Local resident is author of definitive book on America’s premier national cemetery

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

Arlington Cemetery is home to the nation’s war heroes, presidents and astronauts. But it is also the final resting place of famous explorers, athletes and musicians.

Along with the Tomb of the Unknowns and President John F. Kennedy’s Eternal Flame, the cemetery’s monuments and memorials pay tribute to Buffalo Soldiers, nurses, war correspondents, mothers and Confederate soldiers.

At its inception, the cemetery was a burial ground of last resort for Union Army soldiers whose families couldn’t afford to bury them, paupers, unknowns and slaves. It had the added benefit of spiting Confederate leader Robert E.

walked every hill. To him, its graves and monuments do far more than remember the country’s warriors.

“It tells the stories of American history through the battles and lives of the people who fought them,” Peters said.

When Peters moved to Washington, D.C., in 1985, he set off to see the sites of the nation’s capital so he could be an adequate tour guide when his large family came to town.

“I knew everyone in the family was going to come visit, so I went out exploring the city,” he said.

TOPEKA — Kansas has a simple shape and only four congressional districts, so how difficult can it be to draw a redistricting map?

Apparently, pretty difficult. Kansas is the last state in the nation to redraw its political boundaries based on population changes over the past 10 years.

The Legislature and Gov. Sam Brownback couldn’t come to an agreement after months of political wrangling, and so now a threejudge panel will decide the matter.

Having watched this fight up close during the recently completed 2012 legislative session, I decided to try my hand.

My attempt was with the congressional map because the state Senate has 40 districts and the House, 125 districts, and would take more time than I had. The major fight over Senate redistricting has been between moderate and conservative Republicans. In addition, the 10 State of Education districts will be determined by the final Senate map.

In congressional redistricting, the conservative House has produced plans that would split up Democratic voting strength, first by trying to remove Wyandotte County from the 3rd Congressional District and placing it in the 1st, then by swooping into east Topeka and removing it from the 2nd and placing it in the 1st, and finally by curling over into east Lawrence and placing it in the 1st.

See a pattern here? The 1st is one of the largest districts, area-wise, in the nation and one of the most conservative, too.

So, with the help of Corey Carnahan, the mapping computer software expert at the Kansas Legislative Research Department, I drew a congressional map.

KANSAS CITY, MO. — Deborah O’Dell, of Pittsburg, was biding time while her 27-year-old son, James, slept in their room. He has nonHodgkin’s lymphoma, and it’s terminal. He’s participating in a clinical trial at Kansas University Cancer Center.

Before the 2009 diagnosis, O’Dell said her son was attending college and working full time. He weighed a healthy 180 pounds.

Since then, he has endured chemotherapy and radiation treatments and a stem cell transplant. He was in remission for about a year; then the cancer returned with a vengeance.

James has lost his job and private health insurance and is on Medicaid.

Map CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

It took about 30 minutes, and then Carnahan said the fun part was that I got to name the map.

Legislators had introduced at least 30 congressional maps during the session. One legislator named maps after his nieces and nephews; others received Kansas-related names such as Tallgrass 1, Free Willie, Sunflower, Eisenhower, etc.

I named mine after my childhood baseball hero: Mickey Mantle. In addition, I thought Mantle was appropriate as a symbol of nonpartisanship. He was a switch-hitter, batting with power from the left and right.

The No. 1 goal of drawing districts is to have them as equal in population as possible so that everyone’s vote has equal weight. Based on Kansas’ population, the four congressional districts should each have 713,280 people.

That means the district boundaries had to move because since the last time lines were drawn in 2002, the 1st District, which covers all of western Kansas and much of central Kansas, was 57,970 people under the ideal size. Meanwhile, the 3rd, which includes Johnson, Wyandotte and eastern Douglas counties, was 54,289 over the ideal size. The Wichita-based 4th and the 2nd, which includes western Douglas County, also needed adjustments but not as much.

Another major rule in redistricting is to try to maintain communities of interest within the district. Putting east Lawrence in a mostly rural 1st would seem to run counter to that idea.

And other major guidelines are to try to make the districts as compact as possible and with as little shifting as possible.

My cure for the 1st District’s underpopulation was simply to put Riley County in the district.

Officials from Riley County, which includes the city of Manhattan, and House Speaker Mike O’Neal, RHutchinson, do not like this idea, but their stated reasons do not fall within the redistricting guidelines.

Essentially, their argument has been that the current representative, freshman Tim Huelskamp, an ultra-conservative Republican, is not on good terms with U.S. House Speaker John Boehner, also a Republican, and that could hurt Kansas as it seeks funding for the federal bioterrorism lab that is supposed to be built in Manhattan. Huelskamp has denied there is any rift between Boehner and himself. The Riley County advocates want to stay in the 2nd, represented

by U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins, R-Topeka, and she has stated she wants to keep Riley County, too.

But Huelskamp, naturally, would rather not have a portion of Lawrence in his district.

For me, putting Riley County in the 1st solved several problems. It gave the 1st the needed population, and it is snug up to the 1st now and seemed like a natural march toward more population.

After making several other adjustments, my map was pretty much right on the money for population with the largest deviation being the 3rd, which was four people over the ideal size. And the map avoided splitting any major city. It puts Douglas County wholly in the 2nd and makes the 3rd a Johnson County and Wyandotte County district with a bit of Miami County.

In the end, these districts could be drawn any number of ways, and political considerations can seep into every boundary change.

The old saying is that redistricting is the one time that candidates get to pick their voters, instead of the other way around. But this time, Kansas’ redistricting lines most likely will be set by the courts with testimony starting Tuesday before the three-judge panel.

‘STAND YOUR GROUND’

Group seeks repeal of law in Kansas

JIM WYNGARDEN, A PAINTER WITH CAPITOL PAINTING CO., KANSAS CITY, KAN., CREATES A SHADOW EFFECT on new lettering on the Poehler building at 619 E.

The process comprises several steps, including figuring out how to pay for it. Under an agreement to fund operations of the emergency communications center, the city pays 66 percent and the county pays 34 percent, but that agreement does not technically cover capital improvements.

TOPEKA — A national coalition will push for repeal of a Kansas law that is similar to one at the center of controversy in the slaying of a Florida teen.

The Second Chance on Shoot First campaign seeks to repeal or reform so-called “Stand Your Ground” laws that give people the authority to defend themselves using lethal force if they have a reasonable fear of death or serious harm.

The law has come under scrutiny after the death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Fla. Martin was shot and killed during a confrontation with George Zimmerman. Zimmerman has claimed self-defense. He has been charged with seconddegree murder.

Twenty-six states, including, Kansas have such laws.

“Trayvon Martin’s killing in Florida has focused public attention on the consequences of these reckless laws,” said Ginny Simmons, director of the Second Chance on Shoot First campaign.

City, county mull upgrade to radio system Outdated technology, capacity issues cited

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

Thousands of Kansas University fans flocked to downtown Lawrence in celebration of Elite Eight and Final Four victories earlier this spring.

In preparation, teams of law enforcement officers stood at various points along the street, interacting with the crowd and dealing with problems caused by a handful of unruly fans.

In addition to Lawrence police and Douglas

County Sheriff’s officers on duty, Kansas Highway Patrol troopers and other area officers assisted as part of a plan that was months in the works. But it was not seamless setting everything up, especially as organizers tried to ensure officers were on the same radio frequency.

“We had over 250 officers from around the region in town, and we have challenges with other jurisdictions that were on a different system,” said Scott Ruf, director of Douglas County emergency communications.

City and county leaders are eyeing a $6 million to $7 million upgrade to

the local emergency radio communications system, mostly because of outdated technology, lack of system capacity and state and federal mandates. Local public safety officials are recommending that county commissioners grant them authority to continue formal negotiations with Motorola Communications to implement the change.

One part of the recommendation is to expand Douglas County’s aging 911 radio system into one the Kansas Department of Transportation uses, which would be beneficial for responses such as the downtown Final Four

of this cost,” City Manager David Corliss said.

County Administrator Craig Weinaug said conversations between the city and county were ongoing, and he’s hopeful they can reach an agreement in the next few weeks.

Separate from the financing, Ruf said he planned soon to ask county commissioners for permission to enter more detailed negotiations with Motorola Communications.

Ruf said once the new system is in place, anyone who has a capable digital radio scanner should be able to hear law enforcement and medical traffic. According to news reports, as Shawnee County officials have worked on a radio upgrade, they have considered encrypting their new network. That could restrict what the public could hear in certain situations.

But Ruf said encryption has not been discussed in Douglas County. Under the current system, he said, agencies in Douglas County do have one small “encrypted talk group” or channel that is used for special operations on a case by case basis.

“There is no plan at this time to encrypt the new radio system,” Ruf said.

“However, there is a need for some level of encryption for certain public safety functions.”

HOW TO HELP

Guides needed this weekend at Black Jack Battlefield Staff Reports

Agency: Black Jack Battlefield and Nature Park Contact: 785-8832106 or info@blackjack battlefield.org.

The Black Jack Battlefield and Nature Park, 3 miles east of Baldwin City, is urgently seeking volunteers to help with its Lamplight Tour on Saturday. Several volunteers are needed to guide small groups of visitors between stops on the Lamplight Tour; tour guides for each group will have a short introduction that they will need to either memorize or read, while carrying a kerosene lantern to light the way. Additional volunteers to help with whatever becomes necessary during the evening would also be helpful.

There will be a rehearsal of the tours on Tuesday, beginning at 6:30 p.m. at the park; volunteers are asked to attend if possible.

Cancer CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

In early May, they were staying in Hope Lodge, a three-story red brick building in downtown Kansas City that is available to cancer patients for free through the American Cancer Society.

O’Dell and her son had been there for four days.

She expected they would be there for another five.

The clinical trial includes an injection of drugs and a lot of lab work. Some days, they are at KU Cancer Center longer than others.

She said her son wouldn’t be able to endure the 250 miles of daily round-trip travel between Pittsburg and Kansas City.

O’Dell, a licensed practical nurse, and her husband also have two daughters, ages 26 and 25. She said Hope Lodge allows her to spend money on her son’s needs instead of on a hotel room.

“I don’t know what I would do without this place,” O’Dell said. “It means the world. I’ve got the comforts of home. I can do laundry, and I can cook for him. I’ve bought so much food that I think I’m going to have to give a bunch of it away because he won’t eat it.” !"!"!

Hope Lodge is just one of the dozens of services and programs that the American Cancer Society provides for free to cancer patients and their families.

Jill Sittenauer, regional communications director for the American Cancer Society, said the nonprofit spends 32 percent of its budget on research, 30 percent on patient services and 18 percent on programs.

The majority of that money is raised through Relay For Life events.

“If patients call and need these things, then we do everything we can to help them,” Sittenauer said. “Cancer, unfortunately, is a very expensive disease to get, and if your insurance isn’t able to pay for a lot of it or if you don’t have insurance, you have other needs besides your cancer treatments.”

She said one of the services that the American Cancer Society provides is a patient navigator who will not only help patients find cancer services, but also find resources to help with things like utility bills, rent and groceries.

When patients call 1-800227-2345, they will be assigned a patient navigator who will have access to national, regional and local services. The navigator will do the work for the patient.

“We strongly encourage people to use the number,” Sittenauer said.

Other services and pro-

On Saturday night, volunteers should get to the park no later than 7 p.m.

The first tour will begin at 8:45 p.m. Groups of visitors will begin tours every 15 minutes afterward and continue until all visitors have had a tour. The last tour may not finish until 10:30 p.m. Please note that the tour area is hilly and the ground is uneven. It will be dark for the majority of the tours, but in addition to lanterns carried by the tour guides, lighted candles will line the path. For more information, call 785-8832106 or email info@black jackbattlefield.org.

Immediate needs !" The Plymouth Language Program will be starting its new session of classes this week on Tuesday. Several volunteers are needed to provide support; volunteer positions include head teacher, assistant teacher, conversation partner, substitute teacher, front desk, promotions special-

DONATIONS Each participant in Relay For Life is asked to raise at least $100 for the American Cancer Society. Here’s what that $100 can do: !"Cover one night’s free lodging at Hope Lodge in Kansas City for a cancer patient and his or her caregiver. !"Provide two cancer patients with a $50 gas card so they can travel to their treatments. !"Provide two breast cancer patients with a volunteer visit through the Reach to Recovery program. !"Train 10 people to become volunteer drivers for the Road to Recovery program so they can transport patients to and from treatments. !"Provide 10 cancer patients with personal health manager packets to help them organize information about appointments, treatments and medications. !"Provide cancer researchers with 115 Petri dishes, allowing them to turn theories into new tests and treatments. grams include: ! Transportation to treatment facilities. ! Support groups. ! Classes to help patients deal with the cosmetic side effects that can occur during treatment. ! Wigs, turbans, breast prostheses and bras. ! Youth scholarships. ! Youth summer camp.

Last year, the American Cancer Society helped 300 cancer patients in Douglas County, and provided 1,035 services. Seven of those patients stayed in Hope Lodge for a total of 189 days. !"!"!

Project LIVELY, a program of LawrenceDouglas County Health Department, is in need of a volunteer who can help a senior client with some outdoor maintenance at her home in the Centennial Park neighborhood. Her gutters need to be cleaned out, and she also has dead plants in her backyard that need to be trimmed or cut down. To help out, contact Project LIVELY case manager Sarah Norman, at 785-843-3060 or snorman@ldchealth.org.

and go as they please.

