When Megan Tunget arrived at Lawrence High School, she was the “quiet girl,” the one who always had a lot to say but never raised her hand to say it.

“In a new situation, I’m really quiet. I don’t talk to anybody. I observe and figure out what is going on,” Tunget said of her first year in high school. “And, I felt really awkward in high

House approves map that puts most of Lawrence in 1st District

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — A large part of Lawrence would be included with western Kansas in the 1st Congressional District under a bill approved Saturday by the House.

The proposal was approved 64-51 with only Republican votes.

State Rep. Barbara Ballard, D-Lawrence, said the redistricting map was unfair.

“I was raised on fairness and justice and love and this is not fair, and you know it,” Ballard told House members.

House Minority Leader Paul Davis, D-Lawrence, said putting East and North Lawrence in the vast 1st, which is dominated by agriculture and stretches to the Colorado border, was illogical.

“We ought to have maps that make geographic sense,” Davis said.

But House Speaker Mike O’Neal, R-Hutchinson, defended the proposal, saying the map makes contiguous the 1st and Johnson County-based 3rd districts. That is necessary, he said, because as the 1st loses population it will have to snag population from the growing 3rd to make districts similar in size.

Lawrence is currently divided between the 2nd and 3rd congressional districts. Under the proposed map, the Kansas University campus area would be in the 2nd.

Essentially, the map would put one of the most liberal areas of the state into one of the most conservative congressional districts in the country.

State Senate leaders didn’t like the plan. And the office of U.S. Rep. Tim Huelskamp, R-Fowler, who represents the 1st District, said he opposed putting Lawrence in the 1st. Davis noted that, but O’Neal said, “One disgruntled congressman — mine — shouldn’t dictate what the Legislature should do.”

HOW THEY VOTED Here is how the Douglas County House delegation voted Saturday on a congressional redistricting map that would place a portion of Lawrence in the 1st U.S. House district: Yes None No Barbara Ballard, D-Lawrence Anthony Brown, R-Eudora Paul Davis, D-Lawrence Ann Mah, D-Topeka Tom Sloan, R-Lawrence Democrats said the Republican-dominated Legislature wanted to dilute Democratic voting strength. Earlier plans pushed by Republican leaders would have split other Democratic areas, such as east Topeka and Kansas City, Kan. The final congressional, legislative and State Board of Education redistricting maps will likely be decided in court as the Legislature has locked up on redrawing political boundaries to adjust for population changes over the past decade.

A May 29 hearing is scheduled in a federal lawsuit filed by Robyn Renee Essex, a Republican precinct committee member from Olathe, over the Legislature’s failure.

Five individuals sought permission Friday to join the lawsuit, including Davis. They contend that neither Essex nor Secretary of State Kris Kobach, the defendant, will adequately represent their interests.

The others seeking to intervene are Overland Park business leaders Benjamin Craig and Larry Winn III; former Democratic state Rep. Bill Roy Jr., of Lenexa; and Frank Beer, a Manhattan resident.

Tax cut CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

over the past decade — to a federal court.

Jones-Sontag said Brownback will have a ceremony Monday in Wichita to sign the conservative-backed tax cuts on his desk, which would be coupled with a sales tax reduction already planned for next year. The package is expected to provide $231 million in tax relief during the fiscal year that begins July 1, and the annual figure grows to $934 million in six years.

The Legislature’s research staff has projected that the cuts will lead to a budget shortfall by July 2014 and that the gap would balloon to nearly $2.5 billion by July 2018 if unchecked. But during a meeting of House Republicans, Brownback called their passage “a phenomenal accomplishment.”

“This will be a very aggressive pro-growth package,” he told reporters afterward. “For small business, which is your primary job-creating machine, this will have a very dynamic growth effect,” he said.

The Senate blocked debate Friday on a proposal to phase in the same income tax cuts awaiting Brownback’s signature.

The less aggressive plan had emerged, with the governor’s encouragement, from negotiations.

Democrats and GOP moderates in the Senate still thought it would cause budget problems, despite projections from the Legislature’s staff forecasting budget surpluses at least through mid-2018.

Jones-Sontag said Brownback’s office offered a “global” agreement for senators providing additional money for public schools and even resolving redistricting issues — if senators accepted the phased-in tax cuts that they had refused to debate Friday.

“Some of our senators tried to negotiate a less dramatic tax cut,” said Senate President Steve Morris, a moderate Hugoton Republican. “Evidently, the governor wasn’t interested.”

The next fiscal year’s budget didn’t need much more tightening, because the state expects to have adequate cash reserves to cover the more aggressive tax cuts now on Brownback’s desk. But next year, legislators would be forced to close a budget shortfall, absent the robust growth predicted by supporters of the tax cuts.

“The state is going to be facing enormous deficits during the next several years,” House Minority Leader Paul Davis, a Lawrence Democrat, said during a news conference. “Everybody who is interested in the schools and social services and the transportation program and public safety needs to prepare for very significant cuts in the next couple of years.”

For 2013, the state’s top individual income tax rate would drop to 4.9 percent from 6.45 percent. The big tax break for businesses is targeted at partnerships, sole proprietorships and other small businesses, though critics believe many large companies will take advantage. Other changes in the income tax code are part of the bill on Brownback’s desk, with some deductions and credits being reduced or eliminated.

The sales tax will drop to 5.7 percent from 6.3 percent in July 2013. Lawmakers promised the reduction two years ago when they boosted the rate to close a budget shortfall, before Brownback took office.

Bikers roar toward D.C. ————

Annual pilgrimage honors missing soldiers, POWs

By Chansi Long clong@ljworld.com

Hundreds of motorcycles will course through Lawrence via Interstate 70 on Monday morning for the annual Run for the Wall. Started in 1989, RFTW is a nationwide campaign designed to direct attention to missing soldiers and prisoners of war.

As the bikes motor by Lawrence, Bill Cassity and his wife, Nancy, will join the mission on their motorcycles.

American Legion riders, Bill and Nancy will ride among the seemingly endless stream of motorcyclists for five days, cruising to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall in Washington, D.C. An American flag will flap at the back of Bill’s bike. And emblazoned on his windshield will be a picture of Russell Dean Martin, lieutenant colonel and co-pilot of a plane that went missing in 1963.

For Bill and Nancy, the RFTW journey is a personal act done in honor of Martin. The Cassitys will visit Martin’s grave site in Arlington National Cemetery, then return an MIA bracelet to his daughter in Missouri.

Back in 1974, Bill’s mother, Dorothy Cassity, gave a donation, dipped her hand into a box filled with stainless steel bracelets and plucked one out.

On the bracelet was an engraving: Russell Dean Martin, lieutenant colonel, missing June 3, 1963. All of the bracelets had similar engravings: name, rank and date of loss.

Dorothy wore the bracelet for a while. Then

LUCAS (AP) — The wacky folks in Lucas have always been known for their keen sense of humor.

The town of 407 residents is home to the “Garden of Eden,” which features the peculiar work of S.P. Dinsmoor. He was a retired schoolteacher and Civil War veteran who sculpted 113 tons of concrete into various religious and political figures in his backyard.

In recent years, it has become known as the grass-roots art capital of Kansas, in large part because it is home to the Grassroots Art Center dedicated to 20th-century Kansas grass-roots folk art.

But now, Lucas can add one more notch in its quirky belt: The town has turned to bathroom humor and created a monument making Lucas home of the largest, most blingy toilet in Kansas.

The town has been working on its $100,000 public restroom project for the past four years, and it is almost complete.

Bids are currently being taken on eBay for the honor of a first flush, which is scheduled for 3:21 p.m. June 2 in Lucas. As of late last week, 19 bids had been received; the highest was $110.

The town has scheduled activities throughout the day on June 2, beginning at 10 a.m., to celebrate.

Martin and his crew were not found until the 1990s; they were not identified until 2004.

Last November, when Nancy and Bill made reservations to go on the RFTW, they decided to search for the Martin family.

Nancy tracked down an email address of one of Martin’s daughters and sent her a message. A couple of weeks later, the phone rang. Nancy told Martin’s daughter what they were doing: they would go to the grave to honor Martin, and they could leave the bracelet there or return it to the family.

New rules aim to reduce prison rapes

By Shaun Hittle sdhittle@ljworld.com

New regulations issued by the Obama administration Thursday could affect how Kansas prisons handle sexual assaults.

The new regulations — under development since the passage of the 2003 Prison Rape Elimination Act, or PREA — include mandatory screening, enforcement and prevention regulations designed to reduce sexual assaults by staff and other inmates in prisons nationwide.

The regulations apply to federal prisons and detention facilities. But states that don’t adopt the policies will lose portions of Department of Justice grant funds.

Kansas Department of Corrections spokesman Jan Lunsford said officials were aware of the new regulations, but did not have additional information to release about any future changes in Kansas prison operations.

The new regulations came a day after the release of a Bureau of Justice

Statistics report finding that nearly 10 percent of inmates released from correctional facilities report being sexually assaulted.

A 2010 Journal-World article into sexual assaults in Kansas prisons found there were about 120 sexual assault allegations reported annually in Kansas prisons and juvenile detention centers during a four-year period.

But less than 14 percent of those allegations — made against staff and inmates — were substantiated by prison investigations.

The PREA regulations are a welcome step, say anti-rape advocates.

“We have fought long and hard for the PREA standards,” said Lovisa Stannow, executive director of the prison rights advocacy group Just Detention International. “They have the potential to cut prisoner rape dramatically.”

Do you think part of Lawrence should be in a congressional district with much of western Kansas?

Asked on Massachusetts Street

Coral Boyd, student, Manhattan “Western Kansas is much different and can’t and shouldn’t be represented in the same way as an urban center.”

By Shaun Hittle sdhittle@ljworld.com

Haskell Indian Nations University had not notified the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics of academic violations dating back to 2008 outlined in a news release issued last week.

“We have not received a self-report,” said Kay Hawes, NAIA spokeswoman.

But Hawes said the organization was contacted

by Haskell officials recently and expects the school to file such a report.

The NAIA, which includes nearly 300 colleges, is the agency that could issue sanctions and penalties against Haskell for athletics-related academic violations.

On Tuesday, Haskell issued a news release providing vague information about a federal investigation into falsified studentathlete ACT scores at the school. The release stated that employees were “disciplined for manipulation of three other student transcripts.” Some games will be forfeited as well.

Two employees involved no longer work at Haskell, according to the release.

The information was released after repeated Journal-World requests for information beginning in early May. The JournalWorld received an anonymous letter in late April alleging a federal investigation into the basketball and football programs at Haskell and potential academic misconduct.

The news release did not specify what sports were involved, and it’s unclear how many employees were involved or how high up Haskell’s athletics hierarchy the investigation reached.

If the NAIA does take any action, it will be up to Haskell to release such information, Hawes said.

The NAIA — in contrast to the NCAA — does not release information about infractions or penalties against schools.

Haskell forfeited a Jan. 13 women’s basketball game against Southwestern Christian University, according to Haskell’s website.

The Journal-World has been in contact with Haskell officials seeking more information about the forfeited game and the other violations. But no further information has been provided, though Haskell has scheduled a Journal-World interview with Haskell President Chris Redman early this week.

The Journal-World also filed Freedom of Information Act requests with the U.S. Department of Interior for all investigations into alleged academic misconduct at Haskell since 2008.

Ted Juneau, Haskell athletic director and men’s basketball coach until 2010, said he was unaware of any investigation involving athletics and falsified ACT scores while he was at the school.

Nancy and Bill will stop to see Martin’s daughter and give her the bracelet on their way home.

“It’s very humbling to be part of this,” Bill said.

“This mission is in honor of him.”

While this RFTW journey will be the Cassity family’s first, it will likely not be their last. The family has a marked history of military service — from Navy to Marines, from World War II to the Korean War — and the RFTW event resonates with them deeply.

They’re still out there — we need to get these guys home.”

The giant toilet’s 14-foot-tall mosaic lid is up.

“Our lid is always up,” Schultz said. “This was done by volunteers and took thousands of hours to put together.”

And every wall is decorated. A chandelier made from the bottom of wine bottles is only one of the highlights.

Donations for the project have come from across the nation. All but $3,000 for the project has been raised.

“We are hoping that it floats around on the Internet as one of those weird toilets you need to see,” Schultz said. “That is our ultimate hope. We want people talking about it.”

Need-to-know information for today’s graduation ceremonies

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

What to bring Because both ceremonies are in the afternoon, schools recommend bringing sunscreen and water. And if it’s hot, sunglasses and a hat are a good idea. High temperatures are expected to be in the upper 70s to low 80s under mostly sunny skies.

When to arrive This year, Free State High School will graduate first at 1 p.m. Lawrence High School follows at 4 p.m. Both ceremonies are expected to last 90 minutes or longer.

Seniors start arriving an hour to 30 minutes before the ceremony, so people wanting a large seating area or a certain spot might consider coming early.

Where to park Each of the school’s graduations will be held at their football fields. At Free State High School, Assistant Principal Lisa Boyd said that there is plenty of parking.

However, there are a limited number of handicapped spaces in the west parking lot. There are other handicapped parking spaces in the main parking lot area and at

School’s choral director, Cathy Crispino, said.

“She is a lovely soprano.”

She’s also performed in school musicals and provided leadership in concert choir.

“I think everyone is looking for a way to express themselves. And she has a real love of music and she really does have a gift,” Crispino said.

T u n g e t attributes joining the school’s debate and forensics team with helping her find her voice.

In eighth grade, Tunget decided she was going to become a lawyer.

“It started out with me wanting to be president; I know it’s not the most realistic goal. I’ve always been interested in politics, especially law, “ Tunget said.

To prepare for her career, Tunget joined the debate and forensics team.

In her first year or so, Tunget heard the same thing from the judges after nearly every competition: She needed more confidence.

“When she first got here as a sophomore, she was a very quiet person,” LHS debate and forensic coach Jeff Plinsky said.

“What struck me on first blush, she didn’t appear to be the kind of student who would have success in debate. Typically, it’s your talkative ones who like to be out front. That’s not her. She has no real inter-

It’s for more than just talent. It’s just admiration for her security in self.”

Graves’ path to graduation hasn’t always been a secure one. Early on, her mother, counselors and teachers worried about the decisions she was making as she struggled to find her identity.

In junior high and the early part of high school, Graves said she was making childish decisions and wasn’t all that focused on graduating on time.

“I did enough to get by,” Graves said.

“By the skin of your teeth,” mom Linette Williams added.

Counselor Joel Frederick saw those low grades, but he also knew Graves had much to offer the world.

“Here was a kid who clearly had a lot going for her. She had a good support system in place, was a very engaging young woman,” Frederick said.

“She had really good things to accomplish, and we needed to make sure she finished with us.”

To keep her on track, Frederick met with Graves, pointing out the grades she needed to improve and making sure she stayed focus.

Morton, too, worried about Graves in the beginning.

“She was young and acting like she owned the place,” Morton said.

As a senior, Morton said, Graves does sort of own the place. She keeps tabs of who is in the building and what they are doing. When she speaks, the classroom quiets down. Her motto for senior year was to stay out of and rise above the drama, Morton said.

“She is running the show, and we are just participating in it,” Morton said. “But not in a bad way. She has really learned how to do that in the right way without putting people off.”

Graves is a leader on the marching band’s color guard, was nominated to the homecoming court and is someone everybody knows.

“It seems like she is in 10 of my classes, but she is only in one,” Morton said.

“She is the heart of our class. She has such a big

est in the limelight.”

During her sophomore year, Tunget had a little bit of success. That grew during her junior year, when she placed in several regional tournaments and took sixth place in the Lincoln Douglas Debate at the state speech championships.

She’s an outstanding public speaker, Plinsky said, adding that her critical thinking skills are “head and shoulders above her peers’.”

She’s also competitive.

Tunget said she liked the group of “misfits” that made up the debate and forensics team.

“Everyone was so accepting when I came to debate and forensics.

You were praised for being a weird kid,” she said.

During her senior year, Tunget continued placing high in regional tournaments and then took first place in a competition that qualified her for the National Forensic League tournament in Indianapolis this June.

It was during that national qualifying tournament that Tunget’s high school career hit another pinnacle.

