Board’s goals outlined for bond issue ———

Officials look to improve elementaries, technology and career education

The Lawrence school board is working on a bond issue, set to go to public vote in April.

Committees are still formulating details of what it will entail — and how much it will cost — but three overall goals have emerged.

That is, three goals for what they want in the bond issue; a fourth clear goal is how they want to get it passed: without raising taxes.

In open meetings and interviews, board members and district administration have outlined three basic goals for what they’d like to see:

“Revamping” elementary schools

Improving technology throughout the district

Bolstering career educaDoll tion for high schoolers The emphasis in planning so far is on the elementary schools, which will form the bulk of the cost and work of the issue.

“The main focus is getting our elementary schools to an adequate — even exceptional — level for 21st century learning,” Superintendant Rick Doll said.

$24.5 million grant to establish national special education center

By Matt Erickson merickson@ljworld.com

The largest grant ever received by Kansas University will establish a national center aiming to transform the way children with disabilities are taught in America’s schools, KU officials announced Wednesday.

The $24.5 million, fiveyear grant awarded to KU’s Life Span Institute by the U.S. Department of Education will create the Technical Assistance Center for Inclusive School-Wide Reform.

“It is a remarkable investment in the University of Kansas and the work that we KANSAS do in special education,” UNIVERSITY said Tim Caboni, KU’s vice chancellor for public affairs.

Wayne Sailor, a professor of special education based at the Life Span Institute, will serve as the lead investigator for the grant project. He said the project would be based on research he and others

had conducted for about 20 years, which shows that students with disabilities are better off when they’re taken out of separate special education classrooms and placed alongside other students.

Since a federal law in the 1970s established special education programs in the country’s schools, those students have been segregated in separate classrooms, Sailor said. And research shows that model does not work, he said.

“That’s a model that

TOPEKA — Retiring Speaker Mike O’Neal will go from leading the Kansas House chamber to leading the Kansas Chamber of Commerce.

O’Neal, R-Hutchinson, has been hired as president and chief executive officer of the business organization, it was announced Wednesday.

During the last legislative session, O’Neal pushed through the House massive business tax cuts that were supported by the Kansas Chamber and Gov. Sam Brownback.

“While serving in the Kansas House, Mike has been a strong probusiness voice and advocate,” said

the system to others in their districts, then to other districts in their state. And if the program performs well, it could be renewed at the end of the five-year period, Sailor said, allowing it to spread the system to other states.

Eventually — and this would take many, many years, Sailor said — he would like the program to help transform schools across the country. The program will focus only on students in kindergarten through eighth grade, though.

Other ideas the center will push for include increased engagement with students’ parents and the use of all school workers, from custodians to librarians, for educational purposes rather than just teachers.

The grant will only further distinguish KU’s topranked special education department, said Caboni — who previously was an associate dean at the education school of Vanderbilt University, one of KU’s chief competitors in special education.

“It says if one is interested in special-education inclusion and interventions, then the best place in the nation to do that work is the University of Kansas,” Caboni said.

most board members say that the bond proposal will include a flat mill levy — no more or less taxes than those assessed this year.

“We’re doing our best to be responsible stewards of their money,” Kimball said about taxpayers.

DORIS MAE VAN GARSSE Doris Mae Van Garsse, 85, of Mission, passed away Tuesday, September 25, 2012 at her home with her loving husband and family by her side. Mass of Christian Burial will be 10:00 a.m. Saturday, September 29 at St. Pius X Catholic Church; 5500 Woodson; Mission, Kansas.

Visitation will be 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. Saturday at the church, a rosary will be prayed at 9:45 a.m.

Burial will follow Mass at Resurrection Catholic Cemetery in Lenexa. The family suggests memorial contributions be made to the church or to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society; P.O. Box 4072; Pittsfield, MA 01202. Doris was born March 30, 1927 to the late John and Elizabeth Burke in Chicago, Illinois.

On September 24, 1949 Doris married Leopold Van Garsse in Chicago, Illinois, and they moved to Mission, KS in 1956. Doris was an active member of St. Pius X Catholic Church where she was a member of St. Bernadette’s Women’s Circle and was active with the St. Pius PTO for over 50 years and served as a Eucharistic Minister. Doris worked as a Secretary for the Archdiocese of Kansas City, Kansas for over 15 years. She was a very loving and caring person and enjoyed volunteering her time with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

Doris was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother.

Her greatest legacy was her family, and she loved putting on “Command Performances” that were mandatory for all family members.

She never missed a Christmas morning with her children and grandchildren. On St. Patrick’s Day the family home was filled with the smell of Doris’s traditional Irish meal of corned beef and cabbage,

teaching together, he said, with one teaching at the front of the classroom and another circulating to talk with students individually. Students with more severe disabilities might exit the class for a short time to work with a speech therapist or a paraprofessional, then return.

Sailor said research and experience suggested the system benefits not only special education students but also other students who might now receive more specialized instruction in some areas.

“We think it’s actually a better way of doing education across the board,” Sailor said.

To try to spread that system, the new center will hire a force of technical assistants that will spread across the country — accounting for the bulk of the project’s cost.

“This is a pretty laborintensive project,” Sailor said.

During the first year, those assistants will visit schools where the inclusion model is already practiced. Starting in the second year, they will spread out to a total of 64 schools in four states, in a mixture of rural and urban areas, to train educators on how to implement the new system.

The goal will be for those schools to spread

doesn’t work,” Sailor said.

“We basically have been doing special education the same way in 2012 that we did in 1974,” Sailor said.

The project will involve KU’s Center for Research on Learning and its special education department along with the Life Span Institute — as well as a group of other universities and organizations from throughout the country.

The project will concentrate on the concept of inclusion, Sailor said — the teaching of specialeducation students and other students side-byside in grade-level classrooms. Sailor has helped implement such a system in schools in a few cities across the country, including New Orleans and Washington, D.C. Rather than separating students into regular and special-education classrooms, Sailor said, those schools evaluate students individually to determine what kind of education they might need.

In an elementary classroom in one of these schools, one might see a grade-level teacher and a special education teacher

Timeline At the board meeting Monday, Doll said Gould Evans would begin giving weekly reports of the planning process.

They’re continuing to interview teachers and staff, he said, and “community engagement,” or holding open meetings about proposals, will begin next month.

The board and staff have set the end of the calendar year as their deadline for a refined plan, with January and April being their campaign season to get support before an election.

If it were to pass in April, it would affect schools beginning in the 2014-15 school year.

Challenges The last bond election was in April 2005, and several board members acknowledged that frustration with its results would be a challenge in getting this bond issue passed.

“People feel they didn’t get what they thought they voted for,” Ingram said, “but none of the current board voted to do that, and we’re aware that we need to be transparent; it’s about regaining trust.”

They say they’re aware of financial concern, too.

If the bond issue doesn’t pass, the mill levy — and thus, property taxes — would almost certainly go down.

But supporters of the bond say that elementary school improvements are needed, and this year is the time to make them.

“We have to invest in our future,” Doll said. “We can do better for these kids.”

2ND CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT

Candidates argue over big-business interests

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Tobias Schlingensiepen, the Democratic candidate for the 2nd Congressional District, on Wednesday accused incumbent U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins, RTopeka, of taking money from big business interests and doing their bidding. Jenkins’ campaign said Schlingensiepen was “playing politics.”

At a news conference, Schlingensiepen, a Topeka pastor, said, “Congresswoman Jenkins has taken hundreds of thousands of dollars from banks and insurance companies, and she has repeatedly voted

against the 2nd District, and for the interests of these wealthy corporations.”

As an e x a m p l e , Schlingensiepen Schlingensiepen said Jenkins voted against the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which was signed into law by President Barack Obama in 2010.

Supporters of the law say it gives the government the necessary tools to avoid future bailouts and prevent banks and other financial companies

from cheating consumers on mortgages, credit cards and other products.

M a n y RepubliJenkins cans oppose the law. This summer, Jenkins called it a “regulatory nightmare” that has “slowed the credit lifeline that is vital to the creation and survival of American small businesses.”

