Arts funding vetoed ——

Brownback signs ‘a fair budget,’ nixes some provisions

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Gov. Sam Brownback on Saturday signed into law the $13.8 billion state budget, and as expected vetoed funding of the Kansas Arts Commission.

The budget, approved with only Republican votes in the Legislature, also cuts base state aid to schools by $232 per student, or 5.6 percent, and makes cuts in social services. Schools have said the cuts will force Brownback teacher layoffs and school closings and will jeopardize student performance as base state aid falls to its lowest level in two decades.

But Brownback congratulated legislators on crafting “a fair budget in the midst of a down economy” without raising taxes.

Legislators started the 2011 session facing a $500 million revenue shortfall, in part due to expiring federal assistance.

While approving most of the budget for the fiscal year that starts July 1 , Brownback, a Republican who took office in January, applied a line item veto in several areas, including funds for the Arts Commission.

During the legislative session, Brownback had issued an order to eliminate the Arts Commission as a cost-cutting move and replace it with a private, nonprofit foundation.

The plan brought widespread opposition with supporters of the commission saying it was needed to lure federal arts dollars and provide important programs in local communities. The Kansas Senate rejected Brownback’s order and both the House and Senate agreed to fund the commission at $689,000 for the year.

Even so, Brownback earlier this month issued layoff notices to the commission’s staff of five employees.

Formative friendships

Ashley Abbott started her high school career in isolation, snarfing down lunch alone before scurrying off to find somewhere to hide.

Dominique Shaffer screamed and yelled so much that she scared others away — even if, inside, she was the one who was afraid.

And Alysia Foust?

She struggled with stress, with sleep, with simply mustering enough confidence to get through the day.

Well, look at these girls now.

The Free State High School seniors, self-described “animal people,” have collected piles of bleach, towels, food and other supplies for the Lawrence Humane Society. They’ve organized animal-therapy sessions so

popular that they literally had to push fellow classmates out of the room.

But most of all, they’re the best of friends — smiling, laughing, sharing and succeeding like they never could have imagined before. And today’s commencement, at 4 p.m. at the Firebirds’ football stadium, marks both the end of a transformative chapter in their young lives and the beginning of their opportunities to move on and make a difference — both for themselves and for anyone else who might happen to catch a slice of their boundless energy, limitless compassion and steadfast commitment to see more, do more and, yes, be more.

Collin Belcher played with Legos.

Stephen Bell used K’NEX blocks to build tiny ATVs, their electric motors packing enough power to scale piles of toys in his room.

And Matt Zabel? He and Stephen spent part of last summer assembling a T-shirt cannon with a CO2 cartridge, barrel of PVC pipe and $18 sprinkler celluloid from Home Depot.

Not a bad foundation for the future.

The graduating seniors at Lawrence High School are building their college and career plans upon the educational experiences and projects they’ve long embraced at school: taking drafting and architecture and engineering classes, competing in the

National Construction Challenge in Las Vegas, and using plastic film, carbon fiber, hot adhesive and Super Glue to build model airplanes to be flown in and around the West Gym. Now that they’re topping out their high school careers together — graduating at 1 p.m. today at the Lions’ football stadium — the longtime friends already are drawing up plans for their next project. All three will enroll this fall at Kansas University, and all are set to follow the same course of study: mechanical engineering.

Soldier in Iraq thinking of family as holiday approaches

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

Five months into his third tour in Iraq, U.S. Army Col. Jeff Jerome has noticed an improvement in the capabilities of the Iraqi military.

But the former operations division manager for the Douglas County public works department says many challenges remain, and he blamed Iran both for smuggling weapons across the border into southern Iraq and trying to undermine the Iraqi economy.

OPENING DAY at the Lawrence Outdoor Aquatic Center, 747 Ky., meant time for fun and splashes for Lawrence residents.

From right, Amelia Carttar, 11, Amiela Lang, 7, and Gabriela Carttar, 7, pile on David Carttar’s back as he carries the three around the pool Saturday. Cool temperatures in Lawrence meant a smaller turnout for opening day.

Last Tuesday one of his unit’s vehicles was destroyed by an improvised-explosive device near Basra in southern Iraq. No one was injured, he said. Jerome wasn’t in the convoy, but he said the components to the device aren’t manufactured anywhere in Iraq, leading him to suspect they were brought across the border from Iran.

“The goal here is to give the Iraqi government the opportunity, the opportunity to govern themselves without interference,” said Jerome, who is the chief of a Please see SOLDIER, page 2A

Advising in Iraq Jerome, 51, conducted a telephone interview with the Journal-World last week from Basra for Memorial Day as a way to get a message out to family members, including his son, Josh Edwards, who now works for the county’s public works department.

Jerome managed the Douglas County department responsible for maintaining county roads and conducting snow and ice removal for seven years before he moved in 2000 with his family to Colorado.

This is his third tour in Iraq after a 2003 deployment for the initial invasion and in 2007 as part of the troop surge. President Barack Obama declared the end of major combat operations in Iraq last year. About 46,000 American troops remain in Iraq to support security forces there, and although negotiations with Iraqi leaders haven’t yet begun, U.S. military leaders have said Obama is seeking to keep thousands of American forces there past 2011.

Jerome’s main responsibility now is to advise top commanders of the 14th Iraqi Army division in Basra, which is a key Iraqi city because of oil production in the area.

“We’re out and about, and we get to see a lot of the changes in the area,” Jerome said. “And yes, there’s been a lot of improvement since the end of combat operations and definitely since the invasion.”

But there’s still work to do, he said. Training for Iraqi troops has improved, but Jerome said many are young and still learning.

“They still learn and get better in the way they are doing things, but there are some areas that will be lack-

U.S. ARMY COL. JEFFREY JEROME, RIGHT, 1-12 Charger Battalion, 3rd Advisory and Assist Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division, talks with a commander of the 14th Iraqi Army Division while waiting for Exercise Lion’s Leap to begin in April in Basra, Iraq.

“

We’re out and about, and we get to see a lot of the changes in the area.

And yes, there’s been a lot of improvement since the end of combat operations and definitely since the invasion.”

— U.S. Army Col. Jeffrey Jerome, chief of a stability transition team ing,” he said. “They’re young in intelligence collection and their ability to logistically sustain the army. That’s something that still has a long way to go.”

He also worries about Iranian interference and said Americans are trying to help the Iraqis with more sophisticated intelligence and with planning and patrols.

“They are a strong enough force physically to where the violent extremist networks, the terrorists, don’t really square off with the constant mobility of the Iraqi security forces,” Jerome said.

But it’s hard to catch everything, and he worries about other disruptive actions to the new Iraqi government and economy behind the scenes, such as Iranians smuggling goods into Iraq to sell.

“Then all of the Iraqi business can’t survive unless they start supporting the Iranian regime,” he said.

bly would have been designing buildings, making planes and assembling robots at home if they couldn’t do so at school.

“To have one class out of the day to mess around and just build stuff is pretty awesome,” Matt says. “In this class, it’s pretty much everybody doesn’t grow up. It’s just normal kid stuff.”

The three friends have been working together on such projects for years, even before they knew the work would help shape their futures. Collin and Stephen met in fourth grade, and all three became something of a team when they arrived on campus for seventh grade at Southwest Junior High School.

The Lawrence High experience simply strengthened their bonds, ones sure to con-

Family connections Jerome said his unit is also pressed for time with only a few more months to help the Iraqis.

His tour is scheduled to end later this year, and, because it’s been 30 years since his commission, he will also head into retirement when he returns.

Jerome’s wife, Kim Jerome, lives in Greeley, Colo., with his youngest daughter, Laura Jerome, who was born at Lawrence Memorial Hospital. Another daughter, Kaitlyn Jerome, attends Kansas State University, and his oldest daughter, Brittney Jerome, recently moved to Charleston, S.C., from Lawrence.

Jerome has a Memorial Day message for his son, who still lives in Lawrence and will turn 28 this year.

“I’m probably thinking more about him than he is of me, especially as I go through my daily grind with all the young people,” Jerome said.

“He’s just real connected and focused on service with his job in public works. He really accepts the importance of that.

“And happy hunting. He really has a new interest in turkey hunting. He’s in the right place.”

tinue even with the three taking somewhat different paths to the same place: Collin will join a fraternity, while Matt will live in Lewis Hall and Stephen will be up the street in Templin.

“It’s awesome to know that we will have people next year to bank on if we need help,” Collin says. “You’ve got guys you’ve known your whole life, and you know how they work — especially with engineering, you’ve got to be able to work together. That’s a big thing.”

Today’s graduation is just the next step.

“It’s comforting,” Collin says. “We know we’re going to get this done, and we’re going to do well.”

ACCIDENT

9-year-old hit by car, in stable condition

Egypt reopens its border with Gaza Egypt lifted a 4-year-old blockade of the Gaza Strip on Saturday, greatly easing travel restrictions on the 1.5 million residents of the Palestinian territory in a move that bolstered the Hamas government while dealing a setback to Israel’s attempts to isolate the militant group.

The sense of relief was palpable as buses piled high with luggage crossed the Rafah border terminal and hundreds of people traveled abroad for overdue medical appointments, business dealings and family affairs. In Israel, fears were heightened that militants and weapons will soon pour into the territory.

Saturday’s expansion of the Rafah crossing was a tangible benefit of the popular unrest sweeping through the Arab world. The blockade, which has fueled an economic crisis in Gaza, is deeply unpopular among Arabs, and Egypt’s caretaker leaders had promised to end it since the ouster of longtime President Hosni Mubarak in February.

“They fought for us,” Elijah said. “Some of them died for us.”

Another grave was for Capt.

A.R. Mills, and Van Schmus pointed out the “U.S.C.T.,” for U.S. Colored Troops.

Officers in those regiments, Van Schmus said, were typically white while enlisted men were usually black.

Andrei Elliott, a 16-year-old member of Troop 53, said he hoped the flags would show something to those who would see them this weekend.

“For anybody who comes by this cemetery on Memorial Day — and there are a lot of people that do that — they’ll see that there are people who care,” Andrei said.

A 9-year-old boy, who was hit by a car Saturday afternoon near the intersection of Haskell Avenue and Ward Avenue in Lawrence, is in stable condition as of Saturday evening, said Lawrence Police Sgt. Troy Squire.

The boy was flown by helicopter to Stormont-Vail Hospital in Topeka with what appeared to be critical injuries after the vehiclepedestrian accident, according to Lawrence Police Sgt. Ted Bordman.

Police drove up on the accident at about 2:15 p.m., Bordman said. He said the driver of the vehicle was being interviewed by police after the accident.

David Copp, whose family was having a yard sale at a nearby house, said he saw the accident.

The boy seemed to be standing on the curb, he said, and walked out into traffic.

“I don’t think the (driver) had time to react to what was happening,” Copp said.

Lawrence Police did not have information on whether the driver was given a citation as of Saturday evening, as the investigation is continuing.

A Taliban suicide bomber wearing a police uniform blew himself up inside a heavily guarded compound Saturday as top Afghan and international officials left a meeting, killing two senior Afghan police commanders and wounding the German general who commands coalition troops in northern Afghanistan.

Two German soldiers and two other Afghans were also killed in the blast, the latest in an insurgent spring offensive. It came just weeks before a planned drawdown of U.S. troops begins this summer.

The bomber detonated his explosives-laden vest inside the governor’s complex in Takhar province, where high-ranking Afghan officials were meeting with members of the international coalition, said Faiz Mohammad Tawhedi, a spokesman for the governor.

A group of Lawrence Boy Scouts honored Civil War veterans buried in Lawrence on Saturday, and got a little history lesson, too.

Brian Van Schmus, of Lawrence, is a member of the Sons of Union Veterans.

“Our purpose is to keep alive the memory of those who fought for the Union side in the Civil War,” said Van Schmus, who is the greatgreat-grandson of a Union veteran and a self-described “history geek.”

He’s also an assistant scoutmaster for Scout Troop 53, and has been leading groups of Scouts to place flags by the graves of Civil War veterans at Oak Hill Cemetery for six

Authorities brace for nationalist rally Serb authorities have stepped up security ahead of a nationalist rally opposing the extradition of former Bosnian Serb Gen. Ratko Mladic to face war crimes charges before an international court.

Extreme right-wing groups urged their supporters, mostly soccer hooligans, to join today’s planned rally in front of parliament in downtown Belgrade. Organized by the ultranationalist Serbian Radical Party, the rally is seen as a test about whether Mladic still enjoys popular support after 16 years as a fugitive.

Mladic’s lawyer said the former Bosnian Serb military commander knows he will be extradited to a U.N. war crimes tribunal but wants time to rest before the trip.

4 | YEMEN

Yemen officials agree to end clashes Yemen’s embattled president and the country’s most powerful tribal leader agreed Saturday to end five days of gunbattles that killed 124 people and pushed the country’s political crisis closer to civil war.

The fighting between forces loyal to both men made the past week the deadliest since mass street protests for an end to President Ali Abdullah Saleh’s 33-year rule broke out three months ago. Although it could prevent bloodshed, the agreement will do little to solve the wider crisis, with Saleh rejecting efforts to negotiate his exit.

The week’s battles began when Saleh’s security forces attacked the home of Sheik Sadeq al-Ahmar, head of the powerful Hasid tribal confederation and an uneasy ally who abandoned the president and joined his opponents.

Passengers were evacuated through the rear stairs.

Firefighters quickly extinguished the fire with foam spray.

There were conflicting accounts as to what caused the trouble for Delta flight 2284 from Pittsburgh, which landed at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport about 4:18 p.m.

years now, he said.

It became “just a logical joining of efforts,” he said, with the Scouts’ desire to create good citizens. “This is a great way to foster that, too.”

The flag placements were often accompanied by small history lessons.

Samuel J. Churchill got a flag. He was a Medal of Honor recipient who by himself fired his cannon 11 times while the rest of his crew fled.

A year away on a Kansas National Guard deployment in the African country of Djibouti didn’t excuse Eudora man David Dudley from his matrimonial “honey-do” responsibilities.

Since returning to Kansas earlier this month, Dudley’s been hammering away on the list for his wife of 16 years, Traci.

“That was a year’s worth of honey-do’s,” Dudley said. “The wife’s still adding to the list.”

But Dudley is all smiles when he talks about being back in Kansas and back to work as an operations technician for Black Hills Energy.

“You can’t really put words on how you feel,” Dudley said. “I actually look forward to coming back to work.”

Dudley — a sergeant and fiveyear member of the National Guard — spent the year guarding and patrolling a United States military base in a country most people couldn’t pick out on a map.

Since returning, Dudley said people come up and thank him for his service, but it’s something he’s a little uncomfortable with.