When she called her mom to tell her she made it to the national tournament, her mom mentioned there was a big package that arrived from the Gates Millennium Scholars Program.

Tunget urged her mom to open the envelop, thinking since it was big it had to be good news. Inside was a letter welcoming her into the program.

“I almost started crying,

and I don’t cry,” Tunget said.

The program, which is funded through the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, picks 1,000 students every year to receive a scholarship that pays for a student’s entire four years of college. The scholarship is for minority students who have high leadership and academic potential. Tunget is onequarter American Indian.

“Shell-shocked, that’s the best description of her at that moment,” Plinsky said. “She was stunned.

And for a debater to be speechless, that gives you some idea. She just didn’t know what to say.”

She was one of 10 students in Kansas to receive the scholarship this year.

It was a huge relief for Tunget, who was raised by a single mom who’s taking college courses at Johnson County Community College herself.

“We don’t have a lot of money. And I had no idea how I was going to pay for everything,” she said.

Tunget plans on attending Kansas State University next year, and she will start saving money for law school.

When she heads off to college, she’ll take with her the lessons from that first year of high school, back when she was the quiet girl.

As a senior, she’s no longer hesitant to raise her hand, and the debate judges never tell her she needs more confidence.

“Now when I have something to say, I step up and say something,” Tunget said.

personality in there.”

Music has always been a part of Graves’ life. Her grandmother is in a gospel group in Kansas City, and Graves grew up singing in the church.

“When she sings, it is just effortless,” Williams said. “It is in her bones.”

And music has been a common theme throughout her high school career. In her junior and senior year, Graves was part of the chamber choir, a group that requires auditioning and is hard for juniors to get into. She has played the violin since sixth grade and is in the high school orchestra.

She has great pitch and good reading skills, Morton said.

“She is fearless. One of the hardest things about being a singer is you really have to put yourself out there and be vulnerable,” Morton said. “Raven doesn’t care. She is going to let it out. That is a lot of what makes her such a strong musician. She just goes for it and doesn’t freak herself out.”

Counselor Tina Mitchell knew Graves back in seventh grade, when she was on a rather bumpy road filled with dead-ends and negative consequences.

When Mitchell arrived at the high school this year, she was delighted to see what Graves had become.

“Raven is a glowing example of a young woman

that used her past choices to establish and build her future,” Mitchell wrote in a email.

Morton thinks those years of not-so-great decisions will help Graves in her future goal of becoming a teacher.

“I hope she sticks with it. We need more teachers like her,” Morton said.

“She’ll be real with the kids. She’ll form special relationships with them, but she won’t put up with their (antics).”

When Williams is asked about her daughter graduating, she tears up and notes how proud she is.

“You could talk to anybody about Raven and they will tell you she is funny, goofy, outgoing, a daredevil. Sometimes she has thought she was invincible with some stuff,” Williams said. “The change I have seen, I think, is with her accountability and being responsible.”

Next year, Graves will attend Coffeyville Community College and major in music education on a full scholarship.

As a counselor, Frederick said he has seen many students at a crossroads in their life and it’s always nice to see them go down the right path.

“We want to see everyone graduate. But for some it has been an easier journey than for others.

And the ones whose paths are not as traditional, I’m particularly glad to see walk across the stage,” Frederick said.

Admissions goal A new admissions screening process could allow KU to better serve the students it accepts.

T

he new admissions standards presented to the Kansas Board of Regents last week wouldn’t necessarily make it harder for students to get into Kansas University, but it could make it less automatic.

For students who aren’t prepared for the academic demands of a major research university, that’s not all bad. Especially with the current costs associated with attending KU, the university isn’t doing students or their families a favor by admitting them to a school where they are unlikely to be successful.

Giving Kansas high school graduates every opportunity to attend a state university has been a long-standing tradition in Kansas. For many years, a Kansas high school diploma was all that was necessary for admission to any of the state’s six universities. Since the mid1990s, Kansas students have had to meet minimal requirements for automatic admission. Unfortunately, graduation and student retention statistics indicate that too many students, from both Kansas and out of state, leave KU before completing their degrees. Raising both retention and graduation rates are important factors in boosting KU’s national rankings and prestige.

There’s no foolproof way to admit only students who will complete degrees, but KU officials are trying to improve the odds by setting higher standards for automatic admission to the university. Both in-state and out-of-state students who apply before Feb. 1 and meet the new standards, which include some combination of higher GPA and test scores, would be automatically admitted to KU for the following fall semester. All other applications would go to a review committee that would look at mitigating factors, decide which additional students could be admitted and perhaps connect those students to university services that could boost their chances of success.

That committee apparently will be busy. According to Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little, about 65 percent of current KU students would have been accepted automatically under the new standards. If that holds true in the future, it means about a third of KU applicants would be screened by the review committee before being admitted.

KU is the only state university requesting additional admissions requirements.

If the new standards are approved, the regents and KU officials need to emphasize that the goal is not to make KU more exclusive but to allow it to better serve its role as a major research university.

Each of the state’s six universities has unique strengths and should play a special role in the state’s higher education system. The same is true of community colleges, which provide a great option for students who either want or need to take an intermediate academic step before entering a four-year university.

KU’s admissions proposal drew generally favorable response last week from the Board of Regents, which is scheduled to vote on the proposal at its June meeting. It’s hard to know what impact the new standards will have on KU admissions, but the change seems like a reasonable way to try to raise student retention and graduation rates, an accomplishment that would benefit not only the university but also individual students and the state.

Government oversteps in Mass.

TEWKSBURY, MASS. — Russ Caswell, 68, is bewildered: “What country are we in?”

He and his wife, Pat, are ensnared in a Kafkaesque nightmare unfolding in Orwellian language.

This town’s police department is conniving with the federal government to circumvent Massachusetts law — which is less permissive than federal law — in order to seize his livelihood and retirement asset. In the lawsuit titled “United States of America vs. 434 Main Street, Tewksbury, Massachusetts,” the government is suing an inanimate object, the motel Caswell’s father built in 1955. The U.S. Department of Justice intends to seize it, sell it for perhaps $1.5 million and give up to 80 percent of that to the Tewksbury Police Department, whose budget is just $5.5 million. The Caswells have not been charged with, let alone convicted of, a crime. They are being persecuted by two governments eager to profit from what is antiseptically called the “equitable sharing” of the fruits of civil forfeiture, a process of government enrichment that often is indistinguishable from robbery.

The Merrimack River Valley near the New Hampshire border has had more downs than ups since the 19th century, when the nearby towns of Lowell and Lawrence

George Will

“

This town’s police department is conniving with the federal government … to seize his livelihood and retirement asset.” were centers of America’s textile industry. In the 1960s, the area briefly enjoyed a high-tech boom. Caswell’s “budget” motel, too, has seen better days. In its sixth decade the motel hosts tourists, some workers on extended stays and some elderly people who call it home. The 56 rooms rent for $56 a night or $285 a week.

Since 1994, about 30 motel customers have been arrested on drug dealing charges.

Even if those police figures are accurate — the police have a substantial monetary incentive to exaggerate — these 30 episodes involved less than five one-hundredths of 1 percent of the 125,000 rooms Caswell has rented over those more than 6,700 days. Yet this is the govern-

ment’s excuse for impoverishing the Caswells by seizing this property, which is their only significant source of income and all of their retirement security.

The government says the rooms were used to “facilitate” a crime. It does not say the Caswells knew or even that they were supposed to know what was going on in all their rooms all the time. Civil forfeiture law treats citizens worse than criminals, requiring them to prove their innocence — to prove they did everything possible to prevent those rare crimes from occurring in a few of those rooms. What counts as possible remains vague. The Caswells voluntarily installed security cameras, they photocopy customers’ identifications and record their license plates, and turn the information over to the police, who have never asked the Caswells to do more.

The Caswells are represented by the Institute for Justice, a libertarian publicinterest law firm. IJ explains that civil forfeiture is a proceeding in which property is said to have acted wrongly.

This was useful long ago against pirates, who might be out of reach but whose illgotten gains could be seized.

The Caswells, however, are not pirates.

Rather, they are victims of two piratical governments that, IJ argues, are violating the U.S. Constitution twice.

They are violating the Eighth Amendment, which has been construed to forbid “excessive fines” that deprive individuals of their livelihoods.

And the federal “equitable sharing” program violates the 10th Amendment by vitiating state law, thereby enabling Congress to compel the states to adopt Congress’ policies where states possess a reserved power and primary authority — in the definition and enforcement of the criminal law.

“Equitable sharing” — the consensual splitting of ill-gotten loot by the looters — reeks of the moral hazard that exists in situations in which incentives are for perverse behavior. To see where this leads, read IJ’s scalding report “Policing for Profit: The Abuse of Civil Asset Forfeiture” (http:// ow.ly/aYME1), a sickening litany of law enforcement agencies padding their budgets and financing boondoggles by, for example, smelling, or imagining to smell, or pretending to smell, marijuana in cars they covet.

None of this is surprising to Madisonians, which all sensible Americans are. James Madison warned (in Federalist 48) that government power “is of an encroaching nature.” If unresisted, it produces iniquitous sharing of other people’s property.

PUBLIC FORUM

Outlandish view

Anti-crime also anti-justice So the people got sick of it, all those criminals being coddled by all those bleeding heart liberal judges with all their soft-headed concern for rights and rehabilitation. And a wave swept this country in the Reagan years, a wave ridden by pundits and politicians seeking power, a wave that said, no mercy, no more. From now on, judges would be severely limited in the sentences they could hand down for certain crimes, required to impose certain punishments whether or not they thought those punishments fit the circumstances at hand. From now on, there was a new mantra in American justice. From now on, we would be “tough on crime.”

We got tough on Jerry DeWayne Williams, a smalltime criminal who stole a slice of pizza from a group of children. He got 25 years.

We got tough on Duane Silva, a guy with an IQ of 71 who stole a VCR and a coin collection. He got 30 to life.

We got tough on Dixie Shanahan, who shot and killed the husband who had beaten her for three days straight, punching her in the face, pounding her in the stomach, dragging her by the hair, because she refused to have an abortion.

She got 50 years.

We got tough on Jeff Berryhill, who got drunk one night, kicked in an apartment door and punched a guy who was inside with Berryhill’s girlfriend. He got 25 years.

Now, we have gotten tough on Marissa Alexander. She is the Jacksonville, Fla., woman who said her husband flew into a violent rage and tried to

Leonard Pitts Jr.

strangle her when he found text messages to her first husband on her phone. She said she fled to her car, but in her haste, forgot her keys. She took a pistol from the garage and returned to the house for them. When her husband came after her again, she fired — into the ceiling. The warning shot made him back off. No one was hurt.

Like Shanahan before her, Alexander was offered a plea bargain. Like Shanahan, she declined, reasoning that no one would convict her under the circumstances. Like Shanahan, she was wrong.

Earlier this month, Alexander got 20 years for aggravated assault. And like Shanahan, like Berryhill, Williams, Silva and Lord only knows how many others, she received that outlandish sentence not because the judge had a heart like Simon LeGree’s, but because he was constrained by so-called “mandatory-minimum” sentencing guidelines that tie

judges’ hands, allow them no leeway for consideration, compassion, context or common sense. In other words, they prohibit judges from judging.

Charles Smith, the judge who sent Shanahan away, put it best. He said the sentence he was required to impose “may be legal, but it is wrong.” Amen.

The Eighth Amendment prohibits “cruel and unusual punishment.” In a nation where we execute people based on no evidence save eyewitness testimony, it is hard to imagine what meaning that prohibition still holds. But assuming it means anything, surely it means you can’t draw a 20-year sentence for shooting a ceiling.

Except that Alexander just did.

In restricting judges from judging, we have instituted a one-size-fits-all version of justice that bears little resemblance to the real thing. It proceeds from the same misguided thinking that produced the absurd “zero tolerance” school drug policies that routinely get children suspended for bringing aspirin and Midol to class.

In both cases, there is this silly idea that by requiring robotic adherence to inflexible rules we will produce desirable results.

By now, it should be obvious how wrongheaded and costly that reasoning was — and how urgently we need to roll back the wave that swept over us in the Reagan years. It is understandable that the nation wanted to get tough on crime.

But we have been rather hard on justice, too.

— Leonard Pitts Jr. is a columnist for the Miami Herald.

To the editor: Of all the outlandish pieces to grace the editorial column of the Journal-World over past years, one of the most bizarre appeared in the May 14 issue, entitled “Overreacting.”

Here, the writer dishes up a defense of certain varieties of student hazing as “harmless acts” in the spirit of Gaudeamus Igitur, old times’ sake or just plain “fun.” He mercifully excludes the more sadistic and demeaning forms of hazing from the approval rating, but says it’s OK for kids to litter the homeowner’s premises with toilet paper and deface his car with greasepaint. One wonders what other forms of “harmless” vandalism might pass muster under the writer’s indulgent eye. Can freshman beanies, nightshirt parades and consensual panty raids be far behind?

There are a lot more pressing issues affecting Lawrence that should occupy the hometown paper. We have a fiscal crisis, the intrusion of predatory corporate interests into our neighborhoods, a governor and Legislature trying to turn our state into a vaudeville parody of Spain under Franco. The city and university are collaborating to curb the abuses of “party houses” where fun-loving students raise their antics to new heights of harm and annoyance. These are compelling issues worthy of residents’ concern and the editorialist’s attention.

More appropriate is a statement I remember from my own youth, made by a deacon responsible for hiring a new youth director for our church. “We need someone young enough to know what the kids like to do and old enough to make sure they don’t do it.”

CLASS 6A STATE SWIMMING Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

City stars on track to reach greatness More than just the athletes exercised Friday night during the track and field 6A regional at Free State High.

Searching for Firebirds senior Kain Anderson on the infield of the track was an exercise as well — an exercise in frustration. Shifting the search party to the track itself made far more sense.

Anderson’s bottomless gas tank fueled him through four events in which he showcased his versatility, earned a spot in the state meet in all four and threw more kindling wood on a couple of burning questions.

Are we watching an athlete who will cross the barrier of what for more than a half-century has been the sport’s most recognizable milestone? Will he one day run a sub-four-minute mile?

If the answer is yes, then so too will be the response to another: Did Kansas University make a mistake in taking Anderson’s free books away from him?

Anderson Anderson wanted to run for his hometown university. When he ran the mile in the KU Relays he was thrilled with more than his performance.

He felt honored because the man who shot the starter gun for the race was none other than the event’s most famous runner of all-time, KU’s own Jim Ryun.

Other track programs offered to pay for more than just his books, but that’s all it took for Anderson to make up his mind that he would pursue his dream of wearing the uniform Ryun, Wes Santee, Billy Mills, and Glenn Cunningham wore.

Anderson went about informing interested parties the right way. He called the Wichita State coach and let him know that he greatly appreciated the offer, but he wouldn’t be able to accept it because he had chosen to stay at home and run for the school so rich in mile history. And then he called the Kansas coach to let him know he was ready to crack those free books and hit the track hard every day. That, Anderson said, is when he learned the money that had been set aside for his books had allocated elsewhere.

Anderson said he would need a few days to think about it. He had to weigh whether he still wanted to join a program that didn’t appear to want him as badly as he wanted to be a part of it.

“That’s when the Wichita coach actually called me back,” Anderson said, “and was like, ‘Hey, I see you haven’t signed anywhere.

What’s the deal? ... We’re still interested. We still have scholarship money for you.

What do you say?’”

It wasn’t a full scholarship. With so many athletes needed for so many events and so little money to spread around, full rides are rare in track and field. But it was more than just books.

“I thought, ‘The money’s nice. I love the guys on the team there. I love the coach.’

I didn’t see anything wrong with it,” Anderson said.

Individual champions celebrate success as Firebirds finish sixth, Lions seventh

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Straight-faced, almost somber upon winning Class 6A state championships in two races Saturday afternoon at Capitol Federal Natatorium, Free State High freshman swimmer Courtney Caldwell finally allowed herself to relax and enjoy herself once she completed the final event of the meet.

