Coal-burning plant supporters tout project as option; environmentalists raise health concerns

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — An official with a Colorado group that will receive most of the electricity from the proposed coal-burning power plant in southwest Kansas, said Friday that the project remains an “option.”

The comment from Lee Boughey, a spokesman for Tri-State Generation and Transmission Co., was made

after the Kansas Supreme Court heard arguments from attorneys over whether the state-issued construction permit for the 895-megawatt unit should be dissolved.

“This continues to be one of a number of long-term options to meet our members’ power needs,” Boughey said, referring to the plant that is proposed to be built near Holcomb. Three-quarters of the plant’s capacity would serve the power needs of

customers in Colorado.

But environmentalists are challenging the permit.

Amanda Goodin, representing the Sierra Club, told the court that the permit failed to provide adequate protections against air pollution, specifically nitrogen oxide and sulfur oxide. She said the plant’s emissions would lead to “serious health consequences” for Kansans.

She said the standard allowed under the permit for

mercury was “100 percent weaker” than current rules from the Environmental Protection Agency.

Goodin urged the court to vacate the permit and order the Kansas Department of Health and Environment to restart the permitting process.

James Holmes, the man accused of shooting and killing 12 people and injuring 58 others in an Aurora, Colo., movie theater in July, applied to graduate school at Kansas University before being accepted to a neuroscience program at the University of Colorado, Denver, according to records obtained by the Des Moines Register.

The records released by the University of Iowa, show that Holmes applied to five other graduate schools besides Iowa: KU, Texas A&M University, the University of Michigan, the University of Alabama and the University of Colorado.

A University of Iowa spokesman told the Register that even though stuKANSAS dent records are protected by federal law, the univer- UNIVERSITY sity was able to release Holmes’ records because he was never admitted as a student.

A professor at the University of Iowa emphatically recommended against Holmes’ admission to the program, the documents show.

“Do NOT offer admission under any circumstances,” wrote the professor, Daniel Tranel.

The Journal-World filed an open records request on Friday seeking access to the records pertaining to Holmes’ admission application to KU. Jill Jess, a university spokeswoman, said late Friday that Holmes did apply to KU but withdrew his application before the interview process.

The university was still processing the request for additional information on the graduate school application, she said.

WICHITA — The Kansas Supreme Court reinstated on Friday a jury verdict that said residents of Neodesha are not entitled to recover cleanup costs from BP Corp. caused by a refinery that closed 42 years ago, a ruling that sided with Big Oil. The high court said the judge made a mistake when he overturned the jury’s decision following one of the longest jury trials — COURTS 17 weeks — held in Kansas. The judge had set aside the verdict after concluding he had given jurors improper instructions, saying jurors should only have been instructed to determine damages.

In 2008, Allen County District Judge Daniel Creitz said that strict liability for the contamination was not a question of fact for the jury to decide but a question of law — and that Neodesha, located in rural southeastern Kansas, was entitled to judgment in its favor. He ordered a new trial only on the issue of damages, and BP appealed.

In its 34-page ruling, the Supreme Court said Friday that BP was correct in arguing that there were disputed facts that jurors had to decide, such as whether BP had done enough to clean up the pollution.

“Given the allegations as framed and the existence of disputed facts, we hold that the jury’s verdict should not have been disturbed,” the court wrote.

Experts found groundwater pollution under 350 acres of land — including almost 70 percent of the town and land underneath City Hall, hundreds of homes and the community’s schools. The lawsuit contended the operation

Tri-Star said the permit was proper and the project would meet all environmental standards. As projected, the plant would provide the peak energy needs for nearly a halfmillion people.

Steve Fabert, an assistant attorney general representing KDHE, said the permit should have been approved in 2007, but then-KDHE Secretary Rod Bremby “invoked the specter of global warming problems” in rejecting a permit for two 700-megawatt coal-burning electric plants.

Bremby’s decision caused political shock waves throughout Kansas and the nation.

Bremby had cited the effects of the project’s carbon dioxide emissions on health and climate change.

The Legislature tried to override Bremby’s decision but each time was thwarted by vetoes by then-Gov. Kathleen Sebelius.

When Sebelius became secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, her successor Mark Parkinson almost immediately crafted a deal with Sunflower Electric Power Corp. to bless the project.

In November 2010, Bremby was removed after refusing to resign as head of the KDHE to coordinate the cabinet transition from Parkinson’s administration to that

of the oil refinery and associated labs and storage facilities generated a variety of poisonous wastes and metals.

Neodesha city manager Allen Dinkel declined comment on the Supreme Court opinion, saying their attorney was reviewing it.

Rochelle Chronister, a Neodesha resident and former state legislator who attended most of the trial, wrote in an email, “Looks like we lost big time!”

But BP said it was pleased the court’s decision, saying the jury had carefully reviewed the facts and reached “the proper verdict” in BP’s favor. The verdict reflected the findings of an independent government study that confirmed the contamination from the former Amoco refinery poses no apparent public health hazard, according to an emailed statement.

“Our goals for the project remain the same, no harm to people or the environment, and the completion of the clean-up of the site, which has already been returned to productive use,” BP said.

The original lawsuit was filed in 2004 on behalf of the 2,700 residents, as well as government entities and businesses. The lawsuit claimed the corporation lied when it told the community it knew where the contamination was located, when it said the contamination was stable, and when it told residents there was no risk.

Plaintiffs had sought nearly $478 million for cleanup costs and damages as well as punitive damages.

The refinery operated from 1897 until it was dismantled in 1970 and the property was donated to the city. It had been owned and operated by Standard Oil Co., and its corporate successors.

of incoming Gov. Sam Brownback. Bremby said he was willing to help with the transition but didn’t want to leave office to do so.

After Bremby’s departure, his replacement, John Mitchell, approved a permit for a proposed 895-megawatt coal-burning power plant, just before new federal regulations on greenhouse gases went into effect.

Environmentalists have alleged there was improper political pressure put on regulators to approve the permit. But Fabert told the Kansas Supreme Court on Friday, “There is no merit to that issue.”

The justices asked numerous questions during the nearly one-hour hearing and took the case under advisement.

The court didn’t indicate when it would issue a decision.

James Oliver, an attorney representing TriState, said the Sierra Club failed to show how the permit had caused any harm, since the plant hasn’t been built yet. “A lot of this is total speculation,” he said.

But Justice Lee Johnson asked, “Doesn’t it seem counter-intuitive that you don’t get your day in court until you can prove you can win in court?”

The project also has been in federal court where a judge has delayed it until an environmental impact statement is completed.

Lawrence man jailed in molestation case A 24-year-old Lawrence man who allegedly molested a 13-year-old Tonganoxie girl in a Tonganoxie park is in Leavenworth County Jail.

Police arrested the man Friday at his Lawrence home on a charge of attempted aggravated incident liberties with a child younger than 14.

Tonganoxie Police Chief Jeff Brandau said the arrest capped a six-week investigation by Tonganoxie and Lawrence police.

In July, the girl told Tonganoxie police she met the man through an online social site. She also alleges that he later asked to meet her in person at a city park, Brandau said. The girl told police the man attempted to molest her at Chieftain Park in Tonganoxie.

MULLINVILLE — The old, round barn was falling apart back in the 1940s when Norval Ralstin was growing up on a nearby farm.

“It’s always been standing out there pretty lonely,” said Ralstin, who grew up with the white barn always part of his landscape.

Today, there will be plenty of company both inside and outside the wooden walls of the architectural wonder, as the barn celebrates its first 100 years.

As a boy, Ralstin remembered people wondering why the old barn was round. There was a barn on every farmstead in Kiowa County, he said. But they were all the standard shape.

Round barns were another story.

“Everybody talked about it,” Ralstin said. “It was built round to resist the wind.

Plus they could open it up and there would always be a breeze, not matter what direction the wind was blowing.”

The man allegedly approached the victim Thursday and grabbed her purse. The woman resisted and began screaming. Police spokesman Lt. Doug Nolte says the woman hung onto the purse even after being knocked down. A bystander got the robber in a bear hug, but the assailant bit the man’s hand and pulled away.

SATURDAY COLUMN

Nation’s condition argues against Obama re-election

By Dolph C. Simons Jr.

The Republican presidential nominating convention is over, and, within days, Democrats will be gathering for their convention to formally launch their effort to give President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden another four years to run the country.

Based on what has happened during the past three and a half years and the current economic situation in this country, there is reason to question why voters would want another four years of the Obama administration.

Republicans put together a well-planned, well-orchestrated four-day convention, but Mother Nature threw the planners a curve ball, and the overall show had to be redesigned and condensed into a tightly packed three-day program.

Those at the convention, as might be expected, gave the gathering good marks and, likewise, supposedly neutral observers said GOP strategists got their message across. However, one of the big questions or challenges for both Republican and Democratic officials is now many people are paying attention to what was said at the Tampa convention and what will be said at the upcoming Democratic show in Charlotte, N.C.

It is reported the number of people watching televised coverage of the conventions was down significantly. The major networks made severe cuts in their coverage with Fox News drawing the largest number of viewers. However, even Fox viewership was down compared with the number who watched the 2008 convention.

Does this mean a large share of the public already has made up its mind about who will get their vote on Nov. 6 no matter what the candidates may have said in Tampa or will say in Charlotte? Or have a growing number simply turned off “politics”?