“I don’t think I did anything different than any other guy I served with,” he said.

Now he’s savoring the simple things he missed in his year overseas, such as having dinner at his favorite restaurant, Red Lobster.

“That was definitely the first stop,” he said.

But, most importantly, Dudley’s home with his wife and four kids: Bryan, 21; Tiffany, 16; Zachary, 14; Special to the Journal-World and Paige, 7.

“I’m glad to have my official life DAVID DUDLEY, CENTER, JUST RETURNED from serving a year with the Kansas National Guard in the African country of back,” he said.

Filmmakers screen documentary about K.C.’s Cowtown Ballroom

By Nick Nelson

a stop in Lawrence ever since he and Anthony Ladesich started screening their film, “Cowtown Ballroom … Sweet Jesus!”, more than two years ago. He got his wish Saturday.

“We played 16 weeks in four different theaters, and I certainly wanted to do Lawrence all of that time. We just had trouble working out the details,” said Heyen, the film’s producer and director before Saturday’s viewing at the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 N.H. “There are so many good f ilmmakers here in Lawrence. I wanted to give them an opportunity to see it,” he said.

“Cowtown Ballroom …

Sweet Jesus!” is the filmmaking duo’s documentary about the renowned Kansas City, Mo., Cowtown Ballroom concert hall.

“Lawrence is a natural audience for ‘Cowtown’ just by the sheer nature of the fact that it’s kind of a story based in the early ’70s right at the tail end of the hippy movement. I think it was about pro-

— Filmmaker Anthony Ladesich gressive thinkers at that time, and Lawrence seems to be a fairly progressive town,” said Ladesich, directory of photography, editor and writer.

Despite being open for just three years, from 1971 to 1974, the Cowtown Ballroom featured several rock icons from the ’60s and ’70s, including Steve Miller Band, Alice Cooper, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and Blue Oyster Cult.

The team found itself in awe a few times while interviewing artists who played the venue.

“B.B. King was huge. I think that was probably the biggest interview that we got. He’s a god,” said Ladesich. “That was kind of a mindblower to be in the same room with him.”

For Heyen, Foghat stuck out: “They got us a room in their hotel so we could set up an interview. When it finished, Tony and I were like little kids. We were jumping up

and down on the beds, you know? But they’re not our beds, so …”

Saturday’s screening not only gave Lawrence filmmakers a chance to see the movie but also it served as a fundraiser for a new community radio station coming to Lawrence in 2011, KAWR. “I think it really goes to the spirit of the movie, which is Cowtown was definitely a community rallying point, and radio was a big deal to get people through the door at Cowtown. As much as we can support local radio, community radio, anything that’s subversive in any way or in the cracks and left of center — that’s kind of what we do,” Ladesich said.

While Lawrence could be the two’s last public showing, they hope to make two more stops in Missouri — St. Joseph and Columbia. The film will also be broadcast on KCPT at 8 p.m. June 11.

And why should rock ’n’ rollers check out “Cowtown”? Ladesich put it bluntly.

“It’s entertaining as hell. If you like sex, drugs and rock ’n’ roll, you’ll love ‘Cowtown Ballroom.’”

Food and water sustains us all.

And one local group hopes that the draw of deliciously cooked food will be enough to raise money to help monitor one of the region’s most important sources of water.

On June 12, a benefit for Friends of the Kaw will be at Abe and Jake’s Landing.

Known as the River City CookOff, the fundraiser will be a competition among five chefs from some of Lawrence’s favorite restaurants.

What was expected to be just a one-time charity dinner last year has become an annual event after organizer Josh LaSorsa received repeated requests for an encore.

“It’s still just as important as it was last year,” LaSorsa said of the cause.

This year’s lineup of chefs are focused on incorporating local foods into their meals.

The chefs are: Pachamamas’ Ken Baker, Free State’s Rick Martin, 715’s Michael Beard, Esquina’s Simon Bates and a — Reporter Nick Nelson can be reached chef from The Merc.

A souvenir store has been opened in Russell, and men have been working on their entries for a beard-growing contest for the past several months.

There will be 15 free “heritage demonstrations” throughout the weekend, including wheat weaving and corn shelling. Those events are intended to give attendees an idea of what life might have been like on the plains more than 100 years ago, Daugherty said.

Several events, such as the crowning of a Prairiesta queen, have been leading up to the celebration for the past several months.

Lawrence High and Free State commencement ceremonies at a glance WHAT TO BRING Spectators should bring their own water if they want something to drink, because concession stands will be closed. And feel free to stay hydrated: Restrooms will be open.

WHERE TO PARK All school lots will be open, with designated parking for those with handicap permits. Free State will

have employees patrolling lots in a golf cart and a Gator, giving rides to folks who need assistance. At Lawrence High, two carts on loan from Alvamar Country Club will be used.

WHEN TO ARRIVE Graduates are asked to arrive at least 30 minutes prior to their respective ceremonies, LHS at 1 p.m. and Free State at 4 p.m. Firebirds should report to the north end

of the track at the stadium; Lions should gather at the entrance to the softball complex.

WHERE TO SIT Spectators will be in the stands, on either side — and, at Lawrence High, at the north end, in metal stands moved over from the softball field. Lawrence High had its grads sitting in the stands last year, but this year they’ll be on the green field, facing south. At Free State, the

seniors in green robes will be facing north.

WHAT TO DO IF IT RAINS

HOW TO SHOOT

The schools’ principals will decide by 10 a.m. whether inclement weather will force the ceremonies indoors, to Allen Fieldhouse at Kansas University. And it’s a team deal: If Lawrence High is going indoors, Free State will be, too. The decision would be posted on each school’s website, and you can also check out LJWorld.com. There would be no limits on the number of spectators inside the fieldhouse.

If you’re taking your own photos or video, stay in the stands. Or leave it to the pros: Each school will have a professional photographer snapping photographs of the big moments, and proofs will be sent to the home of each graduate; ordering prints, of course, will be optional.

For 1st time, UNICEF discloses vaccine prices UNICEF’s supply division.

She noted that it also will help UNICEF’s partners and those governments that buy vaccines on their own to make more informed decisions in price negotiations with drugmakers.

UNICEF last year spent $757 million to provide 2.5 billion doses of vaccines to 99 countries, reaching an estimated 58 percent of the world’s children.

Its price list shows significant disparity, with Western drugmakers often charging UNICEF double what companies in India and Indonesia do. Just as striking is the steady rise in prices in the last decade, with the cost of vaccines against measles, polio and tetanus roughly doubling between 2001 and 2010. Prices of a few vaccines have remained flat or declined as additional competitors entered the market.

There’s also a huge spread in prices among various vaccines.

As might be expected, shots that have been around for some time and those vaccines made by multiple companies cost just pennies per

“I’m very optimistic we can move forward,” he said.

Schwaller said he hoped to build public support for the commission and get the Legislature to fund it again in the future.

Schwaller dismissed Brownback’s statement that arts funding was not a core function of state government.

“I thought fostering and creating jobs was a core function of government, and that is what the Arts Commission does,” he said.

In addition, Brownback said that moving forward he will again propose no more state funding of public broadcasting.

“I encourage recipients of these grants to make appropriate preparations,” he said.

The budget provides $1.5 million to public broadcasting stations.

Legislators will meet Wednesday for the ceremonial end of the session, but it is doubtful there will be any attempt to override Brownback’s vetoes. Such an effort would require two-thirds majorities in the House and Senate.

UNICEF is for the first time publicizing what drugmakers charge it for vaccines, as the world’s biggest buyer of lifesaving immunizations aims to spark price competition in the face of rising costs.

On Friday, UNICEF posted on its website the actual prices that it has paid individual drugmakers for 16 vaccines purchased over the last decade. It’s a move that a few Western pharmaceutical companies don’t support. Novartis AG and Merck & Co., which only sells one of its many children’s vaccines to UNICEF, both declined to have their prices published.

UNICEF said it will continue to disclose pricing of future vaccine deals, with the hope that the transparency will push drugmakers to cut prices and thus allow the organization to vaccinate more children and save more lives.

“Transparency will also help foster a competitive, diverse supplier base,” said Shanelle Hall, director of

Budget

dose, such as tetanus and tuberculosis shots and oral polio vaccine. But a combination shot for immunization against diptheria, tetanus, whooping cough, hepatitis B and haemophilus influenza can run UNICEF $3 or more per dose. The dual vaccine against 10 or more strains of pneumococcal disease, which causes ear infections and meningitis, costs $3.50 a shot. And some of the vaccines require more than one booster shot, adding to the cost.

The cost is partly justified by the complex manufacturing process used to make combination vaccines. And UNICEF still pays far less than the $71 and $114 per dose, respectively, that is charged in the U.S. for those two vaccines. But given that the organization’s mission is to immunize entire populations

of at-risk children, any savings means more can be vaccinated.

British drugmaker GlaxoSmithKline PLC said in a statement that it “always offers UNICEF our vaccines at our lowest price as they are targeted at the people who need them the most, but are least able to pay. We welcome UNICEF’s move to publish retrospective prices for tenders and hope that this will help inform decisions for future vaccine procurement.”

Messages left with other Western vaccine makers seeking comment weren’t immediately returned Saturday afternoon.

“We proudly exceed state and national averages for virtually all quality measures.”

WHEEL GENIUS

Road work planned this week Lawrence â&#x2014;? City crews will begin making repairs to concrete curbs and street pavement throughout downtown. The project will extend from Sixth Street to North Park Street and from Vermont to New Hampshire streets.

Traff ic will generally be maintained in both directions, but there will be parking limitations and singlelane impacts. The work is expected to be completed by mid-August. â&#x2014;? Crews will begin working on a project to add a center turn lane on Sixth Street between Folks Road and Monterey Way. During the first phase of the project, the inside lanes of both the eastbound and westbound direction will be closed in front of Hy-Vee as crews remove the raised median. The second phase is scheduled to begin this week and plans to widen the eastbound lanes on Sixth Street. The project is expected to last three to five weeks. â&#x2014;? Kasold Drive between Clinton Parkway and 31st Street has both directions of traffic traveling along the southbound lanes of Kasold.

Each direction is narrowed to one lane as crews rebuild the roadway. Access from side streets is right turn only. The project is expected to last for several months. â&#x2014;? A portion of the Kansas River levee trail will be closed for the construction of the Bowersock Mills & Power Co.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new plant on the north bank of the Kansas River. A detour on the trail will take users from the trail to city streets crossing at the controlled intersection of Second and Locust streets. Signs will be clearly posted marking the detour route to direct users throughout the detour.

The city urges drivers and trail users to use caution when traveling through the intersection. The detour will run for the duration of the project, which is projected to last 20 months. â&#x2014;? The city is in the first phase of its overlay projects.

Temporary single-lane closures should be expected in these areas, but traffic will most likely be able to flow through the area. For a map of the overlay projects go to www.lawrenceks.org/public_works/streetmaintenance and click on â&#x20AC;&#x153;2011 Street Maintenance Plan.â&#x20AC;? â&#x2014;? City maintenance crews are working on a microsurfacing program. Roads

throughout the city will be repaved and resurfaced. Lane reductions and possible street closures may occur during the process. To find out what streets the city has targeted, visit the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website, www.ci.lawrence.ks.us.

Douglas County â&#x2014;? Douglas County Road 9 is closed between U.S. Highway 24-40 and Interstate 70.

The road will be closed so crews can work on bridge construction. It will remain closed until late spring. â&#x2014;? All lanes of Douglas County Road 458/N. 1000 Road will be closed to traffic between U.S. Highway 59 and E. 1400 Road, which is about one mile east of U.S. 59. The road is being closed as part of the construction of the new interchange for U.S. 59 and so that crews can repair the bridge located about onethird mile east of U.S. 59.

Local access for residents living in the area will remain available during the roadway closure. For other traffic, a marked detour will be provided along Douglas County Road 1055/E. 1500 Road and 31st Street. The work will last until mid- to late July.

U.S. Highway 24 â&#x2014;? Intermittent lane closures near U.S. Highway 24 and Airport Road are expected while crews work toward the installation of a sanitary sewer collection holding system. The project is scheduled to be completed by August.

U.S. Highway 59 â&#x2014;? North 200 Road is closed at U.S. Highway 59 for frontage road construction work. The road will be tied to the new frontage road that runs parallel to the new U.S. Highway 59. Work is scheduled to be completed in late 2012.

three-mile stretch of highway just east of Lawrence. Traffic will be narrowed to one lane in each direction from mile marker 208 to mile marker 211. Access to the Lawrence Service Area will remain open. Delays are expected during rush hour. The project will be finished by November. â&#x2014;? A bridge replacement project is under way for the 142nd Street bridge spanning the Kansas Turnpike in Leavenworth and Wyandotte counties. The northbound and southbound lanes on 142nd Street will be closed between Kansas Avenue and Riverview Avenue. The stretch of road will remain closed for the duration of the project. As part of the project, daily lane closures could occur on the eastbound and westbound lanes of I-70 and the right shoulder of the road. The

project should be complete in late fall. â&#x2014;? In Wyandotte County, both eastbound and westbound directions will be reduced to one lane from 118th Street to Interstate 435 for pavement repair work.

Construction begins at 7 p.m.

Monday and reopens to all traffic at 6 a.m. Tuesday. The project is expected to last until June.

Obama exhorts U.S., allies to support Arab Spring

By Nancy Benac Associated Press Writer

WARSAW, POLAND — Holding out Poland’s transformation to democracy as a model for the world, President Barack Obama on Saturday exhorted Western allies and the American public alike to extend their support, energy and vision to those now reaching for democracy in the Middle East and North Africa.

Obama wound up his six-day trip to Europe with a message aimed squarely at the people of Obama the United States, saying that in a time of tight budgets, “I want the American people to understand we’ve got to leave room for us to continue our tradition of providing leadership when it comes to freedom, democracy, human rights.”

Obama, in a brief news conference with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, assured Americans that he spends the bulk of each day worrying about the U.S. economy and how to strengthen it and create jobs. But he coupled that with the message that it is a U.S. obligation to support democracy around the globe, one that pays dividends in the form of a safer and more prosperous world.

Speaking with urgency in his voice, Obama said that while no outside country can “impose change” on another, “We can really help. We can facilitate. We can make a difference.”

His message was a tacit answer to simmering sentiment that America should cut back on foreign assistance at a time when it is grappling with deficit troubles at home.

In fact, foreign aid makes up less than 1 percent of the federal budget.

Earlier in the day, Obama met with Poland’s president, Bronislaw Komorowski, and with a team of Poles, including veterans of the Solidarity movement, who recently visited Tunisia to share their advice on how to build a democracy. A popular uprising in Tunisia led to the overthrow of a longtime autocrat and sparked the protest movements that still sweep through the region.

