YOUTH VOLUNTEER CORPS KIDS add finishing touches to an alleyway mural Wednesday morning behind the 1109 Gallery at 1109 Mass. About 15 kids teamed up for the project, which reads “Make Art.” Work on the mural began Monday and concluded Wednesday. TOP PHOTO: Paintbrushes in buckets await the eager young artists.

Kids reclaim wall with art

By Meagan Thomas mthomas@ljworld.com

Sixteen-year-old Madeline Chestnut spent Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday painting on what some would call an extremely large canvas.

“It’s not every day you get to paint on a building,” Chestnut said.

Chestnut, along with 12 other teenagers, volunteered to create a mural to cover graffiti on the backside of the Lawrence Art Guild’s 1109 Gallery.

Since the gallery opened in May 2009, the building has had problems with vandals tagging the back area.

The Lawrence Art Guild

suggested to the gallery’s landlord that a mural be painted to try to bring the graffiti to a halt. The plan to paint the backside of the building came together when the United Way Roger Hill Volunteer Center called the art guild wondering whether it had any projects teenagers could help with as part of its Summer of Service 2012, a program that gives teenagers the opportunity to volunteer and make a positive impact in the community.

Lawrence Art Guild president Amanda Monaghan thought allowing the teens to get involved and create BLAKE NELSON, 13, LAWRENCE, sits patiently as Arlo March, 13, Lawrence, paints a pair of glasses on his face after finishing their Please see MURAL, page 2A portion of the mural.

TOPEKA — Several Republican governors have said they will not expand health care coverage for the poor under the Affordable Care Act. But while Republican Gov. Sam Brownback has been an ardent opponent of the ACA, he has not given a definitive answer on whether he would expand Medicaid, which could affect more than 150,000 Kansans.

“He will make a decision after the elections,” his spokeswoman Sherriene Jones-Sontag said Wednesday.

Brownback While the U.S. Supreme Court recently upheld the ACA as constitutional, it ruled that the federal government couldn’t penalize states that opt out of a Medicaid expansion outlined in the federal health care law.

That means states have the option of expanding coverage. Federal officials have Sebelius said with the federal government picking up 100 percent of the cost for the first three years and 90 percent after that, the states should jump on board.

Hospital changes procedure to prevent disability payment abuse

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Lawrence Memorial Hospital has changed how it offers information to patients who may qualify for disability payments, after a Lawrence doctor expressed concern the system was ripe for abuse.

LMH officials recently confirmed it has directed an outside contractor that provides Medicaid assistance to no longer provide information to patients about firms that charge people a fee to apply for disability benefits. The directive came after Lawrence physician Alan Cowles

the community artwork was the perfect project.

“With a mural we thought it would be like inspiration for (the teens and community) to keep art in mind and be inspired to make artwork,” Monaghan said.

The mural’s inspirational message to make art is written in the painting, literally.

Before beginning to paint, the volunteers split into teams, designed letters and voted on the best ones to create the phrase “make art.”

The letter “K” is made by the body of a girl holding a paintbrush. The letter “R” resembles a green, slimy monster.

“It’s nice to empower them, give them paint and brushes and tell them to go for it,” Kristina Crawford, Lawrence Art Guild member, said. “We really just let the kids do it; they totally took ownership of the project.”

Topeka artist Alex Lancaster helped make the mural special by volunteering to airbrush details onto the painting.

Volunteers and members of the Lawrence Art Guild hope the mural will deter whoever has been tagging the building.

“It’s an unspoken rule in street or public art that taggers leave those areas alone out of respect for other artists, so hopefully they’ll respect those kids’ work and leave it alone,” Monaghan said.

The volunteers finished the project Wednesday, and the Lawrence Art Guild will hold a reception and unveil the mural during Final Friday from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. July 27 at the gallery, 1109 Mass.

during 2011 but received little information and was unsuccessful in getting a meeting with hospital administrators.

In February 2012, Cowles submitted a Kansas Open Records request to hospital, which is subject to the law because it is a nonprofit organization and an entity of the city. Cowles received no response to the request. In May, Cowles filed another open records request, and again received no response.

Kansas law generally requires organizations to provide at least a preliminary response to an open records request within three business days of receiving the request.

Last month, Cowles took his concerns to the Lawrence City Commission. Cowles then received a meeting with hospital officials after the Journal-World began inquiring about the disability referral system.

“It was pretty frustrating trying to communicate with them,” Cowles said.

Early said the hospital did err in not responding to Cowles’ open records request. She said it appears the requests were inappropriately forwarded to the medical records department and did not get to her office, which processes all open records requests.

“We had some internal confusion about those requests,” Early said. “This has been an opportunity to educate everyone about how those requests are handled.”

Another De Soto won’t let Kill Creek barn die resident wakes to burglar

By Rob Roberts

rroberts@theworldco.info

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

A 74-year-old Lawrence woman awoke early Wednesday morning to a man standing in her bedroom holding a light.

“She sat up and asked what he was doing, and the suspect ran out of the room and out of the residence,” said Kim Murphree, a Lawrence police spokeswoman.

Officers were still trying to determine whether the suspect took any property in the aggravated burglary before 4 a.m. in the 1300 block of Raintree Place, just east of the intersection of University Drive and Iowa Street.

The crime is similar to incidents reported in recent months in which sleeping residents awoke to find someone in their homes, and police on Wednesday said the latest incident was a reminder to be vigilant about home security.

“The victims, they feel very violated when somebody enters their home,” said Rob Neff, a Lawrence police neighborhood resource officer. “It’s a very personal crime. We take that one very seriously.”

Murphree said the suspect in the Wednesday incident was described as a white man with a small b u i l d wearing a black, hooded sweatshirt. The suspect’s description doesn’t appear to match with reports of similar burglaries reported in May and June in southwest Lawrence.

Police on June 9 did arrest a 32-year-old Lawrence man, William D. Washington III, after he allegedly tried to enter someone’s home while they were investigating an aggravated burglary at a nearby house minutes earlier in the 3400 block of Augusta Drive.

Prosecutors later charged Washington with one count of aggravated burglary, attempted aggravated burglary, burglary, obstruction and two misdemeanor counts of theft. He is free on $15,000 bond, and his next court appearance is scheduled for Tuesday. Police at the time of his arrest said they were investigating whether he could be linked to a handful of similar burglaries reported before then, mostly in southwest Lawrence.

Neff said Wednesday’s burglary was a reminder to secure doors and windows, including placing a broomstick in the track of a glass-sliding door to keep it from being pulled open from the outside.

“I do it every night,” Neff said. “Just make it a routine that you go through and check every door and window before you go to bed.”

In addition he suggested:

Make sure your garage door is closed every night and don’t leave garage door openers in vehicles parked outside.

Install motion lights, including at the back of your house or a home-security system.

Use dead bolts and window locks.

Report any suspicious activity to police by calling 911 and also keep an eye on activity in your neighborhood.

DE SOTO — Everything’s coming up sunflowers at a site along Kill Creek Road that, at times, has seemed cursed.

This weekend, Zimmerman’s Kill Creek Farm in De Soto will host the third annual Sunflower ArtFest.

The De Soto Rotary Club began growing and selling sunflowers there four years ago to raise money for Rotary International’s polio fight.

“We thought their project was so beautiful that it would be great to do an art festival with it,” said Rose Burgweger, president of the De Soto Arts Council.

So in addition to the sunflowers, which have grown to include nine varieties, the event features area artists, whose numbers have grown to 21.

There is no admission fee for the event, which will feature live music, artist booths and a tent filled with sunflowers portrayed in a variety of media. But donations will be encouraged to help enclose the timber beams that have sprouted next to the sunflowers.

U.S. health official praises local clinic, emphasizes grant

By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

U.S. Health and Human Services Acting Regional Director Jay Angoff praised Lawrence’s Heartland Community Health Center for providing medical care to anyone regardless of their health status and income.

“You are really doing God’s work, and it really is a very heartening thing to see,” he said during a brief presentation Wednesday at the clinic, which was attended by about 40 residents, including Douglas County commissioners Nancy Thellman and Jim Flory and leaders from nonprofit community health organizations.

Angoff visited Heartland, located in the east end of the Riverfront Mall, to officially congratulate its staff and board on receiving a $650,000 renewable annual federal grant in June as part of being designated a Federally Qualified Health Center. The clinic also will receive enhanced Medicaid and Medicare reimbursement and at-cost drug pricing.

