Weather prompts broader ban on fireworks in county

By Alex Garrison acgarrison@ljworld.com

In a special meeting Sunday morning, the Douglas County Commission passed a resolution

prohibiting the use of fireworks on any land but private property and set up a plan to distribute educational fliers to fireworks vendors. The commission also approved overtime

use for the sheriff’s office in an effort to boost enforcement.

The resolution isn’t a burn ban, but it does make it illegal to shoot fireworks at Wells Overlook Park

and Lone Star Lake, the two county-owned public spaces. It also affects public spaces in Lecompton, which doesn’t have its own law enforcement.

The county does not have

jurisdiction over Lawrence, where fireworks are prohibited anyway.

Nor does it affect Eudora or Baldwin City, where fireworks are permitted.

On Sunday, county of-

ficials planned to draw up and distribute a flier on the dangerous dry conditions that will be sent to fireworks vendors. The fliers also will be posted at Please see FIREWORKS, page 2A

The resolution, passed unanimously, only affects this year. The commissioners still may impose a burn ban between now and the Fourth of July, which is Wednesday, if conditions worsen. If they do, fireworks would be banned on even private property.

forward to his new opportunity. Still, he knows many of his classmates don’t share the same enthusiasm he does for the career path.

“You rarely see a TV show about an attorney in a town of 15,000 people,” he said.

The Wall Street Journal this week reported that economic woes are driving more and more lawyers to expand their job searches to communities that are hiring, even though the salaries may not match bigger firms. As of February, the employment rate for students who graduated in 2011 was about 86 percent, the lowest for a class since 1994, the newspaper reported.

“To say that this has not been driven by the economic downturn would be a fantasy,” Thompson said.

In his new position, Thompson said he wanted to offer students help that they typically don’t receive in law school.

The law school now recommends some specific

SANDY PRAEGER

Age: 67. Born Oct. 21, 1944, in Fayetteville, N.C. Hometown: Lawrence.

Education: Bachelor’s degree in education, University of Kansas, 1966.

Political party: Republican.

Political career: Served on Lawrence City Commission, 1985-89 and as mayor, 1986-87; served in the Kansas House in Praeger 1991-92; served in the Kansas Senate, 1993-2002; elected Kansas insurance commissioner, 2002, and re-elected in 2006 and 2010; past president of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners.

Family: She and her husband, Mark, have a grown son and daughter and three grandchildren.

Quote from her: “I feel good about the fact that now our country has public policy that says all our citizens will have access to health care and the means to pay for it. ... What’s the plan, if it’s not this?” — from a news conference after the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the 2010 federal health care overhaul.

Quote about her: “Even if you went back 20 years — 30 years — she would still be standing on the very moderate side, and, of course, the Republican Party has moved far away from her in that time. ... She would have been at home in the Republican Party of New York state or Connecticut in the 1960s, where you really did have liberal Republicans.” — Burdett Loomis, Kansas University political scientist. clerk for conservative Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, shared her skepticism. He said Republicans would have to win the presidency, retain their U.S. House majority and capture a U.S. Senate majority to repeal the law.

“I’d be surprised — frankly shocked — if this got repealed,” he said.

McAllister said that while Romney as president could alter anything left to the executive branch’s discretion, he couldn’t repeal some requirements without action by Congress.

“Waiting and waiting and waiting, and pretty soon 2014 is here,” he said.

“The obligation starts to kick in.” elective courses for students interested in rural or solo careers. A member of the law school’s graduating class of 2006, Thompson reached out to two classmates to come speak to people interested in those careers. About 35 to 40 students usually show up for the sessions, he said. In the coming academic year, the group plans to visit with people in smaller Kansas communities.

“Unless you’re from a rural community, it’s an incredibly foreign concept to wrap your arms around,” Thompson said.

Mark Dodd, now the executive director at the Kansas State Gaming Agency, is one of Thompson’s classmates who has been speaking to KU students. Before his current post, he worked for more than two years as an attorney in Neosho County.

He tells students that rural communities typically offer more help from other members of the bar.

Salaries may start out lower but can match those of students’ urban peers in later years, he said.

“And there’s less and less hiring going on at large firms to begin with,” he said.

Brownback’s stance But Brownback is banking on a Romney victory leading to relief from the federal law’s requirements, and he said last week that he’d expect Romney to issue a blanket waiver from the law for states upon taking office.

Furthermore, Brownback appears to lose little politically in Kansas by postponing decisions and casting the presidential race as a referendum on the health care overhaul.

Republican lawmakers won’t object, particularly after the party made big gains by framing the 2010 elections in that context.

That year, the GOP tapped the frustrations of the tea party movement and swept all statewide and congressional offices for the first time since 1964. It also added to its already sizeable legislative majorities.

Many of the new lawmakers were strong conservatives receptive to any state effort to thwart the federal law.

“The vast majority are against it,” said Clay Barker, the state GOP’s executive director. “There’s a whole spectrum from, ‘It’s communism,’ all the way to, ‘It’s bad public policy with a few good provisions.’”

‘A lonely place’ The Kansas GOP has moved far to the right since Praeger, a 67-yearold moderate began her political career almost three decades ago with a stint on the Lawrence City Commission. Yet the same electorate that left state government significantly more conservative in 2010 also gave Praeger a third term as insurance commissioner.

“If you get elected, you have a legitimacy to go off on your own,” said Burdett Loomis, a KU political scientist who spent a year working for Democratic Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, now Obama’s health and human services secretary.

Last week, Praeger called the Supreme Court’s ruling upholding the health care law “a first step in creating a health care system that works for all of our citizens.” She’s clearly no longer part of the GOP mainstream, and she’s well aware of it.

“Yeah, it’s a lonely place to be,” she said.

BRIEFLY Police investigate fatal motorcycle crashes KANSAS CITY, KAN. — Police are investigating two fatal motorcycle crashes that occurred about an hour apart in Kansas City, Kan. The first crash happened around 11 p.m.

Saturday when a pickup truck rear-ended a motorcycle. Police said in a news release that responding officers found the man who was driving the motorcycle dead from his injuries. The driver of the truck wasn’t injured.

The second crash happened just after midnight Sunday, and the motorcycle was the only vehicle involved. Police said the male driver was dead, and a female passenger sustained nonlife-threatening injuries.

The names of the victims weren’t immediately released.

Kansas man dies in accident on Ark. lake EUREKA SPRINGS, ARK. — Authorities are investigating a watercraft accident that killed a Fort Scott, Kan., man in Beaver Lake in Carroll County.

Cpl. Matt Guthrie with the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission told the Northwest Arkansas Times that 33-year-old Corey Larson died in the accident in the Hogscald Hollow area about 6 p.m. Friday.

Guthrie says Larson and a friend were riding personal watercraft when Larson stopped abruptly in front of his friend. He says the friend didn’t see Larson stop and his watercraft struck Larson from behind.

The Carroll County coroner pronounced Larson dead at the scene.

In recent years, Corpus Christi Catholic School has played a game of classroom Tetris.

Students have kept coming — enrollment is up 40 percent from 2007 — and administrators have kept shifting students and employees to best use the school’s limited space.

But now, to put it simply, the school has run out of room.

“Early on, we were given a gift of lots of space, and little by little the space has gotten filled up by kiddos,” the Rev. Mick Mulvany said.

Soon the SCHOOLS school and its 328 students, grades preschool through eighth, will have some relief.

This relief comes via a $5 million capital campaign to build four classrooms, administrative offices, a cafeteria, a music room and a multimedia technology center. The two-story addition will cost $3.4 million, raise enrollment capacity to 420 students and add 18,000 square feet to the 69,000-square-foot Corpus

The monthly sales report from the Lawrence Board of Realtors found home sales were up 25 percent in May 2012 compared with the same

time period a year ago.

Realtors sold 136 homes in the month, up from 108 during May 2011. All told, the 25 percent increase marks one of the better months of the year for the Lawrence real estate market.

The increase also marks the second month in a row that sales totals have been on the upswing. April sales posted a modest 3 percent increase over April 2011 totals. But I think real estate agents also are excited about what the numbers may show in the near future. Accord-

Low water levels in Kansas rivers partly due to drought “

HUTCHINSON (AP) — Water levels on some Kansas rivers are approaching record lows amid a drought and heat wave.

The Hutchinson News reported that water in the Arkansas River is stagnant from limited flow.

U.S. Geological Survey officials said this will be the river’s lowest June flow in 53 years of record keeping. On Friday, the flow was down to about 27 cubic feet per second, far below the typical flow of 475 cubic feet per second.

“It’s sad to think of what it used to be,” said Paul Long, recalling that his childhood days in the 1930s included noodling for catfish in the Arkansas River that swelled by his family’s Rice County farm.

And the Arkansas River isn’t alone. Several other rivers were flowing at their weakest since the USGS started collecting data.

The primary reason is the severe drought that has gripped the region for the past two years, coupled with increased human consumption from irrigators and others who have drawn down river levels over several decades, said Brian Loving, a hydrologist with the USGS’s Lawrence office.

Moreover, without rainfall, farmers rely on irrigation even more to sustain their crops, which further draws down river and aquifer levels.

Rattlesnake Creek, which flows into Quivira National Wildlife Refuge, was at 1.2 cubic feet per second Friday, compared to the median flow of 28 cubic feet per second. The month ended Sunday, and Loving said it would be the lowest June flow ever in 38 years of data collection.

Cow Creek at Lyons was

It has never been this low before in June. Normally it has 25 times more water.

But it is slowly drying up.”

— Brian Loving, hydrologist with the U.S. Geological Survey’s Lawrence office, on measurements at Cow Creek at Lyons

measuring .95 cubic feet per second Friday — well below the normal 26 cubic feet per second for this time of year.

“It has never been this low before in June,” Loving said. “Normally it has 25 times more water. But it is slowly drying up.”

In response, state officials already are curtailing junior irrigation rights in some areas.

Reservoirs also are hurting. The U.S. Interior Department’s Bureau of Reclamation says Cedar Bluff is only 43 percent full.

While Cheney is just three feet below normal conservation pool, Loving said levels continue to drop drastically. The reservoir lost about 6 million gallons of water in the past week due to evaporation and has dropped more than a foot in just one month.

Meanwhile, Loving said the North Fork of the Ninnescah River also is running lower than average — low enough that the creek temperature Tuesday measured 103 degrees.

“I didn’t think that was right,” Loving said, noting he called and asked employees to check on the gauge. “But they said they calibrated the instrument on Monday, and then it was reading in the high 90s.

Under JC Penney’s new retail model, the large store essentially will have mini-stores inside it. Work is under way to add interior walls to create a mall-like appearance for Penney’s major brands.

The first mini-stores to debut in Lawrence will feature the Levi’s brand for men and women and the JC Penney Arizona brand of clothing. Ingebretson said he expects construction work to be completed by Aug. 1. The rest of the store remains open during construction.

Once that work is done, expect more remodeling.

Ingebretson said specialty stores for the Liz Claiborne and Izod brands likely will be next in line.

The mean selling price is $176,892, down 2.6 percent from year-ago totals — The median days on market for a home checks in at 72 days, which is up from 61 days during the same period a year ago.

ON THE RECORD

LJWORLD.COM/BLOTTER

LAW ENFORCEMENT REPORT

• Lawrence police arrested a 28-year-old Lawrence man for theft and obstruction of legal process and a 23-year-old Lawrence man for battery and obstruction of legal process after an altercation at Fuzzy’s Taco’s, 1115 Mass., at 2 a.m.

Saturday.

Lawrence police Sgt. Anthony Brixius said officers responded to a call from restaurant employees that a man inside the restaurant had shoved patrons and stolen food. The officers were in the process of apprehending the suspect when another man came up and attempted to wrestle the police officers to free him. An altercation ensued with two police officers sustaining minor injuries. Officers subdued both men and arrested the second man for battery and obstruction of legal process.

The Journal-World generally does not name suspects unless they are formally charged.

• Police used a Taser on one man and took another into custody after responding to multiple fights outside of Shots Bar, 1008 Mass St., at 2 a.m. Sunday.

Lawrence police Sgt. Anthony Brixius said officers responded to a disturbance call outside of the bar. When they arrived, the original disturbance had ended, but another fight began. Brixius said an officer used a Taser to subdue one individual.

Shannon Sprowls, a Kansas University student, said she witnessed the event, which happened as the bar closed.

“There were issues between one of the waitresses and one of the other girls, and they started screaming at each other, and guys got involved then it erupted from there,” she said.

Sprowls said a number of men began to fight, and a bouncer was hit in the face as he attempted to break them up. Afterward, police officers arrived and another fight began. According to Sprowls, police took a man and a woman into custody.

Brixius said that the two in custody would likely be charged with disorderly conduct and possibly battery.

Kansas farm guys’ video becomes Internet sensation

ASSARIA (AP) — The truth is Greg Peterson can’t stand LMFAO’s song and video “Sexy and I Know It.” It was playing on a Manhattan radio station one night in late May when he and some friends had gathered at a local Sonic to unwind as his junior year at Kansas State University came to an end.

A:

The 36-hole city golf championships will be July 7-8 at Alvamar Golf Course and Alvamar Country Club.

Entry forms are available at Alvamar, Lawrence Country Club and Eagle Bend, and should be sent to LAGA, P.O. Box 1111, Lawrence, Kansas 66044. Entry fee is $125, and checks should be made payable to Lawrence Amateur Golf Assn.

Senior division participants must be 50 years old, and super senior players must be 60 on or before July 7.

“

... The dream was we’d all farm together with Dad. Who knows what is going to happen now that we are famous.”

— Greg Peterson, of Assaria, who with his brothers made a video, “I’m Farming and I Grow It,” that went viral on YouTube “I have a hard time understanding all this electronic stuff,” says Eunice Peterson, the brothers’ 88-year-old grandmother.

“But it is all very exciting.

I am thrilled for the guys.”

The Petersons posted the video last Monday.

Within 24 hours, it went viral on YouTube and Facebook, garnering nearly 400,000 views as of Wednesday evening.

“When I step up to the bunk, yeah, this is what I see: All the hungry cattle are staring at me. I got passion for my plants and I ain’t afraid to show it. Show it. Show it. I’m farming and I grow it. I’m farming and I grow it.”

“My brothers thought it was funny,” Greg Peterson said. “We all like rapping.”

True to the farm experience, the Peterson brothers worked 15-hour days cutting wheat and feeding

the cattle in the midst of shooting the video.

“We started halfway through wheat harvest, and I got them up at 6 a.m.; they were so mad at me and thought I was so stupid,” Greg Peterson said of the sunrise scenes in the video, the ones with crickets and a single meadowlark singing somewhere in the distance.

