Home burglary suspect arrested

High-profile child abuse and neglect cases catch the spotlight and capture public attention.

One of those occurred in June, when a concerned resident spotted two children blindfolded, with their hands bound, in the parking lot of a Lawrence Walmart, sparking the immediate removal of five children from their parents’ custody.

Another was the case in which a Lawrence woman was charged with manslaughter, after her 5-yearold daughter died after ingesting opiates in April.

Kittel However, there are many other cases of abuse and neglect coming through the court system on a regular basis that highlight the failure of parents, for a variety of reasons, to provide basic care for their children, said Douglas County District Judge Peggy Kittel, who handles some of the county’s child in need of care cases.

“They’re very sad,” Kittel said. “It’s the kids coming to your door for water or food.”

Lawrence police Tuesday morning arrested a 31-yearold Lawrence man suspected of two burglaries and trying to enter a third nearby home in northern Lawrence while residents were sleeping.

Sgt. Trent McKinley, a police spokesman, said officers were also investigating to determine if the suspect could be linked to several dozen other recent similar burglaries across the city. However, McKinley said late Tuesday afternoon the suspect likely will only be formally charged this afternoon in connection with the three incidents from Tuesday as detectives examine a possible connection to other cases.

“I don’t think those types of answers are going to happen between now and then,” he said. “It could continue for weeks. We will look at every particular case.”

affected by algae blooms.

The blooms in Kansas last year were among the worst and forced the closure of several lakes in the state “Harmful algal blooms are on the rise globally in both marine and freshwater systems; applying good science to understand their triggers is the first step to reducing their occurrence in the future,” USGS Director Marcia McNutt said in a news release about the study. “In the meantime, we must remain ever vigilant in our monitoring to assure citizens that their water supply is healthy and safe.”

Jennifer Graham, a research hydrologist with USGS in Lawrence, said Tuesday that the study results showed that while the toxins moved from the reservoir to the river, they were much more dilute in the river and not detected at all in tap water.

There are several possibilities for what happened to the toxins, Graham said.

“

If you can’t manage yourself, how are you going to take care of your kids?”

— Douglas County District Judge Peggy Kittel addicted parents who are unable to care for their children. Data provided by the DCF confirm that, in the past 11 months, drug abuse by parents is the No. 1 reason for a child being removed from his or her home in Douglas County, accounting for more than 20 percent of removals.

“If you can’t manage yourself, how are you going to take care of your kids?” said Kittel, adding that by the time a family gets to her courtroom, they’re dealing with serious abuse and neglect.

“They’re very sad. Usually it’s a crisis mode when they come in.”

In an effort to stem the tide of removals from custody in Kansas — which number about 3,500 annually — DCF gained legislation approval last session for $1 million to fund a program to reach out to families before it is necessarily to remove children.

Twenty new DCF workers are in the process of being hired and spread tion. AFP has been active in the state Senate campaigns, producing mailers critical of moderate Republican incumbents.

But state Sen. Terry Bruce, R-Hutchinson, who is considered a conservative Republican, said the Kansas Jobs PAC report shows that Senate Republican leaders “have an open alliance with the most liberal unions in Kansas to attack conservatives and implement the Obama agenda.”

Bruce added: “Kansas voters know what the Teamsters and big special interest government unions stand for: job killing taxes and total implementation of Obamacare. Now we know this Senate leadership stands with those unions and against the best interests of Kansas.”

But Joshua Lewis, chief of staff for Senate President Morris, said, “Senator Bruce should check the facts: Every Republican voted in favor of protecting Kansans from Obamacare. The state is facing a $2.7 billion deficit, our schools could face cuts of up to 40 percent of their current budgets, and some so-called conservatives are now talking about raising the sales tax to pay for the budget deficit.

“Leadership does not control the Kansas Jobs PAC. What Senator Bruce forgets is that in a Republican state like Kansas,

It appears that some were left behind in a sort of “bathtub” ring around the lake when the water level dropped. Another possible explanation for lower concentrations in the river could also be that the algae are largely located on the reservoir’s surface and the releases from Milford come from the bottom.

“That’s the good news story in this case,” she said.

“We have this highly toxic bloom, and yes we did see transport of the toxins, however, concentrations were much lower than might have been expected.”

Tom Langer, director of the division of environmental health for the Kansas Department of Environmental Health, said the state has been watching the development of algae blooms closely “because it’s an indicator of our overall water quality.” But “bottom line right now, I drink the water out of the tap in Topeka and there’s nothing wrong with it, and I know,” he said.

throughout the state to help struggling families access services, said Gina Meier-Hummel, DCF director of prevention and protective services.

“So families don’t have to get to a crisis situation,” she said.

The program, termed “differential response,” will provide a more partnership-based relationship with families, as opposed to the potentially adversarial process that occurs when DCF investigates abuse cases, said Dona Booe, director of the Kansas Children’s Service League.

It’s aimed at families who are stretched thin and need help.

“How can families really rise up?” said Booe.

The program’s a start, but more is needed, Booe said.

“I think there’s a much greater opportunity in Kansas,” she said. But, “it’s a matter of funding.”

Frederick called on Douglas County residents to consider how they can help the growing need, such as providing foster care or volunteering as a CASA advocate.

“As a community, we really need to band together,” she said.

many teachers are likely Republican and union members. Our teachers have the most important job of educating our future generations — is Senator Bruce saying that their voices are unworthy of being heard in the political process?”

On the conservative side, Koch Industries’ $125,000 contribution to the Chamber PAC is large

by Kansas standards.

In addition to Koch Industries’ donation to the Kansas Chamber PAC, the organization received high-dollar contributions from several businesses, including $10,000 from The Lawrence Paper Co. For the moderates, the Kansas National Education Association’s $50,000 contribution to Kansas Jobs PAC was made up almost entirely of smaller donations in the $25 to $100 range.

BRIEFLY Crews respond to fire at apartment complex

‘We’re very proud of what we do’

ONLINE: See the video at LJWorld.com

Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical crews put out a two-alarm fire in the 2100 block of Heatherwood Drive Tuesday evening.

Division chief Joe Hoelscher said firefighters arrived to a four-plex on the Peppertree Apartments property, 3100 W. 22nd St., to see heavy smoke and flames. Flames were visible throughout the area, near Clinton Parkway and Kasold Drive.

The fire was primarily in the attic and broke through the roof. There were no injuries.

Three of the four units were occupied, though no one was in the house at the time of the fire, he said. The Red Cross of Douglas County is assisting the seven displaced residents.

Hoelscher said he didn’t know an estimated loss amount or cause of the fire as of Tuesday night.

$1.7M sought from Hawker Beechcraft WICHITA (AP) — Attorneys representing Wichita aircraft maker Hawker Beechcraft in its bankruptcy proceeding are seeking more than $1 million for work they performed in June.

The New York law firm of Kirkland and Ellis LLP filed a monthly statement Tuesday.

The firm is seeking payment of 80 percent of the more than $1.75 million it says it ran up in attorney fees, plus a little more than $57,000 in expenses.

The firm says 35 lawyers spent 2,444 billable hours on the Hawker Beechcraft case in June, with three partners billing as much as $1,045 per hour. Kirkland and Ellis also says a dozen paraprofessionals worked 260 billable hours on the case.

The biggest chunk of the legal fees come from work on employee issues, benefits and the pension.

A former Lawrence police sergeant who was fired earlier this year in connection with a traffic-ticket-fixing scandal says he intends to sue the city.

Michael Monroe said in an interview that he learned last week that City Manager David Corliss had upheld Police Chief Tarik Khatib’s decision in March to fire Monroe.

The city manager’s decision Monroe reversed an earlier decision this summer by a city employee grievance review board to reinstate Monroe to the department with a demotion, Monroe said.

“I thought the evidence would have shown that I should be reinstated,” Monroe said.

Both Monroe and Khatib appealed the grievance panel’s decision to Corliss. Monroe said he appealed because he did not want to accept a demotion.

Kmart Distribution Center celebrates 40 years in Lawrence

There was a time that former Kmart Distribution Center employee Dale Heston had about 15,000 numbers stored in his head, each one representing a different product warehoused in the massive facility north of Interstate 70 in Lawrence.

On Tuesday, however, employees of the distribution center had just one number on their minds: 40. More than 300 Kmart employees and retirees celebrated the 40th anniversary of the distribution center with a special luncheon and program.

“We’re very proud of what we do here and very proud to be

Lawsuit CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

City officials declined to comment on Monroe’s grievance case Tuesday.

“The city does not comment on personnel matters or matters in which there may be, or is, pending litigation,” City Attorney Toni Wheeler said.

The grievance hearing lasted four days in which both Monroe and Khatib called witnesses and presented evidence. When Khatib and Monroe met with Corliss later about the appeal, it lasted a much shorter time. Monroe said Corliss notified him in a short letter last week that he was overturning the panel’s decision to reinstate him.

“I think he would have to justify his reasoning, and now there’s nothing for him to have to justify,” Monroe said. “I believe I should be given a specific reason. He implied that the board made a mistake, and he didn’t give a reason. But they heard far more evidence than he heard.”

Personnel investigation Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson said in March that he reviewed court cases that former Sgt. Matt Sarna and Monroe were involved in after the city provided him their names in connection with the Sarna personnel investigation.

City officials have said the investigation revealed six speeding tickets were dismissed from 2000 to 2009 for a former Kansas Athletics official who is now in prison as part of the broader Kansas University athletic-ticketsfor-cash scandal from 2005 to 2010.

Monroe said the dismissed speeding tickets benefitted Rodney Dale Jones, who had worked as a KU ticket office manager and a leader of the Williams Fund. Jones is currently an inmate at a federal prison in Oklahoma.

Khatib has said the investigation revealed an

with paper and cards,” said Duane Curtiss, who retired from Kmart after 35 years with the center.

“Every time you touched a pallet, you wrote it down somewhere.”

The lack of computers caused some employees — like Heston, who also retired after 35 years with the company — to simply start memorizing numbers they worked with on a daily basis. These days, though, memorizing 15,000 product codes wouldn’t cover even half of the items in the distribution center. The warehouse currently has about 38,000 different products in stock.

“We’ve got everything from shampoo to trampolines in this place,” Diamond said.

officer, later identified as Sarna, had a long-term friendship dating to the late 1990s or early 2000s with an athletics employee and received free or discounted KU tickets over several years. At some point the athletics employee asked for help dismissing speeding tickets he received or was about to receive.

He said the investigation also revealed the officer may have asked a second officer two or three times for assistance in fixing traffic citations and that the second officer, who prosecutors later identified as Monroe, might have also received KU tickets Khatib through the first officer.

Khatib said in May 2011 he received an anonymous letter about the allegations involving the police department, and the matter was eventually referred to federal authorities.

Federal prosecutors and Branson did not file criminal charges against either Sarna or Monroe, saying the timing and circumstances of the receipt of the athletics tickets could not be directly linked to specific requests for fixing traffic tickets. But Khatib said the conduct violated the city’s gratuity policy.

Future legal action As part of his grievance case, Monroe said, he alleged that Khatib knew about allegations involving Jones and a police officer about a year before the May 2011 anonymous letter. Monroe said he presented evidence before the panel alleging when Khatib was a captain supervising internal affairs in 2010 he knew “about an arrangement between Rodney Jones and another officer” but that Khatib “failed to conduct any kind of credible investigation and did not take any action at that time.”

Khatib referred questions Tuesday to Wheeler, the city attorney. Khatib did say in February that he believed there had been allegations of “similar activity” involving police department perEmployees also come and go, but Kmart officials said the center has been a longtime employer to more Lawrence residents than people might expect.