Caldwell and Firebirds teammates Eliza Anderson, Morgan Miller and Lucy Sirimongkhon-Dyck had just finished fourth in the 400 free relay, but they celebrated as if it meant the world to them, embracing for a group hug, smiles stretching across each of their faces.

“We had a goal and we definitely achieved it,” Caldwell said. “We just wanted to maintain our sixth-place spot (in team points). I just felt so relieved that we did. It was a good feeling.”

Free State had no chance of catching 6A state champion Shawnee Mission East in points. Holding off rival Lawrence High, which entered the final event in seventh place, 14

“

We had a goal and we definitely achieved it. We just wanted to maintain our sixth-place spot (in team points). I just felt so relieved that we did.”

— Free State freshman swimmer Courtney Caldwell points behind FSHS, quickly became the ultimate goal.

Considering the margin, it would have taken a Firebirds collapse in the final relay for the Lions to surpass them.

But the FSHS swimmers, Sirimongkhon-Dyck said, were leaving nothing to chance after their 200 free relay team had a ninth-place finish in the consolation final wiped out due to disqualification.

“We really wanted to come back and get this,” she said after FSHS finished two spots ahead of Lawrence in the 400 free relay, noting that Miller’s best split of the season (58.06 seconds) made that possible.

It was after the relay that Caldwell allowed herself to stop “freaking out” with nervousness.

“It’s not setting in until now,” she said of her gold medals in the 50 free (23.7) and 100 free (51.37).

LHS, which finished seventh overall, stayed close to its rival with the help of its two leaders. Sophomore Gretchen Frick won the state title in the 200 IM (2:08.64) and took third in the 500 free, while junior Heather Cistola was runner-up in the 100 fly and third in the 200 free.

Like Caldwell, Frick and Cistola were named first team all-state.

Said Frick: “I think it’s really exciting that both of us got it, because Lawrence High is seen as the underdog in Lawrence.”

Frick’s 200 IM time beat the LHS record she set the day before at prelims by 1.63 seconds.

“It was really exciting,” she said, “especially since I was seeded first and I knew everyone was gonna be chasing me.”

Cistola’s goal for the finals was to improve upon her prelim finishes. She dropped a few tenths of a second off her time in both individual races.

‘Another’ crowned Preakness winner The Associated Press

BALTIMORE — I’ll Have Another had Bodemeister in his sights again, a shot at the Triple Crown hanging in the balance.

Two weeks ago, he ran down his rival and won the Kentucky Derby. This time, the chestnut colt needed to be even more relentless to win the Preakness.

Jockey Mario Gutierrez asked for more at the top of the stretch, and I’ll Have Another closed the gap with each stride, finally surging past Bodemeister a few yards from the wire.

Next up: New York and the Belmont Stakes in three weeks and a chance to join the company of Secretariat, Seattle Slew and Affirmed, who was the last to win thoroughbred racing’s most coveted prize in 1978.

That’s heady company for a colt who has yet to be favored in any of his seven races. That should change in the Belmont.

“We’re thinking Triple Crown, baby,” elated winning trainer Doug O’Neill said. “He’s a special horse.

We’ll see how he comes out of it, and if he comes out of it in good shape, we’re heading to New York, baby.”

I’ll Have Another won by 1 1/2 lengths in the Derby and by a neck in the Preakness — the same margins Affirmed posted in wins over rival Alydar in those two races 34 years ago.

Seahawks medal, team fifth in state debut

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Prior to this season, Bishop Seabury Academy didn’t have a girls swimming program.

The Seahawks picked a good time to start one.

On the strength of a gold medal performance in the 200 medley relay and a pair of state championships for sophomore Phoebe Grabill, Seabury capped its first year of existence as the fifth-best team in the state Saturday at the Class 5-1A state championships.

Grabill took first place in the 100 fly (59.15 seconds) and 500 free (5:10.95) and swam with sister Reese Edwards, Maddie McCaffrey and Elizabeth Padgett on Seabury’s 200 medley championship team at Capitol Federal Natatorium.

The sophomore said none of it would have been possible without her older sister Please see TRACK, page 3B Edwards, a senior, and their

mother, Megan. The sisters, who became accomplished swimmers with the Lawrence Aquahawks club, have swum since each was 5 years old. They first talked with their mother last year about how exciting it would be to swim on a high school team.

The idea picked up steam this past fall when Grabill ran for Seabury’s 1A state championship cross country team.

Edwards and her mother spearheaded the effort, letting Seabury athletic director Eric Nelson know they wanted to start a program and recruiting Seabury students with swimming experience.

There also was the matter of finding a coach. Reese, who took fourth in the 200 IM and fifth in the 100 back, said Dave Brunfeldt was gracious in filling that role.

The team’s coach, though, Stephen Montemayor/Journal-World Photo said all he does is carry a clipboard and take care of SEABURY ACADEMY’S 200-YARD MEDLEY RELAY TEAM CELEBRATES after winning the 5-1A state final on Saturday in Topeka. The team of Reese paperwork.

Johnson cruises to All-Star title CONCORD, N.C. (AP) — Jimmie Johnson used a calculated strategy Saturday night to win NASCAR’s All-Star race and its $1 million prize for the third time in his career.

The five-time champion won the first 20-lap segment of the Sprint All-Star race, then rode around at the back of the field

for the next 60 laps around Charlotte Motor Speedway. His plan was to stay out of trouble, and make his play for the win in the fifth and final segment.

The new format this year set it up so that the winners of the first four segments would be the first four drivers down pit road for a mandatory stop before the

10-lap sprint to the finish. Johnson’s win in the first segment meant he was guaranteed to be the first driver down pit road, and he had the first stall — the reward for his No. 48 Hendrick Motorsports team winning Thursday night’s Pit Crew Competition.

The race was then just to beat

The true threat to the NFL isn’t the sorrowful headlines of another former player’s life ending far too early or the suspicions of craftily articulated bounties against opposing players spreading much further than the New Orleans Saints.

The real danger is what happens 10 years from now.

It’s when today’s 13-year-old athletic prodigy opts against concentrating on football and shifts his attentions toward basketball or baseball. Or his parents insist upon it.

The NFL will tap into fewer and fewer of that pool of exquisite athleticism as time marches on through the subsequent lawsuits, the potentially billions of dollars in liability settlements and, most tragically, the sad deaths of more former NFL players because of the possible residual effects of footballinduced physical trauma.

What happens when the next Calvin Johnson figures he can make more money and enjoy a much healthier post-career life as a levitating 6-foot-5 NBA small forward or a power-stroking major league right fielder?

What happens if NFL teams become uninsurable because of the flood of litigation in the coming years? Will playing the game in the future require players signing some form of liability waiver stating they clearly understand the enormity of the physical risks attached to the sport?

Will the league have no alternative but changing its rules in an effort to “slow down� the collisions and, it hopes, reduce the blunt-force trauma, specifically to the head?

If so, then you can wave good-bye to the NFL that became so immensely popular, powerful and profitable because it was controlled violence. It bordered on the reckless. That’s what makes it so alluring to so many.

We try making football more complicated than it actually is.

It’s really simple: See that guy over there with the ball. Separate it from him by any means necessary.

The NFL’s image problem isn’t as easily correctable as learning how to tackle properly. Football is about a player’s brain fooling his body into believing that it’s perfectly normal behavior repeatedly running into a brick wall.

Chortle all you wish, but there’s no guarantee the NFL will still reign as the undisputed entertainment giant in another 10 years. Like the players, the business of bigtime football isn’t indestructible.

The athletically gifted with choices in sports will choose something else.

INDYCAR DRIVER RYAN BRISCOE, LEFT, CELEBRATES WINNING the pole with teammate Helio Castroneves on the first day of qualifications for the Indianapolis 500 on Saturday in Indianapolis.

Briscoe takes pole, barely, for Indianapolis 500 INDIANAPOLIS — Roger Penske’s strategy beat Michael Andretti by inches Saturday — 9.168 inches to be exact.

In the closest pole duel in Indianapolis 500 history, Team Penske sent points leader Will Power onto the track with two minutes left in the Pole Day shootout — a shrewd move that prevented three Andretti drivers from taking one last shot at the pole and preserving it for his own guy, Ryan Briscoe.

It was a remarkable finish to a wild afternoon.

Briscoe was the surprise winner of his first Indy pole with a four-lap average of 226.484 mph. He completed the 10-mile qualification run .0023 seconds quicker than James Hinchcliffe.

The previous record was set in 1970 when Al Unser defeated Johnny Rutherford by .01 seconds over the four-lap qualifying run. “My name will go down forever for something that I won here at the Indy 500,� Briscoe said.

It will go straight into the record book.

How close was the battle?

Everybody seemed to have an explanation.

When Hinchcliffe left the postrace news conference, Briscoe held his fingers about an inch apart and explained it was that close.

Hinchcliffe already knew better. “It’s a gust of wind, it’s a shadow over a part of the track,� Hinchcliffe said, before holding up his name card and explaining that was the distance. “I’m going to lose a little bit of sleep at how small the margin was to Ryan.�

Eventually a series spokesman came in and blurted out the actual distance to the the thousandth of an inch.

Nobody knows how to play this game better than Penske, and he proved it again Saturday.

The iconic racing owner has now won five of the last seven poles at Indy and extended his own Indy record to 17 poles. Briscoe is the 11th driver to win a pole for The Captain, and it comes one week before Penske celebrates the 40th anniversary of his first career Indy win 1972.

As usual, he didn’t rely on conventional wisdom.

Penske’s three drivers — Briscoe, three-time Indy winner Helio Castroneves and Power, the points leader — spent most of this week just trying to crack the top 10 of the speed charts.

Clark finished his career as the school’s second all-time leading rusher with 3,594 yards. He was selected to the Mountain West Conference second-team squad last season.

He was excluded from the Falcons’ trip to the White House last month as they received the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy from President Barack Obama.

TENNIS

Djokovic, Nadal reach final ROME — Top-ranked Novak Djokovic edged Roger Federer on Saturday to set up another meeting with rival Rafael Nadal in the Italian Open final.

The defending champion at the Foro Italico, Djokovic beat Federer, 6-2, 7-6 (4). Five-time winner Nadal eliminated fellow Spaniard David Ferrer, 7-6 (6), 6-0, in the other semifinal.

The French Open, the only Grand Slam Djokovic didn’t win last year, begins next weekend.

Maria Sharapova defeated rising German player Angelique Kerber, 6-3, 6-4, and will defend her title against French Open champion Li Na. The Chinese player advanced after Serena Williams withdrew shortly before their semifinal because of a lower back injury.

SOCCER

Sporting Kansas City ties

COMMERCE CITY, COLO. — Tyrone Marshall and Kosuke Kimura scored in the second half to give the Colorado Rapids a 2-2 tie with Sporting Kansas City on Saturday night.

Teal Bunbury scored twice for Kansas City (7-3-1) for his third career two-goal game.

Colorado is 5-6-1 overall and 1-2-1 in its last four games. The Rapids played without Omar Cummings, who missed his third game because of a sprained left ankle.

Sporting, winless in Colorado since 2004, is 0-3-1 in its last four games.

The teams played to 1-1 ties in their three previous regular-season meetings.

Marshall cut Kansas City’s lead to 2-1 in the 52nd minute with his first goal of the season.

Marshall pushed a header past Nielsen after receiving a deep pass from Martin Rivero.

SEABURY ACADEMY FANS CELEBRATE after sophomore Phoebe Grabill won the 100yard butterfly at the 5A-1A state meet on Saturday in Topeka.

Seabury CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

“Frankly, Reese Edwards is the coach in the pool,” Brunfeldt said with a smile. “They basically all coach themselves.”

The approach worked great. Elizabeth Padgett took fifth in the 50 free and ninth in the 100 free, McCaffrey finished seventh

in the 100 fly and 11th in the 200 IM. Plus, Seabury’s 400 free relay team of Edwards, Emilie Padgett, Elizabeth Padgett and Grabill took fifth place.

Grabill was named first team all-state, while Edwards and Elizabeth Padgett made the second team.

Edwards took pride in establishing the new program and helping it finish fifth (Blue Valley won the 5-1A state title).

“It was so much fun, and I love every single girl on our team and they’ve all put so much into this,” Edwards said. “Hopefully, next year they’ll come back, move up a few spots.”

Most of all, she was happy her sister gets two more chances to add to her state championship medal count. !

Sirimongkhon-Dyck, Kat LaFever, McCurdy and Caldwell placed sixth in the 200 medley relay.

“I am so proud of everyone on my team,” Caldwell said. “They stepped it up ridiculous amounts.” !

Free State soccer to face O-East

Track CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

“I’m excited. Wichita’s going to be a very good place for me. It actually worked out to be better, and I’m excited.”

It got even better for Anderson when he ran a 4:16.70 mile, after which the Shockers coach called and told him he had just added $1,000 to the scholarship.

“It’s the fastest time in the state right now,” Anderson said. “I can’t even tell you what that’s been like for me to do. It’s a really cool thing to be able to do, to have the fastest mile time in the state.”

He knows he’s in for stiff competition at the state meet in Wichita. Jeremy Bryan of Blue Valley West (4:17.35), Sam Guinn of Blue Valley Northwest (4:17.88) and Shawnee Mission West’s Jonah Heng (4:18.43) all are right there with Anderson.

Anderson, like Ryun, finishes races with a trademark kick and has received tips from Free State coach Steve Heffernan, a former KU miler, on when to put the pedal to the metal.

“Heff’s always said, 300, go, that’s always been his thing,” Anderson said. “That’s what he’s taught us, and that’s what I’ve always kept in my head. That, and when I’m feeling good, go for it.”

When an athlete breaks from the norm and performs better than ever, it’s usually a sign of how well he knows himself, how confident he has become, and it often signals a beginning of strong improvement, rather than an end.

That’s what Anderson did when he ran the mile faster than any Kansas prep runner has this season.

“When I ran that 4:16, actually I led the whole thing,” Anderson said.

“That’s something I’ve never done. I’m always one to hang back in the pack and in the last second I have that kick.”

With so much speed in the state mile, it’s nice for Anderson to know that he has shown more than one way to approach the four laps with success.

“In the state, I think it’s going to be fast from the start,” Anderson said. “I think I’m going to have to hang in there from the start. We’re all going to have to do that. I’m going to have to be kicking from the start. It’s just going to be that fast.”

In qualifying in state in the metric versions of the quarter mile (a leg in a relay), the half-mile, the mile and the two-mile, Anderson showcased all the necessary ingredients, from speed to strength and stamina to competitive drive, required

Taking second in the 100 fly (Shawnee Mission South’s Paige Meredith won in 58.75), Cistola added, was unexpected.

The last chance she had to glance at the lanes around her, she thought “everybody” was in front of her.

A strong finish made up the difference.

“I had no idea,” she said of her come-from-behind push. “I could not see anybody. I was so focused on just trying to place well for my team and get us points.”

Frick and Cistola teamed with Miranda Rohn and Annie Odrowski to take third in the 200 medley relay. The same group finished sixth in the 400 free relay. Rohn, named second team allstate, took sixth in the 100 back and ninth in the 100 fly, winning the consolation final. Odrowski was 12th in the 500 free and 16th in the 200 IM.

FREE STATE’S ALEXA HARMON-THOMAS COMPETES in the prelims of the 100-meter hurdles during a Class 6A regional meet on Friday at FSHS.

LAWRENCE HIGH’S BLAKE HOCKING MAKES A RELEASE in the shot put at the Class 6A regional meet on Friday at Free State. to make a realistic run at sub-four mile at some point in his college career. With each second pared from a personal best, the next second becomes tougher to clip, but with just a sliver more than four seconds of improvement for each lap needed, Anderson has entered the realm where it has become a tough but realistic goal.

“I’m not going to lie,” Anderson said, “I’ve definitely thought about it.

It’s becoming more like, ‘Hey, anything’s possible.’

The faster I run, the more I feel like, ‘A 4:16, hey, the four-minute mile is around the corner.’ I’m excited to run at Wichita State next year and see where that takes me. I know I’m going to get faster.”

Getting faster in her races, higher or longer on her jumps, is a path from which Free State sophomore Alexa HarmonThomas never veers, a path that in time could lead her all the way to competing in the Olympic Games in the heptathlon.

