Tax cut issue raised in school finance fight

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Concerns about losing a generation of students and Gov. Sam Brownback’s tax cuts were raised Wednesday before a three-

judge panel considering whether the state is spending enough on public schools.

The wide-ranging views about school funding were voiced during three hours of closing arguments in a lawsuit brought by 54 school

at will likely be appealed to the Kansas Supreme Court, which means the Legislature may not have to deal with a final ruling until the 2014 legislative session.

“The costs have gone up, the demands have gone up,

and the funding has gone down. That is undisputed,” said Alan Rupe, the lead attorney for the school districts.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY FRESHMAN SAVANNAH ROEMER, of Denver, looks up from her studies Wednesday as she sits among the weeds surrounding Potter Lake. While some may find the overgrowth in and around the lake to be a tranquil setting, others think it needs a bit of tidying up for environmental as well as aesthetic reasons.

Water lilies invade Potter Lake

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

After a much-needed dredging in 2010 and a number of student-led cleanup efforts, Kansas University’s iconic Potter Lake has a new enemy this semester: water lilies.

The plant’s pink flowers may be nice to look at in small doses but they can be aggressive, said Scott Campbell, associate director for outreach and public service for the Kansas Biological Survey.

And once they are introduced to a lake — particularly a shallow one — they spread easily. Today, the plants are covering about half of the lake’s surface.

“It sure has done well,” Campbell said, looking out over the lake this week.

The plants aren’t native to Kansas, and Campbell said he isn’t sure how they were introduced to Potter Lake.

Campbell stressed that the water lily issue is merely an aesthetic one, and that the dredging project took care of other, more serious, issues with the lake. The lake was slowly filling in with sediment, and the dredging removed

Ryan: Romney can fix economy

By David Espo Associated Press

TAMPA, FLA. — Seizing the campaign spotlight, vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan embraced “the calling of my generation” to help lead the country in tough times Wednesday night and pledged to cheering Republican National Convention delegates and a prime-time TV audience that Mitt Romney will make the bold and difficult decisions needed to repair the nation’s economy.

THE SURFACE OF POTTER LAKE is about half full of aggressive water lilies, which are not native to Kansas. nutrients that had washed into the pond over the last 50 years.

Campbell went to the water’s edge and pointed out many tiny fish swimming in the lake.

“The water quality of the lake and the overall health of the lake have improved dramatically since the dredging,” Campbell said.

But the dredging may have unintentionally scattered the water lily plants across the lake.

Now they’re likely here to stay, he said.

The plants are covering

most of the water surface where the lake is 6 feet deep and shallower. They are perennial plants, and will require annual removal, he said.

Peg Livingood, landscape architect for KU’s Design and Construction Management office, said a group of KU experts in different areas are working on a long-term plan to manage the lake.

“It’s really kind of a volunteer effort by different groups on campus,” she said.

KANSAS CITY, MO. — Family members of four people killed in a grain elevator explosion last year in northeast Kansas are suing employees of Bartlett Grain Co., including its current president Bob Knief, less than five months after federal investigators pinned the blame for the blast on the Kansas City, Mo., company.

The wrongful death lawsuits were filed Monday in Jackson County Circuit Court in Missouri on behalf of Bartlett employees Chad Roberts, 20; Ryan Federinko, 21; Curtis Field, 21; and John Burke, 24. They were killed along with two grain inspectors — Travis Keil, 34, and Darrek Klahr, 43 — when the Bartlett elevator exploded Oct. 29, 2011, in Atchison, Kan. “It hurts as bad today as

virons student group.

The group has decided that it doesn’t want to introduce chemicals to the lake. Campbell said that option could be costly and might kill desirable plants.

It also would require reapplication each year, he said.

In 2009, a group of students organized the Potter Lake Project after several fish kills occurred in the lake and a thin green scum made it clear action was needed. The original organizers of that group have graduated and the group is now defunct.

But Kim Scherman, a Eudora senior and president of KU Environs, said her group agreed to take over some of the volunteer efforts necessary to help improve the lake moving forward.

“It could use some help,” she said. “A cleanup is definitely in order, and we’ll talk about that soon.”

It’s still early in the semester, she said, so the group is just beginning to set its goals for the year.

A longtime supporter of the Lawrence community and former president of First National Bank of Lawrence lost a battle with cancer Sunday in Bellevue, Wash.

Lynn Anderson was 72 years old.

“When he lived in Lawrence, he felt strongly about the community to help it grow,” said daughter Heather Anderson.

Anderson served as president of First National Bank of Lawrence, now U.S. Bank, from 1980 to 1987. Anderson also served as president of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, the Lawrence United Way and the Kansas Business Association.

Heather Anderson described her father as a humble and sincere man, who was happiest when he was working.

lead attorney representing the state, argued that cuts to schools have been insignificant, and that legislators were forced to make tough budgetary decisions when state revenues were plummeting during the recession.

He told the judges there were no “monsters” in the Legislature who wanted to ruin public education.

Chalmers said increased funding sought by the school districts would have a “disastrous effect” on the economy.

But Judge Robert Fleming asked Chalmers how could the panel ignore the recently enacted tax cuts while at the same time the Legislature failed to provide the amount of funding that studies have shown is needed for schools.

Chalmers said the judicial branch shouldn’t get involved in the budget and tax decisions of the Legislature and governor.

“That puts the court in the awkward position of acting like a super Legislature. I don’t think the court wants to do that,” he said.

During the last legislative session, Brownback, a Republican, and his GOP colleagues approved a tax law that will reduce individual income tax rates next year, merging the

it did then,” Roberts’ stepfather, Kevin Bock, said Wednesday. “The feelings don’t stop. You learn to work through certain things, but they don’t stop.”

Bock, whose wife is suing on behalf of Roberts, said he encouraged the other families to also sue Bartlett after the Occupational Safety and Health Administration issued a report in April saying the grain-dust explosion could have been prevented if the elevator’s operators had addressed hazards known in the industry.

“Bartlett Grain’s disregard for the law led to a catastrophic accident and heartbreaking tragedy for the workers who were injured or killed, their families and the agricultural community,” U.S. Labor Secretary Hilda Solis said in April in response to the OSHA report, which sought $406,000 in penalties in addition to citations alleging five willful and eight serious safety violations.

Department of Labor spokesman Scott Allen said the company has contested the citations and fine, and it could take up to a year or more for it to go through the administrative review process.

Bartlett officials have called the OSHA findings flawed and vowed to fight the claims.

When contacted for comment on the lawsuits Wednesday, Bartlett provided the same statement it sent out in April criticizing OSHA’s report, though it added a paragraph saying it still believes its employees acted reasonably at all times prior to the explosion.

“While we are just seeing the suit and its allegations, it appears to be based on nothing more or less than the OSHA citations, with which we take total exception and which we therefore, certainly have appealed,” the company said.

Efforts to clean up Potter Lake Half of the surface of Kansas University’s Potter Lake is covered with water lily plants, and it’s just the latest in a series of challenges the lake has faced in recent years. The lake will require annual maintenance to remove plant life moving forward.

Spring 2008: Students formed the Potter Lake Project, adding Asian grass carp to the lake in an effort to rid the lake of the green muck collected on its surface.

Summer 2009: Heavy rains fueled plant growth in the lake, and it reaches a crisis point as the plants sucked oxygen out of the lake, leading to the death of hundreds of fish.

April 2010: University officials and KU’s Student Senate approved $125,000 in funding to dredge the lake. A second $200,000 project, funded through the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act, was approved to help reduce

the amount of storm water runoff coming from Jayhawk Boulevard that drains into the lake.

September 2010: The lake was dredged, as crews sucked up thousands of cubic feet of sediment that had been deposited in the lake. Crews found part of a football goalpost on the lake’s bottom, along with a classroom chair, car floor mat, a bike and other items.

November 2011: Students in the Potter Lake Project removed more than a ton of vegetation from the lake in a cleanup effort.

August 2012: As water lilies covered half of the lake, members of the KU Environs student group said they agreed to take on annual volunteer maintenance efforts after the Potter Lake Project group folded. They were organizing a student work day for later in the semester.

She said the group state’s three tax brackets into two and dropping the top rate to 4.9 percent from 6.45 percent.

The law also exempts the owners of 191,000 partnerships, sole proprietorships and other businesses from income taxes.

Brownback said the record tax cuts will stimulate the economy, but critics say the reduced tax revenue will force deep cuts in education, social services and public safety.

State fiscal analysts say the cuts will lead to budget shortfalls of $2.5 billion by 2018.

Meanwhile, schools are being short-changed by $511 million per year, or 16 percent of total funding, because of recent state cuts, Rupe said.

