AT FRONT LEFT, JEANNE BRONOSKI AND JOHN HARROD give each other a hug on Monday at the Free State High School track with volunteers assembled to prepare for this year’s Relay For Life. Bronoski and Harrod are both cancer survivors. This year’s Relay for Life begins Friday evening at the Free State track.

Annual march against cancer set for Friday

by Meagan Thomas mthomas@ljworld.com

When Jeanne Bronoski joined the Douglas County Relay for Life Committee in its first year, she wasn’t a survivor. Her mother had battled cancer, and for the duration of the disease there was nothing Bronoski could do to help her. So,

when the opportunity to join Relay for Life came around, Bronoski thought it was an appropriate way to honor her mom.

In 1998, Bronoski was diagnosed with cancer, and her daughter, like herself years earlier, showed her support through Relay for Life. She ran 44 laps, or 11 miles, during that year’s event.

“I just sat on the side with no hair and a stupid hat, but every lap told me she loved me,” Bronoski said.

Bronoski said her daughter wasn’t the only person who helped her fight her cancer battle. When Bronoski first started treatment, she was sensitive to movements and couldn’t share a bed with her hus-

band. He slept on the kitchen floor for 10 nights because it was close to their bedroom and he could help her if she needed him.

Her story is just one of many that tell about the thoughtfulness and sacrifices that friends and families of cancer patients make.

EYUAL GETAHUN moved to the U.S. from Ethiopia when he was 6 years old.

In a roundabout way, actress Angelina Jolie gets the credit for Independence Inc.’s newly designed website, which is now fully accessible to visually impaired people using screen readers. After seeing Jolie in the movie “Hackers,” a lovelorn 12-year-old Eyual Getahun determined to learn all about computers in the hopes that if he became a hacker, he would meet Jolie.

KU grappling with multimillion dollar budget cuts

By Scott Rothschild and Matt Erickson srothschild@ljworld.com; merickson@ljworld.com

After the Kansas Legislature approved higher education budget cuts that one Kansas University official called “devastating,” KU leaders are working to figure out just where those cuts are going to fall.

Because the cuts are different from the proposed plans presented earlier by the state House and Senate, and because they come with additional stipulations about areas where KU cannot make reductions, it’s not yet clear what the specific budget effects will be at KU, spokesman Jack Martin said Monday.

by Getahun’s two-year volunteer venture, which saved the nonprofit independent living center untold thousands of dollars, that executive director Stacey Hunter Schwartz nominated him for the United Way Roger Hill Volunteer Center’s Wallace Galluzzi Outstanding Volunteer of the Year Award.

TOPEKA — Conservative Republicans flexed their muscle during the 2013 Legislature, and it will be up to Kansas voters to decide whether that’s a good thing.

With Gov. Sam Brownback, House Speaker Ray Merrick, R-Stilwell, and Senate President Susan Wagle, R-Wichita, at the helm, the emphasis was on cutting income tax rates, while increasing the sales tax and general income taxes by ratcheting down tax LEGISLATURE deductions.

Before it was over, Lawrence was declared a dark spiritual area by a Christian religious adviser often seen at Brownback’s side, higher education’s budget was cut, and supply-side economics ruled

donated his time and technical expertise out of gratitude for the opportunity his family was given when they immigrated to the United States from Ethiopia. “Consistently, throughout my life, my mom instilled in us that we won a lottery to come to America. You have to give back and repay that debt by helping people,� shared Getahun, who was 6 when his family’s name was drawn to receive a U.S. visa as part of a national lottery in Ethiopia.

His parents seized the opportunity to make a better life for their children and moved to Los Angeles in 1995. “Both my parents were not educated and working hourly jobs. My dad decided it was not sustainable living in LA,� Getahun said. So, the family moved to the Kansas City area, near friends from Ethiopia, and made a new home for their children here. “My mom was always volunteering, always giving back. She will literally take the shirt off her back — and ours — to give to other people.�

Following an Ethiopian tradition that the eldest son has a responsibility to help support his family, Getahum put his considerable computer skills to work at an early age, becoming a consultant his sophomore year in high school. In 2010, he launched his own consulting firm. After graduating this spring from Kansas University with a degree in business, he begins his

the day.

There was also time to approve a number of hotbutton conservative issues.

Now in Kansas, federal law officers can be charged with crimes for enforcing gun laws, welfare recipients can be drug-tested, and Kansas University got an adult stem-cell research center it didn’t ask for.

There will be further restrictions on abortions and fewer restrictions on concealed carry of guns and knives. And Brownback gained more power in appointing appellate judges and running the Kansas Turnpike. “Obamacare� is still a dirty word in the Statehouse, and to make sure it stays that way, the Legislature passed a provision aimed at preventing the expansion of Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act. Brownback and the Republican-dominated Legislature essentially ignored a court ruling that said the Legislature needed to increase public school funding by $500 million. The case has been appealed to the Kansas Supreme Court. But Republicans took time to whack the teachers union and tried mightily to insert themselves in deciding education standards, although that measure failed by a just a few votes.

be in accordance with the strategic plan,� Martin said. “We want to be deliberate about how we implement the cuts that the Legislature has made.�

Martin said it’s not clear exactly when KU officials will determine the precise effects of the cuts, though the start of the next fiscal year on July 1 provides a deadline less than a month away.

In the legislative session that ended early Sunday morning, the Kansas Legislature approved a $66 million cut to higher education over two years.

The cuts included a 3 percent across-the-board budget cut and a cap on salary expenses.

Tim Caboni, KU’s vice chancellor for public affairs, said over the weekend the cuts would be

“devastating.� Over the two years, the cuts total about $5.3 million to KU’s Lawrence campus and $8.3 million for the KU Medical Center.

Caboni said the cuts would cause KU’s Lawrence campus to lose 38 faculty positions and force the Medical Center to lose at least 30 nursing student slots and 15 residency positions.

In addition to the broader budget cuts, the appropriations bill approved by the Legislature early Sunday morning fell far short of what Gov. Sam Brownback had proposed for the Medical Center.

When the session started, Brownback recommended $35 million in bonding authority and $10 million from the state over two years to build a new medical education building and training facility.

The total cost of the building is estimated at $75 million, and KU has made its construction a priority, saying the cur-

eral legislators questioned how this was even possible.

Aside from higher ed, the budget reduces funds for the Kansas Department of Corrections, which drew the ire of several legislators, who said the reductions will jeopardize public safety.