They can keep food in the pantries and use the kitchen; everything is done on an honor system. There’s also a movie room with theater seating, a popcorn machine and shelves of movies. Hope Lodge offers activities such as bingo, crafts, movie nights and scavenger hunts .

It is staffed and locked 24 hours a day. The goal is to keep it a clean and safe environment.

Rachel Miller, Kansas City Hope Lodge operations specialist, said patients typically stay between six and eight weeks, but someone has stayed for as long as 18 months.

She said people of any income level can access the lodge. The criteria is that they need to be cancer patients who live at least 40 miles away and who are undergoing treatment.

“We have people who have come from money, and we have people who have come from no money, and that’s the good thing about the American Cancer Society because we treat everyone the same no matter what type of background they come from,” she said.

It takes $1,000 a day to keep the doors open. The lodge has served 2,387 patients since opening in 2000, including 41 from Douglas County. !"!"!

Nancy Gosling described Hope Lodge as a godsend as she made oatmeal one morning while her husband, Phil, looked on.

“Everybody is so nice and kind. You form friendships with people who are going through what you are going through,” she said.

The couple are from Goff, which is about 50 miles north of Topeka and 118 miles from Kansas City. Phil, 70, was undergoing chemotherapy and radiation treatments at KU for squamous cell carcinoma, a skin cancer that started in his sinuses one and a half years ago. He already had endured three surgeries and treatments, and now the cancer is back again. The Goslings anticipated their stay in Kansas City would be another 10 days. Then, his treatments would be less frequent and they planned to drive back and forth.

“This is just a blessing.

It is unbelievable,” Nancy Gosling said. “We didn’t know anything about it until our doctor told us it was available.”

Rural Lawrence resident Jeff Miller, 59, and his wife, Janice, checked out of Hope Lodge earlier this month after about a four-week stay. He had received his second autologous stem cell transplant at KU to help fight multiple myeloma, a cancer of the plasma cells in bone marrow.

Miller said he needed to be within 30 minutes of KU during the transplant.

“Thankfully, Hope Lodge was available, and it’s a tremendous facility,” he said.

There are 31 Hope Lodges throughout the country, including the one in Kansas City, Mo., at 1120 Pa. It can accommodate up to 100 people, and it has four floors.

U.S. military sees new appreciation

EDITORIALS

Symbol of support The flags that fly at Memorial Park Cemetery on Memorial Day are an important symbol of the honored role played by those who serve in the U.S. military.

I

t was hard to believe last week that even the discovery that 300 flagpoles were missing from the Lawrence Veterans of Foreign Wars post would keep the flags from flying at Memorial Park Cemetery this weekend.

We just knew someone would step up and help sustain this longstanding local tradition — and they did.

It’s disappointing, of course, that the flagpoles were missing, or perhaps stolen, from the post’s property at 138 Ala., but it was heartening that it took only a matter of hours for the Lawrence community to offer the VFW a helping hand.

With the help of donations from the Lawrence Sertoma Club and the Rumsey-Yost Funeral Home, the VFW was able to buy 25 new poles and get them ready to display at the cemetery for Memorial Day. The VFW hopes to raise about $8,500 to replace all 300 poles in time for Memorial Day 2013.

The people who stepped up to help maintain this tradition demonstrated not only a great community spirit but also a well-deserved reverence for the military veterans the flags are intended to honor.

Although Memorial Day has evolved into an occasion to remember and honor all the loved ones who have gone before us, it was established and continues to serve a special role in honoring U.S. military veterans and especially those who gave their lives in service to their country.

In recent years, it seems that Americans have developed a renewed appreciation for the men and women in uniform.

The move to an all-volunteer military force has meant that many families have no immediate members in the service, but that hasn’t diminished — perhaps it has even heightened — their respect for those who are willing to accept the challenge and stresses that go with military service.

For all those who serve now and have served before, making sure the flags are flying on Memorial Day as a symbol of our support is the least we can do.

Thanks to those who made it happen.

In his now-forgotten statement proclaiming Memorial Day, the now-forgotten John A. Logan, the commander-inchief of the Grand Army of the Republic, urged Americans not to forget those who had died in the Civil War. It was only three years since the guns were silenced. The country was stitched together but still torn asunder. Much grief and hurt remained.

So Logan, who in time would become a senator and an unsuccessful Republican candidate for vice president, saluted his fallen comrades as “the reveille of freedom to a race in chains” and described their deaths as “the tattoo of rebellious tyranny in arms.” He issued another call to arms, rallying veterans and civilians alike to visit the tombs of

David Shribman dshribman@post-gazette.com

“

Americans aren’t in a new burst of patriotism, but they are in a new burst of appreciation for the military. You see it everywhere.” the fallen. His remarks began a great American tradition that became a great American holiday: “Let us, then, at the time appointed, gather around their sacred remains, and garland the passionless mounds above them with choicest flowers of springtime; let us raise above them the dear old flag they saved; let us in this solemn presence renew our pledge to aid and assist those whom they have left among us a sacred charge upon the nation’s gratitude, the soldier’s and sailor’s widow and orphan.”

Lincoln’s pledge In this statement, itself an artifact from a time long past, there are echoes of perhaps the greatest speech ever delivered on these shores, the second inaugural address of Abraham Lincoln, who vowed that the nation would “care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan.”

That phrase now is on a metal plaque at the entrance

of the Department of Veterans Affairs and is enshrined in the American social compact, one of the few elements of our heritage beyond debate and insulated from partisan pressures.

For those of a certain age, which is to say younger than about 60, this day’s early popular name also is all but unknown. But for generations it was known as Decoration Day, and the meaning of that name is clear in Logan’s remarks. When he said, “The consecrated wealth and taste of the nation can add to their adornment and security,” he was speaking of decorating soldiers’ graves.

New show of respect Today we garland the graves symbolically as well as literally, for there is a new burst of respect not only for the fallen but also for all those who have risen to the military needs of the country.

Last week’s Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll attracted much attention for its finding that support for Barack Obama and Mitt Romney were within the poll’s margin of error. But I was drawn not to the political horse race, but to another finding deep in the poll data — that 76 percent of Americans say they have “a great deal” or “quite a bit” of confidence in the American military.

That’s a very high rate of confidence, especially when you consider that in the same poll only 42 percent said the same thing about the presidency.

Americans aren’t in a new burst of patriotism, but they are in a new burst of appreciation for the military. You see it everywhere.

I’ve been to baseball games in Pittsburgh, Washington, D.C., and Boston in the past few weeks and at each park, returning veterans were introduced and honored. It was perhaps a public-relations decision on the part of the home teams to present them, but it was the individual choices of tens of thousands of people to stand in respect and appreciation for them, to cheer them in thanks, and perhaps to feel the telltale moisture of emotion in their eyes as they did so.

No one commanded those tens of thousands to feel that way. They just did.

If you comb through the data from the WSJ/NBC News poll and others, you will see that this appreciation has been on a general upswing for more than a third of a century. The level of confidence in the military stood at 58 percent in June 1975. That was a few weeks after the North Vietnamese captured Saigon, ending a sorrowful chapter in American history in a sorrowful way. Today, confidence is 30 percent higher than it was then.

Confidence is high The data have other intriguing findings. In December 1988, just before the collapse of communism, the level of confidence in the military was at only 46 percent. Three years later, after the fall of the Berlin Wall but, almost certainly more relevant, after the first Gulf War, the confidence level was at 78 percent. It reached 85 percent in January 2002, just after the Sept.

11 terrorism attacks and the beginning of the Afghanistan offensive.

The military has had many failures in recent years, some because of poor strategic thinking in Washington, some because of poor behavior in Iraq and Afghanistan. Neither the war in Iraq nor in Afghanistan went even remotely according to plan, though students of the military know that while the first casualty of war is truth — Sen. Hiram W. Johnson’s great insight from 1918, and a sober reminder to all of us in the journalism trade — the second almost always is the carefully scripted plan for the conflict. In that regard, American military planners of the 21st century are part of a great tradition leading back to Andre Maginot and beyond.

What is different now is public approbation for the combatants themselves.

Some of it is shallow, or even phony, for the phrase “thank you for your service” sometimes bears the moral weight of “have a nice day.” Some of it is compensation for one of the worst sins of the Vietnam War, the distaste for the veteran who returned from an unpopular cause. Some of it is fashion.

Ordinarily I abhor or ignore fashion; I’m one of the few in my town or yours who needn’t change his wardrobe to attend a 1950s party. But let me say that this is a refreshing fashion. My family and likely yours has in its past the sadness of wartime loss. It’s our job, this weekend and all others of the year, to spend a moment in reflection and gratitude, and in hope that others will be spared the pain that takes no holiday, even this weekend.

Parents have electronic tether to campus

By Anne Michaud Newsday

As college students return home this month for the summer break, their parents might not notice much of a difference. In a sense, for many of them, their kids never really left.

That’s because some parents and college students keep in touch several times a day through cellphones, email, Skype and other technological marvels. A horrified English literature professor writes about this constant communication in a recent issue of The Chronicle of Higher Education, in “Don’t Pick Up: Why kids need to separate from their parents.”

“One student — a delightful young woman whom I know to be smart and levelheaded — confesses that she talks to her mother on the cellphone at least five, maybe six, even seven times a day,” writes Terry Castle, who teaches at Stanford University. The student says she calls her mom whenever she gets out of class to tell her about the professors, the exam — whatever’s going on at the moment.

“I’m stunned; I’m aghast,” Castle writes. When she was an undergraduate, from 1971 to 1975, “all we wanted to do was get away from our parents! We only had one telephone in our whole dorm — in the hallway — for 50 people!

If your parents called, you’d yell, ‘Tell them I’m not here!’”

Castle never says whether her current students are different from those she taught in the past — more docile,

“

… the willingness to defy or just disappoint one’s parents is essential to emotional and intellectual freedom. Is the Class of 2012 at risk of remaining in mental chains?”

perhaps? More obedient? But she does say that the willingness to defy or just disappoint one’s parents is essential to emotional and intellectual freedom. Is the Class of 2012 at risk of remaining in mental chains?

The online responses to her essay are fascinating. One says that with parents paying as much as $55,000 a year for college, you bet they are going to check in. Another says this is probably a problem only at elite universities — the implication being that you needed to be a helicopter parent in the first place to get your kid into a top school. Another says parents are anxious because of the recession and feel they need to try extra hard to help kids find their place in the world.

Melissa Bares, who just finished her junior year at Stony Brook University, says she has friends with too-concerned parents who she describes as “babied.”

“They can’t even make their own schedule without checking with their parents first,” she says in an email.

Bares, a psychology major, speaks with her parents about school a couple of times a week, which seems normal to me. Both Bares and James Kim, another

Class of 2013 student at SBU, defend parental involvement, but not over-involvement.

“If a parent nags, it brings a lot of pressure,” says Kim, a double major in chemistry and Asian-American Studies.

He calls home about once a week. “If it’s the right amount of nagging, you see students excel more.”

He mentions a friend — a slacker — who could use a lot more parental oversight.

Jenny A. Hwang, who heads up mental health services at SBU, says parental involvement is crucial and can protect against alcohol and drug abuse, as well as depression and even suicide. But technology has made it so easy for parents to reach out that one of her roles is to counsel moms and dads about a healthy amount of communication.

“Parents can remain available and help students problem-solve,” Hwang says, “without responding to that pull that’s always there to make it all better.”

Castle, the English professor, cites fictional orphans — Dorothy Gale, Harry Potter, Frodo Baggins — who are heroes of their own stories, to argue that psychological distance from parents is essential for kids to grow up.

That may be true, but distance, like many things, is better in moderation.

KANSAS FOOTBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Several winners at event at LCC Former Kansas University golfer and F-16 pilot Dan Rooney has done a terrific job of using his golf connections to bring financial relief, raised awareness and scholarship money to spouses and chidren of soldiers killed or disabled in service to our country.

The centerpiece of Rooney’s “Folds of Honor” charity is a Memorial Day golf tournament. PGA touring pro Gary Woodland of KU will be among those participating in today’s thirdannual Patriot Cup at Patriot Golf Club in Tulsa, Okla.

Rooney, a major in the Air National Guard, has served three combat tours in Iraq and has been relentless in his charitable efforts.

At the Patriot Cup, each team consists of a PGA pro, two military golfers and two Folds of Honor donors.

Folds of Honor has an extra $500 headed its way, thanks to Bo Gollier’s winning a three-way putt-off Sunday at Smith Lawrence Country Club after three teams tied for the lead at the completion of the two-day, third-annual Northwestern Mutual Lady Pro-Am. Gollier and teammates Andy Arensberg, Mark Giroux, John Tacha Jr. and pro Selanee Henderson designated Folds of Honor as their charity of choice.

The LCC event featured 10 five-somes, each with a lady professional from various tours and golf clubs.

The event is open to the public every year and gives the pros a chance to test their putters on slick greens during breaks in their schedules.

First-day leader Nicole Smith, who gained fame on the Golf Channel reality show “Big Break Ireland” last fall, claimed the $1,250 first-place prize in the pro competition, following her Saturday 71 with a 76 in Sunday’s strong winds from the south.

LCC pro Kristen Samp finished second, one stroke off the pace with a two-day total of 148, and Lori Atsedes, a teaching pro in Arizona, finished third at 149.

Smith, 25, ranks third on the Symetra Tour money list, also known as the Futures Tour, from which the top money winners advance to the LPGA. Past participants in the LCC event Gerina Mendoza and Lisa Ferrero now compete on the LPGA Tour.

Smith, from Riverside, Calif., stayed with host-family volunteers John and Kathy Rathbun and said she “had a blast” on a tour of downtown and the KU campus.

