The very hungry caterpillars: KU woods swarmed A CATERPILLAR EATS A LEAF from a hackberry tree Friday in the Fitch Natural History Reservation.

Tens of thousands of caterpillars in the woodlands will soon turn into Hackberry Emperor butterflies.

Large number could eventually turn into ‘tornado of butterflies’

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

At first, Mark Robbins thought he heard a gentle rain as he walked through the Kansas University Fitch Natural History Reservation.

Robbins, the ornithology collection manager at KU, was looking for birds in the predawn darkness of the woodlands, which sit several

miles north of Lawrence.

As the sun rose, Robbins noticed the barren branches of the hackberries. While the rest of the trees in the woods looked as though it was mid-June, the hackberries had no leaves.

Then he spotted caterpillars — tens of thousands of them. He quickly realized that soft gentle rain he thought he heard was actually the sound of thousands of caterpillars defecating.

“I have never seen anything like this,” Robbins said.

The caterpillars that Robbins spotted munching on hackberries this week will soon turn into Hackberry Emperor butterflies, a midsized butterfly with subdued brown and gray coloring.

The arrival of caterpillars in late spring — even in such large numbers — isn’t rare. But Robbins, who has

been walking the woodlands for close to two decades, has never seen so many of them so early.

“It’s very extraordinary,” Robbins said.

While the sight and sound of thousands of caterpillars is amazing enough, Robbins predicts a “quiet bedlam” when they become butterflies.

R.J. McDonald picks up a full tube of lithium grease and says this is going to make somebody’s day.

That stuff is expensive, you know — unless you’re shopping here. Today, lithium grease is free. Same for a whole gallon container of Brasso cleaner, although McDonald doesn’t think that is worth advertising.

“If you have ever been on the business end of Brasso, you wouldn’t be so excited,” he tells a fellow shopper.

Baldwin High student’s ‘Google doodle’ best in state

By Elvyn Jones ejones@theworldco.com

Baldwin High School senior Tucker Brown successfully went back to the Stone Age in his search for inspiration to create a logo for a hightech company.

At an assembly Wednesday at Baldwin High School, representatives of Google, the company known best for its Internet search engine, announced Tucker was the state winner of its Doodle 4 Google competition.

This year, 114,000 kin-

Stormy

dergarten through 12thgrade students entered the nationwide contest to design a Google logo on the theme “If I could travel in time, I’d visit... ” The company regularly uses such images, or doodles, on its home page.

Brown’s Google doodle uses images evoking primitive cave art to spell out Google.

Although he started with two concepts and created at least 10 drawings, Brown said he drew inspiration from the start from prehistoric times.

“I tried a bunch of other ones,” he said. “I

had a couple of options from the same time period — the Stone Age. I have always found that time period interesting from movies and learning in school about cavemen.”

He then painstakingly worked the idea into a logo after using Google (of course) to research examples of cave art.

“I took a lot of time,” he said. “I probably did 10 different images.

TOPEKA — What’s more important for Kansas today and in the future: strong schools, a solid social safety net or tax cuts?

That will be the debate this week as legislators approach the final days of the 2012 session.

The decision legislators make will affect Kansas for years to come.

Republican Gov. Sam Brownback is pushing the Republicancontrolled Legislature hard for tax cuts, saying the cuts will turbo-blast the state economy.

Critics say the large tax cuts Brownback wants will deplete state coffers making it impossible for the state to adequately fund schools and social services, which have sustained cuts over the past few years during the recession.

The tax cuts, they say, also will shift the burden of paying for these functions to local governments resulting in an increase in property taxes.

The political backstory of the debate couldn’t be more intense as legislators also fight over redistricting.

Kansas is the last state in the nation to redraw political boundaries to adjust for population shifts over the past decade.

Those district lines will help determine who wins elections for the next decade.

Adjourning the House on Friday for the weekend, House Speaker Mike O’Neal, R-Hutchinson, told legislators to rest up because this week “could be a dandy.”

Taxing question Brownback has been pushing since the start of session in January to cut state income and business taxes.

Caterpillar CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

“It is going to be wild, just insane in here,” Robbins said.

Dave Rintoul, associate director of Kansas State University’s biology division, can give a sense of the wildness to come.

More than a decade ago, Rintoul came across what he described as a tornado of butterflies.

Rintoul spotted them at a Fort Riley bird-banding station along the Kansas River. The area was heavily covered in hackberries, a common Kansas woodlands tree.

“It felt like there were more butterflies than air.

And that is what it is going to be like,” Rintoul said of the woods north of Lawrence. “In a couple of weeks, that is going to be quite a scene.”

What accounts for the massive population this spring is unknown. Robbins’ best guess is that the unusual warm winter led to more caterpillars surviving.

Bill Busby, an associate scientist with the Kansas Biological Survey, speculates that the high number of caterpillars are regional.

“If it’s out there, I suspect it is all around our area,” Busby said.

On a late Friday afternoon and about a mile into the public trails of the Fitch Natural History Reservation, Robbins walks into the heart of the caterpillar infestation. Among the sounds of bullfrog croaks and the flute-like whirl of the Swainson’s Thrush, the caterpillars’ droppings can be heard.

And this time there are so many that it sounds more like a shower than a gentle rain. Every few seconds a caterpillar plummets to the ground like a shooting star.

Throughout the woods, patches of leafless Hackberries stand, looking similar to the hot spots of barren vegetation that are left behind after a forest fire. Through the denuded trees sunlight pours through the woods.

Robbins predicts the lack of leaves will lead to more undergrowth on the forest floor this summer.

The forest floor isn’t the only thing that has benefited from the caterpillars.

Right now is the peak migration for birds traveling north from Central and South America. And all those caterpillars are a bonanza for both local and transitory birds, Robbins said.

“Literally they are just sitting in the trees stuffing themselves,” Robbins said.

As for the fate of the hackberries, Rintoul said in the case of the Fort Riley caterpillars that the trees had leaves by July and were fine the next year. And, he said, he only saw the butterflies that one time. But it was a sight he hasn’t forgotten.

“When we drove off, there were clouds of butterflies coming out of the windows of cars,” Rintoul said. “I bet you I still have Hackberry butterflies in there.”

But Hogan said people often are surprised to learn that about 25 percent of all the material collected is put on the shelves of the facility’s re-use store, which is located in a small metal building adjacent to the drop-off site.

The 1960s-era bottle of Weed B Gon that recently came through the door, for instance, isn’t a candidate for re-use. In fact, it will be one of the more expensive items for the facility to dispose of. Because of the cancerous dioxides in such old pesticides, it costs the facility $2,500 per 55-gallon drum to have a company ship the waste to an incinerator.

“It is scary how many 50- to 60-year-old pesticides are still sitting in people’s garages,” said Shawna Trarbach, a waste reduction and recycling specialist who works at the facility.

The children’s toy maze — the handheld game where you try to navigate the marble through the maze — also won’t go on the shelf. Why not? Because the marble actually is a bubble of mercury. At some point, they decided mercury wasn’t the best thing to put in children’s toys.

There are plenty of other items, too, that are destined to be shipped off by a hazardous materials company.

An old glass-bottle fire extinguisher designed to be thrown like a grenade at a blaze is on that list. Sounds cool, but the chemicals inside are about as dangerous as the flames they’re designed to fight.

Then there are more mundane items: old batteries, opened packages of mothballs, and even a coffee can full of cooking grease that won’t go on the shelves.

Although, the grease may be negotiable. They say it makes for a shiny coat. Might as well ask.

The price would be right.

Experts: Students’ financial illiteracy worsens debt load

By Michael Holtz

Editor’s note: This is one in a series of occasional stories produced by PoliticalFiber.com, a Kansas University journalism project that focuses on news about upcoming state and national campaigns.

Leticia Gradington has little patience for financially irresponsible students. As the director of Student Money Manage-

ment Services at Kansas University, she meets them on a weekly basis.

“Ninety-thousand dollars in student loans and no degree? That’s wrong,” she said about one undergraduate student she recently advised. “And I guarantee he’s not the only one out there who’s like that.”

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau estimates that total student loan debt passed $1 trillion last year.

Having emerged as a popular political talking point during the reces-

sion, financial literacy has since lost momentum. Instead, the more partisan issues Congress faces, such as tax rates and the national debt, have overshadowed it.

Ted Gonder, co-founder of Moneythink, a non-

profit financial education program for high school students, said he worried about the economic risks of ignoring the problem.

“Do we really want to see a repeat of what happened with the most recent recession?” he asked. “There were a lot of players involved in what happened, and one of those players was the consumer — consumers making uneducated, disenfranchised, unem-

powered financial decisions.”

Professor teaches how to read baseball KU literature course examines sport that ‘shows up everywhere’

When James Carothers was growing up in St. Louis, he remembers walking home, and on every stoop there would be a group of men drinking beer and listening to the Cardinals game on the radio.

“I could walk all those blocks home and never miss a pitch,” Carothers said.

Baseball was an important part of his world. He played it in school yards and youth leagues and followed the fortunes of the Cardinals in the sports pages.

“It was one of the unifying experiences of not just my childhood but a whole generation,” he said.

In post-World War II America, pro football and basketball hadn’t caught on yet. No ESPN. No extreme sports. Baseball was king.

JIM CAROTHERS HAS TAUGHT A COURSE ON BASEBALL IN LITERATURE at Kansas University since 1974 off and on. While growing up in St. Louis, Carothers often played baseball in school yards and youth leagues, and he followed Cardinals’ games closely.

English at Kansas University, he got the idea for a course on baseball in literature when he and a colleague joked about writing a dissertation with no footnotes.

When Carothers first pitched his idea, the administration wasn’t thrilled.

But making the con-

nections between baseball and popular culture seemed like a natural field of study. The game itself produced a tension, sometimes idyllic, but sometimes a reflection of an ever-changing and turbulent society. And baseball had its heroes just as great literature did.

“Baseball lent itself to

discussion and analysis and opened people up to a lot of different voices,” Carothers said. And baseball is prominent in the works of some of the great writers, such as Ernest Hemingway and William Faulkner. In “The Old Man and the Sea” by Hemingway, the fisherman thinks often about how New York Yankees Please see BASEBALL, page 7A

SOUTH MIDDLE SCHOOL EIGHTH-GRADER TAYLOR CUMMINS, LEFT, WATCHES as classmate Taylor Nation reacts to losing her thread while sewing together a toiletry bag on Thursday during a meeting of the South Sewing Club. Members of the club are sewing and packaging about 60 toiletry bags with various necessities to be donated to the Ronald McDonald House in Kansas City, Mo.

Sewing club teaches students new craft while helping charity

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

The whir of a dozen sewing machines could be heard Thursday afternoon at South Middle School as a group of students put the finishing touches on toiletry bags.

In assembly line fashion, the South Sewing Club stitched together the sides of the brightlycolored bags, which were destined for the Ronald McDonald House in Kansas City, Mo. In all, about 60 bags were stuffed with toothbrushes, deodorant, razors, cotton swabs and other toiletry items.

The bags were the idea of Coleen Creed, a family and consumer science teacher at South and instructor of the sewing club. Creed no longer teaches sewing as part of the family and consumer sciences curriculum, but she continues to find ways to encourage students to learn to sew through the monthly sewing club

meetings. Last semester, the group made Christmas stockings for the Ronald McDonald House.

“I just love it,” Creed said of the sewing-related community service project. “It gives me the spark of joy that is missing in a lot of teaching today.”

Among the students behind the sewing machine Thursday was Taylor Cummins, an eighth-grader who has known how to sew practically her “whole life” and decided to join the club because a friend wanted to learn the craft.

Taylor also liked the idea behind the club’s project.

“We are doing it for a good cause. It really is helping people who are in need. And, if I had to sew for a living, I would do it to help others,” she said.

The bags were just one of the many ways the school has raised money and donations for the charity, which provides a place to stay for families Please see SEWING, page 4A

“The best thing of all is it’s kids helping kids,” Lubert said about the donations. “We find ways to pay the bills ... but it is the volunteers like these young people who really make the houses into homes where families feel safe and relaxed and comfortable.”

Lubert said the toiletry bags will be put to good use because many of the families who come to the Ronald McDonald House arrive after a medical emergency and are hundreds of miles away from home without even a toothbrush.

“The kids are learning they can make a big difference in people’s lives,” Lubert said.

conference committee would reduce the top individual personal income tax rate from 6.45 percent to 5.5 percent for 2013 and then decline in increments to 4.9 percent for 2017, and it would drop the bottom tax rate from 3.5 percent to 3 percent. It would also put into place a tax break for businesses that Brownback said would be a shot of adrenaline to the heart of the economy.

“I think this is overall a good conference committee bill. I think this gets us on a growth curve from the modeling, from experience,” Brownback said. The cuts aren’t as aggressive as he initially proposed, Brownback said, dropping the adrenaline comparison.

“The heart’s going to be pumping harder. Better, I should say, not harder.”

But others have said the business tax cut proposal is unwarranted, unprecedented and will have an unknown effect on state revenue. The measure would phase out state taxes on certain types of income for partnerships, sole proprietorships, limited liability companies, and corporations formed under Subchapter S. “The new tax break would benefit large corporations and investment vehicles more than the smallbusiness job creators the governor and legislative advocates claim they are trying to help,” a report by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities said.

The Brownback administration maintains that the tax break will give businesses more money to invest and hire.

But Senate Vice President John Vratil, RLeawood, said the idea that tax cuts will spur the economy is discredited supply-side economics.

tweaked everything until I finally decided it was good enough.”

His parents, Jill and Dan Brown of Baldwin City, said Tucker involved them and his two older sisters and brother in the creative process.

“He worked on it for months,” Jill said. “He took a family vote on it at one time.”

Also helping him with his creation was Baldwin High School art teacher Christy Carlisle.

“I would draw something at home and then take it to school to show her,” Tucker said. “She would give me pointers on color and detail.”

“I am getting more emails saying do not cut my income tax if it is going to result in reductions in schools, public safety and highways,” Vratil said.

Opponents of the tax cut plan also are wary of estimates by the Brownback administration that its overhaul of the state’s Medicaid system will produce savings. If that assumption is wrong, the combined effect of traditional growth in Medicaid and the tax cuts will drive the state into huge deficits.

Moderates vs. conservatives The conference committee tax plan will likely be voted on this week.

Essentially, the only obstacle to enacting the Brownback-endorsed tax plan are Democrats and moderate Republicans in the Senate. That group favors a plan with a smaller price tag that is aimed at controlling property taxes, restoring cuts to public schools and carrying through on current law to drop the state sales tax rate of 6.3 percent to 5.7 percent.

The moderate Republican leadership in the Senate is in the crosshairs of the conservative wing of the Republican Party, which is led by Brownback.

Conservative Republicans hold a solid majority in the House, but they are at a slight disadvantage in the Senate, and that is how the tax issue bleeds into redistricting.

Brownback’s allies want new Senate district boundaries drawn in a way that benefits conservative Republicans so that the Senate will be controlled by conservatives in 2013.

Asked point-blank if he was trying to oust moderate Republicans in the Senate through the redistricting process, Brownback gave a one-word answer: “No.”

expense-paid, three-day trip to Manhattan, where this year’s winner will be announced May 18.

Should he win, Tucker will receive a $30,000 college scholarship and a $50,000 technology grant for Baldwin High School.

The winning logo will appear on the Google homepage May 18 and on a special-edition 64-box of Crayola crayons.

As a state winner, Tucker’s work will be displayed at the Wichita Art Museum and with those from other states at the New York Public Library.

As excited as Tucker was about learning he was the state winner, he had to keep the news under wraps as Google arranged Wednesday’s school assembly. Now, Tucker wants to share the news with everyone, partially because his fate in the contest is in the hands of voters. Online voting at google.com/doodle4google/vote.html will determine the winner for five age levels. Voting ends at 7 p.m. Thursday.

