and they don’t like the damage they bring, so many will only rent to the over-21 crowd. There are lots of options to get around this, including tent camping if your daughter is the rugged type. And Miranda’s idea of staying with a friend is another cost-saving measure that also provides some connection.

The days of helicoptering are over. Give your daughter the reins, offer some support, incentive and oversight, and be sure she has a good digital camera to capture the memories.

I still like looking back at those old D.C. photos from 1981. I was thinner then.

When drinking beverages that stain, use a straw to help minimize discoloration.

Lastly, brush or rinse as soon as you can after eating or drinking stain-causing foods. ! Practice good oral hygiene. Brush at least two times a day, and floss at least once a day. ! Use a whitening toothpaste. These products contain polishing or chemical agents that help remove surface stains.

Achieving a healthy, white smile is easy to do if you follow these tips. Overall, it is important to watch what you eat and drink, and make sure to keep your teeth and mouth clean. By practicing good oral hygiene you can achieve a smile of which you can be proud.

According to an American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry survey, 99.7 percent of adults feel that a smile is an important social asset. Yet when asked what they’d like to improve most about their smiles, the most common response was to have whiter and brighter teeth.

Teeth-whitening procedures and products have become a rapidly growing business. A separate survey conducted by the AACD in 2011 found that 91 percent of cosmetic dentists said they performed whitening procedures on their patients.

And 32 percent said they expected that number to increase in 2012.

Although getting teeth whitened by a professional may be popular, it can also be expensive. The good news is there are many affordable and convenient alternatives that will help you achieve a bright, white smile. ! Start with a checkup. A professional cleaning and mouth exam is your first step to whiter teeth. Make sure you get any cavities treated and talk to your dentist about which whitening methods you should use. Bleaching isn’t for everyone and your dentist will help determine if you’re a good candidate. ! Watch what you eat. Darker foods and beverages can stain your teeth. Limit your exposure to coffee, tea, red wine, colas, and dark foods like beets and berries.

HEALING VEIN STRAINS

Variety of treatment options available at Lawrence center

ABOUT THE VEIN CENTER Lawrence Vein Center is located in the Fourth Street Health Plaza building, at the northeast corner of Fourth and Maine streets.

BY KARREY BRITT

L

awrence resident Michele Reeves says her legs look and feel 15 years younger after having treatment done at the Lawrence Vein Center.

This summer, she’s even wearing shorts again.

“It’s like it gave me my legs back,” she said. “It’s just amazing.”

Before treatment, Reeves said her legs would itch and swell, especially in warm weather.

“It had gotten to the point where it was uncomfortable for me. I had started to alter my lifestyle, trying to compensate for the discomfort,” she said. “I don’t think I even realized how many changes that I had made in my life to accommodate my leg problem until I went through the procedure and recovery.”

Reeves said she would take frequent breaks to get off her feet and elevate them.

Sometimes, she would use ice on her legs to alleviate the pain.

She decided to get a free vein screening during a health fair at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, and then she scheduled a full evaluation. She decided to have her left leg treated one year ago and her right leg done in March.

Reeves described the treatments as virtually painless. She said Dr. Dale Denning, a general surgeon and medical director of the Lawrence Vein Center, was conversational during the procedures and answered all of her questions. Both of the procedures were done in the center on an outpatient basis. She was able to return

DR. DALE DENNING of the Lawrence Vein Center examines the results of a treatment performed on Lawrence resident Michele Reeves during a follow-up visit on June 15. to normal activities right way. The only requirement was she had to wear a compression stocking.

“I’m back on track,” said Reeves, who is in her early 40s. !"!"!

Denning said he decided to open the Lawrence Vein Center in 2005 after seeing so many patients who had developed ulcers and sores on their legs from venous disease while working at the Wound Healing Center. He knew there were minimally invasive ways of treating them, but none were available in Lawrence.

So Denning, who had been a general surgeon for 20 years, received additional training on treating vein disorders.

He said about 75 million people, or

33 Years in Lawrence Orthopedics

about 25 percent of the American population, has some form of venous disease.

Women are at higher risk of getting varicose veins because of the hormonal changes that occur during pregnancy, pre-menstruation or menopause. Other risk factors include family history, occupations that require standing or sitting for long periods of time, obesity and age.

Denning said he’s provided vein treatment for a variety of ages, from a 14-yearold boy to a 92-year-old woman.

He also does procedures for cosmetic reasons, for example, to remove spider veins, and he treats veins from head to toe.

“I don’t just deal with legs, so if you’ve got veins on your hands, arms, chest, or face that you don’t like, I do that as well,” he said.

The Lawrence Vein Center is unique in that it’s a one-stop shop for vein treatment because Denning is qualified to do everything from surgeries to minimally invasive procedures with just an injection.