Poland, Obama said, “has gone through what many countries want to now go through, and has done so successfully.”

The president also offered reassurances to the Poles that his efforts to “reset” relations with Russia would not come at the expense of the security of Poland or other nations in Central and Eastern Europe.

He said improved U.S. contacts with Russia “has benefited the region ... because it’s reduced tensions and has facilitated genuine dialogue

about how each country can move forward.”

Citing struggles for democracy in Poland’s own neighborhood, Obama had tough words for Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko.

He praised Poland’s assistance to Belarusian people and its efforts to encourage changes in Belarus. “President Lukashenko has shown a total disregard for democratic values, the rule of law, and the human rights of his own people,” Obama said.

Timed to coincide with Obama’s visit, the United States and Poland completed an agreement that will place a U.S. Air Force detachment in Poland beginning in 2013.

The presence of U.S. warplanes on Polish soil is designed to improve the ability of U.S. and Polish armed forces to cooperate as members of the NATO alliance.

Obama did not, however, bring with him a solution to a longstanding irritant to the Poles: their exclusion from a visa waiver program for those traveling to the United States.

Many Poles feel that their strong support for the U.S. and their contributions to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan should have won them the privilege of visa-free travel to the United States.

Obama said Poland doesn’t qualify for the waiver based on current law but promised that he was working to change that.

2011 now deadliest year for tornadoes in more than 60 years

By Nomaan Merchant Associated Press Writer

JOPLIN, MO. — The numbers look increasingly bleak for families hoping for the best after a monster tornado that devastated the town of Joplin, as the city has raised the death toll to at least 139 and state officials say 100 people are still missing.

Thousands more people far beyond Joplin had been waiting for good news about a teen believed to have been ejected or sucked from his vehicle on the way home from graduation. Several social-networking efforts specifically focused on finding information about Will Norton.

But his family says he, too, is among the dead — found in a pond near where his truck was located.

“At least we know that he wasn’t out there suffering,” his aunt Tracey Presslor said, holding a framed portrait of her 18-year-old nephew at a news conference. “Knowing that he was gone right away was really a blessing for us.”

Joplin City Manager Mark Rohr said Saturday during a news conference that the death toll rose by three to at least 142, but later revised that figure down to 139 without elaboration.

Mike O’Connell, a

spokesman for the Missouri Department of Public Safety, told The Associated Press on Saturday that he could not confirm the city’s updated death toll number. He said the state of Missouri currently places the death toll at 126, saying they have no reason to raise that number.

State officials say there are 142 sets of human remains at the morgue handling those killed by the storm and some could be from the same victim.

If the death toll does stand at 139, it would place this year’s tornado death toll at 520 and make 2011 the deadliest year for tornadoes since 1950. Until now, the highest recorded death toll by the National Weather Service in a single year was 519 in 1953.

There were deadlier storms before 1950, but those counts were based on estimates and

not on precise figures.

The tornado — an EF-5 packing 200 mph winds — also injured more than 900 people. Tallying and identifying the dead and the missing has proven a complex, delicate and sometimes confusing exercise for both authorities and loved ones.

Missouri officials said Saturday that the number of people unaccounted for stands at 100. The Missouri Department of Public Safety said that within that number, nine people have been reported dead by their families, but state officials are working to confirm those.

Newton County coroner Mark Bridges said most, if not all, of the people brought to the temporary morgue could be identified this weekend.

He described officials there as “making real good progress.”

Confirmation game The tension between politics and judicial impartiality is on stark display during recent U.S. Senate confirmation hearings.

A

ccounts of a Lawrence attorney’s confirmation hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee this week provide an interesting window on the conflicts between politics and the desired impartiality of those who serve as federal judges.

Steve Six, a former Douglas County district judge and Kansas attorney general, was nominated two months ago by President Barack Obama to replace another Lawrence resident, Deanell Tacha, on the 10th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals. On Tuesday, he fielded a variety of questions from members of the Senate committee. Like other judicial nominees seeking confirmation, Six often gave answers that were less than direct.

According to news accounts, considerable attention was given to abortion issues during the Six hearing. Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa wanted to know what Six thought of a new Kansas statute adding new abortion restrictions. Six pointed out that the statute was passed after he left the attorney general’s office and he had not studied it.

Grassley also wanted to know why Six didn’t reopen an investigation of Planned Parenthood records begun by former A.G. Phill Kline.

Six said that wasn’t an issue he sought out and he “tried to handle it in the most professional way I could.” Grassley also wondered if former Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, who vetoed a number of bills to add abortion restrictions, put any pressure on him not to pursue that investigation. Six said he had never discussed any criminal cases with Sebelius.

Grassley, no doubt, was hoping for answers that were more definitive. However, the questions he was asking were primarily focused on political issues Six dealt with while serving in political office. As a federal judge, Six would be expected to be above political influence. In fact, legal experts defended his evasive answers on the basis that if he expressed an opinion on abortion or other controversial issues, he would have to recuse himself from cases concerning those issues if he is appointed to the Court of Appeals.

The tension between politics and the judiciary is on stark display during confirmation hearings. Senators want to know how judges will “vote” on certain important issues, in much the same way candidates commit to certain stands during a political campaign. Goodness knows that elected officials can and do change their minds, often based on shifts in the political climate.

On the other hand, the Constitution does not change. The commitment of judges isn’t to a specific set of constituents or to the political climate but to the U.S. Constitution and the laws of the land. Although some observers would argue that too many judicial decisions are influenced by politics and that some judges are trying to make new law in their legal rulings, the ideal is for judges to rise above politics and decide cases purely on the basis of the law. To express any bias on any issue during a confirmation hearing would compromise their judicial integrity.

But senators still ask, perhaps hoping that a nominee will slip, giving some clue to a stand that could be used to disqualify him or her from service.

It makes for an interesting game. Senators ask; nominees deflect.

The ideal, of course, is to fill the federal courts with intelligent, articulate people who are dedicated to impartially applying constitutional principles and enforcing the legislated laws of the nation. That’s a tall order in the current politically charged climate, but those responsible for nominating and confirming federal judges should do their best to achieve that goal.

U.S. flouts presidential war powers limit WASHINGTON — The U.S. intervention in Libya’s civil war, intervention that began with a surplus of confusion about capabilities and a shortage of candor about objectives, is now taking a toll on the rule of law. In a bipartisan cascade of hypocrisies, a liberal president, with the collaborative silence of most congressional conservatives, is traducing the War Powers Resolution.

Enacted in 1973 over President Nixon’s veto, the WPR may or may not be wise. It is, however, unquestionably a law, and Barack Obama certainly is violating it. It stipulates that a president must terminate military action 60 days after initiating it (or 90, if the president “certifies” in writing an “unavoidable military necessity” respecting the safety of U.S. forces), unless Congress approves it. Congress has been supine and silent about this war which began more than 70 days ago.

All presidents have resented the WPR but have taken care to act “consistent with” its 48-hour reporting requirement. So on March 21, two days after the administration took the nation to war in Libya, Obama notified Congress of this obvious fact, stressing that U.S. operations would be “limited in their nature, duration, and scope” in the service of a “limited and well-defined mission.” Months ago, before it metastasized into regime change, the “well-defined” mission was to protect civilians.

In his March 28 address to the nation, Obama said “the United

George Will

Stonewalling is, “perhaps, prudent when

policy is ludicrous. It is, however, intolerable in the third month of a war that Obama said would involve days, not weeks.”

States will play a supporting role.” But the WPR does not leave presidential war-making utterly unrestrained if it is a “supporting role.”

On April 1, a Justice Department memorandum devoted many words to refuting what no one is disputing, that presidents have the power to initiate military action without Congress’ permission. The WPR assumes this with its 48-hour and 60- and 90-day deadlines. The memorandum reaches the conclusion the president wants by arguing as follows: By allowing U.S. involvement in hostilities to continue for 60 or 90 days, Congress “signaled” that it considers congressional authorization “most critical” for “major, prolonged conflicts” such as Korea and Viet-

nam.

But Congress did not “signal” this. It stipulated deadlines.

After 60 days, on May 20, Obama wrote to congressional leaders noting that since April 4, U.S. “participation” has involved “non-kinetic support” (intelligence, logistics, refueling) — but also decidedly kinetic attacks on Libyan air defenses and other targets of “the NATO-led” forces.

He said U.S. support is “crucial” but “we are no longer in the lead.”

This is meretricious. We are not conspicuously leading this war by committee, aka NATO, but NATO would not act without us, and absent U.S. assets, the Libyan campaign could not continue.

Sen. Richard Lugar — former chairman of and current ranking Republican on the Foreign Relations Committee — normally is as placid as an Indiana meadow, but in a tart May 23 letter to Obama, Lugar charged that Obama’s commitments to consult with Congress and act “consistent with” the WPR “have not been fulfilled.” Lugar said the administration recently “canceled without explanation” a committee briefing on Libya by the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and declined the committee’s request that a Defense Department official testify at another hearing — where the one administration official who did appear, from the State Department, “declined to answer questions about our military operations in Libya on the ground that such questions

would be more appropriately answered by the Defense Department.”

Stonewalling is, perhaps, prudent when policy is ludicrous. It is, however, intolerable in the third month of a war that Obama said would involve days, not weeks. And as Lugar said with notable understatement, U.S. operations “have assumed a different character than you suggested when you announced the decision to initiate them.” Obama has made a perfunctory request for congressional approval of this war, but clearly will proceed without it.

Liberals are situational ethicists regarding presidential warmaking: Imagine their comportment if Obama’s predecessor — who got congressional authorization for his uses of force — had behaved as Obama is doing regarding Libya. Most conservatives, who preen about their commitment to keeping government on a short leash, seem anesthetized by the administration’s sophistries.

“No president,” says Sen. John McCain, “has ever recognized the constitutionality of the War Powers Act and neither do I. So I don’t feel bound by any deadline.” Oh? No law is actually a law if presidents and senators do not “recognize” it? Now, there is an interesting alternative to judicial review, and an indicator of how executive aggrandizement and legislative dereliction of duty degrade the rule of law.

Mortality gives meaning to life So it looks like we’re doomed.

Again. Having found the world intact on May 21, the day he’d said the world would end, Harold Camping, an 89-year-old radio preacher from Oakland, Calif., has revised his estimate. Oct. 21, he says now. That’s the last day for planet Earth.

One hopes the people who gave away their money and possessions in anticipation of Camping’s first last day can find somebody to spot them a meal or two.

One hopes the fellow who drove his family from Maryland to California budgeted enough gas money to return — though why he considered Cali a better bleacher from which to view the end of the world is anybody’s guess.

Not for nothing, but this isn’t the first time Camping has gotten it wrong. Back in 1994, he got a lot of people verklempt over another doomsday prophesy that didn’t pan out. He says he is getting these predictions from simple math and a study of the Bible.

Presumably, this would be the same Bible that says (Matthew 24:36) “No one knows about that day or hour ...”

There is something sobering in debating the end of the world while the American heartland is absorbing reminder after brutal reminder of the fundamental frailty of human structures, the profound mortality of human lives. And perhaps this is just a trick of perception, but such reminders seem especially plen-

tiful lately. From the tornadic winds whipping across this country to the ground heaving and breaking in Haiti to the ocean smashing down upon Japan, we have been repeatedly and catastrophically instructed in the capriciousness of death and the precariousness of life.

Given that the only certainty in the latter is the eventuality of the former, it is perhaps unavoidable for a rational mind to wonder how things end. Robert Frost wondered. “Some say the world will end in fire,” the great poet wrote. “Some say in ice.” Martin Luther King wondered. “Every now and then I think about my own death and I think about my own funeral,” he mused, two months before an assassin’s bullet cut him down.

Harold Camping wonders.

And so he gets his calculator and

his Bible and he makes predictions that frighten some gullible people and provide fodder for others to crack wise.

But the tendency to focus on the end is like looking through the wrong end of a telescope. It suggests mortality is a thing to be feared.

Granted, one would never think this, much less say it when death breaks hearts and overflows eyes, when it strikes without warning or lingers above a sickbed, when it takes away the very young or the very loved, but a case can be made that mortality is really a gift of sorts.

The understanding that life is finite lends a bittersweet urgency to this business of living. Seasons change, years pile upon years, hair turns to silver and then to memory and in all of it, there is an undercurrent: get done what you came here to do, give the gifts you meant to give, do the good you’re able to do, say what you need to say, now, today, because everything you see is temporary, the clock is ticking and the alarm could go off any second.

Camping had it wrong in more ways than one. He told people to get ready for the end. Better they should live ready for the end.

The key word there being, live.

To the editor: In the May 16 issue of the Journal-World, a significant property tax rate increase from City Hall was announced. An increase in sewer and water rates will also be asked for. The City Commission needs to think hard and consider how their decisions will impact about 27 percent of Lawrence residents.

The following information is from the Chamber of Commerce.

In Lawrence, there are 7 percent unemployed, 10 percent of families live below the poverty line, and 10 percent of the population are seniors, who have not had a Social Security raise for two years. If the tax increases are passed, you will push some people out of their homes. At a time when the price of gasoline has pushed food prices up, $69 a year can mean a choice between food, medicine, gas or mortgage payment. Why do the City Commission, school board, and County Commission use the same phrase when they want to raise taxes? “That’s not much” of an increase can be more than some people can afford.

The City Commission thinks they may have trouble making ends meet without this increase.

Wrong! Study groups are used to come up with solutions/suggestions on issues. Get another study group together. Use people who are out of work, in lowpaying jobs, and seniors. Let them look at expenditures and the city budget. They will tell you where to cut costs and how to make ends meet. They do it every day. These people are not running out of money, they are out of money. Look at the bankruptcies and foreclosures listed in the paper. We The People need help.

Scott Henderson, Lawrence

STATE

Mait Tait

Lions stung by loss Losing always stinks, but it tends to hurt a little more when everything you’ve done for the past 36 weeks was done to prevent it.

Such was the case for the Lawrence High baseball team at the Class 6A state tournament on Saturday. After countless comeback victories, throngs of thrilling moments and a season’s worth of scrapping for everything they got, the Lions’ luck ran out when seventh-seeded Blue Valley West knocked them out of the running for a state title with a 3-2 victory at Kansas University’s Hoglund Ballpark.

“That’s why it takes you a couple days to get over it,” LHS coach Brad Stoll said. “You invest so much in these kids and this program. If you just rolled the balls out there on March 1 and said, ‘Play ball,’ then it’d be easy. But it’s not. It hurts.”

LHS didn’t go quietly. If anything, it was starting quietly that cost the Lions. But you can’t blame them for refusing to panic after recording just two hits through the first five innings and watching BV West build a 3-0 lead.

