SENATE DISTRICT 19

Political novices want shot at elder statesman ——

GOP rookie would face longest-serving lawmaker, Anthony Hensley

LAWRENCE RESIDENT MAUREEN BERNHAGEN, who is pictured with her dogs, Cosmo, left, and Taza, would like the city to put a fenced dog park on the south side of Peterson Park, at the corner of Peterson Road and North Iowa Street. Bernhagen says she has gathered 375 signatures from supporters on a petition, which was presented to city officials earlier this month.

Resident petitions city to add new, fenced-in dog park

By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

Maureen Bernhagen wants a fenced dog park in Lawrence that would be more accessible and safer for dogs and their owners.

She has two small dogs, Cosmo and Taza, and has no place to let them safely romp around, even though Lawrence has two off-leash dog parks.

“There’s a lack of fences,” she said. “My dogs are not well-trained to come on command all of the time.

They need to be fenced in and with dogs that are similar in size.”

One of Lawrence’s dog parks is the 30-acre Mutt Run established in 2001 below the Clinton Dam. It has a small fenced area that is overgrown with trees, weeds and brush, and few, if any, dog owners use it.

Bernhagen said the park is not easily accessible because it’s on the western outskirts of town and most people have to drive to get there.

Lawrence also allows dogs to be off their leashes in Riverfront Park near downtown,

but many owners don’t feel comfortable letting their dogs run free so close to the river.

Bernhagen submitted a proposal to establish a fenced dog park to the Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department board earlier this month. She said it would be healthy not only for dogs, but for owners.

“People just go for the entertainment factor, just to sit and watch the dogs,” she said. “I think there’s a great social aspect for seniors because they typically can’t let their dogs go loose or walk the terrain that’s out at the Clinton Lake dog park.”

Two political newcomers are vying for the Republican Party nomination to try to defeat the longest-serving member of the Kansas Legislature, Sen. Anthony Hensley, D-Topeka.

Casey Moore of Topeka and Matthew Windheuser of Lawrence are the GOP contenders in the Aug. 7 primary for Kansas Senate District 19.

The winner faces Hensley, a 35-year member of the LegisMoore lature and leader of the Senate Democrats.

Senate District 19 includes eastern Topeka, western Douglas County and all of Osage County.

Both Moore, 35, and Windheuser, 23, are running for poWindheuser litical office for the first time.

Windheuser had originally filed to run against Sen. Marci Francisco, DLawrence, but the redistricting plan ordered by a three-judge panel put more of Douglas County in District 19 and threw Windheuser’s residence into that district.

Moore, a commodity trader who has lived in Topeka since 2006, said he wants to reduce government spending and cut taxes.

The candidates outlined their positions on several topics during recent interviews and public forums.

Destructive insect bearing down on Kansas threatens ash trees

By Alex Garrison acgarrison@ljworld.com

AN ADULT EMERALD ASH BORER, left, is displayed next to an Emerald Ash Borer larvae. The larvae of the insect is known for killing ash trees by tunneling and feeding under the bark.

There’s a deadly bug on its way into northeast Kansas.

And when — experts say it’s a matter of when, not if — it gets here, more than 10 percent of our trees could die.

The emerald ash borer is an invasive beetle species that’s originally from Asia. It was first spotted killing ash trees in Michigan in 2002 and has spread rapidly. Invasion was confirmed in southern Missouri in 2008, and the Missouri Department of

Agriculture confirmed on Wednesday, through just one infection of one tree, that emerald borers have made their way into Platte County, just about four miles from the border with Kansas.

Mary Geiger, a spokeswoman for the Kansas Department of Agriculture, said that her office has been tracking borers for years and working to prevent their spread with traps on ash trees throughout the state.

There have as yet been no sightings here, and crews are working to contain the infes-

FIGHT THE BUG

The Kansas Department of Agriculture asks campers to refrain from transporting firewood. Using only locally grown firewood — and burning all that you take or buy — is a good way to help prevent the spread of emerald ash borers, officials at the department say. If you think you’ve spotted an infestation in one or more of your ash trees, call the department in Topeka at 785-862-2180 or the national emerald ash borer hotline at 866-322-4512.

tation through ash tree culling in Kansas City.

There are many kinds of borers present and native to Kansas, said Jennifer Smith, Douglas County’s horticulture extension agent. But emerald ash borers breed and feed so quickly that they almost always prove fatal to the infected tree, usually in as little as one season. Larvae hatched on bark bore into the cambium layer of the tree — in between the bark and the wood, where

the tree stores its food and water — eat through essential nutrients and leave telltale holes shaped like half-inch capital letter Ds. Just one emerald ash borer — smaller than a penny — can kill a tree.

Smith said that taking down ash trees around an infected one can put a damper on spread because adult emerald ash borers aren’t strong fliers, so it’s hard for them to make it a long distance to another tree, the only place their life cycle can continue. Still, the species has spread to 15 states — Missouri is the farthest west — and killed at least 20 million trees. It’s thought that the species came in originally through shipping on the Great Lakes

and that individual bugs get moved around via people transporting firewood.

Michael Pitts, owner and operator of Lawrence Tree Service, is always on the lookout for the shiny green bugs. He says he’s shocked that they’ve made it so close to home so soon. Northeast Kansas doesn’t have nearly as dense of an ash population as the upper Midwest, but a significant portion of our trees are ash and therefore susceptible.

Emerald ash borers here would be good for Pitts’ business because there would be a lot of dead wood that would need removal. But he isn’t looking forward to what unfortunately looks to be inevitable.

“I’d still rather have the trees,” he said.

— Reporter Alex Garrison can be reached at 832-7261.

Rose bushes also under attack Ash trees make up a lot of the local wooded areas, but some of the county’s prettiest flowers are under threat, too. Rose bushes, especially Knock Out roses, get a viruslike infection called rose-rosette disease.

Jennifer Smith, Douglas County extension agent, said rose-rosette disease has been in the area for five or six years but is especially bad this year because all plants are stressed under our drought conditions and more susceptible.

Dennis Patton, Johnson County extension agent, said that rose-rosette is even more prevalent there,

especially in beds around commercial areas. The disease makes bushes grow oddly, resulting in hundreds of thorns on one stem, red instead of green foliage and deformed flowers.

Rose-rosette disease is often spread through pruning and once a plant gets it, the plant must be removed.

But the soil can soon take new plants, Patton said.

Gardeners can prevent the disease’s spread by disinfecting pruning equipment between working on different plants, like you would wash things touched by someone who has the cold or a flu.

Reservoirs tapped to supply Mo. River KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — Some of the same reservoirs that were blamed last year for causing flooding along the Missouri River are providing a big boost this year as a severe drought continues with no signs of letting up.

The river had depleted this year’s supply of snowpack and rain, and on Friday the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers started tapping reserves in lakes upriver in North Dakota and Montana.

The Kansas City Star reported Sunday that unlike the Mississippi River on the eastern side of Missouri — which was 15 feet below normal near Memphis, Tenn., last week — and several waterways in states like Kansas and Nebraska, the Missouri River has stayed level aside from dropping a foot in a few places downstream from Kansas City.

“It’s been a dry fall, winter, spring and summer,” said Jody Farhat, chief of Missouri River water management for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

“We haven’t really been impacted.”

Farhat said there is plenty of water in the north to keep the Missouri River going. The “bank account” of reservoir water is designed to get the region through a 12-year Dust Bowl scenario, she said.

It’s not unusual for the corps to draw the reservoirs down each year to make room for new runoff. That gives the Missouri River an advantage

many others don’t have.

The drought has hurt the entire Mississippi River system, which depends on a number of tributary rivers that are now running low. Rivers in Kansas and Nebraska are reaching record lows and are experiencing critical shortages.

Lincoln, Neb., officials are concerned that the Platte River might not be able to supply the city through the drought and are talking about mandatory water restrictions.

Lake Springfield in Illinois is falling by half an inch a day and already has lost 2 feet, prompting the city of Springfield to also consider water restrictions.

Kansas may be drier than all of them, although some waterways fed by reservoirs aren’t in bad condition, said Brian Loving, a hydrologist with the U.S. Geological Survey.

While the Kansas River is still flowing at about 70 percent of normal, other streams that rely on rainfall and groundwater — like many near Wichita and in the western part of the state — have been hit hard, Loving said.

Many Kansas streams could be setting new record lows, according to USGS records dating back to the 1930s.

“We have the potential for this to be the worst year since we’ve been keeping records,” Loving said.

Senate CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Windheuser, who is unemployed, has said he wants a comprehensive review of state spending on public schools.

When asked whether he would work to restore cuts made to schools in recent years, Windheuser said he thought schools needed less money than they are receiving now.

Moore said he thought the money schools receive now should be spent more efficiently.

On the issue of taxes, some have expressed concern that the tax cuts signed into law by Gov. Sam Brownback will short funds to schools and social services in future years.

Moore expressed support for the tax cuts that reduce income tax rates and eliminate income taxes on nonwage income for businesses.

“Ideally, I would like no income tax,” Moore said.

He said lower taxes will boost the economy and create jobs.

Windheuser said he disagreed with Moore’s desire to eliminate income taxes because it is a major funding source for the state.

“Eliminating it would

percent increase in five years. Parks overall only increased 3 percent in that time.

It’s no surprise to Ernie Shaw, director of Lawrence Parks and Recreation.

“There just seems to be a lot of synergy in that area,” he said. “There does probably need to be another in-town dog park somewhere.”

Bernhagen has proposed locating the dog park at Peterson Road Park, which is 22 acres of undeveloped, city-owned property just west of Hallmark Cards. She said not only did someone from Parks and Recreation mention the site as a possibility, but she thinks the dog park could be an economic boost because it would be located near two hotels. She said it might help attract dog events and shows.

However, Shaw said a master plan for Peterson Park Road completed in 2000 calls for extended parking, restrooms, picnic areas, an outdoor roller hockey rink and a building that people could rent for gatherings.

“That’s on the shelf, and it has been on the shelf for 12 years, and regardless if money popped up tomorrow, we are going to have to go back and revise it,” he said.

Shaw said the board will start looking at possible locations for a dog park in the fall and likely will hold public meetings.

He said the location will be the toughest part of the process because some people won’t want it in their backyard and others will.

Then, it will be a matter of cost and where it falls on the priority list with the money that’s available.

The department is making about $20,000 in improvements this year at Mutt Run based on responses to an online survey. Those include expanded parking, upgrades to the existing shelter,

new signage, a dog wash pad and small dog pond.

It plans to work on two double-gated fenced areas — one for small dogs and one for large dogs — but Shaw said the timeline depends on money and other projects.

“We are going to look into that and see what the cost is because that was something high on the list,” he said. #"#"#

Bernhagen knows that funding is tight and proposed a few options for raising money: seeking corporate sponsorships, implementing a minimal fee for dog licensing or charging a small fee for a key card assess system to the park.

She has circulated a petition for the dog park and so far, she’s collected 375 signatures. All of them were willing to pay a fee.

“I think that establishing a dog licensing system in Lawrence would be a great way to start because most cities this size do have dog licensing as part of their city ordinance,” she said.

Shaw said a committee discussed a dog licensing fee when Mutt Run was established and concluded that by the time they hired people to handle the licensing fees and to check on dog owners who had permits, the costs would outweigh the income. #"#"#

In two and a half years, they raised $30,000, and the fenced dog park opened in June 2010.

Gibson said it was and continues to be a community effort. The Parks and Recreation Department maintains the landscaping and provides disposable pet-waste bags. A Boy Scout made six benches for the park for his Eagle project. The committee continues to meet and raise money for park improvements. It sponsors two events each year.

wrestling mark. Actually, he found out something even more instructive: Lawrence residents still flock to the library to have fun and make connections.

EUDORA — As Eudora Police Chief Grady Walker sits in his department’s conference room next to Fire Chief Chris Moore and City Administrator John Harrenstein, he’s talking about how cramped both agencies are in the current 8,000-squarefoot building.

Then, suddenly, he points to an out-of-whack door frame in the corner. “A prime example,” Walker said.

Some time earlier, a ladder on a fire truck in the garage that’s just on the other side of the wall smacked and damaged the frame.

“The truck did that,” Harrenstein said, because there’s so little space to park the fire trucks as firefighters back them into the bay in the station.

The story illustrates one finding of a 2010 audit of Eudora’s fire department, he said, that revealed the space in the city’s public safety building is too small to safely house heavy fire trucks. The

HOW TO HELP

Hands-on help needed for school’s project Staff Reports

Agency: Lawrence Community Nursery School Contact: Susie Roman at 785-231-8474 or susieromanmt@yahoo.com.

Lawrence Community Nursery School is about to embark on a project in which volunteer support will be needed to help repair its retaining wall and put in a sidewalk. The retaining wall exists to keep the playground safe, and school officials are looking forward to adding a sidewalk for not only their school community to use, but the neighborhood as well. The school is located at the corner of Seventh and Alabama streets.

This project is scheduled from Aug. 3 to Aug. 5, and about five volunteers will be needed each day. Parents who work in the construction business will be overseeing the project, guiding volunteers and providing skills training, so no specialized skills are needed, just a willingness to be outside and do manual labor. Tasks include shoveling, carrying bricks, smoothing surfaces, removing rocks, etc. Volunteers will be needed for several hours each day, but there is no requirement to commit to more than a day of helping out.

Contact Susie Roman for more details at 785-2318474 or susieromanmt@ yahoo.com.

