NIH cuts could affect cancer centers Christians celebrate Easter Sunday

KANSAS UNIVERSITY

Despite budget challenges at the National Institutes of Health, the Kansas University Cancer Center is pushing forward with its application for National Cancer Institute designation this fall.

The National Institutes of

Health is part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and sponsors all kinds of medical research nationwide. It is the largest source of funding for medical research in the world.

The National Cancer Institute is part of the NIH, and it funds cancer research. It also designates National Cancer Centers. KU is

pursuing that designation, which would be an economic boon for the region and would mean greater access to cancer care for residents of the state.

The NIH absorbed a $260 million cut — less than 1 percent of its budget — during the latest round Please see CUTS, page 9A

co, a Roman Catholic and captain of the flight, and Clarence Powell as the third pilot and flight engineer on the crew.

He found the pope to be friendly, down-to-earth and intelligent.

“The six days we were together were so exhilarating,” he said. “It’s changed my life. I hope that I was somewhat sensitive before, but it gave me eyes that see. I’m far more aware of noticing a human need and remembering the needs of others than I ever was before this experience.”

With the honor coming only six years after the pope’s death, it’s one of the shortest tracks to sainthood in recent memory. Krueger said the honor is deserved.

“If there ever is an appropriate term for somebody being a saint, it would be John Paul II,” he said.

Stan Walters sits down with a reporter to talk about how he trains law enforcement officers on how they interview suspects and witnesses.

His first statement: “First off, have you ever lied to your mother?”

He’s joking. (I think.)

Walters, who is from Kentucky, is a nationally known expert in interrogation theory and techniques.

His biography lists him as an expert in “human deception behavior.” He’s trained to tell when people are lying. His website is thelieguy.com.

Walters was at the Lawrence Police Department last week helping train 22 police officers and private security personnel as part of a five-day class. Two Lawrence officers participated in the training.

The common image of a police interview might be a good-cop, bad-cop routine from a movie.

But during a 20-minute conversation, Walters talks more about kinder, gentler Walters ways of communicating as a way to solicit critical information not only from suspects but also from witnesses and victims as well.

“It’s reaching out and meeting the need of the subject and the suspect, as opposed to John Wayne-ing them to death and dominating them,” said Walters, who has appeared several times on national television, including CBS’ “48 Hours.”

Walters said teaching officers more in-depth, narrativebased interview techniques, including how to study and interpret body language, is crucial for solving cases and making sure statements are admissible and would withstand challenges in court.

One challenge for officers when interviewing witnesses or victims could be either to get them to calm down if something tragic just happened or to try to get them to talk about details that might not seem germane at the time.

POPE JOHN PAUL II BIDS FAREWELL to the Shepherd crews in Washington, D.C. Nelson Krueger, Lawrence resident, was one of the pilots for Shepherd I, John Paul II’s aircraft for his first visit to the United States in 1979.

Nelson Krueger was passing time in his hotel room in St. Louis that September in 1979. He was on a layover while working his job for Trans World Airlines, or TWA. Then the phone rang.

Little did Krueger know, the phone call would lead to what he calls “a treasured experienced and the privilege of my lifetime.”

Krueger, now 63, had been chosen to be on the flight crew for Shepherd I, the airplane that carried Pope John Paul II on his first trip to the United States.

Krueger was joining about 60 others who crewed this plane and two others for a six-day trip, during which the pope gave 67 speeches to more than 5 million people.

On May 1, John Paul II is set to be beatified, the last step before being canonized as a saint.

New York City While at St. Patrick’s Cathedral, the pope showed once again how he cared for all people. A young priest was tasked with carrying a heavy light to illuminate the pope’s way along a carpet. The pope left his path just to wipe the priest’s brow with a handkerchief, something no one else had done.

“You could have heard a pin drop,” Krueger said.

Later, on the plane out, the Secret Service agents along on the trip advised them of a bomb threat on the plane. Fallucco considered it a hoax, but the threat would hold up the trip at each stop.

Pilot Boston Krueger’s first encounter with the pope was as unexpected as it was damp. Rain swamped Boston, and as the flight crew waited for the pope’s party to board the aircraft, a man entered the cockpit.

“I don’t know how, or if, I was expecting to meet the pope, but seeing him standing there, face-to-face, wet, in the cockpit, left me dumbfounded,” Krueger said.

The pope was dripping wet in his cape, but he gave Krueger a hug, remarking how young Krueger was.

Krueger could only respond, “You are so wet,” and offered his crew coat hanger for the pope’s cape so it could dry on the way to New York City.

The pope exhibited this relatability throughout the trip.

“When we arrived at each destination as he deplaned, he would stop and look into the cockpit, posing with downward extended arms with palms up looking quizzically, as if to say, ‘How do I look?’”

Krueger said. “He made us feel a part of his journey.”

POPE JOHN PAUL II WATCHES NELSON KRUEGER make a radio call. Krueger, a Lawrence resident, was one of the pilots for Shepherd I, John Paul II's aircraft for his first visit to the United States in 1979. drug-sniffing dogs checked all the luggage, including the flight crew’s. Krueger had brought along his guitar because he’d heard the pope liked to play. During the break, the pope pulled out the 12-string guitar and started singing “Silent Night” in his native language, Polish.

“It was a holy moment. All was calm for just a moment,” Krueger said.

After the song, the pope noticed Krueger’s TWA sticker on the guitar.

“He said, ‘TWA means traveling with angels,’” Krueger recalled.

Des Moines, Iowa The original travel plan deviated when the pope decided only weeks before his trip that he wanted to visit Living History Farms in Iowa.

The state closed 50 miles of interstate to use for parking, and 400,000 people showed up for Mass. A stop that was supposed to take two hours ended up taking six.

“He was magnetic — far and away the most charismatic person that I have ever met,” Krueger said. “I thought he was going to try to say hello and touch every one of them, and he would have.”

Chicago After a night landing in Chicago, the Mass the next day in Grant Park was one of

the largest gatherings in Chicago’s history.

“I’ve never seen anything even close,” Krueger said.

More than a million people filed into the park after John Paul II and his 350 bishops.

“When asked what was so special about this pope, the people waiting for just the thrill to catch a glimpse of him said, ‘He’s the people’s pope, a simple priest, he’s one of us,’” Krueger said.

Washington, D.C. On the last leg of the trip, the pope made his longest visit to the cockpit, sitting on the jump seat signing family Bibles and blessing special items. He listened to the radio on the speaker and gave tokens of appreciation to the crew.

Once they arrived in Washington, the crew took pictures with the pope and then flew the planes back to Kansas City to change them back to regular passenger airliners.

It was back to business as usual, but the effect of the trip has never worn off Krueger.

“I’m certain that it’s taken 32 years for it to sink in,” Krueger said. “I am just now beginning to realize and appreciate what a tremendous experience that was.”

120 dead after violent 2 days Syrian security forces fired on funeral processions that drew tens of thousands Saturday, one day after the bloodiest crackdown so far in the uprising against President Bashar Assad. The shootings pushed the two-day death toll to more than 120, and two lawmakers and a religious leader resigned in disgust over the killings.

The resignations were a possible sign of cracks developing in the regime’s base in a nation where nearly all opposition figures have been either jailed or exiled during the 40-year dynasty of the Assad family.

President to step down in 30 days

Community loses leader, teacher in crash NTSB says it may take a year to know why plane went down near Topeka ONLINE: Watch the video at LJWorld.com

SCOTT CITY (AP) — One of four family members killed Friday in a plane crash north of Topeka is being remembered as an upand-coming leader in Scott City, where he was a Scott County commissioner and member of

Yemen’s embattled president agreed Saturday to a proposal by Gulf Arab mediators to step down within 30 days and hand power to his deputy in exchange for immunity from prosecution, a major about-face for the autocratic leader who has ruled for 32 years.

A coalition of seven opposition parties said they also accepted the deal but with reservations. Even if the differences are overcome, those parties do not speak for all of the hundreds of thousands of protesters seeking President Ali Abdullah Saleh’s ouster, and signs were already emerging that a deal on those terms would not end confrontations in the streets.

A day earlier, protesters staged the largest of two months of demonstrations, filling a five-lane boulevard across the capital with a sea of hundreds of thousands of people.

Dylan Spencer, 35, of Scott City, was piloting a small plane when it crashed into a muddy field three miles north of Topeka. His wife, Amy, 34, and their two daughters, 7-year-old Chase and 5-year-old Ansley, also died in the crash. They were on their way to visit Amy Spencer’s family near

Topeka to celebrate Easter.

On Kansas Highway 4, near the dirt road leading to the crash site, four crosses — two with stuffed Easter bunnies — memorialized the Spencer family.

“He was a young person that was very active in the community,” Larry Hoeme, a Scott County commissioner, said of Dylan Spencer. “He is one that will be missed for years to come. He was one of the young leaders of the community. It’s devastating.”

Board: Trump skipped primary voting

By Mark Fagan mfagan@ljworld.com

Donald Trump says he’s considering running in the primary for the Republican presidential nomination, but the real estate mogul didn’t vote in primary elections for more than two decades, according to the New York City Board of Elections.

The possible GOP candidate voted in a primary election in the 1989 New York City mayor’s race — when Rudy Giuliani beat businessman Ronald Lauder — then didn’t vote in a primary for 21 years, board spokeswoman Valerie Vazquez said Saturday. The report on Trump’s voting record initially appeared on TV station NY1 a day earlier.

Records also show Trump skipped the 2002 general election, when Republican incumbent Gov. George Pataki defeated Democrat H. Carl McCall, Vazquez said. But Trump told the station he’s voted in every general election.