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD But during debates in the Senate on redistricting, Brownback’s top staff have flooded the zone on the Senate floor. Republicans and Democrats have said Brownback has cast a long shadow on redistricting. In addition, the Kansas Chamber of Commerce political action committee is working to oust the moderates.

More leverage And if pressure from Brownback, the Kansas Chamber of Commerce, and the House weren’t enough, there is even more leverage against the moderates.

In March, the Senate killed a $3.7 billion, five-year tax cut, but then moderates reversed course after arm-twisting from Brownback’s office and sent the measure to the House-Senate conference committee to continue work on tax plans.

Now, if the Senate this week rejects the tax-cutting plan that has been approved by the conference committee, the House could simply concur with that more expensive plan already approved by the Senate and put that on Brownback’s desk for his signature.

Speaking to reporters last week, House Speaker O’Neal said he wasn’t making a threat but mentioned that scenario was a possibility.

“The administration tells us that they can make it work. It’s a lot of tax relief in a hurry, so you’d expect a quicker stimulus from that,” O’Neal said.

He said he would prefer that not happen, but added, “It happens. Last week in the session, if that’s the only option left when you want to move forward, the option is used. And this wouldn’t be the first time.”

consider the age-level works for the big prize.

Baldwin City isn’t as big as the hometowns of some other contestants, but Tucker’s father thinks that small-town connections might work to Tucker’s advantage. Still, Dan said the family would welcome voters from a larger community.

“He’s the Kansas winner,” Dan said. “Kansans will be able to support a native son.”

Personal connections have been a plus at school.

Tucker said his fellow students were voting for him and word has spread to other Baldwin City schools.

“All over Facebook, people are telling me they’re voting and telling all their families and friends,” he said.

The dining room wall of the Brown’s home is covered with the artwork Tucker has created over the years. Tucker plans a future in art as well.

“I’d love to be a graphic artist,” he said. “Something in the arts field, definitely. I want to study industrial design next year at Kansas University.”

CAROTHERS’ TOP BASEBALL BOOKS

! The Macmillan Base-

star Joe DiMaggio is doing. “Baseball shows up everywhere,” Carothers said.

Since 1974, Carothers has been teaching the class off and on. Sometimes, he had 150 to 175 students.

“It became a sociological event,” he said.

“I have never claimed to have had the first literature baseball course,” he said, but adds, “I was certainly among the first.”

The course has included works of fiction, journalism, history and statistics.

Bill James, the nationally known baseball writer, executive and statistician, has known Carothers for about 40 years.

He described Carothers’ work as having raised the study of baseball in literature into an art form itself.

“Jim finds in baseball what others find in literature,” James said.

“There is a long tradition in baseball of morphing baseball stars into characters and archetypes, which are based on the real persons but which are greater than the real persons because they have been simplified in a way that makes it possible to project them on a grander scale,” James said. “Baseball players are — and have always been — a source of myth and legend. Their stories have a little bit of the quality of epics.”

James said television has nearly destroyed the oral tradition of swapping stories about archetypes, “but a little bit of it lives on in baseball. Jim has tried to elevate that tradition to the level of literature.”

Phillip Wedge was a sophomore at KU when he took Carothers’ baseball and literature class in 1975.

“That was the second time he taught it,” Wedge said. “He was just amazing. He had such a knowledge of baseball.”

they didn’t understand the major differences between private and federal options.

“If students really understood how much it costs them every time to hit the snooze button instead of going to class, they would go to class more often,” Gradington said. “Students just need to be a little more in touch with their money.”

Many students wish they were. A 2010 survey found 82 percent of KU students thought it was important to learn more about money management and credit and debt management. Eighty-four percent thought it was important to learn about savings and investing.

Those findings led Kansas University to create Student Money Management Services. Gradington and her small group of collegeage assistants help students understand their loan payments, create budgets and manage their credit cards.

They do what they can to help young people better manage their personal finances, but Gradington said it’s not enough.

‘Another crisis’ On Aug. 23, 2010, the U.S. House of Representatives Financial Services Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigation held a hearing on the issue, the third one in a four-part series organized to look at problems exposed by the financial crisis.

“Will financial literacy, on its own, prevent the next financial crisis?” asked then-U.S. Rep. Dennis Moore, D-Kan., and the former chairman of the subcommittee who has since retired. “Perhaps not, but I know if we don’t do a better job promoting

by Robert Coover ! “The Southpaw” by Mark Harris ! “The Celebrant” by Eric Rolfe Greenberg !"”Babe: The Legend Comes to Life” by Robert Creamer Wedge said some students thought the class would be an easy A, but Carothers was serious about his subject and there were no easy grades.

Wedge said then “there were very few cases on sports literature anywhere. There were even some within the KU English department who scoffed at it.”

Wedge later went on to become senior lecturer in the KU English department, and is now teaching sports in literature and sports in film.

“He paved the way for people like me,” he said.

Carothers has lectured across the country on baseball including at the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y., and even at the University of Mumbai in India.

In 2010, at the annual Baseball in Literature and Culture Conference, Carothers gave the keynote address and was introduced as “a true groundbreaker.”

Tom Strawman, who is chairman of the English department at Middle Tennessee State University where the conference is held, said that when he was a master’s student at KU in the 1970s he took a teaching composition course from Carothers.

“He was a great teacher full of anecdote and dry wit at every turn of the course,” Strawman said.

Strawman had recom-

financial education, that will only increase the likelihood of another crisis.”

While most policymakers ignored Moore’s warning, a small group of Democrats turned it into a policy issue. They proposed a combined seven financial literacy bills in Congress during the last 16 months. Yet progress on most of the bills remains slow. The two that did make it through Congress emphasized symbolic gesturing over substantive policy by declaring April “Financial Literacy Month” both this year and last.

U.S. Rep. Andre Carson, D-Ind., said he was “deeply hopeful” that Congress would pass his bill by the end of the year. With 32 co-sponsors, the Young Adults Financial Literacy Act is one of the most popular pieces of financial literacy legislation.

The bill would establish a federal grant program to help fund financial literacy programs for young people and families. But even it appears unlikely to make it out of committee.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has made up for Congress’ lack of progress on financial literacy by providing free online resources. Last month, the agency launched a beta version of the Financial Aid Comparison Shopper, an interactive, online tool designed to help students plan for the costs of higher education.

“There’s a tremendous need for people of all ages, but especially young people, to have knowledge and the capability to manage money and avoid the missteps that can really hurt their economic futures,” said Gail Hillebrand, associate director of consumer education and engagement at the bureau. “We can’t expect people to do well if they don’t have the skills and don’t understand (financial) products.”

— Bill James, baseball writer, executive and statistician, of KU professor James Carothers mended Carothers speak at the Baseball in Literature and Culture Conference because he was one of the first in the nation to teach baseball in literature at the college level.

Thomas Mulinazzi, a civil engineering professor at KU, knows Carothers outside the field of literature.

In the 1980s, Mulinazzi played with Carothers on the Plymouth Congregational Church team, the Plymouth Rocks.

“He could really hit the ball,” Mulinazzi said of Carothers. He said Carothers, a left-handed batter, would salivate at the short right-field fence in Broken Arrow Park.

The team won a church league state title in 1981.

And Mulinazzi said he,

Mulinazzi, “is the only guy that Jim Carothers ever pinch-ran for.”

The two also participate in a weekly decades-long game called Ball Park Baseball, an intricate baseball board game. Most of the players are affiliated with KU, but no one ever talks about work, Mulinazzi said.

“It’s the ultimate escape,” he said. They talk about, what else? Baseball.

Carothers has served on the KU English department faculty since 1970, also teaching courses in Shakespeare, Faulkner, Hemingway and the modern American novel.

If he had to pick a favorite baseball novel, Carothers said it would be “The Universal Baseball Association, Inc. J. Henry Waugh, Prop.”

KANSAS COURT OF APPEALS

Judges: 4th Amendment violated in DUI case

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

A Kansas Court of Appeals panel has ruled a Lawrence police officer overstepped the bounds of the Fourth Amendment when she stuck her foot under a garage door to confront and later arrest a suspect in his home in 2009.

The judges released their opinion Friday in the appeal of Troy E. Dugan’s DUI and traffic-related convictions, saying officer Laurie Scott should have applied for a warrant the afternoon of Sept. 17, 2009, instead of placing her foot under Dugan’s closing garage door.

It tripped a safety mechanism causing the door to open, and Scott began investigating Dugan.

The appellate judges also ruled Douglas County Chief District Judge Robert Fairchild erred in denying a motion by Dugan’s defense attorney to suppress evidence Scott obtained after she stuck her foot under the garage door.

AROUND & ABOUT IN LOCAL BUSINESS !"Lawrence Memorial Hos-

pital has named Joseph Pedley as its new chief financial officer. He will oversee financial operations at the hospital.

Pedley has worked in health care financial management for 20 years. Most recently, he served as CFO at Mercy Regional Medical Center in Durango, Colo. He also worked for Catholic Health Initiatives, a nonprofit health system with more than 70 hospitals in 22 states. Pedley graduated from the University of Nebraska with a bachelor’s degree in business administration. Pedley replaces Simon Scholtz, who retired and served as LMH’s CFO for 13 years. !"Sunflower Publishing won 2012 Great Plains Journalism Awards last weekend. Topeka Magazine chief photographer Jason Dailey won first place in the magazine portrait category. Dailey’s winning portrait, a profile of Brigadier Gen. Deborah Rose, appeared in the summer 2011 edition of Topeka Magazine. Lawrence Magazine art director Shelly Bryant and the staff of Lawrence Magazine placed in the finalist category of Best Magazine Page Design. Lawrence Magazine’s entry was for the article “What Would John Brown Do?” written by Amber Fraley and appearing in the publication’s fall 2011 edition.

Other contributors to the story included Dailey, Bill Stephens (photography), Jennifer Heeke (photography) and Jason Barr (artwork). The Great Plains Journalism Awards are sponsored by the Tulsa Press Club and Benevolent Association.

Competition is open to publications of all sizes in an eightstate region of Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa, North Dakota and South Dakota.

“Although the question might be closer than some, we do not share the district court’s tolerance for the governmental breach of a private residence and, therefore, reverse that ruling with directions the motion be granted,” the judges wrote in their opinion released Friday.

Scott was following Dugan’s sport utility vehicle after a dispatcher put out his description, tag number, name and address following a rear-end collision earlier near downtown. Dugan was accused of leaving the scene of the crash in which no one was taken to the hospital.

Scott found an SUV matching that description and followed it until Dugan pulled into a driveway, activated an automatic garage door and pulled inside.

Scott turned on her patrol car’s emergency lights in the driveway, and later got out of the car and placed her foot under the door.

The appellate judges ruled it did not qualify as a

“hot pursuit,” which would have permitted Scott to enter the home without a warrant. She had not engaged emergency equipment while following the vehicle and “saw nothing suggesting any traffic violations” as she followed him.

According to the opinion, when officers interacted with him in the garage, they determined Dugan “displayed signs of intoxication.” He told officers he was involved in a rear-end collision earlier and admitted having “several beers.” He did poorly on field sobriety tests, but refused to take a breath test. After denying the motion to suppress, Fairchild eventually convicted him of felony DUI — because he had three prior convictions — and other misdemeanor traffic infractions.

But the appellate panel ordered that motion-tosuppress ruling be reversed and the case be sent back to the district court.

“A citizen’s Fourth Amendment rights do not rise or fall on the schedules of government agents or their predilections for expediency,” the opinion states. “The framers intended judicially issued warrants as a check on just those inclinations and to preserve for the citizenry a sphere of privacy in their own homes against undue government intrusion. The Fourth Amendment has not yet fallen into such disrepair that it no longer serves that fundamental purpose in a case such as this.”

Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson said Friday prosecutors were still reviewing the opinion and deciding how to proceed, including a possible appeal to the Kansas Supreme Court.

Finishing last The current redistricting debacle is an embarrassment for Kansas.

F

orty-nine states have completed the process of redrawing their congressional districts based on the 2010 U.S. Census.

One has not. That would be Kansas.

Heading into what is scheduled to be the last week of the 2012 session, the Kansas Legislature still is bickering about not only how to adjust the state’s four congressional districts, but also how to redraw legislative districts, a task also completed by the vast majority of states.

The politics of this situation have been extremely — perhaps unusually — difficult in Kansas this year, but the fact that redistricting delays are threatening to set back candidate filing deadlines and perhaps even the state’s primary elections is an indication that this system is broken.

Redistricting in Kansas could end up in the courts for the first time since 1982.

During a recent visit to the Journal-World, Kansas Senate leaders noted that one reason Kansas lags behind other states is because it takes extra time to adjust U.S. Census figures for the state. Using questionnaires distributed at state universities and military bases, the state attempts to clerically return students and military personnel to their “permanent” residences to be counted.

According to Kansas redistricting officials, a few other states adjust their state census to remove inmates in state prisons, but Kansas is the only state that attempts to count students and military personnel in some location other than where they currently are living. This practice is a Kansas oddity that minimally reduces the population in university or military communities and minimally increases population in some rural counties. It costs the state money and should be eliminated.

That being said, the state census adjustment isn’t the only reason the Kansas redistricting process is broken. According to the Kansas Secretary of State’s office, there was only about a four-month gap between March 2011, when the state received the detailed federal census figures it needs for redistricting, and July 2011, when it released the adjusted state figures. Perhaps legislators could have gotten a slight head start on legislative redistricting if they had been able to use the federal figures, but given this year’s political climate, that might not have been enough to avoid the current redistricting train wreck.

The Kansas Senate leadership has pledged to try, before the end of the current session, to pass a constitutional amendment that would turn redistricting over to an independent bipartisan commission. It’s a measure Kansans would be more than happy to see on the November ballot.

Americans link race and criminality I don’t care about George Zimmerman’s MySpace page.

Granted, it was gratifying to read recently in The Miami Herald about his crude animus toward Mexicans (“soft ass wanna be thugs”) and his reference to a former girlfriend as an “ex-hoe.” Given the way white supremacists and other Zimmerman supporters have exaggerated and manufactured evidence to paint Zimmerman’s unarmed 17-year-old victim, Trayvon Martin, as a thug who somehow deserved shooting, this unflattering portrait offers the same satisfaction one feels any time the goose is basted with sauce that was prepared for the gander.

But ultimately, Zimmerman’s online profile is as irrelevant as Trayvon’s to any real understanding of the social dynamics that were at play the night the boy was shot to death. Worse, our fixation on this ephemera, the need on the one hand to make Trayvon some dark gangsta straight from Central Casting and on the other to find a Klan hood in the back of Zimmerman’s closet, suggests a shallow, even naive, understanding of the role race seems to have played in this tragedy.

The pertinent fact is that Zimmerman found Trayvon suspicious because, as he told

Leonard Pitts Jr.

“

lpitts@miamiherald.com

At some subterranean level, we — African-Americans — still believe the garbage of innate criminality we have so assiduously been fed …” the 911 dispatcher, the boy was walking slowly and looking around. That might be the behavior of a boy who was turned around in an unfamiliar neighborhood. Or of a boy enjoying a cellphone conversation with a girl and not overly eager to return to where his sweet nothings might be overheard by his dad.

That no such alternate possibilities seem to have occurred to Zimmerman for even an instant suggests the degree to which we as a people have grown comfortable with the belief that black is crime and crime is black.

Nor are African-Americans immune to the effects of that invidious formulation.

Indeed, the dirty little secret of the Martin killing is that Zimmerman could easily have been black. True, a black Zimmerman probably would not have been sent home by prosecutors who declined to press charges — whiteness still has its privileges — but otherwise, yes. It is entirely possible.

Why not? Blacks watch the same TV news as anyone else. We internalize the same message. We drink the same poison.

Why else do you think black folk flinch when the mug shot goes up on television, hoping the face will not be brown — as if we bore some communal responsibility for the suspect’s misdeeds? Why else do you think so much of our music is a song of violence and crime?

Why else, when I ask an auditorium full of black kids how frequently the individual who murders a white person is black, do they figure it at 75 percent? Why else are they shocked to hear it’s only 13?