State Sen. Greg Smith, ROverland Park, said the new motto for corrections will sound more like wildlife and parks: “catch and release.�

Guns The Legislature approved a law that says the federal government has no authority to regulate guns made, sold and kept in Kansas, and makes it a felony for a federal agent to enforce a law covering those guns. U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder told Brownback that that law is unconstitutional, but Brownback said the people of Kansas “have clearly expressed their sovereign will.�

Another new law allows public schools and universities to arm employees with concealed guns and expands concealed carry in public buildings.

And Brownback signed into law a bill sought by gun-rights supporters that prevents the use of state tax dollars to promote or oppose gun control policies.

Drug testing The Legislature adopted a measure to test welfare and unemployment recipients suspected of using illegal drugs. People who fail the test could lose their benefits. Supporters of the bill say it will help by providing drug treatment and job skills training to those who test for illegal drugs.

Abortion Brownback signed into law a bill that contains more restrictions on abortion and a declaration that life begins at fertilization.

The bill also requires physicians to give women information about breast cancer as a potential risk of abortion even though doctors convened by the National Cancer Institute said that abortion does not increase the risk for developing cancer. — Statehouse reporter Scott Rothschild can be reached at 785-423-0668.

rent facility is outdated.

But as the request went through the legislative process, it got whittled down substantially.

KUMC did not receive any state general fund support for the project, but the appropriations bill adds $1 million from the state education building fund for the proposal.

Meanwhile, the Kansas Board of Regents will consider tuition and fee proposals from the state’s universities on Thursday.

Board members wanted to wait until after the 2013 legislative session to hold the initial discussion on tuition. The board will meet at 9 a.m. Thursday in its boardroom in the Curtis State Office Building.

Last year, the regents approved a 4.9 percent increase in tuition and fees at KU for incoming freshmen under a compact that guarantees that rate for four years.

KU has not released its tuition and fee proposal yet.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The caregivers, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the unsung heroes,â&#x20AC;? Bronoski said.

Bronoski said the people who take care of cancer patients often donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the thanks or recognition they deserve, which is why, at the Douglas County Relay for Life event scheduled for Friday at the Free State High School track, there will be a Caregivers Lap to honor anyone who helped take care of a cancer patient. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been trying to find ways to engage the caregivers more,â&#x20AC;? Douglas County Relay for Life cochair Shelle Arnold said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re vital to the survivors, and they can be honored whether their survivor is still living or not.â&#x20AC;?

Relay for Life is an allnight event where teams walk laps around a track through the night to represent the idea that cancer doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sleep. It was started in 1985 in Washington when a surgeon walked for 24 hours to raise money in honor of his patients.

He raised $27,000, and the idea caught on and the campaign spread throughout the world. Last year the Douglas County Relay for Life was the largest event in Kansas and raised more than $175,000 for the American Cancer Society for cancer research and assistance for cancer patients. This year, the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal is $190,000.

There will be a silent auction of more than 200

Likewise, Getahunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work to make Independence Inc.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website accessible is a big deal to this nonprofit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I met him, he was one of the most impressive human beings I had ever met, and I was struck that he could really make an impact here,â&#x20AC;? Schwartz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I mentioned that I had been wanting to redesign our website so that it would be fully accessible to people with disabilities, but lacked the funds to hire someone.â&#x20AC;? Getahun took the challenge.

Since he was not familiar with web accessibility standards, Getahun took it upon himself to learn the proper way to set up sites so they work with assistive technologies. Independence Inc.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new site is scheduled to go live any time.

The two-year odyssey has taught Getahun how frustrating it can be sometimes for people with disabilities to access technology. Now heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working hard to spread the word to other web designers to build sites that open their virtual doors to everyone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fundamentally important role for the developer to make things accessible,â&#x20AC;? he explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will make your website better and help a big portion of the population.â&#x20AC;?

Session

state sales tax to fall on July 1 to 5.7 percent, as required by current law, the new bill sets the rate at 6.15 percent.

The measure also ratchets down itemized and standard deductions by half, reduces income tax rates and caps state spending growth.

Brownback and his allies say this plan will boost the economy and make Kansas a model for the nation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I began the 2013 legislative session reflecting about the long tradition our state has of being bold in doing what was right, even if much of the nation took another way. The work accomplished these last few months affirms our state is leading the way,â&#x20AC;? Brownback said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will sign a pro-growth tax reform bill that continues our efforts to reduce the tax burden on all Kansans,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Democrats say the tax bill benefits the wealthy while putting the state in a constant budget crisis.

House Minority Leader Paul Davis, D-Lawrence, said Kansans got no help from the overtime legislative session that ended early Sunday morning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After 99 days of gridlock, it is safe to say that the taxpayers of Kansas did not get their moneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth from this legislative session. They wanted restored funding for Kansas public education and a tax code that is fair and fiscally responsible. Gov. Brownback and the Republican Legislature failed on both counts,â&#x20AC;? Davis said.

PATRICK LEACH, an employee of Sunrise Garden Center, at 1501 Learnard Ave., prunes a rose bush Monday at the center. Longtime Sunrise owner Greg McDonald is retiring from the business and has placed the nearly three-acre property up for sale.

Location that has operated as a nursery since 1920s up for sale

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

By the time area lawns change from green to brown, there may be a change in store for the East Lawrence nursery Sunrise Garden Center.

Longtime Sunrise owner Greg McDonald confirmed that he is retiring from the business, and has placed the nearly three-acre property at 15th and New York streets up for sale.

McDonald plans to keep the business open until he finds a

buyer for the property, and he hopes the eventual buyer will want to keep the garden and nursery business open. But there are no guarantees on that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it can be very successful doing what it does today, but I think there are a lot of possibilities for people who have new ideas,â&#x20AC;? McDonald said.

The centerpiece of the property is a large greenhouse that McDonald said is about the size of a football field under glass. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enough space that if someone wanted to do some

truck farming or shift the business over to more of a specialty wholesale operation, he or she could do so, McDonald said.

Veteran commercial real estate broker Doug Brown of Lawrenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s McGrew Commercial is listing the property and plans to market it to both retail and wholesale interests.

But Brown said he plans to focus on marketing the property to people who want to use the greenhouse as a greenhouse in some way, shape or

The author of a national study that is often cited as showing Kansas having low academic standards said recently that his study was not meant to imply any such thing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean that Kansas has low academic standards,â&#x20AC;? said Victor Bandeira de Mello, principal research scientist at the Californiabased American Institute for Research.

Bandeira de Mello is the researcher who has contracted with the U.S. Department of Education on a series of studies that attempts to compare how rigorous state

reading and math exams are by benchmarking them to the National Assessment of EdSCHOOLS ucational Progress, or NAEP, which is often called â&#x20AC;&#x153;the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report card.â&#x20AC;?