Immediate needs !"CLO’s Midnight Farm will be hosting an afterschool program for kids with special needs starting this fall and is in need of lots of volunteer support. There will be different themes for each day, including music, art, sports and entertainment.

CLO is looking for regular volunteers to come and help in the planning and execution of these activities. Training will be provided for working with individuals with disabilities; no experience is required, but volunteers who have ideas about and knowledge of the different

themes would be appreciated. For more details, contact Brett Bauer at 913406-4870 or brettbauer@ clokan.org. !" The Lied Center of Kansas is looking for volunteer ushers for its upcoming season. Volunteer ushers are responsible for greeting patrons, handing out programs, tearing tickets and assisting patrons with seating and other needs. Ushers will help with Lied Center performing arts events, Kansas University School of Music performances, as well as campus and community rental events. Volunteers are asked to make a commitment for at least six months, and can sign up for the events they plan to work at the beginning of each semester.

Walker said most of their rooms fill multiple purposes. There are lockers for the officers in a hallway, and many times when victims or members of the public come to make a report, they first meet with officers in the front lobby while other people come in to make payments with the municipal court clerk’s window a few feet away.

“There’s just no privacy,” he said. “We’re crowded, and it’s going to be able to free up a little more space.”

The departments do like being able to remain in the same building together, and municipal court will also be held in the new building instead of at city hall, meaning officers won’t have to leave the building to appear in court.

Group hopes to reverse new Wichita open-carry law WICHITA — Some Wichita city leaders and business owners have teamed up with the intention of reversing a new city ordinance that allows people to openly carry firearms without a permit.

The Wichita Eagle reported Sunday the practice became legal Thursday after the City Council passed the ordinance earlier this month.

Council members said their hands were tied by a

reverse the new city law.

“I’m not going to live in Tombstone,” Miller said.

Kansas Sen. Dick Kelsey, a gun advocate who has been endorsed by the National Rifle Association, dismissed those concerns.

“We’re talking about a non-issue here,” Kelsey said. “We’re not headed back to Tombstone.”

He said he would be surprised if the new ordinance resulted in a proliferation of unconcealed weapons.

Top state wetlands hit hard by drought WICHITA (AP) — Two of Kansas’ premier wetlands are in danger of drying up, and wildlife officials say that could be devastating for waterfowl hunters and wildlife watchers down the road.

On the flip side, managers at Cheyenne Bottoms Wildlife Area and Quivira National Wildlife Refuge said the lowto-nonexistent water levels give them access to areas they usually can’t get to when water is plentiful.

The Wichita Eagle reported Sunday that wildlife officials believe the conditions of the central Kansas wetlands are probably the worst they’ve been in about 20 years.

Cheyenne Bottoms, near Great Bend, has cracks crisscrossing broad expanses of dirt usually covered by water. Only about an acre’s worth of stagnant puddles remain.

At Quivira, about 90 miles northwest of Wichita, winds blow up white salt storms across bonedry alkali marsh beds.

One of the area’s top features, Big Salt Marsh, is about 80 percent dry, while Little Salt Marsh still has about 30 percent of its water, but it’s shallow.

Both wetland areas usually have thousands of acres of shallow water intertwined with lush marsh plants. That makes them a popular resting place for millions of migrating birds every fall, but that could change if the skies don’t open up with precipitation sometime soon.

Kansas man threatens Westar worker OLATHE — A suburban Kansas City man could face criminal charges after using a baseball bat to threaten a utility worker who was preparing to cut off his electricity.

KCTV reports the Olathe man confronted a Westar employee at 10:30 a.m.

Thursday but never swung the bat.

While Missouri has rules preventing utilities from cutting the power of delinquent customers dur-

ing extremely hot weather, Kansas has no such restrictions.

The man says he was upset because he has three children who live in the home, and it was very hot and muggy Thursday morning.

The utility worker fled the scene and called police. The man paid his bill and kept his electricity on.

The case has been turned over to the Johnson County District Attorney’s office for possible charges.

LAWRENCE PUBLIC LIBRARY

Expansion work still set to begin by end of year

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Construction work for a $19 million expansion of the Lawrence Public Library is still scheduled to begin before the end of this year.

Library director Brad Allen said the design of the library is expected to move into a new phase by mid-August.

“We’re quickly getting to the point where we won’t be moving walls around on paper anymore,” Allen said. “They’ll start drawing the construction documents.”

The general aspects of the library expansion remain the same as what was presented to voters in November 2010: ! A 20,000-square-foot expansion and renovation of all existing library space. ! A doubling of the amount of children’s room space, including a

Library CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

“I’m convinced Lawrence is a town that is creative, proud of itself and wants to be great,” Allen said. “I think the library can help in that.”

Allen, who in addition to having served in Everett also has worked in a management position at his hometown Topeka and Shawnee County Public Library, thinks people who focus only on how libraries will distribute books in the future aren’t thinking broadly enough.

He said books became the backbone of libraries because for much of history, books had been “precious and expensive.” It didn’t make sense for everyone to own every book they ever wanted to read.

But with digital technology, books have become cheaper. And even if you don’t want to own a book, you no longer need to travel to a library to borrow one, especially if you are willing to read an electronic version.

Allen is still a big believer in the role books will play in the libraries of the future — he noted even today it would cost parents thousands of dollars to buy their children all the picture books they want to read. But even if the future of the book changes dramatically, he said, there are still plenty of products that fit into that “precious and expensive” category.

Certain types of computer software fall into that category, he said. So do some types of digital equipment like high-tech recorders and cameras, and Allen is sure the community has its own lists of such products as well.

“I really believe people ought to think of the library as a place that pro-

separate space for young adults. ! A three-level parking garage to be built on a portion of the library’s current parking lot. ! A doubling of meeting room space. ! New space for 100 additional public access computers.

A question that remains, Allen said, is whether the library will seek to move into temporary space while the library undergoes expansion, rather than asking patrons to excuse the mess of construction crews. Allen said he supports the idea of moving to a temporary location.

“It would be better for the people we serve to not be in this building while construction is under way,” Allen said. “If we are here, it basically will be constant shifting and change. And basically, we won’t have any parking at the site either.”

But Allen said it is still unclear whether the library can afford to move into temporary space. The city is hopeful the expansion could be completed more quickly — and perhaps for less money — if the library vacated the space. But Allen said those savings created by a move likely will need to be enough to pay for lease payments and other expenses related to a temporary location.

“There are no funds outside the bond issue for us to do any of that,” Allen said.

The city’s construction manager on the project, Lawrence-based B.A. Green Construction, currently is studying how much the city may save in construction costs by vacating the facility.

“

I’m convinced Lawrence is a town that is creative, proud of itself and wants to be great.

I think the library can help in that.”

— Brad Allen, Lawrence Public Library director vides shared resources,” Allen said. “Just think of all the things you buy once and then never use again. Maybe it doesn’t have to be that way.”

But that type of thinking about libraries, Allen said, also requires a thought that doesn’t exactly pervade America these days.

But he thinks it is still alive in Lawrence.

“Government can be good, and it can be helpful,” Allen said. “I know not everyone believes in that, but I do believe together we can create this great shared space we’ll be proud of.” !"!"!

Not every library has a director whom you can find on YouTube playing the bass guitar. Somehow, it seems appropriate that Lawrence does.

Allen and those middleschool friends who were relegated to a Topeka basement really did have a chance for a career in the rock ’n’ roll industry.

Although Allen didn’t mention it, the website for the now-defunct band, Vitreous Humor, touts how Allen and the boys opened for the band Everclear and several other big name bands.

Indeed, Allen said record companies did come calling about a career, but he never came very close to pursuing it. It wasn’t that he always knew he wanted to be a library director. But he did have an academic scholarship at KU, and he wasn’t going to start a full-fledged music career unless a record company would pay for him to return to school.

“I’ve always been a to-

tal nerd when it comes to learning,” Allen said. “I just loved school.”

In what is an odd turn of events, school even kept Allen away from the library for a while. After graduating with his master’s in library science from the University of Illinois, Allen decided he didn’t quite want to give up school just yet.

He got a master’s in Afro-American Studies from the University of Wisconsin. He wrote his thesis on the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band. Not many libraries can say that about their directors, either.

For quite a while, Allen wasn’t sure a career in the library industry was in his future. He wanted to explore a career that focused on the “life of the mind.” Perhaps a professor or something like that.

Somewhere along the way, though, Allen realized something about being a library director — the life of the mind is at the heart of the profession.

Allen said he now spends his days trying to get into the minds of others.

“Libraries really are about making a connection,” Allen said. “You put people and data together, and the people benefit from it.

“But to do it well, you have to get to know people so you can show them the stuff that enriches their lives. It is a simple process, but to me it is the best part of being alive.”

Walmart stores receive false bomb threats Lawrence police responded to two bomb threats directed at Lawrence Walmart stores just before 2:30 a.m. Sunday.

The Walmarts at 550 Congressional Drive and 3300 Iowa both reported threats within minutes of each other made by a male caller just before 2:30 a.m.

Police investigated, but the threats turned out to be false.

Similar false threats were made just before 4:30 a.m. toward a Walmart in Leavenworth.

These three threats come on the heels of a string of false threats made in Missouri and Oklahoma.

The Associated Press reported that stores in

eight Missouri communities had received similar threats on Friday. A false bomb threat shut down a store in Claremore, Okla., on Wednesday.

At 4 p.m. Sunday, Lawrence police Sgt. Randy Roberts said that no further information was available.

August is important for Romney

EDITORIALS

ID effort ——

Kudos to the Douglas County clerk for making it easier for voters to obtain the state identification cards they will need at the polls.

D

ouglas County Clerk Jamie Shew is going the extra mile to help voters meet new photo ID require-

ments.

He announced last week that his office has set up a system that will allow residents to obtain valid photo ID cards in the clerk’s office rather than having to endure lines at the Department of Motor Vehicles office. The service, which will begin operating today, will be free to any registered voter in the county who doesn’t already have a driver’s license or other ID. To obtain an ID, voters need to bring one of the “residency documents” defined in federal law. That can be a current utility bill, bank statement, government check or other government-issued document that includes a name and address.

The system also is designed to be mobile, Shew said, which will allow staff members to take it to nursing homes or other locations to serve residents who would find it difficult to travel either to the clerk’s office or the DMV to obtain an ID. We don’t know how many other county clerks in Kansas have made similar outreach efforts, but Shew deserves the community’s thanks for implementing a system that should help more people meet the new photo ID requirement.

Hopefully, similar efforts will be made to help accommodate the new law that takes effect Jan. 1, requiring people registering to vote in Kansas for the first time to show proof of citizenship. Perhaps some system can be established that not only allows the clerk’s office to register voters at various locations but preserves the ability of groups like the League of Women Voters to conduct voter registration drives.

Voting is a basic right in a democracy.

According to their supporters, the state’s new election laws are needed to protect the integrity of elections and prevent voter fraud. While it’s important to keep illegal voters out of the process, it’s at least as important to make sure qualified voters continue to have a voice.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for July 30, 1912: “The second trip that Clyde Baxter has taken to the county YEARS jail during the short space of AGO time that he has been a resident IN 1912 of Lawrence came today. It is alleged that Baxter picked up a number of articles about various stores in Lawrence and carried them home. He seemingly has an uncontrollable mania for such acts as these. Heretofore matrimonial troubles have been besetting this young man, but is now facing a misdemeanor charge and is awaiting his hearing at the County jail.”

Mitt Romney returns to earth, or at least to the United States, later this week after an overseas tour designed to burnish his foreign-policy credentials and prepare him for the Republican National Convention next month and then a grueling general-election battle. Summer vacation’s over, and it’s back to work.

Presidential elections are seldom this close this far from Election Day, which is why the way Mitt Romney uses August is unusually important. There’s much to do, and not a day to waste.

Romney’s advisers in their Boston redoubt surely know the way another Massachusetts governor, 1988 Demo-

David Shribman dshribman@post-gazette.com

“

Both Dukakis and Romney are meticulous men, fascinated with and sometimes drowning in details, so there’s little chance the 2012 nominee will rush the selection of a vice presidential nominee like Sen. John McCain (2008) and Sen. George S. McGovern (1972) did.”

cratic nominee Michael S. Dukakis, whiled away his summer (and a 17-point lead Romney can only envy) as Vice President George H.W. Bush planned a brutal assault on his rival that won him the White House.

No presidential campaign is the same as any previous one. Romney can be thankful for that, for he gets to run against Barack Obama in 2012, when Obama seems inexplicable, and not in 2008, when he seemed indefatigable, irresistible and inevitable.

Lessons from Dukakis Yet there remain great lessons for the Romney team this August from the Dukakis experience in 1988.

There are substantial similarities between the two men. They both occupied the governor’s office on the second floor of the State House on Beacon Hill, both hold Harvard degrees, both have a difficult time making emotional connections with voters, both have a record of

government efficiency, both possess an appreciation for the art of business, and both are famous inside their families for manic expressions of personal thrift.

But Dukakis ran in a completely different era, before the 24-hour news cycle, before the Internet, before Twitter, before vitriolic public commentary on every website and cable TV network, before Super PACs. Indeed, there was almost no measurable change in the way campaigns were run in the 24 years between Dukakis’ campaign and the one Barry Goldwater ran against Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964.