At some subterranean level, we — African-Americans — still believe the garbage of innate criminality we have so assiduously been fed, and struggle with hating our-

selves, as America long ago taught us to do. We struggle with it, yet we know better from firsthand, man-in-themirror experience. So how much harder is the struggle for white folks?

This is why I grow impatient with those — black, white and otherwise — who think the salient social issue here is George Zimmerman’s character. It is not. Nor is it Trayvon’s.

It is, rather, that ours is a nation so obscenely comfortable in conflating black with crime that a civilian carrying no badge of authority nonetheless feels it his right to require that an American boy walking lawfully upon a public street justify his presence there. And it is the knowledge that at least some black men would have done the same.

To make this about Zimmerman is to absolve the rest of us for maintaining a society that, in ways both overt and covert, still makes criminality a function of skin.

Trayvon Martin was killed by a stereotype. George Zimmerman is just the guy who fired the gun.

PUBLIC FORUM

Bigger goals To the editor: The apparent difference that is causing a split in the Republican ranks in Kansas is easy enough to understand. The moderate Republican officeholders are interested in re-election. The extreme right wing, as exemplified by Mr. Brownback and Kobach, are motivated by dreams of gaining the Oval Office in the White House. They simply view this as an opportunity to gain national attention.

At least that is my opinion as to why Mr. Brownback gave up his safe seat in the U.S. Senate: because of the easier move to the office of the presidency. I firmly believe Mr. Brownback sees this job merely as a stepping stone to achieve his highest ambition: the office of the president of the United States of America.

Everett Hickam, Lawrence

Health care shouldn’t be political football Next month, the Supreme Court will deliver its judgment on the constitutionality of the Affordable Health Care Act. The key issue is the “individual mandate” that requires people to buy insurance.

After the March hearings, legal writer Jeffrey Toobin wrote that President Obama’s soliciter-general had an “off day” when he tried to defend the bill. “Still, it’s worth noting the magnitude of the challenge that he was facing,” he wrote.

By “challenge,” Toobin didn’t mean the task of defending a jury-rigged bill passed by dubious methods by members of Congress who hadn’t bothered to read it. Rather, he meant the tough questions members of the court asked him, for which there were no easy answers.

Toobin’s defense of the bill in essence is that Congress ought to be free to do whatever it thinks is best and that “unelected, unaccountable, life-tenured judges” shouldn’t overturn the work of “the democratically elected branches of government.” It’s a little hard to square this blind faith in Congress at a time when the institution’s approval ratings are at historic lows. And you have to wonder if Toobin would be as critical of the Supreme Court if it were questioning a Congress dominated by right-wing zealots.

Even Anthony Kennedy — supposedly the moderate on the court and often the “swing vote” — said that the mandate “changes the relationship of the federal government to the individual in a very fundamental way.” But rather than inspiring some skepticism and concern about the bill, Ken-

George Gurley nedy’s thoughtful comment provoked Toobin to belittle the justice’s competence.

Nothing seems capable of persuading partisans that ObamaCare might be less than Holy Writ: Not the spectacle of deal-making with special interests, not the sordid attempt to buy votes for its passage, not the fact that more than half the country still opposes the bill. The government’s own budget office has said that ObamaCare will cost far more than promised. Health and Human Services has already jettisoned the bill’s long-term care entitlement as economically impossible. Moreover, the bill didn’t address the structural problems in our health care system, the perverse incentives created by tax policies, or the looming insolvency of Medicare and Medicaid In an audacious display of indifference to the truth, the president claimed that the bill was passed by “a strong majority,” while everyone knows it barely passed, and only with resort to the dubious device of “reconciliation.” Instead of trying to sell the public on the bill, Obama displayed his characteristic detachment and let Congress cook up another convoluted 2,700-page bureaucratic monstrosity.

Economist Alan Blinder implied that opposition to ObamaCare is an attack on health care and disease prevention, that the bill represents the sole avenue of reform and that its provisions are actually implicit in the Declaration of Independence’s guarantee of the rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Many “advanced” countries have state-run health care, he wrote, without mentioning that those states also have health care funding crises. He added his own dig at the Supreme Court: “Does anyone think it is sensible to have nine lawyers decide what sort of health care payment system the nation should have?”

Of course, the court isn’t deciding what kind of health care payment system the nation should have. It’s deciding whether ObamaCare is constitutional. That’s exactly what the Supreme Court is supposed to do. Blinder expressed alarm that if the mandate is declared unconstitutional, the entire bill would be destroyed, as if to say that even if it’s unconstitutional and poorly conceived, the court ought to approve it to avoid “throwing the baby out with the bath water.”

Funny, how people can applaud when the Supreme Court “legislates” in accordance with their views and then be appalled when it swings the other way. It’s worth noting that reservations about ObamaCare are appearing even among Democrats. North Carolina Democratic Congressman Brad Miller recently said that, “We could have all been better off

— President Obama politically, Democrats in Congress politically, and the nation would have been better off ” if his party had tabled ObamaCare. Liberal icon Barney Frank said, “I think we paid a terrible price for health care” and suggested that the Democrats should have had second thoughts about ObamaCare after the storm of opposition arose.

This show of introspection, rare for politicians, is encouraging. But note that the concern is all about political repercussions.

What they should be worried about is the viability of ObamaCare and its impact on the future of the United States. Health care should never have become a political football fought over

by Republicans and Democrat, a religious war that one side must win and the other must lose. The only debate should be about what will work and what can we afford.

There are many ways to reform the system that have been ignored. ObamaCare has unfortunately and needlessly enmeshed health care in profound issues such as the encroachment of the regulatory state on individual freedoms and the division of power between federal and state governments. It keeps us locked on the rail of unsustainable deficit spending. Opponents of the bill argue that it would give Congress unlimited power over all individual economic decisions. We should step with care into that brave new world. There may be dragons there.

JOCKEY MARIO GUTIERREZ RIDES I’LL HAVE ANOTHER TO VICTORY in the 138th Kentucky Derby on Saturday at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Ky.

Another unlikely Derby winner ——

I’ll Have Another stuns field

By Beth Harris Associated Press Racing Writer

Journal-

LOUISVILLE, KY. — I’ll Have Another looked like just another horse at the Kentucky Derby.

Until the final furlong, that is.

That’s when the chestnut colt — sold for a paltry $11,000, ridden by a rookie jockey hardly anyone knew and stuck in an outside post — blazed past highly regarded Bodemeister to win by 1 1-2 lengths on Saturday, beating one of the deepest fields in years.

I’ll Have Another stormed out of post No. 19 — the first winner from there in 138 runnings of the Derby — and bided his time back in midpack while Bodemeister set a blistering pace on a muggy, 85-degree afternoon at Churchill Downs.

“He’s an amazing horse. I kept telling everybody, from the first time I met him, I knew he was the one. I knew he was good,” jockey Mario Gutierrez said. “I said in an interview, even if they allowed me to pick from the whole rest of the field, I would have stayed with him, 100 percent, no doubt about it.”

Making his Derby debut at 25, Gutierrez got his chance to ride I’ll Have Another after trainer Doug O’Neill and owner J. Paul Reddam happened to see him at Santa Anita in Southern California.

“I don’t know if he won or not, but he really looked good in the irons to me,” said Reddam, who owns CashCall, a lending company in Anaheim, Calif. “I said, ‘We need to try some new blood.’”

KANSAS UNIVERSITY SEEMS TO HAVE PLENTY OF CANDIDATES at wide receiver. Veterans Kale Pick (7), Daymond Patterson (15) and D.J. Beshears (20) seem to have emerged as front-runners from a pack that includes JaCorey Shepherd (89), Chris Omigie (83) and Christian Matthews (12), among others.

Competition fierce at wideout

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

By his own admission, Kansas University football coach Charlie Weis understands he has a long way to go before reaching the point of complete comfort with his new team.

Still, in just a few months and 15 spring practices, Weis was able to make plenty of headway and arrive at a couple of concrete conclusions.

“I’d say of all the positions on the team, the position that there’s been the most compe-

tition has been wide receiver,” Weis said.

That should come as little surprise, for a couple of reasons. First, it’s tied with the offensive line for the team’s largest position. As of Wednesday, KU’s official roster showed 11 players at both positions. Beyond that, because KU’s offense struggled last season, no receiver was able to establish himself as the go-to guy, and there are plenty of wideouts with good measureables who could break out under new leadership.

“There’s a whole bunch of

players,” Weis said of his receiving corps. “A whole bunch of guys who have ability, too.”

Weis is not the only member of the KU football team excited about the prospects for KU’s receivers. Quarterback Dayne Crist, who saw plenty of talent come through Notre Dame during his four seasons in South Bend, Ind., said this spring that the guys he throws to at Kansas were on par with his former Fighting Irish teammates.

“Absolutely,” Crist said.

“I’ve been very happy with the progress that the receivers

have made, and I think there’s great depth at the position.”

That depth, though packed with unproven players, is front-loaded with experience. Seniors D.J. Beshears, Daymond Patterson and Kale Pick all have plenty of playing time on their resumes, and those three seemed to separate themselves from the rest of the pack just a little this spring.

“There are several guys out there with a lot more experience playing, and that shows Please see RECEIVERS, page 10B

FSHS 4th, LHS 5th at league swimming

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

A pair of league swimming titles weren’t enough to satisfy Free State High freshman Courtney Caldwell on Saturday afternoon at the Lawrence Indoor Aquatic Center.

Caldwell set Sunflower League and personal records in the championship finals with her 50 free time of 23.71 seconds and won the 100 free with another personal record, 51.87 seconds. Still, minutes after the meet came to an end, the competitive freshman couldn’t get past the disappointment of the Firebirds’ taking fifth in the

last race of the day, the 400 free relay.

Taking deep breaths and appearing worn down, Caldwell said: “I’m not really tired, I’m just kind of a little upset.”

FSHS had the top relay time at Friday’s prelims, but finished fifth in the finals, more than three seconds behind Shawnee Mission East, which racked up the most overall points to secure a Sunflower League team title.

Though the result peeved Caldwell, sophomore teammate Lucy SirimongkhonDyck said Caldwell always serves as a great anchor in the 400 free relay.

“She beat herself up,” Siri-

mongkhon-Dyck said, “but I think we all did our best.”

The SME 400 relay victory surprised Lawrence, too.

The Lions’ Gretchen Frick, Annie Odrowski, Miranda Rohn and Heather Cistola had been nearly two seconds better than East in the prelims. But LHS took second after finishing 1.65 seconds behind SME in the final.

Said Frick: “We were a little bit surprised since they were in lane two. At least now we know for state that we have another team to look out for.”

Lawrence, which finished fifth in the team standings, 35 points behind fourth-place FSHS, took league titles in

two races. The Lions’ first gold medals came in the 200 medley relay, with Rohn, Frick, Cistola and Odrowski beating out Free State’s Sirimongkhon-Dyck, Kat LaFever, Kate McCurdy and Caldwell for first place.

“We had a lot of races (this season) where some of us had done really well and others hadn’t,” Frick said, “but today we all just did really well, and we all went best times.”

Cistola nabbed another gold medal for LHS by beating out a familiar foe, Olathe Northwest senior Mackenna Rife, in the 200 free.

Ohio State loses top LB recruit COLUMBUS, OHIO (AP) — An Ohio State recruit has told the Buckeyes he will not attend the university, according to several published reports, amid concern that a convicted sex offender had interactions with players and recruits associated with the program.

Alex Anzalone, one of the nation’s top linebacker recruits, committed to Ohio State last month in what was turning out to be a stellar class for new coach Urban Meyer.

But Anzalone, of Wyomissing, Pa., will reopen his recruiting process, after being contacted by Charles Eric Waugh, 31, of Ashland, Ky. In 2008, Waugh

pleaded guilty to five counts of possession of underage sexual content. And this year, across Twitter, he contacted several Ohio State coaches, athletes, and even recruits, including Anzalone. He also posed for photos with some of them.

Dr. Sal Anzalone, Alex’s father, told the Reading (Pa.) Eagle late Friday that “something is just not right at Ohio State.

It’s not for him.�

As news spread of Anzalone’s decision, and of Waugh’s past, the school put out a statement. “The issue surrounding the individual from Kentucky is being treated by the Department of Athletics as a student-

athlete welfare issue. When the University became aware that this individual had been seen in pictures — taken in public places — with studentathletes, proactive precautions were taken and the Department of Athletics alerted more than 1,000 Ohio State studentathletes about this person,� the statement said. “The email message also reminded them of the negative implications that can be realized through simple associations on social networking sites.

This individual is not associated with Ohio State. He is not a booster. He has not engaged in any activities on behalf of the

University. The Department of Athletics will continue to monitor this issue and it will remain proactive in its efforts with regard to precautions for its student-athletes.�

Anzalone visited Columbus last month during spring-game weekend. While there, he and other potential recruits posed for a photo with Waugh, who later posted it on Twitter. “You don’t want your son to go to a place where there’s a potential issue,� Sal Anzalone told the Eagle. “You expect the staff to have some sort of control on how things are handled with recruits when they visit. This is ridiculous.�

By Greg Cote The Miami Herald

It was early on the evening of Halloween 2009, when I last saw the man. This was at Jacksonville Municipal Stadium, of all places, in the main media/ interview room after the Gators had beaten Georgia in their annual neutral-site football game.

He was taping a segment for his short-lived Versus network show, Sports Jobs With Junior Seau, playing a reporter, waiting to ask then-Florida coach Urban Meyer a question.

He had a yellow notebook in his hand onto which he had scrawled questions, which I thought was cute.

The question he ended up asking was forgettable and the answer innocuous, but I remember our conversation afterward, and I remember seeing Seau for what he was just then and feeling sorry for him: He was a superstar athlete in his NFL career’s deepest winter (the Patriots were on a bye week), just weeks from retiring for good and unsure what was ahead. He was a man with half of his life still to live (one assumed without thought) and trying to figure out a way to live it. I reintroduced myself to him afterward, and he was kind enough to pretend to remember me from his Dolphins years from 2003 to 2005.

I asked how he was doing. “Buddy I’m a nervous wreck,� he said, trying on a smile. Why, I asked. “I guess because I’m not looking through a facemask,� he said.

If only Seau had had half his life still to live then instead of a mere 21â „2 years. Anyone dying at 43 is a tragedy.

When that death of an outwardly healthy young man is thought to be by suicide, in this case a gunshot to the chest, every emotion is compounded by a single word that could be joined with an exclamation or a question mark, or both all at once.

To loved ones, that word is screamed, or sobbed, and if there was no note left behind to explain, that word keeps repeating and never, ever stops.

Why? Why! Seau left no note, police said.

No answers. “I don’t understand!� Seau’s mother, Luisa Mauga Seau, wailed to reporters Wednesday. “I pray to God, take me, leave my son alone, but it’s too late!�

I will remember Seau as one of the NFL’s all-time greats. But the private little mental snapshot I’ll keep will be of him in reporter’s clothes, clutching a yellow notepad with questions he had written for Meyer, a soon-to-be-ex-jock trying to figure out what to do with the rest of his life.

That life would be over 21â „2 years later, and apparently by his own hand, and it makes a chill fall across the skin like a ghost.

Why, Junior? Why!

DRIVER JEFF GORDON GIVES A THUMBS UP AFTER WINNING THE POLE Saturday at Talladega, Ala., for today’s Sprint Cup race.

Talladega pole position a boost for Gordon TALLADEGA, ALA. — Jeff Gordon understands winning a pole doesn’t mean very much for the big picture.

But after opening this season with a serious slump, the four-time NASCAR champion is embracing all the small victories he can get.

Gordon grabbed the top starting spot for today’s race at Talladega Superspeedway with a lap at 191.623 mph in his Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet. It was Gordon’s first pole since this race last year, and the 71st of his career — third on the all-time list.

And it comes at a time when Gordon is trying to jumpstart his season. He’s ranked 17th in the Sprint Cup Series standings.