Nothing about the way Harmon-Thomas interacts with teammates and carries herself from one event to the next indicates she thinks she’s better than the rest, even though, in fact, she is. Her polish and poise belie her youth, as do her times and distances. She floats into the long-jump pit and over the hurdles, so precisely repeating her steps between them, and explodes over the highjump bar. For an athlete with such quiet body

language, she draws the attention of an audience that naturally zeroes in on her powerful and relentless pursuits.

Nothing about the regional meet ranked as more predictable than the objects thrown by Lawrence High senior Blake Hocking waving goodbye to the divots other competitors made. Hocking, of course, obliterated all comers in the shot put and discus, thanks to his sweat in the weight room, attention to detail in practicing technique and natural strength.

As long as Jack Hood coaches track and field at Lawrence High, the Lions will have accomplished throwers, although Hood might never coach another as good as Hocking.

The city showcased serious speed, too, with Gari Jones of LHS winning the 100, DayShawn Berndt of Free State the 200 and 400.

For the Firebirds, Bailey Sullivan looked comfortable running both longer and shorter events than the 800, thus far her best event, and showed the difference between a talented freshman and a sophomore who has shaken any tentativeness and drives hard for the finish line.

The night also served as a reminder that the city did the right thing in building on-campus stadiums that have a cozy, retro feel to them, rather than a district stadium that might have amounted to a concrete monument to keeping up with the Joneses.

The regional champion Free State girls soccer team earned a No. 4 seed in next week’s Class 6A state quarterfinals and will face top-seeded Olathe East.

The Firebirds (12-4-2) will take on the undefeated Hawks at 7 p.m on Tuesday at the College Boulevard Activities Center in Olathe.

Free State lost, 5-0, to O-East on May 1 at FSHS.

THE KANSAS JAYHAWKS AND THE MISSOURI TIGERS SHAKE HANDS after the Tigers’ 6-3 win over KU on Saturday at Hoglund Ballpark. Saturday’s game was the last game in the Kansas and Missouri baseball series, as the Tigers are leaving the Big 12 after this year to join the Southeastern Conference.

Jayhawks lose battle, win final Border War

By Matt Tait

“

I’ve never seen a rivalry as intense as 121 this one.”

mtait@ljworld.com

Saturday, nearly years after Kansas University kicked it off with a 22-10 football victory over arch-rival Missouri in 1891, the historic Border War series between KU and Mizzou ended at KU’s Hoglund Ballpark with a 6-3 victory for Missouri’s baseball team and a rather calm and cordial exchange of handshakes.

For the rest of time, or at least until they meet again somewhere, somehow, in some sport, KU supporters will spin it as the Jayhawks (22-32 overall, 7-16 Big 12) winning the final series between the two bitter rivals. At the same time, MU fans likely will point out that the Tigers won the final game. Maybe it’s not dead after all.

Following Saturday’s victory, Mizzou coach Tim Jamieson told reporters that he hoped the Tigers and Jayhawks could find a way to continue the Border War in the future by scheduling a mid-week, non-conference game.

“That’s something we’d be very open to in the future,” KU coach Ritch Price said. “I’m on record as saying it’s sad that this series is ending. We wanted to continue the (midweek) series at Kauffman Stadium this year, but they canceled it.”

Now, the only way the two will meet again in any sport in the future is if they meet in the postseason or if one side or the other decides to make all the talk of potential match-ups a reality.

With both teams headed to Oklahoma City next week, that potentially distant meeting could come sooner than later. The

— Kansas University baseball coach Ritch Price Jayhawks will be the No. 7 seed and Mizzou will be seeded sixth. While that storyline adds a little drama to the whole thing, Price was more concerned with discussing just how important making the tournament was for his young ballclub.

“We need the experience of going to Brick Town for this team to continue to grow,” he said.

“Obviously, it was a positive weekend, winning the series. We would’ve liked to finish it off with a sweep today, but they pitched better than we did and they swung the bats much better than they did the first two days.”

After playing nearly flawless baseball for the first two games of the series and earning the two victories they needed to qualify for next week’s Big 12 tournament, the Jayhawks suffered a letdown early on Saturday.

An error allowed the Tigers to plate two runs in the top of the first inning, and MU added two more in the third to build a 4-0 lead. Just as it did during the first two games of the series, the early lead held up and the Tigers (28-26, 10-14) walked away with a victory as a few MU fans in the stands chanted “SE-C, S-E-C” on their way out.

Despite falling behind early, the Jayhawks did not lay down. Michael Suiter polished off his solid series with a solo home run in the fifth to get KU on the board and Kevin

Kuntz and James Stanfield followed with RBIs during KU’s three-run fifth.

“From down four to down by one, that gave us a huge confidence boost and we took over the momentum,” Stanfield said.

Added Price: “I thought we were right back in it at that point. But any time you cut the deficit to one, your starter can’t go back out there and give ‘em the run back and we did that.”

Mizzou added a run in the sixth and another in the seventh to put the finishing touches on the game and the historic series.

“I’ve never seen a rivalry as intense as this one,” Price said.

Tax forms reveal Weis’ Notre Dame buyout

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

We knew all along that current Kansas University football coach Charlie Weis had been paid by his former employer to go away.

But now we know how much N o t r e D a m e paid him.

According to an article that Weis ran in the Chicago Tribune earlier this week, Weis has received nearly $8.7 million dollars from Notre Dame since being fired in 2009, and is in line to continue receiving compensation through 2015.

Weis’ buyout from Notre Dame could total as much as $19 million by then.

Weis’ compensation included an initial amount of more than $6.6 million after his firing and payments totaling a little more than $2 million from July 2010 through June 2011.

The Tribune gained access to the financial numbers through a request for Form 990 that Notre Dame was required to submit to the Internal Revenue Service.

Weis, who spent one season as the offensive coordinator of the Kansas City Chiefs and another as the offensive coordinator at Florida, was hired by KU in December 2011 at a salary of $2.5 million per year, plus incentives, for five years.

Six on preseason list Six KU players were named to college football analyst Phil Steele’s preseason All-Big 12 squads earlier this week.

Senior safety Bradley McDougald, senior defensive end Toben Opurum and senior tight end Mike Ragone, a fifth-year transfer from Notre Dame, all were named to Steele’s third team.

Senior offensive linemen Tanner Hawkinson and Duane Zlatnik were named to the fourth team, where they were joined by junior linebacker Darius Willis.

ESPN praises Pierson Sophomore running back Tony Pierson was one of seven Big 12 players named to ESPN.com Big 12 football writer Da-

vid Ubben’s list of “spring breakout players.”

Pierson, whose 141 rushing yards and blazing-fast 88-yard touchdown trot highlighted KU’s spring game in late April, appears to be in line for more touches, both on the ground and in the passing game, as a follow-up to his solid freshman campaign.

Of Pierson, Ubben wrote: “Pierson made a small impact last season, but he’s essentially the unquestioned starter at KU for now after Darrian Miller was kicked off the team and James Sims was suspended for the first three games of 2012. The East St. Louis native is dangerous in the open field and gives KU a much-needed home-run threat.”

Weis the baseball fan Just a couple of weeks after presenting New York center fielder Curtis Granderson with some KU gear out at Kauffman Stadium while watching the Kansas City Royals take on the Yankees, the KU football coach made a spirited appearance at Game 2 of KU’s three-game series with arch-rival Missouri over the weekend.

The Jayhawks, who took two of three from the Tigers, won Friday’s game, 6-3, and clinched a spot in next week’s Big 12 tournament in Oklahoma.

Weis sat outside with other KU officials on the baseball terrace of the McCarthy Family Clubhouse, and was on his feet for the top of the ninth when the Jayhawks sealed the victory.

SPURS 96, CLIPPERS 86

San Antonio overcomes 24-point deficit LOS ANGELES (AP) — Nothing was going to rattle the calm, cool and collected Spurs. Not even a 24-point deficit.

Tim Duncan scored 19 points, helping engineer a defining 24-0 run in the third quarter, and San Antonio defeated the Los Angeles Clippers, 96-86, on Saturday to take a commanding 3-0 lead in their second-round playoff series.

“We didn’t plan on being down that much,” said Duncan, who at 36 is hungry to win the team’s fifth NBA championship and first since 2006-07. “We stuck with it.”

Led by Tony Parker’s 23 points and his defense on an ailing Chris Paul, the Spurs kept running their plays even as Blake Griffin’s early offensive assault buried them in a huge hole.

Griffin missed three shots in the first half, when he scored 20 points and carried his team to a 24-point lead despite a left hip injury and a sprained right knee.

“They came out like we expected, very strong.

Blake was making crazy shots,” Parker said. “We just took our time. It’s a long game, a very long game. At halftime, we were very calm.”

Griffin had 28 points and 16 rebounds, and reserve Mo Williams added 19 points for the Clippers, who face some daunting NBA history heading into Game 4 on Sunday at Staples Center. No team

“If we don’t play with that sense of urgency, it’s not going to be pretty,” Griffin said.

Rookie Kawhi Leonard added 14 points and Manu Ginobili 13 to help the topseeded Spurs win their 17th in a row and improve to 7-0 in the playoffs.

“We all struggled in the first quarter. We didn’t feel right out there,” said Duncan, who like his teammates, looked to Parker to pick the team up.

“We follow his lead.

He stuck with it, made some big shots down the stretch and continued to attack,” Duncan said. “He was playing defense really hard and got up into Chris.”

Besides Parker, the Spurs threw two other defenders at Paul. He finished with 12 points and 11 assists after two previous sub-par efforts in the series.

“Tony really ran the show well,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. “I’d say, ‘Let’s do this’ and he

said, ‘No, let’s do this,’ and we’d do it.”

After a quiet first half in which he scored eight points, Duncan helped the Spurs control the third quarter when they outscored Los Angeles 26-8.

The Spurs took their first lead during the 24-0 run on a fadeaway jumper

by Duncan, who scored nine points in the outburst that put them ahead for good. Danny Green added seven and Leonard five.

“We kept telling Kawhi and Danny to stay calm,” Parker said.

The Clippers’ defense completely faltered and they piled up miss after miss on the offensive end.

“When they spread the floor and Tim Duncan runs a high pick-androll, it’s trouble for a lot of teams,” Griffin said.

“That’s basically what killed us in the third. This is what they do best.”

The Clippers scored the final four points of the third, which ended with a turnover by Williams, to trail 69-61 heading into the fourth.

“You knew they were

Wade, Heat move on following spat INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Refreshed in body and spirit, the Miami Heat returned to practice reunited and refocused.

There was no looking back. No heartfelt apologies given. No need for a detailed autopsy of Dwyane Wade’s ugly sideline exchange with coach Eric Spoelstra in Game 3.

What’s done is done.

All that’s for another day.

Right now, it’s time to save the season.

“We move on,” Wade said.

Down 2-1 in the Eastern Conference semifinals to the ready-to-rumble Indiana Pacers, the Heat were back on the floor Saturday after staying away from

Bankers Life Fieldhouse for a day to decompress following their stunning 94-75 loss, a defeat amplified by the clash between Wade and Spoelstra during a timeout in the third quarter.

On Friday, Wade drove to Bloomington, Ind., and visited Indiana coach Tom Crean, his college coach for three years at Marquette. LeBron James went to the movies, catching “The Dictator.” Spoelstra joked that he locked away the keys to the team bus so players couldn’t get to the arena.

“We wanted to get away,” Spoelstra said as his team prepared for today’s Game 4.

Wade, who scored just five points on 2-of13 shooting and had five turnovers in Thursday’s blowout, insists that any apparent problems with Spoelstra were overblown. He downplayed their fiery spat.

“Things happen,” said Wade, who refused to acknowledge his quarrel with Spoelstra following the game. “In a perfect world a lot of things would go differently, but it’s not a perfect world. A lot of stuff in our game is in the heat of the battle, emotional-type things.

When something happens, it happens and we move on as a team.

“Me and coach have

been together for nine years in some capacity.

We’ve had many different conversations, some like that and some not. It wasn’t the first, it won’t the last. We know how to move on from things and we know each other wants the best for each other.”

Spoelstra knows the dispute didn’t look good to the outside world, but it’s just part of professional sports.

“Your communication sometimes is not for everybody’s living room, but it’s normal in our living room,” he said. “We’ve moved well beyond that.

Dwyane and I have been together for a long time, nine or 10 years. That’s

the least of our concerns the last two days.”

With an aggressive approach on both ends of the floor, the Pacers have won the past two games to put the Heat in an unforeseen hole and place their title hopes in serious danger.

A win today would put Indiana up 3-1 and send the panic meter to code red in south Florida. James, though, believes the Heat can even the series.

“We’re a confident bunch,” the MVP said.

“We’ve got a veteran ballclub. We didn’t play well in Game 3, so we have an opportunity to go out and make amends and try to bring it back to our house with the series tied 2-2.”

Pacers’ Stephenson apologizes for choke gesture toward James INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Pacers reserve guard Lance Stephenson apologized for making a choking gesture toward LeBron James. The NBA’s MVP wasn’t so forgiving.

In fact, he didn’t even know he had been mocked.

James said Saturday that he was unaware that Stephenson had been caught by cameras in front of Indiana’s bench wrap-

ping his hands around his throat after the Miami star after a missed technical foul during Game 3 on Thursday night.

So when James was asked for his reaction, he dismissed Stephenson.

“Lance Stephenson?

You want a quote about Lance Stephenson?” James said after practice. “I’m not even going to give him the time. Knock it off.”

James’ slam aside, Stephenson was contrite in offering an apology.

“I was wrong and disrespectful to my teammates, the Miami Heat and their organization,” he told NBA.com. “I’m sorry that I did that. It was very disrespectful. I’ll never do it again.”

Indiana coach Frank Vogel said he didn’t have to seek out Stephenson for

going to make a run. It was just a matter of trying to withstand it,” Griffin said. “In the second half, especially the third quarter, we did a poor job of responding.

“I missed some shots I hit in the first half, easy shots.”

San Antonio led by 11 points early in the fourth before the Clippers got within seven on consecutive baskets by Williams.

Gary Neal hit a threepointer to launch a 13-9 spurt, capped by Parker’s three-pointer, that extended the Spurs’ lead to 89-78. Paul, so dominant in the final period during the regular season, was limited to four points.

Reggie Evans, a defensive spark for the Clippers off the bench, missed 6 of 8 free throws in the final 3:42.

“They play the same whether they’re up 20 or down 20,” Griffin said of the veteran Spurs.

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Jays’ Morrow blanks Mets ————

Toronto improves winning streak to four The Associated Press

Interleague Blue Jays 2, Mets 0 TORONTO — Brandon Morrow pitched his second shutout in four starts, blanking the Mets on three hits and leading Toronto over New York.

Morrow (5-2) struck out eight and walked one to win for the fifth time in six outings. He has three career shutouts, including a victory over the Los Angeles Angels on May 3.

Toronto matched its season high by winning its fourth in a row overall.

Morrow also benefited from a close call in the ninth. Pinch-hitter Scott Hairston led off with a walk and went to third on Mike Baxter’s one-out single. Baxter tried to stretch his hit into a double but was thrown out at second base by Jose Bautista.

Pirates 4, Tigers 3 DETROIT — Andrew McCutchen hit a pair of two-run homers, and A.J. Burnett pitched six solid innings to lead Pittsburgh.

It was McCutchen’s sixth career multihomer game and second in three days.

He has seven home runs on the season.

Prince Fielder hit a tworun homer for the Tigers, who stranded 10 runners. .

Vogelsong (2-2) retired the first 13 batters he faced and allowed only a soft single to right-center by Seth Smith with one out in the fifth. But he was still locked in a scoreless duel with Tyson Ross before the Giants broke through for four runs with help of a disputed call in the seventh.

Mariners 10, Rockies 3 DENVER — Jason Vargas threw seven strong innings, Kyle Seager homered and drove in three runs and Seattle beat Colorado.

One day after being victimized by Kevin Millwood’s two-hitter — his first shutout in nine years — the Rockies looked lost against Vargas, who took a two-hitter into the seventh to help hand Colorado its 12th loss in 15 games.

