Governor warns Kansans about outdoor fires

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — The drought has become so severe that Gov. Sam Brownback on Friday warned Kansans against lighting outdoor fires.

“This is a powder keg situation,” Brownback said as he convened a meeting to gather information and come up with ideas to help Kansans affected by the drought.

Kansas Agriculture Secretary Dale Rodman said the drought was devastating.

“If you analyze this thing, we are in a major disaster,” Rodman said.

“We are basically in a Brownback constant tornado and we don’t see the end of it.”

All 105 Kansas counties are covered by a drought disaster declaration and 68, including Douglas County, have imposed bans on outside burning.

In addition to state officials, Brownback gathered ranchers, firefighters and city officials on the front lines of dealing with the drought to talk about the toll the drought is taking and identify ways to cope with it.

One rancher at the meeting suggested a statewide burn ban, but later Brownback said he would rather local officials make the call on whether to ban outdoor burning in their own areas.

Brownback said he’ll also look into harvesting grass along state highway rights of way and at Cedar Crest, his Please see DROUGHT, page 2A

during the midteen years.

It usually improves in early adulthood, and in 8 percent of cases the symptoms will completely go away without returning.

Aidan, who is the son of Dan and Heather Wallsmith, received the diagnosis of Tourette Syndrome at age 6, although he first started showing signs a couple of years earlier.

His grandmother, Kay McCune, said she saw little tics — eyes blinking and facial movements — when Aidan was a toddler, but they became noticeable just two days after his parents told him his grandmother had cancer. They wanted to tell Aidan so he would

A Lawrence police officer testified Friday morning that he saw an Illinois woman with a baseball bat, two rolls of duct tape and two tarps inside a shopping cart as two of her young children were found bound and blindfolded in June outside in a Lawrence Walmart’s parking lot.

Officer James Miller’s testimony at Friday’s preliminary hearing for two suburban Chicago parents who face child abuse and child endangerment charges provided a few more details on a case that has received national attention.

“It’s not your typical (call) you would hear on the radio,” Miller’s partner, Officer Charles Stewart, testified about why he drove to Walmart that morning without being dispatched there initially.

Adolfo Gomez Jr., 52, and his wife, Deborah Gomez, COURTS 44, both of Northlake, Ill., each face two child abuse counts for alleged inhumane corporal punishment after Lawrence police found two of their children, ages 5 and 7, bound by their hands and feet and blindfolded late in the morning June 13 near the family’s vehicle.

It was in the parking lot outside Walmart, 550 Congressional Drive. Police have said the family was traveling from Illinois to see a relative in Arizona before their Chevrolet Suburban broke down on Interstate 70, causing the couple and their five children to stop in Lawrence two days before a Walmart customer called officers when she saw a blindfolded child sitting outside the Suburban.

They face five aggravated child endangerment charges as well because older children, ages 12, 13 and 15, and the two younger children were traveling with the family while they were apparently living in the vehicle.

AIDAN WALLSMITH, 8, OF RURAL BALDWIN CITY, was diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome when he was 6. Determined to fight the disorder, he has raised more than $1,000 for research and is planning a 10-mile fundraising walk from Baldwin City to Lawrence.

Boy with Tourette Syndrome devotes himself to fundraising

By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

Aidan Wallsmith won’t be opening presents to celebrate his ninth birthday today. Instead he will be writing thank-you cards.

A few weeks ago, Aidan, of rural Baldwin City, decided he didn’t need more toys or clothes. What he wanted was for his family and friends to donate money to help find a cure for a neurological disorder that he has called Tourette Syndrome.

The disease causes him to make repeated, quick movements or sounds that he can’t control. It can be a nod of the head or a flexing of the wrists. It also can be a soft sound: “mmm. mmm. mmm.”

Some days, he has no movements or tics, and these are his “good days.”

When he has them, they can last for a few minutes or for more than a week.

“I cannot control it at all.

I never feel anything coming,” Aidan said Thursday evening while sitting in a chair on his grandma’s big porch. He’s quiet and shy, but passionate about finding a cure so “less people have to have it.”

The disorder is four times as likely to occur in boys as in girls. The first noticeable symptoms typically occur between ages 7 and 10; the symptoms usually peak

Another early-morning burglary incident awakens residents

By Shaun Hittle sdhittle@ljworld.com

Some Lawrence residents were awakened early Friday morning by a man attempting to break into their home in the 3400 block of Aldrich Street.

According to Lawrence

Police spokeswoman Kim Murphree, the residents of the home called 911 around 1 a.m. when they heard a man banging on a sliding glass door.

However, a PVC pipe blocked the door from being opened, and the suspect fled the scene when

Man convicted of child molestation gets new trial A Douglas County judge ruled Friday that a 25-year-old Lawrence man should get a new trial after a jury convicted him in 2010 of fondling a 7-year-old girl.

District Judge Peggy Kittel, who presided over the trial of Jose FernandezTorres, granted a motion by defense attorney Carl Folsom to give Fernandez-Torres a new trial based on errors with the testimony COURTS of the girl’s mother, an outdated jury instruction and a prosecutor’s improper statement during closing arguments.

The judge said each error on its own would not warrant a new trial.

“The cumulative effect of these errors, all relating to the jury’s responsibilities and duty in this case, leads this court to believe that (Fernandez-Torres) did not receive a fair trial,” Kittel wrote.

Jurors in December 2010 convicted Fernandez-Torres of aggravated indecent liberties with a child after prosecutors accused him of molesting the daughter

of his girlfriend the night of Sept. 2, 2010, at a northern Lawrence apartment.

He was accused of putting his hand in the girl’s shorts while she was in bed, and the girl told her mother, who confronted Fernandez-Torres.

He had claimed the touching was innocent because he had tried to move the child so she would not fall out of bed. The girl’s mother wrote a letter in 2011 — eight months after the trial — saying the touching allegation could have arisen out of a misunderstanding.

In her ruling ordering a new trial, Kittel said the mother later testified she felt under pressure at the trial and was not asked the correct questions. The woman had said she was angry at Fernandez-Torres at the time of the incident because he had communicated with other women.

The judge also found jurors were given an outdated instruction about the burden of proof that they should presume the defendant not guilty “until” convinced from the evidence, but instead they should have been instructed to make the not guilty presumption “unless” they were convinced from the evidence of his guilt.

Survivors include three sons, Patrick of Kansas City, Missouri, Michael of Seattle, Washington, and Kelly of Derby, Kansas, and one sister Helen Marx of Topeka, and many loving nieces and nephews who were her pride and joy.

Mary graduated from Immaculate Conception Academy in 1938 and St. Francis School of Nursing in 1941. She worked as a Registered Nurse at VA Hospital, private duty nursing, Lawrence Memorial Hospital and retired from Memorial Hospital in Topeka in 1982.

She never really gave up nursing. After retirement she cared for many relatives and

be prepared when she lost her hair and felt sick from treatments.

“It appeared to me that he got worse, and then I felt bad because I felt somehow I had something to do with that — his nerves or whatever,” McCune said.

But his family learned from a neurologist at Children’s Mercy Hospital and Clinics that it was much more, and there’s no treatment. He can take medicine to help, but sometimes it can make the tics worse. He sees a physical therapist to help ease muscle tensions.

McCune, who is now cancer-free, gets emotional when she talks about Aidan and his perseverance.

“He is so cute, and he is so nonchalant about the fact that he has Tourette’s, which is wonderful that it doesn’t embarrass him and he realizes that it’s just a part of who he is,” she said.

McCune said today would be a memorable birthday. She and his grandfather donated money to the Tourette Syndrome Association in lieu of getting him gifts this year, and he said he was perfectly happy with that.

“Oh,” she said, and then paused as tears started to form. “It just really softens my heart.”

Aidan’s goal was to raise $50. Well, he reached that goal within 15 minutes once his mother posted information about his website “Aidan’s Wish For A Cure” on her Facebook page.