AJ Allmendinger held down the top spot for most of Saturday’s qualifying session in his Penske Racing Dodge, and Gordon made his attempt with four cars to go. He ran an unconventional lap around the bottom of the track, and it was good enough to bump Allmendinger’s 191.111.

match Funk at 9-under 135 on The Tournament Course. The main attraction Saturday was the grouping of Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer and Gary Player in an exhibition scramble. Palmer curled in a 25-foot birdie putt on the final hole, prompting a roar from the massive gallery that followed the greats all day. The team of Nicklaus, Palmer and Player won the three-team event at 11 under.

Dyson leads in Spain SEVILLE, SPAIN — England’s Simon Dyson closed with a double bogey for a 1-under 71, leaving him with a one-stroke lead after the third round of the 100th Spanish Open. Dyson had a 5-under 211 total at Real Club de Golf de Sevilla.

Simpson best at Wells Fargo

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The cheers Webb Simpson heard Saturday at Quail Hollow were all for him.

Simpson, who lives about a mile from the course, emerged from a crowded leaderboard with a 12-foot birdie putt on the 17th hole. He finished with a 3-under 69 for a one-shot lead in the Wells Fargo Championship.

Simpson, who played the opening two rounds with crowd favorite Tiger Woods, was among seven players who had a share of the lead at some point in the third round. One of them was Rory McIlroy, who can return to No. 1 in the world this week. McIlroy was slowed by a threeputt, but had a 66 and was among those two shots behind.

“It was really kind of nice to beat her once,” Cistola after her 1:55.46 finish.

Rife got some payback in the 500 free, finishing more than four seconds in front of second-place Cistola (5:12.29), who set personal records in both of her individual races.

“I was really not expecting Mackenna to go that fast,” Cistola said. “She’s a great competitor.”

Between the city’s two rival schools, Free State had the most championship swimming medals, with 10. Along with Caldwell’s wins, the Firebirds’ second-place 200 medley relay finish and the fifth-place 400 free relay, Sirimongkhon-Dyck was third in the 100 back and fourth in the 200 IM, Eliza Anderson took fourth in 100 back and sixth in 200 free, and McCurdy finished fifth in the 100 fly. The 200 free relay team of Anderson, Katie Kimbrough, Alexa Malik and Morgan Miller took fourth.

Plus, FSHS divers Jackie Zaitz (fourth), Annie Soderberg (sixth) and Haley Johnson (11th) all scored points.

Free State coach Annette McDonald said her team was “fabulous” at prelims, and she was proud of how it finished out a long two days at the league meet.

“They really swam well. They just were beat because the other teams swam better,” the FSHS coach said.

LAWRENCE HIGH SOPHOMORE ANNIE ODROWSKI, SECOND FROM RIGHT, gets caught up in the emotion of a come-from-behind second-place finish for the Lions as sophomore anchor Heather Cistola finishes during the 400-yard freestyle relay at the Sunflower League meet Saturday at the Lawrence Indoor Aquatic Center. Pictured at left is LHS sophomore Gretchen Frick, and at right is junior Miranda Rohn.

Caldwell, too, said the Firebirds were pleased.

“We stepped it up,” she said. “We did an amazing job.”

Lawrence accumulated six championship medals.

To go with the 200 medley relay title, Cistola’s 200 free title and her secondplace swim in the 500 free, Frick took third in both

100 fly and 100 breast, and Odrowski was sixth in the 200 IM, In diving, Allison Williams finished ninth.

LHS coach Kent McDonald said prelims didn’t go the way the Lions wanted and that cost them Saturday in the points race.

“We really needed some breaks,” he said.

Kocon hits 3-run shot in Jayhawks’ 4-3 loss J-W Staff Reports

COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS — Kansas University senior Liz Kocon blasted a three-run home run in the Jayhawks’ 4-3 loss to No. 18-ranked Texas A&M on Saturday at the Aggies’ field.

The Jayhawks fell to 3119 overall and 6-16 in the Big 12; A&M improved to 35-16, 15-8.

Lawrence junior left fielder Maggie Hull scored on Kocon’s homer, tying her for the most runs scored in a season at KU (46, Rose Rader, 1980). The junior captain had two hits in four atbats and moved into sev-

enth in single-season hits (67) at KU. Maddie Stein and Lexi Bryant also had two hits for KU. “I think as a coach, you walk away saying that was a great game no matter which team you’re on,” coach Megan Smith said. “We just have to get more than that one clutch hit. Liz stepped up and gave us a big one, and we had several key hits today, but not enough with runners in scoring position. That was our downfall. I thought both of our pitchers (Alicia Pille, Kristin Martinez) threw extremely well. We ask them to go out there and

keep us in the game and they did that for us today.”

Kocon’s home run moved her into sole possession of second in career homers at KU (32).

She passed Destiny Frankenstein.

Junior catcher Megan May hit the game-tying two-run shot with two outs in the bottom of the fourth, while Mel Dumezich’s solo shot in the fifth stood as the game winner.

The two teams play again at 11 a.m. today.

Kansas 003 000 0 — 3 9 0 Texas A&M 010 210 x — 4 11 0 W —Lauren Ainsley, 4-1. L —Kristin Martinez, 6-3.

KU highlights: Liz Kocon 3-run home run; Maggie Hull, Lexi Bryant, Maddie Stein 2 hits.

Kentucky Derby winner I’ll Have Another wasn’t the only longshot to stand in the winner’s circle late Saturday afternoon.

For Air Force Academy left-hander Ben Bertelson, a junior from Midland, Texas, the winner’s circle on which he stood was the Hoglund Ballpark pitcher’s mound. Bertelson softtossed his way to a careerbest performance, defeating Kansas University, 3-0, with an eight-hit shutout.

Repeatedly baffling Kansas hitters with fullcount change-ups, Bertelson got four of his seven strikeouts on called third strikes. He walked two and hit one batter on his way to his first shutout since ... since when?

“I honestly don’t know, sir,” Bertelson said.

I’ll Have Another went off at 15-to-1. The odds of Bertelson pitching a shutout for Air Force (13-33) against Kansas (19-28) were much longer than that.

He entered the game with an 0-8 record this

season and a 2-16 career mark. He never had pitched a shutout for Air Force. Might his last have come in high school?

“Probably,” he said.

“But I’m sorry, I don’t remember. I don’t look at stats.”

Here’s a statistic: The shutout enabled Bertelson to trim his season ERA from 7.82 to 6.60.

For an instant, Bertelson appeared to have lost his shutout when a run went on the board for Kansas in the sixth inning.

The run was erased when Air Force appealed that Kevin Kuntz missed third base when scoring from second on Alex DeLeon’s single to center, and the umpire upheld the appeal.

“I did touch the bag,” Kuntz said. “I hit the front-left corner with my right foot. It was devastating for him to say I didn’t touch it.”

Instead of having one run in, one out and two runners on base, the ruling meant the shutout was preserved, and Bertelson needed one more out to strand the remaining base-runner.

In Big 12 confernce games, Kansas ranks last with a .219 batting average, .266 slugging percentage and a .301 on-base percentage, at times getting dominated by hard-throwing Big 12 pitchers.

Facing Bertelson required a distinctly different approach, and the hitters weren’t able to adjust.

“He threw nine guys 3-2 change-ups for outs,” Kansas coach Ritch Price said. “You don’t see that much in our conference.

They work off the fastball, take a professional approach. He pitched backwards. When you don’t have the velocity, that’s a good strategy. He pitched a smart game.”

Kansas freshman lefthander Wes Benjamin (2-7), chosen in the 48th round by the New York Yankees last June, took the loss and limited the Falcons to two earned runs in 52⁄3 innings.

Kansas returns to the Hog today at 1 p.m. against Missouri State.

Air Force 100 100 100 — 3 7 0 Kansas 000 000 000 — 0 8 0 W — Ben Bertelson, 1-8. L — Wes Benjamin, 2-7.

KU highlights: Alex DeLeon, Kevin Kuntz, two hits.

Santana carries Mets, 4-3 The Associated Press

Mets 4, D’backs 3 NEW YORK — Johan Santana won for the first time in 20 months, finally getting some run support from his teammates, and New York beat Arizona on Saturday to snap a four-game losing streak.

Mike Nickeas and Andres Torres each hit a two-run single to back Santana, who toughed out seven innings for his first victory since the two-time Cy Young Award winner had shoulder surgery in September 2010. Daniel Murphy went 4 for 4 for the Mets.

Santana’s last win came against Atlanta on Sept.

2, 2010, before his injury wiped out last season. The Mets had scored just four runs in his first five starts this year but matched that total in the fourth inning Saturday.

KANSAS CITY’S ALEX GORDON (4) AND JARROD DYSON CELEBRATE after being driven home on a double by Billy Butler during the first inning. The Royals went on to beat the Yankees, 5-1, on Saturday in Kansas City, Mo.

Paulino stifles Yanks

Royals relish wire-to-wire, 5-1 victory over New York KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — Ned Yost wasn’t sure whether the Kansas City Royals needed a relatively easy wire-to-wire win to finally exhale after an often-difficult start to the season.

The one thing Yost did know: He surely needed it.

“It was an extremely good game in all facets of the game,” the Royals’ manager said after a 5-1 victory over the New York Yankees on Saturday night. “It was a good day for us.”

Felipe Paulino came off the disabled list to toss six shutout innings. Billy Butler drove in three runs with a pair of well-timed doubles. Alex Gordon matched a career high with four hits, and an upand-down bullpen kept the Yankees in check the final three innings.

“We’re getting back to playing our style of baseball now,” Yost said. “We had that little rough patch and we’re starting to swing the bats a little better now.”

Russell Martin’s long homer off Jose Mijares in the seventh inning represented the only run for the Yankees. Derek Jeter went 0 for 4 and committed an error at shortstop in the first inning, while slugging first baseman Mark Teixeira also went 0 for 4 at the plate.

“You are going to go through periods,” Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. “The key to keeping your offense consistent for me is not having a bunch of guys struggle at once. Maybe having one or two and having the other guys picking you up.

That hasn’t necessarily been true.”

Paulino (1-0) retired 11 straight to start the game and did not allow a ball out of the infield until Raul Ibanez singled with one out in the fifth. Paulino gave up only four hits and walked two while striking out six in his first start of the season.

“I had my game plan,” Paulino said. “I executed

all my pitches. I’m happy because at the same time, we won the game tonight.”

Hiroki Kuroda (2-4) allowed two runs in the first inning, one earned, which kept up a strange trend.

Nine of the 18 runs the Yankees’ starter has given up this season have come in the first.

He wound up getting pulled after 4 1-3 shaky innings.

“I didn’t have all my pitchers. I didn’t have my command, either,” Kuroda said through a translator.

“I just have to be consistent.”

The Royals capitalized when Jeter misplayed a grounder by Jarrod Dyson to lead off the game. Gordon followed with a clean single to right field, and Butler delivered a scorching RBI double down the third-base line to bring home both runs.

Kansas City added another in the fifth when Gordon singled for the third straight at-bat. He was running when Butler doubled into the rightfield gap, allowing him to score from first.

“You can’t always get it done,” Butler said, “but it was good to get it done tonight.”

The Royals added on to their cushion in the sixth.

Light-hitting Chris Getz

drew a leadoff walk and Alcides Escobar followed with a base hit, putting runners on the corners.

Dyson’s shallow fly to left field was enough to score Getz, and Gordon’s double moments later gave Kansas City a 5-0 lead.

The way Paulino was pitching, that was more than enough.

After starting the season on the DL with a strained right forearm, Paulino came out flashing a 96 mph fastball that befuddled the Yankees.

He didn’t allow a baserunner until Alex Rodriguez walked with two outs in the fourth, and Paulino didn’t allow a hit until the fifth.

After working out of that trouble, he got some help from Jeff Francoeur in the sixth.

Curtis Granderson doubled to lead off the inning, but he should have known better than to run on the Royals’ right fielder. Francoeur settled under a fly ball by A-Rod and then made a pinpoint throw to punch out Granderson tagging up for third base.

It was Francoeur’s American League-leading fifth outfield assist and the 102nd of his career. He followed up by making a sliding grab on a fly ball by Teixeira to end the inning.

“I got a text from a friend of mine after the game that says Jeff has thrown out more people than a Bourbon Street bouncer,” Yost said, “which is kind of true.”

Notes: Martin finished 3 for 4. ... Yankees OF Nick Swisher (hamstring) took batting practice and ran the bases before the game.

Girardi said Swisher could play today. ... Royals RHP Greg Holland (ribcage) felt good after a 25-pitch bullpen session. He’s expected to start a rehab assignment Tuesday at Double-A Northwest Arkansas. ... RHP Phil Hughes will pitch the series finale today for New York. RHP Luke Hochevar gets the nod for the Royals.

Oklahoma City completes sweep of Mavs DALLAS (AP) — Oklahoma City kept picking and rolling, and James Harden kept making plays.

Instead of giving in and being content going home for a Game 5, the Thunder now are waiting for their next series. Oklahoma City rallied for a 103-97 victory Saturday night to complete a first-round series sweep of the defending NBA champion Dallas Mavericks.

Harden scored 15 of his 29 points in the fourth quarter, including seven in a row and nine in the Thunder’s 12-0 run after they trailed by 13 points with 9:44 left.

“I got into attack mode,” Harden said. “I was determined to make plays.”

After the Harden-fueled surge over 3 minutes got the Thunder within a point, they finally took the lead — and kept it — when Russell Westbrook stole the ball from Dirk Nowitzki and passed to Serge Ibaka for a twohanded slam that made it 92-91 with 5:17 left.

“He beat us in individual drives, beat us in pick and rolls. He got up a head of steam and was great,” Mavs coach Rick Carlisle said of Harden. “We tried everything, five or six dif-

ferent coverages going.

We needed to be better but it was more about how good he was.”

Dallas is the second defending champion in five years to be swept in the first round. After beating the Mavericks in the 2006 NBA Finals, Miami lost in four games to Chicago the next year.

Kevin Durant had 24 points and 11 rebounds for the Thunder, who will play the winner of the series between the Los Angeles Lakers and Denver. The Lakers lead that first-round series 2-1 going into Game 4 tonight in Denver.

“This goes without saying, I’m excited we won the series,” coach Scott Brooks said. “James had an incredible game” Even when Harden bobbled the ball in the fourth quarter after Oklahoma City took the lead, Derek Fisher ended up with it and drove for a layup to make it 96-91. Nowitzki then had a shot that hit the rim a couple of times before falling out.

Nowitzki had 34 points, including all six of his free throws after that. But he also missed a couple of shots in that span, all that were close but not good.

With their 20-something All-Star duo of Durant and Westbrook along with the late-season addition of Fisher, who won five NBA titles with the Los Angeles Lakers, the Thunder got the franchise’s first four-game playoff sweep since 1996.

That’s when they were still the Seattle SuperSonics and swept the Houston Rockets in a secondround series.

Oklahoma City finished off the Mavs without starting center Kendrick Perkins, who left the game with 4:09 left in the first quarter with a right hip strain.

Pacers blow lead, survive in OT ORLANDO, FLA. (AP) — The Indiana Pacers have looked like a team with enough talent to win in the playoffs.

After wasting a big lead in Game 4 against the Magic, the Pacers showed they have the late-game toughness to win as well.

George Hill hit a pair of free throws with 2.2 seconds left in overtime to help Indiana survive squandering a 19-point fourth-quarter lead and beat the Orlando Magic, 101-99, on Saturday to take a 3-1 lead in the first-round series.

David West scored 26 points, including 12 in the third quarter and four in overtime for Indiana.

Danny Granger added 21 points.

The Pacers won their third straight game and will try to close out the Eastern Conference series Tuesday in Indianapolis and get out of the opening round for the first time since 2005.

“They did a great job of coming back,” said Granger, who returned to the game in the fourth quarter after spraining his right knee in the third. “That was a momentum win.