Of the approximately 300 employees at the center, about half have 20 years or more of service at the company, said Jill Dugan, human resources manager for the center.

“What I’ve had several employees tell me is that they came here when they were 18 and thought it would just be a job, but they found out it was a pretty good way to provide for their families,” Dugan said.

Heston, who has both a son and a daughter who now works at the center, said he’s hopeful the facility will be a major part of the Lawrence business scene for years to come. Worries were high in 2002 when the

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD sonnel made prior to the May 2011 anonymous tip.

He said his understanding was that those allegations were examined but there was never enough evidence to take more formal action.

Monroe said he believed it was important when Khatib knew about the allegations involving Jones and another officer because Monroe said Khatib accused him of not coming forward with his own earlier concerns about a friendship between Jones and another officer.

“It was prior to 2010, but I didn’t believe it rose to the level of a violation, so I didn’t come forward,” Monroe said. “But I didn’t have all the facts. I didn’t have all the information that (Khatib) had.”

Monroe, who had worked as an officer since 1991, said the chief told him he would punish him by demoting him. But when Monroe declined to accept the demotion, he was fired.

During his interview with the Journal-World, Monroe talked specifically about some aspects of the grievance process and internal investigation, but he declined to answer other questions, citing a civil action he plans to pursue. He did not comment about whether he received any KU basketball tickets through Sarna or whether he asked other officers to dismiss any traffic tickets for Jones as a favor.

As part of the city’s grievance policy, Corliss will forward his decision in the case to the City Commission.

Commissioners can only determine if a policy change is warranted. Monroe said he hoped commissioners would make changes to the city’s gratuity policy because he believed it was flawed and not interpreted correctly.

He also said he pursued the grievance process because he wanted to return to his position.

“There are so many outstanding people at the Lawrence Police Department,” Monroe said, “and the overwhelming majority of them want me to come back.”

entire Kmart Corp. filed for bankruptcy protection. Many retail analysts questioned whether the chain could survive, and its parent company — Sears Holding Corp.

— did shutter several stores after slow holiday sales in 2011. But Heston said he’s still betting on a turnaround by the company.

“They have a lot of folks who have worked hard to make it better, and I think they’re on the right track,” Heston said.

Q:

Is it permissible to own a pool — either above ground or in ground — in the Old West Lawrence neighborhood?

A:

Megan Gilliland, the city’s communications manager, said that the city code doesn’t prevent pools in any particular neighborhood, as long as the landowner gets a city building permit and follows city regulations on setbacks and fencing. Getting a pool permit for a house in Old West Lawrence does require a historic resources review, however, and there may be a restrictive covenant in the neighborhood’s code. If so, she said, a dispute would be a civil matter.

Man pleads no contest in shooting case

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

A 27-year-old Lawrence man pleaded no contest Tuesday to aggravated battery and criminal possession of a firearm in connection with an April shooting of another Lawrence man.

William Verner was facing a trial on two attempted second-degree murder charges in the case after he was accused of shooting Chebon Chibitty, 22, in the leg and missing another man, Ryan Harjo, after an altercation early on April 1 outside an apartment in the 1300 block of Michigan Way. Prosecutor Kathleen Britton, an assistant Douglas County district attorney, said the state had evidence that Verner used the gun to shoot Chibitty and “caused great bodily harm.” Britton said it was illegal for Verner to possess a gun because he had

a drug conviction in Oklahoma in the last five years.

Harjo testified at a May preliminary hearing that he had chased Verner away from the area that night with an ax before the shooting. He said he was upset because he had accused Verner of stealing $50 from his wife weeks earlier. Prosecutors allege Verner returned to the area later in a car and fired into a crowd, missing Harjo and hitting Chibitty, a cousin of Harjo’s wife.

According to evidence in the case, Verner alleged he was acting in self-defense, and Verner’s girlfriend had testified he told her he shot a man who was swinging an ax at him.

District Judge Michael Malone said Tuesday defense attorney J.C. Gilroy planned to ask for a prison sentence of five years and eight months. Malone is scheduled to sentence Verner on Sept. 6.

Sedgwick County inmates seek $20M

ON THE RECORD

WICHITA — Jail inmates who claim they were sexually assaulted by a deputy are seeking $20 million from Sedgwick County, alleging the sheriff did not heed warnings about the deputy’s behavior.

Former jail deputy David Kendall, 21, faces 12 charges — 11 of them involving accusations of sex crimes that occurred between April and June. He is scheduled for a preliminary hearing Thursday on charges that include sexual battery, criminal solicitation to commit unlawful sexual relations, aggravated criminal sodomy and misdemeanor sexual battery.

Attorneys for the inmates filed two notices of claims with the county, which The Wichita Eagle obtained Monday after filing an open records request. Prosecutors say six inmates were assaulted, but it’s not clear how many of the inmates are included in the claims because the names were redacted by the county.

The notices of claim with the county are a first step toward a possible lawsuit, the Eagle reported.

54TH HOUSE DISTRICT

GOP candidates hoping for chance to face Mah

By Elvyn Jones ejones@theworldco.com

While many contested Republican races in the Aug. 7 primary pit conservatives against moderates, that’s not the case in the 54th Kansas House District.

Three candidates, Debra Childers, Ken Corbet and Dana Webber, are vying for the right to face Democrat Ann Mah, the incumbent in the 53rd District who found herself a resident of the 54th District when new district maps were redrawn in June. The largely rural 54th District covers the southern third of Shawnee County, the northern half of Osage County and southwest Douglas County. Among the communities in the district are Auburn, Carbondale, Overbrook and Scranton.

The Republican candidates are all self-identified conservatives, believe life begins at conception and support the tax-cut package the Kansas Legislature passed this session. The tax cuts reduce the top individual state income-tax rate to 4.9 percent from 6.45 percent and also will eliminate income taxes on nonwage income on many small businesses.

Debra Childers Childers lives in Shawnee County’s Auburn Township, where she said the workingclass, rural lifestyle of her and her h u s b a n d , Childers Howard, fits the 54th District. She has worked for Shawnee County for 20 years, first in the county clerk’s office and now in the sheriff’s office, and was

elected treasurer of Auburn Township after first being appointed to the position.

Childers said cleaning up the mess she inherited as township treasurer and her common sense approach to problem-solving will allow her to work with others to advance Gov. Sam Brownback’s goals.

“The governor is trying to make positive changes,” she said. “I support the big picture of what the governor is working toward.

He’s working toward doing away with state income taxes. That scares people. We need more people to come in and say, ‘that’s not a bad thing, but we don’t need to throw everything out either.’”

Ken Corbet Corbet said his roots in the district and the state extend on his mother’s side back to Irish i m m i grants who settled near Dover in the 1860s and on his faCorbet ther’s side to Scottish settlers who homesteaded near Valley Falls in the 1850s.

He is running because, as a small businessman — he owns the sportsmen retreat and bed and breakfast Ravenwood Lodge near Dover — he supports the tax cuts of the last session and wants to see more.

“If this state is going to survive, it is going to have to be more tax friendly than the states businesses are moving to,” he said.

“It’s the key to population growth. Population is shifting toward taxfriendly states. It’s not the weather. People are moving to those states because somebody was smart

enough to put together a tax package that allows business to thrive.”

Corbet would take aim at another tax, one that he says is on the minds of many he has talked to during his campaign.

“People are scared to death,” he said. “Retirees would like to see some kind of freeze of property taxes so they can stay in Kansas. We don’t want to get in the proposition that someone works 40 years, and then in retirement has to make a decision to pay property taxes or buy groceries.”

Dana Webber Webber describes herself as a “country girl,” having been raised in Norton.

She started working at 16 for Webber S o u t h western Bell in that northwestern Kansas town and retired from AT&T as a project management consultant.

Webber said she was running to give Osage County a voice in the Legislature.

“When they redrew the maps, it looked like Osage County wouldn’t have any representation,” the Scranton resident said.

“I’m concerned about rural communities having a voice.”

Webber said the tax cuts approved last session were needed.

“I’m for less government and less taxes,” she said. “I support them because it’s more money in the consumer’s pocket.”

Webber said she would support ending duplication of services in state offices and would look to the private sector to fill some functions now performed by the state.

“Printers. We have our own state printers,” she said. “Why can’t we contract with our local printers to do the job? There are things we could utilize our existing businesses to do. They could probably do it even better than we do.”

School issues The candidates said they have heard concerns about K-12 education funding on the campaign trail. To address that, they all support greater emphasis on getting money into the classroom.

Childers said she knows the value of facilities and helped lead a successful bond issue referendum in the Dover, Eskridge and Harveyville school districts. But she said teachers were what made the difference, noting that she graduated high school from an older building in Rossville.

“I’m very much behind education,” she said. “But I want to make sure it’s going to the students and not administrators and not having half a dozen administrators and vice principals.”

Webber also questioned K-12 spending priorities.

“I think we need more accountability based on where the funds are applied,” she said. “I’ve talked to teachers. They aren’t getting raises but are getting new computers.”

Corbet questioned whether the state’s education system was producing young people ready for the job market.

“I think kids are getting out of school without enough skills to hold a job,” he said. “It seems like there is a shortage of people who know how to fix things. I’d like to see students at least have the opportunity to take shop.

Not everybody is going to be a CEO.”

Coalition lauds women’s health benefits under Affordable Care Act

By Karrey Britt

“

What we have here is the single biggest legislative event for women since Title IX in that Starting today, health it opens the door to health care, so women are insurance plans must cover a new set of preven- not the other any longer.” kbritt@ljworld.com

tive services for women with no additional co-payments or deductibles.

These benefits include an annual wellness examination, screenings and counseling for domestic violence, contraception, and gestational diabetes screenings, and they fall under the Affordable Care Act. Representatives from a coalition of more than 50 women’s organizations called HERvotes lauded the legislation Tuesday during a conference call. The coalition is dedicated to mobilizing women voters around health and economic issues.

“It’s the first time in our history that insurers will have to cover our preventive services at no additional costs,” said Cindy Pearson, executive director of the National Women’s Health Network. She said the network has been advocating for such health care benefits since it was founded in 1975. “Finally, our laws and health policy recognize that these preventive services are essential to women’s health.”

Previously, some plans did not cover these preventive services, or if they did, women often had to pay out-of-pocket costs.

Now, plans are required to cover the services at no charge.

The new services are:

Annual wellness examination

Gestational diabetes screening for women 24 to 28 weeks pregnant and at the first prenatal visit for women who are at a higher risk for diabetes

High-risk human papillomavirus, or HPV, testing every three years regardless of Pap smear results for women who are 30 or older

Annual counseling on sexually transmitted infections

Screening and counseling on HIV/AIDS.

Access to contraceptive methods approved by the Food and Drug Administration, sterilization procedures and education

Breast-feeding support, supplies and counseling for pregnant and postpartum women

Screening and counseling for domestic and interpersonal violence According to a U.S. Health and Human Services report, about 47 million women are in health plans that must cover these new preventive services.

These are in addition to other benefits that already have kicked in, such as screenings for high blood pressure, cervical cancer and breast cancer.

Eleanor Smeal, president of the Feminist Majority Foundation, described the new benefits as a huge step forward in women’s rights.

“What we have here is the single biggest legislative event for women since

TV station break-in case going to trial TOPEKA — The man accused of breaking into at Topeka television station and injuring four employees will stand trial on seven charges.

After a preliminary hearing Monday, 48-year-old Ray Anthony Miles was bound over for trial. He faces three counts of aggravated battery and one count each of aggravated burglary and making a criminal threat, as well as two misdemeanor charges.

The 48-year-old Miles is accused of breaking into the WIBW-TV on May 23 because he was upset that the station would not do a story on problems he was having with the Veterans Administration.