The changes between the Dukakis-Bush campaign and Obama-Romney 24 years later are so great they cannot be measured. Even so, Romney must avoid some of the missteps made by the Dukakis campaign, which (it is forgotten now) was a political juggernaut until summertime.

An underdog initially and vastly underestimated, Dukakis shrewdly won his nomination in a far tougher field than Romney confronted, including a future vice president and party nominee (Al Gore), a future House majority leader (Richard A. Gephardt) and a civil rights leader who relentlessly challenged Dukakis’ moral authority (the Rev. Jesse L. Jackson Sr.).

But after reaching a rapprochement with Jackson over clam chowder and poached salmon on July 4, Dukakis lost steam. He wasted the month of August, preoccupied with how state lottery revenues would be dispersed and visiting officials across Massachusetts.

Romney will avoid many

of those errors simply by virtue of having no gubernatorial responsibilities and, in fact, no day job at all. Thus, he has none of the distractions that bedeviled Dukakis.

The national zeitgeist is different enough that he cannot even contemplate being out of sight in August. Nature has always abhorred a vacuum.

But the new physics created by social media renders the notion of a political vacuum impossible.

Romney possesses another advantage. Dukakis’ convention concluded on July 21. By that point in the campaign, he already had a running mate, Sen. Lloyd Bentsen of Texas.

Romney’s nomination won’t be conferred officially until nearly six weeks later in the calendar, which means his selection of a running mate, and his convention bump, will come later — though because the Democratic convention is only a few days after that, it may be smaller.

VP choice Both Dukakis and Romney are meticulous men, fascinated with and sometimes drowning in details, so there’s little chance the 2012 nominee will rush the selection of a vice presidential nominee like Sen. John McCain (2008) and Sen. George S. McGovern (1972) did.

Joshua M. Glasser’s new book, “The Eighteen-Day Running Mate,” is a sober reminder of the perils of summer. It is a gripping examination of how McGovern chose Thomas F. Eagleton of Missouri as his running mate without knowing the senator had undergone electroshock therapy. Eagleton was soon abandoned.

PUBLIC FORUM

Nuclear threat To the editor: Aug. 6 will be the 67th anniversary of the nuclear attack on Hiroshima, Japan. As it has done for many years, the Lawrence Coalition for Peace and Justice will sponsor a memorial vigil at 5:30 p.m. Aug. 6 at Ninth and Massachusetts streets to remember the many who died at Hiroshima but also to remind us all that nuclear weapons remain a serious threat to world safety. Despite the occasional disarmament treaties, Russia and the U.S. still maintain huge and very expensive arsenals of nuclear warheads and bombs.

This malevolent technology has spread to other countries, Pakistan being the most worrisome, and various nuclear materials left over from the Cold War remain unaccounted for or in questionable security. Our nuclear weapons certainly are no defense against terrorists.

Incidentally, the white and black rocket-like object on display at Centennial Park for many years is the shell of a Polaris missile. This was a submarine-launched missile carrying nuclear warheads with a power up to 80 times that of the Hiroshima bomb. Our Polaris missile easily could have destroyed any major city in the world and killed millions of its residents.

It is ironic that we went to Iraq

in a futile search for weapons of mass destruction but could find them right here in our town.

The next time you see our missile, think of obliterated cities, vaporized humans, burned and irradiated children.

Joe Douglas, Lawrence

Direct vote To the editor: I understand that the presidential candidates are spending all their money and putting all their efforts into the so-called swing states — those that are not red or blue. So the campaigns have nothing to do with those of us who live in solid red or blue states, which further negates the value of the voters who are in the minority of these states, e.g., a Democrat in a red/Republican state.

Under the indirect, Electoral College method of electing the president, the votes of us “colorimpaired” voters are irrelevant, meaningless. So, the majority of American voters are irrelevant to the campaign and the election of the president. But, all American voters would become essential to both the campaign and the election if we changed to a direct, popular vote to elect the president. Is this not what democracy is meant to be?

Charlie Ross, Lawrence

The choice came in a frantic 23-hour period in which names were tossed about like Wiffle balls (Yale President Kingman Brewster? Rep. Wilbur Mills? CBS anchor Walter Cronkite?). As late as 2 that afternoon — McGovern was required to submit a nominee by 4 — the focus turned to Mayor Kevin H. White of Boston. At 3 p.m.

McGovern threw out the name of Sen. Frank Church of Idaho. About 25 minutes before the deadline, Sen. Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin turned down an offer to join the ticket. Only a quarter-hour before the deadline, McGovern called Eagleton.

Some 38 seconds into the conversation between the two, McGovern aide Frank Mankiewicz picked up the telephone line and asked, “No skeletons rattling in your closet?” That was it. The vetting took one sentence and a one-word answer.

We know Romney will avoid that problem. But avoiding problems and using the next month profitably are two different things.

First he must answer some of the questions thrown his way — about his wealth, his career and his policy proposals. Then he must ask some questions of his own of Obama. One of them might be: How, Mr. President, after more than three years of your policies and your admirable concern about those struggling economically, can it be possible that the poverty rate is at levels not seen since you were a child?

A nation awaits the question, and the answer.

Haase: Vaughn hire no surprise

SUMMER SERIES • PART 7

The greatest

——

Ex-teammate says new Magic coach ‘whole package’

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Jerod Haase, the 38-yearold, first-year head coach at UAB, was out recruiting Saturday when news broke that former Kansas University backcourt-mate Jacque Vaughn had been hired to coach the NBA’s Orlando Magic at the even younger age of 37.

“I said, ‘ W o w , ’ ” Haase said in a phone interview Sunday night, asked his reaction to the San Antonio Spurs assis- Haase tant’s being named Stan Van Gundy’s replacement in Orlando.

“I’m not surprised,” Haase quickly added. “Jacque is destined for greatness. No doubt he has the whole package. He’s a great guy. He is intelligent. He gets along with people. He’ll be great.”

Haase, who like Vaughn is a 1997 KU graduate, worked on Roy Williams’ North Carolina staff for nine years prior to accepting the UAB post. Vaughn, meanwhile, played in the NBA for 12 years before retiring in 2009 and entering coaching under the tutelage of former KU volunteer assistant/Spurs legend Gregg Popovich.

“Jacque was a leader on our team. He could lead by example or lead by saying the right things,” Haase said of Vaughn, floor general on the star-studded 1996-97 team that went 34-2. “Jacque could talk to people and get the best out of them.

“We talk every once in a while, not a ton,” Haase added of his current relationship with Vaughn. “The bond we had as players is pretty strong. Our paths will cross from here on out.”

It seems fitting that Haase and Vaughn both earned their first head-coaching posts just a few months apart, considering the two were often mentioned in the same sentence during their KU days by then-Jayhawk coach Williams.

“Hopefully five, 10, 20 years from now you’ll be saying the same thing,” Haase said, responding to a reporter’s comment that, back in college, the two seemed like coaches in the making.

THE JOURNAL-WORLD STAFF SELECTIONS FOR GREATEST KANSAS UNIVERSITY ATHLETES OF ALL TIME are, clockwise from top left, Danny Manning, Ray Evans, Gale Sayers, Isaac Byrd, Todd Reesing, Lynette Woodard, Jim Ryun, Otto Schnellbacher and, in the center, unanimous pick Wilt Chamberlain.

Staff picks for KU’s all-time bests J-W Staff Reports

Throughout the summer, we’ve brought you a different set of lists from five staff members who have covered Kansas University sports at different times during the past four decades.

From fun and fantasy to favorite and ferocious, these lists have taken us back in time and highlighted some of the biggest and best names in KU sports history. Six weeks in, we’ve had great variety and something different from everyone’s memory bank each week. But this week, in the second-to-last edition of our summer series, we come in contact with the first unanimous selection.

The topic? Greatest KU athletes of all-time.

While there are some different takes and interesting picks on the lists below, one KU legend was an easy pick for all five of us.

Who? Wilt Chamberlain.

While Chamberlain made it onto all five lists because of his pure dominance, the rest of the picks varied depending on each person’s definition of greatness. That said, three other former KU athletes landed on at least three of the lists, making this edition, by far, the week with the fewest total names.

Matt Tait Wilt Chamberlain — Whenever I’m talking about Wilt and his place in the conversation about basketball’s all-time greats, one thought

always comes to mind: “They changed the rules because of this guy.” His greatness stretched far beyond athletics.

Danny Manning — Anyone who remembers watching him play knows where Manning ranks. The 1988 college player of the year capped his KU career as the men’s program’s leader in scoring and rebounding and went on to become the top pick in the NBA Draft. Also earned a spot on the 1988 U.S. Olympic team, which won a bronze medal in Seoul, South Korea.

Had he avoided injuries, Manning would have gone down as one of the top pro players of all-time, as well.

Ray Evans — An All-American in both football and basketball, Evans is often over-

looked when talking about KU’s greats. He shouldn’t be.

During the 1942 season Evans became the only player in NCAA history to lead the nation in both passing (1,117 yards), and interceptions (10), and his interception totals — which include a career mark of 17 — remain school records to this day. Not only was Evans a stud in college, but he also went on to play pro football (Pittsburgh Steelers) and basketball (New York Knicks) and also received an invite to play for the New York Yankees. He is the only player in KU history to have his jersey retired in football (42) and basketball (15).

U.S. men sloppy in rout ————

Durant has 22 in debut as Americans upend France, 98-71 LONDON (AP) — The hiccups outnumbered the highlights, and for a while the U.S. racked up fouls faster than points.

The opener wasn’t artistic.

However, it was enough — easily enough.

Kevin Durant scored 22 points in his Olympic debut, Kevin Love added 14, and LeBron James had eight assists as the American men’s basketball team overcame some sloppy moments with a 98-71 win Sunday over France.

“We know everybody

else expects us to win by 40 points,” said Carmelo Anthony. “For us, a win’s a win. We expect every game to be like this one.”

Seeking a second straight gold medal to match the redemptive one they captured in Beijing four years ago, the Americans expected a tough test from a French team featuring San Antonio guard Tony Parker and five other NBA players. And although the U.S. was never in real trouble — it only led 22-21 after one quarter — there were enough flaws (14 turnovers, 26 fouls) to keep

coach Mike Krzyzewski and his staff busy and this superstar-laden squad from feeling too comfortable.

“It wasn’t perfect,” said James, who only took six shots while setting up his teammates. “We’ve still got room for improvement. We had too many turnovers, too many fouls and we had a couple of defensive rebounds we could have come up with.

But overall, we played a pretty good game for as close to 40 minutes as possible.”

COMING TUESDAY s 4HE 3UMMER /LYMPICS CONTINUE IN ,ONDON WITH 5 3 WOMEN S BASKETBALL AND VOLLEYBALL TEAMS IN ACTION

Chiefsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Cassel brushes off boos ST. JOSEPH, MO. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; This was not the dying moment of a loss. This was a feel-good charity softball game in the middle of the summer, when everybody was feeling happy and upbeat.

Still the boos rained down on poor Matt Cassel.

A few weeks earlier, in another sign of the little regard so many in Kansas City seem to have for their quarterback, Chiefs owner Clark Hunt had publicly announced, seemingly with glee, that the team hoped to sign free agent Peyton Manning.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been the offseason of disrespect for Cassel, the summer of indignity. It must have hurt.

It had to hurt.

If it did, the perpetually sunny California native does a fine job of hid- Cassel ing all the pain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to be the same guy each and every day,â&#x20AC;? he said with an engaging grin as the Chiefs opened camp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to give you 110 percent of what I have, and some people like it, some people wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. You know what?

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to give it my all.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know why everybody beats up on the guy ... but he did take us to a playoff game.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Chiefs coach Romeo Crennel Even his harshest critics agree that Cassel has been giving it his all. Ever since Feb. 28, 2009, when brand new general manager Scott Pioli traded with New England for Tom Bradyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s backup, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a study in dedication, enthusiasm and zeal. More than once during that first offseason, head coach Todd Haley practically had to kick him out of the practice facility to go home for some much-needed down time.

In his second season in 2010, with Charlie Weis as his offensive coordinator, Jamaal Charles rushing for more than 1,450 yards and Dwayne Bowe leading NFL receivers with 15 touchdown catches, Cassel took the Chiefs to a 10-6 record and their first AFC West title since 2003. He hit 262 of 450 passes for 3,116 yards and rang up a sparkling touchdown-to-interception ratio of 27-7.

He did not play particularly well while the Baltimore Ravens pounded KC in the first round of the playoffs. But he was off to his first Pro Bowl. His career and the long-suffering Chiefs seemed to be taking wing.

Then came last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s injuryplagued disaster. Charles and several other impossible-toreplace veterans missed almost the entire season. Cassel himself made only nine starts and went on injured reserve on Nov. 21 with a hand injury.

All winter long, fans and media critics harped that the Chiefs would never reach the Super Bowl with Cassel at the helm.

Then, at Major League Baseballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s All-Star charity softball game, Cassel actually got booed as he competed with other national and local celebrities.

Critics of the 6-foot-4 Cassel say he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t throw downfield and sometimes panics, slow to process information when a play breaks down.

But leading the league in offensive coordinators probably hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t helped him grow. Officially in four years, he has had five coordinators. But that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t count the heavy hand of Haley, who strained the relationship with his

QB by constantly tinkering with plays and game-day strategy.

But Haleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gone now, fired with four games to go and now coordinating Pittsburghâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offense. Romeo Crennel, a defensive specialist, replaced him and is less likely to meddle with the offense. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know why everybody beats up on the guy, other than the fact we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t won the way everybody wants us to win,â&#x20AC;?