The most recent report compared state assessments with the 2009 NAEP exam.

That report is frequently cited by Kansas Policy Institute as evidence that Kansas has low standards. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because, when passing scores on state assessments are translated into comparable scores on the NAEP exam, Please see MAPPING, page 4A

Mother seeks publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s help in finding missing teenager Margarita Yoder, of Lawrence, says she has been searching for her missing son for nearly a month.

Margarita last saw her 17-year-old son, Zach Yoder, on May 7 near 23rd and Louisiana streets. She said her son was having difficulties, and she is worried about his safety if he is roaming the city alone.

Zach has not been communicating with friends and family members, she said, but a family friend set up a Facebook page to rally support.

Margarita reported to police that Zach was missing and has distributed posters in Lawrence Zach Yoder with his photo.

Zach is about 5-foot-9, 170 pounds, and has brown hair and brown eyes. Anyone who sees him is asked to call the Lawrence Police Department at 785-8327509.

Morningstar Pizza aids tornado relief A Lawrence pizza restaurant is holding a special event today to raise funds for tornado victims in the Oklahoma City area.

Morningstarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s New York Pizza, 4931 W. Sixth St., will donate the proceeds from all of its sales today to The Salvation Army in Oklahoma City. In addition, staff members at the restaurant have agreed to donate all their tips for the day to the effort.

Roger Morningstar, the former Kansas University basketball player who opened the store at Sixth and Wakarusa, said the event wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be an â&#x20AC;&#x153;after expensesâ&#x20AC;? type of donation. He said, for example, if a person orders $50 worth of pizza and tips the server $10, all $60 will be shipped to The Salvation Army in OKC. The restaurantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hours today are 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.

of the new building, to be located on Naismith Drive across from Allen Fieldhouse, is estimated at roughly $60 million. Business Dean Neeli Bendapudi has said she hoped for the new facility to open for the 2015-16 school year.

TOPEKA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Kansas Historical Society says the inmate case files for the two men charged in the infamous â&#x20AC;&#x153;In Cold Bloodâ&#x20AC;? murders are online.

The Historical Society says in a release that the files for Richard Eugene Hickock and Perry Edward Smith have been added to Kansas Memory, the Historical Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s online archives of photographs, manuscripts and government records.

Hickock and Smith were convicted of the 1959 murders of Herb and Bonnie Clutter, their daughter, Nancy, and son, Kenyon, at their home in Holcomb. The murders inspired Truman Capoteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book â&#x20AC;&#x153;In Cold Blood.â&#x20AC;? Hickock and Smith were executed by hanging in 1965.

The case files contain correspondence with prison officials and family, clemency petitions and legal documents, as well as their last meal requests and execution witness lists.

The site has served as a greenhouse or nursery business since the early 1920s, according to information compiled by McDonald. Lawrence florist Ralph Ward built the greenhouse in the 1920s to supply his downtown floral shop, but the site eventually was converted into a garden center. Fred Pence operated Penceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Garden Center for 32 years prior to his death.

Sunrise Garden Center took over the spot in 1996.

As for McDonald, he has owned the business for the

But he said business at the garden center remains strong and that gardening remains very popular in the Lawrence area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day was probably one of the best weekends we have ever had, and I know Memorial Day was the best Memorial Day weekend weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever had,â&#x20AC;?

test, Bandeira de Mello looks at that stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s results on the corresponding NAEP math test and finds the point where 70 percent of its students are at or above. That score then becomes that stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s NAEP-equivalent score.

Using that method, virtually every stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proficiency benchmark falls below the NAEP benchmark for proficiency, and in many cases below the NAEP benchmark for â&#x20AC;&#x153;basicâ&#x20AC;? understanding of the material.

The report then displays in a graph how each state measures against the NAEP standard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The analyses described in the report show that standards vary greatly in difficulty across states, as reflected by their NAEP equivalent scores,â&#x20AC;?

Bandeira de Mello said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Relative to the other states, Kansas standards are among the less rigorous standards.â&#x20AC;?

than either Kansas or Missouri, and 22 states had statistically lower scores.

The same was true for eighth-grade math, where the mapping analysis ranked Kansas 22nd in the nation relative to the NAEP standard, while Missouri ranked second.

But in actual test results, Kansas came out 11th, with only seven other states having statistically higher average scores. Missouri finished 23rd, with nine states having statistically higher average scores.

Comparing to actual performance In many cases, however, the results of the mapping analysis do not accurately predict how well states perform when their students actually take the NAEP exam. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s especially true for Kansas.

For example, on the 2009 NAEP eighth-grade reading exams, the mapping analysis shows Kansasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; benchmark for proficiency ranked 38th in the nation. Neighboring Missouri was ranked first.

However, when looking at the actual results of the 2009 NAEP exam, there was no statistical difference between the average scores in Kansas and Missouri.

Only nine other states had average scores that were statistically higher

State officials respond Kansas Education Commissioner Diane DeBacker said she and other education leaders in Kansas have been responding to the mapping analysis since it was published in 2011, and she agrees that the mapping study is not a critique of Kansas educational standards.

In August 2011, she distributed a list of â&#x20AC;&#x153;talking pointsâ&#x20AC;? to help other education officials respond to questions about the study.

Among those were:

â&#x20AC;&#x153;This study does not speak to the level of instruction that students are receiving or to their actual performance on either state assessments or NAEP.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The study does not imply that NAEP achievement levels are more valid than those established by the states, only that they are different and serve different purposes.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kansas remains among the top states in the nation on student performance on NAEP exams, and scores significantly higher than many states that have a proficiency standard that maps above Kansasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Peter Hancock can be reached at 832-7259.

Teen who suffered stroke recovering with help from friends, family, community

ANSAS CITY, MO. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; While Molly Ogdenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Baldwin High School classmates were taking finals and making summer plans last month, the 16-year-old sophomore was relearning how to walk and talk.

Her task on a recent day at the Rehabilitation Institute of Kansas City: to tell the difference between the words â&#x20AC;&#x153;noseâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;cake.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Look for the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;n,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? said speech therapist April Jardes, as Mollyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wide, green eyes glanced back and forth between two flash cards. She put her finger on the one that said â&#x20AC;&#x153;nose.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Duck,â&#x20AC;? Jardes said, setting down two more cards: one that read â&#x20AC;&#x153;duck,â&#x20AC;? the other read â&#x20AC;&#x153;pot.â&#x20AC;? Molly got it right again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dime,â&#x20AC;? the therapist said.