Those cuts “are affecting an entire generation of kids,” Rupe said. Of the impending tax cuts, Rupe said, the state is taking money from students “to appease somebody else.”

He said he was incredulous that Chalmers would call the recent budget cuts insignificant.

“That insignificant amount of money has caused massive cuts in programs,” Rupe said.

Judge Franklin Theis, the presiding judge of the panel, pressed Chalmers on how legislators arrived at their decisions on school funding and whether they considered the actual costs necessary to educate students.

Chalmers said it was a judgment call and that

legislators had to balance many factors.

Under a previous state Supreme Court ruling, the Legislature approved a law that was supposed to increase base state aid per student to $4,492 in 2010.

But funding cuts from 2009 to 2011 brought base state aid to its lowest level in years at $3,780 per student.

In testimony in June during a trial in the case, school officials said the cuts were preventing them from closing the achievement gap between whites and minorities.

But Chalmers argued that Kansans should be proud of the public education system. He said the state’s students rank high in national tests.

“We have a constitutional system that provides the opportunity for a suitable education,” he said.

And, he said, the Legislature still spends more than half of the state budget on public schools.

BRIEFLY Crews fight house fire in rural De Soto Firefighters in Johnson County extinguished a house fire Wednesday in rural De Soto.

Crews arrived at the scene, 8225 Ravenswood Lane, at 1:33 p.m. to find a two-story house a couple of miles east of the city engulfed in flames, according to Mark Billquist, Northwest Consolidated Fire District chief of operations.

“We did a defensive attack at first and knocked the fire down, and then we got into the structure and were able to search and put out the rest of the fire,” he said.

Trucks from Northwest Consolidated, Eudora and Lenexa assisted in putting the fire out. By 3 p.m., the fire was under control.

The house was extensively damaged. No one was in the residence at the time, and no firefighters were injured.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Meth suspect put in federal custody A 49-year-old Overland Park man who faces federal methamphetamine and firearm charges was transferred to federal custody Wednesday.

According to the federal complaint unsealed Wednesday, prosecutors accuse William Arthur Sheldon Jr. on Aug. 24 of possessing with intent to distribute five grams or more of meth and carrying a pistol while committing a drug trafficking crime.

According to an affidavit, a confidential informant told Douglas County Sheriff’s investigators Sheldon was in Lawrence on Aug. 24 selling meth, and a Lawrence police officer stopped Sheldon as he was driving on 23rd Street in a pickup truck with an expired license plate.

Sheldon was arrested for driving with a suspended license, and a Shawnee police K-9 unit discovered a substance believed to be methamphetamine and a gun in the truck.

According to the affidavit, Sheldon, in a jail interview with police, said both the gun and the truck belonged to his fiancee and he did not know there were drugs in the truck. Police in the affidavit allege Sheldon failed to register with authorities as required after a 1981 conviction in Arizona.

Be safe this holiday weekend Experts: Precautions should be taken on water and with fire

By Alex Garrison acgarrison@ljworld.com

The upcoming weekend is associated more with leisure than labor.

And area groups want to help make sure that Labor Day weekend is a safe one.

David Rhoades, park manager with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, said that, this year, people in the parks need to be especially careful around fire.

The prolonged hot, dry conditions have led to a burn ban in Douglas County (including Clinton Lake and other state parks), though fires are allowed within designated pits and grills on Corps property.

And if you’re going to camp, boat or fish, let someone you trust know exactly where you are, Rhoades recommended.

Provide the area of the lake or the section of the campground so that if anything should happen, officials can locate you much more easily.

He also provided these tips for outdoor recreation in these last days Richard Gwin/Journal-World Photo of summer:

Hy-Vee gasoline station to open ——

Facility to be first gold-level LEED certified convenience store in town

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

West Lawrence motorists will get a new option for gasoline purchases today, and they may get a glimpse at the future of how convenience stores are built too.

Hy-Vee is set to open its new gasoline station and convenience store at the corner of Clinton Parkway and Crossgate Drive at 6 a.m. today. When it opens, it will become the first gold-level LEED certified convenience store in Lawrence and the first for the Hy-Vee corporation anywhere.

The certification means the company is taking extra steps to ensure the store is environmentally friendly.

“The company has been looking for a place to test this type of format, and we thought Lawrence was the perfect fit,” said Andrew Yochum, the store director for the Hy-Vee at 3504 Clinton Parkway, which will oversee the convenience store.

The Merc buys building; County wants more info more apartments coming about new building codes Editor’s note: These are excerpts from Chad Lawhorn’s enormously popular Town Talk column that appears on LJWorld. com daily, Monday through Friday. The print edition of Town Talk appears frequently.

The Merc has com-

pleted a $1.7 million deal to buy the building that it has long rented at 901 Iowa.

The locally operated natural foods and grocery cooperative bought the building from owners Sharon and Bill Elkins. The Merc had been renting the building since 2001.

“Ten years ago we couldn’t even dream of owning, but this shows that ambitious goals are possible,” said Rita York Hennecke, general manager of The Merc.

The purchase also includes the adjoining space that houses Alvin’s Wine and Spirits. Alvin’s will continue to operate the space and has a long-term lease for the property.

Now that The Merc owns the building, it plans to make improvements to the energy efficiency and environmental sustainability of the building.

The Merc plans to have a party this fall to celebrate the purchase.

What do you get when you have a vacant piece of ground next to a Walmart on a busy state highway?

In Lawrence, the answer is: More apartments.

As we’ve previously reported, an idea to build a Lowe’s on the property just west of the Walmart at Sixth and Wakarusa has fallen by the wayside.

That means the plans for the property revert back to what seems to have become the default answer in Lawrence: more apartments.

Plans are now in for at least one apartment development on the 18-acre site.

Lawrence architect Paul Werner has filed plans with the city to build 88 two-bedroom apartments on the northern six acres of the site.

Hy-Vee CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

canopy covering the station’s gas pumps.

A rooftop rain collection system that will store water that will be used to operate the store’s toilets.

Concrete floors that don’t require wax or other chemicals to clean.

LED lighting and skylights that are expected to cut down on the store’s energy usage.

Landscaping beds that use native plants that require very little watering.

A grass lawn planted with buffalo grass instead of standard fescue.

Yochum said the buffalo grass is expected to use so little water that the store was allowed to be built without an irrigation system.

Limit alcohol intake.

Rhoades said the biggest complaint during holiday weekends was often related to intoxication, such as people being too loud, but alcohol also impairs abilities, which can lead to accidents if mixed with activities such as boating and swimming.

To keep little ones safe, just remember three basics: Flotation devices in water, seat belts in cars and helmets when on wheels. Lawrence Memo-

Town Talk

Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

The $5 million project, dubbed Camson South, will consist mainly of twostory apartment buildings and a clubhouse.

There will be more apartments on the way.

Werner tells me he is drawing up plans for 280 one-bedroom apartment units that will be on the southern part of the lot.

My understanding is that the two projects are being developed by different groups, but both are local development companies.

It would seem the new apartment project surely will help spur more business at the existing retailers near the Sixth and Wakarusa intersection. But the retailers may want to make sure they are geared up for apartment living (back in my day that would have meant futons, beer-bottle art and, well, the supplies to create beer-bottle art).

In addition to the two apartment projects mentioned above, there are two other apartment developments already under construction (or concluding) in the northwest corner of the city. Work began in late 2008 on a $28.5 million project to build 108 one-bedroom apartments and 192 two-bedroom apartments along Sixth Street between Stoneridge and Queens.

Work also is under way on a $8.3 million project to build about 130 living units at 204 Eisenhower Drive, which is just north of Walmart.

So, basically, in that short stretch between Stoneridge and Wakarusa, there soon will be 948 new living units hit the market.

Yes, it is accurate to say

that Lawrence is in the midst of another apartment boom — don’t forget there are about 1,000 living units slated for the former Gaslight mobile home park east of 31st and Iowa streets. Just think of the art possibilities.

As we recently reported, sales of single-family homes in Lawrence are on the rise. What aren’t on the rise, however, are selling prices.

The Lawrence Board of Realtors recently reported the median selling price of homes during the first seven months of the year was down 5.6 percent.

Douglas County Appraiser Steve Miles is seeing similar numbers.

Through July, Miles’ data indicates selling prices of homes throughout the county are down 6.7 percent compared with the same period a year ago.

How Miles sees selling prices is important because his office is responsible for setting the taxable value of all real estate in the county. If property is selling for less than it once did, Miles will have to adjust the taxable values downward.

Miles’ job is to come up with what the value of a home is on Jan. 1 of each year. In other words, Miles is gathering data now to help him determine what your home is worth on Jan. 1, 2013. So, what the sales data show as we get closer to Jan. 1 will be more important than what the data shows in July.