Crennel said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But he did take us to a playoff game. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve said before that we have to develop Mattâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consistency. I think we are going to have an opportunity to do that this year.â&#x20AC;?

Nevertheless, Cassel is having to learn yet another system. This time, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s under Brian Daboll, with whom he worked in New England. But Haley is several states away, Charles and the others are healthy and the offensive lineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been strengthened in the offseason.

Maybe Casselâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cheerful outlook is genuine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our quarterback, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to try to take us to the playoffs this year,â&#x20AC;? said Crennel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And if he can do that, then everybody will have a different view of Matt.â&#x20AC;?

LOS ANGELES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; It finally happened â&#x20AC;&#x201D; change you can almost believe in.

College football announced in June, after 144 years of pushing away the playoff porridge, that shouting matches were an insufficient way to pick a national champion. It was decided that a selection committee is the answer.

Who knew an idea so brilliant was sitting there for more than a century?

College football is hailing its progress as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;playoff,â&#x20AC;? yet it involves only four teams and three of those will probably hail from the Southeastern Conference.

Fear not, a panel of experts superior to those on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Got Talentâ&#x20AC;? will do due diligence in carefully choosing the Chosen Four.

Outlier programs such as Houston, Hawaii or Akron will be free to slip their resumes under the meeting-room door while they are delivering room service.

The Bowl Championship Series, evil incarnate since 1998, when it tried to ruin the sport by matching the top two teams in a title game, is an epitaph.

Just think: no more rat traps like the Rose Bowl hosting, in prime time, national title games.

This is all fine and Vandy except for a terrible truth: the BCS isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dead yet.

What?

The new â&#x20AC;&#x153;playoffâ&#x20AC;? will not begin until 2014, which means two more years of the BCS. Imagine a surgeon being allowed to practice two years after the AMA barred him for botching amputations.

But, you know, a contract is a contract.

Mark the last game of the BCS era: Jan. 7, 2014, one more time in the Rose Bowl, just for old timeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sake.

Think of the zaniness two more years of the BCS might offer. How about another fivealarm controversy?

Maybe USC and Oklahoma can end up statistically tied for No. 2 in the BCS standings and the spot will have to be decided by rock-paper-scissors.

Maybe a senator will threaten a filibuster if his alma mater is snubbed from a major bowl.

Most important: Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still time for someone to threaten a lawsuit.

JIMMIE JOHNSON PLANTS A KISS ON THE YARD OF BRICKS after winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Brickyard 400 on Sunday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Indianapolis.

Jimmie Johnson kisses Indy bricks for fourth time INDIANAPOLIS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jimmie Johnson stamped another exclamation point on his racing rĂŠsumĂŠ, winning his fourth career Brickyard 400 with a dominant drive at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Sunday.

With the victory, Johnson joined Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jeff Gordon as the only NASCAR drivers to win four times at the historic 2.5-mile track, which has hosted stock car racing since 1994. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Four wins? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m at a loss for words,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said in victory lane.

Kyle Busch finished second, followed by Greg Biffle, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Gordon.

Polesitter Denny Hamlin was sixth.

It was a rough day for Matt Kenseth, who came into Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race with the Sprint Cup Series points lead but was taken out of the race in a late collision with Joey Logano.

Johnson also won the Brickyard in 2006, 2008 and 2009.

The victory puts Johnson among some legendary names in the historic trackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s record books.

Gordon is the only other four-time Brickyard 400 winner. Only three drivers have won four Indianapolis 500s: A.J. Foyt, Al Unser Sr. and Rick Mears; Mears was one of Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s racing heroes growing up.

Piercy wins at Canadian Open ANCASTER, ONTARIO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Four straight birdies put Scott Piercy into the mix early. One big par at the end made him a winner Sunday at the Canadian Open.

Piercy won for the second time in his career when he closed with a 3-under 67, and William McGirt and Robert Garrigus stumbled on the closing stretch at Hamilton Golf & Country Club to finish a stroke back.

Couples caps Senior Brit Open TURNBERRY, SCOTLAND â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Fred Couples won the Senior British Open, birdieing the final two holes for a two-stroke victory over Gary Hallberg on Turnberryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ailsa Course.

Couples, making his first start in the event, closed with a 3-under 67 for a 9-under 271 total.

Hallberg finished with a 66.

The 52-year-old Couples won the Mississippi Gulf Resort Classic in March and has eight Champions Tour titles. He won 15 times on the PGA Tour, including the 1992 Masters.

Park tops Evian Masters by 2 COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Arkansas St. dismisses Dyer JONESBORO, ARK. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Former Auburn running back Michael Dyer has been dismissed from the Arkansas State squad for violating team rules.

Arkansas State coach Gus Malzahn announced the decision Sunday, saying: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am truly disappointed that it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work out here at ASU for Mike. I wish Mike nothing but the best in the future.â&#x20AC;?

The offensive MVP as a freshman in Auburnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s victory over Oregon in the 2011 national championship game, wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t eligible to play this season for the Red Wolves after the NCAA denied his request to play immediately.

Dyer transferred to Arkansas State in January after he was suspended indefinitely by Auburn coach Gene Chizik for violating unspecified team rules before the Chick-fil-A Bowl.

He was the first Tigers tailback to rush for more than 1,000 yards in each of his first two seasons, including a school-record 1,093-yard performance as a freshman. Dyer rushed for 1,242 yards and 10 touchdowns last season.

Malzahn, Dyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offensive coordinator at Auburn, helped recruit Dyer to the Tigers before being hired by the Red Wolves after last season.

EVIAN-LES-BAINS, FRANCE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; South Koreaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Inbee Park won the Evian Masters, closing with a 6-under 66 for a two-stroke victory over thirdround leader Stacy Lewis and Karrie Webb.

Park, also the 2008 U.S. Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Open winner, had a 17-under 271 total.

Webb shot a 68, and Lewis finished with a 68.

Kohles closed with a 1-under 70 to match Guthrie at 12-under 272 on Ohio Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Scarlet Course. Guthrie birdied three of the final five holes in regulation for a 66.

Royals rally, but get swept SEATTLE (AP) — The Kansas City Royals are happy to be leaving the West Coast and done with the Seattle Mariners until next season.

Felix Hernandez shook off a line drive to his left wrist and threw seven strong innings, and the Mariners overcame bullpen problems to beat the Royals, 7-6, on Sunday for a four-game sweep.

It was the second time this season the Royals were swept in a four-game series and the first time Seattle has done it against Kansas City since May 2001. The sweep in Seattle concluded a miserable 1-6 West Coast swing for the Royals and a 1-7 stretch overall against the Mariners since the All-Star break.

“It’s like every day one facet of our game is costing us and it’s just the way it’s been, especially in this series,” Royals slugger Billy Butler said. “Everybody in here can account for their reasons of losing each game, and one side of each day is coming up short, and we just got to figure it out.”

Hernandez was on pace for his sixth straight win, giving up just five hits and two runs. But he lost out on that chance when the Mariners’ bullpen gave up three runs in the eighth.

As they did previously in the series, the Mariners’ bats answered immediately. Mike Carp opened the eighth with his third hit, a double that hit the wall in left with a thud. Munenori Kawasaki came on as a pinch-runner, and Trayvon Robinson laid down a perfect sacrifice up the third-base line.

Reliever Jose Mijares (2-2) fielded the bunt, but his throw was rushed, and the ball rolled into foul ter-

“The best thing is, I don’t have to go against him. He’s in the NBA ...

The best part is he and I have never lost a game,” Haase added with a laugh.

“These are the types of games you’re glad you’re the home team and get those final at-bats,” Seattle manager Eric Wedge said.

“Ultimately, we had some guys step up late.”

While Kansas City struggled to get anything going against Hernandez they did find ways to rally off Seattle’s bullpen in the eighth and pulled even at 5-5. Lucas Luetge started the eighth for Seattle with a strikeout and was replaced by Brandon League, who gave up three hits and three runs while recording just one out. Alcides Escobar singled, and one out later Butler drove him home with a single.

Salvador Perez added another single, and League

was pulled in favor of Oliver Perez.

Eric Hosmer stepped in, and after a wild pitch from Perez (1-2) advanced the runners, Hosmer singled to left to drive in the pair and tie the game.

“I fell behind there, I was just trying to shorten it up and put it in play there and luckily one got through the hole and we scored two,” Hosmer said.

“But this one hurt, we needed to win this game.

It’s a tough road trip for us but a good off day tomorrow, get things going at home.”

The Royals added another run in the ninth off Seattle closer Tom Wilhelmsen on Escobar’s groundout that scored Jarrod Dyson, but Lorenzo Cain struck out to end it.

“To get the run in the ninth and then have the ty-

first July recruiting evaluation period.

“It was just awesome,” Haase said of a couple weeks of July on the road.

“I am totally worn out, but the progress we’re making as a staff is unreal.”

It was recently announced that UAB had signed a three-year agreement to play Williams’ Tar Heels.

The first and third games will be played in Chapel Hill, N.C., the sec-

ond in Birmingham, Ala., home of UAB. “For my position now, it’s a great deal,” Haase said. “Our fans are excited. I think it’s important for us to play big games.”

Haase said it would be a thrill to be able to work out a game or series of games against his beloved alma mater.

“I would love to do it,” Haase said. “I don’t know what it’d take, but I’ll try to work on that.”

ing run on second, shows signs of life from our offense, and I’m pleased with that,” Royals manager Ned Yost said.

Even though Hernandez didn’t get the decision, his performance Sunday continued a brilliant six weeks of pitching from the 2010 AL Cy Young Award winner.

Hernandez hasn’t lost since June 12 and has allowed a combined 12 earned runs over his last 671⁄3 innings.

His ERA has plummeted from 3.70 to 2.79 over the last nine starts.

Hernandez got a scare in the fourth when he hung a 3-2 breaking ball to Hosmer that was lined back up the middle and off the inside of the righthander’s left hand near his wrist. Hernandez grimaced in discomfort, but he never left the field.

Phenix-Fyler finishes in fourth J-W Staff Reports

ROCKFORD, ILL. — The Lawrence Phenix-Fyler softball team capped its summer season with a fourth-place finish Sunday at the 18-and-under USSSA Central Region Class B World Series.

The Phenix had hoped to repeat after winning the tournament title in Tulsa, Okla., last year, but the

Northern Illinois Thunder eliminated Lawrence, 3-0, in an early-morning game.

The Thunder plated three runs in the first inning, though Phenix starting pitcher Cori Munoz held the team scoreless the rest of the way as she threw a complete game.

Munoz and Rachel Potvin were named to the alltournament team.

Phenix coach Randy Fy-

ler said his staff felt that Jasmine Benning, Maddie Potvin and Whitney Rothwell were also among the top performers at the tournament, where Lawrence went 6-2 against teams from Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri and Nebraska.

“We enjoyed it,” Fyler said. “Everyone was disappointed, but (a tournament official) said how it is — just like the NCAA

Tournament, there’s only one team that’s going away happy. Everyone else ends the season with a loss, but it was a good season.”

The Phenix finished the summer season with a 30-10 record. Fyler said the team will play in the fall, but players’ academic and athletic commitments likely will shorten competition to just one or two tournaments.

choice will probably be more easily accepted 20 years from now, but I’m not afraid to include him today. Reesing singlehandedly elevated the KU football program to new heights and figures to own all of KU’s major passing records for a long, long time. Few Jayhawks — in any sport — have been the kind of must-see attraction Reesing was every Saturday.

Andrew Hartsock Otto Schnellbacher — The “Double Threat from Sublette” led KU’s basketball team in scoring two years — and five years apart, 1943 and 1948 — was a four-time first-team all-league hoops pick, and, oh yeah, was KU’s first football All-American who went on to be a twotime Pro Bowler.

Isaac Byrd — Byrd was drafted in baseball twice — out of high school and after his junior year at KU — and had a short minorleague baseball career, but he chose to pursue a job in pro football, returned to KU and was drafted into the NFL, where he played six seasons, including a start in Super Bowl XXXIV. Lynette Woodard — A four-time All-American, Woodard averaged 26 points per game and remains college women’s basketball all-time scoring leader at 3,649 career points. She was a two-time Olympian and captain of the USA’s first gold-medal-winning Olympic team in 1984. She also was the first female Harlem Globetrotter.

Wilt Chamberlain — This is the third time I’ve picked Chamberlain for this summer series, but I swear it’s not part of some posthumous bromance, nor is it the result of the fact a large framed print of Wilt hangs above my desk at work (I swear, I didn’t put it there). I simply can’t think of any Jayhawk more worthy of any bestof award. Wilt was, simply put, transcendent.

If he played today, Wilt still would be ahead of his time.

Jim Ryun — Although he didn’t amass the Olympic medals that discus-thrower Al Oerter, Ryun did as much as any American in history to give track and field a high profile. He mastered the mile, the greatest of all individual sporting events, with a signature kick and did it with the word “KANSAS” splashed across his chest. If not for the “Wizard of Oz” being such a big hit on the big screen, it’s possible every person outside the state would feel obliged to make a Jim Ryun reference every single time Kansas becomes the topic of conversation.

Lynette Woodard — The answer to the oftenused tricky trivia question — who is the leading scorer in Kansas basketball history — Woodard has kept her distance from Kansas women’s basketball in recent years, which is a crying shame.

