High school seniors play waiting game

Though finished with classes, students don’t graduate for two weeks

Neel Patel walked out of his AP Calculus AB class at 2 p.m. Friday, finally closing the book on his three-year term as a Lawrence High School student.

Done. Finished. Outta here.

“Technically,” he shrugged Friday.

That’s because he really isn’t done.

He’ll leave that for Mack Pryor, a senior who is among students who still need to take finals Monday and Tuesday. Pryor missed more than five classes this semester, so he couldn’t opt out.

I’m going to — perhaps — mess in my pants.

I’m about two weeks into my exploration of the world of bridge, the historic card game that once seemed to rule the world of entertainment. Fortunately, I learn that a meat ax is just slang for a killer hand. But still, I’m nervous. This class is about over, and I’m just minutes from playing my first bridge game.

Police advise residents to ignore panhandlers

LE-ASA WOODS, 12, LEFT, AND ONNA PHYTHYON, 12, draw chalk flowers on Pat Slimmer’s 1976 Cadillac during the Lawrence Community Nursery School’s Red School Rockin’ Music Festival on Saturday in Burcham Park. People at the event were decorating Slimmer’s car for the Art Tougeau Parade, coming up on May 28. “It was the longest two-door GM ever made,” said Slimmer about his black Caddy.

Colleen Sims says the story is common.

The Lawrence resident gets approached by a woman in the parking lot of a local store. The woman says she’s a victim of domestic violence and asks for money for a bus ticket or gas.

Sims, who’s encountered this several times recently, declines.

She’s seen one of the women drive off in a newer car, and she said she’s offended by someone using domestic violence as a pretense for soliciting money.

“It’s more like scamming people,” she said.

Such behavior is illegal under a city ordinance — enacted in

Prohibited under the city’s aggressive panhandling ordinance: ● Blocking the entrance to someone’s vehicle or a building. ● Requesting money after someone has already declined. ● Making threatening gestures or July 2006 — outlawing “aggressive panhandling,” because it’s being done on private property, said Jerry Little, Lawrence city prosecutor.

Panhandling in public areas, such as on sidewalks downtown, is legal as long as panhandlers avoid prohibited behavior such as panhandling within 20 feet of an ATM, blocking someone’s path, or using verbal or physical threats.

comments.

● Asking for money at a bus stop or on

a city bus, at a vehicle stopped in traffic, or within 20 feet of an ATM or bank. ● On private property without consent of the owner.

Rarely do such cases lead to prosecution, and Lawrence Municipal Court hasn’t seen any cases in the past six months, Little said. Violation of the ordinance is a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine and up to 30 days in jail.

Mike Bodkin, assistant manager at Kohl’s, 3240 Iowa, said the store occasionally gets complaints from customers with sto-

ries similar to Sims’. Annoying potential shoppers, panhandling is bad for business, Bodkin said, and his store will send out security when panhandling is reported.

Lawrence Police Sgt. Matt Sarna said police categorize calls about aggressive panhandling as “nuisance calls,” but they don’t have a specific designation for aggressive panhandling. In 2010, Lawrence police handled 476 nuisance calls, which usually spike in the summer months, Sarna said.

Sarna advises people approached by panhandlers on private property to “ignore them, walk away and call the police.”

Bridge CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

learning a card game; I’m learning a foreign language — the language of bridge.

That’s disconcerting to me.

You see, I’m the fellow who took 16 hours of Spanish at Kansas University, and then just recently — in a one-word conversation with a Spanish speaker — screwed it up. I said por favor — the Spanish word for please — when I meant to say gracias — the Spanish word for thank you.

I didn’t have the heart to share that story with my fellow bridge classmate, former KU Chancellor Robert Hemenway. (It can be that type of a game. About a third of the people in the room have doctorates.) But the story is true. Oh well, it will come in handy.

I won’t have any trouble recognizing the look of confusion my bridge partner is soon to give me. ●●●

Bridge is certainly spoken in Lawrence. In fact, the city is sort of a capital for the game in this area. Five days per week, the Kaw Valley Bridge Club meets in its rented space in the I-70 Business Center. The club is open to anyone who has an interest in bridge, and for $6 you can play in a game that will while away anywhere from three to four hours.

“It is a very cheap way to buy insults for a whole afternoon,” said Eldon Herd, who has played the game since the 1950s and is one of the driving forces in the club.

MEETING TIMES The Kaw Valley Bridge Club, 1025 N. Third Street, hosts five games each week that are open to the public. They are: ● 6:45 p.m. Mondays ● 12:30 p.m. Wednesdays ● 9 a.m. Thursdays ● 12:30 p.m. Fridays ● 1 p.m. Sundays Club members recommended the Thursday or Sunday games for less-experienced players.

It is my day off, and I’m reading a bridge book. It is 340 pages, and it is about nothing but bidding. A bit discouraging, considering that bidding is the part of the game that takes place before you even start to lay any cards on the table. There are three more books of equal length that talk about the actual playing of the cards and other aspects.

But bidding is important. It is the foreign language part of this game. Your bid tells your partner something about your hand. Your partner’s bid tells you something about his.

The bids ask questions.

There are endless questions because the same bid can mean different things depending on when it was made and what it was made after. For example, a bid of 2 Clubs may not mean anything at all about Clubs. Such tricky bidding is called a convention. Yes, there are entire series of books written about nothing but conventions. I tell the room upfront that the only thing I know about conventions is that they sometimes are a good place to get free drinks.

My very first hand, I have to make a bid. That’s the thing about bridge. The cards dictate what you have to do. If I were to pass with this hand, my partner may pass out. Of course, I bid it wrong. My partner, Herd, realizes that when the hand is completed.

“That will be a good one for us to go back over when we’re finished,” he says.

If I knew we were going to do that every time I messed up, I would have brought my pajamas.

I quickly realize I wish I had Virginia’s 91-year-old mind. Honestly, I sometimes forgot the last card I played, let alone what someone else played. One hand was murder. It seemed like every card I played went wrong. At the end of the hand, my partner congratulated me. We had done well. Go figure.

But that was rare. I did not know a deck of cards could bludgeon a man so badly.

Near the end of the game, I learned one of the fellow players is the mother of Lawrence’s police chief. I wish I would have known earlier. I would have called him.

Surely, what these people were doing to me was a crime.

AFTER EVERY HAND in the bridge games played in North Lawrence, the cards are put into a box and sent to the next table to be played.

a life of card playing.

“It is a good life if you can get by with it,” he says.

Sutton doesn’t play bridge for money. It can be done, but few do. He plays it because it is a better test of skill. In duplicate bridge — the kind the club plays — the element of being dealt a good hand is removed. Every hand is dealt before the beginning of the game. The cards are never shuffled again. By the end of the day, each player will have played the same hand once.

Scoring for the tournament isn’t based on whether you win the hand, but rather how well you played a particular set of cards compared with how everybody else played that set.

“The problem with poker is that everybody thinks they are better than they are,” Sutton said. “That’s not a problem in bridge.”

I’m not an expert in either game, but the two seem to have a fundamental difference: In poker, you go to the table alone and often lie to the world; in bridge, you have a partner whom you always try to be true to.

“One of the most important things in this game is you have to trust your partner,” Herd says. “Every partner makes mistakes, but if you stop trusting, things start to destruct.”

Sutton hopes some poker players find their way over to bridge.

“I hope we can sell it,” he says. “It is a beautiful game.”

A beautiful philosophy.

By the end, it was just me and Herd and the pair we were playing. I was the slowest player there. I made no apologies. I was just glad I didn’t have to resort to taking off my boots to do all the arithmetic involved in the game. My brain was tired, and Sutton was standing behind me. I would point at a card and look to see how he shook his head.

I did not see a name for this strategy in the books I read. I think it might be called cheating. It was the best strategy I used all day.

How did the day end, you ask? My brain was so mushy I don’t honestly remember, but it probably ended with me putting my partner and me in the wrong suit and failing to make the contract. But it also ended with me going home and looking for a bridge program online.

As for a score, it is complicated in duplicate bridge, but Herd tells me that we took the top spot for one hand. In other words, we played that set of cards better than anybody else. Many others, we did not. But I’ll take it for a beginner.

What’s that, you say? Congratulations? Well, that’s very nice of you. As they say in Spain, por favor.

Huckabee won’t run for president Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee said Saturday he won’t seek the Republican presidential nomination, choosing to stick with a lucrative career as a television and radio personality over a race that would be both costly and caustic.

“All the factors say go, but my heart says no,” Huckabee, the winner of the 2008 Iowa caucuses, said on his Fox News Channel show.

Huckabee’s decision further muddies the GOP field as the Republican Party seeks a challenger for President Barack Obama.

IMF head questioned for sex assault

Prosecutors unsatisfied with DUI legislation

The leader of the International Monetary Fund and a possible candidate for president of France was pulled from an airplane moments before he was to fly to Paris and was being questioned Saturday by police in connection with the sexual assault of a hotel maid, police said.

Dominique Strauss-Kahn was taken off the Air France flight at John F. Kennedy International Airport by officers from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and turned over to police Saturday afternoon, said Paul J. Browne, New York Police Department spokesman.

He was being questioned by the NYPD special victims office. Strauss-Kahn had retained an attorney and was not making statements to the police, Browne said. No charges have yet been filed.

The 32-year-old woman told authorities that she entered Strauss-Kahn’s room at the Sofitel near Manhattan’s Times Square at about 1 p.m. Saturday and he emerged from the bedroom naked, threw her down and attacked her, Browne said.

Branson says bill gives repeat offenders ‘a break’

“Our goal: nothing to landfill and nothing going overseas,” explained Bob Akers from Surplus Exchange, the nonprofit that would cart the electronics across the country. Teams in Iowa, Missouri and Canada are to de-assemble the products, remove harmful materials and figure out ways to reuse what’s left, Akers said.

Even with fees ranging

As Kansas House and Senate negotiators agreed last week on a bill that would strengthen the state’s DUI penalties, Douglas County’s top prosecutor worried it would be too lenient on some repeat DUI offenders.

“The change gives chronic DUI offenders a break on their criminal history,” Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson said.

“Someone that would have faced significant penalties Branson may now be facing the same sanctions as a first- or second-time offender.”

The bill, which requires all DUI offenders to use an ignition interlock device, passed both chambers with unanimous votes Thursday and awaits Gov. Sam Brownback’s signature.

Branson voiced concerns about a provision that makes July 1, 2001, the cutoff date instead of a person’s entire life when considering someone’s prior DUI

The flight to the International Space Station will be led by commander Mark Kelly, the husband of U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who was critically wounded during a January shooting rampage in Tucson, Ariz. She was present for the first launch attempt and is to be on hand for this one as well.

Mission management team chairman Mike Moses said Saturday he is confident the repairs took care of the electrical short and blown fuse that prevented a string of heaters from turning on during the first launch attempt April 29.

By Brenna Hawley bhawley@ljworld.com

Rick Farrier sat at home and watched news reports of the destruction that Hurricane Katrina caused in 2005.

He knew he couldn’t stay at home. He had to go help.

That sparked years of volunteering for the Red Cross.

Now Farrier, a Eudora resident, has traveled to Tuscaloosa, Ala., to help distribute supplies to people displaced by a traumatizing

tornado April 27.

Farrier isn’t the only one from the area lending a hand.

A group of 13 Kansas University atmospheric sciences students are traveling to Tuscaloosa next week to help with debris removal.

Farrier, 56, is a retired disabled U.S. Army veteran who also volunteered in the aftermath of hurricanes Wilma and Rita. He said it was an excellent use of his free time.

“I recommend anyone who has any time at all. It'll

Dr. Barnes

change your life,” Farrier said. “It really made me want to do it more and more.”

Farrier arrived in Alabama on May 4 and immediately started distributing donated supplies to people displaced from the storm. He is assigned to a new task each day, and most are requests from the community. Piles of rubble still litter the streets, and many people no longer have houses to go home to.

“The people can’t thank you enough. People break

Dr. Glynn

down and cry because they don’t have anything,” Farrier said.

Adam Smith, who’s helping organize the students’ trip to Tuscaloosa, said the students felt an instant need to help those affected by the storms they so often study in school and chase. He said the group, named Rock Chalk and Roll Tide, felt the storm held a different meaning because they knew of all its weather traits.

“You can’t watch these

Dr. Hirschi

Dr. Lane

things and chase storms and not feel something for these people who lost everything,” Smith said.

Originally the group planned to do only a fundraiser, but later decided to drive to Alabama to help.

On the list of required equipment: chainsaws. The group, which will not include Smith, will help clear streets and work on debris removal.

The students will stay

Prosecutors to wrap up case in genocide trial WICHITA (AP)— Prosecutors are expected to rest their case Monday against the Kansas man accused of participating in the 1993 Rwandan genocide and lying to U.S. immigration authorities about it.

The government has sought during two weeks of testimony to portray Lazare Kobagaya as a leader COURTS who incited atrocities during the ethnic violence that spread to a rural Rwandan village known as Birambo, where he and his family lived at the time. The 84-year-old Topeka man contends he is innocent.

An estimated 500,000 to 800,000 people were killed in Rwanda between April and July 1994. Most of the dead belonged to an ethnic group known as the Tutsi, while

most of the killings were carried out by members of an ethnic group known as the Hutu.

Federal prosecutors have said the trial is the first in the United States requiring proof of genocide. Jurors must decide whether Kobagaya, a Hutu born in Burundi, lied in order to come to the United States and lied in order to become a U.S. citizen.

An immigration official is expected to take the stand Monday as the government’s last witness. The defense could begin laying out their case later in the day.

Kobagaya was charged two years ago in a two-count indictment with unlawfully obtaining U.S. citizenship in 2006 and with fraud and misuse of an alien registration card. The indictment also seeks to revoke his citizenship, a move that would subject him to deportation.

One of the legal skirmish-

es this past week was over documents obtained from a 2009 search warrant of his home that the government plans to introduce to bolster their case that the incorrect dates on his U.S. visa application indicating he did not live in Rwanda during the genocide were not a mistake.

“The fact he repeats this in other documents to other foreign agencies seeking asylum and or benefits clearly shows it was not a mistake nor was it an accident,” prosecutors said Thursday in a court filing. “Instead, this shows he lied to obtain his visa to enter the United States.”

Another contested exhibit this week relates to a document prosecutors contend shows one of Kobagaya’s motives for lying to what was then called the Immigration and Naturalization Service was to obtain government benefits.

The Bellevue district, with 20 schools and just more than 10,000 students, is the fourthlargest school district in Nebraska. Bellevue is an Omaha suburb where Harwood’s wife, Jamie, graduated from Bellevue East High School.

Harwood said he was still working out details for a contract. No start date for the new job has been set.