“I told them to just trust me. ... The reason it is so silly is we were so tired.”

They’ve posted other family videos, but this is the first to go viral.

On Tuesday, Greg Peterson’s phone and computer lit up. He received hundreds of texts, tweets and Facebook postings from people wanting to find out more about the Peterson brothers.

They’ve been invited to the national FFA convention later this year in Kentucky.

“It’s definitely been a dream,” he said.

It’s also been the dream for all three brothers to work together farming.

“When we were little kids, we’d all play with our toy tractors,” Greg Peterson said. “We’d farm together with our tractors on the carpet. The dream was we’d all farm together with Dad. “Who knows what is going to happen now that we are famous.”

ENRIQUE PENA NIETO, presidential candidate for the Revolutionary Institutional Party, or PRI, shows his inkstained thumbs after he cast his vote during general elections in Atlacomulco, Mexico, on Sunday. Mexico PRI presidential candidate Pena Nieto led with about 40 percent of the vote, according to three major exit polls.

Mexican old guard claims win in election

By E. Eduardo Castillo and Katherine Corcoran Associated Press

MEXICO CITY — Mexico’s old guard prepared to step back into power after a 12-year hiatus as the president of the longruling party said late Sunday that all exit polls “irreversibly” favored its presidential candidate, Enrique Pena Nieto.

Three major exit polls showed Pena Nieto of the Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, with about 40 percent of the vote in the presidential election. nearly 10 points ahead of his nearest challenger. Two were exit polls and the third a “quick count” based on the actual vote.

Conservative National Action Party candidate Josefina Vazquez Mota conceded almost immediately after the polls closed, as did New Alliance candidate Gabriel Quadri, who had only single digits. That left Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador as the single holdout as the Federal Elections Institute prepared to release an official representative quick count at 11:45 p.m. local time.

PRI president Joaquin Coldwell said the party would await the official count before it declared victory.

At the PRI headquarters in Mexico City, a party atmosphere was building as sound technicians, waiters and an army of reporters waited in a large white tent in the party complex patio.

A norteno band broke out playing with Vazquez Mota’s concession. Pena Nieto had yet to arrive.

The party also appeared likely to retake at least a plurality in the two houses of Congress and some governorships.

Critics say the party’s 71-year rule was characterized by authoritarian and corrupt practices.

But the PRI has sought to portray itself as a group that has been modernized and does not seek to a return to the old way, and held a strong lead throughout the campaign.

“Enrique Pena Nieto appears to be accomplishing what many thought would never happen again: the return of a strong and dynamic PRI,” said Eric Olson of the Washington-based Mexico Institute. “The question: How will they govern?”

JACKSON, MISS. — A federal judge on Sunday temporarily blocked enforcement of a Mississippi law that could shut down the only abortion clinic in the state.

U.S. District Judge Daniel P. Jordan in Jackson issued a temporary restraining order the day the new law took effect.

He set a July 11 hearing to determine whether to block the law for a longer time.

“Though the debate over abortion continues, there exists legal precedent the court must follow,” Jordan wrote.

The law requires anyone performing abortions at the state’s only clinic to be an OB-GYN with privileges to admit patients to a local hospital. Such privileges can be difficult to obtain, and the clinic contends the mandate is designed to put it out of business. A clinic spokeswoman, Betty Thompson, has said the two physicians who do abortions there are OB-GYNs who travel from other states.

The clinic, Jackson Women’s Health Organization, filed a lawsuit seeking to block the law.

The suit says the admitting privileges requirement is not medically necessary and is designed to put the clinic out of business.

If Jackson Women’s Health Organization closes, Mississippi would be the only state without an abortion clinic.

When Republican Gov.

Though the debate over abortion continues, there exists legal precedent the court must follow.”

— U.S. District Judge Daniel P. Jordan in a temporary restraining order issued the day the new law took effect Phil Bryant signed the law, House Bill 1390, he said he wants Mississippi to be “abortion-free.”

“Governor Bryant believes HB 1390 is an important step in strengthening abortion regulations and protecting the health and safety of women,” Bryant spokesman Mick Bullock said in a statement Sunday night. “The federal judge’s decision is disappointing, and Governor Bryant plans to work with state leaders to ensure this legislation properly takes effect as soon as possible.”

In the order, Jordan wrote: “Plaintiffs have offered evidence — including quotes from significant legislative and executive officers — that the Act’s purpose is to eliminate abortions in Mississippi.

They likewise submitted evidence that no safety or health concerns motivated its passage. This evidence has not yet been rebutted.”

Jordan also wrote that Jackson Women’s Health Organization is “the only regular provider of abortions in Mississippi, and as of the Act’s effective date, JWHO cannot comply with its requirements.”

3 Scouts, leader die in Wyoming crash

By Thomas Peipert Associated Press

Authorities have released the names of three Boy Scouts and their Scout leader who were killed in a head-on collision while driving back to Colorado from a camp in Wyoming.

Five people died when a vehicle returning to Colorado from a Boy Scout camp in Wyoming slammed into a motor home, authorities said Sunday.

Among the victims were three Scouts and their adult troop leader, all from Woodland Park, Colo., a town ravaged in recent weeks by wildfires, the Colorado Springs Gazette reported. A 3-yearold passenger in the motor home also died, the Wyoming Highway Patrol said.

The Woodland Park School District says 16-year-old Paul Kekich, 17-year-old Nick Naples,

and 17-year-old Alex Ragan died in Saturday’s crash, according to the newspaper. The boys were students at Woodland Park High School.

Their leader, Richard Kleiner, also died.

Four others were injured in the crash on Highway 120 near Thermopolis in north-central Wyoming. Their conditions were not immediately known.

The Boy Scouts were traveling in a Honda Element, which was one of three vehicles taking a group of Scouts back to the Colorado Springs area.

The two other vehicles transporting the Scouts were not involved in the crash.

The newspaper also reported Sunday that the local Boy Scouts council released a statement saying “yesterday was an extremely difficult day for the entire Scouting family.”

SISTERS NINA FOSTER, 17, LEFT, AND ELIZA FOSTER, 19, return to the remains of their family’s home on Courtney Drive in the Mountain Shadows subdivision in Colorado Springs, Colo., for the first time since they were evacuated, on Sunday. Their home was one of more than 350 homes burned in the Waldo Canyon Fire.

‘Unreal’: Residents tour Colorado blaze devastation

By Mead Gruver Associated Press

COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. — Melted bowling balls in the front yard were among the strange sights that met C.J. Moore upon her return Sunday to her two-story home, now reduced to ashes by the worst wildfire in Colorado history.

“You wouldn’t think bowling balls would melt,” she told The Associated Press by phone from the scene in her Mountain Shadows neighborhood, where she was among residents who were allowed temporary visits to areas most affected by the fire.

More than a week after it sparked on June 23, the Waldo Canyon fire was still being attacked by some 1,500 personnel.

But crews working grueling shifts through the hot weekend made progress against the 26-square-mile fire, and authorities said they were confident they finally had built good fire lines in many areas to stop the spread of the flames.

So far, the blaze, now 45 percent contained, has damaged or destroyed nearly 350 homes.

It was just one of several still burning in the West, where parched conditions and searing heat contributed to the woes facing crews on hundreds of square miles across Utah, Montana, Wyoming and Idaho.

In Colorado Springs, a line of cars a mile long queued up at a middle school checkpoint, where police checked the identification of returning residents and handed them water bottles.

While searching for her great-grandmother’s castiron skillets, Moore marveled at the juxtaposition of what burned and what hadn’t. The bowling balls had been garden decorations.

Surprise: Stocks having a strong year

By Bernard Condon

“

People think we’re down because memo— For all ries are short.”

Associated Press

NEW YORK the scary headlines — a bailout of Spanish banks, JPMorgan’s huge trading loss, the sputtering job market, Facebook’s failed initial public offering — it’s a wonder stocks aren’t down more this year.

Actually, stocks aren’t down. That was a trick sentence. At the halfway mark for 2012, stocks are up more than 8 percent.

“People think we’re down because memories are short,” says Rex Macey, chief investment officer at Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors. “It feels like the market’s been worse than it actually has.”

The year began with investors focusing on corporate America’s record profits and scooping up stocks. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index

— Rex Macey, chief investment officer at Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors surged 12 percent from January through March.

It looked like that gain might be wiped out in the second quarter. Investors worried about Europe’s inability to find a lasting solution to its debt crisis and about slower job growth in the United States.

Then came Friday: European leaders announced a broad strategy to funnel money into failing banks and keep borrowing costs down for governments, and stocks soared around the world.

It all left the S&P 500 up a healthy 8.3 percent for the year.

What happens next will probably depend on corporate earnings again. For April through June, they are expected to fall 0.7 percent from a year ago, according to S&P Capital IQ, a research firm. That would be the first drop in nearly three years.

So far, though, stocks in the U.S. are trouncing those in many countries. European markets are nearly all down this year, and several are down more than 10 percent. And many big emerging markets are struggling. China is down 1 percent, Russia 7 percent and Brazil 14 percent.

The backdrop is a darkening economic picture.

China’s economy is slowing, consumer confidence in the U.S. has sunk for four straight months, and a report next Friday is expected to show a fourth straight month of weak job growth.

just unreal. Unreal,” she said. “Bird baths are fine.

Some of the foliage is fine.”

Three neighbors’ homes were unscathed.

Only concrete remained of other homes, including hers. Cars were burned to nothing but charred metal.

“Good Lord! I’ve never seen anything like this.

And thank God there was nobody there. Thank God there were no people here. There would have been no been no hope,” Moore said.

Not far away, Bill Simmons and his wife, Debbie Byes, returned to their trilevel, passive-solar stucco home and found no damage — just some ashes in the driveway.

“The water and electric’s back on. You know, we’re good to go. We’re feeling pretty happy about it at the moment,” Simmons said by phone.

“We’re feeling pretty sad

for our neighbors and pretty lucky for ourselves.

It’s been a real sobering experience.”

Authorities said they would lift more evacuation orders Sunday night, bringing the total number of people who remain blocked from their homes down to 3,000 from more than 30,000 at the peak of the fire.

Rich Harvey, incident commander for Waldo Canyon, said crews continue to make good progress.

“We’re cautiously optimistic,” he said Sunday morning. “We still remain focused on things that could go wrong.”

Authorities are still trying to determine the cause of the fire, which so far has cost $8.8 million to battle.

Dangerous conditions had kept them from beginning their inquiry, but investigators were able to start their work on Saturday.

Mid-Atlantic power outages could last days

By Ben Nuckols Associated Press

FRANCONIA, VA. — A day after seeking refuge at shopping malls and movie theaters, hoping the lights would be back on when they returned, 3 million residents faced a grim reality Sunday: stifling homes, spoiled food and a looming commute filled with knocked-out stoplights.

Two days after storms tore across the eastern U.S., power outages were forcing people to get creative to stay cool in dangerously hot weather.

Temperatures were forecast to top 100 degrees in many storm-stricken areas, and utility officials said the power will likely be out for several more days.

“If we don’t get power tonight, we’ll have to throw everything away,” Susan Fritz, a mother of three, said grimly of her refrigerator and freezer.

Fritz came to a library in Bethesda, Md., so her son could do schoolwork. She charged her phone and iPad at her local gym.

The storm was blamed for 14 deaths, most from trees falling on homes and cars. Meanwhile, Coast Guard officials say they have suspended the search for a man who went missing early Saturday while boating during the storm off Maryland.

The bulk of the damage was in West Virginia, Washington and the capital’s Virginia and Maryland suburbs. At least six of the dead were killed in Virginia, including a 90-year-old woman asleep in her bed when a tree slammed into her home.

Two young cousins in New Jersey were killed when a tree fell on their tent while camping. Two were killed in Maryland, one in Ohio, one in Kentucky and one in Washington.

Iran feels pinch of new European Union oil sanctions

A UTILITY WORKER CLEARS a downed tree in Springfield, Va., on Sunday.

Power crews from as far away as Florida and Oklahoma were on their way to help 3 million residents in the mid-Atlantic region restore their power.

AT LEFT, residents of Alexandria, Va., pick up free ice at a Harris Teeter grocery store Sunday. Temperatures were forecast to top 100 degrees in many storm-stricken areas, and utility officials predict the power will be out for several more days.

From Atlanta to Richmond, temperatures were expected to reach triple digits. With no air conditioning, officials urged residents to check on their elderly relatives and neighbors. It was tough to find a free pump at gas stations that did have power, and lines of cars snaked around fast-food drive-thrus.

States worked to make sure the power stayed on at water treatment plants so that people at least had clean water. Chain saws buzzed throughout neighborhoods as utility crews scrambled to untangle downed trees and power lines. Neighbors banded together.

The Friday evening storms, a meteorological phenomenon known as a derecho, moved quickly across the region with little warning. The straightline winds were just as destructive as any hurricane — but when a tropical system strikes, officials usually have several days to get extra personnel in place. Not so this time.

“Unlike a polite hurricane that gives you three days of warning, this storm gave us all the impact of a hurricane without any of the warning,” Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

Power crews from as far away as Florida and Oklahoma were on their way to the mid-Atlantic region to help get the power back on and the air conditioners running again. Even if people have generators, the gas-run devices often don’t have enough power to operate an air conditioner.

And power restoration was spotty: Several people interviewed by The Associated Press said they remained without power even though the lights were on at neighbors’ homes across the street. In Maryland, Gov. O’Malley promised that he would push utility companies to get electricity restored as quickly as possible.

TEHRAN, IRAN — As new European Union sanctions targeting Iran’s vital oil industry took effect Sunday, Tehran acknowledged the measures aimed at reining in its disputed nuclear program were taking a toll.

The vice president said authorities had stockpiled imported goods and hard currency to help cushion the blow to the economy.

The ban by the 27-member EU on the purchase of Iranian oil dealt the Islamic Republic its second economic setback in days, following fresh U.S. sanctions that prohibit the world’s banks from completing oil transactions with Iranian banks. Combined, the measures significantly ratchet up the pressure on an Iranian economy already squeezed by previous rounds of sanctions.

“Today, we are facing the heaviest of sanctions, and we ask people to help officials in this battle,” Vice President Mohammad Reza Rahimi was quoted as saying on state television’s website.

He said the “dastardly sanctions” might cause “occasional confusion” in the domestic market. Iran reacted furiously when the U.S. and EU sanctions were announced, threatening to block the strategic Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway used to ship about one-fifth of the world’s oil. On Sunday, Iranian officials appeared to be backing away from that threat, which roiled international oil markets at the time.