“I love this town,” Smith said, who was scheduled to leave this morning for Indiana, the next stop on the tour. “I hope I can come back next year.”

At her current pace, she’ll be on the LPGA Tour.

“Even if I am, I’d like come back and play. I had so much fun,” she said. “Why not come back?”

KANSAS FOOTBALL COACH CHARLIE WEIS CALLS A PLAY during the first half of the spring game on April 28 at Memorial Stadium.

Though Weis has made a huge impact on the field, he has left an impression off it as well.

Weis making impression beyond field

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

We all know about the Notre Dame transfers, the big-time quarterbacks and the changes he made to the Kansas University football roster.

But six months after he was hired, the impact of new KU football coach Charlie Weis goes far beyond a simple reshaping of the rules and roster.

According to KU officials, season-ticket sales are up 4,000 packages from where

they were at the end of last season. The announced attendance of 15,000 for the spring game in April was larger than what KU had seen in recent years. And traffic and activity on websites and message boards specific to KU football have soared since December.

Although the increase in season-ticket sales might not knock anyone’s socks off, one KU official pointed out that it was an impressive starting point.

“We haven’t even kicked off our summer sales push yet,”

said Jim Marchiony, KU’s associate athletic director for communications.

It remains to be seen how much the push will add to that number, but this much is known: After 21⁄2 years of embarrassment, KU football has something to sell again. Weis and the Jayhawks are taking advantage of that.

With his first recruiting class scheduled to report to campus in a week, Weis used the month of May as an opportunity to get out among the people. Last week, he wrapped up a nine-

stop tour of Kansas that took him from Dodge City and Hays to Kansas City and Topeka and places in between. Everywhere he went, he was greeted with open arms and crowds of 100 to 350 KU fans and alumni, who showed up at golf courses, country clubs and athletic venues to hear Weis share his vision for Kansas. It’s a message most had heard more than once already, and it is rooted in terms such as discipline, accountability and honesty.

Franchitti wins third 500 INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Dan Wheldon couldn’t win his third Indianapolis 500. Dario Franchitti did it for him.

And if it wasn’t going to be Franchitti, then it would be Scott Dixon. Maybe even Tony Kanaan.

No matter what, one of Wheldon’s best buddies was going to Victory Lane.

In the end, they celebrated a 1-2-3 sweep that honored D-Dub, their missing friend.

Franchitti stamped his name in the record books by winning his third Indy 500 on Sunday, a day that started and ended as a tribute to Wheldon, who won the race a year ago but was killed in

an October crash in the IndyCar season finale. As his three friends lined up with six laps remaining for the final restart — Kanaan out front, Chip Ganassi teammates Franchitti and Dixon second and third — they couldn’t help but wonder if Wheldon was at play.

“Kind of like old times, the three of us back and forwards,” Franchitti said. “I thought, ‘Dan is laughing at us right now going at it.’”

It was an absolutely fitting finish, even if the elation for Franchitti’s win was tempered by the heartbreak for two other deserving drivers. Dixon, a one-time Indy

500 winner, temporarily relocated his family to St. Petersburg, Fla., to support Wheldon’s wife and two sons, and Kanaan, 0 for 11 now at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, had openly wept following the death of his former teammate.

“I think a lot of us that were close to Dan, you know, you wanted it that little bit more,” Dixon said. “I guess maybe in the back of your mind, you figured he would probably help you out today, too. I think in that situation, Michael Conroy/AP Photo seeing how it lined up with the top three, three of Dan’s DARIO FRANCHITTI CELEBRATES IN friends, it was a tough one.” VICTORY CIRCLE after winning the Indianapolis 500 — his third Indy win — Please see INDY, page 5B on Sunday in Indianapolis.

Francoeur carries K.C., 4-2

KANSAS CITY RIGHT FIELDER JEFF FRANCOEUR, LEFT, COLLIDES with second baseman Johnny Giavotella, causing Giavotella to drop a pop-up in the ninth inning. No matter. The Royals still won, 4-2, Sunday in Baltimore despite Francoeur’s error.

BALTIMORE (AP) — Jeff Francoeur had a terrific weekend, and the notoriously streaky hitter hopes the rest of the Royals will follow his success.

Francoeur had two more hits on Sunday, including a go-ahead home run, and Kansas City beat the Baltimore Orioles 4-2.

Francoeur finished 7-for12 in the three-game series.

In his last 14 games, he is batting .379 with all five of his home runs this season, two of them on this trip to Baltimore.

“I think you’re starting to see us all kind of get in a groove, which I think we all thought we’d do this year sooner rather than later,” he said.

“

I think you’re starting to see us all kind of get in a groove, which I think we all thought we’d do this year sooner rather than later.”

— Kansas CIty’s Jeff Francoeur Kansas City won two consecutive games for the first time since a four-game winning streak from May 12-15.

“I think we knew it was time to kind of get going here,” Francoeur said.

Billy Butler also homered and Alcides Escobar had two hits. Butler had home runs in successive games for the

Royals, but was happiest for Francoeur.

“Frenchie is going through one of the better stretches I’ve seen anybody go through. I hope he can sustain it,” Butler said.

K.C. had superb relief pitching in the last two games.

They limited the Orioles to four singles in 72⁄3 innings.

Tim Collins (2-0) was the winner with 11⁄3 perfect innings in relief of starter Luke Hochevar.

Collins, Kelvin Herrera, Jose Mijares, Aaron Crow and Jonathan Broxton combined to limit the Orioles to one hit in the final 41⁄3 innings. Broxton closed for his 10th save in 12 chances.

Roddick sent packing in French opener PARIS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Easy to understand why Andy Roddick never enjoyed playing on red clay all that much.

First and foremost, the footing is tricky as can be. The soft courts take his booming serves and forehands down a notch, too. Put simply, his game is built for hard or grass courts.

As if that werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough, he arrived at this French Open hav-

ing played only 16 matches in a season interrupted by injuries to his right hamstring and right ankle.

If Roddick was tempted to sit out Roland Garros altogether â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or tempted to use his health or rust as an excuse for playing poorly â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he did not. The 26thseeded American, once ranked No. 1 and once a Grand Slam champion, gave it a shot and

came up short Sunday, exiting in a major tournamentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opening round for the first time since 2007, and at the same venue.

His 6-3, 6-3, 4-6, 6-2 loss to 88th-ranked Nicolas Mahut at the French Open dropped Roddickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s record to 7-10 this season, 0-4 on clay. Of the seven previous major title winners in action on Day 1 in Paris, including Venus Williams in her first Grand

MU wins Big 12 crown OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; With Missouri just one strike away from winning its first Big 12 championship, there was no way coach Tim Jamieson could feel comfortable.

He had been this close before â&#x20AC;&#x201D; painfully close â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the title slipped away both times.

And this was his last chance, with the Tigers getting ready to start chasing Southeastern Conference crowns next season.

Even when it was over and Missouri had beaten Oklahoma 8-7 on Sunday, getting the final out when a runner was hit by a batted ball and then tagging out another at the plate just in case, he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure if it was finally time to celebrate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I saw the out at the plate and then I looked up and I saw both umpires (holding up their fists), so at that point, I was a little bit worried about, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Did we do something?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how it goes here,â&#x20AC;? Jamieson said.

The Tigers had been within one strike of winning the Big 12 tournament in 2004 and last season, and Jamieson recalls looking over his shoulder both times to see officials with championship hats and T-shirts waiting to be passed out.

This time, he paced in the dugout when pinch-hitter Chase Simpson got two strikes on him and grabbed a bottle of water and sat down after the next two pitches were balls. He checked twice to see if there was anyone holding championship gear, and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see anyone.

After 24 years of trying â&#x20AC;&#x201D; six as an assistant coach and 18 as the head coach â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he finally got to see his players celebrate with black-and-white caps and bright gold T-shirts stamped â&#x20AC;&#x153;Big 12 Champions.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We talked about it a lot over the summer, all the guys that went through it last year, just knowing that the seniors had one more chance and Coach J had one more chance to come down here and be able to get a ring and be able to come win a conference championship,â&#x20AC;? said catcher Ben Turner, who had two singles and two RBIs. The final out came when Simpsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grounder into right field hit off Caleb Bushyhead as he ran from first to second. Pinch-runner Dustin Dishman continued running and Dane Opelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s throw from right field arrived in time for him to be tagged out before he reached home plate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I saw it hit him right on the leg. I was freaking out,â&#x20AC;? Turner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought I saw somebody call it, so I just figured Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d catch it and tag the guy. Then I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what happened.â&#x20AC;?

Sixth-seeded Mizzou dogpiled on the infield and dumped a cooler of water on Jamieson to celebrate its first baseball title since winning the Big Eight under Gene McArtor in 1980.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also the third conference title for Missouri in its final Big 12 season â&#x20AC;&#x201D; along with the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball and wrestling titles. The Tigers had previously won only four postseason conference titles since the Big 12 was formed in 1996. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had a lot of those at Missouri and we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had any in baseball, so it meant a lot,â&#x20AC;? Jamieson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been so close â&#x20AC;&#x201D; right there â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and we finally got over the hump.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s special in so many different ways because we struggled this year, we had a lot of ups and downs. But you knew it was there, and it came together at the right time.â&#x20AC;?

Slam match since revealing in August she was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, only Roddick was beaten.

The other past major champions who won Sunday were Juan Martin del Potro, Juan Carlos Ferrero, Sam Stosur, Ana Ivanovic and Svetlana Kuznetsova.

Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s schedule includes Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, Victoria Azarenka and Li Na.

ZACH JOHNSON WATCHES HIS TEE SHOT on the first hole during the final round of the PGA Colonial on Sunday in Fort Worth, Texas.

Zach Johnson claims Colonial title by stroke FORT WORTH, TEXAS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Zach Johnson was so caught up in the emotion of another Colonial title and a victory in honor of his caddieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s late father that he forgot to properly remark his ball before his final putt.

Even with a two-stroke penalty, Johnson won by one over Jason Dufner and got to slip on the plaid jacket Sunday for his first victory since also winning at Hoganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alley two years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a number of adjectives Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m calling myself right now. And lucky would be the biggest one,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blessed would be another one, humbled would be another one.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an honor to put this jacket on once. ... Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in shock I got it twice.â&#x20AC;?

Johnson moved his original ball mark out of the line of Dufnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s putt on the 18th green. But he never moved it back before his final 5-foot putt.

The penalty was assessed before he signed his scorecard, and Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 12-under 268 total was enough to edge Dufner, who finally faltered and closed with a 74.

Johnson had already shared celebratory hugs and kisses with his two young sons and done a winnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s television interview before caddie Damon Green, prompted by a rules official, asked the 2007 Masters champion if he had put his ball back in its original spot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;First time it crossed my mind,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going to be the last time.â&#x20AC;?

The victory came 10 days after Greenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 88-year old father died from stomach cancer.

After Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s runner-up finish at The Players Championship two weeks ago, the caddie drove to Pensacola, Fla., to see his father. But Damon Green was ready to get back on the course this week.

It is the eighth PGA Tour victory for Johnson, who won $1,152,000 even as his record streak of 15 consecutive under-par rounds at Colonial ended.

GOLF

Donald wins, moves up to No. 1 VIRGINIA WATER, ENGLAND â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Luke Donald replaced Rory McIlroy at No. 1 in the rankings for the third time in 10 weeks, successfully defending his title in the BMW PGA Championship. It also lifted his hopes of finally capturing a major at the U.S. Open next month.

Displaying his trademark consistency with his driver and putter, Donald won the biggest event on the European Tour by four strokes. The Englishman shot a 4-under 68 at Wentworth on Sunday for his fourth straight round under 70, leaving him at 15 under.

It was Donaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second victory of the year, following one at the Transitions ChampionDonald ship in March on the PGA Tour.

Last year at Wentworth, he took the top spot in the world from Lee Westwood when he beat Westwood in a playoff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something sweet about going 12 months and still being No. 1,â&#x20AC;? Donald said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an indication that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m doing the right things.â&#x20AC;?

Chapman senior winner BENTON HARBOR, MICH. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Roger Chapman has won the Senior PGA Championship, holding on for a two-stroke victory after leading comfortably throughout the final round Sunday.

Chapman led by five after 54 holes and was never really threatened Sunday. His closing 1-over 72 was his worst score of the tournament â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but it was enough to give the Englishman a win at the major championship.

NFL

Lions DT Fairley arrested TILLMANâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S CORNER, ALA. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Detroit Lions defensive tackle Nick Fairley has been arrested in Alabama on charges of driving under the influence and attempting to elude police, his second arrest in his home state in two months.

Alabama state troopers say the 24-year-old passed a state trooper early Sunday morning at 100 mph in his Cadillac Escalade in unincorporated Mobile County. After initially refusing to stop for the trooperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s emergency lights and siren, Fairley pulled over and seemed impaired.

He was arrested without incident.

AUTO RACING

Webber 6th F1 winner this year MONACO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; If Mark Webberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s victory in the Monaco Grand Prix from the pole position came as no surprise given the nature of the track, the Australianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s triumph Sunday still made Formula One history and left the championship even more wide open after six races.

For the first time, a different driver has won each of the six opening races.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s some contrast to last season, when Sebastian Vettel was coasting to the title after winning five of the first six and Red Bull was crushing Ferrari. That hardly captured the imagination of racing fans, but this season is turning out to be a golden one for F1.

SOCCER

U.S. women add 6 newcomers CHICAGO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Sydney Lerouxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spectacular start earned her a trip to London.