It was a busy day at both locations, a sign that Lawrence residents appreciate opportunities to protect the environment, Richardson said.

“We love the participation,” she said. “Every single vehicle that comes through here thanks us.”

with host families whose homes were not damaged, but they must raise $2,000 to cover travel expenses. They’d like to raise even more to give a donation, though.

Smith said it’s important for college students to understand the damage the storm did. Tuscaloosa is home to the University of Alabama, a school similar in size to KU. “Imagine if it went through Lawrence. What would we be experiencing right now?” he said. “Imagine what that would do to our student body.”

Farrier said it was important to help each other, and he recalled a tornado that cut a wide swath through Topeka on June 8, 1966. Damage estimates from that monster tornado hit $100 million, making it at that time the costliest tornado in U.S. history.

“It could happen to you tomorrow. You never know.

Your house could be wiped out tomorrow,” he said.

But none of the help he’s giving would be possible without donations.

“Keep things coming in for the people who need them,” he said.

history. It’s important in one sense because once a person is convicted of a third DUI, it is a felony.

Sen. Tim Owens, an Overland Park Republican and chairman of the state’s DUI Commission that has worked extensively on the bill, said the provision strikes a balance with punishing repeat offenders and an earlier period when a person’s DUI history went back only f ive years.

Owens said cases in the 1990s were tried and resolved differently because lawyers advised clients based on the fact their DUI history took into account only five years instead of a lifetime. Owens acknowledged having a 2001 cutoff date would affect some people who could avoid a felony conviction.

Proponents have mostly touted provisions of the DUI bill that require all people convicted of their first DUI to drive with an ignition interlock device for six months. This provision would sunset in four years without further legislative action to give state leaders a chance to assess how it is working.

The bill also includes a $250 increase in f ines, increased funds for treatment of DUI offenders and a statewide central repository to track DUI offenses. Some representatives raised con-

cerns that the bill removes a requirement that drivers permanently lose their licenses for five or more DUI convictions. But supporters say people drive drunk with or without a license.

Branson said he worried that someone with two convictions before 2001 who is convicted of another DUI could avoid the more extensive treatment as well.

“It’s cutting it down to nine days,” said Pryor, who would prefer to have more time for free-wheeling in his 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse. “We’re

just going to drive around.

We’re kind of idiots.”

Facing more than two weeks between the end of classes and graduation is a function of both the calendar and circumstances, said Ted Berard, associate principal at Free State. He f igures prospective graduates could use the time to relax or to get a head start on summer jobs.

“It periodically happens like this because of KU (Commencement), because our backup in case of rain is Allen Fieldhouse,” Berard said.

“We’re usually working around KU’s graduation.

“This year, calendar-wise, this is how it worked out.”

Pryor doesn’t trouble himself looking for an explana-

tion, or some rationalization, or really anything ending in “ation.” He just knows he needs to be back in time to start his summer gig as a commissary manager for Sporting Kansas City, and the lead-up time will be squeezed by the school schedule.

Then again, that’s just the way it is: Welcome to the real world.

“It’s going to be weird just sitting around waiting for graduation,” said Pryor, who considers himself to be a “very vague” person. “(But) the whole school system’s kind of strange.”

Teen cancer survivor beats the odds with graduation WICHITA (AP) — There was a time Nick Jones and his family didn’t know whether he’d live to see 10th grade.

Now the Wichita Southeast High School senior, having continued his studies through cancer treatments, surgeries and a life-saving bone marrow transplant, will soon graduate with his peers.

On time.

With honors.

This fall he will attend Newman University with a Board of Trustees scholarship and plans to major in biochemistry.

“This kid’s amazing,” said Angie Brown, an assistant principal at Southeast. “The whole time he was sick — and he was very, very sick — he was worried about his education and how he was going to keep up.”

Jones was diagnosed with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia in September 2007, the day after he turned 15 and just a couple of weeks into his freshman year at Southeast.

Doctors admitted him to the hospital immediately for chemotherapy treatments.

Those first months in the hospital were scary and grueling, said Jones’ mother, Terry Hermreck. Jones developed a staph infection, sepsis and other complications, she said.

When he transferred to Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo., in 2008, he weighed 74 pounds and couldn’t walk. He had brain and lung surgery and was put on the waiting list for a bone marrow transplant.

During the wait, he enrolled in Wichita’s eSchool and resumed his studies.

From 10 a.m. to noon each day he worked on a laptop in the hospital, completing assignments to “at least try to knock out some credits,” Hermreck said.

“It was important to me,” Jones said. “It’s not that I just loved school, but I never imagined not being in school. ... I wanted to graduate and I wanted to go to college, and that never changed.”

On May 2, 2008, Jones received a bone marrow transplant from a donor in Washington, D.C. His mom calls the date “his rebirthday.”

The transplant killed Jones’ cancer and also helped an underlying medical condition, Fanconi anemia, a rare genetic disease. But his immune system was still too

“

It’s an important story to tell. So many youngsters who have those kinds of challenges just give up, and he never gave up. His drive and determination are incredible.”

— Angie Brown, an assistant principal at Wichita Southeast High School weak to handle a return to crowded school hallways and classrooms.

For another full school year, he completed credits at home through eSchool. When he finally returned to Southeast as a junior, some classmates recognized him as the school’s poster boy for Pennies for Patients, an annual fundraiser for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

If asked, Jones said, he’d tell people that yes, he was the one who had cancer. But he tried to downplay it.

“I don’t mind talking about it, but I didn’t want the whole school to know because I didn’t want them to think anyone was going easy on me,” he said. “I wanted to earn every grade I got.”

The grades were A’s and B’s, even in honors and advanced placement classes.

When he crosses the stage for his diploma May 24, Jones will finish in the top 10 percent of his senior class.

“He’s a tough guy, and I’m very proud of him,” his mother said.

Brown, the assistant principal, is proud of him, too, and shares Jones’ story at every opportunity. Most recently it was during an all-school awards assembly, which Jones grudgingly attended despite earlier plans to meet friends in the library and study for an AP government test.

After the assembly, a sophomore who has been struggling in school approached Brown and said Jones’ story had touched her.

“She said, ‘Ms. Brown, I’m going to do better. Because there’s nothing wrong with me,”’ Brown said. “She said, ‘I can’t believe he’s going to graduate with all he’s been through. There’s no reason I can’t do it.’

“It’s an important story to tell,” Brown said. “So many youngsters who have those kinds of challenges just give up, and he never gave up. His drive and determination are incredible.”

Jones wants to study biochemistry because he’s considering a career researching and developing new medications.

“He’s been on the receiving end of so many medications and dealt with terrible side effects and complications,” his mom said. “I think he wants to be on the other side of the microscope for a while.”

WHEEL GENIUS

Lawrence ● The roadway will be narrowed down to one lane for traffic heading westbound over the 23rd Street bridge. Crews are patching a hole in the pavement that has formed on the deck of the bridge. The road will be down to one lane until Tuesday so the concrete can cure. ● Starting Wednesday, crews will begin working on a project to add a center turn lane on Sixth Street between Folks Road and Monterey Way. During the first phase of the project, the inside lanes of both the eastbound and westbound direction will be closed in front of HyVee as crews remove the raised median. The first phase should last two weeks. ● Traffic will be reduced to one lane along the 700 block of Kentucky Street as crews work to replace curbing on the west side of the street. ● On Clinton Parkway west of Kasold Drive, the right-hand turn lane and one eastbound lane will be closed for about two weeks so crews can remove concrete and pour new concrete. Southbound turns onto Kasold are allowed, but the city encourages drivers to use extra caution at the intersection.

Also as part of the project, Kasold Drive between Clinton Parkway and 31st Street has both directions of traffic traveling along the southbound lanes of Kasold. Each direction is narrowed to one lane as crews rebuild the roadway. Access from side streets is right turn only. The project is expected to last for several months. ● A portion of the Kansas River levee trail will be closed for the construction of the Bowersock Mills & Power Co.’s new plant on the north bank of the Kansas River. A detour on the trail will take users from the trail to city streets crossing at the controlled intersection of Second and Locust streets.

Signs will be clearly posted marking the detour route to direct users throughout the detour. The city urges drivers and trail users to use caution when traveling through the intersection. The detour will run for the duration of the project, which is projected to last 20 months. ● The city is in the first phase of its overlay projects.

Temporary single lane clo-

sures should be expected in these areas, but traffic will most likely be able to flow through the area. For a map of the overlay projects go to www.lawrenceks.org/public _works/streetmaintenance and click on “2011 Street Maintenance Plan.” ● City maintenance crews are working on a microsurfacing program. Roads throughout the city will be repaved and resurfaced. Lane reductions and possible street closures may occur during the process.

Ex-Westar executive to get $21M

By Bill Draper Associated Press Writer

KANSAS CITY, MO. — One of two top Westar executives accused eight years ago of trying to loot the Kansas utility has reached a settlement with the company that will give him $21 million in unpaid compensation and $5.3 million for attorney fees.

The settlement between Douglas Lake, former top strategy officer for the state’s biggest electrical utility, was announced Friday after Kansas regulators issued a statement saying Westar customers won’t pick up the tab for the deal, which was reached in arbitration.

Lake and former Westar CEO David Wittig were forced out of their jobs in 2002 and indicted by a federal grand jury the next year. They were charged with conspiring to inflate their compensation at the Topeka-based company and taking steps to hide their actions. They also were charged with wire fraud and money laundering.

A first trial in 2004 ended in a hung jury. The two were convicted in a second trial in 2005, but the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals threw out the convictions, saying prosecutors didn’t prove enough evidence of wire fraud and money laundering.

Lake and Wittig were awaiting a third trial on the conspiracy and circumvention of internal controls charges last August when prosecutors dropped the case.

Arbitration related to the men’s employment contracts and their termination began

after they were fired from the company, but was put on hold while the federal case worked its way through the legal system. Westar spokeswoman Gina Penzig said it resumed last fall after the case was dismissed.

Penzig confirmed Lake’s $26.3 million settlement to The Associated Press but said much of what was discussed in arbitration remains confidential. On Friday, Westar filed documents with the Securities Exchange Commission stating that as of March 31, the company had compiled $81.4 million for compensation not yet paid to Lake and Wittig, and $8.3 million for legal fees and expenses.

As a result of arbitration, the filing said, those funds were reduced to roughly $21 million and $5.3 million, respectively.

A r b i t rat i o n i nvo lv i n g Wittig, who according to prosecutors was paid more than $25 million in compensation and benefits during his tenure with the company, has not been completed.

The settlement came to the media’s attention Friday when the Kansas Corporation Commission chief sent out a news release promising that Westar customers wouldn’t pay any of the co m p e n sat i o n o r l e ga l expenses awarded in the deal.

Obama administration to speed oil production

By Darlene Superville and Dina Cappiello Associated Press Writers

WASHINGTON — Amid growing public unhappiness over gas prices, President Barack Obama is directing his administration to ramp up U.S. oil production by extending existing leases in the Gulf of Mexico and off Alaska’s coast and holding more frequent lease sales in a federal petroleum reserve in Alaska. But the moves Obama won’t calm spiraling prices at the pump any time soon.

Obama said Saturday that the measures “make good sense” and will help reduce U.S. consumption of imported oil in the long term. But he acknowledged anew that they won’t help to immediately bring down gasoline prices topping $4 a gallon in many parts of the country, and an oil industry analyst agreed.

“There is practically nothing that Washington can do that would materially change the price of fuel in this country,” said Raymond James analyst Pavel Molchanov, noting that the United States produces about 5 percent of the world’s petroleum while

consuming about 20 percent.

“Given that imbalance, there is simply no policy shift that could plausibly come from the federal government that can significantly change that dynamic.”

An oil industry group praised Obama’s move as a first step with a “couple of positive nuggets” but contended that more was needed to boost oil production. Erik Milito, upstream director for the American Petroleum Institute, called in a statement for more access to key shale reserves and construction of a pipeline that would import crude from Canadian oil sands.

Sen. Robert Menendez, DN.J., who is opposed to drilling off the Atlantic coast, expressed concern about possible dangers to the environment. “I think it is disappointing he would pursue a strategy that comes with considerable risk while offering no hope of driving down gas prices,” Menendez said in a statement.

Obama’s announcement followed passage in the Republican-controlled House of three bills — including two this week — that would expand and speed offshore oil and gas drilling.

Republicans say the bills are aimed at easing gasoline costs, but they too acknowledge that benef its won’t come fast.

The White House had announced its opposition to

“

There is practically nothing that Washington can do that would materially change the price of fuel in this country.”

— Raymond James analyst Pavel Molchanov all three bills, which are unlikely to pass the Democratic-controlled Senate, saying the measures would undercut safety reviews and open environmentally sensitive areas to new drilling.

But Obama is adopting some of the bills’ provisions.

Answering the call of Republicans and Democrats from Gulf Coast states, Obama said in his weekly radio and Internet address that he would extend all Gulf leases that were affected by a temporary moratorium on drilling imposed after last year’s BP oil spill. That would give companies additional time to begin drilling.

The administration had been granting extensions case by case, but senior administration officials said the Interior Department would institute a blanket oneyear extension.

New safety requirements put in place since the BP spill also have delayed drilling in Alaska, so Obama said he would extend lease terms there for a year as well. An oil

lease typically runs 10 years.

Lease sales in the western and central Gulf of Mexico that were postponed last year will be held by the middle of next year, the same time period required by the House. A sale off the Virginia coast still would not happen until 2017 at the earliest. But Obama said he would speed up environmental reviews so that seismic studies to determine how much oil and gas lies off the Atlantic Coast can begin.

To further expedite drilling off the Alaskan coast, where such plans by Shell Oil Co. have been delayed by an air pollution permit, Obama said he would create an interagency task force to coordinate the necessary approvals. He also will hold annual lease sales in the vast National Petroleum Reserve on Alaska’s North Slope. Officials said the most recent sale was last year, but that they had not been held on any set schedule.

W A S H I N G T O N — It took 37 days and a group of determined animal lovers, but a donkey from Iraq is now a U.S. resident.

Smoke The Donkey, who became a friend and mascot to a group of U.S. Marines living in Iraq’s Anbar Province nearly three years ago, arrived in New York this week aboard a cargo jet from Turkey. After being quarantined for two days he was released Saturday and began a road trip to Omaha, Neb., where he is destined to become a therapy animal.

The chest-high donkey’s story begins in the summer of 2008, when he wandered in to Camp Taqaddum west of Fallujah, a former Iraqi air base being used by Marines.

The smoke-colored donkey, which once snatched and ate a cigarette from a careless Marine, soon became such a part of the unit that he received his own care packages and cards. Marines took care of him until 2009 when they left the area, but they turned Smoke over to a sheik who promised to care for him.

But one of the Marines, retired Col. John Folsom, couldn’t forget Smoke.

