KU scientists get bang from particle discovery

School district expands student access to iPads

“With patient records going that direction, our students are going to be driven that way, too.”

Audus said faculty and staff already had iPads, and have been experimenting with how to use them. He

As physicists and other scientists around the planet heralded news of the possible discovery of a longsought subatomic particle, researchers at Kansas University are continuing to contribute to that research along with other projects at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland.

Alice Bean, a KU professor of physics, leads a team of KU researchers at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research. She said in a telephone interview from Switzerland that about 30 KU physicists — including faculty members, postdoctoral researchers, graduate students and undergraduates — are contributing to research that helped bring about the recent announcement that scientists may have located the elusive Higgs boson.

That particle that has the potential to tie together scientists’ understanding of the physical world by explaining why particles contain mass.

Bean said she and other scientists bristle when the Higgs boson is called the “God particle,” as it has “nothing to do with religion or anything else.” The research is still continuing, however, and will continue regardless of the results of the data related to the Higgs boson. Bean said the researchers from around the world at the Large Hadron

iPads have been a hot commodity over the past few years, and the Lawrence school district has jumped on board. District officials have bought 621 iPads and are looking to purchase more.

Julie Boyle, school district spokeswoman, said the iPads are used by students, teachers and administrators.

Meaghan Goodman, a speech-language pathologist for the district, used iPads last year to help her students — preschool to fifth grade — communicate.

“It’s really great because it allows you to work with the whole spectrum of speech disorders,” she said.

She also said the technology helps motivate students.

“They loved the iPad,” she said. “They loved the cool factor of it; they look forward to speech therapy. When they see me coming in to class, they are like, ‘Oh yes, she’s got the iPad.’” Lawrence schools have 11,000 students and 1,750 staff members, so a purchase of 621 iPads might appear modest. Especially compared with other Kansas school districts, such as Garden City, which recently decided to purchase and lease 2,330 iPads for all high school students and teachers.

The Lawrence school district has received help to shoulder the costs of its purchases.

Boyle said the district received a grant with Boys and Girls Club of America to purchase 235 iPads.

The Lawrence Schools Foundation, a nonprofit fundraising group, will allocate $16,838 to the Lawrence school district next year for

Bonnie Uffman, 66, wants to remain in her two-bedroom East Lawrence home for as long as she possibly can.

A village is a nonprofit organization that’s run by its members. There are typically an executive director and a board, and the members pay a fee. The village provides one-stop shopping for its members by having one number to call for services and programs, which are provided for free by volunteers or at discounted rates by vetted providers, which

“Staying at home makes life more satisfying, and it’s also more economical. It just makes sense to me in many ways,” she said.

VILLAGE MEETING

A meeting to discuss the proposed Eastside Village will be at 7 p.m. Thursday at the East Lawrence Recreation Center, 1245 E. 15th St. kind of stimulation that I think everyone wants to have after they have retired. That was kind of the germ of the idea.”

Mead said they enlisted help from Harvard University’s Business School because they figured the concept existed somewhere. But after several months of research, Harvard found nothing.

“That was really surprising,” Mead said.

So, they started by inviting neighbors to a meeting to discuss ideas.

They were hoping to have at least 50 people attend, but instead more than 100 showed up. He said it was easy to get the first 50 members, but the next 200 took a while. It also wasn’t easy finding seed money to get started, but they did.

Today, Beacon Hill Village has about 380 members and an annual budget of $460,000. The annual fee is $675 for an individual and $975 for a household. About 20 percent of its members receive subsidized memberships. Mead serves as president of the board, which has 14 members. He’s also a member and volunteer along with his wife.

There are about 75 volunteers who provide about 25 percent of the village’s services and programs for free. The other 75 percent is provided by businesses who offer a discount to village members.

“There’s always a problem in finding a plumber or an electrician or a carpenter, so we have a service to vet these kinds of services and make sure that if a member hires a plumber, that person not only has a license but a good reputation for doing good, quality work and that he’s charging fair prices,” Mead said.

He and his wife mostly use the village for taking classes, trips and socializing. He said they’ve made lasting friendships.

“We use it for Second Cup, which is kind of fun.

Every Wednesday morning at 8 o’clock, we gather at a local coffee shop and have a second cup of coffee and usually talk about politics, but we also talk about films that we’ve seen or books that we’ve read,” he said.

Mead said they have a program where college students help members in their homes with technology ranging from computers to phones. That seems to be popular.

“We wanted to be in charge and set our own agenda and be responsible for ourselves,” he said.

Barbara Bayliss, 67, joined Beacon Hill Village when she moved to the Boston neighborhood from New York City. She said the village helped her find a doctor, dentist and

In Lawrence, Uffman has formed a steering committee of seven people who have been meeting weekly since May. Their goal is to start a village — Eastside Village — for people who live east of Massachusetts Street, as well as in North Lawrence.

Ultimately, in a few years, they hope the entire city will be covered by several villages.

Uffman said it’s a cheaper alternative to living in an assisted living facility. She’s looked into them and she can’t afford most of them. So, if her health begins to fail, she will be looking at low-income housing or a nursing home, and neither is appealing.

“I don’t think there’s going to be people out there helping us. I think we need to figure out how to help ourselves,” she said.

Uffman emphasized that it’s a neighborhood initiative — not a citywide one. She said it’s about knowing your neighbors because someone down the street may be willing to help out for free, but as many people are willing to drive across town.

“It’s going to be what the community wants and what they are willing to pay for,” she said.

On Thursday, the steering committee will be hosting its first community meeting to see whether there’s even an interest in starting a village here. Willett, of Village to Village Network, will be giving a presentation during the meeting and will be available to answer questions. Organizers also will be handing out a survey.

Ellen Paulsen, 75, is serving on the steering committee and supports the village concept because she believes it would help her stay in her North Lawrence home.

She has lived there for 20 years and only knows a few of her neighbors. She believes a village would help neighbors get to know neighbors, as in rural communities, and help one another.

Paulsen said she could use help with simple tasks like changing a light bulb.

“I used to get on top of anything, but now I get dizzy when I get on a high step ladder, so this kind of a village sounds like the perfect thing for me,” she said.

— Health reporter Karrey Britt can be reached at 832-7190. Britt also is the editor of WellCommons.com, and you can follow her at Twitter.com/WellCommons.

The Winfield Fire Department says four of the injured were taken to hospitals in Winfield and Wichita. The Wichita Eagle reported that one of the injured people didn’t require hospital treatment.

The injuries included broken bones.

Fire Capt. Stuart Cassaboom says it appeared that the trunk of the tree snapped about 6 feet above the ground when a strong wind gust hit it Friday.

The sermon, however, was so disturbed by rats “that the feminine contingent in the congregation spent as much of the time shooing at the rodents as they did listening to the sermon.”

Parishioners finally began meeting in Woodman Hall, which was a dance hall on Fridays and a church on Sundays.

“Saints and sinners frequented the building without any detrimental results to either,” The News reported in 1952.

The United Presbyterian Church was built in 1906, according to the Lyons newspaper.

In 1907, the town’s 35-piece band was invited to Hutchinson to play a concert for a future president, William Howard Taft, who was then Secretary of War under President Teddy Roosevelt.

The Lyons article reported the town had the best band in their section of Kansas, attributing its founding to a grain buyer who was an old bandleader. The man wanted to develop a brass band for the town but there was no place to practice. He was able to secure the depot baggage room.

Flooding brings exodus But the little town might be best known for flooding.

Nearby Jarvis Creek flows into Cow Creek, which flows on the south side of Saxman. It caused Saxman to flood many times, including in 1929 when Cow Creek spilled its banks.

The Hutchinson News reported in a 1987 story on flooding that the July 12, 1929, flood had the entire town of Saxman, population 100, marooned on top of Arch Brown’s two-story grocery.

Other floods caused havoc, as well, including one as recent as 2007 that caused officials to evacuate about a half-dozen area residents, according to The News.

While flooding helped bring about the exodus of people, the towns’ first slip backward came in 1926 when the Saxman State Bank closed. Then the pool hall went out of business. The Leonard Mill burned down in the early 1930s, accord to the 1952 article in The News.

One by one, more businesses closed. George Pierce shut down his jewelry store. The cafe shuttered. In 1944, “hardpressed in wartime to find a manager,” the owner closed the town’s lumberyard and hardware. The grocery followed.

Convicted rapist denied parole again Convicted Lawrence serial rapist Charles Hunter was passed up for parole by the Prison Review Board, according to a Kansas Department of Corrections spokesman.

The board passed Hunter, eligible for parole in June, for one year, meaning he’ll be eligible for parole again in 2013.

Hunter was convicted of a series of rapes and home invasions that occurred in December 1978 in Lawrence. In 2010, Hunter, with assistance from the New Yorkbased Innocence Project, obtained a DNA test on

side activity; movement; body image; ingredients for meals; and exercise.

The project seeks to introduce programming for preventing and reducing childhood obesity in youths who receive housing assistance. Volunteers are needed to help with setup, face painting, accompanying youths on the walking route, and cleanup. Volunteers will need to register before the walk and can obtain a volunteer form by picking one up in person, requesting that one be emailed, or by visiting ldcha.org/ rso/default.htm. Because a background check is required, volunteers must register by Thursday. Any CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A questions can be directed to Dan Clifford at 785-331!

FROM THE COLLECTION OF PHOTOS FROM CLARICE MATHEWS is a photo of the Saxman Band. The band, according to a Lyons newspaper, played for the future president William Howard Taft in Hutchinson.

“My dad remembers they had a doctor there, a lawyer there and the jewelry store,” Renollet said.

“I have a card of a man advertising German shepherds.”

He said the grocery store was still operational when he was little, recalling taking a pony through the floodwaters to get items.

But one of the biggest demises of the town came on July 1, 1952, when Mrs. Paul Dinsmore, the postmistress, stamped 350 envelopes for stamp collectors who wanted the Saxman postmark, then closed the doors of the old state bank building, which was serving as the post office, according to The News.

She, too, moved away from Saxman.

Saxman still has a few houses, as well as the elevator and the school, which stands amid tall weeds not far from town.

The school is where Hutchinson resident Phil Mathews attended.

Mathews said he started school in 1950 — the same year the school first started serving hot lunches.

His grandmother even taught school there, Mathews said. His mother, Clarice, who wrote a history column for years for the Sterling Bulletin, reported that the Saxman school first started on Jarvis creek in 1873 then

moved to Saxman in 1905.

Mathews said the school closed in 1966.

Renollet said the Frisco pulled up its tracks in the early 1980s. The church, where he was an elder, closed in 1995.

More than 165 people attended the final service, according to The News.

On a recent summer day, Dale Hoover walked into the old Presbyterian church he purchased a handful of year ago, saying he hoped someday to fix it up.

He already has done extensive work to the outside, which includes a new roof and painting the wood siding. His wife planted roses.

“I didn’t want to see it fall down,” the 76-yearold said of the church he began attending when his family moved to town in the early 1960s.

Saxman, after all, has been home for 50 years.

It’s where his children first attended school.

Now, if he can, he wants to save the church.

“You never know what the Lord has in store for an old church,” Hoover said.

said he hoped the availability of electronic textbooks in many classes would save students some money in the end.

In the pharmacy school, some faculty members are electronically recording lectures to be viewed before class, complete with other multimedia elements compatible for iPad viewing. Ideally, the classroom sessions would be reserved for discussion of the materials, Audus said.

“It will require a little outside responsibility in preparing for class,” he said.

The technology is in use in other areas of campus, too, on a smaller scale.

Doug Ward, an associate professor of journalism, studies how people adopt and use new technologies, and has written about his experiences with the iPad in the classroom in a blog for the Chronicle of Higher Education.

The journalism dean has purchased 10 iPads for use in classes, but Ward’s graduate students said they often struggled to find out how to fit the use of devices in between their laptops and mobile phones.

INJURY ACCIDENT A man and a woman were critically injured after a motorcycle crash in the 1200 section of County Road 458 just after 4 p.m. Sunday.

Sgt. Lyle Hagenbuch, of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, said the motorcycle was westbound around a curve on County Road 458 when the driver lost control, careening into the ditch.

Hagenbuch said both were transported to Stormont-Vail Regional Health Center in Topeka, the woman by helicopter ambulance and the man via ground ambulance.

Their conditions were not known Sunday night.

“The students so far have been sort of lukewarm toward them,” Ward said. “They were actually embarrassed to take them out in public.

The iPad was sort of seen as an elite thing that you don’t really need.”