Rahimi also said Tehran has stocked up on some imported goods to reduce the embargo’s im-

The EU, which accounted for around 18 percent of Iran’s oil exports, said earlier this week that all contracts for importing Iranian oil will have to be terminated from Sunday.

pact, without saying what specifically.

The EU, which accounted for around 18 percent of Iran’s oil exports, said earlier this week that all contracts for importing Iranian oil will have to be terminated from Sunday.

Also, European companies will no longer be involved in insuring Iranian oil.

In Washington, White House spokesman Jay Carney welcomed the EU oil embargo. He said in a statement that the U.S. and EU “are committed to holding Iran accountable for failing to meet its international obligations,” showing “the seriousness with which the international community views the challenge of Iran’s nuclear ambitions.”

Carney said Iran has a “clear choice between isolation and meeting its obligations.” He said Iran must take “concrete steps” to resolve international concerns over its nuclear program.

Iran is the second largest OPEC oil producer, producing about 4 million barrels of oil a day. The country’s recoverable oil reserves are estimated at more than 137 billion barrels, or 12 percent of the world’s overall reserves. The country relies on oil exports for about 80 percent of its public revenues. However, most of Iran’s crude production is used domestically.

Midweek July 4th causes muddle for travelers

By Scott Mayerowitz

“

It’s irritating because everybody NEW YORK — Who knew wants those three, the calendar could cause so much vacation heart- four-day holiday weekends.” burn?

Associated Press

For the first time in five years, Independence Day falls on a Wednesday, leaving travelers unsure when to celebrate and worrying those who make a living off tourists.

“The midweek holiday seems to have travelers confused,” said Anthony Del Gaudio, vice president of hotel sales for Loews Hotels, which isn’t seeing the normal July Fourth spike in bookings.

Those who sell vacations say this year’s calendar gives Americans more options: Tack on Saturday through Tuesday or Thursday through Sunday to the holiday, or just take the entire week off.

— Tom Donohue, who runs an HIV awareness program based in Charlottesville, Va. But consumers’ confidence has been waning.

Now, some aren’t happy about having to burn an extra vacation day or two to get that long weekend.

From 2008 through 2011, the work holiday fell on either Friday or Monday, so employees and their families got an automatic three-day weekend, similar to Memorial Day and Labor Day. “It’s irritating because everybody wants those three, four-day holiday

weekends,” said Tom Donohue, who runs an HIV awareness program based in Charlottesville, Va. In recent years, he’s traveled to see family in Pennsylvania, including his father whose birthday is July 2. There’s swimming and boating on the Susquehanna River and — of course — fireworks.

Not this year. Donohue plans to stay local, savings those days off “for an actual vacation,” a Caribbean cruise in October.

Others are determined to have their summer holiday no matter what.

Alicia Hutton, her husband and their two daughters are flying from Boston to Baltimore to see family. The parents had to take two extra days off from their jobs to make the Wednesday-Saturday trip work.

“It’s not ideal because

normally we would tack on one day to a long weekend,” Hutton said.

AAA, one of the nation’s largest travel agencies, projects 42.3 million Americans will journey 50 miles or more from home between July 3 and July 8. That’s roughly the same amount that traveled in 2007, the last time July Fourth fell on a Wednesday. Last year, when the holiday fell on a Monday, 40.3 million people traveled. But before you think it’s a big increase, note that AAA’s economists changed how they estimated the number of travelers: They used a six-day period this year compared to five last year.

“In general, we think that travel from last year is pretty flat,” said Shane Norton, a director at IHS Global Insight, which provides economic forecasting and research for AAA.

BRIEFLY

Soldier who shot commander dies

FORT BRAGG, N.C. — Military officials say a soldier who shot and killed his superior officer at Fort Bragg and then turned the gun on himself is also dead.

The Army said in a news release Sunday that 27-year-old Spc. Ricky G. Elder of Hutchinson, Kan., died Friday.

The statement from Fort Bragg said Elder was recently charged with larceny of a toolkit valued at $1,700 and had been awaiting court martial.

Lt. Col. Roy Tisdale of Alvin, Texas, was fatally wounded Thursday during a safety briefing. A third soldier, 22-year-old Spc. Michael E. Latham of Vacaville, Calif., also was wounded and has been released from the hospital.

Elder enlisted in the Army in 2004. He deployed to Iraq from October 2006 to November 2007 and to Afghanistan from September 2010 to July 2011.

Rebels continue destruction in Mali BAMAKO, MALI — Islamist rebels said Sunday they will continue to destroy historic sites in Mali’s northern city of Timbuktu before they implement strict Shariah law, as Mali’s government compared the destruction to “war crimes” and said they would seek international justice.

Ansar Dine spokesman Sanda Abu Mohamed said Sunday that Islamists will continue the destruction they started Saturday.

“We’re going to destroy everything before we apply Shariah in this city,” he said.

Resident Moussa Maiga said the Islamists have expressed disapproval of what they think is worship of the tombs of the Muslim saints.

Mali’s government condemned the destruction, which they say is akin to “war crimes.”

HEALTH CARE LAW

More nuanced view of Roberts after vote

By Mark Sherman Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Chief Justice John Roberts could have taken down the entire massive health care law that his fellow Republicans deride as “Obamacare.” He could have prevented the Supreme Court decision that largely disabled the most disputed aspects of Arizona’s crackdown on illegal immigrants.

He didn’t do either and in the process surprised (or dismayed) longtime court observers of every political stripe.

Those two outcomes in the final days of his seventh year on the court offer some clues for reassessing what kind of chief justice Roberts is and intends to be. Is he no longer the rock-ribbed conservative loved by supporters

Pablo Martinez Monsivais/AP File Photo

CHIEF JUSTICE JOHN ROBERTS, seen in this Oct. 8, 2010, photo, announced the judgment that allows the health care law to go forward with its aim of covering more than 30 million uninsured Americans, breaking with the court’s other conservative justices. and jeered by opponents?

Has he become a pragmatic leader mindful of the court’s place in history?

Is he more canny but still solidly conservative?

The measure of a justice is best taken after decades of service, rather than a few years. At age 57, Roberts could lead the court for another quartercentury.

But at the very least, the end of the Roberts Court’s most consequential term already is leading to revised, and in some cases more nuanced, appraisals of his leadership.

Erwin Chemerinsky, a liberal scholar who is dean of the law school at the University of California at Irvine, announced that the era of the Roberts Court had begun. “He authored the opinion in the most important case in his seven years on the court, and did so against what was expected,” Chemerinsky said.

In truth, Roberts’ vote to uphold President Barack Obama’s health care law was not so much a surprise.

He long had been counted among the possible votes to uphold the law.

But it was widely assumed that if Roberts ultimately voted for it, so too would Anthony Kennedy, most often the decisive vote in closely fought cases. It was only the second time in his tenure that Roberts provided the deciding vote for the side favored by the court’s liberals.

Up until now, it had been the Kennedy Court, Chemerinsky said, “This year, it was the Roberts Court.”

Had Roberts gone the other way, the court would have wiped away the entire health care overhaul, which is the outcome embraced by dissenting

Justices Samuel Alito, Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas and Kennedy.

Instead, he said the individual insurance requirement at the heart of the law could be upheld as a tax. At the same time, he rejected administration arguments that the mandate was justified by the Constitution’s clause giving Congress power over interstate commerce, which has been the authority for most federal programs since the New Deal.

Some legal scholars suggest Roberts produced an essentially conservative opinion with a liberal outcome.

In addition, Roberts’ ruling has helped refocus the public debate over the law and gave Republican opponents ammunition for calling it a big tax increase they would try to repeal.

GOP leaders: Voters will have final say on law

By Anne Flaherty Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Republican congressional leaders said Sunday that voters — not the Supreme Court — will have the final word on President Barack Obama’s health care law come November. And they are betting that the law’s unpopularity will be enough to drive Democrats from power.

The White House’s response? Bring it on.

“We’ve got one last chance here to beat Obamacare, and we can do that in the November election,” said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, calling the law the “single worst piece of legislation” passed in modern times.

White House chief of staff Jack Lew countered that he believes most Americans want to put the

health care debate to rest.

“I actually think the American people want us to focus on the economy, on creating jobs and moving forward,” Lew said.

Republicans and Democrats have been wrangling for the upper hand in the health care debate since last week’s Supreme Court ruling upholding the law’s mandate that individuals buy health insurance or face a penalty. Chief Justice John Roberts, a conservative, provided the pivotal vote in that decision by ruling that the penalty was legal under the government’s taxing authority.

While technically handing a political victory to Obama, Roberts’ ruling invigorated Republicans eager to cast the law as a new tax.

“The American people do not want to go down this

path,” said House Majority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio. “They do not want the government telling them what kind of insurance policy they have to buy, and how much they have to pay for it, and if you don’t like it we’re going to tax you.”

Democrats refute the characterization of the law. Lew said the mandate would affect only 1 percent of Americans: those who can afford health insurance but refuse to buy it.

“This is a penalty on free riders,” said Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. Yet public opposition to the health care law remains high. Forty-seven percent of respondents in a recent Associated PressGfK poll said they oppose the law while 33 percent said they support it.

However, much of the polling does find strong

No one-size-fits-all approach to Latino vote

By Jeri Clausing Associated Press

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — In New Mexico, Tomasita Maestas says she will pick the presidential candidate who has the best plan to fix education and the economy.

In Arizona, Mexican immigrant Carlos Gomez backs Republican Mitt Romney because he’s more conservative on social issues than his Democratic opponent.

In Miami, Colombia native Luna Lopez probably will vote for President Barack Obama now that he’s decided to halt the deportation of many illegal immigrants brought to the United States as children.

support for individual elements, like allowing young adults to remain on their parents’ plan to age 26. Some Democrats see that as an opening to reframe the debate.

RepubMcConnell licans say they believe last week’s ruling by the high court gives them fresh ammunition to attack Boehner Obama — and the Democrats who support him — in the upcoming election because of the health care bill’s connection to jobs. The GOP says the law puts

onerous mandates on industry that could stifle job creation.

“I think it’s intertwined with the economy, and I think it’s an example where Washington doesn’t get it,” said Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., of the health care bill.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said Sunday that Republicans, including Mitt Romney, are “being the mouthpiece of the health care industry” and that the bill will actually improve the economy.

“The costs were unsustainable,” she said of the current health care system.

“It’s a competitiveness issue for business and for our economy. So we had to (come) to a place where we lowered costs to all concerned, and that we again take it down a path where we continue to lower costs.”

Syrian opposition groups reject new plan BEIRUT (AP) — Syria’s main opposition groups rejected on Sunday a new international plan that calls for a transitional government because the compromise agreement did not bar President Bashar Assad from participating.

Their reaction held out little hope for an end to more than 15 months of carnage on a day when the main opposition group said 800 people were killed in violence in the past week alone.

Opposition activists groups say more than 14,000 people have been killed since the uprising against President Bashar Assad’s authoritarian rule began in March 2011, or on average about 900 a month. That would make last week’s toll alone almost as high as the monthly average as government forces furiously pounded rebellious towns and cities with helicopters, tanks and artillery.

World powers at a conference in Geneva on Saturday accepted a U.N.brokered plan calling for creation of a transitional

national unity government with full executive powers in Syria. But at Russia’s insistence, the compromise agreement left the door open to Assad being part of the interim administration.

It could also include members of Assad’s government and the opposition and other groups. The transitional government would oversee the drafting of a new constitution and elections.

However Syria’s fragmented opposition has long opposed any solution that involved negotiating with Assad or allowing him to cling to power.

Bassma Kodmani, a Paris-based spokeswoman for the main opposition group, the Syrian National Council, said the agreement is “ambiguous” and lacks a mechanism or timetable for implementation. She said there were some positive elements in the plan, which implies that all members of the Security Council were in agreement that the transition period must not be led

by Assad. But she said this needs to be more explicit.

The big picture Putting together a five-year plan for capital projects will help both city officials and taxpayers make better spending decisions.

W

hen Lawrence city officials announced an estimate of $30 million to build a new police headquarters facility, the number likely shocked a few members of the public.

That’s understandable. After all, roughly 18 months earlier, the community had spent considerable time discussing the city’s finances as part of an $18 million bond issue to expand the Lawrence Public Library. Throughout that campaign, there was never any mention of how an $18 million library expansion would make it more difficult for the city to complete a $30 million police headquarters.

It would be unfair to say city leaders tried to hide the $30 million police facility from voters. The need for a new police headquarters building has been discussed off and on for several years at Lawrence City Hall. But the $30 million price tag did not come out until well after the library bond was approved, and city leaders did a poor job of connecting the dots for voters about how one project could affect the other.

In fact, it is safe to say the need for a new police headquarters likely was not on the minds of most voters when they cast their votes on the library expansion project.

That’s partly because the city doesn’t do a very good job of communicating its big-ticket needs to the public. For several years now, the city has not compiled a five-year capital improvements plan.

The plan simply is a list of major building projects and other capital improvements the city expects to undertake during the next five years.

In fairness, the city does have several smaller plans that provide details for specific areas of the city budget, such as a 10year plan for projects funded by the city’s infrastructure sales tax, and a multiyear plan for water and sewer projects.

But one list that encompasses the entire city would be helpful to both elected officials and voters. The city auditor, in a report late last year, formally recommended that the city create a five-year capital improvements plan. City Manager David Corliss’ office is working on that now, and the plan likely will be presented to commissioners in August.

Hopefully the plan will be a simple way for both elected officials and residents to see at a glance the city’s most pressing building and capital improvement needs and rough cost estimates for each.

The city of Lawrence is fortunate to have talented leadership in City Hall that has managed the city’s finances well during these tough economic times. The city’s financial condition is much better than many cities across the state and nation.

However, the city is entering a period where it will consider several high-dollar projects — a regional recreation complex, the police headquarters and a $54 million sewage treatment plant, to name just three.

It could be an extremely exciting time for our community, but it will require us to make the best decisions possible about how to spend our limited resources.

Better long-range planning will help us all to understand our choices and will be a key step in making this upcoming period of the city’s history exciting rather than draining.

Ruling not all bad for conservatives WASHINGTON — Conservatives won a substantial victory on Thursday. The physics of American politics — actions provoking reactions — continues to move the crucial debate, about the nature of the American regime, toward conservatism. Chief Justice John Roberts has served this cause.

The health care legislation’s expansion of the federal government’s purview has improved our civic health by rekindling interest in what this expansion threatens — the Framers’ design for limited government. Conservatives distraught about the survival of the individual mandate are missing the considerable consolation prize they won when the Supreme Court rejected a constitutional rationale for the mandate — Congress’ rationale — that was pregnant with rampant statism.