Folsom used to walk Smoke daily and had formed a bond with the animal. It didn’t seem right that Smoke was left behind, he said in a telephone interview Saturday.

Folsom, the founder of a support group for military families, Wounded Warriors Family Support, decided to see if Smoke could be brought to the United States to serve as a therapy animal.

Getting Smoke back proved more difficult than Folsom realized. At first, the sheik demanded $30,000 for the famous donkey, a demand that was later dropped. Then, there was the bureaucracy of getting Smoke nearly 7,000 miles around the world: blood tests, health certifications and forms from customs, agriculture and airline officials.

To cut through the red tape, Folsom got help from the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals International, which has a project that transports dogs and cats from Iraq to the United States.

The group, however, had never attempted airlifting a donkey, which is more complicated because equines can’t be transported on traditional commercial aircraft and must go by cargo plane.

The donkey’s journey has provided laughter — and head scratching — along the way.

SMOKE THE DONKEY TAKES PART IN A FREEDOM WALK EVENT at Camp Taqaddum, Iraq, in this Sept. 11, 2008, photo provided by the Department of Defense and Retired Marine Col. John Folsom. It took 37 days and a group of determined animal lovers, but the donkey from Iraq is now a U.S. resident.

Smoke The Donkey, who became the friend and mascot of a group of U.S. Marines living in Iraq’s Anbar Province nearly three years ago, arrived in New York this week aboard a cargo jet from Turkey. After being quarantined for two days he was released Saturday and began road trip to Omaha, Neb., where he is destined to become a therapy animal.

“People just couldn’t believe we were going to these great lengths to help a donkey because donkeys in that part of the world are so low down on the totem pole,” said the society’s Terri Crisp, who negotiated the donkey’s passage from Iraq to the United States. “Donkeys are not viewed as a companion animal. They’re viewed as a work animal.”

As frustrating as the journey sometimes was for those involved, including a weeklong delay getting Smoke in to Turkey and another three weeks to get out, the donkey found friends and supporters along the way, Crisp said. They included the U.S. ambassador in Turkey, who at one point was getting daily updates.

“I think people did finally come to realize that this is one of these out-of the-ordinary situations. Once you met him and saw what a unique donkey he was, it was hard to say no to him,” Crisp said, describing Smoke as “gentle” and “mischievous” as well as a food-lover — carrots and apples in particular.

The journey, which started

April 5, wasn’t cheap.

The society estimates it cost between $30,000 to $40,000 from start to finish, with expenses such as $150 to ship Smoke’s blood from Turkey to a U.S. Department of Agriculture lab in Iowa, $18,890 for a Lufthansa flight through Frankfurt, Germany and $400 a day for quarantine in New York. Folsom says he recognizes some people may be critical of the expense, which was paid for through donations, but he says he considers it payback for the donkey that was such a friend to Marines.

“Why do we spend billions of dollars of pet food in this country? Why do we do that?”

Folsom said. “We love our animals. That’s why.”

Folsom saw the donkey for the first time in years Saturday when he arrived in New York to transport him to his new home in Omaha. The journey to Omaha is expected to take two days, and Folsom said Smoke is already getting used to seeing big, green trees instead of desert.

“He’s an American donkey now,” Folsom said.

Bin Laden powerful but aged in Pakistan

By Calvin Woodward Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON — Surrounded by the din of his multiple families within walls that were both his sanctuary and prison, Osama bin Laden pecked endlessly at a computer, issuing directives to his scattered and troubled terrorist empire. It’s not clear who really listened.

Go big, he told al-Qaida operatives and affiliates.

They mostly went small.

The latest intelligence from the wealth of material found at bin Laden’s last hideout paints a complicated picture of the fugitive, both deeply engaged in his life’s violent mission and somewhat out to pasture.

Inside the Abbottabad, Pakistan, compound, he kept busy scheming plots, rehearsed and recorded propaganda and dispatched couriers to distant Internet cafes to conduct his email traffic, using computer flash drives to relay messages he would write and store from his shabby office. He dyed his gray beard black to keep up appearances for the videos.

To U.S. officials, who possess bin Laden’s handwritten personal journal as well as an enormous cache of his digital documents, the still-unfolding discoveries show he was more involved in trying to plan al-Qaida’s post-9/11 operations than they had thought possible for a man in perpetual hiding.

Even so, he was disconnected from his organization in real time, lacking phones or the Internet at his hideout and with loyalists hunted at every turn. Essential elements of a command and control function from Abbottabad appear to be missing.

Among the items found was an unreleased audiotape, recorded about a week before the raid, in which bin Laden praises those who rebelled in the “Arab spring,” referring to revolts in the Mideast and North Africa, a U.S. official says. But bin Laden only mentions Egypt and Tunisia, though he would have been aware through news broadcasts on his cable TV feed of the uprisings in Libya, Syria, and the Gulf state Bahrain, the official noted, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss matters of intelligence.

Another discovered video shows bin Laden channel surfing with a tiny TV while wrapped in a wool blanket, wearing a knit cap and looking anything but content.

Toward its own propaganda ends, the U.S. released selective excerpts of these odd home movies, choosing clips that only show the Prince of jihad in an unflattering, even pathetic, light.

The U.S. raiders who killed him, a grown son and others May 2 encountered 23 children and nine women on the grounds of the three-story complex behind walls stained with mold, including three of his wives, officials said afterward. The U.S. has questioned those widows, the Pentagon said Friday without revealing if anything was learned.

Palestinians, Israeli troops clash after teen shot to death

By Karin Laub Associated Press Writer

JERUSALEM — Masked Palestinians whirling slingshots clashed with Israeli riot police in two Arab neighborhoods of Jerusalem on Saturday after the shooting death of a teenage stone thrower. It was a sign of rising tensions on the eve of Palestinian commemorations of their uprooting during Israel’s 1948 creation.

The possibility of escalation comes at a critical time for U.S. Mideast policy. President Barack Obama’s envoy to the region, George Mitchell, resigned Friday, and the U.S. president may now have to retool the administration’s incremental approach to peacemaking. Obama is to deliver a Mideast policy speech in the coming week.

Mitchell held the job for more than two years, but had little to show for it. IsraeliPalestinian talks resumed in September, but were quickly derailed by Israel’s refusal to comply with an internationally mandated construction freeze in Jewish settlements in the West Bank and east Jerusalem, war-won territories Palestinians want for their state.

Israelis and Palestinians on Saturday praised Mitchell and blamed each other for the failure of his mission.

Palestinian officials argued that Mitchell was destined to fail because of what they said is a faulty U.S. premise — that Israelis and Palestinians are equals who can be nudged by a persistent mediator. As the occupier, Israel holds all the cards and only U.S. pressure on Israel will yield results, said Nabil Shaath, a veteran negotiator.

“Mitchell was good and skillful, but what could his personal skill have done as long as he didn’t get the required support from the administration, to exert the required pressure?” Shaath said Saturday.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke to Mitchell by phone Saturday.

Netanyahu expressed sorrow over Mitchell’s decision to step down and “over the fact that the Palestinians refused to come to the talks that Mitchell worked to promote,” according to a statement by Netanyahu’s office.

“They insisted on endless preconditions that hindered his work and, at the end of the process, joined Hamas.”

Despite the deadlock, dramatic changes in the region in recent months, including democratic uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt and a Palestinian unity deal between rivals Hamas and Fatah, have been shaping the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

The Egyptian-brokered reconciliation deal restored President Mahmoud Abbas’ position as the leader of all Palestinians, including those in Hamas-ruled Gaza, and strengthened his bid to sidestep a negotiated agreement with Israel and instead seek U.N. recognition of Palestinian statehood in September.

Abbas told the Rome daily La Repubblica in an interview published Saturday that if Israel doesn’t want to negotiate

A PALESTINIAN YOUTH HURLS STONES toward Israeli soldiers, not seen, Saturday during a protest to mark the upcoming 63rd anniversary of “Nakba,” Arabic for “Catastrophe,” the term used to mark the events leading to Israel’s founding in 1948, in the Qalandia checkpoint between Ramallah and Jerusalem. with a new Palestinian unity government that includes Hamas, “we’ll go to the U.N. in September and ask if our people, which is again united, finally has the right to be a state.”

With much at stake, it appears unlikely that Abbas’ security forces will allow today’s commemorations to get out of hand.

The day marks the anniversary of what the Palestinians call the “nakba,” Arabic for “catastrophe,” referring to their displacement during the Mideast war over Israel’s May 15, 1948, creation. At the time, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians fled or were driven out by Israeli troops, losing land and homes. The dispute over the fate of Palestinian refugees and their descendants, now numbering several million people, remains at the core of the Arab-Israeli conflict.

Several Facebook groups have called for launching a third uprising against Israel, starting today, and urged supporters to march from Palestinian towns to Israel military checkpoints in the West Bank and around Jerusalem.

But a new round of violence could undermine Abbas’ diplomatic agenda, including his attempt to win U.N. recognition. Abbas’ Fatah group is calling only for marches within the confines of Palestinian cities.

On Saturday, the main flashpoint was east Jerusalem, annexed by Israel after the 1967 Mideast war and claimed by the Palestinians as their capital.

A 17-year-old Palestinian, Milad Ayyash, was shot and critically wounded Friday during a clash near a Jewish settler enclave in east Jerusalem’s Arab neighborhood of Silwan, according to a local activist, Fahri Abu Diab.

Abu Diab, citing witnesses, alleged that shots were fired from the rooftop of the Beit Yonathan settlement enclave toward the stone throwers.

An official at Jerusalem’s Mukassed Hospital said Ayyash arrived with a bullet wound in the abdomen and bled profusely.

Ayyash died of his injuries early Saturday, said Jerusalem police spokesman Shmuel Ben Ruby. He said the circumstances of his death are under investigation, but it remains unclear who fired the shot.

Pakistan warns U.S. of supply line cut ISLAMABAD (AP) — Still angry over the U.S. raid that killed Osama bin Laden, Pakistani lawmakers demanded an end to American missile strikes against Islamist militants on their soil Saturday and warned that Pakistan may cut NATO’s supply line to Afghanistan if the attacks don’t stop.

The nonbinding parliamentary resolution reflects the precarious state of the U.S.Pakistani alliance, which is vital to the war effort in neighboring Afghanistan. The bin Laden raid has brought to the fore a longstanding dilemma that U.S. strikes that Washington says kill militants often are seen by Pakistanis as a violation of sovereignty with mostly civilian victims, exacerbating an already-high antiAmerican sentiment.

During a visit to Afghanistan, U.S. Sen. John Kerry, chairman of the power-

X Sunday, May 15, 2011

ful Senate Foreign Relations Committee, called on Pakistan to be a better partner in the fight against terrorists.

“We obviously want a Pakistan that is prepared to respect the interests of Afghanistan, and to be a real ally in our efforts to combat terrorism,” said Kerry, a Democrat from Massachusetts.

“We believe that there are things that can be done better.”

The Pakistani measure was passed after a rare, private briefing in Parliament by Pakistan’s military leaders, who were humiliated by the May 2 U.S. Navy SEAL raid that killed bin Laden in his compound in Abbottabad, a northwest garrison city. Pakistanis were angry the military allowed it to happen while the U.S. said the proximity to a military academy and the capital, Islamabad, raised suspicion that some security elements had been

harboring bin Laden.

Washington also has been unable to get Islamabad to go after militant groups, such as the Haqqani network, who use its soil as hideouts but stage attacks only inside Afghanistan. Analysts say Pakistan may be maintaining ties to some insurgents because it wants leverage in Afghanistan — and a wedge against archrival India — once the U.S. pulls out.

Pakistani officials deny links to militant groups, saying they are too stretched battling insurgents attacking the Pakistani state to go after those fighting in Afghanistan right now.

Underscoring the threat, a roadside bomb hit a passenger bus Saturday near Kharian, a garrison town in eastern Pakistan, killing at least six passengers and wounding 20, senior police official Mian Sultan said.

PEOPLE WATCH AS WATER diverted from the Mississippi River spills through a bay in Morganza, La., Saturday.

A steel, 10ton floodgate was raised Saturday for the first time in nearly four decades to redirect the Mississippi River away from populated areas downstream.

Floodgate opens to divert Mississippi River, alleviating downstream areas

By Mary Foster and Melinda Deslatte Associated Press Writers

M O R G A N Z A , L A . — Water from the inflated Mississippi River gushed through a floodgate Saturday for the f irst time in nearly four decades and headed toward thousands of homes and farmland in the Cajun countryside, threatening to slowly submerge the land under water up to 25 feet deep.

As the gate was raised, the river poured out like a waterfall, at times spraying 6 feet into the air. Fish jumped or were hurled through the white froth and within 30 minutes, 100 acres of what was dry land was under about a foot of water.

The opening of the Morganza spillway diverted water from Baton Rouge and New Orleans, and the numerous oil refineries and chemical plants along the lower reaches of the Mississippi. Shifting the water away from the cities eased the strain on levees and thwarted flooding in New Orleans that could have been much worse than Hurricane Katrina.

“We’re using every flood control tool we have in the system,” Army Corps of Engineers Maj. Gen. Michael

Walsh said during a news conference on the dry side of the spillway, before the bay was opened.

The Morganza spillway is part of a system of locks and levees built following the great flood of 1927, which killed hundreds and left many more without homes. When the Morganza opened Saturday, it was the first time three flood-control systems have been unlocked at the same time along the Mississippi River, a sign of just how historic the current flooding has been.

Earlier this month, the corps intentionally blew holes into a levee in Missouri to employ a similar citiesf irst strategy, and it also opened a spillway northwest of New Orleans.

Snowmelt and heavy rain swelled the Mississippi, and the river has peaked at levels not seen in 70 years.

In Krotz Springs, La., one of the towns in the Atchafalaya River basin bracing for floodwaters, phones at the local police department rang nonstop as residents sought information on road closings and evacuation routes.

Like so many other residents downstream of the Morganza, Monita Reed, 56,

recalled the last time it was opened in 1973.

“We could sit in our yard and hear the water,” she said as workers constructed a makeshift levee of sandbags and soil-filled mesh boxes in hopes of protecting the 240 homes in her subdivision.

About 25,000 people and 11,000 structures could be affected by the oncoming water, and some people living in the threatened stretch of countryside — an area known for fish camps and a drawling French dialect — have already fled. Reed’s family packed her furniture, clothing and pictures in a rental truck and a relative’s trailer.

“I’m just going to move and store my stuff. I’m going to stay here until they tell us to leave,” she said. “Hopefully, we won’t see much water and then I can move back in. “ It took about 15 minutes for the one 28-foot gate to be raised in the middle of the spillway. Several hours will pass before any of the water hits sparsely populated communities, but residents nearby have been told to go.