In other areas, however, Ward has found ways for the devices to add to the classroom experience. An application called iAnnotate allows him to record voice comments when grading assignments that can be affixed to PDF files and opened by anyone with a PDF reader.

For online classes, it adds a personal touch to an experience that can at times seem cold and impersonal, he said.

He can also use the application to make written comments with a stylus on the electronic files.

Douglas County firefighters and those from two neighboring counties battled a “complex” series of grassfires late Sunday afternoon along U.S. Highway 56 just northwest of Baldwin City.

Palmyra Fire Chief Randy DeMersseman said the fire was first reported around 5 p.m. at a site north of U.S. Highway 56 and east of East 1600 Road. His department, the Baldwin City Fire Department, units from Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical and rural fire department from Douglas, Franklin and Johnson counties would eventually battle three different fires in the late afternoon heat along one and a half miles of U.S. 56.

A stretch of the highway west of Baldwin City was closed to traffic for a while, and law enforcement officers rerouted traffic along county roads.

The mutual aid units were released about 9 p.m. when the only remaining flames were those from a backfire set to prevent grassfires from spreading

He said within the department, discussions continue on how to best adapt to the new technology.

in the event winds shifted or increased during the night, DeMersseman said.

One firefighter was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital for treatment from a heat-related condition, DeMersseman said.

“It was a very complex fire,” he said. “The reason we called in so much help was because of the heat and the amount of fuel out there.”

Those in vehicles passing by during the fire handed out bottled water to firefighters, and one property owner brought water, too.

“It was a group effort, and a very impressive group effort,” he said.

No structures were lost in the fire, DeMersseman said. A double-crop soybean field planted in

wheat stubble was destroyed in the easternmost part of the fire, he said. That fire spread about a quarter mile north of the highway, he said.

DeMersseman said the cause of the fires wasn’t known but added that there was plentiful fuel for grassfires in the current dry conditions.

“We have no evidence of what started the fires,” he said. “This is what could happen day or night with just the smallest fire.

“We don’t have a burn ban in the county. Everybody has been hoping we’d have significant rainfall. There’s a lot of fuel along the roadsides that just needs a little spark.

Everybody needs to be very, very careful.”

SYRIA

Red Cross declares conflict to be civil war

By Albert Aji and Frank Jordans Associated Press

DAMASCUS, SYRIA — Syria’s 16-month bloodbath crossed an important symbolic threshold Sunday as the international Red Cross formally declared the conflict a civil war, a status with implications for potential war crimes prosecutions.

The Red Cross statement came as United Nations observers gathered new details on what happened in a village where dozens were reported killed in a regime assault.

After a second visit to Tremseh on Sunday, the team said Syrian troops went door-to-door in the small farming community, checking residents’ IDs and then killing some and taking others away.

According to the U.N., the attack appeared to target army defectors and activists.

Syria denied U.N. claims that government forces had used heavy weapons such as tanks, artillery and helicopters during the attack Thursday.

FREE SYRIAN ARMY SOLDIERS RUN FOR COVER in Idlib province, northern Syria, in this citizen journalism image taken on Friday and provided by Edlib News Network, ENN. Syrian Foreign Ministry spokesman Jihad Makdissi said the violence was not a massacre — as activists and many foreign leaders have alleged — but a military operation targeting armed fighters who had taken control of the village.

“What happened wasn’t an attack on civilians,” Makdissi told reporters Sunday in Damascus.

He said 37 gunmen and two civilians were killed — a far lower death toll than the one put forward by anti-regime activists,

Report: N. Korea army chief relieved of posts SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA — Kim Jong Un’s top military official, a key mentor to North Korea’s young new leader who had served under his father, has been removed from all posts because of illness, state media said Monday.

But Ri Yong Ho had looked healthy in recent appearances, and that fed speculation among analysts that Kim purged him in an effort to put his own mark

on the regime he inherited seven months ago when Kim Jong Il died.

The decision to dismiss the 69-year-old from top military and political posts was made at a Workers’ Party meeting Sunday, according to the official Korean Central News Agency.

It was not immediately clear who would take Ri’s place, and the dispatch did not elaborate on his condition or future.

Floods in Japan kill at least 26, thousands remain cut off TOKYO (AP) — Thousands of people in southern Japan remained cut off Sunday by floods and mudslides triggered by torrential rains that have killed at least 26 people, local authorities said.

Evacuation orders issued a day earlier for a quarter of a million people were lifted in most areas Sunday as the rains subsided, allowing many people to return home.

But thousands remained cut off by landslides or fallen trees that blocked roads in mountainous areas.

More than 3,000 people were left stranded in Yame, in Fukuoka Prefecture in southwestern Japan, where roads were cut off to seven districts, the Kyodo news agency reported, citing local authorities. The Japanese military airlifted food by helicopters to stranded districts.

death toll from the torrential rains in the northern parts of the Kyushu region to 26 and six people remain missing in Kumamoto, Oita and Fukuoka prefectures, Kyodo reported.

Most of the victims were in their 70s and 80s.

In Yame, a 70-yearold man died after being caught in a landslide, while another man died in Yanagawa, also in Fukuoka, after being retrieved from a car at an irrigation channel floodgate, according to local authorities, Kyodo reported.

In Kyoto Prefecture, in western Japan, heavy rainfall of up to 3.5 inches (90 millimeters) per hour flooded around 100 houses each in Kameoka and Kyoto, Japan’s old capital, Kyodo reported.

The Japan Meteorological Agency said that the worst was over, but predicted more rain and thunderstorms in some areas through today.

some of whom estimated the dead at more than 100.

“What has been said about the use of heavy weapons is baseless,” Makdissi added.

T h e U.N. has implicated President Bashar Assad’s forces in Assad the assault. The head of the U.N. observer mission said Friday that monitors stationed near Tremseh

saw the army using heavy weaponry and attack helicopters.

The fighting was some of the latest in the uprising against Assad, which activists say has killed more than 17,000 people.

Violence continued Sunday, with more clashes reported around the capital, Damascus.

The bloodshed appeared to be escalating.

On Sunday, the International Committee of the Red Cross said it now considers the Syrian conflict a civil war, meaning international humanitarian law applies throughout the country.

Also known as the rules of war, humanitarian law grants all parties in a conflict the right to use appropriate force to achieve their aims. The Geneva-based group’s assessment is an important reference for determining how much and what type of force can be used, and it can form the basis for war crimes prosecutions, especially if civilians are attacked or detained enemies are abused or killed.

MSNBC.com joint venture dissolved

By Michael Liedtke Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO — Microsoft is pulling out of the joint venture that owned MSNBC.com, freeing the world’s largest software maker to build its own online news service.

The breakup announced late Sunday dissolves the final shreds of a 16-year marriage between Microsoft Corp. and NBC News, which is now owned by Comcast Corp. The relationship began to unwind in 2005 when Microsoft sold its stake in MSNBC’s cable TV channel to NBC. NBC is buying Microsoft’s 50 percent interest in the MSNBC website for an undisclosed amount.

MSNBC.com will be rebranded as NBCNews. com, and readers who logged into MSNBC.com late Sunday were automatically redirected to NBCNews.com.

The website will move its headquarters from Microsoft’s corporate campus in Redmond, Wash., to NBC News’ longtime home in New York.

The online divorce stemmed from the two partners’ desire to gain greater control over their digital destinies as the Internet becomes an increasingly important part of their businesses.

The inherent constraints of being locked into a joint venture sometimes handcuffed Microsoft and NBC. Microsoft, in particular, had grown frustrated by contract terms requiring it to exclusively feature MS-

NBC is buying Microsoft’s 50 percent interest in the MSNBC website for an undisclosed amount.

MSNBC.com will be rebranded as NBCNews.com.

NBC.com content on its own websites. That exasperation was exacerbated by the MSNBC cable channel’s strategy to counter Fox News Channel’s appeal to conservative viewers by tailoring its programming for an audience with a liberal viewpoint.

The strategy fed a perception that material from MSNBC’s website was politically slanted, too.

“Being limited to MSNBC.com content was problematic to us because we couldn’t have the multiple news sources and the multiple perspectives that our users were telling us that they wanted,” said Bob Visse, general manager of MSN.com.

Now that it has shed those shackles, Microsoft is preparing to launch its own news service this fall. Although he declined to provide many details about the operation, Visse said the news staff will be about the same size as the roughly 100 people who created original content for the MSNBC.com.

By hiring its own news staff to feed material to its websites, Microsoft is embracing the same strategy as the owners of two other major Internet companies, Yahoo Inc. and AOL Inc.

Clinton’s calls fall flat in Egypt political fight

By Bradley Klapper and Hamza Hendawi Associated Press

CAIRO — The head of Egypt’s military took a tough line Sunday on the Muslim Brotherhood, warning that he won’t let the fundamentalist group dominate the country, only hours after U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton urged him to work with Egypt’s elected Islamist leaders.

Clinton’s visit to Egypt underscored the difficulty Washington faces in trying to wield its influence amid the country’s stormy post-Hosni Mubarak power struggles. Protesters chanting against the U.S. — sometimes reaching several hundred — sprang up at several sites Clinton visited this weekend. On Sunday, protesters threw tomatoes, water bottles and shoes at her motorcade as she left a ceremony marking the opening of a new U.S. consulate in the Mediterranean city of Alexandria.

Islamist Mohammed Morsi, a longtime Brotherhood figure, was sworn two weeks ago as Egypt’s first democratically elected president. Led by Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi, the military handed over power to him June 30 after ruling Egypt for 16 months.

The military, however, dissolved the Brotherhood-led parliament and stripped Morsi of significant authorities in the days before his inauguration, while retaining overwhelming powers for itself, including legislative power and control of the writing of a new consti-

tution.

T h e United States is in a difficult spot when it comes to dealing with postClinton Mubarak Egypt — eager to be seen as a champion of democracy and h u m a n rights after three Morsi decades of close ties with the ousted leader despite his abysmal record in advancing either.

This has involved some uncomfortable changes, including occasional criticism of America’s longtime faithful partners in Egypt’s military as it grabs more power and words of support for Islamist parties far more skeptical of U.S. intentions in Egypt and the rest of the Middle East.

That has fueled accusations among some Egyptians who back the military or oppose Islamists that Washington is promoting the rise of the Brotherhood to power.

At the ceremony in Alexandria, Clinton denied the U.S. supports any particular party. She also called for religious tolerance and respect of minorities in the new Egypt — a major concern among the Christian minority, women and secular liberals who fear restrictions if the fundamentalist Brotherhood wields power.

Governors put off health care questions, for now

By Josh Lederman Associated Press

WILLIAMSBURG, VA. — Millions of uninsured people may have to wait until after Election Day to find out if and how they can get coverage through President Barack Obama’s health care law.

More than two weeks after the Supreme Court gave the green light to Obama’s signature legislative achievement, many governors from both parties said they haven’t decided how their states will proceed on two parts under their control: an expansion of Medicaid, expected to extend coverage to roughly 15 million low-income people, and new insurance exchanges, projected to help an additional 15 million or so purchase private insurance.

In some states, such as

Colorado, Oklahoma and Wyoming, governors said they’re crunching the numbers to determine what’s best for their residents. But in other states, including Kansas, Virginia, Nebraska and Wisconsin, Republican governors said not to expect a decision before Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney square off in November.

If Romney wins, the argument goes, he’ll work to throw out the health care overhaul, and the issue will be moot.

“I don’t think I can look the taxpayers of Virginia in the eye and say I’m going to spend a lot of your money building exchanges that four months from now I may not need,” Gov. Bob McDonnell, R-Va., said on the sidelines of the National Governors Association meeting.

Although the high court upheld the requirement

That Also left to the governors sentiment was echoed in a is what to do about the ex- list of 30 questions about

the law that the Republican Governors Association sent Obama last week.

The law picks up the entire cost of covering more people for the first three years, and then drops to 90 percent, with states covering the remaining 10 percent. It’s a great deal, proponents argue, especially compared to the current Medicaid rates, wherein Washington pays as little as half of the cost in some states.

But a handful of GOP governors attending the NGA meeting said they suspected a bait-andswitch in which states would agree to the expansion only to see Congress cut some or all of the funds, leaving governors on the hook and potentially bankrupting state budgets.

“At any whim they could just pull the money,” Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer told The Associ-

ated Press. “So yeah, I’m a little gun-shy.”