Covered patios among trends in upcoming Fall Parade of Homes

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Area residents will have a chance to check out the latest in home trends at this weekend’s Fall Parade of Homes, and organizers are suggesting visitors look beyond the usual amenities.

Yes, granite counter tops — in kitchens, in bathrooms, in a little bit of everywhere — will be evident. Same for hardwood floors and stainless steel appliances.

But tour participants may want to spend a little bit of time looking at what’s outside the home.

Covered patios and covered decks are becoming a big deal with home buyers.

“Buyers are just continuing to insist on being able to use that outside area as more usable living space,” said Bobbie Flory, director of the Lawrence Home Builders Association. “They don’t want a little bit of rain to stop

them from being outside.”

Area builders will have 11 houses on display as part of the annual tour, which runs from noon to five on Saturday and Sunday and also on Oct. 6 and Oct. 7. A complete list of addresses and homes, which range in prices from $164,900 to $372,500, can be found at lawrenceparade.com.

Surgeons at KU Hospital able to save 2 lives with 1 liver KANSAS CITY, KAN. (AP) — Pamela Lawson had been on the list for a liver transplant since July, waiting for doctors at the Kansas University Hospital to call.

At 1 a.m. Saturday, the phone rang. The hospital had a liver, but there was a catch: It was too large to fit into Lawson’s 5-feet 4-inch, 129-pound body.

So her doctors had decided they would try an operation they said was a first for the Kansas City region. They would cut the liver in two, putting one lobe in Lawson and the other in another small woman needing a healthy liver.

supporters said was aimed at restricting bonuses to executives of bailed-out banks, and imposing a surtax on executive bonuses paid with taxpayer money.

Roe said Jenkins voted against those measures “for exactly the same reason she opposes bailouts. She believes that the federal government has no business bailing out failing companies or telling any private sector employer how much they can pay and who they can pay it to.”

Meanwhile, the Kansas Republican Party circulated a video of Schlingensiepen speaking in July about his education background and degree from Kansas University. “So, I’m now officially branded as an elitist by the opposition.

The four-bedroom home has four bathrooms, with one bathroom off of each bedroom.

“Usually I would just do three bathrooms in a house that size, but I think this is really what people want,” Dannevik said.

Organizers of the tour are hoping more than just bathrooms will be in ample supply. They’re also optimistic more buyers will be attracted to the tour.

The latest numbers from the Lawrence Board of Realtors show home sales in the city have increased for five straight months.

“It is definitely not gangbusters yet, but the reports from the Realtors have been really good signs that things are starting to move,” Flory said.

Dannevik, who also does some work in the Kansas City market, said he’s optimistic even larger gains will be made in Lawrence as interest rates continue to drop.

“The Kansas City market is doing really well right now, and I think that will follow to Lawrence,” Dannevik said.

“With interest rates so reasonable, you probably can buy a $300,000 house for what you could buy a $250,000 house a few years ago.”

chance,” Lawson said Tuesday from her hospital bed at KU. “I’ve had my suitcase packed for months.”

She confessed, though, that she’d said more than once to her husband, Roger, that a 64-year-old great-grandmother didn’t stand much of a chance of getting the donor call with so many people, some of them children, waiting for transplants.

“I feel very, very lucky.”

Splitting a liver when an adult organ becomes available and a child needs one is not uncommon. Transplant centers across the country have been doing that procedure for years, said Joel Newman, a spokesman for the United Network for Organ Sharing, a national allocation system that manages the donor-recipient connection. Many centers also do split-liver transplants from one adult to two adults fairly regularly. Last year, more than 200 splitliver transplants were done across the country.

“It is a means, even if it is not increasing the donor supply, of reducing the wait for a transplant,” Newman

. #64*/&44 t 45"5&

said. “Multiple transplants can be done, so it’s a way of getting the most possible transplants out of the existing donor supply.”

Newman said it is not uncommon for a person to wait as long as two years for a transplant. The sickest patients go to the top of the list.

During the two-hour drive to the hospital that morning from her home in Salina, Lawson got nervous.

“Let’s just turn around and go home,” she told her husband.

“We were both just sick with nerves,” Roger Lawson said. “I told her, ‘No way. You got me up at 1 a.m. We are going.’”

His wife had been sick with liver cancer since December 2011. The cancer was a result of Hepatitis C, which Lawson had lived with for decades. She thinks she contracted the viral disease from a blood transfusion after a car wreck when she was 18. It attacked her system in early 2000. By the time she got on the transplant list, “my liver was shot,” Lawson said. “There wasn’t much of it left.”

When her name and the name of the second transplant recipient popped up on the list, Kumer and Schmitt knew right away the liver they had was much too large

to fit whole in either woman.

“We had gotten a highquality liver,” Kumer said.

“That lends well to being split.”

The donor was a young man “probably weighing twice as much as either of the women and maybe about a foot taller,” Schmitt said.

Scalpel in hand, Schmitt cut the triangle-shaped liver in two. He was careful to be sure each woman would get enough of the organ — a person needs a liver 1.8 percent of their body weight — and that each lobe had good vessels for blood flow in and out, as well as bile drainage.

Schmitt said the risks associated with split-liver surgery are for the most part the same as any other liver transplant surgery.

“Both patients should do just fine as long as they take care of their organ — taking their medicines and doing their labs. The organ will take care of them.”

Last year, the KU Hospital did 91 liver transplants and more than 100 kidney transplants. It also transplants pancreases.

“The next thing for us is a living donor transplant,” in which surgeons remove the small lobe of someone’s liver to give to a child, Schmitt said.

Arts commission to seek federal grant TOPEKA — The new Kansas Creative Arts Industries Commission plans to apply for federal funding that would replace some money lost last year when the state’s art commission lost funding.

The commission says it will apply for National Endowment for the Arts funding.

Before Gov. Sam Brownback defunded the arts commission last year, Kansas received about $1.2 million in arts money from the NEA and Mid-American Arts Alliance. It spent about $700,000 a year on the arts.

The Wichita Eagle reports the application to the NEA is due Oct. 1, and the NEA would likely decide in January. That would potentially provide Kansas with arts money in July 2013.

OPINION

LAWRENCE JOURNAL-WORLD LJWorld.com Thursday, September 27, 2012

EDITORIALS

Welcome improvement Any negatives of a new South Lawrence Trafficway interchange are far outweighed by the positives of this project for Lawrence residents and visitors.

A

new South Lawrence Trafficway interchange at Bob Billings Parkway may inconvenience a few area residents both during and after construction, but there are many, many more community residents who will welcome the addition of this access point to the city.

At a public meeting earlier this week, engineers with the Kansas Department of Transportation unveiled more detailed plans for the $17 million interchange. Those plans include many features that will contribute to safety and convenience at the site. The design calls for Bob Billings Parkway to be extended to a six-lane bridge over the trafficway, which also is designated as Kansas Highway 10. That includes four standard lanes and two left-turn lanes. Traffic signals to accommodate left turns onto the trafficway access ramps will be added later as traffic increases.

The bridge will include bicycle lanes and sidewalks with pedestrian-friendly railings on both sides of the bridge. A bike lane that runs alongside the trafficway will be rerouted under the bridge where it won’t intersect with Bob Billings Parkway, which turns into North 1500 Road west of the SLT. Engineers estimate the interchange will be completed

by November 2015.

It’s understandable that residents on and near Bob Billings and perhaps some west of the SLT are concerned about the additional traffic the new interchange will produce, but the advantages of the interchange far outweigh the disadvantages. Bob Billings Parkway is a four-lane thoroughfare capable of handling the additional traffic. The route will provide easier access to residential and business developments on the west side of Lawrence as well as to Kansas University’s West Campus and main campus.

This access point was envisioned as part of the original design of the SLT, so residents shouldn’t be surprised it is being built. The fact that it and the eastern leg of the trafficway now are being funded and prepared for construction is cause for celebration in Lawrence. The access the new road and interchanges will provide for Lawrence will be a convenience for Lawrence residents and visitors as well as a boon for business interests. It’s good to see those projects moving forward.