Former Sony chairman, 81, dies

John Young/Journal-World Photo

TWO-YEAR-OLD HAILEE ABNEY, TOPEKA, PLACES a blue plastic egg into her Easter basket Saturday during the annual Easter egg hunt held at South Park.

The man in line to become president of the Lawrence school board two years from now wants current board members to delay discussing consolidation plans for at least another couple of months to give four incoming board members time to shape the public-participation part of the process.

But the man on track to become board president July 1 isn’t interested in putting on the brakes — not for an issue that was studied for eight months, shaped into a formal recommendation by a community task force and forwarded to the elected board for action and implementation.

Monday night, board members will consider taking the next step: endorsing a plan that would appoint a group responsible for recommending how — not if — six elementary schools would be reduced to three or four within two to three years.

“We can’t put things on hold for weeks or months,” said Mark Bradford, who has two years remaining on his term and will be the next board president after receiving the most votes in the 2009 board election. “If government did that in general, it would be at a standstill all the time. We can’t wait and say, ‘We’ll just put it off until the new board is seated.’ I’m not in favor of that, nor do I think any of the current members are. We need to move forward.”

Sony’s president and chairman from 1982 to 1995, Norio Ohga died Saturday in Tokyo of multiple organ failure, the company said. He was 81.

Ohga’s connection to music steered his work. The flamboyant music connoisseur insisted the CD be designed at 4.8 inches in diameter to hold 75 minutes worth of music — in order to store Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony in its entirety.

From the start, Ohga recognized the potential of the CD’s superior sound quality. In the 1970s, when Ohga insisted CDs would eventually replace record albums, skeptics scoffed.

Sony sold the world’s first CD in 1982, and CDs overtook LP record sales in Japan five years later. The specifications are still used today and fostered the devices developed since.

Beckham, Elton, Mr. Bean get royal invite

kbritt@ljworld.com

David Beckham, Elton John and Mr. Bean actor Rowan Atkinson will mingle with dozens of royal guests at Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding, according to an official guest list released Saturday that includes one uncomfortable presence — the Bahraini crown prince accused of a brutal crackdown on protesters.

St. James’s Palace also released the seating plan at Westminster Abbey, which showed that relatives of William’s mother Princess Diana are sitting across the aisle from the royal family, joining the Middletons in an exception to the traditional division of a church into a bride’s side and groom’s side.

Although about 1,900 guests have been invited to the couple’s wedding ceremony at Westminster Abbey, half of them will sit in the section of the abbey where views of the altar are restricted, and they will have to rely upon video screens to follow the service.

In honor of its 60th anniversary, Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center is recognizing three families as pioneers of mental health treatment in Douglas County.

“Throughout the history of the Bert Nash center, these families have contributed significantly to the organization and community mental health services throughout the region,” CEO David Johnson said.

The honorees are the Menninger family, the Nash family and the Shaw-Witt family. They will be recognized Monday during a community celebration at

The Oread, which begins at 5:30 p.m.

Each of these families had a family member who had a special connection to the Bert Nash center. These individuals accomplished a lot in their lifetimes, professionally and personally. Here’s a brief look at their pioneering work:

Karl Menninger (1893-1990) The Menninger Foundation was established in 1941 by the Menninger family in Topeka. It consisted of a clinic, a sanitari-

um and a school of psychiatry.

The foundation was started

by Karl Menninger, his brother, Will, and his father, Charles Frederick. It was recognized as a world leader in psychiatric and behavioral health treatment.

Roy Menninger, son of Will Menninger, said, “They had an enlightened idea about treating mental illness that was in contrast to the human warehouse that all of the state hospitals were back then — when there was no treatment to speak of.”

He said his uncle, Karl, wrote a number of influential books, including “The Human Mind” in 1930, which had a tremendous Please see PIONEERS, page 7A Karl Menninger

Kansas University Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little gave support for the KanGrow Engineering Initiative Saturday at the Lawrence Chamber of Commerceorganized Eggs & Issues event.

Gray-Little spoke with state legislators about the initiative, which proposes using lottery funds to help bolster engineering programs in state universities.

“I strongly believe this is the way of investing in a proposal that’s good for the state,” she said. “Everyone benefits from it.”

The initiative — H.B. 2149 — seeks $1 million in 2012, $4 million in 2013 and $7 million in 2014 for the programs designed to increase the number of students graduating with engineering degrees in the state. The bill passed the Senate in March and is awaiting House approval.

The Democrats on the panel Saturday — House Minority Leader Paul Davis, Lawrence; State Sens. Tom Holland, Baldwin City, and Marci Francisco, Lawrence;

and State Rep. Barbara Ballard, Lawrence — expressed support for the initiative, while the two Republicans — State Reps. TerriLois Gregory, Baldwin City, and Anthony Brown, Eudora — talked about concerns with how the initiative would be funded.

The six legislators fielded questions from the audience about a variety of topics, including political donations by labor unions, Kansas Public Employees Retirement System and the recent resignation of Kansas Bioscience Authority CEO Tom Thornton.

Saturday’s event was the last of three Eggs & Issues events this year, which have all been held at the Alton Ballroom at Pachamama’s, 800 N.H. Hank Booth, the Chamber’s government and community affairs director, said he was pleased with the program this year. About 50 people attended Saturday, and Booth said attendance at all three events was higher this year than in previous years.

But Rick Ingram, who takes office July 1 and is in line to lead the board in two years after having finished first in the April 5 election, says such movement regarding consolidation — wherever it might lead — should begin only after Shannon Kimball, Randy Masten, Keith Diaz Moore and he have been sworn in for their four-year terms.

The Lawrence Elementary School Facility Vision Task Force may have recommended a list of potential schools for closure, Ingram said, but that doesn’t mean the process for shaping the discussion must be decided now.

“It would be a reasonable thing to think that the four new members of the board were elected, at least in part, so that they could determine the process,” Ingram said.

“My concern is that the outgoing members of the board — from my perspective — it looks like they’re rushing through the process … one that the new board is going to inherit.

“The new board is the one that will have to live with this.

It should be the new board that determines what the process is.”

Up for consolidation In February, the task force wrapped up eight months of work by recommending that the district close Wakarusa Valley School, then work to consolidate six others into either three or four within three to five years. The consolidation candidates: Cordley, Hillcrest, Kennedy, New

“

I worry that’s going to pit one school against another. It’s going to pit neighborhoods against neighborhoods. I think what we’ll end up with is winners and losers.”

— Rick Ingram, incoming school board member York, Pinckney and Sunset Hill schools.

The current board created the task force at this time last year, and two of its members — Rich Minder and Scott Morgan — are board members who did not seek re-election. They leave office July 1.

Ingram listened at district headquarters April 11 as board members discussed moving ahead with consolidation plans. He also has reviewed the proposal written by Superintendent Rick Doll that is up for consideration Monday night.

The proposal, guided by input from the existing board, calls for the six schools’ site councils to nominate members for a “Central and East Lawrence Elementary School Consolidation Working Group,” one that would be tasked with recommending consolidation that would be financed with a bond issue.

“However, should the bond vote fail, there shall still be consolidation,” Doll’s proposal states.

Ingram favors a “more open-ended process,” one that would allow members of the school communities to discuss whether they would consider consolidation to be a positive move.

schools to figure out how to end up with three or four schools doesn’t make much sense, he said.

“I worry that’s going to pit one school against another,” Ingram said. “It’s going to pit neighborhoods against neighborhoods. I think what we’ll end up with is winners and losers.”

Or board members against board members.

“If I am not really comfortable with whatever happens, then I’m not going to feel any sense of obligation to support it,” Ingram said. “These are recommendations. You don’t have to follow recommendations.”

Bradford points out that the new board also will include himself, Bob Byers and Vanessa Sanburn, three incumbent board members who have grappled with ongoing budget cuts for two years and have faced grim revenue projections.

He not only plans to move ahead with consolidation planning but also holds out hope for having members appointed to the working group and meetings started

by July 1.

“The entire community’s going to have to give up something, and that’s the number of elementary schools that we have communitywide,” Bradford said. “That’s what we’re giving up. We can’t afford to keep them all.

“I don’t want to delay this in any fashion, nor am I trying to move things too quickly. We need to move forward.

The community knows what we’re doing. There isn’t a reason to delay.”

Meteorologist: Tornado in St. Louis was at least an EF3 ST. LOUIS (AP) — The National Weather Service says a tornado that socked St. Louis’ Lambert Airport and nearby suburbs was at least an EF3 on the tornado-strength scale and followed an eerily similar path as a devastating 1967 twister than left an estimated $15 million damage.

Meteorologist Scott Truett says survey crews with the weather service’s office near

St. Louis are still assessing the twister that barreled through the area Friday night, closing Lambert Airport and sending five people to the hospital.

An EF3 tornado carries wind speeds of 136 to 165 mph.

The weather service say the 1967 twister measuring EF4 — with peak winds up to 200 mph — ripped a 21-mile-long path of destruction across St. Louis County, killing three peo-

ple and injuring more than 200 others.

Lambert Airport is expected to reopen today.

St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay says the airport could be operating at 70 percent capacity starting today but will reopen only if power is restored. An Ameren Missouri spokesman says power was supposed to have been restored late Saturday.

Crash CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

“The community has lost a tremendous asset with Dylan and his family,” Hoeme said.

Jefferson County Sheriff Jeff Herrig said Friday that based on a witness’ account, he believed the plane’s motor sputtered and then cut off before the crash. The plane left a long trail of debris in conditions so sloppy that emergency crews initially had trouble reaching the wreckage.

Peter Knudson, a spokesman for the National Transportation Safety Board, which is investigating the crash, told The Associated Press on Saturday that preliminary indications are that both engines were producing power at the time of impact.

