Group wants assisted death legalized

By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

Physician-assisted death is legal in only three states: Oregon, Washington and Montana. A Lawrence group would like Kansas added to the list.

“I think people should have the option to decide when they are going to die,” said Helen Gilles, 89, a retired Lawrence pediatrician.

“When you Gilles have lived as long as I have, you realize there are people who want to die, and I think they should be allowed to.”

In March, The Kaw Valley Older Women’s League hosted a program, “Life and Death Decision — Who Decides?” The program focused on the three main choices that people have when it comes to end-of-life care. They are: ! Preserving life at all cost. ! Maintaining quality of life but letting the dying process take its course, so you don’t opt to slow down or speed up the process. ! To pursue end of life with a physician’s assistance when death is inevitable.

After the program, members discussed how they thought the third option should be available for Kansans and then voted unanimously to initiate a community discussion about the issue.

EACH SPRING, THE COURTSHIP RITUALS OF THE GREATER PRAIRIE CHICKEN are on display at the Konza Prairie, just south of Manhattan. As part of the ritual, the males make low booming sounds, stomp their feet, wiggle their tails and fly directly at their male competitor.

Early risers observe rare sight of birds’ annual mating ritual

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

In the predawn darkness over the Konza Prairie, a faint, low booming sound gave hope that the male greater prairie chickens had arrived and were ready to mate.

On an early April morning and under a nearly full moon, a group of seven people had made their way to a blind that sat in the middle of the 8,600acre prairie preserve several miles south of Manhattan in

the heart of the Flint Hills.

It wasn’t quite 6 a.m. as the group shuffled into the baseballdugoutlike structure, which had wooden benches to sit on and rectangular slats to pull down to peer out onto the dark, empty prairie.

The blind provided a view to one of the few places in Kansas the public can watch the annual spring mating ritual of the greater prairie chicken.

Each year, the Konza Environmental Educational

“It’s very hard to find them. They are very secretive,” said Jill Haukos, an environmental educator at the Konza Prairie Biological Station, about the booming grounds. “There’s not a lot Please see CHICKENS, page 2A

County towing regulations ‘need to be fixed’ Eudora resident billed over $1,100 for 6-mile tow after wreck

By Shaun Hittle sdhittle@ljworld.com

Eudora resident Jen Middleton’s towing story is one Douglas County officials have heard before.

Middleton’s son, Devin, 16, rear-ended a car with the family’s minivan while on his way to Eudora High School a couple of weeks back.

The van was smashed up, but no one was hurt.

Police on scene asked Middleton if she had a “preference” for which towing company hauled the van

Storm early

away. Middleton said no, and Douglas County dispatchers selected the next local towing company on the county’s “non-preference” towing list, which includes 10 local companies.

Middleton went to the tow lot to retrieve the van, and, to her surprise, the bill was $1,110 for the six-mile tow.

The receipt included a $125 mileage charge, a $275 towing charge, a $35 gate charge, a $185 labor charge, a $185 cleanup charge, a $200 winch charge and a $105 storage charge.

“It was an awfully simple

accident tow,” said Eudora Police Chief Grady Walker, who responded to the accident. “It seems to be a little high.”

Middleton’s case underscores the lack of pricing regulations for towing companies on the county’s rotating call list for “non-preference” tows, when someone indicates they have no preference about which company to call following an accident.

Special to the Journal-World In July, the Journal-World EUDORA RESIDENT JEN MIDDLETON’S SON, highlighted the story of a Devin, was in an accident in the family’s Lawrence man, also involved Ford Windstar in March.

Death CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

The group also is circulating a petition that requests Kansas lawmakers introduce legislation that would make physicianassisted death legal with specific restrictions similar to Oregon, which enacted the Death With Dignity Act in late 1997. For instance, Oregon requires a physician to prescribe medication but it must be self-administered. The prognosis must be for a lifespan of six months or less. A written request for prescription and two oral requests from the patient are also needed to escape criminal liability, plus written confirmation by the doctor that the act is voluntary and informed.

According to a report by the Oregon Public Health Division, between 1998 and 2011, 935 people had prescriptions written under the Death With Dignity Act and 596 patients died from ingesting them. The average patient age was 71 and 80 percent of the patients suffered from malignant cancer.

“Our ultimate goal is hoping that the Legislature and people will respond to this positively and at least make them think that this might be an option. They don’t have to take it if they don’t want to,” Gilles said. #"#"#

The Kaw Valley Older Women’s League, which has about 75 members, is part of the national organization, and its mission is to address issues that have a significant impact on midlife and older women.

Its membership includes people of all ages, but mostly the elderly, and men.

“If you are not in midlife or an older women, you probably know someone who is. The issues affect everyone,” said Gayle Sig- Sigurdson urdson, 51, and a member.

Sigurdson serves on a newly formed OWL committee that is working to add physician-assisted death as an option in Kansas. She said they are learning more about the issue by contacting lawyers, doctors, churches and national organizations. They also are looking at the legislation that was passed in the other states.

“We really respect how complex this issue is, and we don’t think anything should happen quickly or without great thought,” she said.

The group is calling the legislation Death with Dignity, just like it is in Oregon, and they prefer to call it physician-assisted death instead of physician-assisted suicide.

Members say suicide is an expression of despair and futility while death with dignity is a form of affirmation and empowerment.

“We want to emphasize that it is physician-assisted and it’s compassionate end-of-life, and we think that’s a much more

important and accurate term than assisted suicide,” said Forrest Swall, 80, an OWL Swall member.

Swall said if he were to become terminally ill, he would like to have the option to have a physicianassisted death, especially after watching his brother, Jack, suffer.

“He had palliative care.

He had hospice care, but when it came down to the last two, three or four weeks of his life he was in absolute misery,” Swall said. “There was no hope that there was going to be any recovery. He wanted to die but hospice was not able to provide that final physician-assisted choice for him.”

He died of pancreatic cancer at age 76.

Gilles said it was difficult to watch her mother suffer and remembers her asking: Why is it taking me so long to die?

“That’s a hard question to answer when it’s your own mother,” Gilles said.

Her reply was that she had to be tough to live 96 years, so her body was still tough and just hanging in there.

“Well, she accepted that, but that’s not what she wanted. If she would have had this option, she would have done it,” Gilles said. #"#"#

Dr. Marc Scarbrough, a hospitalist at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, said he would not be able to assist a patient in dying.

“My job as a physician is to save lives,” he said, adding that he wouldn’t want it as an option for himself.

Scarbrough said there are a number of medications that can help alleviate pain and make patients more comfortable during the dying process.

“In my personal opinion, it’s a slippery slope, and there’s the potential for conflict of interest,” he said.

The Rev. John Schmeidler, of St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church, said the Catholic church does not support physician-assisted death.

“That’s not permissible by the church at all because we say the only one who has the right to take life itself is God himself,” he said. “What you can do is give patients the comfort that they need.”

Schmeidler said that unfortunately in our culture, people tend to shy away from death. But he encourages family and friends to be with their loved ones when they are terminally ill.

“There’s something sacred and holy about entering into the death with them to know that this is their entrance into eternal life,” he said. “It could actually bring healing to people’s lives if they would enter into it in the correct way dealing with prayer and such and with great hope and great expectation of the resurrection of life that’s going to happen.”

Critics question nursing oversight choice KANSAS CITY, MO. — Advocates for the elderly are taking exception with Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback’s choice to be the state’s long-term care ombudsman, raising concerns that consumers’ best interests will be ignored.

The Kansas City Star reports that advocates are taking issue with Brownback’s selection of Barbara Hickert as long-term care ombuds-

man, the third person coming from the nursing home industry to hold the post. Her appointment follows similar selections by Democratic governors Kathleen Sebelius and Mark Parkinson.

Advocates for the elderly say having someone who has a background working in the nursing home industry runs the risk that consumer interests will be shortchanged.

of public land where prairie chickens are going to be active.”

So as not to scare the birds, the onlookers had to be in the blind before daylight, which means meeting a tour guide at 5:30 a.m.

On the brisk spring day, the group that gathered had mainly driven from Topeka. As they sat in the blind and waited for the sunrise, their volunteer guide Jerry Freeze filled the quiet morning air with talk of prairie chickens.

At one time, the range of greater prairie chickens stretched from Canada to Texas. Today, the greatest populations are found in Kansas and Nebraska.

The greater prairie chicken was close to extinction in the 1930s. Since then, conservation efforts have worked to bring them back with populations nearing a half-million, Freeze said. Now there are enough birds in Kansas for a greater prairie chicken hunting season.

Prairie chickens are easily disturbed by human actions. So you won’t find their leks near roads, houses or, as one new study found, wind turbines. Instead, they prefer remote and quiet tallgrass prairie, which can be a rare find.

The leks are often located on elevated areas with short grasses, hilltops and ridges are common. Year after year beginning in late March and continuing into late April, the male birds will return to the same mating grounds.

“What attracts them?

No one knows for sure,” Freeze said.

‘It’s so unique’ The lek being observed that day was part of the Konza Prairie, which is owned and preserved by the Nature Conservancy and Kansas State University. It’s used for longterm ecological research, education and prairie conservation.

Three of the men in the tour group were former co-workers and avid birdwatchers. They had come the year before to watch the boom and had just returned from a trip to Nebraska to watch Sandhill Cranes.

faced a $675 charge from a local towing company called from the county’s list.

Truth is, local towing companies can charge whatever they want, and county officials say it’s not clear what they can do to stop them.

“There are people under the current system who’ve taken advantage,” said Douglas County Administrator Craig Weinaug, whose office was contacted this week by Middleton. Weinaug said the county receives several such complaints per month. “It’s something that needs to be fixed.”

But it’s a complicated issue, said Weinaug, citing a 1995 federal Motor Carrier Act that prohibits governments from putting limits on towing charges.

The city of Wichita, however, has found a creative solution after years of similar complaints, said Tom Stolz, deputy chief of investigations for the Wichita Police Department.

The answer? The free market.

Starting this year, Wichita police have required towing companies, as part of a city contract, to supply police with a cost sheet listing what the company charges for nonpreference accident tows.

When someone’s in an accident, police hand them a list, and the per-

GREATER PRAIRIE CHICKENS are seen on the Konza Prairie, south of Manhattan.

“How many times do you get a chance to see these birds? Not many people get to see them,” Jim Fregon said when asked why he returned for a second year. “The population is getting smaller and smaller.”

Fregon said that, similar to the call of the cranes, there’s no other sound quite like the low booming of a prairie chicken.

“It’s so unique,” he said.

Just as Fregon was finishing his thought, the “mmmmm booooom” of the male prairie chicken could be heard. It was like the low humming sound of a gnat caught in the ear.

All chatter stopped, and the booming sound grew louder. As the sun rose, several male birds were spotted 50 or so yards in front of the blind.

It was the males that the group had come to watch.

Their bright orange heads seemed to explode as they filled sacs on the sides of their necks with air.

Feathers stood tall in the back of the head and tail, as they began to bob their heads and stomp their feet. The booming sound rolled over the prairie.

Every so often, two males would square off, and in a sudden burst one of the birds would jump in the air, flapping its wings wildly as it charged its foe.

Other times, one of the birds would resort to just chasing the other males off the lek.

All through this macho song and dance routine, the rather plain-looking hens stood back and watched.

“It’s very intricate, detailed behavior,” Haukos said. “And every move means something. It’s not just random.”

The males are vying for space. Males defend an area about 15 feet in diameter on the lek. The farther the competing male gets pushed off the

lek, the more territory the dominant male gets, Haukos.

The hens will make several trips to different leks before choosing a mate. The one or two males that do the best job of defending their territory will do the majority of the mating.

‘It’s called foreplay’ When seen for the first few times, the booming brings about a chuckle, largely because the birds’ actions seem so familiar.

The puffing of the throat, stomping of feet and quick burst of flapping wings are filled with the same tense drama as some of cinema’s most famous male showdowns.

The prairie chicken’s sparring never turned violent that morning. It was mostly just posturing.

“Once you understand the animal behavior, you see it in humans all the time — in the clothes you wear to the size of vehicle you drive,” Haukos said.

As the chickens boomed, the tour group peered out of the blind holding cameras and binoculars to their eyes. They watched for more than an hour. More than a dozen prairie chickens had been spotted, most of them male.

“I’m always amazed that they go through all this and the actual mating itself takes seconds,” one of the men in the blind commented.

“It’s called foreplay,” his buddy quipped.

Freeze said he’d never seen so many prairie chickens before. On some days, Freeze worries if any prairie chickens will show up at all. So far, he’s never been disappointed.

“They come out and do this every day. What else do they have to do?” he said.

son chooses. The police aren’t regulating or capping the prices, just educating consumers, Stolz said.

“You let free enterprise go to work,” Stolz said.

“Give consumers power.

The free market will always win.”

Weinaug said the county will be looking at Wichita’s ordinance, as well as others, in attempt to cut down on overcharging, and he hopes to have the issue on the County Commission’s April 24 discussion agenda.