Most of those reporting on the GOP show emphasized the extremely strong “bench strength” of the Republican Party, particularly the number of women who were superb in delivering their messages. The GOP has a number of young, able, articulate and highly successful officeholders who are ready to assume even more important state and national roles.

The Republican cupboard of potential major officeholders is well stocked.

Presidential nominee Mitt Romney faced a major challenge as many of his supporters, as well as his critics, stressed his presentation would be the most

important of his life. Aside from his most severe critics, most political pundits give Romney a good grade, perhaps a “B” but not a strong “A.” Nevertheless, Romney and the many supporting speakers got their message across:

The Obama administration has failed to measure up to most of the promises Obama made at the 2008 convention in Denver.

COMMENTARY

The country and its citizens are not better off today than in 2008.

The national debt is frightening and growing more dangerous day by day.

The jobless numbers are tragic and actually higher than the 8.3 percent figure reported when considering the many millions who have given up looking for a job or currently are underemployed.

And there is no evidence of strong, visionary leadership from the White House. The country is treading water, actually losing ground in most every measurement. This is why the upcoming election is so critical.

scene in Washington would not be good for the country.

Obama has not gotten the job done. He has failed and should be replaced. However, with approximately 50 percent of the public on some kind of federal assistance, he is going to get millions of voters. He and his aides are sure to use the fear game to scare voters and suggest they will lose all government goodies if they vote for Romney, whether or not this is true.

Consider the continued stalemate in Washington and damage to the country if Obama should win and also hold onto a slim majority in the Senate, while Republicans hold a strong majority in the House. Turn it around and have Romney winning the White House, holding onto the House but not getting control of the Senate.

Is this nation to be politically deadlocked after the Nov. 6 election, and, if so, what would it mean for this nation — four more years of drifting with the citizenry becoming more divided and Uncle Sam losing respect throughout the world?

Again, Obama has failed to deliver what he promised. Common sense suggests the odds for anything better in the next four years are slim.

This being the case, it seems

clear the best chance for this country to rebound is for Romney to win and for Republicans to pick up the few additional Senate seats they need for a majority in the Senate and hold their House majority. When Obama enjoyed control of both the Senate and House, he was unable to turn his words into actions. He is a great orator but unable to deliver on his grandsounding pledges.

It will be interesting to hear how the president will describe his record over the past three and a half years, his unfulfilled promises and why he should be given four more years. He is sure to claim Romney does not have the skills, experience or proper vision for this country, that he favors deadly cutbacks in federal assistance programs and that only the “rich” will get ahead with the middle class and poorer Americans being left in the ditch.

Romney faced a big challenge in drafting and delivering “the most important speech of his life.” Given the current state of affairs in the country, how will Obama confront his challenge of trying to convince the public he deserves four more years in the White House when he has failed to measure up and follow through on his 2008 pledges and commitments?

Q:

I see on the Lawrence High School and Free State High School calendars that the graduations are in the middle of the week. Is this correct?

A:

“Yes. On April 9, the Lawrence board of education approved a recommendation from both high schools to host 2013 graduation exercises on Tuesday, May 21, and Wednesday, May 22,” said Julie Boyle, Lawrence USD 497’s communications director. “The decision was made more than a year in advance of the events to give school families time to plan for the change.”

tall structure was built for Henry W. Fromme in 1912. The German immigrant wanted it to house his 28 draft horses and a box stall for his registered Percheron stallion which he imported from France.

Along with being windresistant, it was an efficient use of space — and it took less lumber to construct the 70-foot-diameter structure than an average barn, Ralstin said.

Back in 1912, the barn cost a hefty $8,000 to build.

“Today it would have cost about $190,000,” Ralstin said.

It’s always open, and visitors are free to wander around the barn and view the 14 trapezoidal stalls where the draft horses came in to eat and get harnessed for work. Feed would come from a granary in the center of the barn.

When visitors climb up into the hayloft, the fine craftsmanship is revealed in the tongue and groove pine flooring that makes a circular design up to the tip of the roof.

“The barn was built by hand saws,” said Beverly Ralstin, Norval’s wife. But she points out that even

A 24-year-old Lawrence man was injured Friday morning in a rollover accident southwest of Eudora.

Douglas County Undersheriff Steve Hornberger said Dusten Torchia was driving a vehicle east on North 1000 Road near the intersection of East 2000 Road when it left the road for an unknown reason and flipped onto its top. He said Torchia was extricated from the vehicle and transported to Overland

back in 1923 they had 32volt electricity inside the barn.

“If you stand in the center of the hayloft floor and speak, it echoes,” Norval Ralstin said.

Visitors get a bonus if they hang around until sunset and listen to the utter quiet as the sun sinks into the western Kansas horizon.

Soon after the barn was built, the tractor replaced the horse on the farm and the round barn became just another place to store hay.

Because the structure stands out for miles, during World War II it served as a landmark for training bomber navigators.

By the 1980s, Phyllis Birney received the barn and one acre of land from her husband as a 15th wedding anniversary gift.

She worked to have the Fromme-Birney Round Barn listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its architectural significance.

In 1995, Jerry and Jeff Koehn restored the barn through a Heritage Trust Fund Grant. Then in 2008 it was voted one of the eight architectural wonders of Kansas.

“You can see why it’s one of the eight architectural wonders,” said Norval Ralstin, who still lives in the neighborhood and sees to the care of the barn.

Ford on track to have best-selling car

Misty Davis, nurse, Emporia “Friends and having a good time.”

RAYONG, THAILAND (AP) — The stylish and nimble Ford Focus is on track to unseat Toyota’s aging Corolla to become the world’s topselling car, according to Ford.

The company says it sold 489,616 Focus sedans and hatchbacks globally in the first half of 2012, besting the Corolla by almost 27,000.

The Focus has several advantages, says Aaron Bragman, an automotive industry analyst for IHS Global Insight. It is newer, features better handling and styling, has superior technology and a much nicer interior than the Corolla.

“I’d rank it superior to the

Corolla in pretty much most ways,” says Bragman.

But Toyota isn’t conceding the title. It has disputed Ford’s numbers, saying its car is still on top when you include Corollas sold under other names. Hatchback versions of the Corolla are sold as the Auris in Europe and Matrix in the U.S. Toyota also sells the Corolla Verso, a van-like vehicle that Toyota has traditionally counted as a Corolla, says spokesman Mike Michels.

Including all the models, Toyota sold 603,840 Corollas in the first half, beating the Focus by about 114,000, Michels says.

The Kiowa County Historical Society owns the barn, and it is funded through donations.

Bob Neier, who grew up in the area and serves on the historical society committee, noted an interesting angle about the round structure.

“The barn housed the power source of the farm in 1912 with the 28 draft horses for pulling the farm machinery,” Neier said. “One hundred years later, a new power source for the region, a new wind farm, is just east of the barn. This shows how times have changed and the beauty of the old and new side by side.”

2 suspects charged in pistol-whipping incident

Far from home

PELICANS TAKE TO THE AIR FRIDAY AT PERRY LAKE after making a brief stop while heading south.

BRIEFLY No-contest pleas in sex crime case A 40-year-old Lawrence man pleaded no contest Friday to sex crime charges against two children.

Stevie L. Stafford’s nocontest pleas were for two counts of aggravated indecent liberties with a child stemming from incidents involving an 11-year-old boy and a 13-year-old girl.

As part of a plea agreement with prosecutors, a third charge of attempted rape was dropped. Amy McGowan, chief assistant district attorney, recommended a sentence of 265 months in the case. Each of the charges carries a penalty of 25 years to life.

Douglas County District Court Judge Paula Martin set a sentencing hearing for 4 p.m. Oct. 12.

Stafford was arrested Oct. 4 after officers were

called to Lawrence Memorial Hospital to speak to the boy’s mother about an incident that occurred the day before at Stafford’s residence in the 700 block of West 25th Street. The allegations involving the girl were more broad, and alleged Stafford molested the girl sometime between 2008 and 2011, according to prosecutors at a hearing in the case in 2011.

Lawrence, said Lawrence Police Sgt. Trent McKinley.

The alleged victim — a young girl — knew the man, McKinley said.

Both charges carry a sentence of 25 years to life. Pro Tem Judge James George set bail at $75,000.

A preliminary hearing is set for 9:30 a.m. Tuesday.

The Journal-World generally does not identify sex crime suspects unless they are convicted.

Man, 74, charged with child sex crimes Amtrak told states can’t fund route A 74-year-old Lawrence

Police arrested the man Thursday morning, and police believe the alleged abuse occurred over a period of several months at a residence in east

HUTCHINSON (AP) — Kansas, Colorado and New Mexico transportation officials have notified Amtrak that they do not have the millions of dollars the passenger rail service said is necessary to repair and maintain deteriorating tracks in western Kansas.

The three states sent a letter to Amtrak this week saying funding is not available to fix tracks between Hutchinson and Garden City that are in such disrepair that trains have to slow down on their daily run from Chicago to Los Angeles. The tracks are owned

by BNSF Railway Co., which maintains them just enough to allow its freight trains to go 30 to 40 mph.

The current route agreement between Amtrak and BNSF ends in 2016, after which Amtrak would have to pay the full cost of maintaining the route.