The case challenged the court to fashion a judicially administrable principle that limits Congress’ power to act on the mere pretense of regulating interstate commerce. At least Roberts got the court to embrace emphatic language rejecting the Commerce Clause rationale for penalizing the inactivity of not buying insurance: “The power to regulate commerce presupposes the existence of commercial activity to be regulated. ... The individual mandate, however, does not regulate existing commercial activity. It instead compels individuals to become active in commerce by purchasing a product, on the ground that their failure to do so affects interstate commerce. Construing the Commerce Clause to

George Will

georgewill@washpost.com

“

The court held that the mandate is constitutional only because Congress could have identified its enforcement penalty as a tax.” permit Congress to regulate individuals precisely because they are doing nothing would open a new and potentially vast domain to congressional authority. ... Allowing Congress to justify federal regulation by pointing to the effect of inaction on commerce would bring countless decisions an individual could potentially make within the scope of federal regulation, and — under the government’s theory — empower Congress to make those decisions for him.”

If the mandate had been upheld under the Commerce Clause, the court would have decisively construed this clause so permissively as to give Congress an essentially unlimited police power — the power to mandate, proscribe and regulate behavior for whatever Congress deems a public benefit. Instead, the court rejected the Obama administration’s Commerce Clause doctrine. The court remains clearly committed to

this previous holding: “Under our written Constitution ... the limitation of congressional authority is not solely a matter of legislative grace.”

The court held that the mandate is constitutional only because Congress could have identified its enforcement penalty as a tax. The court thereby guaranteed that the argument ignited by the mandate will continue as the principal fault line in our polity.

The mandate’s opponents favor a federal government as James Madison fashioned it, one limited by the constitutional enumeration of its powers. The mandate’s supporters favor government as Woodrow Wilson construed it, with limits as elastic as liberalism’s agenda, and powers acquiring derivative constitutionality by being necessary to, or efficient for, implementing government’s ambitions.

By persuading the court to reject a Commerce Clause rationale for a president’s signature act, the conservative legal insurgency against Obamacare has won a huge victory for the long haul. This victory will help revive a venerable tradition of America’s political culture, that of viewing congressional actions with a skeptical constitutional squint, searching for congruence with the Constitution’s architecture of enumerated powers. By rejecting the Commerce Clause rationale, Thursday’s decision reaffirmed the Constitution’s foundational premise: Enumerated powers are necessarily limited because, as Chief Justice John Marshall said, “the enumeration presupposes something not enumerated.”

When Nancy Pelosi, asked where the Constitution authorized the mandate, exclaimed “Are you serious? Are you serious?” she was utterly ingenuous. People steeped in Congress’ culture of unbridled power find it incomprehensible that the Framers fashioned the Constitution as a bridle. Now, Thursday’s episode in the continuing debate about the mandate will reverberate to conservatism’s advantage. By sharpening many Americans’ constitutional consciousness, the debate has resuscitated the salutary practice of asking what was, until the mid-1960s, the threshold question regarding legislation. It concerned what James Q. Wilson called the “legitimacy barrier”: Is it proper for the federal government to do this? Conservatives can rekindle the public’s interest in this barrier by building upon the victory Roberts gave them in positioning the court for stricter scrutiny of congressional actions under the Commerce Clause.

Any democracy, even one with a written and revered constitution, ultimately rests on public opinion, which is shiftable sand. Conservatives understand the patience requisite for the politics of democracy — the politics of persuasion. Elections matter most; only they can end Obamacare.

But in Roberts’ decision, conservatives can see the court has been persuaded to think more as they do about the constitutional language that has most enabled the promiscuous expansion of government.

Israel sees choice as ‘bombing or bomb’ JERUSALEM — A popular new slogan making the rounds among government ministers here is that in dealing with Iran, Israel faces a decision between “bombing or the bomb.” In other words, if Israel doesn’t attack, Iran will eventually obtain nuclear weapons.

This stark choice sums up the mood among top officials of the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: It’s clear that Israel’s military option is still very much on the table, despite the success of economic sanctions in forcing Iran into negotiations.

“It’s not a bluff, they’re serious about it,” says Efraim Halevy, a former head of the Mossad, Israel’s intelligence service.

A half-dozen other experts and officials made the same point in interviews last week: The world shouldn’t relax and assume that a showdown with Iran has been postponed until next year. Here, the alarm light is still flashing red.

Israeli leaders have been warning the Obama administration that the heat isn’t off for 2012. When a senior Israeli politician visited Washington recently and was advised that the mood was calmer than in the spring, the Israeli cautioned that the Netanyahu government hadn’t changed its position “one iota.”

The negotiations with Iran by the group of leading nations known as the “P5+1,” rather than

David Ignatius

“

Netanyahu sees his country’s very existence at stake, and he’s prepared for Israel to go it alone because he’s unwilling to entrust the survival of the Jewish state to others.” easing Israel’s anxieties, may actually have deepened them.

That’s not just because Netanyahu thinks the Iranians are stalling. He fears that even if negotiators won their demand that Iran stop enriching uranium to 20 percent, and export its stockpile of fuel already enriched to that level, this would still leave more than 6,000 kilograms of low-enriched uranium that, within a year or less, could be augmented to bomb-grade material.

Netanyahu wants to turn back the Iranian nuclear clock, by shipping out all the enriched uranium. And if negotiations can’t achieve this, he may be ready to try by military means.

The numbers game on enrichment reveals a deeper difference: For President Obama, the trigger for military action would be a “breakout” decision by Iran’s supreme leader to go for a bomb, something he hasn’t yet done. For Netanyahu, the red line is preventing Iran from ever reaching “threshold” capability where it could contemplate a breakout. He isn’t comfortable with letting Tehran have the enrichment capability that could be used to make a bomb, even under a nominally peaceful program.

Netanyahu sees his country’s very existence at stake, and he’s prepared for Israel to go it alone because he’s unwilling to entrust the survival of the Jewish state to others. But some Israeli experts, including several key supporters of his government, don’t like this “existential” rhetoric warning of another Holocaust, arguing that it nullifies Israel’s defense capabilities and deterrence.

Though most members of Netanyahu’s government would probably support him, there are some subtle nuances of opinion. U.S. officials say Defense Minister Ehud Barak’s focus is stopping Iran before it enters a “zone of immunity” when it begins full operation of centrifuges buried under a mountain near Qom. Iran probably will enter this zone sometime later this year.

As Israeli officials have put it, the deadline for action “is not a matter of weeks, but it’s not a matter of years, either.”

American officials think Barak may also be more willing than Netanyahu to accept a deal in which Iran retains some modest enrichment capability — and can save face by saying it hasn’t compromised its rights as a signatory of the non-proliferation treaty — but can’t accumulate enough material to make a bomb.

While I understand Netanyahu’s concerns, I think an Israeli attack could be counterproductive. It would shatter the international coalition against Iran, collapse the sanctions program when it is starting to bite, and trigger consequences that cannot be predicted, especially during a time of sweeping change in the Middle East.

Before he rolls the dice, Netanyahu should recall the shattering experience of Menachem Begin, a prime minister no less devoted to Israel, who was haunted in his final days in office by the sense that his invasion of Lebanon in 1982, intended to protect Israel’s security, had been a mistake. The potential costs and benefits of an attack on Iran are unknowable, but for better or worse, it would be, as Halevy says, “an event that would affect the course of this century.”

Withey relishes camp, block

SUMMER SERIES PART 3

Peerless leaders Karl Schlademan

Marian Washington

Ross Randall

By Jesse Newell jnewell@ljworld.com

Jeff Withey starts his story with the good news: During two-on-two drills a week and a half ago, he blocked sixtime NBA All-Star Amar’e Stoudemire on a shot attempt.

So what happened after that?

“He went back and then he hit a jumper on me,” Withey said with a laugh. “But, yeah, I got him once.”

Withey, Kansas University’s senior center, learned quite a bit from trying to defend the New York Knicks’ star during Stoudemire’s Skills Academy in Chicago, which ran Withey June 21-23.

“I was amazed how quick he is,” Withey said. “He’s not that much bigger than everybody else. He’s just extremely fast.

I think that’s the difference between the NBA and college is just quickness.”

Withey’s biggest takeaway from the weekend was realizing which skills he needs to develop the most.

For the first two days, the big men primarily went through NBA-type workouts, which included focus on their face-up games in the post.

“Everything is so much further away from the basket than you’re used to,” Withey said. “(It’s) definitely getting that mind-set of, if you do catch it out, attack the rim as soon as possible.”

Making it even harder to concentrate was the setting.

Each day during the pair of two-hour sessions, at least 20 NBA scouts were in attendance to get a look at some of next year’s top pro prospects.

“It’s definitely nervewracking, because they’re just down there writing stuff down. You want to know what they’re writing down,” Withey said. “It was a good experience for sure. It was definitely a good way to show your talent.”

Quite a few players were trying to do the same thing during the Saturday scrimmage, which made it more difficult for Withey to stand out.

“Whenever somebody has the ball, they want to shoot.

You just have to get offensive rebounds if you want to score,” Withey said. “I felt like I did pretty well. Definitely good defensively. Offensively, I hit open jumpers.

I did what I could.”

Staff picks for favorite KU coaches J-W Staff Reports

There are plenty of reasons for those playing sports to have a favorite coach.

But when you’re covering them, it’s a whole different ballgame. In our business, favorite coaches aren’t necessarily the ones who do the most for you or push you beyond your limits.

Instead, they’re the ones who seem genuinely to enjoy the interactions they have.

They’re the ones who make us laugh, tell the best stories and give the best answers. They’re the ones who are honest, even during the tough times, and the ones you root for even though you’re not supposed to be rooting at all.

That’s the topic of our third

installment of a summer series designed to give you a deeper look at the KU players and coaches we’ve covered throughout the years. Instead of an imaginary meal or a fantasy game of H-O-R-S-E, we’re giving you something real this week. We’ve all been around KU for a varying degree of years, and it’s interesting to see some of the overlap on the lists of our four favorite coaches.

Here goes:

Matt Tait Barry Hinson — One of the nicest people I’ve ever met and an underrated basketball coach. He’ll do a great job at Southern Illinois, and I’ll definitely be rooting for him.

Ritch Price — Whether he actually is or just hides it well,

KU’s baseball coach has been in a great mood every time I’ve been around him. I’ve got nothing but respect for how passionate he is about the game and how professional he is about us.

Bill Self — When I was still covering high schools for the Journal-World, coach Self and I were walking into Allen Fieldhouse at the same time one day, and I held the door for him. Naturally, he thanked me but he did so by using my name. At that point, we had never met. The guy is a machine and one of the best college basketball coaches of alltime.

Roy Williams — A heck of a coach and the father of one of my high school buddies. I’ll never forget the nights coach

Williams threw batting practice for our home-run-derby marathons during the summer.

Andrew Hartsock Karl Schlademan — Bill Self has a pretty decent record as KU men’s basketball coach, but Karl “The Trivia Question” Schlademan’s is better.

He never lost a game as head KU men’s basketball coach.

Glen Mason — Mark Mangino won more games, but I’m not sure Mase didn’t do more with less. Plus, once you got past Mason’s gruff exterior, you learned there was an even gruffer interior.

Huff repeats at Tour; Walberg women’s winner Chris Duderstadt cduderstadt@ljworld.com

IN A GROUP SPRINT TO THE FINISH LINE, BRAD HUFF edges out the competition to win the Men’s Pro/1/2 division of the Free State Brewery Downtown Criterium, the final event of the Tour of Lawrence, on Sunday in downtown Lawrence.

Brad Huff and Catherine Walberg closed out the fourth annual Tour of Lawrence with victories in the men’s and women’s Pro/1/2 races Sunday in downtown Lawrence.

Huff entered the men’s race as the defending champion, but Sunday’s victory did not come easily.

Huff gradually made his way back into the race after a group of 10 riders broke away from the rest of the field.

“No one wanted to chase,

CATHERINE WALBERG, TOPEKA, won the Women’s Pro/1/2 race so I attacked a couple of times ... kind of what I call stirring the pot,” Huff said. “And then 17-year-old Nick (Torraca),

he attacked ... stirred the pot.

Then Harley-Davidson Gateway, they went to the front with two guys, and I went up and helped them in the last little bit, and we were able to pull it back together. It created another race.”

Despite putting himself into position to make a final move to win the race, that move almost did not happen as Huff narrowly avoided a crash on the back side of the course with three laps to go.

“I was just in front of it luckily enough,” Huff said.

With one lap remaining, Brian Jensen, Dylan Jones and Stefan Rothe had a five-

second lead, but Huff and the rest of the field quickly closed the gap.

Huff outlasted Brian Duvall and Steve Tilford in the final straight-away to repeat as champion.

Tilford, a Topeka native and Kansas University alumnus, enjoyed every aspect of the weekend.

“As soon as they started, you know, (event coordinator) Bob Sanner and these guys were putting this race on (Massachusetts) Street, I mean this is my favorite venue,” Tilford said. “I mean, Please see TOUR, page 3B

Young Slovak wins first stage of Tour SERAING, BELGIUM (AP) — Peter Sagan blushed, giggled and eventually brushed off comparisons to Lance Armstrong on Sunday after becoming the youngest rider to win a Tour de France stage since the Texan nearly a generation ago.

The 22-year-old Slovak gave a command performance in his debut in a full Tour stage by outsprinting Swiss rider Fabian

Cancellara, who mounted a spirited and successful defense of his yellow jersey over a hilly ride in eastern Belgium in Stage 1.

The standings among the top contenders to win the three-week Sagan race didn’t change

much after the 123-mile loop from Liege to suburban Seraing featuring five low-grade climbs. Bradley Wiggins of Britain and defending champion Cadel Evans trailed close behind in a splintered pack.

Overall, Wiggins is second behind Cancellara, seven seconds back, and Evans is another 10 seconds slower in eighth.

Sagan, the promising Slovak, becomes the youngest rider to

capture a Tour stage since Armstrong won his first of his 22 career Tour stage victories at age 21 — in Stage 8 in 1993. The youngest of all time is Italy’s Fabio Battesini, who was 19 when he won one in the 1931 Tour.

Sagan landed another spot in the history books: No other Tour debutant has won the first Tour road stage since Fabio Baldato of Italy 17 years ago.

By Tim Dahlberg AP Sports Columnist

David Beckham will be missing and so, likely, will Oscar Pistorius, whose remarkable run on his magical blades came up agonizingly short. They were always going to be sideshows in London anyway, in an Olympics that hardly needs a supporting cast.