“I’m certain there’s a local solution,” Weinaug said.

Cleanup to mark 1 year since accident

Democratic caucuses this year no repeat of 2008 Meetings still provide opportunity to talk about issues

By Chansi Long clong@ljworld.com

Mike Yoder/Journal-World Photo

AT A DEMOCRATIC PARTY CAUCUS SATURDAY at Liberty Memorial Central Middle School, Claudean McKellips, area middle school teacher, voices concerns on education funding and why she’d like to be a delegate to attend the Congressional District Convention next month.

Long lines, parking issues and overflow sites were components of the 2008 Democratic caucuses, but that wasn’t the case this year. Fewer than a hundred people showed up to the Democratic caucuses for Senate and Congressional Districts 2 and 3, held Saturday at Liberty Memorial Central Middle School.

“The difficulty that you have any time there is a sitting president and there’s no op-

position to him whatsoever is … draw(ing) up enthusiasm,” said Tony Brown, a delegate for Congressional District 2 and Senate District 3. “The last caucus we had … 1,200 people showed up. People were standing out in the rain to get into the caucus. That was an amazing night. We weren’t going to be able to replicate that, obviously.”

At Saturday’s caucuses, Kansas Democrats selected delegates who had pledged to vote for President Barack Obama at the Democratic

District Convention. Because of the scant turnout, many people present automatically became delegates. In some cases, there weren’t enough participants to provide alternates, in case delegates are unable to attend the District Convention on May 5.

No one challenged Obama.

“Clearly there was only one candidate, so you get to hang out and get to know your neighbors,” said Lawrence caucus chairwoman Tess Please see CAUCUSES, page 4A

Group adopts stretch of K-10 in boy’s memory

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

Monday marks the oneyear anniversary of the crossover crash on Kansas Highway 10 near Eudora that killed 5-year-old Cainan Shutt.

“The accident wasn’t his defining moment.

We just want him to be remembered for all the things that he’s done and continuing to do, and take the focus away from what actually happened that day,” Cainan’s mother, Alison Shutt, of Eudora, said.

She said her son’s legacy has led family members, friends and local officials to advocate and work together with the state to increase safety on K-10 between Lawrence and suburban Kansas City.

Family members and friends have adopted a two-mile stretch of K-10 that includes the section “We just want of the 2011 crash near him to be remembered for the Church Street exit. all the things that he’s done Last November the and continuKansas Deing to do, and partment take the focus of Transaway from portation what actually agreed as happened that part of a piday.” lot project to install cable median barriers along the stretch of the fourlane, divided highway.

At 3 p.m. Monday, weather permitting, Cainan’s friends and family members will gather to clean up along the highway near Eudora.

“It’s just going to be our way to give back,” Shutt said.

Colleen Walker, a family friend, said group members plan to clean along that part of the highway three times a year. The Adopt-A-Highway signs eventually installed there will also mention group members are doing it in memory of Cainan.

Anyone is welcome to help with Monday’s cleanup. The group plans to gather at 3 p.m. in Eudora. To give KDOT an accurate count on the number of orange vests to provide, Walker said anyone who wants to attend should send her an email at cwalkerinspire@ sunflower.com. The group also plans to have a potluck dinner after at the Eudora Community Center, 1638 Elm St. Ryan Pittman, 24, who grew up in Eudora, also died that day when his vehicle crossed the median and struck head-on the minivan the children’s stepgrandfather, Danny Basel, was driving.

“A lot of Democrats nationwide have been sitting back watching the Republican primaries and that battle… now that it looks like that’s coming to a close, I think you’re going to see a whole lot more concerted effort on the Democratic side. … Now we start gearing up for President Obama’s run.”

hoped the visual presentation would remind people of the strong link between trash and consumer.

Other groups presented less ominous messages, such as “give peace a chance.” John Lennon’s anti-war anthem rolled from the stereo of a white truck leading a trailer bed filled with smiling children.

“The kids make it so happy and colorful,” said Lauretta Hendricks-Backus, of the Lawrence Coalition for Peace and Justice. It’s the group’s sixth year participating in the parade. “It’s really fun to ride in (the parade). It’s a Lawrence classic thing to do here.”

After the parade, several groups and businesses were set up at South Park, offering information, activities and, in some cases, free vegan food. Probably the most popular sight of the day was The Recycle Cycle, a colorful car constructed from recyclables and laden with junk; pots, pans, chimes, bicycle horns, bells, and empty cans of stewed tomatoes and creamed corn protruded from the pedal car.

“This is made out of recyclable goods, trash

“It looks fun, so I let the kids play with it and it becomes fun.”

Renner hauls the Recycle Cycle all over the country, but he especially loves attending Lawrence’s annual Earth Day Celebration. “(The celebration) pulls in a wide diversity of business,” Renner said. “And it’s local, so I can pedal the car straight here.”

FREE STATE HIGH SCHOOL

Autograph collection Volunteers to be auctioned off sought to buy exercise gear for Day

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

Whether you are a fan of supermodel Cindy Crawford, celebrity chef Paula Deen, jazz musician Wynton Marsalis or Royals Hall-of-Famer George Brett, there’s a piece of memorabilia with their autograph on it going up for auction.

For more than five years, Free State High School physical education teacher and volleyball coach Nancy Hopkins has been collecting autographs to raise money to buy exercise equipment for the school.

The auction is from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. April 20 at Royal Crest Lanes, 933 Iowa.

Hundreds of autographs — many on photos, books and sports gear — will be up for sale in live and silent auctions. The event also includes bowling for $10 with proceeds going to the school’s cardio center.

In an effort to curb child obesity, Hopkins has been piecing together a cardio center at Free State High School for the past few years. Her vision is to create a place where students can take exercise classes or work out after school.

So far, she has raised enough money to purchase spin bikes, treadmills, rowing machines and other pieces of equipment. But she would like to see the center expand and has a wish list that includes $70,000 worth of equipment.

“My motivation is just trying to get kids to be active,” Hopkins said of the project. “I’m trying to reach kids who won’t get exercise elsewhere.”

— Free State High School physical education teacher and volleyball coach Nancy Hopkins Through local connections and writing campaigns, Hopkins has gathered autographs from across the world and from all kinds of celebrities.

Thanks to a German exchange student, she has an autograph from German Chancellor Angela Merkel, and a former volleyball player was able to score a signed drumhead from Bruce Springsteen.

Other notable auction items include an autographed George Brett jersey and a photograph of Yoko Ono and John Lennon signed by Ono and an engraved iPod with the message “Imagine Peace, Love Yoko.”

For tennis lovers, one package includes autographed books by Billie Jean King and Boris Becker and autographed photos from Björn Borg, Rod Laver and Margaret Court.

“We’ve received things from all over the world,” Hopkins said.

The auction will also have thousands of other autographed books from all genres. Hopkins hopes people will buy these books and then donate them back to local schools.

The United Way Roger Hill Center is still looking for volunteers for its annual Day of Caring on April 21.

With just more than a week left to register, about 220 volunteers were still needed as of this week.

Each year, the center brings together volunteers from local businesses, churches, civic and student organizations along with other people to help benefit the community.

Projects include working to help spruce up several elementary schools and other nonprofit agencies in the community.

Volunteers can read specific project descriptions and sign up by going to volunteerdouglascounty.org and register directly online. People may also contact the volunteer center at 865-5030 or volunteer@rhvc.org.

“People in Douglas County are committed to service and doing their part to make our community an even better place to live,” said Shannon Reid, Volunteer Coordinator for the United Way Roger Hill Volunteer Center, in a written statement. “So I’m confident that community members will once again come together, even if just for a few hours on a Saturday morning, to accomplish some much needed work at local agencies and schools.”

OPINION

LAWRENCE JOURNAL-WORLD !"LJWorld.com !"Sunday, April 15, 2012

EDITORIALS

Unfit homes A condemnation action that put some local residents out of their rented mobile homes signals the need for a city review of other problem properties.

A

recent crackdown on code violations at a North Lawrence mobile home park has served as an eyeopener on the living conditions some lowincome families in Lawrence endure.

Recently, the city condemned 12 mobile homes in the Riverview Trailer Park, 827 Walnut. The trailers had a variety of health and safety code violations.

Some were emptying raw sewage into their yards, others had makeshift additions that clearly weren’t built to safe standards, and most had the dangerous combination of electrical problems and no smoke detectors.

City leaders were correct to take action, even though it has left several families uncertain of where they will live.

The experience at Riverview, though, should serve as a wake-up call on several levels. First, city leaders need to have a discussion about how to better assist families who are forced to leave their homes when city inspectors declare them unfit for habitation.

The city receives more than $700,000 a year in Community Development Block Grant funding. The federal funding is designed, in part, to help low-income families with housing issues. City leaders should seriously consider setting aside a small portion of the funding to provide emergency housing assistance to individuals who are evicted because of code violations caused by a landlord.

The more important course of action, however, is to work to prevent such evictions. Most of the condemned trailers at Riverview are rental units owned by a California landlord. Landlords have both a legal and moral obligation to provide safe living conditions for their tenants.

Whether it be in older homes in the Oread neighborhood or in mobile homes scattered throughout the city, there are legitimate questions about whether all landlords are living up to their obligations.

Perhaps the city does not have the funding or resources to begin a largescale program to inspect every rental unit in the community. But the city does have the ability to write codes that make it abundantly clear there are serious civil, and perhaps even criminal, penalties for landlords who knowingly allow their tenants to live in unsafe conditions.

There is no better time than the present to send a message that the community takes this issue seriously. City attorneys ought to search the city’s current code to determine what penalties can be assessed against the landlord of the Riverview Trailer Park.

It is a bad situation at Riverview, but it will be worse if the city does not do all it can to let other landlords in Lawrence know that such living conditions are unacceptable in our community.

Airlines still experiencing turbulence DALLAS — From his office window, Thomas W. Horton, in his fifth month as CEO of American Airlines, can see in the distance the Manhattansize footprint of Dallas-Fort Worth airport, where American has 85 percent market share; it also has 68 percent in Miami, gateway to South America’s booming market.

In the foreground, however, he can see one reason why, nevertheless, his company recently entered bankruptcy — the corporate headquarters of Southwest Airlines.

Southwest, the most successful of the “low cost” carriers that proliferated after the 1978 deregulation of the industry, has been profitable for 39 consecutive years, while the rest of the industry was losing $60 billion between deregulation and 2009. Southwest, JetBlue and the others have 30 percent of the domestic market, up from 10 percent in 1999. The “two tier” airline industry is, however, becoming a thing of the past. All carriers are going to have low costs because of what Horton calls “fear-based discipline,” aka competition.

In the last three decades there have been 192 airline bankruptcies. Not coincidentally, fares, adjusted for inflation, are 18 percent lower than in 2000. Forty years ago, a majority of Americans had never taken an airplane trip. Now everyone is more free than ever to move about the country, air travel having been democratized by liberating it from government.

In 1938, the Civil Aero-

Reason magazine’s Nick Gillespie and Matt Welch report that, 34 years later, United’s percentage of market share had gone from 22.9 to 22, Eastern’s from 14.9 to 11.6 and TWA’s from 15.1 to 11.9. Why this bureaucrat’s dream of near stasis? Because between 1950 and 1974, the Civil Aeronautics Board received 79 applications for startup airlines and rejected them all, believing that if even one passenger would be taken from an existing carrier, competition would be excessive.

Intellectuals are often the last to learn things, so John Kenneth Galbraith, Harvard’s celebrity economist and one of liberalism’s pinups in the 1950s and 1960s, argued in his 1958 book “The Affluent Society” that modern marketing — advertising and other supposedly dark arts — is

so powerful that big corporations could manufacture demand for whatever they manufactured. In 1958, Ford put all its marketing muscle behind the Edsel.

Undiscouraged by evidence, in 1967 Galbraith, full of the progressive’s enthusiasm for the administrative state, asserted in “The New Industrial State” that the U.S. economy would soon be dominated by large corporations essentially immune from competition and hence from market turbulence.

Four years later, Southwest launched its first flight. The “legacy carriers” — those that had operated under the CAB regime — were in for heavy weather.

American bought TWA shortly before 9/11, adding capacity just when less capacity was suddenly required. American is the last of the six legacy carriers to enter bankruptcy. The other five are United and Continental, now merged, Delta and Northwest, also merged, and US Airways, which entered bankruptcy twice before merging with America West.

Airlines have resembled those local governments that have given unsustainable contracts to unionized public employees and now are contemplating bankruptcy. (Watch Stockton, Calif., which may soon be the biggest municipal bankruptcy since the Depression.) Bankruptcy has been a management tool for airlines that cannot stand strikes — there has been no strike at a major airline since 2005 — because

they must amortize their aircraft even when not flying.

Bankruptcy has enabled carriers to shred improvident contracts entered into to purchase labor peace.

If American’s pilots had the work rules covering Continental pilots before the merger with United, American could have hundreds fewer pilots, and more earnings: A senior captain flying a wide-body plane makes more than $200,000 a year and has rich pension and medical plans.