In the sixth, the Lions sent seven batters to the plate and scored two runs, the first by Troy Willoughby on a wild pitch and the second by Corbin Francisco on an RBI single from Trent Sheppard. While the LHS hitters were doing their best to kickstart a comeback, senior pitcher Jake Johnson, who relieved starter Garrett Cleavinger in the fifth, kept the Lions close. It’s no coincidence that the LHS pitching and hitting clicked at the same time.

“I was just trying to hook the team back up,” Johnson said of his role in the semifinal loss. “It started to work toward the sixth and seventh inning, but we just have to do it the whole game.”

Really, it started months ago when this team first got together for offseason workouts and dreamed of Saturday. Even after taking their lumps during an early-season trip to Oklahoma, the Lions visualized finishing the season at state with a chance to be crowned kings of the diamond. They had that.

“I know everyone worked hard this offseason,” Johnson said. ‘It was 15 degrees out there, and everyone was working, breaking a sweat when it was impossible to sweat. I think if we would’ve worked just a little bit harder, we would’ve been in the title game.”

That’s not lip service. It’s just what the Lions believe.

“Coach Stoll and the rest of the coaches prepare us well,” Sheppard said. “They’ll do anything for us, and that makes us different than the rest of the teams.”

Saturday marked the final day of high school baseball for the six seniors on Lawrence’s postseason roster. But that means 12 members of that roster will be back next year. Because this taste will taint their minds for the next several months, there’s really no reason to ask what comes next.

“We’ve gotta get back to work, work harder and come back next year and win a state title,” sophomore infielder Shane Willoughby said.

Added Johnson, addressing the underclassmen: “Just don’t take anything for granted. Work as hard as you can, and it’ll pay off in the end like it did for us this year. We were the underdogs in the tournament.

Nobody expected us to come this far, and we kept fighting back.

“That’s just what Lawrence High’s all about. We haven’t given up on anything this year.

We’ve always fought back. I guess that just runs in all of us.”

LHS baseball disappointed with fourth

By Clark Goble Journal-World Sports Writer

Before the season, Lawrence High’s baseball team set two main goals.

The first — make the state tournament — was probably common to every team in the state. The second — win state — was more ambitious.

After falling 3-2 to seventhseeded Blue Valley West in the state semif inals Saturday at Kansas University’s Hoglund Ball-

park, the latter goal will remain unaccomplished.

“I’m disappointed that these seniors didn’t get a chance to win a state championship,” LHS coach Brad Stoll said.

The Lions also fell in the thirdplace game to Shawnee Mission East, 13-11.

In the semifinal, LHS junior starting pitcher Garrett Cleavinger struck out the side in the first inning, but he just didn’t have his typically sharp command the rest of the way.

The Jaguars scored two runs in the second inning, the first on an RBI grounder past third baseman Troy Willoughby and the second on an RBI groundout.

Cleavinger ground through the third and fourth innings, but left the game after walking Collin Wiles, the Jaguars’ leadoff hitter, in the fifth. It was Cleavinger’s sixth walk of the day.

“It’s gonna stick with me all year,” Cleavinger said.

Stoll lauded Cleavinger’s pitching this season and refused to put

any blame directly on his shoulders.

After all, it was Cleavinger’s stellar performance in the regional final against Manhattan that brought the Lions (14-11) to the state tournament.

“I got all the faith in the world in that kid,” Stoll said. “He’s going to be really special.”

WICHITA — The races were over, the times were fast, and all that was left for the Free State High girls track and field team to do was wait for the good news.

FREE STATE’S ALEXA HARMON-THOMAS (707) COMPETES in the 100meter hurdles at state. Harmon-Thomas placed second, and the Firebirds were third in the team race Saturday in Wichita.

(44.86) and second-place finishes 1 in the long jump (18 feet, 3 ⁄2 inches) and 100 hurdles (14.60).

“I don’t know if I’m used to it yet,” Harmon-Thomas said after winning her fourth medal in her first appearance at state. “But it’s a great feeling to have.”

Of the three, her performance in the long jump was the biggest surprise. After scratching on her first attempt and coming up well short on her second in the preliminaries, Harmon-Thomas needed a solid third jump just to reach the finals.

But as she sprinted down the runway, she neared the board

ready to make her jump, but was leading with her wrong foot — her right foot. No problem.

Harmon-Thomas was shattered her own personal-best distance with a leap of 18-31⁄2. It nearly held up through the finals, too, but was finally topped by Blue Valley West’s Alyssa Kelly — who hit 1833⁄4 on her final jump.

“I didn’t want to bail out,” said Harmon-Thomas, who recently switched from jumping off her right foot to her left. “I thought it was a decent jump, but I didn’t think it was as good as it was.”

The girls 4x800 relay team sur-

vived an early scare to take third place at 9:48.56.

Bailey Sullivan, a freshman running the leadoff leg, was tangled up in the pack right after the gun and had the baton knocked loose accidentally. By the time she found it and resumed running, she was dead last.

Aside from the minor slip-up, Sullivan ran a fantastic split to get the baton to Hayley Francis around fifth place.

Francis did her part and was followed strong by Rachel Schaffer, who ran a personal-best split, and Robinson closed it out.

“I didn’t even know we dropped it until we walked up to the awards, and she was crying, apologizing to us,” Robinson said.

“That would explain why she was last (at the start). I didn’t know (at the time) if it was just stress or anything else.

“But that was really impressive that she could run like that with that start.”

A short while later, Robinson took fifth in the 1,600 (5:24.24), and then, exhausted after two taxing races, trotted out with Sullivan to compete in the 800.

Robinson was nearly gassed after the first lap, but somehow found the strength to keep her legs churning and take fourth (2:22.66).

Djokovic, Nadal, Sharapova win easily PARIS (AP) — What was shaping up as a struggle for Novak Djokovic at the French Open suddenly turned into something of a stroll.

Tied at a set apiece with big-hitting 2009 U.S. Open champion Juan Martin del Potro when play was suspended because of darkness a night earlier, Djokovic quickly faced two break points Saturday. He saved those, then

broke del Potro in the next game, and that was pretty much that.

“If he serves well, he can beat anybody, really,” Djokovic said. “I went (into) the match a bit more nervous than usual.”

If that’s so, it didn’t really show.

Djokovic completed a 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, 6-2 victory in the third round, pushing his 2011 record to 40-0 and stretching his winning streak to 42

matches overall, including two Davis Cup matches in December.

“He was much better than me,” said the 25th-seeded del Potro, a semifinalist in Paris two years ago.

“He has everything; everything perfect. He has very good movement. He’s very fast. He’s improved his serve. He’s beating all the players very, very easy, and I’m one more victim of his game.”

FREE STATE HIGH

Rafael Nadal reached the fourth round by beating Croatian qualifier Antonio Veic, 6-1, 6-3, 6-0.

Twenty-eight of the 32 players still around in both fields are from Europe.

That includes three Russian women who won Saturday: No. 7 Maria Sharapova, No. 25 Maria Kirilenko and unseeded Ekaterina Makarova.

America’s worst nightmare: Miami

NO GATORADE BATH NEEDED

SPORTS ON TV TODAY

By Dave Hyde Sun Sentinel

MIAMI — This is your nightmare, America.

This is your deepest sports fear. This is the team you wanted to fall, still standing.

This is the player the national media promised couldn’t win the big one, on the verge of winning the biggest one of all.

This is the voice that for months preached patience to your ridicule, that talked sacrifice to your scoffing, that only asked to let this season play out to the continuous sound of you letting your glee out.

“We’re still four wins away,” LeBron James said.

Oh, Lord. Not him, huh?

“We’re going to work like we always have,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said.

And, please, not them, right?

The bad news, America, is the Heat are still going. Here’s the worst: If Dallas can’t step forward and save the Republic in these NBA Finals, what will stop the Heat over the next several years?

Injuries?

Prayers?

Dwight Howard to the Lakers?

This was the year to chop down the Heat. They looked like a kid lost in the mall at times. They struggled. They argued. They had key injuries and the Internet world rummaging through their timeout huddles on a nightly basis.

They still needed barely more than the minimum in running through the Eastern Conference. They trumped Philadelphia, Boston and Chicago in five games each.

Close games. But close series?

Wait until Heat President Pat Riley gets an offseason to fill in the holes. And wait until players line up this summer to play for the Heat. Mike Bibby offered a sign of things to come in February when he ripped up the $6.2 million deal he was guaranteed next season to play with the Heat this year.

So Dallas is your last hope, America.

And it’s a good one if you look how it’s spun through the Western Conference as easily as the Heat has the East. Their offensive star, Dirk Nowitzki, is fueled by a 2006 Finals loss to the Heat, too. He feels this is his chance for a title That’s a storyline. Here’s another: LeBron James needs to win one for his legacy more. Nowitzki was called one of the game’s 10 greatest players by his coach and the national media only debated if he actually was one of the 10 or 20 greatest.

That won’t change if he loses this series.

Everything changes for LeBron, though.

Everyone’s attacks return. And do you know what owner shoveled the most dirt on him and the Heat behind Cleveland’s Dan Gilbert?

Dallas owner Mark Cuban demanded the league investigate the Heat’s signing of the Big Three. He said he warned LeBron against signing with the Heat, because no team had ever blown up their team and then added a couple free agents and won a championship. It’s always taken someone coming from a good team to make it better and put them over the top.

He went on Dallas radio and said this to the co-hosts about the Heat’s November swoon, “Hallelujah, boys, is this great or what? ... How cool is that? Now they could still turn it around and win out for all that matters, but you’re starting to see some of the problems.

“Any team with a strong, big guy that can score, they’re getting abused by...They just don’t have size to battle. They have the fewest points in the paint of any team and that’s tough.”

Now Cuban has gone silent, like most of the Heat critics. And guess what, America?

It’s not November anymore. It’s May. It’s the NBA Finals. And it’s your worst nightmare, because the Heat are still playing.

Dallas is the last hope for you now. And not just the last hope for this year. The way the Heat is set up and the NBA landscape looks, this might be your best hope to stop the Heat for the next several years.

BARCELONA MANAGER JOSEP GUARDIOLA IS THROWN INTO THE AIR by his players after they defeated Manchester United, 3-1, in the UEFA Champions League Final on Saturday at Wembley Stadium in London.

Woodland three shots back at Byron Nelson IRVING, TEXAS — Ryan Palmer fought through a breezy day for a 3-over 73 on Saturday at the Byron Nelson Championship. That was good enough to top the leaderboard at 5 under after three rounds.

Even with two bogeys the last three holes, Palmer finished a stroke ahead of playing partner Sergio Garcia (74) after the two started the day tied for the lead at TPC Four Seasons.

Only eight of 74 players shot under par Saturday. The best was a 67 by Arjun Atwal that tied him with Ryuji Imada (70) for third place at 3 under.

Gary Woodland and Matt Kuchar shot 68s to match Joe Ogilvie (72) at 2 under.

Newspaper: NU backup QB leaving

GOLF Irwin, Murota top leaderboard

MIAMI — Scottie Pippen said LeBron James may be basketball’s greatest player ever.

Among those who disagree: LeBron James.

The Miami Heat forward provided his reaction to Pippen’s comparison between James and Michael Jordan on Saturday, essentially saying he was flattered by the sentiment but simply does not believe he’s done enough to merit mention among the game’s highest echelon.

“I’m not better than Jordan,” James said.

LOUISVILLE, KY. — Hale Irwin overcame a four-shot deficit to grab the lead, then frittered it away with a double bogey on the last hole to drop into a tie with Kiyoshi Murota in the Senior PGA Championship.

Seeking a victory that would make him the oldest winner of a senior major and oldest Champions Tour winner, Irwin — who will be 66 on Friday — shot a 2-under 70 that could have been better if not for the finish.

Irwin and Murota, who battled back pain to shoot a 74, were at 9-under 207 at Valhalla Golf Club.

Hall of Famer Tom Watson, the 2007 Senior PGA champion, shot a 68 and was just one shot back, with Trevor Dodds (67) at 7 under and Nick Price (73) at 6 under.

Donald, Manassero tied VIRGINIA WATER, ENGLAND — Luke Donald birdied two of his last three holes for a 1-over 72 and a share of the lead at the BMW PGA Championship with Italian teenager Matteo Manassero.

Young leads Brazil Cup RIO DE JANEIRO — Heather Bowie Young shot a 6-under 66 in rainy conditions to take a two-stroke lead over Suzann Pettersen and Lindsey Wright in the LPGA Tour’s 36-hole Brazil Cup.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL Former Oklahoma player drowns CAMERON, TEXAS — Brandon Everage, a safety on Oklahoma’s 2000 national championship team, drowned while swimming in a Texas river. He was 30.

Milam County Sheriff David Greene said in a news release that authorities were called to the Little River in the western part of the county on Friday evening. Friends said they had been swimming when Everage, a Granger resident, went under water and didn’t surface. A dive team recovered his body Saturday morning.

Everage was a reserve on Oklahoma’s 2000 national championship team and a starter on the 2003 team that had a shot at the BCS title before losing to LSU in the Sugar Bowl.

“Brandon was a favorite in the locker room and a favorite among the coaches. He played football with tremendous passion and had a special spark that inspired everyone,” coach Bob Stoops said in a statement. “We will always have fond memories of him. For now, though, we are deeply saddened for Brandon’s family.”

LINCOLN, NEB. — Nebraska backup quarterback Cody Green has reportedly decided to transfer to another school.

The Lincoln Journal Star reported Saturday that the junior-to-be has asked for permission to transfer. The newspaper’s story relied on anonymous sources.

When contacted by the Associated Press, Nebraska Coach Bo Pelini declined to comment on the report Green will transfer.

MLB Twins put Nathan on DL MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota Twins have decided to place right-handed reliever Joe Nathan on the disabled list due to soreness in his surgically repaired elbow.

SOCCER Sporting Kansas City, Rapids tie COMMERCE CITY, COLO. — Ryan Smith scored in the 75th minute to give Sporting Kansas City the 1-1 tie.

Sporting Kansas City (1-6-2) snapped a fivegame MLS losing streak. The team is playing its first 10 games on the road while its new stadium is completed.

Conor Casey scored for Colorado (4-3-6) in the 13th minute.

Barcelona beats Man United, 3-1 WEMBLEY, ENGLAND — The debate is over now. Barcelona is on the list of soccer’s alltime greatest teams.

Led by another dominant performance from Lionel Messi, the Catalan club beat Manchester United 3-1 on Saturday to earn its third Champions League title in six seasons and No. 4 overall.

“I feel privileged,” Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola said. “You always want to win, but the way we have won is what I am most proud of. This is the way we want to play football.