When London snatched the Olympics out of the hands of Paris a few years back, the British were pretty confident they would score well. But even organizing chief Sebastian Coe couldn’t have imagined the spectacle that will play out over 17 days in London.

The Queen will be on hand, of course. So will Paul McCartney, leading some 80,000 people in a sing along to open the games this month.

The former Beatle will top an opening act that, in contrast to the sterile proceedings in Beijing, features sheep, horses and chickens, among other things. There’s even a cloud that produces rain, as if London needs any more of that.

Then the real stars take the stage for what could be an Olympics unlike any other.

We’ve gotten a taste of it over the past few weeks as Michael Phelps dueled with Ryan Lochte in the pool, Usain Bolt for a moment found himself the second-best runner in his own country, and American gymnasts showed off the kind of depth that could potentially lead to a bunch of medals.

But there’s more, much more.

Always is in an Olympics, even if some of the sports are so arcane they are barely understandable.

Swimming is one we do understand, and this could be the swim meet of the century.

Phelps might not win eight golds again with Lochte challenging him at almost every turn, but he will win enough to add to his 14 gold medals and stamp himself as perhaps the greatest Olympian ever.

Lochte will win his share of gold, too, but the breakout star in the pool could be 17-year-old Missy Franklin, who already has the best nickname in the sport. Missy the Missile has big hands, size 13 feet, and the kind of sprinter’s speed that should make her a multiple medalist.

Just when everyone gets out of the water and takes a deep breath, track begins, and Bolt takes center stage. But the World’s Fastest Man was beaten by countryman Yohan Blake in the 100 meters in Jamaica’s Olympic trials and also could be challenged by Justin Gatlin and Tyson Gay in a 100 that brings back hints of the 1988 final in Seoul with Carl Lewis and the soon-to-be-disgraced Ben Johnson.

In between the biggest names in tennis will duel on the grass at Wimbledon, and a U.S. basketball team headed by LeBron and Kobe will preen its way to another gold.

Yes, Beijing was grand and majestic. Everything was new and clean, even if sometimes it seemed the spectators weren’t sure what they were watching.

But it can’t match the flavor of these games.

SPAIN GOALKEEPER IKER CASILLAS LIFTS THE TROPHY after the Euro 2012 soccer championship final between Spain and Italy on Sunday in Kiev, Ukraine. Spain won the match, 4-0.

Spain routs Italy, 4-0, for Euro championship KIEV, UKRAINE — The defense was impenetrable. The offense was unstoppable. Simply put, it was another Spanish party on the international stage.

Spain won its third straight major soccer title Sunday, routing Italy 4-0 in the European Championship final and making it look all too easy. “We were superior to Italy,� said midfielder Xavi Hernandez, perhaps Spain’s most influential player over the last four years. “We played a complete game and perhaps the best of the entire European Championship. We made history.�

David Silva and Jordi Alba scored first-half goals, and substitutes Fernando Torres and Juan Mata added two more in the final minutes as the Spanish passing game worked its magic against the Italians at the Olympic Stadium.

Silva headed in a high shot in the 14th minute off a pass from Cesc Fabregas. And Alba added another in the 41st, picking up a beautiful through ball from Xavi and shooting past Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon. “The game was ours after the first goal, but the truth is that we played one heck of a game,�

Fabregas said.

Torres, who came on for Fabregas in the 75th minute, added the third goal with an easy finish and Mata really put the game away in the 88th, knocking in a pass from Torres. “They were a great rival, but we took control of the game as time went by,� Spain coach Vicente del Bosque said.

Spain won the Euro 2008 title four years ago in Vienna and followed that with the World Cup title in Johannesburg two years ago.

TV

Andrews lands at Fox NEW YORK — Erin Andrews will host Fox’s new college football pregame show.

Two days after ESPN said the broadcaster was leaving after eight years, Fox officially announced her hiring Sunday. Andrews also will contribute to the network’s NFL and Major League Baseball coverage among other sports.

The main Fox network will start its first regular-season college football package this fall. The 30-minute pregame show will premiere Sept. 1.

Woods wins, passes Nicklaus BETHESDA, MD. — Congressional reopened its gates Sunday to thousands of spectators who got what they expected in the AT&T National — another win by Tiger Woods.

Only this win didn’t follow a typical script.

Caught in a tense duel with Bo Van Pelt on another sweltering day, it looked as though Woods blinked first until Van Pelt matched him with mistakes of his own. Woods closed with a 2-under 69 and won by two shots when Van Pelt finished with his third straight bogey and had to settle for a 71.

Woods won for the third time this year, the most of anyone on the PGA Tour, and it was the 74th win of his career. That Woods moved him past Jack Nicklaus into second place on the tour list, eight short of Sam Snead.

Woods, who finished at 8-under 276, moved to the top of the PGA Tour money list and the FedEx Cup standings for the first time since September 2009.

He effectively clinched the win with a 9-iron down the hill toward the peninsula green on the 18th, a shot so pure that Woods started walking and twirled the club moments after he made contact.

Daley gets first Champions title PITTSBURGH — Joe Daley won the Senior Players Championship on Sunday for his first Champions Tour title, closing with a 2-under 68 for a two-stroke victory over Tom Lehman.

The 51-year-old Daley, winless in his brief PGA Tour career, had a 14-under 266 total at Fox Chapel. He earned $405,000 and full Champions Tour status for a calendar year.

Lehman finished with a 69. He was trying to win his second straight Champions Tour major after taking the Regions Traditions in his previous start.

Olin Browne was third at 11 under after a 65. Mark Calcavecchia, tied with Daley for the third-round lead, had a 72 to match 2011 winner Fred Couples at 10 under. Couples finished with a 71.

Donaldson wins by 4 PORTRUSH, NORTHERN IRELAND — Jamie Donaldson of Wales won his first European Tour title by shooting a 6-under 66 to clinch a four-stroke victory at the Irish Open on Sunday.

Beginning the fourth round with a one-shot lead, Donaldson birdied five of his last seven holes to shoot a fourth straight round in the 60s to total 18-under 270 and end an 11-year trophy drought that covered 255 tournaments. “It feels a bit surreal, to be honest,� said Donaldson, who topped a strong field that included home favorites Rory McIlroy, Graeme McDowell and Padraig Harrington.

Ai Miyazato rallies at LPGA ROGERS, ARK. — Ai Miyazato shot a 6-under 65 on Sunday to overcome a five-shot deficit and win the NW Arkansas Championship for her second LPGA Tour victory of the year.

The Japanese star made a 5-foot birdie putt on No. 18 to reach 12 under for the tournament, and her ninth career LPGA Tour victory was secured when Mika Miyazato missed a 15-foot birdie attempt on No. 18. Ai Miyazato had seven birdies and one bogey in the final round to finish a stroke ahead of Mika Miyazato and Azahara Munoz.

KANSAS FOOTBALL

Texas prep CB picks KU

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Kansas University’s football program picked up an oral commitment from another highly regarded Texas cornerback over the weekend.

DeSoto (Texas) High senior-to-be Taylor Lewis pledged his services to the Jayhawks on Friday, a little more than three weeks after KU landed Dallas cornerback Collin Spencer.

After attending KU’s Friday Night Lights camp a couple of weeks ago, Lewis, 6-foot, 180 pounds, left town with a scholarship offer. After mulling it over with his father and talking more with

KU coaches Rob Ianello, Dave Campo and Charlie Weis, Lewis decided to commit.

“I really liked the environment and being around the coaches,” Lewis told Jon Kirby, of JayhawkSlant.com. “Coach Ianello did a good job and was straight to the point.

I liked how he handled the recruiting. I enjoyed the time I spent around coach Campo. We talked a lot about how he coaches the defensive backs. I also talked with coach Weis and he made me feel right at home. I knew I wanted to be a part of the program, so I committed.”

Lewis did not turn many heads during his junior

Goodman, a defensive end from West Brook High in Beaumont, Texas, recently suffered a broken right hand.

Goodman, who was listed as a second-string defensive end on KU’s prespring depth chart, posted to his Twitter account this weekend a photo of his hand in a soft cast and revealed that X-rays confirmed his hand was broken. It is not yet known how long Goodman will have to wear the cast or how much offseason activity he will miss.

Despite the injury, the 6-3, 248-pound D-end is expected to compete for Goodman injured playing time on the JayRed-shirt freshman Ben hawks’ D-line this fall.

season at DeSoto High because he played behind starting cornerbacks who signed with LSU and Texas. With those guys now gone, Lewis is looking forward to a breakout season this fall.

Lewis becomes the sixth member of the Class of 2013 to orally commit to Kansas. He joins Spencer, St. Louis linebacker Kellen Ash and Sunflower State prospects Ben Johnson (tight end, BasehorLinwood), Montell Cozart (quarterback, Bishop Miege) and Jordan Darling (quarterback, Shawnee Mission East).

Last year at the Stoudemire Skills Academy scrimmage, former Kansas forward Thomas Robinson received a lot of attention after putting down a one-handed, alleyoop dunk off a feed from Scoop Jardine.

Tom Keegan Ross Randall — His use of dry, cutting humor gets golf teaching points across superbly.

Walberg, Flanigan, Leah Kleager and Sheri Rothe separated themselves from the other six competitors in the field, but Walberg knew she would have to be strategic in order to defeat the other three in the lead pack.

“This is such a professionally run race, and I love winning in my home state,” Walberg said.

“Everybody was just like, ‘Ooh. Aah.’ It was pretty cool.”

Withey helped as a high-school counselor at the event with 13 other college big men, including Duke’s Ryan Kelly and Mason Plumlee, Creighton’s Doug McDermott and Ohio State’s DeShaun Thomas.

Before he battled him in drills, Stoudemire approached Withey, telling him that he’d played well in the NCAA championship game before wishing

him luck for the upcoming season.

“You don’t realize ... everybody watches those games,” Withey said. “It’s definitely cool to hear something like that from somebody that you look up to.”

Withey will be picking up more NBA instruction soon, as Sunday he accepted an invitation to the upcoming LeBron James Skills Academy in Las Vegas.

The camp, which runs Friday through Monday, features skill-development work and competition for the top 20 college basketball players in the country.

KANSAS CITY STARTING PITCHER BRUCE CHEN GETS READY FOR A WET TOWEL to cool his face between the fifth and sixth innings. The Twins rallied for a 10-8 victory on a brutally hot Sunday in Minneapolis.

Minnesota rallies past Royals, 10-8 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Bruce Chen and the Kansas City Royals were in control early on against the Minnesota Twins on Sunday.

But the Royals quickly found out just how quickly things can change in their 10-8 loss at Minnesota.

When Chen (7-7) took the mound for the bottom of the sixth, the Royals led 5-1, and there were no signs of trouble.

By the time Kansas City got out of the inning, Minnesota got homers from Trevor Plouffe and Josh Willingham, scored five runs and took the lead for good.

“It’s just one of those days,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “When we score the runs, the four-run inning to take the lead, I was thinking, ‘We’re in great shape now, Bruce is rolling and we’ve got a pretty stocked (bullpen).’ It sure didn’t turn out that way.

“The homers killed us, the homers buried us.”

Chen, who had won seven of his past nine decisions, allowed only one run (a solo homer from Plouffe) and two hits through the first five innings as the Royals jumped to a 5-1 lead.

Even after giving up a leadoff triple to Brian Dozier and a sacrifice bunt that scored the run, Chen didn’t seem to be in trouble.

Frankamp helps U.S. rip Egypt J-W Staff Reports

KAUNAS, LITHUANIA — Future Kansas University guard Conner Frankamp scored 18 points as the United States clobbered Egypt, 111-73, in the Men’s Under 17 world championships.

The U.S. improved to 3-0 at the tournament, while Egypt fell to 0-3.

Jabari Parker, a senior forward from Chicago’s Simeon High School, who has KU on his list of prospective schools also had 18.

“I was kind of getting

in the flow of the game,” said Frankamp, a point guard from Wichita North who hit eight of 13 shots, including two of four threes, in 21 minutes.

“I felt like I wasn’t getting bad shots, so I’m going to take them when I can.”

Frankamp also had four rebounds and two steals against one turnover.

“We came out with a lot more intensity in the second half,” said Frankamp. The U.S. led 50-37 at the break. “The first half we were really slow and we didn’t really care as much.”

But then he walked Jamey Carroll and gave up a single to Joe Mauer. Instead of being able to get a double play to get out of the inning, Chen hung a changeup to Willingham, who pounded the ball out of the park. Two batters later, Plouffe hit his second homer of the game and the Twins led 6-5.

“I feel bad,” Chen said.

“We had a good lead and I felt I let the game get away from me. I felt I had all of my pitches going and shouldn’t have given up six runs. Especially since we were ahead 5-1.”

ALL-STAR GAME

Rangers, Yankees, Giants get 3 starters NEW YORK (AP) — Josh Hamilton is set to lead a Texas parade to the AllStar game. Now, fans will decide if Chipper Jones gets one final appearance or whether it’s time for teen sensation Bryce Harper.

Hamilton drew a record total of more than 11 million votes, and the slugger was among seven Rangers chosen Sunday as AllStars. A trio of San Francisco Giants rallied in the last week to claim spots while three Yankees also made the starting lineup.

“I don’t think the Texas Rangers have to apologize because we’ve got good players,” AL manager Ron Washington of Texas said.

“I certainly didn’t pick my guys being selfish, I picked them very deserving of being All-Stars, bottom line.”

Washington fastballer Stephen Strasburg and Mets knuckleballer R.A. Dickey were two of the 66 players chosen by fans, managers and big leaguers for the showcase July 10 in Kansas City. So was 20-year-old Angels rookie outfielder Mike Trout, who leads the AL in hitting at .339 and drew more than 800,000 write-in votes.

Few of the races for starting spots were close and there seemed to be little complaining about the fans’ choices. OK, sure, David Wright could’ve gotten the nod over Pablo Sandoval.

But there certainly will be campaigning this week when it comes to Jones and Harper after they were left off — for now, anyway.

The NL and AL each have one spot left, with fans voting online through Thursday to select one of five candidates in both leagues. Jones and Harper are two of the NL possibilities.

At 40, Jones is a seventime All-Star and plans to retire after this season.

TEXAS’ JOSH HAMILTON STEPS OUT OF THE BATTER’S BOX DURING the Rangers’ game Saturday against the Athletics in Arlington, Texas. Sunday, Hamilton was named an All-Star starter. third baseman has managed to hit near .300.

“This being my last year, it would be fun to go.