Horton has done taxpayers a favor by deciding not to turn American’s non-pilot pensions over to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp., the deeply underfunded federal agency that would pay only a portion of what employees were expecting. American will pay benefits already accrued but henceforth employees will have defined contribution rather than defined benefit plans.

Airline bankruptcies are peculiar: Just last July American bought $38 billion worth of new fuel-efficient aircraft.

It takes money to save money and an airline.

Horton is imperturbably noncommittal about the possibility that the industry’s next consolidation will meld American with perhaps US Airways or Delta: “Our plan is to create the best outcome for our stakeholders.”

Which is a nice way of saying, “Please leave your seatbelts fastened.” Turbulence is normal, and normally good for travelers.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for April 15, 1912: YEARS “New York -- ViceAGO President Franklin IN 1912 [of the White Star line] said at four o’clock that he had definite information that all the passengers had been transferred from the Titanic. Wireless dispatches report that the passenger monster White Star liner, which struck an iceberg off the Newfoundland coast last night, were being transferred aboard the steamer Carpathia, a Cunarder. ... The latest reports indicate that the transference of the passengers is being carried on successfully and safely.”

Titanic reminder of how small we are

There is a single shot, just seconds long, in James Cameron’s newly re-released movie, “Titanic,” that says it all with poignant eloquence.

Up to this point in the narrative, the director has emphasized the great ship’s size and grandeur. She sweeps over the waves like a building that has somehow learned to fly and you cannot help but gape at the mammoth scale of her, the largest moving object on Earth at more than 100 feet tall and four city blocks long.

Then comes her collision with that iceberg she saw too late. Her bow is slipping beneath the water and she is shooting off distress flares.

Cameron stations his camera back, way back, placing the stricken ship amid a vastness of black water and an infinity of inky sky, the futile flare breaking pitifully above her.

She is a tiny outpost of human anguish stranded in the ocean and you marvel that you ever thought her big.

It is 100 years ago today that the great ship went down. And the moral of her story, the great lesson of her death, has lost none of its pertinence or urgency in the 10 decades since 1,500 people died in the frigid waters of the North Atlantic.

It has been a predictable

Leonard Pitts Jr.

“

…progress knows no ultimate goal, history has no finished product, modernity speaks no final word.”

aspect of human nature since at least the Industrial Age that each generation regards itself as progress’ ultimate goal, history’s finished product, modernity’s final word.

If you grew up in the 1960s or ’70s, perhaps you remember embracing that belief like a birthright. Hair was long, music was loud, television was in color, and there were men on the moon. It was a new era of hipness and enlightenment, and the ’50s were just something your parents talked about, something long ago and covered with dust.

What makes the memory amusing, of course, is that the ’60s and ’70s are now

themselves long ago and covered with dust. Time, you see, does not stop its relentless march to watch your generation preen in selfsatisfaction. This is a truth each generation learns in turn. The child who comes of age now will find it hard to imagine a someday world in which iPads, cloud computing and Lady Gaga are just some memory with which she bores her kids.

But it will happen, because progress knows no ultimate goal, history has no finished product, modernity speaks no final word.

Usually, this is wisdom one learns gently, with the passage of years. But sometimes, the lesson is abrupt.

The night of April 14-15, 1912, was one of those times.

Titanic was born into an age of vibrant possibility. The motorcar and the airplane were in their infancy. The motion picture was yet a novelty. The great ship represented another wonder in an era rife with them, a marvel of technology and a model of humanity’s ability to master its own environment. She was the ultimate expression of the age, the ship they said God Himself could not sink.

How bitter those words must have tasted as they

were swallowed, as humility was imposed upon humanity.

And it is easy to look back on the people who said that foolish thing, resplendent in their bowler hats and floorlength skirts, with their parasols and walking sticks and men’s hair slicked down and parted in the middle, going to their doom with blithe faith in their technological wizardry, and to feel a certain superiority. What blind hubris they had.

But to do that is to miss the lesson of what happened a century ago. Their hubris is our hubris, a human conceit as applicable to the Age of Information as it was to the Age of Industry, if not more so.

That shot in Cameron’s movie is a profound reminder of the epic scale of this stage upon which generations strut and preen. Titanic was the newest there was, but she died upon an ocean that was old when Vikings sailed, under a sky that saw the continents rise.

And she was the biggest there was, too — but it turns out she was smaller than we ever knew.

TEXAS A&M BASEBALL 6, KANSAS 4

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Oh, no: This was no no-no When Lawrence High lefthander Garrett Cleavinger recorded the final out of his 11-strikeout shutout in a 3-0 road victory against Olathe South on Thursday, April 5, he thought he had just completed a one-hitter.

As it turns out, Cleavinger was right. He did pitch a one-hitter. For a while, he and many others thought he had pitched a no-hitter.

LHS coach Brad Stoll called in the results of the game to the Journal-World and reported it as a no-hitter. He later said his reason for doing that was because in his opinion the one hit that showed on the scoreboard was an error on the shortstop.

But the home team keeps the official scorebook, and after I interviewed Cleavinger on Thursday to write about his feat and his future, I thought I had better place a call to Olathe South’s baseball coach, Josh Perkins, to see how the official scorebook had recorded the second-inning play in question.

“We called it a hit,” Perkins said. “It was kind of a little line drive hit off the end of the bat. The shortstop ran up on it. It bounced in front of him and ran off to the side. We called it a hit, and that’s where we went with it. I had heard you guys ran a story calling it a no-hitter, but we called it a hit. I was going to just leave it alone.”

Since he was called and interviewed about the play, Perkins had no choice but to answer honestly. That didn’t mean Cleavinger’s effort left the opposing coach with any less an impression of the lefty than if he had tossed a no-no.

“He threw a fantastic, phenomenal game,” Perkins said. “If it’s later in the game, fifth or sixth inning, we might have gone ahead and given it an error. But the defender didn’t make an error. It was a difficult play. It was up there all game as a hit. It’s not like we changed it to a hit.”

Cleavinger’s explanation of the play was similar to that of Perkins’ in that the senior pitcher said it had an unusual late spin to it.

The portion of the Major League Baseball rule book titled 10.05 Base Hits (3) states, in part, “the batter reaches first base safely on a fair ball that takes an unnatural bounce so that a fielder cannot handle it with ordinary effort ...”

Stoll’s version of the play: “They thought it was a hit, but it tipped off our shortstop’s glove. We saw it because it was right in front of our dugout.”

I first suspected there was a problem when I asked Cleavinger when he first started thinking about pitching a no-hitter.

“You know, I never really thought about it,” he said.

“The whole game there was one on the board, so I figured there already was a hit.

So it never really crossed my mind.”

He pitched the rest of the game without the pressure of a no-hitter mounting, and the fielders didn’t have that on their minds either.

KANSAS CITY CENTER FIELDER JARROD DYSON misses a tworun double by Cleveland’s Shin-Soo Choo during the 10th inning. The Royals fell to the Indians, 11-9, in 10 innings Saturday in Kansas City, Mo.

Indians scrap past K.C. in 10 KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — Shin-Soo Choo sat at his locker in the Indians clubhouse, the bruise on the outside of his right knee just larger than a baseball and turning every shade of red and blue imaginable.

“It’s nothing,” he said with a smile.

Driving in the winning runs must have made the pain go away in a hurry.

After getting hit by a pitch early in the game, Choo delivered a two-out double in the 10th inning Saturday night that sent Cleveland to an 11-9 victory over Kansas City — despite blowing a seven-run lead in a testy affair marked by three ejections and a pair of bench-clearings.

“What a crazy kind of emotional game,” said Indians manager Manny Acta, who was among those thrown out during an eventful third inning. “Just glad we came out on top.”

Light-hitting Yuniesky Betancourt helped force extras when he homered in the eighth inning for the Royals, completing their bit-by-bit comeback from a 9-2 hole.

TEXAS A&M’S SCOTT ARTHUR SLIDES PAST THE TAG of Kansas’ Jordan Dreiling as he successfully steals second base. The Aggies clipped KU, 6-4, on Saturday at Hoglund Ballpark.

Stellar defense lifts A&M

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

It took 16 innings and plenty of close calls, but Kansas University’s baseball team finally cracked the scoreboard against Texas A&M on Saturday at Hoglund Ballpark.

Unfortunately for the home team, the three-run seventh inning that featured the Jayhawks’ only extra-base hits of the series proved to be little more than a feel-good moment, as the Aggies nickleand-dimed their way to a 6-4 victory.

“The strength of their program is pitching and defense,” KU coach Ritch Price said of Texas A&M. “They play outstanding defense. That’s as good a two days of defense that I’ve seen here in 10 years.”

And yet the Jayhawks (12-23 overall, 2-9 Big 12) still nearly overcame it.

KU’s big inning came with

the Aggies leading 6-0 and starting pitcher Ross Stripling (6-1) in complete control.

Third baseman Zac Elgie started it with a walk — Stripling’s second of the day — and came around to score on a Jordan Dreiling double. Jake Marasco followed with a single, and he and Dreiling scored when Dakota Smith roped the first pitch he saw to the wall in leftcenter. Smith’s two-RBI double was one of the few balls that fell behind A&M center fielder Krey Bratsen.

“We’ve been swinging the bats well,” said Smith, who finished 1-for-4. “We just figured they have to start falling, and luckily a couple did today.”

Asked how frustrating it becomes to see the Aggies run down well hit balls, Smith was honest.

“After the first one, it gets pretty old,” he said.

No player is that more true for than junior designated hit-

ter Alex DeLeon, who once again hit several pitches right on the button but left the park with nothing to show for it.

“DeLeon could have five home runs this weekend,” Dreiling said. “That’s one of the best outfields I’ve ever seen.”

While the Jayhawks did their damage late, A&M built its lead with two in the third, one in the fourth, one more in the fifth and two in the sixth. It could have been much worse, but KU’s Tucker Tharp threw out an Aggie base-runner at third for the second out of the sixth inning, and freshman pitcher Robert Kahana (four innings pitched, four hits, two runs and three strikeouts) picked off A&M’s Jacob House to end the inning.

That left KU with a chance, and Elgie and Dreiling struck again in the ninth. Elgie roped Please see BASEBALL, page 3B

Buzzer-beater fantastic fantasy finish “

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Michael Ferdman, a 40-something executive from New York, accepted a pass from a teammate with three seconds left on the clock Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse.

The man who recently scored a game-winning goal in overtime in a Mark

Messier/New York Rangers hockey fantasy camp game in Madison Square Garden, calmly swished a three-pointer to lift his Bill Self Fantasy Camp hoops team to a 47-45 come-from-behind victory over a shell-shocked Norm Roberts-coached squad that was burned at the buzzer.

“It’s the most exciting thing. I’m sweating. My heart is pounding. I’m a nervous

wreck. I was like, ‘Gosh,’’’ exclaimed ESPN announcer Holly Rowe, one of the coaches of Ferdman’s team.

The shot improved the Rowe/Ferdman squad to a perfect 3-0 with two games left to play. It was so clutch — so Mario Chalmers-esque — it raised the question: Did it come off a scripted play from the bench?

“It was a set play. I don’t

think we were running it quite right,” Rowe said. “Michael has hit clutch shots.

He hit four free throws to win our last game. He hit the three to win this game.

He has ice in his veins. He’s been terrific.”

UT completes softball sweep

KANSAS’ MARIAH MONTGOMERY COMES UP EMPTY on a big swing during the Jayhawks’ meeting with Texas on Saturday at Arrocha Ballpark. UT won, Please see KEEGAN, page 7B 13-6.

A pile of mistakes proved too colossal a mountain to scale Saturday for Kansas University’s softball team — especially with No. 5 Texas visiting Arrocha Ballpark.

Any chance the Jayhawks had at coming up with one victory in a weekend home series against the Longhorns was shot with costly miscues in a seven-run UT fifth, and

Texas swept KU with a 13-6 victory.

The Horns’ fifth began with a walk — one of a program-record 12 for UT — by Nadia Taylor and a home run — one of four for the visitors — off the bat of Courtney Craig.

With Texas (35-5 overall, 9-3 Big 12) already up 5-1, things worsened from there.

Though Kansas relief pitcher Morgan Druhan, who replaced starter Alicia Pille

after Craig’s two-run blast, struck out Torie Schmidt, the UT left fielder was able to reach first base when KU catcher Lexi Bryant couldn’t hold on to the ball.

Next came an error by Jayhawks shortstop Mariah Montgomery on a possible double-play ball up the middle.

Source: Brown in mix at SMU

By Kate Hairopoulos The Dallas Morning News

DALLAS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Hall of Fame coach Larry Brown is finally in the mix at SMU, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s serious, according to a source.

Brown, 71, said weeks ago that he would be interested in the job and is eager to get back into coaching. His comments came after the Dallas Morning News first reported Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interest in SMU, according to sources.