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who survived a recall election in June, said in an interview that governors were grumbling among themselves about the federal government’s track record on special education. Congress in 1975 pledged to fund 40 percent of the cost of special education, but routinely has fallen far short of that commitment.

The politics are tricky for governors weighing how to proceed. Just one-third of Americans supported the health care overhaul in Associated Press-GfK poll conducted in mid-June. But because federal tax dollars are covering the Medicaid expansion, states that opt out are essentially consigning their residents to subsidize coverage for those in other states.

U.S. plane makers teaming Behind the TV channel with Chinese firms blackouts: stalling profits

By Roxana Hegeman Associated Press

WICHITA — Walter Beech was one of America’s greatest aviation pioneers, a former World War I flyer who spent three years after the war touring the country as a barnstorming exhibition pilot. That experience spawned ideas for aircraft design, inspiration that came to fruition in 1932 when he and his wife founded Beech Aircraft Co. Today, the airplane maker that traces its roots to that iconic Kansas company is fighting for its very survival in bankruptcy court. Hawker Beechcraft — one of the linchpin companies that helped make Wichita the “Aviation Capital of the World” — is now betting its future on Chinese industrialist Shenzong Cheng and his wife, Qin Wang.

The announcement last week that Hawker Beechcraft had reached an agreement to sell its business jet and general aviation operations to Cheng’s company exemplifies emerging realities in what had been one of the last remaining strongholds of American manufacturing.

The Great Recession was hard on the industry, and Chinese firms are showing an interest in some of the beleaguered companies.

Many of them are in Wichita, where plane makers build more than half of all general aviation aircraft delivered around the world each year. It’s home not only to Hawker Beechcraft but also Cessna, Bombardier, Boeing, Spirit AeroSystems, and more than a hundred smaller aerospace suppliers.

Post-bankruptcy action Hawker Beechcraft, which filed for bankruptcy protection in May, plans to sell its civilian aircraft operations to Beijing-based Superior Aviation Beijing Co. Ltd. for $1.79 billion.

Sixty percent of Superior is owned by a private entity entirely owned by Cheng and his wife. The other 40 percent is held by an economic development company controlled by the Beijing municipal

The announcement last week that Hawker Beechcraft had reached an agreement to sell its business jet and general aviation operations to a Chinese company exemplifies emerging realities in what had been one of the last remaining strongholds of American manufacturing. The Great Recession was hard on the industry, and Chinese firms are showing an interest in some of the beleaguered companies. government.

Questions loom about what will happen to workers and facilities in Wichita. Superior says it has no plans to relocate or terminate any manufacturing facilities or product lines, but union officials say such talk has to be backed up with solid guarantees.

Most of the fears workers have stem from the fact that so much is unknown, said machinists’ union spokesman Frank Larkin.

Sales of the small and mid-size business jets made by three of Wichita’s major manufacturing facilities plummeted during the Great Recession.

More than 13,000 aircraft workers in the city have lost their jobs since the recession started in 2008.

Another blow to Wichita came earlier this year when Boeing announced it was closing its local defense plant.

Cessna contracts Meanwhile, Wichitabased Cessna Aircraft Co. said earlier this year that it foresees China becoming one of the top 10 countries for business jet ownership globally by 2025.

Cessna signed agreements in March with Aviation Industry Corp. of China, or AVIC, and the Chengdu government, saying the deal would pave the way for light and mid-size business jets, utility singleengine turboprops and single-engine piston aircraft to be manufactured and certified in China.

That deal was followed in May with another agreement Cessna signed with AVIC subsidiary China Aviation Industry General Aircraft Co. Ltd., or CAIGA, and the Shijiazhuang municipal government. The deal was a step for the final assembly, sales and customer

support for the Cessna Caravan in China for the Chinese market.

The planes would be built in Kansas and shipped to Shijiazhuang, China, to undergo final assembly before being sold in China.

CAIGA last year bought the parent company of Cirrus Aircraft in the United States. Not only did the Chinese-based firm keep its U.S. employees, but it pumped in $150 million in development costs to boost its light jet production. The plane — whose development had been slowed for years by lack of money — will be built in Cirrus’ hometown of Duluth and in Grand Forks, N.D. Analyst Cai von Rumohr of Cowen and Co. said if Superior is interested in Hawker Beechcraft’s civilian operations as a strategic investment, as it claims, then it is probably going to get into the business jet business. But he is skeptical Superior really is going to keep all manufacturing in the United States because the company would be at a cost disadvantage.

However, it’s also unlikely Superior would move its entire production line to China because it then would lose its Federal Aviation Administration production certificate, said Richard Aboulafia, an aviation analyst with Teal Group, a Fairfax, Virginia-based aerospace and defense analysis company. Ultimately Superior may just keep just some operations, such as Hawker’s parts and distribution business.

Superior is not a major aerospace player in China, and it is not clear whether its investors have the necessary connections to open up that market, he said.

LOS ANGELES — Channel blackouts such as the one that resulted from the recent spat between Viacom and DirecTV have become far more common over the past three years.

Consumers can thank the changing dynamics of the entertainment industry.

Media companies such as Viacom and Disney have become steadily more profitable since the gloom of the recession lifted in early 2010. But the cable and satellite providers that pay to carry their channels have seen profitability virtually stagnate as they fight each other for subscribers.

The squeeze has prompted distributors such as Dish and DirecTV to revolt against higher programming costs. Consumers are left in the crossfire.

DirecTV subscribers haven’t been able to view Viacom channels such as Comedy Central, MTV, Nickelodeon and VH1 since Tuesday, when the two companies failed to reach a contract agreement over content fees.

“

It’s getting to be a little bit more of a battle between life and death for these guys.”

— Barton Crockett, an analyst with Lazard Capital The companies are still negotiating, but the channel blackout for consumers has continued through the weekend.

The industry’s cost pressures mean such fights are likely to continue.

“I think this is the new normal,” says Barton Crockett, an analyst with Lazard Capital. “It’s getting to be a little bit more of a battle between life and death for these guys.”

The rising number of disputes is largely the result of the stagnant market for pay television. Simply put, there aren’t many new households being formed in the sluggish economy, and those who want to pay for TV already do. Some 101 million American households subscribe to cable or satellite service.

That’s about 87 percent of

homes, a proportion that has remained unchanged since 2009, according to Leichtman Research Group, which studies media and entertainment.

TV distributors pay media companies a few cents per channel per subscriber each month. In turn, they try to sell packages of channels for more. As costs for those channels rise, so do monthly service bills, but not always by enough to offset the increasing fees cable and satellite providers are paying to media companies. In addition, distributors spend money on special promotions to woo subscribers from competitors. As a result, some companies’ expenses are rising faster than revenue.

That has prompted cable and satellite service providers to fight back against cost increases, even when it means blacking out channels until they can eke out a better deal. Satellite TV companies like Dish and DirecTV are in an even tighter squeeze than cable companies because they can’t make up for higher costs by providing Internet or phone service.

Depot dilemma Perhaps there is a reasonable public use for the East Lawrence Amtrak depot, but the city can’t afford to take over the building until that use has been identified.

A

group of dedicated local residents has done a stellar job of sprucing up the Burlington Northern Santa Fe depot in East Lawrence and making the case for preserving the 1950s-era structure. However, from a practical standpoint, their efforts hit a major stumbling block last week when city staff and commissioners decided it would be impractical to turn the depot into a hub for the city’s bus system.

Using the depot as a transit hub would have given the city a valid reason for taking ownership of the building, the first step in seeking outside funds to improve the building. For a number of reasons, the transit hub turned out to be unworkable. Transit officials said the site wasn’t really big enough to handle the city’s large buses, and BNSF wasn’t willing to give up enough office space in the depot to accommodate the city’s transit offices.

So, it’s back to the drawing board for members of the local preservation group, Depot Redux. Carey Maynard-Moody, the leader of that group, urged the city to “get creative and smart” and not give up on efforts to preserve the building.

It’s fine for city officials to be creative in their efforts on the depot’s behalf, but, as noted, they also need to be smart. The city really can’t afford to take over the building unless it can identify some productive use for it. The only purpose the depot currently serves is as a lobby and waiting area for passengers getting on and off Amtrak’s Southwest Chief early in the morning and late at night. Unless the city finds a use that justifies expanded hours and staffing for the building, it’s hard to see how it can justify taking it over. One report estimates the building needs about $400,000 in renovations.

Even if there is a possibility of attracting grant money for some of that cost, the city can’t afford to take on that responsibility — as well as long-term maintenance duties — for a structure for which it really doesn’t have a use.

It’s easy to see why the BNSF would be willing to basically donate the depot if the city would accept responsibility for the building while allowing the railroad to continue to use it for its own operations, but that isn’t a great deal for the city. We hope the city and Depot Redux will continue to seek a way to preserve and use this notable structure, but until they do, the city can’t afford to accept ownership of the building.

U.S., Pakistan have bizarre relationship WASHINGTON — Why did it take Washington nearly eight months to apologize for the deaths of 24 Pakistani soldiers?

But you know the answer: It’s because the U.S. and Pakistan have the most neurotic, mutually destructive “friendly” relationship in the world.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton finally said the magic words in a July 3 phone call with her Pakistani counterpart: “We are sorry for the losses suffered by the Pakistani military.” A tepid apology, but enough that the Pakistanis agreed to reopen the border crossings into Afghanistan that had been closed since the Nov. 26 accidental attack.

This story is even stranger than has been reported. The Obama administration had reached a tentative decision to express regret months ago.

But it balked after it had to apologize for another agonizing mistake, the Feb. 22 accidental burning of Qurans at Bagram air base.

It would be nice if the case of the delayed apology was an unusual example of U.S.-Pakistani mistrust. But it’s unfortunately a classic illustration of what’s so odd about this relationship. The two countries talk about strategic cooperation one month and feud the next. They claim to be allies against terrorism, even as each side’s intelligence service conducts operations the other regards as hostile.

A useful bridge in this neurotic relationship was Husain

“

The two countries talk about strategic cooperation one month and feud the next. They claim to be allies against terrorism, even as each side’s intelligence service conducts operations the other regards as hostile.”

Haqqani, Pakistan’s former ambassador to Washington.

He tried to maintain dialogue across the gulf of suspicion — and also tried to represent the frail civilian government, as opposed to the overpowering Pakistani military. What did Haqqani get for his trouble?

He was fired after accusations that he was a traitor. He’s now preparing to teach this fall at Boston University, which is good for BU students but a waste for Pakistan.

When you look back at the last few years of this relationship, what’s striking is how the two countries always seem to be sulking — feeling unappreciated and ill-

used. Since an open breach doesn’t suit either side, they avoid a final rupture. But the bad feeling has hardened to something dark and dense.

For examples of how crazy this relationship can be, consider two instances when President Obama tried to convey the message — something between a plea and a demand — for better Pakistani cooperation against alQaida and the Taliban. Both times he got, basically, zilch. ! Obama sent a secret presidential letter dated Nov. 11, 2009, that stated: “We must find new and better ways to work together to disrupt (the extremists’) ability to plan attacks against targets in Pakistan, the region and beyond — including the United States — so that we can eventually destroy its networks.”

The response from President Asif Ali Zardari was likely drafted by Pakistani intelligence. “Let me right at the outset unequivocally reaffirm the resolve of the people of Pakistan to fight and uproot terrorism,” the letter began.

But it spun off into a wild allegation of an Indian-backed “proxy war ... in which neighboring intelligence agencies are using Afghan soil to perpetrate violence in Pakistan.”

Haqqani is said to have warned Islamabad that an ambivalent Pakistani response would be seen as unacceptable. The message apparently didn’t register. ! Obama met in the White

House on Oct. 20, 2010, with Pakistani army chief Ashfaq Parvez Kayani. According to one account, Obama warned that “trust does not happen overnight, but it has to happen. Otherwise we will be on a collision course.” As for the alleged threat posed

by America’s rapprochement with India, Obama said flatly: “Your intelligence is wrong. You are hearing from the president of the United States that the U.S. wants a strong, stable Pakistan.”

And what was Kayani’s response? He handed Obama a 14-page memo titled “Pakistan’s Perspective” that said in its concluding section: “Pakistan is being made a scapegoat. ... U.S. is ‘intrusive’ and ‘overbearing’ — wants to micromanage. U.S. is causing and maintaining a controlled chaos in Pakistan.

The real aim of U.S. strategy is to de-nuclearize Pakistan.”

Still, said Kayani in the memo’s final passage: “At the end of the day, we would like to be standing in the right corner of the room.”