“The secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services has and will always have a soft spot in her heart for Kansas. That doesn’t mean you were given any preferential treatment,” he said, referring to former Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, which provoked laughter from the crowd. “You got the award you deserve, and she’s particularly happy to be able to give it.”

The grant will allow the center to hire more staff and purchase equipment that will enable it to provide more services and take care of more people.

The center currently has about 5,000 patients, and Heartland CEO Jon Stewart expects that to double in the first year.

Angoff said he was pleased that Heartland addresses mental health needs because so many people don’t seek help because of the stigma associated with it. He also praised Heartland’s ability to provide a variety of preventive services such as smoking-cessation Please see HEALTH, page 4A

5K race to promote Barn healthy living, benefit school garden project

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

A new 5K race is coming to Lawrence on July 28 that will benefit a school garden project that began at West Middle School three years ago.

Since then, the project has grown to include gardens at two nearby elementary schools, on city property, and at The Merc.

Not only are seven students planting and harvesting produce for school cafeterias, but they are also selling it this summer at a weekly farmers market and through a Community Supported Agriculture, or CSA, program.

So far this season, they’ve harvested 500 pounds of produce and made $1,377 in sales.

“It’s been going really well, and we’ve had a lot of produce despite the heat,” said 15-year-old Hayley Luna, a student gardener who has been involved with the project called “Growing Food, Growing Health” for two years.

On Wednesday morning, she talked about the garden after washing off potatoes that would be sold at the next day’s market.

So what else has been growing in their gardens?

Hayley rattles off a long list that includes okra, beets, herbs, strawberries, blackberries and peppers.

Hayley said the keys to their success have been watering and weeding.

She said they are lucky to have a drip irrigation system for watering everything but a few areas.

But there’s no easy way to pull weeds, and she said it’s important to keep the weeds out so they don’t take the water from the plants.

“It’s rewarding work and a lot of fun,” she said.

Hayley thinks the 5K run will raise more awareness about their project and money to help keep the gardens sustainable.

The money will be used to purchase items such as

classes, a walking program and a diabetes program.

“It’s terrific when we can take people who already are sick, but it’s even better when we can do things to prevent people from getting sick in the first place,” he said.

Angoff also touted President Barack Obama’s health care law, called the Affordable Care Act, during his visit and said HeartHEALTH land’s grant was one of the benefits of it. He said community health centers, like Heartland, have received about $37 million under the Affordable Care Act, and that money could be in jeopardy if the law is overturned.

“I can’t emphasize enough that this is a grant under the Affordable Care Act and if anything were to happen to the Affordable Care Act, this money would no longer be there,” he said.

Dr. Raul Morffi, medical director at Heartland, described the grant as a “really big deal.” He’s hoping that it will allow him to go from working one day a week at the clinic to becoming a full-time staff member.

Morffi said he worked in a Federally Qualified Health Center in Salina for three years during his residency and has seen firsthand the

JOIN THE FUN A school garden project called “Growing Food, Growing Health” is hosting its first 5K run at 7:30 a.m. July 28, at West Middle School, 2700 Harvard Road. The event will benefit gardens at West Middle School, and Sunset Hill and Hillcrest schools.

Participants will receive a T-shirt, and the top overall male and female finisher will receive a $100 gift certificate to The Merc.

The cost to participate is $25 before Saturday, and then it’s $30. To register, visit The Merc at 901 Iowa or its website at themerc.coop. Participants also can sign up on race day.

For more information, contact Lily Siebert at 843-8544 or lily@themerc.coop. She’s also seeking volunteers for the event. seeds, plants, mulch, educational supplies for students and equipment.

“I am really excited about it,” she said.

Lily Siebert, garden coordinator, said they decided to have a 5K, or 3.1-mile, event because it would connect the two aspects of healthy living: physical and nutritional. She encourages walkers and runners to participate in the event, which will start and finish at West Middle School.

“We encourage absolutely anyone to run, jog, run-walk, walk-jog or skip the course,” she said. “We will cheer as hard for the first person to cross the finish line as the last.”

Afterward, there will be post-race festivities including garden tours, live music, raffle prizes and a farmers market. There also will be a build-yourown sandwich bar that will include ingredients like honey, bananas and peanut butter.

“The T-shirt is really fun,” Siebert said. “The tagline is a race to the spinach.”

League of Women Voters, fell while descending a stairway from the loft and died.

Then, in 2008, high winds racked the 40-foottall barn, necessitating the use of tie rods and steel plates to restabilize its upper reaches. And on the night of May 12, 2010, tornadic winds toppled the barn, scattering remnants across Kill Creek Road.

Amid the wreckage was a large clock, its batteries knocked loose.

“So I know exactly when it happened,” Zimmerman said, pointing to the clock’s hands. “11:11.”

A few minutes later, Zimmerman got a call from his daughter — “Dad, barn’s gone,” she said.

Later, the daughter urged Zimmerman to use the $80,000 insurance settlement to travel around the world.

“She said, ‘Donate some money to build a shelter house for a park or something, but don’t rebuild that barn,’” he said. “But I had to. I could have lost a family member and not been much more hurt than I was from losing that barn. It had become my life.”

In a former life, Zimmerman taught science for 33 years in the De Soto school district. But a slight stroke temporarily slowed his speaking ability, forcing him to retire in 1993.

That was the year the Kansas River flooded, wiping out the longtime you-pick pumpkin patch of the Caldwell family, which farmed adjacent to the Zimmermans’ acreage in the bottoms. The Caldwells decided to get out of the business after that. So in 1994, Zimmerman began raising pumpkins in the bottoms and selling them at his more high-profile Kill Creek Farm.

A few years later, Zimmerman visited the Ernest Waitzmann farm near Gardner to ask if he could purchase the family’s old barn, which he had once visited during a 4-H project tour.

“His wife answered the door and told me her husband had been wanting to get rid of it for a long time,” Zimmerman said.

“So they said I could have it.”

‘Sharing the work’ Zimmerman, who has had a love affair with barns since exploring them as a young farm boy, asked a few friends to help him reassemble It’s terrific when his acquisition because we can take people he wanted to prove that who already are sick, “sharing the work” still had its benefits.

opportunities such a designation can create. He said not only will the grant allow them to take care of more patients, but it will also allow educational opportunities for students, ranging from nurses to nutritionists.

In Salina, the clinic provided dental services, and he would like to see those added at Heartland as well.

Morffi said not only can the uninsured population benefit from the clinic, but also people who require more health care than the average person, such as people with diabetes or high blood pressure. For example, he said Heartland can provide coaches to help hold people more accountable for their behaviors by checking in with them on a weekly basis.

“It works. We see patients that probably would have just floundered in a lot of private practice clinics that I would have worked in, but the system is working for them here,” he said.

Patrols to target aggressive driving

Johnson County Sheriff’s officers and other agencies have started extra patrols monitoring aggressive driving on major highways, including Kansas Highway 10.

Master Deputy Tom Erickson said that on Wednesday deputies began looking for drivers engaged in offenses that can be dangerous to others, such as speeding, excessive lane changes, improper passing and tailgating.

He said that aggressive driving is inherently dangerous, especially on heavily traveled roads, and that it can lead to road rage and other physical altercations.

Officers will also strictly enforce drunken driving, and seat belt and helmet laws, Erickson said.

A state grant is providing funding for overtime to have extra officers on special patrols in the next week.

THE SUNFLOWER ARTFEST at Kill Creek Farm this weekend will feature the work of 21 area artists. of side benefits: incredible meals prepared for the helpers by farm wives trying to outdo each other and camaraderie among the men.

In the same spirit, Zimmerman and his barnraising helpers bonded “like a bunch of old kids playing with really big Lincoln logs,” he said. And when they were done, his cost for reassembling the 58-foot by 36-foot structure stood at only about $50,000.

Replacing the landmark, however, will cost $350,000 because it must be built according to public-use codes and will include an addition to house handicapped-accessible bathrooms and kitchen facilities.

To help with the project, a nonprofit organization called The Barn at Kill Creek Farm Association was formed last year to raise funds for, own and operate the new barn. And since then, Zimmerman

has donated $100,000 and loaned another $70,000 to the cause.

In addition, a woman who came to talk to Zimmerman about his honey bees recently ended up writing a $13,000 check for siding. But that leaves a lot of funds to raise. So Zimmerman hopes the community will pitch in at the art festival.

Laughing at the idea of a

curse, he said the barn will serve as a place of learning and joyful gatherings for future generations.