The corps planned to open one or two more gates today in a painstaking process that gives residents and animals a chance to stay dry.

Worker at Japan’s nuclear plant dies TOKYO (AP) — A man died on his second day of work at Japan’s tsunami-wrecked nuclear power plant Saturday, and the plant operator said harmful levels of radiation were not detected in his body.

The contract worker in his 60s was the first person to die at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant in northeastern Japan since March 11, when an earthquake and tsunami damaged the facility and caused fires, explosions and radiation leaks in the world’s second-worst nuclear accident.

The worker was carrying equipment when he collapsed and died later in a hospital, said Naoyuki Matsumoto, spokesman for Tokyo Electric Power Co. The company does not know the cause of his death, Matsumoto said.

The man had been wearing a radiation protection suit, mask and gloves while working at the plant’s waste disposal building, which stores radioactive-contaminated water that has leaked from the tsunami-crippled reactors.

Kyodo News agency reported the man had no apparent injuries and a second worker nearby had no ill health effects.

Two Fukushima workers had died from the tsunami itself, when waves swept into the plant and heavily damaged buildings and equipment. TEPCO said those workers, both in their early 20s, were found in the basement of a turbine building.

The quake and tsunami are believed to have killed more than 24,500 people. Police

said Friday that 15,019 were dead and 9,506 were still listed as missing.

Radiation leaks at the Fukushima plant have forced 80,000 people living within a 12-mile radius of the nuclear facility to leave their homes for an indefinite time.

The nuclear crisis prompted the government to evaluate all of Japan’s 54 reactors for quake and tsunami vulnerability, and Prime Minister Naoto Kan asked that one plant in central Japan halt operations while its defenses were improved.

Chubu Electric said its Hamaoka nuclear plant in Shizuoka was completely shut down Saturday on the premier’s request. The company will build a large seawall and other safety structures — work expected to take a few years.

9 men reportedly slain in NATO strike

Mob attacks Christian protest in Egypt

TRIPOLI, LIBYA — Mourners vowed revenge and rattled off heavy gunfire in a Tripoli cemetery on Saturday as they buried nine men they said were Muslim clerics and medics killed in a NATO airstrike in mostly rebel-held eastern Libya.

The Libyan government gave one account of why the men had traveled from the capital to the eastern front; a cleric at the funeral who said he witnessed the attack in the oil town of Brega gave a different version. And the government, apparently hoping to turn the funeral into an outpouring of support for Moammar Gadhafi, announced the time and place on state TV and over text messages. Only a few hundred men showed up, however, and few appeared to be family or friends of the dead. At least a dozen were soldiers.

Highlighting what appears to be a jittery mood among regime officials, a government text message sent early today asked Libyans not to believe “the lying (news) channels, rumors or calls for conflict and destruction.”

CAIRO — An angry mob attacked a group of mainly Christian protesters demanding drastic measures to heal religious tension amid a spike in violence, leaving 65 people injured, officials said today.

Scores of Syrians flee violence to Lebanon BEIRUT — Hundreds of Syrians fled to neighboring Lebanon on Saturday to escape a violent crackdown against an anti-government uprising that has claimed the lives of more than 800 civilians, Lebanese security officials and a leading human rights group said.

President Bashar Assad, meanwhile, reportedly has set up a committee to lead a dialogue with the opposition, the latest offer by the regime as it struggles to end the unrest threatening his family’s 40year-old dynasty.

Protesters have been taking to the streets in a number of Syrian cities for the past two months to try to force Assad to introduce reforms or resign from office, as leaders in Tunisia and Egypt already have.

The Christian protesters have been holding their sit-in outside the state television building in Cairo for nearly a week following deadly Christian-Muslim clashes that left a church burned and 15 people dead.

More than 100 people rushed into the sit-in area, lobbing rocks and fire bombs and charging toward the protesters in the area.

LAWRENCE JOURNAL-WORLD ● LJWorld.com ● Sunday, May 15, 2011

EDITORIALS

Event guidance City and downtown officials need to reach some sort of consensus on when and where to accommodate special downtown events.

A

cool beverage, good music and a fun-loving crowd can be a great trio. But what can make it better? Evidently, having all three in the middle of a downtown street.

Requests to close downtown streets for events — everything from charity fundraisers to college street carnivals — have become more common at Lawrence City Hall. For a time, their approval also had become fairly routine.

But with a new City Commission in place, more questions have been raised about the soundness of closing downtown streets for events. In particular, Commissioners Mike Amyx and Bob Schumm, both of whom own downtown businesses, have been voicing concerns about closing portions of Massachusetts Street.

They raise legitimate issues. Amyx and Schumm say that some retailers don’t benefit that much from events but do suffer by having vehicle access to their stores severely limited by a street closure. But the remaining three commissioners also bring up good points.

Downtown businesses benefit every day from the vibrancy of downtown, and some commissioners rightly argue that events help create that sense of vibrancy.

What’s called for here is a meeting of the minds. Approving an event for downtown should not become a Tuesday evening event at City Hall. As new City Commissioner Hugh Carter said, these should be easy decisions for commissioners to make.

But they won’t be easy decisions to make unless all the stakeholders of downtown come together and reach agreement on what type of events provide an overall benefit to the downtown. There would be many options for the group to consider. Perhaps it is best for downtown street events to be held on a side street.

Eighth Street has hosted many successful events, but it would be important to get feedback from the businesses along that street. Maybe Massachusetts Street events should be limited to Sundays only, or perhaps that street is so important that only one or two “signature” events a year should be allowed on the main thoroughfare.

One idea that does not seem like a good one is to hold more events in Watson Park. Many of these events have music and alcohol. It seems that placing such events in Watson Park on a routine basis would be asking for a whole new set of problems, especially considering the park is adjacent to the Old West Lawrence neighborhood and sandwiched between two major north-south streets.

Input should be gathered from retailers, restaurants, downtown offices and the growing number of residents who call downtown home. There will never be unanimity, but surely downtown interests can work together well enough to reach a consensus on how events can benefit downtown.

Such consensus would give city commissioners more confidence in approving future events. It also would be a great first step in downtown perhaps reaching consensus on other important issues such as retail hours.

Union takes unfair aim at Boeing NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. — This summer, the huge Boeing assembly plant here will begin producing 787 Dreamliners — up to three a month, priced at $185 million apiece. It will, unless the National Labor Relations Board, controlled by Democrats and encouraged by Barack Obama’s reverberating silence, gets its way.

Last month — 17 months after Boeing announced plans to build here, and with the $2 billion plant nearing completion — the NLRB, collaborating with the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, charged that Boeing’s decision violated the rights of its unionized workers in Washington state, where some Dreamliners are assembled and still will be even after the plant here is operational. The NLRB has read a 76-year-old statute (the 1935 Wagner Act) perversely, disregarded almost half a century of NLRB and Supreme Court rulings, and patently misrepresented statements by Boeing officials.

South Carolina is one of 22 right-to-work states, where workers cannot be compelled to join a union. When in September 2009, Boeing’s South Carolina workers — fuselage sections of 787s already are built here — voted to end their representation

by IAM, the union did not accuse Boeing of pre-vote misbehavior.

Now, however, the NLRB seeks to establish the principle that moving businesses to such states from non-right-to-work states constitutes prima facie evidence of “unfair labor practices,” including intimidation and coercion of labor. This principle

the destructive — and self-destructive — Obama administration is trying to debilitate the world’s largest aerospace corporation and the nation’s leading exporter …”

would be a powerful incentive for new companies to locate only in right-to-work states.

The NLRB complaint fictitiously says Boeing has decided to “remove” or “transfer” work from Washington. Actually, Boeing has so far added more than 2,000 workers in Washington, where planned production — seven 787s a month, full capacity for that facility — will not be reduced. Besides, how can locating a new plant here violate the rights of IAM members whose collective bargaining agreement with Boeing gives the company the right to locate new production facilities where it deems best?

The NLRB says Boeing has come here “because” IAM strikes have disrupted production and “to discourage” future strikes.

Since 1995, IAM has stopped Boeing’s production in three of five labor negotiations, including a 58-day walkout in 2008 that cost the company $1.8 billion and a diminished reputation with customers.

The NLRB uses meretricious editing of Boeing off icials’ remarks to falsely suggest that anti-union animus motivated the company to locate some production in a right-to-work state. Anyway, it is settled law that companies can consider past strikes when making business decisions to diminish the risk of future disruptions.

The economy is mired in a sluggish recovery. But the destructive — and self-destructive — Obama administration is trying to debilitate the world’s largest aerospace corporation and the nation’s leading exporter, which has 155,000 U.S. employees and whose 738 million shares are held by individual and institutional investors, mutual funds and retirement accounts. Why? Organized labor, primarily and increasingly confined to government workers, cannot convince private-sector workers that it adds more value to their lives than it subtracts with dues and productivity-damaging work rules. Hence unions’ reliance on government coercion where persuasion has failed.

The NLRB’s complaint is not a conscientious administration of the law, it is intimidation of business leaders who contemplate locating operations in right-towork states. Labor loathes section 14(b) of the 1947 Taft-Hartley Act, which allows states to pass right-to-work laws that forbid

compulsory unionization. But 11 Democratic senators represent 10 of the 22 — so far — right-towork states: Mark Pryor (Arkansas), Bill Nelson (Florida), Tom Harkin (Iowa), Mary Landrieu (Louisiana), Ben Nelson (Nebraska), Harry Reid (Nevada), Kay Hagan (North Carolina), Kent Conrad (North Dakota), Tim Johnson (South Dakota), and Jim Webb and Mark Warner (Virginia). Do they support the Obama administration’s attempt to cripple their states’ economic attractiveness?

The NLRB’s attack on Boeing illustrates the Obama administration’s penchant for lawlessness displayed when, disregarding bankruptcy law, it traduced the rights of Chrysler’s secured creditors. Now the NLRB is suing Arizona and South Dakota because they recently, and by large majorities, passed constitutional amendments guaranteeing the right to secret ballots in unionization elections — ballots that complicate coercion by union organizers.

Just as uncompetitive companies try to become wards of the government (beneficiaries of subsidies, tariffs, import quotas), unions unable to compete for workers’ allegiance solicit government compulsion to fill their ranks. The NLRB’s reckless attempt to break a great corporation, and by extension all businesses, to government’s saddle — never mind the collateral damage to the economy — is emblematic of the Obama administration’s willingness to sacrifice the economy on the altar of politics.

Knowledge of past helps guide future We are on the 2011 Student Freedom Riders bus rolling toward Augusta, Ga., watching “The Murder of Emmett Till,” a PBS documentary on the savage 1955 lynching of a black boy in the nothing town of Money, Miss. On the old newsreel footage, white person after white person spews the grotesque bigotry that was common to white people in that time and place, and somebody asks Ryan Price a question: How do you feel as a white guy, watching a film like this?

“It was a good question,” he tells me that evening at the hotel. He pauses a long time, thinking.

“Watching ‘The Murder of Emmett Till’ as a white person,” he says, “it’s hard not to ...”

Another pause. He gathers himself. “It’s hard not to be embarrassed,” he says finally. “While I was watching that movie, you get to the point where you almost want to change your skin color so you can show how much you care about issues of race, how much you care about the overt hatred and vitriolic discrimination of the past and today. Of course, you can’t change your skin color, but you can be an ally to those who are marginalized in society, and that’s something it really spurs me to do.”

It is a good — and brave — answer. Sadly, such bravery often eludes people two and three times the age of Price, a 20-year-old student from Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa. Their preferred answer, proffered reflexively whenever discussion turns to the African-American sojourn in this country, can be summed up in three words: don’t look back.

nances 50 years ago, and promoting “Freedom Riders,” a new PBS documentary, that preferred answer is being heard yet again.

Indeed, a story on the freedom rides by your humble correspondent, who is traveling across the South with the student riders, drew the following odd, but entirely predictable, rebuke on a Miami Herald message board.

“Cars’ windshields are so large and the rearview mirrors are so small because our past is not as important as our future. So, look ahead and move on.”

One never encounters this wholesale dismissal of the past when one commemorates,

say, the Kennedy inauguration or the Holocaust. That’s because those things makes us feel sorrow, nostalgia, resolve. As Ryan Price would testify, African-American history makes us feel ... other things.

And if we find those things difficult to process, that’s understandable. But to respond to that difficulty by declaring this one strain of history off limits is to commit an act of plain moral cowardice.

That cowardice is unfortunately common.

Ray Arsenault, who wrote “Freedom Riders,” the book upon which the PBS documentary is based, says that instead of doing the difficult work of seeking to understand the forces that made us, Americans too often choose to create “mythic conceptions of what they think happened” in the past. Those myths, he says, are “based on half-truths and a kind of civic indoctrination which makes them feel perhaps more comfortable, but that trains them to be followers and not leaders, not to ask the difficult questions.” Without posing those questions, he says, we will never find the answers.

Which is, I suppose, just fine by some of us because it is those answers we fear. I mean, “windshields”? Really?

The funny thing is, every car I’ve ever driven had one in the back nearly as big as the one in the front — along with three mirrors reflecting the road behind. It suggests that automakers, at least, recognize what some of us do not.

To navigate the road ahead, it helps to have some sense of the road behind.

Brooke Corp. victims praise SEC charges KANSAS CITY, MO. — Insurance agents and banks struggled to stay afloat after one of the nation’s largest franchisers of property and casualty insurance agencies collapsed as the recession hit.

Now they are applauding the news that the Securities and Exchange Commission has charged six executives of Kansas-based Brooke Corp. and two of its subsidiaries with hiding critical information from investors and conducting financial fraud.

The criminal complaint describes complicated financial maneuvers that misled lenders and agents alike.

Some banks — both in the U.S. and internationally — lost millions.

First State Bank of Burlingame president John Fowler describes it as a moral victory. Five defendants have reached settlements with the government.

But one former Brooke franchisee, Geoffrey Gobble, says the fines “weren’t that big compared to what they drug hundreds of people through.”

KU’s Self, UNC’s Williams to take opposite sides at golf event

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

MAYETTA — Of all the tee shots Roy Williams has hit in f ive decades of playing golf, just one has dropped in the cup.

“That was in Lawrence, America,” former Kansas University/current North Carolina basketball coach Williams said of his only hole-in-one.

“The most attention I got in my life was when I made my hole-inone and made a bunch of putts over in Kansas City before the

Seniors (tour) event one year when Tom Watson and I beat George Brett and Dana Quigley,” Williams added.

The 60-year-old Williams — who aced Alvamar’s par-3, 127yard No. 2 hole on Aug. 22, 2001, and sank five long birdie putts at the 2001 TD Waterhouse Skins Game at Tiffany Greens — is hoping to add another positive press clipping to his golf scrapbook today.