Leroux, who has seven goals in just nine appearances with the U.S., was one of six newcomers on the 18-woman roster for the London Olympics announced Sunday. Leroux is the only player on the squad who wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t on the U.S. team at last summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s World Cup, where the Americans lost to Japan on penalties in the title game. She also is the youngest player on the team at 22.

Joining Leroux as first-time Olympians are Alex Morgan and Megan Rapinoe, key members of that World Cup team, and Kelley Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hara, Amy LePeilbet and Becky Sauerbrunn. Rapinoe had the assist on Abby Wambachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thunderous header that forced overtime in the quarterfinals against Brazil. After scoring two goals in Germany as a second-half substitute, Morgan has forced her way into Sundhageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s starting lineup with 12 goals in her first 11 games of this year, along with seven assists.

Wambach returns to the Olympic squad after missing the Beijing Games due to a broken leg.

Eight years ago, she scored the winning goal in the final against Brazil.

KU track adds 6 to NCAAs J-W Staff Reports

KANSAS FOOTBALL COACH CHARLIE WEIS SIGNS AN AUTOGRAPH for Ivan Valdivia, Shawnee, following the spring game on April 28 at Memorial Stadium.

Weis CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

“He’s a no-nonsense kind of guy, it sounds like, and he said that discipline is going to be a primary focus there, and he’s not putting up with any garbage,” said Jim Trower, president of Salina’s chapter for the KU Alumni Association. “His quote was, ‘(Fans) don’t want dirt bags on the team, and he doesn’t want dirt bags on the team, either,’ and that kind of resonated with me.

I had several people mention to me that they really liked that.”

It was not just what Weis said that made Jayhawks across Kansas feel like the program was headed in the right direction once again.

“I think coach (Mark) Mangino came out once,” Trower said. “I can remember Glen Mason coming out once. So to have coach Weis come out to Salina in the first six months of his tenure there at KU is pretty exciting, and the people in Salina were pretty fired up to hear that he was going out of his way to come out to all of the communities in Kansas. I just liked the whole attitude. They started way out west and went east, and that’s not normal. They normally hit the big cities first and go to the little cities second.”

Although the idea for the tour seemed a lot like something a savvy marketing director might cook up in his office, it wasn’t.

“What was most meaningful to me was that Charlie came to me in February with this idea that he wanted to get out around the state and meet people wherever we wanted him to go,” said KU athletic director Sheahon Zenger, who joined Weis at all of the stops. “He said, ‘I don’t care if it’s three stops a day, whatever works, I’m yours.’”

Up to that point, Weis’ focus had been entirely on football. From this point on, it again will be about football. But for the month of May, it was about the people and the relationships both he and Zenger believe are crucial to making Kansas football competitive again.

“Coach Weis has done

an awesome job early of getting out to the most important areas of our state,” said Heath Peterson, assistant VP for alumni and student programs at the KU Alumni Association.

“He’s really blanketed the state and has shown that he understands the importance of connecting with fans and alumni throughout Kansas. I think a lot of people were waiting to form an opinion on this hire until they met coach Weis. And, now that more have, far and away what I heard was that people were blown away by him, and they’re excited for his brand of football.”

Weis has that affect on people. Although he says he’s not super-comfortable talking in front of crowds, you’d never know it from watching and listening. He’s engaging, humorous and honest. That led those who met him in May to feel even more of a genuine connection to him.

“I know I appreciated the way and candor with which he answered questions,” said one alum who attended the Garden City function. “We don’t see those guys out here very often, and it was very cool to see that he didn’t just regurgitate the sameold coach-speak answers when he was here.”

Another alumnus who attended the event in Dodge City said it was clear that Weis and Zenger were “two peas in a pod” and added that having those two men in charge of KU football gave him hope for the future.

That’s what the tour was about, and, really, what Weis’ first six months in Lawrence were about.

Weis believes he can create a winner here, but more importantly, he believes there’s a right way to do it. The groundwork is laid, and the structure is in place. It’s football season in Lawrence again.

“I want to make sure everybody understands that this was an old-fashioned, go-out-and-meetthe-people effort,” Zenger said. “This was not about campaigning or anything like that. This was just an old-fashioned meet-andgreet. Charlie and I both understand what our job is today and going forward. This is rebuilding the Kansas football program, and it’s going to be one brick at a time.”

Sporting KC slips past San Jose, 2-1 KANSAS CITY, KAN. (AP) — C.J. Sapong broke a seven-match goal drought, and Kei Kamara scored his team-leading fifth goal and added an assist to help Sporting Kansas City beat the San Jose Earthquakes 2-1 on Sunday.

Sporting (8-3-1) broke a four-match winless streak.

Simon Dawkins scored in the 72nd minute for San Jose (8-3-3), cutting it to 2-1.

Kamara set up Sapong’s fifth-minute goal with a long cross from the right flank, with Sapong finishing with his left foot from 7 yards for his fourth goal of the season.

In the 39th, left back

Michael Harrington took a cross-field pass from right back Chance Myers, then fed the ball in to Kamara for a bouncing header past goalkeeper Jon Busch.

Harrington was a 23rdminute substitute for Seth Sinovic, who fell over the end boards and sustained a cut on his left hand that required 20 stitches. Sinovic was already playing with his broken right hand in a cast.

San Jose was without its two leading scorers, with Chris Wondolowski (11 goals) on international duty and Steven Lenhart (five goals) suspended for yellow-card accumulation, but still made the game close.

AUSTIN, TEXAS — Six additional Kansas University track and field athletes earned trips to the NCAA Outdoor Championships during the NCAA West Preliminary late Saturday at Myers Stadium.

Qualifying for KU on Saturday were: Paris Daniels in the 200 (23.09 seconds), Mason Finley in the discus (187 feet, 1 inch), Andrea Geubelle in the triple jump (466, wind-aided), Elena Krechyk in the hammer (223-10), Josh Munsch in the 1,500 (3.45.11) and the men’s 4X400 relay team of Kyle Clemons, Michael Hester, Michael

Spurs strike first in West opener SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Gregg Popovich wanted some “nasty.” The San Antonio Spurs obliged, and they’ve now tied NBA history.

Not to mention left the Oklahoma City Thunder agonizing about what could have been.

Manu Ginobili scored a playoff-high 26 points and the Spurs won their 19th in a row to tie the NBA record for longest winning streak kept alive in the playoffs, beating the Thunder 101-98 in the Western Conference finals opener on Sunday night.

Obeying orders snarled by their coach in a fourthquarter timeout to play “nasty,” the Spurs erased a nine-point deficit that stunned the Thunder, who had looked on their way to finally kicking the perception that they’re the underdog.

Kevin Durant led the Thunder with 27 points.

Russell Westbrook had 17.

“I talked to them about they’ve got to get a little bit uglier, get a little more nasty, play with more fiber and take it to these guys,” Popovich said. “Meaning you have to drive it, you have to shoot it.”

And when they started doing just that, the Thunder couldn’t keep up.

The 2001 Lakers are the only other team to carry a winning streak this long in the playoffs — and they did so on their way to a championship.

Game 2 is Tuesday night.

The Spurs matched the fourth-longest streak in

OKLAHOMA CITY POWER FORWARD NICK COLLISON, LEFT, GRABS A REBOUND as Spurs center Tiago Splitter defends during the second half of Game 1 in their NBA basketball Western Conference finals playoff series. The Spurs won, 101-93, Sunday in San Antonio.

NBA history, and with one more will become just the fourth team to surpass 20.

Tim Duncan had 16 points and 11 rebounds, and Tony Parker shook off a dismal start to finish with 18 points. But it was Ginobili who steered the Spurs to strike first in a highly anticipated matchup of the West’s top two teams for practically the entire regular season.

“They got us on our heels. We were not aggressive,” Ginobili said.

“And in the second half, we did have it.”

On the other end, Okla-

homa City’s own Big Three struggled to find its shot early before awakening in the second half. Yet Westbrook still finished just 6 of 15 and took a nasty, face-first spill late in the fourth that had the entire Thunder bench crossing the court to check on their All-Star point guard underneath the opposite basket.

Westbrook appeared to favor his left leg when he got up, but he never left the game.

It was a tantalizingly close near-upset for the young Thunder, who were

ousted in the Western Conference finals a year ago and were in position for home-court advantage throughout the playoffs until being overtaken by the Spurs in the final month of the season.

But it was a fittingly close opener for two franchises with so many similarities.

That includes Thunder general manager Sam Presti — the architect of the Thunder’s rapid turnaround from a 23-win season to consecutive Western Conference finals in just four years — getting

his big break in the NBA as intern in San Antonio.

And the Thunder didn’t even need their own Big Three to keep things close.

Durant, Westbrook and Harden at one point through the second quarter were 5 of 21 — a typically ominous stat line for a trio that had been responsible for nearly 70 percent of Oklahoma City’s points through the playoffs so far.

But for all the talk about San Antonio’s superior bench, it was the Thunder’s reserves who picked up the slack.

None more so than Derek Fisher, whose famous game-winner for the Lakers on this same court in the 2004 playoffs has made “0.4 seconds” a phrase that needs no further explanation to the Spurs. Eight years later, and the oldest player in this series at 37, Fisher already met his playoff average at halftime and finished with 13 points.

Kahne keeps Hendrick rolling CONCORD, N.C. (AP) — Welcome to the Hendrick family, Kasey Kahne.

Kahne pulled away to victory in the Coca-Cola 600 on Sunday night, winning NASCAR’s longest race for the third time and gaining his stripes for Hendrick Motorsports the only way that matters — taking the checkered flag.

Kahne wondered earlier this year when that might happen.

The self-imposed pressure grew this week before Charlotte Motor Speedway at a party Hendrick threw to celebrate the owner’s 200th career win Jimmie Johnson earned at Darlington Raceway two weeks back. Kahne was introduced as part of the current team — after the 15 drivers who won races for Hendrick took a bow.

Kahne said the gathering showed him what Hendrick has meant to the sport — and how much he wanted to add to that legacy.

“It’s something I’ve been looking forward to

Indy CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

Franchitti won a wheelto-wheel, last-lap battle, sailing away to the checkered flag when Takuma Sato spun out trying to make one last pass on the inside and slammed into the wall.

The race had shaped into what was expected to be a duel to the finish between Franchitti and Dixon. But when the Scot made his final pass of Dixon with two laps to go, he pulled Sato with him and it sapped Dixon’s momentum.

So the last-lap pass attempt was Sato’s for the taking, and he couldn’t pull it off as he hugged the inside white line through Turn 1.

His wheels appeared to touch Franchitti’s, he spun hard into the wall, and Franchitti sailed past for

KASEY KAHNE POSES WITH THE TROPHY in victory lane after winning the NASCAR Coca-Cola 600 Sprint Cup race Sunday in Concord, N.C. for a long time,” Kahne said.

And it was a popular triumph. Teammate Jeff Gordon rushed up to hug Kahne and told him, “Proud of you.”

Hendrick saw that Kahne and crew chief Kenny Francis were frustrated by their early struggles when their best finish was a 14th in California.

“You could see it was

bothering him,” Hendrick said. “I tried to reassure him that we’re in this for the long haul.”

Things began to click soon after, and Kahne entered the week with five straight top-10 finishes.

What a roll for Hendrick Motorsports. The program was stuck on 199 victories since October. Then came Johnson’s milestone win at Darling-

the win — this one, just like the first two, under caution.

Dixon crossed the finish line in second, and Kanaan was third.

“Everybody up there was a friend of Dan’s, and that about sums it up.

Everybody loved him,” Franchitti said as bagpipes played over the public address system.

“What a race! What a race!” Franchitti said. “I think D-Dub would be proud of that one.”

Dixon met his teammate in Victory Lane, and Franchitti was reminded of the delicate balance in celebrating a team win vs. beating a teammate.

“I want to beat Scott. I know he wants to beat me.

I don’t think I’ve met maybe a more competitive individual, except maybe Dan in the early years,” Franchitti said. “He’s my buddy. Out on the track, he’s competition, but a teammate, and then afterward he’s my friend. I see the disappointment in his

face. I see the disappointment in T.K.’s face.

“I think both those guys will get more championships and Indy wins.

They’re just too good not to. When you beat guys like that, I take that as a big accomplishment because, God, they’re not easy to beat.”

Kanaan, who used a bold move on a late restart to dart from fifth to first, couldn’t hold off Franchitti and Dixon on the last restart. He was OK with the final result.

“I don’t think it could have been a better result for Dan,” Kanaan said.

“Wherever he is right now, he’s definitely making fun of Sato, I can tell you that, and he’s giving Dario a tap on the back for sure, and he was going to call me a wanker that I didn’t win this thing.

“I’m glad this is over.

I’m glad that now I hope we can all move on and just remember Dan the way Dan was — a happy guy, a wonderful friend.”

ton. The five-time champion followed that with a victory in the All-Star race at Charlotte last week.

Kahne led four Hendrick cars in the top 11.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. was sixth and Gordon was right behind in seventh — only his third top 10 finish of the year. Johnson came in 11th. He was vying for more but fell from contention with a mistake on the final pit stop as he left the stall with his gas can still engaged, dragging his crew member behind.

Johnson was docked with a stop-and-go penalty that ended his chances at winning a third straight week.

“I think we’re showing the consistency from all of our teams,” Hendrick said. “I can’t wait for the second half of the season.”

Kahne crossed the finish line nearly five seconds ahead of Denny Hamlin.

Kyle Busch was third and series points leader Greg Biffle fourth.

It was Kahne’s 13th career win and first since last November in Phoenix.