Amtrak officials warned the states that if a solution is not found by 2014 it would move the Southwest Chief route south, through Oklahoma and Texas, with a stop in Wichita.

That would take service away from Hutchinson, Garden City and Dodge City.

Two 19-year-old Topeka men were charged Friday in Douglas County District Court with numerous crimes related to a Wednesday incident in which a Kansas University student was pistolwhipped during a robbery at The Reserve apartment complex, 2511 W. 31st St. Sterling James Wilkins and Garrett Paulson were each charged with attempted aggravated robbery and theft, while Wilkins received additional charges of aggravated battery and interfering with a law enforcement officer.

Sgt. Trent McKinley, a Lawrence police spokesman, said police were called at 11:50 p.m.

Wednesday to the apartment complex.

Police said three KU students were sitting in a sport-utility vehicle in a parking lot Wednesday night, and another student was standing outside the vehicle, when two men approached them and demanded marijuana.

The occupants told the suspects they didn’t have any marijuana. One of the suspects then threatened to shoot the occupants before demanding money and property.

A struggle ensued be-

tween the armed suspect and the male student standing outside the SUV. The suspect punched the victim, then struck the victim on top of his head with the pistol, which fired into the ground.

The suspects took the victim’s keys and fled in another vehicle.

Medics treated the robbery victim, but he declined to be taken to the hospital, McKinley said.

About 12:35 a.m. Thursday, police received a report of vehicle burglaries in the 1000 block of Vermont Street.

“Witnesses reported seeing two individuals, who matched the description of the suspects involved in the incident at The Reserve, checking several vehicles parked in the city parking lot,” McKinley said. “They advised the subjects made entry to one vehicle prior to officers arriving.”

Police recovered a handgun, holster and keys to the robbery victim’s vehicle.

Bond for both men was set at $50,000. Several of the charges carry maximum penalties of 136 months each. A preliminary hearing was set for 9:30 a.m. Tuesday.

Tight campaign at pivot point

By Ben Feller and Matthew Daly Associated Press

FORT BLISS, TEXAS — His convention turn coming fast, President Barack Obama on Friday began sprinting toward one of his last, best shots to win over voters, ready to promise better days even for those who do not feel better off. Rival Mitt Romney, flush with confidence after his party’s convention, declared: “We love this country and we’re taking it back.”

Both angling for the aura of leadership, Romney swooped in on raindrenched Louisiana, while Obama stood with troops in Texas and reminded the nation that he ended the war in Iraq. Obama, too, will visit storm-battered Louisiana on Monday, a move the White House said was decided before Romney revealed his plans.

The race for the White House suddenly felt more urgent, a final heated day of August giving way to a two-month stretch in which many voters will get serious about making their choices — or even voting for one in the states that allow early balloting.

The political buzz followed Romney, hours after a convention speech in which he introduced himself to America and asked on-the-fence voters to let go of a president who “has disappointed America.” A rambling, surprising and strange appearance by movie legend Clint Eastwood at the GOP event still had people talking, too.

But attention was shifting to Obama, the incumbent who gets the last shot at making a lasting impression before the October debates.

His party’s national convention, which starts Tuesday in Charlotte, N.C., will dwell less on how life is now and more on where voters want their lives to be. Obama inherited an economy in the midst of a monster recession, and the pace of the stable, sluggish recovery is perhaps Obama’s greatest burden to re-election.

The coming days, capped by Obama’s speech on Thursday night, will crystalize his re-election pitch: An economy built on ending tax cuts for the rich and putting more

effort into education, energy, tax reform and debt reduction. He will call Romney a peddler of failed trickle-down ideas that will hurt the middle class and the needy.

Building by the day, the convention roll-in for Obama will take him through the battleground states of Iowa, Colorado, Ohio and Virginia. At the event itself, first lady Michelle Obama will command the stage one night, followed the next by Bill Clinton, who will ask voters to remember the good times and pledge Obama can return them.

To put a face on the election message, Obama and Vice President Joe Biden will be joined on political stops by what their campaign calls “American Heroes,” such as a student or teacher or veteran whose life story reflects Obama’s agenda.

The Democratic National Convention will also feature them.

Romney kept up a campaign pace out of his convention, with plans for stops in Ohio and Florida today before a quieter stretch into Labor Day. Friday was a pivot point, but hardly a breather in the window between the two conventions.

Before heading separately out of Tampa, Romney and running mate Paul Ryan wooed the voters of powerful Florida, which went for Obama in 2008.

“Hold us accountable.

Listen to what we have to say,” Romney said. “I plan on winning in Florida.

We love this country and we’re taking it back.”

Romney shook up his itinerary, as he had hinted, to get to Louisiana and inspect Hurricane Isaac’s damage. It was the kind of trip better associated with a president than a presidential candidate — Romney has no authority to direct help — but he did draw attention to the plight of victims there.

The White House offered no complaints.

For Obama, it was a day of official events, not campaigning, although with 67 days to go until Election Day there is little distinction.

Surrounded by troops in camouflage, he appeared as commander in chief more than candidate, announcing steps to help war veterans cope with mental health struggles.

18TH ANNUAL

Rally CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

make your own decisions.”

She said the group has stances against mandatory helmet laws or other laws it views as infringements on biker rights.

Pritchett declined to say the amount the event raises for the group, but with a crowd of 8,000 expected for the weekend, and weekend tickets costing between $25 and $35, it is a substantial amount.

On the outside, the rally might be about politics, but once inside the campgrounds, it’s all about having a good time. It’s world of leather, beards and polished bikes, set to a soundtrack of Harley engines and rock music.

Need a tattoo? A parlor is on-site. Vendors sell everything a person would need to look like a bona fide biker.

There are also concessions, a performance stage, a dance floor and plenty of Mardi Gras beads, which are distributed liberally and often. Basically, it’s a carnival for adults.

This environment draws Pete Tavares and others back every year.

“It’s about having fun.

It’s laid back,” said Tavares, of Topeka, attending his 17th Labor Day Rally.

Tavares first went to the event as a fill-in food vendor. He now comes annually, sells Mexican food, and enjoys the festival and the friends he has made.

Some of these friends are hungry as well. Tavares’ food stand, Paydro and Lena’s Concessions, has prepared 400 pounds of meat to be served this weekend.

As the night wore on, the dance floor became more crowded as people cut loose.

And while there was plenty of alcohol and no shortage of tough-looking

guys, the crowd remained friendly.

Both Tavares and Berry agreed that fights were a rare occurrence.

“You respect each other and treat them how you want to be treated,” Tavares said.

Berry said violence is at a minimum at the events because everyone is happy and knows the weekend centers on camaraderie and brotherhood.

Still, Berry said not everyone understands what the event is about or the people who go.

“We get tours of elderly folks through here. They look at us like we are animals in the zoo,” she said laughing.

Philippines quake spurs small tsunami MANILA, PHILIPPINES (AP) — A 7.6-magnitude earthquake struck off the Philippines’ eastern coast late Friday, killing one person in a house collapse, knocking out power in several towns and spurring panic about a tsunami that ended up generating only tiny waves.

The quake set off car alarms, shook items off shelves and sent many coastal residents fleeing for high ground before the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center lifted all tsunami alerts it had issued for the Philippines and neighboring countries from Indonesia to Japan, and for Pacific islands as far away as the Northern Marianas.

A RESIDENT WHOSE HOME IS SURROUNDED BY FLOODWATERS talks on the phone Thursday in LaPlace, La. Isaac has caused major flooding in the region, though floods were beginning to recede Friday.

Waters recede in La., leaving sopping mess

By Stacey Plaisance and Vicki Smith Associated Press

BELLE CHASE, LA. — Floodwaters from Isaac receded, power came on and businesses opened Friday ahead of the holiday weekend, the beginning of what is certain to be a slow recovery for Louisiana.

Newly nominated Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney visited flood-ravaged communities, and President Barack Obama said he would arrive Monday, appearances this part of the country is all too familiar with after Katrina and the Gulf oil spill.

Meanwhile, the leftovers from the storm pushed into the droughtstricken Midwest, knocking out power to thousands of people in Arkansas. At least seven people were killed in the storm in Mississippi and Louisiana.

In Lafitte, a fishing village south of New Orleans, Romney saw soaked homes, roads covered with brown water and debris-littered neighbor-

hoods. The GOP-friendly community is outside of the federal levee system that spared New Orleans and it lies on an exposed stretch of land near the Gulf.

Romney met along a highway with Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, and they talked about challenges facing the stricken area, which relies on fishing for its livelihood.

He also spoke to town officials and emergency workers.

“I’m here to learn and obviously to draw some attention to what’s going on here,” Romney told the governor. “So that people around the country know that people down here need help.”

At one point, Romney and Jindal talked to a man in waders and a straw hat holding a handwritten, neon yellow “Mitt Is Our Man” sign. The man complained about the area’s lack of protection from flooding.

The town is located just outside a region that is protected by levees and other flood protection measures built after Hurricane Katrina battered

New Orleans in 2005. The Army Corps of Engineers spent about $13 billion on the system.

Richard Riley rode out the storm in his home.

Even though the water was receding Friday, he decided it was time to leave. He walked about a mile and found rescuers, who took him to family members.

Riley, a Republican, said he favored building new flood protection for the area, especially after Isaac brought in a surprising amount of water. He said he wanted Obama to help make that happen.