He and former Alvamar golf pro Randy Towner will take on KU basketball coach Bill Self and

four-time PGA Tour winner Notah Begay in a nine-hole celebrity skins game at 10 a.m. at Firekeeper Golf Course, across the street from Prairie Band Casino and Resort.

“Yes,” the eighth-year UNC coach said with a laugh, asked if he wants to win today’s competition.

“I mean, if we are going to go and do some things, I think it’s pretty doggone important to try to do your best, and I love to compete on the course. It’s the only place I get to actually compete

myself. The rest of the time I’m just watching those guys in short pants running around, and they do the competing,” Williams added.

He’ll be competing against the man who replaced him at KU — Bill Self.

Self, another avid golfer who, by the way, has yet to record his first hole-in-one, is a 12 handicapper; Williams is a 10.

“Bill hits the ball a long, long way,” Williams said. “We played together about 10 years ago in Please see SKINS GAME, page 3B

KU baseball destroys Ala. A&M

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

After Friday’s 10-run victory against Alabama A&M, Kansas University baseball coach Ritch Price revealed his strategy for the weekend was to clear his bench and play as many players as possible.

He wasn’t kidding.

Saturday, during KU’s 19-3, seven-inning victory in Game 1 of a doubleheader sweep — KU won Game 2, 11-0 — senior T.J. Walz, the team’s top pitcher, took his turn at the plate. The result?

Walz hit a sharp single to right field and was lifted quickly in favor of a pinch runner.

“I was nervous,” Walz said of his first career at-bat. “I couldn’t believe how close the pitcher looked. I was like, ‘Man, pitching should be easy.’”

In addition to becoming the first Jayhawk in the Big 12 era to top 300 strikeouts in a season and tying the school record for career pitching victories, it’s likely Walz now will be remembered as one of the few Jayhawks to bat 1 .000 for his career.

DETROIT — One day after being shut down by Justin Verlander, the Kansas City Royals fared no better against Brad Penny.

Penny pitched eight scoreless innings with the help of some terrific Detroit fielding, and the Tigers beat Kansas City, 3-0, on Saturday for their seventh straight victory. The Royals scored only one run the night before against Verlander in a 3-1 loss.

“Pitchers feed off each other,” Kansas City’s Jeff Francoeur said.

“I’m sure (Penny) saw Verlander last night and probably thought he had to come out and keep it ROYALS going.”

Detroit VS. TIGERS scored three runs in the first When: 12:05 p.m. inning, then today held on for its 10th victory in Where: Detroit 11 games. The Pitchers: Davies Tigers made (1-5) vs. Scherzer four marvelous (6-0) plays in the TV: FSKC (36, 236) field to prevent a Kansas City comeback.

Penny (4-3) allowed five hits and no walks in eight innings, striking out two. Jose Valverde struck out two more in a hitless ninth, earning his 10th save.

Jeff Francis (0-5) pitched all eight innings for Kansas City, allowing seven hits and a walk.

He struck out four.

“Just didn’t come out of the chute with the best stuff,” Francis said. “I guess I got a wake-up call.”

Francis bounced back in what was his longest outing since 2007.

“You’ve got to tip your hat to their guy,” Penny said. “He gave up those runs early and pitched deep into the game and saved their bullpen. That guy threw well enough to win today.”

The complete game was the first for Francis since Aug. 29, 2007, when he was pitching for the Colorado Rockies.

Asked if he’d politely decline an invitation to step into the batter’s box a second time, Walz was honest.

“I don’t think they’ll ask me to hit again,” he said.

Senior hurler Wally Marciel also picked up a plate appearance Saturday. Marciel, who played first base for a couple of innings as well, was unable to John Young/Journal-World Photo reach base, flying out after KANSAS UNIVERSITY’S ALEX DELEON, RIGHT, swinging at the first pitch.

The inaugural at-bats by the IS CONGRATULATED at home plate following pitchers were just two highlights his three-run home run in Game 1. The Jayhawks blasted Alabama A&M, 19-3 and Please see KU BASEBALL, page 3B 11-0, on Saturday at Hoglund Ballpark. ● Box score on page 4B

6A HIGH SCHOOL TENNIS

LHS, FSHS grow from state run

By Ben Ward Journal-World Sports Writer

FREE STATE’S PATRICK CARTTAR PREPARES for a shot during his doubles match on Saturday in Topeka.

TOPEKA — While Saturday at the state tennis tournament marked the end of a stellar run for Free State High’s top doubles team, it was only the beginning for one of Lawrence High’s best singles players.

FSHS seniors Patrick Carttar and Chris Helt fell in both of their matches at the Kossover Tennis Facility — 6-4, 6-0 to a tandem from Blue Valley West,

and 9-1 to Hutchinson’s top duo — but reflected fondly on their growth in recent years.

“Obviously we wish we could have done better, but last year we didn’t even qualify for state,” Carttar said. “But we did win regionals (as a team), and (Chris and I) finished second as a pair.”

“That’s my fondest memory,” Helt said.

FSHS coach Oather Strawderman agreed and offered nothing but praise for Carttar and Helt, as well as his other senior doubles

team, Luke Cortese and Jack Hearnen, who split their two matches Friday.

“Those four qualifying for state is just an awesome accomplishment,” Strawderman said.

“For us to be regional champions ... it was just a really strong year with a strong finish for those four seniors.”

American League Red Sox 6, Yankees 0 NEW YORK — Adrian Gonzalez homered for the fourth consecutive game, and Josh Beckett shut down the skidding Yankees for the second time this season.

Longtime star Jorge Posada asked to be taken out of the New York lineup after the slumping designated hitter was dropped to No. 9 in the batting order.

Posada’s wife tweeted the f ive-time All-Star had a stiff back. But a person familiar with the discussion between Posada and the team told the Associated Press that he “refused” to play.

Hawaii in a Nike coaches deal.

We were partners. It’s the only time I’ve played with him. I remember he hit it far, and it was a lot of fun.”

Self is 12 years younger than Williams.

“Trust me, he is a lot better player than I am,” Self said.

Asked if he wants to win badly, Self exclaimed: “No, no.

I’d love to win, but I am much more concerned if there’s a round ball and it bounces. I couldn’t care less who wins this one.”

This marks the first time Williams has been back to Kansas for an official event since his leaving to coach at his alma mater.

“It depends what you call ‘official,’’’ Williams said. “I came back and saw Tyrel Reed play in high school at least twice. Kimberly (daughter) stayed in Lawrence a year after we left. We came and helped her pack up and move.

As far as some duty other than recruiting, this is the first trip back.”

Williams — he also was back for the memorial service for former KU athletic director Bob Frederick — was looking forward to spending some time with Frederick’s wife, Margey, as well as former KU football coach Terry Allen and his wife, Lynn, on this trip.

“I tell everybody it was 15 great years of my life,” Williams said of his time in Lawrence. “Every time somebody at the airport says, ‘Rock Chalk,’ I say, ‘Go KU.’ So it’s an easy deal for me.”

The two coaches have been part of amazing runs at KU. Self, who is 444-151 (.746) overall as a coach, is 237-46 at KU for an .837 win percentage.

Williams, who is 638-163 (.797) overall, went 418-101 at KU for an .805 win mark.

“Make sure everybody knows mine is better, at KU at least,” Self said with a laugh, referring to his win percentage.

“Everybody respects the job he did in his time at KU,” Self added in a serious tone. “I am proud of the fact he was great for KU. This should be a total, positive fun event.”

Williams is elated he’ll be playing with Towner, one of his best buddies who is the general manager of the new Firekeeper course.

“Randy was one of the best friends I have in the whole world for 15 years, and it’s been the same way for the eight years I’ve been gone,” Williams said. “It’s a fun thing to come to try to help him.”

The public is invited.

Admission is free.

“If you are a KU fan, what a cool deal. Two of the winningest coaches ever together,” Towner said. “I have one of my best buddies playing in Roy, and Bill is my coach.

We’ve laughed and cried with both of them.” ●

Daniels update: Jeff Goodman of FOX Sports reported on Twitter that DeAndre Daniels, a 6-foot-8 senior forward from IMG Academies in Bradenton, Fla., will not be attending Duke. That would leave KU and Texas as his finalists. Wednesday is the last day of the spring signing period.

Chalmers returns to Final Four ... this time, in NBA

By Tim Reynolds Associated Press Sports Writer

M IAMI — Mario Chalmers has been watching plenty of video, studying Derrick Rose’s game in an effort to get ready for the Eastern Conference finals.

Suffice to say, no clips from 2008 are in that homework reel.

No need to further break down the ones from that year, though — Chalmers has them permanently committed to memory.

Go figure. Chalmers is in a Final Four, the NBA version, for the f irst time. And his primary assignment when he’s on the floor for the Chalmers Miami Heat in this East championship series will be trying to slow down Rose, the Chicago Bulls star, the NBA’s reigning MVP — and the player Chalmers made the shot of his life against in the 2008 NCAA title game.

Game 1 of the series is tonight in Chicago.

“It’s a lot of different now,” Chalmers said. “Two different hypes. He’s the star of his team. We’ve got Dwyane Wade, LeBron James and Chris Bosh on our team. So it’s a lot different.”

After all, the last time they met in a Final Four — the college one — the 2008 national championship was on the line.

Rose made one of two foul

shots with 10.8 seconds left in regulation, giving Memphis a 63-60 lead. Chalmers got the ball on the right wing with 5 seconds left as he curled toward the top of the key, stopped after one dribble and took one of the biggest shots in Kansas’ storied history. His three-pointer over Rose’s outstretched arm swished, the teams went to overtime, where KU prevailed, 75-68.

“Never get tired of talking about it,” Chalmers said. “It’s probably one of the greatest compliments I’ve had in my lifetime. It’ll be a moment I’ll cherish for the rest of my life.”

An NBA title would be right up there, too.

And to get one of those this season, Miami will likely have to contain Rose a bit.

The Heat are not expected to change their starting lineup for the East finals, which means Mike Bibby will be at the point to open games.

But given how the regular season went, it’s a safe guess Miami will use Chalmers plenty against Rose.

Rose was on the court against Chalmers for 91:32 in the teams’ three games, all won by Chicago. In that time, Rose shot 43 percent from the floor, was 1-for-8 from threepoint range, 16-for-17 from the foul line and scored 0.7 1 points per minute.

When Rose was on the floor without Chalmers, a total of 26:54, he shot 50 percent and scored 0.82 points per minute.

“Rio’s going to have to be smart,” Wade said. “ ... Rio is an aggressive defender. But he has to be smart versus a guy like D-Rose.”

City regional pairings released J-W Staff Reports

Lawrence and Free State high schools will meet in a first-round Class 6A regional softball matchup Tuesday, and FSHS will play host to a baseball regional on Wednesday.

The spring-sport regional pairings were completed after meetings Saturday and released by the Kansas State High School Activities Association.

Third-seeded LHS (12-8) will meet sixth-seeded FSHS (9-11) at 4:45 p.m. Tuesday at Hummer Sports Park in a first-round softball regional.

The winner will advance to face second-seeded Topeka (13-7) or seventh-seeded Junction City (2-18) in the 6:30 p.m. championship. The winner of that game will advance to state, which will run May 2728 at Kansas University’s Arrocha Ballpark.

In baseball regionals, second-seeded Free State (15-5) will host seventh-seeded Junction City (7-13) at 4:30 p.m. at FSHS. The winner will advance to the 7 p.m. championship game against either third-seeded Wichita Heights

(14-6) or sixth-seeded Leavenworth (11-9).

Fifth-seeded Lawrence (119) will face fourth-seeded Washburn Rural (13-7) at 2 p.m. Wednesday at Manhattan, with the winner advancing to the 7 p.m. championship against No. 1 Manhattan (17-3) or No. 8 Topeka (317).

Free State also will host a Class 6A soccer regional Tuesday. Fourth-seeded FSHS (9-6-1) will entertain No. 5 Junction City (6-9-1) at 6:30 p.m. The winner will advance to a 6 p.m. game Thursday at Manhattan, against No. 1 Manhattan (14-2) or No. 8 Leavenworth (2-14).

Seventh-seeded Lawrence (4-12) will travel to secondseeded Washburn Rural (10-51) at 6 p.m. Tuesday. That winner will return to Rural to face No. 3 Wichita Heights (10-6) or No. 6 Topeka (6-10).

And 12-seeded Seabury Academy will face No. 5 seed Bonner Springs (6-9-1) in a Class 4-1A regional at 6 p.m.

Tuesday in Bonner. The winner of that game will face No. 4 Lenexa St. James Academy (6-8-1) at 6 p.m. Thursday at Bonner Springs.

KU baseball CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

on the list of individual achievements during Saturday’s doubleheader.

Catcher Alex DeLeon’s three-run home run in the bottom of the third gave him six for the season.

Jordan Brown finished 2for-4 with five RBIs. Included among them were his first career homer — a three-run shot in the third — and first career triple.

Brown said the thoughts of hitting for the cycle didn’t enter his mind until after the game.

“It was a lot of fun,” he said.

“We’re just trying to get some momentum going into the KState series. I’ve been working hard for a while, and it finally paid off. But I really enjoyed watching the pitchers hit.”

Brown said the role reversal nearly went both ways, but second baseman Ka’iana Eldredge’s request to pitch an inning was denied by the coaching staff.

Tom Hougland’s double in the third, Taylor Hart’s single in the fourth and Carlo Ramirez’s single and RBI in the fourth all were career firsts.

The Jayhawks ran their streak of consecutive scoring innings to 12 by plating runs in the first four innings. The streak included all seven innings of Friday’s game, as well as the ninth inning in a loss to Oklahoma last Sunday.

The 19-run effort in Game 1 was the most for Kansas against a Div. I opponent since

tournament, bowed to Shawnee Mission West’s Vinny Pham for the second straight day, this time 6-4, 6-2.

Irick then ended his day with a 9-3 setback against Blue Valley North’s Adam Yungmeyer.

“It’s definitely a different atmosphere,” Irick said. “With the crowd here, you’ve got to be mentally prepared for them being against you. And you’ve got to pound the guy for having them on his side.”

BRIEFLY KU track’s Scott repeats as champion NORMAN, OKLA. — Kansas University senior Jordan Scott repeated as Big 12 champion in the pole vault Saturday at the Big 12 Outdoor Championships.

Scott cleared the vault at 5.38 meters, becoming the first athlete in Big 12 history to claim three outdoor titles in that event.

The Kansas men sat in fourth place in the team standings, while the KU women were in sixth place after Day 2.

KU sophomore thrower Mason Finley repeated as Big 12 Outdoor shot put champion with a winning toss of 19.63 meters. Finley, the NCAA leader in the shot put, claimed his third overall Big 12 title.

KU topped Missouri State, 197, in April 2006.