SMU also is taking a long look at Marquette associate head coach Tony Benford, according to a source. Both Brown and Benford could be in town in coming days. North Texas coach Johnny Jones is no longer an option, as he accepted the LSU job Friday.

Pressure has been building on SMU athletic director Steve Orsini to make a hire. In the month since SMU fired Matt Doherty, the school has taken shots at successful sitting head coaches, including Marquetteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Buzz Williams, Long Beach Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dan Monson and Saint Louisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Rick Majerus, and struck out.

Brown, who won an NBA title with Detroit in 2004, hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t coached since leading the NBAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Charlotte Bobcats in 2010. He hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t coached at the college level since leading Kansas to the NCAA championship in 1988.

He is the only coach to have won both NBA and NCAA titles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just want to be a resource in some way, or coach or be involved â&#x20AC;&#x201D; whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as an assistant, or head coach, or if they

want me to mentor somebody,â&#x20AC;?

Brown told the Dallas Morning Newsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Brad Townsend in late March of his desire to coach again somewhere.

He also said at the time that he was well-aware of SMU. â&#x20AC;&#x153;SMU is a great school, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going into the Big East and Dallas is a great market,â&#x20AC;? Brown said.

Brown forged a 1,275-965 record as an ABA and NBA coach.

He led eight different NBA franchises to the playoffs. Because he has held so many positions, many could speculate that he may not last long at SMU. The school would likely need a solid plan to present the hire as more than a short-lived attempt at a quick fix.

SMU is trying to make a splash hire with a move to the

Big East ahead in 2013. But the program, which hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t made the NCAA Tournament since 1993, has been a hard sell to head coaches who already have good jobs.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in spite of a handful of SMU boosters willing to pay a multi-million dollar salary.

Doherty made around $500,000 and is being paid for the final year of his contract through the next season.

Brown reportedly had turned down an opportunity to coach Stanford in 2008.

Brown, in March, declined to be specific, but did say he had turned down a college opportunity because, at the time, his kids were at an age in which moving them from Philadelphia would be difficult.

The Associated Press

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a new face behind the head-injury lawsuits against the NFL, a former All-Pro defensive tackle from the Detroit Lions some may recognize better as the lovable lug of a father from the 1980s sitcom â&#x20AC;&#x153;Webster.â&#x20AC;?

Before that, Alex Karras played the equally lovable Mongo in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blazing Saddles,â&#x20AC;? uttering one of the movieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best lines when he declared: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mongo only pawn in game of life.â&#x20AC;?

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 76 now, and suffering from dementia. His wife said this week that a man who used to love to drive his cars can no longer get behind the wheel. She said a man who used to be an amazing cook of Italian and Greek food doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cook anymore because he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember what his recipes were.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s among 1,200 former players now suing the NFL, claiming the league misled players about the risks of head injuries and was negligent about their treatment. Many of them are suffering from brain damage, and none of them are getting any better.

For the most part, fans seem to have pretty much discarded them as yesterdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s news. They would rather focus on whether the Cleveland Browns should draft an offensive lineman in the fourth round than whether a former journeyman linebacker or backup safety can tie his shoes or remember what house he lives in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the same thing as back in the gladiator days when the gladiators fought to death,â&#x20AC;? said attorney Craig Mitnick, who represents Karras and hundreds of others in the suit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fans care about these guys when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing and they are heroes.

But as soon as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not a hero and not playing the fan doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really care what happens to them.â&#x20AC;?

Maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time we started caring. Debate the merits of the suit all you want â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the NFL will certainly do so â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no doubt a lot of former players are paying the price for taking hits to the head during a time when the significance of concussions was either minimized or not entirely known.

Some you may not have ever heard of, or have long forgotten about. Others were once your heroes, taking the field every Sunday for a big paycheck and the chance to bring glory to the franchise.

Jim McMahon was one of those guys. The quarterback who helped bring Chicago a Super Bowl championship was a rebel who clashed with the league, and a fan favorite who prided himself on his toughness and ability to take a hit. Now his girlfriend programs the GPS for their house in case he gets lost, and he gets angry and frustrated at all the things he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recall.

CARL PETTERSSON WATCHES HIS DRIVE ON THE FIRST HOLE during the third round of the RBC Heritage. Petterson fired a 66 on Saturday at Hilton Head Island, S.C.

Pettersson leads by one at RBC Heritage HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Carl Pettersson had a run of five straight birdies on the front nine and finished with a birdie on the 18th hole for a 66 and a one-stroke lead over Colt Knost after the third round of the RBC Heritage on Saturday.

Pettersson held a three-stroke lead through 10 holes, yet was tied with Knost after the 15th.

Pettersson moved in front with the roundâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final putt, an 8-foot birdie on Harbour Town Golf Links signature closing hole.

Knostâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roller coaster of a round included an eagle on No. 2 and several missed fairways on the tight holes of Harbour Town Golf Links. Still, he kept close enough with a 69. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be paired with Pettersson again Sunday in the chase for his first PGA Tour win.

Zach Johnson, the 2007 Masters winner, shot a 66 to move to third at 8 under, three behind the leaders. Two-time RBC Heritage champion Boo Weekley had a 70 and was in fourth another shot behind. Defending champ Brandt Snedeker (69), Kevin Na (70) and Robert Garrigus (70) were next at 6 under.

Allen played the front nine in even par, then birdied the par-3 11th and made a 40-foot eagle putt on the par-5 12th. He finished with a birdie on the par-4 18th to reach 9 under at TPC Tampa Bay.

But he never recovered, even scraping hard into the wall trying to catch up after Biffle drove under him in Turn 3 and completed the pass before the start-finish line. Biffle, the season points leader, went on to win the fastest Cup race at the 11â &#x201E;2-mile, high-banked Texas track. His average speed of 160.575 mph put him 3.2 seconds ahead of Johnson.

The next batter, Texas leadoff hitter Taylor Hoagland, belted a three-run shot over the left-field wall to give the Longhorns a 10-1 lead.

Kansas coach Megan Smith said the Jayhawks (26-15, 3-12) lacked defensive sharpness throughout the series.

“You can’t give Texas free outs,” Smith said of the seven-run fifth.

“They’re a good offensive club, and they’re gonna make you pay for it, and they did today.”

Of his penchant for making the big play, he said: “The guys know I like taking it at the end. I don’t mind shooting the ball. Maybe I have a good ‘no memory’ thing. I forget about it if I miss.”

Some of the campers take the games more seriously than others.

All seemed to be having a blast Saturday, fresh off a party at coach Bill Self’s house Friday night with another to be held at a local restaurant Saturday evening.

“This camp is great.

Coach Self is a funny guy.

You’ve got to have tough skin around him. He’ll nail you,” joked Richard Rosenzweig, another executive from New York.

He’s playing on a team coached by KU assistant Joe Dooley that’s off to an 0-3 start. “Coach Self coached against us. I heard a lot of yelling at me

TEXAS A&M’S BLAKE ALLEMAND (1) AND MIKEY REYNOLDS CELEBRATE Allemand’s run at the plate while Kansas catcher James Stanfield looks for the ball. A&M beat KU, 6-4, on Saturday at Hoglund Ballpark. pitchers in America,” Price said. “And the kid we’ll see (today), his numbers are actually better than the other two guys.

So we’ve got our hands full. We just need everybody to continue to get better. That team took us apart (on Friday), and we bounced back (Saturday).

One inning or one game can turn it around for you,

Big 12, you can’t make defensive errors, and we made three too many.”

If there was a silver lining following the loss — KU’s ninth in the last 12 games — Smith said it was how the Jayhawks hit the ball and answered the Horns’ big inning with five runs of their own in the bottom of the fifth.

Hull, a Free State High product out of Lawrence, was 2-for-4 and knocked in two runs with a double in the fifth. Freshman third baseman Chanin Naudin and first baseman Maddie Stein delivered RBI singles in the fifth.

Hoagland homered on the first pitch of the game, with the wind blowing hard out to left field. But in the bottom of the first, Naudin tied the game, 1-1, with a solo shot of her own.

from the sideline when I hit a couple threes against his team. He wasn’t very happy.”

Like Ferdman, Rosenzweig travels to camps all over the country. Pro Camps Worldwide (procamps.com) out of Cincinnati puts on a total of 65 fantasy camps and/or youth camps run by players in the NBA, NFL, college basketball and majorleague baseball.

“Coach K has a camp we go to every year, which is awesome,” Rosenzweig said of Krzyzewski’s Duke camp with a $10,000 price tag. “Jordan ($17,500) had a camp many years in Vegas. Syracuse and coach (Jim) Boeheim has a camp, coach (Jim) Larranaga at Miami. This one is right up there. “We met coach Self in Vegas at the Jordan camp,” he added of he and buddies. “He’s a nice guy ... when they put this together, we figured, ‘Why not come to Kansas?’ We’d not had an excuse to come here before.

“This building is pretty cool. It’s a lot nicer than the Garden. The rims are really soft. I know why you guys win a lot of games here,” he added, smiling.

KU assistant coach Kurtis Townsend held a film session with some of the campers Saturday after one of his team’s games.

“They definitely want to be coached. They want me to tell them how you are supposed to guard ball screens, what they are doing offensively,” Townsend said of the players on the six teams, which consist of eight players per team. No KU players compete on the teams, though some former Jayhawks competed

so hopefully we’ll keep making progress.”

The Aggies (28-7, 9-2) and Jayhawks will play the final game of the series at 1 p.m. today, when A&M’s Rafael Pineada (5-0, 2.01 ERA) faces Thomas Taylor (3-4, 4.13).

KU track solid despite weather J-W Staff Reports

EL PASO, TEXAS — Despite gusty winds and a sand storm, Kansas University’s 4X100-meter relay team set a school record on Saturday at the UTEP Invitational.

Paris Daniels, Francine Simpson, Denesha Morris and Diamond Dixon won in 44.45 seconds, bettering the old record, set in 2008, of 44.61.

Daniels also won the 200 in a wind-aided 23.13 seconds.

Jesse Vaughn won the men’s javelin in a personal-best 225 feet, and Elena Krechyk won the women’s hammer at 202 feet, 10 inches.

KU’s Demi Payne won the women’s pole vault at 13-41⁄4, Simpson won the long jump at a wind-aided 21-71⁄2 and Jessica Maroszek claimed the discus at 168-1.

Next for KU is the Kansas Relays, beginning Wednesday. !

in a camp-opening scrimmage Thursday.

“They told me they’re getting tired — some have hip flexors. They’re always looking for the trainer for ice. They are having fun, a great time. The coaches are having a great time meeting a lot of people,” Townsend added.

Gregg Darbyshire, chief executive of Pro Camps Worldwide, said plans are to return to KU next year.

Part of the proceeds of this camp go to Self’s Assists Foundation.

“It’s been phenomenal,” Darbyshire said. “Coach Self is one-of-a-kind. He is what made it special. He’s been part of everything, social events, the camp itself.”

Added Sean Rowland, director of operations of Pro Camps: “The players are having an awesome time. To live the life of a Kansas basketball player is something money can’t buy.”

Of course, many of the participants have money to burn.

“We have millionaires and decamillionaires here,” one observer said of the participants who for one weekend have provided ESPN’s Rowe what she considers an opportunity of a lifetime.

“I’m here to learn about basketball, help me be better in my job,” Rowe said.

“We had a film session with coach Self. He broke down the second Missouri game. I wrote down stuff I’ll use in my reporting for next year. I felt I’d be shy (coming into the weekend). I’m the only woman.

I didn’t want to be annoying. The guys say they love my scouting reports.

They’re encouraging me to be part of this. I’m invested.”

Red Sox 13, Rays 5 BOSTON — David Ortiz drove in five runs and hit one of Boston’s five homers as the Red Sox pounded Tampa Bay. The game was tied 5-all until Mike Aviles homered off Blake Badenhop (0-1) to start a three-run seventh inning. Aviles moved into the leadoff spot in place of an injured Jacoby Ellsbury.

The Red Sox rallied from a 4-0 deficit in the first inning as Clay Buchholz (1-0) settled down after that rough start.

Ellsbury, last year’s runner-up in the AL MVP voting, went on the 15-day disabled list before the game due to a partially dislocated right shoulder. He was hurt trying to break up a double play Friday.

Guillen: Watching from afar not easy MIAMI (AP) — The Miami Marlins’ first win in their new ballpark lasted 11 innings, took nearly four hours and made Ozzie Guillen’s head hurt.

Interim manager Joey Cora said Saturday he talked after the victory to Guillen, who is serving a five-game suspension and wasn’t at the ballpark.

“He said he had a headache watching the game — 11 innings, and nothing he could do about it,” Cora said. “He sounded better.

It’s tough on him not to be here with the guys, especially with a new team and the excitement that has been around this team all winter and spring. He wants to be here badly.”

Guillen was suspended by the team five games into his tenure as Marlins manager after his praise of Fidel Castro in a magazine interview angered many Cuban Americans in South Florida. He apologized repeatedly during an emotional news conference this week.

