LMH employees chip in for mutual aid ————

Time, money donated to help co-workers cover own medical expenses

By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

Michael Van Pelt can’t thank his fellow employees enough for the help they provided during his battle with head and neck cancer.

“I am still amazed at some of the things that happened,” he said. “You can imagine when a doctor tells you, ‘You have cancer,’ just everything stops, and you immediately worry about everything.”

The 61-year-old Eudora resident has worked at Lawrence Memorial Hospital as a lab courier for seven years. Every

day, he makes about 40 stops to various Lawrence offices picking up specimens. During a recent break between routes, he talked about his battle with cancer that began in August 2011 with the diagnosis, and how his co-workers helped.

First, he said, they donated hundreds of hours of paid time off so he was still able to get a paycheck while he fought cancer for five months. He had surgery followed by chemotherapy and

‘We support each other’ The money was provided through LMH’s annual Employee Campaign, which began in 2002. It’s a campaign in which employees can give a one-time donation or have a certain amount of money taken out of each paycheck to help fellow employees or patients in need. Employees have donated $556,171 to the Nick Krug/Journal-World Photo campaign since it began.

“If it had not been for that, my wife and I would have been in some financial trouble. We probably would have had to move, to tell you the truth,” he said.

Although they have health insurance, it didn’t cover everything, and so the bills starting mounting.

Van Pelt said they were making monthly payments to about a half-dozen businesses, and then the hospital provided $700 for his medical costs.

“It was a godsend,” he said.

LEAH SCHECK AND HER SON CALEB, 9, of Topeka, look at signs made from old license plates during the 51st annual Art in the Park on Sunday at South Park.

Festival drenched only in colorful ambience

By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

The 51st annual Art in the Park kicked off Sunday morning in South Park under cloudy skies with the possibility of rain and storms looming in the forecast.

“It’s been going really well, and as long as the rain stays away, I will be happy,” Jen Unekis, event coordinator and Lawrence artist, said Sunday afternoon.

Fortunately, the rain held off, and several thousand people attended the festival, which included live music, food and 136 vendors selling a variety of art. Among the offerings: scarves, jewelry, framed photographs, paintings, pottery, wooden birdhouses and clothing.

Theresa Shetler Logan, a Washburn Rural High School art teacher, made her debut in face painting at the event.

She said she practiced on her daughters, ages 10 and 6, before the event.

“It has been pretty fun,” she said with a smile.

Stephanie Benalcazar, of Lawrence, and her 2-year-old daughter, Miriam, were among her customers.

Although spirals and flowers were popular picks, Miriam wanted to be different so she chose a blue, not-soscary-looking monster for her left cheek and a blue spider for her mom. The two have attended the festival for the past few years.

“We enjoy seeing all of the local art, and we

get to play for a little bit,” Benalcazar said.

Miriam showed off the new orange bracelet and said she liked the funnel cake.

So did Lawrence resident Nancy Kelley. “It’s a once a year treat,” she said as she took her first bite. Kelley hasn’t missed the festival since moving to Lawrence 10 years ago.

“I like the festivity of it. It looks like an Old English celebration, especially with the band playing. It’s great, and I love the art. I think Lawrence attracts some of the best artists,” she said.

After taking a hiatus, Lawrence artist Constance Ehrlich returned to Art in the Park this year to show off her

Mothers talk about benefits of consuming placenta

By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

When Sarah Curtis became pregnant with her second child, she decided on a natural childbirth and worked with a midwife and two doulas. She

hoped the experience would be better than the first.

“Everything was very clinical and we felt very out of control of the situ-

ation,” she said of her first pregnancy. Postpartum, she had trouble breastfeeding and suffered from what she described as prolonged baby blues.

While doing her research for baby No. 2, the 34-year-old Olathe

resident came across the potential benefits of eating placenta after childbirth. The placenta is an organ that connects the developing fetus to the uterine wall to allow the exchange of nutrition and oxygen.

“First, we were grossed out by the whole thing like, ‘Eww, you eat your placenta. That’s so disgusting,’” she said. “But, the more we learned about it, it seemed to Please see PLACENTA, page 2A

my benefit and I am so grateful for it,” she said.

“But, I definitely think it’s a personal choice.”

Emporia resident Abigail Smith, 30, said she suffered from severe postpartum depression with her first child four years ago, so she decided to try placenta consumption with the second one.

“I didn’t have the money to encapsulate, so I did it myself at home. I was willing to try anything,” she said.

Smith delivered her second child at home last year. She said she processed the placenta within a few days after the delivery by steaming it, drying it and then cutting it up into tiny pieces. Then, she wrapped bread around the pieces, froze them and swallowed them like pills.

She was impressed with the results.

“I did not get postpartum depression. The days that I forgot to take it, I could feel my mood actually starting to swing down,” she said.

While she has no regrets about eating the placenta, she wouldn’t prepare it herself again. “I was very grossed out by it,” Smith said. She also didn’t have the proper equipment, which resulted in big and little pieces instead of one standard size.

“I strongly recommend getting someone else to do it,” she said.

make a lot of sense.”

While she knew moms who took the placenta home and put it in smoothies, she couldn’t stomach that. She decided to have her placenta encapsulated, and paid Lawrence resident Lilly Mason, of Joyful Choice Birth Services, about $200 to do it for her.

Four months ago, Curtis delivered her second child at Shawnee Mission Medical Center. Hospital staff put the placenta into a container and her husband took it home in a cooler.

Soon thereafter, Mason arrived at their home with all of the necessary equipment to transform the placenta into pills. The process included rinsing, steaming and dehydrating the placenta. The dehydration occurs overnight, so she went back the next day to grind it and put it into capsules. She then took the jar of about 120 pills to Curtis and gave her guidelines on how many to take and when.

“They were no weirder or funnier than any other capsules,” Curtis said, of the smell and taste.

Curtis believes they were beneficial.

“We had really big supply issues with breastfeeding our first child,” she said. “With this child, I am like a dairy cow.

There’s an abundance of milk and I really truly believe it’s because I kickstarted off the first two or three weeks with the placenta.”

She also felt better.

“There were no baby blues,” Curtis said. “I didn’t experience any sort of postpartum depression in any way and I really attribute it to that.” !"!"!

LAWRENCE DOULA LILLY MASON talks recently at her home about her training on the medical benefits of placenta. Mason prepares placenta for consumption by new mothers.

LEARN MORE IN ONLINE CHAT Lawrence resident Lilly Mason will be available at 10 a.m. Wednesday to discuss natural childbirth and placenta consumption.

Mason, 33, has been a doula for 10 years and is becoming a certified midwife. She has been teaching childbirth classes since 2005, and she owns a business called Joyful Choice Birth Services, which offers placenta encapsulation, natural birth preparation classes, fertility cycling awareness classes and midwife assistant services.

She also has written “Mothercake: A Guide to Making Placenta Remedies.” It provides detailed instructions for making placenta capsules, tincture and salve, and it is available on blurb.com.

Mason will be participating in an online chat on WellCommons.com. You can submit questions at anytime at WellCommons.com/chats. Make sure to log back on to WellCommons.com during or after the chat to see if your question was answered. both studies have been promising. She said a majority of the mothers surveyed reported a positive experience after consuming placenta.

Additionally, she said, researchers learned that while some nutrients were lessened during the encapsulation process, none were destroyed, and in some cases the nutrients were actually higher.

“There isn’t a lot of research into the human placentophagy, so these studies will be among the first coming out and hopefully, the first of many,” she said.

Selandar began offering an online training course for placenta encapsulation in late 2007 and more than 200 people have completed it with 100 currently taking the course.

“It’s increasing every single year,” she said of the number of trainees.

She said people who live in Canada, South Korea and Australia have taken the course. In the United States, it’s most popular on the West Coast, and slowly growing in the Midwest. It’s least popular in the South.

Jodi Selander, founder of Las Vegas-based Placenta Benefits, believes that placenta ingestion can help mothers have a better postpartum recovery because it contains protein, vitamins, iron and hormones.

While some mothers eat placenta raw or use small pieces in a tincture, or alcohol extract, Selander promotes consuming it in pill form. The process she uses for encapsulation is similar to traditional Chinese medicine that has been done for centuries. However, she said very little, if any, research has been done on human placenta consumption in any form. That’s until this year.

Selander has been involved in research at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas involving placenta consumption and she said two studies will be published later this year in the Journal of Ecology of Food and Nutrition. One study looks at the benefits of taking pills, and the other compares raw tissue with dehydrated tissue to see whether nutrients are lost during the preparation !"!"! process.

Among those who have While she can’t divulge the details, Selander said taken her course is Mason,

33, of Lawrence, who has been a doula for 10 years.

Mason worked with many women who suffered postpartum health issues. For some, it was depression but for others it was exhaustion, anxiety and/or irritability.

“It’s just a hard time for a lot of people when you have a newborn baby,” she said, and added there aren’t a lot of options for treatment. Typically, mothers are prescribed antidepressants and then they have to stop nursing or they just have to suffer through the symptoms.

“I was just like, ‘Gosh, there’s got to be something better out there,’” she said.

So, Mason began researching alternative treatments and learned about placenta encapsulation. She took the online course in 2010 and then began offering the placenta encapsulation service.

In addition to the pills, she also makes tincture and a salve.

Mason said the general benefits of consuming placenta are increased milk production, hormone balance and increased energy. She said the salve can help with any kind of skin condition, including C-section scars, hemorrhoids, nipple soreness and diaper rash.

So far, she’s provided the services for about 90 women in the region and has traveled to Manhattan, Emporia and Columbia, Mo. She does all of the work in the client’s home and charges between $150 and $350, depending on the distance she travels.

Mason said she follows Food and Drug Administration guidelines and Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations.

“I had no idea what to expect and I really have been amazed at the response,” she said. Mason has developed a hands-on training course and began offering it this year.

So, far she has trained eight women. She also has written a 51-page guide to making placenta remedies called Mothercake.

“I’m not at all squeamish about anything. I mean, I’ve been at lots of births and have worked in doctor’s offices and hospitals. So, I don’t know what a normal person would

She said placenta is about the size of a small dinner plate and looks like bloody meat. Some people say it smells like liver when she’s steaming it.

“What I’ve noticed is that moms typically like the smell and dads typically don’t,” she said. “I had one teenage son who had to leave the kitchen one time while I was doing it, but other than that I really haven’t had people be too grossed out about it.

BRIEFLY Credit rating agencies eye school funding fight TOPEKA — Credit rating agencies are keeping a close watch on the debate in the Kansas Legislature over funding for K-12 schools as it drags deep into this year’s session.

Some school districts, such as Gardner-Edgerton, either have had their credit rating lowered or are in danger of that happening because they are spending down their reserves to offset cuts in aid by the state, the Topeka CapitalJournal reported.

Sarah Smaardyk, an analyst for Standard & Poors in Dallas, said the amount of money districts have in their reserve funds is a major consideration for her company when it assigns credit ratings.

Conservative Republican leaders don’t think there’s a problem. House Speaker Mike O’Neal said Friday that data from the Kansas State Department of Education indicate that school district cash reserves are “growing, not shrinking.”

O’Neal noted that most of the state’s 293 school districts didn’t take advantage of a measure passed last year that allows more flexibility in using designated funds.

VFW post deemed total loss after fire ELLSWORTH — A century-old building that housed a Veterans of Foreign Wars post in Ellsworth was destroyed by a fire and likely won’t be rebuilt, the post’s commander said.

Firefighters were called to the building on Main Street shortly before 5 a.m. Friday and had it under control by 7:30 a.m.

More than 100 flags donated to the post over the years, many of which had been draped over the caskets of war veterans, were lost in the fire, as were a number of photographs and other memorabilia.

Pharmacists could refuse to dispense contraception under bill The bill’s language gives the pharmacist too much leeway, say reproductive rights advoEditor’s note: This is cates, who argue the bill could result in drugs one in a series of occaranging from birth control to emergency consional stories produced by PoliticalFiber.com, a Kansas traception being refused.

By Aaron Couch

University journalism project that focuses on news about upcoming state and national campaigns.

In college towns across the country, thousands of students rely on university health centers and corporate pharmacies for their contraception.

For the most part, those pharmacies have internal policies ensuring its customers’ rights to receive contraception, even if its pharmacist does not want to fill the prescription because of moral objections.

In Lawrence, Kansas University’s Watkins Memorial Health Center allows pharmacists to refuse service for contraception but has HEALTH a policy that “staff would seek out a willing employee” to fill the prescription, said Cathy Thrasher, pharmacist in charge at Watkins.

Watkins would continue that policy if a bill under consideration in the state Legislature passes.

Similarly, Kmart, Walgreens, Walmart and CVS have corporate policies that essentially say pharmacists may refuse to fill a prescription, as long as he or she turns the customer over to another pharmacist in the building or refers the prescription to a nearby pharmacist. That’s the position the American Pharmacists Association, which governs ethics for the profession, has recommended since 2009.