“What has really kind of revolutionized vein care is how we diagnose it and the test and studies that we do ahead of time,” he said.

Before, if there was a bulging varicose vein, he would take the patient to the operating room with minimal testing in the office and do a relatively blind procedure called vein stripping, where he would make small incisions and pull the vein out. The procedure would cause a lot of pain and swelling and also interrupt the veins nearby.

“It was a lot more traumatic than what we do now,” he said.

Now, he does a physical examination, takes photos and then maps out where the problem is starting and what’s causing it. Patients also have an ultrasound done, which takes about 45 minutes for one leg.

“Everyone that comes in is a jigsaw

We stand behind our work, and we care!

puzzle, and I have to fit the pieces together,” he said.

He said most insurance plans will cover the procedures unless they are cosmetic.

Denning said he does the procedures in the center and they are done with local anesthesia.

“They can listen to whatever music they want to,” he said. “We try to make it as low key as we can for the patient.”

Denning sees about 18 patients per day and does about 25 procedures per month. !"!"!

Robert Zimmerer, 66, of rural Lawrence, recently had his varicose veins treated by Denning. He said he was reluctant to seek help because his mother had them and he watched her undergo the vein stripping procedure, which required a hospital stay.

“It was a big deal, so I just said, ‘I’m not ready for this,’” he said.

He said the bulging veins bothered his four young grandchildren when he would see them. They would ask him if they hurt and if he was OK. Finally, his wife nudged him into seeking treatment, and he was surprised by how painless it was. He had both legs treated in January on an outpatient basis, and he called the recovery uneventful.

Zimmerer said his legs don’t itch and he can walk and not get tired.

They also look better. He can’t wait to see his grandchildren, who live out of state, this summer.

“I think they will be quite surprised, as will everybody in the family, because this has been obvious for many, many years.”

SYMPTOMS & TREATMENT SYMPTOMS

TREATMENT

Dr. Dale Denning, founder of Lawrence Vein Center, said people may not have symptoms with varicose veins.

Most people identify varicose veins by the appearance of twisted, swollen, bluish veins just beneath the skin.

The goals of varicose vein treatment are to reduce symptoms and prevent complications.

Mild symptoms may include: ! A dull ache, burning, or

heaviness in the legs. These symptoms may be more noticeable late in the day or after you have been sitting or standing for a long time. ! Mild swelling, usually

involving feet and ankles only. ! Itching skin over the vari-

cose vein.

More severe symptoms or complications include: ! A buildup of fluid and

swelling in the leg. ! Significant swelling and calf

pain after sitting or standing for a long time. ! Skin color changes around

the ankles and lower legs. ! Dry, stretched, swollen,

itching, or scaling skin. ! Superficial thrombophlebi-

tis, which is when a blood clot and inflammation develop in a small vein near the surface of the skin. ! Open sores (ulcerations).

! Bleeding and/or bruising

after a minor injury.

Zack Kidnell, musician, Austin, Texas

! Sclerotherapy. A chemi-

cal is injected into a varicose vein to damage and scar the inside lining of the vein, causing the vein to close. This usually works best for small veins.

“No. People need to think about it carefully, especially if they’re young.”

! Laser treatment. Laser

energy is used to scar and destroy varicose veins.

Elisa Farrell, grad student, Austin, Texas

! Radiofrequency, or

closure, treatment.

Radiofrequency energy is used inside a vein to scar and close it off. It can be used to close off a large varicose vein in the leg.

“I would if I was uncomfortable with my body and it really bothered me. But I’m content now.”

! Phlebectomy. Several tiny

cuts are made in the skin through which the varicose vein is removed. ! Ligation and stripping.

Laney Shirley, children’s respiratory therapist, Kansas City, Mo.

Incisions are made over the varicose veins, and the vein is tied off and removed.

TAKING THE LUNGE

I

’ve said it a hundred times, and I’ll say it again: I am a huge fan of workouts and workout moves that require little or no equipment.

As a trainer and fitness instructor, I’ve seen workout fads come and go over the years. We all have.

But if there is one thing that I have learned, it is that the basics are still around for one shining reason. Simply put, they work. And while shaking things up and trying out new workouts is always a good thing, there are some moves that should never leave your little black book.

The lunge is one such classic. You know it and you either love it or hate it. It has many variations but all hold one common truth: The lunge is still around because it delivers results. It can play a key role in helping you to reshape your lower body.

Don’t hate me for saying it, but it’s time to learn to love the lunge. It’s here to stay.

Functional fitness is another hot topic of mine. I firmly believe in balance and living your life in harmony with exercise.

The lunge is a functional fitness move that we replicate in our daily lives. It can

aid in stabilization and balance, and it forces us to work our bodies in different planes of motion.