I’d love to take my kids,” Jones said.

At 19, Harper started the season in Triple-A. The Washington outfielder has dazzled since his promotion with his bat, arm and flat-out hustle.

“I’m an old-timer, so I’d probably lean toward Chipper,” NL manager Tony La Russa said on the TBS selection show.

The league that wins the All-Star game gains home-field advantage in the World Series. The NL won last year, then St. Louis became the ninth straight home team to win Game 7 in the Series.

Sandoval was picked for the NL at third base despite missing a month with a broken hand and

not matching the stats of Wright.

“I’m surprised I made it,” said Sandoval, popular for his “Kung Fu Panda” persona. “He’s been having a great year but the fans gave me the votes. I can’t thank them enough.”

Wright was diplomatic about the result.

“That’s the way the system is. I understand how the system works and I respect that system. Pablo’s having a very good year. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t disappointed that I don’t get a chance to start, but I’m going to do everything I can to help win that game,” he said.

Giants catcher Buster Posey, back from a devastating injury last season, was the NL’s top votegetter and beat out Philadelphia’s Carlos Ruiz, the league’s leading hitter.

Dear Annie: My husband, “George,” seems to feel the need to constantly grope me. I mean from the time I get up in the morning until he leaves for his overnight shift, he’s trying to grab my breasts or squeeze my bottom. He does this whether we’re at a movie theater, the museum or the zoo. If he’s not trying to grope me, he’s talking about sex.

He does it in public, too, and even in front of my in-laws. It’s his favorite, actually his only, topic of conversation.

During the time we dated and for the first three years of our marriage, George and I had normal conversations about sports, politics, movies and books, but now it’s only sex, sex and more sex. Frankly, I can’t take much more of this. I’ve tried talking to him nicely about the constant groping, I’ve gotten angry, I’ve tried

diplomacy, and I’ve redirected his hands. I’ve told him bluntly how alarming it is when he talks about sex during a concert. But it goes in one ear and out the other. When I try to steer the conversation into other areas, he always brings it back to sex. For medical reasons, my sex drive isn’t what it used to be. I try to accommodate George, and we are intimate even when I’m not feeling well. George is 52 and in fairly good health. He isn’t on any medications, nor has

‘Four Houses’ a reality hoot ‘‘Why hasn’t somebody done this before?” That’s the question that the best, or at least the most entertaining, reality shows provoke. And I’d put “Four Houses” (9 p.m., TLC) in those categories. ‘‘Four Houses” invites homeowners to do what we all like to do: go inside other people’s houses and judge them as tacky, sterile or otherwise lacking, secure in our pride that our homes (and, by extension, our lives) are superior.

Every episode features four homeowners with a self-professed flair for design who visit and evaluate each others’ places. The home that gets the highest ratings for decor, originality and livability wins $10,000 for its owner.

The debut of “Houses” features four New Jersey homeowners from very different backgrounds.

T h e r e ’ s a preppy Princeton princess with a vast Colonial worth more than $2 million. She thinks she’s “quirky,” but the others think she’s designed her home to look like any number of unrelated catalogs. There’s a real estate broker and apparent bachelor dude with a house overlooking Manhattan. He has a million-dollar view, but his home remains a blank canvas. A woman of Eastern European heritage has designed her chalet-style home with a startling austerity that some find original and that others find vaguely witchy.

Then there’s an artist who has cobbled together a personal vision straight out of a whimsical Tim Burton horror movie, complete with taxidermy, dead things in vats and bottles, and homoerotic self-portraits that leave little to the imagination. Despite their widely divergent tastes and lifestyles, the four homeowners in this episode treat one another with polite respect that occasionally verges on affection.

If “Four Houses” has a fault, it’s that it places so much emphasis on homes and items and takes no time to explain who, besides the owners, lives in them. Does the Princeton woman have a big family? With whom does the artist share his enchanted playhouse? Some backstories would illuminate each owner’s choice of dwelling and decor and make “Four Houses” — a fun, voyeuristic hoot — even better.

How do I deal with this before I scream? — Married to an Octopus Dear Married: Get your husband to a doctor for a complete checkup, including a neurological exam. George’s fixation on sex is making it difficult for his brain to focus on anything else.

If he is unable to control himself in public or in front of his own parents, it could indicate a serious medical problem.

Dear Annie: Our office atmosphere is friendly and casual, and we emphasize an “open door policy” to encourage this. The problem is one co-worker who constantly and loudly says, “Yuk, yuk, yuk, yuk!” It has nothing to do with humor.

If someone walked in and told him the building was on fire, his response would be, “Yuk, yuk, yuk, yuk!” He also constantly whistles,

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Monday, July 2: This year much of your energy will focus on making your daily life better. An interest in a hobby that keeps you moving helps your physical well-being. If you are single, you might find yourself attracted to someone very different from you.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Meetings and get-togethers with others go well most of the day. You enjoy people more than usual, until you get a certain message or call. Tonight: Do what you feel is workable.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Many people follow your lead. You might want to rethink a personal decision, but not now.

Someone obviously cares a lot about you. If it is not mutual, you might need to let this person down kindly. Tonight: Where the fun is.

Special tape on windows can help reduce bird strikes Y Go GREEN

ou’ve probably heard it — the sickening thud of a bird against a window.

You may also have seen the ghost print of spread wings, a few feathers sticking to the glass, a stunned bird in a nearby tree trying to shake it off,or a dead bird below.

Annually, 1 million birds die as a result of window strikes in the U.S. Though to us, windows are highly visible, to birds, they look like just another opening in the trees.

After many years of watching and feeding birds, I’ve tried many strategies to prevent these often-fatal collisions. Since they frequently happen near bird feeders, placing feeders as close as possible to nearby windows can lesson harm from strikes because birds can’t get up as much momentum at such a short distance. Also, being that close to a window, birds realize humans are close by and avoid flying into the space as a result.

Platform feeders fastened just beneath windows are an option, though squirrels find them an easy picnic area as well.

Another suggestion is to affix silhouettes of small bird hawks to windows as a way to frighten away songbirds. I’ve tried this, though, and have seen a mourning dove flushed by something else fly right

KELLY BARTH into the window next to the silhouette.

Hanging bells, ribbons, chimes, etc., outside of a window that birds have crashed into can be effective as well — anything that breaks the illusion that the window is a safe thruway is the ticket.

Some have had success attaching a sheer nylon screen in front of particularly hazardous windows. This material won’t obstruct your view and will last two to three years. Even mist netting used by biologists and birders to catch

birds for banding can be attached in front of windows and is sturdy and long lasting.

The best solution to date appears to be a new product developed by the American Bird Conservancy called bird tape, which has ultraviolet reflecting and absorbing patterns visible to birds but not humans.

After looking and listening for the telltale signs of bird strikes, you’ll probably find that only one or two windows in your home are repeat offenders. Attending to these rather than all your windows will likely fix the problem. Once you’ve determined the windows you need to address, clean and dry them and affix the tape in one of several grid patterns suggested by the manufacturer.

Bird tape is sold in 3/4-inch- or 3-inchwide rolls and has proven very effective in presenting a visual obstacle for birds.

Translucent and removable, the product is an inexpensive and novel solution to a problem that will only increase as humans place more and more window glass in bird habitat.

Incorporating red, white, blue and beyond

BY MELISSA RAYWORTH, ASSOCIATED PRESS

F

rom Memorial Day and Independence Day on through Labor Day, Americans are staging celebrations of patriotism. At summer ballgames and community events, we catch sight of billowing flags and take in the hum of the national anthem.

At the height of summer, many of us look for ways to bring a bit of patriotic style or military flair into our homes. But how do you add a dash of Americana into your decor without giving your home the feel of a bed-

and-breakfast in colonial Williamsburg?

Interior designer Mallory Mathison says ramping up your in-house display of patriotism can be done in a chic, 21st-century way.

But do tread carefully, says designer Lee Kleinhelter, owner of the Atlanta design store Pieces. “You can easily overdo it,” she says.

“Red, white and blue is classic,” says designer Brian Patrick Flynn, creator of the design blog decordemon.com. But it’s important to choose the right shades and patterns.

“To add touches of American style to my spaces, I often turn to textiles, particularly nautical prints, or even Ralph Lauren plaids reminiscent of Hamptons-style homes or the

preppy Ivy League styles of the Northeast,” Flynn says. “In a master bedroom for a bachelor, I used navy blue as the room’s base color, then added contrast with red, white and blue nautical pillows.”

Mathison loves doing rooms in blue and white, then bringing in just one dash of red through an accessory, lamp or even a vase of red flowers. Or she’ll add cotton rugs in shades of red, white and blue over a hardwood floor.

Future’s up in the air for flight instructor

BY CHANSI LONG

C

raig Harper has red hair and blue eyes, a swath of freckles splashed across his cheeks.

He’s a fast talker, words marching from his mouth with a mission: to teach people how to fly an airplane, and to do it well.

So no one gets hurt. “(My students’) lives are in my hands,” said Harper, of Eudora. “During training, they actually go up solo before they get their license. Making sure they’re ready to do that is kind of tricky.”

Harper is a flight instructor at Hetrick Air, 1930 N. Airport Road. A graduate from Kansas State University’s College of Technology and Aviation in Salina, Harper is 20 and looks young for his age. Upon a first meeting, his students may ask him if he’s still in high school. But after a initial wave of surprise, they forget his baby face as they watch him fly, admitting that if someone can graduate a fouryear program in three years, it’s because they’re good.

“I think the day I met him — Craig Harper he was wearing his K-State shirt,” said John Johnston, a student of Harper’s since May. “I had heard a lot about him, so I didn’t care (about his age) at all. … He’s an easy going, very skilled pilot.”

Back in high school — which was a little more than 3 years ago — Harper felt lost. He didn’t have a clue what he would do professionally. He thought about playing maybe baseball in college, then heard about a flight school in Salina. He visited the campus. And, having never been in a plane before, he decided to enroll.

He rocketed through the program, getting his private license the first semester

“If something scares you, you remember not to do it the next time. … If I know it’s going to be really unsafe, I’ll take over, but they definitely learn best by mistakes.”

Mike Yoder/Journal-World Photo

CRAIG HARPER, A FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR at the Lawrence Municipal Airport, left, observes student Jacob Schneider, De Soto, during a pre-flight inspection of a plane June 19. and finishing instrument reading the second. By summer, he was building time so he could get his commercial license.

K-State’s College of Aviation is a Part 141 school, a division controlled closely by the Federal Aviation Administration.

Part 141 pilots have to have 190 hours to earn a commercial license. By third semester, Harper had done it.

Next on his list was to become a certified flight instructor. The exam for CFA was a three-hour oral test followed by an hour-and-a-half flight.

“It was definitely the hardest rating I had to go through. I remember sitting there talking to the examiner, telling him about everything from aerodynamics to engine power plant, basically how to fly an airplane and how to teach,” Harper said.

Using a syllabus from Cessna, Harper teaches beginning pilots. He and his students practice maneuvers, steep turns, landing and stalls.

One way he ensures his students learn is to let them make mistakes. For instance,

he might let them endure a hard landing, though he felt it coming.

“If something scares you, you remember not to do it the next time,” he said.

“I’ve got controls on my side of the airplane, too. Rudders and the yoke. If I know it’s going to be really unsafe, I’ll take over, but they definitely learn best by mistakes.”

Harper learned by trial and error, too.

Stalls — abrupt drops in lift — were particularly troubling. There’s a certain technique you have to use, and it took Harper a batch of repetitive tries until it became rote. Now muscle memory takes over.

He lets his students learn the same way he did, repetition and mistake.

Johnston, a student who has taken a dozen lessons from Harper, has learned swiftly. He went solo after only seven hours. (Harper had 14 hours when he himself went solo.)

“I knew I would solo that day, and I was kind of nervous, but when you’re in an airplane there’s no help,” Johnston said.

“You don’t have time to think about being nervous.”

Harper drills safety into his students’ heads, so instead of being tense on the controls, they’re able to relax their grip and focus on the flight. He loves watching his students build confidence. But as much as he enjoys teaching, he doesn’t plan to do it long.

“Typically most flight instructors aren’t going to be in it for their career,” said Harper. “I’m just here building my hours.”

Harper is building hours so he can eventually fly multi-engine aircraft for commercial airlines. Right now he’s building total time — and in a year, he plans to reach his 1,200 hour goal. Later, he’ll knock out multi-engine time somewhere else. Then, who knows where he’ll go?

Wherever it is, it will be in an airplane.

“I was kind of wary at first,” Harper said. “I went out to Salina not being in an airplane at all, not knowing if I would like it, so I kind of got lucky. Turns out I enjoy it quite a bit.”

Cottage oven reminds resident of growing up

BY MARGIE CARR

W

hen Marilyn Clark was a young girl in upstate New York, a Sicilian family moved into her neighborhood, a family who brought a bread oven with them.

“It was just a small thing that they set up on bricks in their back yard,” says Clark, “but they cooked in it every day.”

Despite its diminutive size, it emitted an incredible aroma, and Clark says she was “always hanging around.” She knew that one day she would have one of her own.

It took a few years, but she started getting closer to her dream in 2008 when she met Keith Middlemas, who was working on a patio for one of Clark’s friends.

When she saw his work, she realized that she had found someone who could help her achieve her goal.

“Marilyn practically dragged me by the ear to her house,” Middlemas says. “She wanted to show me where she thought it would go.”

With Middlemas, Clark got much more than a bread oven, she got a work of art.

“It’s terminally cute,” says Middlemas, who spent nine months on the project and designed the steep-pitched roof intentionally to remind Clark of the architecture of the homes from her childhood in New York.

“I figure that we hauled 60 tons of stone and dirt in and out of this backyard,” he says.

The sides of the house are river cobblestones and the roof is quartzite from Idaho. Accent wood on the oven, as well as wood for a rustic entryway Middlemas created for Clark, is from the woods surrounding his home in Oskaloosa.

From the outside, the oven looks oldfashioned and quaint, like a cabin you might find in a medieval village, but don’t let that fool you — the inside has a spaceage design that allows the temperature to soar to extreme heights.

“Inside, there is insulation made from a refractory ceramic fiber that looks like angel hair,” says Middlemas.

The high temperature is exactly what Clark wanted.

“Seven hundred degrees is a good temperature for pizza,” she says.

In addition to pizza, Clark uses her oven to roast chickens, cook lamb chops,

MARILYN CLARK, ABOVE RIGHT, had an outdoor oven constructed by area stonemason Keith Middlemas designed to like a small cottage. It includes a woodfired oven and a built-in slide out grill.