Danny Manning — The way Magic Johnson played point guard in a power forward’s body influenced many, many players who followed him. Even as long ago as Manning played, he remains the best illustration of a big man influenced

by Magic. He is the leading scorer and rebounder in Kansas men’s basketball history and had 20 30-point scoring games in his final two seasons, but passing the ball is what Manning did best. His vision was remarkable.

As remarkable as he was physically, so strong for a man his build, so agile, fluid, coordinated for a man his height, Manning’s mental abilities surpassed his physical gifts on the basketball court.

Jesse Newell Wilt Chamberlain — A shoo-in; one of the greatest basketball players of all time.

Gale Sayers — A shooin; one of the best running backs of all time.

Lynette Woodard — The greatest women’s athlete in KU history and was the first woman to play with the Harlem Globetrotters.

Jim Ryun — Hard to go Tom Keegan without Danny Manning, Wilt Chamberlain — but Ryun completes the Length and strength, list after setting numerous grace and style, he re- world records. mains one of the greatest athletes of all-time. His Gary Bedore Wilt Chamberlain — basketball talent was too enormous for the rules as Revolutionized the game.

Danny Manning — He they were written, so the rules were re-written to could do it all. He was give the rest of the world a great passer and team a fighting chance. The player. Maybe even too lane was widened. Offen- unselfish.

Dear Annie: My husband spends too much time on the Internet and then gets upset when I say so. Several months ago, I caught him talking to a woman online, and I’m worried it’s happening again. In spite of my suspicions, however, when I’ve checked his activity, I see nothing. (I realize he could be deleting things.)

Last night, we went out for dinner, and we weren’t in the door five minutes before he was standing in the bedroom with his tablet in his hands checking his email. When I tell him I’d like him to spend more time with me instead of his computer, he gets angry. What can I do? — My Husband Doesn’t Listen to Me Dear Listen to Me: Are you objecting because your husband is addicted to his computer or because you think he is using it to cheat? Our

concern is that he becomes angry when you broach the subject. This defensiveness is a way to protect his behavior.

If you simply want more of his attention, first determine whether you are being too clingy, and then find effective ways to distract him. However, if you simply don’t trust him, that is a more serious issue, and we recommend counseling — with or without him.

Dear Annie: I used to have a lot of friends, and then I went through a major depression. I tried

HBO looks behind the runway You’d think a documentary called “About Face: Supermodels, Then and Now” (8 p.m., HBO) might be superficial. But this surprisingly entertaining and provocative film tackles the subjects of aging, beauty, racism and gender while revisiting some of the most famous faces of the past 70 years.

The film opens with an extended profile of Carmen Dell’Orefice, famous for being the world’s oldest working model. She’s been a fashion model since the late 1940s and first made the cover of Vogue magazine when she was 15. After turning 80 last year, she appeared in fashion shows for spring and summer 2012 collections.

She doesn’t mind being a part of fashion and modeling history and is old enough to remember when most “proper” people considered models to be little more than prostitutes.

The film interviews models as diverse as Jerry Hall, the daughter of a Texas truck-driver, and Marisa Berenson, whose grandmother, fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli, fumed when she became a mere model.

No conversation about aging and beauty is complete without mentioning plastic surgery and the decision to have “work” done. Dell’Orefice likens the procedures to having a fallen ceiling repaired. Isabella Rossellini scoffs at surgery as submission to male misogyny. Paulina Porizkova dismisses surgery as ridiculous, theorizing that youthful beauty is necessary to attract “fertile young men,” something she’s no longer in the market for.

She also observes that there is nothing so attractive in a woman as confidence, and nothing indicates a lack of confidence more than Botox.

With three episodes of “The Closer” (8 p.m., TNT) left, Brenda continues to find plenty of ways to explain a sudden exit from the force. Tonight she tangles with a higher power when church officials get in the way of investigating a priest’s murder. And it doesn’t help when her brash manner disrespects Pope (J.K. Simmons).

Tonight’s other highlights

Tonight’s scheduled events at the 2012 Summer Olympics (7 p.m., NBC) include swimming, diving, gymnastics and beach volleyball.

Michelle suspects a thief in the troupe on “Bunheads” (8 p.m., ABC Family).

SCOREBOARD

OLYMPICS ROUNDUP

Wieber can’t qualify; Phelps-Lochte relay 2nd LONDON (AP) — Highlights from Olympic action Sunday:

Gymnastics The U.S. women had the top score in qualifying, but the big story was world champion Jordyn Wieber.

Wieber, a heavy favorite, is out of the all-around competition after finishing behind teammates Aly Raisman and Gabby Douglas.

Countries are limited to two gymnasts in the allaround and event finals.

The 17-year-old Wieber was sobbing as she made her way past reporters, so distraught she couldn’t speak to them. A quote attributed to her and distributed by the London Games’ internal news agency said: “It is a bit of a disappointment. It has always been a dream of mine to compete in the all-around final of the Olympics.”

Russia, runner-up to the Americans at last year’s world championships, was 1.4 points back with a score of 180.429. Beijing Olympics champion China was third (176.637), followed by European champion Romania (176.264) and Britain (170.656).

Swimming This was one sweet victory for France.

Yannick Agnel rallied the French to the gold medal in the 4x100-meter freestyle relay, pulling ahead of American star Ryan Lochte on the final lap.

France clocked 3 minutes, 9.93 seconds, and the Americans settled for silver in 3:10.38. Russia took bronze in 3:11.41. Pre-race favorite Australia was fourth.

It was revenge for the French, who lost a close race to the Americans in Beijing four years ago.

U.S. star Michael Phelps still won the 17th Olympic medal of his career — and first silver — to go along with 14 golds and two bronzes. He’s one away from tying the mark for most career medals held

by Soviet gymnast Larisa Latynina.

Dana Vollmer had a triumphant return to the Olympics, setting a world record while winning gold in the 100 butterfly. The American was third at the turn but powered to the wall for a time of 55.98 seconds.

Vollmer, who made the Olympics as a 16-year-old in 2004, was a huge disappointment when she failed to make the team for Beijing in 2008.

U.S. men CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

Kobe Bryant had said this team could beat the 1992 Dream Team that changed international hoops forever at the Barcelona Games. That matchup is mythical, but the London Games aren’t and this U.S. team will have to play much better in upcoming games if it plans to maintain American dominance.

Afterward, Parker, who nearly missed these games after undergoing surgery for a freak eye injury, didn’t want to concede anything to the Ameri-

COACH JENNY ZHANG CONSOLES U.S. GYMNAST JORDYN WIEBER as she cries after failing to qualify for the women’s all-around finals during the Artistic Gymnastics qualification at the 2012 Summer Olympics, Sunday in London.

Camille Muffat of France edged American Allison Schmitt by less than half a stroke to win the 400 freestyle, and South Africa’s Cameron van der Burgh set a world record to win the 100 breaststroke.

Skeet Shooting Kimberly Rhode also put on a show at the Royal Artillery Barracks, winning the gold medal in women’s skeet shooting to become the first American to take an individual-sport medal in five consecutive Olympics.

Rhode tied the world record and set an Olympic mark with 99 points. She also set an Olympic record in qualifying, missing only one of her 75 shots.

Tennis Maria Sharapova won her Olympic debut indoors, beating Shahar Peer of Israel 6-2, 6-0, and Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray and David Ferrer were among the seeded winners on the men’s side at Wimbledon.

Playing under Wimbledon’s retractable roof on Centre Court because of rain, No. 3 Sharapova served well, returned aggressively and swept the final eight games.

Sharapova carried the Russian flag in the opening ceremony after missing the 2008 Olympics because of a shoulder injury.

Play was curtailed because of rain, with 32 matches postponed before they started and four suspended in progress. Only 12 matches were completed.

Volleyball So far, so good for the defending champion U.S. men’s team, which opened Olympic play by sweeping

Basketball Pau Gasol had 21 points and 11 rebounds to lead Spain to a 97-81 victory over China in their Olympic men’s opener.

Argentina kicked off its quest for a third straight men’s basketball medal with a 102-79 victory over Lithuania. Luis Scola scored 32 points, and Manu Ginobili had 21 points, 10 rebounds and six assists.

Weightlifting North Korea’s Om Yun Chol said he wanted to lift a big weight and make the other athletes nervous.

He definitely nailed that strategy.

Om, standing all of 5 feet and 123 pounds, won a gold medal by confidently lifting an Olympic-record 370 pounds in the clean and jerk at the London Games.

Only a handful of people have lifted more than three times their body weight, and this one came out of nowhere.

Simple tips for busy families Olympian mom relates to families on the move FAMILY FEATURES

Z

ipping around from one family activity to the next can be fun, but it requires a plan in order to juggle the busy schedule.

“Like so many parents, it can be a challenge to keep my active family organized, especially on the go,” says Olympic gold medal figure skater and mom of two Kristi Yamaguchi. “I am thrilled to share with other moms and dads my favorite tips for unstoppable families.”

When a busy day has you skating from one activity to the next, it’s important to be prepared. Bring along a backpack with everything you might need for your on-the-go day, including handheld snacks, like bananas and sandwiches; water; sunscreen; and easy activities for down time.

2

Unstoppable families are always on the move. Post a large calendar in the kitchen or family room to capture and keep track of your family’s weekly activities. Assign a different color marker to each member of the family. This will help keep everyone on time and in line.

3

Let the games go green! Encourage creativity by finding ways to repurpose everyday items into fun activities. A drinking straw and some ribbon becomes a magic wand. Two painted paper towel rolls can become a pair of backyard binoculars. Reuse magazines to make colorful collages and other fun art projects.

4

Sometimes fast-paced weekdays leave little time for family fun.

Set aside time each weekend to enjoy the outdoors and each other’s company.

Plan hiking trips and bike riding adventures that will appeal to everyone.

Special to the Journal-World

KRISTI YAMAGUCHI, AN OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST in figure skating, spends time with her daughters, Emma and Keara, and husband Bret Hedican, an ice hockey player and two-time Olympian.

Put together a “scavenger list” with fun things to look for along the way like a yellow flower, a white cat, a big bug and other outdoor items.

5

Have a little fun while on the run.

Store books, games, markers and paper in the car to keep kids entertained on the road or in between events. Also, make sure to have some kid-friendly tunes to keep the kids singing from your driveway to the soccer field.

6

Ask around at your local community center or health club about family fitness classes. Try an aerobics or swimming class as a family; it will be a great way to stay active and spend time together.

Like the title of my book “Dream Big Little Pig,” I always teach my kids they can accomplish anything with practice and perseverance. Encourage your kids to try their best at every activity they pursue and explore their interests no matter how sky-high.

You might be raising an award-winning

musician or the future president of the United States.

Think outside the toy box when it comes to family activities. An old blanket quickly transforms into a magic carpet when spread across the living room floor. Couch cushions and bed sheets always make the best forts. A simple flashlight becomes a projector for shadow puppets in a dark playroom. Use soccer balls, hula hoops and other everyday items to create a fun obstacle course in the backyard.

9

My family spends a lot of time on the ice, and it has shown us the importance of teamwork. Encourage your kids to join a local soccer or basketball team. They’ll have fun while learning team-building skills.

Don’t let a rainy day dampen your outdoor plans. Pitch a small tent in the living room and have a “camp in” complete with a construction paper campfire and sleeping bags. Weather the storms outside with tall tales shared over campfire treats.

Longevity proves everybody loves a clown

BY CHANSI LONG ONLINE: Watch a video of Richard Renner describing his job at LJWorld.com

I

f Richard Renner were to craft a resume, under skill summary would be the following: juggling, pantomime, unicycling, rope-walking, stilt-walking and acrobatics.

As the Vodvill Klown, Renner does a one-man show at fairs and festivals peppered throughout the country.

It’s an act he’s polished over a 30-year career.

And he has always had to generate his own success because there aren’t a lot of companies that advertise for clowns. The upshot is that not many people specialize in prat falls either, making Renner a valuable commodity whenever a circus act is needed.

The question you can’t help but ask after seeing a 55year old man don a clown nose — or better yet, a dress, a wig and pair of bifocals and then totter about on a pair of stilts — is, how exactly does one become a clown?

1. You like vaudeville. Charlie Chaplin. W.C. Fields.

Dick Van Dyke. Red Skelton. These are your influences.

You admire them, you watch them relentlessly, and you imitate them to make your mom laugh.

2. You develop an early interest in acting, then chase that interest in college by making it your major.

3. You graduate college and undergo an existential crisis when you realize that, damn, everyone wants to be an actor.

4. You say the heck with it and give it go by doing your own thing. You accumulate skills: Juggling.

Unicycling. Mime. You train yourself to be the funny man. You don’t just become the person people gravitate to at parties. You become the person they pay to be there.

“Since I learned to juggle, I felt immensely confident in just about everything,” Renner said. “All these useless skills they don’t teach you how to get a job with, I started doing. People ask me, how did you learn all of this? And I tell them by hanging out with the wrong people. Unemployed performers, in other words.”

Renner started picking up skills and gigs in the 1980s, when the New Vaudeville movement revived circus acts by giving them a modern twist. New Vaudeville performers scrapped the makeup (Renner wears a clown nose, on occasion, but never makeup, relying on the physical stunts he does to generate laughter), but kept the creativity.

The New Vaudeville movement was so big in the ‘80s, Renner was overwhelmed with performance requests. So overwhelmed he created his own talent company, linking people to performers for a fee.