So would America, especially as the U.S. begins the withdrawal of combat troops from Afghanistan.

So maybe we should be thankful for the bizarre behavior surrounding this month’s tepid apology. The crazy couple is patching up another quarrel.

The soap opera continues. Better that than a nasty finale.

Citizens owe America a better report

By Gene A. Budig and Alan Heaps

Dear America: Happy 236th birthday! And while we’re at it, take a bow for everything you do for us. Even after all these years, you’re still a remarkable lady.

Unfortunately, the reason we’re writing is neither to pass along happy returns nor to express appreciation. The reason is to apologize.

The fact is that we — your citizens and residents — are treating you pretty shabbily.

Since your birth, almost two and a half centuries ago, there’s been a clear arrangement. We the people vote, understand your past and present, and contribute to our communities. In return, you guard the founding principles, create prosperity and protect us from the threats of an unpredictable world.

The importance of this process — sometimes called “civic engagement” — is critical to our national fabric. It’s our collective voices that create government and business agendas, ensure accountability and preserve the ideals that underpin our society. Without this active involvement, to paraphrase Yeats, America will fall apart, the center cannot hold.

Unfortunately, we individuals have been reneging on our part of the agreement. Recently, we’ve been caught redhanded, our misdeeds exposed in two reports: “Fault Lines In Our Democracy” from the Educational Testing Service and “Guardian of Democracy” from the Campaign for the Civic Mission of Schools. Here’s some of the evidence. ! Only one-third of Americans could name all three branches of government. One-third couldn’t name any. ! On the 2010 National Assessment of Education Progress, the “nation’s report card,” only about one-quarter of our high school seniors are “proficient” in civics (e.g. they can define “melting

pot” and argue whether it applies to the United States). ! Only one in five Americans between the ages of 18 and 34 reads a newspaper. Only one in ten regularly clicks on a news Web page. ! In the areas of civ- Budig ic knowledge, only 5 percent of Americans were deemed competent in economics, 10 percent in geography, 11 percent in domestic issues, and 14 percent in foreign affairs. ! Turnout of eligible voters for the 2008 presidential election was high by our Heaps standards but still less than 60 percent. That means nearly 100 million failed to vote.

(Asked why, one-third said they were too busy/forgot, and one-quarter said they’re not interested/it won’t matter.)

When we examine these data more closely, clear patterns emerge: They’re called education and age. In 2008, here’s who voted by education level: 39 percent of high school drop outs, 68 percent of those with some college, 83 percent of those with a master’s or higher. Here’s who voted by age group: 48 percent of those 18 to 24; 63 percent of those 35 to 44; 72 percent of those 55 to 75.

So what’s the fix? Guardian of Democracy lays it out for us: “Knowledge of our system of governance and our rights and responsibilities as citizens is not passed through the gene pool. Each generation of Americans must be taught these basics. Families and parents have a key role to play, yet our schools remain the universal experience we all have to gain civic knowledge and skills.”

This solution will come as no surprise to those in our schools. In recent focus groups held by the College Board and Hart Research, students and teachers were asked about the purposes of high school. Their answer was very clear: The purpose of schooling cannot be limited to traditional academic learning. Schools must also teach citizenship, personal responsibility, lifelong learning and problem solving.

Can schools prepare students for college, train the workers of the future, create good citizens, and develop responsible individuals, all with too few and unstable resources? Possibly. But the current debates about school reform are not adequate. While talking about teachers or measuring academic performance or discussing who controls our schools is important, we must focus on one subject: what we want our students to know and be able to do. That is the only way we will produce the kinds of students, workers, and citizens we need.

In the ETS report, Robert Maynard Hutchins, the visionary former president of the University of Chicago is quoted as saying, “The death of democracy is not likely to be an assassination from ambush. It will be a slow extinction from apathy, indifference, and undernourishment.”

That comment, made in 1954, is as true today as it was more than a halfcentury ago. In the past we have overcome many serious challenges. We can do so again, but it will require that we respond with energy and commitment.

America, happy birthday once again, and we hope that next year we’ll be back with a better report.

Sincerely, Your residents and citizens — Gene Budig is a former chancellor/president of three major state universities, including Kansas University, and past president of Major League Baseball’s American League. Alan Heaps is a vice president of the College Board in New York City.

SUMMER SERIES NO. 5

Tough guys

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

KU golf mantra: no brats High school golfers might think carding low scores automatically results in earning a college scholarship, but so much more enters the equation, according to a man who makes the decisions.

“It’s all about the little things,” new Kansas University men’s golf coach Jamie Bermel said by phone from his home in Fort Collins, Colo. “We’re still a team.

How good of a team member can you be? Can you do everything from school to golf to your social life and keep them in balance?

How are you going to react when mom and dad aren’t there every day? There are so many factors you have to look at.”

Spoiled brats need not apply for the Kansas golf team.

“They don’t work out,” he said. “They just never do.”

In 20 years as a Division I head coach (five at Drake, two at Iowa State and 13 at Colorado State), Bermel has developed a keen ear for warning signs. He listed a few things he called “major turnoffs.”

“When they’re playing golf, if they tell their parents to go get them a drink,” Bermel said. “You’re telling your parents what to do?

How about asking them? If they’re telling their parents what to do, are they going to tell me what to do?”

Something tells me that wouldn’t work out too well.

“Being disrespectful out on the golf course, the language,” he said. “I know there’s a lot of pressure, but there’s no reason to be disrespectful. I’ve walked away from kids then see them four years later and they’re an All-American.”

No hint of regret in his voice. He’s not interested in having jerks represent the university that pays him.

That shrinks the recruiting pool, but it’s not as if he’s loaded his teams with a bunch of stiffs hindered by outside-in swings and take-it-back-slowly-andlunge approaches. He hasn’t been coaching guys who routinely pull putts, take two to get out of the sand, space out and hit the wrong ball (in some cases when it’s not even the same color), have more moving parts than a break-dancing octopus, swing so hard with a sand wedge they fall into the pond, whiff chips, show such poor balance they draw semicircles on the tee box with their back foot, hit the same tree twice on one hole and repeatedly make sure the golf ball stays hydrated on hot days.

OK, enough about my weekend. Back to Bermel’s career. Two of this year’s top 20 PGA Tour money winners — No. 3 Zach Johnson at Drake and No. 20 Martin Laird, a Scotsman who played at Colorado State — played for Bermel.

Johnson’s only other offer came from St. Ambrose Univeristy, an NAIA school in Davenport, Iowa. Laird chose Colorado State in favor of offers from Rice, USC and Vanderbilt. Offering Johnson, who won the John Deere Classic in a sloppy playoff Sunday, suggests Bermel can evaluate.

Landing Laird, whose name he learned from a recruiting service, proves he can sell.

Good hire.

Staff picks for Kansas enforcers J-W Staff Reports

All in all, we’re a pretty friendly group of reporters.

We enjoy our jobs, love our families and like to have a good time away from work with a number of different hobbies.

The things we do and the places we go don’t necessarily conjure up images of trou-

ble, but it’s a crazy world out there, and you never know when you might need a little help to get out of a sticky situation.

Luckily, for the next installment of our summer series, which takes a look back at some of the most memorable Jayhawks from the past, KU has had no shortage of tough guys come through Lawrence.

With that in mind, here are our lists of the top four Jayhawks we would pick to be our bodyguards in hostile territory. Whether it’s muscle, scrappiness or intimidation that’s needed get out of a tough spot, these guys surely have you covered.

Matt Tait Joe Mortensen — You’ve

heard of the saying, “If looks could kill?” Well, the former KU linebacker, who actually was one of the nicest dudes I’ve ever covered, has that down pat.

Jake Sharp — Not only is Sharp incredibly fast and strong, he’s also a little bit crazy — the good kind — which Please see TOUGH GUYS, page 3B

KU recruit Frankamp breaks foot

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Future Kansas University basketball player Conner Frankamp suffered a hairline fracture in a bone in his left foot in an AAU basketball tournament Sunday in St. Louis.

Frankamp, a 6-foot-1 senior point guard from Wichita North who plays for KC Run GMC, told the JournalWorld in a phone interview that he is expected to miss four to eight weeks of basketball. He’s going to be re-examined on Tuesday,

but at this point thinks he’ll definitely miss the rest of the summer season.

“I went up for a layup, and a kid (from Oklahoma team in third-place game) took me out,” Frankamp said. “I came down, and my foot went backwards. It’s a good time

for me to rest, but I sure will miss playing.”

Frankamp recently helped the U.S. Under 17 basketball team to a gold medal at the FIBA world championships in Lithuania.

COMMENTARY

Insanity replaces Linsanity in NYC

By Steve Popper The Record (Hackensack N.J.)

It was just Thursday afternoon that Jason Kidd sat on a makeshift stage at the Knicksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; practice facility talking about being a leader. At 39 years old, joining a team where he was anticipating helping Jeremy Lin in the backcourt, he even raved, â&#x20AC;&#x153;To have the chance to mentor a very good player, to be able to share what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned the last 18 years, is something Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been looking forward to.â&#x20AC;?

But just two days later, that plan, serenely laid out like a not-far-off retirement plan, was thrown into chaos.

First, the possibility of Lin being here was suddenly not such a certainty. You remember the words of Knicks officials â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mike Woodson announcing â&#x20AC;&#x153;absolutelyâ&#x20AC;? that Lin would return and even declared him the starter, and normally tight-lipped general manager Glen Grunwald insisted he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see a way that Lin wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be back.

Well, when the 25-game wonder renegotiated the offer sheet heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d agreed on with the Houston Rockets, signing a deal Saturday that would cripple the

Lin

Kidd

Knicks financially â&#x20AC;&#x201D; laying a massive luxury-tax hit on the budget line of Madison Square Garden chairman James Dolan â&#x20AC;&#x201D; suddenly there was a way he could wind up taking Linsanity to Houston.

But Linsanity quickly has been replaced by insanity. The mentoring program run by Kidd? Well, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s off to a rocky start since just hours after the Knicks swung a deal that will bring point guard Raymond Felton to the Garden, putting Lin on notice that there is a price ceiling on T-shirt sales, Kidd was arrested in Southampton, N.Y., on a charge of driving while intoxicated â&#x20AC;&#x201D; after crashing his car into a telephone pole.

So to recap: Lin might be gone, Felton is on his way in and Kidd is out of the hospital and facing an ugly charge.

U.S. men to test small ball vs. Brazil WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t call them Shorty.

The U.S. men are tired of hearing about their Olympic basketball teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s size problem.

Instead of being called small, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d prefer to be known as versatile, quick, athletic, or something else that recognizes their strengths and not their, uh, shortcomings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Really itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of boring to keep answering the question of what are you going to do with the bigs,â&#x20AC;? U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski said Sunday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Like, this is who we have. Why donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we talk about what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to do with what we have, than talk about what we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have?

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really understand how thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s productive. So Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m trying to dismiss that and concentrate on what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing.â&#x20AC;?

The U.S. is down to just Tyson Chandler as the lone natural center on the roster. Dwight Howard is out after back surgery, and big man options such as Chris Bosh and Blake Griffin later joined him on the sidelines.

Yes, the Americans realize that could put them at a disadvantage against the likes of Spain or Brazil, who they will face tonight in an exhibition game. But theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d also like to know what team is supposed to defend a front line of LeBron James, Kevin Durant and Carmelo Anthony? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Look, maybe Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m wrong, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think so,â&#x20AC;? USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take versatility and athleticism and speed and quickness.

That beats size all day long, because size alone canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get it done.â&#x20AC;?

If he was going to be wrong, it would seem to be against a team such as Brazil, which has loads of NBA size up front with Nene of the Washington Wizards, Clevelandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Anderson Varejao and San Antonioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tiago Splitter on the roster. The Americans then travel to Europe and play tuneup games in Barcelona against Argentina and the Spaniards, who have NBA stars Pau and Marc Gasol, and Serge Ibaka along their front line.

Brazil came closest to beating a similarly sized U.S. team two years ago at the world basketball championship, falling by two points when Leandro Barbosaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shot bounced off the rim at the buzzer.

Goodbye serenity â&#x20AC;&#x201D; hello chaos.

What could make it worse?

Well, why donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we have the players on the roster weigh in?

Practicing with the US Olympic team, Carmelo Anthony â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who has had to listen to critiques of why he, as a fivetime All-Star, would not change his game to suit the undrafted, twice-waived, three-week phenom â&#x20AC;&#x201D; was asked about the challenge of the offer sheet to Lin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not up to me,â&#x20AC;? Anthony told reporters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to the organization to say that they want to match that ridiculous contract.â&#x20AC;?

