SCHOOLS

Board asked to take vote on consolidation

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

Time’s up.

After two and half years of discussion, the Lawrence school board is being asked to take a formal vote on whether to consolidate its smaller elementary schools.

“Board officers feel like it is

time to make a decision,” Superintendent Rick Doll said.

“Everyone has the information needed to make the decision. We can’t think of any more information we can give them. It is time.”

The current vote is fueled by recommendations handed over in late February by the Central and East Lawrence

Elementary School Consolidation Working Group. For more than six months, the group studied ways to reduce six elementary schools — New York, Cordley, Kennedy, Pinckney, Hillcrest and Sunset Hill — into three or four schools within the next two years.

The working group couldn’t

reach consensus. A little more than half of the members in the working group believed the problems caused by consolidation didn’t justify the money it would save. The other side believed closing schools was a valid option but didn’t want to name which Please see BOARD, page 2A

KU gets extra revenue boost from Final Four licensing

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

When the Jayhawks make a run to the Final Four, it means a whole lot more than a lot of happy fans. It can boost the university in all sorts of ways, too.

“More than anything, we sense an incredible amount of pride in the university among all graduates,” said Kevin Corbett, president of the Kansas University Alumni Association.

But there is a financial windfall for the university, too.

Alcohol-related traffic fatalities down

KDOT: Too early to tell if tougher DUI penalties enacted last year are cause

By Shaun Hittle sdhittle@ljworld.com

Kansas saw a sharp decrease in the number of alcohol-related traffic fatalities this year — from 138 in 2010 to 76 in 2011 — according to preliminary data released by the Kansas Department of Transportation.

Can Kansas chalk up the good news to the state’s new DUI ignition interlock law, in effect since July?

It’s a little early to tell, said Pete Bodyk, traffic safety manager for KDOT. The law requires even first-time DUI offenders

Sunny Easter

to install an ignition interlock on any automobile they drive.

“Hopefully it’s the start of a downward trend,” Bodyk said.

Kansas had lagged behind the country in reducing alcohol-related fatalities, seeing increases in recent years as numbers dropped across the country. Alcohol-related traffic fatalities averaged 116 between 2000 and 2010 in the state.

Kansas also saw about a 12 percent drop in alcoholrelated accidents, from 2,801 in 2010 to 2,463 in 2011.

KANSAS’ NEW DUI LAW PENALTIES Here are details about the law, which has been in effect since July 1: ! First offense: Misdemeanor, 30-day license suspension, ignition interlock for remainder of a year, two days to six months in jail or 100 hours of community service, $1,000 fine. ! Second offense: Misdemeanor, 45-day license suspension, ignition interlock for one year, $1,250 fine. Must serve at least five days in jail. ! Third offense: Misdemeanor, 45-day license suspension, ignition interlock

Offenders must petition court to be eligible to drive after the 45-day license suspensions for second or more convictions.

Any DUIs committed before July 1, 2001, do not count toward an offender’s total.

Woman searches for mysterious hero from childhood

“THE HOLY FAMILY AT WORK,” 1866 by Carl Muller. Although this appears to be a simple portrait of the Holy Family, many objects in the painting refer to Christ’s crucifixion and his sacrifice for mortals’ sins. Some objects, like the lamb to the left of Christ, are familiar symbols of Christ’s sacrifice.

Generally, Kansas Athletics receives 10 percent of the wholesale price for officially licensed items. For tournament items, the licensing fee is 14 percent.

It’s been more than five decades, but retired Derby teacher Sue Towns, who spent some of her childhood in Lawrence, is trying to track down a Lawrence man she refers to as her hero.

“I can’t tell you how many times I’ve thought about that man,” Towns said.

Towns tells a story about a man who used to give her a nickel every day as she walked to Lincoln Elementary School in 1956 as a second-grader. The man worked at the Union Pacific Railroad, and Towns remembers a small office she would pass near the railroad tracks.

“I just remember standing there with my hand out,” said Towns, now 62.

Towns in 1957

Towns would take the nickel, shoot over to an area store and buy herself a moon pie.

“It just made me a happy little camper,” she said.

“I love moon pies to this day.”

Back then it was a small gesture that the man extended, but looking back, Towns said, the daily gift probably had a larger purpose.

Towns grew up poor, and her home life was tough. She was removed

There’s an uptick of activity in a lot of different parts of the city’s economy during a big basketball run, said David Corliss, Lawrence city manager. In addition to the tangible sales tax windfalls, the goodwill associated with the university that’s generated across the country benefits Lawrence, too, he said.

Other factors, like high gasoline prices, can drag down sales tax receipts as consumers have less disposable income, he said. So a good run by the basketball team can help counterbalance that effect.

The city does get a share of the state’s alcohol sales tax for alcohol consumed in restaurants and bars, but it doesn’t receive any of the sales tax for alcohol sold in liquor stores, Corliss said. But several segments of the economy do well in good basketball

Bodyk said the decreases are probably the result of a combination of factors, including the new law and the intense media coverage of it. Bodyk also cited increased commitment by police agencies across the state to crack down on drunken driving.

“I think law enforcement is doing a better job,” Bodyk said.

Karen Housewright, director of field operations for Mothers Against Drunk Driving, praised efforts to curb drunken driving in Kansas, which joined 14 others states to enact a first-time offender ignition interlock law. Most states have some form of ignition interlock law, but some only apply to repeat DUI offenders.

While it’s impossible to say exactly how the law affected the numbers, the growing evidence is clear, Housewright said.

“We know they (ignition interlocks) save lives,” Housewright said.

“The evidence is hard to refute.”

A recently released study from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety found that an ignition interlock law in Washington state reduced DUI reoffending for first-

from her family in 1957 and bounced around foster care for a couple of years.

Combing through her adoption record, Towns said her listed weight at age 8 was 38 pounds.

The man must have seen that Towns looked thin and was trying to help, Towns said.

“I feel very strongly about that,” she said.

With the passage of time, Towns, whose name was changed from Linda Sue Steele after her adoption, said her memories of the man have faded.

She doesn’t recall a name or what he looked like. She doesn’t know how old he was back then, or if he’s even still alive today. But for the past couple of years, she’s had an urge to track him down.

With little information to go on, Towns has so far been unsuccessful. She recently reached out to Lawrence City Commissioner Mike Amyx.

“It really is an incredible story,” said Amyx, who made some calls but wasn’t able to track down any information.

A spokesman from

Jayhawks time DUI offenders by 11 percent.

But another finding from the study was that only one-third of those convicted under Washington’s law actually applied for an ignition interlock. That raises the possibility that some drivers convicted of a DUI might continue to simply drive without the interlock, said Anne McCart, co-author of the study.

Drivers convicted of a DUI must apply to the Kansas Department of Revenue for a modified license and prove they have an ignition interlock installed. Between July 1 and March 2, the state received 2,991 such applications, said Jeannine Koranda, spokeswoman for the Kansas Department of Revenue.

There are additional updates to the last year’s DUI law being considered by the Kansas Legislature that could further strengthen the law, Bodyk said. Senate Bill 453, currently in committee, would make refusing an alcohol breath test a misdemeanor that carries the same penalty as a positive test. Currently, refusing a breath test results is an automatic one-year license suspension, but it is not a criminal violation.

Union Pacific also wasn’t able to provide any information about the man, citing the decades of time gone by.

Towns taught third and sixth grade in the Derby public school system, and has used the story as an example in her classes for an essay project about heroes.

It was simple act of kindness more than 50 years ago, but Towns said she’s often thought about the man during tough times in her life. And she’s often reflected on his actions when her students struggled like she did so many years ago.

Towns hopes she’ll find the “nice man” and thank him or his family.

teams splits 10 percent of the wholesale price.

Predicting the revenue that will come in can be tricky, especially with recent growth in online sales and marketing of licensed gear.

In 2003, when KU lost to Syracuse in the title game, KU saw $770,000 in royalty fees, up about $250,000 from the previous year.

In 2008, the year KU won the national title, it generated $2.2 million, nearly double 2007’s take.

But that level has stayed high since then, generating $1.8 million in the year ending June 30, 2009, $1.9 million in 2010 and $2.1 million in 2011.

“Experience tells us that it’s going to be worth something,” Vander Tuig said of the basketball success. “We can’t budget for it. There’s just no way to know or to even guess.”

The university itself — not just the athletics department — benefits from the licensing fees as well.

Kansas Athletics handles licensing fees for all university-related items, even those that don’t feature athletics. As part of that agreement, Kansas Athletics gives half of that money to the university itself, said Jim Marchiony, associate athletic director. The university, in turn, uses the funds for its unions in Lawrence and at KU Medical Center, in addition to providing for student scholarships. The costs of the licensing program are removed from the gross receipts before Kansas Athletics and the university split the net revenue, Marchiony said.

During the tournament, Corbett said, he got emails from alumni across the country telling him how much fun it was to go into work and talk

buildings would close.

Ultimately, the entire group agreed the school district needed to ask taxpayers to approve a bond that would help repair and expand existing schools.

Since receiving those recommendations, the board has asked the district about everything from the English as a Second Language program to how much money it would take to place smaller elementary schools on par with newer ones.

Board member Keith Diaz Moore believes the board is ready for a decision.

A SHOPPER LOOKS for Kansas University Final Four gear March 29 at Checkers, 2300 La. The Jayhawks’ recent basketball success means an added licensing revenue boost for Kansas Athletics and the university proper. about the team’s success.

Those feelings can drive more memberships to the association, he said, carrying over until after the tournament is over.

The association also sponsors watch parties at tournament sites and smaller ones across the country (and the world, too, as Corbett pointed out a watch party in London took place well after midnight local time).

“You see generations of Jayhawks at these events, all excited about the university,” he said.

Matt Melvin, KU’s associate vice provost for recruitment and enrollment, said basketball comes very late in the admissions cycle to see an enrollment boost. Many students have already decided where they’re going next fall by the time the NCAA title game rolls around in April, he said.

Unlike smaller schools that suddenly and surprisingly do well in sports — like a Final Four run at George Mason or Butler — potential students know KU has a chance to contend most years, so there isn’t typically a huge spike when the team makes it far into the tournament.

“Because of KU’s position in the market, particularly in basketball, it’s not really a big surprise when the team does well,” he said.

Football can be a different story because its success come in January, much earlier in students’ decision-making process. Therefore, in 2008, the Orange Bowl title likely contributed more to KU’s record-breaking 30,102 student enrollment that fall than the NCAA basketball title, he said.

But that doesn’t mean basketball doesn’t boost KU in other ways.

“It gives you visibility,” he said.

With millions watching the title game, Melvin said, having all those people seeing Jayhawks is advertising the university just couldn’t buy.

“In order to have market share, first you have to have mind share,” he said.

In the end, a successful basketball season certainly won’t hurt.

“We’ll take it,” Melvin said.

sary, but he isn’t 100 percent sure how he’ll vote Monday night. He doesn’t believe that the state will provide the funding needed to pull the district out of a financial crisis. If that’s the case, the district won’t be able to maintain the status quo. And when budgets have to be cut, Byers said, class sizes, especially those in the larger schools, go up.

“No one wants to close a school — no one does.

But you also have to look at it from a practical side: You don’t want to spend a bunch of money upgrading a bunch of facilities when you might not have staff to put in them,” Byers said.

Even if the school board would decide to move forward with consolidation, it probably wouldn’t be

never about what we are going to do next year. It has always been about what is the long-range goal,” Byers said.

Upgrades to some of the facilities that were on the list for consolidation have already been approved. In late February, the school board gave the go-ahead to replace a leaky roof at Kennedy and flooring at Pinckney and make an HVAC upgrade at Sunset Hill.

After Monday’s vote, the board’s next step is deciding what projects would be included in a bond issue. Regardless of the outcome on Monday night, Doll said a bond issue wouldn’t be ready by November.

Hunt eggs on candy seekers

BRIEFLY Smoking ban survives constitutional challenge TOPEKA — The Kansas Supreme Court has overturned a limited temporary injunction that had exempted some private clubs from the statewide public smoking ban.

In Friday’s ruling, the justices ruled against the Downtown Bar and Grill of Tonganoxie, which filed a lawsuit over a deadline in the law that allowed a certain class of licensed private clubs to permit smoking. During debate on the law, legislators inserted a Jan. 1, 2009, cutoff date for clubs as an amendment on the House floor.

The Downtown Bar and Grill received its license in May 2009 and would not qualify, even though the smoking ban didn’t go into effect until July 2010.

New Highway Patrol cars have retro look WICHITA — The Kansas Highway Patrol is marking its 75th anniversary with patrol cars that are garnering doubletakes.

The Wichita Eagle reports that the patrol added 14 retro cars to its fleet, all painted in the traditional highway patrol colors of gray and blue. They also sport red bulbs on their roofs, reminiscent of patrol cars from years ago.

Trooper Matt Mullen, who is based in Wichita, said he has been getting quizzical looks from children and second glances from adults since being assigned one of the retro 2011 Crown Victoria models.

“I like it,” said Mullen, who has been a trooper since 2001.

“I remember seeing highway patrol cars that color when I was a kid. It made me think, ‘They ought to look like that.’

I’m proud to get it.”

He said his vehicle has confused children, who don’t seem to understand the purpose of the red bulb on the roof.

them,” said Tena Bush, a human resources executive for the Hy-Vee at 4000 W. Sixth St. “Most people say, ‘I have no need for these eggs in my house.’”

Despite a victory for opponents of the 12th and Haskell Recycling Center, city enforcement action against the east Lawrence salvage yard likely won’t occur for at least another month.

Scott McCullough, the city’s director of planning and development services, said the city won’t be in a position to force changes to the business’ operation until after a city zoning board takes a procedural vote on the matter in early May. The city’s Board of Zoning Appeals on Thursday upheld a decision by city staff that the 12th and Haskell Recycling Center was operating outside of the city’s zoning code. But the zoning board on Thursday did not formally adopt any findings of fact related to its ruling.

Instead, the board opted to have city attorneys craft those findings for approval at the board’s May meeting. McCullough said that until those findings are adopted, the board’s decision won’t be final and the city won’t be in a position to order the recycling center to either close or dramatically change its business operations.

The owners of the recycling center can still appeal the Board of Zoning Appeals’ decision to Douglas County District Court. An attorney for the recycling center said he hoped the city and his client could enter discussions over the next month to reach a compromise that would avoid a lawsuit.

‘Equity index’ shows wide disparities in Kan. between whites, blacks

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Through history, Kansas has been prominent in the fight to advance rights for African-Americans.

Anti-slavery abolitionists helped settle Kansas as a free state. In the 1950s, the landmark decision by the U.S. Supreme Court in a lawsuit against the Topeka Board of Education to end segregation reverberated throughout the country, as did lunchcounter sit-ins in Wichita.