They had a lot of momentum going. We’re lucky to get out of here.”

Spurs take 3-0 lead SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Tony Parker scored 27 points, including 16 in the fourth quarter, as the San Antonio Spurs defeated the Utah Jazz, 102-90, Saturday night to take a 3-0 lead in their first-round NBA Western Conference playoff series.

No NBA team has ever overcome an 0-3 deficit to win a best-of-seven series.

The Spurs can close it out Monday night in Salt Lake City.

Al Jefferson and Devin Harris scored 21 apiece for Utah, while Derrick Favors added 15 points, 11 rebounds and two blocks in his most extensive action of the series.

The Jazz trailed by as many as 13 in the fourth quarter but cut it to five only to see Parker take charge. He made all five field goals and all six free throws in the final frame.

ORLANDO’S CHRIS DUHON, LEFT, AND INDIANA’S DARREN COLLISON scramble for a loose ball. The Pacers defeated the Magic, 101-99 in overtime, Saturday in Orlando, Fla., to take a 3-1 series lead.

Vogel echoed that fortunate feeling, but said he also likes being in the spot his team is in now.

“Yeah, it’s a good place to be,” he said. “We feel like we can get a win on our home court. It’s tough to get a road win anywhere against anyone in the playoffs. To come in here in a tough environment and get two, it just speaks volumes of our guys’ resiliency.”

Orlando had a final

chance to tie the game in the closing seconds, but Glen Davis’ fade away jumper bounced off the side of the rim.

Jason Richardson led the Magic with 25 points and Davis added 24 points and 11 rebounds.

The Magic now head to Indiana staring at the possibility of their second consecutive first-round postseason exit as they continue their tumble since Dwight Howard’s

season-ending back surgery late in the regularseason. Including the regular-season, Orlando is 5-11 without the all-star center.

Only eight teams have been able to wipe out 3-1 deficits in NBA history, the last being Phoenix against the Los Angeles Lakers in 2006.

“You wish just one of those shots could’ve dropped because I thought our guys worked

really, really hard,” Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said. “We had some really, really bad stretches in that game, but we kept coming ... We’re down 3-1 and it’s a matter of mindset and whether you think you’re still in the series or not.”

The Pacers started the extra period with six straight points, including four by West.

Richardson responded with a three to make it 95-92, and Jameer Nelson fouled out Roy Hibbert with his three-point play following a Pacers’ miss to tie it.

Hill hit two free-throws on the other end to put Indiana back on top, but Davis tied it again with a twisting layup.

Clippers hold on against Grizzlies LOS ANGELES (AP) — If the Los Angeles Clippers hadn’t been so inept at the free-throw line, Rudy Gay’s last-second shot wouldn’t have mattered.

Chris Paul had 24 points and 11 assists and highflying Blake Griffin added 17 points for the Clippers, who beat the Memphis Grizzles, 87-86, Saturday only after Gay missed a three-pointer just before the buzzer.

“That’s the way we planned it,” Paul joked.

“They aren’t going to give us anything. They’re never out of the game with an electrifying scorer like Rudy Gay.” The Clippers won their first home playoff game in six seasons to take a 2-1 series lead in the Western Conference playoffs.

Game 4 is Monday night.

The long-suffering Clippers fans, who turned Staples Center into a sea of red, very easily could have gone home disappointed. Paul hit a fade-

away jumper with 2:02 left for an 82-80 lead. On the next possession he had a no-look bounce pass to Griffin coming in off the baseline for a monster slam.

Trailing 86-80 after two free throws by Paul, Gay hit a three-pointer with 12.9 seconds left, Memphis’ first field goal since 7:10. After Los Angeles missed three of four free throws, Gay hit another three-pointer with 8.9 seconds to hush the crowd.

Eric Bledsoe missed two more free throws, Gilbert Arenas rebounded for Memphis to set up Gay’s final shot. Gay, who had 24 points, got some room to shoot, and quickly let go. But it the shot bounced off the rim.

“At the end of the game I wanted to make a quick play,” Gay said.

Memphis had another big advantage at the free throw line, like it did in winning Game 2, but couldn’t capitalize. The

Grizzlies made 30 of 39 while the Clippers were just 13 of 30.

“We missed 17 free throws?” Paul said. “We did? It shows how much fight we have. It’s unacceptable.”

Paul did his part at the line, making, seven of eight. But Griffin missed six of nine while Reggie Evans missed six of eight.

Memphis had seemingly taken the crowd out of the game in the third quarter, when it outscored the Clippers 25-14 to take a 7164 lead.

The Clippers’ lull extended into the fourth quarter. Marc Gasol made a field goal with 7:10 left for a 77-71 lead, but that was Memphis’ last basket until the first of Gay’s two three-pointers in the closing seconds.

“We shut down and only scored 15 points in the fourth quarter,” Memphis coach Lionel Hollins said. “ We took too many quick shots and gave up

second-chance points. We gave them the back door and Blake took advantage of it.”

Said Gay: “We missed a couple plays we wish we had back. We had a couple letdowns. “ The Clippers, who rallied from 27 down to win the opener on Sunday night at Memphis, started this comeback with just more than four minutes to go.

Lakers missed chance for a knockout punch Bill Plaschke Los Angeles Times

DENVER — Was it altitude, or attitude?

Were the Los Angeles Lakers breathless, or bored?

Championship-caliber NBA teams finish off first-round playoff series as quickly and efficiently as possible, understanding that the quicker they get off the floor in early May, the stronger and healthier they will be in early June.

Does what happened at the Pepsi Center on Friday mean that these Lakers are not a championship-caliber team?

Or were they just being lazy, which is absolutely crazy?

Whatever it was, it was a huge splotch of ugly on the Lakers’ emerging postseason tableau.

Despite not having a lead in the first two games of this series, the Denver Nuggets raced to a 41-17 edge early here — that is not a misprint — and eventually rolled to a 9984 victory.

“Obviously, I would like to have seen us come out with a lot more energy,” said Lakers Coach Mike Brown.

It’s one thing to lose a hard-fought game to an equal opponent. It’s quite another to fail to show up for what could have essentially been a series-clinching game against an outmanned opponent playing its first game in front of a home crowd that didn’t show up all that enthused. It’s one thing for the Lakers to lose this game, it’s another for them to fail to even compete for large stretches of it.

Bulls’ Noah likely sidelined The Chicago Tribune

PHILADELPHIA — Doug Collins has pointed out Joakim Noah’s importance to the Chicago Bulls numerous times throughout the playoffs. Now it appears the Bulls will be playing without him.

Noah remained on crutches Saturday, a day after severely spraining his left ankle in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals. He is doubtful today for Game 4 at the Wells Fargo Center with the 76ers holding a 2-1 series lead.

“Noah getting hurt obviously was a huge factor,” the 76ers coach said Saturday, referring to his team’s ability to pull out a 79-74 victory Friday.

“He’s another playmaker

for them on the floor. And he gives them second-shot opportunities around the basket that they missed out on.

“We were able to take advantage of a little fatigue and the fact that they lost another key player.”

The 76ers already have taken advantage of the Bulls playing without reigning MVP Derrick Rose, who tore his left ACL in Game 1. Players such as guard Jrue Holiday have been able to conserve energy on defense because they don’t have to chase Rose.

With Noah likely out today, the 76ers might have a better chance on the boards. They were outrebounded 49-43 Friday.

The Bulls obviously lost some of their effective-

ness on the glass when Noah sprained his ankle.

“Just to watch him — I don’t like to look at that but he stepped on that baby (and) that ankle went all the way to the floor,” Collins said.

Center Spencer Hawes figured Noah’s injury was serious.

“He wasn’t moving too well,” Hawes said. “Any time someone goes down like that. ... I saw the replay on SportsCenter. You feel bad for him. And hats off to him. It was gutsy trying to come back out there. But you could tell right away that it wasn’t there.”

Noah averaged 15 points and a team-high 9.3 rebounds, and three assists in the first three games of the series.

KENTUCKY DERBY

.

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

David J. Phillip/AP Photo

JOCKEY MARIO GUTIERREZ RIDES I’LL HAVE ANOTHER TO VICTORY in the Kentucky Derby on Saturday at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Ky.

Derby party starts early on infield LOUISVILLE, KY. (AP) — The party started early at Churchill Downs for Joe Ochsner, who was sipping a morning beer on the sweaty track infield and picking his horses for the Kentucky Derby. Thrifty travel plans freed up more cash for drinking and betting on a steamy first Saturday in May. Ochsner, who skipped the Derby during the height of the economic downturn, got together with four friends to kick in $175 apiece to cover the cost of using another pal’s RV. They parked near the track and spent the week in the area.

“It beats a hotel,” said the 43-year-old from St. Louis, who said he was already awash in cash from winnings at a nearby casino boat in Indiana. He planned to invest some of his casino windfall in his Derby favorite, Bodemeister.

“This is my favorite thing to do,” said Ochsner, whose horse was later chased down in the home stretch by I’ll Have Another.

America’s most famous horse race spurred a holiday mood among the massive crowd that gathered to bet, drink, eat and check

out the finery. Mint juleps flowed and colorful hats were plentiful. Fashions ranged from cutoffs and bikini tops to pricey suits and low-cut sun dresses.

The 138th rendition of the Derby drew a record crowd of 165,307 people who crammed into the iconic track to watch the race. The huge throng beat the previous record Derby crowd of 164,858 last year.

The festive scene began as soon as the gates opened Saturday morning.

Debbie Rankin, a 54-year-old bookkeeper

from Staunton, Ill., was buying two juleps at a time to cut down on trips to the vending stand. She and a friend expected to spend up to $1,500 combined for their trip to Kentucky.

“It’s our vacation,” she said. “This is what we like to do, so we do it. We don’t care.”

Early-morning rain left the grounds soggy, but they dried under overcast skies. Humidity kicked in by afternoon, and highs reached the 80s. By afternoon, tents had popped up throughout the sunsplashed infield.

Laura Snyder was mak-

ing her maiden trip to the Derby — a last hurrah before getting married this month.

The 26-year-old from Cleveland set up an infield tent with her five bridesmaids.

“We came here for a good time, to have a blast,” said Snyder, who wore a blue T-shirt with the word “bride” printed on it.

Her friends, some sporting straw cowboy hats, wore blue T-shirts with the word “bridesmaid” on them. The group avoided the cost of a hotel by staying with a friend.

T.J. Mehan of Colum-

bus, Ohio, gathered under an infield tent with friends from Ohio, Indiana and Louisiana. Infield tickets, which went for $50 each on race day, made the event affordable, said the 36-year-old Mehan.

“Next to the Indianapolis 500, this is the best tailgate party ever conceived,” Mehan said.

Mehan and friends planned to bet on horses, but were learning the sport on the fly.

“We’re going to throw some horse names in a hat and pick,” Mehan said.

“This is a whole new experience for me.”

It was another chapter in Gutierrez’s unusual route to the Derby winner’s circle. He followed in his father’s footsteps as a jockey, getting on quarterhorses in Veracruz, Mexico, at 14. After a stint in Canada, he eventually started getting noticed on the West Coast, especially after winning the Santa Anita Derby last month.

“Top trainers, top owners, of course, they’re not going to know anything about me,” he said.

Still, Gutierrez was largely a mystery to the record crowd of 165,307, who didn’t know 15-1 shot I’ll Have Another or the jockey had the right stuff

Str 2-2 1-3 5-1 9-hd 3- 1⁄2 6-hd 13-21⁄2 8-11⁄2 4-11⁄2 7-1 10- 1⁄2 15-11⁄2 17-2 16- 1⁄2 12- 1⁄2 14-2 11-2 19-14 18-3 20

until the 20-horse field turned for home. That’s when Gutierrez, who moved up between horses around the final turn, positioned his colt not far from the rail and set him down to run.

“I know my horse was reaching every single step of the way, but I wasn’t going to stop riding until I was passing the wire,” he said. “That is when the horse race is finished.”

I’ll Have Another overhauled a tiring Bodemeister to win by 1 1-2 lengths.

He paid $32.60, $13.80 and $9. He ran 1 1-4 miles in 2:01.83.

Bodemeister, trained by three-time Derby winner Bob Baffert, was second and returned $6.20 and $5.60 as the 4-1 favorite.

Dullahan was a neck back in third and paid $7.20 to show.

O’Neill didn’t waste any

time vowing that I’ll Have Another will go on to the Preakness in two weeks.

“Maryland, here we come, baby!” he said.

They’ll go to Pimlico as one of the favorites as a result of I’ll Have Another’s Derby win and his catchy name. It has nothing to do with alcohol; it’s Reddam’s response to his wife’s nightly query of “Do you want any more cookies?” as he lounges on the couch.

It’s an offer the portly Reddam rarely refuses.

Union Rags, the 5-1 second choice, never had a chance. He got pinched at the start and was trapped between rivals. Gemologist, the 8-1 third choice, lost for the first time in six starts, finishing 16th.

Hansen, the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile winner and 2-year-old champion, faded to ninth.

RECEIVERS COACH ROB IANELLO WATCHES OVER WARM-UPS during a morning practice on April 19 at Memorial Stadium. Ianello says he’s coaching KU’s receivers like they’re “freshmen” in coach Charlie Weis’ system.

Big Three, then who?

OK, so we now know — whether we agree with the NCAA’s decision or not — that Kansas University sophomore wide receiver Justin McCay, a transfer from Oklahoma, will have to sit out the 2012 season and will not be eligible to play again until 2013, when he’ll be a junior.

It’s a tough break for McCay, for sure, but it does not cripple the KU offense. Not at all.

Based on what they did this spring, along with what they’ve done in the past, it looks as if seniors D.J. Beshears, Daymond Patterson and Kale Pick will be three of the guys who catch passes from Dayne Crist this fall.

The question now becomes — who will join them? I had thought all along that McCay would be that guy, but now that he’s out, let’s look at some other candidates, in no particular order.

ON THE NEXT FEW PAGES,OUR PANEL CONTEMPLATES “WHAT WOULD JOHN BROWN DO?”

The radical 19th century abolitionist defended Lawrence from raiders, fought to make Kansas a free state and spilled blood to raid a U.S. military arsenal in hopes of sparking a rebellion to end slavery. In this 150th anniversary year of the Civil War, John $3 Brown is now a Lawrence icon whose image appears on many front license plates and at the occasional University of Kansas sporting event. But is that a good thing? In short, is John Brown a hero for our times?

We assembled a panel of John Brown experts and questioned them about Lawrence and John Brown. The questions and their answers are a sometimes humorous attempt to ask WWJBD? (What Would John Brown Do?) if

he pulled a Rip Van Winkle and strolled across Massachusetts Street. But they are equally a serious examination of one of Lawrence’s most controversially important figures and our assessment of his legacy.

“This kind of reflection,” explains historian and panel member Napoleon Crews, “is important to helping us understand how we got to be where we are, as a society and as a country, on important issues such as human and civil rights.”

“I personally think he is one of the most important figures in American history,” adds fellow historian and panel member Kerry Altenbernd. “That’s the thing about John Brown—he does not go away.”

Altenbernd: Even if he didn’t drink himself, he would not have been so dogmatic as to shun those that did imbibe, so he would likely go with you to Free State.

Armitage: If he downed a John Brown in front of the plaque at the Free State Brewery, he could draw a crowd and ask all to mend their ways in the moral cause of the day.

Gridley: John Brown, being a Calvinist and Puritan, I imagine would abstain from downing the Kansas ale named in his honor. He wasn’t a killjoy, though.

makes a ton of catches and has a lot of production. He is a big target. The quarterbacks were really excited when they saw him on his visit, and they weren’t alone.”

With all of those options and playing time limited, one might think KU’s receivers are a cutthroat group of me-first players. Not true.

“Right when I transitioned to wide receiver, I realized how talented our group is,” Pick said. “We have guys that can run, we have guys that are strong.

We have a combination of skills that makes our group really special. We have a lot of kids who can play, and I think we’ll be able to show that in the fall.”

and McCay a chance to develop great chemistry.