At the moment, Miles said a downward adjustment of many real estate values (not all, because individual circumstances with a property always prevail) is likely.

“What I’m seeing so far seems like we’re going to see another drop in value,” Miles told me recently. “I’ve got my fingers crossed and hope it will still turn around.”

Yochum said Hy-Vee officials are optimistic the store will be a significant money-saver on utility bills.

“On a sunny day, the skylights pretty much will light the store,” Yochum said. “Any retail store that has the amount of refrigeration or electronics that we use requires a lot of energy. I’m real interested in seeing what we can do about that.”

Lawrence motorists likely are interested in seeing what it will be like to have a convenience store along busy Clinton Parkway. The store will become the first convenience store on Clinton Parkway between Iowa and Wakarusa.

The facility will have 16 fueling stations and a 3,200-square-foot convenience store. Yochum said the store will have the feel of a Hy-Vee grocery store because the convenience

store actually will be managed as a department of Hy-Vee’s Clinton Parkway store.

Yochum said that means the store will feature salads, sandwiches and bakery items from the nearby grocery store each day.

“We think the amount of fresh food in the store will surprise people,” Yochum said.

The store also will allow people to take their Hy-Vee grocery receipts to the convenience store to receive discounts on gasoline.

Hy-Vee is increasing its Lawrence workforce by three full-time employees and 12 part-time employees to operate the store, which will be open from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. but will feature 24-hour fueling.

rial Hospital Community Education Specialist John J. Drees says it’s impossible to prevent all bumps and bruises, but requiring safety equipment, especially for kids, can help prevent tragedies.

For weekend holidaymakers who intend to travel outside the area, the national average gasoline price was $3.80 per gallon on Wednesday, said Betty Olivia, a spokeswoman for AAA of Kansas. That’s up

five cents from the day before. The increase was tied to refinery closures in anticipation of Hurricane Isaac arrival on the Gulf Coast. It’s too soon to tell if gas prices will go up further, Olivia said.

AAA predicts that some 33 million people will travel 50 or more miles from their home this weekend.

No on I-codes, at least for now.

The Douglas County Commission postponed approval of a new set of building codes in its Wednesday night meeting, saying that more discussion with builders and public contribution was needed.

Kay Pettit, combination building inspector of the county zoning and codes office, presented the plan to switch from a 1997 code to the 2012 international set of codes, which several surrounding counties use and the city of Lawrence is on track to approve. Discussion lasted more than an hour, with Pettit explaining proposed amendments, and commissioners Jim Flory and Mike Gaughan expressing that they wanted to learn more before moving ahead with approval.

A Lawrence homebuilding group had sent the commission a letter asking for more process; one member of the public spoke in favor of the new rules at the meeting.

Pettit said the I-codes as she amended them were “builder friendly” and that regulation like the county’s first-ever insulation requirement helped builders and consumers.

Flory said that he didn’t understand the need for the county government to dedicate such rules.

All three commissioners eventually expressed support of the plan but moved to continue discus-

sion with constituents and to have the issue tentatively put on the Sept. 19 meeting agenda.

In other County Commission business Wednesday:

The commission approved extension of the burn ban first put into effect July 25. It will last another week before the commission addresses it again, though COUNTY COMMISSION Gaughan can lift it if township fire chiefs recommend it.

Representatives from the county economic development community requested a loan of $15,000 to help with the relocation of a dinner train from Nebraska to the Midland Railways property.

Public works staff presented a plan to pave a frontage road near old U.S. Highway 59 in an agreement with KDOT

and the owners of the Sadies Lake property. The commission held off on approval until more details could be worked out in the proposed deal.

The county declared September National Disaster Preparation Month.

Four temporary business permits were issued, including one for the Cates Haunted Farm.

The commissioners and the county’s lawyer met in executive session for 30 minutes to discuss a land-acquisition issue related to roads. That portion of the meeting was not open to the public. County administrator Craig Weinaug said after the session that the commission had not come to any action within it.

The next meeting is at 4 p.m. Wednesday on the second floor of the County Courthouse, 1100 Mass.

Lawsuit: Wrongful conviction in deaths of highway workers

An attorney argued Wednesday that a 53-yearold woman convicted of striking and killing two highway workers with her truck south of Lawrence in 2007 did not receive a fair trial.

One of Folsom’s arguments Wednesday was that jurors should have had the option to convict Morgan under a definition of involuntary manslaughter that states the deaths occurred “during the commission of a lawful act in an unlawful manner.” He said this would have presented an alternative to second-degree murder, which is a more serious crime.

But Eve Kemple, an assistant Douglas County district attorney, said jurors did have the option of convicting Morgan under a different definition of involuntary manslaughter and vehicular homicide, which is a misdemeanor.

Yet they still reached a verdict of second-degree murder, she said.

Isaac steers clear of direct hit on New Orleans GOP leaders call

for more federal aid as storm strikes “

By Cain Burdeau and Michael Kunzelman Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS — Hurricane Isaac sidestepped New Orleans on Wednesday, sending the worst of its howling wind and heavy rain into a cluster of rural fishing villages that had few defenses against the slow-moving storm that could bring days of unending rain.

Isaac arrived exactly seven years after Hurricane Katrina and passed slightly to the west of New Orleans, where the city’s fortified levee system easily handled the assault.

The city’s biggest problems seemed to be downed power lines, scattered tree limbs and minor flooding.

Just one person was reported killed, compared with 1,800 deaths from Katrina in Louisiana and Mississippi. And police reported few problems with looting.

Mayor Mitch Landrieu ordered a dusk-to-dawn curfew just to be sure.

But in Plaquemines Parish, a sparsely populated area south of the city that is outside the federal levee system, dozens of people were stranded in flooded coastal areas and had to be rescued. The storm pushed water over an 18-mile levee and put so much pressure on it that authorities planned to intentionally puncture the floodwall to relieve the strain.

“I’m getting text messages from all over asking for help,” said Joshua Brockhaus, an electrician who was rescuing neighbors in his boat. “I’m dropping my dogs off, and I’m going back out there.”

By midafternoon, Isaac had been downgraded

CHUCK CROPP, CENTER, HIS SON PIERS, LEFT, AND WIFE, LIZ, RIGHT, WADE through floodwaters from Hurricane Isaac on Wednesday in New Orleans. As Isaac made landfall, it was expected to dump as much as 20 inches of rain in several parts of Louisiana. to a tropical storm. The Louisiana National Guard wrapped up rescue operations in Plaquemines Parish, saying they felt confident they had gotten everyone out and there were no serious injuries, but would stay in the area over the coming days to help, National Guard spokesman Capt.

Lance Cagnolatti said.

Isaac’s maximum sustained winds had decreased to 60 mph by Wednesday evening. Even at its strongest, Isaac was far weaker than Hurricane Katrina, which crippled New Orleans in 2005. Because Isaac’s coiled bands of rain and wind were moving at only 5 mph — about the pace of a brisk walk — the threat of storm surges and flooding was expected to last into a second night as the immense comma-shaped system crawled across Louisiana.

“We didn’t think it was going to be like that,”

Brockhaus said. “The storm stayed over the top of us. For Katrina, we got 8 inches of water. Now we have 13 feet.”

In Plaquemines Parish, about two dozen people who defied evacuation orders needed to be rescued.

The stranded included two police officers whose car became stuck.

“I think a lot of people were caught with their pants down,” said Jerry Larpenter, sheriff in nearby Terrebonne Parish. “This storm was never predicted right since it entered the Gulf. It was supposed to go to Florida, Panama City, Biloxi, New Orleans. We hope it loses its punch once it comes in all the way.”

The storm knocked out power to as many as 700,000 people, stripped branches off trees and flattened fields of sugar cane so completely that they looked as if a tank had driven over them.

“After four years of getting the runaround, America needs a turnaround, and the man for the job is Governor Mitt Romney,” the 42-year-old Wisconsin lawmaker declared in what amounted to a national debut. He spoke at a convention dogged by Tropical Storm Isaac, downgraded from a hurricane but still inflicting misery on millions along the nearby northern Gulf Coast.

“We will not duck the tough issues; we will lead,” Ryan said.

His speech was part attack on Obama, part spirited testimonial to Romney, all leavened by a loving tribute to Ryan’s own mother, seated across the hall in a VIP box. “To this day, my mom is a role model,” he said while she beamed and exchanged smiles with one of his children and delegates cheered.

As for Obama and the Democrats, he said they “have run out of ideas.

Their moment came and went. Fear and division is all they’ve got left.”

To the cheers of the delegates, he pledged Republicans would save Medicare from looming bankruptcy, despite constant accusations from Democrats that the GOP approach would shred the program that provides health care to more than 30 million seniors.