Then, he set a goal of $300, and he even reached that. In fact, he has raised $1,115, which he described as “amazing.” He will be writing thank-you notes to the donors today.

Now, he’s working on an even bigger fundraiser.

“

He is so cute, and he is so nonchalant about the fact that he has Tourette’s, which is wonderful that it doesn’t embarrass him and he realizes that it’s just a part of who he is.”

— Kay McCune, grandmother of Aidan Wallsmith He hasn’t nailed down the details yet, but he is planning to have a “Trek for Tourette” walk this fall to raise awareness and money for a cure. The approximately 10-mile walk will start in Baldwin City, where he goes to school, and end in Lawrence, and he can’t wait to design a T-shirt for his cause.

Aidan has pointed out to his mom that when other children are ill and in wheelchairs or have crutches, people seem to have more compassion for them. With his illness, it may look like he’s being ornery or can’t sit still.

“He’s learned some resilience,” Heather said. “His tics change every week, and so we’ve learned how to kind of laugh about them sometimes.

“But sometimes, it’s not really funny because he has really bad tics and it’s really hard for him to do certain things or his muscles get really sore.”

Aidan said there are times when he can’t play with his Legos or hold a pencil, but, for the most part, he can do whatever he wants.

“It’s not that bad to have,” he said.

Bound children Miller and Stewart in more than two hours of testimony talked about several aspects of the incident from arriving in the parking lot unsure about what was happening to a physical confrontation with Adolfo Gomez to helping free the two young children who were tied up sitting on cardboard at different ends of the Suburban, which had no license plates.

Miller said as he drove up to the store as the responding officer he saw who he later learned was Deborah Gomez walking toward an entrance to the store, but he became occupied with Adolfo Gomez when he saw him near the vehicle with two children blindfolded and bound.

A supervisor, once Adolfo Gomez was detained, asked Miller to photograph the items Deborah Gomez had in her shopping cart inside, but the items in the cart were not mentioned again.

Miller did say he took the 7-year-old girl to his patrol car to cut ties from her hands and legs, when she told him she requested to be bound.

“She said she was hitting her brothers and sisters and that she asked to be blindfolded and tied up,” Miller said.

Stewart testified that the 5-year-old boy — who had a soiled diaper and no shoes when officers found him — told him that Ad-

She said she was hitting her brothers and sisters and that she asked to be blindfolded and tied up.”

— James Miller, Lawrence police officer olfo Gomez had instructed him about the blindfold.

“He said he wasn’t supposed to take off his bindings. He said his dad told him that,” Stewart said.

Police said Adolfo Gomez was disobeying officers’ orders to exit the vehicle and that “he was loudly either reciting religious sayings or possibly praying,” Stewart said.

“I didn’t know what his intentions were,” Stewart said. “I couldn’t tell if he had any weapons. In my mind this child had possibly been abducted, and I was concerned that Mr. Gomez might flee or possibly injure the child or myself or my partner.”

Police used a Taser twice to subdue Gomez because the first time one of the prongs missed his body. Officers eventually pulled him from the vehicle. The three older children were scared and appeared to be praying with the 7-year-old girl inside the vehicle as police tried to subdue Adolfo Gomez.

The officers also testified about the conditions inside the Suburban, saying they thought they saw bottles of urine and a cooler full of urine in and around the vehicle along with food and water.

Lisa Wilcox, a police evidence technician, said most of the vehicle’s windows were covered with cloth and other items, so it

And Kittel found a comment in closing arguments by prosecutor Amy McGowan, a chief assistant district attorney, was improper when she argued the girl “in this courtroom” has the truth to protect her “and if you believe (her), then that follows you right over to beyond a reasonable doubt.”

Kittel said the statement “gives an impression to the jury that their duty in this case is to protect this 7-year-old child from abuse, rather than determine if the evidence supports a guilty verdict.”

Kittel ordered the parties to appear in court Tuesday for a status conference and bond hearing.

“We will review the court’s decision and determine the appropriate course of action,” Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson said Friday.

Fernandez-Torres has been an inmate at the Douglas County Jail since the verdict, although Kittel had not yet sentenced him. He was facing 25 years to life in prison on the 2010 conviction that was overturned.

The vehicle smelled of a combination of a portable toilet and a Dumpster, she said, because of the amount of rotting food, trash and other items inside, including apparent bottles of urine and containers for soiled diapers.

Officers said they found a pocket knife in the vehicle and a loose razor blade on the ground outside the vehicle, but there was no evidence the blades were used on the children.

Hearing to resume Tuesday The five children have been placed in protective custody, and Adolfo and Deborah Gomez have been ordered to pay child support, according to court records. Both parents remain in jail, held on $50,000 bond.

Defense attorneys Angela Keck and Elbridge Griffy during cross-examination of the officers mostly asked detailed questions about the locations of items inside the car and tried to point out the children had no physical injuries.

Keck, who represents Deborah Gomez, has also argued at an earlier hearing that Adolfo Gomez was the culprit in the case and that Deborah Gomez was acting to protect her children.

Prosecutors will continue presenting witnesses in the hearing on Tuesday morning. After hearing the evidence, District Judge Paula Martin will make a decision about whether the couple should face a trial.

VERSAILLES, FRANCE — Following a two-hour tour of the Palace of Versailles on Friday, Kansas University men’s basketball coach Bill Self felt a little young as an American.

“We think ‘old school’ is something that happened in the 1980s and 1990s back home,” Self said.

“This is a whole different level.”

The palace, which served as the center of the French government from 1682 through 1789 before the French Revolution, was the next stop for the Kansas men’s basketball team on its tour of Europe.

Tonganoxie woman killed in accident on U.S. 24-40

Lawrence’s Alford-Clarke VFW Post 852, which has had its home at 138 Ala. since 1965, is planning a move.

The post plans to be “turning dirt” on a vacant lot at 2645 Haskell Ave. by Oct. 1, said Vern Russell, VFW quartermaster.

Plans for the move have been about a year and a half in the making, Russell said. A committee made the decision to opt for rebuilding the post rather than renovating the 57-year-old structure northeast of Lawrence Memorial Hospital.

“Like any old building, it’s showing its age,” Russell said. The Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center is in the process of purchasing the property to build more office space there, create a

Football and political games have many similarities

By Dolph C. Simons Jr.

Primary elections are over, and the race for the White House now moves into high gear. Republican and Democratic national conventions will take place in a few weeks, and there will be a brutal, fierce and costly battle between now and the Nov. 6 general election.

It’s likely those living in past years have said a particular presidential election was the most important in ages for the country, but there are many reasons or situations in our country today that could justify a claim that the 2012 presidential election could prove to be a defining road map for the nation’s history in terms of free enterprise vs. socialism and greater government control.

Now also is the time when the collegiate football season is about to get under way, and political and football games share many similarities.

Those playing the political game have had

their “spring training” and “preseason practices” with their intraparty rivals, fundraising efforts and primary elections, and will be selecting their candidates at the nominating conventions.

The win-loss records of the two candidates, how the public judges their potential to give the country and its citizens a winning record and keep the country strong, along with the ability to raise the funds needed to execute a winning campaign strategy, all play important roles in getting out the votes.

In major college football, recruiting good players (candidates) is critical. Spring and preseason practices prepare the players for the actual 10to 12-game regular season and the postseason bowl games that eventually determine the national champion.

As in politics, money, big money, is essential for a winning athletics program, and alumni and friends in many ways fill the same role as campaign

aides and volunteers.

Coaches who deliver on these and many other pledges, and win, usually get contract extensions and larger paychecks, and their teams remain strong. College chancellors and presidents sanctimoniously claim their particular schools do not overemphasize sports, but they revel in their success on the playing field. They want winners, regardless of what they say.

Look at the KU football situation. If you don’t win, you don’t stay. Turner Gill, the last KU coach, may have been a nice person, although few outside the athletics department saw or knew much about him.

He won two games his first season and two games the next season. He was fired!