“Lionel is the best player I have seen and probably the best I will ever see.”

Kenseth and Edwards exchanged the lead with five laps left in the 300-mile race, but Edwards couldn’t counter Kenseth’s final pass on the inside.

Ex-Jayhawk Chalmers one-ups Rose again J-W Staff and Wire Reports

MIAMI — Mario Chalmers, whose Kansas Jayhawks defeated Derrick Rose’s Memphis Tigers in the 2008 NCAA championship game, did not gloat after once again emerging victorious against Rose, this time in the 2011 NBA Eastern Conference finals.

“I just told him to keep his head up and keep working,”

Chalmers told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel in the wake of his Miami Heat’s 8380 series clinching victory over Chicago Bulls.

“He had a great series,” Chalmers added of a series won by Miami, four games to one.

Chalmers hit the crucial three-point shot that forced overtime in KU’s 75-68 victory over Memphis in ’08 in San Antonio.

That’s the game in which KU battled back from a ninepoint deficit with two minutes left in regulation.

Thursday, Chalmers knocked down a key threepointer in the third quarter. A reserve guard, he watched from the bench as the Bulls blew a 12-point lead in the final three minutes.

“Big flashback,” Chalmers told the Sun-Sentinel.

He was asked to pinpoint

the common thread between the KU comeback and the Miami comeback.

“Just big plays being made,” Chalmers said. “Our defense picked it up, and we were hitting big shots. “(We were) refusing to accept defeat.

That’s the main thing.”

Rose, who missed a big free throw late against KU, missed a possible game-tying free throw with 26.7 seconds left Thursday. The Bulls’ star came up

short this time, while Miami’s big three of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh starred down the stretch.

“I expect that from them,” Chalmers said of stellar play in crunch time. “They always turn it on when the game is on the line, especially D-Wade.

I’ve been with him my whole NBA career and I’ve seen him do some amazing stuff. I wasn’t shocked at all.”

Game One of the NBA

Finals between the Heat and Dallas Mavericks is set for 8 p.m., Tuesday in Miami.

Chalmers’ role?

“I just try to that spark off the bench. I try to change the game and make it easier for everybody else out there,” Chalmers said.

According to his Mario V Chalmers Foundation Website, the third-annual National Championship Golf Classic will be Aug. 5 at Alvamar.

KANSAS CITY FIRST BASEMAN ERIC HOSMER reaches for a pop fly. The Royals fell to the Rangers, 10-1, Saturday in Arlington, Texas.

Weary Royals routed ————

Rangers rough up O’Sullivan, Kansas City in 10-1 victory A R L I N G T O N , T E X A S ( AP ) — Sean O’Sullivan took one for the team Saturday night.

The 23-year-old right-hander gave up five homers on a night when his arm was aching, and Kansas City’s bullpen was gassed as the Texas Rangers routed the Royals, 10-1.

1 Kansas City received 11 ⁄3 scoreless innings from its relief corps in Friday night’s 12-7 win over Texas in 14 innings. That left manager Ned Yost with a short bullpen and little choice but to leave a struggling O’Sullivan on the 2 mound for 5 ⁄3 innings.

O’Sullivan was knocked around for 10 runs and 15 hits — both career highs — as his ERA swelled from 5.60 to 6.75.

“Our bullpen’s been worked pretty good lately,” Yost said. “He knew that going in, that he was going to have to go deep in the game and get us as far as he could. His best feature was that he competed.

His stuff was flat at times and they hit it.”

O’Sullivan has been battling right biceps tendinitis that limited the effectiveness of his fastball, but he wanted to give Yost as many innings as possible.

“It’s not fun,” O’Sullivan said. “But I had to keep taking the ball and go as hard as I could for as long as I could. I’d have finished it if (Yost) kept running me out there.”

O’Sullivan said he’s experienced the tendinitis before and has been able to pitch through it.

“It started grabbing me a little bit,” he said. “I couldn’t get much behind the ball. It made it difficult to get much on the fastball. I get it once or twice every year. It wasn’t going to go away for five days, but it’s nothing that sticks with me. I pitch through it one or two times and it goes away.”

Meanwhile, Rangers lefthander Matt Harrison was sharp for six innings, and he got all the support he needed from his power-hitting lineup.

Harrison pitched five-hit shutout ball and he got early

support when Mitch Moreland, Mike Napoli and Endy Chavez hit consecutive homers in the second to match a club record.

Harrison (5-4) struck out one and walked one in steamy 98-degree conditions to help the Rangers win for the fourth time in six games. He has pitched at least six innings in eight of his 10 starts and has 1 thrown 16 ⁄3 straight shutout innings in his last three starts.

Harrison could have gone deeper, but a blister on his right index finger shortened his outing.

Yoshinori Tateyama, a 35year-old rookie, worked the final three innings for his first big-league save.

Billy Butler had two hits for the Royals, who’ve dropped 11 of 14.

In the f irst, O’Sullivan walked Ian Kinsler and Michael Young, and both scored when Adrian Beltre ripped an 0-2 pitch into the right-field corner for a double.

If O’Sullivan thought he was getting a break facing Texas’ bottom three batters to open the second, he was mistaken.

Moreland led off with his sixth homer into the visitors’ bullpen in left center, Napoli followed with his seventh, and Chavez hit his first to make it 5-0. The three blasts sailed a total of 1,182 feet.

Skyler Gelssinger. From there, Johnson didn’t give up a hit.

The Lions, in their typical tenacious fashion, battled to score two runs in the sixth.

Junior Trent Sheppard drove in the second with a line-drive single off the Jaguars’ Ryan Agnitsch on a 1-2 count.

“He threw me two curveballs in a row, and I didn’t look good on them, so I knew he was coming with it again,” Sheppard said. “And he just left it hanging.”

They couldn’t tie the score, but the Lions had a comeback on their minds with the top of their lineup due up in the seventh.

“I really had confidence that we were going to do it,” Stoll said.

But nobody reached base in the seventh inning. Troy Willoughby flied out to deep right field for the final out.

Agnitsch threw a complete game, using a fastball and a sharp curveball in the dirt to keep the Lions off balance.

“That’s the type of pitching we’ve seen all year,” senior Ross Johnson said. “Just one of those days when you don’t get the hits you want to.”

In the consolation game, the Lions took a 5-2 lead through two innings, but the Lancers put up eight in the bottom of the fifth to seize the lead. Both teams used all their remaining pitchers, including some position players.

After a disappointing 2010 season when the Lions didn’t make the state tournament, Stoll put his players through rigorous offseason workouts and a difficult schedule to prepare them better for postseason play.

Of the four Sunflower League teams in the bracket at this weekend’s Class 6A state softball tournament at Kansas University’s Arrocha Ballpark, Olathe Northwest ranked third in the seeding.

After knocking off No. 5 Washburn Rural, 9-1, in the title game — just hours after topping No. 2 Goddard, 8-2, in the semifinals — the sixthseeded Ravens stood tall as the top team in the state.

“This makes up for last year,” Olathe Northwest coach Mark Mahoney said of his team’s struggles at state in 2010. “(Last

year), we were kind of predicted to win, and this year we were the dark horse.”

Under cloudy skies that brought a mixture of light rain and windy conditions, Northwest topped all comers to improve to 21-4.

The title game was tight in the beginning, but the Ravens blew things open in the fifth inning.

Northwest struck first with a run in the first, and Washburn Rural tied the game at 1 in the bottom of the second.

The Ravens added two in the third and six in the fifth to take control.

“It was all about our

offense,” Mahoney said. “We came up with big hit after big hit.”

Northwest and Rural survived one-run contests in the opening round to reach the state title game. The Ravens upended Maize, 7-6, in their opener, and the Junior Blues knocked off Olathe South, 1-0, Friday.

In the third-place game Saturday, No. 2 Goddard outlasted No. 1 Olathe East, 7-6. East, which entered the tournament unbeaten and knocked off No. 8 Lawrence High, 11-0 in five innings, in the opening round, finished the season 232.

“Overall, I am pleased with

our performance here this weekend,” Kansas coach Stanley Redwine said. “We had a couple of disappointments and a few people who really stepped up in big moments, and that is usually what happens with track and field. You cannot predict the weather or other conditions.”

Indians 7, Rays 3 ST. PETERSBURG, FLA. — Shelley Duncan and Orlando Cabrera each had two RBIs, Carlos Carrasco pitched six solid innings, and Cleveland beat Tampa.

Duncan, who was pinchhitting, and Cabrera both had two-run singles during the eighth to put Cleveland ahead 7-2.

Duncan had a bases-loaded drive off J.P. Howell that hit high off the left-field wall, but he was held to a single because it looked like outfielder Sam Fuld might be able to catch the ball.

Red Sox-Tigers, ppd.

D E T R O I T — The game between Boston and Detroit has been postponed because of rain.

The third game of the series

didn’t start Saturday night. It was postponed after a delay of 1 hour, 25 minutes.

Light rain began to fall about 10 minutes after the scheduled start and it quickly got heavier without much relief in sight on radar maps.

Twins 1, Angels 0, 10 innings M I N N E A P O L I S — Danny Valencia hit a bases-loaded single in the bottom of the 10th inning, lifting Minnesota to a victory over Los Angeles after spot starter Anthony Swarzak held the Angels hitless into the eighth.

Swarzak, a late fill-in on the mound for Francisco Liriano, gave up a one-out double in the eighth to Peter Bourjos for the Angels’ first hit. Liriano, who pitched a no-hitter May 3, was scratched the day before because of shoulder soreness.

Athletics 4, Orioles 2 O A K L A N D , C A L I F . — Coco Crisp had two hits and drove in the go-ahead run to help Oakland beat Baltimore.

Mark Ellis hit a home run, and Josh Willingham and Kevin Kouzmanoff also drove in runs for the A’s, who have won four of their last five following a season-high sixgame losing streak.

Adam Jones and Craig Tatum each drove in runs for the Orioles, who have lost 11 of their last 12 games in Oakland.

Josh Outman, in his second start since returning to the majors for the first time in two years, allowed two runs and six hits over six innings. He walked five.

Outman (1-0) earned his first major-league victory since June 8, 2009 against the Minnesota Twins.

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -WORLD

Wade’s whirlwind year ends with finals M IAMI (AP ) — Only a year ago, everything in Dwyane Wade’s life was uncertain.

Former business partners had brought a combination of civil lawsuits, seeking somewhere around $100 million in what they said was the earnings potential of some failed deals. His yearslong divorce battle was still unsettled.

Another courtroom fight was looming for custody of his two sons. And the free-agent period was fast-approaching.

“Very long year,” Wade said Saturday. “Very, very long year.”

Alas, it comes with a very,

very sweet opportunity to close this chapter.

Wade is heading back to the NBA finals for the second time. When his Miami Heat open the series at home against the Dallas Mavericks — the franchise they beat in 2006 as well — on Tuesday night, it’ll be exactly 52 weeks after the four civil suits were settled in what was an overwhelming victory for his side.

With that, everything started falling into place.

Wade got his divorce. He stayed in Miami. He got LeBron James and Chris Bosh to join him. He got Udonis

Haslem to stay with him. He got custody of his kids. The Heat won 58 games, endured some major bumps along the way, needed only 10 games to get past Chicago and Boston on the way to the Eastern Wade Conference title, and now stand four wins from the ring.

“This would be the capper,” said Tragil Wade, the Heat star’s sister. “My mom has

been saying this since his 29th birthday in January: ’This will be the year and he will be rewarded. It’ll be in his favor.

It will end in his favor.’ So even now, it’s all about belief.

We’ve always had belief.

When things are good, when things are bad, we always have to have belief.”

The first championship was great, sure.

After the last 12 months, for Wade, a second title would be monumentally more enjoyable.

“I know him better than anybody and I saw the toll that it kind of took on him,”

Haslem said of the past year for one of his closest friends.

“Through all that, he stayed professional. I think he’s used basketball as an outlet, as many of us do, and when it was all over and he was fortunate enough to get custody of his kids, I saw a light just shining around him.”

That light hasn’t always been there, of course. Wade’s story is well-known, starting with an incredibly rough upbringing in Chicago, leaning on his sister as the maternal influence for many years when his mother — Jolinda, now a minister who turned

her own life around — wasn’t there for her children for an array of reasons.

Basketball was the escape, taking him away from the problems in Chicago to Marquette, then from Marquette to Miami. It has given him wealth and fame, and now — after a season unlike any other, where the Heat were as scrutinized as perhaps any team in NBA history — it has brought him to the cusp of a second championship.

“Basketball,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said, “has always been Dwyane’s sanctuary.”

Indy celebrates 100 years INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — When Alex Tagliani leads the 33-car field into the first turn of the Indianapolis 500, he’ll be tugging along a century’s worth of triumphs, thrills and tragedy.

But in this, the 100th anniversary of America’s most famous race, the focus is clearly on the future.

The IndyCar series is showing signs of emerging from 15 years of irrelevance, a period of darkness that began with an open-wheel war between two feuding series and ended with a peace agreement hardly anyone noticed.

The sport that produced such giants as A.J. Foyt, Mario Andretti and Rick Mears found itself relegated to niche status. Heck, there were even empty seats at the Brickyard, a sight no one could have envisioned a couple of decades ago.

“There was almost a lost generation,” Andretti moaned. “There were those 15 years where things were precarious, at best.”

Now, there’s a semblance of hope. Two new manufacturers will enter the series in 2012, powering a futuristic new machine. The field for this year’s 500 is undoubtedly deeper and more talented than it has been since the glory days. Sponsorships are up, attendance is improving and an energetic new leader seems willing to try anything that might bring more attention to the sport.

In a sense, today’s race can be seen as a jumping-off point to a new era (and, no, we’re not talking about the giant orange ramp set up on the infield for a Hot Wheels promotional stunt before the green flag waves).

“I’m proud of the series for what we’ve done, for all the hard work we’ve put in,” said Danica Patrick, who has just one win in her career but remains the only driver widely known outside of IndyCar circles.

Of course, the fact that

INDYCAR DRIVER RYAN BRISCOE SIGNS an autograph for a fan Saturday at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Indianapolis. The 100th anniversary running of the Indianapolis 500 is today. everyone is wondering whether Patrick will bolt to a more prof itable gig in NASCAR next year shows the checkered flag remains in the distance. No matter what happens, there’s still plenty of work to be done.

A third of the field is composed of part-time drivers, most of whom are doing Indyonly deals and hope it leads to something bigger Look at Dan Wheldon, a former race winner who should be in the prime of his career. He was squeezed out of his last job, and this is the only sure thing on his schedule in 2011. Look at Townsend Bell, who has finished as high as fifth at Indy and will start from the inside of the second row. Asked what’s on his schedule for the rest of the year, he replied, “Well, there’s Christmas. And New Year’s, I guess.”