“I’ve already got greatgrandchildren,” he said, “and I don’t want one of my great-great grandchildren to drive down Kill Creek Road someday and say, ‘Kill Creek Farm used to sit right there where that Walmart is.’”

LAWRENCE

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

Lawrence’s school district and its teachers union negotiated for about two and a half hours with a mediator before coming to an impasse Wednesday as neither side flinched on their salary proposals for the 2012-13 school year.

The district and its teachers remained $500 apart on their proposed salary increases.

Teachers are paid based on a SCHOOLS pay schedule that provides more money both for teachers with more education and for teachers with more years of service, up to a maximum amount.

The district’s negotiating team stuck to its offer to increase each level on the schedule by $1,000, and the union stayed behind its offer that would have increased each level by $1,500.

Kyle Hayden, assistant superintendent for business and operations, said the district received $1.4 million in new money from the state and committed all that money to its current offer for teach-

governor and state insurance commissioner, sent a letter earlier this week to governors, urging them to participate.

“Now that the Supreme Court has issued a decision, we want to work with you to achieve our ultimate shared goal of ensuring that every American has access to affordable, quality healthcare,” Sebelius said.

But several Republican governors, such as Rick Perry of Texas, have told HHS they will not participate. Republicans have said the Medicaid expansion and federal subsidies under the ACA for people to purchase insurance are unsustainable expenses.

Brownback has remained silent on the Medicaid expansion. But the governor has indicated in numerous ways his opposition to the Affordable

er raises, while also contributing $1 million to hire additional staff.

“They feel like they’ve given all they can give,” Hayden said.

David Reber, a Free State High School science teacher, is the lead negotiator for the teachers. He said Lawrence’s teacher salaries lagged behind other districts and pointed out that a onetime payment of $1,000 made to teachers last year would be going away this year.

“Their last offer would essentially be that nobody takes a pay cut,” Reber said.

The teachers and the district will now begin a fact-finding process that could last well into the school year, though the two sides could still reach an agreement at any time.

An independent factfinder would conduct a hearing and issue a nonbinding recommendation, and then the parties would reopen negotiations. If the school year begins without an agreement, teachers would work under the previous year’s salaries.

Care Act and supports its repeal.

When he was in the U.S. Senate, Brownback voted against the bill and was one of the speakers on a live video “PrayerCast” to oppose health care reform. As governor, last year, he sent back a previously approved $31.5 million federal grant to establish an insurance exchange where consumers could search for the best insurance for their needs and eligibility for subsides would be determined.

The expansion of Medicaid under the ACA would increase the number of those eligible to all non-elderly persons with incomes up to 133 percent of the federal poverty level, or $30,000 for a family of four. That would provide coverage to 151,000 Kansans who are not insured now, according to the Kansas Health Institute.

Both parties block quick votes on Obama tax plan

By Alan Fram Associated Press

WASHINGTON — In a day of political maneuvering, Democrats and then Republicans took turns blocking a quick Senate vote on President Barack Obama’s proposal to extend expiring tax cuts for a year on everyone but the highestearning Americans.

W i t h each side trying to embarrass the other Reid on one of the election year’s foremost issues, the result was that senators won’t vote on Obama’s plan this week. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., promised they would vote on it before Congress leaves town for its August recess, despite GOP opposition to the proposal.

“We know Republicans won’t do anything that helps President Obama, even if it’s good for the economy, because their No. 1 goal is to defeat the president,” Reid said.

Republicans accused Democrats of blocking the vote because they were afraid of supporting a measure that would in effect boost taxes on highearning business owners at a time when the country is McConnell thirsting for jobs.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said he would agree to arrange for votes “just as soon as the majority leader produces a bill to show us what tax increases they have in mind.”

The moves came just two days after Obama urged Congress to vote on

his proposal. The president would exclude families earning over $250,000 a year from the renewed tax cuts, saying they should contribute to deficit reduction.

Without action by lawmakers, wide-ranging tax cuts enacted a decade ago under President George W. Bush will expire on New Year’s Day, which economists say would be a blow to the already weak economy.

The back and forth put the Senate on track to voting today or Friday on a Democratic bill cutting taxes for businesses that hire workers, grant raises or make major investments in equipment. It will also vote on a House-passed GOP version that grants tax deductions to all companies with fewer than 500 employees.

Both measures seem destined for certain defeat.

STEVE NIEDBALSKI SHOWS his drought- and heat-stricken corn while chopping it down for feed Wednesday, in Nashville, Ill. Farmers in parts of the Midwest are dealing with the worst drought in nearly 25 years.

“Genetics are much better,” he said. “Corn five years ago would never have lasted this long.”

Corn production has been improving steadily for decades, the result of scientific advances going back to the introduction of the first commercial hybrid in 1923. Genetic engineering accelerated the process in recent years and allowed the development of some strains that borrow DNA from other species for pest resistance.

Corn farmers expected this to be a record year when they planted, sowing 96.4 million acres, the most since 1937. The U.S. Department of Agriculture predicted they would get 166 bushels per acre.

New plant varieties help limit corn losses in Midwest drought

By David Pitt

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

WICHITA — More Kansas growers are cutting down their corn crops for silage to feed livestock as they struggle to salvage what they can from parched fields hard hit by another season of drought and heat.

Jere White, executive director of the Kansas Corn Growers Association, said Wednesday it is premature to get a handle yet on how much of the state’s corn crop is going into silage this year, but says quite a bit of it is being cut. He says that is not a bad option under the circumstances.

The Kansas Agricultural Statistics Service reported this week that 43 percent of the state’s corn crop is in poor to very poor condition.

White says he was not totally surprised by that estimate, but says it is “a staggering prediction.” tions of the Corn Belt, the USDA on Wednesday revised that estimate, saying it now expects farmers to average just 146 bushels per acre this year.

WICHITA — Kansas farmers put 396 million bushels of winter wheat in the bin during what has been the earliest Kansas harvest on record, a report released Wednesday shows.

“It is better than we thought it was going to be when harvest started,” said Bill Spiegel, spokesman for the industry group Kansas Wheat.

The Kansas Agricultural Statistics Service reported that this harvest is 43 percent larger than last year’s drought-stricken crop. It is also up 2 percent from last month’s forecast.

“We had some pretty rough weather from May 1 through harvest, so this is a good number — 396 million bushels is up pretty dramatically over last year, as the numbers say. We are pretty pleased with that crop,” Spiegel said.

The monthly crop production forecast is based on conditions as of July 1.

By that time, the harvest was 99 percent complete. It was in full swing by the first week of June, making this the earliest one on record.

Hot, windy conditions led to crops maturing two to three weeks ahead of normal.

The average yields were 44 bushels per acre, far better than the 35 bushels per acre Kansas farmers averaged a year ago.

This year’s crop was cut from 9 million acres, making it the largest area harvested in Kansas since 2006, KASS said.

That number particularly pleased Spiegel, who hailed it as a “big milestone” because for years Kansas farmers have been planting fewer and fewer acres of wheat.

Last fall, some 9.6 million acres of winter wheat were planted in the state, although not all made it to harvest, as recurring drought and sporadic hail took their toll.

Romney faces NAACP, booed for hitting ‘Obamacare’

By Kasie Hunt Associated Press

HOUSTON — Unflinching before a skeptical NAACP crowd, Mitt Romney declared Wednesday he’d do more for African-Americans than Barack Obama, the nation’s first black president. He drew jeers when he lambasted the Democrat’s policies.

“If you want a president who will make things better in the AfricanAmerican community, Romney you are looking at him,” Romney told the group’s annual convention. Pausing as some in the crowd heckled, he added, “You take a look!”

“For real?” yelled someone in the crowd.

The reception was occasionally rocky though generally polite as the Republican presidential candidate sought to woo a Democratic bloc that voted heavily for Obama four years ago and is certain to do so again. Romney was booed when he vowed to repeal “Obamacare,” the Democrat’s signature health care measure, and the crowd interrupted him when he accused Obama of failing to spark a more robust economic recovery.

“I know the president has said he will do those things. But he has not. He cannot. He will not,” Romney said as the crowd’s murmurs turned to groans.

At other points, Romney earned scattered clapping for his promises to create

BRIEFLY Paterno, in letter, defended program STATE COLLEGE, PA. — Joe Paterno defended his football program’s integrity in a 7-month-old letter released Wednesday, a day ahead of a report that could forever mar his legacy.

In the letter, written shortly before his death and confirmed as legitimate by his family, Paterno rejected the notion that Jerry Sandusky’s sexual abuse of boys amounted to a “football scandal” or in any way tarnished the accomplishments of his players or Penn State’s reputation as a whole.