This time, the teen got it wrong, pointing at the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;web.â&#x20AC;?

While Molly â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in a striped polo shirt, blue biker shorts and

a barrette in her light-brown hair â&#x20AC;&#x201D; looked like a normal teenage girl, she was, for the time being at least, anything but. Six months earlier, a blood clot cut off the blood supply to her brain, causing a massive stroke. Since then, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been doing physical, occupational and speech therapy almost around the clock.

Her recovery, like her survival, wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always a sure thing. At one point, a doctor asked her parents if they wanted to pull the plug.

Another predicted it would be a year before she would speak again, and five times that until she could walk.

Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already done both.

Her doctors say she has a desire to get better that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not used to seeing in stroke victims, many of whom are elderly.

Still, some part of Molly is likely gone forever. Xrays show that a large part of her brain â&#x20AC;&#x201D; her father

estimates 40 percent â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is gone, replaced by spinal fluid.

Whether Molly ever returns to normal is unknown. What isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in doubt is her will to try.

Fateful day â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mom!â&#x20AC;?

taken to Kansas University Hospital, where doctors put her in a medically induced coma and removed most of the offending clot.

The following weeks were agony. At one point, surgeons had to remove part of her skull to relieve swelling in her brain. At another, a doctor recommended her parents focus on making her comfortable because of her slim chances of survival.

Molly eventually woke up and, after four weeks at KU Hospital, was transferred to the Madonna Rehabilitation Hospital in Lincoln, Neb., where she underwent two months of intensive rehabilitation.

In February, she finally returned home, continuing her recovery at the Rehabilitation Institute. A month later, she was walking again, with the help of a special cast. She returned to school in April.

council, 4-H, church â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which is one reason Baldwin City residents have been so supportive of her and her family during these trying times. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve organized fundraisers, placed donation jars at local conveniences stores and driven her to therapy appointments when her parents couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Life-changing eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; The experience has been a challenge for Mollyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just an extremely beautiful girl, very talented, athletic, popular, smart.

She just had everything going for her,â&#x20AC;? said her father, Brad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For her to know what sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lost and still be able to maintain such a good attitude and keep a smile on her face is what sticks out to me more than anything. Most people, this would probably just crush their spirits.â&#x20AC;?

Her parents have had to juggle her care with operating their painting business and ranch; Alison is also a manager at Jos. A. Bank in downtown Lawrence. She called her daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stroke â&#x20AC;&#x153;a totally life-changing event.â&#x20AC;?

The recovery process can be rife with frustration. Molly rarely says more than one word at a time. She sometimes calls her father â&#x20AC;&#x153;Momâ&#x20AC;? and vice versa. When asked a question, she often parrots the last thing that was being talked about.

Doctors say that while Molly will likely never completely recover, she can still live a long, full life. But because the stroke attacked the part of her brain that controls verbal communication, speaking is going to be a struggle going forward. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She had a very large stroke, but fortunately sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s young and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a lot of other medical problems,â&#x20AC;? said Colleen Lechtenberg, director of KU Hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Comprehensive Stroke Center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Considering the size of her stroke, I think her recovery is well ahead of what I would hope and dream of.â&#x20AC;?

Her parents have tried experimental treatments and abnormal therapies, with music and horses, and hope that, because she is so young, medical science will eventually come up with something to improve her quality of life.

They continue to see signs of progress. The other day, after her dad had dressed her, Molly went back into her room and changed into a different pair of pants. When he walked in, she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Impressed?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes, I am,â&#x20AC;? he said, not used to hearing her employ such a difficult term for her.

Raising awareness Last month at the Rehabilitation Institute of Kansas City, Molly passed out orange Popsicles â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and awareness. She was taking part in National Orange Popsicle Week, which aims to spread the word about the potential for stroke in young people.

The disease is among the top 10 causes of death in children in the U.S., affecting an estimated 3,000 to 6,000 kids every year.

But the fact that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so rare often causes parents, and even doctors, to overlook or misdiagnose symptoms.

Time is critical in treating the disorder: Two million brain cells evaporate with every passing minute during a stroke; the blood clot medication tPA can only be administered within the first three hours after symptoms appear.

Unlike in adults, who normally suffer strokes because of poor lifestyle choices, the disease affects children for a variety of reasons.

Doctors are still not 100 percent certain what caused Mollyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stroke, though her parents blame a fall she sustained in a powder-puff football game the day before. She dived for a pass and land-

While doctors say that might have played a role, they also point to the open-heart surgery she had as an infant and the condition she suffers from that makes her blood clot more easily than it normally would.

While handing out Popsicles the other day, Molly used her good hand

to eat Lunchables. She and another young stroke victim â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 15-year-old Abby Anderson, of Olathe â&#x20AC;&#x201D; sat quietly, texting on their smartphones. A minute later, they were interlocking their good arms and posting pictures of themselves to Facebook. Molly was making funny faces, making Abby laugh hysterically. They seemed too young to be worried.

The road home In the occupational therapy room at the Rehabilitation Institute, Molly sat down on a mat.

The room was chilly, so a therapist brought her a bright-orange jacket to wear.

With other patients doing exercises nearby â&#x20AC;&#x201D; walking on a moving platform, playing catch â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a therapist stretched Mollyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arm behind her, pulling her elbow backward. She mouthed the word, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ahhh!â&#x20AC;?

The therapist then brought out a puzzle, putting it on a table in front of Molly, who started trying to make sense of the scramble of cardboard pieces.

It was an apt metaphor for what the teen has been going through the past six months: her brain, a puzzle she had been working on for 16 years, all of a sudden got knocked over, the parts spilling all over the floor.

She now has to put them back together. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Reporter Giles Bruce can be reached at gbruce@ljworld.com and 832-7233.

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A sharply divided Supreme Court on Monday cleared the way for police to take a DNA swab from anyone they arrest for a serious crime, endorsing a practice now followed by more than half the states as well as the federal government.

The justices differed strikingly on how big a step that was. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Taking and analyzing a cheek swab of the arrestee DNA is, like fingerprinting and photographing, a legitimate police booking procedure that is reasonable under the Fourth

Amendment,â&#x20AC;? Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote for the courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s five-justice majority. The ruling backed a Maryland law allowing DNA swabbing of people arrested for serious crimes.