But a bill under consideration in the Kansas House could allow pharmacists to refuse to fill prescriptions for contra-

BRIEFLY Severe storms cause power outages More than 550 people in Douglas County lost electricity during Sunday’s thunderstorms. The thunderstorms emerged in Douglas County about 4 p.m. Relentless heavy rain, quarter-size hail and winds as high as 25 mph buffeted the area for a five-hour stretch. The severity ebbed about 9 p.m., when the National Weather Service canceled the thunderstorm watch for Douglas County.

Douglas County had also been under an urban and small stream flood warning from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. There were no reports of flood damage, and the highest amount of rain recorded was .63 inches, according to the NWS. At the storm’s peak, some people were stranded in their cars, according to Douglas County Emergency Management. One rural home south east of Lawrence was struck by lightning, but the discharge produced only smoke and no fire.

Expert: Greensburg tornado has few peers GREENSBURG (AP) — A Kansas meteorologist says the deadly tornadoes that killed hundreds of people last year in Joplin and in the South don’t measure up to the monster storm that destroyed almost all of Greensburg five years ago.

Mike Umscheid says he had never seen a 200-knot velocity reading on radar before the May 4, 2007, tornado that killed 11 people in the southern Kansas community.

The Wichita Eagle reports emergency officials think the death toll could have been much higher if Umscheid hadn’t issued a rare “tornado emergency” 26 minutes before Greensburg was hit.

ception on moral grounds and would make Kansas one of nine states to legally protect a pharmacist’s right to refuse.

According to the bill, pharmacists who believe a drug may lead to an abortion could refuse service.

The bill’s language gives the pharmacist too much leeway, say reproductive rights advocates, who argue the bill could result in drugs ranging from birth control to emergency contraception being refused.

While areas served by corporate pharmacies such as Walmart have policies in place to ensure customers are served, that is not necessarily the case in rural areas, where one pharmacist may serve an entire town.

“If the facility, doctor or pharmacist refuses, for those women in small rural communities, where else are you supposed to go?” said Sarah Gillooly, a lobbyist with Planned Parenthood of Kansas.

A PoliticalFiber.com survey of six small-town pharmacies in Baldwin City, Eudora and Ottawa found none that had policies concerning pharmacists refusing to provide contraception.

In many cases this was because the pharmacists had no problem with providing contraception and felt no policy was needed.

At least one Kansas pharmacist plans on exercising the right to refuse, should the law pass.

Topeka pharmacist Daniel Sutherland testified before the Kansas House that he would like to stop providing contraception

at his pharmacy but feared being sued.

There have also been high-profile cases in other states where pharmacists have refused to provide contraception. In 2005, a 21-year-old woman living in a small New Hampshire town was refused emergency contraception and was unable to find someone to provide it until the 72-hour window for Plan B, which can prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex, had already passed.

Three years earlier, Wisconsin pharmacist Neil T. Noesen refused to fill a college student’s prescription for oral contraception and was later fired from his job at a Kmart pharmacy.

Headlines from that case rippled across state lines, sparking a number of states to introduce legislation that would protect pharmacists like Noesen.

On the other side of the debate, then-Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich implemented a rule in 2005 saying pharmacists must dispense Plan B. However, that was overturned by the Illinois Supreme Court last year.

Currently, four states — Arkansas, Georgia, Mississippi and South Dakota — have laws like the one proposed in Kansas. Colorado, Florida, Maine and Tennessee have broader laws protecting health care providers who refuse to provide contraception, which do not specifically mention pharmacists but are thought to include them.

Hollande defeats Sarkozy in French presidency vote

By Angela Charlton and Elaine Ganley Associated Press

PARIS — Socialist Francois Hollande defeated conservative incumbent Nicolas Sarkozy on Sunday to become France’s next president, heralding a change in how EuHollande rope tackles its debt crisis and how France flexes its military and diplomatic muscle around the world.

Sarkozy Exuberant, diverse crowds filled the Place de la Bastille, the iconic plaza of the French Revolution, to fete Hollande’s victory, waving French, European and labor union flags and climbing its central column.

Leftists are overjoyed to have one of their own in power for the first time since Socialist Francois Mitterrand was president from 1981 to 1995.

“Austerity can no longer be inevitable!” Hollande declared in his victory speech Sunday night after a surprising campaign that

saw him transform from an unremarkable, mild figure to an increasingly statesmanlike one.

Sarkozy is the latest victim of a wave of voter anger at government spending cuts around Europe that have tossed out governments and leaders over the past couple of years.

In Greece, a parliamentary vote Sunday is seen as critical to the country’s prospects for pulling out of a deep financial crisis felt in world markets. A state election in Germany and local elections in Italy were seen as tests of support for the national government’s policies.

Hollande promised help for France’s downtrodden after years under Sarkozy, a man many voters saw as too friendly with the rich and blamed for economic troubles.

Hollande said European partners should be relieved and not frightened by his presidency.

“I am proud to have been capable of giving people hope again,” Hollande told huge crowds of supporters in his electoral fiefdom of Tulle in central France.

“We will succeed!”

Hollande inherits an economy that’s a driver of the European Union but is deep in debt. He wants more government stimulus, and more government

SUPPORTERS OF SOCIALIST PRESIDENT-ELECT FRANCOIS HOLLANDE, seen on the video screen at right, celebrate after the results of the second round of the French Presidential elections were announced at Bastille square in Paris on Sunday. Hollande defeated President Nicolas Sarkozy on Sunday to become France’s next president; Sarkozy conceded defeat minutes after the polls closed. spending in general, despite concerns in the markets that France needs to urgently trim its huge debt.

While some market players have worried about a Hollande presidency, Jeffrey Bergstrand, professor of finance at the University of Notre Dame, said it’s a good thing that Hollande will push for more spending throughout Europe to stimulate the economy.

Europe is “going into

a really serious and poor situation,” Bergstrand said. Hollande “is going to become the speaker for those countries that want to do something about economic growth.”

Sarkozy conceded defeat minutes after the polls closed, saying he had called Hollande to wish him “good luck” as the country’s new leader.

Sarkozy, who ran the country through its worst

recession since World War II and the ensuing European debt crisis, said he did his best to win a second term, despite widespread anger at his handling of the economy.

“I bear responsibility ... for the defeat,” he said. “I committed myself totally, fully, but I didn’t succeed in convincing a majority of French. ... I didn’t succeed in making the values we share win.”

Anger leaves Greece headed toward political stalemate ATHENS, GREECE (AP) — Furious Greeks punished the two parties that have dominated politics for decades in the crisisbattered country Sunday, leaving its multibillion dollar international bailout — and even its future in the euro currency — hanging in the balance.

With more than 83 percent of the vote counted,

Greece appeared to be heading toward political stalemate. Nobody won enough votes to form a government, and the two parties that backed the bailout — the conservative New Democracy and socialist PASOK — conceded they need to win over adversaries to form a viable coalition.

“I understand the rage of the people, but our par-

ty will not leave Greece ungoverned,” said New Democracy leader Antonis Samaras.

New Democracy was leading with nearly 20 percent of the vote, which would give it 110 seats in the 300-member parliament. PASOK, which has spent 21 years in government since 1981 and stormed to victory with

more than 43 percent in 2009, saw its support slashed to about 13.5 percent. It will have just 41 seats, compared to 160 in the last election.

Sunday’s other big winner was Alexis Tsipras, the 38-year-old leader of the Radical Left Coalition, or Syriza, who saw his party poised for an unprecedented second place

with 16.4 percent and 51 seats — the first time in nearly 40 years that any party other than New Democracy or PASOK has held the spot.

Turnout stood at just over 64 percent — a low figure for the country, where voting is officially compulsory, although no sanctions are applied for not casting a ballot.

George Lindsey, Senate facing partisan fight this week over student loans known as TV’s Goober Pyle, dies

NASHVILLE, TENN. — George Lindsey, who made a TV career as a grinning service station attendant named Goober on “The Andy Griffith Show” and “Hee Haw,” has died. He was 83.

The Marshall-Donnelly-Combs Funeral Home in Nashville said Lindsay died early Sunday morning after a brief illness.

Lindsey was the beaniewearing Goober on “The Andy Griffith Show” from 1964 to 1968 and its successor, “Mayberry RFD,” from 1968 to 1971. He played the same jovial character on “Hee Haw” from 1971 until it went out of production in 1993.

“America has grown up with me,” Lindsey said in an Associated Press interview in 1985. “Goober is every man; everyone finds something to like about ol’ Goober.”

He joined “The Andy Griffith Show” in 1964 when Jim Nabors, portraying Gomer Pyle, left the program. Goober Pyle, who had been mentioned on the show as Gomer’s cousin, replaced him.

“At that time, we were the best acting ensemble on TV,” Lindsey once told an interviewer. “The scripts were terrific. Andy is the best script constructionist I’ve ever been involved with. And you have to lift your acting level up to his; he’s awfully good.”

In a statement released through the funeral home, Griffith said, “George Lindsey was my friend.

I had great respect for his talent and his human spirit. In recent years, we spoke often by tele-

I am happy to say that as we found ourselves in our 80s, we were not afraid to say, ‘I love you.’ That was the last thing George and I had to say to each other. ‘I love you.’”

Although he was best known as Goober, Lindsey had other roles during a long TV career. Earlier, he often was a “heavy” and once shot Matt Dillon on “Gunsmoke.”

His other TV credits included roles on “MASH,” ‘‘The Wonderful World of Disney,” ‘‘CHIPs,” ‘‘The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour,” ‘‘The Real McCoys,” ‘‘Rifleman,” ‘‘The Alfred Hitchcock Hour,” ‘‘Twilight Zone” and “Love American Style.”

Reflecting on his career, he said in 1985: “There’s a residual effect of knowing I’ve made America laugh.

I’m not the only one, but I’ve contributed something.”

the election-year face-off over federal student loans, and both sides are starting out by pounding away at each other.

With Congress returning from a weeklong spring recess, the Senate plans to vote Tuesday on whether to start debating a Democratic plan to keep college loan interest rates for 7.4 million students from doubling on July 1. The $6 billion measure would be paid for by collecting more Social Security and Medicare payroll taxes from highearning owners of some privately held corporations.

Republicans want a vote on their own bill, which like the Democrats’ would freeze today’s 3.4 percent interest rates on subsidized Stafford loans for one more year. It would be financed by eliminating a preventive health program established by President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul.

Each side scoffs that the other’s proposal is unacceptable, and neither is expected to garner the votes needed to prevail. Even so, everyone expects a bipartisan deal before July 1 because no one wants students’ interest rates to balloon before November’s presidential and congressional elections.

“We’re still pushing on that,” said Rhode Island Sen. Jack Reed, chief sponsor of the Democratic bill. “But I also think I recognize if there is another proposal outside of going after the health care fund, we’ll certainly listen.”

Stafford loans are made to low- and middle-income students. With student loans of all types a growing household burden that now exceeds the nation’s credit-card debt, the fight

in Congress has come to symbolize how each party would help families cope with the rugged economy and how to pay for it.

Lawmakers face a pile of other issues this week as well.

On Tuesday, the House Judiciary Committee plans to vote on GOP-written legislation renewing federal efforts to prevent domestic violence. The Senate voted to renew the Violence Against Women Act two weeks ago and included provisions, such as requiring groups receiving money to show they don’t discriminate against gays, that drew

opposition from conservatives. The House version is expected to leave out such contentious language.

That same day, HouseSenate bargainers plan to start talks on overhauling federal transportation programs. Congress is under pressure to act because the trust fund that pays for highway aid to states is forecast to go broke next year. Transportation programs have limped along under nine short-term extensions since the last long-term transportation bill expired in 2009, and the current one expires June 30.

BRIEFLY Man found dead worked at racetrack LOUISVILLE, KY. — Authorities say a man who may have been killed and whose body was found early Sunday in a barn at Churchill Downs hours after the Kentucky Derby worked at the racetrack.

The victim was identified Sunday as 48-year-old Adan Fabian Perez, a Guatemala native, according to Jo-Ann Farmer, chief deputy coroner for Jefferson County.

Farmer said he was identified by his 19-year-old son, who also works at the track.

“There’s a suspicion of foul play,” Farmer said Sunday evening. An autopsy is scheduled for today.

Louisville Metro Police say the death is being investigated as a homicide, but that there appears to be no connection to the track.

Alicia Smiley, spokeswoman for Louisville Metro Police, said that the victim “did sustain injuries that lead us to believe he was involved in some type of altercation.”

“Our investigation is ongoing as to why he would have specifically been at this location,” Smiley said.

Churchill Downs security called police at 4:50 a.m.

EDT, Smiley said. The body was found in a barn used

by Louisville trainer Angel Montano Sr.