The Marlins’ victory Friday over Houston was their first in three games since Guillen was suspended. He’ll return Tuesday for the start of a threegame series against the Chicago Cubs that concludes the team’s homestand.

The reception Guillen receives will provide a gauge of any lingering animosity.

“He’s looking forward to being here Tuesday, and whatever happens, happens,” Cora said. “He hasn’t been in the new ballpark that much. He’s got a new toy and he can’t play with it yet. Starting Tuesday, he’s going to get to play three games in a row.”

The victory Friday was Cora’s first as interim manager. When asked if Guillen agreed with all of his moves, Cora smiled.

“We won the game,” he said, “so it doesn’t matter.”

DH still stirs strong opinions

By Dennis Brackin Minneapolis Star Tribune

The American League’s designated hitter rule has been both embraced and vilified by the nation’s fans, their perceptions shaped largely by whether they favor offense or traditionalism.

The rule enters its 40th season, and controversy remains surprisingly strong considering this is one change that did exactly what it was intended to do. The DH was added in 1973 to increase attendance and run production in an era when pitching dominated.

Runs and attendance immediately shot up, and the American League became the superior league, winning eight of 11 World

Series starting in 1983, and going 18-3-1 in All-Star Games from 1988 through 2009. Still, purists continue to express outrage, complaining that the DH stifles strategy, as if taking the bunt away from weakhitting pitchers somehow threatens the game’s integrity.

If the criticism has remained constant, the DH position itself has not, having morphed in ways few could have envisioned; the AL adopted the rule on a three-year trial basis and concluded it was so effective that it should be permanent.

The DH was at first a haven for aging or injured sluggers, or power hitters whose defense can politely be described as limited. Elements of that

West Coast on rise in baseball hierarchy

By Kevin Baxter Los Angeles Times

Used to be that baseball’s sun rose — and set — in the East.

The Yankees annually dominated the winter free-agent market and whatever table scraps were left were scooped up by the Red Sox or Phillies.

What happened in the wilderness beyond the Rocky Mountains generally was considered inconsequential.

But that’s all changed this year. With the signing of Albert Pujols, the top free-agent slugger, and C.J. Wilson, the top free-agent pitcher, the Angels may now be baseball’s best team. They’re certainly the most talkedabout.

But their division rivals in Texas — winners of the last two American League pennants, the only team other than the Yankees to win at least two in a row in the three-division era — aren’t far behind after spending $112 million to land Japanese import Yu Darvish.

The Dodgers, meanwhile, have the National League’s best pitcher in Clayton Kershaw and Minnesota claims the league’s most-valurunner-up in outfielder Thomas able-player outfielder Matt Kemp.

westward tilt is a former Mets fan and journeyman reliever from Jersey City, N.J., named Jerry Dipoto.

Two months into his job as general manager of the Angels, Dipoto lured Pujols away from St. Louis — the Gateway to the West — and took Wilson away from the Rangers, making the Angels the sexy pick to win the World Series.

As for transforming the entire region, he says that’s been going on for a while - even if few had noticed.

“I hope the sun is rising, not setting,” he says.

“The West has been good for a while. The NL West as well as the AL. It’s not shocking. Baseball is cyclical. “(The Rangers) are holding the torch, as it were. And it’s our job to take it back.”

Can the Angels-Rangers rivalry really match Red Sox-Yankees? Angels outfielder Vernon Wells thinks so.

“What they’ve accomplished the last two years, what we did this off-season, it’s going to make for an unbelievable story,” says Wells, whose off-season home is a short drive from Rangers Ballpark in Arlington. “The plan for both teams is to make this a truly memorable season for both of us.”

But teammate Torii Hunter has his doubts that the rivalry will fully hold the nation’s attention.

“It’s going to take them awhile to realize the West Coast is on the rise,” he says. “When people see Rangers-Angels on TV, the intensity of the rivalry . . . could catch fire. But the next day . . . while we’re playing, trust me, half the world is asleep.”

philosophy remain — see the Minnesota Twins and Justin Morneau, if the former MVP cannot return to first base.

But as the game has changed in the post-steroid era, so has the DH. Boston and David Ortiz are now the exception, with more teams rotating position players into the DH spot.

With Jim Thome frequently injured the past two seasons, the Twins resorted out of necessity to the rotation strategy. A year ago four players — Thome, Jason Kubel, Joe Mauer and Morneau — got at least 13 starts, and 15 players in all had starts, tying for the AL high.

Manager Ron Gardenhire said the master plan called for Ryan Doumit to be this

season’s primary DH, although Morneau’s status likely will at least temporarily alter that.

As for his dream scenario, Gardenhire said: “It wouldn’t be far-fetched to say Doumit could catch a couple days in a row, and give Mauer a couple DH days. Or put Mauer at first base, and DH Morneau a couple games in a row.

We’re going to put those guys out there, and keep those bats in the lineup.”

Outfielders Josh Willingham and Trevor Plouffe could also figure in the platoon — if Morneau doesn’t claim it for himself. The evolution of the DH certainly isn’t over, because it may once again become a place to house aging sluggers. Having the DH available was certainly

an insurance policy when the Angels signed Albert Pujols to a $240 million contract and the Tigers committed $214 million to Prince Fielder, both players formerly of the NL. Those deals have some believing the DH might soon create an even greater chasm between baseball’s leagues.

Milwaukee General Manager Doug Melvin said National League teams have a difficult time committing to more than six years for a free agent in the 30-year-old range because of the absence of the DH. Melvin’s solution: Convince top free-agent pitchers to come to the NL, where the bottoms of batting orders are significantly weaker than in the AL.

Clippers 112, Warriors 104 LOS ANGELES — Chris Paul had 28 points and 13 assists, and Los Angeles beat Golden State to close within a game of the Lakers for the Pacific Division lead.

Blake Griffin added 20 points, DeAndre Jordan 18 and Mo Williams 14 in the Clippers’ third straight win and 11th in their last 13 games. They are also chasing the idle Lakers for the third seed in the Western Conference with six games remaining.

The Clippers’ 36 wins are their most since they won 40 games in 2006-07.

Reserve Nate Robinson led injury-riddled Golden State with 28 points, including four three-pointers. Klay Thompson added 24 points, Dorell Wright scored 23 and Brandon Rush 22 in the Warriors’ third consecutive loss and 11th in their last 13 games.

David Lee and Richard Jefferson have been sidelined since Friday with injuries, joining Andrew Bogut and Stephen Curry.

Golden State, the NBA’s leading three-point shooting team, made 15 from long range — one off its season high. Wright and Thompson had four threes each. The Warriors were 15-of-21 from the freethrow line, compared to 14-for-30 for the Clippers.

Without Lee down low to guard Griffin, the Clippers dominated the paint.

But Golden State stayed in the game with its strong outside shooting.

Anthony Randolph had 22 points and 11 rebounds, and Michael Beasley scored 26 for the Timberwolves, who lost their ninth straight game and 25th in a row in April dating to 2009.

The Spurs officially clinched the Southwest Division, but more importantly, stayed neckand-neck with Oklahoma City for the No. 1 playoff seed in the Western Conference. San Antonio remains a game behind the Thunder with eight games to go.

Sebastian Telfair scored 21 points for Phoenix, which simply wants to make the postseason. Yet the Suns never looked ready to play from the start and slipped 11⁄2 games behind Denver and Houston for the West’s eighth and final playoff spot.

LAWRENCE PITCHER GARRETT CLEAVINGER PITCHES against Olathe Northwest in this file photo from March 29 at LHS.

Stoll presented him with the lineup card after the game and congratulated him on pitching a no-hitter.

“I was confused at first,” Cleavinger said, “because like I said, I hadn’t thought about it at all.”

I called Stoll on Saturday, one day after Cleavinger ran his record to 3-1, to let him know the official scorebook revealed Cleavinger had pitched a one-hitter and asked if I should call the lefty to let him know that.

“Nah, he’s not the kind of kid who’s going to care either way,” Stoll said.

“We won the game. As long as the Lions are successful, that’s all he cares about.”

Stoll’s right about that.

Watching Cleavinger play football and baseball and listening to how he conducts himself in interviews reveals him as a genuinely humble star athlete.

Jairo Asencio (1-1) earned his first majorleague win by pitching a clean ninth inning, while Chris Perez set the Royals down in order for his second save of the season.

“Always you try to win games,” Choo said, “but especially tonight.”

Choo was plunked by Jonathan Sanchez in the third inning, sending both teams streaming onto the infield. Sanchez and Choo have some history: The left-hander broke Choo’s thumb last season by hitting him with a pitch. Choo wound up on the disabled list for nearly two months.

“I know it’s not on purpose. The catcher set up

baseball program for having such a wide variety of pitches that includes a four-seam fastball, a sinker, a slider and a change-up. Throughout his career, the pitch calls have been relayed from the pitching coach to the catcher to him. He said without the coaches calling the pitches, he wouldn’t have thrown his secondary pitches as regularly, and they wouldn’t be as far along as they are.

He credits teammates with letting him know if he’s tipping pitches or pickoff moves.

And he expresses gratitude for being born lefthanded, in part because lefties’ pitches for mysterious reasons have better movement.

“Being left-handed is a lot more rare, so it’s kind of a commodity,” he said.

“Not as many guys are left-handed. And (lefty teammate) Cameron Solko and I know our ball tails so much more than the right-handers. I have no idea why, but it helps out a lot.”

Cleavinger said he also considered himself fortunate for playing on the KC Sluggers, coached by former major-league

“Whenever we did something wrong or messed something up or short-changed ourselves, he was the first one to be right there telling us,” Cleavinger said. “Everything he did was to make us better men and better baseball players.”

Cleavinger signed in November a letter of intent to continue his education and baseball career at Oregon. To prepare for competing for a spot in the Ducks’ rotation as a freshman, Cleavinger will play for the Springfield, Mo.-based scout team known as the Midwest Nationals. The Nationals are coached by Dave Bingham, who guided Kansas University to its first and only College World Series in 1993.

BOSTON MARATHON

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

2:0__? How low can a marathon go?

BOSTON (AP) — Geoffrey Mutai had barely crossed the Boston Marathon finish line in an unprecedented 2 hours, 3 minutes, 2 seconds when the murmurs began.

How fast can a human run 26.2 miles?

The previously imponderable 2:02 was just seconds away, and the 2-hour marathon was being discussed in reverential terms once used for the 4-minute mile: A barrier once thought insurmountable, now coming into range.

“I used to think that I would never see it in my lifetime,” 1983 Boston Marathon winner Greg Meyer said this week as 27,000 runners converged on the city for the 116th edition of the race. “But now, I don’t know.”

A hearty tailwind and cool temperatures helped Mutai finish the 2011 race in the fastest time ever for the 26.2-mile distance,

shattering the official world record of 2:03:59 set

by Haile Gebrselassie in Berlin in 2008. Runner-up Moses Mosop, who finished 4 seconds back, also beat Gebrselassie’s time, and Ryan Hall beat the American record.

But Mutai finally hit the wall when he went up against the international track federation, which only recognizes records from loop courses to prevent runners from taking advantage of tailwinds or downhill layouts. (Boston is a point-to-point race and, though its hills have traditionally made it one of the tougher courses, the finish line is at a lower elevation than the start.)

That meant Mutai was forced to settle for a “world best” instead of a “world record.” (It remained Gebrselassie’s until Patrick Makau officially broke it at Berlin with a 2:03:38 in September.)

KENYA’S GEOFFREY MUTAI SPEAKS AT A NEWS CONFERENCE Friday in Boston about Monday’s Boston Marathon.

Asked about the decision not to accept his run as a record, Mutai said this week, “I felt pain.”

But the Kenyan soon turned his attention from the record books to the streets. He won the New York City Marathon in the fall, slicing 2 minutes,

37 seconds off the course record there. He is back in Boston to defend his title and try to earn a spot on the Kenyan Olympic team — a competition so tough, and political, he has not technically been guaranteed a spot even if he wins on Monday.

“If I win, I will not even have to ask anything,” said Mutai, who was the 19th Kenyan men’s winner in Boston in 21 years. “It’s not easy to reach the level that we ran last year, but I will try my best.”

Fellow Kenyan Caroline Kilel took the women’s race, outsprinting American Desiree Davila down Boylston Street to win by 2 seconds. It was the fourth straight year that the women’s margin of victory was 3 seconds or less.

But the attention was on the men, and Mutai’s blistering pace.

In a race run without pacesetters on a course that had always been considered difficult, Mutai beat the world record by almost a minute. Back in Boston this week, Mutai compared the progress of marathoners to the improvement in cars, and said the record time will continue to drop.

It took about 26 years for the marathon record to go from 2:07:12 run by Carlos Lopes in 1985 to Makau’s 2:03:38, a drop of 214 seconds; a similar drop would put the world record on the 2-hour doorstep, or drop Mutai’s world best into the 1:59 range.

So, how low can they go?