Though that might draw anger from Linâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s faithful fans, the fact is it is a ridiculous contract. The Rockets structured the deal with a $14.9 million payout in the final year of the three-year, $25.1 million offer.

Even without the luxury-tax implications â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which are significant â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that is a ludicrous amount to pay for a player who has accomplished so little. He started 25 games and even refused to come back from injury at what he described as 85 percent when Baron Davis and Iman Shump-

ert were carried off the court in the playoffs.

J.R. Smith, who signed for just $2.8 million with the Knicks for next season, told SI.com that the deal could cause a problem with his more established teammates: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Without a doubt. I think some guys take it personal, because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doing it longer and havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t received any reward for it yet. I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tough subject to touch on for a lot of guys.â&#x20AC;?

You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think that would come back to create friction if Lin struggled in New York?

He still may be back. Though rumors have flown that the Knicks wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t match the offer sheet, one person with knowledge of the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plans said that the decision would go to â&#x20AC;&#x153;the eleventh hour.â&#x20AC;? The decision is multifold: it involves not just his limited on-court performance, but the cost and the marketing potential. The Harvard economics grad knows that, too, already having trademarked Linsanity.

Well, some ambitious Knicks fan should be trademark â&#x20AC;&#x153;Insanityâ&#x20AC;? in the same lettering and colors, because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what has taken hold at the Garden.

SPECTATORS PUSH RIDERS, including Joan Horrach of Spain, left, as the cyclists climb Mur de Peguere during the 14th stage of the Tour de France on Sunday.

Wiggins retains lead in tacky Tour de France FOIX, FRANCE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Luis Leon Sanchez of Spain won the 14th stage of the Tour de France, and Bradley Wiggins kept the yellow jersey Sunday when at least 30 riders were slowed by flat tires from tacks thrown onto the road.

The tacks apparently were tossed by someone in the crowd near the summit of the final climb, about 25 miles from the finish of a route that took the three-week race into the Pyrenees. Tour officials asked police to investigate.

Defending champion Cadel Evans was among the riders whose tire was punctured. The Australian had to wait nearly two minutes before a teammate got there and gave Evans his rear wheel.

Wiggins didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t attempt to capitalize on Evansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; misfortune. He asked the main pack to slow to allow the defending champ to return to the pack.

A fierce westerly wind and occasional heavy rain proved too much for top-ranked Luke Donald (73) and Phil Mickelson (74), who finished tied for 16th at 12 under.

WHITE SOX 2, ROYALS 1

Mendoza solid, but K.C. falls KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — Luis Mendoza outpitched Chris Sale on Sunday. His offense couldn’t outscore the White Sox, though.

Chicago beat Kansas City 2-1 Sunday on the strength of Adam Dunn’s homer and Alexei Ramirez’s run-scoring double-play grounder, sending the Royals to their 10th loss in 13 games.

Mendoza gave up two runs on four hits, only one after the second inning, while striking out six and walking four in 71⁄3 innings.

Dunn hit his AL-best 28th homer in the first inning. The other run scored when third baseman Mike Moustakas made a diving stop of Ramirez’s smash grounder to start a double play with the bases loaded in the second.

“Mendoza did a great job,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “The one inning with the bases loaded, Moose really picked us up with just really tremendous defense. They were only able to get the one run, the run that beat us, but that was big.”

Sale (11-2), who is 8-0 since a May 12 loss to the Royals, gave up a season high 10 hits in eight innings, but only one run.

“Sale showed why he was an All Star, but Mendoza almost matched him,” Yost said. “He’s kept his pitch count down and he’s effectively using his

Kansas City catcher Salvador Perez is at center. breaking ball, locating with his fastball. He’s just pitching well.”

While Mendoza pitched well, he is 1-4 in his past 10 outings, the past seven of them starts.

“The first two innings I gave up two runs and tried to settle down good there,” Mendoza said. “I was trying to make my pitches. Moustakas’ play was huge to get out of it with the double play and the pop up. It gave me a lot of confidence to keep making my pitches.”

Dunn, who leads the league with 28 home runs and has homered in three straight games, drilled a 2-0 pitch from Mendoza (3-6) just inside the rightfield pole in the first inning. Dunn has 65 hits

overall this season, meaning 43 percent of them have been home runs.

“On 2-0, I was geared up for a fastball and it was a changeup,” Dunn said. “I just caught it out in front.

I don’t hit many of those line drive home runs. I could have easily hooked it foul. That was obviously a positive thing. That’s what we’ve been working on all spring to stay inside of it.”

Addison Reed, who blew a save Friday, worked a scoreless ninth for his 14th save in 16 opportunities.

The Royals avoided a shutout when Mike Moustakas, who led off the fifth with a single and advanced to second on a wild pitch, scored on Chris Getz’s single.

tioning,” added Jackson, 26, who played last year in Ukraine after playing for the Kings two seasons ago. “You’re auditioning not just for the Kings, you’re auditioning for every team in the NBA. So you have to be respectful, on the court and off the court. Just be professional whatever you’re doing.”

Jackson’s leadership skills just might land him a spot on the Kings’ roster.

“At the end of the day, everybody’s a human being (and) everybody makes mistakes,” Jackson said.

“You’ve just got to tell them. Some guys are stubborn, some guys listen.”

Of his year in Ukraine, Jackson told the Sacramento Bee: “Not going to lie — it was the hardest experience I ever had in my basketball career. But it was a great experience.

It was a challenge.”

Jackson averaged 3.2 points and 1.6 rebounds while playing a little more than eight minutes a game for the Kings in 2010-11.

With the lockout in effect, he signed with B.C. Donetsk of the Ukrainian League.

“I think the biggest thing that helped me over there is finding who I really am as a person and a basketball player,” Jackson told the Bee. “Being over there yourself for a few months,

it was hard. Having my girl come over with me helped me a lot. I was calling home every day: ‘I’m quitting, I’m quitting, I’m coming home.’

But the biggest thing I love is, I love challenges. The coach I had was always prepared, every day, and everything was full-speed.

I loved it, and the guys were in shape. I just thank the Lord I’m back home in the States.”

Recruiting: Demetrius Jackson, a 6-1 senior point guard from Marian High in Mishawaka, Ind., tells Rivals.com he plans to visit KU and Illinois in August. He’s also considering Notre Dame and Louisville.

KU and Louisville have not yet offered scholarships.

Angels hold off Yankees, 10-8 The Associated Press

Angels 10, Yankees 8 NEW YORK — Kevin Jepsen got Alex Rodriguez to pop out with the bases loaded in the ninth inning, and the Los Angeles Angels took advantage of New York’s base-running follies to beat the Yankees on Sunday.

With seemingly no lead safe recently at Yankee Stadium, Mark Teixeira hit a two-run homer off Ernesto Frieri to make it 10-7 in the ninth.

After a walk to Nick Swisher, Scott Downs relieved with a 1-0 count to Raul Ibanez. Ibanez knocked the glove off Downs and reached for an infield single. Andruw Jones struck out, Russell Martin had a fielder’s choice, and Derek Jeter walked to load the bases.

Downs then walked Curtis Granderson to make it 10-8 before Jepsen came on and retired Rodriguez for his first save since 2009, helping the Angels avoid their first three-game sweep in New York since 1995.

Dear Annie: My fiance, “Clyde,” and I have been together for three years. We have a great relationship. We have lived together for two years, and my 5-year-old considers him “Dad.” Clyde is divorced and has two daughters, 16 and 18. His marriage was destructive and abusive, yet he still goes to his exwife’s house three times a week to see his 16-yearold. Clyde and I have only one day together as a family with my son.

His kids want nothing to do with me, so they won’t come to our place.

I’ve missed out on several family events because his kids didn’t want me there.

I have asked Clyde repeatedly to stop splitting his life in two. His kids are old enough to understand that they should respect our situation even if they don’t like it. And they would benefit from seeing their father in a healthy relationship.

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell anniesmailbox@comcast.net

The ex-wife continues to be controlling and nasty. She constantly asks Clyde for favors and says negative things about me to him and his kids. He doesn’t understand why I have a problem with this or why I feel like my son and I take a back seat to his past. I have discussed seeing a counselor, but he’s resistant.

I expect Clyde to be there for his kids, but why can’t he cut the strings with his ex? I have been loving, understanding, supportive and patient, but I feel that

PBS expands its market for antiques “Antiques Roadshow” (7 p.m., PBS, check local listings) has inspired many imitations. Now, after a glut of “American Pickers,” the folks behind “Roadshow” have concocted their own spinoff, “Market Warriors” (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings).

In each episode, professional dealers and buyers scour a large, regionally famous flea market. At the end of each installment, they auction off their purchased treasures. The buyer with the most expensive booty grabs the bragging rights for that week.

This harmless summer distraction is hardly an original idea.

The notion of the auction at the end of the show was a big part of the long-running British series “Cash in the Attic.”

But “Market” does give viewers the vicarious pleasure of visiting a new American antiques market every week. First up: Adamstown, Pa., located in that state’s fabled Amish Country.

And, to add a note of whimsy, Fred Willard (“Best in Show”) narrates “Market.” Willard also hosts ABC’s “Trust Us With Your Life” on Tuesday nights.

If I have anything to quibble over, it’s the title. Why “Market Warriors”? Why turn a bit of competitive antiquing into combat? The show’s logo even includes four little stars under the title. It’s as if somebody has become the Gen. George S. Patton of yard sales.

The 2012 documentary “Birders: The Central Park Effect” (8 p.m., HBO) follows an intrepid group of urban birders from season to season as thousands of migratory birds and permanent aviary guests provide viewing opportunities in Central Park, an oasis of green in New York City’s concrete environment.

As one birder explains, his hobby offers the thrill of hunting without the need for bloodshed.

One enthusiast is novelist Jonathan Franzen, who reluctantly agreed to join a group of birders and found his life and perception of city living utterly transformed.

It was, he said, “as if the trees were hung with ornaments.”

Tonight’s other highlights

Provenza’s ex puts him in a dicey spot on “The Closer” (8 p.m., TNT).

Fanny’s finances are less than organized on “Bunheads” (8 p.m., ABC Family).

Wormholes threaten the town’s very existence on the series finale of “Eureka” (8 p.m., Syfy).

A suspect can’t face the facts on “Perception” (9 p.m., TNT).

BIRTHDAYS

International Tennis Hall of Famer Margaret Court is 70.

Violinist Pinchas Zukerman is 64.

Actor-singer Ruben Blades is 64.

Rock composer-musician Stewart Copeland is 60. Dancer Michael Flatley is 54. Actress Phoebe Cates is 49. Actor Daryl “Chill” Mitchell is 47. Actor-comedian Will Ferrell is 45. Actress Rain Pryor is 43. Actor Corey Feldman is 41. Actor Mark Indelicato is 18.

he’s taking advantage because it’s easier to disappoint me than to stand up to his ex. I make him a priority, and in return, he gives me the scraps.

— Becoming Resentful Dear Resentful: Clyde doesn’t want to risk losing the affection of his daughters, which is why he is easily manipulated by them and also by their mother. But you are right that they will not respect your relationship if he doesn’t insist on it. Get counseling, with or without him, and decide what your next step is.

Dear Annie: For most of her adult life, my older, unmarried sister was a successful executive. Several years ago, she contentedly retired.

At the age of 68, however, she is forgetting words here and there and seems a little hazy about some past events.

There is no history of Alzheimer’s in my family, but I am afraid she

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Monday, July 16, 2012: This year you swing from being introverted to extroverted. You also waver between being intellectual and highly emotional. If you are single, you certainly have the capacity to confuse someone. If you are attached, plan a special trip or event that the two of you often have spoken about.

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) You are quite diversified and energized. Your ability to focus is unusually high, which is good.

Tonight: Happily head home.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You might want to rethink a personal matter that could impact your finances. Let your creativity stretch to new limits when in a meeting or brainstorming situation. Tonight: Catch up on a pal’s news.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) You have that sparkle that convinces others to go along with your ideas. You might want to think about a situation in which you will need to take the lead. Tonight: Treat yourself well.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Step back and do some thinking. You might want to move in a new direction. Tonight: Come out of hiding. Others want to visit.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Use the daylight hours to the max. Understand what your limitations might be. Tonight: Vanish while you can!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Once more, you discover how many people depend on getting a certain reaction from you. They

might be developing dementia. She is aware of this memory issue, and it frustrates her. She always has prided herself on her intelligence and competence.