With the presidency of the United States, supposedly a far more important job than a football coach, U.S. citizens are supposed to decide whether the current coach (Barack Obama) has done what he promised and pledged. Has he coached a winner? Is there any reason to believe he

could perform better in the next season (term)?

Most coaches at this country’s major universities receive far higher salaries than a U.S. president so maybe this justifies the fact that they either win or they are gone — fired!

Nevertheless, it still seems performance should count, whether in the White House or on a football field.

Phony excuses usually ring hollow when it comes time to renew coaching contracts. Should the same rationale apply to those in the political field?

What is the winning record of Obama?

Q:

Why is Sunflower School’s building in the shape of a cross? When viewed from satellite view maps it appears to have a giant red cross on the roof.

Is Sunflower a converted church?

A:

“Designed in 1994

by Treanor Architects with input from a design committee comprised of school staff and parents, Sunflower Elementary School’s architecture uses a classroom pod or cluster concept to support educational programming needs. The clerestory windows allow natural light into inner spaces of the building; their shape from a bird’seye view is coincidental,” said Julie Boyle, the school district’s communications director.

BRIEFLY Baseball player’s DUI charge dropped Florida prosecutors have dropped a misdemeanor DUI charge against former Free State High School baseball star Cody Kukuk after determining a sheriff’s officer did not have probable cause to stop Kukuk’s vehicle in May. Kukuk, 19, signed an $800,000 bonus last year to play in the Boston Red Sox farm system.

Samantha Syoen, a spokeswoman for the Lee County, Fla., State’s Attorneys Office, said the deputy in Fort Myers, Fla., wrote Kukuk a ticket May 13 and arrested him after he pulled Kukuk over when the deputy noticed tires were screeching as Kukuk made a left turn. He was pulled over about 2 a.m. May 13 in Fort Myers and later arrested on the DUI charge.

According to a motion filed in the case, Kukuk’s defense attorney Peter D. Ringsmuth sought to suppress the deputy’s observations of possible alcohol impairment, results of field sobriety tests, breath test results and any statements Kukuk made. Ringsmuth argued the officer did not have probable cause to stop Kukuk’s vehicle.

Syoen said prosecutors dropped the DUI charge on Thursday because Florida case law does not support screeching tires as cause to pull someone over for careless driving.

KDOT intends to lay off 40 employees

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — The Kansas Department of Transportation on Friday announced it intends to lay off 40 employees at its headquarters office.

Gov. Sam Brownback said he agreed with the downsizing and that it would have no impact on completing projects under the state’s $8 billion, 10year transportation plan.

Transportation Secretary Mike King issued the following statement: “Like all state agencies, KDOT is committed to serving Kansans in the most effective and efficient manner possible. This restructuring of headquarters will allow the agency to be fiscally responsible while continuing to focus on its core responsibility of providing a statewide transportation system that meets the needs of Kansas now and in the future.”

He said no additional layoffs are planned at this time but that the agency

would continue to look for cost savings and implement changes as needed.

KDOT’s plan has been submitted to the Kansas Department of Administration. Once the plan is reviewed and approved, it will be implemented, according to a KDOT news release. The reorganization will affect less than 5 percent of KDOT headquarters staff, the agency said.

King, who was appointed to the position in March by Brownback, is the owner of King Enterprise Group, a McPherson construction company. When he was appointed to lead KDOT, King said his company wasn’t involved in any state highway projects and that he was putting his interests in a blind trust.

King replaced Barb Rankin, formerly KDOT’s chief counsel, who became acting secretary in December 2011 following the resignation of Deb Miller. Miller stepped down after nearly nine years as secretary to take a private-sector job.

Brownback to speak at KU about economy Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback is scheduled to speak about economic growth and Kansas tax policy next month at Kansas University.

Brownback will deliver the KU School of Business 2012 Anderson Chandler Lecture at 7 p.m. Sept. 10 at the Lied Center.

Brownback has been governor since 2011, and has

also served as a U.S. senator, a member of the U.S. House of Representatives and a state secretary of agriculture.

During the past legislative session, Brownback signed into law a series of income tax cuts that drew praise from conservatives but rankled critics, who said the cuts would devastate state government.

Temporary library move to former Borders building mulled BOTTOM LINE

BACKGROUND

City commissioners on Tuesday will consider whether to move forward with plans to lease the former Borders building at Seventh and New Hampshire streets to serve as a temporary home for the Lawrence Public Library during a $19 million construction project.

According to information provided by the city, construction of a parking garage would begin in November, with renovation and expansion of the library slated to begin in February. The library, 707 Vt., would move to the Borders building late this year, with plans to be completely functional in early 2013.

The proposed lease — for 20 months, which al-

lows for time to move in and out, as well as a bit of extra time — would cost $233,800, a city memo says.

The city would be responsible for property taxes, maintenance and insurance at the 20,000-square-foot Borders property.

Although the lease would cost more than $230,000, the construction manager and architect have estimated that moving the library will actu-

ally save on construction costs because construction workers won’t have to accommodate staff and patrons. The city memo says the overall cost to move out is about $70,000.

The city plans to move all library computers to the new location and about half of its collection. Patrons would be able to request items in the collection and receive it within about a day.

Romney

Ryan

Romney to name running mate

By Anne Walters

McClatchy Tribune

WASHINGTON — Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney will announce his choice for his vice president at a campaign event in Norfolk, Va., today, his campaign said.

NBC News reported an unnamed campaign source as saying the choice would be Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin.

The announcement will be made aboard World War II-era battleship USS Wisconsin in Norfolk, Va., home to one of the country’s largest naval bases, this morning, Romney’s campaign said.

Romney is starting a four-day tour through states considered to be key in the November election.

Ryan had been rumored to be among the top finalists along with former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty and Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio.

Ryan has taken on a prominent role as the top Republican on the House of Representatives’ budget committee and is popular among the Republican Party’s conservative base. He has advocated for deep spending cuts and is already experienced at facing down with President Barack Obama over economic issues.

Low corn yield not expected to cause food shortage

By Jim Suhr Associated Press

ST. LOUIS — A deepening drought in the nation’s farm states has cut further into this fall’s harvest, with farmers now expected to pull from their fields the lowest corn yield in more than a decade.

But American farmers are still expected to produce their eighth-largest harvest ever, and while there’s sure to be a rise in prices at the grocery stores, there’s little risk of a failed harvest that would lead to shortages on the shelves.

The U.S. Agriculture Department predicted the nation’s biggest harvest ever in the spring, when farmers planted 96.4 million acres of corn — the most since 1937. But it cut its estimate a month ago and again Friday, saying it now expects the nation to produce 10.8 billion bushels, the least since 2006.

If that estimate holds, the federal government

says it will be enough to meet the world’s needs and ensure there are no shortages. But experts say food prices will almost certainly climb as corn is a widely used ingredient found in everything from cosmetics to cereal, colas and candy bars.

The drought stretching across the U.S. from Ohio west to California is deepest in the middle of the country, and major farm states like Iowa and Illinois are seeing conditions get worse each week.

Farmers credit advances in seed technology that have produced hardier, more drought-tolerant corn for any harvest at all.

“I have to be honest with you, I’m totally stunned we have corn with green stalks and leaves after going through weeks of 105-degree temperature,” said Garry Niemeyer, the National Corn Growers Associated president who has 1,200 acres of corn and 800 acres of soybeans near Auburn, Ill.

“Our corn yield normally would be about 190 bushels per acre. This year, if I get 110, I’d be thrilled to death.”

The USDA’s latest estimate predicts corn farmers will average 123.4 bushels per acre, down 24 bushels from last year in what would be the lowest average yield in 17 years.

But the yield would still be as good as nearly a decade ago, when the average was about 129 bushels in a year without drought.

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack trumpeted the resilience of U.S. farmers and ranchers on Friday, saying he didn’t expect immediate increases in food prices and was optimistic the U.S. would continue meeting global demand for grain. The U.S. is the world’s top exporter of corn, soybeans and wheat.