Biden OK with same-sex marriage WASHINGTON — Vice President Joe Biden says he’s “absolutely comfortable” with gay couples who marry getting the same civil rights and liberties as heterosexual couples, a stand that gay rights advocates interpreted as an endorsement of same-sex marriage.

But the White House and Biden President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign, eager to avoid a debate on a hot-button social issue in an election year, insisted that Biden was not breaking ranks with Obama, who does not publicly support gay marriage.

Biden told NBC’s “Meet the Press” that marriage should be about being loyal to someone you love, whether that marriage is between a man and a woman, two men or two women. “I am absolutely comfortable with the fact that men marrying men, women marrying women and heterosexual men and women marrying one another are entitled to the same exact rights, all the civil rights, all the civil liberties,” Biden said in the interview broadcast Sunday.

School priorities The Lawrence school district’s willingness to dip into its savings to fund other programs undercuts its contention that it must put off considering teachers’ salary proposals.

D

id the Lawrence school district think its teachers weren’t paying attention when the school board voted on April 22 to spend about $2 million to add teachers and programs?

Just two weeks later, the district’s negotiator told teachers that the district couldn’t possibly discuss teacher compensation packages until it knew how much state funding it would receive this year.

What’s wrong with this picture? School board members didn’t think it was necessary to see what the state funding picture would be before committing to large budget increases for staff and programs, including the extension of full-day kindergarten and the addition of 21 teachers to reduce class sizes. But now they are telling teacher negotiators they have to wait for state funding decisions before considering possible teacher raises.

The fact that board members were willing to use money the district had accumulated in its cash reserves on additional programs and teachers more or less confirms the contention of the Lawrence Education Association negotiators that the district has money to spend on increased teacher salaries. Many funds held by school districts are restricted for specific uses, but it seems that at least some of the money being directed to hiring 21 new teachers could be directed to salary increases, if that were the board’s priority.

The overall funding picture for schools in Kansas is uncertain and relatively bleak.

In fact, Superintendent Rick Doll warned board members that current state funding levels would make it impossible to sustain the addition of programs and teachers for more than two or three years.

Lowering class sizes and extending fullday kindergarten to the entire district certainly are positive moves. Perhaps using some of the district’s savings to kick-start those programs now will make them easier to sustain financially later on.

It also is vital that the district have a strong corps of teachers who are paid well enough to want to stay in their jobs. If the district doesn’t feel it can commit to a long-term salary increase, local teachers already have suggested the idea of one-time bonuses that wouldn’t add to the salary base.

Even under the best circumstances, the district probably can’t afford to spend $3 million to fully fund the teachers’ initial salary request. Nonetheless, as the district allocates funds for various program and staff changes, it needs to make sure that teacher salaries are a continuing priority.

Amendment would have radical impact WASHINGTON — Controversies can be wonderfully clarified when people follow the logic of illogical premises to perverse conclusions.

For example, two academics recently wrote in the British Journal of Medical Ethics that “after-birth abortions” — killing newborn babies — are matters of moral indifference because newborns, like fetuses, “do not have the same moral status as actual persons” and “the fact that both are potential persons is morally irrelevant.” So killing them “should be permissible in all the cases where abortion is, including cases where the newborn is not disabled.”

This helpfully validates the right-to-life contention that the pro-abortion argument, which already defends thirdtrimester abortions, contains no standard for why the killing should be stopped by arbitrarily assigning moral significance to the moment of birth.

Now comes Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Mass., with a comparable contribution to another debate, the one concerning government regulation of political speech. Joined

by Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, 26 other Democrats and one Republican, he proposes a constitutional amendment to radically contract First Amendment protections. His purpose is to vastly expand government’s power — i.e., the power of incumbent legislators — to write laws regulating, rationing or even proscribing speech in elections that determine the composition of the legislature and the rest of the government. McGovern’s proposal vindicates those who say most campaign-finance

“

Newspapers, magazines, broadcasting entities, online journalism operations — and most religious institutions — are corporate entities. McGovern’s amendment would strip them of all constitutional rights.” “reforms” are incompatible with the First Amendment.

His “People’s Rights Amendment” declares that the Constitution protects only the rights of “natural persons,” not such persons organized in corporations, and that Congress can impose on corporations whatever restrictions Congress deems “reasonable.” His amendment says it shall not be construed “to limit the people’s rights of freedom of speech, freedom of the press, free exercise of religion, freedom of association and all such other rights of the people, which rights are inalienable.” But the amendment is explicitly designed to deny such rights to natural persons who, exercising their First Amendment right to freedom of association, come together in corporate entities to speak in concert.

McGovern stresses that his amendment decrees that “all corporate entities — forprofit and nonprofit alike” have no constitutional rights.

So Congress — and state legislatures and local governments — could regulate to the point of proscription political speech, or any other speech, by the Sierra Club, the National Rifle Association, NARAL Pro-Choice America, or any of the other tens of thousands of nonprofit corporate advocacy groups, including political parties and campaign committees.

Newspapers, magazines, broadcasting entities, online journalism operations — and most religious institutions — are corporate entities. McGovern’s amendment would strip them of all constitutional rights. By doing so, the amendment would empower the government to do much more than proscribe speech.

Ilya Somin of George Mason University Law School, writing for the Volokh Conspiracy blog, notes that government, unleashed by McGovern’s amendment, could regulate religious practices at most houses of worship, conduct whatever searches it wants, reasonable or not, of corporate entities, and seize corporate-owned property for whatever it deems public uses — without paying compensation. Yes, McGovern’s scythe would mow down the Fourth and Fifth Amendments, as well as the First.

The proposed amendment is intended to reverse the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision, which affirmed the right of persons to associate in corporate entities for

the purpose of unrestricted collective speech independent of candidates’ campaigns. The court’s decision was foreshadowed when, in oral argument, the government’s lawyer insisted the government could ban a 500page book that contained one sentence that said “vote for” a particular candidate. McGovern’s amendment would confer upon Congress the power to ban publishing corporations from producing books containing political advocacy, when Congress considers a ban reasonable — never mind the amendment’s rhetoric about the “inalienable” rights people enjoy until they band together to act in corporate entities.

A decade ago, then-Rep. Dick Gephardt said of George Soros’ spending in support of liberal causes: “It is not consistent with campaign reform, but it is consistent with what the Constitution says about freedom of speech.”

As the editors of National Review note, liberals control unions and most of academia and the media. Yet such is their evident lack of confidence in their powers of persuasion they are desperate to control the speech of others.

By proposing his amendment, McGovern helpfully illuminates the lengths to which some liberals want to go. So when next you hear histrionic warnings about tea party or other conservative “extremism,” try to think of anything on the right comparable to McGovern’s proposed vandalism of the Bill of Rights.

Now that the Republicans have settled on a nominee, the presidential race begins in earnest. It’s time for both candidates to spell out their positions on a wide range of issues.

But this is a two way street. It’s also time for voters to send a clear message — to federal officials, as well as local and state — about what they think is important and the solutions they want.

Nowhere is this more important than in the area of education.

Polls tell us that the economy is the No. 1 issue for voters. People are worried: about jobs, bills, college affordability, housing prices, and retiring with security.

Unfortunately, confidence in leadership is low: According to a September 2011 Gallup poll, 81 percent are dissatisfied with how the country is governed.

But when you dig deeper into public opinion, you find that people believe the solutions are available. One widely held belief is in the importance of education. For generations, our schools have provided a path to individual and collective success. In today’s world, few would dispute that education is central to the health of the nation.

A recent study from the College Board — conducted in nine swing states by Hart Research Associates and North Star Opinion Research — provides an interesting and important picture of the American public’s view about education and its potential role in the upcoming elections.

Here’s some of what the report tells us. First, two-thirds say it is extremely important that education be a major

topic in the upcoming elections. Second, more than three-quarters say that education will have a big impact on America’s ability to compete successfully in the global economy. Third, improving education is identified as one of the two most Budig important ways to get the economy back on track (the other is reducing our reliance on foreign oil). Fourth, more than three-quarters say that we need more money for our schools, and a majority would be willing to pay additional taxes for education.

Here’s the paradox: Lawmakers have not recently been big supporters of education. In fact, over the last few years, both K-12 and higher education budgets have been slashed. At least 43 states imposed cuts to public colleges and universities, resulting in large increases in tuition to make up for insufficient operational funds. A federal report estimates that between 2008 and 2011, nearly 300,000 education jobs have been lost.

One shout out here is necessary, and that is to community colleges. Too often, when we think of education, we think of K-12 and four-year colleges. The truth is that community colleges are a vital part of the education community, providing a pathway to four-year colleges and job training.

To be fair, elected officials are in a tough spot. Revenues for all levels of government are down, giving them no alternative but to reduce critical public

services. But we must reject solutions that mortgage our future. It is simply not acceptable to say that we are too poor to provide teachers in our classrooms, sports and arts in our schools, security for our students and affordable college degrees.

There is good news on the horizon. Our economy seems to be turning. Employment numbers are up, and employers are likely to hire 10 percent more college graduates in 2012 than in 2011. And people are becoming more optimistic: More than a quarter are optimistic about the economy, double the percentage in the third quarter of 2011.

In talking about the College Board report, Gaston Caperton, president of that organization and a former twoterm governor of West Virginia, says “No political group escapes criticism in the study, and that is how it should be.

America has turned the other way for too long when it comes to education.”

This is not that complicated. Good schools will allow us to compete internationally and give us the economy we want and need. Bad schools will allow our economy and dreams to crumble.

Clearly, there is a major opportunity for the candidate who speaks about education with knowledge and conviction. But we need to keep politicians honest by letting them know what we want and holding them accountable. A strong system of education should be at the top of our list.

THIS WEEK’S BEST BETS As school winds down and the spring renter migration nears, there are several events this week to get rid of documents and electronic devices rather than cart them off.

A document shredding event will be on Monday at the Capitol Federal branch on Iowa Street, and there are two events Saturday: electronic recycling at Free State High School and both recycling and shredding at KU Credit Union South on 31st Street. Other highlights this week include a variety of musical presentations, a groundbreaking ceremony for Theatre Lawrence’s new building in the Bauer Farm development on Thursday, the opening of the Free State Film Festival and the Best of Story Slam on Friday at the Lawrence Arts Center, and the Monarch Watch open house on Saturday.

Graduations begin with Haskell Indian Nations University’s commencement and powwow on Saturday, and KU’s commencement on Sunday. Also, don’t forget Mother’s Day on Sunday!

Pair of city prep showdowns on tap tonight Free State seeking softball sweep of Lawrence High after 16-day break

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Normally, when the softball teams at Free State High and Lawrence High take the field, it’s for a doubleheader.

Play the first game. Take a quick break. Get right back at it.

That won’t be the case for this season’s second installment of the city showdown between the rivals.

By the time the first pitch crosses home plate at 6:15 p.m. tonight at Kansas Uni-

Yanks pound Royals, 10-4 KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — Luke Hochevar figures he’d better go back to square one.

If it were up to the fans in Kansas City, he’d be going back to the minors.

The former No. 1 overall draft pick was battered for seven runs in fewer than three innings by the New York Yankees on Sunday.

Robinson Cano had a grand slam and Nick Swisher homered two batters later to chase him from the game in the Royals’ 10-4 loss.

“When you give up a grand slam, that’s not what you want, but then again I need to get back to square one and figure it out,” Hochevar said, “and get things going and start helping this club and not be putting us in a hole early in the game.”

Hochevar’s ERA soared to 9.00 on the season. He was yanked after 2 1/3 innings, and has allowed 16 runs and 19 hits with four walks and a hit batter his past two starts.

Expected to be the staff ace, Hochevar has been perhaps the Royals’ worst pitcher — starter or reliever — so far this season. But he’s out of options, which means he’ll likely be given much more time to straighten things out before the team makes a drastic decision.

“Obviously, this is not where I want to be,” he said. “No, it’s definitely where I want to be. I need to get back to helping the ball club and doing the things I need to do to pitch deep into games and get outs. That’s the bottom line.”

Alex Rodriguez added a three-run shot in the eighth inning for the Yankees, helping them to a four-game split. The series began with a freak, season-ending injury to All-Star closer Mariano Rivera, but ended with the Yankees’ best offensive output in a dozen games.

“Great to see that from the middle of the order,” Yankees manager Joe Girardi said.

versity’s Arrocha Ballpark, it will have been 16 days since the Firebirds beat the Lions, 8-1, on April 21.

As far as FSHS coach Lee Ice is concerned, everything that happened then — Courtney Parker’s two-run blast, productive days at the plate from A’Liyah Rogers and Remington Samuels, seven innings of solid pitching from Meredith Morris — will have no bearing on the rematch.

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Like most baseball teams, Free State High and Lawrence High would love to be peaking just in time for the playoffs.

With both the Firebirds and Lions hitting skids lately, tonight’s city showdown — 5:15 p.m. at LHS — as well as Thursday’s regular-season-finale rematch at FSHS, could go a long way in determining how far both teams go once the postseason begins next week.