BASEBALL FANS PURCHASE LOCALLY BREWED BOULEVARD BEER in this file photo from the May 20 game between the Kansas City Royals and the Arizona Diamondbacks at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.

Craft beers proving to be a hit at ballparks KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — It used to be that baseball fans would head for the concourse to grab a beer between innings, a cold one as much a part of America’s pastime as hotdogs and Cracker Jack.

Now they file up the aisles in search of Belgianstyle pale ale.

During a period of decline in overall beer consumption, the market for craft brews is rapidly expanding, and the trend is evident at ballparks from coast to coast. Many stadiums offer upward of 60 varieties, everything from Budweiser and Coors Light to Henry Weinhard’s IPA. In the mood for a porter, with a hint of chocolate and caramel? Ask for a Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald at the Irish pub inside Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia.

Taste trending toward Scottish ale? Order up Erie Brewing Company’s Railbender Ale at PNC Park in Pittsburgh, one of the most beer-friendly ballparks in baseball.

Looking for something with a cloudy appearance and citrusy flavor? You can find Boulevard’s Unfiltered Wheat at stands throughout Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City.

“Every market is different,” said Bob Sullivan, vice president of sales and marketing for Boulevard Brewing Company. “But what you’re seeing now is that stadiums are saying, ‘We really need to carry the local beers.’ People pay a lot of money for their season tickets, and there’s some obligation

Royals CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

With two outs in the ninth, J.J. Hardy hit a short fly. Francoeur came in from right field and converged with second baseman Johnny Giavotella, who dropped the ball for an error that allowed Hardy to reach second. Nick Markakis struck out to end the game.

“We’ve got guys with some pretty electric stuff,” Butler said.

Baltimore’s Adam Jones, whose six-year, $85.5 million contract extension was officially announced before the game, extended his career-long hitting streak to 18 — longest in the majors this season — with a fifth-inning double.

The Orioles have lost five of seven.

Brian Matusz (4-5) had a three-game winning streak broken. He allowed three earned runs and seven hits in six innings.

Francoeur hit a leadoff home run in the sixth that put Kansas City ahead 3-2.

to give them what they want.”

The big breweries still rule the ballpark — Miller Park and Busch Stadium, anyone? They have the unique ability to spend lavishly on marketing: billboards inside and outside the gates, subway cars on the way to Yankee Stadium, television and radio spots during a broadcast.

Smaller brewers simply can’t compete.

Then there’s the fact that Anheuser-Busch and Major League Baseball renewed their exclusive sponsorship deal in 2010, making Budweiser the league’s official beer.

Yet the groundswell of support for premium, often-kitschy, sometimes expensive and usually irreverent brands has been heard loud and clear by baseball’s establishment.

“There’s been a shift, a cultural shift, in the beer culture in the U.S. No longer does a light American lager satisfy every occasion,” said Julia Herz, craft beer program director for the Brewers Association, an organization made up of more than 1,400 brewery members.

The Brewers Association documents 140 beer styles worldwide, Herz said, and the United States is the most diverse destination globally, with 13,000-plus beer labels in the marketplace.

In the past, the Royals had limited their beer category to two sponsors, and they ended up going to the highest bidders. Companies such as Boulevard couldn’t com-

“He’s just hot right now, swinging the bat really well. He’s got a good eye for the plate, battles with two strikes. Fouls a lot of pitches off and makes the pitches work. He’s just hot and was able to connect,” Matusz said.

Butler hit a long, arcing home run to left field in the first off Matusz. The Orioles tied it in the bottom half on a single by

pete with heavyweights such as MillerCoors and Anheuser-Busch, so even though Boulevard was able to offer its brews at the ballpark, it became a scavenger hunt for fans trying to locate the taps.

That changed this year, when the Royals decided to extend to more than two partners.

“I’d say in the last six or seven years, the overall concessions business has become much more sophisticated than in the early days, when it was a hotdog, a beer and popcorn,” said Mike Bucek, the Royals’ vice president in charge of marketing and business development.

Earlier this season, when the Royals announced the branding of the new “Budweiser Patio,” they also announced the new Boulevard Pub and Boulevard Grill, where fans in Kansas City can grab a seat and catch the game while also enjoying their local beer.

It doesn’t take long to notice Boulevard’s expanded presence, either.

While there’s a big sign for Budweiser in right field at Kauffman Stadium, and a large sign for Coors Light in center, Boulevard’s new sponsorship means it has its own sign beyond the left-field wall.

“We’ve seen a growth in craft beer sales, there’s no question,” Bucek said.

“When you see the category grow, there’s so much more to offer. It’s pretty broad-based compared to what it was back in the day, and it’s definitely evolving and continuing to grow.”

Hardy and an RBI double

by Markakis.

In the second, Francoeur hit a sinking liner to center field that Jones mishandled. It was ruled a single and an error. With one out, Escobar lined a ball off second baseman Robert Andino’s glove for a single. Mitch Maier bunted to Matusz, and Francoeur scored on the safety squeeze for a 2-1 lead.

Baltimore tied it in the fourth when Andino, who reached on a fielder’s choice with one out, stole second and advanced to third on catcher Humberto Quintero’s throwing error.

Xavier Avery, who had been in a 2-for-22 rut, hit an RBI single.

The Royals broke the 2-all tie in the sixth when Francoeur led off with a home run to left field that was barely fair. It was his fifth home run of the season, all on the road. With one out, Escobar singled, and he scored on Quintero’s RBI double.

“We didn’t do much after the fifth there. That was the story. They made us pay for whatever mistakes Brian made.”

Memorial Day honors nation’s military

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

Dear Annie: A few years ago, on Memorial Day, you printed the words to Taps. Very few people actually know the history of this melody.

Until the Civil War, there was a bugle call known as Lights Out or Extinguish Lights. The melody was a variation of a common military tune called a tattoo, and was written by Maj. Gen. Winfield Scott and first published in 1835. Union Gen. Daniel Butterfield, who could not read music, adapted

the tune for his brigade in 1862 with the help of his brigade bugler, Oliver Norton. This adaptation became known as Taps.

Later that year, Capt.

John C. Tidball started the custom of playing Taps at a military funeral. A corporal in his unit died, and Tidball wanted to bury him with full honors, which included a three-gun salute, but his request was denied due to the closeness of the enemy positions. Instead, he decided to play Butterfield’s version of

anniesmailbox@comcast.net

Hemingway story is a torrid affair As ambitious as it is old-fashioned, “Hemingway & Gellhorn” (8 p.m., HBO) recalls the tempestuous love affair between novelist Ernest Hemingway (Clive Owen) and magazine war correspondent Martha Gellhorn (Nicole Kidman). Concentrating on the years between the Spanish Civil War and World War II, the story takes them from Hemingway’s harddrinking life in Cuba to the front lines of Spain, Russia’s invasion of Finland, meetings with both sides in China’s civil war and the invasion of Normandy in 1944.

The film’s impressive cast members come and go rather quickly. Tony Shalhoub does an excellent job of shedding his “Monk” whimsy to play a Russian agent in Spain who literally executes Stalin’s orders to purge leftists not loyal to the USSR. David Strathairn plays novelist John Dos Passos, an early enthusiast for the Spanish Republican cause who grew disillusioned by Moscow’s machinations and the willingness of some (including Hemingway, here) to accommodate them. Look for Robert Duvall (in an uncredited role) as a Soviet army officer.

To say Kidman and Owen don’t share much chemistry is unfair, since both Hemingway and Gellhorn sport massive egos and insecurities that leave little room for intimacy. Any treatment of Hemingway’s garrulous persona is going to border on parody. Here, we see his excesses through Gellhorn’s eyes, as she moves from infatuation to disenchantment.

But during their time together, they shared quite a few near-death experiences, as well as moments of earth-moving ardor, presented with great gusto in this effort. If there was some special Emmy Award for depicting life during wartime and sex during bombardment, this film would surely win it.

Kevin Costner and Bill Paxton star in “Hatfields & McCoys” (8 p.m., History), a six-hour epic running over three nights. An expensive-looking effort, “Hatfields” traces the Civil War origins of a murderous family feud that would take nearly a century to extinguish.

Some will admire its cinematic ambitions. Others will recoil at its graphic violence and the prospect of watching unwashed and uneducated folks blowing each other’s brains out for six hours.

Taps. The new bugle call quickly spread to other units, and it became a standard component of U.S. military funerals in 1891.

Butterfield died in 1901, and Taps was played at his funeral. No one knows who wrote the words, but I’d appreciate it if you could print them again. — New York History Buff

Love, good night,

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Monday, May 28: This year you stay calm and centered. Look at the expectations you put on yourself; they might differ from what others expect from you.

If you are single, you meet someone quite important to your life history.

If you are attached, you feel loved.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) A vague sense of uncertainty could weave its way through your day. You do not need to let it impact your decisions or actions.

Tonight: Do for you.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Note the implicit risk of going after a certain wish. Unexpected hunches might impact your finances.

Tonight: Add fun to the mix.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Today you can be found doing mental gymnastics in order to understand others. Do not forget to tap into your feelings; otherwise, it could seem as if you’re playing an overly intellectual chess game.

Tonight: Pick up the phone and have a long-overdue discussion.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) If you don’t open up an issue for discussion, you might never get it resolved or get feedback. It is fine to work out a problem in your head, but you will not get someone else’s perspective that way. Tonight: Talk over dinner.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Be smart when handling your finances. Do not get involved in someone else’s theory or idea. Tonight: Do some personal shopping.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might feel on top of the world, but you could be wear-

jacquelinebigar.com

ing rose-colored shades that are distorting reality. A child or loved one appears to be changing in front of your very eyes. Tonight: Knowing the world is your oyster, what would you go for?

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You are a skilled diplomat following your intuition, and if your instincts suggest you do little, do just that. Tonight: Get as much R and R as possible.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You probably are the organizer of the Memorial Day party or get-together. Curb your innate nervousness by spending some quality time with a special friend who always helps you relax.

Tonight: Expect fireworks.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You feel as if you could take the world on. Wherever you go, you run into friends and enjoy yourself. Tonight: Enjoy the admiration.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Reach out for someone you have cared about for a long time. It is not important that you are with this person — just enjoy catching up on his or her news. Tonight: Let the party go on.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Clearly someone demands all your attention, yet you seem to be able to accomplish a lot in a little amount of time. Use care when handling someone’s money. Tonight: A long-overdue and caring talk.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You see what you want to see, and nothing more. This trait of late might help or level out a difficult situation. Tonight: Let someone else steal the limelight.

— The astrological forecast should be read for entertainment only.

CHEAPLY FRAME FABRIC ART

I

love going to estate sales. Not only are there interesting finds and great deals, but often you get a glimpse of the person’s personality and interests by what they’ve accumulated.

At an estate sale in Topeka, I found some paintings on fabric that I thought were interesting enough to take home with me. The more delicate ones are on silk; the one I mounted for this column is on a synthetic fabric.

When I bought the art, I wasn’t thinking about the cost of framing — that occurred to me when I got home.

I decided to stretch them on frames like canvas; I chose the wooden frame pieces that you assemble yourself, which are cheap, and you can customize the frame size. You can find the frame pieces in art supply stores.

Because the paintings are translucent, the frame would show through. I affixed the painting to white muslin with Stitch Witchery, a fusible fabric tape, and then stretched it.

If you don’t have any fabric paintings lying around, you can use these instructions to mount just fabric. If it’s a translucent fabric, such as organza, the instructions would be the same; if it’s opaque fabric, do step 1, then skip to step 6.

2. Cut the muslin slightly larger than the artwork, adding about 2 inches on each side.

3. Cut the fusible fabric tape to the match the lengths of each side of the artwork.

4. Lay the artwork right-side down, then lay the fusible tape along the edges.

OFFBEAT OCCUPATIONS:

Not the average 9-to-5

DJs charged with keeping life in the party

BY CHANSI LONG

I

t was his freshman year at Kansas University, and Nick Reddell needed a job.

He started working bars: cleaning toilets, sweeping floors, doing the grunt work no one wanted.

Then a local disc jockey who was making his exit spotted Reddell and pegged him for what he was: a smooth talker who could make friends with strangers. The sort of guy who could draw a crowd on a Friday night.

The DJ offered to let Reddell rent his equipment, to see if he could fill the hole he was leaving behind.

Reddell bounded forward headlong. His first gig was a 700-person party. He wasn’t trained. They put him on stage and said, “Go.” “I had a pretty good knack for playing what people wanted to hear and when they wanted to hear it,” said Reddell. “You walked out of there thinking, ‘I had a really good time and I danced a lot.’”

Reddell’s DJ career launched before Facebook had permeated everyday social life. To pull people to his events, Reddell would call everyone he knew and coax them into coming.

Reddell thought he ought to make a go at DJ-ing seriously. He recruited his friends for help.

“If you hired me as a DJ, I had a group of friends that you hired as bartenders and door guys,” said Reddell.

“We rolled as a group and worked … at different places and tried to make them a popular stop for the night.”

At first they worked places like Fatso’s and Jerseys (where Brothers is now). Later, they worked Abe and Jake’s Landing, where Reddell now has an office. The first time Reddell worked the venue, 1,500 people coursed through the doors.

After Reddell graduated KU with a communications degree, he decided to stick around. He’d developed a following. And he wanted to keep it but transition away from DJ-ing to focus on organizing the business.