“Our nation needs this debate. We want this debate. We will win this debate,” Ryan declared. But

Romney, in a secondary role if only for a moment, accused Obama of backing “reckless defense cuts” amounting to $1 trillion.

Addressing the American Legion in Indianapolis, he said, ‘There are plenty of places to cut in a federal budget that now totals over $3 trillion. But defense is not one of them.”

In Tampa, the Romney team scripted an economy-and-veterans-themed program and kept a wary eye on Isaac. The storm remained a threat to levees in the New Orleans area almost exactly seven years after the calamitous Hurricane Katrina.

Inside the convention hall, delegates cheered a parade of party leaders past, present and — possibly — future.

Dwight, who lives in Boston and is chairwoman of Dwight Partners, a consulting firm, didn’t go to the convention in Tampa, Fla., but has attended GOP national gatherings as a staff member or delegate since 1980.

She knows Mitt and Ann Romney personally and finds it ironic that many people think of Mitt Romney as having a stiff personality.

2004, were featured in an evocative video. Arizona Sen. John McCain, the party’s 2008 nominee, spoke on his 76th birthday and said he wished he’d been there under different circumstances. And an array of ambitious younger elected officials preceded Ryan to the podium, Sens.

Rand Paul of Kentucky and John Thune of South Dakota among them.

Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice praised the Republican ticket in a speech that made no overt mention of Obama. “Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan will rebuild us at home and inspire us to lead abroad. They will provide an answer to the question, ‘Where does America stand?’”

Ryan said in excerpts released in advance that he was accepting “the calling of my generation to give our children the America that was given to us.”

He added, “The present administration has made its choices. And Mitt Rom-

“He is very funny; he is very loose,” she said. “The whole side of him caring for other people is absolutely real.”

Dwight gave Ann Romney’s speech on Tuesday a big thumbs-up.

“She has an inner core and strength that is almost unparalleled,” she said.

But Dwight said the next speech, given by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, may have missed the mark.

“The transition between Ann’s speech and his speech was so abrupt.

Plaquemines Parish ordered a mandatory evacuation for the west bank of the Mississippi below Belle Chasse because of worries about a storm surge. The order affected about 3,000 people, including a nursing home with 112 residents. In Jefferson Parish, the sheriff ordered a dusk-to-dawn curfew.

West of New Orleans in St. John the Baptist Parish, flooding from Isaac forced 1,500 people to evacuate.

And Gov. Bobby Jindal’s office said thousands in the area needed to evacuate. Rising water closed off all main thoroughfares into the parish, and in many areas, water lapped up against houses and left cars stranded.

After wind-driven water spilled over the levee in Plaquemines Parish, state officials said they would cut a hole in it as soon as weather allowed and equipment could be brought to the site.

ney and I have made ours: Before the math and the momentum overwhelm us all, we are going to solve this nation’s economic problems.

“And I’m going to level with you: We don’t have much time.”

As he spoke a pair of electronic boards tallied the nation’s growing national debt, approaching $16 trillion overall and more than $5 billion since the convention opened.

Ryan’s vice presidential acceptance speech marked a prime-time national debut by a relatively young lawmaker lauded by fellow Republicans for his understanding of the complexities of the nation’s budget.

Romney tapped Ryan this month as his running mate, a selection that cheered conservatives who have doubted the presidential candidate’s own commitment to their cause.

If Ryan’s selection was designed in part to appeal to conservatives, the convention was scripted to strengthen the ticket’s appeals among women, Hispanics and others who prefer Obama over the Republicans, as well as veterans who supported McCain in 2008.

Romney delivers his own nationally televised acceptance speech tonight in the final act of his own convention. The political attention then shifts to the Democrats, who open their own convention on Tuesday to nominate Obama and Vice President Joe Biden for a second term.

To put his style after hers, in hindsight, was probably a bad idea. It wasn’t his night. It was her night.

The message she was delivering was so powerful,” Dwight said.

Dwight and another Dole fellow, Steve Hildebrand, who served as Obama’s deputy national campaign manager in 2008, will be leading a weekly study group this fall at the Dole Institute on the ObamaRomney campaign.

WASHINGTON — At their convention, Republican leaders are taking the stage to push for less government and accuse President Barack Obama of profligate spending.

About 500 miles away, under threat from a hurricane, Republicans welcomed federal government aid and at least one GOP governor accused Obama of being miserly with the help.

The chance occurrence of a political convention and a Gulf State emergency unfolding in split-screen real time is creating a clash between rhetoric and reality. The calls for fiscal discipline echoing the convention hall in Tampa, Fla., aren’t reverberating in drenched and wind-whipped Louisiana or Mississippi.

The contrast illustrates one of the sharpest conundrums facing a nation of giant budget deficits. Reducing the size of government sounds good until someone feels the pinch.

Obama issued disaster declarations this week for Louisiana and Mississippi ahead of the now downgraded Tropical Storm Isaac, guaranteeing federal emergency aid in designated counties. And the federal government has deployed manpower and equipment, such as Air Force Reserve “Hurricane Hunters” to conduct aerial reconnaissance on the storm and Federal Emergency Management Agency teams to help with logistics and provide other assistance.

Officials had no estimate of how much had already been spent on the effort. Altogether, the government’s federal disaster fund has about $1.5 billion available.

In Tampa, the threat posed by Isaac was certainly not lost on conventioneers. The Republican Party delayed the gathering for a day because of the storm and from the dais speakers offered prayers for those in Isaac’s path and wished them Godspeed. But the government’s response to the storm and its expenditure of taxpayer dollars played out in sharp juxtaposition to the persistent calls for smaller government and criticism of Obama for presiding over an increase in the national debt.

“With $5 trillion in debt added over the last four years, we have no other option but to make the hard choices, cut federal spending and fundamentally reduce the size of government,” New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said.

Certainly no Republican suggested that the federal government had no role in helping states in an emergency. Indeed, GOP budget hawks often single out national security and public safety as essential government functions.

And as Obama declared emergencies in Louisiana

It’s important and it’s money well spent, not just for us locally but for national assets like the ports and oil and gas production.”

— Republican Sen. David Vitter of Louisiana

and Mississippi and federal agencies mobilized in the face of Isaac’s landfall, Gulf Coast states and their Republican officials welcomed government assistance. That’s in addition to billions spent by the federal government upgrading the levee system in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.

“It’s important and it’s money well spent, not just for us locally but for national assets like the ports and oil and gas production,” Republican Sen. David Vitter of Louisiana told the Los Angeles Times.

Louisiana’s Republican governor, Bobby Jindal, wanted even more from the federal government.

After Obama signed an emergency declaration for the state, Jindal said it fell short of the help he was requesting. Jindal said he wanted more Louisiana parishes covered and urged Obama to have the federal government reimburse state and local government agencies for storm preparation efforts.

Vitter on Wednesday weighed in with his own letter to Obama echoing Jindal’s request.

FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate said such requests would be addressed after the storm.

But Jindal stood by his demand. “We learned from past experiences, you can’t just wait,” he said.

“You’ve got to push the federal bureaucracy.”

Such aid might have been harder to come by had Romney’s running mate, U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan, had his way. Ryan, the chairman of the House budget committee, earlier this year tried to eliminate $10 billion a year in disaster spending. Instead, Ryan proposed that when emergencies arise, Congress pay for the disaster costs by cutting from elsewhere in the budget. Ryan lost after his own party leaders balked. But he had support from many tea party backed Republicans.

Assad acknowledges struggles in civil war Associated Press

BEIRUT — In a striking admission, President Bashar Assad said in an interview broadcast Wednesday that his armed forces will need time to defeat the rebels and addressed the string of defections from his authoritarian regime.

The comments amounted to an acknowledgment that even though the opposition lacks the government’s tanks and airplanes, their tenacity and tactical creativity — combined with the military’s struggle to fight on multiple fronts — have yielded a stalemate that could prolong the civil war with many more dead.

Over the past few months, Syria’s military has increasingly been stretched thin fighting on multiple fronts against rebels seeking to oust Assad. His forces have

been unable to quell the rebellion as it spread to the capital, Damascus, with significant clashes that began in July and to Syria’s largest city, Aleppo, a few weeks later. At the same time, the military is fighting smaller scale battles in a string of other cities and towns around the country.

With neither side making significant advances, the conflict is looking more like a war of attrition that could be very drawn out.

“We are fighting a regional and global war, so time is needed to win it,” Assad said in an interview with the pro-regime private TV station Dunya.

“We are moving forward.

The situation is practically better but it has not been decided yet. That takes time,” he told the station, which is majority owned by Rami Makhlouf, a cousin of Assad and one of Syria’s wealthiest men.

“If the armed forces

wanted to use the entire range of its firepower, it can wipe out many areas.

But this will be unacceptable,” said Assad.