But a recently released “equity index” shows a wide disparity in presentday living conditions between African-Americans and whites in Kansas.

Two weeks ago, the Kansas African American Affairs Commission and Urban League of Kansas shared the preliminary findings of “The State of African Americans in Kansas.”

Mildred Edwards, who is executive director of the commission, said she wanted the report to be used in a positive way to make changes that are just and fair for all Kansans.

“The document, we hope, will help to galvanize movements at the local community and districtwide levels,” Edwards said.

Chester Daniel, president and chief executive officer of the Urban League of Kansas, said, “There is still much to do to make sure that ev-

some resolution short of litigation can be had with the city,” said Brad Finkeldei, a Lawrence attorney for the 12th and Haskell Recycling Center.

The city received complaints from several neighbors that allege the center, which deals heavily in salvage cars, appliances and other metals, created problems with noise, odor and had become a general nuisance for the residential area.

Finkeldei had presented a plan to city officials to significantly change the layout of the existing center. The plan included a large sound wall between the operations and the neighborhood, a relocation of the center’s entrance, and changes to how the property stores its scrap metal and other materials. The Board of Zoning Appeals did not consider that proposal Thursday.

McCullough said his staff also is not expected to spend much time with the new proposal.

“We’re still open to helping him be compliant with the code, but I think it is pretty clear that reducing it to the levels he has presented to us won’t

Finkeldei said the business is open to other discussions with the city.

There has been speculation the city may have an interest in purchasing the property at 12th and Haskell, which is adjacent to the lot where the city keeps its trash trucks.

Finkeldei said the city has not yet approached his client about a possible sale.

“We have continued to work with the city for the last two years to find a mutually acceptable resolution short of litigation,” Finkeldei said. “If indeed one of those options included some assistance in moving, my client certainly would consider that.

“But he has a 6-acre plot of land that he bought with the understanding the city would allow him to operate there. He is not willing to walk away from that property unless a better situation arises.”

Study club to celebrate 140 years this month

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

Later this month, members of a long-standing Lawrence study club will commemorate its 140th anniversary.

The club, Friends in Council, brings women together to discuss a variety of academic subjects.

And it can trace its history all the way back to Quantrill’s Raid, the state’s first governor and Kansas Laird University’s first full-time woman professor.

Here’s how the club works: Each year the group’s members select a topic. This year the topic involves Kansas in the time of the club’s founding, to commemorate the club’s anniversary. Club members each write papers on the topic and present them at club meetings.

Papers have ranged from newspapers in America, clothes and fashion to painting and art.

Today, longtime club member Betty Laird serves as the club’s histo-

rian. She said the club is the oldest such group in Lawrence, and members believe it’s the oldest of its kind west of the Mississippi River.

“A lot of us have some connection to the university,” said Laird, who taught freshman English classes at KU once upon a time.

Barbara Schowen, a retired KU chemistry professor, is the group’s president.

“It’s a wonderful group,” she said. “I never had the time to do this when I was working.”

Schowen said the group’s upcoming fiveyear anniversary banquet will feature an “in memoriam” tribute for several members, toasts, speeches and a history of the club.

The club’s founder, Elizabeth Perkins Leonard, was a New Englander who served as KU’s first full-time woman professor after being hired in 1869.

Leonard was KU’s fifth faculty member and taught modern languages, including French and German, and painting and art.

Laird said Leonard was in Lawrence during the time of Quantrill’s Raid,

staying with her close friends Charles and Sarah Robinson. Charles served as the state’s first governor.

Leonard came to Lawrence from Quincy, Ill., where Friends in Council began. She helped the city recuperate from the raid, doing some cooking and tending to the injured and dying.

“It must have stayed with her all her life,” said Laird, who has studied Leonard and written a play about her life.

The club was founded in 1871, and the first topic centered on Scottish philosopher Dugald Stewart and his work, “A general view of the progress of metaphysical, ethical and political philosophy.”

“They probably considered it a way of bringing culture to this town” at the time, Laird said.

The topics are a bit lighter these days, she said, but the group’s members still enjoy learning new things.

“The satisfaction is being associated with something that’s worthwhile,” Laird said.

Neighbors fearful after shootings in Tulsa

By Justin Juozapavicius Associated Press

TULSA, OKLA. — Residents of Tulsa’s predominantly black north side said Saturday they’re afraid a shooter is still roaming their neighborhoods looking for victims after five people were shot — and three killed — a day earlier.

“We’re all nervous,” said Renaldo Works, 52, who was getting his hair cut at the crowded Charlie’s Angels Forever Hair Style Shop on Saturday morning.

“I’ve got a 15-year-old, and I’m not going to let him out late. People are scared. We need facts.

“You don’t want to be a prisoner in your own home,” he said.

Police are still waiting for the results of forensic tests, but investigators think the shootings are linked because they happened around the same time within a three-mile span, and all five victims were out walking when they were shot. All the victims are black, and community met this weekend in an effort to calm any unrest.

One of the victims told police that the shooter was a white man driving a white pickup truck who stopped to ask for directions before opening fire. Officer Jason Willingham said Saturday

TULSA CHIEF OF POLICE CHUCK JORDAN speaks during a news conference at the Tulsa Police Department on Saturday in downtown Tulsa, Okla. Police believe the same attacker or attackers are behind a series of earlymorning shootings in which three people were killed and two others were critically wounded within a three-mile span of north Tulsa. that the pickup was spotted in the area of three of the shootings.

“We don’t have one definitive way where this investigation is headed,” Willingham said. “Right now, that’s the only thing we have to go on.”

More than two dozen officers are investigating the case, along with the FBI, the U.S. Marshals Service and other agencies, Willingham said.

As investigators

searched for the killer, the tension and fear among some of the city’s black residents was palpable.

“It’s got everybody on edge,” said Louis Johnson, 24. “Everybody is saying the same thing: It’s a white guy in a white pickup or a Tahoe.”

Barber Charles Jones, 40, said the north side has had its share of crime trouble, but residents have never faced a series of random killings like these.

At a neighborhood park a couple blocks from two of the shootings, parents kept close watch over their kids during an Easter egg hunt.

The Rev. Warren Blakney Sr., president of the Tulsa NAACP, said “avid distrust” between the black community and the police department had raised concerns that the shootings wouldn’t be fully investigated, and he contacted police to emphasize the need for them to work together to avoid vigilantism.

“We have to handle this because there are a number of African-American males who are not going to allow this to happen in their neighborhood,” he said. “We’re trying to quell the feeling of ‘let’s get someone,’ and we will make as certain as we can that this isn’t pushed under the rug.”

GOP superdelegates: It’s over, Romney is nominee

for president.

That’s the growing consensus among Republican National Committee members who will automatically attend the party’s national convention this summer and can support any candidate they choose.

E v e n s o m e members who support other candidates begrudgingly say Romney the math doesn’t add up for anyone but the former Massachusetts governor.

“I would be sur- Santorum prised if Romney doesn’t get the number he needs,” said Jeff Johnson of Minnesota, who supports former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.

Bob Bennett of Ohio was more blunt.

“Look, Gov. Romney’s going to be the nominee, and he’s going to have enough votes,” said Bennett, who is publicly

— Jeff Johnson of Minnesota, who supports former House Speaker Newt Gingrich neutral but said he supported Romney four years ago.

Romney’s chief rival, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, is pledging to stay in the race, hoping a victory in his home state’s primary April 24 will give his campaign new life. But Santorum has fallen far behind Romney in the race for convention delegates, and RNC members are taking notice, even though most are publicly staying neutral, preferring to let primary voters decide the nominee.

The Associated Press has polled 114 of the 120 superdelegates, party members who can support any candidate for president they choose at the national convention in August, regardless of what happens in primaries or caucuses.

In the latest survey, conducted Tuesday to Friday, Romney has 35 endorsements, far more than anyone else but a modest figure for the apparent

nominee. Gingrich has four endorsements, Santorum has two and Texas Rep. Ron Paul got one.

RNC members have been slowly embracing Romney. He picked up 11 new endorsements since the last AP survey a month ago, after the Super Tuesday contests. Over the course of the campaign, however, Romney methodically has added endorsements from every region of the country. In the U.S. territories, where voters help decide the nominee but can’t vote in the general election, Romney has dominated.

Romney has endorsements from all three RNC members in Guam, American Samoa, the Virgin Islands and the Northern Mariana Islands. He was endorsed by two of the three members in Puerto Rico.

Romney may be struggling among voters in the South, but he was endorsed by two of the three committee members in Mississippi, Henry Barbour and Jeanne Luckey.

Romney even has support from Robert Asher of Pennsylvania.

Santorum’s only endorsements are from members in Iowa and Alabama. In Pennsylvania, state GOP chairman Robert Gleason is publicly neutral.

‘Painter of Light’ Thomas Kinkade remembered for his warm images

By John S. Marshall Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO — Artist Thomas Kinkade once said that he had something in common with Walt Disney and Norman Rockwell: He wanted to make people happy.

And he won success with brushwork paintings that focused on idyllic landscapes, cottages and c h u r c h e s Kinkade — highly popular works that became big sellers for dealers across the United States.

The self-described “Painter of Light,” who died Friday at age 54, produced sentimental scenes of country gardens and pastoral landscapes in dewy morning light that were beloved by many but criticized by the art establishment.

Kinkade died at his home in Los Gatos in the San Francisco Bay Area of

what appeared to be natural causes, said family spokesman David Satterfield.

He claimed to be the nation’s most collected living artist, and his paintings and spin-off products were said to fetch some $100 million a year in sales, and to be in 10 million homes in the United States.

Those light-infused renderings are often prominently displayed in buildings, malls, and on products — generally depicting tranquil scenes with lush landscaping and streams running nearby. Many contain images from Bible passages.

“I’m a warrior for light,” Kinkade, a self-described devout Christian, told the San Jose Mercury News in 2002, a reference to the medieval practice of using light to symbolize the divine. “With whatever talent and resources I have, I’m trying to bring light to penetrate the darkness many people feel.”

Before Kinkade’s Media Arts Group went private in the middle of the past decade, the company took

in $32 million per quarter from 4,500 dealers across the country, according to the Mercury News. The cost of his paintings range from hundreds of dollars to more than $10,000.

According to his website, Kinkade’s paintings have been reproduced in hand-signed lithographs, canvas prints, books, posters, calendars, magazine covers, cards, collector plates and figurines.

Many of those items are available in a wide selection line of home furnishings on its online store.

His artistic philosophy was not to express himself through his paintings like many artists but rather to give the masses what they wanted: warm, positive images, Ken Raasch, who co-founded Kinkade’s company with him, told the Mercury News.

“I’d see a tree as being green, and he would see it as 47 different shades of green,” Raasch said. “He just saw the world in a much more detailed way than anyone I’ve ever seen.”

Business team Establishing a consortium that strengthens local cooperation on economic development efforts may offer benefits for the community.

T

he idea of creating an economic development consortium is an intriguing possibility for Lawrence and Douglas County.

City and county governments, the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce and Kansas University already work together on many major economic development projects. Formalizing the cooperation among those groups almost certainly would help the community present more compelling proposals for new and expanding businesses to build their operations in Lawrence.

Government bodies most often have gotten involved in economic development when companies are seeking various tax incentives, but that function has become less important since Kansas dropped its taxes on business machinery and equipment. Now, the city and county have moved to other ways of encouraging business development. The recent commitment of $1 million from both the city and county to support expansion of a life science and technology incubator building in west Lawrence is a good example of how those governments are helping prime the economic development pump.

That kind of investment on behalf of local taxpayers certainly earns the city and county a place at the economic development table. The opportunities to link business opportunities to research and development at KU makes the university a natural partner in such efforts.

The Chamber of Commerce, the traditional center of the city’s economic development effort, also reportedly has floated the idea of adding some new elements to that effort, perhaps including the creation of a chamber-city-countyKU consortium.

The chamber, which is in a significant transition of its own, is smart to consider additional options. As they work to fill two key positions in their organization — the CEO and economic development jobs — chamber leaders need to consider exactly what role the chamber wants to, or should, play in the city’s overall eco devo strategy.

As some leaders envision it, a new consortium not only would facilitate cooperation on economic development but also would have some money to help push those efforts forward. Topeka and other communities have used new sales taxes to fund similar efforts. No one has proposed that for Lawrence — yet — but some funding mechanism may be needed to make the community more competitive.

The good news is that local officials are looking at some new strategies. Doing things the same old way hasn’t been good enough to make Lawrence a strong player in the increasingly competitive economic development game.

Ryan, Jindal top running-mate list WASHINGTON — Barack Obama’s intellectual sociopathy — his often breezy and sometimes loutish indifference to truth — should no longer startle. It should, however, influence Mitt Romney’s choice of a running mate.

In his 2010 State of the Union address, Obama flagrantly misrepresented the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision, which did not “open the floodgates” for foreign corporations “to spend without limit in our elections” (the law prohibiting foreign money was untouched by Citizens United) and did not reverse “a century of law.” Although Obama is not nearly as well educated as many thought, and he thinks, he surely knows he was absurd when he said last Monday, regarding Obamacare, that it would be “unprecedented” for the Supreme Court to overturn a “passed law.”

More important, and particularly pertinent to Romney’s choice, was Obama’s Tuesday speech comprehensively misrepresenting Rep. Paul Ryan’s budget. (For Ryan’s refutation of Obama, go to http://ow.ly/ a6hPz.) Remarkably, the 42-year-old congressman is today’s agenda-setting Republican. Admirably, Romney has embraced Ryan’s approach to altering the ruinous trajectory of the entitlement state and forestalling what that trajectory presages, a “government-

“

So Romney’s running mate should have intellectual firepower, born of immersion in policy complexities, sufficient to refute Obama’s meretricious claims and derelictions of duty.” centered society” (Romney’s phrase in his fine Milwaukee speech Tuesday night).

Obama’s defense of reactionary liberalism — whatever is must ever be, only increased — is not weighed down by the ballast of scruples. His defense will be his campaign because he cannot forever distract the nation and mesmerize the media with such horrors as a 30-year-old law student being unable to make someone else pay for her contraception.

So Romney’s running mate should have intellectual firepower, born of immersion in policy complexities, sufficient to refute Obama’s meretri-

cious claims and derelictions of duty. Here are two excellent choices: Ryan already is at the center of the campaign, and is the world’s foremost expert on the Ryan-Romney plan. No one is more marinated in the facts to which Obama is averse. Ryan has not yet honed his rhetorical skills for communicating complexities to laypersons, but he is a quick study. One drawback is that he is invaluable as chairman of the Budget Committee and in 2015 might become chairman of Ways and Means.