Gradually, Reddell removed himself from the college scene. But he still keeps his company embedded at popular bars by hiring college-age kids. One such hire is Josh Savitt (DJ Savy), a 21-year old KU graduate student. Sav-

LAWRENCE DISC JOCKEY NICK REDDELL, owner of Reddell Productions, is pictured Thursday inside Abe and Jake’s Landing, 8 E. Sixth St. Reddell began his business 10 years ago as a student at Kansas University.

He says his company takes on about 70 weddings a year. itt became interested in DJ-ing as a sophomore in high school, when he got his first set of old-school hip-hop turntables.

Savitt and his friends DJ’ed basement parties in early college, then started promoting themselves at public venues.

“DJ-ing is a lot more than just playing music,” said Savitt. “You have to promote yourself to get into the venue — or why would a bar want to hire you if you’re not going to bring any more heads in the door?”

Networking is paramount. And networking is what Andrew Rabin (DJ Ray Ban) is good at.

Rabin approached Savitt about collaborating on a party last September. They rented the Bottleneck and promoted the event like mad. Five hundred people came.

“It was really rocking,” said Rabin. “They said it was the most tickets they’d sold in one night.”

DJ-ing is mainly fun, said Rabin and Savitt, but the crowd can get grating. If someone has a song in mind, he will ask for it a thousand times. Rabin wears a shirt that says “These DJs don’t take requests” in response.

Requests are annoying, he says, because DJs plan their sets. They’ve often got four or five songs in queue. And those songs might have a certain number of beats per minute to create the right flow.

“If the DJ doesn’t mix the beats and has a bad beatsper-minutes combination, then the entire crowd will be upset,” said Savitt. “You need to understand music, measures, beats per minute and key signature.”

Rabin has a system for building his crowd.

“You can play the top 50 songs over and over again throughout the night. But it’s more about building the people up as the night progresses and then peaking it,” said Rabin. “Some DJs do choppy waves. That’s where there’s a lot of big ups and downs. I do a rise and a fall.

I (might do) an hour set of straight bangers … when the most fun is going on. I play the top songs, the most crazy scratches … the stuff you know people love and you’re proud to show to that many people.”

Just as important as playing the right music is generating the right energy.

“Every night is a performance,” Savitt said. “You’ve got to get into it because if you’re not getting into it, the people aren’t going to get into it.”

Having a good time should come naturally, said Savitt.

“It’s a lot of fun. (You get to) do what you love while making some money doing it. It’s a good balance, it’s a good life.”

Retreat offered for writers

BY SARAH HENNING

M

ostly, writing is a solitary act, and like many lonesome endeavors, it benefits from company every now and again.

Kansas Authors Club hopes to make that a bit easier for writers from Lawrence and the surrounding area with an upcoming writing retreat, featuring informational sessions, socializing and the picturesque surroundings of a nearby lake.

The club’s District Two, which encompasses Lawrence, is putting on the retreat, which runs Friday through Sunday at the Lake Doniphan Conference and Retreat Center in Excelsior Springs, Mo. Attendees need not be members, nor do they need to be published. District Two’s president, Lawrence’s Susie Nightingale, says that to attend, all you need is a love of writing. “(After becoming president) one of my goals was to increase opportunities for writers and those interested in writing to network and build stronger relationships with each other,” says Nightingale, who expanded the 2011 retreat — the club’s first event of its kind — from a one-day workshop to a three-day event.

“Writing is a solitary activity, and socialization with other writers is crucial for

The expanded event includes sessions on fiction, nonfiction and poetry, plus cross-genre breakouts on book promotion, manuscript preparation, social networking and more.

Sessions will be taught by members and

associates for the organization, which, founded in 1904, is believed to be the longest continuous writers’ group in the country.

“For newbies, and there are many of them, we shall provide opportunities for increasing their knowledge base about

writing and for making many new friends.

The informal atmosphere at the lake will facilitate making connections,” Nightingale says. “For everyone in attendance, we shall provide a getaway from all the stresses of daily living.”

New Lawrence resident and club member Lorraine McVey says she’s very excited to get together with other writers and talk shop in an inspiring setting.

“As an aspiring author, I want to learn all I can about the craft. What better way is there to learn than to study with the best and at the same time develop friendships that last a lifetime?” says McVey, who previously was a member of Women of Words in Texas. “The members of this club are fascinating people and fun to be around. They definitely have skills to share and a person open to learning can advance their talents from just listening to them.”

Nightingale says she is hopeful nonmembers and those writers who are just getting started will have a similar experience to McVey when meeting and greeting others who love to put words on a page.

“Just knowing you are not alone and that there are others who share your passion for writing is validation for making the retreat.”

Review: ‘Me, Earl and the Dying Girl’ an addicting read

BY NAOMI GRANT

A

lthough “Me, Earl, and the Dying Girl” by Jesse Andrews was originally sent to me a while ago so I could review it, I only recently started reading it in Spanish class to show my friend that I have more important things to do than conjugate verbs for her.

Luckily, it turned out to be an exceptionally good book. It’s one of the most addicting books I’ve read in a while.

Greg Gaines is a high school senior in Pittsburgh.

(The real Pittsburgh, not the one in Kansas.) He’s always tried to maintain a low profile and be accepted by all the cliques at Benson High School, from “Middle-Class African-American Junior Sub-clique 4c” to “Senior Jewish Girl Sub-clique 2a.”

Greg pretty much gave up on making friends in middle school. Earl is the only person even close to a friend of his, but Greg describes him as more of a co-worker.

Greg’s life is thrown totally out of balance when his mom tells him that Rachel Kushner, a girl from Hebrew School, has acute myelogenous leukemia. His mom wants

him to be friendly with her and make her feel better, even though they were never really friends and haven’t talked in a long time.

So Greg, being the extremely awkward person he is, reluctantly goes over to Rachel’s house and talks about himself in between maladroit statements about her. Oddly enough, Rachel begins to enjoy his company, and they become friends.

At school, Rachel and Greg start talking, and he even sits with her and the Senior Jewish Girl Sub-clique 2a at lunch, which consists of her two friends, Anna and Naomi. (It seems as though when an author names a character Naomi, she is always mean, obnoxious or just weird. I would like to contest that.)

Madison Hartner, who is the hottest girl at Benson, according to Greg (as well as his fifth-grade crush), and “probably dates one of the Steelers or something,” also sits with them, about which he is inwardly thrilled.

After spending a lot of time with him, Rachel figures out that Greg and Earl make movies. Earl betrays their partnership by asking Rachel if she wants to watch the movies and then gives them to her.

Although both boys think the movies are terrible (but not put that nicely), Rachel gets so much joy out of them that Madison asks Greg to make one for Rachel. Greg reluctantly agrees, but only because he thinks Madison is so hot.

Greg and Earl set out unwillingly to make a movie for Rachel, but they just cannot make something good. Their final product is both of them saying a message to her.

Greg’s mom finds out about it and shows the school, which leads to a school assembly just for the viewing of the boys’ movie. For some reason that I still cannot figure out, Greg’s peers tease him relentlessly, and his life is pretty much ruined.

Being the book that “Me, Earl, and the Dying Girl” is, most of the problems eventually resolve.

But if I wrote any more, I’d ruin it, and that’s no fun.

I would recommend “Me, Earl, and the Dying Girl” to high school-aged kids who enjoy reading comedy or school stories.

Book helps family to heal after tragedy Big Springs mother finds peace in writing, speaking about daughter’s murder

FIND THE BOOK “Farewell My Free Bird” (Author Press, 2011) by Carol Noe is available at Signs of Life, 722 Mass.; The Raven Bookstore, 8 E. Seventh St.; and Amazon.com.

One brother was wracked with guilt, wondering whether he could have protected ou know from the outset that this her.

Noe struggled with wondering whether isn’t a happy tale: A 19-year-old woman is murdered in the Califor- she could have done something differently. She understood the anger other parents nia countryside.

But, from Carol Noe’s perspective, the experienced who were in her position.

“We attended meetings of Parents of story of her daughter’s life isn’t a tragedy.

“It would just be a sad story if it wasn’t Murdered Children,” she says. “I didn’t for what God did,” says Noe, resident want to be bitter.”

A couple of things kept the family toof Big Springs and author of the memoir “Farewell My Free Bird: A Mother’s gether — and the bitterness away.

Because Angela’s final moments were so ily Forever” — a book about her daughter, Angela; a book about faith; and a book violent, Noe was apprehensive about seeing her at the mortuary. She did not want about forgiveness.

The book traces Angela’s life from the to be reminded of the struggle her daughspirited 18-month-old who “rescued” ter must have endured as she fought off her baby brother by carrying him down her assailant.

Another way she reached out was “We would get our hopes up only to have them dashed when she disappeared through poetry.

“She didn’t leave very many things,” again,” Noe says.

Much of the book focuses on Angela’s Noe says, “but I found her book of poetry, troubled adolescence, decisions she made, and all I could say was ‘Thank you, Lord.’”

The poems expressed her daughter’s and Carol and Keith’s efforts to discipline her while maintaining a sense of normalcy emotional anguish, and not only did for their three sons, Carl, Travis, and Ja- they bring a deeper understanding of her son. It is clear that Angela’s life — as well daughter’s pain, but they provided the as her death — “could have torn our fam- encouragement Noe needed to write her book, a project that she and her daughter ily apart,” Noe says.

“I always knew people had pain, but I was surprised at how many of them come forward to share it.”

“Once I found them, it was like, ‘Oh yeah, sure. This is what I am supposed to do,’” Noe says. “I could hear Angela saying, ‘Go for it, Mom!’” After completing the manuscript, which included the poems Angela had written, she gave it to family members for their input.

“Each of our boys suffered in his own way, living with the idea that he could have done something,” Noe says. “After Travis read it, he understood that he could not have done anything to change what happened. Reading it set him free from his pain. … If he is the only one who benefits, then it was worth it.”

But he hasn’t been the only one helped.

Noe began to share her testimony in public, speaking to women in prison and to a group of women during a mission trip to Honduras: “If my story can help anybody, please let it help.”

Noe has been humbled at the response.

“I always knew people had pain, but I was surprised at how many of them come forward to share it,” she says. “I add them to my list of people I pray for.”

These names go in her Bible, right along

with the name of the man who murdered her daughter.

“The week after Angela’s murder, when I was thinking of him, I heard God speak,” she writes, “not in an audible voice but to my spirit … ‘There may be no one else praying for this man.’”

Initially, the thought of praying for him made her stomach churn, yet she did it out of duty.

“With time, I have realized that by my obedience to God, by praying that Angela’s murderer be set free from the chains that bind him, God was loosening the chains of bitterness and resentment that so easily could have bound my heart.”

Noe was learning about forgiveness.

“Because I forgive him doesn’t mean what he did was right,” she says, “or that there still isn’t anger and pain sometimes.”

These days, the pain comes from mourning what could have been, like when she attends weddings or baby showers. But she finds comfort in knowing what her daughter’s death has done for others.

“The joy that I have is what God did.

That is where the peace is,” says Noe. “Angela just got to go home before we did.”

Library kicks off reading program Lawrence Public Library’s summer reading program isn’t just for reading anymore.

Of course, participants will still be printing logs, reading books and winning prizes during the program, Summer in the City. But the library also plans to partner with other community organizations to fold in art, science, fitness and other programs taking place all over town.

There are three ways to participate in the program: logging the number of books you read, logging the number of hours you read or — the new one — reading books and attending events. A mad science class for children, a downtown architecture tour for teens and ballet for adults are only a few of many options.

But first, the summer kickoff party — Lawn Games and Moustaches is set for 10 a.m. to noon Saturday at the library, 707 Vt. The all-ages event will feature games, crafts, pie, lemonade, banjos and accordions. Don’t forget to wear a fake moustache (unless, of course, you have a real one).

Mainly, moustaches just make things more fun.

To find a complete Summer in the City events schedule or to print a reading log, visit www.lawrence.lib. ks.us.

Also on Saturday, the library will put on its first children’s book sale from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., which will have everything from picture books to young adult books to games and DVDs.

“Now it’s your turn, mom!”

ADVICE FOR GRADUATES Double TAKE Dr. Wes: ‘Tis the season of graduation.

A time of reflection, celebration, and sadness all rolled up together and concentrated into a walk across the stage and a party or two afterwards.

Then the real world begins. Things are over. Other things start. That’s why they call it commencement.

It’s a familiar view from my chair, sitting across from seniors and their families, desperately glad to finish the climb.

Wholly unaware they’ll come to miss it just as much.

But this year it’s been a bit more personal for me. After 12 years practicing in Lawrence, I’ve accumulated a larger number of college and high school grads than ever before, and I’ve been busy running from small, intimate pinning ceremonies for nursing students to large arena-sized events, responding to a flood of invitations from families and kids.

I find myself more deeply moved this year at the sight of young people crossing that stage. Maybe its because I’m now three years away from graduating my own senior. Or maybe I’ve just watched so many of these kids grow up from middle school through college that I take a special pride and joy in their success.

I know how difficult it is for students these days; how hard it is to make all the right decisions at all the right times, just to get to wear those disposable gowns and funny looking caps.

During finals week, I wake up with vicarious test anxiety dreams — the ones where you forgot to go to class all semester and now you have the exam. So I can’t help but get a little misty knowing what they’ve been through. They know who they are, and I want to say today in our column how proud I am of them, how proud we all are, that they have each found their way to the other side of the stage.

As is our tradition in Double Take, we

DR. WES CRENSHAW AND MIRANDA DAVIS offer our teen co-author a chance to share her commencement advice. We’ll get the joy of Miranda Davis’ work for another three months, but she no longer writes as a high school student. Miranda is now a young adult and a graduate, and I know the readers of Double Take join me in congratulating her, as we have our other friends and loved ones this season.