Vargas (5-3) kept the Rockies off-balance with an array of offspeed pitches set up by pinpoint control of his fastball.

The White Sox made it two in a row over the Cubs and played without first baseman Paul Konerko, who’d been hit near the left eye with a pitch Friday and had to leave the game.

Konerko had a shiner Saturday, but tests revealed no major damage and he hopes to play again Tuesday.

Chen, Royals subdue Diamondbacks KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — Bruce Chen weaved his way into and out of trouble over the first four innings against Arizona. The Diamondbacks had eight base runners during that early span but couldn’t get even one run across.

Chen won his third straight start with some help from Billy Butler and Mike Moustakas, who both homered, and the Kansas City Royals beat Arizona, 7-3, Saturday night.

The game could have gotten out control early for Chen as the Diamondbacks had two base runners in each of the first four innings, including three innings with no outs.

But the Diamondbacks went 1 for 9 with runners in scoring position in that span.

“He was working his magic,” Royals catcher Brayan Pena said. “He came out of some pretty good jams.”

Indeed he did.

“The first four innings it was very tough,” Chen said. “I scrambled but my defense did a real good job. That’s the only thing you can do is keep your composure and don’t show your teammates that you are struggling.”

The Royals defeated the Diamondbacks, 7-3, on Saturday night in Kansas City, Mo. on came in the second, which Jason Kubel led off with a double before stopping at third on Paul Goldschmidt’s single. After Chen struck out Cody Ransom, Ryan Roberts flied out to center and Jarrod Dyson threw out

Kubel at the plate for an inning-ending double play.

“He did a great job of really minimizing the damage to the point where they couldn’t score until the seventh inning,” Royals manager Ned

Yost said. “It’s a sign of a veteran pitcher that can still keep his composure and make pitches when he needs to especially in crunch time and Bruce did that all night long.”

Butler homered to leftcenter in the third with

Alcides Escobar aboard.

Butler also drove in Jarrod Dyson with a sacrifice fly in Kansas City’s two-run fifth. Butler’s eight home runs and 31 RBIs lead the Royals.

“It was a 2-0 fastball, basically a pitch out over the plate,” Butler said.

“He was trying to come in. Obviously, it’s not a bad pitch if he gets it in there. In that situation, I’m looking for something out over the plate to drive. I got a good pitch to hit.”

Wood returns to Wrigley for goodbyes CHICAGO (AP) — Kerry Wood’s first trip as a retired baseball player Saturday morning was one any dad can appreciate.

He went to a little-league game, which he described as awesome.

And then hours later he stepped to a microphone near home plate at Wrigley Field as his now ex-teammates stood behind him. And Wood made another delivery, reeling off a long list of people he needed to thank for a major-league career that spanned 14 years.

Teammates, coaches, managers, his wife, his dad, trainers, former general manager Jim Hendry, team owners, and his friends on the clubhouse staff.

“I’m going to miss you guys,” Wood said, dressed in a coat and tie instead of his familiar uniform with No. 34 on the back. “I’m going to miss everybody.”

Wood retired following Friday’s game against the White Sox after striking out his final and only batter of the day. The latest injury to his shoulder and another trip to the disabled list — his 16th — made it apparent that it was time to go. But he wanted a final chance to pitch at Wrigley Field before peeling off the uniform.

And after all the hubbub Friday, he made it official Saturday in a ceremony about four hours before

CHICAGO CUBS PITCHER KERRY WOOD IS BACKED BY TEAMMATES as he announces his retirement from baseball on Saturday at Wrigley Field in Chicago. the Cubs met the White Sox. “You know when it’s time, the body was telling me and obviously the results were telling me,” Wood said after his formal remarks.

The right-hander had an 0-2 record and an 8.31 earned-run average over 10 games this season and had struggled mightily after a return from the disabled list.

“So I’ve got no regrets.

I played this game as long as I could and as hard as I could. And I’m fine saying that.”

Wood had plenty of

memorable moments during his stay with the Cubs. He played with Chicago from 1998-2008 and then rejoined the team last season after a brief stint with the Indians and Yankees.

There was the 20-strikeout game in his fifth major-league start in 1998 and a couple of playoff wins in 2003 when the Cubs made a serious run at the World Series. But he said the one he’ll remember most came Friday after he struck out the White Sox’s Dayan Vicieo on three pitches.

As he left to a rousing

ovation, his son Justin came out of the dugout and gave him a big hug.

“You can’t put anything above that,” said Wood, who with his wife and three kids went for one more stroll in the Wrigley Field outfield Saturday.

When he’s ready, Wood will have a job with the Cubs in some capacity, but he wasn’t ready to look that far ahead. He’s gotten numerous texts from all over the country and was saluted by former teammates and managers, who commended his perseverance.

During Saturday’s cere-

mony the Cubs presented him with a picture of him and his son in that on-field embrace Friday and also a flag of his 20-strikeout game.

Asked why he was so popular in Chicago — the fans often chanted “Kerry, Ker-ry,” as they did one last time Friday — Wood said he felt they appreciated all he went through to pitch, especially with so many injuries. And he first pitched at Wrigley when he was 20 years old, so he grew up in front of them.

“This is something that I’ve dealt with since way back when. I’ve been battling injuries since after my first year,” said Wood, who missed the entire 1999 season after elbow surgery.

“It made me who I was.

If I didn’t have those injuries, I don’t think I would be the person I am.”

Cubs president of baseball operations Theo Epstein, who is new to Chicago, said the latter part of a player’s career can be difficult, but that Wood handled it well.

“The player evaluating himself properly in the context of the team can be tough. He’s able to step outside himself, view the situation, understand what he needed to do to make himself happy and sort of what was best for him and the club,” Epstein said.

“I really admire what he was able to do. It’s unique.”

Moustakas sent his sixth homer of the season into the right-field bullpen in the fourth.

Chen was chased during Arizona’s two-run seventh, giving up two runs on eight hits and two walks in 6 1/3 innings. In winning his past three starts, Chen has yielded six earned runs in 19 1/3 innings for a 2.79 earnedrun average.

“That’s a good offensive club over there and he was at 100 pitches on a hot night,” Yost said. “We didn’t want to give them any footholds. We needs wins bad at home.”

Diamondbacks righthander Ian Kennedy (34) lost his fourth straight May start, giving up six runs on eight hits and a walk in 4 1/3 innings before being replaced by Mike Zagurski. In his past four starts, Kennedy has a 5.92 ERA, allowing 16 earned runs on 22 hits, including five home runs, in 24 1/3 innings.

“Kennedy got himself in bad counts and couldn’t make a pitch to get out of it,” Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said.

“Chen got into bad situations but he did a good job of getting out of it. He got behind and would throw a cutter or change and get out of it.”

BRIEFLY Royals’ Teaford on 15-day DL KANSAS CITY, MO. — Everett Teaford was placed on the 15-day disabled list Saturday because of a lower abdominal strain.

Teaford was scheduled to start today for the Kansas City Royals. He was recalled Thursday from Triple-A Omaha, where he was 0-1 with a 5.73 earnedrun average in three games, including one start with Kansas City.

The Royals recalled righthander Nate Adcock from Omaha, and he will start today against Arizona.

Adcock was 0-1 with a 2.51 ERA in four relief appearances in two previous stints with the Royals.

Leyland says criticism deserved DETROIT — Detroit manager Jim Leyland says the criticism of his struggling team is to be expected.

The Tigers have been strikingly mediocre mark for a team that won the AL Central by 15 games in 2011 and added Prince Fielder in the offseason.

While Motown waits and hopes the team will hit its stride, patience is running a bit thin.

Leyland understands the negativity. He says: “You’ve got to take it when you’ve got it coming, and right now, we’ve got it coming.”

Leyland says one thing he won’t do is stage a contrived temper tantrum.

Major league teams working on social media message CHICAGO (AP) — Bridget Houlihan rifled through her gift bag and pulled out a gray T-shirt with a circular Chicago Cubs emblem on the front and FOLLOWER emblazoned across the back, resting on a row of logos from the top social media websites.

“This is awesome,” she said.

Baseball thinks Houlihan is pretty sweet, too, and major league teams like the Cubs are hoping to entice more fans like her to come out to the ballpark. Social media nights have become a common part of the promotional schedule, and some of the best ticket deals and giveaways can be found on Twitter and Facebook.

Savvy franchises are try-

ing to create the right mix online, part content and part business opportunity — keeping their followers engaged while also padding the bottom line.

Players such as Cincinnati Reds second baseman Brandon Phillips and Miami Marlins outfielder Logan Morrison are Twitter superstars, but devoted fans across the country also are responding to the personal touch provided by the teams’ online presence.

Social media nights vary from ballpark to ballpark, but some aspects are fairly consistent. The Cubs offered specially priced tickets and put together contests for their online fans. They encouraged their Twitter fol-

— Jamie Ramsey, of the Cincinnati Reds’ media relations department, on social media lowers to use the hashtag (hash)CubsSocial to mark their tweets throughout the night.

“I think it’s going to be mandatory for all clubs to be not just involved in it, but go all-in, not just dip your toes in the water,” said Jamie Ramsey, who works in the Reds’ media relations department and writes a blog for Major League Baseball’s website.

“Teams are going to realize how important it is to help sell tickets, generate

revenue and keep the fan base interested and engaged.

“I think it’s still kind of new to everybody. Once teams realize how to master it and do what works for them, it’s going to keep growing and become as important as your marketing department, your sales department.”

Houlihan, 33, of Chicago, attended the first social media night at Wrigley Field on Wednesday with her boyfriend, George Hay-

aged to post in time to win an autographed pack of the social media-themed cards that were part of the promotion.

“I think it’s really awesome to put together events like this,” Houlihan said. “I’ve been going to social media events for several years now and I find it’s the perfect way to network because you meet people through Twitter and then you go meet them in person and it gives an entree into what they like to talk about, things that you have in common.”

The Cubs put approximately 300 special bleacher tickets on sale for the

specialist for the Cubs who helps run their Twitter account, said the key to generating revenue in the field is content.

“If your focus is revenue and your content reflects that, I don’t believe that’s a wise strategy ... That’s not why people are there,” he said. “They’re there to converse. So we’ve taken the other approach where it’s definitely a priority for us, it’s something we track, and I can say from 2010 to last year, as we got more involved and offered better content on our platforms, we quadrupled our revenue. So we’re up about 300 percent.”

Third place no comfort for ‘Cause’

I’LL HAVE ANOTHER (9), RIDDEN BY MARIO GUTIERREZ, BEATS Bodemeister, ridden by Mike Smith, to the finish line to win the 137th Preakness Stakes horse race at Pimlico Race Course on Saturday in Baltimore.

‘Another’ chases Triple Crown

By Jim Litke Associated Press Columnist

BALTIMORE — Every racehorse that captures the public’s imagination with a Triple Crown try has something more going for him than speed.

I’ll Have Another doesn’t have Big Brown’s size, or his “look-at-me” swagger. He doesn’t have the blue-collar bona fides that Smarty Jones and Funny Cide did, the aristocratic connections of War Emblem, the ragsto-riches background of Charismatic, or the superstar trainer behind Real Quiet and Silver Charm.

But what the chestnut colt has in abundance is grit. The kind you can’t teach.

In both the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness, he spotted a speedy rival named Bodemeister the lead and then reeled him in a few strides short of the wire. Two weeks ago at Churchill Downs, it was in sweltering heat over a fast strip at 1 1/4 miles. On Saturday, with picture-postcard weather, tighter turns and only 1 1/16 miles to work with, I’ll Have Another again zoomed down the stretch at Pimlico like his tail was on fire.

“He gutted it out,” said owner J. Paul Reddam, a former USC philosophy professor who made his fortune in the mortgage business.

“The other horse was not stopping. He ran a bang-up race, to come and catch him. How can you criticize that? The horse has done everything that we have asked of him this year. He hasn’t had the most respect.

He’s never been favored,” Reddam said. “But for those who have followed the horse and bet on him,

COMMENTARY that’s been pretty rewarding. I don’t know if that will be the case next time, though.”

That will be at the 1 1/2-mile Belmont Stakes come June 9. But that one will be run without Bodemeister, who was the favorite in both the Derby and Preakness and played a gallant Alydar to his rival’s relentless Affirmed.

“He’s getting off the bus here,” said Bob Baffert, who trained Bodemeister and knows more about the trap doors fellow trainer Doug O’Neill and I’ll Have Another will have to sidestep over the next three weeks.

Baffert brought War Emblem (2002), Real Quiet (1998) and Silver Charm (1997) to New York for Triple tries.

“The next leg is always the toughest. It gets pretty hairy,” he said. Then looking at the reporters encircling him, Baffert quickly added, “And dealing with the media might be the toughest part.”

That hardly fazed O’Neill, who learned last week how withering the sport’s spotlight can be when he had to respond to a range of questions about drugging horses in the past. In fact, he relished the attention and practically promised to throw open the doors of his barn to as many reporters and TV cameras as it would hold.

“The great thing about having a horse like I’ll Have Another, it opens a lot of doors,” O’Neill said.

“Along the way, if we can share a little bit of the backstage fun of it, and the excitement, and the beauty of it, I would like to do that. I would love

Bodemeister is skipping the Belmont. “He’s getting off the bus here,” trainer Bob Baffert said.

The 1 3-16-mile Preakness unfolded the same way as the 1 1/4-mile Derby, with the speedy Bodemeister moving to the lead under Mike Smith and I’ll Have Another hanging back in fourth in the 11-horse field. The early fractions were slower than the Derby, but when it came time for Bodemeister to dig in, it was I’ll Have Another who found another gear under Gutierrez and reeled in the tiring pace-

— J. Paul Reddam, owner of Preakness winner I’ll Have Another setter in the shadow of the wire.

Since Affirmed became the 11th Triple Crown winner, 11 horses have won the first two legs only to come up short in the 1 1/2mile Belmont, the longest of the races also known as the “Test of the Champion.” The most recent try came in 2008, when Big Brown was pulled up around the turn for home and did not finish. Before that, Smarty Jones was

PAST TRIPLE CROWN HOPEFULS, AT A GLANCE Since Affirmed last won horse racing’s Triple Crown in 1978, 11 3-year-olds have won both the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness — but fallen short in the Belmont Stakes.

I’ll Have Another will try to snap that streak on June 9.

A look at how the last 11 thoroughbreds with a chance to win the Triple Crown ran at Belmont:

2003: Funny Cide leads to the far turn, relinquishes the lead to Empire Maker at the three-sixteenths pole, battles along the inside to the top of the stretch then weakens, finishing third, five lengths back.

2002: War Emblem stumbles badly out of the gate then bumps Magic Weisner at the start in an 11-horse field. Takes brief lead nearing 2008: Big Brown finishes the half-mile pole. Remains last to Da’ Tara, the longest a factor to the turn but gives shot on the board. Big Brown way, finishing eighth, 19 1/2 fails to respond when jockey lengths back.

1997: Silver Charm fails to hold off Touch Gold in the final eighth-mile and finishes second, three-quarters of a length back, in a seven-horse field.

1989: Sunday Silence can’t match Easy Goer in the final quarter-mile and finishes second, eight lengths back in a 10-horse field.

1987: Checked sharply on the final turn, Alysheba finishes fourth, 14 lengths behind winner Bet Twice in a 10-horse field.

1981: Pleasant Colony, never better than third, finishes a little more than 1 1/2 lengths behind Summing, with Highland Blade second in an 11-horse field.

1979: The 1-5 favorite, Spectacular Bid leads with a quarter-mile left, but weakens to finish third in an eighthorse field, 3 1/4 lengths behind Coastal and another head behind Golden Act.

the opportunity to do cool things in New York,” he said, “if we can.”

Baffert stopped short of offering O’Neill any advice. Asked whether he’d be rooting for the first Triple Crown winner to emerge since Affirmed in 1978, he replied, “I might have another horse there.

“But say this for I’ll Have Another,” Baffert added. “He lays it out there.”

Trainer Michael Matz, whose Teeth of the Dog finished fourth in the Preakness, learned a thing or two about expectations while guiding Barbaro.