Adding to the intrigue, particularly for the less-heralded Firebirds (8-10), is the possibility the rivals could face each other a third time in a Class 6A regional.

Free State junior catcher Lee McMahon said this week could provide his team with insight on the Lions (10-8).

“These two games are huge,” McMahon said, “from a scouting perspective and from a bragging-rights perspective.”

Free State coach Mike Hill played down the importance of the rivalry, but said the

atmosphere the city showdown provides should help his young team, which has dropped four of its last five games, as it prepares for the regional tournament.

“It’s an even bigger game for people in the community, because it gives them something to talk about, but in all candor it’s one of 20 (games on the schedule),” Hill said.

“We’re looking at it as an opportunity for us to get better.”

LAWRENCE’S MARTY PATTIN, LEFT, POSES WITH GRANDSON BAILEY PATTIN, a middle-infielder for Perry-Lecompton High, in a Fenway Park dugout. The elder Pattin was among the former Red Sox honored recently before a game at the venerable Boston ballyard.

‘Duck’ shows grandson around No ballplayer likes spending time on the disabled list, nursing a sore shoulder.

Nevertheless, injured Bailey Pattin, a middle-infielder in Perry-Lecompton High’s baseball program, has had a most memorable baseball spring.

Bailey’s grandfather, Lawrence resident Marty Pattin, was one of 226 former Boston Red Sox honored 21⁄2 weeks ago before a game at historic Fenway Park as part of the ballpark’s 100th birthday celebration.

The Duck, so nicknamed because of his impeccable

Donald Duck impersonation, brought his grandson along for a between-the-lines, behind-the-wall tour of Fenway.

“See that,” Marty said to Bailey, as they walked past third base. “That’s where Rico Petrocelli played.”

When they moved to left field, the former pitcher pointed to the most famous mass of outfield fence in baseball and said: “This is where Carl Yastrzemski could pick a ball off the Green Monster as good as anybody I’ve ever seen.”

Then he pointed all the way to the top, to the seats that weren’t there when he played, the seats that look as if they’ve been there for 100 years: “Bailey, that’s where your grandpa hit two home runs. Off the same pitcher.

Bill Parsons. Used to pitch for Milwaukee.”

When the tour wound its way to right field, The Duck pointed to Pesky’s Pole and confessed to his grandson a pitching sin from his past: “Gene ‘The Stick’ Michael hit a bloop fly down the line with the bases loaded, hit a grand slam off of me. I’ve never been able to live that down.”

KU baseball falls in extras. Again.

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

It’s not that Kansas University’s baseball players are tired of playing extra-inning games. They’re just tired of losing them.

Sunday, in the final game of the Jayhawk Classic at Hoglund Ballpark, KU fell from ahead, 6-3 in 11 innings, against Missouri State. KU (19-29) fell to 1-3 in extras this season.

“We’ve played more than

what’s been normal in the past, without question,” KU coach Ritch Price said of extra-inning affairs. “Part of the reason for that is we’ve been competitive in all the games we’ve been in, despite our 19-29 record. And the other thing is, we’re not as good offensively as we have been. When we go to those extra-inning games, they go to their closer, who usually has the best arm on their team, and we have trouble scoring.”

“Extra-inning games are part of baseball,” KU catcher James Stanfield said. “But it’d be nice to come out on top of more of those games.

That’s probably what we’re tired of the most, not finishing games out.”

The Jayhawks had more than their share of chances to do that Sunday, but could not deliver.

In the seventh, with KU leading 3-2, Missouri State (34-14) tied the game when a potential double-play ball

went for just one out at second instead of two, allowing Dylan Becker to score.

KU came up short at the plate as well. Dakota Smith (1-for-5) led off the bottom of the seventh with a double, but the next three batters failed to push him across. In the eighth, Stanfield led off John Young/Journal-World Photo with a single, and Alex DeLeon (1-for-4) hit a rocket KANSAS’ DAKOTA SMITH, RIGHT, IS to the gap in left-center, but CONGRATULATED by teammates followthe ball hung up just long ing his score against Missouri State.

Flashy Fowler snags first PGA win CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Rickie Fowler finally picked up his first PGA Tour win Sunday in what might be the start of a rivalry for years to come.

Fowler brought style and substance to a sudden-death playoff at Quail Hollow and delivered a clutch shot â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a wedge into 4 feet to birdie the 18th hole and win the Wells Fargo Championship over U.S. Open champion Rory McIlroy and D.A. Points.

The 23-year-old Fowler has been talked about as the next American star since he turned pro with his flashy colors and all-orange outfit on Sunday, his trademark. Now he has a trophy to back up the hype, coming in his 67th start as a pro on the PGA Tour.

And he beat the 23-year-old McIlroy to do it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking forward to playing with Rory for a long time,â&#x20AC;? said Flower, who closed with a

The buildup for the Players Championship suffered a blow last week. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Tiger Woods hitting the ball hither and yon and missing the cut at Quail Hollow. It was Bubba Watson, the thrill-a-minute champion of the Masters, announcing he would skip the Players to spend time with his wife and adopted infant son.

Watson received much congratulations from the national media for the fine perspective he was putting on life â&#x20AC;&#x201D; wanting to bond with the little tyke rather than mix it up with what often has been the best field of the golf season.

Put me in the group that would have been much more interested in viewing Watson take on the wonderful acreage at TPC Sawgrass this week than in tracking the immature rants of the 36-year-old Woods through another misadventure with his latest new swing.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no entity more devoted to giving the public what it wants than ESPN, and clearly, the ESPN research says Tiger remains all that golf has to offer to the general public.

After the scandal and the gawd-awful play and the perpetual pouting of a now 36-year-old man, is â&#x20AC;&#x153;How did Tiger do?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; the only question the general public has to offer when it sees a golf item on a sports report?

Any time he shoots a 67 you hear the same question, from the panels on ESPN and The Golf Channel, or from nongolf fans making small talk: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Is Tiger back?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; He can win again. He showed that at the end of March by winning Arnold Palmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tournament at Bay Hill.

Can he dominate again? No chance. He turns 37 on New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eve and hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had the same marvelous move to the golf ball since his fallout with swing coach Butch Harmon a decade ago. He wound up with Hank Haney and there was a stiff quality to that swing that even we technical dunces couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but notice.

Tiger Woods was in a golferâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prime when he worked with Haney â&#x20AC;&#x201D; late 20s, early 30s â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how he good he was. But like any game, as you get older, the flaws are harder to overcome physically, and the doubts creep in, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when you need a swing built for the long haul.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be watching the Players this week, and the absence of Bubba will be a much larger void than it would be to see Tiger go home early again.

in regulation and missed a 15foot birdie putt.

In the playoff, all three hit the fairway, with McIlroy hitting a 3-wood that traveled nearly 340 yards. Fowlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wedge covered the flag and spun some 4 feet away. Points went long and did well to two-putt for his par, making the second one from 12 feet.

McIlroy hit his wedge well right of the flag and had to work hard for a two-putt par. That set the stage for Fowler, and he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t about to let this chance get away.

Even though theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the same age, McIlroy has a two-year head start on Fowler. They were in the Walker Cup together in 2007, and McIlroy turned pro that fall. Fowler didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t turn pro until two years ago.

The only other time Fowler won as a pro was last year at the Korea Open, where he also beat McIlroy.

McIlroy closed with a 70, and Points shot a 71.

COMMENTARY

Golf fans, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time ... move on from Tiger

a 35-year-old who had the tournament in his grasp until ending 40 straight holes without a bogey by making one at the worst time. He had a one-shot lead going to the 18th in regulation, hit his approach in a bunker and never came close to a par.

McIlroy had a shot at winning

Keselowski survives last-lap curse, wins Talladega TALLADEGA, ALA. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The leader on the last lap isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t supposed to win at Talladega Superspeedway. Everybody knows that.

Brad Keselowski disagrees, and he showed how to do it Sunday with a calculated plan that sent him to Victory Lane.

Keselowski used a big push from Kyle Busch to pass leader Matt Kenseth, and after leaving the Daytona 500 winner in their wake, Keselowski staved off Buschâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attempt to snatch the win. Using a move Keselowski said he had dreamed about, he held on for his second win of the season and second at Talladega. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had this whole plan if I ever got in that situation where I was leading; I thought about it and thought about it, dreamed about what to do, and sure enough, going into (turn) three, it was just me and Kyle,â&#x20AC;? Keselowski said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew the move I wanted to pull. It worked because the guy running second should have the advantage, but I had this move all worked up in my mind.â&#x20AC;?

Keselowski was the first driver in the last five races at Talladega to take the white flag and hold on for the win. He did it with a plan that left both Busch and Kenseth flat-footed, and both praised Keselowski after the race. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no dummy, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for sure,â&#x20AC;? said Busch, who wound up second for the second consecutive day.

Busch was the leader on the last lap of Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nationwide Series race, and was passed by Joey Logano right at the finish line. He conceded thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s little the leader can do to preserve the victory on the last lap of a restrictor-plate race, and predicted how Sunday would unfold. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re leading, being pushed, plan on finishing second. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all there is to it,â&#x20AC;? Busch said after Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defeat.

So he should have been sitting pretty after pushing Keselowski to the front. Instead, Keselowski went high into the third turn, then pulled off of Buschâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bumper to create some separation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That allowed me to drive untouched to the checkered flag,â&#x20AC;? Keselowski said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t easy to convince myself to do that, but it was the right move.â&#x20AC;?

Busch initially seemed dumbfounded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I must have screwed something up, because we got to turn three and came unhooked,â&#x20AC;? Busch said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just gave the win away over there. Not sure exactly what happened. We definitely need to go back and figure out what it was.â&#x20AC;?

Kenseth didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel much better. He led seven times for a race-high 73 laps, but believed he gave the win away on the final restart.

A nine-car accident with four laps remaining brought out the yellow flag, setting up a two-lap overtime sprint to the finish. Kenseth, as the leader, got to pick where he wanted to restart and chose the outside line so Roush Fenway Racing teammate Greg Biffle would line up behind him and presumably push him to the victory.

That put Keselowski and Busch together on the inside line, but they drifted back on the restart as Kenseth indeed was able to jump out to a huge lead.

It was probably too big of a lead.

Kenseth got a little too far away from Biffle, which gave the Keselowski-Busch tandem a chance to catch him. The two cars sailed past Kenseth on the outside line. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we had the winning car, really just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the winning driver,â&#x20AC;? Kenseth said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I looked forward for a second, when I looked back, Greg and I were separated, those guys were already outside of him. With me not paying attention, keeping us hooked up, just cost us a shot at the win, cost Greg a shot at the win.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t too fast. I was just too stupid I guess at the end to keep a win.â&#x20AC;?

It put Keselowski in Victory Lane for the second time this season, which helps his championship chances. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been streaky through the first 10 races of the year, and even with this second victory, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only ranked 12th in the Sprint Cup standings.

But those wins should guarantee him at least a wild-card berth into the 12-driver Chase for the Sprint Cup championship field.

BRAD KESELOWSKI RAISES THE TROPHY after winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series auto race at Talladega Superspeedway on Sunday in Talladega, Ala.

TENNIS

Federer: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be gunning for No. 1 MADRID â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Roger Federer is ready to challenge Novak Djokovic for the No. 1 ranking after a monthlong break from tennis.

The third-ranked Federer returns this week at the Madrid Open, a tournament he won in 2006 and 2009. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am excited to be back after a long offseason, but I needed it after playing so, so much,â&#x20AC;?

Federer said Sunday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have put myself in a good position if I do win a Grand Slam for the world number one.â&#x20AC;?

To reclaim the top ranking, Federer will have to overtake Djokovic and No. 2 Rafael Nadal, the top two seeded players in Madrid. Nadal is playing excellent tennis with back-to-back wins at Monte Carlo, where he broke a string of defeats to Djokovic, and most recently at Barcelona.

The 30-year-old Swiss called Nadal the tournament favorite.

Top seeds advance in Madrid MADRID â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Top-ranked Victoria Azarenka and second-seeded Maria Sharapova advanced to the second round of the Madrid Open with straight-set wins Sunday on the eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new blue-clay court.

Azarenka beat Svetlana Kuznetsova of Russia 7-6 (5), 6-4 in a tough opening match.

The Australian Open champion and Kuznetsova traded breaks in the first set. Just when it looked as if the second set was going to end in another tiebreaker, Azarenka broke again to close out the match. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a really close match, so I was just happy that I won because they were difficult games to break,â&#x20AC;? said Azarenka, who added that the differences between the new surface and traditional red clay were not limited to color. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is pretty slippery. The bounce is different which changes everything completely already.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a completely different thing.â&#x20AC;?

Sharapova had an easier debut with a comfortable 6-0, 6-3 victory over Irina-Camelia Begu.

Also, sixth-seeded Caroline Wozniacki served six aces in a 7-6 (7), 3-6, 6-4 win over Ksenia Pervak of Kazakhstan.