I don’t want to insult her, and I’m scared to discuss this because she gets her hackles up. My parents lived into their 90s and never had these memory issues. I think she needs to see a doctor. What do you recommend? — Concerned Dear Concerned: Being unable to come up with the right word at the moment and forgetting some past events are not unusual and do not indicate dementia, but they could indicate stress, poor diet, lack of sleep, too much going on or too little mental stimulation.

Here’s a good gauge that we’ve always liked: If you forget where the keys are, it’s normal. If you forget what the keys are for, it’s not.

jacquelinebigar.com

might not realize how demanding their needs can be. Tonight: Out among friends.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Take a chance and make that long-distance call. You are on top of your game and honoring exactly what you want. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You could be on top of a situation because of a partner who seems to catch others’ news and whimsies way before anyone else. Listen to this person’s feedback with care if you want to make strong decisions. Tonight: Let your mind wander and choose.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Others seek you out, but your hands are full with juggling people and requests. The good news is that you handle it well.

Tonight: Dinner for two.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Dive into your normal routine, yet be aware that you could be slowed down by someone you look up to. He or she could be inordinately testy. Tonight: Sort through invitations.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Tap into your innate ingenuity to find the right solution.

Someone you trust and respect might be unavailable. Tonight: Take it easy.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You might want to rethink a decision that could cause a bit of a hardship in a relationship.

You know what you want to do.

Tonight: Let your imagination rock and roll.

aise your hand if you love oinking out on crescent rolls when Thanksgiving rolls around. Yeah, me too.

Fortunately for our arteries, it’s summer. Huge meals and heavy ingredients are too much trouble for hot-weather digestion, so light grazing becomes the norm.

You can still enjoy the taste of those buttery crescent rolls without the bother (and bloat) of a full meal.

paper and roll them out until they’re approximately 10 inches square. Give yourself a little leeway; they won’t be perfect.

Cut each large square into nine smaller squares.

Drop your cheese mixture onto the squares by scant teaspoons. You can adjust the amount according to the size of the dough squares. Fold the opposite corners together, first in one direction, and then the other. Pinch the corners to seal them, and place each little packet onto your cookie sheet. You should be able to fit 18 appetizers onto one sheet.

Bake them for around 10-12 minutes, or until the pieces are a nice golden brown. They should be served hot, but you’ll probably want to let them sit on a cooling rack for a minute or two. Nobody likes losing a lip to molten cheese.

Play around with this recipe and find your favorite combination. Try chicken and apple, or turkey and pear. Maybe a nice vegetable medley is your style. Satisfy your sweet tooth with chocolate chips and diced dried apricots. Whatever you choose, have fun with it.

Enjoy!

Acupuncturist helps heal when traditional medicine stops

BY CHANSI LONG

LAWRENCE ACUPUNCTURIST GINA HALSEY sets needles in the knee of Kelli Doubledee, Topeka, during a treatment to relieve pain from muscular dystrophy on June 22.

S

ome of the worst words you’ll ever hear from a doctor: “There’s nothing we can do.”

Sally Deghand heard those words after battling breast cancer for a year and half.

She heard them after chemotherapy had flushed out her cancer, but the drugs that had healed her had left her with peripheral neuropathy. Peripheral neuropathy is a disease that can result in tingling, numbing, heightened pain and loss of control.

Chemo had left Deghand’s nerves so damaged she could not fasten buttons, could not open ketchup packets, could not grip a pencil to write her own name.

But Deghand heard those words — “there’s nothing we can do” — and said, “I want a second opinion.”

Her feet feeling as if her shoes were stuffed with gravel, Deghand searched for alternative medical treatments. Her search led her to the office of Gina Halsey, a local acupuncturist at Lawrence Medical Plaza, 1112 Medical Plaza.

“I go to Gina and feel so much better when I leave, and I have lasting results,” said Deghand.

Deghand immediately benefited from acupuncture treatments: her pain faded and her dexterity strengthened so that she could control her hands and feet again.

After a few consecutive treatments, she had recovered almost fully.

On the surface, this recovery seems miraculous. What makes it more down to earth is the frequency at which these things occur in Halsey’s office. Through acupuncture, nutritional guidance and herbology, Halsey has helped patients regain control of nerves and extremities, helped them become pregnant and enabled them to wean off of analgesics by reducing or eliminating pain.

Halsey has been an acupuncturist for 15 years. Her interest in healing and medicine started when she experienced sickness firsthand: she was diagnosed with leukemia when she was 19. Starting chemo the day she was diagnosed, Halsey tried to take control of her own healing through meditation and visualizations.

She would imagine cancer cells disintegrating and healthy cells multiplying.

“From the time I was diagnosed, I was really intrigued with healing because I knew I had a really serious illness and that I had to do whatever I could to help myself,” said Halsey.

Halsey recovered, giving credit to her

Nick Krug/Journal-World Photo

oncologists, but she remained interested in healing. This interest led her to study Chinese medicine.

In the United States, acupuncturists must attend a 4-year graduate level accredited program. Halsey attended Yo San University in California, earning a master’s degree that emphasized all 5 branches of Chinese medicine: acupuncture, herbology, massage, nutrition and qigong (pronounced chee-gong). She has completed two internships in China, studying with experts and training for more than 6,000 hours.

Halsey often works in conjunction with medical doctors. For instance, she might provide acupuncture treatments for patients with cancer, treating their side effects, but not their disease. She does a lot of work on people with asthma, inner ear or fertility problems.

Halsey has had great success repairing damaged nerves. One such case is that of Tracy Veal, of California. Veal initially became a patient while Halsey was still a student at Yo San. In 1998, Veal was in a violent car wreck that left her hobbled and disfigured. She had a cut slicing across the right side of her face, from her nose to the corner of her mouth. The injury made it so the right side of her mouth drooped lifelessly, unable to spring up and form a smile.

Veal’s Beverly Hills plastic surgeon said her only chance of smiling symmetrically was an intensive surgery involving the transfer of muscles to her face. Halsey wanted to try to do it with acupuncture.

So Halsey brought an acupuncture table to Veal’s home (Veal had a broken pelvis and could not travel). And after a series of treatments, Veal’s lip lifted.

“Gina worked on me until my smile was absolutely equal on both sides,” said Veal.

“It’s amazing that it happened at all. Not only is Gina smart — she’s an expert and knows what she’s doing — she’s very kind and intuitive about what’s going on with the body.”

When Halsey treats a patient, she culls as much information as she can about their ailment. During the treatment itself, she uses fresh needles from Japan.

The needles are not hollow like injec-

tion needles, which are meant to carry a substance; they are solid and thin, designed to slide in between the tissues.

Veal, who has been receiving acupuncture treatments for more than 15 years, doesn’t use the word pain to describe the sensation. Don’t think bee sting. Don’t think IV injection. Don’t think tetanus shot.

Think of a gentle prick, barely detectable, like a splinter slipping in unnoticed.

Yet it’s not even that painful.

“Some people don’t even notice when I put them in, and I have some people fall asleep,” said Halsey.

For Deghand, the needles are so painless she usually doesn’t notice their presence at all.

“I have never had any kind of mark on me from acupuncture,” said Deghand.

“I would recommend Gina all over the place, to anyone who’s going to listen to me talk. People who have neuropathy don’t have to live that way. I now have my feet and hands normal for the rest of my life. The effects are not temporary. They’re permanent. And it definitely works.”

Play therapy not just fun and games Sensory integration disorder helped by novel treatment

BY MEAGAN THOMAS

T

he office of Sarah Minges is filled with stuffed animals and toys. Her bookshelves are lined with sand-tray figurines and children’s books.

But for Minges’ line of work, these items aren’t for fun or decoration — they’re necessities in helping her patients.

Minges is the founder of Playful Awareness LLC, 4105 W Sixth St. She is a licensed professional counselor, a registered play therapist and specializes in play therapy, a technique that uses the integration of play and creative expression as part of the therapy process to help patients work through emotional issues.

“Play therapy is not all fun and games,” Minges said. “It allows me and clients to find a different way to resolve things and get out of their head, so to speak.”

Minges’ patients are both children and adults, and her treatments span a wide spectrum of mental health issues, but Minges is especially passionate about one specific condition: sensory integration disorder.

Sensory integration — physical therapist disorder, or SID, causes brain and nervous Audrey Welch the system to inaccurately process information.

This means the patient’s senses are not properly responding to their surroundings.

For example, if an SID patient’s auditory input is hypersensitive, it could mean that certain noises bother the patient to a point that he alters his lifestyle to avoid that specific noise. If the patient’s taste input is hypersensitive, he may avoid eating certain foods based on the texture of that food in the patient’s mouth.

“A lot of people have irritabilities or such an impairment that it makes daily life and activities extremely difficult,” Minges said.

When a patient has SID, many times Minges works with Audrey Welch, a physical therapist at Therapy-

“All around, you get a much more stable, emotionally well person who is aware of their sensory integration disorder and now knows how to treat it.”

SARA MINGES, A RELATIONSHIP THERAPIST and director of Playful Awareness, is pictured on July 9 in her Lawrence office. Minges works with ages ranging from young children up to senior citizens on dealing with issues relating to, among other things, sensory integration disorder.

Works, 1311 Wakarusa Drive.

SID is a medical condition, so a patient must receive physical therapy to treat the disorder. Play therapy helps to reinforce treatment the patient is receiving through physical therapy.

In the state of Kansas, in order to see and treat a patient for physical therapy services, the patient must have a written prescription for therapy from his or her doctor.

Technically, SID isn’t a diagnosis, so a doctor cannot send a patient to therapy for it.

However, there are other diagnoses where SID could be part of the patient’s problem. Many patients with autism, attention deficit disorder or developmental coordination disorder have underlying SID. So if the physical therapist is treating a patient for a separate disorder, the therapist can also address the SID during therapy.

“All around, you get a much more stable, emotionally well person who is aware of their sensory integration disorder and now knows how to treat it,” Welch said.

Treatment for SID includes an evaluation, finding the sensory deficits and then starting a home exercise program that integrates emphasis on certain activities during daily life.

When treating children, it can be especially difficult to create an exercise program the child will actually follow.

That’s where play therapy comes in.

“It can’t just be tell the (child) an exercise; it’s got to be all about play and fun,” Welch said.

Because SID is not an actual diagnosis, it isn’t as wellknown as other disorders. Playful Awareness and TherapyWorks are combining to raise awareness about the disorder in the community.

“People have these problems, but they don’t know there are treatments for it,” Welch said.

Together Minges and Welch are hosting a free presentation to teach parents, professionals and members of the Lawrence community about what SID is and how to treat the condition.

“Our hope is to educate not just parents, but any professionals attending so the professionals can then educate their patients,” Minges said.

The presentation is from 7 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. July 19 at TherapyWorks.

Young Farmers program helps them earn a little, grow a lot

BY GEORGIA PABST, MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL

ILWAUKEE — Even in the midst of a recent heat wave, Jeremy Rouse, 16, watered and tended to the basil, nasturtiums and tomato plants he’s growing for his customer, the Centro Café.

Jwaun Burnside, 14, planted a squash plant in his garden plot because his customer, a local resident, put in an order.

And although she acknowledges it takes a lot of patience, Dashanay Scott, 15, said she’s keeping a close eye on the lettuce seedlings as they poke out of the ground next to the tall broccoli plant that’s gaining height.

“It’s very cool that you get to observe plants growing and how they react,” she said.

The teens are part of the Young Farmers program that’s taken root at Reservoir Park in Riverwest. It’s an effort aimed at educating young people in urban gardening, but also producing a small business enterprise experience for the teens from what they harvest.

“It’s modeled after community supported agriculture,” said Nick DeMarsh, who is leading the program. “While CSAs are one community supporting another community to help bridge the urban and rural and to support farmers in exchange for fresh produce, here it’s the urban community supporting itself.”

Customers have been recruited from the neighborhood, and they donate to the program for a share of the food that the youths grow, he said. The teens get the learning experience, and it’s also an employment opportunity that offers a stipend of $50 every two weeks, he said. The teens also

get a share of the food they grow to take home for their families.

Centro Café chef A.J. Dixon said the café bought a share in the program for $300 for basil, nasturtiums and some tomatoes. The nasturtium flowers will be used for salads and the berries from the buds may be pickled, she said.

“It’s a chance for high school students to learn to do something, and I believe urban farming is incredibly important,” she said.