Assad also appeared to make light of the significant number of defections, some of them senior military and political officials, including the prime minister.

“Defections are a positive process. Generally, it is self-cleansing of the state and the nation,” said Assad.

“If there is a Syrian citizen who knows of someone who wishes to flee but is hesitant to do so he should encourage him,” he said with a smile. “Whoever flees is either weak or bad.

A patriotic or a good person does not flee.”

Assad claimed there were cases when authorities knew in advance of officials who wanted to flee and allowed them to do so unhindered. But he did not provide any specifics to back up the claim.

Book contradicts officials’ account of bin Laden raid

By Kimberly Dozier Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A Navy SEAL’s firsthand account of the raid that killed Osama bin Laden pulls back the veil on the secret operations conducted almost nightly by elite American forces against terrorist suspects.

Former SEAL Matt Bissonnette’s account contradicted in key details the account of the raid presented by administration officials in the days after the May 2011 raid in Abbotabad, bin Laden Pakistan, that killed the al-Qaida leader, and raised questions about whether the SEALs followed to the letter the order to only use deadly force if they deemed him a threat.

Bissonnette wrote that the SEALs spotted bin Laden at the top of a darkened hallway and shot him in the head even though they could not tell whether he was armed.

Administration officials have described the SEALs shooting bin Laden only after he ducked back into a bedroom because they assumed he might be reaching for a weapon.

Military experts said Wednesday that if Bissonnette’s recollection is accurate, the SEALS made the right call to open fire on the terrorist mastermind who had plenty of time to reach for a weapon or explosives as they made their

way up to the third level of the house where he hid.

Bissonnette wrote the book, “No Easy Day,” under the pseudonym Mark Owen as one of the men in the room when they killed bin Laden. The book is to be published next week by Penguin Group (USA)’s Dutton imprint. The Associated Press purchased a copy Tuesday.

For years, the primary weapon in the war on terror has been unmanned drones firing missiles from the sky. But the Bissonnette book reveals a more bloody war waged by special operators, one the public almost never gets to see close up.

The book offers intimate details of a special operations mission. The most memorable scenes are also the most human moments.

Bissonnette describes one of the SEALs dressing the wounds of a woman who was shot when she lunged toward the SEALs. In another scene, a terrified mother clutches her child and a young girl identifies the dead man as Osama bin Laden, seemingly unaware of the significance of those words.

In that regard, the bin Laden raid seems destined to become an anachronism.

Nearly every top al-Qaida figure killed by the United States since the 9/11 attacks has died in a remote-controlled strike by unmanned drone aircraft — their deaths seen back in Washington via high-definition video. An estimated 80 top terrorist leaders have been killed in places like Pakistan and Yemen, according to The Long War Journal.

com, which tracks such airborne strikes.

Special operations troops often conduct raids similar to the bin Laden strike a dozen times a night in Afghanistan, and previously in Iraq, killing thousands of mostly mid- and lower-level terrorists. It’s all part of a war on terror that is winding down and giving way to the drone war outside traditional war zones, given the scheduled drawdown of most U.S. troops in Afghanistan by the end of 2014.

“No Easy Day” shows how routine such operations have become. But the public rarely hears about them unless the target is as historic as bin Laden.

National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor late Tuesday would not comment on the apparent contradiction between the administration’s account and the book’s version.

Bissonnette writes that during a pre-raid briefing, an administration lawyer told them that they were not on an assassination mission. According to Bissonnette, the lawyer said if bin Laden did not pose a threat, they should detain him.

“If they didn’t feel like there was a threat, they would have captured him,” co-author Kevin Maurer told the AP on Wednesday.

“But from when they first hit the ground, all the way until they got to the third deck, they had encountered armed men, which made the use of force essential,” said Maurer, a former AP reporter.

Storm causes higher gas prices, south and north

By Jonathan Fahey Associated Press

NEW YORK — Drivers are being hit with the biggest one-day jump in gasoline prices in 18 months just as the last heavy driving weekend of the summer approaches.

As Hurricane Isaac swamps the nation’s oil and gas hub along the Gulf Coast, it’s delivering sharply higher pump prices to storm-battered residents of Louisiana and Mississippi — and also to unsuspecting drivers up north in Illinois, Indiana and Ohio.

The national average price of a gallon of gas jumped almost five cents Wednesday to $3.80, the highest ever for this date. Prices are expected to continue to climb through Labor Day weekend, the end of the summer driving season.

“The national average will keep ticking higher, and it’s going to be noticeable,” says Patrick DeHaan, senior petroleum analyst at Gasbuddy.com The wide storm shut down several refineries along the Gulf Coast, and others are operating at reduced rates. In all, about 1.3 million barrels per day of refining capacity is affected.

So, it’s no surprise that driv-

DILBERT

ers in Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi and Florida saw gas prices rise by a dime or more in the past week.

But some states in the Midwest are suffering even more dramatic spikes. Ohio prices jumped 14 cents, Indiana prices soared 13 cents and Illinois prices jumped 10 cents on Wednesday alone according to the Oil Price Information Service.

Days before Isaac is expected to douse those states with rain, the storm forced the shutdown of a pipeline that serves a number of Midwest refineries.

The price surge is happening at the wrong time and the wrong place for Dickson Stewart, a 56-yearold electronics consultant, who is driving from Minneapolis to Savannah, Ga. this week. He stopped at a BP station in downtown Chicago Tuesday — home to some of the highest retail prices in the country — and paid $4.49 a gallon to fill up his Jeep Wrangler.

Stewart expects gas prices to fall after Labor Day. Analysts say he’s probably right.

As Isaac fades away, the summer driving season ends, and refiners switch to cheaper winter blends of gasoline, station owners should start dropping prices.

Enforcement overstep?

Lance Armstrong’s decision not to “cooperate” by admitting guilt makes the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency look like a petulant loser.

T

here’s something that doesn’t seem to fit concerning statements from the head of the U.S. AntiDoping Agency about the Lance Armstrong case.

The agency, you’ll recall, ordered a lifetime ban for the renowned and highly admired cyclist, and stripped him (or so it believes) of all his cycling titles, including seven wins in the fabled Tour de France.

Travis Tygart, who heads the USADA, says Armstrong might have retained some of his titles if he had cooperated with the agency. “Cooperate” translates into admitting he used banned drugs and blood transfusions to gain a competitive advantage.

Why would Armstrong, who famously has never failed a drug test in his career and who denies having used banned drugs, turn on himself in order to salvage some titles and assuage the anti-doping agency? Why, in effect, plead guilty if you maintain that you’re not?

Recent polls show that most Americans have not changed their opinion about the cyclist, who is known as a cancer survivor and established a foundation that has benefited cancer research.

Perhaps the excesses of recent “doping” prosecutions of other high-profile athletes have painted a picture of over-zealous accusers. Or perhaps the public isn’t ready to accept as “proof” accusations by fellow cyclists who are perceived as trying to save themselves by targeting Armstrong.

At any rate, it’s disconcerting to see Tygart quoted as saying that Armstrong’s penalty is more severe because he continues to maintain his innocence, especially while the USADA acknowledges that the statute of limitations for its accusations is eight years and that most of Armstrong’s Tour de France titles are outside that time frame.

It would seem that Armstrong deserved a better fate, and that the USADA comes across as a petulant loser itself because Armstrong ultimately refused to fight it.

Is U.S. greatness only a memory?

Once upon a time, a man walked on the moon.

He climbed down the ladder onto lunar soil, the first human being ever to do so.

“That’s one for small step for (a) man,” he famously said, “one giant leap for mankind.”

It was one of history’s greatest feats and we had done it, we Americans.

That man died Saturday of complications from a cardiovascular procedure. Neil Armstrong, a Korean War fighter pilot from small town Ohio, was 82.

He never spoke much about what he had done, shied away from publicity, never even wrote a memoir. In a confessional nation where fame is an end unto itself, that made him something of an anomaly.

But Armstrong adhered to an older American model of competence and taciturnity that required a man, whether astronaut, cop or farmer, to simply do his job and shut up about it.

You have to respect that.

At the same time, one wishes Armstrong had found a way to overcome his natural reserve and speak more often about the great thing he did — not so much for his benefit, but for ours. His achievement offers America a reminder of itself..

One day, once upon a time,

The argument here is not about moon bases. It is about everything. It is about who we are now. And what we stand for.

And what we hope to achieve and why.” we all looked up. Los Angeles looked up, Miami looked up.

Hoboken and Duluth looked up. Beijing, Moscow, Havana, London, Brisbane, Cairo, Krakow, Tehran, Tangiers, Paris, Madrid, Johannesburg . . . the world looked up from its daily doings. We all stared up at the familiar old moon where men, people who looked like us, were walking around. And for that brief moment we were united in possibility and in wonder.