Iran president still calmly combative NEW YORK — Iran may be on the firing line, but President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was as calmly combative as ever over the weekend, dismissing Israel’s military threats and predicting that nothing will happen in the nuclear talks until after the U.S. presidential elections.

In an interview during his visit to the United Nations, Ahmadinejad seemed unfazed by recent months of speculation about bombing strikes or by the precarious state of Tehran’s allies in Damascus. Instead, he talked often about politics — including a reference to what he saw as the war-weariness of the American public.

The hourlong conversation was a case study in the bob-and-weave style that has made Ahmadinejad a survivor in Iranian politics and a particular nemesis for critics in the U.S., Israel and the Arab world. While he expressed a willingness to negotiate on a range of subjects, he retreated into generalities when pressed about details.

His tone was calm, even in discussing a potential clash with Israel.

“We, generally speaking, do not take very seriously the issue of the Zionists and the possible dangers emanating from them,” he said early in the interview. “Of course, they would love to find a way for their own salvation by making a lot of noise and to raise stakes in order to save themselves. But I do not believe they will succeed.”

“

But in this third interview I’ve had with the Iranian president, I had the sense that he genuinely believes the world is going Iran’s way.”

Asked if he thought Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was bluffing in his threats to strike Iranian nuclear facilities, the Iranian president said he agreed with such a view and asserted that this analysis was a “common consensus.”

Ahmadinejad’s bland selfassurance is partly a matter of style, for no politician ever wants to display weakness before his adversaries. But in this third interview I’ve had with the Iranian president, I had the sense that he genuinely believes the world is going Iran’s way. He sees an America that is facing reversals across the Muslim world — in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and most recently, in dealing with the Arab uprisings. Close U.S. allies such as Egypt’s Hosni Mubarak are gone, and Ahmadinejad is still standing.

In discussing Iran’s negotiations with the international group known as the P5+1, Ahmadinejad said Iran was willing to make a deal to limit its stockpile of enriched uranium. But he implied that the Obama administration wants to slow the negotiations down until after the November election, to avoid bargaining concessions that might embarrass the president.

“We have always been ready and we are ready” to make a deal that will address the P5+1’s concerns, he said.

“But experience has shown that important and key decisions are not made in the U.S. leading up to national elections.”

Ahmadinejad observed at another point in the conversation: “I do believe that some conversations and key issues must be talked about again once we come out of the other end of the political election atmosphere in the United States.”

In talking about America, Ahmadinejad several times referred to a country that, in his words, is tired of “backbreaking expenses” of foreign wars and where public opinion is trending against Israel.

“Will the people of the U.S. accept meddling and intervention in the affairs of others?” he mused at one point, before answering his own question. “I don’t believe so. I believe the people of the U.S. are peace-loving people.”

Ahmadinejad said Iran is

eager to help broker deals to end fighting in Syria and Afghanistan. On Syria, which has been Iran’s Arab ally, he said he supported transitional elections for a new government. Asked if President Bashar al-Assad should be a candidate, he answered this was for Syrians to decide.

It was hard to read whether this represented any step away from Assad.

On Afghanistan, the Iranian leader claimed he had no knowledge of a February 2011 invitation to Tehran for U.S. special representative Marc Grossman. But he in effect renewed the offer, saying that after the U.S. elections, Iran was ready for direct discussions with the United States about how to stabilize Afghanistan.

The most intractable subject in any conversation with Ahmadinejad is Israel, and this discussion was no different. Pressed why he continued to make comments that Israelis regarded as hate speech, he parried back with a series of questions about Israeli occupation of Arab territory.

Asked to affirm Israel’s existence, he wouldn’t.

Ahmadinejad’s term as president will end next year, so in theory this is probably his last visit to New York as Iran’s leader. But it seems unlikely that this veteran counter-puncher will disappear from Iranian politics, or the world stage, without a fight.

There was no school at Haskell yesterday afternoon and the entire school came in to spend the day at the Park and the Fair.”

In defense of America’s 47 percent Sharkara Peters is a 35-year-old single mother of two. She works 34 hours a week at a fast-food restaurant. A few months back, she was hospitalized with a blood clot in her lung. Then, one of her daughters needed surgery. As a result, Peters lost about three weeks of work, and could not muster her $335 monthly rent. When I met her last month while in Charlotte reporting on poverty on the eve of the Democratic National Convention, she was facing eviction.

I asked Peters what President Obama should do for people in her economic situation and she answered without hesitation. Obama, she said, needs to do something about girls on welfare that just sit up and have baby after baby and never try to better themselves.

You see, nobody likes freeloaders.

The point is made for the benefit of Mitt Romney. Of course, he’d likely consider Peters herself a freeloader.

I’ve not seen her W-2, but it seems a safe bet that, working less than full time for fastfood wages, she doesn’t pay much if anything in federal income taxes. Romney was heard last week in a secretlyrecorded video disparaging the 47 percent of Americans

Leonard Pitts Jr.

“

lpitts@miamiherald.com

Romney’s remarks, then, are of a piece with a narrative — poverty as character defect — favored by many who know exactly jack about the reality of poverty …”

— low-income earners like Peters, Social Security recipients and others — that he says pay no taxes. Speaking before a room full of wellheeled donors in Boca Raton, Fla., who had paid $50,000 a plate for some face time with him, the Republican presidential nominee described those non-taxpayers with contempt as people “who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims …”

In the video, posted online by the liberal magazine Mother Jones, Romney says it’d be a waste of time pitch-

ing his campaign to those moochers: “I’ll never convince them that they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives.”

Sharkara Peters does not need Mitt Romney’s lectures about personal responsibility.

Nor does George Farmer, 61, who became homeless when he was diagnosed with prostate cancer and could no longer drive his truck. Nor does Michelle, an unemployed appliance repair technician trying to raise four girls on $694 a month plus food stamps. Nor do most of the invisible poor, the cashiers and servers, floor moppers and burger flippers whose annual income probably wouldn’t cover maintenance on one of Romney’s car elevators.

If the gaffe concretizes the caricature of an out-of-touch rich guy, a cognac-swilling peer of Thurston Howell III, Charles Emerson Winchester and Montgomery Burns, it’s important to remember that Romney is hardly alone in his sentiments. No, he spoke against a backdrop of vitriol against the have-nots in our society. They are called animals by Ann Coulter, takers

by Michelle Malkin, accused of laziness by Rush Limbaugh. Fox “News” person Charles Payne laments the “entitlement mentality” un-

der which they fail to even be properly “embarrassed” by their poverty.

For the record, I gave you no surname for Michelle, the single mother referenced above, precisely because she was too embarrassed to let me use it.

Romney’s remarks, then, are of a piece with a narrative — poverty as character defect — favored by many who know exactly jack about the reality of poverty, but who have discovered that demonizing the faceless poor, giving us someone new to resent and blame, is good politics.

They wrap their attacks in rags of righteousness and pretensions of pragmatism, but there is something viscerally wrong, morally shrunken, in a nation where the most fortunate are encouraged to treat the least fortunate as some enemy race.

So the big story here is not about what damage Romney did to his campaign. Yes, the fact that he used condemnation of the poor as a lever of political advantage shames him.

But the very fact that the lever exists shames us all.

THE GIERINGERS ORCHARD, NEAR EDGERTON, will be on the Kaw Valley Farm Tour the weekend of Oct. 6. Pictured in their blackberry field, which will produce fruit next year and be a you-pick crop for customers, from left are owners Frank and Melanie Gieringer and their son, Brice Wiswell.

Farm tour includes new participants T

he Kaw Valley Farm Tour operates on a simple concept: It’s a self-guided tour that gives you a chance to meet people who have dedicated their lives to producing food, fiber and plants for the rest of us to enjoy.

The tour is all about the experience — hayrack rides, picking apples, climbing giant bales of hay and getting up-close and personal with alpacas, cows, pigs and goats, if you choose.

Twenty-two area farms are participating in this year’s eighth annual tour, meaning that they are opening their doors to you from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Oct. 6 and 7. The farmers (and their families and friends) will be on hand to talk about their farm practices and help you get to know a little about farm life.

Gieringers Orchard, 39675 W. 183rd St., Edgerton, is a tour stop for the first time this year.