— Eleanor Smeal, president of the Feminist Majority Foundation Title IX in that it opens the door to health care, so women are not the other any longer,” she said. “That standard care is not measured for a man and then everything for a woman is considered extra.”

According to a report released this year by the National Women’s Law Center, 92 percent of health plans charge women more than men. Even with maternity coverage excluded, it found nearly a third of plans charged 25and 40-year-old women at least 30 percent more than men for the same cover-

age and, in some cases, the difference was far greater.

Smeal said there is a movement to repeal the Affordable Care Act, but she said her group and many others will continue to fight for women’s health care rights.

“We are determined that this stays on the books and that women have the benefits of the 21st century,” she said.

Nonetheless, we hope local residents will brave the heat to enjoy the many fair activities that help unite rural and urban interests in the county.

The county fair is a traditional spot for farmers and gardeners to showcase the products of their summer labors.

Late July/early August often is the perfect time for residents to show off their prize tomatoes, flowers or other crops. Judges at Tuesday’s horticulture contest said entries in their fair categories had been declining for a number of years, but, because of this year’s heat wave, it’s easy to understand why it literally would be slim pickings in those categories this year.

Over the years, 4-H project areas have expanded well beyond traditional categories and now tap into the interests of many youngsters who don’t live on a farm. Whether they’re raising livestock, taking photos, working on robotics or honing their cooking skills, it’s great to see so many young 4-H’ers take some time away from a video screen or cellphone to pursue other activities.

A petting zoo and pony rides, scheduled every day through Saturday, are a rare opportunity for city kids to get up close and personal with farm animals.

The demolition derby, the tractor pull and the carnival are perennial favorites for fair-goers. Fair highlights are included in the Journal-World’s Datebook and the full schedule of events is available at www.dgcountyfair.com.

We know it’s tempting to stay in your air-conditioned home this week, but the Douglas County Fair is a great reason to venture outside or even just into one of the fairgrounds’ air-conditioned buildings for a while this week.

OLD HOME TOWN

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Aug. 1, 1912: “Leaving an open sewer on Massachusetts street unguarded last YEARS night came near resulting in a faAGO tal accident. Those who saw the IN 1912 incident are yet unable to explain how the most serious results were averted. Mrs. C. B. Wilson, the victim of the accident, was thrown from an auto that ran into the opening and fell head foremost to the bottom of the ditch. Her escape seems almost miraculous but she is but slightly injured as a result of the fall. … The construction company is putting in a new sewer on Warren street and at present Massachusetts street is torn up at this corner and a large ditch has been opened almost the entire width of the street. Only a small space next to the car tracks remains covered and usable.”

On a May visit to Kabul, President Obama said “a negotiated peace” was a key part of his plan to end the Afghan war.

This wasn’t surprising.

U.S. military commanders have long stressed that the war with the Taliban can’t be won militarily.

Yet, by the time Obama spoke, a yearlong effort by U.S. officials to engage key Taliban leaders had already faltered. Interlocutors for Taliban chief Mullah Mohammed Omar — who were set to open a first-time political office in the Gulf state of Qatar — suspended the process in March.

“Qatar is not over as an option, but the chances are considerably less than 50 percent,” a senior administration official recently told me.

When he spoke last week about ending the Afghan war, Obama never mentioned the words negotiated peace.

So here’s the question: If the Qatar process is in the deep freeze, where’s the political strategy for ending the war?

Skeptics will argue there was never any hope that Taliban leaders would meet U.S. and Afghan conditions for a deal. Those include: renouncing al-Qaida, laying down arms, and agreeing to abide by the Afghan constitution, which guarantees rights for women and minorities.

Taliban talks not pointless In the past, I was among those skeptics who thought the talks were pointless. I’ve changed my mind.

True, the breakdown in Qatar reveals the size of the challenge. The two sides couldn’t even succeed at confidence-building measures: The Taliban claim the United States reneged on a pledge to transfer five important Taliban prisoners from Guantanamo to Qatar (in return, the Taliban were supposed to return a U.S. soldier

These talks could backfire, so there’s no pressure from the White House to move them forward, especially in election season.” they are holding). U.S. officials say the deal collapsed over the Taliban’s refusal to guarantee the men would not leave Qatar and return to the fight in Afghanistan.

Clearly there were more serious problems. The Taliban are deeply split over peace talks. The administration also includes doubters.

These talks could backfire, so there’s no pressure from the White House to move them forward, especially in election season.

Yet the best time for talks with the Taliban is now.

Why so? Despite substantial military gains by U.S. troops in southern Afghanistan, the Taliban continue fighting, buoyed by their havens in Pakistan.

Administration officials rightly stress the importance of a recent accord with Kabul that provides for U.S. military advisers and trainers after 2014. These officials believe the accord, along with a series of international aid pledges, will convince Afghans they won’t be abandoned.

“You can’t underestimate the significance of the Strategic Partnership Agreement,” says the senior administration official. “They (the Taliban)

were living in a fantasy that after Dec. 31, we’d be gone.”

Yet, despite these commitments, Afghan ethnic groups that fought the Taliban in the 1990s are arming for battle.

The reason? They aren’t certain that the military gains will hold or that Western governments will keep their pledges.

Without a political agreement before 2014, Afghanistan could plunge into civil war.

That prospect also alarms some Taliban leaders, says Pakistani author Ahmed Rashid, a leading expert on the Taliban movement. “The Taliban know they can’t win an ethnic civil war,” says Rashid, especially since Afghanistan’s neighbors will back different factions. The fear of another brutal civil war like the one in the 1990s is what has focused some Taliban leaders on peace talks.

Luring divided Taliban What form those talks should take is under debate within the administration.

“There will be no negotiated deal with Mullah Omar,” I was told by the outgoing ambassador to Kabul, Ryan Crocker, in a phone interview. “It wouldn’t work here in Afghanistan. You have a fractured, divided Taliban.”

He added, “I’m not sure we need a Qatar office.”

Crocker believes the best approach is to peel off a significant number of Taliban leaders willing to reconcile with the Afghan government. “We can get it (a deal) by onesies and twosies, not some kind of grand bargain with Mullah Omar.”

Senior U.S. and Afghan officials view Agha Jan Motasim, a onetime top Taliban leader close to Mullah Omar, as someone “around whom you could organize a group of peaceminded Taliban.” That’s if he lives long enough to do so.

Motasim, who supports talks with the Americans, was

shot and nearly killed in Karachi, Pakistan, probably by Taliban hard-liners; he now lives in Turkey. He believes the Taliban must work with other groups and parties in Afghanistan, not pursue a return to power. Now that Motasim’s name has been taken off a United Nations terrorist list, U.S. officials are likely to beat a path to his door.

Deadline is motivation Administration officials also believe that, as 2014 approaches, the Taliban may be more willing to bargain directly with Afghans. (Until now, the Afghan government’s many private meetings with Taliban reps have led nowhere; the militants insist on negotiating first with the Americans.)

“Pay attention to Kyoto,” Crocker told me, a reference to a recent peace conference in Japan where an active Taliban leader sat with a senior Afghan government peace negotiator, Masoom Stanekzai.

This was the first such meeting in public (although the Taliban made no commitment there to any negotiations).

U.S. officials are also hopeful the Karzai government will finally recognize the need to address the concerns — and fears — of all Afghan factions in any talks with the Taliban.

Will talks with individual Taliban leaders or Afghanto-Afghan contacts be sufficient to advance a peace process? Uncertain. Probably unlikely. But any negotiating strategy will require a strong push from the White House, and timing is crucial as the 2014 deadline approaches.

“The shorter the time for negotiations, the more dangerous it becomes,” Rashid warns gloomily. “If the talks remain frozen, there will be a civil war.”

Chick-fil-A flap is a free speech issue Chick-fil-A President Dan Cathy is in hot water with the LGBT community because he committed the cardinal sin in an age of political correctness: Thou must not speak ill of anything gays, lesbians, bisexuals or transgenders wish to do.

In an interview with the Baptist Press and later on a Christian radio program, Cathy, whose father, the philanthropist Truett Cathy, founded the company, defended marriage between a man and a woman and when asked about the company’s support of traditional marriage said, “Guilty as charged.

Freedom of speech is guaranteed by the Constitution. Dan Cathy has a right to his opinion, so does Farrakhan, so do we all.”

ive of the family — the biblical definition of the family unit.” Cathy believes American society is rotting (and where is evidence to the contrary?) because the country has turned away from God. That was it. Cathy did not say he would deny someone with a different view than his the right to eat in or work at any of his fast-food restaurants, which would violate the law. He did not say anything hateful about them. He simply expressed a deeply held conviction rooted in his Christian faith.

The reaction tells you everything you need to know about certain liberals who believe every sort of speech,

activity and expression should be protected, except the speech, activity and expression of evangelical Christians.

Boston Mayor Thomas Menino said he would try to deny Chick-fil-A’s application for permits to open restaurants in that city. Now that’s discrimination. Menino wants to ban Chick-fil-A in Boston, not for discriminating against customers or employees, but because of its owner’s beliefs, a threat he has since backed away from. Does Boston have “thought police” who might be ordered to investigate whether other business owners already operating in the city hold similar views? I’ll bet there’s someone at Durgin-Park who holds similar views. What about a player for the Boston Red Sox? Better follow them to see if any of them go to church.

Maybe Mayor Menino would like to force business owners in the city to testify before an official panel of grand inquisitors and then deny operating licenses to anyone

who believes traditional marriage should be the norm?

In Chicago, Mayor Rahm Emanuel has said, “Chick-filA’s values are not Chicago values.” Are Chicago values represented by the anti-Semitic firebrand Louis Farrakhan with whom Emanuel is going to partner in hopes of reducing the number of homicides in his city? Are Farrakhan’s anti-Semitic and anti-gay sentiments somehow more palatable, more of value, than Dan Cathy’s support of marriage and family?

The Weekly Standard found a video posted on the Nation of Islam’s website of a Farrakhan speech two months ago in which he blasted President Obama for endorsing same-sex marriage. Farrakhan said Obama is “the first president that sanctioned what the scriptures forbid.” He added, “sin is sin according to the standard of God” and “the Bible forbids it.”

That goes a lot further than Dan Cathy.

The Jim Henson Company has decided to pull its Crea-

ture Shop toys from Chickfil-A and donate profits already made to GLAAD, the media-monitoring group that promotes the image of LGBT people. I knew Jim Henson when we both worked at the NBC-TV station in Washington in the mid-1960s. While we never discussed politics, I don’t think at the time, at least, he would have wanted his characters, which appeal to everyone, involved in a cultural and political battle.

This is more than an economic battle. It is a First Amendment issue. Freedom of speech is guaranteed by the Constitution. Dan Cathy has a right to his opinion, so does Farrakhan, so do we all.

The real “war” in this country is not only against the supposed civil right of nontraditional marriage. It is a war against conservative Christians and a denial of the same rights the LGBT community claims for itself. Free speech is an American value. We shouldn’t settle for anything less.

MICHAEL PHELPS POSES WITH HIS GOLD MEDAL for the men’s 4x200-meter freestyle relay Tuesday in London.

Phelps gets record medal ——

Swimmer mines gold for 19th Olympic award LONDON (AP) — Michael Phelps’ first gold medal of the London Olympics was one special prize.

The American swimming star broke the Olympic medals record as the United States romped to a dominating win in 4x200-meter freestyle relay.

With 19 career medals spanning three Olympics, Phelps moved one ahead of Soviet gymnast Larisa Latynina, who got her haul in 1956, 1960 and 1964. He helped the relay team to the victory after settling for silver when he glided at the end of the 200 butterfly earlier Tuesday.