“He needs to see the devastation and allocate the money that’s needed to build new levees or do whatever is needed to protect us,” Riley said.

Crown Point, Lafitte and other nearby settlements that jut inland from the Gulf are accustomed to high water driven by hurricanes.

But Isaac, a relatively weak storm by the standards of Betsy and Katrina, pushed in much more water than expected when it stalled after making landfall.

Drought-parched soil leads to homes cracking

By Jim Salter Associated Press

ST. LOUIS — Carol DeVaughan assumed her suburban St. Louis home was simply settling when cracks appeared in the walls. When she noticed huge gaps between her fireplace and ceiling, and that her family room was starting to tilt, she knew she had bigger problems.

Like thousands of other Americans getting stuck with huge repair bills, DeVaughan learned that the intense drought baking much of the country’s lawns, fields and forests this summer has also been sucking the moisture from underground, causing shifting that can lead to cracked basements and foundations, as well as damage aboveground.

Repairs often cost tens of thousands of dollars and can even top $100,000, and they are rarely covered by insurance, as shocked homeowners have been discovering.

DeVaughan, a retired Presbyterian minister, said she expects it will cost more than $25,000 to fix the split-level home in Manchester, Mo., where she’s lived for 27 years.

“I had retired,” said DeVaughan, 70, who has stayed busy filling in at the pulpit for vacationing pastors. “I guess I’ll keep working.”

Home repair businesses, especially those specializing in repairs to basements and foundations, can barely keep up with demand. Drought-related home damage is reported in 40 of the 48 contiguous states, and experts

say damage to homes could exceed $1 billion.

Dan Jaggers, a board member of the Basement Health Association, a Dayton, Ohio-based trade group for basement and foundation repair businesses, said this year’s drought is probably the worst for homes since the late 1950s. Houses in the central U.S. — from Louisiana up through the Dakotas — are getting the worst of it, but significant damage is being reported in all across the country, he said.

“It’s not only basements but crawl spaces and slabs,” Jaggers said. “Wherever the soil is interacting with the foundations.”

The lack of moisture in the ground has been causing the soil to crack open and pull away from

homes’ concrete bases.

“It’s very common right now to walk around the outside of somebody’s home and see gaps in the soil wide enough to put your fist in,” said Jason Courtney of the St. Louisarea repair firm Helitech.

All of the movement from the shifting soil can cause cracks in the basement walls or floor. But the damage doesn’t necessarily stop there.

“When the foundations move they cause structural damage that can lead to problems above the ground,” said Matt Stock, owner of U.S. Waterproofing in the Chicago area.

“Windows don’t open properly. You can get large cracks in the foundation wall, cracks in brick work and mortar, cracks in drywall.”

Iran, Soviet deterrence very different WASHINGTON — There are few foreign-policy positions more silly than the assertion without context that “deterrence works.”

It is like saying air power works.

Well, it worked for Kosovo; it didn’t work over North Vietnam.

It’s like saying city-bombing works. It worked in Japan 1945 (Tokyo through Nagasaki). It didn’t in the London blitz.

The idea that some military technique “works” is meaningless. It depends on the time, the circumstances, the nature of the adversaries. The longbow worked for Henry V. At El Alamein, however, Montgomery chose tanks.

Yet a significant school of American “realists” remains absolutist on deterrence and is increasingly annoyed with those troublesome Israelis who are sowing fear, rattling world markets and risking regional war by threatening a pre-emptive strike to stop Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Don’t they understand that their fears are grossly exaggerated? After all, didn’t deterrence work during 40 years of Cold War? Indeed, a few months ago, columnist Fareed Zakaria made that case by citing me writing in defense of deterrence in the early 1980s at the time of the nuclear freeze movement. And yet now, writes Zakaria, Krauthammer (and others on the right) “has decided that deterrence is a lie.”

Nonsense. What I have decided is that deterring Iran is fundamentally different from deterring the

Charles Krauthammer letters@charleskrauthammer.com

“

The confident belief that they are like the Soviets is a fantasy.

That’s why Israel is contemplating a pre-emptive strike.”

Soviet Union. You could rely on the latter but not on the former.

The reasons are obvious and threefold: 1. The nature of the regime.

Did the Soviet Union in its 70 years ever deploy a suicide bomber? For Iran, as for other jihadists, suicide bombing is routine. Hence the trail of self-immolation from the 1983 Marine barracks attack in Beirut to the Bulgaria bombing of July 2012. Iran’s clerical regime rules in the name of a fundamentalist religion for whom the hereafter offers the ultimate rewards.

For Soviet communists — thoroughly, militantly atheistic — such thinking was an opiate-laced fairy tale.

For all its global aspirations, the Soviet Union was intensely nationalist. The Islamic Repub-

lic sees itself as an instrument of its own brand of Shiite millenarianism — the messianic return of the “hidden Imam.”

It’s one thing to live in a state of mutual assured destruction with Stalin or Brezhnev, leaders of a philosophically materialist, historically grounded, deeply here-and-now regime. It’s quite another to be in a situation of mutual destruction with apocalyptic clerics who believe in the imminent advent of the Mahdi, the supremacy of the afterlife and holy war as the ultimate avenue to achieving it.

The classic formulation comes from Tehran’s fellow (and rival Sunni) jihadist al-Qaida: “You love life and we love death.” Try deterring that.

2. The nature of the grievance.

The Soviet quarrel with America was ideological. Iran’s quarrel with Israel is existential.

The Soviets never proclaimed a desire to annihilate the American people. For Iran, the very existence of a Jewish state on Muslim land is a crime, an abomination, a cancer with which no negotiation, no coexistence, no accommodation is possible.

3. The nature of the target.

America is a nation of 300 million; Israel, 8 million. America is a continental nation; Israel, a speck on the map, at one point eight miles wide. Israel is a “one bomb country.” Its territory is so tiny, its population so concentrated that, as Iran’s former President Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani has famously said, “application of an atomic

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Sept. 1, 1912: “The veterans of ‘56 are making plans for their annual reunion which YEARS is to be held on Saturday, September AGO 14. Every year this is a big occasion IN 1912 with the members of the organization of pioneer settlers of Lawrence.

This organization was formed in Lawrence thirteen years ago and reunions have been held annually since then. [The group] includes all residents of the town who settled here prior to September 14, 1856.

These are the people who fought the early battles of the city and who laid the foundations of what is now one of the best cities in the state.”

“At a meeting of the Fair Association this afternoon the question of a place for tying teams at the grounds was brought up. It was agreed that the present arrangements at the park were not satisfactory and a committee was appointed to look after improving them.”

bomb would not leave anything in Israel but the same thing would just produce damages in the Muslim world.” A tiny nuclear arsenal would do the job.

In U.S.-Soviet deterrence, both sides knew that a nuclear war would destroy them mutually. The mullahs have thought the unthinkable to a different conclusion. They know about the Israeli arsenal. They also know, as Rafsanjani said, that in any exchange, Israel would be destroyed instantly and forever, whereas the ummah — the Muslim world of 1.8 billion people whose redemption is the ultimate purpose of the Iranian revolution — would survive damaged but almost entirely intact.

This doesn’t mean that the mullahs will necessarily risk terrible carnage to their country in order to destroy Israel irrevocably. But it does mean that the blithe assurance to the contrary — because the Soviets never struck first — is nonsense. The mullahs have a radically different worldview, a radically different grievance and a radically different calculation of the consequences of nuclear war.

The confident belief that they are like the Soviets is a fantasy.

That’s why Israel is contemplating a pre-emptive strike. Israel refuses to trust its very existence to the convenient theories of comfortable analysts living 6,000 miles from its Ground Zero.

“The driver of a vehicle approaching a School Bus on which the amber warning signal lights are flashing shall reduce the speed of his vehicle and shall bring the vehicle to a complete stop when School Bus stops, red lights flash and stop sign is extended.

Please take a few moments to review these rules with the young drivers in your life. On behalf of parents everywhere, thank you!

Norine Spears, Lawrence

To the editor: Thursday morning, I heard a loud honk and my heart sank as I ran to the door — just in time to watch my high school son cross the street(veering around the car in his path) and safely board the school bus waiting for him on the other side.

Last year, a friend watched from the curb as a car screeched to a halt a mere 3 feet in front of his 8-year-old son who had just exited a school bus. One of the drivers involved was an experienced parent and the other was a student.

No one wants to live on either side of this type of tragedy. The rules for school buses are different than city buses. According to the Kansas School Bus Stop Law (http://www.d-r-d.com/383/stoTo the editor: plaw.html): What are we even getting a “The driver of a vehicle ap- newspaper for? I read it every day.

New ‘ruffians’ To the editor: Those who study history know “border ruffians” were pro-slavery men from the state of Missouri, who in 1854 crossed over the state border into eastern Kansas territory, to attempt to force the acceptance of slavery. The name “border ruffians” was applied by Free State settlers in Kansas to armed ruffians who interfered in territorial elections and attacked Free State settlements. This invasion and the violence it led to originated the phrase “Bleeding

I guess that’s not as newsworthy as the latest celebrity scandal. It’s not as important as someone’s child who likes to watch county commission meetings. Years ago, I could have cut out an article about Mr. Windom and pasted it in my scrapbook. Oh, I forgot. Scrapbooks must be obsolete. Must the newspaper be, too?