Good line, but not good for IndyCar. “I stopped many years ago trying to rationalize or problem-solve the racing industry,” Bell said. “I’m resigned to the fact that if I just go out and win the damn race, everything else will probably take care of itself.”

Randy Bernard, who was brought in from the Professional Bull Riders series to bring some pizazz to IndyCar, has certainly shown he’s will-

ing to shake thing up. One of his changes — double-file restarts, which are used in NASCAR — has drawn the ire of the drivers. They see them as impractical with the highspeed, open-wheel machines, which can’t go banging into each other like the good ol’ boys.

Tagliani, the surprising pole-winner, was one of the most outspoken critics. He fears that today’s race could turn into a gruesome crashfest. He even went so far as to raise the possibility of debris flying into the stands and injuring someone in the massive crowd of more than 200,000.

“I don’t want to be responsible for that,” the Canadian said. “If our wheels touch while we’re racing side-byside, all of a sudden cars are going to be flipping.”

IndyCar off icials have promised extra sweeping in the corners during caution periods to provide a wider racing g roove, but they appear unwilling to back off from the double-file concept. If nothing else, it has given people something to talk about, which might have been the main purpose all along.

“It’s brought a lot of new controversy and attention to the sport, in a good and positive way,” Bernard said.

Penske’s NASCAR team is an enigma C O N C O R D , N . C . ( AP ) — To hear Kurt Busch talk, his race team is struggling mightily and maybe some behind-thescenes changes will save the season.

Then there’s Brad Keselowski, excited about three weeks of progress that have him enjoying his best stretch yet in NASCAR’s elite Sprint Cup Series.

That’s the enigma that is Penske Racing right now.

Keselowski will start the Coca-Cola 600 from the pole, while defending race winner Busch will go off 26th in today’s race.

Keselowski doesn’t sugarcoat things, and readily admits the NASCAR side of Penske’s motorsports operation has areas that need improvement.

But he does it thoughtfully and with an eagerness that good things are coming.

Busch is quite the opposite.

He’s beyond being hopeful, and his assessments and outlook both seem dreary. He’s also angry with the media for harping on his in-race radio communications, which have gone from maniacal rants to

near despondency over the last month.

It’s created the good copbad cop perception, even though both drivers want the same thing.

“He definitely has a different approach,” Keselowski said. “To be honest, if he didn’t have that approach, I probably would adopt it because you keep trying different things until you get what you want. I spent all last year being quiet and not saying, ‘Hey, this car is really, really bad’ to the media. But they were really, really bad.

“At the same time, Kurt was running well and I didn’t have a leg to stand on with that. This year, obviously my cars have gotten better. Kurt has had his struggles. But it’s somewhat refreshing to have someone that can speak up have a voice, have the credibility of being a past champion and past winner and those around him perhaps listen more intently.”

It’s such a far cry from Roger Penske’s esteemed IndyCar operation, which will attempt to win its 16th Indianapolis 500 today.

Brother with mental health problems needs to move out Dear Annie: My parents adopted my brother, “Kyle,” when he was 6 weeks old. As he grew up, it was apparent that something wasn’t right.

When Kyle was 18, he was diagnosed as bipolar and schizophrenic and was put on a cocktail of medications. He is now 30 and living at home with my father. (Mom passed away a few months ago.)

Dad and I have noticed recently that Kyle doesn’t appear to be taking his medications. He insists he is being compliant, but he is so delusional that he claims my father’s house is actually his and my father needs to move out. He is constantly stealing money from Dad and has a horrible gambling problem.

The small amount he gets from Social Security is gone the minute his fingers touch it.

Dad is in control of Kyle’s bills and gives him a monthly allowance, but when it’s gone, Kyle harasses Dad for more.

My father feels like a prisoner in his own home. He won’t throw Kyle out of the house, although we have considered admitting him into an adult home. We know Kyle will not go willingly. We don’t know what to do. Please help. — Going Crazy

maybe we should go outside and enjoy the nice weather, but she just waves me off. But if I ask to use the computer, she gets angry and says that we should go outside. It’s like I’m a third wheel when she’s playing with her electronics.

Cara and I have had fights in the past, and I always forgive her because I don’t like to hold a grudge. But I am wondering if I should end our friendship.

Do you have any suggestions?

— Fickle Friendship

Dear Friend: You can try to But your father should get him out of the house, not only “reprogram” Cara by saying for his own sake, but for Kyle’s. At some point, Kyle will need to learn how to live independently, and the longer he avoids it, the harder it will be to adjust. You may need legal assistance to remove Kyle, but we hope that won’t deter you. The situation will not improve if nothing is done to change it. We also suggest you contact the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance (dbsalliance.org) at 1-800826-3632 for help.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Sunday, May 29: This year, a lot happens quite quickly, and you often might feel that you don't have the control you desire. If you are attached, you gain from being together more often. If you are single, a friendship could become more. Be careful, and don't decide out of the blue that this is the one. Taurus makes an excellent healer.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You'll Have: 5Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) ★★★ You finally know that there is a change coming. My dear Ram, you have been on quite a roll.

Stay centered. Tonight: Take another look at a parent or older relative.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ★★★★★ Finally, you are rejuvenated, feeling as if the world really is your oyster. Whether off at an artistic or musical production makes little difference — your mind takes off for its private never-never land. Tonight: So what if tomorrow is Monday? It is also Memorial Day! Gemini (May 21-June 20) ★★★ Know when to take your own advice and keep mum. The less said at the moment, the better off

Baldwin boys, girls tie for first in 4A

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -WORLD

Triple jumpers spark LHS boys to 15th

By Ben Ward Journal-World Sports Writer

WICHITA — Even with their knees fatigued and swollen from a season’s worth of jumps, Lawrence High triple jumpers Austin Flory and —— Steven Hill had plenty of Strong finishes spring left.

Flory and Hill each set new lift Bulldogs personal-best distances in the triple jump and took third and

By Jimmy Gillispie seventh, respectively, at the jgillispie@theworldco.info Class 6A state track and field championships at Wichita W I C H I T A — Baldwin High State University’s Cessna Statrack and field teams left here with a pair of tied championships Saturday night.

Both BHS teams trailed heading into the final event, but finished first and third, which earned them a tie for the first-place trophy.

“We battled through so much this year with injuries and other things, but these kids worked so hard and they believed they could do it,” BHS boys coach Mike Spielman said. “They didn’t get down about things, and they kept getting better and better every meet. Then we won league, regional and state.”

The BHS girls won the 1,600-meter relay to finish the meet with its only state championship event. Colby placed sixth in the race, which forced a tie atop the Class 4A team standings.

On the boys’ side, Louisburg led Baldwin by six Jeff Tuttle/Special to the Journal-World points heading into the 1,600 relay. Baldwin finished third FREE STATE’S KAIN ANDERSON and tied its Frontier League competes in the 1,600. foes.

dium on Saturday afternoon.

Flory, a senior who took seventh at state last year, hit his mark of 45 feet, 1 inch on his first jump in the prelims, while Hill reached 43-41⁄2 on his final jump in the prelims.

“I was just excited,” said Flory, whose knees already had begun to swell before he could accept his medal on the podium. “I was so pumped up.”

“I’m psyched,” Hill said.

“Just, first year coming to state, and medaling is just over the top.”

Bolstered by Saturday’s

efforts from Flory and Hill and Blake Hocking’s shot put title Friday, the LHS boys team finished in 15th in the team race with 17 points.

Flory leaped 44-21⁄4, 43-81⁄2 and 44-8 in his three finals attempts, but his first jump carried him to third, a few inches shy of Wichita Heights standout Taylor Cross’ mark of 45-43⁄4.

Hill had virtually nothing left in the f inals and scratched his two f inal attempts because of soreness in his knees. Still, the junior

sported a big grin before taking the podium in his first appearance at state.

“He can come back and easily get first place next year,” Flory said of Hill. “He just needs to work hard this summer and during the season.”

In the boys high jump, LHS senior Scott Dunlap took eighth after clearing the bar at 6 feet. He missed in all three attempts at 6-2.

The girls 4x800 relay team — Michala Ruder, Alexis Schiebler, Emily Davidson,

Payton Covert — finished 14th in 10:22.37.

A day after capturing gold in the shot put, Hocking was disappointed in his showing in the discus. Hocking, who came in seeded ninth (140-2), mustered a throw of only 1273 and settled for 14th place.

“It was my worst day (at discus) of the year,” Hocking said, before pausing and managing a smile. “I’d be super down if not for (yesterday), though.”

FREE STATE’S AUSTIN HOAG clears the bar in the high jump. Hoag won the event Saturday in Wichita.

6-4 — and watched as the misses began to pile up for his competitors.

And when top-seeded Wichita Southeast’s Dexter Hayes had two woeful jumps at 6-0 and 6-2, the smile on Hoag’s face began to grow.

“It definitely gave me confidence because I knew it would come down to the misses since we were all in the same spot,” Hoag said.

Hoag and Blue Valley Northwest’s Jonny Giess and Olathe South’s Kendal Harland all had three attempts to clear 6-6 in the finals — a

height Harland had cleared earlier this year.

Both Giess and Harland missed each of their first three attempts, and Hoag missed his first two. Though he readied for his final jump knowing he had won, Hoag still wanted to top his personal best.

Hoag couldn’t add to his high school record, but called it the best miss of his career.

“It’s great,” Hoag said. “I wasn’t expecting this at all.”

The boys 4x800 relay team was hoping for a win to send out seniors Preston Newsome

and Logan Sloan, but settled for second — despite running a season-best time of 8:01.07.

After a blazing 800 on the first leg by Stan Skwarlo — who took fifth in the 800 as an individual at 2:00.19 — Sloan and Newsome put the Firebirds in good position for Kain Anderson.

Anderson furiously brought himself into first place heading into the final 200 meters, running stridefor-stride with Shawnee Mission Northwest’s Aaron Thornburg.

Thornburg, a foe Anderson

said he has been trying to solve for the past two-plus seasons, had just enough burst to edge Anderson by less than half a second.

Anderson also took seventh in the 1,600 (4:27.92), and Newsome took 10th (4:32.03).

“He’s got a really good kick,” Anderson said. “I tried my best. I’ve always thought I have a really good kick. It was tough to come so close.”

“I’m really proud of all four of us,” Anderson added. “I’m happy. I’m really happy. It was a good race.”

Growing up on a farm in the small town Larned, a young Hamilton Lewis used to fly his miniature U.S.S. Enterprise toy around the room and wonder how it would look flying by the camera.

These days, he’s an animator at DreamWorks Animation, and the man who played Captain Kirk in the “Star Trek” reboot — Chris Pine — is voicing one of the main characters in his new movie.

There’s no rest for a rough layout artist at DreamWorks, so the new project “Rise of the Guardians” is already in preproduction as “Kung Fu Panda 2,” Lewis’ latest finished film, hit theaters Thursday.

Lewis was one of six rough layout

[

artists to work on the highly anticipated sequel, and he understands that’s not a job title that people instantly understand unlike director, editor or producer. Essentially, the rough layout artist is one of the cinematographers of an animated film.

“I am responsible for translating each sequence of the story from 2D drawn storyboards that block out the general look and feel of a scene,” Lewis says, “into a workable 3D space in the computer, which will then become the blueprint for the rest of the departments down the pipeline to work on.”

While some animators work on very specific elements like character effects, crowds, matte painting, lighting and luster, what the rough layout artist does is more like old-fashioned movie storytelling. The difference is that animators are not tethered by the limita-

“We always joked that we could have been in Antarctica because we spent every waking hour of the day and night in the cold, dark computer labs. It takes a great deal of time to make animation and a great deal of work to learn all the software and principles of animation in order to do it well.”

— Hamilton Lewis, a 2005 Free State High School graduate and DreamWorks animator, on attending design school in Florida

tions of shooting what’s in front of the camera like a traditional film cinematographer is because of the nature of computer-generated animation.

Because it is all computer-generated, they have full control over the movement of the “camera,” the actor’s “performance” and pretty much everything that’s in the scene.

But it’s not all just a bunch of superspecific technical minutiae. On “Kung Fu Panda 2,” Lewis and his fellow artists worked closely with director Jennifer Yuh Nelson at each stage of the process to make sure that every sequence established and strengthened the emotional connection and visual experience for the audience.

Lewis lived in Lawrence since he was a fifth-grader, and he had a clear

friend Diane called the other day to chat about several petrelated concerns that had come to her attention, and that was a good reminder to me about a problem that we still have here in Lawrence, especially this time of year.

While our country is not exactly still living Frederick Jackson Turner’s Frontier Thesis, new construction in many cities and towns across the United States is still pushing our boundaries into the forests and plains surrounding us. Every year we hear stories from other states about bears and deer who, having lost their natural habitats, start wandering into towns, causing panic and damage as they try to find enough food to survive.

We’re witness to the same thing here in Lawrence, only on a smaller scale. Probably all of us have heard, if not seen, coyotes around Clinton Parkway. I even saw one a year or two ago crossing 15th Street in the area of the Lied Center.

Birds of prey (raptors and owls) are also prevalent in the area.

Another friend of mine who lives near the Holcom Sports Complex by the Kansas Highway 10 bypass has commented in the past of a

particularly noisy owl who sometimes perches on her roof around midnight to survey the scene and loudly announce his findings.

While it’s an unfortunate situation, this blending of people and wild animals also poses another problem that we pet owners need to keep in mind: Wild hunters don’t always make a distinction between wild prey and domestic.

If the normal wild food sources, which they prefer, are in short supply during the season, anything on four legs that’s catchable is fair game, so to speak.

I’ve heard more than my share of stories of pets just disappearing from back yards after the owners heard a single piercing scream from their dog or cat. This Please see CRITTER, page 2C

BEHIND THE LENS

Unobtrusive positioning nets better photo angles

By Mike Yoder myoder@ljworld.com

Cameras can be considered fairly aggressive tools. Even the terminology is somewhat threatening. Aim a camera.

Shoot a photograph. Taking this to an extreme, The Camera Store in Calgary, Canada, produced a hilarious video, “Battle at F-Stop Ridge,” spoofing cameras as weapons of war. You have to check it out. (See this column online for a link to the video.)

Motor drives and long telephoto lenses can make cameras look and sound aggressive. Like machine guns, motor drives can rattle off 7 noisy frames a second. They increase your chances at capturing a moving subject but they can also disrupt a quiet scene. Long lenses help frame distant subjects but are intimidating up close. Most hobbyist photographers don’t have access to these tools, but I imagine they believe they would improve their photography if they added them to their tool kit. Personally, I’d opt for camouflage and go with the stealthy approach.