But the four dissenting justices said the court was allowing a major change in police powers, with conservative Justice Antonin Scalia predicting the limitation to â&#x20AC;&#x153;seriousâ&#x20AC;? crimes would not last. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Make no mistake about it: Because of todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision, your DNA can be taken and entered into a national database if you are ever arrested, rightly or wrongly, and for what-

ever reason,â&#x20AC;? Scalia said in a sharp dissent which he read aloud in the courtroom. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This will solve some extra crimes, to be sure. But so would taking your DNA when you fly on an airplane â&#x20AC;&#x201D; surely the TSA must know the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;identityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of the flying public. For that matter, so would taking your childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s DNA when they start public school.â&#x20AC;?

Maryland Attorney General Doug Gansler agreed that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing stopping his state from expanding DNA collection from those arrested for serious crimes to those arrested for lesser ones like shoplifting.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

Because of todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision, your DNA can be taken and entered into a national database if you are ever arrested, rightly or wrongly, and for whatever reason.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Justice Antonin Scalia â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t advocate expanding the crimes for which you take DNA, but the legal analysis would be the same,â&#x20AC;? Gansler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The reason why Maryland chooses to only take DNA of violent criminals

Prosecutors: Soldier gave enemy military secrets Privateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawyers argue that he was â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;young, naive but good-intentionedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

FORT MEADE, MD. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Pfc. Bradley Manning put U.S. military secrets into the hands of Osama bin Laden himself, prosecutors said Monday as the Army intelligence analyst went on trial over leaking hundreds of thousands of classified documents.

Manningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawyers countered by arguing that he was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;young, naive but good-intentionedâ&#x20AC;? soldier whose struggle to fit in as a gay man in the military made him feel he â&#x20AC;&#x153;needed to do something to make a difference in this world.â&#x20AC;?

Manning, 25, has admitted to turning over the material to the anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks, pleading guilty earlier this year to charges that could bring him 20 years behind bars.

But the military pressed ahead with a court-martial on more serious charges, including aiding the enemy, which carries a potential life sentence.

Prosecutors said they would present evidence that bin Laden requested and obtained from another al-Qaida member

Afghanistan battlefield reports and State Department cables published by WikiLeaks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a case about a soldier who systematically harvested hundreds of thousands of documents from classified databases and then dumped that information onto the Internet into the hands of the enemy,â&#x20AC;? prosecutor Capt.

Joe Morrow said.

He said the case is â&#x20AC;&#x153;about what happens when arrogance meets access to sensitive information.â&#x20AC;?

Wearing his dress blue uniform, the slightly built Manning peered through

his small eyeglasses at a slide show of the prosecutorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hourlong opening statement, watching on a laptop computer at the defense table. The slide show also was projected on three larger screens in the courtroom, which had seats for only about 50 people.

Later, almost motionless, the soldier from Crescent, Okla., sat forward in his chair, looking toward his defense attorney, David Coombs, throughout his 25-minute opening statement.

Coombs said Manning struggled to do the right thing as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a humanist,â&#x20AC;?

a word engraved on his custom-made dog tags.

As an analyst in Baghdad, Manning had access to hundreds of millions of documents but selectively leaked material, Coombs said. He mentioned an unclassified video of a 2007 U.S. Apache helicopter attack that mistakenly killed civilians, including a Reuters photographer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He believed this information showed how we value human life. He was troubled by that. He believed that if the American public saw it, they too would be troubled,â&#x20AC;?

Coombs said.

CINCINNATI â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Catholic school teacher who was fired after she became pregnant through artificial insemination was awarded $171,000 Monday after winning her anti-discrimination lawsuit against an Ohio archdiocese.

A federal jury found that the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cincinnati discriminated against Christa Dias by firing her in October 2010.

Dias, who taught computer classes, declined to comment immediately

after the verdict but said later in a telephone interview with The Associated Press that she was â&#x20AC;&#x153;very happy and relieved.â&#x20AC;?

The jury said the archdiocese should pay a total of $71,000 for back pay and compensatory damages and $100,000 in punitive damages. Dias had sued the archdiocese and two of its schools; the jury didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find the schools liable for damages.

Diasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; attorney, Robert Klingler, had argued she was fired simply because she was pregnant and unmarried, a dismissal he said violated state and federal law. He had sug-

gested damages as high as $637,000, but Dias said she was satisfied with the juryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s award. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was never about the money,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They should have followed the law, and they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.â&#x20AC;?

Steven Goodin, the attorney for the archdiocese and the schools, had argued Dias was fired for violating her contract, which he said required her to comply with the philosophies and teachings of the Catholic church. The church considers artificial insemination immoral and a violation of church doctrine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have always ar-

gued that this case was about a contract violation and should never have been allowed to come to trial,â&#x20AC;? Goodin said after the verdict.

He said that while he was disappointed in the finding against the archdiocese, he was relieved the schools were not held liable, saying that would have proven a financial hardship for them.

Archdiocese spokesman Dan Andriacco said after court that for the archdiocese, it was always â&#x20AC;&#x153;a matter of principleâ&#x20AC;? and about â&#x20AC;&#x153;an employee who broke a contract she signed.â&#x20AC;?

The high courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision reverses that ruling and reinstates Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rape conviction, which came after police took his DNA during an unrelated arrest.

Kennedy, who is often considered the courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s swing vote, wrote the decision along with conservative-leaning Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas. They were joined by liberal-leaning Justice Stephen Breyer, while the dissenters were the conservative-leaning Scalia and liberal Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan.

New Jersey Sen. Lautenberg dead at 89

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The next time a flight attendant reminds you that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no smoking, or you witness a teenager getting carded at a liquor store, think of Frank Lautenberg.

The liberal Democratic senator from New Jersey left his mark on the everyday lives of millions of Americans, whether they know it or not. In the 1980s, he was a driving force behind the laws that banned smoking on most U.S. flights and made 21 the drinking age in all 50 states.

Twenty-eight states and the federal government now take DNA swabs after arrests. But a Maryland court said it was illegal for that state to take Alonzo Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s DNA without approval from a judge, ruling that King had â&#x20AC;&#x153;a sufficiently weighty and reasonable expectation of privacy against warrantless, suspicionless searchesâ&#x20AC;? under the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution.

Workers trapped in China plant fire; 119 dead

Turkish leaders at Survivors claim blocked or locked exits prevented escape from blaze odds over violent protests ——————

By Christopher Bodeen

Associated Press

BEIJING — Fire swept through a poultry processing plant in northeastern China on Monday, trapping workers inside a slaughterhouse with only a single open exit and killing at least 119 people in one of the country’s worst industrial disasters in years.

Survivors described panic as workers, mostly women, struggled through smoke and flames to reach doors that turned out to

be locked or blocked.

One worker, Guo Yan, 39, said the emergency exit at her workstation could not be opened and she was knocked to the ground in the crush of workers searching for a way to escape.