While KU’s offensive outburst stole the show, starting pitcher Tanner Poppe’s shortbut-sweet outing came at a perfect time.

Last weekend, Poppe (3-5) lasted just two innings in a loss at Oklahoma. Saturday, the sophomore from Girard struck out six and surrendered three hits in four innings to pick up the win.

“It felt good to go out there and throw strikes and work on my off-speed stuff and get ready for next week,” Poppe said.

In Game 2, KU freshman Alex Cox pitched four innings, gave up three hits and struck out two to earn the win.

Kansas (25-27) will go for the series sweep at 1 p.m. today, when regular closer Colton Murray will get the start for the Jayhawks.

Though not exactly disappointed, Irick wasn’t too thrilled with his finish, insisting he’s eager to return and make a deeper run next year.

LHS coach Chris Marshall suggested his youngster’s best tennis is yet to come.

“Now he’s experienced the highs and lows, so hopefully he can hang in there (next time), overcome those circumstances and turn them into victories,” Marshall said.

Andrew Craig, the only Firebird to compete in singles, was also tripped up in both of his matches. He dropped his opening match, 6-1, 6-2, to O’Gorman-Bean from Shawnee Mission East, and

then fell 9-3 to SM North’s Keenan Smith, despite a late surge.

“It’s closer than it appears on paper, but I didn’t win those key points,” Craig said.

It was Craig’s third loss to Smith this season, which the junior hopes to remedy with plenty of hard work during the offseason. Craig said he plans to play at least four times per week in hopes of a stronger showing at state next year.

“That’s something that he can look back on all year,” Strawderman said. “(Smith is) going to keep getting better, so (Andrew’s) got to keep working harder.”

Heat, Bulls collide

Thunder’s Durant eager to atone

DEERFIELD, ILL. (AP) — On the night of the big “Decision” last summer, Luol Deng was at the Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya with no TV, and no one was asking if LeBron James would sign with the Chicago Bulls.

Deng wasn’t paying attention to the soap opera. No one there was.

“They didn’t really care,” Deng said.

Deng will be paying close attention to James starting today, when the Bulls meet the Miami Heat in an Eastern Conference finals that could have been ripped out of a Hollywood script.

On one side is a team led by MVP Derrick Rose that stormed to the league’s best record. On the other is a squad led by a superstar trio that decided to unite in Miami after meeting with Chicago.

“Everyone has the right to make the decision that they want,” Deng said. “They got what they wanted. We’re happy with the team that we have.”

The Heat got James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in perhaps the greatest freeagent haul ever, hoping to win a championship — or five.

The Bulls wound up with one of the deepest teams after failing to reel in the “Big Three” and are back in the conference finals for the first time since Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen were completing their second championship three-peat in 1998.

But what if the Bulls had landed one or two of the “Big Three?” Chicago had a strong pitch, with one of the top young point guards in Rose and solid support like Deng and Joakim Noah.

“It was a great meeting that I had with that team and that franchise, knowing the history,” James said. “There was some great things that they said, but at the end of the day, I felt like this was the best opportunity for me to win a championship.”

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Kevin Durant had trouble sleeping, trying to shake off the worst playoff performance yet in his young NBA career.

After the league’s scoring champion managed just 11 points in Oklahoma City’s loss that set up Game 7 today against the Memphis Grizzlies, Durant woke up Saturday still thinking about what went wrong.

Durant took nine of his 14 shots from behind the arc, and he made only one basket over the last 45 minutes of the game.

“It was tough,” Durant said.

“That’s a part of this league.

It’s going to happen.

“Especially being one of the main guys, I tend to take a lot of the pressure and put it on myself. But it is what it is. I’ve got to fight through it, I’ve got to continue to be positive around my guys and go from there.”

At least by morning, his dreams had taken a turn for the better.

“I made a lot of my shots, of course, in the dream. It wasn’t a nightmare,” Durant said. “I made some shots and we won the game.

“But that’s just a dream.”

Like most of the other players in a matchup of two of the NBA’s rising young teams, Durant has never experienced a Game 7. The Thunder lost to the Lakers in six games in the first round of last year’s playoffs, then beat Denver in five to advance this year.

The closest he could relate to the winner-take-all stakes was

the NCAA Tournament — where his Texas Longhorns were eliminated in the second round in his only year in college.

Memphis’ star, Zach Randolph, doesn’t have it much better. He went to Game 7 with Portland in his second year in the league, helping the Blazers rally from an 0-3 deficit to tie up the series before losing the finale. His teams had missed the playoffs each of the seven years since before Memphis’ current bid to be the first No. 8 seed to reach the West finals.

The winner advances to face the Mavericks starting Tuesday night in Dallas.

“We know what we’re playing for,” Randolph said. “We know it’s the last game, and we know whoever wins this game goes to the next round, goes to the finals. So, it’s going to be different.”

Oklahoma City’s franchise hasn’t played in a Game 7 since 1997 as the Seattle SuperSonics, losing to Houston in the West semifinals.

The Sonics also lost twice and won once in Game 5 of a bestof-five series since then.

Sign contract to stay in grandson’s life Dear Annie: In one short month, my life has fallen apart. My son and his wife have a beautiful 7-year-old boy — bright, funny and athletic. From the day he was born, I helped care for him while his parents worked. I rearranged my work schedule so I would be available for him. I taught him to ride a bike, bought him clothes and toys, stayed with him in the hospital when he was ill, laughed with him, held him, kissed him, read to him.

The problem? His parents and I had an argument, and they threatened to keep him away. We both said hurtful things, and I apologized for mine, but in response, I was told, “Please don’t contact us anymore.” I called my grandson and told him I was sad and afraid I might lose him. My son said I was involving the child in the problem, so I haven’t seen or spoken to my grandchild in four weeks.

Now my son and daughterin-law are writing up a legal contract that will tell me how to behave around my grandson. Why are they so angry?

They used me until they didn’t need me anymore. Now they want to control me. I am a mature, well-regarded adult, loved by the rest of my family, respected by my boss and liked by my neighbors. I have

Daytime drama now found in prime time A progressive dinner party allows viewers to catch up with every major character on the two-hour season finale of “Desperate Housewives” (8 p.m., ABC). And the dinner crawl ends with a murder, shocking the residents of Wisteria Lane, or at least those still capable of being shocked after years of multiple murders, disappearances, sudden deaths, storms, plane crashes and other over-thetop calamities.

“Survivor: Redemption Island” (7 p.m., CBS) also wraps up its season, followed by an instant reunion (9 p.m.).

It’s interesting to note that the enduring nature of shows like “Desperate Housewives” and “Survivor” has coincided with the decline of the daytime soap opera. While ABC will be washing its hands of “All My Children,” the serial nature and scheming archetypal characters featured on afternoon soaps have been absorbed into both “Survivor” on CBS and on series all over the ABC lineup.

With few exceptions, ABC has become the Soap Opera Network on a bigger budget. “Desperate Housewives” may seem exhausted and creatively bankrupt to some, but it endures because, like the best and worst of daytime soaps, it has developed a passionate fan base. The same could be said of “The Bachelor,” “Dancing with the Stars” and the “Grey’s Anatomy”/“Private Practice” nexus. They don’t matter very much to the nonfan, and in fact they can be repellent to some. But to the devoted they mean a great deal. ● A decade in the making, the documentary “The Storm that Swept Mexico” (9 p.m., PBS, check local listings) recalls the 1910 Mexican revolution that continues to shape that nation’s society, economy, politics and national identity.

Mexico’s revolt threatened, or promised, to destroy an entrenched landowning elite and bring a voice to long downtrodden ethnic minorities. “Storm” recalls America’s love-hate relationship with the mythic figures of the revolution, Francisco “Pancho” Villa and Emiliano Zapata.

The fledgling film industry from Hollywood sent film crews south of the border to document the fighting with a real-life Villa as a “star” of his own silent movies.

Unlike many histories that tend to put the United States’ relationship with Europe and Latin America in separate boxes, “Storm” examines the approach of both world wars from a Mexican perspective. Where period footage cannot be found, the film uses glorious and evocative woodcuts as illustrations.

Tonight’s other highlights ● Scheduled on “60 Minutes” (6 p.m., CBS): an interview with outgoing Defense Secretary Robert Gates. ● “South Riding” concludes on “Masterpiece Mystery” (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings. part 3 of 3). ● The Targaryens pay the price for the Daenerys’ dalliance with the Dothrakis on “Game of Thrones” (8 p.m., HBO). Spell checking is hopeless in this make-believe kingdom! ● “Killing Bin Laden” (9 p.m., Discovery) recalls the recent secret raid by Navy SEALs. ● A rapper cuts a record deal with Aunt Mimi (Elizabeth Ashley) and Davis (Steve Zahn) on “Treme” (9 p.m., HBO).

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Sunday, May 15: This year, you could feel pressured by others, not sure how much is too much to give. Some of you might feel the inverse — that you need to do more. There will be a juggling of different priorities. If you are single, you will want to relate actively, and you might have several opportunities to do just that. If you are attached, the two of you could be juggling the very basis of your relationship.

Scorpio can be challenging.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You'll Have: 5Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) ★★★★ Togetherness is your theme as you learn to deal with a significant difference of opinion. You feel good and unusually creative. Tonight: Indulge a partner.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ★★★★★ Share your free time with not just a partner but also with friends and family. You might want to invite others over for a get-together, depending on what you like to do. Tonight: All smiles.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ★★★ Pace yourself carefully, as you are tired and withdrawn. Your

friends simply want to be with you. Say "no" if you are too tired to enjoy anyone. Honor your needs.

Tonight: Early to bed.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ★★★★ How you live and the choices you make really is your business, and only yours. Many people will have their own opinions. Tonight: Carry on as if there is no tomorrow.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★★ Listen to your thoughts and what you want. Spend time with family or close to home.

You need extra R and R. Recognize your limits rather than test them.

Tonight: Happy at home.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★★★ Chat and ask questions in an easy, relaxing tone. News from someone at a distance could disrupt your plans. Tonight: Hang out with your friends.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ★★★★ Indulge others.

Everyone likes to be treated sometimes. Your happy style and positive way help make everyone feel at home. Tonight: Order in.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★★★ You wake up feeling as if you have a new lease on life. Confusion surrounds a loved one or several people. You might veer in a new direction when

you least expect it. Tonight: Relish the moment.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21) ★★ Much is going on behind the scenes. Realize what is occurring right in front of your very eyes.

Internalize what you are seeing and decide what you want to do. Tonight: Choose something relaxing.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★★★ Join friends.

You might find someone quite distracted or withdrawn. Perhaps this person needs and wants more attention from you.

Tonight: You create fun wherever you go.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★ Someone you respect and care about could have very different ideas from you. It might be causing you to feel pressured. Tonight: Do some hard thinking.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★★★ You could open up to new possibilities without even trying.

You are up for adventure and trying something very different. Tonight: Follow the music.

ll-American ales Local breweries join national craft beer festivities

By Sarah Aylward

Special to the Journal-World

Summer weather is slowly but surely setting in, and two local breweries are celebrating the season with a week devoted to craft beers.

The folks at Free State Brewing Co., 636 Mass., and 23rd Street Brewery, 3512 Clinton Parkway are joining American Craft Beer Week, in its sixth year of celebration.

Free State Brewing Co. founder and proprietor Chuck Magerl says this is the first year Free State has participated in the national event.

“Last year we were in the midst of doing our first bottling run at our production site, and that had us fully occupied,” he says.

Magerl says they want to repeat craft beer week annually. “Usually this time of year the weather’s turned nice and it’s a great time to have a beer.”

Events at Free State include a Sunday open house at their Eastside Brewery, 1923 Moodie Road, complete with beers, burgers, brats and music from the band Old Fangled. The brewing staff will be on-hand to answer ale, lager and barley wine queries as well.

On Monday, the downtown restaurant location will offer discounted beers. On Wednesday, the staff will have a beer-and-cheese pairing event at WheatFields Bakery, 904 Vt., starting at 8 p.m. Chef Rick Martin and staff from The Merc, 901 S. Iowa, will

choose from specialty cheeses and Free State brews. Tickets for the event will be made available for purchase through Free State’s website.

Free State also will have a Brewer for a Day contest.

Those interested are encouraged to send in their best prose with specific words included by May 31 to the Free State staff.

“It’s one of those ideas that emerged from a group meeting,” Magerl says. “People have taken different approaches to it. Some are taking it as a narrative or fantasy, others are doing haiku.

It’s pretty fun.”

The winner will work as a brewer for a day at the down-

BEHIND THE LENS

Photographer’s car like a camera bag on wheels

By Kevin Anderson kanderson@ljworld.com

You’re probably wondering what is a piece about a car doing in a column about photography. Well, for staff photographers at the Journal-World, our cars are a vital part of having a job. You might even say it is the biggest piece of equipment in our sizeable arsenal. I like to tell people it is my camera bag on wheels.

The car for a photographer serves many purposes. In addition to carrying all the stuff we need, it gets us from place to place in a hurry (always prudent to the posted speed limit). It gets us to the closest position for the best shot possible and provides us a stable base to even shoot atop, if necessary. Countless times I have stood in the bed or on the roof of the

truck to take a picture.

I was never one to name any of my cars. I read somewhere that photographer Ansel Adams named his car Hercules I that was used for many of his famous landscape shots — he even had a roof platform installed to shoot from. When it was time to replace his car, he named the new one Hercules II. So we have to carry all kinds of things ranging from cameras, lenses, lights and light stands, umbrellas, soft boxes, tripods, bags, pouches and other miscellaneous photo gear. Then we also have to be prepared for the changing weather. Extra fleece, snow boots, snow pants, gloves and hats in winter; rain gear for spring. Towels to dry the equipment off. Plus a laptop, chargers, phone and notebooks

“They will know what it’s like to have people staring at them through the glass.

They’ll be learning the process as well as getting in on some of the physical labor of the job, and experiencing exactly what it is that keeps the guys going back there,” he says.

Other prizes include a free lunch, a Free State sign, an authentic pair of brewer’s boots with signatures from the brewing staff and an official photograph in case the beer tasting has left the winner with a hazy memory or in need of a souvenir for any reason.

The staff at 23rd Street Brewery is also celebrating with brewery tours from Tuesday through Saturday from 11 am. to 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. by head brewer Bryan “Bucky” Buckingham.

Matt Llewellyn of 23rd Street Brewery purchased the company in April 2005 when it was still called 75th Street Brewery and changed the name in December of 2006.

“I am usually in the brewery at some point every day of the week doing whatever I can to help out the staff and the guests,” he says.

with an assortment of pens.

And a travel-size bottle of ibuprofen.

Photographers need their cars. Reporters can do a lot of their writing from phone interviews, but photographers need to be at the place for the story. It is a visual necessity.