The United States team of Ryan Lochte, Conor Dwyer, Ricky Berens and Phelps on the anchor leg won in 6 minutes, 59.70 seconds. France took the silver in 7:02.77, while China was third in 7:06.30.

Phelps now has 15 golds, two silvers and two bronzes. He still has three more events in London before he retires.

“It has been a pretty amazing career,” the 27-year-old Phelps said, “but we still have a couple races to go.”

South Africa’s Chad le Clos edged Phelps in the 200 fly, and American Allison Schmitt won the women’s 200 freestyle.

The U.S. women’s gymnastics team also had a big day. Jordyn Wieber kicked it off with a tremendous vault, and Aly Raisman closed it out with a solid floor exercise.

Team USA routed silver medalist Russia and everybody else on its way to its first Olympic title in women’s gymnastics since 1996.

The U.S. score of 183.596 made its final event more like a coronation.

When the floor score for Raisman flashed, the Americans screamed and a chant of “U-S-A! U-S-A!” rang out around the arena. The women held up their index fingers for the cameras — just in case anyone had a doubt.

“We knew we could do it.

We just had to pull out all the stops,” Raisman said.

Wieber went first and did perhaps the best one she’s ever done, getting great height in the air, her legs

Ten things to look for in preseason

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

One of the most anticipated preseason camps in Kansas University football history kicks off today, when the Jayhawks report to campus for their initial team meeting and then begin fall practice Thursday.

While new head coach Charlie Weis has been pretty open and honest about the

direction he plans to take the team, there still are some things that Weis has not been able to address in the offseason. Those things — and many more — will be on full display during the next few weeks as the Jayhawks fine tune their team for the Sept.

1 season opener against South Dakota State.

Here’s a quick look at the top stories we’ll be tracking at camp:

1

Back-up QB — We all know that Dayne Crist is KU’s starter, and we also know that if Crist stays healthy he’ll play the entire season. With keeping Crist on his feet one of the team’s top priorities, it’s only natural to wonder what happens if he isn’t. Red-shirt freshman Michael Cummings and juco transfer Turner Baty will spend fall camp battling to be Crist’s immediate backup, with Cummings holding

the advantage of having been here this spring and Baty having a four-inch height advantage. Should be a good duel.

Everyone in camp? — KU coach Charlie Weis said last week at Big 12 media days in Dallas, and again on a radio show Monday night, that the possibility remained that a couple of Please see TEN THINGS, page 3B

KU’s Self not quite so road-weary this summer

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

The just-completed July college basketball recruiting evaluation period wasn’t as taxing on Kansas University coach Bill Self as some in the past.

“The new calendar kind of

rejuvenates you. You get a chance to come home every week. It has not been bad at all,” Self said.

He adjusted well to new recruiting rules that sent coaches on the road July 1115, 18-22 and 25-29. In Julys past, coaches hit the road the first 10 days and last 10 days

of the month, with a break in the middle.

Self and his aides made their usual stops at AAU tournaments in Nevada, Florida and South Carolina during parts of July.

“We’re just trying to get the best players, period.

We got a couple of commit-

ments, but we need a big and a point guard to go with what we have,” Self said.

He filled two of his four available 2013 scholarship slots last school year, garnering early oral commitments from Wichita North combo guard Conner Frankamp and Tift County

(Forsyth, Ga.) High wing Brannen Greene.

“We’re excited about what we have. If we can get another great player, that’d be a bonus,” Self said. “We are trying to get the best players possible. We do need an Please see HOOPS, page 3B

Redd leaving Penn State for USC STATE COLLEGE, PA. (AP) — Star tailback Silas Redd has bolted Penn State for Southern California.

The 1,200-yard rusher opted Tuesday to leave a Nittany Lions program facing heavy NCAA sanctions handed down because of the Jerry Sandusky child-sex-abuse scandal. Among the penalties was a four-year postseason ban.

The NCAA gave Penn State players the option to transfer immediately and play for another school this year. Redd visited USC over the weekend and heard coach Lane Kiffin’s

pitch to be a key cog for a Trojans team expected to be highly ranked and contend for the Pac-12 title.

Redd The junior with the dazzling spin move will have two years of eligibility.

Redd became the second player to leave Penn State for a new program since the sanctions were announced July 23.

The other was backup safety Tim Buckley, who joined North Carolina State on Monday.

LONDON — Oh, the things that come out of the mouths of babes, er, athletes.

Vile things. Racist things. A ton of stupid things.

Greek triple jumper Voula Papachristou should be in London now, enjoying life in the athletes village while preparing for her specialty in the Olympic stadium. Instead she’s stuck back home after offering up her idea of a joke on Twitter, everyone’s medium of choice nowadays.

Swiss soccer player Michel Morganella made it here, but barely had time to check into the athletes village before he was sent packing.

The official motto of the London Olympics is “Inspire a Generation.� Maybe it should be “Keep Calm and Shut Up!�

It used to be drugs that got you kicked out of the Olympics.

Now it’s the most intoxicating drug of all: The ability to let the world know your thoughts in 140 characters or less.

The Olympics have always been populated by big talkers, from a young Cassius Clay to Charles Barkley, who said in 1992 he was afraid an Angolan player was going to pull a spear on him. Everything is magnified these days by social media, though, which isn’t always terribly social.

These are the Twitter Games, where things once said just between teammates or friends are now blared for everyone. Everything from the Olympic experience (just great) to the food (mostly bad) to how 18-year-old British weightlifter Zoe Smith looks (by most accounts, pretty good) is dissected online, often in great detail.

The IOC endorses it, mostly because it has no choice. Luckily, Twitter was in its infancy in Beijing or the Chinese government might have tossed everyone out for some of the comments that would have come that country’s way. Britain is, last time anyone checked, a democracy with certain free-speech rights, though there are laws against people going over the line.

But who among the fat cats running the IOC would have thought that the medium would be used to attack the organization itself? Apparently free food and lodging for three weeks and a chance to compete for a medal wasn’t enough to satisfy athletes who ran a Twitter campaign — so far unsuccessful — to be able to promote their own sponsors at the games.

The good thing is there’s no filter, allowing athletes to pass along their musings to their followers with no translators, spokesmen or Olympic officials getting in the way.

The bad thing is there’s no filter, allowing athletes to say anything they want no matter how ridiculous it is or whom it offends.

It’s not just athletes being stupid in London. Fans can also be total idiots, like the teenager who was arrested after posting messages to British diver Tom Daley.

the Trojan Family,� USC athletic director Pat Haden said in a statement. “He is an outstanding student and athlete.� “At USC, we’ve seen both sides of this issue, having lost a number of players to transfer due to our NCAA sanctions in 2010. But Lane Kiffin and his coaches would not be doing their job if they did not try to improve our team every single day. There is a specific need here for a player like Silas Redd, so Lane and our coaches recruited him within the guidelines set up in this instance by the NCAA.�

COMMENTARY

Twitter is trouble for athletes

Penn State said later Tuesday that tight end Kevin Haplea was also no longer with the team. It was unclear where the junior, who started one game last year, was headed. And then, there is the case of Rob Bolden, the backup quarterback, who was dropped from the roster as well.

But Redd, by far, is the most significant loss. He joins a program that is not unfamiliar with NCAA discipline. The Trojans, too, have been sanctioned by the NCAA — for rules violations committed during the 2004 and ‘05 seasons. “We welcome Silas Redd to

Rush, Warriors agree on two-year contract OAKLAND, CALIF. — Brandon Rush is back where he wanted to be all along.

Rush agreed to an $8 million, two-year deal Tuesday to stay with the Golden State Warriors after becoming the team’s most reliable reserve last season. Rush’s agent, Mark Bartelstein, said the second year of the contract is a player option. The deal is pending a physical that Rush will take in the next few days. “He’s thrilled,� Bartelstein said. “He had a terrific season with the Warriors. He loves playing for Mark Jackson, and he made it clear to me from the beginning of free agency that this is where he wanted to be.�

The signing highlights a busy two days for Golden State’s front office.

The Warriors agreed to sign free agent power forward Carl Landry — also represented by Bartelstein — on Monday. That deal is also worth about $8 million over two years with a player option for the second season.

Both moves solidify the bench and likely Golden State’s roster. The Warriors now have 15 players signed and no more salary cap space to shuffle without going into the luxury tax.

Rush, a restricted free agent, averaged 9.8 points and 3.9 rebounds in 26 minutes per game last season. Rush shot 45.2 percent from threepoint range — sixth best in the NBA — and was Golden State’s best option off the bench.

Before free agency began, the Warriors extended a qualifying offer to Rush on June 26 to make him a restricted free agent. The tender allowed the team to match any offer Rush received this summer.

No need for that now.

The 27-year-old Rush appeared in 65 games last season after coming over in a trade from Indiana for Lou Amundson. He posted career highs by shooting 50 percent from the field and 79 percent on free throws, fitting seamlessly into Jackson’s system and staying steady despite a rash of injuries that shattered the roster.

Rush was originally drafted 13th overall by Portland in 2008 after leading Kansas to the national championship. He was then traded to Indiana along with Jarrett Jack and Josh McRoberts for Jerryd Bayless and Ike Diogu.

BASEBALL

Rangers deal for Dempster Baseball’s haves picked up more players from the have-nots at Tuesday’s trade deadline, when Ryan Dempster was dealt from the Chicago Cubs to the Texas Rangers and Shane Victorino and Hunter Pence wound up on new teams.

Matt Garza, Josh Johnson and Joe Blanton stayed put for now as the window closed for clubs to make trades without having players pass through waivers.

Four days after the AL West rival Los Angeles Angels acquired former Cy Young Award winner Zack Geinke, the Rangers obtained Dempster for infielder Christian Villanueva and pitcher Kyle Hendricks. Texas also acquired catcher Geovany Soto from the Cubs for right-hander Jake Brigham.

Dempster, who will replace Roy Oswalt in the rotation, had power to block deals and refused to approve a trade to Atlanta last week. Dempster was 5-5 with a 2.25 ERA in 16 starts for the Cubs and can become a free agent after the season.

The faded Philadelphia Phillies, last in the NL East and their run five straight division titles all but over, sent Victorino to the Los Angeles Dodgers for right-handers Josh Lindblom and Ethan Martin and cash. They also shipped Pence to San Francisco for outfielder Nate Schierholtz, catching prospect Tommy Joseph and right-hander Seth Rosin.

The deals capped a busy two-week period that also saw Ichiro Suzuki, Hanley Ramirez, Anibal Sanchez and Francisco Liriano change teams as general managers assessed whether they had a chance to make this year’s expanded 10-team playoffs or whether to focus on rebuilding for 2013.

After winning a franchise-record 102 games last year, the Phillies never recovered from Ryan Howard’s stumble on the last out of last year’s NL division series against St. Louis. Howard, the 2006 NL MVP, tore an Achilles tendon and didn’t come off the disabled list until July 6. All-Star second baseman Chase Utley missed the first 76 games because of a chronic problem in both knees.

Pence is batting .271 with 17 homers and 59 RBIs this season. He fills a major need for the Giants, giving them a right-handed hitter with power.

The penalties added two years to UCF’s previously proposed three years’ probation. And they leave in place other sanctions: vacating basketball victories; a reduction in basketball scholarships; and, tighter limits on football recruiting visiting days.

Gymnastics coach hired

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

The weeks leading up to the start of the season will be significantly less stressful this year for the gymnasts at Free State and Lawrence high schools.

With new Firebirds and Lions coach Jessica McMurray already in place, they won’t have to worry about whether they will be able to compete in 2012. At this time last year, the schools had no coach, and the programs were in jeopardy before a lastminute hire salvaged their seasons.