Frank and Melanie Gieringer, and their son, Brice Wiswell, who own and operate the orchard, will be giving tours of their 1,000-plus peach trees, pick-your-own blackberries and just-planted strawberry field that will be open for picking your own next spring. The strawberry field contains just over 16,000 plants.

Gieringers Orchard also produces tomatoes and sweet corn that are done for this year, but visitors likely will be able to see the last of the pep-

per plants growing in one of the family’s four high tunnels.

Frank says he grew up as a “city boy” but liked working outside and wanted to farm. He started out raising pigs, expanded to corn and soybeans, then planted peach trees in 2001.

“We moved around a lot when I was a kid, so we never had any trees of any size,” Frank says. “I always wanted to live somewhere where I could have a few around, and fruit trees fascinated me for some reason.”

The Gieringers have tried to add something new to their production each year, which has led to the other produce.

They sell their fruit and vegetables at the Olathe and Overland Park Farmers’ Markets and from their on-farm store during the summer. They also come to the Lawrence Farmers’ Market with their peaches when the fruit is in season.

The Gieringers say they see a lot of grandparents coming

out with grandchildren during pick-your-own season, and they like the idea of being able to re-introduce children to something so important to our existence. Their son, Wiswell, also has a great appreciation for what the farm life has to offer and quit his “city” job this year to manage the farm with his parents.

“I worked for a drafting and design company, but I was always thinking about what I should be doing out on the farm,” says Wiswell. “I didn’t like it as a kid, but when I got older I realized what I really had.”

Just up the road from Gieringers is another newcomer to the Kaw Valley Farm Tour: White Tail Run Winery, 2327 N. 400 Road, Edgerton. White Tail’s owner, Dan Fuller, makes wine produced from grapes grown on his farm

and will be giving tours of the vineyard during the farm tour.

“We’ll have the vineyard equipment out and walk through the vineyard so people can see how we prune and train the grapes and why,” Fuller says.

Visitors will also learn about the winemaking process and can visit the tasting room, which just opened this summer.

Fuller says he had dreamed of having a vineyard for years and was finally able to fulfill his wish after retirement. His first grapevines were planted in 2003, but abundant deer in the area (for whom the winery is named) ate the vines until he was able to install a deer fence in 2005. White Tail produced its first wines in 2010 and began selling through liquor stores before building their own tasting room.

Tour tickets are $10 per carload, and the ticket admits your traveling party into all 22 farms for both days of the tour.

Most people pick up tickets in advance and select four to five farms to visit over the weekend so they can enjoy each stop.

Proceeds from ticket sales cover the cost of ticket printing, signs and other expenses associated with organizing the tour.

Advance tickets for the tour are available at The Merc, 901 Iowa; Lawrence Visitors’ Center, 402 N. Second St.; Cottin’s Hardware & Rental, 1832 Mass.; K-State Research and Extension—Douglas County, 2110 Harper St.; the Downtown Lawrence Farmers’ Market; and online at kawvalleyfarmtour.org. Tickets are also available at all participating farms the weekend of the tour.

The Kaw Valley Farm Tour is a joint initiative of The Merc, Community Mercantile Education Foundation, K-State Research and Extension—Douglas County, Lawrence Convention and Visitors’ Bureau and local farmers.

For more information, visit the Kaw Valley Farm Tour website or contact the Lawrence Convention and Visitors’ Bureau at 785-856-5282.

KOVEL’S ANTIQUES

Vintage representations of technology rare finds

By Terry Kovel

THIS MEDICAL EXAMINING CHAIR was made in the 1880s. It sold for $475 at a Skinner auction in Boston in 2011. Medical antiques, in addition to other pieces of furniture representing technology, are hard to find.

about 56 inches high.

Nineteenth-century medical chairs are not often sold. This one brought $475.

Would you buy a 1930 permanent-wave machine with a chair hood and dangling cords? Would you put a 1940s washing machine in your living room near a wall of polished steel school lockers?

Few pieces of furniture representing technology (rather than decorative arts) have survived, but all of the ones we mentioned have sold at recent auctions.

soms. The set includes four cups and 3 1/4-inch-diameter saucers, a 3 1/2-inch teapot, and a sugar and creamer. Some of the pieces are marked “Made in Japan.”

There’s not a chip anywhere. Age and value?

Many lusterware children’s tea sets were made in Japan during the 1930s. Your set was probably made then, or perhaps as early as the late 1920s. Your set is a small one, without plates.

It would sell for about $35 to $50.

Sometimes an unusual piece of furniture is offered for sale, and many collectors fight over it.

A “Dr. Byrne’s Medical Examination Chair” was offered by Skinner Auctioneers of Boston. The odd chair was clearly labeled with its name and the maker, S. Betz & Co. of Chicago.

The red-painted steel chair also was marked on the footrests with the maker’s name and the words “Model 1901 Prof. A.H. Ferguson.” The chair has Q: I have an original levers to adjust the back, My child-size green Woodstock poster in mint footrest and height, and it lusterware tea set condition. What is it worth? can be flattened to use as is decorated with A: The famous Wooda table with stirrups. It is white and pink flower blos- stock Music and Art Fair

was held near White Lake, N.Y., in 1969. The festival is considered one of the most important moments in American music history.

The best-known Woodstock poster was designed

by Arnold Skolnick and came in two sizes, 18 inches by 24 inches and 32 inches by 24 inches. It was printed on either heavy cardstock or very thin paper, and features a white dove perched on the neck of a guitar on a red background.

The true “original” poster was designed by David Edward Byrd and shows a nude woman surrounded by cupids and flowers. When the location of the festival was changed,

Byrd was on vacation and unreachable, so Skolnick was commissioned to create the new poster.

Woodstock memorabilia are popular collectibles.

An original Byrd poster in excellent condition recently auctioned for $468.

The Skolnick version in near-mint condition sold for $1,156. But beware — many reproductions exist.

Tip: Store your card albums flat, not upright. This prevents your baseball cards or old valentines from getting bent or damaged.

Check the album periodically to make sure the pages are not sticking together. If you notice any problems, replace the pages.

Firebirds to hold the lines vs. SMN

By Benton Smith

KANSAS BASKETBALL

Shooting star

basmith@ljworld.com

The Free State High football team’s coaches and players noticed a significant difference in one critical area last week, and the change wasn’t a good one.

Though the Firebirds defeated Olathe North, 34-28, coach Bob Lisher thought the offensive line struggled and didn’t react when O-North’s defense attacked.

The offensive linemen — seniors Riley Buller and Cody Stanclift, and juniors Fred Wyatt, Tyler Sampson and Reid Buckingham — noticed the disapSHOWING pointing step b a c k w a r d , SOME FIRE too. Center Buckingham Who: Free said he and State (3-1) the other vs. Shawl i n e m e n nee Mission weren’t even North (0-4) coming off When: 7 the ball cor- tonight rectly.

Where: SMN “The first District Stathree games, dium the O-line didn’t do a horrible job, but we knew we needed to get better,” Buckingham said.

“Something about last week, we just were not on the same page at all.”

The Firebirds (3-1) will attempt to resolve their issues against Shawnee Mission North (0-4) tonight at 7 at SMN District Stadium.

Buckingham said the FSHS coaches have insisted that the linemen start playing with greater physicality on both sides of the ball, not just tonight, but for the rest of the season. The center said the Firebirds have to get their O-North performance out of their system.

“We moved the ball pretty well on offense, but it made the running backs’ and receivers’ jobs a lot more difficult,” he said, “because we weren’t performing like we should have on the offensive line.”

Senior Free State defensive back Demarko Bobo said other issues that arose in last week’s win need to be addressed, as well.

WICHITA NORTH SENIOR AND KANSAS UNIVERSITY RECRUIT CONNER FRANKAMP WORKS OUT nearly every day after school with his father, Marty, at Pleasant Valley Middle School in Wichita. Marty teaches at the school and, according to Conner, has been instrumental in making him the local basketball phenom that he is today.

Future KU guard Frankamp continues rise to prep elite

By Jesse Newell jnewell@ljworld.com

WICHITA — With the scoreboard clock running, Marty Frankamp fires a pass to his son.