Kansas.” Those “ruffians” contributed to the growing tensions, and helped bring on the American Civil War. Today another attempt to subvert the polls in Kansas is under way by what historians may eventually call “political ruffians.”

Kansans understand special circumstances make it very difficult, and in many cases impossible, for some Kansans to obtain the photo IDs that new state regulations would seem to require. Thus if such is required of registered voters, I say these regulations are as illegal as the invasion of the 1850s by those who wanted to engineer the election process back then.

Nursing homes staffs have expressed concern that many of their residents don’t have photo IDs even though they are registered to vote. Some, probably most, no longer drive, so they don’t have a driver’s license with a photo ID and many have not obtained any other identification card with a photo because there is no need for one for people who don’t use credit cards or drive autos.

Jackrabbit QB won’t play

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Kansas RB Cox immune to hype

The South Dakota State football team will be without the reigning Missouri Valley Conference freshman of the year today when the Jackrabbits take on Kansas University at 6:06 p.m. at Memorial Stadium.

Just before his team’s walkthrough on Friday, SDSU coach John Stiegelmeier told the Journal-World that sophomore quarterback Austin Sumner would not play and that red-shirt freshman Eric Kline would make the first start of his career in his place.

Sumner spent the week

working to rehab a hand injury he suffered during fall camp but was not able to progress to the point he could be effective in the opener.

“It’s a deal where I know he wants to play,” Stiegelmeier said.

“But he hasn’t taken a rep. Our other guy has taken all the reps. And I’m a coach that’ll tell you the truth, so if he’s

Rain and shine

Think of Taylor Cox as the anti-Jocques Crawford, and keep your fingers crossed that he remains the polar opposite of the hyped bust when he takes the field Saturday for Kansas University in its football opener against South Dakota State in Memorial Stadium, 6:06 p.m. kickoff.

Crawford came to Kansas as the junior-college player of the year, and he did nothing to lower fans’ expectations when he stated his goal for his first season under a KU helmet.

“The personal goal I set for myself is I would rush for 2,000,” Crawford said in advance of the 2008 season. Taylor Cox He was fresh rushed for off running 1,507 yards and for 1,935 14 touchdowns yards and 19 last season at touchdowns College of the for Cisco Ju- Siskiyous nior College in Texas.

Crawford fell 1,768 yards short of his stated goal and transferred to Tennessee Tech, where in 11 games in 2010 he rushed for 582 yards between KU-bashing tweets.

Cox comes to Kansas from the College of the Siskiyous in Weed, Calif.

Texas Tech’s Gillispie hospitalized LUBBOCK, TEXAS (AP) — Texas Tech men’s basketball coach Billy Gillispie was hospitalized for an undisclosed medical issue Friday, the same day the university announced it was scrutinizing his leadership of the struggling program.

A t h l e t i c Gillispie department spokesman Blayne Beal said Gillispie, 52, was admitted to University Medical Center early Friday but declined to provide further details. Hospital spokes-

man Eric Finley said Gillispie was in satisfactory condition and likely to be held overnight. Finley said he had no other details on why Gillispie was admitted.

Gillispie was hospitalized on the same day that Beal said the university is looking into matters stemming from the coach’s dealings with his players.

“We are looking into some concerns within the leadership of our men’s basketball program,” Beal said, reading from a prepared statement. “Student-athlete well-being is something that is our top priority. We take that very seriously at Texas Tech. We are devoting our full resources into looking into this matter.”

Beal confirmed that members of the team had met with Texas Tech athletic director Kirby Hocutt but declined to say when the meeting occurred or what issues were discussed.

Published reports indicate some former players alleged that the Red Raiders practiced several hours over the NCAA’s limit.

Gillispie is entering his second year as coach of the Red Raiders. His first Texas Tech team finished 8-23 and won only one game in the Big 12.

When Gillispie was hired

by Texas Tech, he had been out of coaching for two years after being fired at Kentucky after just two seasons. He was

named Southeastern Conference Coach of the Year in his first season, but his second team failed to reach the NCAA Tournament.

Six months after his firing, Gillispie sought treatment at the John Lucas substance-abuse program in Houston. That followed his third arrest for drunken driving in 10 years.

Gillispie got the Kentucky job after leading Texas A&M to three consecutive 20-win seasons. In his previous coaching stop, he oversaw a turnaround at UTEP in which the Miners tied the NCAA record for most improved team from one season to the next.

Michigan St. turns back Boise, 17-13 EAST LANSING, MICH. (AP) — Le’Veon Bell ran for a career-high 210 yards and two touchdowns, including the game-winner with 8:12 remaining in No. 13 Michigan State’s 17-13 victory over No. 24 Boise State on Friday night.

In a sloppy season opener, the Spartans turned the ball over four times and trailed 13-10 before Bell scored from 5 yards out midway through the fourth quarter. The Broncos drove to the Michigan State 42, but Joe Southwick’s pass on fourthand-2 was broken up.

Bell and the Spartans (1-0) then ran off the final 6:32.

Boise State (0-1) was sluggish in its first game after losing standouts Kellen Moore and Doug Martin from last season’s explosive offense. The Broncos’ only touchdown came on Jeremy Ioane’s 43-yard interception return in the second quarter.

Bell became Michigan State’s undisputed top running back when Edwin Baker left to enter the NFL draft after last season. His workload certainly increased Friday. His 44 carries more than doubled his previous career high of 20, and the junior also set career marks with six receptions for 55 yards.

Michigan leaned on Bell, especially after new starting quarterback Andrew Maxwell threw three first-half interceptions.

ANDY RODDICK RETURNS A SHOT TO BERNARD TOMIC during the second round of the U.S. Open. Roddick won the match, 6-3, 6-4, 6-0, on Friday in New York.

Roddick extends career with victory at Open NEW YORK — Andy Roddick was discussing his retirement-postponing victory during a TV interview when a group of fans interrupted by chanting, “One more year! One more year!”

How about one more match? That, at least, is a given now.

A day after surprisingly announcing the U.S. Open will be the last tournament of his career, Roddick dominated Australian teenager Bernard Tomic from start to finish Friday night in Arthur Ashe Stadium and won, 6-3, 6-4, 6-0, to reach the third round.

“I had no idea what was going to happen out there,” Roddick said. “I’ve played a lot of matches and that was a different kind of nerves than I’ve had before, so that was surprising for me.”

Other men’s winners Friday included defending champion Novak Djokovic, 2009 champion Juan Martin del Potro and 2001 champion Lleyton Hewitt, who came back to beat Gilles Muller, 3-6, 7-6 (5), 6-7 (5), 7-5, 6-4.

The day’s biggest surprise was 18-year-old Laura Robson’s 6-4, 6-7 (5), 6-2 victory over 2011 French Open champion Li Na, setting up a fourth-round match against defending women’s champion Sam Stosur. Robson ended four-time major champion Kim Clijsters’ singles career by beating her in the second round. Unlike Roddick, Clijsters let everyone know months ago that she would quit after the U.S. Open.

The league locked out the NFL Referees Association in early June, then hired replacements, whose work in exhibition games has been heavily criticized.

The Georgia World Congress Center Authority, which operates the downtown football stadium, said in a statement Friday night that the man fell on another fan seated in the mezzanine area at about 8:30 p.m. The fan who was hit while seated also was taken to the Atlanta hospital.

Seung-yul Noh, in his first season on the PGA Tour, had a 9-under 62. That gave him a oneshot lead over Chris Kirk.

Kely fell during the Thursday game between the Texans and the Minnesota Vikings, Reliant Stadium officials said in a statement.

Royals rained out KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — Jarrod Dyson can still help the Kansas City Royals with his speed. Playing the outfield, however, is out for now.

Dyson injured his shoulder Monday making a catch. An MRI taken Friday before the Royals and Minnesota Twins were postponed by rain revealed Dyson has a strained latissimus dorsi muscle.

“That’s what it shows,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “We’ll shut him down from throwing.”

The game will be made up as part of a doubleheader today.

The Twins will start a pair of rookie right-handers in the twinbill, scheduled to begin at 3:10 p.m.

Cole De Vries (3-5) will pitch the first game against fellow Friday starter Will Smith (4-6), Kansas City’s rookie left-hander.

Liam Hendricks (0-7) is set to start in the nightcap against right-hander Luke Hochevar (7-12).

With major-league clubs able to expand rosters from 25 to 40 today, Yost said there is no need to put Dyson on the disabled list. Yost said the club would “probably have to bring an outfielder up” with Dyson’s injury.

Dyson’s best tool is his speed. He has 25 stolen bases in 28 attempts and is tied for ninth in the AL with five triples.

“He’ll still be a valuable piece for us late in the game to be able to pinch run, so we can use him in that capacity,” Yost said.

“The only thing it limits is his throwing.”

Dyson, who has hit .375 in his past 14 games, is hitting .270 with a .333 onbase percentage.

Earlier this week, Stiegelmeier said preparing for the Jayhawks had been tough because there was no film on how the Jayhawks would play under first-year coach Charlie Weis. With Sumner out, the Jayhawks will face a quarterback whom they have seen no film on, but Stiegelmeier said that did not exactly level the playing field.

“I would give coach Weis our playbook if I had our starter,” he said. “And that’s not a knock on Eric Kline. But you want to have your starting quarterback heading into the season.”