“I could only crawl desperately forward,” Guo was quoted as saying by Xinhua News Agency. “I worked alongside an old lady and a young girl, but I don’t know if they survived or not.”

Besides the dead, dozens were injured in the blaze

in Jilin province’s Mishazi township, which appeared to have been sparked by three early morning explosions, Xinhua said. The provincial fire department attributed the blasts to an ammonia leak.

It was one of China’s worst recent industrial disasters, with the death toll the highest since a September 2008 mining cavein that claimed 281 lives.

State broadcaster CCTV quoted workers as saying the fire broke out during a shift change when about 350 workers

were at the plant, owned

by Jilin Baoyuanfeng Poultry Co. Some employees raised the alarm shortly after the shift began at 6 a.m., and then the lights went out, causing panic as workers scrambled to find an exit, Wang Fengya told Xinhua.

“When I finally ran out and looked back at the plant, I saw high flames,” she said.

The fire broke out in a factory building where chickens were being dismembered, and spread rapidly, with industrial

boilers exploding, the Southern Metropolis Daily reported on its microblog.

Only a side door to the building was open with the rest of the exits locked, the newspaper said.

It quoted an unidentified worker as saying the fire engulfed the building in three minutes, leaving too little time for escape.

The disaster killed 119 people and injured 70, Xinhua said. Most of the injured were being treated for inhalation of toxic gases, such as ammonia, while others had burns.

Supplies dwindling for doctors trapped in Syrian town

By Sarah El Deeb Associated Press

BEIRUT — Cut off for three weeks by a regime siege, doctors in the Syrian town of Qusair are treating hundreds of wounded in battle-damaged homes and underground shop storerooms, short on antibiotics and anesthesia and using unsterilized cloth for bandages and hand pumps instead of oxygen canisters.

Amid relentless shelling, there are some 1,000 wounded, at least 300 of them seriously and in need of immediate evacuation, one doctor coordinating medical efforts in the town said Monday.

But so far, the forces of President Bashar Assad’s regime backed by fighters from Lebanon’s Hezbollah militant group are barring any exit as they try to crush rebels and retake the town.

With the Syrian civil war well in its third year, Qusair, near the Lebanese border, has become the latest urban battleground in the grueling fight be-

The heaviness of the battle reflects the strategic importance of the town, located on supply routes that are vital for both sides.

WHAT’S NEWS ON

A doctor and an activist in the shattered town acknowledged Monday that regime forces have tightened their grip in recent days. But they said new reinforcements of hundreds of rebel fighters have managed to infiltrate

the siege, in what is likely to prolong the fighting in this town once home to 40,000 people.

Qusair, an agricultural community once famous for its olive oil, is now a ghost town, said Rifaei Tammas, an activist

reached through Skype.

The town’s homes, most of which are one or two stories, have mostly been damaged or leveled by the fighting. With electricity cut, those able to afford them rely on generators running on smuggled fuel. Old wells have been re-dug, feeding untreated water to the town’s residents to substitute for the water plant now seized by regime forces and fighters from Lebanon’s Hezbollah group, which has openly joined the Syrian forces in the battle for this town.

“It is a stifling siege,” Tammas said from inside Qusair, adding that most people now survive on one meal a day of grains, bread and olives.

Tammas’ own father, a man in his 50s, died Friday from a mortar shell as he ventured out to search for bread. Tammas said he had to collect his corpse from the town’s vegetable refrigerator, which now operates as the local morgue after the original one was destroyed in earlier fighting.

ANKARA, TURKEY — Turkish riot police launched round after round of tear gas against protesters on Monday, the fourth day of violent demonstrations, as the president and the prime minister staked competing positions on the unrest.

Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan rejected the protesters’ demands that he resign and dismissed the demonstrations as the work of Turkey’s opposition.

President Abdullah Gul, for his part, praised the mostly peaceful protesters as expressing their democratic rights.

The two men could face off next year in Turkey’s presidential election.

Turkey has been rocked by violent demonstrations since Friday, when police launched a pre-dawn raid against a peaceful sit-in protesting plans to uproot trees in Istanbul’s main Taksim Square. Since then, the demonstrations by mostly secular-minded Turks have spiraled into Turkey’s biggest antigovernment disturbances in years.

Clashes continued late into the night Monday in both Istanbul and Ankara.

In Istanbul, the country’s largest city, acrid clouds of tear gas billowed up from the streets of the Besiktas area as protesters ran for cover.

Riot police deployed water cannons to keep demonstrators back.

Tax impacts The governor claims “the nation is watching” the tax strategy being pursued in Kansas. Are other states applauding or laughing?

T

he 2013 session of the Kansas Legislature ended with a whimper early Sunday morning by narrowly passing tax and budget bills that will have a profound impact on the state.

The nature of that impact, however, is the topic of considerable controversy among legislators and the governor, who can’t even agree on whether they raised taxes or lowered them.

Certain impacts, however, are clear, including the hit taken by higher education in the state. The state’s higher education system will see a funding cut of $66 million over the next two years. That includes reductions of $6 million for Kansas University, $8 million for the KU Medical Center and $6 million at Kansas State University.

The tax plan approved early Sunday cancels the drop to a 5.7 percent sales tax and replaces it with a 6.15 percent tax.

Although earlier negotiations included a lower sales tax rate on groceries, no such measure was included in the final bill. Income tax rates were lowered somewhat, but those reductions will be offset by lower standard deductions for taxpayers and reductions in key deductions, including one for mortgage interest. The higher sales tax and lower standard deductions both fall disproportionately on lower-income Kansans.

According to legislative researchers, the approved tax plan will generate a net gain of $777 million over the next five years, but that falls far short of making up for the $4.6 billion in lost revenue over the same period resulting from last year’s income tax cuts. Gov. Sam Brownback continues to assert that this year’s measure can’t be construed as anything but a tax reduction for Kansans. He lauded the bills as a “fabulous package” that he said will make Kansas “not only the best in the country to raise a family but also the best to grow a business.”

A number of Kansans would beg to differ. High-quality K-12 education is important not only to families but to businesses seeking to locate in Kansas.

Next year’s budget provides flat state funding for those schools with no provision for additional funding if the Kansas Supreme Court rules that the state isn’t meeting its constitutional obligation.

Businesses — especially the high-tech businesses Kansas hopes to attract — also need skilled workers. The huge funding cuts to higher education will make it harder to fill those needs. Cuts to the KU Medical Center will hamper efforts to get the new National Cancer Center off the ground, and cuts at Kansas State may impact its ability to support the new National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility. Wichita’s National Center for Aviation Training, which received $5 million in funding this year, will receive just $3 million next year.