“No one knows,” said Bill Rodgers, a four-time Boston winner. “That’s the fun of it all.”

While Rodgers commended Mutai on the skill of his victory, he said the fast time was “flukey” — a combination of perfect weather and enough strong contenders who could push each other to the end. Rodgers also noted that 31⁄2 minutes is a long time.

“It’s not like the 4-minute mile,” he said. “I don’t think we’ll be seeing 2 hours on the men’s side any time soon.”

HUSBAND AND WIFE ERIC BERMAN AND DARLA KUBALA took over ownership of the Jackpot Saloon in early December. The couple previously ran a bar in San Francisco before coming to Kansas.

Purchase of bar part of dream decades in making

through.

Husband and wife team Eric Berman and Darla Kubala took over running the Jackpot Music Hall, 943 Mass., in December.

They’re a long way from their previous bar — a place called Tempest in San Francisco — but they’re happy to call Kansas home.

It’s a story of a downtown business that was “just dive enough” for an energetic, maybe slightly hippie, bartender known as “Jayhawk.”

And it’s a story of a couple’s dream to run a bar together that’s 20 years in the making, as long as they’ve been together.

Berman lived in Lawrence from 1974 to 1985, moving around a lot and working on and off in social services. He left Kansas and moved to California, eventually running his own bar and restaurant. But, he says, it was always his intention to come back to raise his now 13-year-old son and to be close to his aging father.

— Eric Berman, owner of Jackpot Saloon & Music Hall But Kubala was reluctant.

“I’m not the girl for you if this is where you want to be,” she says she told Berman during their first visit to Lawrence early in their relationship. No matter.

He’d wait. “He was hellbent,” she says.

In fall 2008, they made another trip. After a long walk to Memorial Stadium, they were hot and sweaty — not in the greatest of moods. But something about seeing the Kansas University marching band sparked a seed of change in Kubala’s mind.

“The people were so fabulous,” she says. “I said to him, ‘Wow, maybe I could be a part of this.’”

So they began looking for houses in Lawrence, and they began looking for bars.

The Bottleneck, 737 N.H., was looking for new

management at the time, but Berman says he heard “through the grapevine” that a little bar and music venue called the Jackpot might “be just dive enough” to be a perfect fit.

He says the negotiations with the owner, who also owns the Replay Lounge, 946 Mass., went well and that they still work together. Berman took the keys Dec. 6. He knew what he was getting himself into.

Kind of.

“The bar business is something we know,” he says. “Lawrence is something I know but I don’t know — there’s been an awful lot of changes.”

He didn’t know the business climate in his time here in the ’70s and ’80s but he does know a lot of the businesses that were here are no more. And the mom and pop bar operation had never really done music.

When Berman talks about that last issue, he can get flustered. Rumors, he says, came out in social media he doesn’t quite understand that said he’d be changing the Jackpot, long

I decided to head in that direction in the off chance of finding the two engaged in a heated arm-wrestling bat-

BEHIND THE LENS

The NCAA Tournament, and more specifically the Final Four, can be regimented to the point of peculiarity.

There are rules to follow, places you can go, places you can’t and plenty of people who are paid to make sure you know the difference.

They even regulate what cups you can drink out of when you are out on the arena floor, but that’s another column for some other time.

Everyone shuffles in and out of the press conferences and practices at the same time. Distinguishing one’s work from the pack can be difficult when everywhere you go there are at least 10 to 20 other people who are looking for the same photo or angle you are.

Not much was happening the day before the championship game other than a couple of press conferences. The media schedule showed five players from Kansas and five from Kentucky along with

ttention soon-to-begraduates and displaced boomers looking for a new career: The jobs of the future aren’t in plastics. They aren’t in law, rocket science or even Botox.

If you want a vocation that will be both lucrative and personally rewarding for decades to come, think chiropractic.

How did I reach this groundbreaking projection? Allow me to explain: Every day, I drive to and from my job downtown through scores of students walking to and from Kansas University’s campus. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but college kids aren’t necessarily inclined to obey rules of traffic — vehicular or pedestrian.

Since I treasure my “preferred driver” insurance status, I drive defensively at a greatgrandmother’s pace, stopping mid-block while young mobs traverse my streets wherever they want and without warning. (Crosswalk? Dude! What’s a crosswalk?)

Last Tuesday, as I drove home from work, the neighborhood teemed with students scurrying back to their rooms after a long day. Half — no, two-thirds! — were walking with their heads hanging low, eyes cast downward, fingers flying on their cellphones.

One girl was so engrossed in digital conversation, she jaywalked right into a parked car.

KA-BLAMMA!!! Her so-called friends buckled in laughter, snapped her picture, then took to their Twitter apps: “omg!! lol!>>>@Brand_ee just bodyslammed @DannyD’s Jeep #klutz #walkmuch? Plz RT!!”

Thankfully, Brand_ee was able to shake it off and have a good laugh. I watched as she readjusted her backpack and

Teen wins contest for designing outfit

By Christina Wood

You can see the excitement in Ryal Mitchell’s face as she talks about the equestrian-inspired outfit she designed for the Make It With Wool Contest.

“What I really enjoyed about designing and making the outfit was the fact that I could make it my own, and it didn’t have to be exactly like the pattern.

assumed the position, phone between opposing thumbs: “OMG DON’T RT THAT TWITPIC >>@MAGGIE_MAY, I WAS NOT DRUNK! #thatawkwardmomentwhen #ouch #concussion” I shudder to think what happened to the young man who craned his neck to watch while trying to text as he rounded the 11th Street curve…

ON HIS BIKE!! (No, I’m not kidding. I wanted to scream at him, but feared it would upset his already-delicate balance.)

As long as there are cellphones, every one of us is an accident waiting to happen.

Hmm. Maybe the way to go is emergency medical technician.

A quick Google check reveals text-related accidents are nationally on the rise: In January, CBS News broadcast security camera video of a Reading, Mass., woman who, while walking and texting, did a belly flop into a shopping mall fountain. I’ll admit, I laughed so hard I almost passed out, but she could have gotten hurt!

A Staten Island teenager, distracted in the same way, fell into an uncovered manhole, dropping five feet into a “pile of muck.” Fortunately, the girl and her phone were found unharmed before

walked into the room.

The coaches greeted each other with smiles, joked and laughed while getting powdered for the CBS camera. They looked like a couple of guys just talking shop and not the same two I’d seen time and time again before the larger press corps. The moment wasn’t spectacular, but it was fresh and I was glad to see that there weren’t 20 other guys firing off frames over my shoulders.

Whenever I’m feeling a bit claustrophobic in these media-saturated situations I remember a quote I read from Jona-

than Ive, Apple Inc.’s senior vice president of industrial design. He said, “It’s very easy to be different, but very difficult to be better.”

I think most people in any sort of creative field come to realize what he’s talking about at some point in their careers and likely through moments of frustration. And sure, I get it. But on a day of nothing but boring press conference photos, different starts to look pretty darn good to me.

her battery ran out.

Last week, a man in La Crescenta, Calif., was rambling down the street, his attention diverted by a compelling text exchange, when he came inches away from having some real FaceTime with an escaped black bear.

Imagine that text: “omg!! lol!>>>Almost body-slammed #blackbear @corner Mayfield&Briggs #klutz #walkmuch? #zoofail RT!!”

We all know the dangers of texting while driving. Who knew texting while hoofing could get you mauled by a grizzly?

And that’s not the worst of it. Doctors have now identified a syndrome called “text neck,” a condition that causes neck strain, headaches and pain in the shoulders, arms and hands — all due to people hunching over their phones, laptops and tablets.

“This is a global epidemic,” says Dean L. Fishman, chiropractor and owner of the Text Neck Institute in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., who counts among his patients a 3-year-old video game addict. “And it can cause debilitating pain that lasts a lifetime.”

In fact, Fishman trademarked the term “text neck” as a more relatable term than the old diagnosis: forward head posture.

(He’s no fool, that Fishman.)

Which brings me around to my original career suggestion. We’re going to need a slew of

professionals to help us work out the kinks in our collective posture: Chiropractors, physical therapists, Rolfers, yoga instructors. It’ll take a village to straighten us all out.

You think I kid, but the entire evolution of man is at stake. If we don’t do something fast, we’ll be back roaming the earth, hunched over with our necks out of whack, knuckles dragging the ground while we relentlessly pound our key pads.

Imagine the texts THEN: “OMG! LOL. #thatawkwardmomentwhen Just body-slammed @ NeanderthalMan! #homosapienserectus #hesactuallykindahot.”

contest, Jan. 26-29, was an intense four days of getting settled in, modeling, and then waiting impatiently to hear the announcement of the winners.

Ryal has been interested in garment construction since she was 5, when she first began sewing by hand. When she was 7, she began using a sewing machine.

Her favorite garments to make are dresses, and she is in practice from being part of 4-H and constructing and modeling garments for 4-H projects.

She became interested in sewing with wool specifically when she observed how versatile of a fabric it was; it can be used in many outfits that can be worn in warm or cooler weather.

The fabric is also very forgiving, and one can easily make repairs or hide mistakes.

Also, she says, outfits made with wool or woolblend fabrics are simply beautiful and well-suited to any occasion, from dressy to casual.

Ryal says that for her next project, she’s going to tackle making various kinds of bags.

“I think the main reason that I love sewing so much is that it is a great way to express myself because there are so many variables — fabrics, patterns, details,” she says.

“I can always create something new each time I sit down at the sewing machine. It’s so much fun, too, walking around in something that I’ve made, especially when people ask where I bought my garment.”

As Berman settles into the scene, he tells a story that emulates why he’s happy to be back — seeing his son’s teacher while bicycling downtown. It’s a little thing, he’ll admit, but it brings out the differences in people’s friendliness here.

“Lawrence is an oasis — it’s just magical,” he says.

“Everyone here knows it.”

Even once-reluctant Kubala’s happy with the lower cost of living, Midwestern hospitality and an independent spirit of running the Jackpot as they see fit.

“It’s like a breath of fresh air, lucky to be here and grateful — it’s terrific for us,” she says.

Berman puts it even more concisely. “It’s good to be home.”

Brief, bizarre encounters Short stories long on poignancy

By Carolyn Kellogg Los Angeles Times

If you have room in your heart, wallet or reading list for just one book of short stories this year, make it Etgar Keret’s “Suddenly, a Knock on the Door.” I don’t care that it’s only April: It’s a superlative collection, one that will easily stand up to all comers.

Cate Murphy, Keret writes short ficretired, tion — often, very short.

Lawrence It’s astonishing what he “‘Defending Jacob.’ It’s a really intense mystery and can do in just two pages: from makes you think. I’ve never go to read a book quite like this; funny bizarre to it made me think about touching things like do we see our satiric children as they really are? to to meta to I’d recommend it.” surprising and surreal.

There are 35 stories in this slen- Keret der paperback, and sometimes they are just strange or sad or sweet enough to make you set the book down and walk away, to give them time to sink in.

Take “Lieland,” in which Keret draws many Shana Talley, of these elements togethparent facilitator, er. Robbie, a lifelong liar, Lawrence lies to cover up — for skip“‘Only Pack What You ping class, going AWOL, Can Carry.’ Travel is an being late for work — usinterest.” ing some tragic element. A run-over dog, he realized, or a niece afraid of her brutal husband, elicited easy acceptance. His first lie involved getting beat up by a neighborhood kid who stole his money (he was supposed to buy his mom cigarettes but instead got himself ice cream). Years later, his mother appears in a dream and leads him to a portal into a blank white world — where the Chuck Hamrick, made-up neighborhood songwriter, bully promptly appears Lawrence “‘The History of Jazz’ by and pounds him.

In that white world, Ted Gionia.”

Lieland, the subjects of lies are made manifest, even the damaged dog. “It was a nice dog, and seemed happy to meet Robbie, who wished his lie had a little less pain and suffering in it,” Keret writes.

That would be enough to

close a story — a lesson, the smallest lie can hurt the innocent — but Keret goes on. He adds a magic gum ball machine, which throws Robbie back into the world where he peppers his lies with kittens and holidays. “(I)t was much harder to make up all the positive lies,” Robbie thinks ruefully.

That too would be enough, but the story has yet another turn. Robbie discovers another liar, Natasha, and brings her to the white world; she too sees that her lies live, and she wants to tend them better (and he plans to be by her side).

This is many things: It’s about lies and unexpected consequences and about a man meeting his match.

It’s about an imaginary world that’s swiftly, visually realized. And it’s about storytelling: the teller’s inclination toward the dark and difficult, the sense that those themes are more welcome than those that are pleasant, and how hard it is to tell a pleasant tale.