This is what America achieved, once upon a time, and who could have been surprised that we did? Once

upon a time, this was a nation that met challenges and pushed back frontiers. We had re-routed rivers and stitched a railroad across the heart of a continent, linked two oceans and rebuilt Europe, faced down evil and, from Berlin to Birmingham, championed the right of human beings to be free.

Now we had outdone ourselves. Now we had sent men to the moon.

But that was once upon a time. Forty-three years later, we still face challenges — schools are failing, the planet is sick, towns are dying, our justice system is not just, we are dependent for energy on those who hate us — but our confidence in our ability to meet those challenges seems shrunken. We have traded the inspirational for the ideological and learned to lower our expectations. Big ideas are unwelcome. We call it pragmatism. It feels like surrender.

America hasn’t sent a human being to the moon — or any other planet — since 1972. And when Newt Gingrich suggested earlier this year that America should build a colony on the moon, everybody laughed.

Granted, that’s because it was Newt Gingrich who said it. Even so, the reflexive laughter raises an obvious question:

What’s wrong with a moon base?

Yes, some will call it frivolous given the difficulties America faces. But we first landed on the moon in the 1960s, hardly an era of tranquility. And yes, too, we were driven to that in large part by Cold War paranoia.

But we were also driven by the confidence that came of being who we were and believing we could achieve any goal we could conceive. Now we raise foam fingers and chant, “We’re Number One!” It is not the same.

The argument here is not about moon bases. It is about everything. It is about who we are now. And what we stand for. And what we hope to achieve and why.

Greatness is our heritage, but heritage is another word for past. The legacy of the quiet hero who left us this week is that Americans do not settle for heritage. They push back frontiers. They take small steps and giant leaps.

That is who we have always been.

And that went without saying, once upon a time.

Cyclist support To the editor: I was saddened by Lance Armstrong’s decision last week to give up his fight against the allegations of the U.S. AntiDoping Agency. However, I can understand Armstrong’s enough-is-enough rationale for throwing in the towel. It certainly appears that the USADA‘s campaign against Lance was a never-toend personal vendetta.

In remarks last week, Travis Tygart, CEO of USADA, expressed feigned regret regarding Armstrong’s fall from grace, and characterized USADA’s campaign as a needed response to the “win-at-all-costs” culture of sport. I suggest that Tygart take a close look in the mirror if he wants to see someone practicing a scorched-earth, win-at-allcosts approach.

I know from direct family experience that Lance was an inspiration to many of those afflicted with cancer. And, his rise from a near-death sentence to dominance of the world’s most physically demanding sporting event was a beacon of hopefulness for cancer victims. So, Javert, I mean Mr. Tygart, you’ll have to live with your actions, as of course does Lance. For me, I’m siding with Lance.

James Skridulis, Lawrence

Concerned citizen To the editor: The recent report of a congressman from Kansas skinny-dipping in the Sea of Galilee gave me a high degree of consternation or, as a dictionary defines it, “a state of paralyzing dismay.”

How can we as good citizens deal with such news? Do we accept it as a stupid act because we all do stupid things sometimes in our lives even though we are not representing our state in our nation’s capitol or our United States in foreign lands?

Are we to believe congresspeople can

vote objectively on legislation related to that foreign land when they have given their ear to its leaders and have been wined and dined at posh hotels costing $1,000 per night and entertained at extravagant dinners? Are we to believe an apology that says they drank wine with dinner but alcohol was not a factor or that it was done because others in their group were doing it? Would the Kansas congressman jump off a cliff or vote “no” on important legislation just because others were doing it?

Does this incident show that these people when campaigning for office, promote themselves, leading us to believe they can walk on water, simply cannot? So what are good citizens to do? I want to know before I go back and bury my head until this incident blows over!

Sally Van Tassel, Lawrence

Valuing history To the editor: This is with reference to the recent article in Go! about the Wakarusa Valley museum. It will be a source of information especially to anyone with connection to the area before it was submerged by Clinton Lake.

I found, however, that generalizations are seldom accurate. Martha Parker says, regarding lost family history, that, “These people were farmers. They weren’t interested in preserving their heritage.” In my own life, I’m not aware that farmers don’t care about family history. I am from a long line of family farmers and I have tangible and written artifacts from ancestors who wanted to preserve a record of their lives and times.

My maternal grandmother wrote details of her own life and also an account of life on the frontier here in Kansas and the progress of our state and of Washington County as it was in the 1870s and later. I also have my great-grandfather’s school slate with his initials carved on the frame.

Later he migrated to Kansas from eastern

Missouri and became a successful farmer.

The house he built still stands, about 130 years later, and occasionally, we cousins make our own sentimental journey back to stand in the yard and try to imagine life in an earlier time.

I know I’m fortunate to be part of a family who valued their history. If anything, maybe farmers have had more of a sense of being part of something larger than their own lives. Living close to the soil may create in them that awareness. I think it has for me.

Marjorie Kincaid, Lawrence

Petition out of line To the editor: The River Bend Court area’s recent petition to annex 1742 E. 1350 Road was inappropriate. I’m concerned because annexation is not for personal agendas. This was just an intimidation tactic to force their neighbor to stop target shooting.

I understand the concern for safety. I also understand the right to shoot. The two are NOT mutually exclusive.

Why didn’t they talk to their neighbor first? This was the perfect opportunity to teach firearm safety and get to know someone. Instead, this neighborhood chose to exercise mob rule, where a group removes another’s rights in order to force conformity. What makes people think they can do this and not have it done to them?

I’m sure residents wouldn’t like it if someone tried to have their property rezoned to prohibit children or called the police to stop them using fireworks, which are no less dangerous. If they wouldn’t like this done to them, then they shouldn’t be doing this to others!

If investigation disclosed unresolvable safety issues, then that was a matter for the sheriff. This petition was completely out of line.

KANSAS FOOTBALL

Getting defensive KU defense out to prove it’s improved

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

By now, the veterans on the Kansas University defense have heard just how bad the Jayhawks’ defense was during the past two seasons more times than they would care to remember.

With a new season — and, really, a second chance — just two days away, the gameplan for each of the guys who endured the rough times is simple.

“We definitely have something to prove,” said senior safety Bradley McDougald.

“Prove that we’re not actually the worst defense in the country. We’re going to start there.”

Whichever way you slice it, KU’s 2011 season was historically bad. That was particularly true on defense, where the Jayhawks ranked dead last in Div. I college football in total defense and surrendered 516 yards per game, 68 touchdowns and nearly 6,200 yards during a 2-10 season.

Crist not the only playmaker on Jayhawks’ offense It sometimes seems as if the moment a college football coach signs a contract to head a program he then moves to the next chair and has injected into his DNA a gene that makes him poormouth the talent he inherits.

That’s what made Kansas University coach Charlie Weis’ words echo Tuesday throughout George Mrkonic Auditorium when discussing the material with which Dayne Crist will work in his first and only season as KU’s quarterback.

“We’ve got some players around him who are pretty good,” Weis said. “It isn’t like he’s coming into an empty cupboard. Everyone likes to talk about, ‘Well, there aren’t enough players.’ Well, we maybe don’t have a ton

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

of them. But we have some, and the ones we have, they’re pretty good. So he’s going to have an opportunity to make some plays.”

The right side of the line remains an area of concern for Weis’ first of many Kansas offenses, but if Weis and offensive line coach Tim Grunhard can find a way to shift things around to mask the inexperience of that side

of the line and Crist has time to make his throws, Kansas could find itself in a number of shootouts, even if the defense can’t stop the high-scoring Big 12 offenses it will face nearly every week.

The most exciting playmakers on the offense: 1. Tony Pierson: James Sims, suspended for the first three games, brings the most versatility and durability, but it’s Pierson who will supply the most memorable plays among the KU running backs. He said he never has been caught from behind on a football field and doesn’t plan to start now. Pierson’s narrow build prevents him from having the durability to play every down and excel in pass-blocking, but there

is an advantage to it as well.

He doesn’t need big holes through which to slither, and with feet so quick, the tacklers will have a tough time anticipating his moves.

2. Daymond Patterson: Injured for the season in last year’s opener, Patterson is something of a forgotten man, but Crist no doubt already has figured out that good things happen when Patterson has the ball in his hands. He’s fast, has great balance and deceptive strength. Coming off an injury and playing for yet another coach — that makes three since coming to Kansas — Patterson got off to a great start in impressing Weis, the team’s head coach/offensive coordinator/academic liaison by earning a 4.0 grade-point

Royals win on odd run as Chen tames Tigers KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — The Royals proved Wednesday night just how fickle baseball can be.