“There was no distress call,” Knudson said. “The pilot was in contact with air traffic control. The aircraft struck the ground in a leftwing, nose-low attitude at a high velocity and cartwheeled. That created an impact crater 21 feet long, and the entire debris field was 370 feet long by 100 feet wide.”

He said the engines ended up 4 to 5 feet below ground.

Weather conditions around Topeka were cool and damp, but there were no severe storms in the area when the plane went down.

At a news conference Saturday near the crash site, Timothy LeBaron, senior air safety investigator with the NTSB, said investigators spent Saturday collecting wreckage. A representative from Hawker Beechcraft was also expected to arrive Saturday evening to assist with the investigation.

A preliminary report should be available in about five days, but LeBaron said a complete report, and a definitive answer as to what caused the crash, may not be available for up to a year.

Reaction in the small, western Kansas farming community where the Spencers lived was swift as news of the tragedy unfolded heading into the weekend.

“I learned the news an hour ago,” Rep. Don Hineman of Dighton said late Friday. “I’ve

known the family all my life.

Dylan was a very, very ambitious and hard-working young man. Amy was involved in education. It’s just a tragedy.”

Jack Frick, also a Scott County commissioner, said Dylan Spencer was a strong businessman and great leader. He said the family was well-known throughout the community and were avid Kansas State fans.

Don Wells, superintendent in the Scott County School District, said Amy Spencer was a wonderful teacher.

“She had wonderful energy,” Wells said. “She was devoted to her students. She worked hard at it. Many times you’d find her sitting on the floor with her young students. We’ll miss her being around.”

Lane County farmer Vance

Ehmke, who was a customer of Dylan Spencer’s business, said Spencer frequently visited his farm. Ehmke said Dylan Spencer had a “sense of ethics that made our generation feel good about turning things over to his generation.”

“Our family has known his parents, as well as Dylan and his family, forever,” Ehmke said. “We have the highest respect for them all. We are just crushed to hear of these deaths.”

Karl also was instrumental in founding the Winter Veterans Administration Hospital after World War II. It became the largest psychiatric training center in the world. “He was a brilliant teacher,� Roy Menninger said. “He was an inspiration and a man with considerable vision. He was a man of many ideas.�

everything from intelligence tests to personality development. “He had the idea that everybody was entitled for help in mental and emotional problems in the same way that they were for measles and tuberculosis,� Nash Mills said.

Speaking at a Lions Club meeting in 1947, he collapsed and was rushed to the hospital, where he died of a cerebral hemorrhage at age 48.

When Nash died, Karl Menninger referred to him as his “most distinguished student.�

In 1950, Lawrence’s first community mental health center opened and was named in his honor. Nash Mills thinks her father would be surprised and overwhelmed that the center bears his name. “I don’t think he realized the importance of his contributions. He knew he was doing good things, but I don’t think he realized how special it was,� she said. “It was unique at the time — the same as the Menningers.

They really were breaking the ice in a field that was just not talked about at all.�

Jennifer said her mother’s message was: What we do is made better together. “Everything that she did was about bringing people together and creating positive relationships,� Jennifer said. “I am continually being humbled and made more appreciative of how many people’s lives she touched.�

Her daughter, Jennifer Shaw, said, “That was very key for her. She never saw mental health services as being for one particular segment of the community, but for all.�

Dr. Bert Allen Nash Bert Nash (1898-1947) A 1923 graduate of Washburn University, Bert Nash studied under the guidance of Karl Menninger.

In 1930, Nash became director of Kansas University’s Psycho-Educational Clinic. He also was appointed associate professor of education. His faculty position included teaching courses in educational psychology and the psychology of reading.

Nash was interested in studying “the whole child� and recognized psychological problems could be responsible for educational difficulties. “He worked in the area of mental health back in the days when they were calling them nervous clinics and really had no services, particularly for kids — just nothing available,� said his daughter, Barbara Nash Mills.

During the 1930s, Nash was one of the most sought-after speakers in the country. He began a series of radio talk shows where he discussed

Sandra Shaw Sandra Shaw (1941-2010) She was born and raised in New Hampshire and moved to Lawrence in 1962 to enter the doctoral program in psychology at KU. She earned her master’s degree in 1965 and a doctorate in 1970. The following year, she left her position as a clinical psychologist at the Family Service and Guidance Center in Topeka to become the director of children’s services at the Bert Nash center.

In 1979, Shaw became chief executive officer and held the position until retirement in 2001. During her tenure, the center increased from about 10 employees to 180. Her goal was to create, develop and provide top quality mental health care for all Douglas County residents, regardless of income or need.

of budget negotiations, but House Republicans had wanted to cut the budget by $1.6 billion, according to The Associated Press.

“We can’t control that,” said Paul Terranova, vice chancellor for research at KU Medical Center. “What we want to do is put in the best application possible.”

Applying for designation is never a sure thing, he said, and if KU doesn’t do well, it will revise accordingly and go back for another try. He said that KUMC officials were happy to see that the budget was not cut as much as it could have been this time around.

The KU Cancer Center’s external advisory board praised its efforts overall earlier this month, but touched on the budget situation.

“The (external board) unanimously agrees that you should proceed with your plans to submit (an application) to the NCI this fall despite the many uncertainties related to the budget for the National Cancer Institute, and its ability to designate new cancer centers,” wrote George Weiner, director of the Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Iowa, who leads the external board that is reviewing KU’s efforts.

An NCI spokesman wrote in an email this week that the agency has not had sufficient time to analyze the recent cuts, and probably wouldn’t know how the cuts would affect cancer center allocations for a number of weeks.

In an interview this week, Weiner said he didn’t think anybody quite knows what’s going to happen with the NCI budget.

“I don’t think there’s any question that the Cancer Center program at NCI is going to be affected by these cuts,” he said.

Weiner said the external board recommended that KU proceed because of the progress made to date. He said he felt that if KU submitted an outstanding application, it wouldn’t get held up because of budgetary reasons.

KU’s drug discovery and development program stands out as a strong point in comparison with other cancer centers, and it’s one that many other cancer centers — including his own, Weiner said — would love to have.

Weiner said financial support of the NIH is important locally for the KU effort but also has implications across the nation as many projects and studies are reliant on those funds.

“It’s an extraordinary time right now, and we have an extraordinary opportunity,” he said.

The cuts will also affect basic science research at KU and KUMC outside of the cancer effort, Terranova said.

“There will likely be a slight reduction in the amount of money that’s already been awarded to us,” he said, adding that more people would be competing for a smaller amount of total grant dollars in the future. “With new grants coming in, of course, they would be reduced also.”

Temporary single lane closures should be expected in these areas but traffic will most likely be able to flow through the area. For a map of the overlay projects go to www.lawrenceks.org/public_works/streetmaintenance and click on “2011 Street Maintenance Plan.” ● City maintenance crews are working on a microsurfacing program.

Roads throughout the city will be repaved and resurfaced. Lane reductions and possible street closures may occur during the process. To find out what streets the city has targeted, visit the city’s website at www.ci.lawrence.ks.us. ● On Kasold Drive between Clinton Parkway and 31st Street, both directions of traffic have moved to the southbound lanes of Kasold. Each direction is narrowed to one lane as crews rebuild the roadway. Access from side streets is right-turn only. The project is expected to last for several months. ● From 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. weekdays, Indiana Street will have no parking and is closed to through traffic from Sixth Street to Eighth Street and Third Street to Sixth Street. ● 16th Street from Massachusetts to New Hampshire streets is closed to through traffic as crews work on a sanitary sewer project. Intermittent closures will occur on 15th Street from Massachusetts to New Hampshire streets.

About .44 mile west of the junction, both eastbound and westbound lanes of U.S. Highway 56 will be closed to all but local traffic. A marked detour will take drivers through Burlingame to Osage City and then back to U.S. Highway 7. The project is expected to be finished in mid-June.

Interstate 70 ● On Monday, the westbound right lane will be closed over the Polk-Quincy Viaduct for cleaning work.

The closure should be from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and drivers should expect minor delays. ● Kansas Turnpike Authority is reconstructing a three-mile stretch of highway just east of Lawrence.

Westar Energy, Inc. and Kansas Gas and Electric Company

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

ON RECOVERY OF COSTS TO BE INCURRED FOR THE LA CYGNE ENVIRONMENTAL RETROFIT Kansas City Power & Light Company (KCP&L) filed a petition with the Kansas Corporation Commission (Commission) for determination of the ratemaking principles and treatment that will apply to recovery in rates of the cost to be incurred by KCP&L for environmental upgrades to its La Cygne Generating Station. Kansas Gas and Electric Company (KGE), a wholly owned subsidiary of Westar Energy, Inc. (Westar Energy) (hereinafter referred to collectively as Westar), has a 50% interest in the La Cygne Generating Station and will be responsible for 50% of the cost of these environmental upgrades.

Public Hearing The Commission has scheduled one public hearing to allow Westar’s customers the opportunity to ask questions and make comments about the proposal: Tuesday, May 10, 2011, 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Kansas Corporation Commission, 1500 SW Arrowhead Rd., Topeka, KS 66604-4027 Or by video conference: WSU Eugene M. Hughes Metro Complex, Sudermann Commons Room, 5015 E. 29th North (entrance C), Wichita, KS 67220 or KansasWorks, 203 N.10th St. (entrance on 10th St.), Salina, KS 67401 Part I of the hearing will be an information session with presentations by the parties, allowing time for questions from the public. Part II will allow the public to make comments on the record to the Commissioners. Westar’s customers unable to attend the public hearing may submit comments to the Commissioners through June 8, 2011. Comments should reference Docket No. 11-KCPE-581-PRE and be emailed to public.affairs@kcc.ks.gov, made over the phone at 1-800-662-0027, or mailed to: Kansas Corporation Commission Office of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, 1500 SW Arrowhead Rd., Topeka, KS 66604-4027. In the event State of Kansas offices in Topeka are closed due to inclement weather, the public hearing may be canceled without further notice.