Keret, a well-known cultural figure in Israel, took 10 years to put this collection together. In the interim, he’s gotten married, had a son, taken a teaching position at Tel Aviv University and cowritten and co-directed the feature film “Jellyfish,” which won the first feature award at Cannes in 2007. In interviews about “Suddenly, a Knock on the Door,” he has said stability and success slowed his short-story writing — that makes sense, since he began writing in a dark moment, after a close friend committed suicide. In 2005, Keret told the Believer that his stories are “like letters sent from the id to the superego.” That combination of unmediated extremes — imagination and control — is in these stories, often buffeted by winds of serendipity and chaos.

and tugs it to discover a former, different lover inside; she folds away the skin and carries on with the man she’s revealed. A lonely man eats breakfast in the same cafe day after day in “Healthy Start” when he is mistaken for someone else; enjoying the company, he plays along and finds himself standing in for a run of people, filling their needs — at least he is not alone.

Being alone, dying, suicide — in Keret’s hands they have weight but never pull the stories under. “Cheesus Christ” begins with a fake survey about the last words people say before dying, moves to a man dying in a fast-food restaurant, then to the manager and her ideas, and then to the company’s depressed CEO, then to his doctor and his tragic past, then to the butterfly effect, then ties it all together in five pages.

The dying man in “Cheesus Christ” orders a cheeseburger kosher (without cheese) — issues of Jewishness and the politics of Israel have been important to Keret. Born in Israel in 1967 to parents

who are Holocaust survivors, Keret has dealt with the heated political issues of his times by creating work that is wild and absurdist — and sometimes pointedly satirical — running counter to the more grounded Israeli literary tradition. He jokes about this in the first, titular story, in which armed thugs demand that the narrator, a writer like Keret himself, tell them a story. “How do I always get myself in these situations?” he asks.

“I bet things like this never happen to Amos Oz or David Grossman.”

Some stories will speak clearly to people invested in contemporary Israel, with new wealth, Russian immigrants and a suicide bombing. Those references are glancing, however.

Like fables and parables, most of these stories are not tied to a specific time or place. Keret’s satire may be local, but his ironies are global; this is a master storyteller, creating deep, tragic, funny, painful tales with scarcely more words than you’ve read in this review.

Novel on Impressionists paints them extra blue

Tim Steinolage, dishwasher,

By Jim Higgins Lawrence Milwaukee Journal Sentinel “‘Seriously ... I’m Kidding’

by Ellen DeGeneres. It’s so Christopher Moore’s bizarrely great.” new novel blends diligently researched art history smoothly with his fevered, fiendish imagination. So smoothly, in fact, that you must never, EVER give this book to a docent who gives museum tours.

But do give “Sacre Bleu” to anyone who likes tales of the Impressionists — especially comic, downand-dirty ones.

Moore starts from real Colin Murphy, points: the prevalence of 10th-grader, blue in the ImpressionLawrence ists’ paintings, and unex“‘Island in the Sea of Time’ plained questions about

by S.M. Strong.” the death of Vincent Van

Gogh. He then spins a story of Bleu, a centuries-old muse who inspires painters, and the twisted Colorman, a nasty little shaman who creates the tubes of magical ultramarine that painters use in their greatest paintings.

Bleu, the Colorman, the painters and their works are intertwined in a cycle of inspiration, passion, creation and suffering that frequently ends badly for the artists.

I can’t remember another novel with so many syphilis jokes.

Moore opens with Van

Gogh’s final day but soon jumps to the novel’s true heroes, the fictional but entirely plausible baker and wannabe painter, Lucien Lessard, and his friend, the real and entirely dissolute artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. Along the way, he brings on other familiar artists, including Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Edouard Manet, James Whistler, Paul Gauguin, Georges Seurat and so on, many of whom have their encounters with Bleu.

Moore sprinkles reproductions of their real artworks into the book, and stories of the conception of those works into his novel, adding cheeky captions to the paintings.

To our amusement, Moore’s artists aren’t any more reverent with each other.

The Montmartre painters who had dealings with Bleu all have suffered memory lapses, leading Doctor Gachet, who also treated Van Gogh, to lecture Lessard and Toulouse-Lautrec on the dangers of their raw materials: “You know that oil colors can contain chemi-

cals that can harm you?

The mercury in vermilion alone could drive a man to what is called the ‘hatter’s madness.’ We all know someone who has been poisoned by lead white.

Chrome from chrome yellow, cadmium, arsenic, all elements of the colors you use.”

But the Colorman’s ultramarine is the most toxic color of all. As Lessard and ToulouseLautrec strive to unravel the Van Gogh mystery and end their own confusions, they face an ancient, formidable antagonist whose favorite happy endings include a dead painter.

J.K. Rowling’s next book, ‘The Casual Vacancy,’ a black comedy

By Jill Lawless Associated Press

LONDON — It may lack wizards and witches, but J.K. Rowling and her publisher are hoping her first novel for adults, “The Casual Vacancy,” will have the magic touch.

The book’s title was announced Thursday by Little, Brown & Co. along with a brief plot synopsis and publication date.

The publisher said the “blackly comic” tale of rivalry and duplicity in a small English town would be available

worldwide on Sept. 27.

The book will be Rowling’s first post-Potter effort. Her seven-volume saga about the adventures of a boy wizard became one of the most successful fictional series in history and led to a series of extremely popular films.

The new book, aimed at a grown-up audience, will be set in a seemingly idyllic English town called Pagford, which is described as far more menacing than its pretty facade would indicate.

It opens with the sudden death of a popular

man whose unexpected demise shocks the town. The battle for his seat on the local council sets off “the big- Rowling gest war the town has yet seen,” with rich people fighting poor, parents battling their teenagers, and wives in conflict with their husbands.

The publisher said the 480-page novel will be sold as an e-book and au-

dio download as well as in traditional hardback form.

The seven Harry Potter novels have sold 450 million copies and have been translated into 74 languages.

Rowling’s final Potter offering, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” was published in 2007.

She published a short Potter spin-off collection of stories, “The Tales Of Beedle The Bard,” in 2008.

Rowling said earlier this year she wanted to reach an adult audience, but kept the book’s name and publication date se-

cret until Thursday.

In the past, many successful children’s writers have struggled to remake themselves as adult authors. Winnie the Pooh creator A.A. Milne, a successful playwright in his early years, once confessed that he was forced to say “goodbye to all that” after his beloved books about the bear and friends.

But Rowling has one advantage: The Potter books had a huge adult, as well as child, audience.

Jon Howells, of British book store chain Water-

stones, said “The Casual Vacancy” would likely be the year’s best-selling novel.

He said the synopsis came as a surprise and suggested similarities to the work of popular mystery writer Alexander McCall Smith and Mark Haddon, a children’s writer who had a huge adult hit with “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.”

“We were all expecting some sort of crime or mystery novel, but she has, refreshingly, surprised us all,” Howells said.

No lie: Filmmaker taps Kansas roots, shot part of feature film in Eudora “

By Eric Melin

Back in August of 2009, Joe Saunders and his film crew — consisting mostly of friends from New York City’s Columbia University, where he received his MFA in directing — had descended upon Eudora to shoot some scenes for his feature-length directorial debut, the independent comic drama “Sweet Little Lies.”

Saunders — whose onscreen credit is William J. Saunders — is the son of former Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Al Saunders, and he spent his middle and high school years in Overland Park. In high school, he played rugby with two of the film’s producers, Jesse Cuevas and Justin Begnaud.

The movie was shot entirely on HD digital cameras and in real locations rather than sets to save time and money. Altogether, “Sweet Little Lies” took about four years to complete.

“The entire feature was a challenge,” Saunders says. “No one in the crew had worked on a feature film before, so we were learning as we went. We reached out to other filmmakers at our level and tried to get as much information as we could, but, of course, every shoot is different.”

Last year, the comingof-age road trip movie spent most of its time on the film festival circuit, winning the Audience Award and Best of Festival Award from the Dances With Films festival and Best Ensemble Cast from the Feel Good Film Festival, both based out of Los Angeles.

Now “Sweet Little Lies” has the chance to be seen by everybody.

Special to the Journal-World

“SWEET LITTLE LIES,” directed by Overland Park native Joe Saunders, was partially shot in Eudora. It’s now out on DVD. ment has picked up the movie for DVD distribution, getting it in mainstream stores like Walmart. The movie is also now available for rental from Netflix and iTunes.

I asked Joe Saunders to think back to the film’s shoot in Kansas and tell us what it was like to come back to the area.

How long did you film in Eudora and what was that like?

We shot in Eudora for eight incredibly hot, incredibly humid days. It actually poured one day while we were there, but it worked out because we happened to be shooting the one and only pyrotechnic shot in the movie.

We relaxed a bit knowing the rain would keep a fire a bay should it get out of control. In the movie, 14-year-old Bess (Caitlin Kinnunen) and her younger pal Waldo (Joseph Montes) road trip across the U.S. to find and meet her father for the first time.

What part of the coun-

try was Eudora doubling for in the movie?

Eudora was just Eudora, although none of our characters ever name the town. It was meant to be a trailer park in the middle of Kansas, but I see no reason why it couldn’t have been in Eudora!

What about Kansas makes it a good place to shoot from the practical end of things?

The practical reason for shooting there also tied into the fact that I grew up there. Several people that worked on the film were high-school classmates who donated their time to the project.

Friends and family really helped us out with lodging, food, locations, car rentals, and much, much more. It was really great to come back home and shoot a movie.

How did shooting in Kansas City figure into the finished product?

We shot about half the movie in Kansas City and doubled it for locations throughout the shoot — mostly interior locations like hotel rooms and houses. We were lookHow was it different ing for things we could once you moved on to easily cheat for another other locations? location.

Rabbi Neal Schuster, senior Jewish educator, KU Hillel, 722 N.H.: Passover has just ended, which makes this week’s question of what message we can “take away” from Passover even more fitting. As the festival fades in the rear-view mirror of our holiday calendar, we can remember that the message of the festival does not end when the holiday ends; it is only just beginning.

One of the reasons why Passover continues to be one of the most widely celebrated Jewish holidays is because of the compelling and universal nature of its message of freedom, liberation from oppression, and the beautiful call for “all who are hungry” to “come and eat.” At the Passover meal — the seder — we recall and retell the story of our redemption, our escape from suffering and slavery in Egypt, but that is not the end of the story any more than the end of the seder is the end of the holiday.

This is reflected in the fact that when Moses tells Pharaoh, “Let my people

go,” it is never the end of the sentence. It is always, “Let my people go... so that they may serve Schuster God in the wilderness,” or some variation thereof. The purpose of getting out of Egypt was not simply to be free; it was to enable us to stand at Sinai, the place of covenant and commandments.

This is why, beginning on the second night of Passover, we count and bless every day for 49 days, and on the 50th day we celebrate the festival of Shavuot, during which we commemorate receiving the Ten Commandments at Mount Sinai. Freedom is not an end unto itself; it is only a means to living lives of purpose and meaning, holiness and righteousness. As Passover ends, our message is to live our lives in a way that makes our freedom a treasure worth having.

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

If everyone isn’t free, no one is David Berkowitz, past president, Lawrence Jewish Community Congregation, 917 Highland Drive: Passover is the most popular of the Jewish holidays.

More Jews attend a Passover seder than attend services on the High Holy Days. Passover commemorates the exodus of the Jews from Egypt, when God redeemed us from slavery to freedom.

Indeed, freedom is the theme that permeates the Haggadah (prayer book for the seder service).

Even the food that we eat during Passover reminds us of our slavery and our freedom. Matzo, known as the bread of affliction, is made of unleavened dough because of the need to hastily leave Egypt. Horseradish and haroset are eaten together, the first symbolizing the bitterness of slavery and the second the sweetness of freedom.

Toward the beginning of the service we say a prayer that states, “Now we are all in chains. Next year may we all be free.”

I originally thought this was a rather strange thing for me to say at Passover.

Clearly, as an American

Jew, I was free to practice my religion and exercise my rights as a citizen.

It is even Berkowitz stranger when you consider that at this point, for the first time in almost 2,000 years, nearly every Jew lives in countries under similar circumstances.

How then can we say, “This year we are all in chains. Next year we will all be free” with any meaning?

The answer, I believe, is quite clear: No one can be truly free as long as anyone is still in bondage. As long as there are tyrants ruling over people. As long as there are people that cannot freely and openly practice their religion. As long as there are people who live in countries where the basic human rights and the opportunities to succeed are not present, then none of us can truly say we are free.

This is the most important message to take away from Passover.

WISTERIA IS A WOODY VINE whose flowers hang in clusters. There are three species of wisteria commonly available; the least aggressive variety is American wisteria, which also blooms latest — typically in June.

Wisteria provides late spring color J

ust as the lilac blossoms (and questions about them) fade, the brilliant purple and white panicles of wisteria come along to delight their owners and passers-by.

Wisteria is a woody vine whose flowers hang in clusters that reach 12 to 18 inches long on some varieties.

They are often seen growing over arbors and gazebos, with their flowers hanging down through the spaces in the structure like clusters of grapes.

There are three species of wisteria commonly available.

Chinese wisteria, Wisteria sinensis, may be the most popular because of flowers that open all at once for a more showy display than the other wisterias.

Japanese wisteria, Wisteria floribunda, offers a wider range of flower colors and blooms a little later than the Chinese variety.