One night after roughing up Tigers ace Justin Verlander to win a stunning shootout, Kansas City saw crafty veteran Bruce Chen go eight innings in an equally surprising pitcher’s duel with Anibal Sanchez. Eric Hosmer’s shank single in the fourth scored the lone run in a 1-0 victory.

“That’s baseball. That’s why this game is so great,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “We won the game on an 80-foot bomb in the Bermuda triangle. That’s baseball.”

Indeed, Hosmer managed to get just enough of Sanchez’s pitch to drop the ball between the mound and second base, and that was enough to score Mike Moustakas from third base.

Greg Holland earned his ninth save with a shaky ninth inning, allowing a leadoff single to Andy Dirks. Jarrod Dyson likely saved the tying

run with a diving grab in center, and after Prince Fielder singled, Holland struck out Delmon Young and Jhonny Peralta to end the game.

The star of the game, though, unmistakably was Chen (10-10), who lasted eight innings for the first time since his last two starts of last season. The 35-yearold left-hander hadn’t even gone seven in his past 11 outings, though he had been pitching better of late.

Sanchez (2-4) matched him most of the night, finally looking like the guy the Tigers thought they were acquiring in a July trade with Florida. He allowed seven hits in seven innings.

average last spring. His 487 receiving yards led the team in 2010.

“For me I just like the ball in my hands and like to do something with it,” Patterson said. “I’m always messing around with my quarterbacks telling them, ‘In the paper you’re going to see a 70-yard touchdown, but the throw might not have been across the line. I can help you do that.’”

Patterson, the team’s best yards-after-catch receiver, said all the pass-catchers have developed “great chemistry” with Crist since his arrival in January and said the former Notre Dame QB throws a “very catchable ball.”

KANSAS CITY ROYALS STARTING PITCHER BRUCE CHEN THROWS during the seventh inning of a baseball game against the Detroit Tigers, Wednesday in Kansas City, Mo. Chen tossed eight innings and the Royals won, 1-0.

Playing so many sophomores two years ago is about to pay off for coach Dirk Wedd’s Lawrence High football team.

The Lions’ biggest strength on their depth chart entering Friday’s season opener against Shawnee Mission West is a core group of seniors with two seasons worth of varsity experience.

Leading that bunch is senior quarterback Brad Strauss, who threw for 1,555 yards and rushed for 754 more to gain All-Sunflower League first-team status in 2011. Protecting Strauss as starting linemen will be three seniors — left guard Jacob Warren, right guard Kharon Brown and right tackle Chris Gillespie — and juniors left tackle Alex Jones and center Kyle Wittman.

ONLINE Find out who’s vying for backup roles with Lawrence High’s and Free State’s football teams, on the high school sports blog, “The Dividing Line,” at LJWorld.com In the backfield, LHS has senior running back Tyrone Jenkins. Out wide, seniors Erick Mayo, Drake Hofer, Will Thompson and Josh Seybert lead the receiving corps.

Lawrence’s starting defensive line will be comprised of senior nose guard Cole Cummins, senior lineman Seybert and Brown, an all-league first-teamer as a junior.

At linebacker, LHS will have seniors Jordan Brown and Asaph Jewsome and juniors Drew Green and Kieran Severa at its disposal.

Ex-KU guard Doyle to transfer to Loyola

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Former Kansas University basketball guard Milton Doyle has decided to attend Loyola University of Chicago, Doyle’s mom, Lisa Green, reported on Wednesday night.

T h e 6-foot-4 freshman out of Chicago’s Marshall High, who a t t e n d e d Doyle summer school classes at KU then announced plans to transfer following the Jayhawks’ recent European tour, chose Loyola over Wisconsin-Green Bay. “I’m just happy to move forward,” Green told ESPN Chicago. “Just

In the secondary, free safety Strauss picked up first-team all-league defensive honors a year ago, and will be helped by corners Mayo and Thompson, as well as junior strong safety Tucker Sutter.

Members of the LHS secondary also will play a significant role on special teams, with Strauss punting and Severa kicking.

Mayo and Strauss will return punts and Hofer will join Mayo for kickoff return duties.

Firebirds confident in defensive rotation With Friday night’s season opener at Olathe Northwest getting closer by the minute, Free State High football coach Bob Lisher is starting to feel better about his team’s depth chart.

Though Lisher expects some fluctuation to come as the Firebirds search for the right combination of players during the first few weeks, the FSHS staff has to be confident in its defense, which returns eight players who either started last season or played half the snaps in a game.

On the defensive line, Free State will start senior

Defense CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

“The numbers don’t lie,” said junior linebacker Huldon Tharp. “And that’s why this first game is huge for us. If we’re gonna be a good defense in the Big 12, we have to come out and dominate the teams we’re supposed to dominate.”

To a man, the Jayhawks believe that’s possible.

Tharp was not the only defensive player who kicked around the word “dominate” this week, and others went as far as to say they believe KU’s 2012 defense could be among the nation’s best. Naturally, the players — and to a greater degree their coaches — want to see proof of that somewhere other than the practice field, but senior co-captain Toben Opurum said he did not think a huge opening week was

happy he still had the opportunities he had. We were just trying to make sure it was really, really something that was right for him. The No. 1 thing is it’s close to home. The name Loyola is of course a prestigious school in Chicago. He’s able to be at a good school, be close to home and do what he likes to do.”

Doyle initially committed to Florida International his senior year at Marshall — a year in which he averaged 19 points, seven rebounds and five assists per contest. He reopened his recruitment last April after coach Isiah Thomas was fired. He will enroll for fall semester classes at Loyola, but likely will have to sit out this season per NCAA transfer rules.

Loyola is coached by Illinois native Porter Moser, whose first Rambler

team went 7-23 overall a year ago.

Jones is ranked No. 73 nationally. He is considering KU, Duke, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Vanderbilt, LSU and others.

Cody Stanclift, an AllSunflower League firstteamer last year, and junior Fred Wyatt as ends, and senior Riley Buller at nose tackle.

The Firebirds have a long list of starting linebackers: juniors Stan Skwarlo, Keith Loneker and Blake Winslow, and seniors Corban Schmidt and Tye Hughes.

Free State boasts a strong secondary, with seniors Kyle McFarland, first-team All-Sunflower League in 2011, and Demarko Bobo manning the corners and junior Joe Dineen at free safety.

Offensively, starting center junior Reid Buckingham will have guard Buller and tackle Wyatt to his left, with guard Stanclift and senior tackle Derick Davis to his right.

Behind Free State’s Oline, McFarland returns at quarterback and senior TJ Cobbs leads a committee of running backs.

Junior tight end Zack Bickling and senior receivers Chris Heller, Sam Hearnen, and Hughes enter the season as the team’s top passing targets.

Starters on special teams are less clear, but Bobo and McFarland are punters, Winslow, sophomore Tripp Wright and senior Antonio Schoneich can kick, and Hughes, Dineen and Bobo will return punts and kickoffs.

Royals CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

The Tigers came to town hoping to make up ground on the AL Central-leading White Sox, but the thirdplace Royals have gotten the most of them so far.

Kansas City battered Verlander, the reigning AL MVP and Cy Young Award winner, in the opener Tuesday night, scoring eight earned runs in 5 2/3 innings for a 9-8 victory.

They did it with pitching and defense Wednesday, getting Chen’s best start of the year and turning a pair of inning-ending double plays to help him out.

4. Andrew Turzilli: A third-year sophomore from Butler, N.J., Turzilli caught three passes and a touchdown against Georgia Tech last season, but never worked his way onto the depth chart. He

showed in training camp that he has the potential to turn Crist’s strong arm into six points.

5. D.J. Beshears: He’s not as shifty as Patterson after catching the ball, but he has a knack for getting behind the defense and, for a guy his size, does an exceptional job of reaching out to grab long tosses.

required to put to bed the bad memories from the past two years.

“I believe we’re past it,” Opurum said. “The confidence on this team is kind of unreal, to be honest.

You would think we’re coming off a championship-level season.”

Added junior cornerback Tyler Patmon: “It’s embarrassing, but, at the same time, it’s motivating because, in our minds, we feel like we’re not even close to the worst (defense) in football, and we want to send that message in this first game.”

The way they can do that is simple, according to Tharp.

“Keep their yardage down, three-and-outs, turnovers,” he said. “When it comes down to it, if our offense isn’t playing well, our defense should be able to keep us in the game. That’s what good defenses do.”

The Jayhawks know that because, at times, as

rare as it might have been, they’ve seen it.

“We showed up,” McDougald said. “We made great plays. We made three-and-outs against the best. But then we gave up the worst plays at the worst times.”

While KU’s defensive leaders say the entire team is locked in on its new goals, the other common belief among them is that Saturday’s 6:06 p.m. kickoff against South Dakota State cannot get here fast enough. It’s time for sacks, interceptions and the scoreboard to stand in for sound-bites.