With Bodemeister headed to the sideline, Matz’s bay colt, Union Rags, might provide the toughest competition. Union Rags will also be fresh, having skipped the Preak-

ness after a rough trip in the Derby resulted in a seventh-place finish.

“It’s great to have a horse rise to that level — good for the sport, the trainer, the fans,” Matz said. “I’ll Have Another looks like he’s peaking.

It will be interesting to see if he can run a third one.”

Actually, make that a fourth. I’ll Have Another burst onto the scene when he ran down Creative Cause in the Santa Anita Derby a month before turning the tables on Bodemeister at Churchill Downs. The questions about 25-year-old, largely untested jockey Mario Gutierrez back then have been left in the dust.

“My horse has a tremendous kick at the end.

He has been proving that

in the last three races,” Gutierrez said. “He didn’t disappoint again today.”

Reddam was, well, philosophical when asked if I’ll Have Another had yet another great race in him “A lot of horses have been in this position in the last 15 years and it didn’t happen for them,” he said. “So when we get to the Belmont, just ride the race. And if it happens, it happens.”

They have arrived in New York, big ones and small ones, silver, black and brown ones, the bashful and the born entertainers. Yet the thing each contender has been remembered for, finally, was failing to get the job done.

Now it’s I’ll Have Another’s turn to try.

run down in the final 70 yards by Birdstone in the 2004 Belmont.

With the colorful and controversial O’Neill squarely in the limelight, scrutiny is sure to intensify about his violations for allegedly giving his horses improper drugs.

He was fined $1,000 and suspended 15 days in one incident. He is contesting another.

“We know we play by the rules,” O’Neill said.

“It’s all about the horse, and we’re just going to focus on the horse.”

O’Neill has been accused in California of “milkshaking,” the illegal practice of giving a horse a blend of bicarbonate of soda, sugar and electrolytes. The mixture is designed to reduce fatigue and enhance performance.

The trainer’s most re-

cent violation dates from an Aug. 25, 2010, race at Del Mar in California. A blood test on his horse, Argenta, showed elevated levels of TCO2 — the socalled milkshake — before it finished eighth.

He faces penalties ranging from a minimum 90-day suspension and a $5,000 fine to a maximum 180-day suspension and fine of $15,000.

Any suspension almost certainly wouldn’t occur before the Belmont.

I’ll Have Another seems to have made a habit of close calls lately. Before the Derby and Preakness, the chestnut colt won the Santa Anita Derby by a nose over Creative Cause.

As usual, owner Paul Reddam wasn’t sure his colt would come through this time.

“I didn’t feel confident

we were going to get there until 10 yards from the wire,” Reddam said. “I wasn’t sure that we would get there, but I knew that our horse had a lot of heart and a lot of fight.”

With a record crowd of 121,309 watching, I’ll Have Another was sent off as the second choice at 3-1, with Bodemeister the 8-5 favorite. The winning time was 1:55.94.

I’ll Have Another paid $8.40, $3.80 and $2.80.

Bodemeister returned $3.20 and $2.80, and Creative Cause paid $3.60 to show.

Zetterholm was fourth, followed by Teeth of the Dog, Optimizer, Cozzetti, Tiger Walk, Daddy Nose Best, Went the Day Well and Pretension.

The victory was worth $600,000, boosting his earning to $2,693,600.

BALTIMORE (AP) — Creative Cause finished third in the Preakness, an afterthought in the duel to the wire between winner I’ll Have Another and Bodemeister.

It was an improvement over Creative Cause’s fifth-place finish at the Kentucky Derby, but hardly a satisfying outcome for trainer Mike Harrington.

“He just got outrun,” Harrington said. “He always brings his best race.

He just couldn’t outrun those horses today. What can you do?”

Harrington had no complaints about the effort of jockey Joel Rosario, who had Creative Cause in second place at the threequarter pole but finished 8 3/4 lengths behind Bodemeister.

“You got to try to win the race. Joel Rosario tried to win the race,” Harrington said. “I have no regrets.”

Harrington figured Rosario’s hard charge took its toll on Bodemeister, who was overtaken by I’ll Have Another in the stretch.

“He probably won it for I’ll Have Another,” Harrington said.

Record crowd: On a lovely afternoon and under a clear blue sky, a record crowd of 121,309 showed up at Pimlico Race Course to watch I’ll Have Another keep alive his Triple Crown hopes.

The 13-race card generated an all-sources handle of $80,463,005 — sixth highest in Preakness history.

“The numbers say it all. We had a tremendous event,” Maryland Jockey Club president Tom Chuckas said.

Day did not go well: After starting as the third-favorite in the 11-horse field, Went the Day Well never got a sniff of the front-runners and finished a disappointing 10th.

The colt moved into a forward position four wide, then failed to respond to jockey John Velazquez in the far turn before falling back in the pack.

“He broke a little slow, but I put him right where I wanted to be,” Velazquez said. “In the first turn, I was right behind the leader, and by the backstretch, I was done. I mean, he didn’t respond at all for whatever reason. Very disappointing.”

The horse’s performance was sharply different than in The Kentucky Derby, when he rallied from 17th place to finish fourth.

“No excuses,” trainer Graham Motion said.

“Johnny said he ran out of horse before the backside.

He ran flat.”

Stall 40: Tradition mandates that the Kentucky Derby winner resides in Stall 40 at the Preakness Stakes Barn.

Doug O’Neill, the trainer of I’ll Have Another, opted to keep his Derbywinning horse in a Barn D at Pimlico.

So what of Stall 40, the temporary home of such great horses such as Secretariat, Seattle Slew and Spectacular Bid? Zetterholm, a 20-1 shot in the Preakness, took residence in the prestigious stall. Zetterholm arrived in Baltimore with a three-race winning streak, and owner Anthony Grey hoped some of the history from Stall 40 might rub off onto his entrant.

“I want to win a big one,” Grey said before the race. “He’s a late April foal, so he’s a late-maturing horse. He’s a stretchrunning horse. Hopefully, it’s our turn to shine.”

Shine? Well, that depends on one’s perspective. Zetterholm finished fourth after going off at 20-1.

PGA TOUR: BYRON NELSON CHAMPIONSHIP

Dufner defends spot atop crowded board The Associated Press

IRVING, TEXAS — Nine players had or shared the lead during the third round of the Byron Nelson Championship.

Yet when play ended Saturday, Jason Dufner was the one alone at the top of the leaderboard for the second day in a row.

Unfazed by more breezy conditions, Dufner shot a 1-under 69 for an 8-under 202 total. He had a one-stroke lead over Jason Day, J.J. Henry and Dicky Pride.

“Similar conditions as (Friday), so probably helped me a little bit, just being comfortable with the wind and how hard it was blowing,” Dufner said. “Good ball striking, hit a lot of greens. ... Didn’t feel like I was scrambling too much, trying to save pars or out of position, anything like that.”

Three weeks after getting his first PGA Tour victory at New Orleans, and two weeks after getting married, Dufner is already trying to win again.

Dufner is comfortable in his position with the experience of having won recently, and the forecast for more wind today, though it is not expected to be as stiff as the 20 mph with gusts the last two days.

Matt Kuchar, who won The Players Championship last weekend, was in a group of eight players four shots back after a 72 with an up-and-down back nine.

Kuchar, the fifth-ranked player in the world, still has a chance to become the first PGA Tour player since Tiger Woods in 2009 to win in consecutive weeks.

Dufner’s only bogey came at the 528-yard par-4 third hole, when he knew right away that his drive wasn’t a good one. He immediately dropped his club to watch as the ball flew into a bunker on the left side of the fairway,

JASON DUFNER HITS OUT OF THE SAND on the 16th hole during the third round of the PGA Byron Nelson Championship golf tournament on Saturday in Irving, Texas. opposite the water on the right where he hit his tee shot the previous day.

“A little bit of carryover from (Friday), not trying to let those things happen, but occasionally they creep in your mind,” he said. “That bunker is almost as bad as being in the water, so (Sunday) maybe I’ll think of that and play more aggressive and try to hit the shot a little better.”

Dufner, who birdied four of his last five holes Friday, got the lost stroke back Saturday with a 10foot birdie putt at No. 6.

He had pars the rest of the way except for the 14-foot birdie at the par-4 14th.

Day’s only bogey came when he missed a putt of less than 2 feet at No. 18.

The ball rimmed around the cup and rolled back toward him, costing him a share of the lead with a round of 67.

“I just hit it too hard through the break,” said Day, the 2010 Nelson champ who finished fifth last year in his only other appearance on the TPC at Four Seasons courses.

“One day that hole will pay me back, and hopefully it’s (Sunday).”

There were 20 players within five strokes of the lead. And 10th-ranked Phil Mickelson was among of group of seven more players only one more back.

Henry had three birdies on the back nine after two bogeys on the easier front nine in a round of 67. Pride, who has been playing professionally for 20 years, got his only PGA Tour victory in 1994.

“I threw my caddie in the air trying to figure out the wind,” Pride said jokingly after his round of 69.

“Grass, I couldn’t see.”

Vijay Singh, a 34-time PGA Tour winner whose last victory was in 2008, had a 66 Saturday. He was two strokes back after an eagle-birdie-bogey finish. After his 38-foot eagle putt at the par-5 16th, he made a 5-foot birdie at No. 17 but missed a par putt of the same distance on the last hole.

“I’ve been looking forward to this position,” he said. “My game has been coming around, but there wasn’t any signs of scoring and this s the first day where I kind of went out there and scored well.”

PGA rookie Jonas Blixt from Sweden (67) and

Marc Leishman (71) were tied for sixth at 205.

Ryan Palmer, the 2011 Nelson runner-up after losing in a playoff, shot a 72 in the final group.

He was with Kuchar and defending Nelson champion Keegan Bradley (71) in that group of eight at 2006.

Kuchar was 8 under and leading after consecutive birdies to start his back nine, with a 32-foot putt at No. 10 and hitting his approach at No. 11 inside 3 feet.

After hitting his tee shot at No. 12 into a fairway bunker, he had a chance to save par but missed a 6-foot putt. His tee shot at the 180yard 13th stopped 4 inches from the pin for a tap-in birdie that got him back to 8 under and the lead, but that didn’t last long.

An errant drive on No. 14 led to a drop, then he had to punch back into the fairway before his approach to the back fringe of the green and a double bogey. His approach out of the rough at the next hole found a greenside bunker and he missed a 7-footer for par.

Bradley was only one stroke off the lead when

Henry hoping to recapture swagger

By Jimmy Burch Fort Worth Star-Telegram

IRVING, TEXAS — The groundwork for Fort Worth golfer J.J. Henry’s climb into contention at the HP Byron Nelson Championship was laid last week, when Henry had a heart-to-heart conversation with his caddie.

“He feels like I’ve underachieved out here.

I do as well,” Henry said Saturday, reflecting on some pointed words he received from a fill-in looper with majorchampionship credentials - fellow Fort Worth resident Mark Brooks, who handled Henry’s bag at The Players Championship.

Brooks, a seven-time winner on the PGA Tour, has been a mentor to Henry in recent seasons, often sharing advice during practice rounds at Mira Vista Country Club. But Brooks, who competes regularly on the Champions Tour, wanted to observe Henry in a pressure situation, so he volunteered to tote his bag at The Players where Henry tied for 40th - during an off-week on the 50-and-over circuit.

Henry said the results of that experiment have been evident at the Four Seasons Resort, where the TCU graduate played his way into today’s final group with a third-round 67 that moved him to 7 under par for the tournament, one stroke behind leader Jason Dufner.

Although regular caddie Pete Jordan, a former TCU golfer, was back on the bag Saturday, Henry said Brooks’ fingerprints were all over a gritty effort that featured Henry’s

Woodland, who shot 68 and 70 in the first two rounds, carded a 4-over 74 in the Woodland third and sits two strokes over par going into today’s finale.

Top seeds gone McDowell slides at Sybase tourney into World semis

COMMENTARY best ball-striking round of tournament week despite battling 30 mph wind gusts.

Henry, 37, split 11 of 14 fairways, including all seven on the back nine. He reached 16 of 18 greens in regulation, including the final 10. If he can generate comparable numbers in today’s final round, where more swirling winds are predicted, Henry could wind up celebrating his first PGA Tour triumph since 2006.

If not, Henry said he’s at least headed in the right direction thanks to what he called “a wakeup call” from Brooks, the 1996 PGA champion.

“He doesn’t sugar-coat anything,” Henry said.

“He showed me a lot of shots around the green.

And he challenged me ...

I’ve kind of set the bar too low. I’m trying to take tighter lines and to take dead aim. And to work on some shots around the green. That’s what we’ve done. And it’s paid off a couple of times this week.”

Whether it results in Henry’s first tour triumph since the 2006 Buick Championship will be determined today. But Henry, a member of the 2006 U.S. Ryder Cup team, concedes he needed a kick in the pants to get things jump-started after missing the cut in his first five events of the 2012 season.

Since hooking up with Jordan, a former PGA Tour competitor, Henry has made the cut in nine of 11 events, including the last six. Henry said

his drive at No. 11 was way right. His shot from there went over the green and trickled into the water, leading to a triple bogey that took him to 4 under, where he finished.

Mickelson had five birdies and four bogeys for a round of 69. He failed to make up any ground even after holing a 42-foot chip shot at No. 18, where he finished with double bogey Friday.

“It was a fun way to end the day,” he said. “I had a lot of opportunities to get right back in the mix and made four or five mistakes there, sloppy bogeys.”

J.J. HENRY WATCHES HIS TEE SHOT on the first hole at the Byron Nelson Championship on Saturday.

Jordan has been “a great asset” between the ropes because he serves as a viable sounding board on difficult shots in pressure situations.

“He played the tour for a number of years and his experience obviously speaks for itself,” said Henry, who arrived at TCU well after Jordan (1982-86) departed.

“There’s no doubt it’s good to have somebody like that who knows what it feels like to be in the hunt or what it feels like to hit the shot ... or read the green. It goes a long way, there’s no doubt about it.”

But Jordan acknowledged there has been something different about Henry this week at the TPC Las Colinas. There is more swagger, as well as more accuracy around the greens. He said whatever lessons Henry gleaned from Brooks last week “have been working great” in Irving.

“He’s revamping his short game a little bit.

He’s so much better than he was,” Jordan said.

“When I first started with him, he wasn’t chipping very good ... Now, he’s thinking he can chip them in. It’s great to see. His at-

titude has been great this week.”

Henry admits he can get down on himself too quickly in pressure situations, a trait that has limited him to one tour victory despite being a consistent money winner (more than $11.7 million in career earnings) for more than a decade.

“I’m my own worst enemy some times,” Henry said. “I get out there and kind of get frustrated.”

Insights gleaned from Brooks, said Henry, have helped him play better “grind-it-out golf.” A prime example is Saturday’s 67, when Henry buried six birdie putts, all from inside 14 feet.

The bigger challenge looms today, with a final-group pairing and a chance to win. Henry said he welcomes the opportunity, especially with next week’s Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial looming.

“Regardless of what happens Sunday, I’m looking to build on some good things that started last week. I’m looking forward to the challenge,” Henry said. “Hopefully, this is the starting point of a momentum-builder for a nice two-week stretch.”

GLADSTONE, N.J. — The Sybase Match Play Championship has been tournament full of surprises since day one and nothing changed this year.

None of the top 14 seeds are still around. The final four consists of two so-called veterans seeking their first wins since 2008 and a couple highly regarded youngsters seeking their first taste of victory on the LPGA Tour.

Of the four, Morgan Pressel is the household name. She won a major at 18 in 2007 and one other time the following year.

Candie Kung is a 30-year-old four-time winner, who has not held a trophy since 2008. Azahara Munoz of Spain won an NCAA title for Arizona State, while Vicky Hurst is a 21-year-old who represented the United States in the Solheim Cup last year.

In the semifinals today, Pressel will face Munoz, and Kung will take on Hurst.

Pressel, who has struggled all season, is the most interesting story. The soon-to-be 24-year-old rallied from 2-down with three holes to play to stun No. 2 ranked Na Yeon Choi in 19 holes in the morning and rolled over Anna Nordqvist of Sweden 5 and 4 in the afternoon quarterfinal in the surprised-filled event at the Hamilton Farm Golf Club.