BASKETBALL NOTEBOOK

Xavier transfer Lyons commits to ’Zona

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Former Xavier University combo guard Mark Lyons committed to Arizona on Sunday following his campus visit to the Pac-12 school.

The 6-foot-1 senior-to-be, who picked the Wildcats over Kentucky and Kansas University, chose to be reunited with coach Sean Miller, who recruited him while Miller was at Xavier.

“It was a lot of things,” Lyons told zagsblog.com.

“The program ... I’ve known these guys (coaches) since I was a junior or

sophomore in high school.

I have a great relationship with them.”

Lyons, who also visited Kentucky and at one point said he planned to visit KU, averaged 15.5 points and 3.4 rebounds last season. He will be immediately eligible at Arizona after earning his undergraduate degree in the next two weeks.

“The guys they’ve got coming in, they welcomed me with open arms. Everything about this place is right for me,” Lyons told zagsblog.

montre Harris, a 6-9, 225-pound sophomore who has announced plans to transfer from South Carolina to either KU or Florida, visited KU over the weekend. Sources indicate he did not commit to KU on the trip.

Harris averaged 6.8 points off 55 percent shooting and 80.4 percent free throwing and a teambest 5.5 rebounds last season. He was named to the SEC’s all-defensive team after blocking 71 shots in 31 games. It is believed the Fayetteville, N.C., native ! who was ranked No. 64 in Harris visits KU: Da- the Class of 2010 by Rivals.

“I think the first game, you just kind of throw out the window,” Ice said.

The Lions would probably be OK with that, too, considering Marly Carmona, Lauren Byrn and Kristen Gile were the only LHS players to register hits in the seven-run loss.

LHS coach Nick Wood said the Firebirds (10-7) played well in the first match-up, and it wasn’t as if Lawrence (5-14) shot itself in the foot.

“Now our girls have been through that experience once. They’re gonna come out ready to go and adjust at the plate, continue to play strong defensively, and we’ll be OK,” Wood said.

“We just have to find a way to have a heck of a lot more base-runners than we did last time.”

Byrn said LHS has a chance to win the rematch, and she doesn’t mind the absence of a doubleheader for the city showdown games.

“You know you only have one game, and you give it your all, no matter what,” Byrn said. “You don’t have to worry about playing a second game.”

Plus, Carmona said, Lawrence batters could have an edge, having already faced Morris.

“I think our hitting has definitely gotten better,” Carmona said, “and we’re prepared to go out there and play our hardest.”

Freshman Megan Sumonja, who didn’t pitch in the first game, is slated to start for LHS tonight.

According to Parker, the Firebirds expect Lawrence to come back stronger for Game 2.

“It’s going to be exciting, but we’re going to come in focused and ready to play,” Parker said. “We want to get another win.”

FSHS shortstop Samantha O’Brien said her team is confident and looking forward to the rematch.

“I think everybody’s pretty pumped up right now,” O’Brien said.

Like any other Sunflower League game, Ice said beating Lawrence won’t be easy.

“It’ll be a good game. I’m sure there’ll be a lot of emotions and a lot of excitement toward the game,” Ice said. “But we’re looking at it as another game — one of the three that we have left that we’ve just got to take care of business.”

by Chris Manship and a strikeout by Michael Suiter ended the threat.

Tucker Tharp reached second in the ninth, and Dreiling reached second in the 10th, but both were stranded.

“We’ve struggled late in games,” Stanfield said.

“We have our opportunities, and we haven’t got ’em. I had one today and didn’t get him in.”

KU softball no-hit, 9-0 J-W Staff Reports

COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS — Two Texas A&M pitchers combined on a no-hitter, and the Aggies banged 11 hits in a 9-0 rout of Kansas University in the Jayhawks’ regular-season finale.

Mel Dumezich (26-11) and Lindsey Sisk silenced KU (31-20 overall, 6-17 Big 12). Dumezich struck out five over three innings.

Sisk walked one and struck out two over the final two frames.

Alicia Pille (17-12) took

the loss after surrendering three earned runs off three hits over just onethird of an inning.

Though she was held hitless, KU junior left fielder Maggie Hull finished the regular season with a .409 batting average, breaking the school single-season record, surpassing the .400

by Jill Larson in 1979.

KU will learn its NCAA Tournament fate Sunday.

by KU, NYChoops.net reports.

“We were offered by UNLV, Kansas, Temple, Florida and Pitt over the (April 28-29) weekend,” family spokesperson Alexes Hargrove told NYChoops.net. “(KU coach) Bill Self saw him personally.”

Self and other college coaches watched Lawrence compete at the recent Philly Jamfest.

experience of KU’s roster and the inconsistency of the few upperclassmen.

“It’s those two things right on,” Price said.

While the Jayhawks let their chances pass them by, the Bears finally capitalized on theirs. Missouri State scored three runs on two hits and an error in the top of the 11th to blow the game wide-open. Despite Sunday’s loss being a nonconference game, Stanfield said everyone in the KU dugout was upset.

“We’re not taking any game off,” he said. “We’re not thinking about any game any differently than the next one.”

The Jayhawks won’t have much time to think about this latest setback.

Between final exams this week and a crucial series with Kansas State this weekend, there’s a lot to look ahead to.

“Every time we play them it’s a battle,” Stanfield said of K-State.

As has been the case during finals week the past few seasons, Price said the Jayhawks would be off today and Tuesday.

“So they can focus on finals, rest their brains, if you will, and get refreshed,” he said. “That seems to have worked for us the last few years.”

He also likes that the four days between games will give his team a chance to get healthy.

“We’re a little beat up right now, so, if anything, we’ll get a chance to rest our bodies and be ready for the last two weeks.”

plications just sweeten the pot.

“It just makes it even more exciting,” Stoll said.

“It just adds to the drama.”

For the Lions, Sutliffe said going 1-3 in their last four should fuel the fire against FSHS, because Lawrence has aspired for a state championship all season.

“It’s not about the Free State games,” the senior first baseman said, “it’s about the last two weeks in May.” Willoughby, a senior shortstop, saw the scrappy Firebirds play at the River City Baseball Festival in April. He said LHS won’t be guaranteed anything.

“Their team doesn’t

give up. I think that’s their biggest strength,” Willoughby said. “They just don’t really care. They’re gonna do what they can to win.”

Cleavinger is slated to start on the mound in his home finale. Hill called the lefty “the headline player in our community right now,” and FSHS senior second baseman Tim Turner said the Firebirds’ pitchers will have to match the Lions’ ace.

“We’ve got to stick to our strengths — pitching and defense — and try to squeeze out a run here or there,” Turner said.

Ryan Cantrell is scheduled to start for FSHS.

Pattin shook his hand and re-introduced himself.

“I think the coolest part was not only could we step on the field, we were sitting in the dugout, and the weird thing was I was thinking, ‘Babe Ruth probably sat in the seat we’re sitting in right now,’” Bailey said.

He also enjoyed partaking in the world’s largest toast during which everyone in the ballpark toasted a Welch’s sparkling grape juice cocktail.

Away from the ballpark, his grandfather treated him to a meal of stuffed lobster and cherry stone clams. After his last bite, Bailey made his grandfather’s trip by telling him, “Papa, that’s the best meal I’ve ever had in my life.”

Bailey and his brothers, Blaine and Brock, are set to attend Tuesday’s game

between the Royals and Red Sox at Kauffman Stadium. Bailey said he plans to wear “half Red Sox and half Royals” gear.

The Red Sox (11-16) need all the help they can get. They open the three-game series tonight with a five-game losing streak and are coming off a 9-6, 17-inning loss Sunday to the Baltimore Orioles, whose designated hitter Chris Davis went 0-for-8 at the plate and earned the victory on the mound with two shutout innings.

In doing so, Davis became the first American League position player to become the winning pitcher since Rocky Colavito in 1968. That’s right, designated hitters are considered position players, even though they don’t play a position.

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Pujols finally Halo-homers The Associated Press

American League Angels 4, Blue Jays 3 ANAHEIM, CALIF. — Albert Pujols finally hit a home run for the Angels, ending the longest power drought of his career Sunday.

Pujols connected in the fifth inning for his first AL homer and the 446th overall. When he returned to the dugout, he had it all to himself. No players, no coaches, no batboys.

Pujols’ teammates gave him the ol’ silent treatment, a plot hatched by Torii Hunter. They were all waiting for the slugger in the tunnel leading to the clubhouse. Then, a burst of euphoria and they were all back on the bench, high-fiving and slapping him all over his body.

The three-time NL MVP had gone 33 games and 139 at-bats dating to last year without a home run in the regular season. He had a three-homer game for the champion St. Louis Cardinals in the World Series.

Orioles 9, Red Sox 6, 17 Innings BOSTON — In the first major-league game since 1925 in which both teams put a position player on the mound, Baltimore designated hitter Chris Davis overcame an awful day at the plate by pitching two scoreless innings and getting the win as the Orioles outlasted Boston.

Davis went 0-for-8, striking out five times and grounding into a double play. But in a season full of surprises for the Orioles, a first baseman by trade delivered the biggest one yet in a crazy game at Fenway Park.

Adam Jones hit a threerun homer in the top of the 17th off Darnell McDonald (0-1), an outfielder the Red Sox turned to once their bullpen was empty.

Boston then put two runners on to start the 17th against Davis (1-0), making his pro pitching debut. With a fastball in the mid-80s (mph), he struck out All-Star slugger Adrian Gonzalez and got McDonald to ground into a double play to end a game that took 6 hours, 7 minutes.

The last time two teams brought in position players to pitch in the same game was Oct. 4, 1925,

WASHINGTON REDSKINS QUARTERBACK ROBERT GRIFFIN III (10) THROWS in front of quarterback Kirk Cousin during the last day of the team’s rookie NFL training camp on Sunday at Redskins Park in Ashburn, Va.

Shanahan: Griffin III Redskins’ starter ASHBURN, VA. (AP) — No sense fooling around with a talent like Robert Griffin III. Barely a week after the draft, the Washington Redskins are already proclaiming the Heisman Trophy winner their No. 1 quarterback.

Saying that Griffin has the ability to do things no one else has done in the NFL, coach Mike Shanahan wrapped up a rookie minicamp Sunday by putting RGIII squarely atop the depth chart.

“He’s the starter. Period,” Shanahan said.

Shanahan said Griffin will begin working with the first-teamers when the veterans reconvene for offseason workouts later this month. Fourth-round pick Kirk Cousins and last year’s starter Rex Grossman will share snaps to sort out the second- and third-string spots.

Shanahan said the Redskins didn’t go through all the trouble to get Griffin — trading three firstround picks and a secondrounder to the St. Louis Rams for the No. 2 overall spot — just to have him play backup. The coach said he made the decision even before the three-day minicamp.

“We’re going to adjust our system to what he feels comfortable with,” Shanahan said, “and we’ll

“

It’s been awhile since we’ve been able to do football things.

We’ve been doing combines and beauty pageants on pro days, so it’s time to get to football.”

— Washington Redskins rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III watch him grow and we’ll do what we feel like he can do and what he does the best. ... One thing the NFL is not used to is a quarterback with his type of speed and his type of throwing ability, so I think we can do some things that people haven’t done.”

With his announcement, Shanahan managed something that’s hard to do — overshadow Griffin himself. Sunday was the first chance for reporters to see Griffin practice in a Redskins uniform, an event that attracted some 60 members of the media to a 90-minute session consisting mostly of undrafted, unsigned players trying to earn a spot at training camp.

Griffin wore the familiar No. 10 that he wore at Baylor, with the moniker “Griffin III” on the back.

His shoes were gold with burgundy laces. He’s

would be easier to get out here and to do this stuff, but it is the way it is. Everybody has got to do it.”

Luckily, the Colts and their new quarterback have come up with some creative ways to make this work.

NFL rules do not prevent rookies from working with teammates outside the team complex, nor do they prohibit communications with team officials.

So the Colts and Luck intend to take advantage of both loopholes.

Moments after taking Luck with the first overall pick April 26, general manager Ryan Grigson noted Indianapolis might use iPads and teleconferencing to help Luck’s progression. The Colts also made some shrewd moves to assist with Luck’s workouts over the next four weeks.

They took Luck’s college teammate and close friend, tight end Coby Fleener, with the 34th overall pick.

Then they signed another Stanford alum, receiver Griff Whalen, and former Cal receiver Jeremy Ross, as undrafted free agents.

Veteran receiver Austin Collie also happens to live on the outskirts of Sacramento, Calif., a roughly 21⁄2-hour drive from Stanford’s campus.

known more for his colorful collection of socks, but he went with the standard white. As usual, his sound bites were spot on.

“It’s been awhile since we’ve been able to do football things,” he said.

“We’ve been doing combines and beauty pageants on pro days, so it’s time to get to football.”