Louisiana’s Gov. Bobby Jindal, 40, was a 20-year-old congressional staffer when he authored a substantial report on reforming Medicare financing. At 24, he became head of Louisiana’s Department of Health and Hospitals, with 12,000 employees and 40 percent of the state budget. Back in Washington at 26, he was executive director of the National Bipartisan Commission on the Future of Medicare. In 1999, he became president of Louisiana’s largest state university system, which has 80,000 students. In 2001, he served as an assistant secretary of health and human services. He became governor after three years in Congress.

Faux realists will belabor Romney with unhistorical cleverness, urging him to choose a running mate who supposedly will sway this or

that demographic cohort or carry a particular state. But are, for example, Hispanics nationwide such a homogeneous cohort that, say, those who came to Colorado from Mexico will identify with a son of Cuban immigrants to Florida (Sen. Marco Rubio)? Do these realists know that according to exit polls, Nevada’s Hispanic Gov. Brian Sandoval, a Republican, won only about a third of the Hispanic vote in 2010?

Furthermore, in the 16 elections since World War II, 10 presidential candidates have failed to carry the home state of their vice presidential running mates: Earl Warren in 1948, Sen. Estes Kefauver in 1956. former Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge in 1960, Rep. Bill Miller in 1964, Gov. Spiro Agnew in 1968, Sargent Shriver in 1972, Rep. Geraldine Ferraro in 1984, Sen. Lloyd Bentsen in 1988, Jack Kemp in 1996, Sen. John Edwards in 2004.

For the next decade, American politics will turn on this truth: Slowing the growth of the entitlement state is absolutely necessary and intensely unpopular. In this situation, which is ripe for a demagogue such as the Huey Long from Chicago’s Hyde Park, Romney’s choice of running mate should promise something Washington now lacks — adult supervision.

PUBLIC FORUM

Serving up hate

GOP is enemy of reason Meet Nathan Fletcher, candidate for mayor of San Diego.

He will lose, at least if the polls are right. But he has raised a minor stir through a video posted online a few days back. In it, he explains his decision to leave the Republican Party and identify henceforth as an independent. “I don’t believe we have to treat people we disagree with as an enemy,” he says. “I think we can just say sometimes we disagree. ... I’ve fought in a war,” adds Fletcher, a Marine who served in Iraq. “I have seen the enemy. We don’t have enemies in our political environment here.”

Fletcher’s decision has been scorned by observers from both parties as a desperate gamble by a guy trying to shake up a flagging campaign. Maybe it is. But that doesn’t denigrate the essential truth of what he said, and in particular, that word he used: enemies.

It is a telling term. After all, one might negotiate with an “opponent.” One only contends against an “adversary.” But one seeks to destroy an enemy.

And it makes you wonder: Is that really the way we the people see ourselves? The evidence of recent years suggests that it is. The so-called culture wars — a battle of ideas and ideals concerning abortion, faith, gay rights, gun rights, Muslim rights, global warming, health care, immigration — are fought with splenetic bile that would have been unthinkable not too very long ago.

Leonard Pitts Jr. lpitts@miamiherald.com

But that was before a congressman heckled a president, before guns were brought to presidential appearances, before a radio host called a college woman a “slut,” before someone set a fire at the construction site of a Tennessee mosque, before “I want my country back” became a rallying cry.

It was before there grew this gnawing sense that we do not know each other anymore, that the extremes are pulling the center apart.

Nor is Fletcher the only one to notice. Sen. Olympia Snowe, a Republican moderate, announced her retirement a little over a month ago, blaming the dysfunction and polarization of American politics.

One is tempted, in the spirit of moral equivalence, to ascribe blame for this polarization to both parties, but that is simply untrue. For all their sins of ineptitude, infighting, cynicism, and even occasional name calling, it is not the Democrats who have gone off the ideological deep end.

The party has not championed same-sex marriage or gun confiscation, much as some of its constituents might want it to. It compromised on

health care and the Bush-era tax cuts, much as some of its constituents wish it had not.

No, it is the GOP that has abandoned the center and embraced ideological extremism as a virtue. It is telling to hear its candidates use “moderate” as an epithet and argue over who is the most “conservative,” as if the word contained some pixie dust of common sense and moral rectitude. It is sobering to realize that Ronald Reagan, patron saint of modern conservatism, would be unelectable by the standards thereof: he raised taxes and was known to compromise with political opponents — not “enemies” — to get things done.

That was then. His party has since engaged in a 30-year flight from the center that reaches its nadir — at least, let us hope it’s the nadir — in this era of tea party incoherence, faith-based policy, fear mongering and tax pledge tyranny.

This era when compromise is both lost art and dirty word and some Americans see other Americans as enemies — an era in which there is something lonely and foregone about pleading with an angry nation that this is not how it is supposed to be.

As one Republican once put it, “We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies.”

For the record, Nathan Fletcher did not say that.

Abraham Lincoln did, 39 days before the beginning of the Civil War. — Leonard Pitts Jr. is a columnist for the Miami Herald.

To the editor: So this gay man, a lesbian woman and a conservative lawmaker walk into a Lawrence bar. “What’ll you have?” asks the barkeep. The gay man says, “I’ll have liberty, freedom and a side of non-discrimination.”

The lesbian woman says, “I’ll have what he’s having, but with a side of compassion.”

The lawmaker says, “I’ll have a shot of homophobia mixed with a squeeze of hate and a bale of biblical cherry-picking on the side, just in case I need to explain myself.”

The bartender says, “Hey, I thought this was supposed to be a joke.” “Not if you have any self-respect,” says the lesbian woman. “Not if you understand what ‘Free State’ means,” says the gay man. The bartender looks at the lawmaker and says, “We don’t serve your kind here.”

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for April 8, 1912: YEARS “Easter Sunday AGO was ideal. The day IN 1912 was clear and the sun shone brilliantly and the air was just cool enough to make everyone feel that they were glad to live. Not in years have the services in Lawrence churches been as well attended … ” “Are the Republicans of Douglas county in favor of Theodore Roosevelt for the nomination as the candidate of their party or do they want William Howard Taft to be re-nominated for the presidency of the United States? The people are deciding this themselves this afternoon in the first presidential preference primary to be held in the county and by night the results will begin to be known.”

Inmate’s mom loses lawsuit over suicide TOPEKA — A jury in Topeka has cleared two Shawnee County jailers of negligence in the death of an inmate who hanged himself with a sheet after 38 days in custody, part of which he spent under suicide watch.

The jury in Shawnee County District Court deliberated less than 45 minutes Friday before returning the verdict in the lawsuit brought by Cathy Thomas, mother of Anthony Stapleton, who was 28 when he killed himself in November 2002, The Topeka CapitalJournal reported.

Thomas initially sued in federal court, but that lawsuit was dismissed in 2005.

She then filed suit in state court but lost again in 2007 when Shawnee County District Judge Larry Hendricks — after hearing testimony — ruled in a summary judgment that there was no evidence of negligence and the defendants had immunity under Kansas law.

But the Kansas Supreme Court last year cleared the way for a trial, finding that the lawsuit against the two jailers and Shawnee County could proceed.

Bowen: Kansas football special

KANSAS MEN’S BASKETBALL

Hidden highlights Scout team duties, dunks prep Traylor, McLemore for ‘12-13

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Of all the things that frustrated Clint Bowen about being away from his hometown during the last two college football seasons, one of them came roaring to the front of his mind upon his return.

“Getting away opens your eyes to some things and you get to see a lot of different deals out there,” said Bowen, KU’s special teams coordinator and safeties coach. “It does make you appreciate how good we have it here at KU. I took that for granted, that when you ask for something you don’t just automatically get it. But here at Kansas, with the support of our athletic department, we’re running a class operation and everything you need to win is provided. Now we just need to execute on the field.”

That has been the goal of the early portion of spring drills for the Jayhawks, who, under the direction of f i r s t - y e a r Bowen head coach C h a r l i e Weis, have seen things run differently than during the past two seasons. Discipline has been ramped up, players and coaches are more accountable than ever and the focus appears to be fixed on changing the losing culture that once again had a stranglehold on the Kansas program.

For Bowen, who played two seasons at KU in the early 1990s and worked at his alma mater for 12 seasons as an assistant before moving on to Western Kentucky and North Texas after former KU coach Mark Mangino left, that has been more of a return to normal than any-

KANSAS UNIVERSITY FRESHMEN JAMARI TRAYLOR, LEFT, AND BEN MCLEMORE WATCH the Late Night in the Phog festivities from the bench in this file photo from Oct. 14, 2011, at Allen Fieldhouse.

From now until they make their much-anticipated debuts in Allen Fieldhouse, the prowess of ineligible Kansas University freshmen basketball players Ben McLemore and Jamari Traylor will remain shrouded in mystery.

McLemore, a 6-foot-5, 185-pound guard from St. Louis, and Traylor, a 6-8, 220-pound forward from Chicago — who practiced second semester but could not play in games in accordance with NCAA eligibility rules — recently were willing to discuss what 16,300 fans can expect at the Oct. 12 Late Night in the Phog.

Of his best buddy McLemore, Traylor said: “The best play Ben had at practice this season was on a fast break.

Naadir (Tharpe, frosh guard) had the ball at halfcourt. He threw an alley-oop and Ben jumped the highest I’ve ever seen anybody jump in my life and he dunked it. I think practice ended off that.”

McLemore remembers the Jordanesque-moment well.

“I told Naadir to throw it up. I jumped pretty high to get it with two hands,” McLemore said with a smile.

“I’ve got a good vertical and stuff like that.”

His leaping ability was showcased on one other highlight-reel practice play.

Hanson leads entering Masters finale, but ‘Lefty’ looms

Charlie Riedel/AP Photo

PETER HANSON, OF SWEDEN, TIPS HIS CAP as he walks up the 18th fairway during the third round of the Masters golf tournament on Saturday in Augusta, Ga.

AUGUSTA, GA. (AP) — Phil Mickelson set off roars at Augusta National with a 20foot eagle putt for a share of the lead, and an amazing flop shot behind the 15th green that only he would dare try.

Peter Hanson answered with four birdies on his last five holes, claiming some of those cheers for himself and taking the outright lead Saturday in the Masters with a 7-under 65, the lowest score of the tournament.

What a finish — and it’s all just beginning.

“Fortune favors the brave at times here,” Padraig Harrington said.

“When you’re leading a tournament, that’s not the type of golf course you want to be on,” he added. “You want to be on probably a boring golf course — which this ain’t.”

That much was evident on a day filled with Mickelson cheers from every corner, a prelude for a final round that would figure to favor Mickelson.

Hanson, a 34-year-old Swede playing in only his second Masters, has never been closer than seven shots of the leaders in his previous 17 majors. He goes into Sunday with a one-shot lead

“

I’m standing in the middle of the fairway and I feel him breathing down my neck a little bit.”

— Swedish golfer Peter Hanson, who leads second-place Phil Mickelson by one stroke going into today’s finale over Mickelson, who already has three green jackets.

Hanson passed his first test.

He was walking up the 14th fairway when he heard a commotion that shook Augusta. He knew what it was without looking — Mickelson draining an eagle putt on the 13th hole, raising the putter with his right arm and slamming down his left fist to celebrate along with 15,000 of his best friends.

“I’m standing in the middle of the fairway and I feel him breathing down my neck a little bit,” Hanson said.

Hanson followed with an approach into 2 feet for birdie, a 15-foot putt from the fringe on the 15th, a 30-foot birdie putt over the ridge on the 17th and one last birdie at the 18th with a shot that stopped inside 3 feet from the cup.

He was at 9-under 207.

“I’ve been watching this tournament since I was a young kid, and seeing Freddie Couples and the guys go

and shoot 30 and 31 on the back nine is something you just dream about,” Hanson said.

Mickelson shot 30 on the back and signed for a 66, putting him in the final group at the Masters for the fourth time in the last nine years.

Lefty won the last three times he was in that spot.

“I love it here, and I love nothing more than being in the last group on Sunday at the Masters,” Mickelson said. “It’s the great thing in professional golf.”

Mickelson gave the leaderboard some star power when so many others faded or, in the case of Tiger Woods, never came close to getting there. Woods now has gone 26 consecutive holes on the back nine at Augusta without a birdie. He had to settle for a 72 and was 12 shots behind, his largest 54-hole deficit ever at the Masters.

But he wasn’t alone.

U.S. Open champion Rory McIlroy, who started the day one shot out of the lead, made double bogey from the trees on the first hole and it only got worse from there. He had three 6s on his card and went out in 42, finishing with a 77 that left him 10 shots behind. He played with Sergio Garcia, who shot 75. Neither made a birdie until No. 12, and they hugged each other on the green to celebrate.

Woodland withdraws with injury AUGUSTA, GA. (AP) — Gary Woodland’s left wrist ached on the green, off the tee and everywhere in between.

By the end of the day, he was s i m p l y Woodland counting strokes until he could be finished.

“I probably should have stopped,” Woodland said after playing the final 10 holes with pain shooting through his entire arm. “It was a long, long day.”

Woodland, who began Saturday four strokes off the lead at the Masters, withdrew after completing his third round Saturday. He played the last 11 holes at 11 over, making par on only three of them, and finished with a 13-over 85.

“I felt like I was right in the heart of the golf tournament. I thought I Please see WOODLAND, page 6B

Arkansas AD: Petrino probe ongoing FAYETTEVILLE, ARK. (AP) — Arkansas athletic director Jeff Long made it perfectly clear what he expects from his staff as he put coach Bobby Petrino on leave for keeping him in the dark about a sordid-looking relationship with a female employee. “It’s difficult Petrino any time that we have a coach, an employee that makes a misstep, it’s disappointing to me,� Long said. “We have high expectations. I think every coach and every administrator and every staff person knows we have high expectations. Certainly, I’m disappointed.�

Those expectations are squarely in the spotlight at Arkansas and for Long, who told The Associated Press on Saturday that he continues to work on the review of Petrino’s conduct throughout the weekend and likely into Easter Sunday.

Long didn’t offer a timetable for the conclusion of the review, which is examining a variety of issues surrounding Petrino’s motorcycle accident last weekend. Most notably, Thursday’s revelation through a police report that the 51-year-old Petrino was riding with a 25-year-old female employee at the time of the wreck.

Petrino initially said he was alone during the accident before admitting to Long on Thursday that he wasn’t.

As Long’s investigation continued Saturday, so too did the speculation surrounding the exact nature and timeframe of Petrino’s relationship with Jessica Dorrell, the football department employee who was riding with the coach.

Petrino, who is married with four children, was noticeably vague in his statement on Thursday — saying only that he had acknowledged a “previous inappropriate relationship� without naming Dorrell as the other party in that relationship.

Messages for the former Arkansas volleyball player and Razorback Foundation fundraiser, who was hired by Petrino on March 28, have yet to be returned.