The results of Penn State’s internal investigation into the Sandusky scandal are set to be released today in a report that should answer many of the troubling questions swirling around one of the worst scandals in sports history.

A team led by former federal judge and FBI ex-director Louis Freeh interviewed hundreds of people to learn how the university responded to warning signs that its once-revered former assistant football coach — a man who helped Paterno win two national titles for a university that touted “success with honor” — was a serial child molester.

Syrian ambassador to Iraq defects ISTANBUL — The Syrian ambassador to Iraq has defected, denouncing President Bashar Assad in a TV statement Wednesday, becoming the most senior diplomat to abandon the regime during a bloody 16-month uprising.

Nawaf Fares, a former provincial governor, is the second prominent Syrian to break with the regime in less than a week. Brig. Gen. Manaf Tlass, an Assad confidant and son of a former defense minister, fled Syria last week, buoying Western powers and anti-regime activists, who expressed hope that other high-ranking defections would follow.

There have been thousands of defections in the past, mostly low-level army conscripts, but until now no one as senior as the general and the ambassador had fled.

jobs and improve education. In an interview with Fox News after the speech, Romney said he had expected the negative reaction to some of his comments. “I am going to give the same message to the NAACP that I give across the country, which is that Obamacare is killing jobs,” he said.

Four months before the election, Romney’s appearance at the NAACP convention was a direct, aggressive appeal for support from across the political spectrum in what polls show is a close contest. Romney doesn’t expect to win a majority of black voters — 95 percent backed Obama in 2008 — but he’s trying to show independent and swing voters that he’s willing to reach out to diverse audiences, while demonstrating that his campaign and the Republican Party he leads are inclusive.

House votes to kill health care law — again

By David Espo Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Pressing an election-year point, Republicans pushed yet another bill through the House on Wednesday to repeal the nation’s twoyear-old health care law, a maneuver that forced Democrats to choose between President Barack Obama’s signature domestic achievement and a public that is persistently skeptical of its value.

The vote was 244-185, with five Democratic defectors siding with Republicans.

By Republican count, the vote marked the 33rd time in 18 months that the tea party-infused GOP majority has tried to eliminate, defund or otherwise scale back the program — opponents scornfully call it “Obamacare” — since the GOP took control of the House.

Repeal this year by Congress is doomed, since the Democratic-controlled Senate will never agree.

By Republican count, the vote marked the 33rd time in 18 months that the tea partyinfused GOP majority has tried to eliminate, defund or otherwise scale back the program — opponents scornfully call it “Obamacare” — since the GOP took control of the House.

But Illinois Rep. Peter Roskam said before joining other Republicans in Wednesday’s House vote: “Here’s the good news. The voters get the last word in November. Stay tuned.”

Nor was the vote in the House the only act of political theater during the day as campaign concerns increasingly crowded out bipartisan attempts at law-making in the Capitol.

One day after a campaigning Obama called on Congress to pass his proposal to extend tax cuts on all but the highest wage earners, Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky offered to allow an immediate vote. “I can’t see why Democrats wouldn’t want to give him the chance” to sign the bill, he said.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., countered by blocking an immediate vote. “We’ll get to the tax issues. That way we’ll be able to talk in more detail about Governor Romney’s taxes,” he said in a reference to Democratic campaign attacks on the GOP presidential candidate’s overseas investment, the relatively low rate of income tax he is required to pay and his refusal thus far to release personal tax returns dating before 2010.

The health care debate roiled the campaign for the White House as well as Congress.

In the House, Republicans assailed the law as a job-killing threat to the economic recovery, but

Democrats said repeal would eliminate consumer protections that already have affected millions.

“The intent of the president’s health care law was to lower costs and to help create jobs. ... Instead, it is making our economy worse, driving up costs and making it harder for small businesses to hire,” said House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio. He cited a study by a business group that estimated that one of the bill’s taxes would cost up to 249,000 jobs, and a different estimate that a second tax would “put as many as 47,100 in jeopardy.”

But House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi said repeal would take away provisions that guarantee coverage for children with preexisting medical conditions, reduce prescription drug costs for some seniors, provide for protective checks for patients of all ages and ensure rebates totaling more than $1 billion this summer for policy holders.

SLT milestone The South Lawrence Trafficway may finally become a reality.

A

fter decades of debate and litigation, it appears the eastern leg of the South Lawrence Trafficway finally has cleared its last major hurdle.

On Tuesday, a three-judge panel of the federal 10th Circuit Court of Appeals issued a ruling that will allow the bypass to be built on a route just south of the existing 31st Street. Although litigation over the ecological and cultural impact of building the SLT through the wetlands area had stalled construction for many years, the court’s strongly worded opinion makes further court appeals unlikely.

Opponents could appeal the decision to either the full 10th Circuit or the U.S. Supreme Court, but representatives of the Kansas Department of Transportation say those courts aren’t likely to hear the case because the three-judge panel agreed with highway officials on every count, leaving little grounds for an appeal. Funding to build the road is in place, and KDOT officials say they plan to start construction on the six-mile, four-lane eastern leg by fall of 2013. If all goes as planned, the road could be open for traffic by fall 2016.

Barring further court action, this could be the beginning of the end for a long and expensive chapter in Lawrence and Douglas County history. An SLT ballot question that went to voters in 1990 estimated the cost of building a two-lane bypass from the Kansas Turnpike west of Lawrence to Kansas Highway 10 east of Lawrence at about $42 million. The state estimated that building a four-lane highway at that time would cost about $50.5 million. Now, KDOT officials estimate it will cost $150 million to build just the eastern leg of the SLT. The bitter battle between proponents and opponents of the SLT also has been costly to the community. Although opponents of the road will be disappointed with Tuesday’s ruling, perhaps they will draw some satisfaction from the extensive wetland mitigation and recreation measures now included in the SLT blueprint.

The community owes its thanks to local, state and federal officials who have continued to pursue plans to build this important transportation link, which will relieve traffic on 23rd Street and complete the southern loop around Lawrence. The eastern leg of the trafficway, which will have interchanges at Iowa Street, Haskell Avenue and Noria Road, will provide key access for businesses at East Hills Business Park and the former Farmland Industries property now being developed by the city. The planned addition of an interchange on 15th Street, on the SLT’s western leg, will provide an important access point to western Lawrence enterprises. The road will be a huge boon for the city’s economic development efforts.

The emotion being felt by many Lawrence leaders today may be less a celebration than a sigh of relief. It’s been a long and unpleasant chapter. Now it’s time to turn the page.

Views can change, mature “And a little child shall lead them.” — Isaiah 11:6 Jonathan Krohn is a symbol of what is wrong in American politics.

That is a not a character assessment. To whatever degree one can judge such things from a distance, he seems a decent kid — smart, likable, nerdy, a 17-year-old Georgia boy bound for New York University in the fall.

But in 2009, just before he turned 14, Krohn gave a short speech at CPAC — the Conservative Political Action Conference — video of which went viral and made him a star. Preternaturally poised for an adolescent — or for anybody, come to think of it — he outlined his four “principles” of conservatism. Conservatives fell in love.

Someone in the audience actually ululated with joy. He was interviewed on Fox “News.”

Newt Gingrich blurbed his selfpublished book.

Three years later, conservatives hate him. “Douche” and “vacuous freak” are among the more printable things they are calling him in online forums.

Krohn’s sin? He changed his mind. He now embraces marriage equality and health-care reform, among other apostasies of conservatism. The news broke a few days ago in an interview with Politico. Conservatism, it seems, was just a phase he was going through. Not that Krohn now considers himself a liberal. No, he rejects the very idea that we must be defined by political ideology.

Good for him.

Here is a newsflash for those bemoaning Krohn’s defection: kids change, they try on different identities.

Leonard Pitts Jr.

“

lpitts@miamiherald.com

The plain truth is that neither liberalism nor conservatism owns a monopoly on good ideas — or bad ones.”

Conservatism was simply Krohn’s version of Goth attire or Bieber fever. Given that he is still a kid, he may have some entirely new passion six months from now.

The fact that so many on the political right had such faith in the utterances of a child, the fact that they feel so profoundly betrayed now, suggests the degree to which our perception of, and relationship to, political ideology has changed in the years since Ronald Reagan rode off into the sunset. Back then, ideology was something that guided you. Now, it is something that defines you, a thing you are (like your race or religion), as opposed to a thing you merely support.