KCP&L’s Proposal and Effect on Westar’s Customers KCP&L’s petition in this case includes a request for predetermination of ratemaking principles that will apply to the recovery of its portion of the costs to be incurred for the environmental upgrade of its La Cygne power plant. The La Cygne Generating Station is comprised of two coal-fired units. Unit 1 has a net generating capacity of 736 MW and Unit 2 has a net generating capacity of 682 MW. KCP&L is responsible for operating both units. Westar, through KGE, owns 50% of La Cygne and will be responsible for 50% of the cost of the environmental upgrades proposed by KCP&L. In its petition, KCP&L states that significant investment in environmental equipment and a common chimney for both La Cygne units is needed in order to meet current and pending environmental rules and regulations. Westar supports KCP&L’s decision to make this investment in environmental upgrades at La Cygne and supports KCP&L’s request for predetermination. The estimated total cost of these investments is $1.23 billion for the total project excluding Allowance for Funds Used During Construction (AFUDC) and property taxes. Westar will be responsible for $615 million of this amount. If KCP&L’s request for predetermination is approved, Westar will seek to recover its portion of the costs through its Environmental Cost Recovery Rider (ECRR). If the Commission allows Westar to recover these costs through its ECRR, the change to Westar’s ECRR as a result of the proposed environmental upgrades at La Cygne is estimated

by Westar to impact the average residential customer’s bill (use of 10,800 kWh/year) by approximately $0.36/month, gradually increasing to $3.95/month in 2017 and 2018, and then gradually decreasing to about $1.50/month over a 20-year period.

More Information Any person requiring special accommodations at the hearing under the Americans with Disabilities Act needs to provide notice to the KCC at least 10 days prior to the scheduled hearing by calling 1-800-662-0027 or emailing public.affairs@kcc.ks.gov.

A complete copy of KCP&L’s petition and supporting testimony is available on the KCC’s website at: http://estar.kcc.ks.gov/estar/portal/kcc/page/docketdocs/PSC/DocketDetails.aspx?DocketId=29c43954-9a79-46ff-8211-9d45316e6b64.

OPINION

LAWRENCE JOURNAL-WORLD ● LJWorld.com ● Sunday, April 24, 2011

EDITORIALS

Everyone’s issue Raising awareness among young men is an essential part of reducing sexual assaults on college campuses.

T

oo often, sexual assault is seen as a “women’s issue.” On the contrary, when the U.S. Department of Justice reports that 20 percent to 25 percent of women in college say they experienced an attempted or completed rape while in college, it should concern us all.

That’s why it’s encouraging to see a group at Kansas University renewing its efforts to involve young men in the conversation about sexual assault. A panel discussion last week touched on topics such as language choice and risky behaviors. It also urged college men to intervene in potentially harmful situations and be supportive of friends who’ve been victims of sexual violence.

Unfortunately, the audience at the Kansas Union included only about 20 people. It’s a start, but this is an issue that deserves far more attention, especially from young men, who can be either the perpetrators or the victims of sexual abuse.

When a woman reports a sexual assault, the reflexive reaction often is to look at her behavior, whether she had been drinking, whether she had put herself in a risky situation. Regardless of the circumstances, a sexual assault involves at least two people. Men have a responsibility too. That responsibility includes steering clear of risky behaviors that can lead them to make bad decisions. It also means being willing to step in when a situation with someone else starts to get out of hand.

Changing attitudes about sexual assault is particularly important because of the difficulties of seeking legal remedies. Embarrassed victims too often don’t report the assaults and, even when reports are filed, it may be difficult to prosecute a case that relies heavily on conflicting “he said, she said” accounts.

It’s obvious that men play a role in sexual assault; it should be equally obvious that they need to play a role in preventing it. Last week’s event at KU at least got that conversation started.

KC school leader sees need for change KANSAS CITY, MO. — John Covington hesitated before becoming this city’s 26th school superintendent in 40 years. A blunt-talking African-American from Alabama, he attended the Broad Superintendents Academy in Los Angeles, which prepares leaders for urban school districts, and when he asked people there if he should come here, their response, he says, was: “Not ‘no,’ but ‘Hell no!’” He says they suggested that when flying across the country he should take a flight that does not pass through this city’s airspace.

How did this pleasant place become so problematic? Remember the destination of the road paved with good intentions.

This city is just 65 miles down the road from Topeka, Kan., from whence came Brown v. Board of Education, the fuse that lit many ongoing struggles over schools and race. Kansas City has had its share of those struggles, one of which occurred last year when Covington took office with a big bang: He closed 26 of the district’s 61 schools. Kansas City had fewer students but twice as many schools as Pueblo, Colo., where Covington had been superintendent.

Thirty-five years ago Kansas City’s district had 54,000 students. Today it has less than 17,000. Between then and now there was a spectacular confirmation of the axiom that education cannot be improved by simply throwing money at it.

wants to “blur,Covington even erase, the

distinctions between grades K through 12, teaching individual children at whatever level they are learning.”

In the 1980s, after a court held that the city was operating a segregated school system, judicial Caesarism appeared. A judge vowed to improve the district’s racial balance by luring white students to lavish “magnet schools” offering “suburban comparability” and “desegregative attractiveness.” And he ordered tax increases to pay the almost $2 billion bill for, among other things, an Olympic-size swimming pool, a planetarium, vivariums, greenhouses, a model United Nations wired for language translation, radio and television studios, an animation and editing lab, movie editing and screening rooms, a

temperature-controlled art gallery, a 25-acre farm, a 25-acre wildlife area, instruction in cosmetology and robotics, field trips to Mexico and Senegal, and more.

Neither test scores nor the racial gap in academic achievement improved, and racial imbalance increased. Today, AfricanAmericans are 28 percent of the city’s population and 63 percent of public school students. And Covington (“We’re not an employment agency. We are a school district”) has survived the tumultuous process of closing schools. He won the support of a narrow majority on the elected school board. Except for one incumbent board member who ran unopposed, all those candidates in the next election who had opposed the closures were defeated. Now what?

He wants more money, but, in Missouri, 70 percent to 75 percent of dollars for schools are local dollars, and the last increases of Kansas City property taxes were the ones the judge ordered two decades ago. There has been no ballot measure to raise taxes since 1969.

To find what he calls “highly effective” teachers, Covington is seeking help from Teach for America. This year he has 39 of its teachers. For next year, he wants 150 more, which would make them more than 13 percent of his teachers — one of the highest percentages of any district in the nation.

Having the school superintendent appoint most of an elementary school working group doesn’t send the right message.

LAWRENCE

To achieve this, he has $3.2 million from such local philanthropies as the Hall Family Foundation and the Kauffman Foundation.

He wants to abandon “the industrial model” of education, which is anachronistic for children “who come from the womb with a laptop in one hand and a cell phone in the other.” He says if someone who attended Kansas City’s schools in the 1950s were put in a classroom today, the only striking difference would be the ethnic composition of the class.

Covington wants to blur, even erase, the distinctions between grades K through 12, teaching individual children at whatever level they are learning.

He wishes the school day and year were longer, but this would require money, the scarcity of which shapes collective bargaining with the teachers union: “We give them language instead of money.” By language he means work rules. He says the resulting rules mean, for example, that some teachers will not stay five minutes after school for a meeting. “Overall,” he says delicately, “the relationship with teachers is somewhat volatile.”

So, he is asked, is Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker sensible in wanting to confine teachers’ collective bargaining to questions of salaries? Covington: “It makes sense to me.”

PUBLIC FORUM

School process

n Monday, members of the Lawrence school board will consider creating a “working group” to formulate a plan to consolidate six local elementary schools in the next two or three years.

The plan outlined in the board’s online agenda is reasonable, but it includes one provision that may send the wrong message to district patrons.

The proposed working group would have 25 members, including four “stakeholders” from each of the six elementary schools along with an appointed at-large chair. Each school’s site council would recommend seven potential members, the proposal says, and “the superintendent shall appoint three members from these nominations and one at-large member who lives in the attendance area.”

Although board policies allow the superintendent to make such appointments, it would be more appropriate for those choices to be made by the elected board president with the consent of the board. Following that process would help lessen any perception that district administrators already have reached decisions on how the elementary consolidation should go and simply want a working group that will ratify those decisions.

How the appointments are made is a small point and might make little difference in the actual makeup of the working group. Nonetheless, as a matter of perception and process, it seems the district’s elected officials are the ones who should be making those choices.

Best wishes to the royal couple “When the bells ring and tell the world I’m taking your hand / Folks from all over will come and see the wedding we’ve planned.” —The Intruders There is something about a wedding. There is the finery, and the formality, of course, the dress with the long train, the tux with the bowtie that pinches, the speaking your heart and making your promises as everyone you ever knew stands witness.

There is, as well, the sense of ritual, the timelessness of ceremony that traverses and unites generations. Sean and May (he is the son of friends) got married in a Davie, Fla., park a little over a year ago, wreathed in white and hope and looking all of 12 years old. And at some point, reality shimmered, he was me and she was Marilyn, and it was a small chapel in Hollywood, Calif., on a Saturday in June 30 years ago — 30 years ago! — and we were saying our vows, giddy, young and stupid with love.

On Friday, it will be William and Kate’s turn.

Much of the world will be watching, drawn by the promise of finery, formality and ritual on a royal scale. But see, there is something else about a wedding, something that speaks to deeper yearnings. In some sense, a wedding is an act of faith.

Lord knows we could use a few of those just now.

For an increasing number of us, it is conventional wisdom that we are in a time of decline, erosion eating at us like tooth decay.