ANAHEIM, CALIF. — Two hours before its season debut Friday, Angel Stadium was overcome with a red-hot buzz, folks dressed in bright jerseys and dazzling hopes filling the lots and crowding the gates, when one hip dude in a red polo shirt and new goatee rushed past everyone and scurried down to the batting cage.

It was Arte Moreno, and on opening day, he was going to get his 240 million dollars’ worth. “I told my wife we had to get here early,� Moreno said with a grin. “I didn’t want to miss batting practice.�

Around here, it’s no longer batting practice, it’s Pujols Practice, the best time of the day to watch the Pujols Presence knock balls off waterfalls and freeways.

It was the first regularseason appearance under the halo for the most angelic hitter in baseball, and everywhere Albert Pujols stepped, cameras clicked, people wearing his name on their backs cheered, and an owner swooned. “Have you watched him?

He’s just a machine,� said Moreno.

Behind the cage, between swings, the owner officially welcomed his biggest investment to the regular season with a giant hug — “I wished him the best, I wished him the very best.�

Then the boss retired upstairs to spend the next six or seven months — like all Angels fans — holding his breath for exactly that.

Pujols was brought here from St. Louis this winter to make this team the best, the very best, and nothing less will fly. “Everywhere in Los Angeles, you can feel a buzz, everybody talking about Albert and this team,� said Moreno. “But now we’ve got to play the games.�

For the next couple of hours, the Angels made their first Pujols game a throwback Angels game, plodding for seven innings, breathtaking for seven minutes, a 5-0 win over the Kansas City Royals on a night that showed the deep impact of the Pujols Punch.

He did nothing, but everything.

At the plate he was hitless in three appearances and helpless in one, lining out and fouling out and striking out before being intentionally walked to disbelieving boos from a crowd that had better get used to it. “At the end of the day, you want to deliver a great baseball experience to the fans,� Moreno said. “Albert Pujols is obviously that kind of superstar.�

At the end of Pujols’ first day, with fans forgetting the 0 for 3 and concentrating only on the “Ohhhh,� the boss was right.

CHARLESTON, S.C. — Serena Williams even impressed herself with her powerful showing at the Family Circle Cup on Saturday.

Williams needed less than an hour to dispatch second-seeded Samantha Stosur, 6-1, 6-1, and advance to the clay-court final. “You know, I think it was just one of those days that I could have done anything against anybody,� Williams said.

There aren’t many people in the world who could’ve withstood Williams’ performance at the Family Circle Tennis Center. The 10th-ranked player was on her game from the start, winning the match’s first eight points and rarely letting Stosur catch a breath.

Today, Williams will face Lucie Safarova, a 6-0, 6-0 winner over Polona Hercog, for the championship.

Stosur held serve to cut Williams’ lead to 2-1, then lost the next nine games. Stosur, who defeated Williams to win the U.S. Open title last September, got a loud cheer from the crowd when she prevented Williams from shutting her out in the second set.

Williams hit a forehand winner to end the match moments later, and eliminated Stosur from a tournament for the second straight week.

Williams beat Stosur, 7-5, 6-3, last week at the Sony Ericsson Open, serving 20 aces in the hardcourt win.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL A person familiar with the decision tells The Associated Press that TCU is set to hire Trent Johnson as its next basketball coach.

The person said Saturday night that Johnson, who has been head coach at LSU the past four seasons, will be introduced on the Fort Worth campus as early as Monday. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because no official announcement had been made.

TCU, moving next season from the Mountain West Conference to the Big 12, is replacing Jim Christian.

Christian left last week to return to the MidAmerican Conference as coach at Ohio University. He won at least 20 games in each of his six seasons at Kent State before moving to TCU. Johnson is 67-64 at LSU, including an 18-15 record last season.

Thomas addresses firing MIAMI — Isiah Thomas said Saturday that he is deeply disappointed by his firing by Florida International, adding that he felt the long-struggling program was on the verge of a breakthrough season.

The Basketball Hall of Fame player was fired Friday. He went 26-65 in three years, and FIU’s program hasn’t had a winning record since 19992000. “I am deeply disappointed that I wasn’t given the time to finish the job of building FIU into one of the nation’s top basketball programs,�

Thomas said in a statement released to The Associated Press. “The foundation for success had been laid and we were looking forward to having our breakout year, with another strong recruiting class.�

SERENA WILLIAMS CELEBRATES A SHOT against Samantha Stosur during the semifinal of the Family Circle Cup. Williams won, 6-1, 6-1, on Saturday in Charleston, S.C. named the new head coach at Miami University.

Cooper will be formally introduced at a news conference on Monday.

Cooper has served as an assistant at Auburn, Oregon, South Carolina and Fayetteville State.

Last year’s Tennessee State squad went 20-13 — the school’s first winning mark since 1995-96 and the Tigers’ first 20-win season in 32 years.

Among the victories was a 72-68 upset of thenNo. 7 Murray State on Feb. 9.

Jimenez to drop appeal CLEVELAND — Indians manager Manny Acta says pitcher Ubaldo Jimenez plans to drop the appeal of his five-game suspension following his season debut. Jimenez was suspended for intentionally throwing at Colorado All-Star shortstop Troy Tulowitzki in his final start of spring training last Sunday. Jimenez drilled his former teammate in the elbow, escalating a running feud the two had all spring.

“One time I stole the ball from Jeff Withey and had a break by myself in the open court. I jumped pretty high and dunked it,” McLemore said.

He was eager to point out Traylor’s top play on the scout team at practice the past four months.

“Jamari did a doubleclutch dunk through the lane through everybody.

He double-clutched and dunked over a 7-footer,” McLemore said, ostensibly referring to the team’s only 7-footer, Withey.

Traylor, who worked with and against KU’s big men daily, said his own personal highlight was “probably a defensive play. I probably got a couple blocks in a row, (but) I can’t think of anything off the top of my head now.”

It’s unlikely the consecutive blocks came against 6-10, 237-pound AllAmerican Robinson, who taught Traylor a thing or two this season.

“Thomas didn’t guard me as much as I had to guard him. I made sure I guarded him,” said Traylor, who was determined to learn from the best. “It’s real intense going against him. Sometimes he gets real mad with me. He tries to push me around all the time. I’ve got to show him I’m not a chump, you know?”

McLemore and Traylor made sure to bring their Agames to practice every day.

There was no reason to hold back, considering they wouldn’t be allowed to play in games until preseason 2012-13.

“If there was a time I cried, it was probably the day I found out I was ineligible (in October). Other than that, I don’t think I got that frustrated in practice,” said Traylor, Rivals.com’s No. 141-ranked player in the recruiting Class of 2011. He played his senior year at IMG Academies in Florida. “It’s going to benefit me in the long run because I got a year of practice under my belt. I already know all the plays, and I’ve been practicing against one of the best players in college who is going to be a great NBA player. That practice is going to prepare me for anything next year.”

Noted McLemore, a former Oak Hill Academy/ Houston Christian Life Center standout who entered KU as the No. 17-rated player in the country: “When I first got here, I was sluggish and tired trying to guard Tyshawn (Taylor). He’s a fast point guard. I think my defense has picked up. It is getting better.

“I think next year will be a shock, going from not playing at all and coming out and playing a lot of minutes,” McLemore added. “It’s going to be weird because I’m going to be a freshman again playing a lot of minutes. I can’t wait.”

Traylor said a highlight was soaking up information from assistant coach Danny Manning, who is now headed to Tulsa as the Hurricane head coach.

Manning worked with KU’s big men.

It’s a close team.

We’re really like brothers.”

“I’m not going to forget it. You can’t forget that kind of stuff,” Traylor said of pointers from the 15-year NBA veteran.

“I learned so much it will stick with me forever. I learned a lot of the little things as far as footwork, positioning, timing.

It’s a lot more complex than I thought it was when you’re just running around in AAU. There’s a lot more thinking involved at this level.”

The two definitely felt part of the team, even though they were not allowed (by the NCAA) to sit on the bench during NCAA Tournament games. Both players sat in seats in the crowd, though close to court level.

“Sometimes guys come out of the huddle and point to me, and I feel I’m part of the team all the time,” Traylor said. “We get acknowledgment from the guys. It’s special to me.”

“It’s a close team,” McLemore noted. “We’re really like brothers.” !

T-Rob, Taylor visit L.A. over weekend: KU senior Tyshawn Taylor and junior Thomas Robinson were spotted sitting behind the Houston Rockets bench Friday during the Rockets’ victory over the Los Angeles Lakers at L.A.’s Staples Center. Former KU teammate Marcus Morris of the Rockets did not play in the game.

Morris posted a picture of the three together on Instagram. It’s not known whether Robinson and/or Taylor met with any prospective agents during the trip to L.A., as the Morris twins did during a similar trip last spring. Taylor and Robinson are scheduled to be back for Monday’s basketball banquet (6:30 p.m., Holidome). Robinson, who has yet to officially announce his intentions to enter the NBA Draft, could use the banquet as a forum to announce his plans to turn pro. He’s currently listed as the No. 4 pick overall by draftexpress. com and long been considered a lock to leave KU after three seasons. The first day of the spring National Letter of Intent signing period is April 11 (Wednesday), meaning any nonsenior that makes himself eligible for the NBA Draft before then must remove his name by Tuesday night in order to retain collegiate eligibility by the NCAA. In an intriguing spinoff, the NBA does not recognize this new NCAA-mandated college deadline. In the NBA’s eyes, players have until April 29 to enter their names into the draft. !

This, that: Future KU player Andrew White, a 6-6, 210-pound senior small forward from Miller School in Chester, Va., scored 14 points off 6-of13 shooting in the Black Team’s 130-127 loss to the White squad at Friday’s Derby Festival Classic allstar game in Louisville.

White had six assists and two steals.

thing. His playing days under Glen Mason and coaching days under Mangino were marked by discipline, and Bowen believes that having a coach like Weis and a defensive coordinator like Dave Campo running the show will go a long way toward bringing those days back.

“You need to respect what those two guys have accomplished in this profession,” Bowen said.

“Our players do. Our kids are going out there and they’re believing in it, and they’re holding onto every word we say and everything we coach, and there’s a lot of urgency in our players right now.”

That feeling is not onesided. Far from it. Both Campo, who is coaching college football for the first time since 1988, and a handful of the KU players have said they appreciate what Weis and his entire coaching staff are doing.

That includes Bowen, who not only has coaching chops but also experience at KU. “I have a lot of respect for that young man, I’ll tell you that,” Campo said of Bowen. “All I know is he (coached) a game in the Orange Bowl, a big game that KU won. He means an awful lot to me because he brings instant credibility to how to play football in this league. He and I work basically directly together... This guy’s a good football coach and I’m excited to have him with me.”

Many of the players, several whom Bowen coached in 2009, feel the same way.

“It’s definitely a good feeling,” said senior safety Bradley McDougald of having Bowen in crimson and blue again. “He’s one of those coaches who rides me a little harder just because he knows me, he knows what I’m capable of and he wants to get the best out of me.”

Added senior Toben Opurum: “He brings a lot of energy out, you can tell he’s happy to be back. And we’re happy to have him back on the team. I think a lot of guys feel like, ‘OK, we’ve got coach Bowen back, this is our opportunity to shine.’”

Bowen shares that sentiment. And because of the smile that’s plastered on his face and the pep in his step that’s evident at practice, he could not hide it if he tried.

“It’s good,” he said. “You have all the hard parts of leaving a job, telling the previous boss you’re leaving and all that. Once I got all that out of the way, I walked in here, went into my office and sat down and it hits you. It puts a smile on your face, and it’s good to be back and see familiar people. That’s the big thing, seeing people that you truly like and care about on a day-to-day basis, as opposed to being places where you just know people or you know that person’s name. It’s just a lot better to truly know someone, someone who, when you see their face, you’re happy to see ‘em.

It’s that way all over town, all over this building.

“It’s good to be doing something that you really care about and truly care about in your heart. You go to other universities and you coach there, you work there, you put your heart into it, but it’s just different here.”

Brewers 6, Cardinals 0 MILWAUKEE — A year ago, the Milwaukee Brewers had to get by without Zack Greinke or Corey Hart early in the season because of injuries. The importance of having both players healthy right away certainly showed on Saturday.

Hart homered twice, Greinke pitched four-hit ball for seven innings, and the Brewers beat the St. Louis Cardinals, 6-0.

“It makes a difference,” Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. “Last year, we didn’t have those two guys together for quite a while.”

Rickie Weeks homered while Aramis Ramirez and Carlos Gomez added RBI doubles for the Brewers, who rebounded after dropping Friday’s opener.

Ryan Braun had a pair of doubles and drew a walk after going 0 for 5 on Friday. Greinke (1-0) continued the dominant form he showed at Miller Park all last season. He didn’t walk a batter and struck out seven.

“That’s as good as it gets,” Roenicke said.

“That’s what we saw in spring training.”

Greinke started last season on the disabled list after fracturing a rib in a pickup basketball game, and acknowledged that it took him awhile to find his form.

Greinke’s strong outing overshadowed the long-awaited return to the mound for the Cardinals’ Adam Wainwright, who missed all of the 2011 season after having elbow surgery.

LaRoche drove a tworun shot off Matt Garza in the fourth. The Cubs chased Gio Gonzalez with three in the bottom half to go up 4-2. But Washington sent up 11 batters in the eighth.

ROYALS 6, ANGELS 3

Hochevar sharp in K.C.’s first victory ————

Hosmer, Moustakas connect for solo shots against Los Angeles ANAHEIM, CALIF. (AP) — Luke Hochevar was tired of getting knocked around by the Los Angeles Angels so he took a new approach.

Hochevar took a shutout into the seventh inning, and the Kansas City Royals received solo homers from Eric Hosmer and Mike Moustakas against Dan Haren in a 6-3 victory Saturday.

“That’s a good ballclub, no doubt about it, and it’s not an easy lineup to navigate through,” Hochevar said. “They’re stacked from one to nine, so I knew that I had to execute a lot of quality pitches.

That was my focus, especially with Haren on the mound. Early on, I think the results were better than my execution, and then I kind of hit a groove in the fourth and started making a lot of quality pitches in key situations.”

Hochevar (1-0) was charged with two runs and five hits over 6 1/3 innings in his season debut.

The right-hander, who was the first overall pick in the 2006 draft by the Royals and their openingday starter last year, came in 0-3 with a with an 8.02 ERA in his four previous starts against the Angels.

Hochevar gave up a pair of one-out singles in the seventh and was relieved

by Tim Collins with a 5-0 lead. Bobby Abreu lined the left-hander’s first pitch into the right field corner for an RBI double and Torii Hunter scored on a groundout by Vernon Wells.

The Angels, who were shut out through the first five innings a major league-worst 50 times

with a double in his second game with the Angels after a severe ankle injury in 2010, when he jumped on home plate after a walkoff grand slam.