The Vodvill Entertainment Company is a talent agency that specializes in unique people with useless skills: fire eating, sword swallowing, juggling and magic.

It’s these same sort of performers that Renner rallies each year for Lawrence Busker Festival, a street performing festival he organizes downtown every year, set this year for Aug. 24-26. Renner got the idea for it after shuf-

According to Renner, the difference between a street performer and a panhandler is easy: a true street performer will attract several hundred people. With this in mind, Renner thought, Let’s do that. Let’s get the real street performers out here and please the crowd.

For a few years, Renner organized Busker Fest without netting a penny.

“When I got started in this, it was never for the money,” said Renner. “My favorite moments usually happen in the middle of Saturday at the Busker Fest and … I see all these people everywhere … and they all have a program in their hand and they’re saying, ‘Let’s go do this, let’s go do that,’ and I see these big crowds at the shows, and it’s usually at that moment that I say, ‘Yeah, I’m going to do this again.’”

Seven years ago at the Smoky Hill River Festival in Sa-

lina, Renner felt an encouraging moment in his own performing career. It was a rainy day in June and Renner was mentally recovering from a divorce that had finalized the month before. He was feeling vulnerable in every way.

But he was still performing.

That day he was doing his one-man act in a tent when a downpour started. People started to dart inside to avoid getting wet.

“Everyone came in to see me, whether they wanted to or not,” Renner said. “I knew I had a bigger job to do to reach out to all those people from my little spot on the stage. I don’t know what happened, but everything I did worked out perfectly. Every movement I made, every noise I made, they got. They laughed. And at the end I felt like my heart was just blown open because of their reaction.

“I didn’t know what was going on in my life but … the only times I’ve ever felt like I’ve known what I was doing is when I was performing. Everything else has just been improvisation.”

EVERYDAY BRITS TAKE PART IN GAMES

BY EILEEN RODDY

B

RAUNTON, DEVON, ENGLAND — Olympic hopes and dreams aren’t restricted to athletes, medals or those who can afford tickets.

As 8,000 torchbearers carry the Olympic flame through 1,019 United Kingdom villages, towns and cities, and 70,000 volunteers prepare to serve at Olympic venues, hundreds of inspirational stories have emerged. Even initial cynics like me have been moved.

When I watched London’s successful Olympic bid televised in July 2005 from the comfort of my Lawrence home, I was pretty skeptical. Having worked in London for over 30 years, fought my way through endless daily traffic jams — the 3-miles-in-one-hour type — crowded buses and tubes, I thought the Olympics would be an organizational disaster and the last thing London needed.

Besides expensive travel and tickets, overbearing crowds and obsessive media hype, I felt it would be way too much. Better to park myself on my Lawrence sofa, under air-conditioning, and watch the games on TV as a neutral observer. Ha! Ha! Neutral my foot.

Through happy circumstances, I find myself temporarily in England, and despite being unable to afford tickets and London (increased price) accommodation, I’ve been caught up in Olympic excitement through free events, and touched by extraordinary stories of ordinary people and historic moments across the British Isles before a medal’s even been won.

I’ve gasped in awe at the lowering of the giant Olympic rings from Tower Bridge, the altophobic torchbearer standing atop the London Eye, and cried unashamedly as the torch — a symbol of peace, unity and hope — was carried across the Peace Bridge in my formerly war-torn hometown Derry, Northern Ireland.

At 8:12 a.m. Friday morning, I shivered (not from the weather) in a Devon churchyard as the church bells rang, pealing in unison with bells across the U.K., including those of Derry’s Protestant and Catholic cathedrals that have synchronized their bells for a historic first. Olympic hopes and dreams beyond medals.

Grandmother Linda Copp, 66, from Torrington, Devon, also remembers the 2005 Olympic announcement.

“I thought it’d be wonderful to visit London for the games but knew it was beyond my reach since it was cost-prohibitive and I don’t have a car,” she explains.

FORMER BRITISH OLYMPIC ATHLETE DENISE LEWIS holds up the 2012 Olympic Games relay torch as it is unveiled June 8, 2011, in central London. The torch for the 2012 London Olympics is a golden aluminum tube featuring a lace-like mesh with 8,000 holes that represent the number of bearers and how many miles it traveled in the 70-day relay across Britain. The London games began Friday.

On a whim, she responded to a bus advert appealing for 70,000 Olympic volunteers and was astounded to be chosen from over 250,000 applicants.

She’s now a Games Maker, as the volunteers are called. She’ll work nine 7-hour shifts (three of them starting at 6:15 a.m.) over a 10-day period at the shooting venue in Woolwich, London.

Like all Games Makers, including medical staff, she’s paid her own travel and accommodation expenses, and taken unpaid (or vacation) leave.

“It’s inspiring to see Games Makers of all ages and from all walks of life, and wonderful so many older people like me have been given the opportunity to be an integral part of the Olympics,” she says.

“For me, it’s an impossible dream come true.”

Copp was moved to see her whole community turn out for the torch’s journey through Torrington.

Anne Tattersall, former Torrington

mayor, says, “I’d absolutely no interest in the Olympics and only went uptown to support the torchbearers. I couldn’t believe how moved I was. In some strange way, I felt I became part of Olympic history.”

Such comments echo many made throughout the country as the torch made its way to the Opening Ceremony.

Christine Westlake, 55, from Devon, who will carry the Paralympic torch, nominated her 86-year-old dad, Tony Hill, retired farmer and former amateur athlete, as a torchbearer. Hill had been Somerset’s selection to carry the 1948 Games torch, but he developed appendicitis.

“To be on the operating table instead of carrying the Olympic torch was especially disappointing,” he admits.

He relived the disappointment when the 2012 Olympics were announced.

“I wanted my dad’s broken dream to be restored,” states Westlake.

Since 90 percent of nominations came

from the general public, Westlake didn’t hold out much hope. She was delighted when her dad was chosen to carry the Olympic flame through Barnstaple, Devon.

“It’s such a blessing for me to see my father achieve a dream broken 64 years ago,” says Westlake.

Her father’s thrilled.

“It’s a special honor for me,” he says.

“I was nervous, but everybody was very friendly and helpful. The spirit of friendship amongst the torchbearers was terrific.

The youngest was a lovely, polite 12-year old lad, and I was (one of) the oldest.

“I was also amazed at the number of people — seven to eight deep in places — who lined the streets to watch. It was an amazing atmosphere and something I’ll never forget.”

Goodbye, sofa. I’ll be on my feet cheering U.S., British and Irish Olympians as well as those who’ve made it possible to include the rest of us on the Olympic journey.

Red, white and blue crafts can show Olympic spirit

BY JENNIFER FORKER, ASSOCIATED PRESS

F

or artsy types, the Olympics are an opportunity — to make crafts.

After all, “you have this hunk of time,” says Nancy Niero, 56, of Denver, who has a 20-year tradition of working on quilts to keep her hands busy while watching the Olympics. This year she’ll be finishing up her sixth quilt. “You’re going to watch the TV” anyhow, she says. “Why not craft?”

There are a variety of easy projects in red, white and blue to show support for Team USA. From scarves to bracelets, they’re easy enough to do while also watching the athletes.

Laura Garofalo, 34, of Macomb, Mich., weaves bracelets out of colorful plastic lacing — a simple project she learned years ago at summer camp. She recommends making bracelets in red, white and blue, or any other team colors, and using the Rexlace craft lacing brand, which isn’t too stretchy. It’s sold at some national crafts stores and online.

Garofalo uses 14 feet of craft lace and the “cobra” stitch to make one bracelet from 7 inches to 9 inches long. Instructions for making the cobra and other stitches are available online at the Rexlace Club. Garofalo attaches the bracelets with six or seven links of gold-textured chain, which she buys online at M&J Trimming.

Each bracelet ought to take a novice about an hour to make, she says. Pictures are at her Etsy.com store, shopelletta.

Stephanie Ciaglo of Waterford, Wis., will knit while watching the Summer Games.

“I have a double-wide chaise lounge that fits two,” says Ciaglo, 37. “The other spot, for the other person, is filled with yarn.”

Ciaglo recommends fashioning a patriotic “fringie” scarf, which involves pulling, tying and knotting a mass of yarn together.

Nearly anyone can make one, she says, and they’re great for using leftover yarn. She makes them in red, white and blue during the Olympics. See fiber and color combinations at Ciaglo’s Etsy shop, Rock, Paper, Scissors, Etc. Ciaglo recommends using at least 12 to 15 yarns of varying colors, textures and thicknesses, and adding ribbon for more contrast. After deciding on the scarf’s length, add 3 inches for each knot that’s needed to hold the fibers together. A long scarf will need three knots (starting in the center), while shorter scarves will require only two, she says.

A “FRINGIE” SCARF by Stephanie Ciaglo, of Waterford, Wisc., made in red, white and blue to display Team USA spirit during the Olympic Games, is shown.

Ciaglo sells her scarves at Rock, Paper, Scissors, Etc., an Etsy.com store.

Cut yarns to a similar length, and knot the strands together. Trim longer fibers but keep them uneven to add interest. Wrap, drape and style as you would any scarf.

Jodi Levine, a crafts editor at Martha Stewart Living magazine, plans to decorate canvas tote bags with fabric markers and paint with her sons during the games.

She also recommends inviting friends over for viewing parties and serving freshbaked cookies decorated to resemble medals. Another easy snack: Dip pretzel rods in melted semisweet chocolate or white chocolate, then cover in red, white and blue sprinkles. Refrigerate about five minutes until firm, and present them standing upright in a glass for colorful flair.

Levine suggests tie-dying T-shirts in patriotic colors to wear while watching the games. Use a dye kit — the traditional method — or use Sharpie pens and rubbing alcohol for less mess. Martha Stewart shows how at her website, Marthastewart. com. The Sharpie tie-dye “bleeds in a really cool pattern,” Levine says, and adds creative fun to a party.

A nighttime craft that’s fun for kids is “painting” pictures in the sky using glow sticks. Wear dark clothing and turn off the camera flash. Then it’s just experimentation, and trial and error.

To make an American flag, for instance, requires the hands of three people — each with one color — working at the same time, Levine says. Or for something simpler, try photographing red, white and blue stars, squiggles and circles.

Dating in the time of technology Dr. Wes: I’m often asked how different dating is today than it was in the 1980s or ‘90s. I usually reply, “Very.”

By that I mean that kids just don’t couple these days like they used to. I may sound like I’m waxing philosophic about those good old days of yore that always end up being more legend than reality, but the facts are pretty clear.

Culturally, the idea of sex within a relationship, let alone marriage, has become a bit quaint.

While there are still many couples attempting what I call “radical monogamy” by dating exclusively for long periods of time, the zeitgeist among today’s youth is to hook up more casually. The measure for those experiences tends to be how “random” they are, meaning expectable (a good friend, someone from your social circle or at least someone you’ve met) or quite unexpected (someone else’s partner, a coworker or someone you just met at a party while wearing the cloudy goggles of drink and exuberance).

To my way of thinking, this does more than just expose young people to emotional and sexual risk. It changes how we couple and commit. It creates what Fight Club’s “Narrator” referred to over a decade ago as “single-serving friends” — someone you meet once and use up.

Perhaps it’s the hopeless romantic in me yearning to break free, but I long for a time when sexuality and love and even a bit of spirituality all got rolled up into something really special. My advice to young people has always been, “Shoot for that. That’s the good stuff.” And it will be forever.

On a recent Up to Date with Steve Kraske radio show, we discussed evolving dating patterns among teens and young

Double TAKE

IN PERSON Join Dr. Wes and 2012-13 Double Take co-author Katie Guyot at 6:30 p.m. Aug. 9 at the Plaza Branch of the Kansas City Public Library, 4801 Main St., Kansas City, Mo., to discuss the Double Take Column, “Dear Dr. Wes: Real Life Advice for Parents of Teens” and “Real Life Advice for Teens,” and trends in parenting teens.

DR. WES CRENSHAW AND MIRANDA DAVIS

Miranda: I can’t speak too much about dating 20 years ago, but I do know about dating today.

The most defining characteristic would have to be the use of technology. The way we communicate in all of our relationships, especially dating, has been altered by it.

We tweet about our relationship woes, we text instead of talk face-to-face, and our generation coined the term “Facebook official” to decide when a relationship is real.

While I love technology, it would be nice to go back in time and live when society wasn’t completely dependent on it.

The movie “He’s Just Not That into You” says it pretty well. One character, who continues to get rejected via social networking, says, “I miss the days when you had one phone number and one answering machine, and that one answering machine had one cassette tape, and that one cassette tape either had a message from a guy or it didn’t.”

Instead, dating today is far too much

adults, as we have in this column many times over the years. That sparked an idea for a show in September on the same subject, this time including late teens and young adults who’d like to give their candid appraisal of how sex and love are expressed nowadays.

If you’re 16 to 23, comfortable offering your opinions and perspectives on the air and would like to join me at 11 a.m. on a weekday in September on the campus of UMKC, we’d like to have you on our panel. You can use pseudonyms on the air so you can feel free to speak your mind.

Minors, however, will need parental permission.

Send me an email at ask@dr-wes.com and we’ll discuss your views and how they might fit into the format of the show, and we’ll have to pare the list down to about three panelists. I look forward to hearing what teens and college-aged adults have to say about this interesting and ever-changing topic.

about navigating Facebook, Twitter and texting just to find and maintain that relationship. This creates an atmosphere where teens spend less quality time with their significant others and more time sifting through and decoding the messages received via the social network, even starting and breaking up online.