“Americans shouldn’t see immediate increases in food prices due to the drought,” Vilsack said during a trip to droughtstricken Nebraska.

CROPS IN KANSAS Kansas wheat a bright spot WICHITA — The 2012 winter wheat crop sitting in elevators across Kansas remains the single bright spot in a dismal forecast for the state’s fall-harvested crops.

This year’s wheat was harvested before this summer’s drought took hold in Kansas.

Kansas Agricultural Statistics Service on Friday estimated the state’s wheat crop at 387 million bushels. The estimate is 2 percent lower than the agency’s forecast last month, but is still 40

Prison time ordered in sexual battery case

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

A Douglas County judge Friday broke from a plea agreement that recommended probation and ordered a 50-year-old rural Lawrence man to serve 32 months in prison for an aggravated sexual battery conviction involving a female family member.

District Judge Michael Malone criticized Gary W. Baker for focusing on alcohol as the root of the problem and for complaining about how he had lost family and friends over the incident.

“The actual victim has been completely ignored,” Malone said. “And all you are presenting is this woeis-me type thing.”

Baker pleaded guilty in July to aggravated sexual battery and admitted to touching the woman on March 24 with “intent to arouse (his) sexual desires” while the victim was “overcome by force or fear.” He initially had been charged with rape.

The plea agreement asked for Baker to receive probation if he had no past

criminal history and complied with recommendations of a sexual offender evaluation. But under the law it was ultimately up to Malone to choose probation or prison.

Prosecutor Amy McGowan, a chief assistant district attorney, said Friday in court she still recommended probation but that she had concerns the sex offender evaluation was not thorough enough. McGowan said she believed Baker seemed to focus more on treatment for alcohol abuse than for sexual abuse, and there was evidence “this is something that happened over a number of years with the same victim.”

At the beginning of the hearing, defense attorney John Kerns said his client was remorseful.

“I let alcohol take over my life. This is hard for me to talk because I lost my family,” Baker said. “I lost friends. I lost my life.”

Malone said Baker, once released from prison, would be required to register as a sex offender.

Report: Alfalfa hay production up

WICHITA — Kansas Agricultural Statistics Service is forecasting the smallest corn crop in Kansas since 2006 amid a deepening drought.

The agency reported Friday that it expects Kansas growers to bring in 390.6 million bushels of corn.

That is down 13 percent from last year.

Kansas farmers planted 4.7 million acres of corn.

WICHITA — A new government forecast says alfalfa hay production is up 15 percent in Kansas after a huge spike in harvested acres.

Kansas Agricultural Statistics Service reported Friday that Kansas growers are expected to harvest 2.25 million tons of alfalfa hay. The expected

Corn crop puny

— Associated Press

A resurfacing project will begin Wednesday on the 8.43-mile section of the South Lawrence Trafficway between the Lecompton interchange on the Kansas Turnpike and U.S. Highway 59.

Work will cause delays of up to 15 minutes, and drivers are urged to use alternate routes, according to the Kansas Department of Transportation.

Work will be performed between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., Mondays through Fridays, with some work planned on Saturdays, according to a KDOT news release. But no work will be done on the road, which also is Kansas Highway 10, on Kansas University home game days.

The project includes

patching pavement, as well as milling at ramps and bridge approaches, application of a new asphalt layer, chip seal on the shoulders and new pavement markings.

Next Wednesday through Friday, the two-lane highway will be reduced to one lane, and crossroads will be closed at times while shoulder work is done.

Then work will be stopped until Sept. 10, when resurfacing work begins on the highway itself.

The $938,218 project is scheduled for completion in early November, weather permitting. The project is funded through a program approved by the 2010 Kansas Legislature.

Columnist takes hit from badminton girls

By John Kass Chicago Tribune

The last thing I needed was to kick the hornet’s nest of teenage mean girls who are now picking on me and calling me a fat, cynical journalist.

All I did was fail to give proper respect to badminton. Now they’re really angry. And once teenage girls badminton players get angry, you’re through.

It’s my own fault. I wrote a column about the Olympics and also participated in a Tribune video, commenting on the Olympic badminton scandal in which women’s teams were disqualified for throwing games.

Yes, I mocked the short, stubby swings of the guilty as they cynically slapped their shuttlecocks into the net. And, yes, I dared suggest that badminton was an activity best played in backyards by people who have had a few too many.

Now the girls badminton players are angry, and they’re faster and quicker than I am, and being teenagers, they’re also better at social media than I. They’re more relentless. They could be ruthless.

Against foes such as these, I stand no chance.

“So mister smart guy who thinks he knows all about badminton. ... YEAH RIGHT!!!!” writes Cory G. “You wouldn’t know anything about badminton if the ‘Shuttlecock’ hit you DIRECTLY in the face!!!

“How dare you talk about badminton like this! You have no idea what you’re talking about when you say that ‘the players threw the game.’ First

“

Now the girls badminton players are angry, and they’re faster and quicker than I am, and being teenagers, they’re also better at social media than I. They’re more relentless.

off, it wasn’t every player, smart one! It was only 8! You based all this on probably 1 game that you watched. And you probably didn’t even watch the whole game! You only watched parts!! You are not a true reporter that gets ALL THE FACTS!!! Now, if you’re not willing to do what a true reporter would do, and investigate the sport of badminton, I will still continue to read your columns but I will take your articles with a grain of salt considering you don’t gather all your facts. By now, the IHSA badminton community is well aware of your article and video. Good luck with that!”

If you continue to read my columns, Miss G, that’s all I can ask. Just don’t slam me in the nose with some malevolent shuttlecock. I have teenagers, too, you know.

“Dear Mr. Kass, I watched your video on badminton and to be honest I was extremely surprised,” writes Julia M. “Your facts were inaccurate and you sounded sarcastic the entire time. As the captain of

my high school badminton team, I found your video to be a slap in the face. What you fail to understand is that badminton requires agility, strategy and dedication. I would much rather be sprinting around the court hitting a ‘shuttlecock’ than getting fat and cynical behind a journalist’s desk.”

Fat and cynical? Miss M, please believe me. I’m not cynical. Really, I’m not. And I’m not sarcastic either. It’s just my facial expressions.

“Dear Mr. Kass,” writes Hanna R. “You obviously know nothing about badminton. If you did you wouldn’t have made yourself look extremely misinformed in your strongly opinionated video. Who are you to question what sports should be in the Olympics? The people in the Olympics have worked not only years but their whole lives to be in that position and you treat it as if it is a joke. ... Badminton is not just some pansy backyard sport, it is an actual sport that deserves to be in the Olympics. It takes real skill and agility to play, which you obviously didn’t know when you discussed it previously. As a journalist you have to get all the facts first, and for disregarding that you have not only made yourself look bad, but the Chicago Tribune as well.”

Then came the badminton mommies, as fierce as shewolves protecting their cubs.

“I take exception to your comment that badminton is a ‘game best played in backyards by folks who have had a few too many,’” wrote badminton mom Sue R.,

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for August 11, 1912: “Another step in the direction of good roads has been taken by YEARS the county commissioners in AGO ‘laying’ the proposed highways.

IN 1912 Certain roads have been officially designated ‘county roads’ and are to be graded, drained, and dragged at the expense of the county. Culverts and bridges are needed on some of them and these also are to be supplied.... The roads are so selected as to connect with others in the neighboring counties and make it easier for farmers to bring their crops to town than it now is.”

who added that her daughter, Juliana, 11, is a serious athlete hoping to compete in the 2020 Olympics.

“I invite you to register for the Chicago Open Tournament, also at the Midwest Badminton Club, Sept. 21-23. My husband and I would be happy to cover the cost of your registration. ...

Badminton is the fastest racquet sport, with players battling the birdies at speeds up to 250 miles per hour. ... The competitors train like every athlete, and show as much dedication as any!”

Yeah, well, I’m a dedicated sitter. I can sit for hours. And I’m going to play badminton with mean girls? Really? No way.

They’re so enraged, they’d rip my throat out.