Griffin referenced the challenges he might have as a rookie starting quarterback dealing with veterans. With his disarming smile, he said he even has extra pairs of his shoes, in case the vets want them.

“I can’t come in flamboyantly, and I don’t plan to,” he said. “Come in and earn the guys’ respect.

Even if they say you’ve already got it, you’ve still got to go out and earn it.”

According to Shanahan, Griffin was everything a coach could love during the five practices that made up the minicamp.

The rookie had studied in advance and arrived with Playoffs a rudimentary knowledge NHL (x-if necessary) FIRST ROUND of the playbook.

“You can see what an (Best-of-7) Wednesday, April 11 incredible athlete he is,” Philadelphia 4, Pittsburgh 3, OT Nashville 3, Detroit 2 Shanahan said. “I was imLos Angeles 4, Vancouver 2 pressed because the first Thursday, April 12 NY Rangers 4, Ottawa 2 day we didn’t have one San Jose 3, St. Louis 2, 2OT bust with a formation or a Boston 1, Washington 0, OT play call, and I don’t think Phoenix 3, Chicago 2, OT Friday, April 13 I ever had that in any New Jersey 3, Florida 2 minicamp that I’ve been Philadelphia 8, Pittsburgh 5 Detroit 3, Nashville 2 involved with.”

Indy looking to speed up Luck’s offseason transition INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Andrew Luck already has a blueprint for his month away from the Colts.

Indy’s new quarterback plans to keep his head in the playbook, review film of this weekend’s rookie minicamp and work out with as many of his new t e a m mates — whenever and wherever — as he can.

League rules prohibit rookies from Luck attending any offseason workouts at the team complex, other than the rookie minicamp, until they have completed the college semester’s classes.

That means Luck is barred from working out at Indy’s facilities until after he finishes his final class June 7.

“It is tough. I think it is very tough,” Luck said Sunday after this weekend’s fifth and final workout. “We are going to have to find ways, legally, or to work around the rules, to get work in with the guys and start building those relationships with the veterans who can’t be here at this minicamp. As a rookie quarterback, I wish it

It gives Luck a chance to work with two projected starters and most certainly give him a better grasp of the offense when he returns to Indy on June 8.

What else can the Colts do?

Perennial Pro Bowl receiver Reggie Wayne has already contacted Luck about getting together, too. Wayne traditionally works out in Miami, where he attended college, and it just happens that Indy’s third-round pick, receiver T.Y. Hilton, is from Miami and played at nearby Florida International. The tentative plan is for Luck to travel to Miami.

Luck takes over a team that started last season with Super Bowl aspirations but finished a leagueworst 2-14 after Peyton Manning was lost for the season following multiple neck surgeries. The disastrous collapse led to a complete overhaul.

Irsay changed the front office and coaching staff in January and February, then released Manning, the longtime face of the franchise, and several other fan favorites in March.

Those moves paved the way for Luck to become the face of the post-Manning era in Indy.

Dear Annie: I have a never-ending situation with my husband, whom I love very much. We have two preteen daughters he insists on taking across the border to Mexico to visit his family. With the recent drug wars and violence there, I am beside myself. The arguments have been so heated that we’ve actually talked to lawyers.

He takes the kids to visit about once a week, and I’m strongly against it. My lawyer said that since we live in a border town, he didn’t think a court would prevent my husband from taking the kids to Mexico.

I’m not so sure. I hate to say it, but if it keeps my girls safe, I’m willing to leave him if that means he won’t be able to transport them out of the country to Mexico.

Any advice? — Texas Dear Texas: The U.S. recently issued travel warnings for Mexico.

Your husband undoubt-

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell anniesmailbox@comcast.net

edly feels there is no undue risk in visiting his family, but he is not accepting the reality of the situation there. Go online and get some upto-date statistics about the increase in violence, and see whether you can convince him to be more careful with his daughters’ lives. Is there any possibility that the in-laws could meet your husband in Texas? Would they be willing to arrange a visit in a safer area of Mexico? A divorce would not necessarily prevent your husband from taking the children across

How will TV look in 5 years?

While some wonder which shows will return next fall, the special “Stay Tuned: The Future of TV” (8 p.m., CNBC) takes a longer view. Hosted by Julia Boorstin, it presents interviews with media giants about the evolution of entertainment, advertising and media.

While new sets allow viewers to connect their personal computers to TV monitors, it’s clear that this convergence is in its infancy. Will the next big step come from a fancy new gadget introduced by a company like Apple?

Or some new must-see offering from a place like YouTube?

The future may be uncertain, but we do know the current situation is confusing and expensive.

At a time when cable (or satellite) fees have never been higher, these services have never seemed more dispensable or replaceable. Sadly, but not unexpectedly, many cable networks have responded to the threat of lost viewers not by creating “must-see” offerings, but by circling the creative wagons with mindlessly derivative and unoriginal programming.

How else to explain the sheer number of copycat series about bidding on storage lockers?

About Italian-American stereotypes behaving badly, or redneck stereotypes falling into swamps?

About cooking competitions erupting in obscene tirades?

Once-smart networks like A&E, History and National Geographic have doubled down on stupidity, superstition and the apocalyptic paranoia of doomsday preparation spectacles. Then there’s the predictably sad spotlight on sideshow behavior (toddler beauty pageants, spectacularly obese people, polygamy and tattoo parlors). Or, as I like to call it, the TLC schedule.

Tonight’s other highlights

Brennan can’t help but meddle on the set of the movie adaptation of her life on “Bones” (7 p.m., Fox).

Martha Stewart guest-stars on the season finale of “2 Broke Girls” (7 p.m., CBS).

“24/7 Wild” (8 p.m., National Geographic Wild) documents more than 150 species — presented in real time — in their natural habitat.

An ailing fellow doctor thinks he knows too much to be diagnosed on “House” (8 p.m., Fox).

Wo Fat and McGarrett become targets of the same organization on “Hawaii Five-O” (9 p.m., CBS).

Out-of-town previews don’t go smoothly on “Smash” (9 p.m., NBC).

Beckett pursues her attacker on “Castle” (9 p.m., ABC).

BIRTHDAYS

Former Sen. Pete Domenici, R-N.M., is 80. Rhythm-and-blues singer Thelma Houston is 66.

Rock musician Bill Kreutzmann (Grateful Dead) is 66. Rock musician Prairie Prince is 62. Movie writer-director Amy Heckerling is 60. Actress Traci Lords is 44.

Singer Eagle-Eye Cherry is 41.

Actor Breckin Meyer is 38.

the border, so we urge you to find a way to work this out.

Dear Annie: I am getting married in October.

Everything was going smoothly until my fiance mentioned that his mom wanted her cousin’s daughter to be a bridesmaid. I have never met “Michelle,” she doesn’t speak English, and I would feel uncomfortable having her play such an important role. My fiance said it would be a nice thing to do, especially since Michelle has cancer, but he left the decision to me.

I decided against it, but was adamant that she attend the wedding as a guest. My fiance’s family, however, felt it was an attack on them. His mom said she wouldn’t feel welcome at our wedding and refuses to attend if Michelle isn’t a bridesmaid. Then my fiance’s sister (who is a bridesmaid) said she wasn’t going to attend, either.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Monday, May 7: This year you tap into new thinking because of a special relationship. In many ways, this bond could change your life; perhaps it already has. If you are single, you easily could walk into a relationship. If you are attached, the two of you delight in your downtime together.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) Detach from a situation in which you feel you cannot get the hard-core facts. Your anger will emerge out of the blue as you become more and more frustrated in your quest for information. Tonight: Choose an activity to help you relax.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Work with others independently. You might be best off straying from past decisions and opening up to potentially better ideas. Tonight: Dinner for two.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) You’ll need feedback from others before you can seek a solution.

You might be overtired and withdrawn. Tonight: Be spontaneous.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Pace yourself, as you have a lot of ground to cover. You could be thinking about an option that suddenly reveals itself. Tonight: Soak away your stress.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) A little rosy haze can enrich your life. Whether you are brainstorming about a project, having a fun conversation or eyeing a loved one, wearing rose-colored glasses can make you happier — but at what cost? Tonight: Be receptive of others’ insights.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

I now feel Michelle has to be a bridesmaid in order to keep the peace.

Was I selfish to deny her in the first place? My fiance’s mom says no matter what I do, she will never look at me the same way.

— Bride-to-Be Dear Bride: Let’s get a couple of things straight.

Yes, the bride selects her bridesmaids, and the future in-laws should not be pressuring and threatening you. However, this particular choice means a great deal to them, and it is wise for a bride to periodically please her future in-laws. Including Michelle from the start would have been a minor inconvenience to you while gaining lots of brownie points with your fiance and his family. If you stick to your guns, you’ll end up with nothing. So suck it up, apologize profusely, and say you didn’t realize how important it was to include Michelle and you’d be proud to do so. jacquelinebigar.com

You might not realize that you are the source of an issue, especially one regarding your personal life. Your ability to read between the lines might put your focus too much on the other party and not enough on your own culpability. Tonight: Respond. Do not react.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Conversations could be vague and at times, carry an edge.

Avoid playing into a provocative situation. Tonight: Visit with others.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Stay sensitive to the costs of a friendship and/or project. You could become unusually irritated otherwise. Tonight: Treat yourself.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might feel very good, but there is an issue involving others and their interactions with you. Listen to your intuition with a boss who is about to go on the warpath. Tonight: Let someone else be spontaneous.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might want to carefully rethink a challenge or new idea. You are driven to detach and see beyond what has been apparent. Tonight: Behind the scenes, doing your thing.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Your friendship means a lot to many people. How you manage and deal with a friend or loved one could change because of his or her personality and demands.

Tonight: Find your friends.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Your take-charge attitude might be far more appreciated than others let on. A key associate could give you a lot of flak. Tonight: Burning the candle at both ends.

Knitting connections Go to the land, our lives GREEN N

ormally fumble-fingered, I have developed a passion for knitting. My motivation to learn owes largely to my membership in local shepherd Barbara Clark’s knitting CSA (Community Supported Agriculture). Each spring and fall, I am invited to the sheering and a hearty lunch. I regularly receive skeins of yarn and patterns. Now, I’m knitting a cardigan from Darwin, a friendly, chocolate brown sheep. I know where and how he lives. When the cold comes again, I will wear wool I witnessed him happy to be rid of. The whole process irrevocably connects me both to him, Barbara and her farm, a rich piece of Kaw Valley bottomland.

We’ve heard the phrase “supporting local agriculture” so much, that it has become almost hackneyed, so much so that all of us need these occasional reminders of the reasons it remains a vital and important action.

Food safety. One of the best ways to ensure the quality of your agricultural products — that they haven’t been sprayed with chemicals, aren’t contaminated with E. coli, or that animals were not abused or dosed with hormones and antibiotics — is to know the farmer who produced them.

Food security. Supporting local agriculture now represents an investment in a healthy food and fiber economy that will sustain Douglas County despite the vagaries of the future: scarcity of oil, animal and plant diseases, soil depletion and climate shifts.

Building community. A healthy local agricultural economy both builds and requires healthy relationships. “One of the biggest tragedies of the recent economic downturn was that these connections between people were missing,” Clark says.

“Lenders didn’t have to know the people they affected. Community can’t be quantified, but when people need help, they need faces and names. In the future, that will become increasingly true when it comes to food.”

Flavor and nutrition. Though living in the last half of the 20th century trained many of us to eat whatever food we want

KELLY BARTH

THE NEWLY SHORN SHEEP whenever we want it —watermelon in winter, fresh broccoli all year — eating seasonally and preserving what you can is a much more old-fashioned, sustainable way to eat.

Though some people complain about how quickly local food spoils, says The Merc’s local produce buyer, Susanne Stover, this is a sign that it is, in a real sense, still alive.

“When your food breaks down quickly, it reveals the presence of beneficial enzymes and microbes in the food that assist in digestion when you eat it. If produce sits in your refrigerator for weeks and doesn’t rot, that means it’s a pretty sterile, less nutritious food.”

Biodiversity. Small, diverse farms change the industrial paradigm of monoculture. As Clark says, “If I planted only one type of tomato and it didn’t produce, I’d have a crop failure. But because I also grew other types that weren’t vulnerable to the same things, I still had a crop. I’m small enough to adapt.” The reason industrial farming has to rely on large-scale pesticide and fertilizer application is because monocultures require them. Insects can’t take as strong a hold in diverse plantings,

and planting a rotation of crops doesn’t deplete the soil of any one particular nutrient. Rather than depending on petrochemical-based fertilizer applications, diverse farms can produce their own fertilizer in the form of manure, cover crops, crop rotation, and compost.

Social and environmental justice. Because of its enormous scale and exacting profit margins, industrial farming often leads to the abuse of both humans and animals caught within it. Because they value their land, local producers consider what is best for it and the plants, animals, and humans it sustains. This explains the higher price tag attached to local food.