There is a sense that we have burned down our tomorrows and

married is to “makeTo get a bet on always and

forever. To stay married is a function of will and work, even more than of love. The capacity and willingness to make that bet, to put in that work, to bear down with that will, are slowly disappearing from American life.” left ourselves only yesterdays to look forward to. There is a fear that we must henceforth make peace with lowered skies and diminished expectations.

This is quantified in a 2010 Gallup poll that finds 34 percent of all Americans pessimistic about the nation’s future, more than at any time in the last 30 years. It is also quantified by marriage itself, which is becoming a rarity.

Small wonder. To get married is to make a bet on always and forever. To stay married is a function of will and work, even more than of love. The capacity and willingness to make that bet, to

put in that work, to bear down with that will, are slowly disappearing from American life. Fifty years ago, close to 70 percent of all American adults were married. Now it’s about 54. Britain has seen similar trends. We marry less, we marry later, we make marriage a reality show, we see our cynicism validated by Hollywood marriages that pop like soap bubbles.

A wedding, then, is not just an act of faith, but also one of defiance.

Particularly for someone like William who is, after all, the child of a marriage that began as a fairy tale and ended as a horror story.

Royal obligations aside, one could hardly blame him if he chose to bag the whole idea.

Instead, he will stand in the storied old church, promise himself to someone else and hear the same from her, like a million couples a million times before. There is something in it to gladden the cynical eye and hearten the pessimistic heart. So consider this a toast to the happy couple — and to acts of defiance and faith. Fifty years from now, may it be said that they achieved something that has eluded so many of us for so long we find it hard to believe in it anymore. May it be said they left that place as husband and wife.

And they lived happily ever after.

To the editor: These days, everyone from celebrities to journalists to politicians has an opinion about the “right” way to raise food. Often, their criticism of farmers and ranchers like my husband and myself relates to the environment: People say we aren’t doing our part to protect the planet.

In connection with Earth Day this week, I’d like to offer some food for thought. While these naysayers talk about minimizing impact on the environment, America’s cattle farmers and ranchers get up every day and do it. We care for the land because it’s our full-time job. On average, each cattleman has 13 different practices in place to accomplish environmental goals, such as nurturing wildlife, preventing erosion and conserving and protecting water.

We’re constantly creating new, innovative practices that help us do more with less. Many experts agree U.S. livestock production practices are an environmentally sustainable solution for raising food and should be considered a model for the rest of the world.

The average American farmer feeds about 155 people worldwide, compared to 26 people just a few decades ago. The beef we raise today requires less land, water and energy than before, and each serving provides 10 essential nutrients to your diet. The things we do to protect and enhance the land are unique to where we’re located, but, no matter what climate or geography we live in, we are responsible and care greatly for our cattle and the environment.

Today, and every day, I’d like to extend my appreciation to my fellow Kansas farmers and ranchers, the original environmentalists.

BERSHAWN “BATMAN” JACKSON COMPETES in the men’s 400-meter hurdles. Jackson won the event — remaining undefeated at the Relays — on Saturday at Memorial Stadium.

Holy hurdles, Batman! Jackson wins again

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Olympic bronze medalist/Kansas Relays fan favorite Bershawn “Batman” Jackson — who missed KU’s spring carnival last year — returned in a blaze of glory Saturday.

Sporting a new Batman tattoo on his upper back, the 5-foot-8, 160-pound dynamo breezed to his sixth Relays 400 hurdles title.

Battling a stiff wind to start the race, he cruised over the final

three hurdles down the backstretch and finished in a time of 48.98, just off his Relays-record time of 48.32, set in 2008.

After crossing the tape ahead of Justin Gaymon (50.28) and Johnny Dutch (50.96), he spoke to an adoring crowd of about 3,000 fans.

“Because of you, it’s me,” exclaimed the 27-year-old Jackson, who credits the Kansas Relays for jump-starting his career.

“It all started for me here. My first exposure was the Kansas Relays. It’s the first meet that put

me on the radar,” added the Miami native, who last year won his thirdstraight U.S. championship. “I love Kansas. I’m always welcomed here with open arms.”

He loves Kansas so much, he felt some pressure trying to extend his Relays 400 hurdles record to six wins without a loss.

“I was really nervous,” Jackson said. “I tried to keep my composure. I never took a loss here. I want to keep it that way until I retire.”

Also adding to his jitters, “It was

my season opener,” he said, noting it was an unusually cold, wet winter in Raleigh, N.C., where he lives and trains.

His ultimate goal is to win the gold medal in 2012 in London after placing third in Beijing in 2008.

“I can win the gold,” Jackson said. “I am excited. I love competing.”

City preps tickled with Relays showing

By Ben Ward Journal-World Sports Writer

Though it was more than a few years ago, Free State High track and field coach Steve Heffernan remembers how his Firebirds would always seem to struggle at the Kansas Relays.

Heffernan’s teams would be able to rebound in time for the state championships, but the lackluster showings at the Relays always left something to be desired.

It was a much different feeling for Heffernan after Free State’s performance at the Relays on Saturday afternoon at Memorial Field.

“It’s a whole lot better feeling when you come in and have a good performance,” Heffernan said.

“You can build off of that instead of feeling like you have to come from behind (at the end of the year).”

Freshman Alexa HarmonThomas finished third in the 100 hurdles (14.61) and seventh in the

Heffernan was especially impressed with the performance of junior Lynn Robinson, calling her a unique combination of talent and speed.

Robinson helped the FSHS girls 4x880 relay team (with Bailey Sullivan, Hayley Francis, and Rachel Schaffer) to an 11th-place finish at 9:57.00 and also finished 15th in the 1,600 with a time of 5:20.42.

“A year ago we couldn’t convince her to run the mile, and now I don’t think she’d let us pull her out of it,” Heffernan said.

Like Heffernan, LHS coach Jack Hood recalled some rough performances at the Relays, including an underwhelming event last year.

Nick Krug/Journal-World Photo “It’s such a high-pressure thing LAWRENCE HIGH’S ASAPH JEWSOME, LEFT, waits for the baton from for the kids,” Hood said. “It either teammate Chris Gaston in the Sunflower Showdown 4X100 relay. makes them or melts them.

The Lions placed sixth Saturday.

After his team scored a run in the bottom of the first inning against No. 4 Texas, Kansas University coach Ritch Price turned to pitching coach Ryan Graves in the dugout.

“Now, just shut them out,” Price said jokingly.

KU’s pitchers came close enough.

After allowing 18 runs in the first two games of the series, four KU pitchers held UT to just two runs in a 4-2 victory Saturday afternoon at Hoglund Ballpark.

2 That included 3 ⁄3 innings from relievers Scott Heitshusen, Wally Marciel and Colton Murray, who combined to allow no runs and also no hits with just two walks.

“They were outstanding,” Price said. “Each one of those guys came in with somebody on base and found a way to get out of the inning. Once you have the lead, you’ve got to stop the momentum from (going) back in that dugout, and I thought our bullpen did that.”

Tanner Poppe picked up the win, allowing two earned runs 1 and seven hits in 5 ⁄3 innings.

The right-hander benefited from a slight adjustment made during a bullpen session Wednesday.

From looking at f ilm of Poppe’s last start against Missouri, Graves had noticed that the sophomore was flying open too soon, which caused his pitches to dive away from their intended location.

Poppe worked with Graves to stay closed with his front shoulder, and Poppe noticed a sharper break on his breaking ball because of the switch.

“I was really proud of him,” Price said of Poppe. “He got into trouble, and when he did, he got out of trouble and made some big pitches with runners in scoring position.”

Brandon Macias started KU’s offense in the first with a towering home run to left field — his second homer of the year.

It was the Jayhawks’ first leadoff shot since the 2009 season.

“They’ve got a great pitching staff, probably one of the best in the nation. They’re not used to guys coming out and swinging like that,” KU designated hitter Jake Marasco said. “When he did that on the third pitch of the game, it just sets the tone.”

The Jayhawks added two runs in the fourth without an RBI. With runners at second and third and one out, Texas reliever Please see BASEBALL, page 3B

St. Louis senior wins Ryun Mile

By Ben Ward Journal-World Sports Writer

Last year at the Kansas Relays, the finish line was in sight for Daniel Everett with only 100 meters remaining in the Jim Ryun Mile.

But as Everett slowed, three others passed him and left him settling for fourth place.

Everett, now a senior at Westminster High School in St. Louis, wasn’t to be denied this year. He cruised to a victory with a brisk time of 4:12.58 on Saturday at the Relays.

“I had a little left in me, and I had to hold on,” Everett said.

Everett also got a boost from his twin brother, David, who ran and placed first in the section of the mile beforehand and ended up finishing in seventh place overall at 4:21.07.

“Right before the start of my race, (David) told me,

‘Now it’s your turn,’” Everett said.

Everett raised his arms in celebration after crossing the finish line before leaping into his brother’s arms. The next few minutes were a blur.

“Next thing I’m getting shuttled over for a live interview on Flotrack, then Jim Ryun was waiting for me,” Everett said. “It was insane.”

Everett said he normally runs the 3,200, but decided to sit out a few events Friday, including the 3,200, to stay fresh for Saturday’s event.

“I had to have a good race because of that,” he said.

Now Everett, who will attend Columbia University (N.Y.) in the fall, aims to make an early trip to the city; he hopes to earn an invite to the adidas Grand Prix on June 11.

To do so, he said he likely will need some ideal weather and will have to trim two seconds off his mile time.

Thunder 97, Nuggets 94 D E N V E R — Transforming from a shot-blocker into a shot-maker, Serge Ibaka tied his career high with 22 points and sparked the Oklahoma City Thunder’s win over the Denver Nuggets on Saturday night that gave them a 3-0 lead in their best-of-7 playoff series.