Pressel is the highest seed left at No. 15. Munoz, who had two top-five finishes recently, is the 19thseed. Hurst is seeded 37th and Kung, who beat No. 1 ranked Yani Tseng in the morning round of 16, is the lowest seed left at No. 49.

CASARES, SPAIN — Graeme McDowell held his nerve in a tense playoff against local favorite Sergio Garcia to squeeze into the World Match Play Championship semifinals in Spain on Saturday.

McDowell made his par putt on the first extra hole from 5 feet but Garcia’s putt slid by the cup from even closer in.

“We are in Spain and it wasn’t exactly ‘el clasico’ but I got the job done,” said McDowell, who holed the winning putt for Europe at the Ryder Cup in 2010.

McDowell will play another Spaniard in the semis after Rafael Cabrera-Bello rallied from 3 down to win 3 and 1 against compatriot Alvaro Quiros, who had earlier ended reigning champion Ian Poulter’s eight-match unbeaten run in the event.

The other semifinal features Belgium’s Nicolas Colsaerts against Scotland’s Paul Lawrie after both eased to victories.

Colsaerts, a semifinalist here last year and whose big-hitting game appears ideally suited to the long, hilly Finca Cortesin course in southern Spain, beat Brandt Snedeker of the United States 4 and 3.

Lawrie thrashed Retief Goosen 6 and 5 in their quarterfinal as he bids to mark his 500th appearance in a European Tour event with his eighth tournament win.

McDowell beat Richard Finch — the conqueror of top seed Martin Kaymer in the group stage — 3 and 2 in the last 16 earlier Saturday and lost a great chance to clinch his match against Garcia in regulation.

K.D. LANG AND THE SISS BOOM BANG will be performing for the first time in Lawrence tonight at the Lied Center in support of their most recent album, “Sing it Loud.”

Music of k.d. lang influenced by growing up on Canadian prairie

By Lauren Williamson

She has never been to Lawrence before, but there will still be a certain familiarity when k.d. lang arrives with her band, The Siss Boom Bang, for their concert tonight at the Lied Center.

Lang was born amid rippling grass, wide, blue skies and the quiet of the Canadian prairie.

“I know what it’s like to grow up with the wind and the space and the silence,” she says.

On her most recent album, 2011’s “Sing it Loud,” elements of the countryrock sound that defined lang’s early work meld effortlessly with the intelligent pop of her 1992 smash “Ingénue.” Soaring above the delicate piano and shimmering steel guitar is that rich, resonating voice Tony Bennett once dubbed the “best of her generation.”

Lang spoke to Lawrence.com about touring with The Siss Boom Bang, what to expect when they

K.D. LANG AND THE SISS BOOM BANG When: 7:30 p.m. today Where: Lied Center Tickets: $40-$45 for public, $34-$38 for KU students. Tickets can be purchased two hours before curtain.

Available at Lied Center box office, through lied. ku.edu or by calling 8642787. perform in Lawrence and her unforgettably jubilant performance of “Jingle Bell Rock” on the “Pee Wee’s Playhouse” Christmas special.

Lauren Williamson: What are you looking forward to about playing in Lawrence? k.d. lang: I always find the Kansas audiences great, really fun and responsive, and they like to listen to music. Every time I’ve played in Kansas

I’ve really, really enjoyed it.

LW: The Alberta Ballet recently announced a partnership with you to create a ballet inspired by the prairie. What’s that collaboration going to involve?

KL: I don’t do that much, really. I give them my blessings and they basically choreograph songs of their choosing of mine, and I get to be surprised by it. [Laughs] Thank God I don’t have to dance in it.

LW: On your most recent record and on tour, you’re working with your own band for the first time in about 20 years.

How is the dynamic different?

KL: There’s a camaraderie there. There’s a lot of love. It’s a democracy in terms of making selections musically. I just feel very supported and energized by the family atmosphere we’ve created as a band.

LW: How involved were they with the writing process on “Sing it Loud”?

When it comes to a camera’s sensor size, bigger usually better Behind the Lens

any decisions go into purchasing a digital camera.

The physical size, shape, color and zooming capabilities may be a few of your determining factors. If you’re concerned about image quality, then you want to compare sensor sizes. The sensor in a digital camera is made up of thousands to millions of lightsensitive cells that capture information for your photographs. In general, the bigger the sensor, the better the image quality.

It’s similar to film. 35mm film has a 36-by-24mm image area. 120mm film, also known as the 2 1/4-inch-by-2 1/4-inch square format, has a 56-by56mm image area, about four times that of 35mm film. If you really want quality, load

“E

veryone over there wears the same stuff we wear over here,” my husband said.

It was his umpteenth attempt to curb my annual pre-vacation shopping spree.

“Google pictures from over there and look at what people are wearing,” he continued. “They’re exactly like us.”

“That’s not the point,” I said, staring at my empty suitcase, then at the teetering piles of clothes on the bed. Half a dozen pieces still had the tags on. “I’m not trying to blend in. I’m trying to pack light.”

“So, let me get this straight,” he countered. “In order to pack light — a goal I fully support, by the way — you have to buy more stuff?”

(Men. They have such an annoying need to make things logical.)

I took his hand and led him into the closet.

“Look at my footwear,” I said. “What do you see?”

“Am I going to get another lecture on why a woman needs a minimum of eight pairs of black shoes?”

“No. But your point is pertinent. When you pack, it’s easy. Why? Because all of your shoes are the same height. Thus, all your pants are the same length. Plus — and I say this with love — you’ve always played fast and loose with the rules of fashion. You’d wear the same shoes to dinner that you wore on a hike, if I’d let you. It’s different for women. It’s all about the shoes.”

“You have 30 pairs of shoes in every height imaginable. Pick three — low, medium, high, all in black — and pack clothes to match.”

(Logic. It’s so overrated.)

“It’s not that simple,” I protested. “First of all, my black heels are my least comfortable shoes. I have to go with the browns. They’re two-and-a-half inches tall, requiring pants that are two-and-a-half inches longer. And, because the shoes are brown, the pants can’t be black. See? In order to pack light, I have to buy new brown pants or new black heels.”

“But…” “Second of all, I have two pairs of black flats — one is dressy, and the other is for walking. I can’t very well choose between them.”

“Just wear the walking shoes out to dinner, too.

Who cares?”

“I care! Those things are hideous! They look like Please see BOOMER, page 2C

K.D. LANG AND THE SISS BOOM BANG are performing at 7:30 tonight at the Lied Center. “It’s kind of like eclectic radio. It’s definitely not one vein of music,” lang said about the show.

lang CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

KL: Very. I think all except one or two (songs) were collaborative. Josh Grange, Daniel Clarke and Joe Pisapia were the songwriters on the last record. I love collaborating. I really feel like I’m at my best when I’m doing collaborative work. It’s just exciting to have other peoples’ influences and input so I don’t feel so insular and introspective. It happens more quickly. It’s more fun. I think it’s more creative because it’s coming from a lot of different channels. Or I should say, it can be. It can be more creative. I don’t like to be definitive.

LW: The sound on “Sing it Loud” is very lush and layered. What inspired that direction?

KL: I guess it’s just the way I hear, and certainly with Joe Pisapia being my production partner and the engineer on the record — he has his own studio and had been working with the band Guster coming from sort of a pop/rock arena and coming in working with me, and then I have my history of music. I think it’s probably the combination of both of us and the way we love to hear music.

LW: How’s the tour been going so far?

KL: Oh, very well. It went so well last year that we decided to come again this summer and keep touring. It wasn’t a

necessity for us. It was really our choosing to come back out and keep playing this record.

LW: What can people expect from the show in Lawrence?

KL: This year we’re incorporating more from the back catalog, so it’s a retrospective in a way, sort of highlighting “Sing it Loud.”

LW: What are some of your favorite songs to pull out from your catalog on tour?

KL: That changes. It depends on the band and my mood and what record I’m touring currently. I don’t want to tell you what we’re doing, blow the surprise, but it’s a pretty broad spectrum of music we’re playing on this tour.

It’s kind of like eclectic radio. It’s definitely not one vein of music.

LW: How do you keep things fresh after being on the road for so many years?

KL: Music is just so vast and so infinite. I think if you allow the music to really be your guide, or your muse be your guide, it’s pretty easy. I made a decision a long, long time ago that if I wasn’t having fun on stage, then just go home. It’s not worth anybody’s time or money or effort. I made that pact with myself and I think The Siss Boom Bang are definitely with me on that one. The traveling, it gets pretty taxing on your body, mind and spirit, but when you get up there on stage, that’s the thing that rejuvenates you, so we give it our all every night.

LW: Speaking of mak-

ing things fun, one of my favorite, favorite memories of you is your performance of “Jingle Bell Rock” on “Pee Wee’s Playhouse” Christmas special.

Could you tell me a little bit of the backstory behind that?

KL: [Laughs] Oh, well, that was just totally crazy, as you can imagine. I mean, Grace Jones, Doris Day. It was just a madhouse, and of course the set was so much fun to be on. Pee Wee’s crazy. Paul Reubens is crazy. And I was super young and super excited to be a part of it, so the energy is just bursting all around us.

It was really hard to do anything but what I did, which was basically just spaz out. It was a lot of fun.

LW: What are your plans for your next record?

KL: We’re not writing right now. We’ll tour this until October, and then we’ll probably take a few months off. We’ll probably start the writing process late fall or the beginning of next year — write and record a record next year, and put it out in 2014 probably.

It takes a long time to do all that. I like to take my time. I don’t really have that much time to write on the road. It’s pretty much travel all day, get to the show, sleep, travel all day, get to the show kind of thing. I really, really enjoy the space and the freedom and the sort of wonder of the creative process. I like to see what happens to my life when I go through that.

I’ve made a list of sensor sizes, all in millimeters, for some cameras I use along with some other models popular among amateurs and pros. All of these cameras have different functions and features that set them apart, but by comparing sensor size, you can get a good indication of which ones will offer better image quality.

BOOKS Story of remembrance Madeleine Albright weaves riveting tale of family’s experience during World War II

By Carolyn Kellogg Los Angeles Times (MCT)

Mara Cushion, student, Lawrence “‘Living With Intensity,’ about gifted emotions.”

Sophie Tate, student, Lawrence “‘My Ántonia’ (by Willa Cather).”

Bridget Hedman, caretaker, Lawrence “‘I Remember You’ by Harriet Evans. It’s a good summer read.”

Laura Neilsen, 11th-grader, Lawrence “I just started ‘Animal Farm’ by George Orwell.”

Emma Wilson, seventh-grader, Lawrence “The ‘Mandy’ series.”

Madeleine Albright is a formidable figure. She was a member of the National Security Council and the U.S. ambassador to the U.N. When she became secretary of state in 1997, she was the first woman to hold the position. Her manner is direct, with a frankness uncommon for her level of statecraft.

Nowadays she teaches at Georgetown, has a school of international studies named for her at her alma mater, Wellesley College, and writes the occasional book.

In her latest, “Prague Winter: A Personal Story of Remembrance and War, 1937-1948,” Albright traces her family’s history and draws a clear picture of Europe during World War II. Born in Prague in 1937, Albright was the eldest child of Joseph and Anna Korbel. Her father was press attache to the Czech delegation assigned to Belgrade, where she spent most of her first year. As tensions mounted, Madeleine and her parents returned to Prague, and then, in 1939, escaped to England.

Their path, which seemed motivated by politics, had an underlying secret that Albright did not discover until her diplomatic career was under way. Raised Catholic, Albright had no idea that her parents had converted as a young couple and were, in fact, Jewish. More than 20 relatives, including her grandparents on both sides, were killed during the Holocaust.

The stories of their fates form the emotional core of the book, but the threads are slim. Individually and in small family groups, they are displaced, removed, listed as passengers on trains.

Frequently the stories end in blankness, with no written record or witnesses who were there until the end. When they do not, as in the case of Rudolf Deiml, the father of Albright’s cousins, the story is heartbreakingly knowable. A carpenter friend lived to explain that when Deiml got off the train from Theresienstadt to Auschwitz in 1944, he

Olivier Douliery/Abaca Press/MCT

FORMER SECRETARY OF STATE Madeleine Albright, pictured March 30 at the fifth annual Clinton Global Initiative University Meeting at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., has written a memoir of her early life in Europe. shock. That is much later, when Benes and his colleagues have fought many well-articulated diplomatic battles to cement allegiances and secure power as the war grinds on. When Benes’ crew of expat Czechs returned to the country, ostensibly in charge, the balance of power rapidly shifted to the Communists. On the eve of a trip abroad, Jan Masaryk, then foreign minister, was found dead outside his bathroom window. His death was ruled a suicide by authorities at the time but he is thought to have been assassinated

by Russian agents.

That tragic end is an important part of the history of Czechoslovakia, which is the organizing force of the book: This is history told from the Czech point of view. The Theresienstadt camp, where most of Albright’s relatives were sent, is called by its Czech name, Terezin.

Pearl Harbor gets a single mention, while two chapters are devoted to a small band of expat Czech soldiers, trained in England and dropped behind enemy lines to assassinate Nazi officer Reinhard Heydrich.

Sometimes, the shift in perspective seems to leave the arc of the war incomplete, but it provides an interesting counter-narrative to the standard American version of World War II.

Albright is more than just a historian; she’s been a major international decisionmaker, one whose choices have been as important as those she chronicles in this book. In a few moments — too few — she brings that knowledge into the text.

“The plot against Heydrich illustrated the complex choices faced by leaders and citizens alike,” Albright writes. “Benes had to weigh, on the one side, the political benefits of landing a dramatic blow and, on the other, the inevitable repercussions —the Nazis had the ability and the will to retaliate harshly.”

The retaliation for the assassination was the razing of the town of Lidice, the murder of much of its population, and the order to ship Jewish civilians on trains to Terezin. Albright’s maternal grandmother, Ruzena Spiegelelova, was aboard one.

There were no survivors.

The “remembrance” promised in the title is scant and often disconnected from the action.

Albright was a child listening for air raid sirens in England, while the men and women who fought and suffered were deep in the continent, unknown to her. More than a memoir, this is a book of facts and action, a chronicle of a war in progress from a partisan faithful to the idea of Czechoslovakian democracy.

Irving’s sexuality an influence in latest novel

told the waiting Germans he was a doctor; he was directed to the gas chambers.

Too young to have known her relatives beyond the odd childhood memory, Albright pieces together what she can, with letters, family recollections and a few photographs. She embeds these fragments in a wellwrought political history of the region, told with great authority.

For the first 100 pages, we get a thorough backgrounding in the cultural and political history of the region. Albright presents a coherent vision of the multilingual, blended heritage of Czechs, Slovaks, Germans, Hungarians and others that built a small country up to an industrial powerhouse and fostered a vibrant tradition in music and the arts.

Then she follows the moves from World War I through the inter-war period, providing context in which the threat of Hitler’s rise to power can be seen. Over and over she writes of the considerations a small country must make when trying to forge a secure place in a world of shifting allegiances, which was Czechoslovakia’s dilemma before World War II. We see Germany’s march into Prague from the Czech point of view, as the tragic result of domestic ties unraveling, conflicted and weak national leadership, and betrayal by international powers.

As the war progressed, Albright’s family was in London, where her father was part of a core group of displaced Czech expats led by former President Eduard Benes. Albright’s father, Joseph Korbel, mainly wrote and produced daily broadcasts on the BBC directed at those in Czechoslovakia resisting the Nazis. Korbel reported to Jan Masaryk, former ambassador to Britain, whose father, Thomas, was Czechoslovakia’s first president and a major uniting figure.

For American readers who may not be familiar with the legacy of Thomas and Jan Masaryk, this book provides enough sweeping history and close-up detail so that Jan’s end, after the war, comes as a

ences.” But 34 years later, given the current political climate and interest in the subject of bullying, “In One Person” could hardly be more timely.

Like all of Irving’s work, “In One Person” is suffused with humor, bite, raw sexuality and an overarching humanity, covering half a century of Billy’s life. Irving, 70, says that although “Billy is not me,” he is “my imagination of what I might have been if I’d acted on all my earliest impulses as a young teenager.”