We spend a lot of time in our vehicles. And the vehicle spends a lot of time with us. As a photo team, car and driver have covered many stories. Been to many places.

Down many dusty roads together.

Which brings me to this week: I replaced my Ford pickup after having it for over seven years. It was time.

The miles were getting up there, and I needed more space for all my gear.

Shopping around, I settled on a used SUV. Perfect color for a photographer — 18 percent gray. This would allow me to make creative use of the space in back for storage of my equipment. Lots of

space for lots of gear. With cup holder and power windows, I’m good to go. I’m not sure I’ll be standing on the roof of this one. But if the photo calls for it, I’m up there.

I had to clear out all my photo gear in the truck before trading it in. As I separated everything, I came up with new ideas on how the new car should be packed. After it was all out, I had my wife take my picture with the truck one last time.

As my final journey with my truck, I drove to the dealership in Leavenworth.

Crossing the bridge over the Kaw River on Kansas 7 near Bonner Springs made me think of all the times I took the same trip when I was working for The Bonner Springs Chieftain, The Basehor Sentinel and The Shawnee Dispatch. I bought the truck used about the time I starting working there.

I drove with the windows open. Had the radio off. The

ARTS NOTE Raven announces upcoming readings Mariko Nagai, author of “Georgic: Stories,” will give a reading at 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Raven Book Store, 6 E. Seventh St. Mariko’s stories are informed by Japanese folk tales and by her research on World War II-era events.

Although Mariko is a Japanese national, she writes in English and was educated at Boston University and New York University, having grown up in Europe and the United States as well as Japan. She has been a fellow at Yaddo, UNESCO-

Aschberg Bursaries for the Arts and the Rockefeller Foundation, and she has won two Pushcart Prizes.

Publisher’s Weekly describes “Georgic Stories” as: “Playing on a classical form of poetry celebrating the labors of the farmer, Nagai (Histories of Bodies) sets these 10 haunting tales within a rural landscape ravaged by war and famine and denuded of bucolic splendor..... Starkly recounted with a clear, cold tone, these stories carry the weight of a survivor bearing witness.”

Additionally, the Raven’s next Big Tent: Stories and Poems in Three Acts will be at 7 p.m. Thursday. Kathryn Kysar

Troubled Broadway ‘Spider-Man’ flies again

By Jocelyn Noveck Associated Press Writer

NEW YORK — Call it “SpiderMan: Take Two.” A revamped “Spider-Man” musical took flight Thursday evening, with producers hoping audiences would take kindly to what they’ve called a cleaner script, tighter music and an enhanced love story for the most expensive show in Broadway history.

But you can’t go back. You drive forward. It’s time to change.

So the truck will be traded in and probably will be sold at auction. It might end up in some small used car lot somewhere. Maybe it will become a farm truck.

own website indicated dozens of available seats for the next few days. Some ticket brokers were even offering up to 40 percent off orchestra and balcony seats.

The $70 million musical with music by U2’s Bono and The Edge reopens with most of the cast intact but without the visionary Julie Taymor as director. Reeve Carney, who plays Peter Parker, said the changes have been reinvigorating.

“There’s an energy in the company because of having a clear direction, knowing where we’re headed and knowing that it’s going to be to a greater place,” said Carn ey. Th e n ew s c r i p t , h e says, “jumps off the page at you.”

Playwright Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, director Philip William McKinley and choreographer Chase Brock cleaned up a story that had wandered into darker and mythological themes, while Bono and The Edge reworked the songs. More flying stunts were added and the romance between Peter Parker and Mary Jane returned to center stage.

The original show began previews in November and s o o n we n t b a d . Pe rfo r mances were canceled and stunts went awry, leaving a c t o r s t ra p p e d h a n g i n g over the audience. There were five major accidents to cast members, including one to lead actress Natalie Mendoza, who left the show after suffering a concussion.

The worst accident hap-

pened to actor Christopher Tierney, who suffered a fractured skull, a fractured shoulder blade, four broken ribs and three broken vertebrae on Dec. 20 when he tumbled in front of a shocked preview audience after a safety harness failed. In April, only four months after the fall, he returned to the show and is expected to again execute the main Spider-Man aerial stunts on Thursday.

Every new crisis seemed to postpone another opening, leading to it break the record for the longest run of preview performances, a dubious milestone.

All the bad press — including professional critics who slammed the show in February — didn’t hurt the show at the box office, where it regularly sold out and was among the highest earners on Broadway.

G r e g We n d e l k e n , 4 9, who works in commercial real estate in Seattle, picked up a ticket Thursday to see what all the fuss was about. “All the uproar about it,” he said. “Biggest budget on Broadway. I’m intrigued.”

The new show expects to have about a month of previews before its June 14 opening. Since it missed this year’s Tony Award deadline and the potential prizes, it could have a tumultuous summer if the economy fails to improve, tourists flock to other shows and New Yorkers who saw the original now sniff at lining up to see the rebooted Spidey.

? A sleeper hit

WHAT ARE YOU

Pulitzer winner Jennifer Egan takes new trajectory with ‘Goon Squad’ understanding that I wanted to be a writer.”

By Carolyn Kellogg Los Angeles Times

Julie Selberg, nurse, Atchison “‘Pale Horse Coming’ by Stephen Hunter. It’s about a prison area that’s secluded from the rest of the world. The main character has to go down and investigate it.”

Fernando Estrada, graduate student, Lawrence “‘Catch 22’ by Joseph Heller.

It’s a novel about fighter pilots during World War II.”

L O S A N G E L E S — Jennifer Egan was not built for the spotlight. “When I was a teenager, one of my sources of angst was that I felt like I was not an actor, I was always a spectator,” she said by phone from New York.

“Later, I realized that that’s just who I am. That’s actually my job.”

Lately, Egan has been much more than a spectator in her own life. Her novel “A Visit From the Goon Squad,” a fractured narrative about time and connection that stretches from 1970s punk rock San Francisco to a futuristic desert home, was recently awarded the Pulitzer Prize for fiction.

Before that, it picked up a prize from the National Book Critics Circle. And on April 29, it won the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for fiction.

“I thought the book would resonate most with people in their mid- to late 40s who are feeling the actual fact of time passing,” says Egan, 48.

“I think the real surprise to me is that young people seem to respond to it.”

Egan writes long-form journalism as well as books — a short-story collection and three other novels. They include “The Keep” (2006), a modern psychological gothic, which was a national bestseller, and “Look at Me” (2001), a finalist for the National Book Award.

Katrina Walker, eighth-grader, Lawrence “‘The Adoration of Jenna Fox’

by Mary E. Pearson. It’s about a girl who comes out of a coma and has to figure out her past.”

A sleeper hit But it’s “A Visit From the Goon Squad” that has been putting Egan front and center. The book has been a sleeper hit — released last June, its reviews were strong but sales were low. Yet it has endured; it returned to the L.A. Times bestseller list early this year. “I feel incredibly lucky and joyful,” Egan says of the book’s success.

The echoes of her life experiences surface in “Goon Squad” — struggling to find a place in a challenging city, a gritty apartment with the bathtub in the middle of the kitchen.

Sometimes called an Cassandra Walter, experimental writer — a law student, designation she isn’t sure Lawrence fits — Egan is ambitious in “‘Jane Eyre’ by Charlotte her approach to storytelling.

Before she decided to try that, she’d never even used PowerPoint before. Just as in her early New York days, she had to learn the program before getting to work.

JENNIFER EGAN attends the Time Magazine’s eighth annual Time 100 Most Influential People in the World Gala, which was April 26 at the Lincoln Center in New York City. She is author of “A Visit from the Goon Squad,” which won a Pulitzer Prize for fiction.

“

I don’t sit down and think, I’m going to write a book about X. At the beginning, that first draft is unpremeditated, almost blind and intuitive.”

— Jennifer Egan, author of “A Visit from the Goon Squad” An anxious start Egan was born in Chicago to parents who divorced when she was 2 — “I don’t have any memories of them together,” she says — and at 7, she moved to San Francisco with her mother and stepfather, an investment banker. It was 1969. Egan’s family was separate from the counterculture, which she observed with unarticulated longing.

“I was really unhappy and uncertain of who I was, what I should be doing. I felt a compulsion to travel. I felt like I had seen nothing and done nothing,” she says.

“Does anyone have an easy adolescence? I think mine was manifestly uneasy.” She worked for a year to earn the money to go to Europe, all on her own.

“I was only in Europe for

seven weeks, maybe, but it felt like a lifetime,” she says.

“I was struggling, and I think that always makes time seem to elongate.”

Although she was deeply moved by her experiences, she was also filled with a building anxiety. For a traveler in 1981, talking with someone back in America meant standing in line for a pay phone to make a collect call — and if no one was home, that was it. The extreme isolation led to panic attacks she couldn’t name. “I thought I was going crazy,” she says.

In her backpack, she carried a journal. “I wrote frenetically the entire time,” she says. “I came out of that

Intuitive writing When writing fiction, Egan blends deep intuition and careful control. “I don’t sit down and think, I’m going to write a book about X,” she says. “At the beginning, that first draft is unpremeditated, almost blind and intuitive.” She often writes at home, sitting in the same chair, even drifting off to sleep. “There may be an overlap with dream life there,” she admits. “In a way, what I’m looking to do is release unconscious impulses and connections and leaps.”

After getting an English degree at the University of Pennsylvania, she got a scholarship to study at Cambridge in England, where she met fellow student David Herskovits in 1986.

The two are married and live in Brooklyn with their two sons.

Not to say that it’s all been easy. Moving back to New York in the late 1980s, on her own at first, Egan had “the obligatory horrific first apartment experience,” paying rent for a couch. She had a master’s degree, but the best work she could find was with a temp agency.

Taking whatever jobs they’d give her, and without a computer at home, she’d go to an all-night computer center on Broadway to learn the programs used by the office she had to be at the next day.

“One of my big inspirations was Proust — I had read a couple of volumes of ‘In Search of Lost Time’ in my early 20s.” Egan is not shy about looking to such writers as Marcel Proust and Thomas Pynchon and John Updike and Philip Roth as inspiration. Not now, anyway. As with her trajectory through anxiety, it was a process to get there.

“When I wrote ‘Look at Me,’ voices in my head were saying, ‘You shouldn’t be doing this. You’re not allowed to do this. This won’t be taken seriously,”’ she says. “I may have internalized some sense that the big, swaggering visions in books were created by men.

“One thing I really believe is that setting your sights beyond what you can do at a particular moment is a great way to force yourself to keep learning. To this day, I start a book and I think, ‘Oh, no, I can’t do it.’ It’s pretty scary, and it can be depressing to realize that you’re working beyond your skill set. But hopefully, by the time I will have finished with it, I will have figured out how the hell to do it. That’s the challenge. That’s how you grow.”

BOOK REVIEW

Marcene Selberg, nurse, Atchison “Nature’s End’ by Whitley Strieber. It’s futuristic, apocalyptic and scientific.”

Erik Larson faces Nazis in ‘Garden of Beasts’

By Erin Vanderberg Associated Press Writer

“In the Garden of Beasts: Love, Terror, and an American Family in Hitler’s Berlin” (Crown), by Erik Larson: How could an American family living in Nazi Germany during Hitler’s first year in power have underestimated what was afoot?

This empathetic viewpoint is at the crux of Erik Larson’s “In the Garden of Beasts: Love, Terror, and an American Family in Hitler’s Berlin.”

Larson intertwines the experiences of the Chicago Dodds with the Nazis’ rise to power in 1933.

William Dodd, a history professor from the University of Chicago, was selected by

President Franklin D. Roosevelt for the ambassadorship in Germany. Unassuming, kindly and frugal, Dodd

believed he could reason with the Nazis while having some time to complete his history on the American South. This belief runs its predictable course.

Martha, the Dodds’ 24year-old daughter, leaves a failed marriage and her job as a literary editor to accompany her family to Berlin.

With the immediate cachet of an ambassador’s daughter, Martha enters the realms of high society, which initially captivate and delight her.

Chronicling the rise of the Third Reich in this intimate fashion is Larson’s most serious nonfiction undertaking yet. The Dodd family was an incredible discovery of primary sources, while the 12-

page bibliography indicates the full extent of the project.

What is most remarkable is how difficult it was for Larson to write this book.

Larson acknowledged that he was unable to keep his “journalist’s remove” during the research process and that he was blindsided by “how much the darkness would infiltrate” his daily life.

Readers will likely find their share of that same burden, and there are times when the book plods slightly under the pressure. Nevertheless, Larson has done it again, expertly weaving together a fresh new narrative from ominous days of the 20th century.

Poet’s Showcase ‘Dig Into Spring’ I dig into Spring soil rich, wet and deep hands and feet bare trial and error learned from moments rare on my grandmother’s farm in western Kansas.

The prick of a thorn, ragged red pathways run down white skin, flow like dark soil through cherry creek-bed where bitter choke cherries taste harsh like Kansas winters.

They flaunt and tease but share no appeasement.

Life, melted snow, begin to flow in urgency.

It’s all about time on the prairie and farm.

Herd the cows to pastures ‘green, gather eggs, deworm sheep, birth calves in mud thigh deep, find the time to plant spring wheat, till a garden, plant the seeds grow enough to give, can and eat.

Wipe the sweat from brows brown and wrinkled, from blazing sun.

The dry heat making rust tainted well water taste cool and sweet.

My feet, now dirty, feel much like the rest of me; stuck in Kansas soil and loving the feel of it.

— Ronda Miller, Lawrence

‘Queen of Rockabilly’ coming to Lawrence

By Trevan McGee trevan@lawrence.com

At 73 years old, Wanda Jackson is enjoying the kind of resurgence most people only dream of. Often referred to as “The Queen of Rockabilly,” she first began performing rockabilly at the behest of her father and Elvis Presley. Their encouragement proved fruitful as Jackson attacked the genre with the kind of zeal and flamboyance of her male counterparts, creating classics such as “Hard Headed Woman,” “Fujiyama Mama” and “Let’s Have a Party.”

When rockabilly’s popularity began to wane, Jackson shifted back to country music, which she had performed at the start of her career. In 1971 she was bornagain and began recording and performing gospel music.

In recent years, her music has found a new audience with members of the rockabilly scene and fans of early rock ‘n’ roll, as many young music fans discovered her work for the first time. This culminated in her most recent album, “The Party’s Not Over,” which was released in January. Produced by Jack White and released on his Third Man label, the album featured Jackson performing both contemporary and classic covers as well as originals, while White provided lead guitar work.

Since then, Jackson has been on a seemingly endless tour, which will bring her through Lawrence on Wednesday for a show at The Granada, 1020 Mass.

Jackson recently spoke to me from her home in Oklahoma City about the tour, working with White and her fascination with the new rockabilly movement.

Q: A:

How is the tour going?