The integrity and time it takes to provide living wages and to support the vitality of surrounding soils, woods, streams, and meadows and the creatures that inhabit them increases the price. “But, at The Merc,” Stover says, “I’m seeing more and more consumers making that choice, which keeps farmers on their land and people employed. In response, we’re seeing many farmers scaling up to provide more products and extending the growing season with things like high tunnels.”

In his essay “The Whole Horse,” farmer and writer Wendell Berry reminds readers of just this vital connection between city and countryside, “They [local economists] are learning to see the city, not just as a built and paved municipality … but rather as a part of a local community which includes also the city’s rural neighbors, its surrounding landscape and its watershed, on which it might depend for at least some of its necessities, and for the health of which it might exercise a competent concern and responsibility.”

LAWRENCE LOCALES

A must-visit: Haskell Cultural Center

BY MARGIE CARR

W

hen local historian Katie Armitage has out-of-town visitors, there is one place they always go: the Haskell Cultural Center and Museum.

“It is a unique experience and an underused jewel,” says Armitage. “It is part of our heritage that people, especially those from Europe, really enjoy learning about.”

The museum at 143 Barker Ave. on the campus of Haskell Indian Nations University opened 10 years ago as part of a national effort by the American Indian Higher Education Consortium to create repositories for Native American art and culture. Among its missions is tracing the history of Haskell itself, from its origins in 1884 as the U.S. Indian Industrial Training School to its place today as a four-year, degree-granting university.

The school is named for Kansas Congressman Dudley Haskell, younger brother of famed architect John. As chairman of the Committee on Indian Affairs, Haskell was able to convince his fellow legislators that the fertile ground around Lawrence was an ideal place to teach agricultural vocations to the Native population. By the end of the first year, there were more than 400 students from tribes enrolled in the government-run boarding school, and they came from all over the country: Osage, Cherokee, Omaha, Delaware, Hopi, Ute, and Sioux to name a few.

Haskell’s first students grew their own crops, prepared their own meals and severed all ties with their Native traditions. Hair was cut, military-style uniforms were mandatory and English was the only language allowed. There was to be no conversing among siblings and no practicing of tribal customs or traditions.

A small cemetery on the campus attests to the bleak conditions in the early days of Haskell. The first year, 10 students died from pneumonia. Over the next five years, 49 deaths were recorded from diseases, illness and accidents.

It was nearly 50 years, 1933, before Haskell was to get its first Native superintendent, Dr. Henry Roe Cloud. Cloud, the first Native person to graduate from Yale University, introduced a different, more progressive, curriculum to the school, one that emphasized Native cultures. Students still learned trades such as nursing, printing and machinery, but

assimilation was no longer the goal.

High school classes were no longer offered after 1964, and in 1970 the school officially became Haskell Indian Junior College, a name it kept until 1993 when it started offering four-year baccalaureate programs, and it officially became Haskell Indian Nations University.

The collection documenting the school’s history preserves and exhibits artifacts from Haskell’s past, and it is a collection that is continually growing.

PHOTOGRAPHS FROM THE FRANK A. RINEHART COLLECTION at Haskell’s Cultural Center and Museum include portraits from the Trans-Mississippi Exposition and Indian Congress in 1898 in Omaha, Neb.

“He is asking for spending money, and he talks about an outbreak of scarlet fever on the campus,” says Cooper. “He must have been a younger student because in one of the letters he says that the ‘large boys’ are forming a football team.”

In addition to the exhibits depicting Haskell’s history, the museum collects paintings and artwork from current and former students and faculty. It also houses one of the finest collections of photographs of Native American leaders from the turn of the century. The Rinehart Collection is a selection of more than 800 glass plate negatives from photographs of Native American leaders who attended the Trans-Mississippi Exposition and Indian Congress in Omaha, Neb., in 1898.

The treasures at the Haskell University Cultural Center extend beyond the walls of the museum. Just outside the center is the Garden of Healing, a collection of plants native to the area and used by Native Americans for centuries to help with burns, wounds, insect bites, and inflammation. They include echinacea, sage and blue verbena.

Several hundred yards to the south of the museum, and just north of the Baker Wetlands, is the Haskell Medicine Wheel Earthwork, which was designed by Haskell professors, students, and crop artist Stan Herd in 1992 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Christopher Columbus’ arrival.

This part of America’s history and heritage, the long, complicated relationship between Native people and white culture, is not something that can be fully under-

Dr. Wes: The last day of school is just weeks away. If you’re a senior (like Miranda!) your high school days are even fewer in number. So what’s on your teen agenda for summer 2012? If the answer is limited to video games, sleep and general mayhem, now is the time to plan a summer overhaul.

Relaxation. Kids face more than their share of anxiety during the school year.

Between schoolwork, extracurriculars, employment and social life, there’s a lot to worry about and get done. Teens deserve some unstructured time in the summer to decompress, and parents should keep that in mind before over-scheduling summer plans. A good rule of thumb is to have about 25 percent to 30 percent dedicated to nonproductive activities, though there may be some debate about what that includes. While parents might see a vacation as a time to lounge, some teens will count that as structured, so it’s best to get everyone on the same page before the negotiations begin. I’d like to include recreation in this side of the equation as long as the teen sees it as fun, but competitive sports teams and camps usually fall into the next section.

Accomplishing something. An under-scheduled teenage summer increases the chances for problems. That old saying about “idle hands and the devil” came from somewhere, and I’m guessing it was the summer of some Pilgrim’s 16th year.

A veggie dish that’s true to the season

BY MARIO BATALI

T

hough they freeze better than most vegetables, peas are at their best during spring, pulled straight from the pod. At this time of year in my restaurants, shelling peas is almost a full-time job.

Favas have been around for longer than any other bean we know of today. And like many now-revered Italian ingredients, the fava bean was used in peasant cooking for centuries. Recipes for fava or broad beans have appeared in every canonical Italian cookbook, and the preparations are diverse.

Fresh, young fava beans are especially delicious served raw from their pods, with a sharp young cheese.

The key is not to mess with the natural freshness of the pea. In this recipe, I saute the peas and beans lightly with olive oil and onions; then I combine them with new potatoes and season with fresh herbs.

Favas and Sugar Snap Peas with Potatoes and Tarragon Recipe courtesy of “Molto Batali” (ecco, 2011) 4 pounds fresh fava beans in the pod, shelled and peeled to yield 2 cups favas (see note) 2 pounds fresh sugar snap peas, strings removed

Add the sliced potatoes and cook for another 5 minutes. Add more salt and pepper as needed, cook for an additional 5 minutes, and remove from the heat. Add the herbs, stir thoroughly and serve.

If not, blanch the beans in a medium pot of boiling salted water for 30 seconds, just to loosen the skins. Drain, transfer to an ice bath to cool, and drain again. To peel the favas, pinch open the skin at one end of each bean and squeeze out the bean.

‘LIKE MOTHER LIKE DAUGHTER’

BY SARAH HENNING

W

hen Jeanne Averill learned her daughter Trish wanted to follow in her footsteps as a drama teacher, Averill was thrilled but sort of mystified. “(I thought) … do you really want to repeat what you saw me doing?” Averill says.

“Sitting at the dining room table grading papers at night and spending long hours at rehearsal … your whole career?”

But sure enough, Trish Averill Neuteboom wanted to do that, though it took her awhile to figure that out. It wasn’t as simple as watching her mother grade papers as a child and having a light click on inside her head.

“When I left for college, I planned to become a performer and director rather than a teacher, but as I went through school, I found that I had way more fun running rehearsals and collaborating than I did as the actor,” Averill Neuteboom says. “I started teaching camps and classes and realized how much I loved watching students make discoveries and how they helped me learn as well. Those experiences drew me toward public education and after a year at Kennedy Elementary as a para educator, I was hooked.”

Now, mother and daughter are marking Mother’s Day with the same general plan: celebrate with each other and talk about what’s going on next for each of them in their Lawrence school district classrooms. Trish teaches communication arts, language arts and speech/drama classes to sixth-, seventh- and eighth-graders at Southwest Middle School, where she has been for six years. Meanwhile, mom Jeanne teaches in the same school, Lawrence High, where she taught Trish and hundreds of other drama students during the past eight years. In the three decades

TEACHERS TRISH AVERILL NEUTEBOOM, LEFT, AND HER MOTHER, JEANNE AVERILL, review a lesson together.

Trish teaches at Southwest Middle School, and her mom works at Lawrence High School. The two often bounce ideas off each other, as do other mother-daughter pairs who share careers. she’s been teacher, Averill has also taught students in the Perry-Lecompton and Shawnee Heights school districts.

“I have learned so much about teaching from my mother over the years,” says Trish, who took acting classes and dramatic and Shakespearean literature from her mother as a high school student. “Now, I draw on what I remember from then as well as the discussions that we currently have. I absolutely still look to and rely on her input

and expertise in my teaching work today.”

Though she’s been teaching more than 30 years, Averill insists that she still learns techniques and bounces teaching ideas off her daughter.

“We often ‘process’ our days and our work loads. We totally ask and give each other advice,” Averill says. “I’ve used her lesson plans and I’m pretty sure she’s used some of mine. We definitely use each other’s ideas and often talk about things like

what would be appropriate grading or activities.”

It seems that the Averills aren’t the only case of mom and daughter finding bliss in the same career. Over at American Dream Realty, Holly Garber learned the real estate trade from her mother, Berniece.

Berniece Garber fell into the career thanks to a husband in the construction business and a love of connecting with people.

LAWRENCE MOTHER AND DAUGHTER REALTY DUO Berniece and Holly Garber are pictured on Wednesday outside their real estate office, 4105 W. Sixth St. Working together presents a few challenges, they say, but many more rewards.

“When Holly started helping me, she was in high school and I was her mom,” Berniece Garber says. “Now she is the owner of her own company and we are friends.”

Friends — and coworkers. Berniece now technically works for her daughter.

“Though on paper I am the owner of American Dream Realty, both Mom and I have put a lot in to make each other successful,” says Holly Garber, who started her company in 2002. “I feel blessed that I found something I love doing at such a young age and my mom helped me do that. I would never have started selling houses when I was 18 if my mom hadn’t believed in me.”

Believing and trusting in each other are definitely important in not only

working in the same field, but working as business partners, says Berniece, who adds that her relationship with Holly is different because of their partnership, but no less rewarding.

“Though there are unique challenges with working together, I would do it again in a heartbeat,” Berniece Garber says. “You want to ask yourself if you can respect each other and dream together.”

Other tips the women have for other mother-daughter teams who fall into the same career?

“I think it can be really good if you know what is expected from each other,” says the elder Garber, who has been in the business 15 years. “I knew so many of the pitfalls in real estate, so I tried to save Holly from falling into

those. I have tried to teach her everything I know. I am still learning, so now she is the one teaching me new things.”

The Averill women agree, with Averill Neuteboom saying that she feels lucky to have a mother whom she’s not only close to, but who really truly understands the stresses and joys of her job. In the six years that they’ve been doing the same thing at different grade levels, Averill Neuteboom says she and her mother have learned another key to making shared mother-daughter career paths really work: saying no to judgment.

“I would say remove all judgment to the table,” Averill Neuteboom says when asked what advice she’d give to other mothers and daughters on the same career track. “Instead of thinking how you would have done something or approached a situation, think about how to guide or to help the other person discover their own methods and ways to handle things. My mother has been amazing at this. Even when I make silly or rookie mistakes, she never chides or scolds, instead she lets me blunder and helps talk me through it until I reach a decision or opinion that is wholly my own. She is always supportive and helpful and, most importantly, has an objective view of the issues I bring her.”

Holly Garber has one last piece of advice: Make sure you’re going into the same career for the right reason.

Going into it just because your mother has been successful in it doesn’t mean anything unless you absolutely love the job yourself.

“Life is good when you enjoy what you do and what you do is helping people reach their dreams,” Holly Garber says. “This job makes me feel a little like a ‘home fairy godmother’ and my mom taught me that making other people happy is ultimately what will make you happy.”

May is Mental Health Month: 10 simple steps to help you de-stress

BY LAUREN WEEGE

O

ne in four. That’s how many adult Americans live with a diagnosable mental health condi-

tion.

While mental health challenges are common, they are extremely treatable and individuals go on to recover and lead full and productive lives.

May is Mental Health Month and the Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center in Lawrence is continuing to spread the word about mental health and how fundamental it is to overall health.

One distressing fact is that many people living with a mental health condition — as high as 50 percent — never seek or receive help because of stigma, lack of information, cost or lack of insurance. Many may be reluctant to ask for help or don’t know where to find it. But there are many community and national resources that can help people find support and treatment.

One new resource Bert Nash is offering is walk-in assessments for new clients seeking mental health services.

May is often a season for renewal and regeneration, and as it recognizes Mental Health Month with the community, Bert Nash intends to highlight steps people can take to protect their mental health.

For today, here are 10 simple steps to help de-stress from Harvard Medical School’s Healthbeat.