Jeff Francoeur, playing in his 1,000th regular-season game, hit a two-run single with the bases loaded in the first. It was the fourth straight hit allowed

by Haren, who minimized the damage by striking out Betancourt and Moustakas. Quintero led off the Royals’ second with the first of his two doubles and scored on Lorenzo Cain’s sacrifice fly.

“I didn’t make too many quality pitches, and that’s a recipe for disaster,” Haren said. “I threw too many pitches up in the zone and wasn’t really controlling the count too well. Obviously they got off to a quick start, getting four singles in a row, and I just never really got into a rhythm.”

KANSAS CITY’S ERIC HOSMER, LEFT, AND LORENZO CAIN celebrate after scoring on a single by Jeff Francoeur during the first inning. The Royals defeated the Los Angeles Angels, 6-3, on Saturday in Anaheim, Calif. last season, have done so in each of their first two games despite the addition of three-time NL MVP Albert Pujols. Friday night they won their opener 5-0 with a five-run eighth after getting blanked for six innings by Bruce Chen.

“We’re still in spring training mode and pitchers are way ahead of us, but I think we’ll catch up soon. You can’t panic right now with 160 games to go,” Hunter said. “Today was one of those days.

Hochevar kept us offbalance and we couldn’t score any runs off him. He

changed speeds, had his cutter working, and that’s something we couldn’t make adjustments on.”

Jonathan Broxton, who became the Royals’ closer after two-time All-Star Joakim Soria had seasonending Tommy John surgery April 3, followed Collins and Greg Holland out of the bullpen and got the final three outs after inheriting a 6-2 lead.

He gave up a sacrifice fly

by Abreu before retiring Wells on a game-ending double play.

Broxton hasn’t had a save since May 2, 2011,

with the Dodgers — he was shut down two days later because of bone spurs in his elbow and missed the rest of the season.

“It feels pretty good to get out there again.

My elbow felt fine,” said the two-time All-Star. “It was very frustrating last year, especially because I couldn’t go out there and help the team win. I hated that the season ended up the way it did for me, but hopefully they got everything straight. I’m fine right now, so we’ll just continue to go forward.”

Pujols got his first hit with Los Angeles, a double in the fourth. He lined a 2-2 pitch over the head of left fielder Alex Gordon with one out in the fourth and tried to score on a single to left by Kendrys Morales. But Gordon, who won a Gold Glove last season, charged the ball and made a one-hop throw to the plate to get Pujols, whose hook slide appeared to have beaten Humberto Quintero’s tag.

Haren (0-1) gave up five runs and 11 hits over 5 1/3 innings and struck out five. Morales was 4 for 4

AMERICAN LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Fielder tags two as Tigers trip Red Sox The Associated Press

Detroit 10, Boston 0 DETROIT — Prince Fielder hit his first two home runs with the Detroit Tigers, and Miguel Cabrera added a pair of his own in a 10-0 rout of the Boston Red Sox on Saturday.

Fielder signed a $214 million, nine-year deal with Detroit in the offseason, forming a powerful middle of the order with Cabrera that was on full display against Red Sox starter Josh Beckett (0-1).

Cabrera opened the scoring in the first inning with a two-run shot to leftcenter, and Fielder added a solo homer in the fourth to the same part of the ballpark.

Cabrera and Fielder hit back-to-back solo homers in the fifth.

Duane Below (1-0) got the win in relief after Detroit starter Doug Fister left in the fourth with a strain in his left side.

Alex Avila also hit a two-run homer.

It was the 21st multihomer game for Cabrera and the 23rd for Fielder, and the Tigers certainly hope it’s a sign of things to come. Cabrera even showed off some impressive reflexes at third base, where he moved this season to make room for Fielder at first. Cabrera lunged to his left to make a diving catch of Jarrod Saltalamacchia’s line drive in the fifth.

Cabrera’s second homer — in the bottom of that inning — was originally ruled a double when it

appeared the ball may have taken an odd bounce under the fence in leftcenter after hitting it near the top. After a review, the umpires ruled the ball cleared the top.

There was no doubt about Fielder’s second shot, a line drive over the wall in right that made it 7-0.

Beckett went to Cleveland earlier in the week to get a second opinion on a thumb injury, but he made his start as scheduled. He allowed seven runs and seven hits in 4 2-3 innings, and the five homers he gave up equaled a career high.

Fister was much sharper, allowing three hits and a walk and striking out three in 3 2-3 innings, but he had to be pulled because of his injury. Below, who nearly won a job as Detroit’s fifth starter during spring training, came in and allowed one hit in 2 1-3 innings.

Octavio Dotel relieved Below and set a record by appearing in a game for his 13th franchise. Dotel signed with the Tigers after helping St. Louis to a World Series title last year.

Austin Jackson, whose ninth-inning single gave Detroit a 3-2 win over Boston in Thursday’s opener, drove home a run with a sixth-inning grounder.

Detroit scored two more in the seventh after Saltalamacchia — the Boston catcher — threw wildly to first on what could have been an inning-ending double play.

Rays 8, Yankees 6 ST. PETERSBURG, FLA. — Luke Scott had three hits and drove in three runs in his debut as Tampa Bay’s designated hitter, helping the Rays beat New York.

The Yankees trimmed a six-run deficit to two in the ninth, even getting Alex Rodriguez to plate as the potential tying run. But Fernando Rodney came out of the bullpen to retire A-Rod on a first-pitch grounder to a perfectly positioned second baseman to the left of second base. Left-hander David Price (1-0) allowed two runs and five hits over 6 1/3 innings to win for the first time since Aug. 28.

Masters CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

Fred Couples, at 52 the oldest player atop the leaderboard going into the weekend at Augusta, bogeyed his first two holes and tried to stay in the game. He wound up with a 75 and was seven shots behind.

A win would give Mickelson his fourth green jacket, same as Woods and Arnold Palmer.

But this is far from a two-man race.

Former British Open champion Louis Oosthuizen rode his sweet swing to a 69 and was only two shots behind. Bubba Watson birdied the last hole for a 70 and was three shots back, followed by Matt Kuchar, who joined Mickelson as the first players in 13 years to birdie the 18th hole each of the first three rounds.

The group at 4-under 212 included Lee Westwood (72) and Harrington, who shot 68 and summed up what awaits today.

“It’s not the player that plays the most consistent that wins at the Masters.

The player who plays probably some of the most exciting golf wins at the Masters,” Harrington said.

“It’s not really a contest of fairways and greens.

It’s a bit more flamboyancy in it. You only have to look at the way Phil has won some of his majors.

You’ve got to take on golf shots.”

And to think Mickelson almost lost this Masters on the opening day.

With a lost ball and a triple bogey on the 10th hole, he was 4-over par through 12 holes on Thursday and hitting the ball in places even he had never seen at Augusta.

Only his short game saved him that day, and he escaped with a 74.

He has been on the move ever since, and Lefty was at his best on Saturday.

If there was one shot that showed why he has an imagination unlike others, it came from behind the green on the par-5 15th. Moments earlier, Hanson was in about the same spot and played a conventional bump-andrun up the slope to a green that runs quickly toward the hole. Hanson went just over the green, and had to make a 15-foot putt.

Mickelson took out his 64-degree wedge — he carries that club for moments like this — and played a full flop shot that landed softly and trickled to 4 feet below the cup for a birdie.

How tough was the shot? Even Mickelson said it was risky.

“It was possible to slide underneath it, so I leveled out my weight a little bit so that I would not take too deep a divot and the ball popped up nicely,” Mickelson said, describing the shot as if giving a clinic.

Hanson was on the 16th hole when all this unfolded.

“To be honest, I never saw that high flop shot from there,” he said. “He’s just amazing with the wedge and the way he plays those shots. When I ended up in that same spot on 15, I just sought the bump-and-run and get it past the hole and leave myself an uphill putt. He

had a pretty good chance,” he said. “For this to happen, I’m pretty upset right now.”

Woodland felt some pain in the wrist earlier this year, when he was hitting a lot of balls in an effort to rework his swing.

It wasn’t anything that lingered, however.

But the wrist was sore and stiff Saturday morning and, despite taking

THE MASTERS

“

It’s not the player that plays the most consistent that wins at the Masters. The player who plays probably some of the most exciting golf wins at the Masters. It’s not really a contest of fairways and greens. It’s a bit more flamboyancy in it.”

— Irish professional golfer Padraig Harrington goes up and just hits a full swing and goes straight up in the air.”

But it was a lesson for Hanson, especially for the final round: Don’t watch, just play.

“He has a few shots around the green that I’m not even close to,” Hanson said. “I just have to play my game and work around this golf course the absolute best I can.”

First, he has to get through the night. Hanson expects that sleep won’t come easily — not when you’re in the lead for the first time in a major, with a green jacket on the line.

He has quietly risen to No. 25 in the world ranking, with a pair of top 5s in the World Golf Championships and a runnerup finish at the Qatar Masters. Hanson also has spent time in good company. He started working in the offseason with coach Gary Gilchrist, who also teaches Yani Tseng, the No. 1 player in women’s golf.

The last time he was in a twosome with Mickelson was at Celtic Manor, and timing could not have been worse. Mickelson had just set an American record for most losses in the Ryder Cup, and he had not contributed a point all week.

“He came out so hungry and desperate to win,” Hanson said. “He started off with four straight birdies. So I had no chance.”

It’s up for grabs today — but not for everyone.

The biggest surprise was McIlroy, who has been flawless for the last six months and was poised to seize control of this major when he started out just one shot behind. With two double bogeys and a 42 on the front, his Masters effectively was over.

“Seems like every year I come here, I throw a bad nine holes out there,” McIlroy said, referring to his 43 on the back nine of the final round last year when he lost a four-shot lead.

As loud as it was, Woods rarely heard it so quiet.

He missed out on all the action by playing so early — he was done about the time the leaders teed off. And he did nothing to make anyone cheer.

For the second straight round, Woods failed to birdie any of the par 5s.

In his previous 17 years at the Masters, he had gone birdie-free on the par 5s only twice.

Woods has made only one birdie all week on the back nine — the first hole he played, No. 10, on Thursday.

“I unfortunately did not play the par 5s very well today,” Woods said. “I’m telling you, it was just so close to being a really good round of golf.”

some anti-inflammatories, the pain got progressively worse as the day went on.

When he made a swing on No. 8, pain shot up his arm and down through his hand. The athletic trainer who examined Woodland on No. 11 urged him to quit. So did his caddie.

But Woodland pressed on. His left wrist was heavily taped, and he held a bag of ice on it between shots.

“The trainer didn’t think I could do anymore damage,” he said.

“I worked too hard to get here. I wanted to at least finish today.”

TIGER WOODS TEES OFF during the third round of the Masters golf tournament on Saturday in Augusta, Ga.

Tiger’s tantrum upsets fans AUGUSTA, GA. (AP) — Tiger Woods’ latest temper tantrum did not go over well with some fans at the Masters.

Woods caused a scene with his boorish behavior at buttoned-down Augusta National on Friday, scowling, cursing, tossing clubs. He even went so far as to give one a swift kick after his shot on the 16th tee landed in the bunker.

“It’s not what you want to see,” said Charles Hatcher III, who was at the course on Saturday with his 11-yearold son, Charles IV, and Woods his father, Charles. “Golf is a gentleman’s game, and you should treat it as such.”

Especially at Augusta.

The home of the Masters oozes decorum. Members wear their green jackets no matter how high the temperatures climb; there are no garish video boards

or corporate logos to take away from the simple beauty of the shrubs and the Georgia pines. “Patrons” know their golf and their history, and show a proper appreciation for both.

“I’m not making excuses, trust me. What he’s been through — largely brought on by himself — and not playing up to expectations, and the expectations he puts on himself, it’s hard sometimes to keep your emotions in check,” said twotime U.S. Open champion Curtis Strange, working as a broadcaster at the Masters. “With that said, you have to be somewhat aware of the stage you’re on.

“This isn’t Bay Hill or even some other tournament event,” Strange said.

“This is the Masters.”

Expectations that Woods would win a fifth green jacket skyrocketed two weeks ago when he won at Bay Hill — his first PGA Tour victory in 30 months. But his chances began imploding with

a flurry of wayward tee shots, blocked approaches and missed putts from close range.

As his game melted down, so did he. He cursed the bad shots or took mock swings in anger — sometimes doing both. He hung his head or looked skyward with exasperation after the missed putts.

He flipped clubs and, after that poor tee shot on 16, booted his 9-iron about 15 yards.

Diego Maradona would have been proud. Ben Hogan, not so much.

“Am I conscious of it?

No,” Woods said after Saturday’s round, in which he limited himself to glares and one angry toss. “Certainly I’m frustrated at times. I apologize if I offend anybody by that. But I’ve hit some bad shots.

It’s certainly frustrating at times not to hit the ball where you need to hit it.”

This was hardly the first glimpse of Woods’ temper. It’s easy to gauge his level of frustration at any tournament by reading his lips after a bad shot

or two. Last year at Augusta National he cursed so much CBS would have been justified if it had used a “parental discretion is advised” disclaimer.

Fans, however, expected to behold a new, improved Woods when he returned from the sex scandal that cost him his marriage and nearly two years of a magnificent career, promising to respect the game and the fans who pay dearly to watch him play.

A person close to Augusta National operations said no one from the tournament had talked to Woods about his behavior in the second round, but Woods is subject to discipline by the PGA Tour.

Tour policy states that players can be disciplined for conduct unbecoming a professional even at tournaments that are cosponsored or approved by the PGA Tour, such as the major championships.

The tour doesn’t comment on discipline, however, so whether he’s fined might never be known.

PHIL MICKELSON PUMPS HIS FIST after a birdie putt on the 18th green during the third round of the Masters golf tournament on Saturday in Augusta, Ga.

Magic of Mickelson ignites Masters again

By Tara Sullivan The Record (Hackensack N.J.)

AUGUSTA, GA. — Masters 2012 came alive at 4:55 p.m. Saturday, exploding under a lateafternoon sun in the throes of a back-nine charge we’ve seen before.

Phil Mickelson, returning to the major course that doubles as his home-field advantage, woke up his own echoes with a stirring run of below-par golf, erasing for good the predetermined notion this Masters would conclude with a Tiger Woods-Rory McIlroy battle of revival versus arrival.

Watching his eagle putt take its path toward the bottom of the 13th hole, Mickelson forcefully reminded us he has no intention of being on the outside of any discussion of Masters dominance.

As he raised the golf club gripped in his left hand and pumped a triumphant fist with his right, the ball drained into the cup and the stands behind the green erupted with raucous applause. The sea of reflective fist-pumps, the sustained cheer from assembled galleries, and the shift in movement to follow Phil combined to tell us how much this tournament needed a moment like this.