“I’m laying down a challenge, John,” wrote Laura G. “Come to the Midwest Badminton Club. ... Play my daughter, a two-time state qualifier. She is much better than I and was also quite upset with your article. ... I bet we can get sweat on your brow in the first five minutes. Are you up for it. Or are you afraid of a little shuttlecock?”

I’m afraid. I’m very afraid.

Still, I might show up and watch (not to play, just watch), so this fat, cynical man can see what an exciting thing badminton is. It might be cool.

But only if you stop being so mean. And only if you promise not to hit me in the face with a shuttlecock.

It’s a sincere face. Really. I mean it.

Out of touch To the editor: Mitt Romney and his team continue to tell us that the American people don’t really care about the release of his tax returns. Here’s a news flash. Yes, we do. Many of us care a great deal. We who are committed to this country pay our taxes because we know that money is needed to pay for essential services which contribute to the maintenance of a civilized society. We are also convinced that it is our patriotic duty to do so. How sad that a man aspiring to the presidency of this great nation would feel no obligation to share in such a moral commitment. He’s old enough to know that even though things are legal, they are not necessarily moral.

Some may remember Leona Helmsley. She was a multi-mil-

LAWRENCE

lionaire who spent some time in prison for federal income tax evasion. If we don’t remember the deed, we probably will remember her famous statement, “We don’t pay taxes … only the little people pay taxes.” Whenever I hear Mitt Romney speak, I think back to Leona Helmsley. At least she had the chutzpah to tell us what she thought of us.

When Mitt Romney sees the “little people,” what does he see? That’s the problem. He doesn’t see us. It’s awfully hard to know what the common folk are going through while one is looking from the top of an economic pinnacle. Too bad Mitt is not like his father, George Romney, who not only treated all people and this country with respect but began the tradition of releasing his income tax returns for all to see. He had nothing to hide because he

was a moral man. How sad that his son did not follow in his footsteps.

Early closing To the editor: The Lawrence Outdoor Aquatic Center has provided many residents of Lawrence, young and old, with an opportunity to cool off and get good, healthy, outdoor exercise in a summer that has been so hot that just stepping outdoors has sometimes seemed unbearable. Although temperatures this week have finally dipped below 100, the weather will remain hot for the foreseeable future. No matter how hot it is, we all need fresh air and exercise, and this is especially true for children.

Why, then, is the Lawrence

What the Lawrence Journal-World stands for

Outdoor Aquatic Center shutting its gates to the children of Lawrence after next weekend?

This year, as a result of phenomenally poor planning, the pool will close entirely on the Friday BEFORE Labor Day, and for the final two weeks of the season, it will be open only for lap swimming in the mornings. Pool officials say the problem is that they can’t staff it, but until last year, the pool always managed to find staff to work through Labor Day. The outdoor pool brings families downtown and serves the residents of eastern Lawrence, many of whom walk and bike to it. I urge city leaders to find a way to keep the pool open, at least through Labor Day. Megan Greene, Lawrence

Jayhawks in dark over next pro foe

By Jesse Newell jnewell@ljworld.com

VERSAILLES, FRANCE — Kansas University coach Bill Self hasn’t been able to gather much information about AMW Team France, which is KU’s opponent in today’s 1 p.m. Central exhibition game at Stade Pierre de Coubertin in Paris.

Ragone ‘animal’ at TE for KU

“I had lunch with their coaches (Friday), and they’re just putting the team together,” Self said. “They’ve only been together four days now, I think, but it’s pro players from over here in the A and B (French professional) leagues.”

Self said the impression he has is that AMW Team France will be more talent-

ed than the Swiss national team (which KU defeated, 79-76 and 83-79, earlier this week) but will have players who haven’t played together nearly as long.

“You could tell talking to the coaches (Friday) that this is a big deal, and they’re taking it serious,” Self said. “I hope our guys do as well. We haven’t

played well since we’ve been here. I think there’s a couple reasons for that, but we need to step up and play (today).”

The atmosphere could change as well, as the 3,800seat stadium is not sold out but should have a much bigger crowd than the two games in Switzerland, which averaged 225 fans.

Europe coaching change Self actually has won only one game as head coach during KU’s exhibition trip this week.

During Wednesday’s 83-79 victory over the Swiss national team, Self allowed assistant coach Joe Dooley to be the head man on the sidelines.

KANSAS CITY RUNNING BACK SHAUN DRAUGHN (32) CELEBRATES his first-half touchdown during the Chiefs’ 27-17 victory over the Arizona Cardinals on Friday in Kansas City, Mo.

Healing stars solid for K.C. KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — Jamaal Charles took a solid hit to the left knee on his very first carry, then bounced right up and helped the Kansas City Chiefs score touchdowns on their first two possessions en route to a 27-17 preseason victory over the Arizona Cardinals on Friday night.

Charles, the NFL’s secondleading rusher in 2010, had 12 yards on three carries and caught one pass for 11 yards in

his first action since ACL surgery on the left knee last September. Two other key starters who also sat out last season with ACL surgery — safety Eric Berry and tight end Tony Moeaki — also played with no apparent problem, a huge relief for fans and coaches.

For the second straight game, the defense for Arizona (tied No. 23 in the AP Pro 32) yielded a touchdown on the opening drive, with Matt Cas-

sel hitting Peyton Hillis on a 12-yard scoring strike to open the game.

In their second possession, the Chiefs (No. 18) romped 72 yards in just four plays, capped by Shaun Draughn’s 4-yard run.

Little was decided in the battle between John Skelton and Kevin Kolb for Arizona’s starting quarterback job. But Please see CHIEFS, page 3B

KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. (AP) — The major known as “Glory’s Last Shot” turned into one last chance for Tiger Woods.

On the toughest scoring day in PGA Championship history, Woods made putts from one end of Kiawah Island to the other Friday for a 1-under 71 that gave him a share of the lead with Vijay Singh and Carl Pettersson going into the weekend.

“It was tough out there — wow,” Woods said.

Wow, indeed.

There were 41 players who failed to break 80, a list that included Rickie Fowler, Matt Kuchar and Hunter Mahan.

A colorful character with a thick South Jersey accent, a sharp sense of humor, an endearing laugh that has a hint of sinister to it and a deep love for Italian cooking and barbecue, Kansas University senior tight end Mike Ragone has but one color to his collar, and it’s blue.

“Just soft-spoken, laidback, quiet usually,” Ragone said of his personality.

“Then go onto the field, turn into an animal. You’ve got to, right?”

Right.

“I love being physical,” Ragone he said. “As you can see, my nose is different colors.”

Red, purple, black and blue.

“I don’t think I’ve broken it,” he said. “It’s still pretty, but it’s got different colors on it.”

Ragone is one of three seniors on KU’s roster who have graduated from Notre Dame and will use a final year of eligibility playing for Charlie Weis, the coach who recruited them to play under the golden dome.

A 6-foot-4, 255-pound native of Blackwood, N.J., Ragone has one of those physiques that appears carved from granite. Rivals.com ranked him as the No. 3 tight end in the nation in the high school class of 2006.

NEXT

Dixon, 20, ran the third leg of the semifinal, with Keshia Baker, Francena McCorory and DeeDee Trotter.

Unofficial split times had Dixon running the secondfastest of her four teammates at a blazing 50.15, with only Trotter clocking in faster at 50.12.

It had not been decided as of late Friday which four runners in the six-person relay pool will run in the final.

LONDON (AP) — The U.S. had a big lead when Carmelita Jeter got the baton for the anchor leg of the women’s 4x100-meter relay on Friday night.

She knew exactly what to do with it.

Jeter powered down the stretch and pointed the baton at the clock as she crossed the finish line, celebrating a world-record time of 40.82 seconds that gave the Ameri-

cans their first victory in the event since 1996.