Some of the senior players the Jayhawks reportedly tracked during the summer include guards Anthony Barber (6-2, Hampton, Va.), Xavier Rathan-Mayes (6-4, 205, Toronto), Frank Mason (5-11, Petersburg, Va.), Demetrius Jackson (6-1, Mishawaka, Ind.), Rysheed Jordan (6-4, Philadelphia), Allerik Freeman (6-4, Henderson, Nev.), Isaiah Lewis (6-3, Brooklyn, N.Y.) and Detrick Mostella (6-3, Landover Hills, Md.).

newcomers would not be in town for the start of fall camp. It looks as if defensive tackle Ty McKinney will be a few days late, but what about fellow-defensive tackle Jordan Tavai and offensive lineman Aslam Sterling?

3

Fifth offensive lineman — If Sterling reports to camp on time and in good shape, he’ll likely be a starter. But he’s a tackle, and even if he doesn’t make it on time, the Jayhawks have another solid option there in junior Riley Spencer. The big question is at right guard, where Gavin Howard — one of the smartest players on the roster — was penciled in as the starter throughout the spring. Can Howard hold down that spot this fall?

4

Top tight end — The Jayhawks have five legitimate options at tight end, but none of them has produced anything substantial heading into this season. Returners Jimmay Mundine and Trent Smiley have the luxury of familiarity, but neither has done much during their first couple of seasons in town. Notre Dame transfer Mike Ragone is the most experienced of the bunch, but he made just 11 catches for 109 yards during his Irish career. Also in the mix are juco transfer Charles Brooks and true freshman Jordan Smith.

Last week, KU co-captain Toben Opurum said the tight end could be KU’s most productive offensive weapon this season.

Tracking which player (or players) reaps the benefits will be fun to watch.

Denver East High. She was more than happy to fill the district’s need and hopes to provide some stability after the programs experienced a little turmoil. Taking over for the defending state champions at Free State isn’t too shabby, either.

“It really excites McMurray me that those girls were able to overcome and win state,” the new coach said.

Gymnastics and coaching, McMurray said, are in her blood. She competed at an elite level from the age of 6 until she was

14, and two of her three young daughters are avid gymnasts.

LHS athletic director Ron Commons was pleased to have McMurray on board.

“Her background and experience as a head coach is going to be beneficial to both schools,” Commons said.

FSHS athletic director Mike Hill agreed: “She just brings a lot of knowledge and energy, which will work really well with the kids.”

Through her work at LGA, McMurray already has met some of the gymnasts from both schools.

She expects that will give her a bit of an advantage when practice begins in less than two weeks.

“Being the new coach is never easy, and some of the girls are seniors and juniors,” McMurray said, “so it was nice to have a chance to meet them and interact with them so it’s not all brand-new territory on the first day of practice.”

McMurray hopes to maintain Free State’s recent success while helping LHS catch up with the Firebirds by working on the Lions’ routines and building higher scores.

Both Hill and Commons were thankful they could keep gymnastics alive in Lawrence — especially, Commons noted, with LHS hosting the state championship meet on Oct. 20.

Self said all of his players will receive plenty of playing time in exhibitions versus the Swiss National Team and French pro teams.

Could this be the season he finally breaks through? Equipped with the perfect blend of power and speed, Bourbon seems like the kind of back who could flourish in Weis’ system.

6

Wide-receiver shakedown — With Crist providing stability and a huge upgrade at quarterback, a lot of the interest in KU’s passing game shifts to which players the senior QB will be throwing to this fall. With 11 wide receivers listed on KU’s roster, Crist has plenty of options, but, obviously, not all 11 of those guys will factor into the game plan. We know seniors D.J. Beshears, Daymond Patterson and Kale Pick will make their share of plays, but which of the eight remaining receivers will step up to join them is a tougher question to answer. Several of those guys could get a shot this fall, but those who get the first crack at it will separate themselves during the next four weeks.

7

Competition at kicker — Last year’s starting place kicker, Alex Mueller, has left the program, and KU returns Ron Doherty, who handled both kicking and punting duties down the stretch last season. But Weis said earlier this summer that there would be multiple kickers and multiple punters in camp and that Doherty would have competition.

Two Lawrence Raiders baseball players were awarded scholarships at the team’s banquet.

Lawrence High graduate CJ Roush received the Al and Tony Ice Memorial Scholarship for “good

citizenship, high character and teamwork.”

The Carl Heinrich Memorial Scholarship went to Free State graduate JD Prochaska for “leadership, hustle and work for the benefit of the team.”

The Raiders voted Aaron Gile the team MVP.

This, that: Former KU center Sasha Kaun scored 13 points and grabbed six rebounds with four blocks in Russia’s 73-54 victory over China at the Olympic Games in London. Russia, 2-0, will meet Brazil on Thursday. ... ESPN has reported that former KU guard Tyshawn Taylor’s twoyear contract with the Brooklyn Nets is guaranteed. The second-round pick will make $473,604 this season and $788,872 in 2013-14.

Smiles on the faces of Buddy Wyatt and Dave Campo — It was a rough spring for KU’s defensive line coach and defensive coordinator. Why? Because they were asked to work with a handful of guys who would not even be in the two-deep depth chart when the season rolled around. But that’s a thing of the past now.

How do the Jayhawks look mentally? — Although things have been tough behind the doors of the Anderson Family Football Complex, the past several months also have been a honeymoon period for the KU football program. The new coach with the big name has restored hope and brought to town several players and coaches who are hellbent on getting the program headed in the right direction again. For the most part, that has provided plenty of reason to smile, but now that the season actually has arrived, what will these guys look like at practice? Will the funloving smiles give way to sharp focus? Will getting it right and working their butts off replace “enjoying the college experience?”

10

How do the Jayhawks look physically? — Weis said recently that strength coach Scott Holsopple took before and after pictures of every player on the team this summer. I’m guessing it’s quite a collection. From everything we’ve heard, the Jayhawks are in better shape than ever before, and several guys have added or dropped weight, toned up and ripped out. If the new look is as impressive as we’ve heard it is, it will stand out right away.

Braves 7, Marlins 1 ATLANTA — Kris Medlen had a successful return to the rotation, Brian McCann homered, and Atlanta beat Miami for its seventh straight win.

The Associated Press

Pirates 5, Cubs 0 CHICAGO — A.J. Burnett took a no-hitter into the eighth inning, Neil Walker drove in five runs, and Pittsburgh beat Chicago after the Cubs traded ace Ryan Dempster on Tuesday.

Burnett just about stole the spotlight after the Cubs traded their best pitcher to Texas just before the non-waiver deadline. His bid for a second career no-hitter and the sixth in the majors this season ended with two outs in the eighth.

He had already hit Darwin Barney in the helmet with one out before striking out Luis Valbuena, but his no-hit bid ended at the hands of a rookie when pinch-hitter Adrian Cardenas lined a 3-2 pitch to right for a single after two close pitches were called balls.

AMERICAN LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Pujols tags two against Texas Angels 6, Rangers 2 ARLINGTON, TEXAS — Albert Pujols hit two home runs, and Jered Weaver won his eighth straight start, leading Los Angeles over on Tuesday night.

Mike Trout also homered as Los Angeles beat the AL West leaders for the second straight day.

The charging Angels and Rangers have two games left in the series.

Weaver (14-1) gave up two runs and five hits in 61⁄3 innings. He became the eighth AL pitcher since 1921 to win at least six games without a loss in July.

Derek Holland (7-6) took the loss. Earlier in the day, Texas acquired Chicago Cubs ace Ryan Dempster in a deal shortly before the trade deadline.

White Sox 4, Twins 3 MINNEAPOLIS — A.J. Pierzynski hit a two-run home run in the ninth inning, and Chicago held on to beat Minnesota.

After Alex Rios singled off Jeff Gray (5-1), Pierzynski hit a 0-2 pitch into the right field bleachers for his second homer in as many nights.

Matt Thornton (3-6) pitched a 1-2-3 eighth for the win.

Addison Reed allowed an RBI single to Denard Span in the bottom of the ninth, but still earned his 17th save in 20 chances.

Span had four hits for the Twins, whose win streak was snapped at four.

In his first start with the White Sox, Francisco Liriano allowed two earned runs and four hits in six innings.

Orioles 11, Yankees 4 NEW YORK — Chris Davis hit a go-ahead grand slam in the Orioles’ sevenrun second inning, and Baltimore rallied from five runs down.

Nick Markakis had a two-run homer among his three hits for the Orioles, who have won four of their last six, but finished July 13-14.

Ivan Nova allowed a career-high nine runs in five innings for New York, which tied a season-worst skid with four straight losses and made some dubious history in the process. According to STATS, LLC, the Yankees haven’t led by five or more after the first inning and then trailed after the second since at least 1918.

Detroit had the bases loaded with two outs when the tarp was rolled onto the field. The game was called 1 hour, 45 minutes later, giving the Red Sox their fourth straight win and sending the Tigers to their fifth loss in six games.

Mortensen (1-0) allowed one hit and three walks with one strikeout after being recalled earlier in the day from Triple-A Pawtucket.

Tigers ace Justin Verlander (11-7) gave up all four runs in the fourth inning when he issued two of his four walks.

KANSAS CITY’S ALEX GORDON RESTS AT SECOND BASE after hitting an RBI double during the third inning of the Royals’ 8-3 victory over the Indians on Tuesday in Kansas City, Mo.

Royals snap 5-game skid KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — Royals manager Ned Yost watched as Jarrod Dyson hit a long fly ball and knew that’s about as far as he could hit it.

“That’s a Jarrod Dyson cycle, I would call it — a single, double, triple and a ball to the wall,” Yost said.

“That’s as close to the cycle as he’s ever going to get I think.”

Dyson and Alex Gordon each had three hits, and Alcides Escobar drove in three runs, and the Kansas City Royals beat the Cleveland Indians, 8-3, Tuesday night to snap a five-game losing streak.

Dyson, a speedster, has not homered in 291 at-bats in the majors and has only four in seven minor league seasons. He came close in the third inning when he sent Indians right-fielder Shin-Soo Choo to the warning track.

“I didn’t think I got all of it,” Dyson said. “I guess that’s a Dyson cycle because I don’t swing for pop, so that’s as probably as close as you’ll see them go.”

Escobar had two hits for his 34th multihit game,

raising his average to a team-leading .307.

“He’s been doing that all year,” Yost said.

Chris Getz had two hits and drove in two runs, while Gordon contributed two doubles and leads the league with 36 two-base hits. The Royals scored all their runs in the first three innings.

“Alex is starting to pull the ball more now, which

is good for us and bad for the opposition because he’s got tremendous power,” Yost said. “We had good offensive output up and down the lineup the whole way. That’s key we haven’t been able to put together a succession of hits like that where we can tack on some runs and get a big inning.”

Luke Hochevar settled down after giving up three runs over the second and third innings. One run scored on Johnny Damon’s infield single in the second when Hochevar failed to cover first base.

“That’s frustrating,” Hochevar said. “You can’t give away runs. That’s extremely upsetting.”

In the third inning, Asdrubal Cabrera scored on Hochevar’s wild pitch.

Hochevar (7-9) gave up three runs on seven hits and three walks, while striking out six.

The Royals broke open the game with a five-run third, which was highlighted by Getz’s two-run double and Escobar’s RBI triple. The five-run third was one shy of the club’s biggest inning this season.

Indians starter Derek Lowe failed to finish the third and balked in a run.

Lowe (8-10) was pulled after allowing seven runs on eight hits, two walks and a balk in 2 1/3 innings.

“There wasn’t much life to his pitches,” Indians manager Manny Acta said. “His sinker only got two groundballs. Even the ones they didn’t hit hard got through. It put us in a big hole.”