5. NOT ENOUGH TIME FOR 1. FREQUENTLY LATE? STRESS RELIEF?

Apply time management principles.

Consider your priorities (be sure to include time for yourself) and delegate or discard unnecessary tasks. Map out your day, segment by segment, setting aside time for different tasks, such as writing or phone calls. If you are overly optimistic about travel time, consistently give yourself an extra 15 minutes or more to get to your destinations. If lateness stems from dragging your heels, consider the underlying issue. Are you anxious about what will happen after you get to work or to a There is no shortage of angst-inducing social event, for example?

avoiding “you always” or “you never” zingers. Say, “I feel ___ when you .” “I would really appreciate it if you could ___.” “I need some help setting priorities. What needs to be done first and what should I tackle later?” If conflicts are a significant source of distress for you, consider taking a class on assertiveness training.

9. WORN OUT OR BURNED OUT? Focus on self-nurturing. Carve out time to practice relaxation response techniques or at least indulge in mini-relaxations. Care for your body by eating good, healthy food and for your heart by seeking out others. Give thought to creative, productive and leisure activities. Consider your priorities in life: is it worth feeling this way, or is another path open to you? If you want help, consider what kind would be best. Do you want a particular task at work to be taken off your hands? Do you want to do it at a later date? Do you need someone with particular expertise to assist you?

10. FEELING LONELY?

6. FEELING UNBEARABLY TENSE? Try massage, a hot bath, mini-relaxations, a body scan, or a mindful walk.

Practically any exercise — a brisk walk, a quick run, a sprint up and down the stairs — will help, too. Done regularly, exercise wards off tension, as do relaxation response techniques.

7. OFTEN FEEL PESSIMISTIC?

Connect with others. Even little connections — a brief conversation in line at the grocery store, an exchange about local goings-on with a neighbor, a question for a colleague — can help melt the ice within you. It may embolden you, too, to seek more opportunities to connect. Be a volunteer.

Attend religious or community functions. Suggest coffee with an acquaintance. Call a friend or relative you miss. Take an interesting class. If a social phobia, low self-esteem, or depression is dampening your desire to reach out, seek help. The world is a kinder, more wondrous place when you share its pleasures and burdens.

Remind yourself of the value of learned optimism: a more joyful life and, quite possibly, better health. Practice deflating cognitive distortions. Rent funny movies and read amusing books. Create a mental list of reasons you have to feel grateful. If the list seems too short, consider beefing up your social network and Visit bertnash.org for more informaadding creative, productive and leisure tion about services and treatments availpursuits to your life. able.

A small change in perception can make an enormous difference

I

n April our Mind Matters column was on introversion and how introverts are misunderstood and frequently mischaracterized in very negative terms.

The feedback we received was more than from all of our previous columns combined.

Comments came mostly from introverts themselves who openly revealed the struggle they have had at various times in their lives. Then there were comments from individuals who said they gained a better understanding of a friend or loved one who was less “social” or “outgoing” than the rest of their family and friends. One reader commented, “I now understand that my new son-in-law may still be having a good time with our very talkative family even though he is not chatting it up like the rest of us.”

The father of a 15-year-old boy told us his son had cut out the column and hung it on his wall. Maybe he felt better having a clearer understanding of why he was less interested in socializing than others. Maybe he felt better feeling that the energy he brings to his life is normal, not abnormal.

The theme of all the comments we received was that introverts are treated as if they are abnormal. As a result, introverts come to view themselves as flawed and therefore frequently struggle with a negative self-image that may affect them throughout their lives.

Yet another theme emerged from the feedback we received: we can truly shift our experience when we look at things differently and without judgment. When we can look at the facts without all the emotional heat, things look different. When we don’t add drama to the dharma we can see more clearly.

The feedback made us reflect more on how as a culture we are driven to judge others, compare ourselves with others and use terms that label others and ourselves in such a way as to suggest abnormality.

Mental health professionals, perhaps unwittingly in collaboration with insurance companies, further skew the cultural view of human beings as abnormal and disor-

Mind MATTERS

JENA AND ED BLOCH dered by creating a diagnosis for nearly everyone who comes to see them. It is probably no coincidence that the increase in the number of individuals diagnosed with mental health disorders has increased as dramatically as the number of mental health practitioners over the past several decades.

As alluded to earlier, sometimes it takes only a small shift in perception to change how one experiences his or her struggle.

Many of our clients are empowered by feedback that their particular struggle is normal and not pathological. As we all know, even on a good day, life can be difficult.

It is not our intention to minimize the struggles of those suffering with extreme depression, anxiety or other mental health problems. Nor is it our intention to suggest that mental health disorders are nonexistent. However, it is important to be careful with our words, for words have consequences. The words we use to describe our own experience and the words we use to describe others can have impact. We are reminded of this all the time with our 9-year-old son. He takes in and evaluates every word we say and every nonverbal cue is observed and processed. Even when we call someone “silly” it may have a strong unintended negative connotation.

This is not about being politically correct in our language. Instead, it is about seeing ourselves on the same continuum, the differences in how we manifest indications of how varietal normal human behavior is, rather than indications of individual pathology. This is about reducing the distance between you and me, us and them. Perhaps if we do, we will be more supportive in our words and less judgmental, and tomorrow life will be just a little less difficult for everyone.

STYLE off the cuff

“Stick to lightweight, washable fabrics that fit well, and those few items will go a long way.”

DAVID HALL

LEATHER TOP-SIDERS can be dressed up or down.

SEASONAL STAPLES CAN BE REPURPOSED

A

few months ago I laid the groundwork for a practical yet stylish winter wardrobe for guys.

Winter means short days and minimal time outside. Your winter staples are allowed to make daily, repeated appearances, as variety quickly gives way to functionality. It’s good to note, however, that you can bring a few of the staples with you as you transition into spring and summer.

The heavy denim you wore through those colder months has probably broken in and softened up nicely. Perhaps you have washed the denim enough that the “nextto-black” indigo has given way to a slightly brighter shade of blue. The dressier boots you might have broken in during our few snowy days have likewise grown comfortable and soft. These pieces are easily workable into the warm-weather mix.

But spring and summer are a time of more sun and activity. We tend to hang out with friends and venture outside more; consequently, our wardrobe tends to shift from simply warm and dry to a mode of freedom and self-expression.

I always make sure I have some variety of the following in my closet come spring:

A pair of slip-on shoes that can be dressed up or down. I prefer something like leather Sperry Top-Siders or, as of late, leather-soled loafers like Bass Weejuns.

These are shoes that work both thoughtfully dressed up for a summer wedding, or tossed on to go to a barbecue or farmers’ market. Check out Foxtrot and Urban Outfitters in downtown Lawrence for a nicely curated collection of spring shoes.

A few pairs of lighter weight chinos in staple colors like olive, gray and khaki.

I prefer slim and tailored so they go well will a low-profile shoe. These pants, again, will work well dressed up. Or you can roll them up with a casual button-down or Tshirt, and they will look just as cool. They will also give the jeans you’ve been wearing constantly a day or two off each week.

My favorites are Baldwin’s Ryan Trousers found at the Baldwin Men’s Shop in Leawood.

absolutely everything and you’ll stay cool enough all day even in long sleeves. Find them at Wildman or Arizona Trading Co. for super cheap or virtually any store that carries men’s clothes.

Make sure they fit well, though, as they are oftentimes made too billowy under the false pretense that they keep you cooler that way.

A lightweight wool blazer in some shade of blue. This sounds really specific, but if you pick up a great fitting blue blazer, I promise you will be covered for almost any formal occasion that might pop up between BRIGHT T-SHIRTS are versatile, and now and October. A few of my favorites can those heavy winter denims can be softbe found at Suit Supply online. ened up for spring.

A handful of brighter colored Tshirts. I almost exclusively wear American Apparel; they cost a bit more, but the fit is spot on and their 50/50 fabrics are incredibly comfortable. You can pick them up at Oxford cloth button-downs in both ACME and Hobbs in downtown Lawrence. short and long-sleeve. I always make sure I have these breathable shirts around Finally, a pair of canvas sneakers. Vans, in a light blue and white, as they go with Seavees and Generic Surplus (to name only a

few) all make excellent canvas sneakers in both fun bright colors and match-to-anything basics.

These are the bare bones of a super simple and interchangeable spring wardrobe that will fit your more active lifestyle.

Stick to lightweight, washable fabrics that fit well, and those few items will go a long way.

Moms figure it out as they go

River City Jules

Protect your skin this Summer with Bare Escentuals New SPF 20 Moisturizer

I

n honor of Mother’s Day, I’d like to pay tribute to my mom, Mary. In the 40 years I have known her, Mom has not only lovingly fed, clothed and advised us, but she has also risen to the challenges of chairing the PTA, defeating cancer and entertaining our dad.

However, it is the way she completed our family that leaves me the most in awe.

After months of hard work I prefer not to think about, my parents were thrilled to be expecting baby No. 3. They had two lovely daughters and assumed another girl was on the way, as did the doctor, who, four years earlier, had been so convinced my little sister was actually twins, he Xrayed my mom only to find one large baby and was not about to be fooled by Mom’s girth this time.

And so it came to pass, when Mom was two days overdue and down to two maternity tops that still fit, that her doctor induced her.

Her contractions started at 1 that sunny afternoon, fast and furious. The nurse placed an internal monitor on the baby’s scalp and wrapped an external monitor around Mom’s enormous belly, both to measure the baby’s heart rate.

Much happened over the next 30 minutes. Dad noticed the two heart monitors were beating at different rates. The nurse noticed that Mom’s abdomen took on a strange shape when it contracted. And Mom became fully dilated.

“Has anyone ever talked to you about the possibility of twins?” the nurse asked, observing Mom’s belly.

“Mostly strangers at the grocery store,” Mom replied through rapid breaths, “but not my doctor, and I need to push!”

As she panted on the delivery table (without an epidural) waiting for her doctor to scrub up, Mom noted the nurs-

ing staff in the room had suddenly doubled and a second newborn warmer was brought in.

Confused, she looked up at her doctor and, speaking around her protruding stomach, asked, “Dr. Richards, am I having twins?”

Dr. Richards looked down at Mom and smiled. “Mary, I don’t know yet. But when I find out, you will be the first person I tell.

Now, go ahead and push!”

Philip was born at 1:52.

“He looks pretty small,” the nurse said.

And, placing her hands on Mom’s belly, told the doctor, “There’s another one right here!”

Dad’s jaw hit the floor. Michael was born six minutes later.

The delivery room erupted with cheers of joy and the wailing of 14 pounds of two healthy newborn boys. Mom and Dad called their friends and family, starting with their mothers.

“Oh, Mary,” my grandmother cried in disbelief before asking a question we still repeat often, “What are we going to do with them?”

“I was hoping you would tell me!” Mom replied.

But, like mothers tend to do, she figured it out along the way. And beautifully.

Happy Mother’s Day to my mom and to all of us moms who are figuring it out along the way.

eplacing a frost-free outdoor spigot can be as easy as unscrewing it from the wall, but chances are it will be a little more complicated than that.

Step 1: Turn the water supply off and open the spigot to let any residual water drain out.

Step 2: Remove the two screws holding the spigot in place on the exterior wall.

Step 3: Go inside and locate the backside of the outdoor spigot. For finished basements, this may mean cutting a hole into the existing drywall.

Step 4: Examine the point at which the outdoor spigot meets the indoor plumbing. If you are lucky, the outdoor spigot is simply screwed into a female pipe fitting; otherwise, it is probably soldered into place.

Step 5: For spigots that are screwed into place, use two pairs of locking pliers or adjustable wrenches. Hold the female pipe fitting in place with one wrench while you carefully turn the end of the outdoor spigot counterclockwise until the two pieces are disconnected. For spigots that are soldered to copper tubing, use emery cloth to clean the copper tubing an inch or two from the end of the spigot. Then use a tubing cutter to cut the copper tubing in half.

Step 6: Once the spigot is disconnected from the pipe or tubing, go back outside and carefully pull the old spigot out through the wall.

Step 7: Insert the new spigot into the existing hole.

Step 8: For applications where copper tubing has been cut, solder a female pipe adapter onto the exposed end of the copper tubing. If soldering is not a good option, a compression fitting or a Sharkbitetype female adapter may be used instead.

Step 9: Wrap the end of the new out-

door spigot with three layers of Teflon tape, or coat the pipe threads with pipe thread seal.

Step 10: Use the two pairs of locking pliers or adjustable wrenches to attach the new spigot to the female pipe fitting by turning the spigot clockwise.

Step 11: Once the spigot is securely attached, turn the water supply back on to test for leaks.

Step 12: Turn the water supply off, open the spigot to drain any residual water and tighten the pipe thread connection until all leaks have stopped.

Step 13: Return outside and secure the new spigot into place using rustproof screws. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Linda Cottin can be reached at go@ljworld.com.