The dating scene today creates an environment where teens don’t know how to deal with the difficulties of relationships face-to-face and use technology to shield themselves.

We still deal with the same emotions (i.e. jealousy, rejection and love), but they are expressed over different media. Instead of the love letter, we have the Facebook message.

The key to pushing past the technology barrier is to make sure that if you’re dating someone, you make time spent with them quality time. “Unplug” yourself and keep your phone at bay so you can really learn about the other person.

By making your time count, the need to keep in contact constantly through social networking becomes less necessary and builds a stronger relationship.

GRILLED SAUSAGE AND WHITE BEANS are mixed into kale for this salad.

Hail, kale: Sturdy green good in any season

BY JOE GRAY, CHICAGO TRIBUNE

K

ale, with its sturdy leaves, feels like a winter green (and it does fit well, of course, in cold weather cooking), yet the farmers’ markets and groceries are full of it now.

Whether White Russian, red, lacinato or other varieties, kale is in its ascendancy, with baby kale leaves especially popular. The baby leaves are so tender, they go beautifully in fresh salads, no cooking needed. It seems that every restaurant, new cookbook or food blog has a kale salad these days, using the mature leaves as well. (Dressing mature kale ahead of serving allows the leaves to soften enough to eat raw.)

Our favorite? A twist on a Caesar, which friends call Kale, Caesar! — saluting Roman style, in partial jest to its mighty deliciousness.

The kale recipe here works in any season. Baby or mature leaves can be used, just adjust the cooking time. You’ll want the leaves just cooked through. The rich sausage helps coat the leaves; the sundried tomatoes add a bit of tartness.

KALE WITH GRILLED SAUSAGES AND WHITE BEANS Prep: 10 minutes Cook: 25 minutes Makes: 4 servings

sweet or hot 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 white onion, chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced 1/2 teaspoon salt 3 bunches baby kale, stemmed, or 2 large bunches regular kale, stemmed, sliced in 1/2-inch ribbons 1/2 cup each: white wine, water 1 can (14 ounces) white beans, drained, rinsed 1/2 cup thinly sliced sun-dried tomatoes Directions: 1. Prepare grill for medium high heat; grill sausages, turning, until done, 5-8 minutes. (Or brown sausages in a skillet over medium-high heat until cooked through.)

Slice sausages into 1/2-inch rounds.

2. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic; season with 1/4 teaspoon salt.

Cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to soften. Add kale, wine and a half cup or so water, if needed. (You may need to add the kale in batches, allowing the first batch to cook down a bit to make room for the rest.) Stir to coat kale; season with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook until kale wilts, 6 minutes.

3. Stir in beans and sun-dried tomatoes; cook until heated through, 5 minutes.

Serve topped with the grilled sausages.

DIET NOT ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL

BY SARA SHEPHERD

T

don’t think there’s a final destination.”

Rick Daugherty, Lawrence, said he used to be a typical omnivore, but transitioned to vegetarianism about eight years ago. About three years ago, he became vegan with the exception of fish.

Judy Carman, Lecompton, went vegetarian more than 40 years ago and eventually transitioned to a vegan diet, which she’s followed strictly since.

“I haven’t had honey for years,” she said.

In addition to being vegan, Carman and her husband, Michael Carman, eat raw when they can.

he vast majority of Americans are omnivores, subsisting on the traditional four food groups — all four of them.

But what do we call the people who eat only three, two or one of those groups? And why do they choose to eat differently from the mainstream?

The combinations — as it only takes a few Lawrence vegetarians to illustrate — are practically endless.

“Diet has to fit you, just like clothes do,” said Nancy O’Connor, the Merc’s — Nancy O’Connor, CHOICES director of education and director of education and For Carman, who is inoutreach and an ovo-lactovegetarian. “Eating can be outreach at the Merc volved with animal activism, reasons for being vega complicated, conscious an go beyond health. decision if you really think about it.”

“I’d call it a cruelty-free diet and lifestyle,” she said. “It’s much more than just what you DIETARY COMBINATIONS eat.”

Carman said she went vegetarian because Vegetarian or partially vegetarian diets abound, ranging from vegans — who eat no she believed it was wrong to eat animals. She animal byproducts, not even honey — to ate milk and eggs from farms with humane pesco-pollo-vegetarians — who don’t eat red practices but eventually quit when she began to realize the cruelty that was behind taking meat but do eat fish and chicken.

There are even diets that include meat but them from mother animals, a practice Carman remove other food groups, such as paleo — described as “basic exploitation of feminine energy.” no dairy or grains.

DIETARY LIFESTYLES There are many dietary lifestyles, and endless combinations of them. Here are basic descriptions of a few you many have heard of.

Omnivore: Eats everything.

Pollotarian: Eats chicken or poultry,

Fruitarian: Eats only fruits, nuts and

seeds. No animal products, vegetables or grains.

Raw foodist: Eats only uncooked,

unprocessed food. Commonly vegan, but some subsets eat raw meat.

Paleo, or caveman: Inspired by

but not red meat.

Pescetarian: Eats fish but not other

types of meat.

Ovo-lacto-vegetarian: Most common

type of vegetarian, eats milk and egg products but no flesh meat.

Vegan: Eats only plants. No animal by-

products, such as eggs, milk or, for the strictest vegans, honey.

Like her dietary choices, Young’s reasons for making them evolved along the way.

While studying abroad in Australia, she said, she tried cutting out most meat besides fish because she thought it would be healthier. A couple years later, while teaching English in Korea, she took it a step further.

“They eat weird things like squid that’s still moving,” she said. “I started thinking about it differently.”

Later, when she removed dairy from her diet, she said she lost baby fat and felt more energetic.

Young said that although she experiments, she always tries to listen to her body. Everyone is different, she said, and if something doesn’t make her feel good, she doesn’t stick to it.

“I’m trying to eat the foods that make me feel the best,” Young said. “I want to thrive. I don’t want to just survive.”

A HEALTHY BALANCE O’Connor said following a lifestyle-diet — particularly vegetarian — in a healthy way requires knowledge and variety.

“If you take a typical American plate of

hunter-gatherer ancestors, eats only meats, fruits and vegetables.

No refined sugar, grains, dairy or legumes.

Flexitarian: A vegetarian who occa-

sionally eats meat, according to the American Dialect Society (which voted flexitarian one of its most useful words in 2003).

food and just remove the meat, that is not a vegetarian diet,” she said. “Everybody needs protein.”

The good news, she said, is that protein is relatively easy to get, and that’s where variety comes in.

Bean products such as tofu, grains such as quinoa and, of course, legumes, all have a lot of it.

Other nutrients such as calcium (if you’re not eating dairy), iron (if you don’t eat meat) and vitamin B12 (if you’re vegan) may take more knowledge to find in alternate ingredients or supplements.

O’Connor said her best advice — especially for teens experimenting with diets — is to take a class and read a reliable book about vegetarian nutrition.

As long as you’re healthy, she said, your diet is your choice.

“I don’t feel militant, I don’t feel the need to convert people,” she said. “Diet is a very personal journey.”

Why do you eat vegetarian?

“I like animals and don’t like killing them — that’s the most compelling reason. And I feel better when I eat less meat. A diet with a lot of meat is inefficient, energy-wise. There are so many people struggling while we’re consuming too many resources.”

Bill Wachspress, Ecumenical Christian Ministries cook, Lawrence

“Mostly for health reasons. Plus, producing and transporting meat is harmful to the environment.”

Danielle Moccia, recent graduate, Lawrence

“I don’t agree with a lot of the practices of the meat industry. And I’ve just never really liked meat.”

Grace Scrivo, student, Lawrence

Havaianas flip-flops turn 50

BY JENNY BARCHFIELD, ASSOCIATED PRESS

HIGH STYLE

R

Havaianas now come in an ever-changing rainbow of 23 shades, some emblazoned with eye-popping prints on the soles or rubber appliques on the straps.

At the brand’s concept store on Rua Oscar Freire, Sao Paulo’s answer to Fifth Avenue in New York, Havaianas devotees can get bespoke sandals made to their color specifications or emblazoned with their initials.

Swanky Brazilian jewelry label H. Stern has crafted a limited edition of six pairs bedazzled with diamonds and glinting with gold. Designer Gustavo Lins, a Brazilian who’s among the elite cadre of Paris’ haute couture purveyors, sent out a collection of made-to-measure garments paired with Havaianas. The brand has also collaborated with Missoni, the Milan-based luxury label.

While prices for the basic, no-frills models have remained low, retailing in Brazil for just $5, a premium off-the-shelf pair goes for up to $28 here. In the U.S. most models are in the $20-$30 range.

JANEIRO — Brazil’s wellheeled socialites swear by them.

Legions of slum-dwellers from the country’s hillside “favelas” don them almost every day. Minimum wage earners behind juice bar counters use them, as do newly minted millionaires and, alarmingly, construction workers.

In Brazil, literally everyone wears Havaianas, the now world-famous brand of rubber and plastic flip-flops that’s celebrating its 50th birthday this year.

Since their 1962 introduction, Havaianas have joined soccer and samba as one of the great social equalizers in this country, among the world’s most stratified societies.

IO DE

BRAZILIAN ICON Initially the workaday staples of the Brazilian poor, Havaianas have transcended both their modest origins and the country’s borders to become an object of desire the world over, sold at Bloomingdale’s and Neiman Marcus and coveted by Hollywood A-listers, European royals and suburban princesses from Seattle to Seoul.

Not only have they become all but de rigeur in poolside Miami and beachfront Cancun, Havaianas now have a way of cropping up where you least expect them, from Paris’ rarified haute couture catwalks to the red carpet at the Oscars.

The iconic flip-flops now rival ubermodel Gisele Bundchen for the title of Brazil’s most famous export. And though the word “havaianas” means Hawaiian in Portuguese, the flip-flops have come to be something of a symbol for Brazil itself.

“They’re cool, colorful, laid back and chic,” said Brazilian-born fashion consultant Abraao Ferreira. “They’re the quintessence of everything that people find appealing about Brazil.”

The numbers speak to that enduring popularity.

Last year, 210 million pairs of Havaianas were sold worldwide. Even with 15 percent of total production exported to some 80 countries, enough of the sandals were sold in 2011 for nearly every man, woman and child in Brazil.

HISTORY Legend has it that Havaianas’ simple wishbone between-the-toe design was inspired by Japanese “zori” sandals, the

A CUSTOMER SHOPS FOR HAVAIANAS SANDALS July 16 in Sao Paulo, Brazil. In Brazil, literally everyone wears Havaianas, the now world-famous brand of rubber and plastic flip-flops that’s celebrating its 50th birthday this year. traditional straw-bottomed footwear worn by geishas.

“It’s true that some executives from (parent company) Alpargatas took a trip to Japan before the launch,” in 1962, said Rui Porto, a longtime company executive who now works as a media consultant for the brand. “But the origins of this style of sandal date back to the dawn of time, to roughly the same era as the invention of the wheel.

“In fact, that’s why there’s no patent on them,” Porto said.

Still, patent or not, Havaianas has kept the formula behind its squishy rubber soles a tightly guarded secret. Since most of its direct competitors make cheaper, plastic-soled flip-flops, Havaianas’ aerated rubber soles are seen as key to the brand’s success and their manufacturing process is kept under strict wraps.

Beyond acknowledging they’re made from a mixture of domestic and imported rubber that shrinks and hardens with extended wear, Porto declined to provide any details about the secret soles.

In the beginning, Havaianas came in a Spartan palette, their white soles paired with either sky blue, black or yellow straps. Sold in popular street markets, they quickly became such a basic for the poor here that they were included on the list of basic necessities such as rice and beans that the government used to calculate cost-of-living increases.

“Havaianas were almost synonymous

with poverty,” said Porto. “They were sold like a commodity, with no investment in design or marketing or innovation, and the whole business model hinged upon selling increasing numbers of pairs in order to drive production costs down.”

By the early 1990s, with domestic competitors beginning to eat away at Havaianas’ market share, label executives made a bold, 180-degree shift in strategy.

Their plan, aimed at rebranding Havaianas as a fashion accessory, would prove so wildly successful that it has since become a business school case study in marketing.

The label looked to inventive wearers who had long been transforming their bicolor sandals into single color ones by flipping the white-topped sole over. In 1994, Havaianas introduced a new line of one-shade sandals in black, royal blue, pink and purple.

Suddenly, middle- and upper-class Brazilians who either wouldn’t have been caught dead in Havaianas or donned them exclusively for the short trek from their beachfront apartments to the sand, were snatching them up in multiple shades for all occasions.

Ladies who lunch from Rio’s tony Leblon neighborhood wear them to all-important visits to the hairdresser or even out on dates. Private school scions use them to mark the goal box during beach soccer matches. Moneyed businessmen wear them while walking the dog or out to a high-end “churrascaria” barbecue.

SANDALS FOR ALL Brazilian-born former model and socialite Andrea Dellal keeps her dazzling Rio apartment stocked with Havaianas in every conceivable size and color.

“I keep baskets full of them in all the bedrooms, and my guests and my children and their friends help themselves,” said Dellal.

She said she had vivid memories of wearing Havaianas to the beach as a child.

Now she wears them everywhere.