“Forty seconds left,” Marty says. “No more misses.”

Conner — a senior at Wichita North High School and a Kansas University basketball commit — doesn’t say a word.

He catches the pass and puts up a three from the left wing.

Swish.

Just 45 minutes earlier, Conner had driven his beige Honda Civic — it now has a small silver Jayhawk on the back — a few minutes from North High to Pleasant Valley Middle School.

A couple months ago, after years of prodding from Marty, the middle school finished up

its new gym, which includes dark blue paint and a freshgym smell to go with it.

On this Wednesday in midSeptember, Conner is continuing to break in the nets.

He works out nearly every day after school with his dad, who has taught P.E. classes for more than 20 years at the middle school.

The clock is down below 6 seconds now, and Marty’s final pass catches Conner in a bad spot on his hand.

Conner shakes his hand for a second — just a slightly jammed finger —and puts up his final shot from the left corner.

Nothing but net. His 11th in a row.

The 50-minute workout doesn’t stop there. It also includes ball-handling drills, where Conner weaves his

way through 10 orange cones on the opposite side of the court, sometimes avoiding the obstacles despite dribbling behind his back.

It also includes stepback twos, where Conner dances like a boxer, jabbing a step in before taking two quick steps back to shoot 18-footers.

Most of these drills are to help him for the upcoming high school season, where Conner needs just 592 points — or about 28 points per game — to top current KU player Perry Ellis’ all-time City League scoring record.

Marty also is looking to the future. There’s a drill where Conner passes it to him in the post, then relocates in the corner for a three. Or the one where, at game speed, Conner catches the ball on the run, sets his feet and shoots a

three (Conner makes all nine of those before Marty decides to switch to something else).

Both of those are to prepare Conner for when he’s in Lawrence — “college shots” as Marty likes to call them.

The goal is to make 400 shots per day, and though this workout is a bit shorter than normal, Marty guesses afterwards that Conner only missed about 25 shots.

Every shot was from at least 15 feet. And at least two-thirds of them were threes.

Marty says it’s about an average shooting day for his son.

“I don’t even think he’s shooting that good right now,” Marty says. “And he doesn’t, either. He just thinks he’s off just a little bit.”

KANSAS VOLLEYBALL

Hopes high for KU Jayhawks top No. 19 Cyclones non-revenue sports

By Jesse Newell

jnewell@ljworld.com

Kansas University volleyball coach Ray Bechard says he hasn’t talked to his team much this season about national rankings.

That conversation might have to come shortly after the Jayhawks knocked off No. 19 Iowa State, 25-19, 25-16, 23-25, 23-25, 15-9, on Wednesday night at Horejsi Center.

“If we keep winning, I guess they can’t keep us out,” Bechard said of the national rankings. “But we’re making a pretty strong case.”

KU, which received votes this past week and was three spots away from cracking the top 25, improved to 14-2 and defeated its first ranked opponent since Sept. 10 of last season.

“As I tell people, they say, ‘Hey, you’re off to a good start,’ and I keep telling people this team is different,” John Young/Journal-World Photo Bechard said. “We’re going KANSAS UNIVERSITY’S TIANA DOCKERY SLAMS A SHOT over the outstretched to continue to prove that.

A call went against the Kansas University volleyball team Wednesday night in its match against No. 19 Iowa State and KU basketball coach Bill Self, seated next to director of basketball operations Doc Sadler, slapped the table in front of him.

Basketball players Elijah Johnson, Naadir Tharpe and Justin Wesley sat in the stands on one side of the Horejsi Center, women’s hoops players Angel Goodrich, Carolyn Davis and Monica Engelman and football player Daymond Patterson on the other side.

Legendary former Lawrence High volleyball coach Joan Wells, inducted into more Halls of Fame than Elvis Presley had gold records, took in the match, as did former KU basketball players Bill Hougland, Harry Gibson and Roger Morningstar.

They all left happy and had reason to feel confident Kansas is headed for the top 25 for what would be the first time since it was No. 24 on Sept. 19, 2005, which also happened to be the same year the Jayhawks made the NCAA tournament.

“We had our Rock Chalk Choice awards a few weeks ago, recognizing the sports that did well,” senior Tayler Tolefree said.

Chiefs place center Hudson on IR KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Chiefs put center Rodney Hudson on injured reserve Wednesday with a broken bone in his left leg and signed offensive linemen Russ Hochstein and Bryan Mattison to provide depth.

The moves came one day after Kansas City put cornerback Jacques Reeves on IR. Chiefs coach Romeo Crennel said veteran guard Ryan Lilja will start at center on Sunday against

San Diego, and rookie Jeff Allen will take his place. It will be the same arrangement that Kansas City used once Hudson was hurt in last Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overtime victory in New Orleans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In this job, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what they tell you, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;There are going to be three things you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect to happen every day.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Not just every week, but every day.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Realâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; refs miss calls sometimes

NFL reaches tentative agreement with referees

By Rick Gosselin The Dallas Morning News

Umpire Don Denkinger blew a call at first base in Game 6 of the 1985 World Series that cost the St. Louis Cardinals a championship.

Baseball survived that blown call.

And football will survive the blown call â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or calls â&#x20AC;&#x201D; on the final play of Monday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game that gave the Seattle Seahawks a stunning upset over the Green Bay Packers.

An offensive pass interference was not flagged, and the wrong team was awarded the victory when a Green Bay interception was ruled a Seattle touchdown on a Hail Mary pass.

But I thought the wrong team won the New England-Oakland playoff game in 2001, when Tom Bradyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s late fumble was ruled an incomplete pass. That lack-of-common-sense ruling triggered the New England dynasty that decade.

Bad calls happen in sports.

Umpires, referees and officials are all human. They miss calls.

They blow calls. Players make mistakes. So do officials.

There seems to be a belief that once the union officials return, all that ails the NFL will be cured. Absence, obviously, has made the hearts of players and coaches grow fonder of the locked-out officials.

During my last five years as an NFL writer before becoming a columnist in 2011, all I heard from coaches â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and that would be â&#x20AC;&#x153;coachesâ&#x20AC;? plural â&#x20AC;&#x201D; was how bad the officiating was. How inconsistent the crews and calls were. Atrocious became a redundant word in those conversations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Worst Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever seen,â&#x20AC;? was another common refrain.

In 2008, Ed Hochuli, one of the most senior of referees, blew a call that cost the San Diego Chargers a game against the Denver Broncos. Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler fumbled at the Chargersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; goal line in the final two minutes. The Chargers recovered, but Hochuli ruled it an incomplete pass.

Replay officials overturned Hochuliâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s call, declaring it a fumble, but because of the dead-ball rules, the Broncos were able to maintain possession. Denver went on to score a touchdown and a two-point conversion, winning 39-38.

Football also survived Bill Leavyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blown call in the 2006 Super Bowl. Incredibly, his crew flagged Seattle quarterback Matt Hasselbeck for a low block on a tackle of Steelers cornerback Ike Taylor following an interception. That 15-yard assessment fueled a late game-clinching touchdown drive by the Steelers.

Would the union officials have ruled differently Monday night? Who knows? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen them miss what I considered obvious calls in the past. But the fact of the matter is union officials did not blow that call â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the replacement officials did.

Just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t assume that all the bad calls and noncalls will end once the replacement officials go away. Like the replacement officials, the union officials are human, too. Mistakes happen, as they did Monday night. They will continue to happen.

GREEN BAY PACKERS FAN MIKE LEPAK holds a sign Tuesday in front of Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wis., in protest of the NFLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s replacement officials.

That drew even louder howls of outrage.

Some coaches, including Miamiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Joe Philbin and Cincinnatiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Marvin Lewis, tried to restore some calm by instructing players not to speak publicly on the issue.

Fines against two coaches for incidents involving the replacements were handed out Wednesday.