I’m on a series of tours, it seems. I guess maybe that

Third Man Records/Special to the Journal-World

WANDA JACKSON

WIN TICKETS TO SEE WANDA JACKSON Want to see the legendary Wanda Jackson in person? We can help with that. Enter to win one of five pairs of tickets to the Queen of Rockabilly’s concert Wednesday at the Granada.

All you have to do is give us a few details of how to get a hold of you, and tell us the name of your favorite Wanda Jackson nowadays what they call “a tour,” but mine has been a 55-year tour, in that case.

We just got in from 10 days (on the road) and I’m home for two and then I’m out for another eight. So that doesn’t give me much time to get my nails and hair and stuff like that done, but the

song — covers she’s done count, too. Enter to win at Lawrence.com.

Entries will be accepted until 4 p.m. Monday, and winners will be announced Tuesday morning.

Plus, we’ll post updates and our favorite song nominations to our Facebook page, so don’t forget to go have a look. tours are going wonderful.

Lot of changes. Lot of very good differences in my work thanks to Jack White and “The Party Ain’t Over” album. I’m working larger venues — more theaters, and I’m having sold-out houses. This last tour, I was out 10 days, probably eight

working days, and I had two full houses and the rest were sold out. It kind of blows your mind when you’re coming from where I’ve been.

TM: How do the audiences compare now to when you last toured?

WJ: It’s just as different as everything else. I’ve had a younger audience now for about 20 years, through the rockabilly craze. That kind of rockabilly revival that started about 20 years ago. It started in Europe and then in 1995, it began happening for me again here in America. Even at that, these crowds are even more enthusiastic than the crowds I’d been having. And they’re young adults, of course. You might (see) a little sprinkling of gray hair (in the

crowd), but not much.

They’re very young, and they know all of my songs.

We just hit the intro and they knew them, and they sing along with me and they jump up and down, and they stand for an hour-and-a-half and watch my show.

I’m given so very much respect, that’s what’s blowing everybody away that works with me on these things. They say, “We have never seen this before. Not in rock ‘n’ roll.” And when I’m singing they’re hollering and yelling and whooping and the minute the song’s over and I’m about to speak, you can hear a pin drop. It really is pretty awesome.

And it’s like they want to hear what I’ve got to say. I’m telling them little stories about Elvis and about Jack, that they’ve only read about.

They’ve never met anybody who has actually done these things and lived it.

So I just feel like that’s the attraction. They’re younger, younger than my kids. Even Jack could be my grandson.

But I relate to them fine and they seem to love and respect me. I’m most grateful for that.

TM: Does that energy they extend influence how you perform?

WJ: Yeah, it does. Makes me want to do what I did when I was 18. But I can’t quite do that anymore. [laughs] They have put a spring in my step, and they have put a confidence in me that I never had before. With Jack’s confidence in me and now the album being a success and then the fans treating me like this, you can’t help but have more confidence in your work and what you’re doing. And it began with the induction into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame. That’s when I began to notice, “Hey, I feel more confident in what I’m doing.” I know now what I’m doing.

And it’s a good feeling. At 73, you know, it’s about time I had confidence. [laughs]

Fall stakes are high for NBC to revive lineup

By Scott Collins Los Angeles Times

L O S A N G E L E S — As the broadcasters rush to unveil their fall lineups to advertisers next week in New York, no network has more riding on the outcome than NBC. The brand that dominated TV for 20 years starting in the mid-1980s with smash hits such as “The Cosby Show,” then “Friends” and “Seinfeld” has spent the last six years stuck in last place as its managers pursued what they believed was a forward-looking strategy aimed at cutting costs. Now the network has a new owner — cable giant Comcast — and a muchadmired new programmer — Bob Greenblatt, formerly of Showtime — who are bent on restoring the luster of a network that once set standards for both quality and ratings in prime time.

With Greenblatt at the helm, the network is trying to lure the same upscale, educated young audience it once had a lock on. NBC has ordered “Smash,” a musical comedy set on Broadway, which is earning comparisons with Fox’s hit “Glee,” that stars Debra Messing and Anjelica Huston and is produced by Steven Spielberg. It also picked up “Prime Suspect,” an update of the classy British detective series with Helen Mirren that ran on PBS (Maria Bello will play the lead), as well as comedies with Christina Applegate and Whitney Cummings.

The stakes could not be higher: According to research firm SNL Kagan, NBC, a one-time cash cow, lost nearly $81 million in 2010, compared with a $14-million profit the previous year and a $204-million profit in 2008

NBC has ordered “Smash,” a musical comedy set on Broadway, which is earning comparisons with Fox’s hit “Glee,” that stars Debra Messing and Anjelica Huston and is produced by Steven Spielberg. (the data include only results from network operations, not company-owned and — operated local TV stations).

Now analysts and talent representatives are hailing NBC — which will be the first network to greet advertisers Monday morning — for a return to form.

Back to scripted series The “bigger emphasis on scripted series” is a good move, according to Shari Anne Brill, a longtime New York-based programming analyst. “That was what kept NBC strong, that was what made the network No. 1. It’s not ‘Fear Factor,’ ‘Minute to Win It’ and ‘Biggest Loser.”’

(Through a spokeswoman, NBC said Greenblatt was not available to comment for this article.)

Like many creative people in Hollywood, Brill was especially dismissive of the strategy under previous NBC boss Jeff Zucker of “managing for margins, not ratings” — that is, making programming decisions based on profitability, with little regard for a show’s popularity. “That’s not how you run a network,” Brill said. “You might want to do that when you’re ordering office supplies.”

Changes for ABC, Fox Of course, NBC is not the

only network under the gun next week. ABC has also endured some rough seasons recently, with Entertainment President Paul Lee facing pressure to come up with new hits that can replace aging series such as “Desperate Housewives” and “Grey’s Anatomy.” Among its top drama prospects are “Pan Am,” a 1960s throwback á là “Mad Men,” and a reboot of “Charlie’s Angels,” the Aaron Spelling-produced 1970s crime drama.

Fox, which is expected to put Simon Cowell’s “The X Factor” on the fall schedule and renew “American Idol” for next winter, has relatively few holes in the lineup. But this week the network canceled a number of marginal current shows, including “Lie to Me” and “Chicago Code,” and ordered “The New Girl,” a comedy with Zooey Deschanel, as well as a spinoff of its cult crime show, “Bones.”

CBS without Sheen At No. 1 network CBS, meanwhile, the biggest question is what to do about “Two and a Half Men,” TV’s mostwatched comedy, which was sent reeling after star Charlie Sheen engaged in a series of high-profile escapades, vilified his bosses and was eventually fired earlier this year.

After rumors surfaced this week that the producers had unsuccessfully wooed British movie star Hugh Grant as a replacement, it was reported Friday morning that Ashton Kutcher has signed on to star in the CBS sitcom. Ratings for CBS’ Monday lineup have stumbled as “Men” has gone into permanent repeats.

But such a problem would likely seem a luxury for Greenblatt and his programming team. NBC has not

delivered a flat-out hit in scripted programming in years, probably since the first season of “Heroes” nearly five years ago — an eternity by prime-time standards.

Risky business To correct that will take patience and many more atbats. The numbers tell the story: NBC ordered 22 scripted pilots this year, compared with 20 last year and just 12 in 2009, when it embarked on an ill-fated experiment to bring Jay Leno to prime time. One talent representative who spoke on condition of anonymity to avoid jeopardizing relationships with network executives said it could take NBC three to five years to become competitive again.

‘The Voice’ One immediate dilemma: What to do about “The Voice.” The singing contest — which was greenlighted by the previous NBC regime — has scored strong ratings in its first three weeks, and NBC announced Thursday that it would feature expanded episodes next month. The temptation is to use it for fall, possibly on Mondays and Tuesdays, where NBC can use all the help it can get. But with Fox’s similarly themed “X Factor” on tap, “The Voice” could wear out quickly. Also, relying so heavily on another reality show might not make it any easier for NBC to reestablish itself as a go-to destination for great dramas.

But many industry veterans predict Greenblatt has as good a shot as anyone of succeeding. “He’s trying to upscale” the network, said one TV agent. “He’s smart, he’s got good contacts and great taste.”

THE PLANNING STAGES Planning and designing a new kitchen often takes more time than the actual physical work.

It is estimated that more than half of consumers keep project folders containing information that spans 19 product categories and 52 brands under consideration.

Photos, design ideas, and other inspiration are gathered from magazines, websites, and brochures. Homeowners generally spend nearly two months in the comparison stage, during which their wish lists solidify. At this point, a showroom visit helps consolidate choices and ideas.

Of course, sorting through all those options can be a lot of fun. It can also be overwhelming. Let us help.

Our professional kitchen designers will be happy to sit down with your folder and help you make sense of it all. Then we can design and coordinate the installation of all aspects of your new kitchen.

LES CONDER, rural Douglas County, intends to donate the produce from his 10,000-square-foot garden to local food bank Just Food. BELOW RIGHT, a birdhouse at the edge of Conder’s garden. After testing the soil’s pH, Conder added lime, phosphorus and potassium to his garden.

ABOVE, Les Conder, rural Douglas County, checks over a row of broccoli, Brussels sprouts and cabbage.

hen I went to see Les Conder’s vegetable garden, I already knew he was interested in the Plant a Row for the Hungry campaign.

He and his wife Sammie, both Master Gardeners, are part of a Master Gardener committee that helps pick up extra produce and get it to the food bank. But I was still surprised when Conder acknowledged that his entire 10,000 square-foot vegetable garden was for Just Food.

“I’ve always wanted to do something for the community, and I love to garden, so it was just a natural progression for me,” Conder says.

Conder notes that he has been gardening since he was a kid but was limited by space and time before he and Sammie moved to rural Douglas County a little over a year ago.

“I had a 16-by-24 raised garden. But I had a career where I traveled, and I really just didn’t have the time to devote to it,” Conder says. “I promised myself when I retired that this was what I was going to do.”

Conder’s garden includes tomatoes, peppers, beans, English peas, potatoes, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, lettuce and carrots.

“I tried to plant things that people would want the most, like tomatoes.

They say tomatoes fly off the shelf. I don’t know what they’ll think about the Brussels or the cabbage.”

With a gardener’s experimental spirit, Conder is also trying to grow some dry beans that were a gift from a friend. He

movement in the soil, making it easier for plants to grow and get the nutrients they need.

For the deer, Conder plans to put up a fence. He is going to use a two-line electric fence system that he first saw at the K-State Research and Extension Center in Olathe. The system uses two lines at different heights, spaced a few feet apart. Because deer lack depth perception, they will try to jump but will get shocked by the second wire. Staff at the Olathe center report the fence to be highly effective.

Conder says deer were eating tomatoes off the vine last summer and munched his asparagus down to nubs.

Just past the vegetable garden are Sammie’s herb garden and cut flower garden that is waiting to be planted.

Looking at the space, I can’t help but think of the hours of enjoyment the two will have in their garden space. And so much of it will be for enjoyment by other people.

Plant a Row for the Hungry was launched by the Garden Writers Association in 1995 and is endorsed by Master Gardeners, the American Community Gardening Association, the National Gardening Association and industry professionals.

believes they are tepary beans, a drought tolerant heirloom species that looks a little like a navy bean. If they grow and produce well, the beans will be a nice less-perishable produce item.

The garden also has a few fresh herbs — parsley, rosemary and dill, and Conder also plans to plant cantaloupe and pumpkins.

Conder’s biggest challenges so far have been improving the soil and warding off wildlife. The garden is in an area that was previously pasture, and the soil has a high clay content. Last fall, Conder had his garden’s soil tested to determine pH and nutrient levels.

Following soil test recommendations, Conder added phosphorus and potassium as well as lime to raise the pH. He also secured a large amount of composted manure from a neighbor and spread it over the entire garden. Composted manure improves drainage and air

KOVEL’S ANTIQUES

Liquor cabinets have evolved depending on the custom of the time

By Terry Kovel

Drinks before or after dinner have been part of the ritual of dining in America since the 1800s. By then, the wealthy lived in houses that had a dining room, living room and perhaps a parlor or library. Men and women enjoyed “4 o’clock tea” during Victorian times, but it was usually a ladies’ gettogether. But after a dinner party, it was customary for the men to go to the library for brandy and cigars.

Drinking at home was either accepted or frowned upon at various times in past centuries. In the 1700s, alcoholic drinks were served to everyone. It was the safest thing to drink; clean water was not always available. In the years since then, there have been times when drinking was an important part of

social events and times when it was illegal. Through all of these years, furniture, decanters, glasses and other things were made to use when serving drinks. Some dining-room sideboards in the early 1800s had a closed section deep enough to hold a bottle of wine or brandy to serve at dinner. In Victorian times, bottles and glasses often were kept on a tabletop or inside a closed cabinet. Closed cabinets with hidden sections for bottles and glasses were popular after 1900. They often were made in a formal style from an earlier period. The end of Prohibition in 1933 brought whiskey out of hiding and back onto the table. By the 1950s, drinks often were served from a built-in bar in the recreation room. Special-use furniture pieces, like the cabinet bar, have

limited use today and are sometimes hard to sell. But exceptional examples by companies known for quality often sell at auction for higher than expected prices.

Q:

I have an old “Flexy” sled made by the company that made Flexible Flyer sleds. It has wheels instead of runners. I paid only $2 for it when I was a kid because it was used, and I completely wore it out riding down a street in my neighborhood. Eventually, it wound up in my mother’s basement. Years later, I was cleaning our many old pieces and found it. It had only one wheel (badly worn) and I saw it as a challenge that I might reclaim through restoration. I found wheels at Sears that fit and successfully restored it and now I

have a gem. I would like to know if the company is still in business and if the old Flexy is valuable.

A:

Samuel Leeds Allen invented a fertilizer drill and a seed drill in 1866. He later founded the S.L. Allen Co. in Philadelphia and manufactured small pieces of farm equipment. The company began making Flexible Flyers, the first steerable sleds, in 1889.

The Flexy, a wheeled sled designed for street use, was made from 1932 until the 1970s. Sleds were made in Medina, Ohio, from 1969 to 1973. Four different Flexy models were made: the Flexy Racer 100, 200, 300 and GTO. S.L. Allen Co. was sold to Leisure Group of Los Angeles in 1968. Flexy sleds sold for $5.95 to $8.50 in 1935.

The value today of a

restored sled is $150 to $175.

Q: My old cookie jar is marked “JC, NAPCO, 1957.”

It’s shaped like a blond princess wearing a yellow, green and white gown. Can you identify it for me?

A: You have a Cinderella cookie jar made by National Potteries Corp. (NAPCO) of Cleveland. The 1957 mark indicates the year the cookie jar was made. It would sell today for $100 to $200, depending on its condition. ●