It is there in the sweeping statements of conservatives’ native moral, intellectual and even physical superiority (Rush Limbaugh believes conservative women are better looking than others). There in the brutish dismissal of competing views (“Liberalism is a mental disorder” writes Michael Savage). There in the brazen willingness to alter

history that contradicts their claim to supremacy (conservatives started the Civil Rights Movement, says Glenn Beck).

To reject conservatism, then, is not simply to change your mind, exercising your God-given right to reconsider or dissent. No, it is to commit heresy, blasphemy and apostasy, to abandon the one truth faith, to become a sellout, an Uncle Tom, an Oreo. The right has come to embrace a kind of ideological McCarthyism stultifying of and antithetical to independent thought and intellectual rigor.

Small wonder a steady trickle of true believers has come to question and even abandon true belief. As in a conservative federal judge, appointed by Reagan, who recently called the conservative GOP “goofy” and a “crowd of lunatics.”

The plain truth is that neither liberalism nor conservatism owns a monopoly on good ideas — or bad ones.

Smarter people in a healthier nation would realize this and do as Krohn has done, climb out of the political boxes, give themselves permission to embrace an idea based not on ideology, but on whether it is right and whether it will work.

In thinking otherwise, in believing there was something inherently holy or true about conservatism, Krohn was just going through an adolescent phase. Apparently he’s grown out of it.

That’s more than some of us can say.

City choices To the editor: When my children were young they looked forward to the arrival of the Sears Christmas “Wish Book.” Each child liked to ponder and ponder over the toy or toys they most wanted that year for Christmas. As a large family, our funds were limited so they knew they couldn’t have all they would like to have.

As these are tough economic times for so many people — our city, county, etc., included — it would seem to much of the population of Lawrence that the expenditure for a new recreation center should be on a wish list. It makes much more sense to address items like public safety and helping those in need.

Let’s call on our city officials to do all they can to continue to make Lawrence a place where people, rich and poor, know they are cared for and about.

Author of life To the editor: A recent Journal-World article said that the discovery of the “God particle” will help to explain how the universe began and how its most elemental pieces fit together.

I am not a physicist, but I do know that looking for fundamental truth about the origin of life in a subatomic particle will be as elusive as trying to discover the fountain of youth.

The Bible states very simply in Genesis 2:7, “then the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature.” In John 14:6, Jesus said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me; also, in John 10:10 Jesus said, “I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.”

Finally, it is said of Jesus in Colossians 1:15-16, “He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities — all things were created through him and for him.” If you anyone wants to discover the author of life, discover Jesus! If anyone wants to understand the origin of the universe, look to the One who spoke it into existence.

Spin won’t alter jobless numbers President Obama’s attempt to spin the latest discouraging unemployment numbers as “a step in the right direction” is like telling passengers aboard the Titanic to ignore the sinking vessel and listen to the live music.

A Wall Street Journal analysis of the June unemployment figures offers little comfort, nor does it produce confidence that the economy will improve before the election.

“The U.S. unemployment rate was unchanged at 8.2 percent in June,” the Journal reports, “but a broader measure rose to 14.9 percent as the ranks of the underemployed grew. ... The reason the rate didn’t decline was that while the number of employed increased, so did the labor force by a larger 189,000 people.”

The broader unemployment rate includes temporary and part-time workers who would prefer a full-time job, as well as people who want to work but have given up looking for jobs. The president’s policies, which appear to have stifled economic growth, continue to contribute to the dismal jobs outcome.

Figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics should cause headaches for the Obama re-election team and an op-

portunity for Mitt Romney to offer a better path. Hispanic and Latino unemployment remained essentially unchanged at 11.0 percent. African-American unemployment rose by 184,000 to 14.4 percent, making one wonder why so many black voters continue to support a president who is doing them little good. The number of unemployed women has increased by 780,000 since President Obama took office. The unemployment rate among white men and women remained at 7.4 percent, but whites don’t seem to figure much into Obama’s re-election strategy.

June marked the 41st consecutive month in which the unemployment rate has been above 8 percent, the longest streak at such a high level since the Great Depression.

President Obama promised that if Congress passed his stimulus plan, unemployment

would be around 5.6 percent by now. In 1992, when Bill Clinton became president, the unemployment rate was 7.5 percent. In October 2008, under George Bush, the unemployment rate was 6.5 percent.

Here’s more from an analysis by James Pethokoukis of The American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research, a conservative think tank: “The average duration of unemployment ticked up to 39.9 weeks. ... Job growth during the threeyear Obama recovery has averaged just 75,000 a month for a total of 2.7 million.” He contrasts this with the first three years of the Reagan recovery when “job growth averaged 273,000 a month for a total of 9.8 million.”

Pethokoukis adds, “If you adjust for the larger U.S. population today, the Reagan recovery averaged 360,000 jobs a month for a three-year total of 13 million jobs.”

If Obamacare is not repealed and replaced by a Republican Congress and a President Romney, its sharp tax and spending increases will lead, among other things, to employers hiring even fewer people and laying off the workers they have. There is no healthy economic future if we continue along this line.

But more than a change of administrations is needed.

We also must change the way many of us think about the proper role of government, which functions best when it’s limited. When people are not limited by government, they do better for themselves and the nation. Why then do so many turn to government when it consistently fails to perform better than the private sector in most categories?

Mitt Romney should be hammering on this theme and not let the Obama campaign pound him as an out of touch, jet-skiing, rich guy.

This election is, or ought to be, about whether the country can stand another four years of incompetent, overspending, overtaxing government, or whether it should return to the safe harbor of living within our means and doing more for ourselves.

Spinning numbers won’t cure an ailing economy anymore than wishful thinking will improve the condition of a dying man. This administration has put America on a path to socialism. It’s for Romney to make the case that the administration’s “medicine” is actually killing us.

KANSAS FOOTBALL Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Withey working on shot at NBA OLATHE — Google “David Stern” and “smug” and 238,000 results pop up in 0.27 seconds. That’s the price the NBA commissioner pays for all that exposure he gets announcing the firstround draft choices and for being, well, smug.

When Stern announced, “With the 11th pick in the 2012 NBA draft, the Portland Trail Blazers select Meyers Leonard from the University of Illinois,” my mind went instantly to Jeff Withey: Could he have gone in Withey that spot had he decided to skip his final season at Kansas? I wonder if Withey’s mind went there at that instant, too, as he watched the draft from KU coach Bill Self’s house.

“No,” Withey said after working as a counselor at Cole Aldrich’s camp in the Olathe Northwest High gymnasium. “I knew he was going to go pretty high, actually.

I’m happy with my decision.”

That’s appropriate. By returning to Kansas, Withey doesn’t have to wonder whether he’ll play. As long as he stays out of foul trouble, he’ll get 30 minutes a game, get showered with the worship of Allen Fieldhouse spectators, earn his degree and improve his game.

No telling where Withey would have been drafted, but it’s difficult to imagine he could have enjoyed next season as much in the NBA as he will playing for his school, a veteran on a team sporting eight newcomers.

“The draft was kind of a gamble,” Withey said. “Perry Jones went pretty late and Tyler Zeller. It was just a weird draft, and I’m happy I came back. I get to prove to everybody one more year that I deserve to be there, and I’m going to make the most of it.”

One way he’ll do that is by expanding his offensive repertoire, becoming more difficult to guard, extending the range on his jumper.

“It’s something I’ve been working on this whole summer,” Withey said. “That trail shot (on the break), last year, T-Rob hit it. The year before that, the twins. The year before that, Cole, so it’s definitely in our system.”

All four of those players became lottery picks, and all four were threats to score from the blocks and the perimeter by the time they left the program.

“If I can knock down that 15-footer, that definitely puts more pressure on the defense,” Withey said. “They can’t sag off and double-team the post. It’s just another threat.”

Withey had a .795 accuracy rate from the free-throw line last season, so it’s not a question of his shooting touch.

“It’s all about confidence,” he said. “Just catch the ball, and you’re not thinking twice, just shoot it. I’ve gotten a lot better in pick-up and practice. I’m definitely happy with that, and I’m going to keep on working to make it automatic.”

THE RENOVATION OF MEMORIAL STADIUM AND REMOVAL OF THE TRACK THAT SURROUNDS ITS FIELD, seen here on Wednesday, are projects many in the Kansas University football community would welcome. KU officials continue to explore their options regarding a stadium face-lift, but KU athletic director Sheahon Zenger said any plans are on hold until a new home is found for the Jayhawk track and field programs.