With Sumner sidelined, the Jackrabbits turn to Kline, whose only live-action experience came dur-

Kansas University freshman Ashley Williams scored a pair of goals and added an assist, and KU’s defense held visiting Creighton to just four shots to earn its thirdstraight shutout, 3-0, on a rainy Friday at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex.

KU (4-1) took an early lead on a fourth-minute goal by Williams and then made it stand up for a majority of the day. KU senior goalkeeper Kat Liebetrau needed to make just one save to notch her 11th career shutout.

Senior Amy Grow was credited with the assist on Williams’ first goal.

Williams helped the Jayhawks add to their lead early in the second half when she found Caroline Kastor with a cross from the far side of the box that Kastor tapped in for her third goal of the season.

Williams sent her fourth goal of the year into the back of the net off a cross from the near side of the box by Nicole Chrisopulous in the 86th minute.

Williams became the first Jayhawk with five points in a match since Ingrid Vidal had two goals and an assist against Oral Roberts on Sept. 25 of last season.

Sara McClinton and Catherine Carmichael had 22 and 16 kills respectively (both career highs) versus Tulsa, while Brianne Riley, Jaime Mathieu and Amy Wehrs had 23, 14 and 13 digs. Erin McNorton had a career-high 57 assists.

Riley totaled 19 digs against Sam Houston State, while McClinton had 10 kills.

“I thought maybe we could have gotten it over in three (sets vs. Tulsa), but to win it like that might be more meaningful because we put some kids in pressure situations that will be tough to duplicate in practice,” KU coach Ray Bechard said. “Down 23-19 it didn’t look good. We knew we were in a substitution issue (running out at the end of the fourth set), but the kids made some plays. I love the comeback. That’s kind of what happened to us last weekend in Arkansas. We pushed back tonight and got a good result.”

VERITAS SEASON PREVIEW

Eagles sporting new looks this fall

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Veritas Christian School’s fall sports programs — even football — will be getting used to some new faces this season.

Few Kansas Christian Athletic Association football teams have been as good as Veritas the past two years. The 2010 KCAA state champs rode a 20-game winning streak into last year’s title game before finishing as runnerup to St. Mary’s Academy.

Still, coach Doug Bennett knows this season will challenge his program. While the ninthyear coach likes his core of returning players — seniors Bryce Boland, and

Andrew Harvey, juniors Elijah Harvey, Alex Lynch and Thatcher Martin, and sophomore Caleb Holland — he is concerned about the team’s depth.

The coach expects freshman Chad Stieben to help Veritas immediately, but the roster includes just 13 players. That’s about eight fewer players than Bennett worked with the previous two seasons.

“It’s a real challenge at practice, makes it tough to scrimmage,” he said.

What’s more, seven of the Eagles are freshmen.

So health and versatility will be crucial.

“Even the guys who are returning are playing in new spots,” Bennett said.

The Vikings defense held up, though, as a West cornerback held his ground to shield Hofer from the ball.

“I tried to come back, and he was right there in position,” Hofer said. “I couldn’t do much about it.”

West’s players stormed the field after the incompletion, celebrating a victory in which they held the Lions scoreless during three red-zone possessions in the final five minutes.

The first possession ended up being the one the Lions regretted most.

Following a 54-yard punt return by Strauss to the SMW 17, LHS drove all the way to the oneyard line, where it faced a third-and-goal.

Senior running back Tyrone Jenkins was stacked up on an inside run, though, losing a yard after West’s defenders were able to get penetration.

“I’m sure they made a good play,” Hofer said, “but we’ve got to get that in.”

On fourth-and-goal from the two, Strauss’ pass intended for Erick Mayo was broken up by West’s Rob Rice.

“Erick had his guy beat.

I thought I threw a pretty good ball,” Strauss said.

“The kid made a pretty good play on it.”

West took over on downs, but two plays later, West quarterback A.J. Verdini fumbled, with Mayo falling on the loose ball at the West 10-yard line with 2:19 left.

THE RAIN POURS DOWN ON LAWRENCE HIGH’S OFFENSE as it huddles around quarterback Brad Strauss in the fourth quarter. LHS fell to Shawnee Mission West, 20-14, Friday at LHS. “Our defense played really good,” Mayo said.

“We just needed to capitalize on offense.”

The Lions couldn’t do it, going backwards on their next three plays before Strauss threw a desperation interception to West’s Andre Maloney with 1:26 left.

With the outcome nearly sealed, West once again couldn’t hold onto the football. Verdini lost the ball on third down, and Lawrence’s Kieran Severa fell on it at the West 15 with 1:06 remaining.

Strauss lost a yard on a run and then completed a five-yard pass to Hofer before getting sacked with eight seconds left, setting up the final desperation play.

“To be able to stop us three times on the goal line in the fourth quarter ... this is a good team,” Strauss said of West.

“You’ve got to give them a lot of credit for that.”

Strauss, who underhanded an interception to Marquan Osbey while trying to avoid a sack early in the fourth quarter that led to a West TD, nearly single-handedly pulled LHS back into the game after that.

He led the Lions on a two-play, 58-yard drive, which included a 38-yard pass to Will Thompson and a 20-yard score of his own.

He later added the long punt return to put the Lions inside the West 20 and, during a rainy night, finished 17-for-33 passing for 195 yards with a passing and rushing TD. “He’s unbelievable,” LHS coach Dirk Wedd said. “He gave them six points, and then basically brought us back by himself. He’s pretty special. A kid like that comes along once in a great while.”

LHS (0-1) lost despite nearly doubling the yardage of West (282-145).

forced the Ravens into a long, disastrous night from the game’s opening possession, when Wyatt sacked quarterback Holdyn Halperin on second down, and Stanclift recovered a fumble on the following play to put Free State (1-0) on the Ravens’ four-yard line.

“We adapted better than they did,” Stanclift said.

The visitors settled for a 22-yard Antonio Schnoneich field goal on their first possession, on a night Free State seemed to have the elixir for ball insecurity.

Riding the strength of consecutive three-andout possessions by their defense, the Firebirds capped each of their next two drives with Joe Dineen touchdown runs, and the Ravens trailed 17-0 before the first-quarter clock ran out.

“That’s our offense,” Stanclift said. “We attack quick, and we get some big plays.”

Dineen, who lined up at running back, receiver and quarterback at various points, credited FSHS offensive linemen Wyatt, Stanclift, Riley Buller, Reid Buckingham and Derick Davis.

“We wouldn’t have scored without them,”

Dineen said. “No doubt.”

Firebirds coach Bob Lisher, meanwhile, saw the whole field on his team’s scoring plays, including a 28-yard rush by senior back TJ Cobbs following a well-timed pitch from Dineen in the third quarter.

“Our O-line did a good job of getting us to the next level,” Lisher said, “but our wide receivers did a heck of a job blocking down field.”

While Lisher left the sloppy CBAC field pleased with his team’s execution on both sides of the ball, he praised the defense for recovering on a few lengthy ONW runs. Tye

Brawl breaks out at THS soccer match

By Justin Nutter jnutter@theworldco.info

Tonganoxie High’s boys soccer team earned its second-straight comeback victory Thursday at Basehor-Linwood, but most of the fireworks occurred before either team scored.

A first-half altercation led to three player ejections and left both teams shorthanded for the majority of the game, which Tonganoxie went on to win, 2-1.

Roughly 10 minutes into the first half, Tonganoxie senior Zack Tallent collid-

ed with Basehor-Linwood’s Trey Kincheloe when both players converged on a loose ball. Tempers flared among players on the field — and between several parents in the stands — before officials issued red cards to Tallent and Kincheloe, as well as THS senior John Lean.

Per Kansas State High School Activities Association rules, ejected players can’t be replaced, so Tonganoxie was forced to play with nine players and Basehor-Linwood 10 for the remainder of the match.

TALE OF THE TAPE

When Kansas has the ball Kansas rush offense vs. South Dakota State rush defense The loss of back-to-back leading rusher James Sims to a three-game suspension has done very little to hinder the Jayhawks’ belief that they can run the football. Led by electric sophomore Tony Pierson, who will start and figures to pick up around 15 touches, the Jayhawks will look to keep things balanced in the opener, giving much-needed work to their new ground game and taking some of the pressure off of quarterback Dayne Crist. This offseason, the 5-foot-10, 170-pound Pierson has added bulk and toughness, and he believes both will make him tougher to bring down and better equipped to hang in there against blitzing defenders. With Sims out, the backs behind Pierson also will take on more importance early in the season, with juniorcollege transfer Taylor Cox working as the No. 2 back and sophomore Brandon Bourbon picking up carries behind him. Most people believe that KU coach Charlie Weis’ offenses like to air it out, but expect to see all three backs log meaningful carries in the opener. That should bode well for the Jayhawks, who will face a Jackrabbits squad that returns seven defensive starters but also surrendered more than 200 yards per game on the ground in 2011.

Edge: Kansas.

KANSAS FOOTBALL COACH CHARLIE WEIS GOES OVER A PLAY with quarterback Dayne Crist during the first half of the Spring Game on April 28 at Memorial Stadium. The two will have one last go-around on the sidelines starting with today’s opener against South Dakota State.