“I wear them with my Dolce & Gabbana dresses during the day because they’re easy to run around in and sometimes I wear them at night with long dresses. I love the look,” said Dellal, whose other footwear of choice includes vertiginous heels by Manolo Blahnik and daughter Charlotte, who’s behind the high-end London shoe label Charlotte Olympia.

Still, despite, or perhaps because of, their adoption by the elite, Havaianas continue to appeal to their original customers at the bottom of Brazil’s class hierarchy.

“The popular classes are buying more Havaianas than ever,” said consultant Porto.

“Poor people have the right to be fashionable too, and people in this group tend to save up for different models and lots of colors.

“They see their bosses wearing Havaianas, they see TV stars wearing them and even foreign movie stars in them, and they feel proud to wear them.”

Meditation, exercise may help limit cold, flu, study suggests

BY AISHA QIDWAE, MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL

M

editation or exercise may lower the rate, length and severity of the flu or common cold, according to preliminary findings of a study conducted in Wisconsin.

The randomized controlled trial suggests preventing the common cold may not just be limited to practices such as frequent hand washing or covering the mouth when sneezing or coughing.

“The bottom line is both the mental health and physical health matter in helping improve (the) flu and cold,” said physician Bruce Barrett, author of the study and associate professor in the University of Wisconsin-Madison medical school’s department of family medicine.

He said in addition to taking precautions to prevent colds, regular exercise and meditation may help.

“If it turns out to be true, it’s a bigger deal than flu shots,” Barrett said.

The study was published this month in the Annals of Family Medicine.

Studying a total of 149 individuals split into three groups, participants meditating on a regular basis reported 257 days of the common cold or flu, people who exercised regularly reported 241 days of illness, and the control group had the highest number of days in which they had cold and flu symptoms, 453.

The groups were studied from Septem-

iStoc

k ph

oto

ber 2009 to May 2010 by University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers.

Missed days due to the flu or common cold were the lowest in the meditating group at 16, followed by the exercise group at 32. Those in the control group missed 67 days. The common cold is the leading cause of doctor visits and missed days of school and work, according to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

While many studies point to exercise to improve immune function and fight off infection, using meditation to improve immune function remains inconclusive, Barrett said.

Episodes of illness were self-reported following a scale where participants had to have two of the following symptoms: a runny nose, a plugged nose, sneezing or a scratchy throat. The meditation group reported 27 illness episodes, the exercise group had 26 episodes and the control group reported 40 episodes of an illness.

The severity of the illness was assessed through a daily survey, which documents symptoms such as headaches, body aches and fever. With each illness, nasal wash was collected; there were no statistical differences between each group.

David Shapiro, an expert on integrative medicine and Eastern therapies and an internist at Columbia St. Mary’s in Milwaukee, said the study showed that something certainly changed after one group engaged in a fairly intense meditation program.

“Some of the interesting things was that some people were infected the same amount yet they had less severe symptoms in terms of global severity and days of illness,” said Shapiro, who was not part of the study.

“It’s pretty striking for (the) meditation group in terms of the decreased number of days of illness.”

Besides the control group, one group spent eight weeks doing mindfulness meditation and another did moderate-intensity exercise.

Those in the meditation group focused on becoming aware of their senses, thoughts and emotions during a 45-minute daily at-home practice and weekly 2 ½-hour group sessions.

Those exercising walked briskly and jogged in a daily 45-minute session as well as in their 2 ½-hour weekly workouts, which included moderately intensive exercise on stationary bicycles and treadmills.

I guess all I’m trying to say is that if you like something, wear it, no matter how strange it makes you feel at first.

ALI EDWARDS

COLUMNIST ALI EDWARDS models a pair of sheer pants.

STEP OUT OF COMFORT ZONE IN SHEER PANTS D

uring my senior year of high school, I bought some sheer pants, and I wore them exactly once before tucking them in the back of my closet.

They were a wide-legged, black, thin pleated pair that caused everyone to ask, “Are those … pants?”

For some reason, I held on to them throughout the years and this past winter, I pulled them out again.

This time, I wore them around town while doing some errands with friends. When I got home, I promptly tucked them back into the same closet space they had vacated only hours before.

This spring and summer, sheer pants with opaque underlays can be found in nearly every shop that sells young women’s clothing.

While I’ve seen model upon model display how these pants look on the female form, I’ve only seen two women actually wearing them on the street.

I see only three options why my sheer-pants sightings are so infrequent:

They’re actually really ugly and not even an overwhelming amount of trendiness could

convince a Lawrence woman to wear them;

I’m not hanging out in the sheer-pantswearing community;

They’re so different from pants women are used to, we’re uncomfortable wearing them.

While all of these options probably have some bearing on the number of women not wearing these pants, I’d like to explore the third option.

These pants are great in theory, which is probably what led me to keep mine for years despite only wearing them once. They look great on the professionally photographed models in the fashion retail magazines, but as soon as we women get into the dressing room, we say, “Oh, these are too weird. I can’t buy these.”

These Jasmine-from-Aladdin-type pants are much different than most pants we have ever worn. They don’t carry the same shape, produce the same movement or contain the same fabric that the pants we’re used to do. They’re different, yes, and a little weird.

But I think you should wear them, even if they’re out of your comfort zone. If they pique your interest, or if you’ve tried on a pair be-

fore, go get some. They’re comfortable, cute and, of course, unique.

The only downside? I don’t foresee the trendiness of these pants lasting very long.

But, as I’ve found, you can tuck them in the back of your closet for six years until you are courageous enough to pull them out again.

I guess all I’m trying to say is that if you like something, wear it, no matter how strange it makes you feel at first. Sheer pants are my personal example of an item of clothing that I love but can’t rack up the bravery to wear often.

But starting today, that ends! No longer will I be embarrassed by something I chose to clothe my body with. No longer will I care what other people are wearing enough to influence my own decisions about clothes. No longer will my self-consciousness overwhelm my desire to dress according to my own style.

Excuse me, I’m going to go find my sheer pants.

Baby Ana or Grey? Moms-to-be credit ‘Fifty Shades’ NEW YORK (AP) — Will little Sophia and Jacob morph into baby Christian and Anastasia about nine months from now?

While it’s impossible to declare a “Fifty Shades of Grey” baby boomlet, some moms and moms-to-be attribute their pregnancies to sex inspired by the erotic trilogy that went mainstream early this year.

One night on vacation in Florida was all it took for Betsy Bailey, a labor and delivery nurse, no less, in suburban Chicago. She’s expecting baby No. 6, conceived soon after reading the steamy bondage love story.

Brittany Woodard, 21, in Norfolk, Va., has a 6-month-old son, Greyson, whose name has absolutely nothing to do with the books Woodard read while her military husband was away for four months.

“It was like one night alone,” she laughed. “We went out to dinner and, you know, a little wine, a little stone crab and a little Christian Grey.”

New to the spicy genre, the stay-athome mom wasn’t trying for another baby so soon, but she was ready “with many new ideas” in the bou-

doir department when her husband got home. She’s due in February.

At BabyCenter.com, a large online community of moms and expectant moms, nearly 150 women have posted that their pregnancies are directly related to more baby-making activity inspired by the best-selling books that have sold 31 million copies in all formats.

History of the Olympics

Summer Sale Starts Now

T

he Games of the XXX Olympiad are well under way now with all eyes (or at least the two that belong to my husband) eagerly watching to see if a certain U.S. team repeats its phenomenon of 2008.

But before we dig into women’s beach volleyball, let’s take a look at the history of the games as they evolved throughout the millennia.

Most historians agree that the first recorded Olympic games took place in 776 BC. These games, held every four years, likely included foot races, boxing, wrestling and pankration, a martial art eventually deemed too violent for civil competition, though a similar version allowing biting and eye-gouging can still be seen on “The Bachelor.”

The tradition of these original games held strong until roughly 400 AD, when it is suspected that Missouri started petitioning Rome to take them into its kingdom in hopes of capitalizing on the rising dominance of the Roman dollar. This would not be the last time Missouri would bust up a long-standing tradition for money.

Though several attempts to renew the quadrennial competition were made over the following centuries, it wasn’t until the late 1800s that things really began to come together for the legacy of Hercules, starting in 1886 when John Pemberton reformulated his newly created French Wine Cocoa into the nonalcoholic beverage we now call Coca-Cola, paving the way for corporate sponsorship, an integral part of the modern Olympic tradition.

Nine years later, American William G. Morgan set the stage for what would become my husband’s favorite Olympic event when he hoisted a net in the middle of his gym, handed his players a white ball to be passed like a hot potato and insisted, above all, that participants cover their midriffs. Two of these three rules still stand.

In 1896, Greece heard the international calling to revive the games of their ancestors and, backed by corporate sponsors and with an array of new forms of competition from which to choose, hosted the first modern Olympic Games. And the country never had to worry about money again.

Several other factors came into play into over the next century-plus, including the first two-piece swimsuit (designed by Carl Jantzen in 1913), the invention of color television in 1953 and the introduction of a specialized system of hair removal in 1987 by seven Brazilian sisters in New York, bringing us to Beijing 2008, when a genius intern at NBC noticed the forecast called for rain that infamous night in August and, recalling the women’s beach volleyball uniforms resembled white bikinis, suggested the network highlight the competition with a prime-time slot.

He now runs strategic marketing for the company, receiving fan mail from straight, post-pubescent males nationwide still to this day.

While it takes a village to bring an athlete to your living room, it takes dedication beyond comprehension to bring home the hardware. So grab a Coke and a smile and, for one golden week, let go of the politics that divide and unite for the home team.

An integrated pest management system is the most effective means of getting rid of these light brown, apple-seed-size, blood-sucking parasites.

LINDA COTTIN

ELIMINATING BED BUGS

W

ith an increase in international travel and a universal ban on highly toxic pesticides, such as DDT, bed bugs are fast becoming one of the more difficult pests to control and eradicate.

An integrated pest management system is the most effective means of getting rid of these light brown, appleseed-size, blood-sucking parasites.

Step 1: Bed bugs, though not isolated to beds, tend to cluster within eight feet of beds and other areas where people sleep. Telltale signs of bed bugs include brown or red spots on bedding, as well as clusters of bites on arms and other exposed areas of skin. Use a flashlight at night to search for bugs in bedding and other potentially infested areas.

Step 2: If bugs are found, kill them instantly or suck them up with the wand of a vacuum. Vacuuming up bed bugs is effective only if the vacuum contents can be sealed in plastic and disposed of properly. Bugs may get caught in vacuum brushes and crevices, allowing infestation to spread to other areas of the home.

Step 3: Place all bedding and clothing items in tightly sealed bags. Wash bedding in hot water and heat all items in a hot dryer for a minimum of 30 minutes. Do not reuse the bags. Instead, reseal them and dispose of them properly.

Step 4: Eliminate clutter and remove dust ruffles and other fabrics that touch the floor. Pull beds out away from walls to create effective “islands.” Encase mattresses and pillows in zippered coverings to trap existing bugs and eliminate hiding opportunities for new bugs and eggs.

Continue to inspect and monitor area for further bed bug activity for several weeks.

Step 5: Seek out bugs hidden in cracks and crevices.

Use caulk and other means to seal cracks around baseboards and trim where bugs can hide.

Step 6: Minimal use of sprays and powders is acceptable. Pesticides are only effective against bed bugs upon immediate contact. Once dry, pesticides lose their effectiveness and potentially encourage resistance in bugs.

Use pesticides recommended specifically for bed bugs and follow the manufacturer’s instructions unconditionally. Pyrethroids, such as Pyrethrins, Permethrin and Neem Oil are the only pesticides on the market today effective against bed bugs. Diatomaceous earth is effective, but takes up to two weeks to work.

Step 7: If bed bugs persist, call a professional exterminator to address the issue.

See answer next Monday!

Pride cometh after the triumph, study says

BY JESSICA M. MORRISON, CHICAGO TRIBUNE

W

hen Olympic athletes raise their arms above their shoulders, clench their fists and lock their teeth into a grimace after a victory, we might think they are quite proud of themselves.

But the emotion felt by the athletes at that moment may not be pride but triumph, according to a recent body language study of competitive athletes. Pride comes later and is expressed differently, the study argues.

David Matsumoto, the San Francisco State University psychology professor who conducted the study, draws a distinction between pride — a positive feeling arising from satisfaction in oneself, and triumph — an intense, emotional release stemming from the accomplishment.

While pride is a recognized emotion in the field of psychology, triumph is not.

Understanding the subtle differences between these and other emotions could lead to better treatment of emotional disorders, Matsumoto said.

“When we studied pride, there was always something gnawing at me because some of the expressions that were previ-

ously labeled pride just didn’t make that much sense to me,” he said. “So what we did in our study was really give some of the expressions a fair shot to be called triumph.”

Matsumoto asked college students in the U.S. and South Korea to describe expressions seen in photographs of Olympic judo competitors taken just moments after victory during the 2004 Games in Athens.

To both groups, the combination of aggressive behaviors seen in competitive athletes immediately following victory — a grimace, direct gaze, expanded chest, arms raised above the shoulders or in a punch-

ing motion, hands clenched into fists or giving thumbs up and a shout or utterance — suggested triumph.

Seconds later, a new set of expressive behaviors — head tilted back, a small smile, chest expanded, arms away from body with open hands — signaled the arrival of pride.

The results are based only on the judgment of observers, rather than the actual emotions felt by the victors. Matsumoto, whose study will be published in the journal Evolution and Human Behavior later this year, plans to study the emotional responses of sighted and blind athletes next.