During an average workweek few situations arise where I have to rely on a motordrive or long lenses to document a sub-

idea of what he wanted to do even before he graduated from Free State High School in 2005. “Back to the Future” is one of his biggest inspirations, so spending a summer taking two film classes at the University of Southern California, where its director Robert Zemeckis graduated, was a natural choice.

Won over by the freedom of computer animation, Lewis finished his senior year at Free State and applied for admission to the Ringling College of Art and Design in Sarasota, Fla. He was accepted and spent most of his time in sunny Florida sitting in front of glowing computer screens, a reality not lost on him or his classmates.

“We always joked that we could have been in Antarctica because we spent every waking hour of the day and night in the cold, dark computer labs,” Lewis says. “It takes a great deal of time to make animation and a great deal of work to learn all the software and principles of animation in order to do it well.”

Four years later, Lewis’ senior thesis short film “Cadillac ‘59,” was one of nine finalists nominated for a Student Academy Award, and he was interviewing at every major Hollywood animation studio on the West Coast. Pixar offered him an internship, and DreamWorks offered him a job, so he went with DreamWorks — and his first movie project as a rough layout artist was last year’s Oscar-nominated “How to Train Your Dragon.”

Even though 3D computer animation is his specialty, Lewis and his cohorts still look to classic movies and great cinematographers for inspiration. Roger Deakins, who shot “Fargo,” “The Shawshank Redemption” and “No Country for Old Men,” is currently a creative consultant on “Rise of the Guardians,” and Lewis considers him an invaluable mentor.

“A lot of times each artist will bring in a stack of movies to look at before we even start a sequence. We’ll know we are looking for specific things — a lighting key, a camera move, a cinematic style, a transitional element — and then we’ll proceed to look through particular scenes and find different pieces from each movie that we like and combine them along with some of our own ideas to form something completely new,” he says.

For “Kung Fu Panda 2,” he and the other artists watched “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon,” a lot of old Bruce Lee movies, Jackie Chan movies and some Jet Li films.

In particular, Lewis himself was responsible for a new sequence that calls back the training montage from the first “Kung Fu Panda,” so he had to study that as well.

Since most computer-animated films are 3D these days, and “Kung Fu Panda 2” is no exception, Lewis is gaining experience in that direction as well. Part of his job is to be the first artist to conceptualize how much, where and why stereoscopic 3D will be incorporated into each sequence.

“Everything from what’s in front of the screen, on the screen, or behind it is carefully coordinated to draw audience’s attentions to key things,” Lewis says, “so that the 3D effects serve to propel the story forward in the most organic and visually pleasing way possible.”

For a 24-year-old animator, Lewis has a bright future ahead of him. He hopes to become head of layout on a movie sometime in the next several years but for now is content to keep working and spend his time off watching more movies and gaining more knowledge about his craft.

“I’m one of those guys that has an entire wall of movies, both classic and new, that I love to come home to and watch while cooking dinner and unwinding,” he says.

happens more commonly around areas that border undeveloped land and at houses that back up to golf courses.

Small domestic pets are particularly vulnerable. Just a week ago I read an amazing story of a toy poodle who fell from the sky into the yard of a nursing home north of Vancouver, Canada, with claw marks in her back from where she had struggled away from the raptor who had seized her. This particular little girl had had quite an adventure: The vets who examined her determined that she had either been in an abusive situation or been a stray for quite some time, given her overall poor physical condition.

This dog’s fortunate escape from the bird resulted in her ultimate rescue and hope for a full recovery, but it also points out the problem — small animals in particular can be at risk.

This doesn’t mean that our larger dogs won’t also try to tangle with a coyote caught trespassing. Sometimes these dogs become so determined to guard their property that they’ll scale a fence to tangle with a predator.

Remember that the phrase “eagle eye” isn’t just a phrase. Owls and raptors are silent and swift. They can detect the slightest movement, and they can be watching when we don’t know they’re around. I remember seeing a video clip of a little boy who had taken his hamster out of its cage in the back yard to let it stretch, and the camera caught the sad scene as a raptor swooped down and snatched up the family pet right in front of the startled boy and his father.

What do we do to safeguard our pets, particularly if we have cats or small dogs?

“

Remember that the phrase ‘eagle eye’ isn’t just a phrase. Owls and raptors are silent and swift. They can detect the slightest movement, and they can be watching when we don’t know they’re around.”

California deals with this problem more consistently than we do. Freelance writer Ruth Stroud interviewed William Taber, a wildlife officer from the SPCA in Pomona, about the problem.

In her resulting article for the L.A. Times, Taber told Stroud that the best way to protect against coyotes and other large predators is to keep pets inside, especially at night, or in a fenced-in area. He also recommended that the fence be at least 6 feet high and that a rollertop extension be added to keep any incoming animals out. In addition, Stroud’s article offered the following helpful suggestions that can be used here in the Midwest: ● Install motion-detector lights along the perimeter of your property, because most wild animals tend to shy away from lighted areas. ● Feed pets inside. ● Spay and neuter your pets to prevent them roaming and getting into turf wars. ● Dispose of ripe fruit on trees or on the ground that might attract coyotes, or rodents, which in turn attract larger predators. ● Trim overgrown trees and bushes that may provide cover for coyotes. ● Remove birdfeeders, since they also draw rabbits, squirrels, mice and gophers.

Mostly, we just need to be vigilant. Take precautions, stay aware, and keep your furry family safe this summer.

Organizers finalize lineup for Kanrocksas

By Trevan McGee trevan@lawrence.com

Last week, organizers behind the Kanrocksas music festival announced the final lineup of the show, adding the final national acts and a DJ tent for those with the itch to bump and grind. (Note: If the itch is literal, please seek a doctor, as it’s probably contagious.)

Those added to the show, which will take place Aug. 56 at the Kansas Speedway, include Cage The Elephant, Bassnectar, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, Ween, Ellie Goulding, Best Coast, OK Go, The Black Angels, Beats Antique, John Digweed, Kerli and The Joy Formidable.

In addition to this lineup, single-day tickets were also announced. They are $89.50 until June 3, when they will bump up to $99 even. The tickets will stay at $99 until July 9, when the price will increase again to $109. On the days of the show, single-day passes will run you an even $120. At the same time, two-day passes will stay at $179 until the day of the show, which will put them at $225.

Procrastinators, consider yourself warned.

As for the daily lineups, the promoters managed to mix newer bands with older, more experienced festival acts.

That said, I’m personally more excited for Saturday. It’s light on hip-hop, which is disappointing, but is the more

ject. I prefer getting closer to the subject, paying attention to my environment and remaining as unobtrusive as possible until a significant visual moment occurs. This work method has served me well for many years. Whenever I speak to young photojournalism students I introduce them to a three-step technique which I believe leads to improved photographs. I’ve even given it a name. Meet P.A.T. Position (P): Look for a vantage point that provides a clear view of the subject and a background that is not disruptive. At the same time determine what field of view you want to capture and choose an appropriate lens.

Anticipation (A): Good photos take time to develop, and good photographers learn to be patient and antic-

ipate subject action and reaction. Since you’ve already established a position and selected a lens, you can now concentrate on watching events unfold, alert to visual moments. It helps to keep your camera to your eye or be pre-focused on a subject so you are ready to snap the shutter.

Timing (T): All your preparation has led up to this moment. When you recognize a significant action occurring; whether a big smile or a slide into home plate, you’re ready to press the shutter.

This attention and preparation for photographing a subject can result in distinctive photographs. The trick is to recognize the possibility in all subjects and be prepared with P.A.T. at all times.

ATTRACTIVE ISLANDS Careful planning must go into the design and execution of a kitchen island in order for it to turn out to be as aesthetically pleasing as it is functional. It should neither dominate the space nor be so small that it is less than optimally useful.

A kitchen island should also unite the various functions on opposing walls by shortening the distances between cooking, cleaning, prepping, and serving areas. An island should also open up to a pleasing view, such as an eating area, entry door, or an exterior window/door. And of course, there has to be sufficient room around the island for traffic to flow. Otherwise, a kitchen island is more of a hindrance than a help.

An island can be one of the trickiest things to design in a kitchen. So why not leave it up to an expert? Our professional designers will discover your unique needs and then we’ll design a kitchen that fits your space, your budget, and your style, including the perfect island. Come to Kitchen & Bath Designs today to get started!

A greater journey McCullough’s new book: It happens in Paris

By Hillel Italie Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON — It’s hard to keep up with David McCulMaud Humphrey, lough at the Smithsonian’s KU employee, National Portrait Gallery.

Lawrence “I think it’s one of the real “’The American Scene’ by treasures of the capital city, Henry James. It’s essays really of the country,” says the about America at the turn of 77-year-old historian during a the 18th century.” recent afternoon interview, excited as a school boy as he walks quickly along hallways, up and down stairs, from room to room.

“Here’s the painting I wanted to show you,” he says, stopping in front of an oil portrait

by Abraham Archibald Anderson of a pensive, bowtied Thomas Edison.

“This has a nice story. Edison came to the World’s Fair in Paris in 1889. That was the fair that introduced the Eiffel Tower to the world. He had KC Stanton, some 400 of his inventions on teacher, display and was a sensation.

Lawrence The crowds followed him “’Orange Crush’ by Tim everywhere. The electric Dorsey. It’s about a serial light was already transformkiller named Serge Storms. ing Paris, let alone the world.

It’s kind of funny. Set in So he hid to get away from the Florida.” paparazzi and the crowds. He stayed with a friend of his (Anderson), and Anderson painted this portrait of him while he was in the studio.”

He points out George Catlin’s sketches of American Indians, and a bronze bust of Abraham Lincoln by Augustus Saint-Gaudens.

George Healy is a special passion. McCullough marvels over Healy’s portraits of fiery eyed South Carolina senator John C. Calhoun; a semiKristie Campbell, casual Union Gen. William interior designer, Tecumseh Sherman, coat Lawrence unbuttoned, hat in hand; a “’Crazy for the Storm’ by youthful take of Lincoln, Norman Ollestad.

“He painted this at the time of the attack on Fort Sumter.

It ran only a short while after he had painted Lincoln in Illinois,” McCullough says of Healy. “The guy is like Forrest Gump. He keeps showing up wherever history is going on.”

The artists he discusses share two vital qualities,

They’re getting ready to execute this guy down in Texas, so it’s a mad scramble.”

IN THIS MAY 13 PHOTO, historian and author David McCullough is interviewed about his new book, “The Greater Journey,” at the National Portrait Gallery, in Washington. The book is about Americans in Paris.

McCullough says. They all spent at least some time in Paris and they all are in the same business as he is. They are historians, documenting the people, the customs and the conflicts of a given era.

McCullough believes that artists share the glory of the presidents and military leaders he has celebrated, and he honors the creative spirit in his new book, “The Greater Journey.” It’s a new telling of a classic American experience — living in Paris — inspired by the most dreary of American experiences, the traffic jam. McCullough was stuck a few years ago in Washington’s Sheridan Circle, where he had little better to do than stare at the equestrian statue of the circle’s namesake, Union general Philip Sheridan.

“I was looking over at him and wondering how many people who drive around this circle every day had any idea who he was,” McCullough

says as he drinks from a cup of lemonade in the museum’s courtyard. “And at the same time I was thinking about that, Gershwin’s ‘Rhapsody in Blue’ was playing on the radio.

“And I thought, ‘Who is the more important person in American history. Who is the more important expression of who we are?”’ he says. “And ‘Rhapsody in Blue’ started me thinking about Gershwin’s ‘An American in Paris.’ I grew up in Pittsburgh. (‘American in Paris’ star) Gene Kelly grew up in Pittsburgh. And it all sort of connects.”

McCullough won a Pulitzer Prize a decade ago for his biography of John Adams and his new book is meant to validate Adams’ belief that his generation should study war and politics so that the grandchildren can pursue the fine arts. “The Greater Journey” begins decades after the Revolutionary War has been won, in the 1830s. McCullough ends in the early 20th century and

doesn’t bother with the stories he reasons that readers already know: Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin in the 1780s; Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald in the 1920s.

Instead, he tells of novelist James Fenimore Cooper befriending painter and future inventor Samuel Morse, Catlin arriving with an entourage of Iowa Indians, the parallel lives of painters Mary Cassatt and John Singer Sargent, who stayed and worked in Paris around the same time but hardly knew each other.

He frames the narrative, in part, around visits by author and lecturer Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. He is first seen as a medical student eager for distance from his Puritan father, then 50 years later, as a widower and international celebrity, paying an unannounced visit to Louis Pasteur so he could “look in his face and take his hand, nothing more.” Midway through the book, McCullough devotes a long section to the German siege of Paris in 187071 and quotes extensively from rarely seen journals by the U.S. ambassador to France, Elihu Washburne.

“That’s one of the biggest pleasures — that I learned so much. I love it when I’m learning something. That for me is the pull of the work,” he says. “I had a terrific time with every book I’ve written, but this is the best time I’ve ever had. I’ve had more pure joy in writing this book.

Structurally, the form is my own creation. I cast it with my own characters. There’s no obligatory group I had to write about, no narrative chronology I had to follow.”

McCullough is a millionselling author, a two-time Pulitzer-winning biographer of Presidents Adams and Harry Truman, and perhaps the most recognized historian alive today, with his white hair, jowls and fatherly baritone. But as a boy, and as a young man, he wanted to paint. At age 10, he was dazzled when his art teacher, Miss Mavis Bridgewater, demonstrated the two-point perspective on the blackboard. In college, Yale University, he worked at being a portrait artist.

If artists are really historians, then historians, ideally, are artists, he says. He sees himself as a kind of painter, “drawn to the human subject,” he once wrote, “to people and their stories.”

Los Angeles Times

For some, a book club means Chardonnay, gossip and some bookish conversation. For Oprah Winfrey, it’s meant making bestsellers and, as she said last week, “the biggest controversy in our 25 years.”

As her broadcast television show came to a close, Winfrey welcomed the reason for that controversy — the not-truthful memoirist James Frey — onto two full shows of her final 10, putting her once-vital Book Club back at the center of the national discussion.

Oprah’s Book Club launched quietly in 1996, and a nod soon became a sure shot to the bestseller list and a windfall for publishing as a whole.

“It’s the ultimate book club; it’s very broad and very deep,” Jonathan Galassi, president and publisher of the prestigious publishing house Farrar, Straus & Giroux, said in a telephone interview. “It’s been a wonderful enhancement to publishing fiction.”