Crist, Weis fired up for final fling

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

During his four seasons at Notre Dame, Kansas University quarterback Dayne Crist threw for 2,300 yards and 16 touchdowns in 10 starts.

So this whole leader-ofthe-team thing is not exactly new for Crist, KU’s prized offseason acquisition who became a team captain in four months and the face of the franchise overnight.

Throughout his career, and even after two knee injuries, the 6-foot-4, 235-pound pro-style QB controlled the huddle, took the heat, stared down defenses and did what he expected he always would. Then one day that all stopped. Benched after starting the season opener last September, Crist quickly became a Notre Dame castoff and went through his final season forced to wonder if he ever would play a meaningful snap again.

An unexpected reunion with the man who brought him to Notre Dame, in the most improbable of places, gave him that chance. And tonight, when Crist leads the new-look Jayhawks onto the field for the 6:06 p.m. season opener against South Dakota

State at Memorial Stadium, he’ll do so as a changed man.

“At the point that I’m at, this being my last year no matter what, you’ve kind of got a different sense of urgency,” Crist said. “You realize this is all you have left. You cherish this time.... I haven’t been this happy or this excited in a very long time.”

The last start of Crist’s Fighting Irish career came nearly a year ago. Since that day in South Bend, Ind., nearly everything the former five-star prospect knew disappeared. New role, new teammates, new zip code, new colors, new hope. Even though it has been 363 days since his last start, Crist said it seemed much longer.

“Forever,” he said. “It feels like an eternity.”

At the core of Crist’s final chance is his relationship with KU coach Charlie Weis, a man who serves more as a trusted family friend than anything else. Throughout the past few years, Crist has made it clear what Weis has meant to him — first by signing with him out of high school, then by keeping in touch after Weis was fired, and, finally, by following him to Kansas. And, even though the colors and circumstances have changed

dramatically, Crist finally seems to be living out the scenario he envisioned when he first signed with Weis as a high school senior.

“I think so,” he said. “I’m happy to see where we’re at and the adversity we’ve both overcome. But at the same time, we’ve got so much work to do that we’re focused on what’s ahead of us not where we’re at.”

That’s what drives him.

And the skills he learned from Weis at Notre Dame, nuances about playing quarterback that he said came back almost as soon as he set foot in Lawrence, are what have both coach and quarterback believing 2012 could be one heck of a swan song for Crist.

“Just the other day, there was an audible that we haven’t run here, and he checked to it, and we ran for about 30 yards,” Weis said. “No one on the team had ever had that discussion yet. Now, we’ve had it, but that was three years ago. It was good to see. They all knew the play he was running because they heard the name of the play before, but the fact that he can get you in it, that’s important.”

Crist said moments like that — there have been sev-

eral — provide tangible proof at just how deep the bond between the two has become.

“It’s been great being able to pick up where we left off,” Crist said. “I’m never doing something that he hasn’t green-lighted at some point, but he gives me a lot of responsibility, and that’s something that I’m flattered to have. It just goes back to the relationship he and I have.

Kansas pass offense vs. South Dakota State pass defense The average fan may not know much about KU’s deep receiving corps, but Weis has seen enough to know that he has some playmakers there. From seniors D.J. Beshears, Daymond Patterson and Kale Pick to up-and-comers Tre’ Parmalee and Andrew Turzilli, the Jayhawks should have enough weapons — especially when you factor in the four-headed tight-end monster led by senior transfer Mike Ragone — to make Crist’s job a good one to have. The biggest question marks for the KU passing game in Week 1 revolve around Crist: How long will it take him to shake off the rust, and will the offensive line be able to give him the protection he needs to efficiently run Weis’ offense he knows so well? SDSU recorded 22 sacks and 11 interceptions a season ago, but most of those came against smaller opponents than Kansas.

Look for Crist and the KU offense to get comfortable quickly in this one.

Edge: Kansas.

Special teams Normally, when FCS and FBS foes match up early in the season, special teams is an area that the underdogs like to think they can even the playing field a little bit. That won’t be the case today, as Weis’ Jayhawks have put as much emphasis on sound special teams as any of their other units this offseason. Junior kicker Ron Doherty gives the Jayhawks an experienced weapon on both offense and defense, and dynamic return men like D.J. Beshears, Daymond Patterson, Bradley McDougald and newcomer Tre’ Parmalee should set the KU offense up with good field position whenever it touches the ball. Like Weis, Stiegelmeier is an attentionto-detail kind of coach, but KU appears to out-athlete the Jackrabbits in this department, and, assuming the effort extended is the same, that should be enough to tip the scale in KU’s favor.

Edge: Kansas.

5 free things to do in Prague into the evening by the castle gates. There’s a fee for exhibition halls and historical monuments but the lovely gardens around the castle are free to visit. The grounds stay open until midnight every day through Oct. 31, so you can enjoy a nice night walk in a beautiful and safe place with hardly anyone there — as opposed to the crowds you’ll encounter during the day. The castle also provides a vantage point for breathtaking views of the city.

By Karel Janicek Associated Press

PRAGUE — Prague is a vibrant city, with a lively nightlife that attracts lots of young tourists. But while cafes, busy streets and good beer draw plenty of visitors, among the most beautiful and appealing attractions in this trendy capital are its historic and cultural sites, in the Old Town, in churches and castles dating back centuries. And many of them can be enjoyed for free. Here are five suggestions.

Old Town Square Dating to the Middle Ages, the Old Town Square is located in the heart of Prague. Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque buildings — including a tower and churches — date to the 12th century. Notable sites include the Orloj or Astronomical Clock, dating to 1410, which includes solar and lunar positions, a monthly calendar and a tableau of figures that move on the hour, as well as a statue of church reformer Jan Hus, erected in 1915, 500 years after his death.

Tour guides offer their services in the square for free — though they hope for a tip at the end.

Charles Bridge Walking across the Charles Bridge is one of the most popular tourist activities in Prague. The bridge’s construction began in 1357 under Charles IV, the Holy Roman Emperor known as the father of the Czech nation.

Over the centuries, 30 mostly Baroque statues of saints were erected on the bridge’s Gothic balustrade. The statue of the legendary Czech knight Bruncvik, standing alone on one of the bridge’s pillars, is among the notable sculptures. Legend has it that his magical sword was buried in the bridge and would be swung at

times of great national tribulation by St. Wenceslas, Bohemia’s patron saint.

Churches Prague’s beautiful medieval churches are also popular with visitors and many can be seen free of charge. Among them is the Church of Our Lady Before Tyn, where famed Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe is buried. The church’s distinctive twin spires, 20 stories high, can be seen from a long distance away. You can also visit a small part of the monumental structure near the entrance to St. Vitus Cathedral for free, though a fee is charged for full access to the country’s biggest and most famous church. The church was the site of the funeral of the late President Vaclav Havel. Since May, all seven of the cathedral’s bells have been heard tolling together again, for the first time since World War I, when three of the bells were confiscated. They were recently recast and returned to the bell tower.

Parks Urban parks throughout Prague offer peoplewatching, playgrounds, green space, paths for biking and skating, and postcard-perfect views of the city’s intricate skyline, a panorama of centuries-old spires, towers and decorative rooftops.

Favorite parks include Petrin Hill and Stromovka Park.

Allison and David Low The bride earned a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Oregon and a Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of California-San Francisco.

She is employed at Kaiser Permanente Santa Rosa Medical Center.

The groom is a graduate of Lawrence High School.

He studied at the University of California-Berkeley and is currently the assistant winemaker at Papapietro Perry Winery and owner/partner of Anthill Farms Winery.

After a honeymoon in Italy, the couple resides in Healdsburg, CA. They met at the Healdsburg Parkpoint Athletic Club, where the bride was employed.

Notice of changes As of Aug. 25, the Lawrence Journal-World will handle society announcements through the advertising department instead of the editorial department. This will allow readers to be able to submit their announcements as they would like to see them appear. There will be free listings available for publication, but charges will apply for larger listings and those that include pictures. This includes engagements, weddings, anniversaries and birth announcements. There will be an additional charge for all announcements with multiple photos.

Why read fine print when booking hotels?

NEW YORK (AP) — The next time you book a hotel room, read the fine print first.

New fees and novel freebies continue to pop up on hotel bills. Knowing what’s included — and what you’re willing to pay for — can make a big difference when it comes time to settle the bill.

More hotels are now charging for in-room Internet access while others are providing free computers in the lobby, coffee in the room and even breakfast. Some downtown hotels have gone so far as to add airport shuttles, aiming to steal business from properties closer to the terminal.

Often, budget hotels include more freebies while higher-end lodgings offer fewer.

The findings are part of

a survey by travel research firm STR on behalf of the lodging association. STR contacted the 52,155 hotels in America and heard back from 23 percent.

One of the biggest growth areas in fees is in-room Internet access: 23 percent of hotels now charge for the service, up from just 15 percent four years ago.

If you don’t want to pay for Internet, go to the lobby. That’s where a whopping 78 percent of hotels — mostly upscale ones — offer complimentary internet access on computers.

Some 79 percent of hotels now offer complimentary breakfast. At midscale chains, that number jumps to 97 percent.

About 61 percent allow pets, mostly in the midscale and economy properties.

Dear Annie: For the past three summers, my friend “Don” has spent a few days with me at our family beach house. The second year, he hinted about visiting again and was pleased when I invited him back. Soon, he began referring to “his room” at the beach house and making regular comments about “next year.”