Zenger: Stadium changes coming ... just not for a while

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

When Kansas University athletic director Sheahon Zenger someday decides to give Memorial Stadium a makeover, it won’t be at the request of new football coach Charlie Weis.

Although he has yet to coach a game in the place, Weis recently offered a positive review of his new home stadium.

“I mean, sure, would you like to have suites on the other side and take the track out and sink the field a little bit more and have the stands closer to the field? Sure. Great,” Weis said. “That would be wonderful. But I have no complaints with this place.”

Neither do the dozens of people who have come through his office since he took over last December. Although Weis can see what Memorial Stadium could one day become, he said he was happy to leave the daydreaming to

KANSAS ATHLETIC DIRECTOR SHEAHON ZENGER SAYS any future renovations to Memorial Stadium will honor the history and tradition of “one of the true stadiums left in the Midwest.” the fans and would gladly live with the picture-perfect view from his corner office at the Anderson Family Strength and Conditioning Center.

“People love this view,” said Weis, from a story above the field, looking out from the

southwest corner of the venue. “They love what the stadium looks like from this office.

There isn’t one person who’s come in here who hasn’t said, ‘That’s awesome.’ I’m talking recruits, their parents, everyone. So when everyone else is

complaining about the place, everyone that walks in here says, ‘God, what a view. What a place.’”

That includes Zenger, who, believe it or not, is still just in his second year on the job.

During his first 18 months in town, Zenger has hired and fired a few coaches, successfully helped navigate KU through the uneasy waters of conference realignment and done everything in his power to change the way KU athletics is viewed, both by those inside the walls and the even larger faction of people on the outside.

It’s tasks such as those that forced Zenger to push renovations — at nearly all of KU’s facilities — to the back burner, but that does not mean stadium plans have been forgotten.

“We will do something very special with Memorial Stadium,” Zenger said. “But we want to make sure we Please see STADIUM, page 3B

All-Star experience a home run for city duo

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

A’Liyah Rogers, a member of the softball and basketball teams at Free State High, has spent loads of time playing in front of crowds. On Monday, however, just the idea of playing catch seemed a little intimidating.

Even though Rogers was on the field for the All-Star Home Run Derby, Monday at Kauffman Stadium, in Kansas City, Mo., the Firebirds senior didn’t mind sitting off to the side and watching instead of being a subject of the action.

“I probably would’ve been real nervous,” Rogers said of the prospect of throwing or hitting at the home of the Kansas City Royals, with thousands of fans in the stands and even more people watching on ESPN. That didn’t mean Rogers and Bryce Page, a recent Please see WITHEY, page 3B graduate of Free State, didn’t

thoroughly get a kick out of being a part of the festivities, though. The two represented the Boys & Girls Club of Lawrence at the Home Run Derby, where youngsters from metro area clubs were paired with one of the eight derby participants. After taking in MLB All-Star FanFest Monday afternoon, the clubbers attended a news conference, where Rogers found out she would be teamed with the Colorado Rockies’ Carlos Gonzalez, while Page was paired with Carlos Beltran of the St. Louis Cardinals.

Though Rogers was more familiar with the Detroit Ti-

gers’ Prince Fielder and the New York Yankees’ Robinson Cano, she quickly became a Gonzalez fan. The Rockies outfielder gave Rogers his cap, which she proudly wore as she rooted him on later that night.

“It was kind of a bummer that he got kicked off after the first round,” Rogers said, after Gonzalez’s four home runs weren’t enough to advance, “but it was cool.”

Page, who wore a Cardinals cap from Beltran, had a little more luck with the St. Louis all-star, who knocked out 12 before being eliminated in the second round. But neither of the Lawrence fans got to watch their MLB partner in the finals, where Fielder (28 total homers in three rounds) beat the Toronto Blue Jays’ Jose Bautista, 12-7. So the Boys & Girls Club of Lawrence missed out on a $50,000 donation from State Farm.

Allen, Lewis sign Miami contracts The Associated Press

The Miami Heat got two more shooters. The Orlando Magic, at least for now, are keeping their center.

Several deals were completed Wednesday, and another one was put on hold on the first day contracts could be signed in the NBA. Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis inked their deals with the NBA champions, who will rely on their perimeter accuracy to create more space on the floor for LeBron James and Dwyane Wade.

The Spurs announced Tim Duncan was staying in San Antonio, and the Knicks completed a sign-and-trade to bring Marcus Camby to New York. But there’s no deal for the best big

man of them all in the NBA right now.

The Magic can’t find an agreement they like for All-Star center Dwight Howard, who has asked for a trade to Brooklyn.

The Magic have tried to accommodate, only to find nothing from the Nets to fit their desires. “We’ve had discussions with Brooklyn, we’ve had discussions with a host of different teams about a host of different issues.

And the answer is, yes, we’re still talking to them,� Magic general manager Rob Hennigan said. “We’re still looking to do whatever it is that puts us in the best position from a sustainability standpoint, (and) from a strategic standpoint. “... Currently as they stand I think the parameters that we’ve talked about are a little bit in a

stationary position. And currently as it’s constructed I’m not sure there’s really anything to discuss.�

Free agency opened July 1, and teams were able to begin signing players at 11:01 p.m.

CDT Tuesday. Deron Williams got a quick start, signing his five-year, $98 million extension with the Nets while in Las Vegas for the U.S. Olympic team’s training camp right after the window opened.

Even though he hasn’t been able to get Howard, Nets general manager Billy King kept Williams, traded for All-Star guard Joe Johnson, kept starting forward Gerald Wallace and center Brook Lopez.

Lopez agreed to a contract extension with the Nets.

By Jim Litke Associated Press Sports Columnist

One league has more money to throw around, better hitters, better pitchers, better teams and a nearly decade-long streak of dominance in interleague play.

The other just won the AllStar game for the third year in a row. So much for inferiority complexes. “You’ve got to tip your hat to the National League again,�

American League manager Ron Washington said.

He’s just hoping Tuesday night’s 8-0 beating wasn’t another omen. The NL wins in the 2010 and 2011 Midsummer Classics locked up home-field advantage in the World Series for the Giants and Cardinals.

Both went on to beat Washington’s Texas Rangers in the fall. “They came out, swung the bats, and once they got the lead, started bringing those arms in ...� Washington added glumly, “and they got the job done.�

With hindsight it’s a lot easier to argue why one team of millionaires appeared more motivated than the other in an exhibition game only a few players on either side were wild about attending.

The four San Francisco starters who played important roles in helping the NL crack the game open early arrived in Kansas City a few days ago trailed by echoes their fans had stuffed the ballot box — which they apparently had. If that bothered Pablo Sandoval or Melky Cabrera, neither let on.

Giants catcher Buster Posey arrived as the NL’s all-time leading vote-getter and tried not to act embarrassed. Right-hander Matt Cain, whose 10 first-half wins included a perfect game and made him a plenty legitimate choice to start, had to dodge questions about why NL manager Tony La Russa chose him over the Mets’ R.A. Dickey.

One glance at the steadily declining TV ratings makes you wonder how much the fans really want to see. Last year’s game in Phoenix was the lowest-rated ever, continuing a trend Commissioner Bud Selig hoped to avert by putting home-field advantage in the World Series at stake.

Then again, this one had more appeal than a few recent games. Familiar faces like Derek Jeter and Chipper Jones, at 40 playing in his eighth and final All-Star game, mingled with the fresh ones belonging to the next generation of stars, kids like Bryce Harper and Mike Trout. Fox showcased new hire Erin Andrews and trotted out a promotional campaign reminding us of the game’s old-time virtues: “When we see the boys of summer actually be boys.�

That may have been true about a few too many of the guys on the American League bench, at least for this one night.

A CYCLING FAN CARRIES A “NO DOPING’ SIGN AS BRADLEY WIGGINS, LEFT, passes with the pack through the village of Corlier on Wednesday during the 10th stage of the Tour de France.

French rider claims Tour de France 10th stage BELLEGARDE-SUR-VALSERINE, FRANCE — Thomas Voeckler nearly opted out of the Tour de France weeks ago because of an injured knee.

Two days before the start, he was pained even more over allegations of doping by his French team.

On Wednesday, the crowd-pleasing Frenchman gave his response — by winning the 10th stage.

An in-your-face, trash-talking atmosphere dominated as riders entered the Alps on Wednesday, with Bradley Wiggins retaining the yellow jersey by squashing attacks by rivals — one of whom complained that the Briton wasn’t being respectful.