How do these cuts support and promote business development in Kansas?

Brownback and some Republican legislative leaders proudly proclaim that “the nation is watching” what we’re doing here in Kansas.

So are Kansans, and many of them are worried about what they see.

China leader sets Latin America itinerary The most interesting thing about the first official visit of China’s new President Xi Jinping to Latin America is that he will not set foot in Cuba, Venezuela or any other of China’s political allies in the region — which would have received a huge propaganda boost from such a visit.

Instead, during his eightday Latin America tour that started Friday, Xi is visiting Trinidad and Tobago, Costa Rica and Mexico, some of the region’s closest U.S. allies. From there, he is scheduled to fly to California for a meeting with President Barack Obama on Friday.

The conventional wisdom among U.S. analysts is that Xi’s choice of countries to visit during his Latin America tour — and the fact that he will be the first Chinese president in recent memory who will not stop in Cuba during a hemispheric visit — are part of China’s growing courtship of Latin America and the Caribbean, and that it may also signal that the new Chinese leader will focus on business rather than politics.

But judging from what I’m hearing from diplomatic sources in Beijing and Latin America, that may be the least important part of the story. Rather, Xi’s choice of Latin American stopovers is a tit-for-tat for Obama’s recent visit to Myanmar. It’s Xi’s way of telling Washington: “You go to my backyard, I go to yours.”

It may be no coincidence that Xi is visiting Costa Rica

Andres Oppenheimer aoppenheimer@miamiherald.com

“

… Xi’s choice of Latin American stopovers is a tit-fortat for Obama’s recent visit to Myanmar. It’s Xi’s way of telling Washington: ‘You go to my backyard, I go to yours.’” and Mexico, the two Latin American countries that Obama visited last month, and Trinidad and Tobago, the only Caribbean country that Vice President Joe Biden visited last week.

And it may be no coincidence that Xi’s trip takes place not long after Obama’s November trip to Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, and after former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta’s trip to Vietnam last year.

Those trips, and Obama’s new “Asia pivot” foreign policy seeking, among other things, to enforce maritime rights in the disputed South China Sea, have irked China’s military. Obama announced

in 2011 that the United States will expand its presence in the Asia-Pacific region as part of a “re-balancing” of U.S. foreign policy.

Xi’s decision to visit close U.S. allies in Latin America may be his way of mollifying China’s military, showing them that — while it would have been easy to visit Cuba and Venezuela, like his predecessors — he is flexing China’s muscles right in front of Washington’s porch.

Outgoing Mexican ambassador to China Jorge Guajardo confirmed to me in a telephone interview from Beijing that Xi’s decision not to stop over in Cuba has raised eyebrows within the Chinese capital’s diplomatic community. “(Former President) Hu Jintao never made a trip to the region without stopping in Cuba,” he said.

China’s trade with Latin America has boomed in recent years, reaching $261 billion in 2012, a 9 percent increase from the previous year, leading some analysts to predict that China will become Latin America’s leading trade partner as early as 2015. It is already the No. 1 trading partner of Brazil and Chile, among others.

But others note that just this week, the International Monetary Fund cut this year’s growth forecast for China to 7.7 percent, from a previous 8 percent, and that the final growth rate may be even lower than the latest projection. China’s factory activity fell for the first time

in seven months in May, an HSBC bank survey shows.

And judging from what I heard during a visit to China a few months ago, I would not be surprised if China’s economy slows from the 10 percent annual growth rates of the past decade to half of that in coming years, as China’s rapidly rising salaries result in fewer factory orders, and internal political tensions over issues such as corruption and air pollution rise.

That could lead to a slowdown in China’s trade with Latin America, some people I met in Beijing told me.

My opinion: Xi’s Latin American trip is mostly about domestic politics in China.

He is trying to appease China’s restless military by responding in kind to Obama’s recent visit Myanmar.

If it were all about business, Xi would be visiting Brazil, Chile, Venezuela or Argentina, which are among China’s biggest trading partners in the region. Or he would be announcing huge trade and investment agreements with Mexico, Costa Rica or Trinidad & Tobago, which apparently isn’t the case.

So look at it in a broader context: Xi is sending a message to Washington, and to his own military, that he is a global player who is not afraid of competing with Obama in his own neighborhood.

PUBLIC FORUM

Looking at Kansas To the editor: The Republican and Democratic leaders of the Kansas Senate have finally agreed on something. In regards to the tax fiasco, the Journal-World has quoted Senate President Susan Wagle as saying, “People are going to look at this all over the nation.”

Commenting on the Kansas Legislature’s attempt to dictate curriculum, Senate Democratic leader Anthony Hensley stated, “This is another example of why Kansas has become the laughing stock of the nation.”

They are both correct. People across the nation are looking at us, laughing, and being grateful they don’t live in Kansas.

No re-enactment To the editor: Will the 1863 Commemorate Lawrence Project please reconsider having actors “reenact” the Quantrill Raid?

William Quantrill was a cold-blooded murdering thug who used the excuse of the Civil War to take personal vengeance on Lawrence. He had a list of those he sought to murder. He succeeded in slaughtering over 150 men and boys. He and his fellow thugs apparently assuaged their consciences by sparing the lives of the women and girls while murdering their husbands and brothers and burning their homes.

To “re-enact” his crimes would be like “re-enacting” Timothy McVeigh’s murders in Oklahoma City or even the Boston Marathon bombings. We can remember Quantrill’s infamy without play-acting that will diminish his wickedness. We ought to focus rather on the brave men and women

who stood up to him and courageously rebuilt our city.

David Upchurch, Lawrence

Power of prayer To the editor: The May 28 Journal-World article entitled “Tiny town had close call with monster tornado” supports the power of prayer when dealing with the Prince of the Power of the Air. However, Job’s children encountered this power when God allowed Satan to attack Job the first time.

Another example is when Jesus directed his disciples to cross Lake Galilee. Later, as they were struggling against the wind in Mark 6, an unusual comment is made in the text, “He intended to pass them by.” However, they cried out and he rescued the disciples. I believe Jesus was going to pass them by because he was put out with them because they had not learned the many lessons from the first time he was in the boat with them (Mark 4:35-41). Mark 6:52 says, “Their hearts were hardened.”

There are two common ways in which followers of Christ are remiss in dealing with Satan. First, we fail to recognize Jesus gives us the authority to resist the devil. Our second failure as Jesus’ disciples is that we let our fears affect our walk. Job said, “The thing I feared the most came upon me.” The hedge of protection that he had was lost because he allowed fear to trump his belief in God to protect his children. Jesus rebuked his disciples because of their unbelief.