Ibaka, a second-year pro from the Congo who led the league with 198 blocks during the regular season, gave the Thunder a third dimension on offense to go with All-Stars Kevin Durant (26 points) and Russell Westbrook (23).

Not even the return of Arron Afflalo (13 points) from a troublesome hamstring injury or bounce-back performances from J.R. Smith (15 points) and Chris “Birdman” Andersen (13) could keep the Nuggets from falling to 0-5 against Oklahoma City this month and inching closer to elimination.

Game 4 will take place Monday night at the Pepsi Center, with Denver needing a victory to avoid a sweep and elimination.

OKLAHOMA CITY (97) Durant 7-22 9-12 26, Ibaka 6-13 10-10 22, Perkins 1-2 0-0 2, Westbrook 6-15 11-13 23, Sefolosha 2-6 0-0 4, Collison 2-3 1-2 5, Harden 38 2-4 10, Mohammed 1-3 0-2 2, Maynor 0-3 0-0 0, Cook 1-5 0-0 3. Totals 29-80 33-43 97.

Enlist son-in-law to help mentally ill daughter Dear Annie: Last summer, my 23-year-old daughter, her husband and their 2-year-old son moved in with me. My husband and I wanted to help them get back on their feet, and we also wanted my daughter to go back to school.

My daughter has some mental health issues. The last time they lived with us, she had a tantrum and called my ex-husband to pick them up and drive them to another state. We told her we would not tolerate such behavior this time. She returned to school and will graduate soon. Her husband is working, and everything seemed fine until yesterday.

She went off again, accusing me of everything under the sun and calling me names that are not printable. She said she hates me and that I dumped her and her siblings when they were little. (I left them with my parents for six months after the divorce so I could start a job in another state.)

At the moment, she is no longer speaking to me, and they are moving into their own place next week. My heart is breaking because she won’t let me see my grandson.

She says she is bipolar and takes an antidepressant, but won’t go to the doctor. I have no idea if she is truly sick, but

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Protective Mom,” who thinks every man in the family is going to abuse her 6month-old baby girl. I am upset that you didn’t put her

Hallmark movie tackles gritty urban life Emily VanCamp (“Everwood”) stars in the network Hallmark presentation “Beyond the Blackboard” (8 p.m., CBS).

VanCamp portrays an overwhelmed rookie teacher assigned to teach a group of homeless children in a makeshift classroom in an underfunded shelter. Look for Timothy Busfield (“thirtysomething”) as an indifferent bureaucrat. VanCamp’s “Everwood” co-star Treat Williams also stars.

Hallmark movies generally extol a fantasy view of rural life, so it’s always interesting when they take place in a grim urban setting. Except such grimness usually gives way to sunshine with the application of a little paint and the sunshine disposition of a plucky girl. ● “Treme” (9 p.m., HBO) opens its second season a year after Hurricane Katrina, as national attention and concern for New Orleans begins to fade and outside developers begin bargain hunting in distressed districts. This beautifully shot and wellacted series requires a little patience from viewers willing to marinate in the Crescent City atmosphere.

In other HBO news, the premium network has already renewed “Game of Thrones” (8 p.m.) for a second season.

The ultra-violent and utterly humorless head-scratcher apparently has a cult audience. Tonight, Daenerys learns to please her grim groom. ● Speaking of grooms, TLC devotes much of the coming week to Friday’s much-ballyhooed royal wedding. It’s a perfect match for TLC, a network seemingly obsessed with dresses, cakes and cupcakes. Just short of having Jon Gosselin interred in Westminster Abbey, they’ve pulled out all the stops with such programming as “Charles & Di: Once Upon a Time” (7 p.m.); “Untold Stories of a Royal Bridesmaid” (8 p.m.); and “Royally Astounding: 30 Defining Days of Monarchy” (9 p.m.). The last covers the Monarchy over the past 30 years. ● Folks who didn’t catch “The Kennedys” the first time can catch it when it runs on Reelz (8 p.m.) every night this week.

Tonight’s other highlights ● Scheduled on “60 Minutes” (6 p.m., CBS): a rare look at life in a monastery in Mt. Athos, Greece, a place largely unchanged over the centuries. ● Homer saves the day and the world in the 2007 feature-length “Simpsons Movie” (7 p.m., Fox). ● A best-of “South Park” (8 p.m. to midnight, Comedy Central) marathon unspools. ● The three-part revival of “Upstairs Downstairs” concludes on “Masterpiece Mystery” (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings). ● Justin keeps a secret on “Brothers and Sisters” (9 p.m., ABC). ● Rosie’s teacher offers a new clue on “The Killing” (9 p.m., AMC). ● Lucrezia strays on “The Borgias” (9 p.m., Showtime).

Cult choice TCM celebrates Easter ’70s-style with two period musicals, “Jesus Christ Superstar” (7 p.m.) and “Godspell” (9 p.m.), both from 1973. Look for Victor Garber (“Titanic”) in “Godspell.”

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Sunday, April 24: This year, curb a tendency to be obstinate. This trait could prevent you from creating more of what you want and achieving greater success. If you are single, you could meet someone from work or while networking. If you are attached, the two of you benefit from time alone. Aquarius makes a good friend, but you will butt heads.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You'll Have: 5Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) ★★★★ Look at what is going on in your immediate circle. Join in as an important adventure or project materializes. As usual, when dealing with many people, there are some conflicts. Tonight: And the party goes on.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ★★★★ You are full of energy and vitality. As a result, you can take a stand or assume the lead.

Tonight: A must appearance.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ★★★★★ Break from your routine, whether it is physically, emotionally or intellectually. Choose to have a new experience.

jacquelinebigar.com

Tonight: Continue sampling other styles.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ★★★★ Work as a duo; play as a duo — though you might choose a different person to play with.

What you need is variety in your life — all one way or the other most likely won't work. Tonight: Dinner for two — naturally!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★★ You might want to rethink a matter in a different vein. Your ability to understand others and get to the bottom of an issue is valued. Tonight: Carrying on again?

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★ Work on the quality of your life, incorporating a friend, loved one or partner into it more often.

Don't be a stick in the mud.

Tonight: Act as if it is the beginning of the weekend.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ★★★★★ Sometimes mischief nearly becomes your middle name. You can be very conventional as a sign; however, much encourages you to act out or be more fun. Tonight: Live as if there is no tomorrow.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★ Work with a family member or roommate. You know you cannot see eye to eye all the

time. Make it OK to not feel at ease as you talk through an issue. Tonight: Go for a walk, a good meal or any other relaxing activity.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21) ★★★★ Communicate your feelings, even if you might find it a touch difficult to express them.

This discomfort actually is normal. Tonight: Make the most of the moment.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★ Use your innate wisdom well with finances.

An unexpected event or insight could cause some unnecessary spending.

Tonight: Your treat.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★ Whatever you do appears to gain approval from those you value. On the other hand, wild impulsiveness could be fun, yet it might not be appropriate.

Tonight: As you like it.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★ Know when you need to pull back and let others dominate. In fact, what you might desire is some time to yourself.

Make it OK to ask for just that and nothing else.

Tonight: Make it easy.

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -WORLD

Humane Society hopes you’ll give ‘kit-teens’ a good home T

hey have wonderful names like Alfonse and Bongo, Boo-hoo and Hephestus, Noir and even Mowgli.

It wasn’t anything they said or did that brought them here. Some were strays, some caused allergies in their previous homes, and some were dropped off without a word.

What they all have in common is that they’re “kitteens” — young cats, aged 5 to 12 months, who are partially into their adult bodies but no longer the little fluffballs they were at six or eight weeks.

They’ve been with us for many months, but they still haven’t found their forever homes.

It’s hard to be the “middle kid” — neither the brand-new kitten nor the older, more learned one.

They still have so much kitten energy, but they look all grown-up and ready to settle down.

They don’t understand why they’re being overlooked, or why their youthful energy is being spent in a kennel. They like batting over catnip toys, and given the opportunity, they’d gladly chase a paper wad down a hallway, or dabble in their water dish until it had sprayed all around the bowl, or make tiny noises at the birds in the feeder outside a bright, sunny window.

But instead, they peer out the bars of the kennels, watching hopefully as each visitor passes them by in the search for someone younger,

or someone older.

We at the Lawrence Humane Society decided to do something to help them, but we need you to help us, too.

Throughout April, we have been offering a kit-teen special: For any kitten aged 5 months to one year, we’ve lowered the adoption price to $20. Considering this includes the spay/neuter fee, it’s an incredible deal. All you need to offer in return is an open heart, a lot of love and a promise that the kitten or kittens of your choice will be well-cared for by you and your veterinarian.

Why now?

Because it’s spring. And we all know where young men’s fancies turn when the weather warms up. It works on people, and it’s the same with felines.

In other words, we’re gearing up for our annual bumper crop of kittens to come through our doors. We already know we’re going to need room.

Each spring, our staff is inundated with litters created by people who won’t get their pets spayed or

neutered, by mother felines who abandon their litters, or even just one or two of their kittens and by feral cats whose litters are caught and brought to us.

As soon as each of those kittens is weaned, we’re going to need a place to put them so our visitors can see them to their best advantage.

And of course, the fact is, we want every one of those animals in our care to eventually have a good home.

I can personally testify to the fun a kit-teen brings. My Deena was just about a year old when I brought her home and aside from the fact that she was charming anyway, I fell in love with her energy. She hopped and ran, batted and jumped, chattered and stalked and when she was done, she knew exactly where to come for a snuggle and an ear in which to put her tiny, cold purring nose.

To this day, she’s still my cuddliest cat (although Charlie now vies for that position as well).