In his past three starts, Lowe is 0-3 with a 15.88 ERA, allowing 20 earned runs and 23 hits in 11 1/3 innings. Since starting the season 6-1 with a 2.05 ERA on May 15, Lowe is 2-9 and his ERA has climbed to 5.52.

Lorenzo Cain, who also had two hits, had a runproducing single in the first. In the second Escobar’s single to right scored Getz and Dyson.

Notes: The Royals finished July with a 7-19 record. ... Choo struck out four times. ... In a minor league trade, the Indians acquired 1B-OF Lars Anderson from the Boston Red Sox for Double-A Akron RHP Steven Wright.

K.C. trades Broxton to Reds CINCINNATI (AP) — Unable to upgrade their everyday lineup, the Cincinnati Reds instead strengthened the back end of their bullpen Tuesday by acquiring closer Jonathan Broxton from Kansas City for a pair of minorleague pitchers.

Manager Dusty Baker plans to use Broxton as a set-up man for closer Aroldis Chapman, who has dominated while finishing games. Baker said Broxton could be used in save situations when Chapman has pitched several days in a row.

The Reds surged into the NL Central lead by winning 10 in a row before their 11-5 loss to San Diego on Monday night. They’ve

pulled it off without first baseman Joey Votto, their top hitter. Votto is expected back in a few weeks.

“We had several deals for position players we looked at, and in the end, we just felt we liked what we had and the deals didn’t make sense for us,” general manager Walt Jocketty said. “So we decided to focus on pitching.

“We said, at the beginning, we were going to try to look for a leadoff hitter, cleanup hitter, bench help or strengthen our pitching, and the position player deals just weren’t right for us. We felt good about adding an arm like Broxton. We’re still going to look at things in August, deals that can be made.”

Broxton expected a trade, but was surprised to wind up with Cincinnati.

“I kind of seen it coming, but I didn’t see Cincinnati,” he said in Kansas City, where the Royals were getting ready to play Cleveland.

“But they were real aggressive late is what (GM Dayton Moore) said — that everything that was going on was Texas, Texas, Texas. Cincinnati jumped right in the last second and got me.”

The Reds gave up 24-year-old left-hander Donnie Joseph and 23-year-old right-hander Juan Carlos Sulbaran. Joseph was 4-1 with a 2.86 ERA and five saves at Triple-A. Sulbaran was 7-7 in

19 starts with a 4.04 ERA in Double-A. Broxton goes from a team last in the AL Central at 41-60 to one with the second-best record in the majors at 61-41. Cincinnati led Pittsburgh by three games at the time of the trade.

“I’m going somewhere where I’m picking up 2025 games (in standings),” Broxton said. “I enjoyed my time here, but this is part of baseball, so go over there and hopefully we can win a division over there.”

Reds players sat in front of the bank of big-screen television sets in the clubhouse Tuesday watching news of the various trades, hoping they wouldn’t be involved in one of them.

and a net, which looks sort of like a soccer net.

But you can’t kick the ball: you have to throw it into the net. The players can bounce the ball, but sometimes they hold it and run with it, but only a little way. Sometimes they seem to be trying to tackle each other, but they never actually do.

The winner is the first team that can name six vegetables that begin with the letter “C.” Or something like that; I was not totally clear on what was going on. I don’t think the spectators were, either, but they were wildly enthusiastic, because they were rooting for their home girls, the Great Britain women’s team. Their opponent

was the Russian women’s team, which is also the women’s handball team for Italy, Germany and Poland, as well as the men’s handball team for Uruguay.

In the end, the British women got creamed, but the crowd gave them a long and loud standing ovation anyway. The Brits are crazy mad for their Olympic athletes, win or lose. Unlike in Beijing, where the home team cleaned up, the British athletes at these games have been regularly coming up short in events where they supposedly had a chance at gold medals. But the British reaction to a loss, no matter how painful, is never angry or bitter. It’s

basically the same as the British reaction to rain: “Oh, well.”

And when a British athlete wins a medal, even if it’s a bronze in some event like the men’s 10-meter egg toss, everybody becomes wildly excited, at least for the British. What I’m saying is, these people actually have a sense of sportsmanship. Sometimes, when they lose and they’re being stoic about it, I want to give them all a great big hug.

That was some really good beer.

And now it’s time for Olympic event results.

SPOILER ALERT: Do not read these results if you’re following the Olympics on NBC, which,

locked together. When her feet slammed into the mat on landing, she threw up her arms and smiled broadly. Anyone wondering how she was coping with the devastation of missing out on the allaround competition had their answer.

The U.S. men’s basketball team got off to a slow start against Tunisia, then took off when coach Mike Krzyzewski went to his reserves.

Carmelo Anthony and Kevin Love scored 16 points apiece to lead Team USA to a 110-63 victory. Kevin Durant added 13 and Anthony Davis had 12 for the Americans, who will face Nigeria on Thursday night.

Anthony, Love, Deron Williams, Russell Westbrook and Andre Iguodala opened the third quarter with a 21-3 run, turning a surprisingly close 13-point lead into a 67-36 bulge before any of the more celebrated starters finally got to play in the second half.

Also Tuesday, a female judo fighter from Saudi Arabia was cleared to wear a form of headscarf in the Olympics after a compromise was reached that respects the “cultural sensitivity” of the Muslim kingdom.

Judo officials had said they would not let Wojdan Ali Seraj Abdulrahim Shahrkhani compete in a headscarf because it was against the principles of the sport and raised safety concerns. But an agreement was reached after several days of IOC-brokered talks between the International Judo Federation and the Saudi Olympic Committee, allowing her to compete Friday in the heavyweight division.

“They have a solution that works for both parties, all parties involved,” International Olympic Committee spokesman Mark Adams said. “The athlete will compete.”

Saudi Arabia, which had never sent female athletes to the Olympics before, brought its two first female Olympians to London on condition they adhere to the kingdom’s Islamic traditions, including wearing a headscarf.

Shahrkhani’s participation was thrown into doubt last week when judo officials said a headscarf could be dangerous because of chokeholds and aggressive grabbing techniques.

Without giving precise details, Adams said the headscarf agreement is in line with Asian judo rules and is “safety compliant but allows for cultural sensitivity.”

Olympic officials defended Chinese teen swimmer Ye Shiwen against whispers of doping after she won the 400-meter individual medley Saturday in world-record time — and she made her own statement by winning another gold medal in the 200 IM on Tuesday night.

Kansas soccer players eliminated from Games J-W Staff and Wire Reports

NEWCASTLE, ENGLAND — Kansas University soccer sophomore Ingrid Vidal started and played 81 minutes Tuesday morning, but Elodie Thomis scored the deciding goal in the fifth minute as France advanced to the second stage with a 1-0 triumph over Colombia at St. James’ Park.

Vidal, a sophomore forward at KU from Palmira, Colombia, started in the midfield for the second consecutive match and played late into the second half. Kansas teammate Liana Salazar did not play against France on Tuesday.

The 16-year-old clocked 2:07.57 to shave 0.18 off her own mark set in Monday’s semifinal — good enough for an Olympic record and her second gold medal in London.

Ye had closed the 400 with a lap of 28.93 seconds — faster than the 29.10 Lochte posted in the last 50 of the men’s race.

Ye’s time was 4:28.43, more than a second faster than the previous world record set by Australia’s Stephanie Rice at the 2008 Beijing Games in a nowbanned bodysuit.

John Leonard, head of the American Swimming Coaches Association but not a member of the U.S. Olympic staff, was among those openly questioning Ye’s legitimacy. The Guardian newspaper quoted him as saying the last 100 of her 400 IM race “was reminiscent of some old East German swimmers.”

“We need to get real here,” the IOC’s Adams said. “These are the world’s best athletes competing at the very highest level. We’ve seen all sorts of records broken already all over the place.”

France earned its second win in group play, scoring early in the match and holding off the Colombian attack over the final 85 minutes.

Colombia’s women’s soccer team was competing in its first Olympic Games this year, making its debut on July 24 in a 2-0 loss to North Korea. Colombia also fell to the United States on Saturday, 3-0. Vidal started the final two matches and totaled 211 minutes of field time during the Olympic Games. Salazar started the first match and played 76 minutes, before coming off the bench against the U.S. Asked about Leonard’s comments, FINA president Julio Maglione told The Associated Press people are free to say “stupid things” if they want.

“It’s a big mistake,” Maglione said of Ye’s doubters. “The people that said this is crazy.”

He said FINA spends $1 million to drug-test the top 30 swimmers in the world two or three times a year and “swimming is absolutely clean.”

The rest of the Olympic action Tuesday:

Equestrian Zara Phillips gave the royal family plenty to cheer about, helping team Britain to a second-place equestrian finish behind Germany. Princes William and Harry and William’s wife, Kate, were in the stands to watch their cousin as she competed in the show jumping final portion of Olympic eventing.

Phillips’ mother, Princess Anne, watched as well — then presented her daughter and the rest of the winners with their medals at the cer-

Both players are veterans to soccer at the international level as Salazar and Vidal both played for the Colombian national team during the 2011 World Cup in Germany.

After Tuesday’s game, Vidal was one of two Columbia players hospitalized with injuries.

Midfielder Catalina Usme was carried off in first-half stoppage time at St. James Park due to a right knee injury and was eventually admitted to Spire Washington Hospital.

Vidal was taken to Royal Victoria Infirmary by ambulance two hours after the match for dehydration. emony before horses and riders took a thunderous group victory lap around the Greenwich Park stadium.

to get on the ground and do “the worm.”

Nearly 30,000 attended the first women’s soccer game played in 23 years at Old Trafford, the home of Manchester United.

Host Britain also is perfect through three matches, blanking Brazil 1-0 to delight an electric crowd of 70,584 at Wembley Stadium. Kelly Smith had the only goal.

New Zealand beat Cameroon 3-1, and France topped Colombia 1-0. Japan played a scoreless draw against South Africa, and Sweden and Canada tied 2-2.

Tennis Andy Roddick spent less than an hour on the court during an emphatic loss to Novak Djokovic.

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga needed a much longer run to advance against Milos Raonic.

Roddick lost 6-2, 6-1 to Djokovic in 54 minutes, leaving the 29-year-old American to fend off more questions about retirement.

The second-ranked Djokovic had 34 winners on Centre Court at the All England Club. Roddick had 12.

Tsonga of France moved on by winning the longest set in Olympic history.

He beat Raonic of Canada 6-3, 3-6, 25-23. The final set lasted three hours and 257 points.

Andy Murray, Marcos Baghdatis and Kei Nishikori also won on the men’s side. Maria Sharapova and Venus Williams were among the winners in the women’s tournament.

Beach volleyball Americans Todd Rogers and Phil Dalhausser rallied for a 19-21, 21-16, 15-13 victory against Spain and remain unbeaten in the preliminary round of the beach volleyball tournament.

LONDON (AP) — Jordyn Wieber didn’t wait for the arena announcer to finish saying her name before the reigning world champion took off.

The sooner she could get past the most crushing disappointment of her stellar career, the better.

Eyes set down the runway, Wieber sprinted as if the gold medal was inches in front of her — the medal the U.S. women’s gymnastics team has been chasing for 16 years.

Three seconds later, she grabbed it.

The moment Wieber drilled the vault that would kickstart the Americans’ blowout win in Tuesday’s team finals, all the angst of missing the individual all-around finals disappeared.

And she remembered, this was never really about her.

“A team gold medal was also officially a goal of mine,” Wieber said. “I had to pull myself together and move on and be stronger mentally for the team.”