The mood was decidedly sour before the 120.9-mile ride began along three hard climbs, Voeckler after Tuesday’s rest day was marred by an arrest by French police of a Cofidis team rider over a Marseille doping probe.

Doping cases past and present have cast a shadow over this Tour.

Voeckler, too, was burdened by the issue of doping. Two days before the Tour start, a French newspaper brought to light a previously unknown probe of his Europcar team on allegations of improper use of a controlled corticoid by its riders during last year’s Tour — a claim the team vigorously denies.

Myers finished with a pair of hits for his second impressive All-Star showing in four days.

The 21-year-old outfielder had three RBIs on Sunday in the Futures Game in Kansas City, a showcase for top prospects during Major League Baseball’s All-Star festivities.

Myers was named Star of Stars for the Pacific Coast League, which snapped a three-game losing streak in the Triple-A All-Star game. The PCL has won seven of the 15 games played under the interleague format.

Source: Saints, Brees apart NEW ORLEANS — A person familiar with contract negotiations between the Saints and Drew Brees says the two sides remain more than $10 million apart in guaranteed money.

The person spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity Wednesday because the negotiations are ongoing and neither side has publicly discussed financial details of the talks, which have lasted for months. Both Brees and the Saints have proposed five-year contracts worth about $100 million. The Saints are offering an average pay of $19.25 million, while Brees is seeking closer to $20.5 million a year.

K.C.’s ‘Our Time’ turns to ‘next time’ Withey

KANSAS CITY FIRST BASEMAN ERIC HOSMER (35) AND THIRD BASEMAN MIKE MOUSTAKAS (8) STAND TOGETHER during a game against the St. Louis Cardinals on June 23 at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. firmly entrenched with the big league club. Young catcher Salvador Perez is back from a knee injury that sidelined him most of the first half of the season.

Outfielder Lorenzo Cain is poised to return from his own injury woes.

Shortstop Alcides Escobar had an All-Star-caliber first half, and designated hitter Billy Butler was chosen to his first Midsummer Classic — the game played at Kauffman Stadium, no less — a fitting reward for an excellent stretch by one of the game’s best pure hitters.

The problem is that every achievement has been tempered by disappointment.

Star closer Joakim Soria needed Tommy John surgery in spring training, and promising left-hander Danny Duffy joined him early in the season. Luke Hochevar has only managed to tease fans with solid starts on a maddeningly irregular basis, and Jonathan Sanchez has been a flop since Royals general manager Dayton Moore traded Melky Cabrera to the Giants for him.

Still, it was a night to be starstruck and speechless for Page, who loves baseball and has played at the American Legion level.

He couldn’t believe he got close enough to see the stitching on the jerseys of some of his favorite players, such as Boston Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz and Texas Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton.

The best part of the evening, Rogers said, was being on top of the action — the club members had seats on the field — and getting to interact with

said. “It’s up to the Royals front office. Whatever they want me to do, I’ll do.

I have confidence in them to make the right decisions.”

Hall of Famer George Brett, whose opinion is still taken as gospel in Kansas City, lavished praise on the next wave of Royals prospects. Brett managed the U.S. team in the Futures Game, and made it clear that he wanted to give Odorizzi and Myers an opportunity to shine.

“Hosmer and Moustakas came with a lot of fanfare,” Brett said, “and I think the same thing is going to happen with Wil Myers. They’ve been bragging about the minor league system for the last three or four years, and deservedly so. ... Dayton used to say, ‘This is the first wave. Wil Myers is the start of the second wave.’ Hopefully there’s a third wave.’”

“Hope” is a dangerous word in Kansas City, though. It’s been thrown around far too often for far too long, and fans have grown weary of the waiting.

Ultimately, the Royals are asking fans to be patient just one more time.

“I don’t want anybody to break my records, but I want somebody to step up to the plate and play their whole career here,” Brett said. “We’re about 15 years from knowing how good these guys are going to be.

I think we have the people in line to take over, and that’s exciting to see.”

during his third and final season of college basketball. Once defenses responded to that, he added the wrinkle of pump-faking and driving to the hoop. At 7-foot-1, Withey’s not as close to the ground, so that move won’t be as easy for him to develop, but he said he’ll try to perfect it.

Withey averaged 9 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.6 blocks (fourth in the nation) as a junior, when Robinson and guard Tyshawn Taylor were the primary scorers.

During a three-game, six-day stretch in February against Baylor, Oklahoma State and Kansas State, an angry, motivated, ultra-aggressive Withey averaged 20.3 points, 12 rebounds and 6.3 blocks, and then returned to previous levels of production. The ball will come his way more consistently this season.

“My role is going to change dramatically,” he said, “from not having to worry about scoring to being one of the top three scorers on the team, so it’s definitely going to be a fun experience. In high school, I scored 25 a game, so just getting that confidence back will be big.”

One of the nation’s most improved college basketball players last season, Withey hasn’t come close to reaching his ceiling. He’ll get closer and closer as his final season progresses, and he’ll move higher and higher in the draft.

“

Whether it be our traditions or what we’ve done competitively, and whether it be in basketball, track and field or football, we have a rich, rich legacy at the University of Kansas. And we want to be very careful as we plan for the future that we always move forward without damaging that legacy.”

— Kansas University athletic director Sheahon Zenger work, compared the current Memorial Stadium conundrum to the uncertain future that faced the Jayhawks’ basketball facility not long ago.

“I think we would all regret had we, years ago, built some sort of coliseum or arena to replace Allen Fieldhouse,” he said. “And I also think we would regret doing anything to Memorial Stadium that does not maintain the significance of that stadium’s place in the history and lore of Kansas football and our commencement ceremonies. We have a historic stadium, and anything we do to that football stadium is going to honor what I think is one of the greatest locations in the nation for a football stadium. We have one of the true stadiums left in the Midwest.”

MLB all-stars. She even gave a high-five to hometown favorite Billy Butler, the Royals designated hitter.

And although she was just a spectator, the night ended with Rogers’ feeling a little like a celebrity. She didn’t bring her phone on the field with her, but when she retrieved it after the derby, it was flooded with texts and messages, most of them wondering: “How the heck did you get out on the field?”

Erika Zimmerman, director of development for Boys & Girls Club of Lawrence, said Rogers and Page were selected for their outstanding character and interest in athletics.

For the second time this week, a member of the Kansas University football program landed on a national watch list for the annual college football awards handed out at the end of every season.

Junior punter Ron Doherty on Wednesday became one of 25 punters named to the Ray Guy A w a r d Preseason watch list, joining senior tight end Mike Ragone, Doherty who on Tuesday, was named to the Mackey Award watch list, given each year to the nation’s top tight end.

The point of contention for most includes removal of the track that surrounds Memorial Stadium’s playing surface. In order to do that, Zenger and company first need to complete the ongoing search for a new home for KU’s track programs. Until that is settled — something that seems to be drawing closer each month — nothing can or will be done to Memorial Stadium, Zenger said.

Even when that day arrives, Zenger made sure to emphasize that any changes to any of KU’s athletic facilities would be made with the idea of paying tribute to the past as a top priority.

“Our history is what makes us different at the University of Kansas,” Zenger said. “Whether it be our traditions or what we’ve done competitively, and whether it be in basketball, track and field or football, we have a rich, rich legacy at the University of Kansas. And we want to be very careful as we plan for the future that we always move forward without damaging that legacy.”

country with a 42.8-yard punting average. He had 13 punts of 50 yards or more during the 2011 season and dropped 15 of his punts inside the opponent’s 20yard line.

In his first full season as the team’s punter, Doherty earned All-Big 12 honorable mention from the Associated Press, as well as the conference’s coaches.

Doherty was listed as the team’s No. 1 punter on KU’s spring depth chart and also is in the running for KU’s starting place-kicker duties.

KU coach Charlie Weis said this summer that, regardless of how the races for playing time play out, Doherty definitely would be used in at least one of the three kicking areas — punts, kickoffs and field goals.

KU’s next depth chart is slated for release on Aug. 1, and the season opener is scheduled for Sept.

all the more, Cabrera has put together easily the best season of his career, and even homered while winning the All-Star game MVP award Tuesday night. Carlos Beltran of the St. Louis Cardinals and Jose Bautista of the Toronto Blue Jays are two more superstars who once wore the crisp white and brilliant blue of the Royals.

All those signs touting “Our Time?” They came down in a hurry this summer. The radio and TV spots came to an end, and some fans began using markers to print “NOT” on all those T-shirts.