“Media make statements,” KU coach Charlie Weis said. “We just worry about trying to win games. ... I’m really excited for our team, to see how they’re going to play, more than anything else. We’ve been talking about this stuff forever, and it’s time to play and get an opportunity to see where we are.”

KIM CLIJSTERS RETURNS A SHOT against Laura Robson during her second-round loss at the U.S. Open on Wednesday in New York.

Clijsters bids farewell after loss at U.S. Open NEW YORK (AP) — Kim Clijsters’ singles career ended where she wanted it to, just not the way she hoped.

The four-time Grand Slam champion lost, 7-6 (4), 7-6 (5), to 18-year-old Laura Robson of Britain in the second round of the U.S. Open on Wednesday, and will head into retirement after she finishes playing in doubles at Flushing Meadows.

Clijsters walked away from the sport once before, in May 2007, then returned after a 2 1/2-year hiatus. But now 29 and a mother, the Belgian insisted this season that she means it this time, and decided the U.S. Open — and its hard courts that she conquered on the way to three championships — would be her final tournament.

“It’s the place that has inspired me so much to do well and to do great things. It’s hard to explain sometimes why,” Clijsters said in an on-court interview, her face flushed and her eyes welling with tears.

“This completely feels like the perfect place to retire,” Clijsters told the spectators at Arthur Ashe Stadium, many of whom rose to shower her with a standing ovation. “I just wish it wasn’t today.”

The loss Wednesday ended Clijsters’ 22-match

winning streak in New York, encompassing titles in 2005, 2009 and 2010, plus Monday’s first-round victory.

Clijsters finished with a career singles record of 523-127 (a winning percentage of .805) and 41 titles, including her last major trophy at the 2011 Australian Open. She spent a total of 20 weeks ranked No. 1, as recently as February 2011.

Joining Robson with a surprise victory was American wild-card entry Mallory Burdette, the NCAA runner-up who reached the third round in her Grand Slam debut by eliminating 69th-ranked Lucie Hradecka 6-2, 6-4.

Until recently, Burdette planned to take premed courses as a senior at Stanford in pursuit of a career in psychiatry.

“It’s been a crazy ride,” the 252nd-ranked Burdette said.

Could get even wilder: She next faces four-time major champion Maria Sharapova, a 6-0, 6-1 winner Wednesday night over 78th-ranked Lourdes Dominguez Lino of Spain.

Earlier on Ashe, the highest-ranked American man, John Isner, let out a big exhale of relief while waving to the crowd after getting past an argumentative Xavier Malisse 6-3, 7-6 (5), 5-7, 7-6 (9) in the first round.

Dear Annie: My wife and I are in the final stages of a divorce after 25 years of marriage.

We have two wonderful teenagers. We both realize that we had a part in the breakdown of the marriage, and we are trying to keep the process as friendly as such things can be.

Shortly after my wife moved out, I met a wonderful lady with whom I have much in common.

Once the divorce is final, I would like to ask her to marry me. Is that fair? I don’t want my soon-tobe-ex to think that she meant nothing to me and is being traded in. I also don’t want my new ladylove to think I’m simply replacing one wife with another. I don’t mind living alone. It actually has been quite peaceful.

The biggest worry is the kids. I think my son would understand, but my 13-year-old daughter will be a different story.

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell anniesmailbox@comcast.net

I guess the real question is: Should I let my concerns for other people get in the way of my own happiness? — Ready To Move On Dear Ready: Your main focus right now should be your kids’ adjustment, not your personal contentment.

You are rushing things.

They are teenagers. The parents they love are divorcing, and this is enough trauma in their lives for the moment.

Please don’t make things more stressful by remarrying so quickly. Let the

A look ahead at Thursdays A night dominated by convention coverage seems as good a time as any to glance ahead to the upcoming season, and to ways that the network’s Thursday night will be changing. And staying the same.

CBS, the most popular among the networks, tampers only slightly with its lineup. Last year’s reboot of “Two and a Half Men” (7:30 p.m.) moves to Thursdays permanently. “The Big Bang Theory” (7 p.m.) and “Person of Interest” (8 p.m.) stay where they are, and “The Mentalist” moves to Sundays. It’s to be replaced by the new series “Elementary” (9 p.m.), a 21st-century update of Sherlock Holmes, starring Jonny Lee Miller as the detective and Lucy Liu as Dr. Watson.

N B C ’ s Thursday night offers at least two of its comedies a valedictory victory lap — or victory limp, given their declining ratings. “The Office” (8 p.m.) and “30 Rock” (7 p.m.) enter their final seasons.

They’ll share the schedule with “Parks and Recreation” (8:30 p.m.), which, like “30 Rock,” has enjoyed increasing critical respect as it has evolved. Thursdays also include “Up All Night” (7:30 p.m.), starring Will Arnett, who is married to “Parks” star Amy Poehler. The largely unwatched “Rock Center With Brian Williams” (9 p.m.) will return.

Fox is counting on singing talent, real and scripted, to carry the night. Look for “The X Factor” (7 p.m.) in the fall and “American Idol” (7 p.m.) in the spring.

“Glee” (8 p.m.) follows with its first season since the original gang graduated from William McKinley High.

The CW promises to keep its Thursdays supernatural with the return of “The Vampire Diaries” (7 p.m.), followed by the new adaptation of “Beauty and the Beast” (8 p.m.).

ABC will take the biggest gamble of the night with “Last Resort” (7 p.m.), an adventure fantasy written by Shawn Ryan (“The Shield”) about the crew of a super-secret submarine, branded as an enemy of the state after refusing to carry out a nuclear strike. The crew members take refuge on an exotic island while trying to clear their names.

Standby “Grey’s Anatomy” (8 p.m.) follows, while “Scandal” (9 p.m.) was picked up after a brief run last spring. Both shows were created by Shonda Rhimes.

Coverage of the Republican National Convention (6 p.m., CNN, Current; 7 p.m., PBS, Fox News, MSNBC, Bloomberg; 8:30 p.m., BET; and 9 p.m., ABC, CBS and NBC) continues. Tonight’s highlights include nominee Mitt Romney’s acceptance speech.

dust from the divorce settle, and then slowly introduce the new woman into your children’s lives and let them get to know her. They may still object, but they will have less reason if they don’t feel she is being shoved down their throats. We think all of you could benefit from speaking to a family therapist.

Dear Annie: Lately, I have been getting constant putdowns for my “new” appearance. It consists of clothes that I’ve owned for a while, though nobody seemed to notice until I began applying black eyeliner. My sister has been pestering me for months, complaining that I look Goth. I have begun using makeup more often, though it’s usually only eyeliner or silver eye shadow.

A few days ago, I was sent to the school office to receive papers for a special event for high-honor students. While I was

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Thursday, Aug. 30: You alternate between being coldly rational and practical to being delightfully expressive and fun. Can you understand why some of your close friends could be confused? If you are single, you could attract someone who responds to only one side of your personality. If you are attached, your sweetie could be highly responsive to your ability to greet change with ease.

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) Your friendship defines a relationship, especially as the other party initially is not as enthusiastic as you are. A tendency of yours to go overboard comes out. Tonight: Not to be found.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Understand your role, which could change rapidly during the day. An associate finally opens up because of your efforts. Tonight: Start the weekend early.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) You have an opportunity to break a pattern and head in a different direction. You might not want to share all the possibilities that come forward. Tonight: Be a statesman of sorts.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Deal with a key person or friend in your life directly. Your sensitivity comes out in the way you respond to someone’s offer. Tonight: Let your imagination drift with music.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You know when to defer to others. Such an occasion emerges today. Tonight: With that favorite person.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might be more easygo-

jacquelinebigar.com

ing than in the past. Still, you need to adapt, not only to a changing financial situation, but also to a transformation involving a friend or loved one.

Tonight: Go with a different choice.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might wonder why you are heading in a direction that has a dead end. Perhaps it is the process you enjoy more than the end results. Tonight: Squeeze in some exercise.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Pressure builds from the morning into the afternoon. You might feel as if you cannot handle what is on your plate until you get a wonderful idea for a solution. Tonight: Incorporate new information.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might want to continue an irritating conversation to fully understand where someone is coming from. You could be overtired or dragged down by your own thoughts.

Tonight: Happy to go home.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Handle financial matters early in the day. You could be subject to drifting thoughts in the afternoon, though there might be a great idea embedded in those daydreams.

Tonight: Take a relaxing walk.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Use the morning to the max, when you are at your prime.

Communication among friends or associates reveals some nuggets of information you will want to hear.

Tonight: Your treat.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) As the day goes on, you feel better and better. Use the morning for quieter activities, like doing research or reading the paper.

Tonight: Do absolutely what you want.