Tianna Madison, 200-meter champion Allyson Felix, Bianca Knight and Jeter combined for a perfect trip around the track that ended a string of disappointments for the U.S. in the marquee relay. At the 2008 Beijing Games, the Americans didn’t even reach the final because Please see OLYMPICS, page 6B

LSU’s Mathieu kicked off team BATON ROUGE, LA. (AP) — Heisman Trophy finalist Tyrann Mathieu was kicked off LSU’s football team Friday for breaking an athletic department rule, a blow to the Tigers’ national championship hopes three weeks before their season opener.

The junior defensive back — nicknamed Honey Badger for his tenacious style, small stature (5-foot-9, 175 pounds) and blond streak of hair — rose from obscurity to become one of college football’s biggest standouts last season.

He was a sleeper Heisman candidate as the Tigers won the Southeastern Conference championship and reached the BCS title game. But almost as quickly

as Mathieu rose to fame and became the face of LSU football, the Honey Badger phenomenon ended in Death Valley. “We’ll miss Mathieu the guy,� coach Les Miles said at a news conference. “The football team’s got to go on. We’ll have to fill the void.�

Miles would not specify the reason Mathieu was dismissed.

His Tigers are still among the favorites to win the national title this year, even without Mathieu.

Athletic director Joe Alleva

said Mathieu, who was suspended for a game in 2011 after failing a drug test, violated an athletic department rule and had his scholarship revoked.

The Times-Picayune of New Orleans, citing an unidentified person close to the player, reported that Mathieu failed another drug test. Several highranking LSU administrators said they either did not know which rule Mathieu had violated or refused to discuss the matter. School policy allows for a player to lose his scholarship even without another positive test if he does not fulfill all the terms of university probation. “Being an athlete is a privi-

lege,� Alleva said. “It’s a privilege and you have to follow the rules to take advantage of that privilege. And unfortunately, he doesn’t have that privilege here anymore. “He really is a good kid. It’s a shame. But I told him this morning that he has the rest of his life and his life is still ahead of him.

He still has a tremendous opportunity to do good things and I encouraged him to do those good things, and I think he will.�

Alleva said the violation did not involve law enforcement and Mathieu could stay at LSU and pay tuition. But Alleva said that was unrealistic. “He’s not going to stay in school,� he said.

COMMENTARY

Howard leaves Magic hopeless

By Mike Bianchi The Orlando Sentinel

ORLANDO, FLA. — Sadness.

That is all.

Just sadness.

Hollow, hopeless, heartbreaking sadness.

That is what it feels like to be a Magic fan right now.

Not anger. Not blame. Not even relief.

Not now.

Not when you are forced to say goodbye to Dwight Howard, the greatest player in your franchise’s history, as he takes his talents to Hollywood.

As one of my buddies from Ohio tweeted Friday: “Dear Orlando, We Understand. Sincerely, Cleveland.�

How did “The Happiest Place on Earth� become the saddest sports city in America?

Ten days ago, Central Florida gets five years of probation from the NCAA. This week, the Magic get five years of irrelevance from the NBA. Sorry, but there is no way to feel good if you’re a Magic fan.

On Friday, your team traded in its vintage Maserati and just pulled into the driveway in a 1986 Chevette.

The Lakers get Dwight, the most dominant, dynamic center in the league, while the Magic get some young players, some draft picks and a half-off coupon at Jiffy Lube. Yes, Dwight forced the franchise into this massive rebuilding situation, but it still doesn’t make the trade any more palatable for those who have invested thousands of dollars in season tickets. “Anytime you trade one of the best players in the league, it’s a hard pill to swallow,� new Magic general manager Rob Hennigan said. “Especially when we live in a world of immediacy and instant gratification. What we’re trying to build here is the antithesis of that.�

Translation: The team is going to get worse before it gets better.

Magic fans knew this day was coming and have had a chance to prepare themselves, but it doesn’t make today any less devastating. The finality of Dwight’s departure gnaws at your insides and makes you wonder whether you will ever again fall in love with an athlete again.

The flame is gone. The breakup is complete. The only thing missing is Dwight blocking the entire city of Orlando from his Facebook page.

You know what this is like?

It’s like being in love with the woman of your dreams, and she dumps you for some new, good-looking guy with a lot of money and a lot of bling.

And, finally, after years and years, you get over the pain and depression and cautiously allow yourself to take the plunge with another woman who you believe is the new love of your life.

And then you know what happens?

She dumps you, too — for the SAME STINKING GUY!

DWIGHT HOWARD IS SHOWN DURING A NEWS CONFERENCE IN Orlando, Fla., with his three NBA defensive player-of-the-year awards in this 2011 file photo. The Orlando Magic traded Howard to the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday.

Howard sent to Lakers in four-team trade LOS ANGELES — Dwight Howard held some of the championship trophies in the Los Angeles Lakers’ facility Friday, the first act of the next phase of his NBA career. “Making some wishes,� Howard said.

One of his wishes has finally come true. At long last, he’s out of Orlando.

It took four teams, 11 other players, five draft picks and countless rounds of talks over many months, but the Orlando Magic decided the time was right to start over without the NBA’s best center and end a saga that has dogged the franchise for what seems like an eternity.

Howard is off to play alongside Kobe Bryant in Los Angeles, after a megadeal involving the Lakers, Magic, Philadelphia and Denver was worked out Thursday and completed Friday after the NBA reviewed and approved the particulars. “It was just a very tough situation for everybody to let go,� Howard said. “I’m finally glad that it’s over with. Myself and the Magic organization, we can all start over and begin a new career. Today is a fresh new start for all of us.�

As far as the other headliners involved, Andrew Bynum leaves the Lakers for Philadelphia, and Andre Iguodala is heading to Denver. “Are we taking a step back? Absolutely, we are,� Magic general manager Rob Hennigan said. “But we’re taking a step back with a vision.�

Even while otherwise busy at the London Olympics, Bryant quickly proclaimed that the Lakers are “locked and loaded to bring back the title.� He spoke with Howard on Friday morning, and interrupted his pursuit of a gold medal — the Americans will play for another of those Sunday — to talk about how the Lakers look very much like a major contender for another NBA title. “I’ll probably play two or three more years.

Then the team is his,� Bryant said. “I’m excited for the franchise because now they have a player that can carry the franchise well after I’m gone. This should be his and he should want to accept that challenge.�

Orlando got guard Arron Afflalo and forward Al Harrington from Denver, forward Moe Harkless and center Nikola Vucevic from Philadelphia, and forward Josh McRoberts and guard Christian Eyenga from the Lakers. The Lakers acquired Howard, guard Chris Duhon and forward Earl Clark from Orlando. The Magic also traded guard Jason Richardson to Philadelphia.

Orlando also gets five draft picks over five years. “There will be no panic,� Magic coach Jacque Vaughn said. “There will be no chaos.�

GOLF

Late birdies boost Choi SYLVANIA, OHIO — Chella Choi shrugged off two bogeys to start the back nine, birdieing three holes coming down the stretch for a 4-under 67 and a one-shot lead Friday after the second round of the Jamie Farr Toledo Classic.

Choi, winless in her four years on the LPGA tour, started with a 66 and was at 9-under 133 at rainy Highland Meadows Golf Club.

Inbee Park, winner of the most recent tour event, the Evian Masters, had the day’s low round, climbing 29 spots on the leaderboard with a 6-under 65. Mika Miyazato had a 68, and Hee Kyung Seo a 66 to join Park at 8 under.

BASEBALL

Konerko put on concussion list CHICAGO — The White Sox placed first baseman Paul Konerko on the seven-day concussion disabled list.

The 36-year-old Konerko has been feeling concussion symptoms since Tuesday, when he was elbowed in the head by Kansas City’s Jarrod Dyson during a close play at first.

Konerko finished the game but didn’t play Wednesday. The White Sox were off on Thursday and made the move to place him on the disabled list on Friday before Chicago played Oakland.

Ex-Vikings RB King charged ANOKA, MINN. — Former Minnesota Vikings running back Caleb King has been charged with assault for allegedly punching a man outside a birthday party in April.

The Anoka County Attorney’s Office charged King with third- and fifth-degree assault.