In the club’s heyday, Winfrey selected about 10 books a year — she’s remembered for choosing family-focused novels but was equally supportive of challenging literary f iction. She would announce the much-anticipated next book on the air,

Winfrey

give viewers a few months to buy and read it, then have the author appear on her show in a bookclub-dis-

cussion setting.

No one in publishing had expected Winfrey’s impact on their industry’s bottom line after the media maven energized an enthusiastic and dedicated group of readers.

Los Angeles-based author Janet Fitch was a virtual unknown when her book “White Oleander” was selected for Winfrey’s club in 1999; the selection helped sell 720,000 copies before the author even appeared on the show.

“I’d spent basically 20 years just living a writer’s life,” Fitch said recently in Los Angeles.

She’d never considered that her book, which features a difficult mother and a daughter left to the foster-care system, might find a wide readership.

“Oprah said it would go over a million by the time it was all over, and it was true.”

Hollywood also jumped to attention — film rights to Fitch’s novel were sold on the sidewalk outside of Book Soup in West Hollywood, and Michelle Pfeiffer starred in

the movie version. Other books that made it to screen after being selected by Winfrey include Andre Dubus III’s “The House of Sand and Fog,” Jane Hamilton’s “A Map of the World” and Bernhard Schlink’s “The Reader.”

The Book Club had the power not only to make literary stars but also to create a national furor, as it did in 2006 when it turned out that Winfrey’s fall 2005 pick, Frey’s addiction and recovery memoir “A Million Little Pieces,” was more fiction than fact. At f irst, Frey protested his case on Larry King’s CNN talk show, during which Winfrey expressed her support; later, a visibly upset Winfrey brought Frey back onto her show. “It is difficult for me to talk to you because I really feel duped,” she said.

Her televised lashing of Frey has weighed on Winfrey’s conscience — she apologized to the author in 2009 — and by bringing him back on her show, she offered them both a chance for reconciliation and redemption. It was a very Oprah thing to do.

Although most authors’ experiences with Winfrey were less fraught, they were equally life-changing.

Winfrey often championed challenging work from literary figures such as Toni Morrison and Maya Angelou. She

Hope held in our palms Fragile as the pouf moment of dandelion wishes on a breeze Her Questions to the Wind stop grownups in their tracks make us look Heavenward.

How can you be rooted deep as a tree yet still smile nimbly from its branches?

New Lawrence label turns to cassette era “

By Joe Miller Special to the Journal-World

There’s a new music label in town, and it’s called Whatever Forever Tapes.

That’s right. Tapes. As in cassettes, those things people used to buy in the 1990s and that these days are more likely to be found in a landfill.

But Bobby Sauder, who co-founded the label with Rolf Peterson, fellow member of the band Karma Vision, says they’re the way of the future in underground music.

Sauder and Peterson got the idea when they were on tour last year, on the West Coast, and they discovered that people there were doing things on a smaller scale. “It was all DIY (do-it-yourself),” he says. “They had concert venues in people’s houses, and alternative art spaces.

“The DIY places wound up being the most fun,” he adds. “At a bar, people tend to be there to drink. At a DIY show it’s usually kids who come to hear the music.”

When they got back to Lawrence, they decided that was what they were going to do. They started Pizza Power, a DIY concert and event promotion collaborative. They’ve put on about 20 shows since August.

In January, they expanded the venture into music publishing. Since then, Whatever Forever Tapes had released “five or six” albums

The music on our label is similar not so much by genre as by the spirit or ethic of the artists.

They’d all rather be with a smaller, local label.”

by local bands.

“The music on our label is similar not so much by genre as by the spirit or ethic of the artists,” Sauder says. “They’d all rather be with a smaller, local label.”

Their catalogue is quite diverse, ranging the “folkoriented acoustic guitar piano, pedal steel guitar sound” of Blakey Bear to the experimental noise of Agent X-12, a self-proclaimed

“cyborg” who creates his own instruments, such as the “Meowtar” and the “Squibbletar.”

“At a show at our house, he released these little roach-bots,” Sauder says.

“They vibrated and kind of walked across the ground.”

The label has been doing well so far, with copies selling at Love Garden and with requests for copies coming in from points beyond

Horror Remix unites fans of B-movie, slasher flicks

By Eric Melin Special to the Journal-World

Adam Jeffers is convinced that what Lawrence needs — whether the town knows it or not — are regular, free screenings of cheesy ’80s horror flicks remixed and edited down to their basest essentials and shown in a bar.

“There’s absolutely a fanbase for this kind of thing, and I’m sure that a good part of it exists in Lawrence,” Jeffers says. “I was a fan to begin with, that’s why I wanted to bring it here and share it with my hometown.”

These methodically edited two-hour programs get rid of all the expository dialogue and slow-paced meanderings of bad B-grade horror movies and focus on all the good stuff — the scares, the gore, the nudity and the unintentional comedy.

The series, coming at 9 p.m. Tuesday to The Bottleneck, 737 Vt., is called Horror Remix and is the brainchild of Dallas artist/editor E.J. Anttila, who has recently expanded its regular showings to 10 cities in four different states.

The motto of the series is “All Killer, No Filler,” and Jeffers — who stumbled upon Horror Remix last year — contacted Anttila himself and brought it to Lawrence with the help of local promoter Eleven Productions, who also understood its inherent cultural importance. The next four months are already scheduled at The Bottleneck.

“In the decade I’ve lived here, I’ve found a lot of people in Lawrence who appreciate not only weird, obscure movies, but film in general, and the community aspect of getting together with people you like and watching films that you love,” Jeffers says.

“The midnight movie screenings at Liberty Hall and the f ilms projected onto the downtown parking garage are usually well-attended, so I’m hoping that Horror Remix can attract a healthy audience as well. I know that this is a bit more specialized, but I think that makes it more special.”

Special indeed. Horror Remix is MC’ed by two puppets named Thunderclap and Cheesecake—one is a wizard and the other a bat. After each film, these oddballs come on the screen, do a funny epilogue and introduce the next movie. Each “show” has a dif-

Kansas, including an independent record store in Japan, but they waited until Thursday to officially launch the label because they “wanted to have a big event for our launch,” he says. “We wanted to have our name out there.”

Pizza Power hosted the party at the Eighth Street Taproom, 19 E. Eighth St., not a house in the DIY tradition, because the law recent-

ly came down on them for noise violations.

“It wound up costing about $800, which kind of put a damper on things,” says Sauder, who holds a day job at Wakarusa Valley Farm. “We don’t mind getting in trouble. We just don’t have that kind of money.”

The Internet has really made it possible for small ventures like this to find their place, according to

CHANGED HIS TUNE

Special to the Journal-World

HORROR REMIX, at 9 p.m. Tuesday at the Bottleneck, 737 N.H., will be hosted by two puppets named Thunderclap and Cheesecake. ferent theme that ties it together. Tuesday’s show is called “Rush” and presents three sorority slasher films (“The House On Sorority Row,” “Killer Party” and “Hell Night”) along with extra bonus footage from other genre standouts, all in just two hours.

“The show works just like a horror anthology like ‘Trilogy of Terror,’ ‘Creepshow’ or ‘Dead of Night’: Three short films set to a theme,” Anttila says. “The only difference is my source material was not originally intended to be short. Luckily, the films I use lack the substance to legitimize a 90-minute runtime so you really can’t tell the films are edited.”

If it sounds like viewing bad movies in a group setting for fun is the ultimate in ironic detachment, don’t think for a moment that Horror Remix is some kind of audience-participation viewing experience like “Rocky Horror Picture Show.”

The cuts are strategic, designed for audiences to legitimately enjoy themselves rather than bark comments at the screen to make up for a lack of entertainment value. So Jeffers would prefer you leave your props and jokes at home.

“All the ridiculous, laughable moments are highlighted to the point where audience commentary serves as a distraction to the presentation — and, truly, an insult to the intelligence of the audience. The audience knows when to laugh. They don’t need someone else’s cue to tell them,” he says.

“As much as I love ‘Mystery Science Theater’ and its offshoots, I think it’s sort of cul-

tivated this idea that B movies and trash films can’t be enjoyed without an ongoing stream of jokes at the expense of the film,” Jeffers says. “The MST3K guys are working from a script with time cues, and they’ve rehearsed their material.

You’re not and you didn’t, so we’d appreciate the courtesy if you kept it to yourself.”

Anttila started remixing awful horror flicks almost by accident in 2007 when he was putting together clips from the slasher-in-a-mine-shaft picture “My Bloody Valentine” with the music of the UK-based band My Bloody Valentine. Midway through the process he abandoned the concept, later calling it a terrible idea.

What he discovered, however, is that slasher movies are easily adaptable as short f ilms. After some very packed house parties, Anttila upped the ante and made a themed show for a Dallas bar one Halloween. Success. By next Halloween, he was showing Horror Remix in Austin and piecing together clips for shows on a regular basis.

Anttila also gets a good idea of what’s working and what isn’t in a program by watching his remixes with a live audience. His goal is to make sure they have fun, laugh and are shocked every now and then. If there’s one thing he hopes filmgoers will take away from the Horror Remix experience, it’s this: “[I want them] to appreciate visionary filmmaking, even when there’s a lack of competence,” Anttila says.

“Making an entertaining movie is special, even when it’s poorly executed.”

Sauder. “People aren’t necessarily listening to the radio anymore,” he says.

“They’re searching for stuff on music blogs.”

The main way they’ve gotten the word out, though, is through good old word of mouth. People show up for the Pizza Power events and they’re interested and they learn about the music. They also give out stickers and buttons.

Still, this isn’t a get-richquick business. Each of the labels releases is limited to 100 copies. “It adds to the value of the tape,” he says, “because it’s kind of rare to begin with.”

For those who might have doubts about the inherent value of tapes, Sauder says it’s all a matter of perspective.

“It’s just my opinion, but CDs have lost their value,” he says. “Somebody once said to me that digital music is like fluorescent light, which represents real light but it’s not the same. Digital music represents real music, but it’s not.”

“Your Comfort is Our Business.”

Business. ”

KOVEL’S ANTIQUES

Patriotic toys have long been sought

By Terry Kovel

ONE OF THE STOPS on the Douglas County Extension Master Gardeners Tour will be the home of Debbie Hutton with her huge country garden. Part of her yard includes water features with arch bridges on the pathways.

Garden Tour offers inspiration

—

N

ext weekend, the Douglas County Extension Master Gardeners are sponsoring a tour of six private gardens to showcase sound gardening practices and good plant selections for the Lawrence area. Extension Master Gardeners will also lead tours and have plants available for sale at the always-open Demonstration Gardens at the Douglas County 4-H Fairgrounds.

Debbie Hutton is one rural Lawrence gardener who is opening her doors to tourgoers June 4-5. Debbie denies any garden interest or expertise before moving to this home with her husband, John, nine years ago.

The Huttons’ hard work since the move is evident in the winding berms and mass plantings of trees, shrubs and perennials.

Debbie says the inspiration came from wanting to add a few plants to the top of a retaining wall after having a pool installed.

“Every year after we started, I’ve added another big garden,” Hutton says. “It’s always huge and becomes my project for the year.”

Now in her seventh year of work in the yard, Hutton notes that her lack of gardening experience has led to many lessons learned. “I want it to be zero maintenance,” Hutton says, but she also notes, “It just seems like every time I looked at the garden it needed something else.” (The gardener in me wants to tell her this is part of the joy of gardening, but I suspect she knows this already.)

Viewing the garden from the back door, drifts of deep pink rose verbena (a native perennial) soften the edges of several berms. May Night salvia is a common companion.

Annabelle hydrangeas and different varieties of viburnums fill larger spaces. In the perimeter, Hutton has used mass plantings of October Glory maples and Prairie Fire crabapples to create a buffer.

Hutton says she primarily selects plants for their ability to thrive in full sun and to attract birds and butterflies.

“There are so many birds

— Debbie Hutton nesting out here now,” she says.

A small waterfall and stream add ambience in the center of the garden, and the Huttons recently had a firepit and patio area installed to allow further enjoyment of the gardens.

I was also excited to hear that the garden lacks an irrigation system.

“I drag the hose around the first year or two after I plant something to get it established,” Hutton says. “But after that it’s just rain.”

Besides the extensive plantings in the back, Hutton is using new gardens to soak up water in the front and side yards where drainage has been a problem previously.

Despite having help with the hardscape (paths, retaining walls, water feature and firepit), the Huttons have invested an incredible amount of work into creating a beautiful space.

“I don’t want to give people the impression that you have to hire someone to do this,” Hutton says, “because I really, really did it myself.”

The Master Gardeners note that the Huttons have more than 250 trees and over 1,000 shrubs on their 3-acre lot.

TOUR DETAILS

AT TOP, large berms at the Hutton property feature many plant varieties that complement a gazebo area.

This is the month we celebrate a holiday that goes back to 1868, after the Civil War. Flags were put on soldiers’ graves in the North, and Gen. John A. Logan of the Union Army declared May 30 to be “Decoration Day” for the nation. Twentyseven states celebrated it that year. Next, it became a tradition to have a Decoration Day speech and events in cemeteries. In 1866, the South celebrated its own holiday remembering Confederate soldiers, and by 1916 it was held each year on June 3, the birthday of Confederate President Jefferson Davis.

Gradually the holidays merged and came to be called “Memorial Day.” The holiday was moved to a Monday in 1968 so a long weekend was available for family events, visits to graves of family members and soldiers, and parades, speeches and flag waving. There are other days that call for flags, including the Fourth of July, Presidents Day, Flag Day and Pearl Harbor Day. Toymakers, even in Victorian times, realized that a flag on a toy made it attractive to a child, so many flags were included in playthings.

Althof Bergmann, a German toymaker, created a bell toy in 1875 that would charm anyone. Three people are riding a wheeled parade vehicle, and one of them is holding an American flag.

When the toy was wound, it ran in circles or a straight line, the bell rang and the flag waved. It is a rare antique patriotic toy that expresses the spirit of flagwaving events.

All money raised from the tour and plant sale benefit Master Gardener educational programs in Douglas County, including Junior Master Gardeners, maintenance of the Demonstration Gardens, youths and adult gardening programs, and several community partnerships. In 2010, Master Gardeners gave back more than 9,000 hours to the community to provide horticultural education.

I found a collection of World War II paperback books that are sexually explicit. Nothing is left to the imagination. I was told they were given to our servicemen overseas. Is there a market for something like this?

A:

The books you have were probably given to servicemen to explain the dangers of sexual activity in war zones. Erotica of all sorts sells, but there are laws or antique-show rules about how it is displayed, so it is rarely seen at shows or shops. Ask a local antiquarian bookseller how to sell this type of book in your area. If no one can help, try going online to antiquarian booksellers, shops or auctions that sell war memorabilia. It is part of our history and will be wanted by researchers.