Miranda: To my fellow graduates this week, I offer the following thoughts: ! Be resourceful. As the price of college continues to rise, we have to draw on every resource we have. Use bikes instead of cars, take care of clothes so they last longer and make every penny go as far as it can.

For most teens, the moment when their parents announce they’re not an endless tree of money is coming soon, if it hasn’t already.

Learning how to budget from that summer job will take you a long way past August. ! Don’t get too caught up in the freedom. According to my college friends, there’s a whole lot more freedom coming to each of us. No one tells you when to go to bed, makes you study for that big test or

advises against drinking a two-liter Mountain Dew for breakfast. There will also be greater freedom in substance use or abuse.

The opportunity (and the pressure) to go out and drink will be almost endless, and many teens don’t make it past their freshman year because they partied too much and studied too little. All those decisions are now up to us. With great freedom comes great responsibility. ! Make a plan, but be flexible. Think about what you want to major in and have a loose job plan for after college, but don’t be afraid to change as you learn and develop in college. Dreams change, and hopefully you will be influenced by your new life experience. Many freshmen and sophomores change their majors in the pursuit of finding out what they want to do. Just don’t get lost as a permanent student because you can’t make up your mind. !" Enjoy yourself. College isn’t just about a degree at the end of four years; it’s about who you become on the way to that next graduation day. Try new things, get out of your comfort zone, meet new people and make a few mistakes. Appreciate every single moment, savor every new experience and don’t forget to have fun.

Want to talk more about what to do with your new graduates or how to plan if you are one? Join Dr. Wes on KCUR 89.3 at 11 a.m. Tuesday for Up to Date with Steve Kraske.

Worthwhile gap year requires a plan

BY BETH J. HARPAZ, ASSOCIATED PRESS

N

YORK — Gap years are all the rage, and the rationales are many: Take a year off between high school and college to work, travel, learn a language or skill, or volunteer.

Gap years can be “excellent opportunities for students to mature, follow a passion, or scratch an itch they’ve got, and return a year later,” said Houston Dougharty, vice president of student affairs at Grinnell College in Iowa.

But Dougharty says there are pitfalls: “I’ve also seen cases where a student has taken a gap year and not used the time effectively, and found it has not helped them either in terms of maturing or developing skills or being more ready for college.”

Organized gap-year programs can also cost as much as a year of college.

Here are some things students and parents should keep in mind when considering a gap year.

EW

DISRUPTION TO COLLEGE PLANS Many gap year students apply to college as high school seniors, then defer enrollment for a year. But not all end up back in college.

Because of that, Tulane University this year upped its nonrefundable deposit to hold a freshman spot for a year from $300 to $1,000. The university in New Orleans is also, for the first time, requiring gap-year students to fill out a separate application detailing their plans, including “what you hope to gain by deferring your admission.”

“We’ve had students taking a gap year who didn’t come back, so we really want to make sure they have a well thought-out plan and that they are fully committed to returning to college,” said Jeffrey Schiffman, Tulane’s senior associate director of admission. He says Tulane typically gets 15 to 25 gap year students in each incoming class of 1,650 freshmen and has “definitely” seen an increase in gap year requests in recent years.

According to the National Center for Education Statistics, among students graduating high school in 2003, 44 percent who went straight to college got their bachelor’s degree within six years. But among those who delayed college for a year after high school — whether to take a formal “gap year” or because of obstacles like finances or family issues — only about 15 percent had their

bachelor’s degree within six years.

Some students who start work may never resume their schooling. “It is too difficult to go into the working world and switch back into education,” said Sallie McMullin, dean of admissions at Longwood University, a state school in Farmville, Va. She urges students who work during a gap year to “keep your foot in the door at school by taking a course at a community college, because once you start making money, it’s hard to go backwards. If there’s any income involved or too much relaxation with a lot of downtime, they can’t get the study habits back again.”

PLANNING, COSTS AND RE-ENTRY Sally Rubenstone, who writes the “Ask the Dean” column for the popular CollegeConfidential.com site, says “poor planning is the biggest gap-year pitfall.”

Her advice: “Map out a careful blueprint of the year to come. Be specific. For instance, while a paying job can be a good way to fill hours, to make money for college down the road, and to possibly learn new skills, what happens at the end of the work day, when the night is still young and there is no homework to do? And if travel is on the docket, is there a realistic budget in place?”

Gap-year programs — including some that are among the most highly recommended by school administrators — can be expensive. The National Outdoor Leadership School, which teaches outdoor skills through extended backcountry trips, charges $12,000 to $19,000 for a semester, depending on location. Carpe Diem Education, which offers service programs in developing countries, charges $8,900 to $11,900 depending on location, plus airfare, for a semester.

Gap years don’t have to empty your bank account, though. Some students volunteer while living at home. Those who take part in AmeriCorps — the domestic Peace Corps — get a living allowance. Rebecca Hamm Conard, now a rising junior at Rice University in Houston, worked full time for a few months during her gap year to pay for a trip around Europe for the rest of the year.

School administrators say most students who start college after a year away have no problem picking up their coursework. Conard said she only needed a refresher in one area: “I have to admit, I retook calculus.”

BEST WEIGHT LOSS PLAN: PLANNING AHEAD

BY SARA SHEPHERD

she said; for breakfast, whole wheat toast with peanut butter or oatmeal topped with a banana.

In her effort to lead a healthier lifestyle, the menu-planning approach helped Lawrence resident Jennifer McVey, 32.

Eating breakfast at home helped her fill up, making those doughnuts at the office easier to resist. After a long day, knowing she had chicken thawing in the fridge for dinner helped her avoid fast food.

“It’s easier to stick to the plan when you already have something set up,” McVey said. “It was harder to deviate.”

T

hey say an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

For managing weight the healthy way, simply planning ahead is one of the best ways to prevent the need to “cure” unwanted pounds.

Everything from having healthy snacks on hand for Saturday’s soccer tournament to sticking to an exercise regime can benefit from a healthy dose of planning, said Anne Van Garsse of Lawrence’s Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine, who runs a clinic for overweight children and teens.

Without it, she said, “life gets in the way every single time.”

Van Garsse and other experts say the same principles apply for adults and families with children alike: Plan your meals and snacks ahead, grocery shop accordingly, find forms of exercise you enjoy, and map out where and when you’ll do them.

A WEEK’S WORTH OF MEALS

Our “hectic, American way of doing things” doesn’t always lend itself to healthy food choices, said Patty Metzler, clinical dietitian for Lawrence Memorial Hospital.

“You have to make extra efforts,” she said.

Metzler suggests sitting down once a week and planning your meals seven days out — breakfast and lunch included.

A GROUP OF SENIOR CITIZENS WORKS OUT at Holcom Park Recreation Center, 2700 W. 27th St., as part of the city’s Slimnastics program. Using the buddy system or signing up for a class can make it easier to stick with a workout program, says Jo Ellis, recreation instruction supervisor for the city of Lawrence.

Make a grocery list with everything you’ll need to have on hand, then shop.

“When you go to the market, you know exactly what you’re going to buy,” she said. “You save time, you save money, and that makes your week flow.”

At the end of a busy workday, people are tired and don’t have time to cook, much less go to the grocery store and then cook. Hitting the drive-thru starts to seem awfully appealing.

“You’ve got to have things there you can pull together quickly,” Metzler said.

Contrary to common beliefs, she said, meals don’t have to be complicated, and recipes aren’t required.

Cooking up some brown rice, tossing a hamburger or veggie burger on the grill and adding a generous helping of vegetables — even canned or frozen — makes for an easy, well-balanced meal, she said.

An equally easy meat-free option Metzler might be found eating is whole-grain noodles topped with olive oil, parmesan cheese, basil and oregano.

For lunch, try tuna salad sandwiches,

Not having healthy snacks on hand when kids are hungry — such as after school or at the end of a long day at the sports fields — is another way to find yourself with a handful of potato chips or hitting the drive-thru, kids in tow, Van Garsse said.

Don’t forget to put snacks on the list for your weekly shopping trip, she said.

Fruits, vegetables and low-fat cheese are good for after school.

And if you know you’ll be at the ballfields, for example, buy snacks that can be eaten throughout the day. That morning, pack them and take them with you.

Metzler suggested water or juice instead of sugary sports drinks. Apples, bananas, cheese sticks, whole-grain rolls or crackers, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and homemade trail mix are portable but satisfying snack options, she said.

“As adults, we are gatekeepers for what our kids eat,” Metzler said.

PLAN ON EXERCISE For McVey, a personal trainer helped her set up workouts and stick with them.

McVey worked with her trainer Monday, Wednesday and Friday. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, she did workouts her trainer had written down for her.

The accountability of having plans in writing helped encourage her not to skip workouts, McVey said. Plus, she said, “it made me feel good to look back and say, ‘You know what? I’ve done a really good job this week.’”

Jo Ellis, recreation instruction supervisor for the city of Lawrence, said finding an activity you enjoy is a good starting point for sticking to an exercise regime.

Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department offers guest passes for fitness classes, enabling you to “try it before you buy it,” she said. The city offers a variety of classes for senior citizens through children, ranging from Zumba to stationary bikes.

Planning ahead by signing up for classes or agreeing to meet a friend for a workout makes it harder to skip exercise sessions, Ellis said.

“I think the buddy system is a big thing,” she said.

Van Garsse suggests an hour of play (hard enough to elevate heart rates) daily for children.

Parents should schedule that time in advance, even if activities aren’t particularly structured — a family walk, a trip to the park or a game of pickup soccer in the backyard all fit the bill.

“It works for family togetherness time,” she said, “but it also gets everybody moving.”

BUT I DON’T HAVE TIME! When it comes to managing your weight (and your kids’), cooking at home can be a big difference-maker — and planning ahead is key.

Below, the U.S. Department of Agriculture highlights common stumbling blocks to cooking at home and ideas for getting over them. ! “I don’t have time to cook

a big meal every night; it is easier to just order out.”

Try prepping dishes the night before or in the morning; prepping the salad or the side dish can help save time after work.

Also try cooking a big meal on Sunday and then eating it as leftovers and freezing extras. Buying frozen or canned fruits and vegetables can also save prep time. ! “My family prefers to eat

out; when I cook at home, they complain.”

Changing a family pattern is difficult at first. Start by eating one more meal at home each week than you normally do. You may save calories and money!

To mix things up, try a new recipe. It’ll help keep your family excited about dinner at home. ! “I’m tired of being the

only one that cooks.”

Make cooking a family event by getting your children involved with the prep work.

Not only will they learn about healthy eating, it’s a good way to spend time together.

Or have an occasional potluck, where you invite friends and have everyone bring their favorite healthy dish.

Jump into water workouts ‘T

is the season. With Memorial Day upon us, I think we can all safely assume that a last sudden arctic blast will not be hitting us this year.

We can pack up our winter clothing and officially make the switch to tank tops and flip-flops.

Yes, it’s time. It’s time to welcome the summer season and all of the long and languid days that it promises to bring.

For just a moment, close your eyes and envision your perfect summer. Cool treats and a slower pace. Backyard barbecues and baseball games. All of the children and siblings getting along so well! Such nice thoughts!

For the realists out there, the picture expands into a more concrete form. It will be hot. And it will be humid. And you are eventually going to have to break down and put yourself in some sort of swimsuit and get thyself near some water.

Even here in landlocked Lawrence, it is going to be pretty difficult to avoid the lake, pools and numerous water park facilities that surround us.

All of this pool-hopping may keep you very busy, and you may find that the “I Have No Time To Work Out” mantra has begun to spin in your head.

But after all of our hard work and great conversations, do you really think that I would want that to happen? Of course not!

So get out your swimsuit and get ready

en who are meeting once a week to go through an aquatic workout, and they are loving it.

It is a nice change of pace from running and weight lifting for some, and for others it is a nonthreatening leap back into the world of exercise and fitness.

A day or two after our workout, we compared notes. And we felt our results in varying degrees of soreness, which made us all happy.

Aquatic workouts can truly be a great thing to add to your fitness regime this summer. Try out these moves the next time you hit the water, and have some fun!

TIPS

JENNIFER OSBORN to hit the pool for a fantastic water workout.

Water workouts offer you an ultra-effective way to tone and strengthen your body. They truly provide something for everyone, from the very fit to those suffering from joint and arthritic conditions.

Water provides natural resistance and allows you to sculpt and strengthen your body in a very controlled manner.

I’ve recently experienced the benefits of this type of workout firsthand, and it reminded me of what a great addition it is to your workout schedule.

I have a group of wonderful wom-

Wear pool shoes, apply sunscreen, hydrate and try to stay in waist-high water.

A well-fitting swimsuit is also a good idea.

Mama and baby yoga not a stretch, participants say

BY CATHY KELLY, THE SANTA CRUZ SENTINEL

S

CRUZ, CALIF. — Babies can be good yoga partners. Just ask the folks at Pacific Cultural Center’s Ashtanga Yoga Institute.

Babies live in the present moment, are flexible and like to stretch. But the Mama & Baby Yoga classes are really for the moms.

One or two volunteers attend, holding and distracting the little ones who have had their fill of a quiet yoga practice, allowing their moms to continue with the asanas, or poses.

Hannah Muse teaches the Wednesday class and Treea Clements of Ben Lomond teaches the Tuesday class.

A mother of two, Clements said she started teaching postnatal yoga in 2005 and taught prenatal yoga before that. She said she includes a “check-in” time for moms to talk about what they might be dealing with as new parents.