New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick was docked $50,000 for trying to grab an officialâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arm Sunday to ask for an explanation of a call after his team lost at Baltimore. And Washington offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan was tagged for $25,000 for what the league called â&#x20AC;&#x153;abuse of officialsâ&#x20AC;? in the Redskinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; loss to Cincinnati on Sunday. Two other coaches, Denverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s John Fox and assistant Jack Del Rio, were fined Monday for incidents involving the replacements the previous week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I accept the discipline and I apologize for the incident,â&#x20AC;? Belichick said.

COMMENTARY

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The NFL and the refereesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; union reached a tentative contract agreement at 11 p.m. Wednesday, ending an impasse that began in June when the league locked out the officials and used replacements instead. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our officials will be back on the field starting tomorrow nightâ&#x20AC;? for the Cleveland-Baltimore game, Commissioner Roger Goodell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We appreciate the commitment of the NFLRA in working through the issues to reach this important agreement.â&#x20AC;?

With Goodell at the table, the sides concluded two days of talks with the announcement of a tentative eight-year deal, which must be ratified by 51 percent of the unionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 121 members. They plan to vote Friday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our Board of Directors has unanimously approved taking this proposed CBA to the membership for a ratification vote,â&#x20AC;? said Scott Green, president of the NFLRA. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are glad to be getting back on the field for this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s games.â&#x20AC;?

The replacements worked the first three weeks of games, triggering a wave of frustration that threatened to disrupt the rest of the season.

After a missed call cost the Green Bay Packers a win on a chaotic final play at Seattle on Monday night, the two sides really got serious.

The union was seeking improved salaries, retirement benefits and other logistical issues for the part-time officials.

The NFL has proposed a pension freeze and a higher 401(k) match, and it wants to hire 21 more officials to improve the quality of officiating. The union has fought that, fearing it could lead to a loss of jobs for some of the current officials, as well as a reduction in overall compensation.

The NFL claimed its offers have included annual pay increases that could earn an experienced official more than $200,000 annually by 2018. The NFLRA has disputed the value of the proposal, insisting it means an overall reduction in compensation.

Replacement refs arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t new to the NFL. They worked the first week of games in 2001 before a deal was reached. But those officials came from the highest level of college football; the current replacements do not. Their ability to call fast-moving NFL games drew mounting criticism through Week 3, climaxing last weekend, when ESPN analyst Jon Gruden called their work â&#x20AC;&#x153;tragic and comical.â&#x20AC;?

Those comments came during â&#x20AC;&#x153;Monday Night Football,â&#x20AC;? with Seattle beating Green Bay 14-12 on a desperation pass into the end zone on the final play. Packers safety M.D. Jennings had both hands on the ball in the end zone, and when he fell to the ground in a scrum, both Jennings and Seahawks receiver Golden Tate had their arms on the ball.

The closest official to the play, at the back of the end zone, signaled for the clock to stop, while another official at the sideline ran in and then signaled touchdown.

The NFL said in a statement Tuesday that the touchdown pass should not have been overturned â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but acknowledged Tate should have been called for offensive pass interference before the catch. The league also said there was no indisputable evidence to reverse the call made on the field.

KANSAS BASKETBALL NOTEBOOK

Former Jayhawk Arthur injured again

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Former Kansas University basketball forward Darrell Arthur of the Memphis Grizzlies, who sat out last season because of a torn right Achilles tendon, may miss s o m e g a m e s during the upcoming 2012-13 campaign because of a bro- Arthur ken bone in his left leg.

The Grizzlies announced Wednesday that the 6-foot-9, 24-year-old Arthur will be out of action four to six weeks after suffering a small, nondisplaced fracture in his left fibula while working out Monday. The fifthyear pro will be evaluated on a weekly basis. The team said he could return ahead of schedule if symptom-free.

Arthur averaged 9.1 points and 4.2 rebounds a game while playing in 80 games during the 2010-11 season, his last injury-free season in the league.

The victory also provided some revenge against Iowa State, which was the only Big 12 team to sweep the Jayhawks in two matches a season ago.

“We don’t like talking about last year,” KU junior outside hitter Catherine Carmichael said, “but also it’s one of those things where it gives you motivation to not lose like that again.”

Bechard admitted his team played “really good” the first two sets, which included a 9-1 run to end the second set.

Hopes CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

“As a team, you want to feel like you contributed to the success of the athletic department. We want to be up there.”

It’s happening. Already, Kansas has more victories against Top 50 RPI schools than it had all of last year.

In revival mode, the volleyball team is not alone on campus in that regard. Despite key injuries, women’s soccer is ranked No. 23 in the nation, its first top 25 appearance since the 2009 season.

Firebirds CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

“We didn’t come out as hot as we expected,” Bobo said, referring to a 14-7 halftime lead. “For the next game we need to come out more prepared mentally.”

And there’s an easy way to change that.

“It all starts in the locker room,” Bobo added, “not goofing around and focusing in on what you should be doing (in the game).”

Defensively, Free State will have junior free safety Joe Dineen back from injury tonight. Sophomore Joel Spain replaced Dineen versus O-North and Lisher said Spain played magnificently. The

O Jackson in Jazz camp: The Utah Jazz announced the signing of former KU forward Darnell Jackson to a free agent contract on Wednesday. Terms were not disclosed. It’s a non-guaranteed contract, contingent on his making the team. Currently, the roster stands at 19 players.

The 6-foot-9, 250-pound Jackson spent the 2011-12 season with BC Donetsk of the Ukraine-Superleague.

He appeared in 14 games in the Eurocup averaging 8.6 points and 3.6 rebounds while shooting 57.1 percent from the field. In 35 games in the Ukrainian League, he averaged 7.8 points and 4.9 rebounds in 17.7 minutes. Jackson also attended the 2012 NBA Las Vegas Summer League with the Sacramento Kings. He averaged 3.0 points and 4.0 rebounds in five games.

O Another Late Night visitor?: Joel Embiid, a 7-foot senior center from Rock School in Gainesville, Fla., tells Rivals.com he will likely attend the Oct. 12 Late Night in the Phog.

Embiid, who is unranked nationally, is considering KU, UCLA, Florida, Louisville and others.

Other seniors expected for Late Night: No. 23-rated Wayne Selden, 6-5 combo guard, Tilton (N.H.) School; No. 5-rated Aaron Gordon, 6-8 forward, Archibishop Mitty High, San Jose, Calif.; No. 29 Tyler Roberson, 6-8 forward, Roselle (N.J.) Catholic; and No. 43 Karviar Shepherd, 6-10 center, Dallas Prime Prep Academy.

O Peters update: No. 39-rated Roddy Peters, a 6-4 senior point guard from Suitland High in District Heights, Md., will visit UCLA on Oct. 5-7, Zagsblog.com reports. Peters, who visited Rutgers last weekend, also lists KU, Maryland, Xavier and Georgetown.

O Videos wanted: KU fans are asked to submit videos of their reaction to the end of any KU men’s game last season. The videos can be reactions from home, a relative or friend’s house, or at a sports bar. KU asks fans to upload their videos to YouTube, and send KU the links at kuathletics@ gmail.com. Videos will be played at Late Night. Information is available at kuathletics.com.

Iowa State rallied to tie it, 2-2, before Bechard gathered his team before the final set.

“We were getting a little bit hurried,” Bechard said.

“I said, ‘Let’s slow down, play the style we want to play.’”

The Jayhawks responded, jumping out to a 9-1 lead in the final set while also forcing two ISU timeouts.

“We’re a new team this year, and we have new confidence,” Carmichael said. “That was an absolute great win for us.”

Four KU players finished with at least 13 kills, including Tiana Dockery (14), Caroline Jarmoc (14), Sara McClinton (14) and Carmichael (13).

The true freshman Dockery added a doubledouble with 15 digs.

“That was really good volleyball,” Bechard said.

“I hope fans understood that was pretty highlevel. Obviously, I’m excited.”

ISU (7-5) had previously won six of its last seven matches, including 3-1 victory over then-No. 1 Nebraska on Sept. 15.

KU, which doesn’t play again until Tuesday at West Virginia, hasn’t been ranked since 2005.

“It would be really awesome, too, because we have been working hard,” Dockery said. “Our goal is to make it to the NCAA Tournament, and that’s what we plan to do.”