American wisteria, Wisteria frutescens, is less showy and fragrant than its cousins but is also less aggres-

sive. American wisteria also blooms later — typically in June instead of early-to-late May like the others.

I hope the word aggressive catches some attention, because the Chinese and Japanese varieties usually fit that description well.

Experienced gardeners know to be wary of aggressive plants as well as descriptors like vigorous, extremely hardy, easy to grow and fastgrowing. A gardener who wants to grow wisteria should plan on spending enough time with the plant each year to keep it in check.

Besides their aggressiveness, wisterias have one other somewhat major difficulty: There are a finicky few that fail to or take a long time to bloom.

“If a wisteria isn’t blooming, it probably isn’t getting enough sunlight or it could have possibly gotten cold enough in the winter to kill the flower buds,” says Dr. Jason Griffin, horticulture extension specialist with KState Research and Extension.

Griffin specialized in tree, shrub and other woody plant research and is director of the John C. Pair Horticulture Research Center in Haysville.

As with many plants, excessive nitrogen fertilization or pruning at the wrong time could also inhibit blooming.

In wisteria’s case, avoid pruning in winter and early spring.

I have heard some horror stories, however, from gardeners who seem to be treating their wisteria just right and still are not getting any blossoms.

Root pruning in the fall is recommended by many gar-

dening resources but is not always effective.

If nonblooming wisterias do not fall under one of the possibilities mentioned before, they are most likely still in the juvenile stage. For grafted varieties, the juvenile stage of the plant typically lasts three to four years, but wisteria grown from seed can take 10 to 15 years to mature into flower production.

Local landscape architect Reed Dillon says he prefers to purchase wisteria already in bloom to avoid any nonflowering problems later.

If you find a good wisteria and are planting one for the first time, plan accordingly for the plant’s size and aggressiveness. The vines can grow to 25 feet or more and can girdle or smother other plants. Griffin recommends that gardeners growing wisteria prune every year to keep it in check.

“Enjoy the blooms and the fragrance, then cut it back,” he advises. “No doubt about it, it will spread.”

Although often pictured

and seen growing over arbors and gazebos, Griffin notes: “I never recommend planting it next to a structure unless you really want to replace that over time or you can keep the plant really pruned down.”

Wisteria can be pruned into a tree or shrub form.

American wisteria is considered native to the eastern part of the United States and as far west as Missouri and Oklahoma.

The American species is considered to flower more reliably than the Chinese and Japanese species and is typically less aggressive. “Amethyst Falls” is a popular variety.

Griffin says that even though the blossoms are smaller on American wisteria, plants will sometimes offer a second, albeit subdued, bloom during the same season.

Dual-purpose furniture has secret life Q:

By Terry Kovel

Dual-purpose furniture has been made for centuries.

By the 1700s, there were chairs with large, round backs that flipped down on the top of the arms to make a table. There also were chairs that could be flipped over to be used as library steps.

In the 1800s, new types of springs and hinges made it possible to manufacture a flip-down bed that could be stored in a closet, or card tables with hidden pull-out leaves that transformed into a dining table.

A famous French architect and designer, Armand-Albert Rateau, designed a clever dualpurpose chair in about 1925. The chair had an oak frame with ebony veneer.

The back of the chair was upholstered with silk and straw. The seat back was hinged so that it folded

UNFORTUNATELY, THE REMOVABLE CUSHION and frame that formed the seat of this chair are missing.

The dual-purpose chair by a famous designer was appraised at $15,000$20,000 at a Los Angeles Modern Auction in December 2011. down on the rest of the frame to form a low table.

The Art Deco chair design was unique and could be useful today in a small apartment.

I bought an old barbershop and all the antiques in it, including 1920s barber chairs, tons of razors, razor sharpeners, strops, combs and about 25 ceramic shaving mugs decorated with words and designs and signed on the bottom with makers’ marks.

My favorite mug, titled “10th Infantry,” has a painting of soldiers and a bugler.

I don’t want most of these things. How do I sell all of this?

A:

There are collectors who would be interested in nearly everything in your shop.

The most expensive chairs are those with elaborate iron trim. They sell for hundreds of dollars.

And a rare occupational shaving mug — the kind with the name of an occupation and an image

of a person working — can be worth even more than a chair.

An “Aeronaut” mug picturing a parachutist auctioned for the record price of $45,000 in 2008.

You could sell the things yourself, but if you’re not familiar with the collecting world, you could ask an expert, dealer, appraiser or auction house to help you.

If the collection is in excellent shape, it probably would be best to contact a large auction house that sells shaving mugs, barbershop signs and barber equipment.

The smaller items can be sold in groups (“lots”).

It is easy to find auctions of barbershop items by searching online.

Tip: Paperweights that are displayed on a wooden table in front of a sunny window may magnify the sun’s rays enough to scorch the tabletop.

WE’RE READY FOR SPRING! Full Stock on Annuals, Perennials, Veggies, Trees, Shrubs, ferti-lome Products, Glazed Pots & Seed.

Unstable, lying wife needs to see therapist

Dear Annie: I have been married to “Ellen” for seven years, and we recently moved back to her hometown. Apparently, she left behind an old boyfriend. They were teenagers “in love.” Ellen was repeatedly unfaithful, and the boyfriend tried to break things off.

But Ellen always manipulated him into saying he would love her forever.

At some point, he gave her a promise ring.

She continued cheating on him and never took responsibility, instead blaming her parents or drugs. I knew about the drugs, but the game-playing was only recently revealed to me

by Ellen’s friends and relatives. Had I been aware of that side of her personality, I probably wouldn’t have married her. But three kids later, I love her dearly.

Ellen has some insecurity issues, and I am constantly reminding her

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell anniesmailbox@comcast.net

how much she means to me. But what really bothers me is that she sought out the ex-boyfriend and has started corresponding with him. Her emails are full of lies. The ex tried to extricate himself when his wife became concerned, but Ellen turned into her old vindictive, manipulative self.

When I confronted her, she insisted that she loves me, and that she ended the emails, but now there are strange numbers on our cellphones and her computer. I feel betrayed.

Do I give up on my mar-

‘Girls’ a grim yet engaging sitcom HBO’s ambitious half-hour comedy “Girls” (9:30 p.m. Sunday) sets out to define and lampoon an emerging generation, become the next “Sex and the City,” yet savagely reject that show’s emphasis on surface, shopping and artifice. ‘‘Girls” is written and directed

by Lena Dunham. She stars as Hannah, the show’s central character, a self-professed writer who never writes. In the first scene, her parents (Becky Ann Baker, Peter Scolari) inform her that, two years after college, they’ve decided to stop funding her “groovy” Brooklyn lifestyle. Later, she tries to convince her boss that it’s time for her to stop interning and start receiving a paycheck.

These moments nicely satirize the bizarre economics of the new “bohemia,” a fantasyland where wouldbe Hemingways live off their daddies and toil in a literaryindustrial complex that doesn’t bother to pay “creators” who don’t even pretend to work.

The interpersonal relationships in “Girls” are equally grim.

Hannah’s pretty roommate, Marnie (Allison Williams), appears confident, but in a compulsive, bossy fashion. She barely endures her wimpy boyfriend because he doesn’t know how to act like a man, either in or out of bed. In contrast, Hannah couples sporadically with Adam (Adam Driver), an actor who uses sex to express hostility and contempt. ‘‘Girls” will inspire strong feelings. It laughs at privilege and insiderdom but features the daughters of NBC News anchor Brian Williams, playwright David Mamet and drummer Simon Kirke (Bad Company) in its cast. Some will chafe at its characters’ sense of entitlement. Others may identify with their state of being personally and professionally adrift.

Tonight’s other highlights

Scheduled on “60 Minutes” (6 p.m., CBS): a look back at the life and career of the late Mike Wallace.

Scheduled on “Dateline NBC” (6 p.m.): “My Kid Would Never Do That.”

“Titanic” (8 p.m., ABC) concludes.

“Masterpiece Classic” (8 p.m., PBS) presents “The Mystery of Edwin Drood.”

Much hinges on a tattoo on “The Killing” (8 p.m., AMC).

Lane’s new friend raises eyebrows on “Mad Men” (9 p.m., AMC).

The father of Lucrezia’s child returns on “The Borgias” (9 p.m., Showtime).

riage? Do I confront the other guy and let him know how deceitful Ellen has been? She has emotional problems, and I fear this will send her back into the drug world.

I am afraid to leave my kids home with her, so I have asked friends and family to stop by often.

Ellen refuses counseling, so now I’m seeing a therapist behind her back. — Tired of Losing to an Old Flame Dear Tired: Ellen sounds emotionally unstable, not to mention untrustworthy.

Leave the boyfriend out of it, and concentrate on your wife. She’s a mess and needs help. Please don’t wait until your children suffer. Insist that Ellen see a therapist, not only to save your marriage, but to save herself.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Sunday, April 15: This year you experience a lot of pressure. You often feel as though others are working against you. They simply have different views and choose to express them. Be grateful for their honesty. If you are single, you could meet someone who professes friendship but acts in quite a romantic fashion. If you are attached, the friendship that exists between you becomes even more important. Do not allow insecurity to develop.

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) Look at your expectations.

Could they be the reason that you sometimes feel let down? Expectations help create dreams, but they also might cause a downer or two.

Tonight: Remain sensitive to others.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) If you feel a little tired, take a hard look at what you have done as of late. You cannot be everywhere all the time. Tonight: Make it early.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Keep reaching out for that stubborn person who is standing on ceremony. Eventually he or she will respond and realize that the situation is not desirable. Tonight: Go for something exotic.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Resist getting into a tango with a partner or the IRS. Just do what you must. Tonight: Chill out.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Tension builds around a key person. He or she seems to be in a dark mood, or is that you?

Lighten up the moment. Tonight: Go along with others’ plans.

44 Tillers of the soil

jacquelinebigar.com

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Understand your role in facilitating someone’s day. Sometimes, when you do too much, resentfulness comes out. Tonight: Get a head start on tomorrow.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Avoid projecting any negativity. Someone you adore might catch it, and you love this person’s usually happy ways. Tonight: Let the good times roll.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You are on top of what you must do. A last-minute financial matter or problem at home could occupy your time. Tonight: Find time to relax.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Help a friend who is down in the dumps. Your presence could help turn this person’s day around. Tonight: Visit with a sibling.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) How you handle your finances and what you do could change a lot in your life. If you are doing taxes, be thorough and careful. Tonight: Treat yourself well.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Though friends and family might be a bit aloof, you are able to move past limitations imposed by their moods. You understand, though — you have been moody too. Tonight: Go with an impulse.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You might want to go on a retreat, or at least play it low-key today. Understand what you expect from someone, but know that he or she cannot give that to you at the moment. Tonight: Think “Monday.”

couple any money, and I said, “No, I already sent them a nice gift.” She said she gave them $300 and that I should do the same.

She phoned repeatedly, asking whether I sent the check. I finally told her yes so she would leave me alone.

Today she called saying she’d asked my granddaughter whether she had received a check from me.

Of course, she had not.

My sister is still insisting I send them money, and I don’t know what to say to keep the peace. — Did My Part Already Dear Did: Tell your sister you are NOT going to send another gift because you already sent one. Repeat as often as necessary until she gets the message.

But you might apologize to your granddaughter for ACROSS the misunderstanding.

ISTANBUL — In a rare show of unity, Iran and the world’s big powers on Saturday hailed their first nuclear meeting in more than a year as a key step toward further negotiations meant to ease international fears that Tehran may weaponize its nuclear program.

The one concrete reflection of progress was an agreement to meet again on May 23 in Baghdad, a venue put forward

by Iran.

But huge hurdles still lie in the way of a common understanding of what Iran should do to end suspicions of its nuclear activities. Those barriers may prove insurmountable considering the differences between Tehran and the six nations trying to persuade it to compromise on its nuclear efforts.

Since revelations surfaced 10 years ago that it was secretly building a uranium enrichment program, Tehran has argued it has a right to enrichment to create reactor fuel under the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, and insisted it will never use that ability to create the fissile core of a nuclear warhead.

But the United States and other countries accuse

Iran of repeatedly violating the treaty, and Tehran continues to expand enrichment despite four sets of U.N. Security Council resolutions and other penalties imposed by the U.S., Europe and others. Adding to concerns, it now is enriching uranium to levels closer to the grade needed for nuclear weapons in an underground bunker that could be impervious to attack.

The talks in Istanbul on Saturday saw the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany sitting at the same table with Iran. Knowing the road ahead is tough, both sides focused on what they said was the positive tone of the talks, in contrast to the previous round 14 months ago.

That last session broke up with no progress after Iranian negotiators refused to even consider discussing enrichment EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, who formally led the talks on behalf of the six powers, called the meeting “constructive and useful.”

She expressed the hope they will lead to “a sustained process of serious dialogue, where we can take urgent practical steps to build confidence and lead on to compliance by Iran with all its international obligations.”