ANTA

“The women really bond,” she said. “We are all coming in to spiritually center and ground ourselves and to bring our bodies back to strength, flexibility and health.

It includes some powerful inner stuff.”

The Tuesday class includes time with moms sitting in a circle with the infants, moving their chubby little legs around while singing or doing gentle poses together, at times using babies as weight to accentuate a pose.

Soft music plays while the babies make baby noises.

There are lots of smiles.

Jenner Howland, who lives on the North Coast, came to a recent class with her cheeky, red-haired, 8-monthold daughter, Averly.

“I just love it; it’s something I can do with her,” Howland said. “And the first half of class we get our own yoga. I leave feeling more energetic, and it’s time for myself and time to focus on my baby and what’s really important.

“I feel more grounded, more present to my child, when I leave,” Howland said.

Olivia Hearley of Aptos, Calif., said she likes the way the class helps her regain her core strength, some of which was lost during pregnancy. She said she needs it with two young sons.

“We actually get to do yoga and get a good workout,” said Hearley, who was with her 6-month-old son, Luka.

“I like feeling strong; it’s empowering. And just being present and conscious of your breath; we can all be reminded of that more,” she said. “It’s just a really sweet thing to do with your baby.”

Teacher Clements said she is grateful to have the chance to help new moms. And the babies, she called them something to marvel at.

“For a lot of women, postpartum is not an easy transition,” Clements said. “I’m so glad to hold a space for them, to have the support this massive life change. And the spiritual aspect is important. It’s like ‘Oh, yeah, no matter what, I can remember that I embody this peaceful presence and my breath can bring me back to that.’”

“And,” she said, flashing a bright smile, “we have fun.”

{ 11 HIP BENEFIT OF SURGERY: NO MORE PAIN MONDAY, MAY 28, 2012

Editor’s note: Karrey wrote a firsthand account on joint replacement in a three-part series that was published in July 2011. This is a follow-up to that series, which is online at ljw.bz/ pco44S.

hat a difference a year makes. I know it’s cliche, but in my case it’s true.

One year ago, on May 19, I had a right hip replacement at age 40.

Seven years earlier, I was training for a half-marathon and injured my hip to the point I could barely walk.

Two years later, after doctor and physical therapy appointments, I was referred to Dr. Kelly Hendricks, an orthopedic specialist at Kansas University Hospital. He took one look at my X-rays and said that I would need a hip replacement, and he anticipated it would be within one to five years.

“You will know when you’re ready,” he said.

While most people need joint replacements because of osteoarthritis, trauma or illness, I needed one because it was congenital. My hips didn’t form correctly, and this happens in about one of every 1,000 births.

When I was 3, I had surgery on my right hip because the socket was not fully developed. I don’t remember anything but wearing the orthopedic shoes until third grade.

Growing up, I was a typical, active kid.

The only reminder was a scar from surgery.

So when Hendricks said I would need to have my left hip replaced as well, the news was pretty shocking.

By the time I decided to have the right hip replacement in March 2011, Hendricks said he could do surgery on the left or right; they were equally bad. I went with the right.

My surgery and recovery went incredibly well, and I returned to work four within five weeks. I had no more pain in my right hip, but now I really noticed the

pain in my left. There also was a slight difference in leg length — my right was longer — so between this and the pain, I still had a limp.

Hendricks said he would do the left hip replacement surgery within three months of my first, but I waited six months and had it done Nov. 15. While I was nervous, it was nothing compared to the first time because I knew what to expect. Thankfully, everything went well, and I was back to work once again within five weeks.

Since then, I’ve gotten stronger and gained more flexibility with each passing day.

Last spring, I had to lift my left leg to get in and out of my car, and it hurt to use the clutch. I leaned on shopping carts when buying groceries. I didn’t look forward to events like weddings, football games and family outings because I wondered how long I would be able to stand or sit. I managed to walk about three miles on my good days, albeit in pain.

Now, I will go on a 5-mile walk, mow the yard and go grocery shopping in one day and still will be pain free. I no longer have to depend on Aleve or other medicine to help get me through each day. I am planning my first vacation in years.

During the past year, I’ve also learned that I’m not alone.

On a recent Sunday, I met several of my “hipsta sisters” — Karen Pendleton, Laurie Comstock and Sheila Stogsdill — for dinner and chit-chat. Among the four of us, there are seven hip replacements, and six have been within the past year.

While it wasn’t planned, I had my second hip replacement on Laurie’s birthday, and Karen had her second hip replacement on my birthday. We’ve all had both hips replaced but Laurie. She jokes that she is a slacker.

While hip replacements have brought us together, we talk about much more than hips. We talk about gardening, work, children and what we can do instead of what we can’t.

Life is good again for all of us.

“I think volunteering has really helped me and my family think outside of ourselves and recognize the great need there is right here in Lawrence as well as in places as distant and Ethiopia and Peru.”

Nurse practitioner says Converse sneakers lessen patients’ anxiety

S

usan Stuever believes her shoes serve a purpose other than bridging the gap between function and form.

In fact, she would say her Converse Chuck Taylor sneakers serve a role in her work at Health Care Access, a local safety net clinic that serves uninsured community members.

“You’ve heard of ‘White Coat Syndrome’ — how people’s blood pressure goes up when they are in a doctor’s office but not elsewhere? Well, I found out I can counteract that with fun and colorful sneakers. How can your blood pressure go up when your health care provider walks in the room wearing a pair of bright red or leopard print Converse?”

Stuever, a nurse practitioner, volunteers at Health Care Access twice per week in addition to her volunteer work at the Humane Society, Jubilee Café, Young Life, Vintage Church, Fields of Promise Ethiopia and International Medical Relief in Peru.

“I think volunteering has really helped me and my family think outside of ourselves and recognize the great need there is right here in Lawrence as well as in places as distant and Ethiopia and Peru. We were created to serve, and that’s what volunteering is,” she says.

This summer, Stuever’s family, including her husband, Kevin, a physician who also practices in Lawrence, and

their three children, will travel up the coast of Peru providing free medical care with an organization called International Medical Relief. And her shoes will be there for it all.

“I have six pairs of Converse shoes, and they have traveled the world. I’m wearing my leopard print ones to the jungle in Peru this summer.”

Susan began her career in health care at Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City specializing in treatment of HIV in kids with blood disorders. After having her second child, she went on maternity leave and decided not to return to Children’s Mercy. A few years and another child later, she chose to spend the rest of her career using her skill set to serve those in need, both people and animals.

“I’m passionate about the in-need. Everything I volunteer for intertwines in a way: homeless animals, homeless people, low-income residents, it doesn’t matter.”

Since beginning to volunteer at Health Care Access 17 years ago, she has found the lack of resources to be a challenge because she has to alter the way she administers treatments.

“When I worked in a hospital, I never thought about peoples’ hospital bills because there was a social worker somewhere worrying about that. Now, every time I write a prescription I think about whether the person

Stuever and her husband have instilled their love of serving the underserved in their children as well. They have involved their children in their volunteer and mission endeavors since they were young.

“We have to teach our kids that the rest of the world doesn’t live like them. Just because we have a lot of stuff doesn’t mean we couldn’t be happy without that stuff,” she says.

Because she talks with such passion about volunteering in underprivileged countries, I asked when she and her husband would uproot and move to Ethiopia or Peru.

Fortunately for Lawrence, there are no plans to move abroad.

Why? Stuever says simply, “There’s an awful lot to be done here.”

Looking back on Memorial Day

{

M

emorial Day, originally called “Decoration Day” (not for its three-day furniture sales but for the decoration of soldiers’ graves), traces its roots back to May 1, 1865, shortly after the end of the Civil War and Lincoln’s subsequent assassination, when recently freed slaves in South Carolina and their supporters gathered in Charleston to honor Union soldiers who had perished while being held there as prisoners of war.

The ceremony was simple. Flowers and music highlighted the event, a tradition that spread rapidly in the North.

Within one generation, Decoration Day had been adopted by all northern states, with parades dating back to 1867 and early hot dogs hitting Coney Island in the 1870s before eventually making their way to grills nationwide.

Apparently still reeling from the Union victory, the South approached Decoration Day a little differently. And by “differently” I mean they refused to acknowledge it, choosing instead to honor fallen Confederate soldiers and their (lost) cause.

Within a mere 50 years or so, however, Memorial Day was celebrated with relatively more unified spirit nationally, just in time to come together to fight in World War I. Also within those 50 years, the blueprint for modern Memorial Day celebrations was laid as Heinz introduced Coney Island’s hot dog to its ketchup, French’s added yellow mustard and Anheuser-Busch began brewing its Budweiser line of beer.

The first Indianapolis 500 raced its way into the hearts of horsepower-loving Americans on Memorial Day in 1911. Ray Harroun set the record for being both the first and the slowest winner in history.

Still lightyears ahead of the horse and buggy of his ancestors, Harroun completed the 500-mile race averaging 75 mph. (The

JULIE DUNLAP

fastest winner to date traveled those 200 laps at 186 mph, a speed that would have made our trip to Yellowstone last summer infinitely more tolerable, particularly through southern Wyoming.)

Another 60 years would pass, however, before Memorial Day would come to be established as a national holiday in 1971 to commemorate those brave men and women who died defending and protecting our country. In that time, Annette Funicello and Frankie Avalon established the standard — challenged by Snooki and friends but not yet overturned — for the ultimate beach party.

With its institution, Memorial Day weekend has come to signal the opening of pool season, family vacations and the countdown to Will Smith’s annual blockbuster film.

Since the Civil War, for which Memorial Day was originally created, millions of Americans have given up their lives in combat, and over a million more stand ready, right now as you read this, to do the same in spite of our 50 shades of passion for acronyms (omg!), Twinkies and reality TV. And for them, I could not be more grateful.

Dedicated to the brave who, for centuries, have kept us living in the land of the free.

ack in the good old days, it was common practice to coat the threads of a screw with a little beeswax before installing it to facilitate the screw’s removal at a later date.

Then and now, with or without beeswax, screws get stuck, and it often takes ingenuity as well as elbow grease to get them unstuck. ! For applications where the screw is seated into a metal screw hole, soak the area with a high quality penetrating oil, such as PB Blaster. Allow the oil to penetrate for as little as several minutes or as long as 24 hours. Often a second or third application of penetrating oil coupled with an extended waiting time will break the bond between metals and allow for easy removal of the screw. ! Try a bigger screwdriver or a smaller screwdriver. A larger screw driver may grab the edges of the stripped screw, or a smaller screwdriver may seat down into the screw head far enough to lock itself into place. ! Try holding the screwdriver at a slight angle, pressing into the side of the screw head, rather than down into the screw. ! Use a hammer to tap an appropriately sized and relatively sturdy screwdriver deep into the screw head to allow the screwdriver blades to grab the edges of the screw head. ! Use a small cutting blade on a Dremel-type tool to cut into the screw head.

Then use a regular, slotted screwdriver to remove the screw. ! If the screw is holding two parts together, use a Dremel-type tool or a hacksaw to cut off the screw head. Remove the top “part” and then use locking pliers to remove the remaining screw shaft.

! Drill an appropriately sized small pilot hole through the screw head and slightly into the screw shaft. Then use a screw extractor bit (often referred to as an “easy out”) to slowly turn the screw out of its hole. ! If all else fails, use an appropriately sized drill bit to drill the screw out. Drilling a machine-thread screw out of its hole will most likely damage the existing threads within the hole, so be prepared to re-tap the hole for a larger size threaded screw once all remnants of the old screw have been removed.

Doggy couch surfing? Website offers pooch lodging LOS ANGELES (AP) — When you travel and have to leave your dog behind, you can call a kennel, hire a pet sitter — or find him a new friend online.

The website DogVacay debuted in New York and Los Angeles in March and, just in time for the summer travel season, is now available throughout the United States and Canada.

The site lets pet owners look up hosts in the area who will care for a dog in their own homes, giving a pet the food, exercise and attention you would give if you stayed home — sort of a doggy version of couchsurfing, for an average price of $25 to $30 a day.

Hosts are checked out and interviewed by DogVacay, and every owner and dog is encouraged to meet the host.

The Santa Monica-based company was founded by Aaron and Karine Nissim Hirschhorn. In two months it

has grown to more than 4,000 hosts in two countries and from five employees to 13, Hirschhorn said.

Hirschhorn and his fiance went on a trip to visit family in 2010 and left their dogs Rocky and Rambo in a kennel. “Rocky came back a little off.

She was not acting herself. She was sheepish and hiding under the desk.

She is normally a happy, happy dog,” he said.

There had to be something better, they said. They let everyone know they were going to start dog sitting.

“Business was booming. We got multiple calls a day,” he said. They watched more than 100 dogs during eight months.

At the end of their experiment, they had two things: enough money to pay for their 2011 wedding and a business model. They quit their day jobs, joined forces with former MySpace CEO Mike Jones to create an online community and raised $1

million in venture capital.

The company’s website provides host bios, location, home photos, prices, availability, notes on what they can handle and reviews.

DogVacay provides insurance (up to $25,000 per animal) for emergencies, the company has a partnership with VCA Animal Hospitals and owners can rent GPS-enabled dog collars if they want to track their pets constantly. Most hosts will email, text or telephone owners once a day with updates on their dogs, Hirschhorn said.

About a third of the hosts are professional pet care providers while two-thirds are casual dog lovers who might be retired, unemployed, stay-at-home moms or veterans, Hirschhorn said. Nine out of 10 hosts have their own dogs.

DogVacay takes credit cards for payment when reservations are made, then pays the hosts.