Bonnie Henrickson’s women’s basketball squad brings more confidence into the season than ever because it has all but one key performer back from last season’s bunch that made it to the Sweet 16 following the leadership of Goodrich, a March Madness national celebrity. Bigger crowds will mean a bigger homecourt advantage and this has the makings of Bonnie’s best Kansas team.

The KU women placed fourth in the country at the NCAA track and field championships and nearly every key athlete returns, including gold medalist Diamond Dixon.

For a change, Ritch Price didn’t experience

the deflating feeling of watching one (or more) of his recruits sign to play professional baseball.

Price’s entire rotation is back and he could have his deepest pitching staff in years.

In softball, recruiting appears on the uptick.

Third baseman Chanin Naudin earned secondteam All-Big 12 honors a year ago and 5-foot-1 freshman shortstop Chaley Brickey, like Naudin a Texas high school standout, is expected to make a huge immediate impact.

The Big 12, such a competitive conference, has a way of devouring hopes, but KU definitely has more going for it than in quite some time.

only problem was Spain had to make a lot of tackles.

“We weren’t getting it done sometimes with our front six,” Lisher said.

“Hopefully we can get that ironed out quickly, because Shawnee Mission North leads the league in rush offense.”

The Indians rushed for 279 yards Friday in a 46-

20 loss to Lawrence, with Jesse Patterson accounting for 162 yards and a TD. The Firebirds have allowed 221 yards a game on the ground this season.

The bulk of those came the previous two weeks, against O-North and Olathe South, so Lisher and his staff have made it clear that trend can’t continue this week.

With one less day of preparation available, due to the Thursday game, Lisher said the game plan has been simple and the Firebirds have responded well.

“Thank goodness this is our only Thursday night game, because it’s tough on everybody,” Lisher said, adding preparation wasn’t the issue. “It’s coming to school the next day and making sure we get in to class, including me.”

KANSAS UNIVERSITY COMMIT CONNER FRANKAMP, CENTER, WATCHES from behind the bench prior to tipoff against Missouri on Feb. 25 at Allen Fieldhouse.

Frankamp “ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

Conner’s journey Marty says Conner always was different from other kids in his love for the game.

Conner was the 3-yearold who would shoot on his Little Tikes goal for hours. And, when Marty was coaching his oldest son Kevin at AAU tournaments, Conner would be the first one on the court during breaks in the action, getting the opening shot up to the rim.

“He didn’t care about anything when he was little,” Marty says, “except for a ball.”

Conner learned to shoot with his dad in their garage, hoisting up shots on an eight-foot goal.

Playing Biddy Basketball in Wichita at age 8 — the league uses shorter hoops and slightly smaller basketballs to promote work on fundamentals — Conner was named Mr. World Biddy after leading his team to an all-star championship in Louisiana.

When he was 12, Conner also learned about work ethic from native Kansan and former Missouri State guard Jackie Stiles, who helped him for about six months while she worked as a trainer in Wichita.

Stiles, the all-time leading NCAA women’s scorer, coached Conner on which shots to take and also stressed quality over quantity when it came to shooting after she suffered through so many injuries following her career.

Marty has coached Conner’s shooting from his seventh-grade year on, helping him through the workouts that now have become a routine.

“I wouldn’t be the player I (am) without him,” Conner says. “I thank him a lot for that, because he’s always pushing me and never praises me too much and is always on me.”

All along, Marty was trying to gauge just how good his son could become.

Conner had a solid eighth-grade year playing for his dad at Pleasant Valley, but would he do just as well in the City League the next year?

Marty — also an assistant on North’s basketball team — received his answer soon enough when Conner scored 25 points in his first varsity game against perennial power Wichita Heights.

Three years later, Conner is on his way to one of the best basketball careers ever in the state of Kansas.

He broke a 33-yearold City League scoring record his sophomore year, posting 52 points in a game against Wichita Northwest.

Last year as a junior, he scored 38 points in a 47-38 road upset over Ellis and Wichita Heights, as the Falcons lost for just the second time in four years — a game Conner says he didn’t shoot well in for the first half before pouring in 27 second-half points.

Conner also has thrived in the summer.

In July, he led the United States in scoring at the U17 FIBA World Championships, putting in 14.1 points per game — including 22 in the champi-

He didn’t care about anything when he was little, except for a ball.”

onship game — as Team USA went 8-0 and took home the gold medal in Lithuania.

“That was the best experience of my life, I would say,” Conner says.

“Just being able to put on that USA jersey and represent your country, it’s unbelievable.”

Then last month, Conner won the three-point shooting contest at the Under Armour Elite 24 Hoops Classic in Venice Beach, Calif. — an event that features 24 of the top high school players in the nation.

Two days earlier, he went against NBA players James Harden and Brandon Jennings during a midnight run game.

In that contest, he crossed over Harden once before putting in a layup, and also knocked in a three over Jennings.

“It was pretty cool,” Conner says. “It was kind of surreal to be able to be on the court with those kind of guys.”

Focused on the future So what’s next for Conner Frankamp?

The immediate goal, he says, is to help his team to a state title after North was eliminated in the quarterfinals at State a year ago.

Still, much of Conner’s routine remains focused on his future after this year.

Earlier this month, Conner — along with his parents, Marty and Karen — hosted KU coach Bill Self for a two-and-a-half-hour in-home visit over sandwiches from Picadilly.

While there, Marty made sure to ask Self what improvements he’d like to see from Conner before he arrived at KU. No. 1 was adding muscle.

“I’m not that strong right now, but he said I had a lot of time to get ready for that before I get to KU,” Conner says. “So that’s one thing I work on.”

After his shooting workouts, Conner meets up with Wichita trainer Ray Birch, who is in charge of his strength training and nutrition.

It’s a rare time in the year — from September until November — when the two can actually work on gaining weight with Conner not playing competitive basketball.

Right now, Conner is at about 164 pounds, with the goal to get him to about 172 before the high school season begins; Self would like to have Conner between 170 and 175 pounds when he arrives at KU next summer.

The strength also would put Conner in a better position to play either the 1 or the 2; Self told him to come in prepared to play either.

“I can play both positions. I played point for North and everything,” Conner says. “I like to pass a lot, but at North, I don’t get to do that that much. I have to score first to win.

I like to distribute the ball

a lot and lead the team the best I can.”

Because Conner has to have a score-first mentality for North, he believes that his passing skills sometimes go unnoticed.

He was able to impress with his passing skills during this summer’s Pangos All-America Camp, with Rivals.com national recruiting expert Eric Bossi saying, “His skill on the offensive end serves him equally well as a scorer or facilitator and he’s got matching athleticism.”

“The games he enjoys most are where he doesn’t have to score the most,” Marty says. “He told me this summer, he really enjoyed some of the camps he went to where he could be point guard — where he could just run the team and make shots when he was open.

“That’s probably what his role with KU is going to be, hopefully, is that he’ll score some, but he’s not going to have to be the man to shoot it all the time.”

Though he’s enjoying his senior year, Conner can’t help but be excited about the future.

He was there at the KUMissouri game at Allen Fieldhouse last year, saying his ears were still ringing two days later.

After following the program his whole life — Kirk Hinrich was one of his favorite players growing up — Conner says there’s a lot to look forward to.

“Just being up there,” Conner says, “and being at the best school in the country.”

‘A hard worker’ About once a year, Conner likes to go back to watch the video that started it all: a recording of his first organized basketball game as a 5-year-old (he scored 17 points, by the way).

Conner jokes that perhaps the most noticeable thing from the video is that he had a big head.

That hasn’t seemed to follow him during his rise as a local basketball phenom.

Though his strength workout is in less than 20 minutes, he reiterates twice to a photographer that he’s doing fine on time, being sure to ask how the trip down to Wichita from Lawrence went.

Conner continues the conversation with questions about Lawrence — his home in a year — and never pulls out a cellphone, sitting on a bench with his hands folded in front of him while waiting for the lights to be put in the right place.

A couple weeks ago, Marty couldn’t help but be proud after going to parent-teacher conferences and receiving reports that his son was humble, polite and a hard worker.