The author says he has “always identified with and sympathized with a wide range of sexual desires. When I was a boy, I was confusingly attracted to just about everyone; in lieu of having much in the way of actual sex — this was the ’50s — I imagined having sex all the time, with a disturbing variety of people.

“I was attracted to my friends’ mothers, to girls

my own age, and — at the all-boys’ school I attended, where I was on the wrestling team — to certain older boys among my teammates. Easily twothirds of my sexual fantasies frightened me.”

He was, he says, terrified of being gay. “It turned out that I liked girls, but the memory of my attractions to the ‘wrong’ people never left me,” he says.

“The impulse to bisexuality was very strong; my earliest sexual experiences — more important, my earliest sexual imaginings — taught me that sexual desire is mutable.”

With regard to tolerance or lack thereof, Irving notes, “I think our sympathy for others comes, in part, from our ability to remember our feelings. ... Certainly, sexual tolerance comes from being honest with ourselves about what we have imagined sexually.”

The “just say no” mentality with regard to sex

is “a form of senility,” he says. “Those adults who are always telling children and young adults to abstain from doing everything — well, they must have never had a childhood or adolescence (or they’ve conveniently forgotten what they were like when they were young).”

Wrestling appears in “In One Person,” as in all of Irving’s books, but in this one, it’s fairly peripheral, at least for the characters. But the sport is always a powerful force, and metaphor, for the author, who was inducted in 1992 into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame in Stillwater, Okla.

“Wrestling and writing are similar to me,” he says.

“There’s a lot of repetition, a lot of attention to small details. Writing is rewriting.”

Retirement? Perish the thought. “I began a new novel on Christmas Eve. Writing is as essential as exercise to me.”

Poet’s Showcase Ignorance of the Living The glossy rich surface of a mirror weaved into a delicacy of a glass wall interprets a skimble-skamble sea gull’s cry before it plunges headfirst down the tall and narrow cliffs bordering the majestic waterfall, straight towards the polished rock piles listening and feeling the echoing wind as he dropped, wings tucked tight, not expecting anything unusual — before the wind caught him and rustled a severed glimpse of forever buried secrets into the sea gull’s beautiful and elegant feathers, pulling away just at the last second.

Black walnuts, forestry research topics of upcoming workshop

A

BILL REID is an associate professor of horticulture at Kansas State University and director of the Pecan Experiment Field in Chetopa. Reid is recognized nationally for his work in pecan and walnut production and will be speaking on black walnut cultivars for nut production at a field day June 1 near Manhattan.

lthough a single black walnut tree in an urban yard might seem to have little value for anyone but the squirrels, black walnuts are valuable for both lumber and nut production when properly managed.

To share information about black walnut production, the Kansas Chapter of the Walnut Council is sponsoring a field day at the Kansas State University Forestry Research Center near Manhattan on June 1.

Garden Calendar

Jennifer Smith smithjen@ksu.edu

The workshop begins at 9 a.m., includes lunch, and is only $12 to attend. Registration information is available at K-State Research and Extension—Douglas County, 2110 Harper, by calling 8437058 or by visiting douglas. ksu.edu.

Black walnut is a good crop for our area because of its tolerance for local soil and weather conditions. The tree is native to the eastern half of Kansas.

For those with a sweet tooth, one of the highlights of the day is a session on black walnuts in sugar cookies, with samples promised.

The purpose of the session is explaining recent research conducted through K-State’s Sensory and Consumer Research Center located in Olathe. The study — aimed at helping producers determine what cultivars to grow and with increasing black walnut marketability — polled participants on liking and flavor intensity of various black walnut cultivars.

The real meat of the workshop is a session on cultivar selection with K-State horticulture professor Bill Reid. Reid conducts research on black walnuts and pecans at the KState Pecan Experiment Field in Chetopa and is the nut crops specialist for both Kansas and Missouri. He is nationally recognized for his work with black walnut and pecan.

As may be expected, the workshop includes additional

sessions on management of black walnut stands and on a disease that threatens our borders from the west.

In addition to black walnut information, K-State horticulture professors Rhonda Janke and Charles Barden will share information on shiitake mushrooms and hybrid poplars.

Janke is working with KState students to produce shiitake mushrooms on inoculated logs at the forestry research center. Shiitake mushrooms are native to Asia and have long been produced in protected forest environments. As the mushrooms’ popularity in the U.S. has

them for several years.

Barden’s hybrid poplar research is examining the potential for the trees’ use in phytoremediation and biomass energy production. Phytoremediation is the use of plants to treat environmental problems. Barden is primarily interested in hybrid poplars ability to remove pollutants from contaminated soil and ground water.

Eating black walnuts is even better than growing them — the University of Missouri says the nuts are high in Omega-3 fatty acids, high in fiber, cholesterol-free, and contain other acids and phytochemicals known to decrease the risk of cancer, heart disease and blood clots.

Since the nuts typically have a strong flavor, incorporating them into recipes with Submitted photos other foods is recommended.

Kovel’s Antiques: Garden pottery a kitschy collectible Q:

By Terry Kovel

Art pottery made by Weller is a favorite among collectors.

The company made art pottery in Zanesville, Ohio, from 1893 to 1948.

From the 1920s to the 1940s, Weller also made less sophisticated pottery for the yard called “Garden Ware.” Stone-colored birdbaths, sprinklers, fountains, toadstool seats, sundials and urns were available.

Large, colorful Garden Ware figures were the most unusual. They were made in several sizes: 4, 7 1/2, 10 and 18 inches.

Lifelike dogs, roosters, birds, cats, rabbits, pelicans, ducks, frogs and squirrels were produced, along with humorous frogs, gnomes and unusual “Pop Eye” dogs. All of these figures were made to be half-hidden among plants, a surprise to be glimpsed from a garden path. Many of the figures

I recently saw an ad for new Bauer pottery.

Pieces shown in the ads were in solid colors with molded rings. Is Bauer being reproduced?

Bauer pottery was originally made by J.A. Bauer Pottery Co. from 1885 to 1962. After the factory closed, the molds were destroyed.

In 1998, Janek Boniecki, a collector, began making new Bauer under the name “Bauer Pottery Co. of Los Angeles.” Original colors are used and the molds are made from pieces of original Bauer pottery.

A plaster model of an original piece is made about 8 percent to 10 percent larger so that the finished piece will be the correct size after it shrinks.

Then a master mold, which is known as the block-andcase, is made from the plaster model. Production molds or dyes are made from the master mold.

About 150 different

Today, a 4-inch Coppertone frog sells for about $300 and a 4-inch Pop Eye dog for $300, but a 19-inch “Gnome on Tree Trunk” is worth more than $5,000.

Most Garden Ware has cracks and chips from living outdoors, but minor damage does not change the price very much.

pieces of new Bauer have been produced. Pieces are now being made in Highland, Calif.

New Bauer pottery is marked “Bauer Pottery 2000 Highland USA.” Pieces are sold in gift stores and through online catalogs.

To see the complete line, check the company’s website, BauerPottery.com.

Q: I was given a fourpiece set of patio chairs by a family friend who said the set originally came from an old motel in Miami Beach, Fla. I have been trying to decide if I should restore the chairs or sell them. The metal frames have some rust and several of the chairs’ vinyl straps are missing.

The straps are fastened onto prongs on the frame.

I have yet to find anyone who has ever heard of prong connections for straps, and everyone I have asked thinks the set is very old. Is there any way to find the age and

value of these chair?

A: Old lawn furniture doesn’t sell for high prices unless it’s marked with the name of a famous designer or maker. It’s probably not worth the time and money it would take to restore it.

The rust must be sanded or scraped off the metal frames. Then the frames should be painted with a rust-preventative base coat and a finishing coat of paint.

In order to consider restoring the chairs, you would have to find a source for new straps.

You can buy vinyl strips in various lengths, but it might be difficult to cut the kind of holes needed to fit around the prongs on your chairs. In order to avoid sagging straps, the vinyl strips have to be cut 10 percent to 15 percent shorter than the actual measurement needed. Then the vinyl has to be boiled briefly to make it pliable enough to be stretched to fit the frame.

Vinyl tightens as it cools.

If you can find the supplies and do the work, you still have chairs that will be very hard to sell.

Q: What are the fancy decorations and handles on silver trays made of?

A: If the tray is sterling silver, its handles probably are sterling. The handles on silver-plated trays are often made of spelter, Britannia metal or another low-grade metal and then plated when the rest of the tray is plated.

Be careful. We know of someone who put a silver tray in the oven to keep food warm. The heat melted the handles and they fell off.

Tip: A diamond ring is durable but not indestructible. Don’t wear it when using chlorine bleach that can discolor the mounting. Have a jeweler see it once a year to check for loose prongs or worn mountings.

20-year-old too young to play hero Dear Annie: Five months ago, I met “Abby” at my job. We have a lot in common and have become close. We flirt with each other. Here’s the problem. Abby is 41, and I am 20. She looks and acts much younger.

Abby is in a terrible relationship with her narcissistic soon-to-be ex-husband “Dave.” They have two young children.

Dave is jealous and domineering and doesn’t want a divorce. He has every phone and computer in their house bugged and has had Abby followed and spied on for years.

Abby is certain that Dave has cheated on her multiple times, but has no proof. He has turned many members of her family against her by lying that she’s been unfaithful. He also holds all the money. Many times Abby has to leave the house at night and sleep in her car. The only way she could have a life after

I care deeply for Abby and want to help her. I’d be willing to move out of state with her. What do you think? — Dead End Dear End: The age gap is not your biggest problem. It’s the fact that you are only 20. You don’t have enough life experience to tie yourself to a still-married woman with two young children, an unsupportive family and a husband who sounds abusive and threatening. You can

Sunday series are tried, true Weekends are home to four of television’s longest-running shows. “COPS” (returning to Fox in 2013) debuted in 1989. So did “The Simpsons” (7p.m. Sunday, Fox). “Saturday Night Live” (10:30 p.m. Saturday, NBC) kicked off in 1975, and “60 Minutes” (6 p.m.

Sunday, CBS) dates to 1968. Of these series, “60 Minutes” is also typically the most watched. It often ranks in the top 10 programs in any given week. ‘‘60 Minutes” has endured because its correspondents and producers have respected its audience’s intelligence, and its viewers have continued watching, allowing “60 Minutes” to pretty much air whatever stories it wants to. The newsmagazine is far more likely to do a follow-up on Venezuela’s youth orchestra than profile the latest flash-in-the-pan pop music or reality television star.

That editorial trend continues on tonight’s episode, which features stories on paying students for bright ideas and undiagnosed diseases. ‘‘The Simpsons” has also thrived with quirky independence and by going high and low simultaneously, mixing childlike slapstick with remarkable literary sophistication.

On any given episode, violent pratfalls reminiscent of “The Three Stooges” might break out in one scene, and then Lisa will refer to an obscure novel or jazz composition in the next.

More than any other live or animated series, “The Simpsons” assumes that its audience is well read enough to get its jokes — maybe not the first time, but eventually. “The Simpsons” concludes its 23rd season with Lady Gaga (as herself) giving Lisa some help with her self-esteem.

I will, however, give her the promised gift once she gets her diploma.

I’m sure my absence will raise questions. Do you think I should go through the travel expense and attend the party? — Grandmother with Principles Dear Grandmother: If you consider the party to be a celebration of her diploma, rather than of the four years she spent completing high school, you should not go. The parents likely will tell those who question your absence that it was too great an expense or inconvenience. However, if you would feel bad and later question your decision, you may as well attend. Consider the party an “early” graduation celebration, since your generous gift will undoubtedly provide an incentive for her to finish.

G-8 SUMMIT

Obama: ‘Growing consensus’ on economic fix

By Ben Feller and Jim Kuhnhenn Associated Press

CAMP DAVID, MD. — Confronting an economic crisis that threatens them all, President Barack Obama and leaders of other world powers on Saturday declared that their governments must both spark growth and cut the debt that has crippled the European continent and put investors worldwide on edge.

“There’s now an emerging consensus that more must be done to promote growth and job creation right now,” Obama proclaimed after hosting unprecedented economic talks at Camp David, his secluded and highly secure mountaintop retreat.

Seeking a second term amid hard economic times, Obama hailed a debate heading in the direction he likes, with nations now talking of ways to spark their economies instead of just slashing spending.

Yet there were no bold prescriptions at hand. Instead, leaders seemed intent on trying to inspire confidence by agreeing on a broad strategy no matter their differences. With all of them facing their own difficult political realities, they built some sovereign wiggle room into their pledge to take all neces-

FRENCH PRESIDENT FRANCOIS HOLLANDE, left, listens as U.S. President Barack Obama speaks at the start of the first working session of the G-8 Summit on Saturday at Camp David, Md. sary steps, saying “the right measures are not the same for each of us.”

Obama played international host as Europe’s debt crisis threatens to drag down the U.S. recovery and his own political future, underscoring the stakes for him in getting allies abroad to rally around some answers.

Much of the new emphasis on government-led growth seemed aimed at German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who came to the summit as the European leader who had demanded austerity as the most important step toward easing the eurozone’s debt crisis.

But the election of Socialist Francois Hollande as presi-

dent of France and Greek elections that created political chaos in the country were clear rejections of the belt-tightening Merkel represented.

Coping with shaky oil markets, the leaders set the stage for a united release of world oil reserves to balance any disruption in world markets when tough new sanctions are imposed on Iran’s exports because of its disputed nuclear program. The leaders said they were ready to take “appropriate action” to meet any shortages.

The mere preparation to release oil reserves could help calm markets and ensure that oil prices, which have been drop-

ping, don’t climb again and anger consumers as U.S. elections approach.

The Group of Eight summit includes leaders of the United States, Japan, Britain, Germany, France, Italy, Canada and Russia.

A joint summit statement reflected how urgently the countries must contain a financial crisis that could spread from the eurozone to the United States and infect the rest of the global economy. They declared unanimity in ensuring that Greece, which is crippled in debt and politically gridlocked, remains as part of the 17-member euro currency union.

“The leaders here understand the stakes,” Obama said in summing up a packed, unusually intimate day of world talks. “They know the magnitude of the choices they have to make and the enormous political and economic and social costs if they don’t.”

Merkel said growth and deficit-cutting reinforced each other and that everyone around the table agreed. “That is great progress,” she said. As for promoting growth, she said investments under consideration include research and development, Internet networks and infrastructure. But she said “this doesn’t mean stimulus in the usual sense.”

Associated Press

JEFFERSON CITY, MO. — The cost of 30 manhole covers that got sucked away: $5,800. A new concession stand at the destroyed high school: $228,600. Shelter and care for more than 1,300 homeless pets: $372,000.

The tornado that tore through Joplin a year ago already ranks as the deadliest twister in six decades. Now it carries another distinction — the costliest since at least 1950.

Insurance policies are expected to cover most of the $2.8 billion in damage. But taxpayers could supply about $500 million in the form of federal and state disaster aid, lowinterest loans and local bonds backed by higher taxes, according to records obtained by The As-

sociated Press and interviews with federal, state and local officials.

Almost one-fifth of that money was paid to contractors who hauled off debris. Tens of millions more dollars went to individuals for temporary housing and other living expenses in the immediate aftermath of the storm.

Additional money could help subsidize construction of a new hospital to replace one that was irreparably damaged.

All told, about two dozen school districts, emergency agencies, public housing authorities, religious groups and other nonprofits could receive taxpayer money through a program run by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

The outpouring of assistance is nowhere near the scale of Hurricane Katrina, which swamped

New Orleans and damaged property along a wide swath of the Gulf Coast in 2005. Yet the Joplin tornado raises questions anew about the government’s role in disasters.

The Joplin tornado, which killed 161 people, was one of 99 major disasters declared by President Barack Obama in 2011.

Other included blizzards, wildfires and hurricanes.

Congress responded in December by authorizing an extra $8.6 billion in disaster aid.

Missouri has a rainy day fund with about $500 million that was created for costly emergencies.

But the fund hasn’t been tapped for Joplin because Gov. Jay Nixon and some lawmakers are reluctant to trigger a constitutional mandate that the borrowed money be replenished within three years.