Standing atop the podium together in London, after all, was the real prize Wieber and the rest of the “Fierce Five” set about chasing long ago, the one that would cement them as perhaps the greatest Olympic champions of all-time.

When an official draped the medal with the deep purple ribbon around Wieber’s neck, the driven 17-year-old exhaled. Maybe she’ll only get one gold at these games. It certainly beats the alternative.

“It’s a joy,” Wieber said.

And her teammates weren’t going to let her miss out on it.

Everyone was stung

by Wieber’s failure to qualify for the individual all-around, finishing third when rules limit countries to just two entrants per team. Good buddies McKayla Maroney and Aly Raisman gave the best gymnast of her generation a shoulder to cry on.

“I just tried to motivate her,” said Maroney, who wouldn’t get into details about the talk. “Sometimes, you just need a friend.”

And the U.S. certainly needed Wieber to return to the form that made her nearly unbeatable during the last three years. The Russians had finished just 1.4 points back in team qualifying, a gap that could be overcome if the Americans bobbled.

Not with Wieber flashing the power and tenacity that made her the heavy goldmedal favorite coming in.

Turn lunch box drudgery into a pleasant picnic Gorp

By Elizabeth Karmel For The Associated Press

Most people consider packing lunch a chore.

But I’ve always thought there is something exciting about brown bagging it. It’s like getting to take a picnic to school, on an airplane or to work.

And when you think of lunch as an opportunity to pack a special meal, it can go from dull to delicious! I learned long ago that I would be happier if I brought the foods that I like to eat from home instead of hoping that the cafeteria or nearby food court would have something to satisfy me.

A good friend of mine calls it the $10 upgrade.

Which is to say that for about $10, more or less, you can easily elevate lunch from coach to first class. After making many lunches, catering in my restaurant and learning a few tricks from my mother and other brown bag fanatics, I have some tips for making brown bag lunches stay fresh, safe, interesting and delicious.

Freeze bread and make sandwiches with the frozen slices. Wrap the assembled sandwich in a dry paper towel and slip it into a zip-close plastic bag or wrap with foil. By the time lunch arrives, the bread will be thawed and taste fresh and soft. Plus, the paper towel becomes a “placemat” for your sandwich.

A GORP-STUFFED APPLE is an easy way to add pizzazz to a brown bag lunch.

Freeze individual water or juice containers.

Once frozen, wrap them in a paper towel and either foil or plastic wrap and place in the lunch box.

Your frozen drink will double as a cold pack for keeping the lunch “refrigerated” and food safe. And (of course) it provides an icy cold drink.

Create themes to inspire lunches. Use favorite books, movies or holidays for kid’s and use favorite cuisines or pastimes for adults.

Think about your favorite picnic foods.

They can become great lunch items. I especially like deviled eggs; peanutbutter stuffed celery; pimento cheese and pret-

zel rods; apple slices and goat cheese; fresh cherries, etc.

Pack one indulgent treat, such as a homemade cookie or brownie, granola bar, a square of dark chocolate, dark chocolate covered almonds or whatever your favorite treat is.

Pack one item that can be eaten as snack. My favorite snack is a batch of my homemade gorp (good ole raisins and peanuts). Portion into snack-sized bags so they are ready to pack at any time. Or up the ante and mix a couple tablespoons of gorp into a couple of tablespoons of peanut butter, then use to make a gorp-stuffed apple.

The Star Tribune

A summer dessert, like the proverbial revenge, is best served cold.

A refrigerator cake is the “great aunt” of such desserts — a little oldfashioned, yet exuding a bit of quiet elegance whenever she arrives on the scene. A serene square of chilled fruit, cool cream and a bit of cake provides a welcome antidote to a steamy evening, or a pretty dessert for a bridal shower (and is a whole lot more satisfying than a dish of sorbet).

Even better, such a cake has to be made ahead of time so it can chill thoroughly.

The term “refrigerator cake” encompasses a wide range of desserts, many of which had their origins in a layered combination of whipped cream and purchased chocolate wafers or graham crackers, so that kitchens never needed to be heated up by baking. Fruit was sometimes added. Then, perhaps with the advent of air conditioning or better insulated ovens, cake rose to claim its place as the best way to sandwich fruit and cream.

We used strawberries for our cake, but you can use almost any fruit you like: velvety mangoes, tart blueberries, fresh pineapple, even bananas with a sprinkling of toasted coconut. This isn’t an especially sweet dessert, with no added sugar on the fruit and only a bit in the whipped cream, which means it’s important to use fruit at peak ripeness.

Summer’s Best Refrigerator Cake Serves 12 to 15.

Note: Mascarpone cheese, which comes in a small tub, is added for both flavor and to stabilize the whipped cream. The basic cake recipe, adapted slightly from “The King Arthur Flour Baking Companion,” may be baked in a 9-by-13 pan or in two (8- or 9-inch) round pans. We like fresh strawberries as a filling, but other fruits such as mangoes or blueberries would work, too. Tossing the fruit with a liqueur such as Grand Marnier or Chambord adds another layer of flavor, but is optional.

1 cup (2 sticks) butter,

Place the gorp in a food processor and pulse for 3 to 5 seconds, or until lightly chopped. Transfer to a small bowl and mix in the peanut butter. Set aside.

To make the apple bowls, carefully slice each apple in half down the center. Use a melon baller to hollow out each of the 4 apple halves, leaving about 1/2 inch of apple flesh to form the bowls. Brush the apples lemon juice to prevent Gorp-Stuffed Apple with browning.

Refrigerator cake a timeless dessert

By Kim Ode

I love making gorp because I can customize it and add all of my favorite fruits and nuts. Substitute soy nuts for the peanuts if nut allergies are a concern.

Start to finish: 5 minutes Makes about 4 3/4 cups 1/2 cup toasted coconut flakes 1/2 cup roasted, unsalted cashews 1/2 cup roasted, unsalted almonds 1/2 cup roasted, salted peanuts or soy nuts 1/2 cup banana chips, lightly crushed 1/2 cup M&M’s 1/2 cup peanut M&M’s 1/4 cup toasted pepitas (shelled pumpkin seeds) 1/4 cup dried cherries 1/4 cup raisins 1/4 cup diced dried apricots 1/4 cup finely diced crystallized ginger In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and gently

softened 1 tbsp. baking powder 1 3/4 cup superfine or granulated sugar 3/4 tsp. salt 2 tsp. vanilla extract 1 tsp. almond extract 5 egg whites 2 3/4 cups cake flour 1 cup milk Filling: 2 quarts strawberries, or equivalent of other fruit 2 tbsp. liqueur (Grand Marnier, Chambord or other), if desired 8 oz. mascarpone cheese, at room temperature (see Note, above) 1/4 cup powdered sugar 4 cups (2 pints) heavy cream (see below) Directions: To make the cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Line baking pan or pans with parchment paper cut to fit, to aid in flipping the cake out of the pan.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, baking powder, sugar, salt and extracts until fluffy and light, at least 5 minutes.

Add the egg whites to the butter mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition. (Save the yolks to supplement scrambled eggs, or mix with milk for French toast.)

Mix one-third of the flour into the creamed mixture, then half the milk, another third of the flour, the remaining milk, and the remaining flour. Be sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl occasionally throughout this process.

Pour the batter into prepared pan(s). For a 9- by13-inch cake, bake for about 35 minutes. For 8-inch round pans, bake 23 to 26 minutes.

For 9-inch round pans, bake 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack.

While cake is cooling, wash and hull strawberries, then cut them into 1/4-inch slices — too thin and they’ll lose their “strawberryness.” If using liqueur, toss berries in it. Set aside.

When the cake is cool, run a knife around the outside edges, then cover with a cookie sheet or other flat tray that will fit inside your refrigerator. (You can also reassemble the cake in the original pan, if desired.)

Carefully flip the pan upside-down, releasing the cake onto the tray. Gently peel off the parchment paper.

Using a long serrated knife, carefully split the cake horizontally into two

thin layers. To help keep the knife level, you can insert toothpicks into the sides of the cake as a guide.

Work your hands under the top layer of cake and transfer to a cookie sheet.

Set aside.

To make the filling: In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the mascarpone cheese and powdered sugar until light and fluffy, then add the heavy cream, beating until the cream holds a peak. Watch carefully; it may seem like it’s not going to thicken, then it will suddenly come together.

Measure out about onethird of the whipped cream and drop in dollops across the cake, then spread to cover the entire surface.

Cover the cream layer with sliced strawberries, several slices thick, making sure to go all the way to the edges; reserve some for top of cake. Carefully top with reserved layer of cake, pressing gently to adhere to fruit.

Use remaining whipped cream to cover the top and sides of the cake. (Note: If reassembling cake in the baking pan — and not frosting the sides — you will only need to whip 3 cups of heavy cream.)

Cover with plastic wrap, sticking toothpicks over the surface of the cake to hold the wrap away from the whipped cream. Refrigerate at least 4 hours. Garnish with additional fruit before serving. Serve cake cold.

Keep options open While we think that whipped cream and berries is one of summer’s best combos for this cake, several other variations seem just as appealing.

Use this cake as a canvas to come up with other choices.

Combine a little lemon curd or lemon zest with the whipped cream (with or without the mascarpone) for a light lemony filling on the inside.

Chocolate more your style? Fold in mini-mini chocolate chips to the filling (with or without the mascarpone) or add finely chopped chocolate to the mixture.

Or think crumbs, as in Oreo crumbs, if you’re a fan of the Blizzard-style summer treat. Fold those into the whipping cream filling instead, in a variation of the Nabisco chocolate wafer/whipped cream dessert.

Go for the party gold with Olympic-themed menu

By Jackie Burrell San Jose Mercury News

Journal-World File Photo

CORN DOGS ARE A QUINTESSENTIAL CARNIVAL FOOD. All manner of fried, frozen and sweet treats will be available at the Douglas County Fair this week.

Fair fare in a class by itself

London’s all afroth, and who can blame those Brits?

The Olympics are on; England’s glorious capital is hosting the games — and we’ll be glued to the telly, watching all those bronzed swimmers, runners and gymnasts going for the gold and silver, as we enjoy some suitable pub grub inspired by some of England’s brightest culinary stars.

Great Britain is home to some of our favorite chefs, including Jamie Oliver, Gordon Ramsay and Chez Panisse alum Claire Ptak, the Marin County, Calif.born pastry chef who fell in love with a Londoner and moved across the Pond.

So we’ve called upon their cookbooks and troves of recipes for inspiration.

We’re also adding a dash of Beatles to this Olympics-watching menu, with a little help from a new vegetarian cookbook, “The Meat Free Monday Cookbook,” edited by Annie Rigg with recipes and prose by Paul McCartney and his family and friends.

It’s not every day the opportunity presents itself to eat Indian tacos, blooming onions and cotton candy — and then ride the Tilt-A-Whirl — all in the same night.

Your once-a-year chance has arrived.

Moore’s Greater Shows Carnival opens at 6 p.m.

Wednesday and runs through Saturday at the Douglas County Fairgrounds, 2110 Harper St. In addition to carnival rides and games, there will be plenty to eat. According to the Douglas County Fair Board, these food vendors are expected to be on hand:

Zulando Curley: snow cones

Paydro and Lena’s Ca-

tering and Concessions: Mexican and American food

Patterson Concessions: hand-scooped ice cream, shakes, malts, hot fudge sundaes

Mass Street Sweet Shoppe: popcorn, cotton candy, nuts, snow cones, limeades and lemonades

Tropical Shaved Ice: snow cones, corn dogs, taco burgers, funnel cakes

Crazy 8 Concessions: chicken sandwiches, chicken fingers, pork tenderloin, nachos, pretzel bites, curly fries, sweet potato fries

Forward Enterprises: blooming onions, Texas twister fries, Philly cheese steak, gyros

Dry Creek Buffalo Co.: chuckwagon buf-

falo burgers, bison brisket sandwich, buffalo nachos

W-C Concessions: Indian tacos, meatball sandwiches

Biemer’s BBQ: barbecued pork, beef and turkey

Echo City Concessions: curly fries, pork tenderloins, cherry limeade, steak burgers

Hoots Lemonade: fresh-squeezed lemonade and cherry limeade

Judges

would be a fun way to introduce him to the idea.