“When that putt went in, that was such a good feeling,” he said.

For you and us both, Phil.

With Woods stagnant, with McIlroy flailing, with Fred Couples clinging to relevance, the tantalizing leaderboard we looked at going into Saturday’s action had begun to dissipate. At least until Mickelson charged in and took control, and now he’s gunning for his fifth major and his fourth Masters, which would tie Woods and Arnold Palmer all time behind only Jack Nicklaus.

Mickelson’s moment of the day was the eagle on 13, his favorite hole, a putt so reminiscent of the Saturday eagle two years ago that helped set up his third Masters win.

It mattered so much this time because it followed birdies on holes 10 and 12 and preceded two more birdies on 15 and 18, an amazing run that left Mickelson at 8-under for the tournament. His back-nine 30 put him

COMMENTARY one stroke behind leader Peter Hanson of Sweden, but more importantly, put him right next to Hanson for today’s final pairing.

There is no place in his golfing world Mickelson would rather be.

“I love it here and I love nothing more than being in the last group on Sunday at the Masters,” he said. “It’s the greatest thing in professional golf.”

This is Mickelson’s tournament now. He knows it. We know it.

Hanson put a voice to it, admitting after he pulled into the clubhouse lead that he could feel Mickelson’s presence. “I know a one-shot lead over Mickelson is pretty much nothing,” he said. “I don’t think it matters too much.”

This is the power of Mickelson’s stature here among the Georgia pines and flowering trees, the one location that has always rewarded his aggressive, risk-reward style of play better than anywhere else. Once he broke through and won here in 2004, once he slipped into that size 42-long green jacket and stripped himself of the dreaded oh-fer in all of his previous majors, everything changed. The pressure valve opened, the burden was lifted, and golf at Augusta became a routine host to Mickelson’s Masters magic.

“I just feel really confident in the way I’ve been playing and the way I’ve been putting and in this setting and on this golf course,” Mickelson said Saturday, trying but failing to suppress the grin that constantly threatened to take over his sunburnished face. “Weatherwise, it was the most incredible, beautiful day here at Augusta, perfect for scoring opportunities.”

He made the most of them. As he walked up the long 15th fairway, the whispers of excited fans were growing consistently louder, the galleries growing thicker and deeper. “Did you see Phil?

Did you see that eagle?” they asked each other.

“Go Phil!” they shouted toward him.

Mickelson contemplated his approach shot, mindful of his past experience with a hole that has

too often tempted him to the dark side of his game, taunting his aggressiveness when a cooler head should prevail. He took out what he thought was a safe choice, but even his 5-iron, backed by his adrenaline, sent the ball too long and too far. Left with a risky lie, Mickelson made a risky decision.

One perfect flop shot later, his ball landed in birdie range.

“That lob shot normally would be absolutely impossible, but because the green was receptive and the first bounce just killed it, it just trickled down the slope to about five feet,” he said.

Still smiling about it more than an hour later, it felt as if Mickelson would dissect and discuss his shots for a few more hours, so happy to remember a day full of success. He was so unlike the delusional Woods, whose even-par unevenness turned him back into the man searching for his game and his confidence, insisting he is just on the cusp of excellence despite three days of evidence to the contrary. A day after Woods drop-kicked one club, he slammed another, issuing one of those “I apologize if I offended anybody,” apologies that feels like he was actually saying, “I’m sorry I got caught.”

Woods, 12 shots and 37 golfers behind the leader, couldn’t maintain the form that saw him win in Bay Hill only a few weeks ago. McIlroy, sadly, found the form that torpedoed his three-day lead a year ago, falling apart across a front nine that included two double-bogeys and two bogeys. The two we thought would be waging a battle across Sunday had to move aside for Mickelson.

When Mickelson arrived here last week and spoke to reporters, he was asked what it would mean to match Palmer and Woods with four Masters titles. “A lot,” he deadpanned.

Pressed for elaboration, Mickelson slowed his speech and practically drawled his answer. “It ... would ... mean ... an ... awful ... lot,” he said.

Luckily for Masters 2012, he’s in position to make it happen. At 4:55 p.m. Saturday, he made this Masters come alive.

COMMENTARY

Gerald Herbert/AP File Photo

IN THIS DEC. 12, 2010 FILE PHOTO, NEW ORLEANS SAINTS DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR GREGG WILLIAMS gestures during a game against the St. Louis Rams, in New Orleans.

Bounty recording pins Saints, NFL

By Monte Poole The Oakland Tribune

No matter the results of any investigation, or how much evidence is uncovered and presented, nothing ever hits an unaware public with more force than an actual recording.

A recording is twice better than a smoking gun because it makes witnesses of us all, and in perpetuity.

And now a single recording exposes the brutal underside of America’s abiding sports passion, NFL football as millions have come to know — and love.

The incriminating audio recording released Thursday by Yahoo!

Sports was supplied by documentary filmmaker Sean Pamphilon, who spent much of the 2011 season with the New Orleans Saints, now infamous for operating a “bounty” system wherein defensive players were financially rewarded for intentionally injuring opponents.

Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, the alleged mastermind of the program and already serving an indefinite suspension from the league, is heard exhorting his unit to deliberately hurt members of the 49ers in the Jan. 14 NFC divisional playoff game at Candlestick Park.

Williams urges his players to see if 49ers wideout Kyle Williams really has recovered from a concussion sustained three weeks earlier against Seattle and implores them to target the heads of quarterback Alex Smith and running back Frank Gore.

The assistant doesn’t stop there. He also wants his troops to attack the ankles of tight end Vernon Davis and to test the will of wideout Michael Crabtree, reminding them to “take out that outside ACL,” a clear and direct reference to the most common knee injury sustained by professional athletes.

The audio, recorded in a meeting the night before the game against the 49ers, is profane and ugly, a veteran professional football coach preaching not only violence but bloodlust.

If only this were dramatically different from the preachings of other coaches.

The NFL’s problem here is that it knows Williams’ words are only slightly more twisted than those routinely uttered by hyped-up coaches and players at most levels of football, from high school to the NFL. It’s a rare pregame speech that does not make some reference to beating up the other team.

Where Williams crossed the line is with specifics — he put bull’seyes on individuals and

body parts — and the implication of financial reward for those who successfully carried out his vision.

Understand, though, the NFL is fully aware of what it sells. It sells sheer violence, often brutal and always for maximum profit, in a cleverly designed and masterfully marketed package.

The Pro Football Hall of Fame is filled with defensive players who were better than their peers at ratcheting up the violence and being able to execute their desires to punish offensive players.

Retired defensive back Ronnie Lott, who earned his stripes with the 49ers, is a legitimate NFL legend. His Hall enshrinement was greased by his reputation for intimidation, which was earned by his propensity for violent collisions, some of which temporarily disabled opponents.

Lott referred to those hits as “woo licks,” because they prompted crowds to respond with a prolonged “wooo.” The “wooo” was an expression of admiration.

NFL fans expect violence and often relish it as part of the game, just as knockouts are to boxing and blood is to the hugely prosperous mixed martial arts. We’ve seen enough footage over the years that, if we were paying full attention, we would not be surprised by such rhetoric as that uttered by Gregg Williams.

It’s politically incorrect to equate sports to war, but is football not a form of hand-to-hand combat?

Does it not purposefully test toughness and push the limits of pain? Are actual body parts not sacrificed or compromised?

Players are instruments of combat, and hundreds of them end up limping around or gobbling painkillers or simply trying to exist in a post-concussion world of white noise and maddening confusion.

Every so often, one of them does something insane or surrenders to his hourly agony by taking his life.

Far too often that is the undesired payoff after years of dedication to coaches and teammates — to the game of football.

Players are willing weapons, and coaches like Gregg Williams are paid to load them.

The release of this recording puts the NFL in a public relations bind because Commissioner Roger Goodell and his fellow executives realize the speech is not that of some rogue coach ranting out of his mind. The vast majority of it is typical pep talk.

But it’s out in the open, a crisis the NFL has to address. And the league, knowing what it does about its business, already knows there is no easy solution.

Filing: Ex-star Sapp bankrupt FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. (AP) — Former NFL star Warren Sapp owes more than $6.7 million to creditors and back child support and alimony, according to a Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing in South Florida.

Sapp’s $6.45 million in assets includes 240 pairs of Jordan athletic shoes worth almost $6,500, a $2,250 watch and a lion skin rug worth $1,200.

He also reported losing his 2002 Super Bowl ring with the Bucs and his 1991 national championship ring from the University of Miami.

The court documents were filed in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Fort Lauderdale on March 30.

TMZ.com first reported the filing. A phone message and e-mail left Saturday with his attorney, Chad Pugatch, were not immediately returned.

Sapp’s average monthly income is $115,881, according to the filings, and includes $45,000 for a final

His contract with the NFL Network ends in August, the filings show, and it was unknown if the contract will be renewed.

Sapp, a former defensive tackle for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Oakland Raiders during his 13year NFL career, was also once a contestant on ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars.”

He was arrested in 2010 following an alleged domestic violence incident

at a Miami Beach hotel.

He would have faced one count of misdemeanor domestic battery, but prosecutors declined to prosecute saying in court documents that there were inconsistencies in the victim’s statements and evidence.

BILL KLIMAS, A REUTER ORGAN EMPLOYEE, ADJUSTS ORGAN PIPES March 31 at First Presbyterian Church, 2415 Clinton Parkway. The church spent seven years repairing and updating its organ, and will be unveiled for the first time today.

Church to unveil instrument it spent 7 years refurbishing PROCTOR CROW, WITH REUTER ORGAN, PLAYS the organ at First Presbyterian Church as Tracy Resseguie, the musical director at the church, listens March 31.

By Kelly Stroda

The façade of First Presbyterian Church has been likened to Bethlehem on more than one occasion. During Tracy Resseguie’s seven-year process of repairing and updating the church’s pipe organ, he realized the church needed a star of its own.

Now it has one — in the form of a Zimbelstern, a starshaped part of some church organs that rotates and makes a continuous tinkling sound when played.

But the church has much more than that: It has a whole new pipe organ, and this morning, on Easter Sunday, the congregation of the church will hear the organ sing for the first time.

The new organ, which was built by Reuter Organ Company in Lawrence, is double the size of its predecessor.

At 37 ranks, the organ will envelope the church with scores of harmonic tones it’s never been filled with before.

A rank is a set of pipes that make different sounds.

The previous organ was a 15-rank organ built by Müller Organ Company and installed when the church was built in 1968. After being played for more than 40 years, the organ

EVENSONG FOR NEW ORGAN At 6:30 p.m. May 6, First Presbyterian Church will hold a spring Evensong to celebrate the church’s new organ. Seven church choirs from across the state will convene at the church to make a mass choir of 150 people, including First Presbyterian’s choir. The mass choir will perform seven anthems, one directed by each of the choir directors.

The other directors and choirs include: !"Cecil Riney with Chapel Hill United Methodist Church from Wichita began to have problems.

“When you turned that old girl on, that was all you got,” Resseguie says.

Müller went out of business in the 1980s, so getting new

ast week my office was at the MercedesBenz Superdome in New Orleans.

Just 50 feet from the dome’s temporary basketball court, Journal-World photographer Nick Krug and I set up shop in a cold, drafty room to cover the Final Four.

This became our workspace for about eight hours each of our five days there. Even with the French Quarter only a few tantalizing blocks away, we were confined here, documenting press conferences, practices, interviews, open locker rooms and, finally, the actual games.

We weren’t alone. With us were 50-plus additional photographers, each in search of unique photographs of the participating players and coaches.

Easier said than done.

For instance, when a team locker room opens for interviews, dozens of writers and cameramen rush in to surround players. It’s like a rugby scrum, and the player is the ball.

There is little chance of getting unique images.

It’s a similar situation at game time. About 20 photographers sit at each end of the court on one side of the basket opposite the cheerleaders. The front 10 sit cross-legged on the hard pine, while the second row makes use of stools to gain a little height over the front row.

These are important positions, and a photographer’s spot on the floor can mean the difference between capturing a critical play or staring at the back of a referee.

In general, spots are assigned by importance of the media outlet. Photographers for the NCAA, Please see LENS, page 2C

Air wail: Imaginary-guitar shredders rock out

By Alex Garrison acgarrison@ljworld.com

On the stage are two men and a woman.

The woman, going by the name Carmen Monoxide, is petite and blonde and really rocking out. One of the men is unremarkably clad in jeans and a T-shirt, but the other man, long hair flailing as he jams, has the ripped shirt and studded leather look of a metal star.

The trio is getting into their song, jumping, lip-syncing and, yes, shredding their guitars.

But none of them are actually holding a guitar. They’re tearing up the stage at the Bottleneck and engaging the crowd with nothing but their imagined instruments.

Kansas City resident Brian Reeves is better known on stage as CorpAIRation, a suitand-tie-clad thrasher who progressively gets less and less buttoned up (he’s even got fake business cards made

up). He’s been competing in the area for about two years and says public air guitar events are “like a cross between wrestling, ice skating and rock ‘n’ roll.” It’s like a kid playing video games made into an adult party — but don’t count it out, he says, because it’s also just really good fun.

“I’ve never heard of anyone coming to one of these things and not leaving just saying, ‘That was amazing! I’m so glad I came,’” he says. “It can go in directions you never expected.”

With rules set out by the Air Guitar World Championships and its own documentary film, “Air Guitar Nation,” it’s a serious sport that gets Reeves’ competitive edge going.

“Everything’s better when you win, right?” he says.

Do the Easter Bunny and Easter egg hunts take away from the message of Christ’s resurrection?

ARTS NOTES Fundraiser celebrates women, femininity

Easter traditions can be a good teaching tool The Rev. Tom Brady, senior pastor, First United Methodist Church, 946 Vt.: All the secular attention given to Easter has the potential to make it an even greater holiday and religious celebration. The cultural hype and highly marketed products like bunnies, eggs, candies and Easter baskets can add to the attention the church tries to give to Easter.

I think the cultural and religious emphasis on Easter can work hand-inhand. It is truly a special time of year and a very special day. Spring is in the air and signs of new life are all around us.

Cards and gifts are sometimes exchanged and the stores are filled with symbols of Easter. An empty

plastic egg is the perfect symbol for an empty tomb. An egg of any sort can be an object to teach about Brady new life and how Jesus Christ was raised from death to life.

If the emphasis is only on jelly beans and chocolate, a great teaching opportunity is lost. This is the balance that every parent must determine. Much like Christmas, the opportunity to teach about Jesus is there. In my opinion, the two greatest Christian holidays are Christmas and Easter. They can be about Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny, or they can be about the birth, life,

death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

If you are a parent who does not know the story of Jesus and do not know much about the significance of the resurrection of Jesus, I would encourage you to take your family to a worship service on Easter morning. Balance out the bunnies and Easter egg hunts with an hour of worship and introduce your children to the true meaning of Easter. Make it a wonderful day of celebration.