“The bigger the city gets, the more everyone loses touch with things like this.”

The teens meet on Wednesdays and Fridays from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. to work in the garden, but also to sit around a big shady tree and discuss issues relating to food independence, the environment, urban ecology, financial literacy and food preparation. And because they will deliver their produce on bicycles, there was a session on bicycle safety.

They also write about their gardening journey and what they learn. Blurbs from those writings will be shared with the customers of the Young Farmers, said DeMarsh.

The program started last year at Riverwest Neighborhood Association, which provided sponsorship and the financial base for the donations received, he said.

The program is now associated with Groundwork Milwaukee, he said.

Some small grants to support the program have been received to pay the students and to help subsidize some of the community members, he said. Weber’s Green House donated some plants and the Urban Ecology Center and other groups have provided support, he said.

DeMarsh recruited the teens for the program and hopes to continue to build it over the next four years as the students progress through high school.

Regaining parents’ trust after mistakes Miranda: Teens make mistakes. We’re young, and this is the time in our lives when we begin to figure out who we are and where we want to go with out lives.

This naturally includes some bumps in the road that may test or even break the trust our parents have in us. When one of these really bad incidents rears its head, teens have to try and recover with as much maturity as possible to show parents we want to earn back their trust.

Underage drinking or drug use, throwing a party without parent permission, premarital sex or any other large-scale lie damages the relationship between parent and teen. While I believe that most of this conflict can be resolved with open communication and mutual respect, building back trust can take time.

Teens, after you’ve been caught, try to walk a mile in your parent’s shoes before responding.

Remember what it feels like when your own trust is betrayed, and you’ll see why they’re mad, giving you a little more perspective on your actions.

Next, take responsibility and show remorse.

Explain what you’ve learned from this error.

Parents, once you see that your child has moved past this and shown all of the above-mentioned maturity, it’s time to move past the incident. Continuing to punish them or reminding them of this situation for years to come will only strain the relationship and cause more problems.

As much as they need to work to regain your trust, you need to work to forgive them. It can be difficult when an incident surprises you and changes your perspective about your child. But it is necessary to keep the growing-up process moving.

These incidents are uncomfortable for parents and teens but with time and effort everyone can get over them.

Dr. Wes: Ah, we call it Double Take because we don’t always see things the same way.

Just to lay the groundwork for my response, I should disclose that I personally never did anything wrong as a teen, and thus my parents’ un-

Double TAKE DR. WES CRENSHAW AND MIRANDA DAVIS dying trust was vindicated as I drove off to college, just as Miranda will do in a few short weeks.

If you believe that sweet tale, I have some equally sweet swampland in southern Florida you’ll really like.

In reality, my sainted father once had to go out searching to see where I’d disappeared to … with my mom’s car … at 2 a.m. My buddy and I were exactly where you’d expect us to be — with girls.

Did I mention the part about sneaking the car down the alley, motor off? I still don’t know how they figured that one out. We were so careful, pushing the little Mazda quietly through a score of sandy potholes.

Over 20 years and 22,000 hours of clinical work, a majority of it with teenagers, I’ve yet to find the young person who behind closed doors argues in favor of blind trust. Instead, I prefer the old Ronald Reagan approach to the Soviet Union: Trust, but verify.

That doesn’t mean locking teens in the basement ‘til age 18. In means that as parents we offer rights and freedoms with one hand and expectations with the other, and all the time we keep our eyes open.

logical Services Facebook page, you’ll find a new study that says parental supervision is actually down, particularly in the summer months, with some pretty negative consequences. That’s the real problem with “trust.” It’s as convenient for parents as it is developmentally inappropriate for the teens.

I do find, however, that teens vary in their quality of judgment. So when they’re out where they’re not supposed to be, doing things they’re not supposed to be doing, some are more sensible than others. They heed our warnings about drugs, drinking, driving and unprotected sex, and act to reduce their risk. They look out for their friends who aren’t so wise. They go out of their way not to embarrass themselves or their parents, even if they aren’t following all the rules.

When they’re caught, they handle things just as Miranda suggests.

If you’ve got one of those teens, you’ve done a pretty good job parenting. Just remember that having faith in a teen’s judgment is not the same thing as trusting them.

SIDEWALK SALE TOP TIPS The downtown Lawrence sidewalk sale is Thursday, sunup to sundown.

BY SARA SHEPHERD

A

fter 20-plus years manning the Downtown Lawrence Sidewalk Sale, Weaver’s Department Store Vice President Earl Reineman has a trove of tips for shoppers hunting the bargains he and other merchants are slinging.

For one, he warns, “If your husband doesn’t love to shop, leave him at home.”

Nothing can suck the fun out of a day at the sidewalk sale like having Debbie Downer as your sidekick, sore feet or — worse — a heat-induced medical problem. The folks at Weaver’s, 901 Mass., and other stores have several pointers for enjoying your experience and, of course, for getting great deals at this year’s sale, coming Thursday to Massachusetts Street.

Dan Hughes, owner of Sunflower Outdoor and Bike, 804 Mass., said the annual sale is his store’s biggest day of the year, not so much in profits but at least in gross sales.

“Our team here has been busy over the last eight weeks or so, looking through all of our inventory that is overstocked and stuff that needs to get out of here,” Hughes said. “It’s kind of like this slow burn up to the day of, then it’s like a chaotic circus.”

A few tips to keep in mind:

GO EARLY

The sale runs from sunup to sundown, and most merchants suggest hitting Massachusetts Street before sale items are picked over.

“If you get here early, you’re probably going to get your best shot at a bunch of great bargains,” Hughes said.

Besides that, he said, it’s usually cooler. And

GET OFF THE SIDEWALK

That’s not to say the early birds get all the worms.

Hughes said Sunflower Bike and a number of other shops — not interested in lugging a bunch of stuff back inside at the end of a long, hot day — mark items down even more toward the end of the sale.

“There are oftentimes some pretty sweet deals to be had at the end of the day,” he said.

It’s pretty much a given: Sidewalk sale day is going to be steamy.

“Make sure you drink lots of water, and wear sunblock,” said Emily Kurtz, a manager at MissFortune’s Creation Station, 726 Mass.

Reineman suggested making occasional stops at cooling stations or to order drinks and food inside restaurants.

“Pace yourself,” he said. “Take breaks from the shopping someplace cool where you can sit down, get something to drink.”

Designated cooling stations, which debuted last year, will be back, said Cathy Hamilton, director of Downtown Lawrence Inc. There will be about five of them, marked by big signs in their respective windows.

Another creature comfort, portable toilets, also will be on hand, planned for the breezeway in the 800 block of Massachusetts Street.

Men’s and women’s apparel and plenty of home items will be on the sidewalk outside Weaver’s,

but go indoors and you’ll find many other items marked down especially for sidewalk sale day.

“Don’t forget to shop inside the stores,” Reineman said.

“First of all, it’s cool. But second of all, like Weaver’s, for example, we have a lot of incredibly great bargains inside.”

Same goes for MissFortune’s.

“Every year we put every single item in our store on sale,” Kurtz said. “We usually don’t hold anything back.”

5

TAKE A LOAD OFF

MissFortune’s will check your parcels while you shop, although Kurtz said that’s not the norm for most stores.

“It seems like people end up carrying a lot of stuff around,” she said. “I would recommend people get downtown early so that they can park to drop stuff off.”

6

THINK OUTSIDE THE SEASON

Winter clothing or decorative items may not seem useful in the mid-July heat, but those are often among items stores want to move off their shelves.

Hughes said Sunflower Bike, for example, usually has wool hats and socks at great prices, even though you can’t wear them for a few more months.

“Shoppers … might need to have a special merit badge for being brave enough to try on hats,” Hughes laughed.

HAVE FUN

“I haven’t been before but I’m looking forward to it this year. I hope to get some clothes, particularly at Urban Outfitters.”

Wear comfortable shoes, pick good shopping companions and prepare to enjoy the bargains and the crowds, Reineman said.

The merchants will be doing the same.

“We all come early and it’s a long day, but it goes by pretty quickly,” Reineman said. “It’s a lot of fun for us.

We look forward to it every year.”

Disney magic in Marceline, Mo. Y

our daughter runs around in a Princess Jasmine costume and wishes upon a star every night. Your son secretly thinks that he looks just like Johnny Depp when he lunges about the house with his homemade cardboard sword, humming the “Pirates of the Caribbean” theme song.

Both your kids are clamoring to go to Disney World, but family finances dictate that none of you will be wearing mouse ears this summer.

Is there any destination close enough for a weekend jaunt that will be magical enough to satisfy your Disneycrazed offspring yet won’t put too big of a strain on the family budget?

If you are searching for the magic of The Mouse close to home, look no farther than the small Missouri town of Marceline, just 164 miles northeast of Lawrence.

NANCY PISTORIUS

DAYTRIPPER Marceline’s motto is “Experience the Magic.” Though the common assertion among Disney geeks is that “it all started with a mouse,” the magic actually all began in Marceline — underneath Walt’s Dreaming Tree, before Mickey was even a twinkle in young Walt’s eye.

Walt Disney was 5 years old when his father Elias decided to move his family from Chicago to a more peaceful, rural area. His brother Robert owned property in Marceline and encouraged Elias to buy 45 acres of farmland from him.

That train ride in 1906 on the Santa Fe line to Marceline started a lifetime fascination with trains for Walt, and the same “clickety-clack” sound that he heard as a youngster can now be

ONLINE waltdisneymuseum.org ToonFest.net

WALT DISNEY’S BARN (a dead ringer for the Mouseketeer Clubhouse) was rebuilt in 2011 to exactly replicate the original. heard on the train rides in the Disney theme parks.

After spending his earliest childhood in the rough and gritty urban landscape of Chicago, Walt now truly felt that he was home: “Everything connected with Marceline was a thrill to us.” Forever after, he thought of Marceline as his idyllic “Happy Place.”

Four years later, Walt’s parents sold the farm and uprooted the family to Kansas City. But in 1956, Walt came back to town to visit the farm where he’d spent so many happy hours. When he reached the spot in back of the house where a big, old cottonwood tree stood, Walt just grinned from ear to ear: “I can’t believe my Dreaming Tree is still here.”

Today, it is readily apparent that Disney’s spirit has never left Marceline. The Dreaming Tree (where Walt would sketch field mice) is still there, and Walt’s barn (where he put on his first shows, using farm cats as circus animals) was rebuilt by townspeople in 2001 to exactly replicate the original, complete with the swayback roof that Baby Boomers will remember from their Mouseketeer days.

The first blueprints of Disneyland show a remarkable resemblance to downtown Marceline, with its storefronts on Main Street and the trains coming and going. In fact, a visitor to Marceline’s Main Street, with its mouse-eartopped light poles, might have a hard time not believing that he’s on Main Street USA at Disneyland.

You can bring your kids to see the place where, according to Disney, “more things of importance happened to me … than have happened since — or are likely to in the future.”

The recently revamped and expanded Walt Disney Hometown Museum (open April 1 through Oct. 31), housed in the restored Santa Fe Depot that Walt loved, contains hundreds of letters, artifacts and personal belongings of the Disneys. Zealous volunteers serve as interpretive guides and “bring the master storyteller alive” right before your very eyes as they tell his story.

If you’ve ever secretly longed for a flask of pixie dust, you’ll feel a thrill of excitement when you make the pilgrimage to this tiny town to pay tribute to the world’s ultimate dreamer. Imagine an elementary school — Walt Disney Elementary, of course — whose walls are filled with colorful drawings of all the famous Disney cartoon characters, produced by Walt’s Hollywood Studio artists.

Imagine a desk enshrined in that school, where Walt sat as a daydreaming child and carved his initials. Imagine a Santa Fe locomotive and caboose, bearing the name “Santa Fe & Disneyland Railway,” standing proudly in the local park. Walt’s presence is everywhere.

If you want to meet internationally recognized cartoonists, you’ll need to know that ToonFest takes place on the third Saturday in September — this year, Sept. 15 — as a celebration of Walt’s favorite medium.

And one more thing you need to know about Marceline: The townsfolk there are downright friendly. In fact, the heartfelt hospitality one encounters in every shop and on every street corner can leave a city slicker feeling rather flustered. Even (gulp) teenagers wave at you as you drive by. They don’t know who you are, but they smile and they wave.

It’s enough to make this writer believe in fairy tales and pixie dust. And, you know what? Dreams really do come true.