Even with fewer entries, horticulture judging goes on the way it always has — with the focus on quality and consistency.

“It’s about producing a saleable crop,” Smith said.

“It makes you pay attention to the quality — what would a consumer be looking for?”

On Tuesday morning, Turner went plate to plate in the open class category, carefully eyeing and turning over piles of tomatoes, peppers, potatoes and more in his hands.

Consistency consistently beat out size, that is, except for one category — largest vegetable.

The Douglas County Fair doesn’t attract the grotesque hulking pumpkins or freakish toddlersize watermelons of Internet photo fame.

There were only a few entries, and an upperarm size zucchini and one of Springer’s watermelons — which he estimated to be about 35

pounds — handily won their categories.

Springer, who grows melons and pumpkins commercially, said he usually just enters the biggest one he has rather than planting special giant pumpkin or watermelon seeds and pampering them so they’ll grow to super sizes.

The giant varieties — “those big ugly ones,” Springer said, contorting his hands and cocking his head like Frankenstein — may be neat to look at, but they’re not much good for eating or anything else.

As for Noah’s peppers, they didn’t win their class, but the judge thought they looked pretty good. A few tips on consistency — such as trimming all the stems the same length — and he’ll be well on his way.

“I think that little fella could be a gardener,” Springer said.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10B

other hand, it also requires tasks like pulling weeds, which isn’t as much fun.

Both in and outside of 4-H, Smith said, youths have a lot more options for activities than they used to, and not as many choose growing fruits and vegetables anymore.

“I think there’s a lot more opportunities, which is good, but then kids divide their time,” she said.

Town Talk Restaurant Roundup Town Talk

Chicago transplant Reggie Scott is set to open a new Chicago-themed restaurant and bar called Bottle of Blues. The establishment will be in the former Bambino’s Italian restaurant location at 1801 Mass.

“Basically I just decided there was no place in town that was serving a decent beef sandwich,” Scott said of his decision to get into the restaurant business.

For those of you not conditioned in Chicago lingo (that is, those of you who actually understand what a World Series is), when Scott talks about a beef sandwich he really means an Italian beef sandwich. Surely you are familiar with that culinary creation: sliced beef in a garlic and oregano-based broth served on a flaky Italian-style roll with a sweet and hot pepperbased relish called giardiniera. (I’m pretty sure that’s actually Italian for the %$!!! Cubs lost again.)

Scott says the bread for an Italian beef is the key, and he has local M&M bakery making a special recipe to serve the restaurant. Scott also plans to feature an Italian sausage and something called a Maxwell Polish, which refers to a grilled Polish sau-

will be about the time the new Dillons across the street brings throngs of people to the area.

“That’s going to be like a block-long billboard,” Scott said. “Everybody is going to come to check that place out.”

Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Dillons is putting the final touches on its new store, and it is starting to gear up for a grand opening — which I believe will begin on or near Aug. 12.

The company has posted a video on its Facebook page giving people a sneak peek at what to expect inside the store. I’m not sure the video footage is actually of the new Lawrence store, since it shows fully stocked salad bars, meat cases and, most importantly, doughnuts. ... Oh, pardon me, I was thinking of doughnuts.

Anyway, visit Facebook. com/Dillons to get a feel for what the store will look like, and to be reminded of its many features including a Starbucks, a Chinese deli, artisan cheeses, a drive-thru pharmacy and many other features that quite frankly I didn’t comprehend on the video because I was still stuck on the doughnuts.

sage served in a style often found along Chicago’s famed Maxwell Street.

“Maxwell Street was this like mile-long flea market in Chicago with great blues music and food,” Scott said.

“You could find anything on Maxwell Street.” (Well, not Cubs World Series tickets.)

Scott also said he plans to try to recreate some of the blues scene as well.

He said he plans to have live music on a semiregular basis. He said the restaurant primarily will be geared toward neighborhood residents and blue collar folks, but he said he’s sure some of the many KU students who come from the Chicago area will find their way to the establishment as well.

Scott plans to be open by about the second week — Catch Chad Lawhorn’s Town Talk blog of August, which he hopes every weekday morning at LJWorld.com.

FROM LEFT, JUDGES Jim Springer, Lyle Turner, Barb Copple and Susan Randall judged the vegetables at the Douglas County Fair on Tuesday morning. One category is for largest vegetable.

Fair judges would like to see competition grow ————

Fewer people, especially youths, working in gardens these days

By Sara Shepherd sshepherd@ljworld.com

It’s refreshing for old-timers like Jim Springer to see a face like Noah Chaney’s show up at the Douglas County Fair.

Noah, a skinny, tow-headed 7-year-old, walked into Building 21 at the fairgrounds Monday night and presented Springer, 77, and other open-class horticulture superintendents with a bag full of hot peppers he grew himself.

“This is my second year of growing,” Noah explained excitedly, adding that he’d given some of his peppers away and made his own salsa out of others. “They’re still doing very good.”

Participation in the fair’s hor-

ticulture contests is a sliver of what it was 20 to 30 years ago.

That makes it easier to get a ribbon but worries old-timers like Springer, of Lawrence, and longtime judge Lyle Turner.

Turner, 65, is a former K-State Research and Extension agent, has a masters degree in horticulture, used to have a truck farm, and owns Turner Flowers in Ottawa, where he lives. He’s been judging flower and horticulture contests in multiple counties — including Douglas — since the 1970s.

Back then, Turner said, the Douglas County Fair entries filled an entire building instead of one long table, and the process took him all day instead of

an hour.

“In all the counties I see them dwindling, they are dwindling to (such) numbers that it’s really scary,” he said. “I would like to see it come back.”

Turner said he’s hopeful newer efforts like extension master gardener programs and community gardens may help renew interest.

After all, he said, there are valuable lessons to be learned from cultivating produce.

“It goes back to the old farm ethics that most kids don’t get now,” he said.

Extension agent Jennifer Smith said it’s exciting to plant something and see it grow. On the JUDGES WORK THROUGH A LINE OF TOMATOES in the open class on Tuesday morning.

Getting fresh at the farmers’ market

M

y sister and niece visited a couple of weekends ago.

I only had three activities planned for their visit: 1) go to the farmers’ market, 2) cook some stuff, 3) loll about. We did a great job of accomplishing all three.

We spent a couple of good hours touring and retouring the farmers’ market and ended up coming home with a bunch of sweet corn, a bagful of little cucumbers for refrigerator pickles, a bag of beautiful red tomatoes and a bouquet of zinnias.

We didn’t come home with a breakfast burrito, three honey sticks, a couple of lemonade shakeups

Sister’s Refrigerator Pickles baked eggs. Don’t judge brunch of smoked salmon,

THE FLYING FORK banana bread scones and

a blog by Megan Stuke or a big cinnamon roll, because we ate all that right there at the market.

As far as cooking, we made some things. We made a batch of homemade ice cream, a chocolate sheet cake, homemade pizza for 10, a beautiful sandwich bar lunch, and a

us. We don’t get together very often, so we have to make it good.

At our sandwich lunch, post-farmer’s market, we wanted to use some of my CSA bag and some of our farmers’ market finds, so we decided on refrigerator pickles and a roasted corn salad as accompaniments to our spread.

Refrigerator pickles are easy and fun because they provide almost instant gratification. Also, they stay crisp, which seems to be a challenge for me in a traditional pickle canning process.

5 small cucumbers, good for pickling 1 jalapeño 1 small white onion 1 tablespoon kosher salt 1 cup sugar 1/4 cup brown sugar 1 1/2 cups cider vinegar 4 cloves garlic 1/2 teaspoon celery seeds 1/8 teaspoon ground turmeric Slice the cucumbers about 1/4 inch thick. Combine them and the salt in a bowl. Cover and chill 1 1/2 hours. Or however Please see FORK, page 9B

‘Dallas’ continues to underwhelm John Ross (Josh Henderson) must decide between family allegiance and a lucrative deal as the new, revived “Dallas” (8 p.m., TNT) continues its first season.

For all of the hype surrounding the reboot of this classic primetime soap, its strong debut has not translated into dominant ratings.

Some of this can be explained by the fact that younger viewers either don’t remember or don’t hold much affection for the old “Dallas.” They turn to “The Real Housewives” franchise or “Jersey Shore” for their share of shocking, selfish and rude soap opera antics.

It doesn’t help that the younger characters on “Dallas” 2.0 are so wishy-washy compared to their elders. Larry Hagman’s J.R. was a first-class schemer with a love-to-hate-him appeal. Not to give too much away here, but the very fact that his son, John Ross, even wavers between staying loyal to his family and looking out for himself demonstrates how far the apple has fallen from the tree.

Tonight’s “American Greed: The Fugitives” (7 p.m., CNBC) focuses on white-collar criminals who manage to swindle corporate and personal assets and then disappear for years.

These tales of fraudsters are entertaining, addictive and, more to the point, distracting. When are programs like “Greed” going to focus on the biggest financial scandal of our time — possibly of all time? The scandal involving 16 banks accused of rigging interest rates under the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), used in trillions of dollars of contracts, is a tale of institutional “Greed” that deserves more in-depth coverage on cable “news.”

Turner Classic Movies will spend August as it has for years: with its “Summer Under the Stars” festival. Every day will bring a 24-hour movie marathon focusing on one particular actor or actress. Things kick off at 6 a.m. with a celebration of 12 John Wayne movies, most notably, “The Searchers” (12:15 p.m.) and “She Wore a Yellow Ribbon” (7 p.m.), two of the great Westerns he made with director John Ford.

Tonight’s other highlights

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

Mother love on “Damages” (8 p.m., Audience Network, Direct TV).

A victim’s mother perseveres on “Final Witness” (9 p.m., ABC).

“Through the Wormhole With Morgan Freeman” (9 p.m., Science) ponders an end to time.

BIRTHDAYS Actor Giancarlo Giannini is 70. Basketball Hall of Fame coach Roy Williams is 62. Blues singermusician Robert Cray is 59. Rapper Chuck D (Public Enemy) is 52. Rapper Coolio is 49. Rock singer Adam Duritz (Counting Crows) is 48.

Movie director Sam Mendes is 47.

Actress Tempestt Bledsoe is 39.

For Wednesday, Aug. 1: This year you have your hands full juggling your needs with others. You often wonder which voice you need to listen to: “I should,” “I want” or “I feel.” If you are single, you will meet people easily. If you are attached, you do not always need to agree.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) Focus on meetings and discussions in order to get a project moving. You have a way of saying the right thing. Tonight: Where the gang is.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You want to move in a certain direction, but because of the people around you, you might decide not to. Weigh the pros and cons of mixing your personal and professional life. Tonight: Treat yourself to a new item you have been eyeing.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Your ability to detach and take a broader view of a situation proves to be most helpful.

Today’s Full Moon might be overwhelming to many people, but you can handle all the different elements and changes. Tonight: Where there is music.

Dear Annie: My parents and siblings often complain that they can’t lose weight. However, they douse their food in salt and sauces, drink alcohol before bed, and have no qualms about pulling out the potato chips or chocolate candy. I used to be like them, but I’ve lost a great deal of weight and feel fantastic.

Annie, I can’t stand