“There will be a time where we’re going to be a force in the American League,” Butler vowed, “and where you’re going to have to talk about us a lot more. We have too much talent.”

There appears to be more on the way, too.

Slugging outfielder Wil Myers has been tearing up the minors, and gave Royals fans a taste of the future by going 2 for 4 and driving in three runs during the All-Star Futures Game on Sunday.

He’s been playing at Triple-A Omaha with starting pitcher Jake Odorizzi, who was chosen to start for the victorious U.S. team. Yordano Ventura got the start for the World team, and pitched so well that the Royals rewarded him with a promotion to Double-A Northwest Arkansas.

“I really have no idea when I’ll get here,” Myers

KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — The signs went up all over Kansas City during spring training. T-shirts were printed and doled out to fans. Radio and television spots all blared the same theme.

“Our Time.”

That was the slogan chosen by the marketing gurus for the Royals this season, a simple two-word phrase meant to signify that the future is now — that after years of suffering, decades of playoff droughts, Kansas City and its bright young prospects were ready for a breakthrough.

Instead, the Royals endured a 12-game losing streak. Lost every game during a 10-game home stand. And when things started to turn around, they finished the first half by losing three of four at lowly Minnesota, splitting with Toronto and getting swept by Detroit.

They are 37-47, nearly 10 games back in the AL Central.

In short, they’re just about where they have been each of the past 20 years.

“There are people that are going to want it now,” Royals manager Ned Yost admitted. “They have to learn the league, they have to learn the opposition, and it’s tough, but once you start to get a history against these guys, that’s when you’ll see them start to take off.”

There have been signs of that taking place, of course.

Dear Annie: My mother and I have had a poor relationship for years.

She is self-absorbed, demanding and consistently hurtful. She seems to find great amusement in upsetting me and takes every opportunity to do so.

On one occasion, I was talking to my family about an individual whom I particularly admired, and my mother interrupted me to explain that I only knew about him because “they mentioned him on a television show.” When I told her how embarrassing that was for me, she retorted, “It was a joke, and if you were offended, that’s your problem.” On another occasion, I had just completed my college degree and was quietly showing my diploma at a family gathering. My mother shouted repeatedly that she needed everyone’s attention and finally said, “My son just got his degree.” Not only

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell anniesmailbox@comcast.net

did she again embarrass me, but her behavior stole my thunder. This kind of behavior is typical of her, and I am tired of it. I have tried to discuss it with her, and she refuses to accept that she has done anything wrong. I finally decided to sever all contact. I have no desire to associate with someone who tries so hard to hurt me and make me feel small.

The problem is that the rest of my family berates me for being “mean” to her. How can I explain to them how horribly she

‘Big Brother’ pits players from the past “Big Brother” (8 p.m., CBS) returns for its 14th season. A fixture of the summer schedule since 2000, this year’s “Brother” will feature four returning participants described as “four of the most successful players of all time.” Julie Chen hosts.

The new product-placement series “Top Spot” (9 p.m., Travel) borrows liberally from the HGTV series “House Hunters,” as well as from the fairy tale of “Goldilocks and the Three Bears.”

On each “Spot,” would-be vacationers are whisked off to three sumptuous locales and shown the glories of Miami Beach, island resorts or the culture of London.

At the end of the show, the lucky players get to choose their favorite destination.

Viewers at home can play along and try to guess which resort or destination is deemed just right.

“POV” (9 p.m., PBS, check local listings) presents “Guilty Pleasures,” a look at the worldwide popularity of romance novels. We meet readers from England, Japan and India who devour bodice rippers, as well as Gill Sanderson, the author of more than 50 novels, who churns them out from his trailer park home in England’s Lake District. We also spend time with a model whose handsome face and chiseled torso has graced countless paperback book covers and whose search for a soul mate has been affected by the implicit messages of the romantic fantasy genre.

This whimsical film includes some darker overtones about lingering too long in the vicarious realm. “Pleasures” is sometimes condescending to its subjects, but never deliberately cruel.

Tonight’s other highlights

Celebrity mentors choose songs on “Duets” (7 p.m., ABC).

Friends and colleagues recall the artistry and business acumen of Walt Disney in the 2001 documentary “Walt: The Man Behind the Myth” (7 p.m., CNBC).

Kate and Charlie launch a therapeutic rivalry on “Anger Management” (8:30 p.m., FX).

Danger in the Everglades on “Burn Notice” (8 p.m., USA).

Oliver’s teen daughter witnesses a violent crime on “Rookie Blue” (9 p.m., ABC).

Louis and Mike reach an agreement on “Suits” (9 p.m., USA).

David Hasselhoff endures “The Comedy Central Roast” (8:30 p.m., Comedy Central).

A chance encounter in Miami leads to a memorable experience and a possible misunderstanding on “Louie” (9:30 p.m., FX).

BIRTHDAYS Pianist Van Cliburn is 78.

Comedian Bill Cosby is 75. Singermusician Christine McVie is 69.

Fitness guru Richard Simmons is 64. Actor Jay Thomas is 64.

Singer Walter Egan is 64. Actress Cheryl Ladd is 61. Gospel singer Sandi Patty is 56. Actress Mel Harris is 56. Olympic gold medal figure skater Kristi Yamaguchi is 41. Actor Topher Grace is 34.

treats me? — Frustrated and Alone in Indianapolis, Ind. Dear Indianapolis: We can see that your mother is difficult, but instead of cutting her off and being the family black sheep, we recommend finding a better way to deal with her. You seem very sensitive to her comments and behavior. The best way to convince her to treat you better is to respond differently. Get some counseling and work on this. If you can change the dynamic between you, you will be less resentful and hurt.

Dear Annie: My older sister, “Lilly,” is always taking my things without permission. She uses my socks, hairdryer and makeup. She does this with everyone in the family.

Her latest fixation is my iPod. Sometimes, she doesn’t return it until I demand that she give it back. I started hiding it, forcing her to ask before

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Thursday, July 12: Ride the crest of good luck this year, which will become even better next year. Eliminate what no longer works for you. If you are single, you could have quite the pick of suitors.

If you are attached, the two of you seem to enjoy a new tango, where you turn up the love temperature.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) Clearly an adjustment is made by others, but perhaps not for the reason you wanted. The change occurs because of certain financial benefits. Tonight: Treat yourself, too.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You know when it is prime time to make your move, and that time is now. Do not hesitate to push in order to get what you feel is needed. Tonight: The world is your oyster.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Even if you must maintain a low profile, you’ll gain a different perspective. In the long run, this stance is perfect, as new insights will allow you to make better choices. Tonight: You do not always need company — do you? Do your own thing.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) A goal-driven response inspires close-to-perfect action. You cannot always operate like this, but you like the results. Tonight: Where crowds can be found.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Others continue to look to you for guidance and understanding. You might want to change your M.O. as you discover what a burden you might be carrying. Tonight: Leader of the gang (again).

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

taking it. Frankly, I don’t want her to use it at all because I don’t trust her to return it. But she makes me feel so guilty that I end up giving it to her anyway. Of course, Lilly has her own iPod, but she doesn’t like to spend money on new songs.

My parents have addressed it, but nothing changes. Lilly says she means to ask permission, but either forgets or we aren’t around. Annie, I’ve had enough. What can I do? — Better To Ask Permission than Forgiveness Dear Better: Lilly needs to be “trained.”

Give her some ground rules. If she returns your iPod in a timely manner, you can trust her to borrow it again. However, if she takes it without permission or won’t give it back until you demand it, tell her it is off-limits the next time — and mean it. If you keep falling for the guilt trip, you have no one else to blame. jacquelinebigar.com

Keep reaching out for someone you really care about.

Pressure builds and forces your hand. Tonight: Choose a relaxing activity.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You cannot ignore a loved one’s request. You might not know what to say, but you need to say something, should you be speechless or undecided. Tonight: Visit over dinner.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Defer to others, especially as they are determined to have their way. Communication flows, so use your ability to help yourself and others process a problem. Tonight: Sort through invitations. Think “weekend.”

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You are tempted to plunge into whatever you do 100 percent.

You could be confused by a personal matter. Tonight: Get some exercise.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Once more, others are taken with a side of you that does not come out often: your creativity. You are known for your endurance and intellect. Tonight: Fun and games.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might be seeing a constant flow of cash leaving your checking account. If this makes you uncomfortable, you know what to do — just stop spending. Tonight: Your home is your castle.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) State your case, ask questions and loosen up about a situation. You can achieve this without standing on ceremony or changing your goals. Tonight: Yap up a storm.