On behalf of Teasdale and Liam, Kwan Yin, Hero, Drake, Domino and Darius, we’d like to ask whether you have room for four more feet in your home. The price is low, but the love is priceless.

Please visit us before April 30 to help them out at this special price. You can always see who’s available by checking http://www. lawrencehumane.org/adoption/cats.shtml. Each animal has a link to his or her own page on Petfinder.com, so

gay kid to a gay adult.”

The political pendulum is swinging toward equality, Savage says. It is taking a long time, but he says the notion that nothing has changed at all for the betterment of LGBT rights is untrue. He brings up other once rampant social injustices like the mistreatment of women and slavery and other groups to illustrate his point.

Lawrence resident Chad Foster attended the speech and said he appreciated the presentation. He said it reinforced his attitudes about life in general.

“I enjoy hearing Dan Savage’s messages,” Foster says, “and this particular project of his is really inspiring. I’ve not read his book yet, so I enjoyed hearing some of the stories from it.”

Foster said the event was particularly important to him because of issues in his own personal life.

“I’m here with a friend of mine whose child has just come out as transgender, and I’m helping him create an environment that helps

kids like his. It’s awesome to come here with a straight friend of mine who has an at-risk kid.”

Carolina Rodriguez, a Kansas University senior, said she thought the event was salient due to deaths caused by bullying and misunderstanding.

“I guess the important part is what he said at the very end,” she says, “how it’s easier for a child to put a gun to a head, or kill themselves rather than being straight. It’s not a choice. I think that part stuck with me the most.

“I’m not gay, but I understand the struggles people face. I think it was great to be in a room full of people here for the same message — we all want to support communities that are being ostracized.”

‘Bossypants’ a delight Comedian Tina Fey’s new memoir disarmingly funny and perceptive

By Karen Heller The Philadelphia Inquirer

Aaron Steinert, Cork and Barrel employee, Lawrence “’Rant’ by Chuck Palahniuk.

It’s about time travel and it’s pretty confusing.”

Craig Klotz, electronic technician, Lawrence “’Bluebeard’ by Kurt Vonnegut. It’s about an artist who’s a hermit and has a potato barn all locked up. It asks, ‘What is art?’”

Mary Nichols, retired licensed practical nurse, Lawrence “’The Bible,’ the King James version. It’s a love story, it’s history. It lets your life be easier if you live it.”

Ethan Kay, Veritas 12th-grader, Lawrence “’The Screwtape Letters’ by C.S. Lewis. It’s written from the devil’s perspective to another demon, instructing him.”

Anne Regel, graduate student, Lawrence “’Mallory’s Oracle’ by Carol O’Connell. It’s basically about a girl who’s a sociopath trying to solve her foster parents’ murder.”

3C

Philadelphia is a funny place. Funny food, bizarre accent, absurd politicians.

Logically, this region should produce far more funny people. We shouldn’t have to go decades between Bill Cosby and Tina Fey, though the comic sage from Upper Darby, Pa., was certainly worth the wait.

“Bossypants” is her delightful memoirish book, more a buffet of funny essays and apercus about her life (her mother is strangely absent).

A friend of mine maintains a list, more a catalog of war crimes, of Women Who Are Not Helping — overachievers who do so much so well they end up shaming the rest of us — and I’m inclined to put Fey up there with Amy Chua and Cokie Roberts, even if she claims “I don’t drive. I can’t cook meat correctly. And I have no affinity for animals.”

I thought about whether Fey was not helping after reading the chapter about her weekend — not week, mind you — where she filmed “30 Rock” with Oprah, appeared as Sarah Palin on “Saturday Night Live,” and hosted a Peter Pan-themed birthday party for her young daughter.

(By the way, Palin later offered to have Bristol babysit Alice. Who has stories like that? You make fun of someone and she still volunteers her daughter to help?)

But I can’t put Fey in this group because she’s too disarmingly funny and self-deprecating about all aspects of her life. “By the way, when Oprah Winfrey is suggesting you may have overextended yourself, you need to examine your (expletive) life.”

After fretting in the last chapter about whether to have a second child, Fey’s now having that second child and still running a show that employs

200 people and garners a gazillion awards.

Fey possesses a pitch-perfect ear and timing in her writing. There are many things you might complain have gotten worse, but sitcoms are not one of them. “30 Rock” is brilliant, providing a welcoming neighborhood for the sparkling, infectious “Community” and “Parks and Recreation.” The scripts are performed at such breakneck speed as to regularly merit a second watching, or third. In “Bossypants,” Fey gives generous, repeated credit to the genius of Alec Baldwin and the writing crew but, hey, she’s the one who assembled the team.

As for Upper Darby, Fey reveals that “I had grown up as the ‘whitest’ girl in a very Greek neighborhood” and “What Wales is to crooners, my hometown may be to homosexuals — meaning there seems to be a disproportionate number of them and they are the best in the world!” Fey loves the gays. In high school, “I was filled with a poisonous, pointless teenage jealousy, which, when combined with gay cattiness, can be intoxicating.

Like mean meth.”

My only beefs with the book — and Fey loves beef, the junkier the better — is that there’s an aw-shucks approach about her talent and deserved success, like it just sort of happened through dumb luck. It’s the Meryl Streep effect. And I’m not buying Fey’s version, either.

Consequently, Fey comes off as the opposite of bossypants, though, when maligned, she has a snide side, unleashing the mean meth.

Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — It’s telling that the title of Marcia Clark’s murder-mystery debut is smaller than her name on the novel’s cover. Clark is best known as the lead prosecutor in the media circus known as the O.J. Simpson murder trial.

She’s less recognized as an author, even though her 1998 book about the case, “Without a Doubt,” spent nine weeks on the New York Times bestseller list.

Co-writing a book about one of the most notorious trials of the last century “didn’t have much leeway. I had a story that had to be told, and the facts were there,” Clark said.

Penning “Guilt by Association,” out April 20, was a lot easier and more “joyful” for the former Los Angeles deputy district attorney, who resigned in 1997 and now does court-appointed appellate work and appears as a special correspondent for “Entertainment Tonight.”

She’s been working on her debut novel since 2006.

Most bestselling authors would agree: One chart-topping book is no guarantee that the follow-up will do as well, especially when the genre is as radically different as it is with “Guilt by Association.” The story follows fictional L.A. Deputy D.A.

Rachel Knight as she attempts to solve the murder of a colleague and the rape of a Pacific Palisades high school Clark student. It’s “a beach read,” according to Clark.

Knight is a sassy, single, middle-aged brunette — an underpaid workaholic who believes in justice but disdains authority. Jaded and occasionally self-indulgent, she’s more than a little like Clark.

“There’s a lot of me in there,” admitted Clark, laughing between sips of iced tea at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel, where her literary alter ego resides in the novel.

“A lot of the bad stuff.”

Now 57, Clark looks and acts far younger than her years. Gone is the wavy hairdo that was analyzed almost daily during the nine-month Simpson trial. In its place is a sleek brown bob. Instead of the stress and chain smoking are an easy smile and a warm demeanor that belies the bulldog nature she demonstrated in her attempts to convict Simpson in the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman in 1994.

“Rachel’s attitude is probably me. She’s compulsive,

‘DreamTime’ She lies down at night, hoping to find again That which was lost.

She dreams of carnivals and festivals, Conferences and college campuses Open fields and cityscapes.

Places she’s been, places that seem familiar, places That once held meaning, gave her purpose, served as her Identity.

Now combined in memory Emotions long suppressed take forms that wear her down, Cause her to wonder about her own wickedness, Since she rarely seems to get any rest.

Her fears about the present trailing behind unfinished business Wrapped in dreams of the past, it’s always the same, Always looking for: Some One who can explain, Some Object that will replace, Some Place where she can Finally Rest.

Always looking for The end of her story.

— Marilyn Roy, Lawrence

TINA FEY APPEARS onstage at “The ComedyAwards” presented by Comedy Central March 26 in NewYork. Her new book, “Bossypants,” is a collection of autobiographical essays. stunning success even more remarkable. Fey credits her makeup artist with the line “bitch is the new black,” her inspired “SNL” defense of Hillary Clinton. Bill and Hillary phoned separately the next day to thank her, but Fey claims that she isn’t a political animal, though the book is studded with caustic asides about Republicans: “I think it’s more powerful for comedians and news anchors to be impartial, and two: I am a coward.”

Also, I tired of her constant put-downs about her looks (“my thick virgin eyebrows”) while praising the miracle of Photoshop, something Jerry

Seinfeld doesn’t do, and he’s never been on the cover of Vogue. Perhaps she’s still recovering from a criminally bad childhood haircut, photo documentation included, but get over it. In this regard, Fey is sequestering herself in the Diller/Rivers/Griffin ugly gulag, and she’s an improvement and more modern in every regard.

Besides, I’ve interviewed Fey, and she’s lovely and adorable.

I imagine this “Who me?” adorableness is part of Fey’s plan for total world domination. Many of us are already happily conquered.

O.J. Simpson prosecutor Marcia Clark metes out justice in new murder-mystery

obsessive, dedicated and driven. I think I’m that kind of hockey puck,” Clark said, bursting into a laugh.

Clark never intended to incorporate so much of herself into her lead character, but after writing draft after draft of various books and showing them to friends and agents, she was confronted with the criticism that Rachel Knight, who works the same job as Clark did in the L.A. D.A.’s special trials unit, was an unreal “cream puff.”

Showing the same dedication to writing as she demonstrated with trial work, Clark spent years experimenting.

Decades of reading murdermysteries was little preparation for the trial and error of fiction writing as she switched between the first- and thirdperson points of view and worked with various plots, only to finally find the voice and story line for “Guilt by Association” — the first of a two-book deal with Little, Brown’s Mulholland Books imprint. The follow-up, tentatively titled “Guilt by Degrees,” will be out next spring.