There are additional advantages to performing lunges properly. When using the correct form, you can really work your entire lower body very effectively, instead

of working and isolating just your quadriceps, which is where many people go awry.

If you feel that a lunge puts too much strain on your knee, it is very likely that you are not performing the exercise properly. Always make certain that your knee

does not extend past the tip of your toes.

Additionally, your body weight should always be on your front heel and not on your toes or the front part of your foot.

Another big bonus of properly executing a lunge is that your hip flexors are more stretched and pliable, which allows

your glutes to receive more effective attention. And that’s a good thing, right?

So get ready to focus on some proper form and execution. You can literally lunge your way to a better body, and bottom. So let’s get moving!

BASIC LUNGE Stand in a split-stance (one leg forward, one leg back).

Bend knees and lower body into a lunge position, keeping the front knee and back knee at 90 degree angles.

Keeping the weight in your heels, push back up (slowly!) to starting position. Never lock your knees at the top, and don’t let your knee extend past your toes.

Variations are front lunges, back lunges and side lunges.

LUNGE WITH MEDICINE BALL TWIST You can perform this with a weight such as a medicine ball or just with your outstretched hands.

Lunge with medicine ball twist (above and at right) Stand up tall with your core drawn in and your shoulders in neutral alignment.

Lunge one foot forward and land with your heel or the back two-thirds of your foot first. Your lunge should be far enough that your knee is directly above your ankle.

From the bottom lunge position, extend your arms with the medicine ball. Keep your core tight and rotate your upper body and the

medicine ball over the front leg as far as you can while you maintain your drawn-in core.

You can perform multiple stationary lunges for each lunge or multiple twists each time you lunge for a more intense workout.

This is a good exercise to use at the beginning, middle and end of your medicine ball workouts.

To be honest, it surprised me that not only are there 18 fashion designers in the Kansas City area, there are 18 very, very talented fashion designers in the Kansas City area.

Look for profiles of the Lawrence designers who were featured in the 12th annual West 18th Street Fashion Show in the Pulse section July 15.

Midwest fashion design A

few weekends ago, I walked into a well-dressed, hat-wearing crowd of Kansas City folk preparing to feast their eyes upon 18 local fashion designers’ Triple Crown-inspired collections.

As the theme suggests, the designers chosen to participate created clothing collections reflecting the different fashions found at horse races.

To be honest, it surprised me that not only are there 18 fashion designers in the Kansas City area, there are 18 very, very talented fashion designers in the Kansas City area. And, in fact, four of them are from Lawrence.

I considered the show to be a bit redemptive after Travel and Leisure magazine recently named Kansas City the 10th worst-dressed city in America.

In Midwest form, the 18 collections largely showcased current widespread, wearable fashion trends (i.e. neons, colorblocking with pastels and neons, asymmetrical skirts, back fabric cutouts), but I found it refreshing that most designers put their own creative spins on the trend to create a look that I had

never seen before.

Also in Midwest form, everyone was really polite. I had the chance to chat with the four designers from Lawrence, and they each were thrilled to talk about their experience in the fashion world of the Lawrence/Kansas City area.

They were also very kind in schooling me on the virtues of the Midwest fashion design world as compared to the coasts.

Margie Hogue, a 30-year-old designer

who just created her first apparel line for Awava, a fair-trade African craft company, said, “There’s so much talent and creativity here, and because it’s so much harder for us to connect to the big fashion headquarters because of our location, people are more creative about how to get themselves out there.”

Jen Hunt offered her opinion on the matter as well. She pointed out, “The Midwest has what the coasts don’t have.

Here, it’s about the person and what’s inside that person more than the actual clothes. Whatever it is that you do, you should be able to do anywhere. I think that things just as interesting and progressive come out of the Midwest as the coasts or the South or another country.

I don’t think we should be limited based on geography.”

As a woman mildly obsessed with the Midwest and Kansas in particular, I’m inclined to agree.

The 18th Street Fashion Show in the Crossroads district of Kansas City demonstrated a small subset of the city’s thirst for fashion, but I think it speaks more clearly about the move the Midwest is making toward more progressive and innovative style.

For anyone wanting to experience some Midwest fashion design, put these upcoming dates on your calendar and make plans to attend: Kansas City Fashion Week (Sept. 5-9) and Omaha Fashion Week (Aug. 20-25).

Van excavation

River City Jules

pparently I had not cleaned out my car since September.

I remember thinking I would pull out the vacuum over Thanksgiving.

And again having the same thought after Christmas.

Then we had that one snow, and I decided to wait until winter was over. Then March Madness rolled around, and I figured all of that dirt, grime and mystery grit must be good luck for the Jayhawks, so I left it there.

(You’re welcome.)