McCay’s absence from this year’s lineup also gives several other KU receivers an easier chance to break into the top tier.

Guys like Christian Matthews, JaCorey Shepherd and Chris Omigie each has logged meaningful playing time in the past. One wildcard in the bunch figures to be incoming juniorcollege transfer Josh Ford.

Ford, 6-foot-4, 195 pounds, comes to KU from Arizona Western CC, and he comes with high praise from his future head coach.

“Another guy that excited me a lot was Josh Ford,” Weis said on signing day in February. “A tall guy that runs fast and

up on the practice field,” receivers coach Rob Ianello said. “But they’re all freshmen in our offense.

And I’m coaching them all as freshmen.”

Asked what it takes to stand out in Weis’ offense, Ianello rattled off a laundry list of factors.

“There’s a lot of variables,” Ianello said.

“Knowing what to do is obviously very important. We’re just looking for guys to develop into complete players. Complete players know what to do, complete players play physical, they block, they make hard catches, they are really committed to being good technicians and running routes.”

Added Crist: “Tons of guys have been making plays out there. Every day we’re looking at a receiver and saying, ‘Hey, his stock’s rising.’”

One guy whose stock fell this week is sophomore Justin McCay, a transfer from Oklahoma who on Wednesday learned that his request for a hardship waiver had been denied by the NCAA for a second time. Had the NCAA granted the waiver, McCay would have been able to play immediately instead of sitting out a year. Instead, McCay will join BYU transfer and potential KU quarterback of the future Jake Heaps in sitting out the 2012 season.

Though disappointing, that should give Heaps

Local artist’s N.Y. exhibit draws on personal tragedy, cycles of life

Lawrence artist Darin White is always thinking about the opportunities of life. His latest exhibition, “Overflow,” which he displayed last month at the Soapbox Gallery in Brooklyn, N.Y., focused on life cycles.

It’s not an abstract concept for White, 39, who created the show as part of what he calls a healing series after his 5-year-old son Caden died of neuroblastoma three years ago.

“I think that it’s part of the healing process, and as an artist it’s important to explore and share and ask questions about things you see in life that are important,” I think that White says. “Those it’s part of the are treasures, pearls, healing process, even through this tragand as an artist edy of losing a son.”

For White the art’s concept is the key.

“To me, it starts with both the visual and the concept, and really telling the story of the concept in the visual,” White says.

His strong sense of what is important in his art makes White a standout to his former teacher, John Hachmeister.

“His art is about what’s really important to him. He’s not nearly as interested in what’s trendy in art. He’s developed his own style and trajectory in the art world, and he sticks to it,” says Hachmeister, an associate professor of art at Kansas University.

n case you haven’t heard, Mother’s Day is next Sunday. And, while most of you might not give it another thought until Saturday, I’m proffering some learned Mother’s Day advice, especially if the mom in your life is “of a certain age.”

First, to spouses, partners or significant others: In my opinion, it’s the kid’s responsibility to give Mom a gift.

This does not, however, let you off scot-free. Your job is to make the reservations. Be it brunch or dinner, call her favorite restaurant NOW! Don’t delay. Believe me, there’s nothing worse than spending your Mother’s Day in a hot Laura Ashley jumper, waiting two hours for a Chi-

nese buffet with a screaming toddler because SOMEONE failed to make a reservation.

(Sorry, dear. I’ve forgiven, but I’ll never forget.)

If you plan to stay in and cook a memorable meal for Mom, she’ll love you for it. But

please adhere to the principles followed by the Boy Scouts of America and other environmentally conscious campers called “Leave No Trace.” Be prepared with all the ingredients (don’t forget the wine), chop and slice on proper surfaces, minimize the impact of fire, and dispose of waste properly. And do the dishes.

The last thing Mom wants to do Monday morning is clean up your earnest but inexperienced attempt at stir-fry.

Now, let’s discuss that allimportant gift, the thing that says, “Thank you, Mom, for enduring two days of induced labor, only to suffer an emergency C-section resulting in a raging suture infection two weeks later, the day before the

baptism.” (Sorry. I’m apparently having ’80s flashbacks.)

The gift doesn’t have to be big or expensive. But it must meet certain criteria in that it shouldn’t inconvenience, embarrass or tick Mom off: !"Avoid clothing at all costs.

You’re probably not going to get the size right. And, if you do, you don’t want to give Mom something she’ll feel obligated to wear in public, especially if it’s something seen on the “Real Housewives of New Jersey.”

(Dad, here’s where parental supervision pays off. Tell the kids to stick to gift cards instead.

More on that later.) !"Accessories are a better bet, but don’t give a trendy Please see BOOMER, page 2C

Groundbreaking to set stage for new Theatre Lawrence facility

By Sara Shepherd sshepherd@ljworld.com

Theatre Lawrence will break ground this week on its new facility, which has its leaders counting down the days until they’ll escape routine scenarios like this one: Last week, the group members had a late-afternoon meeting with an architect in the lower level of the retrofitted church the group now calls home, executive director Mary Doveton says. They had to end the meeting so a children’s class upstairs could move downstairs, enabling an adult tapdancing class to begin and finish in the upstairs space before actors showed up to rehearse “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.”

“Right now we are so

“All of our programs are just jammed into this very small space. We’re turning kids away from children’s programs. We have things stored at three separate locations around town.

We’ve had to add perfor-

mances to shows this year — we’ve sold out three of our productions.”

The public is invited to the groundbreaking ceremony, scheduled for 4:30 p.m. Thursday at 4660 Bauer Farm Drive.

The site is in the Bauer

Farm development at Sixth Street and Wakarusa Drive. Doveton hopes the new building will open in a year.

It will be the first time Theatre Lawrence, which celebrated its 35th anniversary last month, has had a home designed just for it.

In its first show, the troupe formerly known as Lawrence Community Theater performed “The Secret Affairs of Mildred Wild” in the Carnegie Library building at 200 W. Ninth St., Doveton says.

Then they squeezed in shows wherever they could, including South Park and even the Teepee Junction.

The group bought the church at 1501 N.H. in 1984 and had its first show there in 1985. Plans for the new building call for

a 300-seat theater with dressing rooms and offices, plus an education wing with classrooms and outdoor space.

To build the new facility, Theatre Lawrence raised about $6.5 million, a feat Doveton describes as a “phenomenal” community effort. In addition to private donors, the Lawrence City Commission and the Douglas County Commission each pledged $100,000 to the project over the next five years, helping Theatre Lawrence exceed its initial fundraising goal of $6.2 million.

Doveton says building costs have gone up since plans were first announced.

The $6.5 million would pay for only construction of the building, and the theater would continue raising

money for furnishings and equipment.

The late George Woodyard, a Spanish professor and former dean of international studies at Kansas University, helped lead Theatre Lawrence’s fundraising campaign, and his sister Mabel Woodyard’s estate donated $1 million to the effort.

Eleanor Woodyard said space afforded by the new facility would help achieve her husband’s vision of exposing everybody — “young to old, rich to poor” — to theater.

“This building should be a wonderful facility for everybody in the community, to use and to come and enjoy,” she said.

A music program that pairs children with senior citizens has garnered the Lawrence Children’s Choir a national award.

The choir received Chorus America’s 2012 Education Outreach Award for best collaborate program, which comes with $2,500.

The choir’s multigenerational program brings together its youngest and oldest singers, pairing preschool through third-grade singers with members of the Crescendo elder choir, featuring singers ages 76 to 96.

The combined group’s performances include special programs within the two retirement communities where the seniors live.

According to a news release from Chorus America, the Lawrence program strengthens the choir’s ties in the community and fills a need for creative stimulation among the seniors, some of whom experience dementia and minimal access to the performing arts.

The Education Outreach Award will be presented with a number of other honors during Chorus America’s annual conference June 13-16 in Minneapolis.

The Lawrence Cultural Arts Commission has selected five arts projects to receive grants totaling $7,200 in the 17th Annual Community Arts Grant competition.

“This grant program is predicated on the belief that the arts are essential to the proper functioning of our community,” said Kathy Porsch, LCAC chairwoman.

The winners are: ! Douglas County Senior Services Inc., given $2,000 for its oral history quilt project, led by Marla Jackson; ! Family Promise of Lawrence, given $500 for its Family Art Nights, led by Becky Peters ! Four Winds Native Center, given $1,700 for its indigenous youth dance troupe project, led by Cameron Whitaker ! Lawrence Busker Festival, given $2,000 for its annual event, led by Richard Renner ! Van Go Inc., given $1,000 for its JAMS Summer Benchmark Session, led by Lynne Green.

The awards will be given out by Porsch and Mayor Bob Schumm at the Lawrence City Commission meeting May 15 at City Hall.

Author and former Baker University professor Robert Fraga will give a reading at 7 p.m. Friday at the Raven, 8 E. Seventh St. Fraga’s book, “The Greening of Oz: Sustainable Architecture in the Wake of a Tornado,” is about the rebuilding of Greensburg and how both the tornado and issues surrounding sustainability affected the residents of the town.

The book launched May 4, the fifth anniversary of the EF5 tornado that hit Greensburg, and is published by Wasteland Press.

environment to talk about their work, to bounce ideas off each other,” White says.

The Whites also run their own company, Display Direct, which makes interior structures for commercial spaces.

Although Darin White’s primary medium tends to be sculpture, he also works with others, such as drawing, print-making and painting.

Growing up, he always loved art but didn’t realize it was a career option until much later.

“I was always doodling on the side of my page in school,” he says. “It’s a labor of love to be an artist.

It’s usually not very lucrative ... if I had to make a choice of not producing art, it would be denying part of myself.”

Lately, White, a member of the Lawrence Cultural Arts Commission, has focused more on the curating side of art but says he’d like to exhibit his own work more.

His decision to stay in Lawrence makes White different from many of his peers.

“This is not the easiest place to succeed, and he is. He’s tenacious, and he’s made wise decisions in his art career,” Hachmeister says.

BOOKS A pep rally for reading Why James Patterson cares about kids’ habits

By Scott Eyman Palm Beach Post

Mary Halloran, retired, Lawrence “I love reading international mysteries.”

Tom Wiles, retired, Lawrence “Plato’s ‘Republic.’”

Drew Pierce, cook, Lecompton “‘Prince Caspian’ by C.S. Lewis.”

Jake Bishop, between jobs, Lawrence “I’m reading comic books today — wonderful graphic novels, actually.

A good way to spend an afternoon.”

Gloria McKienney, rancher, Englewood “I’m looking through genealogy records.”

PALM BEACH, FLA. — He is one of the most successful writers in the world, so he knows how to grab attention, but then that’s a primary reason he’s one of the most successful writers in the world.

Facing an auditorium full of innately restless middle school teenagers at Suncoast High School in Riviera Beach, Fla., James Patterson begins by saying: “Hi. I’m Stephen King.”

Big laugh.

“I tell stories,” he continues. “It’s a good job. I recommend it highly. I make more money than LeBron James. I obnoxiously mention that because I grew up poor.”

At this point, rowdy adolescents clutch their free copies of Patterson’s young adult novel “Maximum Ride” and listen intently as he gives a prescription for success in writing, or, beyond that, life.

“You have to have a dream; you have to have passion. And I strongly recommend you have a back-up dream. You have to have focus. Outline, baby. Before you write anything, outline.”

He tells them to write down the coolest story they know. The sentences might not be any good, but the important thing is to get the story down; polishing can come later.

“Reading should be fun.

You’re in middle school; you have to learn to read well — that’s the most important thing that can happen in middle school — learning to experience different points of view.”

It is a gung-ho pep talk full of Patterson’s particular brand of laconic wisdom, followed by questions and answers. He tells the kids that he was never a huge reader until high school, that he polishes his own writing at the tail end of the process, and that he should polish more.

He exits to an ovation.

Unparalleled success A few randomly chosen statistics that show why people listen when James Patterson speaks: Since 2006, one out of every 17 novels sold in America has been written or cowritten by James Patterson. He has published 95 books, more than 60 of which have been New York Times bestsellers — more than anybody in history.

No other writer has accomplished what Patterson has, extending his brand through eight, 10 or even 13 books a year, in several different genres from suspense to romance. It’s a pace possible only with co-authors, and a feat he has miraculously managed without saturating his audience.

Not everybody has greeted Patterson’s flooding of the market with open arms. Stephen King has made withering criticisms of Patterson’s novels, while Patterson has

responded with straightfaced enthusiasm for King’s work.

But people who know writing know how hard it is to do what Patterson has done.

“There is no doubt that his run has been remarkable, something never before seen,” says Michael Connelly, the Floridabased, best-selling creator of the Harry Bosch series and “The Lincoln Lawyer.” “We are talking about millions of readers coming back to his stories multiple times a year. You can look at it cynically and say it is simply just a formula, but the bottom line is that it’s storytelling and the man knows how to tell stories that people want to read. I admire that.”

Michael Pietsch is Patterson’s publisher at Little, Brown. “No writer I’ve ever read has created so many lasting characters or grasps the interlocking power of plot and emotion as Jim does,” he says.

“He pours forth stories that engross, amaze and move readers, at the same time that they plumb the emotions we all live with — the power of love, of family, of friendship, the pressure of work, the inevitability of death, the meaning of good and the presence of evil. It’s immortal stuff wrapped inside the highest level of entertainment.”

Patterson puts it another way: “I’ve never liked books that lay out information without story or narrative power.”

Patterson has made storytelling a volume business, but it didn’t happen overnight. For many years, he was just another writer with a day job; he ran J. Walter Thompson’s North American advertising operation until 1996.

His first book, “The Thomas Berryman Number,” published in 1976, won an Edgar mysterywriting award and sold 10,000 copies — respectable, but no more. (He is best known for his Alex Cross mysteries, about a Washington psychiatristdetective, which he writes himself.)

Today, in an average year, about 14 million copies of Patterson’s books are sold. According to Forbes magazine, Patterson earns Hachette, the corporate parent of Little, Brown, about $250 million a year, and as far as the author is concerned, his books have financed a Palm Beach life for his wife and family that includes a $17 million mansion.

With a separate unit within Little, Brown for the production and publicity for his books, Patterson has hurled himself into a movement to get kids to read with the same military precision with which he organizes his publishing program.

Inspiring kids It’s all an outgrowth of a program he called “Read, Kiddo, Read,” which he started to get his son, Jack, reading after observing him not reading “with his

Challenges abound in ‘No Time Like the Present’ by Nadine Gordimer

By Susan Salter Reynolds Newsday

Nadine Gordimer, born in a mining town near Johannesburg in 1923, has written 37 books, including “No Time Like the Present,” her 16th novel. Her life is woven into South Africa’s

— the landscape, the people, the politics — in ways we rarely see anymore, by which I mean that literature and politics have gone their separate ways for a while.

Gordimer joined the African National Congress in 1960, when it was illegal to do so. When Nelson Mandela was released from

prison in 1990, Gordimer was one of the first people he asked to see.

She won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1991, and has followed the life of post-apartheid South Africa with every tool at her disposal: essay, short story, novel and nonfiction.

“No Time Like the Present”

expresses many things: pride, yes, in her country, but a great deal of disappointment, too.

It begins as an Adam and Eve story. Steve Reed, white South African boy, and Rebecca Jabulile (Jabu), black South African girl from Zululand, have married and live with their little

girl, Sindiswa, in an apartment in Johannesburg.

It is Gordimer’s best novel since her first, “The Lying Days,” written in 1953. Age brings wisdom, but not necessarily softening. If anything, she has whittled her expectations to a spear point.

Film festival will try to bridge gap between artists, audience

By Eric Melin

Award-winning filmmakers both local and national will descend upon Lawrence to be a part of a brand-new event that hopes to bring a sense of community and open dialogue to the area’s music and visual arts scene.