I didn’t know how to respond, so I ignored the comments.

This summer, I told Don that I had invited another friend and his wife to join me at the summerhouse. His response was that all of us could go. Annie, even though there’s enough room, I want to have only this other couple.

But all I could think to say to Don was “maybe.”

I’m guessing that his feelings are hurt, but I’m a little annoyed. What should I do? — Awkward in Idaho Dear Idaho: You do not

This is not your fault.

TV honors astronaut Armstrong Discovery and its Science Channel affiliate will air tributes to astronaut Neil Armstrong, who died last week. The first man to set foot on the moon, Armstrong is probably best remembered and appreciated for his avoidance of the limelight in the years since his Apollo spaceflight in July 1969. Although it seems trite to reduce his achievement to mere television, Armstrong can be seen as the “star” of the most widely watched event in the history of the medium. That he returned to a rather private life afterward speaks volumes about his character. ‘‘One Giant Leap: A Neil Armstrong Tribute” (7 p.m.

Saturday, Discovery; 9 p.m., Science) includes archival clips of the Apollo project and interviews with Armstrong and his fellow astronauts. The 2007 documentary “In the Shadow of the Moon” (7 p.m. Saturday, Science) also looks at the incomparable effort to put a man on the moon that began with President John F. Kennedy’s 1961 challenge and culminated with Armstrong’s “one small step” eight years later.

Discovery will also air the 2008 film “When We Left Earth” (6 p.m. Saturday), narrated by Gary Sinise. The film puts great emphasis on the unknowns surrounding the mission to the moon. Rocket science and physics told NASA that it could get there, but there was no certainty of surviving a landing on the lunar surface or successfully returning to Earth.

Cesar Millan takes a victory lap of sorts through his final season of “The Dog Whisperer” (7 p.m. Saturday, Nat Geo Wild). He visits, and trains, the dogs of NASCAR drivers and their families.

It’s hard not to associate the stock car circuit with a certain machismo. Take for instance, Saturday’s race, the NRA American Warrior 300 (6 p.m., ESPN2).

But two of the most notable dogs featured on “Whisperer” are very small. Millan interviews drivers and their families who have the toy breeds because they acclimate better to the trailers they live in while traveling from race to race.

A concluding segment showcases driver Greg Biffle and his wife’s efforts to spread the word about spaying and neutering dogs to keep unwanted animals from being sheltered and destroyed.

Saturday’s other highlights

On two episodes of “48 Hours Mystery” (CBS): tempting fate (8 p.m.) and honor (9 p.m.).

A radical procedure may awaken Charlie before he’s ready on “Saving Hope” (8 p.m., NBC).

The doctor is incarcerated in a dangerous outer space prison on “Doctor Who” (8 p.m., BBC America), the first of five new episodes.

BIRTHDAYS Attorney and law professor Alan Dershowitz is 74. Comedianactress Lily Tomlin is 73. Singer Barry Gibb is 66. Talk show host Dr. Phil McGraw is 62. Singer Gloria Estefan is 55. Retired NBA All-Star Tim Hardaway is 46.

two trips out of town.

For the wedding, we had to drive more than 250 miles round-trip, board our dog for two days and pay for our own motel room, even though the bride said they would take care of it. The weekend cost us $230.

This is my gripe: My husband was not given a dime for his services.

When I mentioned to him that in the future he might make it a condition of doing a wedding that his travel expenses be covered, he shrugged and said, “They probably couldn’t afford it.”

But they were able to afford everything else, plus a honeymoon! This is not the first time he’s been stiffed, although bridal etiquette says it is customary to pay the clergyman $150 to $500 for his services.

Celebs and politics: When the star alliance misfires

By Leanne Italie Associated Press

NEW YORK — In the aftermath of Clint Eastwood’s perplexing and ridiculed “invisible Obama” monologue at the Republican National Convention, conservative blogger Moe Lane summed up what many on both sides of the political divide are thinking.

“The term ‘surfing on the edge of the catastrophe curve’ comes to mind,” Lane wrote at RedState, concluding the bit that had the 82-year-old Hollywood icon talking to an empty chair did work but, “I would not recommend that the GOP make it a habit.”

Celebrities have courted politicians, and vice versa, since the dawn of Hollywood, but what happens when the alliance backfires, when the two worlds are suddenly speaking different languages?

The crowd Thursday night at the Tampa Bay Times Forum, just ahead of Romney’s “speech of a lifetime,” greeted the Eastwood Moment with hearty laughter and applause, a welcome break of levity on the last day of a tightly choreographed convention.

But behind the scenes, Romney’s campaign staff

ACTOR CLINT EASTWOOD SPEAKS to an empty chair Thursday during his address to delegates during the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla. didn’t find it so humorous.

Asked about it immediately after the convention concluded, a half-dozen staffers said little. The campaign quickly went into damage control.

Unlike every other convention speaker, the teleprompter in the hall wasn’t used during Eastwood’s speech, which had him lampooning President Barack Obama as if

he were there. The routine from the Oscar-winning director of “Unforgiven” and “Million Dollar Baby” lasted twice as long as scheduled, cutting into the hour of prime time coverage for Republicans.

It also sucked up Friday morning coverage of Romney’s speech that had him accepting the Republican nomination for president.

Anti-Obama film ‘2016’ cashes in

By Derrik J. Lang Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — It wasn’t backed by any Hollywood movie studio. Reviews were mostly negative. It premiered in Houston, not Los Angeles or New York. And yet despite the unconventional release of “2016: Obama’s America,” the movie is now among the most successful political documentaries of all time — and it doesn’t show signs of cooling down ahead of the presidential election.

The conservative film exploring the roots of President Barack Obama’s political views surprised the film industry when it took in $6.5 million to land at No. 7 at last weekend’s domestic box office ahead

of three new releases: the Joseph Gordon-Levitt action flick “Premium Rush,” the Kristen Bell comedy “Hit and Run” and the Ashley Greene horror film “The Apparition.”

That makes “2016” the most successful conservative documentary of all time. It’s also the sixth overall highest grossing political documentary behind four Michael Moore movies and former Vice President Al Gore’s environmental film “An Inconvenient Truth.” It all adds up to a remarkable triumph for an indie film that circumvented the liberal waters of Hollywood.

BUSINESS AT A GLANCE

Notable

Orders to U.S. companies rose in July, reflecting a surge in demand for autos and commercial aircraft.

But in a troubling sign of manufacturing weakness, a key orders category that tracks business investment plans fell by the largest amount in eight months.

Factory orders rose 2.8 percent in July, the biggest overall advance in a year, reflecting sizable gains in demand for motor vehicles and airplanes, the Commerce Department said Friday.

But core capital goods orders, viewed as a good proxy for investment spending, plunged 4 percent, the fourth setback in the past five months.

The worry is that businesses have begun to scale back their plans to expand and modernize in the face of spreading economic weakness in Europe and such major U.S. export markets as China, Brazil and India.

JACKSON HOLE, WYO. — Chairman Ben Bernanke sent a clear message Friday that the Federal Reserve will do more to help the still-struggling U.S. economy.

His remarks left two questions: What exactly will the Fed do? And when?

Bernanke described the U.S. economy’s health as “far from satisfactory” and noted that Bernanke the unemployment rate, now 8.3 percent, hasn’t declined since January.

He stopped short of committing the Fed to any specific move. But in his speech to an annual Fed conference in Jackson Hole, Wyo., Bernanke said that even with interest rates already at superlows, the Fed can do more.

He acknowledged critics’ arguments that further Fed action could fan inflation and inject other risks.

Yet after raising such arguments, Bernanke proceeded to knock them down.

Some economists predict the Fed will unveil some bold new step as soon as its Sept. 12-13 meeting, possibly a third round of bond purchases meant to lower long-term interest rates and encourage more borrowing and spending.

That policy is called “quantitative easing,” or QE. In two rounds of QE, the Fed bought more than $2 trillion of Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities. Many investors have been hoping for a third round — a QE3.

further step along the path to more policy stimulus, most likely a third round of asset purchases (QE3) to be announced at the mid-September FOMC meeting,” said Paul Dales, senior U.S. economist at Capital Economics.

Others expect something less dramatic: a plan to keep short-term rates near zero into 2015 unless the economy improves, perhaps followed by bond purchases later.

In his speech, Bernanke assessed the economy’s weaknesses, defended the extraordinary steps the Fed has taken to date and insisted it can do more.

Investors took time to digest Bernanke’s speech but in the end seemed pleased.

After his remarks were released Friday morning , the Dow Jones industrial average shed some of its earlier gains. Then it rose more than 100 points. It closed up about 90 points, or 0.7 percent.

Bernanke acknowledged that the Fed is operating in essentially uncharted territory. Traditionally, central banks stimulate weak economies by pushing down short-term rates. In December 2008, the Fed slashed such rates to record lows. Yet even with short-term rates as low as they can go, the economy still needs help.

Central banks can take “nontraditional” measures when they’ve run out of conventional ammunition.

And under Bernanke the Fed has tried many.

Even if the Fed does act further, many analysts doubt it would make much difference. Interest rates, both short- and long-term, are near historic lows. Borrowing — for those who have the credit — has never been cheaper. Yet the economy remains in a rut.