Transform trash into treasure FAMILY FEATURES

T

he Picker Sisters — best friends and interior designers Tracy Hutson and Tanya McQueen — celebrate and cleanup life’s wild moments, and then find ways to reuse discarded items.

“We live by the saying, ‘one person’s trash is another’s treasure.’ In fact, on our television show, we travel across the country to find reclaimed trash to turn into treasure for our store,” said Hutson.

“However, you don’t have to travel far to find items worth transforming into beautiful pieces.”

The Picker Sisters have provided a few easy tips to help you turn everyday trash into treasure: ! Frame it. Are you holding onto old magazines, books or maps because they’re too interesting or appealing to toss? Or perhaps they’re items of sentiment. Instead of keeping them stuffed away in a desk drawer, showcase the items on your wall or mantel by framing them, which is also a great preservation tactic. ! Don’t trash the glass. Leftover wine bottles after a dinner party? Remove the labels and wash the bottles and they can quickly be transformed into a water carafe. Or cluster several bottles together with fresh cut flowers and candles and you have an eye-catching centerpiece.

Keep the corks, too, and throw them into a spare vase for a table or countertop display. ! Reuse old towels. Did you buy new bath towels and don’t know what to do with the old ones? Cut them into squares for dish rags or the size of a hand towel

to store in the garage to dry your car after a wash. If you’re super handy, you can stitch the ends with a needle and thread.

Otherwise, leave them undone and they’ll do the job. ! Create place cards. Create colorcoded place cards for dinner parties from old greeting cards by cutting 4 x 3-inch sections and folding horizontally. Write guests’ names in a metallic pen or add your own stickers or flair to personalize them. ! Refresh key pieces. Looking to freshen up your dining room chairs because they’ve endured their fair share of spills? Don’t throw them out. It may be easier than you think to reupholster the cushions with a fresh, new print or something spill-proof. With just a few key tools — such as an electric staple gun, pliers and screwdriver — you can have a freshlooking dining set. ! Upcycle old luggage. Do you have old trunk luggage you don’t know what to do with? Before purging it, consider using it to decorate your home by creating unique statement pieces. Stacking three or four suitcases to make a retro nightstand is just one of many ways to upcycle these old gems.

Keeping with the theme “trash to treasure,” Glad Black Bag is working with Keep America Beautiful’s Great American Cleanups across the country to collect items that can be turned into works of art.

Depending on her body type, mom-jean shorts can flatter the body of a younger woman in her teens or 20s because she is most likely at her curviest.

GABY OTERO, a 20-year-old student from Lawrence, shows high-waisted jean shorts — aka mom-jean shorts — can work on some body types.

High-waisted shorts can be flattering

M

om jeans.

You know what I’m talking about: The term coined on “Saturday Night Live” for those high-waisted, light denim, tapered-ankle jeans that somehow flatten the curvature of every woman’s body into ill-defined lumps and crevices.

They’re unmistakable in American society, made popular in the early 1990s by — you got it — moms.

Designers have introduced a vast variety of jean styles throughout the last 70 years that continue coming into and going out of style, but of all the styles I thought would resurge, mom jeans were at the bottom of the list.

However, as with many things that are fashion “forward,” mom jeans fit into the category of “so out they’re in.” Someone had to wear them as a statement piece, and then naturally, others followed.

This summer, Mass. Street is buzzing with young, fashion-conscious women in high-waisted, mom-jean shorts. And oddly enough, I have

no qualms with it.

Now, to be sure, there’s a big difference between mom jeans and mom-jean shorts. For example, the tapered legs of mom jeans create an awful illusion of disproportionately big hips and butt versus really small calves and ankles. Momjean shorts, on the other hand, allow a woman’s legs and hips to speak for themselves.

It also makes a difference in who is wearing the shorts. Depending on body type, mom-jean shorts can flatter the body of a younger woman in her teens or 20s because she is most likely at her curviest. However, the natural flattening of curves on women over the age of 40 intensifies the flattening illusion of this style of shorts.

Additionally, mom-jean shorts are usually pretty short — not an appropriate look for middle-aged women.

Style writers and online bloggers have taken to bashing any celebrity (or any woman, for that matter) caught in mom-jean shorts over the past couple months. I’m not trying to stick up for mom-jean shorts as much as I’m trying to say

that they’re not that bad. In fact, they can look cute if the other pieces in the outfit stay modest and up-to-date. I don’t own a pair, and I don’t plan on buying any, but the unflattering silhouette that mom jeans create just doesn’t carry over into mom-jean shorts.

Mom-jean shorts are bringing back the ‘90s in a new way. Whether this new way is good or bad, I’ll let you decide, but I don’t think ‘90s fashion could get a whole lot worse.

Mom jeans, on the other hand, can stay as far away from 2012 and beyond as possible — nobody should wear them.

If you’re a woman in her 20s, and you like wearing high-waisted shorts, then by all means, do it. When the weather cools off, though, please don’t let this trend carry into mom jeans.

It’s all I ask.

A survey with teeth: Most of us clueless about dental habits, oral health

P

op quiz: How often should you floss?

If you think twice a week sounds about right, you’re like most Americans surveyed in the American Dental Association’s first oral health quiz. And you’d be wrong, as they were, about that and many other dental basics, netting them the lowly grade of “D” on the quiz. (Floss once a day, ADA says.)

“We’re hoping that this sets the low bar,” said Dr. Ada Cooper, a dentist in New York and an ADA spokeswoman.

The ADA released the survey results alongside the launch of mouthhealthy. org, which aims to bring oral health enlightenment to the masses — from what to do when you crack a tooth to what

foods to eat when you have canker sores.

You can take a modified version of the quiz on the site.

Vigilance about the state of your mouth and small habit changes can go a long way toward preventing tooth decay and catching a problem before it becomes more costly, Cooper said.

Nine out of 10 adults ages 20 to 64 have had cavities in their permanent teeth, and dental disease is the most common chronic disease suffered by children, according to the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research.

Twenty-four percent of adults have untreated cavities in their mouths, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Among children ages 6

to 19, it’s 16 percent.

Here are some common misconceptions people have about their teeth, according to the ADA’s survey of 1,500 adults, which was conducted in May. Survey says: 65 percent of respondents believe they should replace their toothbrush twice a year.

ADA says: Replace your toothbrush every three to four months, or sooner if the bristles become frayed.

Survey says: 75 percent of respondents don’t know what age to take their child to the dentist for the first time.

ADA says: A child’s first trip to the dentist should be within six months after the first tooth appears or no later than the child’s first birthday.

Survey says: 81 percent of respondents think that sugar causes cavities.

ADA says: Cavities are caused by germs in the mouth that feed on sugar and then produce acid which attacks tooth enamel. In time, the acid attacks weaken the enamel to the point where a cavity forms.

Survey says: 59 percent of respondents don’t realize cavity-causing germs can be passed from person to person.

ADA says: Yes, they can. Parents and caregivers can pass bacteria that cause cavities to their children by pre-chewing food, sharing utensils or licking a pacifier to clean it.

he last time my nephew, Charlie, stayed with us, my husband fed him Girl Scout Cookies for lunch. This might be why nearly a year has lapsed since his last visit.

No matter the reason, we were happy to host the little man-child again for a weekend. Gone are his terrorizing toddler ways with the head-banging and diaper-filling as Charlie, now 4 years old, has entered the world of “Star Wars” and toilet-flushing.

Most impressive of all, though, Charlie has mastered the art of negotiation — probably more than most businessmen, definitely more than every single member of Congress, and always coming out ahead.

Charlie hit it hard the first night.

In an effort to claim the titles of Best Wife Ever and Best Aunt Ever, I decided to make a lemon pie (my husband’s favorite pie) for dessert (Charlie’s favorite meal).

I did not realize, however, that my sister had spent the week prior convincing Charlie that the leftover lemon merengue pie they had in their own refrigerator was far too sour to eat and would assault his highly refined taste buds were he to try it.

My sister, brother-in-law and 11-year-old niece enjoyed that pie the rest of the week without Charlie’s interference.

But I am not Charlie’s mother; I am his aunt.

So I let Charlie in on the fact that his mother had duped him into believing lemon pie was hardly edible just so she could have more to herself. I then poured lemony filling into two pie crusts and slid them into the oven to bake.

We all enjoyed a humid evening playing outside, explaining to Charlie why we were not going to fight with real light sabers, ride our dog like a horse or build a tree house in our (somewhat treeless)

backyard. He made compelling points on each issue, nearly winning out on the tree house, but we agreed to table further discussion until the next visit.

We came back in as the sun set, easily past Charlie’s bedtime.

“Charlie,” I asked the 4-year-old boy as I pulled the piping hot pies from the oven, “What time do you usually go to bed?”

“Hmmm …” He thought for a while and then, spying the two lemon pies he now knew were not only edible but potentially delicious, returned my question with one of his own. “Well, what time will the pie be ready to eat?”

“Whenever I put the whipped cream on top,” I said as I smiled at his eager little face that probably should have already hit the pillow.

“How ‘bout I have a piece, then I go to bed?” he suggested.

While his mean old mother might have sent him to bed without any pie, his aunt would never dream of it.

“Perfect,” I told him before leading him up to the bathtub while the pies finished cooling.

Maybe he is less negotiator and more Jedi Knight. Maybe Aunt Julie is a sucker.

But Charlie will never pass up lemon pie again.

The roots responsible for soaking up water tend to concentrate around the outer perimeter of the plant in an area referred to as “the drip line.”

LINDA COTTIN

Help trees, shrubs weather the drought

E

xtreme heat and drought can take its toll on trees and shrubs. Adequate watering is essential for the survival of even wellestablished trees.

Step 1: Watering in the morning is recommended, but during times of extreme heat, watering at night reduces surface evaporation and allows for maximum water absorption.

Setting a system up with water timers and soaker hoses is a great way to create an easy and efficient watering routine.

Step 2: Large woody plants and well-established trees should be watered every one to two weeks with approximately 10 gallons of water per inch of trunk diameter. Small woody plants and young trees typically need to be watered once every three to four days. Watch for signs of stress such as leaves that are wilting, curling, browning, or falling off the

tree. Established plants can take up to two years to show signs of stress, so do not assume if a tree looks healthy it is doing well.

Step 3: The roots responsible for soaking up water tend to concentrate around the outer perimeter of the plant in an area referred to as “the drip line.” The drip line forms around the plant and extends slightly out past the tips of the branches to encompass the area where water drips during and after a rain. Watering along the drip line is the most effective method for ensuring proper water absorption.

Step 4: Sprinklers work fine, soaker hoses work better. For single plantings and established trees, nothing beats a root feeder. Root feeders (used without fertilizer) water below the ground surface, increasing soil aeration and virtually eliminating loss to evaporation.

Step 5: Typical sprinklers deliver about 4 gallons per minute. Soaker hoses and root feeders deliver about 2 gallons per minute. For root feeding, calculate the amount of water each tree needs and divide it by the number of spots along the drip line you plan to water at.

Smaller trees should be watered at four spots long the drip line, while larger trees may require as many as six to eight feeding spots. Drive the root feeding stake 12 inches to 14 inches into the ground along the tree or shrub drip line.

Allow the water to flow for the calculated amount of time and then move the root feeder to another spot along the drip line. Continue the process until the appropriate amount of water has been applied.

See answer next Monday!

Book says there’s no rush to planting “Slow Gardening: A No-Stress Philosophy for All Senses and Seasons” By Felder Rushing (Chelsea Green) What it is: “Slow Gardening: A No-Stress Philosophy for All Senses and Seasons” is iconoclast gardenerauthor Felder Rushing’s slow-paced, all-purpose guide to living the slow life in the garden. In Rushing’s world view, to garden slowly is to garden richly, mining for depth of meaning and whatever brings you — not your neighbor across the picket fence — the purest, most exhilarating joy. While he’s plenty philosophical, Rushing generously throws in plenty of how-to’s: from how to slow down to how to get the most oomph out of your backyard waterfall.

What makes it armchair-worthy: This is not a book that leaps out and shakes you by the lapels. It works its thoughtprovoking ways without drumroll or cymbal crash. But as you read along, you begin to survey your own gardening style with an eye toward savoring the labors, the delights, the time it takes to watch a sapling grow into a tree that shades your afternoon lemonade. He invites contemplation, for mulling over such revolutionary ideas as ditching noisy garden tools, or sitting in your garden even when it’s raining or dark outside. “Get personal with your weather,” Rushing implores. And, above all else, he encourages you to share your garden with a child — your own or someone else’s.