Clark is joined by friends on her patio, from left, Mike and Kitty Johnson and Marianne and John Wilkinson. AT LEFT, CLARK SLIDES FOOD into the oven.

She says she cooks in it often in the summer because it doesn’t heat up the house.

See a recipe she uses to make pizza in the outdoor oven on page 5.

READ ABOUT THE WILDEMAN FAMILY’S OUTDOOR LIVING SPACE ON PAGE 10. and once she even roasted a pig.

“I thought it was going to be a little one, but it ended up being 26 pounds!” she says.

“The oven is great. I start the fire and forget about it.”

Clark estimates that she uses her oven four to five times a week.

“Some weeks it’s every night,” she says.

“I like using it in the summer so it doesn’t heat up the house.”

Maintenance is also easy.

“I just protect it from the rain and sweep up ashes every so often.”

Most of the wood she uses has come from a locust tree that was recently cut down in her yard.

“Some people with these wood-burn-

ing ovens will only use cherry wood for fish and other things like that … but I haven’t looked into that very closely,” she says.

Knowing that Clark makes use of her oven is music to Middlemas’ ears: “I’m just an old guy who can find rocks,” he says. “I love hearing that Marilyn uses it as often as she does.”

Getting the dirt on dirt for healthier, happier kids FAMILY FEATURES

A

ccording to a new report from the National Wildlife Federation, “The Dirt on Dirt: How Getting Dirty Outdoors Benefits Kids,” children who spend their free time in the company of their hi-tech gadgets are more vulnerable to obesity, ADHD, vitamin D deficiency and depression.

There’s a growing body of research that suggests overprotecting kids from dirt and germs may actually inhibit their health:

When children are exposed to germs and pathogens during infancy, their risk of cardiovascular inflammation in adulthood is reduced, according to a 2010 Northwestern University study.

A friendly bacteria found in soil helps produce serotonin, which enhances feelings of well-being, according to a 2007 Bristol University study.

Here are some fun — and messy — ideas from the National Wildlife Federation that will let your kids have some good, clean, dirty fun outdoors:

Give your child a stick and a muddy surface to draw on. Mistakes are no problem. Just smooth them over and start again.

When it rains, take a walk through your neighborhood to see which animals go under cover and which come out in wet weather.

Collect dirt, grass, leaves, twigs and acorns in a large container, and you have a bountiful nature salad. Add some water, and it’s mud stew.

Polish communist hardships game goes global WARSAW, POLAND (AP) — A popular Polish board game based on the hardships of communism is now available in international editions.

Poland’s National Remembrance Institute released the Polish version of the game — called “Kolejka”— last year.

The goal was to teach youth about frustrations and shortages during the decades of communism, which Poland shed in 1989.

Although referred to as “Communist Monopoly” the game doesn’t let players collect rent or buy land. Instead, they often get frustrated because they can’t buy anything even after waiting in long lines. “Kolejka” means line, or queue.

Game developer Karol Madaj said Thursday that he chose that theme because standing in lines was a common experience under communism. He also knew he could “transform a queue into a board game, arrange the pawns in lines and make players elbow their way to the shop door.”

Madaj said word of the game quickly spread abroad, so the institute is launching versions in English, German, Spanish, Japanese and Russian.

Try to open communication on birth control Dear Dr. Wes and Miranda: I picked up some birth control brochures from my doctor the other day because I’m thinking of switching to a different one that you don’t have to take a pill every day.

The thing is my mom doesn’t know I’m even on birth control and I’m pretty sure she found those papers. She hasn’t said anything, and I don’t know whether to bring it up or let it be.

There’s a good reason I didn’t tell her about this. She is really negative about having sex outside of marriage and I don’t want to get a fight going with her. BTW, I’m 18 so it’s my choice.

Dr. Wes: It’s always sad to hear that a parent and child have this kind of communication around the topic of sex. While you have a right to privacy, especially at 18, having to sneak around to take birth control suggests that you and your mom haven’t evolved a very healthy relationship about something so important. Now might be the perfect time to change that.

On the other hand, that’s not really your responsibility. It’s your mom’s job to open and maintain good communication on this issue, and it’s best if that starts when you’re about five. What’s going on between you now affords her no opportunity to convey her own values and ideals, preferably without judgment or condescension.

I was recently interviewed on a Christian radio station by two very gracious hosts who knew up front our take on sex in this column and our books. Toward the end they asked the inevitable question: “Have you given up on the idea that teens and young adults will wait until marriage to have sex?” I answered, “No. I haven’t. I just don’t rely on it.”

Yours is a good example of why. The statistics are lopsidedly against abstinence before marriage and they have been for several generations, and probably forever. So we have to work with our kids within that reality to help them make good choices, care for themselves

sexually, and give their love to those who deserve it most. None of that can happen in the vacuum between you and your mom.

That said, I probably would not bring up the brochures, but I would practice how to handle it if she does. Drive around a bit in the country dialoguing with yourself, talking out both sides of the conversation until you have down what you want to say. If you’ve taken an ethical and sane approach to sex, be sure your mom knows that. If you haven’t, then maybe it’s time for you to rethink what you’re doing, just as I’m suggesting your mom might rethink hers.

You’re an adult now. It’s most important that you be proud of what you’re doing.

the family can strain relationships. Even if she is totally against premarital sex, she will always want what’s best for you. If lying is bothering you, then maybe you should try and talk about it with her, but always remind her that at the end of the day it is your body.

Keep in mind that this could just be your guilt leading you to worry about something that isn’t actually a problem. Maybe you should be honest with your mom if you think it’s possible. You don’t want to start a fight, but will she be madder if you open up about this now, or if she finds out that you’ve been keeping it from her for a long time?

Try to balance making your own decisions and being honest while keeping communication with your parents open. These decisions are part of dealing with the consequences of choosing to be sexually active. While it may take some time for your mom and you to work through this, she will always be your mom at the end of the day, and hopefully understand your decisions.

Miranda: Wes’s points notwithstanding, birth control and sex are nearly impossible to discuss with most parents. What’s important is that if you are choosing to have sex, you need to be safe and smart about it. Using condoms if you are sexually active is also very important, and I do not recommend going off birth control just to please your mom.

Leaving your mom out of the loop may cost you in the long run, though. Keeping secrets in

White House’s corn soup with summer veggies

7

ASSOCIATED PRESS

M

ichelle Obama, the nation’s first lady and a high-profile spokeswoman for healthy eating, has added a new book on growing and cooking nutritious food to her resume. Here’s an easy soup recipe from the White House chefs, printed in “American Grown: The Story of the White House Kitchen Garden and Gardens Across America.”

“This versatile soup is the essence of summer. Dairy-free and nearly fat-free, it showcases the pure, sweet taste of summer corn and can be served hot or at room temperature,” White House chef Sam Kass writes in Obama’s new book.

“A garnish of summer vegetables, grilled and cut into bite-sized pieces, makes this soup your own unique creation. Try zucchini or summer squash, tomatoes, eggplant, peppers or mushrooms, alone or in combination. If you leave out the corn kernels and don’t thin the soup with the corn stock, this becomes a luxurious sauce for seafood like halibut, tilapia, or shrimp.”

CORN SOUP WITH SUMMER VEGETABLES Start to finish: 1 1/2 hours Servings: 4 6 ears of corn, husks and silk removed 2 sprigs fresh thyme Juice of 1/2 lemon (about 1 tablespoon) Salt Olive oil Grilled vegetables of your choice: zucchini, summer squash, tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, mushrooms Carefully cut the kernels off the ears of corn. To do this, stand each ear of corn upright on its wide end, then use a serrated knife to carefully saw down the length of the cob, rotating and repeating until all of the kernels are removed.

Set the kernels aside. Do not discard the cobs.

To make corn stock, place the cobs in a large stockpot. Add enough water to just barely cover. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the water has a rich corn flavor. Strain the stock and discard the cobs and any solids. Set aside.

Reserve 3/4 cup of the corn kernels, then place the remaining kernels in a blender.

Puree until smooth, about 45 seconds.

If needed, add a bit of the corn stock to help get the blender started. Pour the puree through a mesh strainer into a medium saucepan. Discard any bits of skin.

Add the thyme and bring the soup to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly. Do not boil.

As the soup heats, the starch from the corn will begin to thicken the soup.

Once the soup has thickened to the consistency of applesauce, about 3 to 4 minutes, add the lemon juice and the reserved corn stock a bit at a time until the soup reaches the desired thickness. You should have 4 to 6 cups of soup. Season with salt.

Heat a small skillet over medium. Add enough olive oil to coat the bottom on the pan. When the oil is hot, add the reserved corn kernels. Do not stir until the corn has a nice brown color. Stir the corn, then remove it from the heat.

Divide the soup between serving bowls, then top each serving with some of the seared corn and any other grilled vegetables desired.

ACTING OUT (IN A GOOD WAY)

BY DANIELLE MOCCIA

A

John Young/Journal-World Photos

DOROTHY, PLAYED BY CARTER STACEY, sings as she is held captive in the Wicked Witch of the West’s castle during a dress rehearsal of “The Wizard of Oz” June 14 at the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 N.H.

pproximately 100 of Lawrence’s youngest aspiring actors shimmy and twirl their way through a complicated dance number during a rehearsal for the Lawrence Arts Center’s latest Summer Youth Theater production, “The Wizard of Oz.” Minutes later, artistic director Ric Averill sits down at a baby grand piano to explain to some virtuosi-in-training why the song “The Merry Old Land of Oz” is sung in the E flat key.

“The key of E flat is very royal and energetic, which is the same key that Beethoven used to write his ‘The Emperor’s Symphony,’” he says. “That’s what different keys do — they match the drama of the music with the drama of the lyrics.”

Forty feet away, a choreographer works to perfect a dance routine while preteen girls in flip-flops and cutoff shorts take turns braiding each other’s hair between scenes.

And it’s not even snack time yet.

The arts center’s Summer Youth Theater program, or SYT, draws in about 300 thirdthrough 12th-graders annually, says Averill, who has been coordinating SYT for nearly two decades.

Regardless of their level of theater experience, every youth who auditions for an SYT production gets cast, he says.

“You can have two students come in with very diverse levels of experience but will still find themselves moving forward — we try to make sure that there is a curricular growth for all students as they go through the program,” he says. “We really believe that you learn by doing the best show possible.”

Participants also get the chance to make new friends outside their regular social circles.

“There are a lot more nice people out there than I originally thought there were,” says first-year SYT participant Veda Cobb, 12. “I

grew up in a neighborhood full of old people where my best friend was an 80-year-old — which I liked because they made me cookies — but theater can help kids interact with other kids who have the same interests.”

Fifteen-year-old Kayla Clark agrees and says those involved in theater are very accepting of others.

When the Free State High School sophomore isn’t acting or doing technical work for school plays, Kayla says she likes to volunteer at Theater Lawrence’s weeklong youth theater camp “School’s Out, Theater’s In.” “I see kids come in here crying because they don’t want leave their moms, but by the end of the week they become different people,” she says. “It’s fun to see them come out of their shells.”

Hailey Gillespie, youth education program director at Theatre Lawrence, says getting kids of all ages to succeed in theater can be a challenge.

“Grade-school-aged kids are more hesitant to open up because they’re afraid of what other people think, whereas kids in high school are hesitant because they’re not sure of their ability to do it. A lot of kids are scared to try something new when they’re not sure what the result is going to be,” she says. “But once they do open up, they realize that this is the place to experiment.”

Gillespie says she enjoys working with youth because of their energy and honesty.

“I’m constantly surprised at how imaginative they can be,” she says. “No matter what I bring to the table, they always have something that goes above and beyond what I hadn’t even thought of.”

Kids who participate in theater gain confidence as well as learn how to problem-solve and work as a team, Gillespie says.

Eleven-year-old Theatre Lawrence veteran Kassidie Womack says theater helped bring out her inner self.

on the street Were you ever interested in acting?

“No. I never wanted to be on stage.”

Kira Miller, accountant, Fort Leavenworth

CAST MEMBERS WAVE as the curtain closes during a dress rehearsal of “The Wizard of Oz” on June 14 at the Lawrence Arts Center.

“My mom thought I would be a good actor because I’m very bold with my suggestions and ways of doing things,” she says.

“I don’t fake a certain attitude when I’m acting — I use my own attitude and personality to help make the play better.”

Lexi Kreigh, 13, who played the Scarecrow in “The Wizard of Oz,” says although the most nerve-wracking part of the performance process is auditioning, she occasionally gets stage fright if she’s playing a large role.

“It’s a little stressful at times knowing that you’re so close to opening night and you don’t have everything done or memorized,” Lexi says. “But it’s fun when you’re on stage entertaining everyone and you just know

that you worked hard to put on a good show.”

Although she gets nervous for the younger kids when she’s working backstage during the theater camps, Kayla says that she rarely gets stage fright herself.

“Even if there are just two people in the theater,” she says, “there’s just an awesome thrill that comes from performing.”

People make mistakes and things don’t always turn out as planned — in life as well as on the stage — but the show always goes on, Gillespie says.

“There’s never a perfect show,” she says, “but at the end when you take your bow, what’s important is the sense of accomplishment and the joy you feel for all the hard work you’ve done.”

Family entertains with expanded space

erry and Sheila Wildeman’s outdoor kitchen and living space at their home south of Lawrence is something that just sort of grew.

“One day we were sitting outside on the patio, and I said we should think about making the patio bigger,” said Terry.

“I thought it would be cool to have a fireplace,” said Sheila.

That little push was all Terry needed. Within months, Terry, a carpenter and owner of Wildeman Home Remodeling, built a fireplace complete with spaces for a grill and a smoker.

Terry then suggested that they put in a swimming pool for their three children, Morgan, Garrett and Ashley.

“At first Sheila pooh-poohed the idea, but after she ran the kids to the pool a couple of times (a 25-minute trip each way), that was all she needed!”

Five years ago, Terry installed a pool and built a surrounding deck. A small fountain came next.

“Then one day I was out here grilling,” said Terry, “and I thought that what we really needed was some running water.”

Sheila added, “When he said that, I thought it would be nice to have a bar and an ice maker to make margaritas.”

You can guess what happened next: Terry built a kitchen, complete with sink, refrigerator, lights and a fan.

“The wood is all cedar, and the sides are stone to withstand the weather,” says Terry, “and the countertop is slate so it’s practically indestructible.”

“It’s nice that it is partially covered,” says Sheila. “This way we get to enjoy the space even when it’s raining.”

And enjoy it they do. Every weekend Terry can be found outside using either his grill or smoker.