Easter turned into Mother’s Day, and then school was out, and before I knew it, I was signed up for a turn driving a van load of 13-year-old girls to a volleyball camp in Kansas City. And, while our family could certainly travel comfortably in the filth we (they) created, I couldn’t have a gaggle of girls riding in it.

Fearing the potential shame of having to answer such questions as “Why is the cup holder so gooey?” and “Mrs. Dunlap, what do you want me to do with this Ziploc bag full of molded grapes?” I finally pulled out the vacuum and went to work.

First task was to remove the Goodwill donations that had filed for permanent residence in the trunk. And a sleeping bag.

And some lawn chairs. And a few Legos, an empty diary and a potholder.

I made my way to the front of the car, pulling out the floor mats and old homework, “Jurassic Park 2” (received six thumbs down) and one rubber band.

Relieved, I pulled my now very sweaty hair up into a ponytail with the newfound rubber band and plugged in the vacuum.

The trunk was a piece of cake. No slime, no hidden trash, nothing stuck to the carpet. I folded down the back seats, though, and found myself on less of a cleaning spree and more of an archeological dig,

reminiscing about the past nine months as I excavated my way to the front seat.

The handle to someone’s trick-or-treat bag. The Laffy Taffy wrappers. The discarded Whoppers and Tootsie Rolls. And an orange Skittle — no, wait — a Reese’s Pieces that, in my delirium, I may or may not have eaten, along with three Smarties.

A thank-you note my daughter wrote in November.

Red and green ribbons, probably smuggled out of a family Christmas get-together for later use, now held hostage under a pile of dried-out markers.

An entire bag of metallic, heart-shaped confetti, scattered festively under the middle seats.

A dollar, which I pocketed.

A Jolly Rancher, which I did not eat.

A photo from Amelia’s sixth-grade graduation (2011), which I have every good intention of sticking in a photo album (someday).

This wasn’t a car; it was a time capsule.

And in just 90 minutes, I had sucked out every last memento … including three fruit-flavored Mentos.

Now the mobile treasure chest is ready for a road trip to Chicago to visit my brother, just me and my kids. And I can’t wait to see what we bring home.

properly hung door stays shut when you want it shut and open when you want it open. If you have a door that continually defies your wishes, chances are the door is out of alignment.

Multiple unaligned doors in any home may indicate a more serious problem.

For minor alignment issues, tightening the hinge screws or placing shims behind one or more of the door hinges may solve the problem, but the proper way to re-align a door is to replumb the door frame.

Step 1: For doors with removable hinge pins, remove the pins and set the door aside. Otherwise, unscrew the hinges from the door jamb and remove the door from the frame.

Step 2: Use a hammer, nail puller and small chisel to carefully remove the trim pieces surrounding the door frame. Mark the underside of each trim piece with a Sharpie marker or pencil to facilitate reinstallation of trim pieces once the frame has been replumbed.

Step 3: Use a 2-foot level to check the alignment of the top of the door jamb. Insert or remove shims as needed between the jamb top and the header or between

the header and the top plate until the jamb top and header are level. Secure the jamb top and shims into place using 3-inch interior wood screws. Screws should be spaced a maximum of 12 inches apart.

Step 4: Use a 4-foot or longer level to check the alignment of the jack studs (shorter boards that run on either side of the door jamb from the base plate to the door jamb header). Install shims between the jack studs and king studs (studs that run from the base plate to the top plate on either side of the door opening) until each side of the door frame is plumb.

Step 5: Check the frame opening to assure it coincides with the door size. Make necessary adjustments before securing the jack studs and shims into place.

Step 6: Use 3-inch interior wood screws, spaced no more than 12 inches apart, to attach the jack studs and shims to the king studs.

Step 7: Once the door jamb is plumb and secure, re-install the door trim and rehang the door. Use 3.5-inch interior wood screws to secure the jamb side of the hinges to the door jamb for added stability.

hether warranted or not, deep down, people who love animals instinctively believe they can trust a fellow animal lover.

Taking that premise a little further, both women and men have lots of preconceived notions about what their favorite breed of dog says about them to the opposite sex.

Would you use your Dalmatian to get a date with a likeminded person? Do people use their dogs as date bait?

A recent survey about what breeds are attractive to the opposite sex done by Klooff, a mobile application for pet lovers, revealed that if attracting a date is your goal, you can’t go wrong with retrievers, popular breeds for both sexes.

The survey results are based on responses from 1,000 pet owners and nonowners between the ages of 18-33.

According to the survey, the top dog breed to attract men is golden retrievers, followed by Labrador retrievers, Chihuahuas, poodles and beagles.

For women, the top breed of dog to attract them to men is German shepherds, followed by golden retrievers, Labrador retrievers, huskies and French bulldogs.

For complete findings, visit klooff.com and check out the “What’s Hot” section.