Easter is about new life and new beginnings. The good news is that Christ was raised from death to life. Celebrate this good news on Easter morning!

Send your questions about faith and spiritual issues for our religion columnists to religion@ljworld.com.

Some Easter practices are pagan in origin The Rev. Shannah M. McAleer, senior minister, Unity Church of Lawrence, 900 Madeline Lane: We are a country of both secular and spiritual practices.

We may celebrate Easter with bunnies, egg hunts, and all sorts of fun spring festivities, and yet the power of the Christian teachings on the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus remain intact over time and geography.

Few people may actually even know that the Easter practices around eggs and bunnies and

the organ when it needed to be fixed.

Reuter removed the old organ in late January. The church has been using a piano during service for the past three months.

“It’s amazing how much we’ve missed it,” Resseguie says.

Some of the pipes from the former organ that were in better shape were refurbished and included in the new organ, keeping a touch of history with the new instrument.

The fact that Reuter built the new organ has a

such came from earthb a s e d p a g a n practices originally, so they no longer carry much “ w e i g h t ” McAleer as spiritual practices, if any.

The church really felt like it was like righting a wrong.”

— Tracy Resseguie, music director at First Presbyterian Church place in history, too. Reuter has been designing and constructing organs for more than 90 years.

In ’68, Müller outbid Reuter for the project, so in a way, Resseguie says, it’s fitting that the company built the new and refurbished organ.

“The church really felt like it was like righting a wrong,” he says.

The congregation voted on whether to install

and mystery of the times in our own lives that we might express as resurrection moments — times we transcend the physical realities of the world and move higher into the spiritual realm.

We give thanks for the way-shower Jesus who demonstrated through his own horrific and then transcendent experiences, how we may grow as people of a Christian faith.

May you experience all the joy that is Easter.

a new organ in July, and Resseguie said the vote was unanimous.

The capital campaign for the organ and a handful of smaller repairs to the church began in October.

The church has raised $600,000 so far, well above the $450,000 the organ installation and construction cost.

But before the organ could have its Easter debut, Bill Klimas, artistic director for Reuter, spent several days voicing the organ.

“The organ is a machine that has to be taught how to sing,” Klimas said. “And at this point, we’re giving it very beginning singing lessons.”

Lawrence resident Travis Arey, AKA Sid Benign, did get fourth place.

Arey says his persona is Sex Pistol Sid Vicious’ less cool little brother and that the competitive air guitar phenomenon is much like a “goofy” punk concert — kinda weird, very loud, but filled with people who just come out for fun.

“It may be a rag-tag group, but you know they’ll be your friends,” he says.

Jamie Nixon came out to the Lawrence event not to compete but to watch her friends not play guitar because she’s “a supportive friend,” she says.

She also likes the idea of air guitarists “creating a subculture” in their 60-second performances.

The competition was judged by Lawrencians

JOURNAL-WORLD PHOTOGRAPHER NICK KRUG, right, sets up one of several remote cameras in the Superdome in New Orleans Monday.

Lens CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

Sports Illustrated and Associated Press get prime seating. The JournalWorld is treated well, and our position was in the middle of the front row for the championship game.

In addition to these floor spots, many photographers increase their coverage by setting up remote cameras fired by radio transmitters.

When they fire the shutter of the camera in their hand, a remote camera automatically fires.

Multiple remotes are common. One photographer may have a wide-angle floor remote in front of them, one along the side of the court, one up in the stands, and possibly a remote above in the catwalk.

One press of the shutter may set off five cameras.

A motor-drive riff of seven-frames-a-second can capture 35 images from one moment of action. Some will hard-wire their remote cameras so images are immediately downloaded to a computer.

There is plenty of skill and luck in setting up and capturing a good remote shot. Finding a position, anticipating action, choosing your lens, and setting the focus point all go to determine your chance of success. Since we didn’t have many spare cameras, Nick set up only one remote. It was at the side of the court, looking across the three-point line and toward the Kansas University bench.

In my opinion, remotes can help increase the variety of coverage but don’t necessarily increase the quality of your coverage.

The best shots Nick and I got came from the camera in our hand and to our eye.

It’s a celebration of women and the dignity of femininity in all its forms — the “genius” of women.

So says Kalin Holthaus, a volunteer at the St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center, who’s organizing the fifth annual Genius of Women arts event and fundraiser for Family Promise of Lawrence.

Fifteen students and community members will perform everything from spoken word to dance to singing, doing original works and others that fit with “showing the gamut of femininity,” Holthaus says. Genius of Women has been going on through the St. Lawrence Center since 2007 and began at St. Louis University the year before.

The event is 7:30 p.m.

Friday in the Gridiron Ballroom of the Burge Union on Kansas University’s campus. It’s free but donations to Family Promise will be taken. There will also be a silent auction of an original piece of art.

BOOKS Rediscovering Dickens Book by Kansan explores author’s reformist mission

By Margie Carr

Starra Zweygardt, eighth-grader, Lawrence “I’m waiting on a hold on ‘The Hunger Games.’”

Edan Cohavi, sixth-grader, Lawrence “‘Time Cat.’”

Ashley Ennis, pharmacy student, Lawrence “I’m studying my pharmacotherapy textbook.”

Author Andrea Warren did not go about her latest book, “Charles Dickens and the Street Children of London” (Houghton Mifflin, 2011) like her six earlier works.

“I didn’t go looking for this topic,” she says. “This topic found me.”

Several years ago, while in London for a semester abroad program, Warren, who lives in Prairie Village and spent 10 years in Lawrence, signed up for an historic walk about London’s foundlings.

“I had seen references to London’s foundlings when I was doing research for the two orphan train books (“Orphan Train Rider,” 1996, and “We Rode the Orphan Trains,” 2001), and I thought it would be interesting,” she says.

The tour turned out to be more than interesting; it ended up being a pivotal event in Warren’s life and work.

“We toured the streets around the Parliament buildings, and it is a nice part of London today, but back then it was the slum area,” she says. “We walked by the hospital, the first one to treat London’s poor, and we walked by a surgeon’s office, and while we were walking, Charles Dickens’ name kept coming up.”

Warren, who has a master’s degree in British literature, had read her share of Dickens in school, but she had never considered herself a fan. And until that afternoon, she had not appreciated what he was able to accomplish for the poor through his work.

“The two leaders kept talking about him and I just didn’t feel like I was getting it,” she says. “Finally, I stopped and asked the guides what it was that they were saying about

Terry Redlightning, student, Lawrence “I’m researching background information on Charlotte Perkins Gilman.”

By Mary McNamara

Kailyn Keplinger, student, Lawrence “I’m picking out different children’s chapterbooks for a children’s literature class. We read picture books earlier in the semester and now are researching more upperlevel books.”

When you pick up a novel by Anne Tyler, you can expect certain things. It will be set in Baltimore. It will follow families populated by out-of-step characters ranging from the slightly odd to the wildly eccentric, whose actions, or nonactions, are motivated by a need for love and tangible sense of self; this need is sometimes conscious, sometimes not.

It will have a provocative, often seemingly contradictory title: “The Accidental Tourist,” “Saint Maybe,” “The Amateur Marriage,” “Breathing Lessons.” It will be a pleasure to read.

“The Beginner’s Goodbye,” Tyler’s 19th nov-

Dickens, and they said that he was one of England’s greatest reformers.”

It was as if a lightbulb went off in Warren’s head.

“I had never put the pieces together, but he had a mission in his writing,” she says.

It was not only a turning point in Warren’s understanding of Dickens but also a turning point for her own work.

“By the time I left the tour, I already had the title for the book,” she says.

“And I started going after the story with a stick. I couldn’t wait to get back into the novels to see how he was doing it.”

Suddenly, the writing, which she had previously found to be “tedious,” had become “informative.”

She saw how Dickens used his craft to create vivid scenes that documented the conditions of the slums: the air that the poor breathed, the water they drank, and the way they were exploited. Dickens created characters such as Oliver Twist, David Copperfield and Tiny Tim that were sympathetic to the upper classes.

“Over and over he gave his voice to those who could not speak for themselves, forcing people to see the poor,” Warren writes.

Using her research credentials at the British Library, Warren set about making the most of the time she had left in London.

“I was able to get back to a lot of primary source material,” she says, although she says there wasn’t much Dickens himself left.

“There was a partially completed autobiography, but he was secretive about his life. He never liked to be self-revealing.”

Through her research, she discovered Dickens’ personal connection to London’s poor. Although

NINETEENTH CENTURY NOVELIST CHARLES DICKENS worked in a factory as a child and played an important role in social reform as an adult.

Eventually he wound up in debtor’s prison, a dreary place Dickens recalled visiting.

When he was 12, the author went to work at Warren’s Blacking Factory on the banks of the Thames River, where he tied string and adhered labels to jars of shoe polish. Dickens wrote about the conditions at the “crazy, tumble-down” factory teeming with “old grey rats swarming down in the cellars.”

The plodding horse/eccentric main character here is Aaron Woolcott, whom Tyler has endowed with symbolism both physical — a childhood fever left him with a crippled arm and leg and a stammer — and professional. Aaron works at the vanity press his great-grandfather established, publishing, among other things, a series of books aimed at beginners: “The Beginner’s Guide to Wine,” “The Beginner’s Book of Dog Training.”

Tyler’s latest a mix of the classic themes el, features all of these things and more — there is a ghost — and less; just over 200 pages, it is, both in literal weight and narrative complexity, lighter than most of the Tyler canon. Which should not be construed as “less,” at least not in the pejorative sense of the word. In many ways, “Goodbye” feels like the center slice of an Anne Tyler novel, a distillation.

Hence this book’s title, and hence its almost novella-like nature, at least in comparison with Tyler’s other works, which often span generations.

“The Beginner’s Goodbye” confines itself to the months following the death of Aaron’s wife, Dorothy.

It’s classic Tyler, with characters who have dug themselves so deep into their emotional caves that they don’t realize how small the space is, and dark, until an avalanche removes the back wall.

‘Little House’ books join literary canon NEW YORK — Laura Ingalls Wilder, who already holds a special place in the hearts of millions of parents and children, soon will be added to the country’s official literary canon.

The Library of America announced that it will issue a boxed two-volume set this fall of Wilder’s “Little House” series, including “Little House on the Prairie” and “Little House in the Big Woods.” Wilder based the books on her family’s experiences as pioneers in the 19th century. She died in 1957 at age 90.

Founded in 1979, the Library of America specializes in clothbound volumes of classic American literature.

LILACS, WHOSE FRAGRANT BLOSSOMS are a much-loved harbinger of spring, are long-lived but can lose vigor over time and will eventually produce fewer blooms or stop blooming altogether. If this happens in your yard, you can try to reinvigorate your plant or replace it with one of several different species of lilac.

New life for lilacs that have lost vigor T

he common lilac, Syringa vulgaris, may be one of the most recognizable harbingers of spring in northeast Kansas. The shrub’s soft purple panicles emit a fragrance often emulated but rarely equaled, and they are often planted solely for the enjoyment of their spring blossoms.

Despite being long-lived, lilacs can lose vigor over time and will eventually produce fewer blooms or stop blooming altogether. There are two possible solutions to get blooms again in the years ahead: revive the shrub with a little tender loving care or consider planting other species of lilacs.

To rejuvenate, lilacs need a little pruning. The best time to perform the pruning is just after the blooms fade. (Lilacs can be pruned every year to encourage new, healthy growth.)

Begin by removing the largest stems at ground level.

While this may seem counterintuitive, stems lose vigor over time. They are also likely infested with ash/lilac borer, an insect pest that typically

Garden Calendar

does not kill the shrub but may cause wilting or kill individual stems. Also remove any dead stems or branches or stems that appear to be unhealthy.

If the lilac is a different color than the traditional light purple, or you know it is a newer variety, it may be grafted. If so, you will want to make the previously advised cuts above the graft union.

Cutting below the graft union may trigger shoots to sprout from the rootstock. Shoots from the rootstock will likely produce less-desirable flowers than the grafted top of the plant.

You could also wait until

this winter and prune the entire plant to near ground level, but you will lose blooms for a few years during the plants’ recovery.

After thinning the largest stems, work to remove the spent flower blossoms from the plant if it had any. Lilacs can handle severe pruning, so this is the time to reduce the height or size of the shrub if necessary. Leave at least a little foliage on each stem so the plant can continue to photosynthesize.

This is a good time to also note that if you are reducing the plant’s size because it is too large for the space in which it is planted, it might be time to move or replace it. You could prune it down every year, but why make the effort when there are smaller plants available?

Make cuts next to a bud or another branch, and preferably at a 45-degree angle in the same direction as the bud or branch to which you are cutting.

Shade could also be the culprit for a poorly-blooming lilac. If this is the case in your yard, cut the shrub back and

move it to a place where it receives six to eight hours of direct sunlight per day.

If you want to replace your nostalgic lilac for one of its cousins, there are many to choose from. These can also be additions to the landscape rather than replacements.

Lilac options Cultivars of Syringa vulgaris are common lilacs that have been selected and reproduced because of their unique flower color and/or size. More than 400 selections are available in a range of shades of pink and purple and white. Look for resistance to powdery mildew and purchase while in bloom so you know what you are getting for flower color and scent.

Meyer lilac, Syringa meyeri, is most typically available as a cultivated variety named “Palibin.” The species is similar in size to common lilac while “Palibin” grows to only 4 to 5 feet tall. Meyer lilacs bloom are resistant to powdery mildew and are considered the easiest lilac to grow, but they are less fragrant the common lilac.

Miss Kim Manchurian lilac, Syringa patula “Miss Kim,” is one of my favorites because it blooms a little later than common lilacs and has a distinct blue tint to its blossoms. Miss Kim lilacs are typically listed as reaching 3 feet tall by 3 feet wide, but I have seen a few reach 5 feet or more in good growing conditions.

Syringa reticulata — Japanese tree lilac — is another lilac cousin growing in popularity. This is a tree form as the name implies and some common cultivars are “Ivory Silk” and “Chantilly Lace.”

They reach 20 to 25 feet tall and bloom in early to midJune. The fragrance of this plant is much different from that of the common lilac and people typically either love or hate it.

Littleleaf, Pekin, Cutleaf, and Persian lilacs are also suitable species for our region.

Kovel’s Antiques: Cast-iron ornaments enhance gardens

By Terry Kovel

If you don’t already have rabbits hopping around your garden, you might want to buy an antique garden rabbit to fool your friends.

The wealthy English and French of the 17th century liked formal gardens with paths, fences and planned flower beds.

They put urns, statues, fountains, sundials, gates, furniture and odd pieces like finials and wall sculptures into their gardens.