“The writing process probably could have been easier than I made it,” she said of writing the novel. “But you know, that’s not my way. I’ve heard many authors say that they put in five to six hours a day and then knock off for the day. That didn’t work for me.

I needed to write nonstop

until I got to the end. So I plunked myself down in front of the computer every single day and stayed there for as long as possible — sometimes 10 hours at a stretch, till I was cross-eyed and my shoulders were permanently wedged up against my ears.

It’s kind of a kamikaze approach to writing, but it helped to keep me inside the story and the characters.”

The specific scenarios and characters in the book are entirely fictional, Clark says.

Still, her personal legal experience lends the plots and personalities legitimacy and provides intriguing insights into the inner workings of the judicial system and the importance of personal relationships in getting things done.

There are unintentional echoes of the Simpson trial in “Guilt by Association.” The murder in the book has sexual undertones, and there’s an air of racism to the rape, which involves members of Latino and white supremacist gangs.

“There are certain umbrella truths that are ever present in trials not just in L.A. but across the country,” Clark said. “Does race factor in?

Sure. Gender bias? Absolutely. In my opinion, gender bias is a bigger problem than race.”

Clark speaks from experience. She was the f irst woman to serve in the special trials unit in L.A.’s district attorney’s office in the ’90s.

Lawrence resident writes first novel in post-apocalyptic setting

By Sarah Aylward Special to the Journal-World

Writing about the apocalypse is nothing new. But while many authors focus on the events and circumstances that lead up to the world’s end, less time is spent on what happens next.

For local author Nate Poell, the idea of a post-apocalyptic world was enough to inspire his debut novel, “Post-Apocalypse Dead Letter Office.”

Poell’s novel focuses on what would happen to society after an apocalypse. How would we survive? How would we communicate?

How would humans deal with the sudden and catastrophic changes to their lives?

“I thought it would be better to get a variety of ground-level perspectives on the world itself and create a mosaic of sorts,” Poell says.

To do this, he arranged his book as a collection of unreceived letters written before the world ends. The collection of letters encompassed in the novel begin at the end of the story and work backward, chronicling the stories of the survivors and the deceased. But much is left to the reader’s imagination.

The letters also tell the story

of “the mysterious event that sends the world back to a technologically pre-industrial age,” Poell says. The novel does not merely unfold for the reader; rather, the mystery continues throughout the book.

“Just because a letter wasn’t delivered doesn’t mean the intended recipient is dead. I’d like for readers to think about what could have happened to them, and to the world itself, and generate their own ideas about what might have happened,” Poell says. Throughout the book, he has included clues and one or two red herrings as to what happened to some of the characters.

In Poell’s post-apocalyptic

world much has changed, but many tenets of society remain. Of those remaining, many are stronger after having been broken down and rebuilt when necessity demanded sustainability and organization.

“As far as the world in which the book takes place, it changed overnight — no gas, no electricity, and hence no Internet or telecommunications, no new paper, no mass media of any type,” Poell says.

Essentially, the book describes survival in its most primitive state.

“Think about slamming into a world like that,” Poell says. “Think about the way you would react to that, the way an entire civilization would react to that. Who gets blamed for that change, when there is pretty much no way of knowing how that change happened?”

Perhaps one of the most fascinating aspects of the novel is its online presence.

A member of the online community on the website MetaFilter, Poell asked people to transcribe letters on whatever materials they deemed appropriate to exist post-apocalypse via the site’s mail art group. Since new paper would not be available after a catastrophic event, transcribers used

scrap paper, chipboard, cardstock or any other material that could potentially be found and put to use in the world encompassed within the novel.

The result of these transcriptions is a collection of creative letters, which are also part found object art. In one instance, the transcription of the letter appears on a microwaveable macaroni box, held together by bandages. Other letters are written right over leftover magazine pages, or on the insides of cereal boxes. One letter includes plastic glasses with colored frames, which are said to reveal secret information within the message.

Poell has previously published poetry in Kansas University’s Kiosk, and several nonfiction pieces with Mother Earth News and Brew Your Own. Though unrelated to his debut novel, available through The Raven Book Store, 6 E. Seventh St., Poell is close to finishing a second novel draft, developing two additional novel ideas and a nonfiction book in collaboration with others. All this writing takes awhile, says Poell, because he has a great job and works with great people. “I don’t think I could give that up.”

LAWRENCE’S DEB YAGER USES NEWSPAPERS covered with cotton burr mulch to help keep the weeds at bay. Unlike conventional weed barriers, newspapers can be easily dug through or moved if a gardener wants to make changes to his or her space.

NEW USE FOR NEWSPRINT

U

sing newspapers in the garden may be common for experienced gardeners, but it appears to be a littleknown secret to those just picking up gardening as a hobby. Old newspapers can suppress weeds and provide many of the same benefits as mulch.

Lawrence resident Deb Yager is one resident who praises the use of recycling newspapers into the garden.

Yager and her husband employed old papers to create an entirely new landscape bed four years ago. The area was lawn, and the Yagers simply covered the grass with wet newspaper and compost one autumn.

The following spring, they were ready to plant flowers and shrubs.

Besides killing off the grass for new garden areas, Yager uses newspapers on an annual basis for weed suppression.

“I just did that yesterday before I put down my cotton burr mulch,” Yager admits. “It

is not a forever resolution for weeds, but it’s so inexpensive and easy to do that it just makes sense.”

Yager notes that decaying newspapers are also easy to dig through if you decide you want to plant something new.

Commercially available weed barriers, on the other hand, can be quite problematic when making changes to the garden.

Cloth and synthetic weed barriers can also inhibit air and water movement within the soil. They are only recommended for use with patios and walkways.

When using newspapers in the garden, Yager recommends wetting them down first. “I used to unfold the newspaper and lay it open. Now I’ve learned just to keep the newspaper folded and use the extra thickness as a longer term barrier.”

Calm days are also better than windy ones for newspaper application.

Although Yager is not a vegetable gardener, newspaper can also have good use in a food garden. Many gardeners lay newspaper down between the rows or shred it for use as mulch. I always recommend covering newspaper with straw, compost, wood chips, or some other kind of organic mulch to keep it from blowing away and help with the decomposition process.

Yager also mentions that she does not use the glossy color inserts because she is unsure about the safety. This is a question I often hear, and Yager’s preference to recycle these pages in a recycle bin is a good

idea. The inks used for the glossy inserts may be different than those used on the regular newspaper pages. Coated papers also take much longer to break down than the regular pages.

Rest assured on the safety of regular newsprint, though. The Lawrence Journal-World uses only soy-based inks.

Another bit of good news is that at least one research study has proven newspapers to be effective in suppressing weeds.

Penn State University compared shredded newspaper, sheets of newspaper, and straw in organic vegetable production in 2005 and 2006. Shredded newspaper proved most effective of the three. In the end, sheets were recommended over shredded paper for cost-effectiveness and time.

Also on the research side, I came across one study about inks that was especially helpful.

Ohio State University’s “The Safety of Newsprint Bedding” clearly explains toxicity concerns. The study’s purpose was

to determine safety for animal bedding but information in the study is still applicable to garden safety.

According to the Ohio State fact sheet, primary risks of toxicity from inks are through dermal contact, inhalation, or ingestion. Dermal contact and inhalation are taken out of the mix once the inks are dry.

Ohio State researchers then note that “Ingestion of inks used on newsprint has not been an issue because the ingredients used in the inks are not considered toxic in either the liquid or dry state.”

Again, use of glossy color inserts is not recommended.

I hope you will now do one of two things: cut this exciting bit of news out of the paper and save it for future reference, or recycle it. And, it seems only fitting to recycle it into the garden.

Kovel’s Antiques: Bunnies and Easter go back 500 years

By Terry Kovel

Easter bunnies are older than you think.

They were part of preChristian fertility stories, and since rabbits are known to have many, many babies, they are symbols of new life in the spring.

They first became the symbol of Easter in Germany in the 1500s.

But it took until the 1800s before edible Easter bunnies in the form of sugared pastries became part of the celebration.

The bunny came to America with some settlers from Germany who immigrated to Pennsylvania in the 1700s.

The “Oschter Haws”

(Easter Bunny) was popular with children who were told that if they were good, they would find a nest of colored eggs left by the bunny.

The children made a nest in the house or yard using a hat and hoped for some eggs. The nest later became an Easter basket.

Easter celebrations in the 19th century, especially in Germany, included all sorts of rabbits and bunnies.

can be traced back to 1894, when Barzilla L. Marble (1851-1932) founded a chairmanufacturing business in Bedford, Ohio. It made household chairs until 1910, then started manufacturing office furniture, including chairs.

The company closed in 1985. B.L. Marble office chairs sell for $25 to $200, depending on age and condition.

Q: I have a small watercolor of a village market in a landscape that I bought in 1992. It is by Edward Dobrotka, who is a listed artist. He is best remembered today as an “inker” for the Superman comics

and several other early comic books. Do collectors of comic books care about anything but the original comic strips, or would they want to buy a painting by one of the comic artists?

Dobrotka is not a major name among comic book artists and a landscape is not closely related to the look of a strip.

Your painting will not bring a higher price because of the comic connection.

Perhaps the only comic artist today whose art is wanted by comic book collectors is Frank Frazetta (1928-2010), who drew important fantasy comics, posters and other art.

THIS 6-INCHTALL RABBIT CAN “walk” across the floor. The furcovered clockwork toy has glass eyes, wears a felt dress and carries a wicker basket.

It was made in Germany, probably about 1900, and sold for $633 at an auction in Vineland, N.J. Cowles Syndicate