The first Free State Film Festival is a weekend-long event to be held next Friday through Sunday at the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 N.H. The festival will feature some of the best new short and feature-length films from prominent local filmmakers, as well as new movies coming off recent success at the Sundance Film Festival and SXSW. In addition, there will be a number of receptions, Q&A sessions with directors following the screenings, and Saturday afternoon coffee talks centered on filmmaking, theater and art in general that are meant to open up a dialogue between those who make art and those who enjoy it.

If Marlo Angell, the Arts Center’s digital media specialist, has her way, the Free State Film Festival will be just one component of a far-reaching arts festival that will grow organically over the years.

“Truly I would love to see the whole city take ownership of this festival as other venues downtown step up to host additional film screenings, live music concerts and art events,” she says. “Having a first-rate university at our fingertips is a great resource that could really help push this fest to the next level.”

To expand that reach this year, Angell is teaming up with the eight-hour, 10-act Spring Into Summer Music Festival at the Replay Lounge on Saturday to offer discounts to people who attend both festivals. In addition, she has curated a Music Video Showcase and an Experimental Film Showcase, which will be running on a constant loop during the

Special to the Journal-World

A POSTER for “Corporate FM,” one of the films to be featured at next weekend’s Free State Film Festival, is pictured. film festival in the Arts Center’s Middle Gallery space.

Don’t turn that dial One person who understands the relationship between local music and communities is Kansas University graduate Kevin McKinney. His award-winning new documentary “Corporate FM” — screening at 8 p.m. Friday — mourns the death of community-oriented commercial radio at the hands of corporations.

“I think it is the sociology major in me that looks at corporate radio’s decline and asks ‘why?’

When commercial radio was locally owned, there was a connection with the community as well as with the advertisers,” McKinney says. “Locally owned radio functioned as a communal megaphone that used to help us unite our cities and cultures.”

“Corporate FM,” voted Best Documentary at the Kansas City FilmFest last month, uses the corporate buyout of Lawrence’s former modern rock station KLZR in 1998 as an example of what is wrong with the radio industry today, featuring interviews with former station owner Hank Booth and former assistant music director Jeff Peterson, among others. Even a Rolling Stone article declaring the Lazer one of the 10 “Stations That Didn’t Suck” in 1998 couldn’t save the much-

loved station, which was purchased by The Zimmer Radio Group, which ran it until 2005. Earlier this year, KLZR changed its call letters to KKSW and rebranded itself 105.9 Kiss FM. According to McKinney, local station owners in the late ’90s were under “enormous pressure” to sell their stations for “astronomical” prices. As commercial radio formats became more generic and more locally based DJs were fired, the stations stopped supporting local music scenes. For seven years, McKinney has worked on “Corporate FM,” learning more and refining his film’s thesis.

“Each interview I did gave me a clue to the next person that I needed to find to interview,” McKinney says. “It was not until kind of a Deep Throat character in the film told us to ‘follow the money’ that a surprising picture emerged as to why commercial radio has become so boring.”

Festival highlights Filmmaker Patrick Rea has been a part of the local arts community since before he graduated from KU in 2002, and he will be showing two films at the Free State Film Festival. The first, a 45-minute thriller-drama about a drug dealer and his potentially violent protégé, was shot in Lawrence and Overland Park, and features notable actors like Malcolm Goodwin (A&E’s “Breakout Kings”) and Keith Loneker (“Lakeview Terrace”). It’s called “Rhino” and will have its world premiere at 6 p.m.

Friday as the festival’s opening film.

Rea’s new featurelength horror movie, “Nailbiter,” which received top narrative honors in the Kansas City FilmFest last month, will close the festival at 7 p.m.

Sunday.

Some other highlights of the festival: !" “Compliance” is a psychological drama with a particularly thorny ethi-

cal dilemma at its heart. It caused quite a stir at Sundance, and director Craig Zobel will be available via Skype to talk about the movie after it shows at 7:30 p.m. Saturday. !" Poul Brien, director of “Charles Bradley: Soul of America,” will be attending in person to talk about the unusual late-inlife career of Bradley, the 62-year-old soul singer that inspired his new documentary. Two music videos directed by Brien for Bradley will be in the music video loop. !" “Girl Walk // All Day” is a feature-length dance video that follows three dancers across New York City and is set to the music of Girl Talk. It was screened at SXSW and made waves for director Jacob Krupnick and producer Youngna Park, who will attend via Skype. !" Writer/director Diane Glancy’s film “The Dome of Heaven” stars Wes Studi and follows a father of Cherokee descent and a German mother as they struggle to keep their dysfunctional family together. Lawrence-based company Through a Glass did much of the production work on the movie, and members will be in attendance, along with Glancy.

“We chose a slate of films that encompass that artistic goal across a variety of spectrums. I think in order for the festival to be successful it has to ride that line between local and national films,” Angell says. “We knew it was important to show these films, involve their directors and provide a unique opportunity for Lawrence to experience new cinema. We can all sit down at home and find hidden treasures on Netflix, but that communal experience of sitting down in a theater, hearing what the director has to say about making a film ... that’s priceless.”

SPRING INTO SUMMER LINEUP FEATURES 10 MUSIC ACTS, DJS The Replay Lounge’s annual Spring Into Summer event this year takes place Saturday at the venue, 946 Mass.

The day show will be held outside on the Replay’s patio from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m., and the night shows will move inside after that. There will also be DJs on the patio throughout the day and night.

This year’s event doesn’t include the Jackpot as it did in

previous years, but it does promise to bring a solid lineup of local acts.

Last year’s event led to Replay Records’ first compilation, and though there’s no definitive plan to do that again, it’s always a possibility, says Up the Academy’s Ronald Miller.

The acts in the 2012 lineup have built up their buzz, and so has the Replay, both as a venue and a label, making this a great

year for the “community of bands,” Miller says.

“It should be a lot of fun,” he said.

The day-show lineup includes: ! KC hip-hop/funk band Hearts of Darkness ! Established Lawrence indie-folk group Fourth of July ! Hip-hop artist Approach ! Newly reinvigorated The Hips ! The Recessionists

The night-show lineup includes: ! Fresh-off-a-new-release Up the Academy ! “Catchy punk” locals Mouthbreathers ! Nature Boys ! Dry Bonnet ! Brash punk two-piece Jabberjosh Tickets cost $5 for the event, which is for adults 21 and over.

Vogue bans too-skinny models from its pages

By Samantha Critchell Associated Press

NEW YORK — Vogue magazine, perhaps the world’s top arbiter of style, is making a statement about its own models: Too young and too thin is no longer in.

The 19 editors of Vogue magazines around the world made a pact to project the image of healthy models, according to a Conde Nast International announcement Thursday.

They agreed to “not knowingly work with models under the age of 16 or who appear to have an eating disorder,” and said they will ask casting directors to check IDs at photo shoots and fashion shows and for ad campaigns.

The move is an important one for the fashion world, said former model Sara Ziff, who was discovered at 14 and has since founded The Model Alliance, dedicated to improving the working conditions

MODELS HAVE THEIR MAKE-UP FINALIZED under runway light before the J. Mendel Fall 2012 collection is modeled during Fashion Week Feb. 15 in New York. The 19 editors of Vogue magazines around the world have made a pact to project the image of healthy models. of models and persuading the industry to take better care of its young.

“Most editions of Vogue regularly hire models who are minors, so for Vogue to commit to no longer using models under the age of 16 marks an evolution in the industry,” she said. “We hope other magazines and

fashion brands will follow Vogue’s impressive lead.”

American, French, Chinese and British editions of the fashion glossies are among those that will start following the new guidelines with their June issues; the Japanese edition will begin with its July book.

“Vogue believes that

good health is beautiful.

Vogue Editors around the world want the magazines to reflect their commitment to the health of the models who appear on the pages and the well-being of their readers,” said Conde Nast International Chairman Jonathan Newhouse in a statement.

Models’ health — and especially their weight — has been a lightning rod the past few years, especially after the death of two models from apparent complications from eating disorders in 2006-07, but the focus, until now, has been on runway fashion shows.

The Council of Fashion Designers of America adopted a voluntary initiative in 2007, which emphasizes age minimums and healthy working environments during New York Fashion Week, and London Fashion Week designers sign a contract with the British Fashion Council to use models who are at least 16.

What advice do you have for this year’s college graduates?

‘Remember your Creator’ The Rev. Shaun LePage, pastor, Community Bible Church, 906 North 1464 Road: How about some advice from King Solomon, son of David?

The Bible calls him the wisest man who ever lived; the greatest and wealthiest king of his day.

And the greatest failure.

As an old man he tried to warn young people not to make the same mistakes he made. Looking back on his failures, he wrote nine words every young person needs to soak up: “Remember your Creator in the days of your youth.”

Solomon started well — humble before God. But he collected women, wine and wealth. This led him astray. “Remember your Creator”? Young Solomon did just the opposite. He raised his fist to heaven and shouted, “Forget you, God! I’ll do what I want!”

But Old Solomon said, “Remember!”

Notice what he called God: “Creator.” No matter what you’ve heard, never let go of this fact: There is a Creator. You don’t get everything from nothing — only from a Creator. It’s foundational to the meaning of life. Remembering

LePage

you’re not the Creator keeps you humble.

Remembering he created you in his image will keep you from self-loath-

ing.

There’s nothing more important “in the days of your youth” (and beyond) than to “remember your Creator.” Elsewhere, Solomon wrote, “Be happy, young man, while you are young!” Youth is good.

Youth should be enjoyed.

But there are God-given parameters for how youth should be enjoyed. The Creator designed you and knows what is good, right and best for you. If you “forget” him and ignore what he said in the Bible about how to live, you can expect your life to go the same direction Solomon’s did: empty, meaningless, disastrous.

It’s timeless and precious wisdom. Never forget it: “Remember your Creator in the days of your youth.”

Know what your options are when choosing a religion Robert Minor, professor emeritus in Kansas University’s religious studies department, 1300 Oread Ave.: Everyone has advice for graduates. What advice about religion can a religious studies professor add to all this?

Well, graduate, at some point you’ll be confronting, maybe considering, one of the religions. Accept or reject it, but don’t make a few mistakes when doing so.

Whatever you decide, know about your options.

Don’t accept something as if it is your only choice just because it’s the only one you’ve heard about from the people and authorities you’ve met.

This means that every decision is going to require research. No important decisions are handed to us — their success results from personal mental work. The more important the decisions, the more they demand it.

When you listen to what people say about a religion, remember that every individual speaks only for his- or herself, their own beliefs, their own understanding of what their scriptures, traditions, and institutions say. They might claim that they speak for their god, their bible, or orthodoxy,

but there are others, in every religion, even among the recognized authorities, who disagree Minor while making identical claims to speak for more than themselves.

The history of religions demonstrates that religions change. In each version, the faithful believe their understanding is the eternal, unchanging truth, but the fact is one can find in the history of any of the so-called great religious traditions as wide a variety of interpretations and claims as there are varieties of cultures and peoples.

Finally, consider that religious decisions are more often made on the basis of other factors than intellectual ones. Crucial is geography — people are most likely to end up in the religious traditions of their community or parents.

In fact, joining a religious group is more often motivated by the person’s emotional needs for a sense of social connection and an accepting community.

AT LEFT, A BORER EXIT HOLE, POSSIBLY FROM A RED OAK BORER, is seen on a northern red oak in northwest Lawrence. The borer exit hole at right is covered with frass, or insect waste, possibly from a red oak borer, on a Chinkapin oak in rural southern Douglas County. Insects boring holes can cause a tree to fail, but steps can be taken to mitigate the damage.

orers have probably lived in native trees and shrubs in our area for as long as the trees and shrubs have grown here, but awareness of them seems to be increasing.

Rather than a testament to the insects’ personality, borers are so named for their ability to bore into and through wood. Typically an adult beetle or moth lays eggs in bark crevices or wounded areas on the tree (weed-eater wounds are favored by many).

The larvae that hatch from those eggs burrow into the wood and feed in either the cambium or the wood itself.

Borer tunnels in the cambium layer affect a tree’s ability to move water and nutrients to the leaves. Borer damage in the wood weakens the interior of the tree and increases the risk for tree failure.

Why are people paying attention to them now? Consider the last few years’ weather conditions — the ongoing drought and extreme high and low temperatures in 2011 have caused stress for trees and other plants in our area.

ical signal that attracts certain insects, including many of those classified as borers.

Stressed trees attract borers that cause damage and stress the tree more. Seeing the borers’ exit holes in the trunk alerts us to their presence, though, and it is sometimes easier to pin the blame on them over Mother Nature.

Taking steps to ensure tree health will do more for the tree than treating the secondary problem. Water trees deeply and infrequently over extended dry periods. Avoid damaging roots or the trunk of the tree.

Remove dead and damaged branches from trees as they occur. Select tree species and

THE COTTONWOOD BORER is one of the largest and most recognizable borers in Kansas. This one was collected last summer in Douglas County. varieties that are adapted to the area and climate. Purchase and transplant only healthy trees into the landscape.

Common borers in our area include cottonwood borer, redheaded ash borer, bronze birch borer, flatheaded appletree borer, locust borer, ash/ privet borer, ash/lilac borer, elm borers, and less discriminate carpenterworm moths, leopard moths and shothole borers. The red oak borer is also present in this area, although this is the first year I have observed oaks with what I believe are red oak borer exit holes.

Despite the lengthy list of

borer insect pests, many of the tree species that commonly have borer problems live a substantial life. Cottonwood trees, for example, live about 70 years, according to most forestry resources.

Ash may be less lucky, especially when planted in a tough urban environment, but may still outlast other less-adapted species.

Occasionally borers are substantial pests. The emerald ash borer is an exotic pest that was first found in Michigan and has now spread into several neighboring states.

The emerald ash borer is devastating northern forests because our native ash species cannot withstand the stress of the insects’ feeding. The ash borers we currently have in Kansas are much different than the emerald ash borer.

If you choose to use insecticides to manage borer infestations, identification of the borer species is very important for timing and product selection. Actual insects are better for identification purposes than just looking at exit holes, so try to find the larvae.

Adults are easier to identify but harder to catch. The Extension Master Gardener gar-

den hotline (843-7058) can help identify borer species and management options.

Insecticides cannot take away the damage that is done, but they can help prevent additional damage if applied properly.

There are two options: treating the bark to reduce or eliminate egg-laying, or using a soil injection or drench that the tree will uptake into its vascular system. Systemic treatments still have to applied at the right time, require adequate soil moisture to thoroughly move through the tree, and are only effective on certain tree and borer species.

More information about borers is available through the K-State Research and Extension factsheets “Borers: Common Kansas Species” and “Borers: Management and Prevention.” Factsheets are available through K-State Research and Extension — Douglas County or online through www.ksre.ksu.edu.

Doorstops hold their value nicely

By Terry Kovel

Iron doorstops are among today’s top-selling collectibles.

They are probably not propped against a door to keep it open but are instead displayed like rare porcelain figurines on a prominent shelf. The clever, colorful and often humorous doorstops favored today are made of painted cast iron.

They were first popular in the late 19th century.

Flower baskets, cottages, animals and people were the most common doorstop shapes. More than 1,000 American-made doorstops are known, and there are at least 35 different doorstops that look like Boston Terriers.

A new doorstop in 1920 cost 25 cents. Today a rare doorstop sells for more than $10,000. But most doorstops in average condition cost about $100.

Original paint is important and repainting a doorstop, no matter how battered, lowers the price. A broken

THIS “CROSSED OUT” figural doorstop in pristine condition sold for $1,725 at a 2011 Bertoia auction in Vineland, N.J. or badly damaged piece has almost no value. Many reproductions of old doorstops have been made, most of them since the 1980s. That’s when new collectors started searching for pieces for their collections.

Reproductions start out with overly bright paint, and any rust that develops on them is bright orange, not dark brown.

One unusual vintage cast-iron doorstop is a

clownish boy wearing a checkered shirt. He is standing with his legs and arms crossed. At his feet are piles of books and pamphlets. It may have been made to commemorate the New York Times Crossword Puzzle. Since the Times didn’t publish its first crossword puzzle until 1942, the doorstop wasn’t made before then.