“The thing that I’m most proud of him is that he’s just a good kid,” Marty says. “ ... Of course, I’m proud of him for his basketball, too. I’m really proud of him. But I’m really proud of his hard work.

Nobody really realizes how hard he works.”

The photo shoot ends and Conner stands up to head to another workout, this time to get his body ready for this year and beyond.

“There’s always room to get better,” Conner says. “You’re never perfect at anything.”

Tigers alone in first place DETROIT (AP) — Most of the 32,360 fans at Comerica Park groaned when Jhonny Peralta hit a tailormade double-play grounder that looked set to end the eighth inning.

Andy Dirks made them cheer.

Jhonny Peralta’s grounder brought home the goahead run because Dirks’ hard slide broke up a potential inning-ending double play in the eighth, and the Detroit Tigers beat the Kansas City Royals, 5-4, Wednesday night.

“I was just trying to break up the double play and try to get a piece of him any way I could to help us score that run,”

Dirks said. “That’s just kind of the way you play baseball.”

Detroit wound up alone in first place for the first time since before play on July 24 when the White Sox lost to Cleveland later.

Triple Crown candidate Miguel Cabrera was robbed of a tiebreaking home run in the fifth inning by Alex Gordon’s catch above the left-field wall.

Detroit found a way to break through the eighth.

It appeared as if Kansas City was going to keep the score tied when Peralta hit a grounder to third baseman Mike Moustakas.

Dear Annie: I am 38 and have been with my husband for 18 years.

We have built a wonderful life with great kids, but circumstances led to a separation. I was the one who wanted it. My husband is a good guy, but he just hasn’t been able to give me the love I want. Something is always more important.

He now says he’s willing to do anything to make this marriage work. But he’s promised that before, and after a short time, I am on the back burner again.

A few months ago, I ran into a man I hadn’t seen in years. He is divorced. One thing led to another, and, well, you can figure it out. Now, I have two really great guys in my life, and I want them both. My husband is a stable, sensible, great father. My guy friend is fun, sweet and the best lover I have ever had.

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell anniesmailbox@comcast.net

I know I am being selfish, and I feel guilty, but apparently not guilty enough to make a choice between them. How do I decide? — Used To Be Sensible in Milwaukee Dear Milwaukee: There are children involved in this mess, and you should think of them. Ideally, you and your husband would work on this together and make your marriage stronger. It requires that you both get back into counseling, that he sticks to the plan and that you give up your boyfriend.

‘Resort’ goes to extremes The gang on “Lost” had to endure only a plane crash to land on a beautiful island filled with secrets. The folks on “Last Resort” (7 p.m., ABC) have to start World War III — or refuse to, as the case may be.

Andre Braugher stars as Capt.

Marcus Chaplin of the USS Colorado, a nuclear submarine. In buddy cop movie fashion, he tells his next in command, Sam Kendal (Scott Speedman), that he’s recommending him for a desk job near Washington, D.C., so he can start a family with his young sweetheart. We know that’s not going to happen.

Reports of a messy impeachment battle arrive in snippets, telling us that generals and admirals are abandoning an embattled commander in chief. Without warning, and only moments after picking up Navy SEALs in a training exercise, the Colorado is ordered to launch nuclear weapons at Pakistan. When Chaplin questions the authenticity of the orders, all heck breaks loose.

Not to give too much away, but the Colorado becomes a rogue ship, bristling with nuclear weapons and defying a government it no longer deems legitimate. The pilot leaves one wondering if Washington has gone crazy, or Chaplin. Or maybe both.

It’s clever, if a bit much, to combine elements of “Lost” with such Cold War thrillers as “On the Beach” and “Seven Days in May,” but I definitely want to see where this deeply paranoid thriller is headed.

‘‘Elementary” (9 p.m., CBS) sets Sherlock Holmes (Jonny Lee Miller) in modern-day Manhattan, where he’s come after escaping from a drug rehab facility in the U.K. His unseen father has hired Dr. Joan Watson (Lucy Liu) to look after him. Fortunately for us, he resumes his sleuthing while she tries to humanize him.

He’s impetuous, rude and insightful. She’s slightly wounded, but able to reach the people whom Holmes offends. And he offends everybody. “Elementary” really pushes Holmes into antisocial territory. Viewers looking for the next Gregory House may have found him.

Fascinating, cruel and creepy, this new variation on the famous detective pushes the Holmes-Watson relationship to uncomfortable and fascinating extremes. Sometimes it resembles that of Hannibal Lecter and Clarice Starling.

Tonight’s season premieres

Raj feels left out on “The Big Bang Theory” (7 p.m., CBS).

Walden plans a surprise party on “Two and a Half Men” (7:30 p.m., CBS).

The aftermath of the crash impacts everyone’s future on “Grey’s Anatomy” (8 p.m., ABC).

BIRTHDAYS

Rock singer Meat Loaf is 65.

Actor A Martinez is 64. Actor Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa is 62.

Singer Shaun Cassidy is 54. Rock singer Stephan Jenkins (Third Eye Blind) is 48. Actor Patrick Muldoon is 44. Actress Gwyneth Paltrow is 40. Rock singer Brad Arnold (3 Doors Down) is 34. Rapper Lil’ Wayne is 30. Singer Avril Lavigne is 28.

If you are not ready to do that, please get a legal separation from your husband and put a custody and visitation plan into effect while you sort this out. Don’t wait too long. Your husband may decide he is entitled to look elsewhere for happiness, too.

Dear Annie: I was recently invited to a small, informal engagement party. The invitation said, “No gifts, please,” so I followed that. But when I arrived, there was a table with quite a few cards, a bottle of wine and other small boxes.

My uncle is getting married soon for the second time. He is having the ceremony and a dinner at a local restaurant. His invitation also says, “No gifts, please, only best wishes.” My sister says we must get him a gift, or we are being cheap, no matter what the invitation says.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Thursday, Sept. 27, 2012: This year you experience many different feelings that help guide you. If you are single, you come from a place of compassion when you meet someone. If you are attached, share a new hobby with a sweetie in order to become closer.

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 intuition directs you as to which way to go, though you could feel stuck between a rock and a hard place. You see the potential for change, but you need a boss or supervisor to go along with you.

Tonight: Not to be found.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) A friend seems to zero in on an issue. This helps you to verbalize and express your thoughts.

Tonight: Where your friends are.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) You are on top of your game. You understand what makes an associate function in the way that he or she does. Tonight: A must appearance.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Detach before making a final decision. You intuitively want to know more of what could make a situation work. Tonight: Your feelings need to lead the way.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Recheck any agreements that could impact your finances.

You have very high ideals, and you want to satisfy them. Tonight: Deal with a family member directly.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Defer to someone who really wants to call the shots and make the decisions. You need to witness the end results of his or her

But I would think people would be miffed if they received presents they specifically said they didn’t want. I don’t want to make the same mistake again. Is a card not enough? — Not Sure Dear Not Sure: When someone requests “no gifts,” that is exactly what it means. People who bring presents anyway are insecure about the request and feel they must buy something regardless. Of course, etiquette also says “no gifts” does not belong on an invitation because it implies that gifts are otherwise expected. If you insist on giving a present, we suggest a donation to their favorite charity in honor of their nuptials.

— Send questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or Annie’s Mailbox, P.O. Box 118190 Chicago, IL 60611.

actions. Tonight: Make calls and figure out weekend plans.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You deal with others directly and with self-confidence. You know what your expectations are, and, for the most part, you share them with those involved. Tonight: Off to the gym.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your sense of direction calls for some quick decisions. Your ability to see beyond an issue and understand the consequences of certain actions allows you to make the right move. Tonight: Choose something fun.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Think through a problem with key players. What you see happening is OK, even if on some level you don’t buy someone else’s version of the story. Tonight: Happy to be home.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Keep conversations moving. You have an intuitive sense of what you want to hear. Tonight: Visit with a friend over a drink and munchies.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might not understand the financial implications of what you are seeing. Someone might be more deceptive than you think. Tonight: Think “budget.”

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You might want to understand what is going on with someone at a distance. You could be unusually aggravated with a loved one, but let these feelings pass. Tonight: Beam in what you want.