“Terry has a reputation for trying just about anything, and he’s eaten some wild eating foods,” says Sheila.

“I’ve eaten rattlesnake, snapping turtles, doves, pheasants and rabbits,” says Terry, “but I’d never get away with making that stuff here … I couldn’t even tell the kids that we had buffalo burgers the other night!”

What Terry does use his grill and smoker for is chick-

“Then one day I was out here grilling,” said Terry, “and I thought that what we really needed was some running water.”

Sheila added, “When he said that, I thought it would be nice to have a bar and an ice maker to make margaritas.”

“Ashley likes the pork,” he says, “and Garrett likes the twice-baked potatoes — and there is nothing like a twicebaked potato just out of the smoker!”

But the food for which the Wildemans are, perhaps, best known is their Cream Can Cooking — “Real hillbilly style!” says Terry — a meal prepared and cooked in an eight-gallon milk can. And the Wildemans make it every Fourth of July.

Last year, more than 100 people converged on their three-acre property for their annual celebration that, like their outdoor living space, seems to get bigger every year.

To accommodate their growing parties, and their growing children, the Wildemans decided to add on to the inside of their home as well, and a couple years ago and they created a downstairs playroom accessible to the outside through sliding glass doors. The room has a bar, pool table and pingpong table.

“It’s nice for the kids,” says Terry. “Kids come out here and we don’t have to worry.”

As you might expect, the Wildemans are already planning their next addition.

“We are going to put in a shower and an outdoor waterfall,” says Sheila.

INTERVENTIONS RECOMMENDED TO HELP CURB ADDICTION R Mind

ecently the American Society of Addiction Medicine changed the definition of “addiction.”

Addiction, no longer viewed as a simple disease, is now a “primary, chronic disease of brain reward, motivation, memory and related circuitry.” In other words, addiction is now viewed as a brain disorder, not driven by personality or psychology, but an unbalanced, disorganized brain that is seeking balance.

It is our view that most disorders currently treated as psychological/behavioral disorders will soon be classified as brain disorders driven by imbalances and disharmony in brain activity. Robert Scaer’s book “The Body Bears the Burden” is an excellent resource for those interested in a deeper understanding of the relationship between a brain’s imbalances and behavior, particularly in relationship to psychological or physical trauma.

Many professionals are concerned about the implications of the new definition. Some believe that it does nothing to decrease the stigma of addiction.

Though destigmatizing addiction may have been part of the intent of the change in definition, it is the least important aspect of it.

The fact of the matter is if our intention is to assist addicts in overcoming their addictions, then we need to place our attention on the causal point.

Thus far, placing our attention on personality and psychological factors has helped only a small percentage of addicts.

Even the most effective interventions, like 12-step processes or residential treatment programs, have only minimal long-term success.

We have recently found two alternative interventions that have been helpful in getting to the underlying energy associated with addiction, substance abuse and many other mental health problems like depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Both interventions appear to place the attention on deeper energies of stuck emotion and unbalanced brain activity.

We will only be able to briefly describe them here. It is for you to investigate them further should you have interest.

One methodology is contained in a

Thus far, placing our attention on personality and psychological factors has helped only a small percentage of addicts.

Even the most effective interventions, like 12-step processes or residential treatment programs, have only minimal long-term success. book by Michael Brown titled “The Presence Process.” The other is a new technology called Brainwave Optimization.

The Presence Process is a self-driven process that enables you to work with trapped emotional energy that inhibits your authentic self from emerging. It is a gentle and noninvasive process that does require a strong commitment. We have had several clients who have found The Presence Process a powerful and beneficial means to changes in their life experience.

Brainwave Optimization is a state-ofthe-art, neuro-feedback type of technology that enables the brain to see and alter itself into an optimized condition leading to balance and harmony.

We have witnessed individuals with

recalcitrant mental health conditions improve dramatically with the use of this technology, lowering the need for medications, freeing themselves to live more fulfilling lives.

This process does require some lifestyle changes to bolster and ensure permanence in outcomes.

The above processes may be even more powerful when combined and are helpful for all mental health conditions and many physical problems. We often recommend Brainwave Optimization followed by The Presence Process (doing them at the same time may be confusing to the brain).

Before embarking on either of these methods, the addict or substance abuser may be required to undergo conventional treatment to stop the use of substance.

Neither process is effective when substances are being abused.

The Presence Process is available through most book retailers and an audio version is available through Namaste Publishing. Information on Brainwave Optimization can be found at brainstatetech. com.

Keep in mind that many alternative strategies are not supported by rigorous research, and neither The Presence Process nor Brainwave Optimization are intended to diagnose or treat any specific condition or symptom. Alternatives can be wonderfully supportive to conventional treatment options.

As always, an appropriate mental health and/or medical consultation should be sought and received prior to utilizing any form of treatment or alternative.

Style FOR THE AGES

}

Since layering is difficult at best under the blazing sun, shoes give men a chance to “put their best foot forward” fashion-wise (bad pun, I know).

VAUGHN SCRIBNER

Summer shoes for men W

e’re now in full swing of yet another (surprise) hot, muggy Kansas summer — that time when heat waves ripple off the blacktop and central air becomes your refuge.

Unfortunately, the heat’s not going away anytime soon, but neither should your classic, practical style.

Over the next few months I’ll detail some easy, affordable ways to stay stylish during the dog days of summer, starting from the ground up with shoes.

Summer shoe options are incredibly diverse and provide men a great opportunity to vary otherwise limited summer wardrobe choices. Since layering is difficult at best under the blazing sun, shoes give men a chance to “put their best foot forward” fashion-wise (bad pun, I know).

An option I find myself leaning toward are classic/casual sneakers, like those Converse and Vans have made for 60 years.

Although offered in a seemingly endless variety of materials, color schemes, patterns and styles, the most popular versions of these American athletic classics are simple, relatively inexpensive (around $40) canvas editions in basic colors like white, navy, red and black.

Leather is also a nice alternative, as it will age better and last longer than canvas, but is usually pricier ($70 to $100) and isn’t as breathable or colorful as canvas.

The great thing about a pair of Converse “Chuck Taylors” or Vans “Authentics” is their classic simplicity,

functionality and affordability. You really can’t go wrong with them as a casual option, especially when paired with shorts or jeans and a T-shirt.

If you find yourself wanting a dressier alternative to the sneaker, you might try a pair of boat shoes. With their “prep” and “Ivy League” pedigree, these classics have experienced a huge resurgence in the past two years in high fashion as well as everyday wear.

For more than 80 years, Sperry has offered traditional boat shoes with durable leather uppers, sticky rubber

soles and stylish leather laces for discerning sailors everywhere, and has recently expanded its lineup to offer a staggering combination of materials, colorways and patterns for those who stick to land. Although a bit more expensive than most sneakers at around $80, boat shoes offer an impressive level of classic, refined quality that can be paired as easily with shorts and a T-shirt as khakis and an oxford.

Rounding out these footwear options are the most casual of the group, espadrilles. Finding their origins in the Pyrenees Mountains, these classic rope-soled shoes of the French Mediterranean have made their way to America via the explosion in popularity of TOMS — an American-based shoe company that provides a child in need with a pair of shoes for every pair you purchase.

If you don’t want to spring for TOMS, Soludos offers a more affordable pair of espadrilles at a similar quality point. Easy to slip on (no laces), breathable during the hottest days because of their sheer canvas upper and quite affordable at around $50, espadrilles are a stylish, storied alternative to sneakers and boat shoes.

Urban Outfitters, 1013 Mass.; Foxtrot, 737 Mass.; Shark’s Surf Shop, 813 Mass.; and Famous Footwear, 3230 Iowa, offer a great selection of classic/casual sneakers, boat shoes and espadrilles.

SOME OPTIONS FOR MEN’S FOOTWEAR in the summer include, clockwise from top, leather boat shoes, TOMS canvas espadrilles and Converse sneakers.

Summer Sale Starts Now

River City Jules

y friend C.J. had the perfect proposal planned for his girlfriend, Michelle.

Moved by the beauty of Christmas Eve Mass, Michelle would be a holiday vision as they exchanged gifts under the tree.

First she would open the outfit he had carefully selected followed by a sparkling engagement ring surprise.

Christmas bells rang throughout the slumbering city while C.J. and Michelle shuffled to the car. He smiled to himself all the way to her house as he set his plan into motion.

“Let’s exchange presents when we get home,” he calmly suggested, “so we can sleep in a little longer before we roll out tomorrow.”

“I don’t know, C.J.,” she countered, “I’m really tired.”

C.J. should have expected parts of his plan to be met with some degree of resistance, as the clock was ticking away to midnight and Michelle was worn out from a week of business trips.

But C.J. kept his cool and continued to make his case.

“Yeah, me too,” he briefly conceded.

“But I know tomorrow morning is going to be crazy loading food and our families’ gifts into the car. I really think we should just do it tonight.”

Michelle considered his point for a moment before agreeing, unwittingly placing herself one step closer to the altar.

They arrived at Michelle’s house where C.J. offered to take her new puppy out. He stood on Michelle’s front porch, inhaling the chilly night air with eager anticipation of the moment he had waited for all of his life. He would present her the ring and drop to one knee; she, still dressed to the nines and radiant from the season, would leap into his arms with a resounding, “Yes! Yes, I will marry you!”

He walked back into the house ready to start a new chapter in their lives and watched as his future bride emerged from her bedroom … dressed now in an old, blue T-shirt and magenta sweatpants, her hair piled into a ponytail atop her head.

The vision made him gasp — choke a little, maybe — but it did not dampen his resolve.

Neither did Michelle’s lack of enthusiasm about the blouse he had bought her, one they would later compare to Seinfeld’s infamous puffy-sleeved shirt.

No, C.J. pressed on with his plan, presenting Michelle with a dazzling diamond engagement ring, much to her surprise, and speaking not what was on his mind (“What’s up with the magenta sweatpants?”), but what was in his heart (“You are beautiful, even in magenta sweatpants”).

This weekend, the happy nearly-weds will travel from their hometown of Wichita to Lawrence, their wedding destination of choice, to seal their union far above the golden valley while the carillon bells of the nearby Campanile ring throughout our city.

Michelle has put away the magenta sweatpants, promising to step it up a little more for the wedding than she did for their engagement, but I have a feeling C.J. is not concerned, as long as, in the end, he gets to kiss his bride.

WE ALL SCREAM FOR HOMEMADE ICE CREAM T

here is little that tastes better in the heat of the summer than a scoop of ice cold ice cream. Making homemade ice cream, although time-consuming, is a fun, easy way to make a delicious treat.

Step 1: Start with fresh, high-quality ingredients, and chill all of the ingredients in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours before making ice cream. Chill the bowl or canister for making the ice cream in also.

Step 2: Follow any basic ice cream recipe and prepare the cream mixture.

Step 3: Place the mixture in a stainless steel bowl or in the ice cream maker canister. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Step 4: If you have an ice cream machine, follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Assemble the machine and place the cream-filled canister into position. Pack the outside of the canister with ice and allow the machine to mix the cream for 2 minutes.

Step 5: Continue mixing and pour 1 cup of rock salt onto the ice in the outer bucket. Continue to add ice, pouring on rock salt each time. Keep a ratio of 5 cups ice per 1 cup rock salt as you go.

Step 6: If you do not have an ice cream maker, prepare an ice bath for the cream filled bowl by filling a larger container with ice. Place the cream-filled bowl into the ice and pour rock salt over the top of the ice, keeping a 5:1 ice to salt ratio.

Step 7: Mix the cream mixture for several minutes and then return it to the freezer for 45 minutes. Remove and repeat process until ice cream is firm. This usually takes 2 to 3 hours.

iStock photo

Step 8: Once the cream mixture is the consistency of soft-serve ice cream, properly harden it by tightly sealing the bowl or canister and packing the outside of the canister, including the top, with ice.

Step 9: Sprinkle the ice with rock salt, keeping the 5:1 ratio in mind. Place a heavy towel over the bucket, ice and bowl assembly and let the ice cream harden.

Claims have been made that properly hardened ice cream stored in a freezer will stay fresh for up to a month, but considering how delicious homemade ice cream is, you will be hard-pressed to find anyone who has actually tested that theory.

Feast of arts, galaxy of stars for Olympics

L

(AP) — There will be amazing performances and memorable scenes all over Britain this summer. And only some of them will involve medals.

Many of the world’s top athletes will compete in the Olympics this summer, and there will be plenty of action away from the tracks, fields and arenas. Alongside the sporting contest is an entertainment extravaganza that will bring stars and celebrities from Paul McCartney to Brangelina to London during the Games.

Britain is organizing a banquet designed to demonstrate — as Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt put it — that “culture is to Britain what the sun is to Spain.”

Culture is a $177 billion a year business in Britain, and music is one of the country’s biggest exports, so it’s no surprise that the Games will be accompanied by a melodic soundtrack of summer concerts.

On July 21-22, the “River of Music” will feature six stages along the ONDON

Thames — each named for a different continent — with music from artists including Baaba Maal, Wynton Marsalis, the Kronos Quartet and the Scissor Sisters.

The arrival of the Olympic Torch on July 26 will be celebrated with a concert in Hyde Park featuring Wretch 32, Dizzee Rascal, The Wanted and Mark Ronson.

The next day Paul McCartney will close the opening ceremony, a three-hour extravaganza directed by “Slumdog Millionaire” filmmaker Danny Boyle. Across town in Hyde Park, Snow Patrol, Stereophonics, Paolo Nutini and 1980s heartthrobs Duran Duran are headlining a celebratory concert.

A musical theme also dominates the Aug. 12 closing ceremony, billed as “A Symphony of British Music,” with George Michael, Take That and The Who rumored to be taking part.

In Hyde Park, Blur, New Order and The Specials are lined up for a closing-night concert.

London also is hosting the Para-

lympic Games between Aug. 29 and Sept. 9, and Coldplay is scheduled to headline the closing ceremony.

Beyond Olympic Park, London is putting on its best public face for visitors, with outdoor performances, free film screenings, and museum exhibitions all contributing to what the mayor’s office has dubbed “a summer like no other.”

Giant screens dotted around London will show the Olympic action for an estimated 3 million people, with an array of entertainment provided alongside the sports.

A cornucopia of arts events is taking place as part of the London 2012 Festival, which runs to Sept. 9 and involves some 12,000 events featuring 25,000 artists from around the world.

Venues range from the banks of the River Thames in London to Hadrian’s Wall in northern England and the ancient Stonehenge monument in the southwest, which will be spectacularly lit by flames in a “Fire Garden” the nights of July 10-12.