In America, ornaments and furniture were being used in gardens by the 1600s. A brass sundial from 1630 is the earliest American garden piece that still exists.

A wooden bench from the 1700s is the earliest known wooden piece. Gardens first had wrought-iron furniture and gates in the 18th and early 19th centuries. By the mid 19th century, most garden pieces were made of cast iron, not

THIS LIFE-SIZE CAST-IRON RABBIT sits on a grassgreen base. It was made in Germany in about 1920 and sold at RSL Auction Co. for $55. You can keep it in your garden, but bring it inside to use as an Easter dinner centerpiece. wrought iron, because cast iron was stronger.

Gardens were filled with iron ornaments and fences.

Full-size deer, dogs and other animals, tiered fountains, iron benches made to look like twining vines or tree branches, obelisks and sundials were all made of cast iron. So were armillary spheres that help map the “movement” of the stars

around the earth.

In the 1930s, there was even more interest in castiron objects. Inside houses you could find cast-iron doorstops, bookends, planters, hardware and toys.

And in today’s gardens, lifesize rabbits, squirrels, frogs and even alligators and tall birds are among the many iron guests.

Many of these figures were made years ago and have survived with just a little loss of paint. A vintage rabbit or squirrel can cost from $50 to $200 today. A full-size deer or dog sells for $500 to $2,000, and a three-tier iron fountain with a bird pedestal and leafy edges costs $3,000.

Look in backyards when you go to a house sale.

You might find a garden figure no one noticed.

I have four cafe-style chairs, each marked with a paper label that says “Jacob Josef Kohn & Mundus.” The chairbacks have a bentwood

frame with three horizontal splats. Can you tell me age and value?

Your chairs were made after 1914, the year Mundus, a German chair-manufacturing conglomerate, merged with Jacob & Josef Kohn, a competitor based in Vienna. And they probably were made before 1923. Thonet, the company whose founder invented the bentwood chair in the 1830s, merged with Mundus in 1923. Many different styles of bentwood chairbacks have been made. If yours are in excellent condition, each one would sell for about $100.

Factory of Hof-Moschendorf, Bavaria, Germany.

But I can’t find another platter like it online, and I’m hoping it’s rare and worth a lot. Is it?

No. Your platter is in a traditional Victorian-style popular at the turn of the 20th century. Assuming it was made by the factory you identified, the dish is not by a famous manufacturer and it’s probably not part of a set that can be matched with other dishes. It would sell today for $25 to $50. But do take another look at the mark.

Other German companies used marks that ended in “PM.” One of those I own a square porce- was the Royal Porcelain lain platter with flowers Manufacturing Co., which painted around the bor- marked its wares “KPM.” der and a central scene of two young girls playI have a small collecing in a grassy field.

signed “P. d’Avesn.” I have learned that Pierre d’Avesn once worked at Lalique, but I also found his name connected with Daum art glass. So I’m confused. Can you help?

Pierre d’Avesn designed for Lalique in the early 1920s, then later that decade became a designer and manager at Daum. He managed Daum’s factory at Croismare, near Luneville, France, from 1927 until 1932. The factory specialized in making decorative but affordable glass pieces that were marked in various ways. One of the marks is the “P. d’Avesn” signature on your figurine.

Pieces made at the Croismare factory do not sell for as much as other prewar Daum designs. Your Madonna and Child figurine, if perfect, could be worth $100 to $150.

Tip: Silver salt shakers should be emptied after every use or lined with gold plating to avoid corrosion.

It’s like the buddy system… for parents.

Mentally ill adults can be difficult to help Dear Annie: Thirty years ago, our son was diagnosed with schizophrenia. He has been hospitalized more than once, although he believes it was only to “punish” him.

In the past few years, he has refused all psychiatric intervention. ‘‘Robert” has lived independently for 18 years.

He displays delusional and paranoid behavior.

We do not know whether he still takes the antipsychotic medicine that was prescribed 20 years ago.

We are grateful that he doesn’t drink or do drugs, but he is a chain smoker and eats voraciously. His weight is more than 300 pounds, and he is diabetic and takes blood pressure pills. He has anger issues and an irrational fear of being injected with anything.

Mental health professionals have given up on him. Robert doesn’t seem to fit in anywhere. Living alone only worsens his

‘Client List’ strange, sad and sleazy Jennifer Love Hewitt stars in the new drama “The Client List” (9 p.m. Sunday, Lifetime), spun off from a Lifetime movie with the same name. Shows this strange, sad and sleazy don’t come along that often. Hewitt (“The Ghost Whisperer”) plays Riley Parks, a chipper housewife from Beaumont, Texas, whose husband has peculiar eyebrows and dumps her for unexplained reasons during a musical montage.

Faced with mounting bills, she takes a job at a massage parlor in Sugarland, more than a hundred miles from her home. She thinks it’s completely legitimate, but Riley quickly discovers that the really big tips come from providing something “extra.” Shocked by the prospect of prostituting herself, she demands that the boss (Loretta Devine) assign her only legitimate clients. These include a sour-looking woman, a guy with a runny nose and a man (gasp!) with too much back hair.

Faced with this hirsute prospect, Riley decides to become a provider of extras. And besides, the guys who want their masseuses to behave like hookers are all so much better looking! A parade of sixpack abs walks in. You’d think the guy with the back hair would have to pay for the attention. But you’d be thinking too hard.

Compared to Riley, Lucrezia Borgia seems so wholesome — at least the Lucrezia (Holliday Grainger) on “The Borgias” (9 p.m. Sunday, Showtime), the opulent epic now in its second season.

Pope Alexander VI (Jeremy Irons) has so much trouble preaching family values, particularly with his sons Cesare (Francois Arnaud) and Juan (David Oakes) at each other’s throats and Lucrezia pining for the unlettered stable boy who fathered her son while she was married off to a brutish political rival. This season brings us pestilence, murder, war, betrayal, incestuous longings and a whiff of charity from unlikely places. A historical soap opera that frequently looks like an Old Master painting come to life, “The Borgias” is not to be missed.

Tonight’s highlights

Scheduled on “60 Minutes” (6 p.m., CBS): Europe’s financial crisis, an orchestra in Kinshasa, Argentina’s “Nacho” Figueras.

“Kenya pick up the pace?” is the theme of “Amazing Race” (7 p.m., CBS).

Tyrion has harsh words for Cersei on “Game of Thrones” (8 p.m., HBO).

Dear Annie: My husband often must go out of state on business for months at a time. In order for us to be together, he buys me a ticket to join him whenever he accumulates enough frequent flyer miles. Right now, he’s in California. He recently missed my birthday, saying he didn’t have enough mileage to fly me there.

However, I discovered that wasn’t true. He had enough miles, but his mother and sister demanded that he use them for them because they’ve always wanted to go to California. So he’s saving his miles in order to have enough for their two tickets.

I am furious. I have no intention of sitting home alone while they enjoy the time with my husband that should be mine.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Sunday, April 8: This year you enjoy relating closely to an individual at work or in your personal life. When events do not permit this closeness, you will find situations and people to be superficial. If you are single, you alternate between close encounters and alienation. If you are attached, the two of you enjoy mini-vacations together.

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) Realign your thinking, and agreement between you and another person becomes possible.

Do not underestimate your competitiveness. Tonight: Out for dinner.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You are strong-willed, like a Bull. Others might figuratively put their hands on their hips as they try to get away from this mindset.

Tonight: Go along for the ride.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) You see a power play, the manipulation and the end results. At the present point, say little, but feel free to derail the games that others seem to be playing. Tonight: Think “now,” not “tomorrow.”

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You cannot explain your fondness for life. You seem almost childlike, as you look at a flower, a loved one or whatever is in front of you. Tonight: Teach a loved one about this same newness.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Stay settled, and do not get into the fray. Be direct with a friend you see every day. Tonight: Home will be your palace.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might not want to

44 The maple leaf, to

admit that how you phrase a wish could determine whether it will be granted. Others might be into their control games. Tonight: Go to a favorite spot.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Be aware of the costs of heading in a certain direction. You could find a family member vested in doing his or her thing. Tonight: Indulge a little.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You work well with someone’s challenges. You are not threatened by this person. Tonight: Your personality reveals many options.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Take time just for you, especially if you haven’t recently. A close friend wants you to join him or her. Tonight: Visit on the phone or over dinner with a special person.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) If you opt to go to a ballgame, you can run, cheer and boo. Either way, you’ll let go of a lot of tension. Tonight: Fun follows you.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) While others gleefully get into their Sunday, you’ll go off to handle a responsibility. The real question is: Can you infuse some lightness and humor into this situation? Tonight: Think about taking tomorrow off.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Keep reaching out for more information or a different perspective. You might have a very unique style of opening up to a new vision. Tonight: Accept an invitation to a different type of place.

questing two tickets, they are using up two future chances for me to spend time with my husband?

And how do I make my husband understand how hurt I am that he would even consider doing this?

— The Wife Dear Wife: The real issue here is that your husband didn’t consult you first, and then lied. We think he avoids confrontation, not only with you, but also with his family members. A possible compromise: Suggest that his sister pay for her own ticket, allowing Mom to have the freebie. If you approach it in a conciliatory way, your husband will not only appreciate your generosity, but he also will be more inclined to discuss these things with you in ACROSS the future.

U.S. warns Syria it can’t deceive world over pullout

By Karin Laub Associated Press

BEIRUT — The U.S. warned Syria it won’t be able to deceive the world about compliance with a cease-fire that is just days away, as regime forces pounded more opposition strongholds Saturday in an apparent rush to crush resistance before troops must withdraw. Activists said more than 100 people were killed, including at least 87 civilians.

Almost half died in a Syrian army raid on the central village of al-Latamneh, activists said. Amateur video from the village showed the body of a baby with bloodied clothes and an apparent bullet wound in the chest.

On another video, a barrage of shells is heard hitting a neighborhood of Homs as the restive city’s skyline is engulfed in white smoke.

Syrian President Bashar Assad last week accepted a cease-fire agreement brokered by international envoy Kofi Annan calling for government forces to withdraw from towns and villages by Tuesday, and for the regime and rebels to lay down their arms by 6 a.m. Thursday.

The truce is meant to pave the way for negotiations between the government and the opposition over Syria’s political future.

However, Western leaders are skeptical about Assad’s intentions because of broken promises of the past and the recent escalation in attacks on opposition strongholds, including

arrest sweeps and shelling of civilian areas. The U.S. ambassador to Syria posted online satellite images late Friday that he said cast doubt on the regime’s readiness to pull out.

“This is not the reduction in offensive Syrian government security operations that all agree must be the first step for the Annan initiative to succeed,” Assad Ambassador Robert Ford wrote on the embassy’s Facebook page.

Ford posted photos he said show the government has pulled back some forces but kept others in place or simply shifted around troops and armored vehicles. Earlier this week, the government claimed it had withdrawn from several areas.

“The regime and the Syrian people should know that we are watching,” Ford wrote, citing satellite surveillance.

The ambassador, who left Syria in February amid security concerns, said the Syrian government must give U.N. monitors access to confirm its compliance with the cease-fire. A U.N. advance team arrived in Damascus earlier this week; Annan’s spokesman has said the U.N.-Arab league envoy hopes to put together a team of 200 to 250 observers.

Syria says the details of the mission have not been worked out.

HAZARDOUS MATERIALS WORKERS SPRAY DOWN the remains of an F/A-18D Hornet jet that crashed Friday at Mayfair Mews apartments in Virginia Beach, Va., on Saturday. The crashed wiped out about 40 units, yet all residents are accounted for. The student pilot, his instructor and five on the ground were injured but were out of the hospital by Saturday.

VIRGINIA BEACH, VA. — A 12-ton Navy jet loaded with tons of diesel fuel crashes in a spectacular fireball into a big apartment complex, scattering plane parts and wiping out some 40 units. How is it that everyone survived?

The mayor of Virginia Beach could only call it a “Good Friday miracle” and pilots marveled at how a failed training flight that engulfed buildings in flames managed to crash without killing anyone. The student pilot, his instructor and five on the ground were hurt, but all were out of the hospital by Saturday.

Investigators, witnesses and experts said multiple factors were at play: ! Most of the F/A-18D jet’s fuel was dumped before the crash, causing less of an explosion. ! The Navy credited neighbors and citizens with pulling pilots away from the flames after they safely ejected. ! The plane crashed into the apartment complex’s empty courtyard, and two days before Easter in the middle of the day, most residents weren’t home.

was “quite surprised, to be honest,” no one had died, calling it an “amazing miracle.”

The F/A-18D Hornet suffered some sort of massive mechanical problem while soaring above Virginia Beach on Friday, sending it plunging into the Mayfair Mews apartment complex and taking out dozens of units. All residents had been accounted for early Saturday after careful apartment checks, fire department Capt. Tim Riley said.

Investigators will work from the outside of the site toward the center to gather parts from the jet and examine them, as well as check out the flight data recorders, which had not yet been recovered, Harvey said. The investigation could take weeks, he said.

BRIEFLY NBC producer fired over edited 911 call NEW YORK — NBC News has fired a producer for editing a recording of George Zimmerman’s call to police the night he shot Trayvon Martin, a person with direct knowledge of the matter said Saturday.

The person was not authorized to talk about the situation publicly and spoke on the condition of anonymity. The identity of the producer was not disclosed.

An NBC spokeswoman declined to comment.

The producer’s dismissal followed an internal investigation that led to NBC apologizing for having aired the misleading audio.

NBC’s “Today” show first aired the edited version of Zimmerman’s call on March 27. The recording viewers heard was trimmed to suggest that Zimmerman volunteered to police, with no prompting, that Martin was black: “This guy looks like he’s up to no good. He looks black.”

But the portion of the tape that was deleted had the 911 dispatcher asking Zimmerman if the person who had raised his suspicion was “black, white or Hispanic,” to which Zimmerman responded, “He looks black.”

Teen breaks up with teacher after arrest MODESTO, CALIF. — A Northern California teen who made national news when she and her high school teacher moved in together says she has broken off the relationship following allegations that he sexually abused another student.

Jordan Powers, 18, told ABC News that when her now former boyfriend, Christopher Hooker, called her from jail she told him, “We’re done.”

Hooker, 41, was arrested Friday on suspicion of sexually abusing a different student more than a decade ago.

After being booked on one count of oral copulation with a minor, he made a brief court appearance during which a judge entered a not guilty plea on his behalf.

Powers and Hooker moved in together in February, with Powers dropping out of James Enochs High School in Modesto and Hooker quitting his teaching job there and leaving his wife and three children.

The two appeared on a number of national talk shows and in interviews and maintained they didn’t have a sexual relationship until she turned 18. But police are still investigating whether there was inappropriate contact before that.