According to the complaint, the man was waiting for a ride home after the party in Oak Grove on April 28 when King accused him of calling him names.

Free State bowling coach steps down

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

It wasn’t that Anita Carlson didn’t enjoy coaching the bowling teams at Free State High, but she knew that she would need to resign this summer after seven seasons of leading the program.

The former coach’s career path took her elsewhere. Her long-term professional goal had al-

But in parts of four seasons at Notre Dame, Ragone caught just 11 passes.

He played behind a pair of NFL tight ends and suffered a torn ACL knee injury twice during his five years at ND. Same player as before the injuries?

“I’m still Mike Ragone, babe,” he said and laughed. “I’m still me. It’s actually changed me for the better. It’s matured me. When I was younger, I used to think that I was Superman. I was never hurt before, and then I tore my ACL for the first time in high school, and my whole mind changed.

It made me stronger as a human being. I’m actually kind of thankful it happened.”

ways been to become an administrator, and once Carlson left the world-language department at Free State, where she taught Spanish for 15 years, she knew her coaching duties wouldn’t mesh with her new administrative position in the district as a curriculum specialist for social studies and world language.

Carlson worked on her degree in administration

while teaching and coaching at FSHS, so she knew her days as a coach were numbered.

“It was a wonderful experience,” she said of her time instructing the boys and girls bowlers.

Bowling first became a KSHSAA sport in the 2005 winter season, and Carlson became the Firebirds’ coach the following year. In 2007, the Free State boys finished second

Jeff Blasko said based on what he has seen of Ragone in camp, it’s easy to understand why he was so highly ranked coming out of high school.

“Without question,” Blasko said. “Anyone who has that kind of size, that kind of toughness, that can block the point of attack and in addition to that be able to run and catch the football consistently, there’s no question it doesn’t surprise me at all.”

Blasko called Ragone “a tough guy, tough guy, brings a sense of toughness to the entire offensive unit.”

Blasko attributed many of the same football skills he listed for Ragone to backup tight end Jimmay Mundine and added, “huge, huge improvement from spring practice.”

“But these guys haven’t had an opportunity to do so. They need to make their own subs and do some things and do it in a way that I’m in the background.”

Dooley also called the team’s timeouts Wednesday while serving as the mediator with officials.

“We were down three

Self told his team before it left for Europe that Dooley would coach Game Two and Townsend would coach Game Four.

Staff and Wire Reports

Hoey of Northern Ireland at 70, and Woods, Phil Mickelson and Ian Poulter at 71.

It’s the second time this year that Woods has had a share of the lead in a major going into the weekend. He missed one chance at Olympic Club in the U.S. Open, when he stumbled to a 75-73 to tie for 21st. He was in the penultimate group at the British Open until a triple bogey on the sixth hole of the final round took him out of the mix.

One last major, one last shot.

“I’ve been in this position many times over my career,” he said. “Again, we’re just at the halfway

KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. — Gary Woodland had two double-bogeys and four bogeys on an eighthole stretch during a rough second day at the PGA Championship.

A day after shooting a 67 to put himself in a tie for second, Woodland shot a 7-over 79 to put himself in a tie for point. We have a long way to go.”

Six players were atop the leaderboard on this day of survival. Singh was the first to post at 4-under 140, and it didn’t look as though anyone would be able to even match that as the wind never let up on The Ocean Course.

24th, six strokes behind co-leaders Vijay Singh, Tiger Woods and Carl Pettersson.

Woodland had just one birdie on the front nine, a 4 on the par-5 No. 2, though he did par six of the other first seven holes before his double-bogey 5 on the par-3 eighth started his bogey-filled run.

Pettersson stayed in the lead as long as he could until a few errant tee shots cost him at the end of his round and he had to settle for a 74. Woods, playing on the opposite side of the course, showed early on that he figured out something with his putter.

at state, but those types of accomplishments aren’t what made her appreciate her time with the program.

“It’s not so much championships or regionals or the Sunflower League … but the opportunity it gave me to work with a diverse population was awesome,” Carlson said.

Bowling allowed her to coach an array of athletes, some very skilled. But

Carlson always enjoyed coaching students who “maybe never would have participated in an athletic event” had bowling not been an option.

“As an educator, that was the highlight for me,” she said.

FSHS athletic director Mike Hill said Carlson made a positive impact in her seven seasons.

“She was a terrific coach,” Hill said, “and I think a lot

SUMMARY

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

Pregame plans Self has scheduled a practice from 1 to 2:15 p.m. local time before his team’s game today.

After the run-through, the Jayhawks have planned to go shopping together as a group before relaxing prior to the 8 p.m. local (1 p.m. Central) tipoff.

William Powell, a secondyear running back from Kansas State, had a big game, rushing for 92 yards on nine carries. He scored the Cardinals’ first touchdown on a 2-yard run on fourth down after exploding for 67 yards a moment before.

Skelton started and was 3 for 6 for 35 yards and one interception. Kolb, who started in the Hall of Fame game against New Orleans, came off the bench and was 1-for-5 for 21 yards.

The Cardinals, who spent the week practicing at the Chiefs’ camp in nearby St. Joseph, Mo., dropped to 0-2 in the preseason, while the Chiefs matched their preseason victory total for the past three seasons.

Cassel, who missed most of the second half last season due to a hand injury, looked sharp.

Along with birdie putts of 15 feet and 40 feet on the opening two holes, there was a collection of big par saves — from 20 feet on the third hole, a pair of 8-foot par putts a few holes later. There were even two short par putts that swirled 360 degrees around the cup and dropped.

The only disappointment was the way it ended. After hooking a tee shot that rattled around the corporate tents and allowed him a shot into the 18th, he ran his birdie putt about 6 feet by the hole and three-putted for bogey.

It cost him his first outright lead in a major in three years, but this was not a day to complain.

“It was fun, but it also was tough,” Woods said.

“You were getting blown all over the place. It was just a very difficult day.”

Poulter was tied for the lead until a bogey on his last hole, though he showed again that he can thrive in windy, demanding conditions.

“The golf shots this golf course asks you to hit time and time and time and time again ... you really have to hit phenomenal golf shots,” Poulter said.

The course played so difficult that the afternoon groups were delayed 20 minutes, and one player failed to finish — Joost Luiten of the Netherlands, who was 1 over for the tournament and will return this morning to complete his round.

The scoring average was 78.11. The previous record for the PGA Championship was 76.8 in the opening round at Llanerch Country Club in 1958.

ence,” Self said. “This is good for them.”

of our athletes improved under her tutelage.”

Though Carlson won’t miss the logistics of some of her coaching responsibilities, such as scheduling and organizing tournaments, she said she will miss interacting with so many students outside of the classroom.

“I’m glad someone (else) will get the opportunity to experience what I got to experience,” she said.

O’s, Machado overpower K.C. BALTIMORE (AP) — When Manny Machado arrived at Camden Yards amid much fanfare, Orioles manager Buck Showalter insisted the 20-year-old player was promoted for no other reason than to help the team win.

And that is precisely what Machado did in his second game in the major leagues.

Machado thrust himself into the Orioles’ record book by hitting two home runs and driving in four runs, a power display that carried Baltimore past the Kansas City Royals, 7-1, on Friday night.

After going 2-for-4 in his debut on Thursday,

Machado hit a solo shot in the fifth inning and a three-run drive in the sixth. Both homers came off Luke Hochevar (7-10) and landed in the leftfield seats.

The second clinched the victory, but Machado will never forget his first home run trot in the big leagues.

“It was the best feeling ever,” he said. “The crowd here loves me, and for them to support me like that, after my first home run, it just felt great.”

After the second one, Machado was pushed out the dugout by teammate Adam Jones to acknowledge the request of a cur-

UNITED STATES FORWARD KEVIN DURANT COMES DOWN after a dunk in a 109-83 victory over Argentina on Friday in London.

Olympics CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

Torri Edwards and Lauryn Williams bobbled the last exchange in the semifinals.