One sold in 2008 for $4,025. In 2011 another one sold for $1,725.

Unfortunately, the music box no longer works. What can you tell me about the chair? Do you know anyone who repairs something like this?

In the mid-20th century, a few companies made childrens’ rocking chairs with music boxes. The

A:

mechanism on your chair was a feature of little rockers made by the N.D. Cass Co. of Athol, Mass.

See if you can find a Cass Toys label or mark on the chair. Anyone who repairs music boxes should be able to repair the box on your chair. We list a few in the free directory on our website, Kovels. com.

I have owned an old heating stove for years.

The name on it is “Warm Morning.” Can you give me any history?

“Warm Morning” was a trade name for heaters made by the Locke Stove Co. of Kansas City, Mo. The heaters were first sold in the early 1930s and remained popular through the ’40s. They were made to burn different fuels — wood, coal, gas or oil.

Husband is gone and not coming back Dear Annie: My exhusband and I have been officially divorced for only four months, and last week he married the girl he dated all through high school. They began dating immediately after we separated.

My ex and I have a 5-year-old son together.

At first, when he began dating, I was very upset, but I assumed his feelings for the other woman would eventually wear off and he’d come back to me. I’ve never kept our son from him, but I admit, I initially tried to make it hard for him to see our boy. I wanted him to understand that if we got back together, he would be able to spend as much time as he liked with his son. Unfortunately, that didn’t stop him from marrying his girlfriend.

I feel that my ex is choosing his new wife over our son and that he should be here for our family. Honestly, isn’t he

Should I just tell him that I want him back? — Heartbroken Single Mother Dear Heartbroken: Honey, wake up and smell the coffee. Your ex is married to someone else. He’s moved on.

It’s over. And it does not speak well of you to withhold your son to punish or manipulate him. This only hurts your child, and

‘Sherlock’ series a can’t-miss “Sherlock” (8 p.m., PBS) returns for a second season on “Masterpiece Mystery!” A cheeky, cerebral delight, “Sherlock” updates Arthur Conan Doyle’s detective series to the 21st century. Benedict Cumberbatch (“War Horse”) returns in the title role.

This series is a celebration of a great character and a nod to other television characters who have descended from Holmes. The show’s theme song owes much to the weirdly jaunty and creepy score to “Dexter.” And Cumberbatch’s petulant, frequently unhinged behavior may remind some fans of a certain doctor named House. Like Hugh Laurie’s character, Sherlock does not suffer fools, or anyone, it seems, except Dr. Watson (Martin Freeman), his trusted colleague and only friend. And even he gets his fair share of abuse. In another nod to modernity, many strangers take Holmes and Watson as a rather domesticated gay couple.

If “Sherlock” has a fault, it’s the reliance on frequent, overly clever visual tricks that show us the detective’s deductive powers at work. These quirks detract from the show’s sparkling dialogue, which is punctuated with lightning-fast verbal exchanges.

Add “Sherlock” to a growing list of Sunday’s can’t-miss series.

Tonight’s other highlights

Scheduled on “60 Minutes” (6 p.m., CBS): Whistle-blowers blast a military plane; journalists risk death to reveal corruption in rural Kentucky; Michael Phelps prepares for the London Olympics.

Regina schemes to exile Emma on “Once Upon a Time” (7 p.m., ABC).

Standup salutes its own on the second annual Comedy Awards (8 p.m., Comedy Central).

A close call for Myrcella on “Game of Thrones” (8 p.m., HBO).

Evidence leads back to the casino on “The Killing” (8 p.m., AMC).

A mad bomber threatens terror on “NYC 22” (9 p.m., CBS).

A trip to Juarez highlights the season finale of “GCB” (9 p.m., ABC).

Peggy is burdened by a secret on “Mad Men” (9 p.m., AMC).

Cesare hires mercenaries to repay the French on “The Borgias” (9 p.m., Showtime).

The press seizes on gossip about a spat with the first lady on “Veep” (9 p.m., HBO).

Tiptoeing in the dating pool on “The Client List” (9 p.m., Lifetime).

A gruesome text from Adam jolts Hannah on “Girls” (9:30 p.m., HBO).

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Sunday, May 6: This year your relationships increase in importance, and you’ll become more in tune with your interactions. You also will have more choices concerning how and with whom you relate. If you are single, you discover that a myriad of different types of people are interested in you. If you are attached, you often need time alone as a couple.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) Suddenly nearly everyone drops an offer or invitation on you.

Unless you clone yourself, you cannot accept them all. Tonight: Do not forget that person at a distance.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You might feel unusually pressured to do something, but the good news is that you have the energy and follow-through needed. Confusion might set in with friends who have a different response than you do. Tonight: With a favorite person.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Take time for yourself. A project that is close to your heart might take up a good part of the day. Tonight: If you don’t have plans, make some.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Mischief seems to bubble up from out of nowhere. The result could be a group of friends or family members who feel more bonded than they have in a long time. Tonight: Loving the moment.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Staying close to home with family members helps you recharge your batteries and adds to the element of closeness. A spontaneous idea seems too good to be true. Why

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Keep conversations moving, and you’ll get to see a whole different response. Feel free to ask questions and explore an offer you thought was not going to come.

Tonight: Make it early.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Your world is rosier because of someone’s efforts. Share the naturally good vibes that exist between you and this person. Tonight: Zero in on the apple of your eye.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You are all smiles and a lot more content than you have been in a while. Someone goes out of his or her way to make an impression on you. Tonight: Make it easy for yourself.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Maintain a low profile. You might be overthinking a situation or looking for a different approach.

Tonight: Finally energized.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You are best in group settings right now. How you handle a personal matter could change after a brainstorming session with others. Tonight: Play it low-key.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Others look to you for your leadership and opinions. You might be put on the spot when you least expect it. Tonight: Now the fun begins.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) The answers lie in your own mind. Take a drive and relax.

Brainstorm away with a respected friend. Tonight: Do not forget to check in with an older friend or relative.

IT’S CHIN THE CARDS By Henry Quarters

I do if she denies it? We are having a large family gathering soon, and I thought maybe I’d wait to see if she showed up wearing one of my pieces. — Perplexed Dear Perplexed: First, please make sure this is theft and not something else. Could you have misplaced the necklaces?

Might your niece have tried them on and returned them to the wrong place? If you are absolutely certain she took them, you should say something. Instead of an angry confrontation, however, try this: “Melanie, I noticed that several of my necklaces were missing after you stayed in our house. When you are finished borrowing them, please return them.” And of course, don’t ever let ACROSS her house-sit again.

5 charged in 9/11 attack resist Gitmo hearing

By Ben Fox Associated Press

GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, CUBA — The selfproclaimed mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks repeatedly declined to answer a judge’s questions Saturday and his co-defendants knelt in prayer in what appeared to be a concerted protest against the military proceedings.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other men appeared for the first time in more than three years for arraignment at a military tribunal at Guantanamo Bay, charged with 2,976 counts of murder for the 2001 attacks.

The hearing quickly bogged down before they could be arraigned. The men took off the earphones that provide Arabic translations and refused to answer any questions from the judge, Army Col. James Pohl, dramatically slowing a hearing that is heavy on military legal procedure.

At one point, two defendants got up and prayed alongside their defense tables under the watchful eyes of troops arrayed along the sides of the highsecurity courtroom on the U.S. base in Cuba.

Prisoner Walid bin Attash was put in a restraint chair for unspecified reasons and then removed from it after he agreed to behave. Lawyers for all defendants complained that the prisoners were prevented from wearing the civilian clothes of their choice.

KHALID SHEIKH MOHAMMED READS A DOCUMENT DURING HIS MILITARY HEARING at the Guantanamo Bay U.S. Naval Base in Cuba on Saturday in this photo of a sketch by courtroom artist Janet Hamlin and reviewed by the U.S. Department of Defense. The self-proclaimed mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks, Mohammed repeatedly declined to respond to a judge’s questions Saturday and his co-defendant Walid bin Attash was briefly restrained at a military hearing as five men charged with the worst terror attack in U.S. history appeared in public for the first time in more than three years.

Mohammed wore a white turban in court; his flowing beard, which had appeared to be graying in earlier hearings and photos, was streaked with red henna.

Mohammed’s civilian lawyer, David Nevin, said he believed Mohammed was not responding because he believes the tribunal is unfair.

Jim Harrington, a civilian attorney for Yemeni defendant Ramzi Binalshibh, said his client would not respond to questions “without addressing the issues of confinement.” No further explanation was given.

Pohl warned he would not permit defendants to block the hearing and

would continue without his participation.

“One cannot choose not to participate and frustrate the normal course of business,” Pohl said.

He addressed the earpiece issue by bringing the translators into the courtroom to translate out loud and attempted to stick to the standard script for tribunals, asking the defendants if they understood their rights to counsel and would accept the attorneys appointed for them. The men did not respond, not even to acknowledge that they understood the questions.

Through much of the session, the defendants

seemed to be trying to give the impression they were in a different world than the rest of the court.

Cheryl Bormann, a civilian attorney for bin Attash, appeared in a conservative Islamic outfit that left only her face uncovered, and she asked the court to order other women present to wear “appropriate” clothing so that defendants do not have to avert their eyes “for fear of committing a sin under their faith.”

And Binalshibh interrupted the session with an outburst from the defense table in a mix of Arabic and broken English, saying, “Maybe they will kill me and say I committed suicide.”

Six 9/11 family members were in the courtroom with the defendants while more than 100 others watched the proceedings on closedcircuit video feeds in the U.S. Jim Riches, a retired city firefighter whose son was killed at the World Trade Center, said some people blurted out “C’mon, are you kidding me?” as the defendants became more disruptive.

In the past, during the failed first effort to prosecute them at the U.S. base in Cuba, Mohammed has mocked the tribunal and said he and his co-defendants would plead guilty and welcome execution.

But there were signs that at least some of the defense teams were preparing for a lengthy fight, planning challenges of the military tribunals and the secrecy that shrouds the case.

Buffett about his health: ‘I feel terrific’ ————

Berkshire Hathaway shareholders trust CEO’s word at annual meeting

By Josh Funk Associated Press

OMAHA, NEB. — Warren Buffett worked to reassure shareholders that he’s feeling good after his recent prostate cancer diagnosis, and that Berkshire Hathaway is ready to replace the revered 81-year-old investor when the need arises.

Based on the questions Buffett got from the crowd of more than 30,000 at the company’s annual meeting in Omaha on Saturday, Berkshire shareholders are taking him at his word.

Despite the fact that Buffett just disclosed the condition last month, he didn’t face the first question about his health until well into Saturday’s questioning.

Many of the questions at the meeting either focused in on technical aspects of Berkshire’s many businesses or dealt with general economic or political top-

ics. One highlight of the discussion was the revelation that he recently attempted to make a more than $20 billion acquisition.

“I feel terrific. I love what I do,” he said. Buffett told shareholders that the survival rates for prostate cancer look so good that he thinks the diagnosis is a “non-event.”

It would hardly be the first time that Buffett’s assessment would be trusted.

Widely known as the Oracle of Omaha, Buffett, 81, is considered the greatest celebrity in investing because of his many profitable decisions.

Buffett has said his four doctors caught his cancer early, and it doesn’t represent a serious threat to his health. He plans to undergo radiation treatment in July, but the treatment should have little effect on his daily routine.

Still, the diagnosis is forcing shareholders to confront the fact that one day Buffett

will no longer be at the helm of the conglomerate, which includes an eclectic mix of companies such as Geico insurance, MidAmerican Energy, the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad, Shaw carpet, Helzberg Diamonds, the Nebraska Furniture Mart and Pampered Chef.

Several questions dealt with related topics, such as who will replace Buffett when the time comes.

Buffett told shareholders in this year’s annual letter that the board has picked someone to succeed him as CEO if the need arises immediately, and it has two backup candidates.

But Buffett hasn’t publicly identified his successor.

During the business portion of the meeting, Berkshire shareholders overwhelmingly rejected a proposal that would have required annual updates on how the company is preparing to replace Buffett.

Obama plunges into campaign, tears into Romney, agenda

By David Espo Associated Press

COLUMBUS, OHIO — Plunging into his campaign for a new term, President Barack Obama tore into Mitt Romney on Saturday as a willing and eager “rubber stamp” for conservative Republicans in Congress and an agenda to cut taxes for the rich, reduce spending on education and Medicare and enhance power that big banks and insurers hold over consumers.

Romney and his “friends

in Congress think the same bad ideas will lead to a different result, or they’re just hoping you won’t remember what happened the last time you tried it their way,” the president told an audience estimated at more than 10,000 partisans at what aides insisted was his first full-fledged political rally of the election year.

Six months before Election Day, the polls point to a close race between Obama and Romney, with the economy the overriding issue as the nation struggles to re-

cover from the worst r e c e s sion since the 1930s.

U n e m ployment remains stubbornly Obama high at 8.1 percent nationally, although it has receded slowly and unevenly since peaking several months into the president’s term. The most recent dip was due to discouraged jobless giving up their search for work.

Romney has staked his candidacy on an understanding of the economy, developed through a successful career as a businessman, and his promise to enact policies that stimulate job creation.

But Obama said his rival was merely doing the bidding of the conservative powerbrokers in Congress and has little understanding of the struggles of average Americans.

Romney “doesn’t seem to understand that maximizing profits by what-

ever means necessary, whether it’s through layoffs or outsourcing or tax avoidance, union busting, might not always be good for the average American or for the American economy,” the president said.

“Why else would he want to cut his own taxes while raising them for 18 million Americans,” Obama said of his multimillionaire opponent.

While Romney has yet to flesh out a detailed economic program, he and Republicans in Congress

want to extend all the tax cuts that are due to expire at year’s end. Obama and most Democrats want to let taxes rise for upperincome earners.

The president’s campaign chose Ohio State University and Virginia Commonwealth University for the back-to-back rallies. Obama won both states in his successful race in 2008, although both have elected Republican governors since and are expected to be hotly contested in the fall.

Romney embarking on new, evolving political balancing act

By Steve Peoples Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Mitt Romney will need independent voters in November, but he isn’t abandoning his “severely conservative” record.

The likely Republican presidential nominee has embarked on an aggressive campaign against President Barack Obama that straddles two sometimes-conflicting political ideologies.

On some days, the for-

mer Massachusetts governor is a social conservative and social moderate, a right-wing conspiracy theorist and promoter of political compromise.

With the primaries over, it’s an evolving balancing act that, so far, is leaning decidedly right.

Romney spoke out Friday against China’s “one-child policy,” in an apparent nod to social conservatives. But later in the same Fox News interview, he defended his decision to hire an openly

gay staffer who just quit under pressure from social conservatives.

Romney said he Romney hires people “not based upon their ethnicity, or their sexual preference or their gender but upon their capability.” He said that the ex-aide, Richard Grenell, who was to become foreign policy spokesman,

was a “capable individual” and that many senior campaign advisers had urged him not to leave.

But Grenell’s departure pleased some on the religious right.

The matter offered a look inside a Romney campaign that would like to broaden his appeal to the political center, while harnessing the antiObama intensity from his party’s right. It’s a tricky move, but Romney is trying to prove he won’t turn his back on his party’s

most passionate voters.

He’s devoting significant attention to skeptical conservatives who have supported his Republican rivals until recently. Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum gave up his bid last month, while former House Speaker Newt Gingrich made his departure official this past week.

“We’re moving quickly,” said Romney senior aide Peter Flaherty, who is leading the campaign’s conservative outreach.

“We are going to work very hard to continue to work with conservatives, to work with the base, to keep them energized.”

Romney on Friday met with Santorum, who has indicated he will endorse Romney. Since Santorum quit, Romney’s campaign has been recruiting former Santorum staffers and courting his key allies and donors. Romney has hired Santorum’s former campaign manager to broaden coalitions with conservative groups.