Their final time cut more than a half-second off the old record of 41.37 run by East Germany in 1985.

“I just knew if we had clean baton passes that we would definitely challenge the world record,” Madison said. “Smash it like we did? We had no idea, but I knew it was in us.”

Jamaica won the silver medal in a national record of 41.41 seconds, with 100 champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, Sherone Simpson, Veronica Campbell-Brown and Kerron Stewart bringing the baton around.

Kevin Durant and the U.S. men’s basketball team also had quite the closing kick in their semifinal against Argentina.

Durant scored 19 points, and LeBron James did a little bit of everything as Team USA pulled away for a 109-83 victory and a spot in Sunday’s final against Spain.

Argentina trailed by four early in the second half when the United States put the game away behind the strength of James and Durant’s shooting ability.

Durant made two threepointers in an 8-0 spurt that pushed the lead to 13, and when Argentina got back within eight, the NBA’s MVP and runnerup teamed up to blow it open.

James had a basket and drove for a powerful dunk while being fouled. Durant followed with consecutive three-pointers, and James tipped in a miss and suddenly the lead was 19, 72-53, with 1:30 left in the period.

Back on the track, the American team was in control in the men’s 4x400 relay until Ramon Miller of the Bahamas chased down Angelo Taylor on the anchor leg to grab his country’s first gold in a race won by the U.S. in every Olympics since 1984.

But the silver helped the United States run its lead in the medals table to 94-81 over China.

Kaun, Russia fall in semi Staff and Wire Reports

Former Kansas University center Sasha Kaun scored 14 points in Russia’s 67-59 loss to Spain in an Olympic basketball semifinal on Friday in London. Kaun, a native of Tomsk who was a member of KU’s 2008 NCAA title team, hit seven of 10 shots and grabbed five rebounds in 24 minutes. Russia will meet Argentina on Sunday for the bronze medal. team, anchored by double-amputee “Blade Runner” Oscar Pistorius, fell behind well before Pistorius received the baton and was eighth.

Turkey’s Alsi Cakir Alptekin (women’s 1,500 meters), Ethiopia’s Meseret Defar (women’s 5,000 meters) Russia’s Tatyana Lysenko (women’s hammer throw) and France’s Renaud Lavillenie (men’s pole vault) were the other winners at Olympic Stadium.

European champion Alptekin, who served a two-year suspension for doping after the 2004 world junior championships, led a 1-2 finish for Turkey in her race. She finished in 4:10.23 and Gamze Bulut was next in 4:10.40.

Wrestler Jordan Burroughs had his eyes on a gold medal for months, and he let everyone know about his plans.

Then he delivered.

The 24-year-old American backed up all that talk, beating Iran’s Sadegh Saeed Goudarzi 1-0, 1-0 in the men’s 74-kilogram freestyle division to give the U.S. its first wrestling gold in London.

“A lot of people call it cocky, people call it over confident,” said Burroughs, who selected (at) alliseeisgold for his Twitter handle. “But I knew I was going to win.”

Burroughs, who grew up in New Jersey, has won 38 straight international freestyle matches and is the first Olympian to claim the $250,000 prize from the Living the Dream Medal Fund, a program designed to support U.S. wrestling.

An hour after beating Goudarzi, the tweet-happy Burroughs posted a shot of himself beaming beside his gold.

Maris Strombergs of Latvia won his first gold in 2008. Now he has two.

Strombergs defended his BMX title over a harrowing course in Olympic Park, taking the lead at the start and never relinquishing it. He cruised across the finish line in 37.576 seconds to add to the title he won in Beijing, when the sport made its Olympic debut.

The rest of the Olympic action Friday:

Swimming Ous Mellouli of Tunisia won the grueling 10-kilometer race to become the first swimmer to win medals in the pool and open water at the same Olympics.

Mellouli pulled away from a small group of leaders in the fifth of six laps and finished in 1 hour, 49 minutes, 55.1 seconds in the murky waters of the Serpentine in Hyde Park. He also won bronze in the 1,500-meter freestyle last week.

It was the second gold of Mellouli’s Olympic career. He also took the 1,500 at the 2008 Beijing Games.

Boxing Lightweight Vasyl Lomachenko and two Ukrainian teammates advanced to gold-medal bouts.

Lomachenko, Chinese light flyweight Zou Shiming and Italian super heavyweight Roberto Cammarelle all won their semifinals, earning the right to fight during the final weekend for their second straight Olympic gold medals.

Two more fighters also protested the results of their bouts in a tournament full of appeals to amateur boxing’s governing body. Ukraine light heavyweight Oleksandr Gvozdyk protested his loss to Kazakhstan’s Adilbek Niyazymbetov on a tiebreaker, and super heavyweight Magomedrasul Medzhidov protested his one-point loss to Cammarelle. AIBA rejected both protests late Friday night.

Britain will have three fighters in gold-medal bouts.

Bantamweight Luke Campbell, welterweight Freddie Evans and super heavyweight Anthony Joshua also scored semifinal wins.

Dear Annie: I’m a college student and only get to see my long-distance boyfriend once every four or five weeks. We’ve been dating for more than 18 months. Assuming we stay together through grad school, we will have dated longer than six years before we have the chance to live together.

Since I haven’t spent all that much time with him, my biggest fear is that we won’t get along once we settle down. So far, the longest stretch of time we’ve spent in each other’s company is six days. What if, by the time graduation rolls around, I discover that I’ve fallen in love with the idea of my boyfriend instead of the real deal?

— Undergrad Dear Undergrad: Believe it or not, some couples don’t live together before marriage and still manage to have happy, compatible lives. But you do have a legitimate

concern about how little time you’ve spent in each other’s company, and your articulation about “falling in love with love” might be accurate. So don’t make any sudden plans. If you find yourself seriously attracted to someone else, it means you aren’t ready to commit to your boyfriend. If you still want to be with him when you are no longer separated by distance, take the time to determine whether it’s the real deal. No one should feel rushed into marriage.

Dear Annie: My sister,

Hallmark movie faces the music One of the “Designing Women” stars in a heart-tugger right out of “Glee” and “High School Musical” by way of “The Brady Bunch” in the 2012 message movie “The Music Teacher” (8 p.m., Hallmark).

When a music teacher (Annie Potts) has funding for her afterschool program cut, her former students — now successful professionals in their early 30s — band together to raise money to save the day. How? By putting on a show!

This film was produced in partnership with VH1’s “Save the Music” foundation that raises money to save and promote school music programs.

Defending the arts against budget cuts was also a cause frequently espoused by the late composer Marvin Hamlisch (“The Way We Were,” ‘‘A Chorus Line”), who died earlier this week.

“Jane,” was divorced a few years ago. She’s been seeing a counselor for two years because she enabled her lazy husband.

Here’s the problem.

Jane has “adopted” my family because one of her sons has disowned her, his wife won’t speak to her because Jane verbally attacked her, and her other son wants to be left alone for a while.

If there is a holiday, Jane wants to be invited to be with my family.

If there is a birthday or wedding, even on my husband’s side, she has to send a card.

Jane also is very domineering. She rips things out of my hand to put them away. She makes demeaning remarks about people and isn’t happy with anything.

Her co-workers don’t do the work right, the neighbors do everything wrong, etc., etc. I could go on, but I don’t want to sound like her. What do

UNIVERSAL CROSSWORD

A POTTED PUZZLE By Carl Denison

8/11

I do? — Texas Sister Dear Texas: Let’s separate this into sections. If Jane wants to send birthday, holiday or get-well cards to anyone, fine.

These sentiments are harmless and are often appreciated by the recipients, even if they seem strange to you. Jane clings to your family because she can’t be with her own, so it is a kindness to include her whenever possible. The rest sounds like depression and anger.

You’ve been a supportive sister, but we recommend you set clear boundaries so Jane understands the limits of your tolerance. It’s also OK to tell her that her complaints indicate that she is bitter and unhappy, and gently suggest that she discuss these things ACROSS with her therapist.