God says, “Fear not.” “Satan goes around as a roaring lion seeking him whom he may devour.” We can pray in faith, without fear, and Satan will flee; whether in a tornado or in our concern about our children.

Over 100 alumni of Vinland High School visited the small town this YEARS week to celebrate AGO class reunions. Of IN 1973 the groups represented, the Class of 1923 won the prize for best attendance, with seven of its 10 graduating members arriving for their 50th anniversary celebration. “It was just a typical class,” said ‘23 grad Floyd Talley, a De Soto resident who had retired after a 43year teaching career. However, his reminiscences revealed some notable events. For one thing, the high school had burned down that year, and classes had been held in a church. In his speech on Class of ‘23 history, Talley also recalled the girls of that year holding a mass skip day in protest of the boys having been excused from classes to help a local farmer harvest his pear crop. In a more famous incident, the girls of ‘23 had started a petition for shorter skirts (with a hem ending at the knee), but their request had been turned down by the Board of Education, whose members approved a rule that skirts could be no shorter than three inches below the knee.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for June 4, 1913: YEARS “After seventeen AGO years of seclusion IN 1913 in the interior of the earth the Seventeen Year Locusts have returned this year to pay mother earth a visit of a few weeks. All over Douglas County the song of the little buzzers is heard these nights. The first of the little pests arrived several days ago and since then their number has been steadily increasing until now great flocks of them fill the trees and make the nights hideous with their melancholy chorus. The locust of this species is not very destructive and does only slight damage to the tree in which it lives.”

MCDONALD’S PRESENTED RUTH MANIA A COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIP at Free State’s senior recognition ceremony on May 6. In May 2012, Ruth’s brother, Julias, received a McDonald’s scholarship at Southwest Middle School.

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL

Twibell peddles popular putters A collection of decorative putters leaning against the wall in the corner of his office inspired longtime broadcaster Roger Twibell to come up with a product that merges the loyalty aspect of those impractical door prizes with a golferâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desire to trim strokes.

Twibell pulled it off. He markets logo putters from the website logoputter.com.

A number of universities, including Kansas, Kansas State and Wichita State, licensed him to sell putters with their logos. Ultimately, Twibell hopes to break through on the corporate level. Picture Budweiser executives stroking putters with the beerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s logo staring at them. Maybe Twibell even a tournament with all 144 participants all using the same logo putter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotten a lot of great feedback,â&#x20AC;? Twibell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People like the putters.â&#x20AC;?

If it sounds like a long shot in the same way all golf products not used by a PGA Tour professional do, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not likely to deter Twibell, a 1973 KU graduate.

He remembers when people thought the concept of a sports-only network was sure to fail. Twibell joined ESPN in 1980, 13 months after the networkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The inmates ran the asylum, no question about that,â&#x20AC;? said Twibell, who lives in the Kansas City area and plays most of his golf at Mission Hills. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was interesting because there were like three or four of us who had been in television awhile.

Greg Gumbel had been in Chicago. George Grande had been around awhile. Then there were guys like Chris Berman, who was basically a rookie. It was kind of an interesting mixture.â&#x20AC;?

Twibell fell into the young veteran category.

He started his professional career as the sports anchor for Sunflower Cable in Lawrence. That became a springboard for stops in Tucson, Dallas, Miami, Boston and then Bristol, Conn., where the ESPN studios remain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the things we used to do that I always had a lot of fun with, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be calling an event from the studio in Bristol, and the chroma-key backdrop was of the city where the event was,â&#x20AC;? Twibell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be sitting in Bristol doing an international track and field meet in Milan, Italy, talking about what a great dinner we had the night before, saying, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Chianti was great!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; They werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t traveling us around the world like they

FREE STATE SENIOR LINEBACKER BLAKE WINSLOW PREPARES TO THROW A SHOULDER into a pad as he and other defenders run through drills during Free State football camp Monday at FSHS.

New offense focus at FSHS camp

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

No one familiar with Free State Highâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s football program would have had any problems spotting the many veteran players whose faces were partially hidden behind their helmets and face masks Monday morning during the first day of summer camp.

But the Firebirds still managed to look unrecognizable at times, in comparison to the 2012 team that finished 10-2 and advanced to the Class 6A state semifinals.

It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just the presence of a different quarterback, senior Joe Dineen, taking snaps with the first team that made the difference, either. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our whole offense is changing a little bit. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gonna be fun,â&#x20AC;? Dineen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gonna try to come with a whole new team, a whole new system.â&#x20AC;?

Coach Bob Lisher envisions his Firebirds utilizing various formations and anywhere from one to three running backs from play to play. Plus, instead of using small, quick slot receivers, this group will have bigger, stronger players lining up in those spots, and

FSHS COACH BOB LISHER WATCHES over the various drill stations during camp. theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be asked to play in the backfield, too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The main thing is to get some of our offensive sets together, where people feel comfortable.â&#x20AC;? Lisher said of his goal for the four-day camp

Jamal Brown to walk on to KU football

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Former Lawrence High football player Jamal Brown â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the son of former Kansas University defensive tackle Gilbert Brown, who played 10 seasons with the NFLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Green Bay Packers after starring for the Jayhawks from 1989-92 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; will join the program for the 2013 season as Please see KEEGAN, page 3B a walk-on.

Brown, who played both offensive and defensive line at LHS, comes to KU after a stint at Coffeyville Community College. He graduated from LHS in 2011 and received a two-star rating from Rivals.com. He chose to walk-on at KU despite fielding interest from smaller schools, such as Washburn, Pittsburg State, BethuneCookman, Jacksonville State, Hampton, Howard, Alabama

before Free State travels this weekend to Northwest Missouri State Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s padded, contact camp.

Senior Blake Winslow spent most of his time on offense last season as a receiver.

Now, he and other players will become hybrids, moving around. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got some guys that are playing two or there positions,â&#x20AC;? Winslow said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;playing receiver and running back. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gonna be different.â&#x20AC;?

Free State anticipates using a lot more checks at the line of scrimmage, too. That will be another adjustment for Dineen at quarterback and the skill players around him, such as passing targets Khadre Lane and Zach Bickling and running backs Winslow, Stan Skwarlo, Keith Loneker and Carson Bowen.

Said Winslow: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a lot of athleticism and speed in our backfield, and with Khadre out wide. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all gonna come down to the offensive line. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gonna have to play good, because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gonna go off of them.â&#x20AC;?

Tackle Fred Wyatt, center Reid Buckingham and guard Tyler Sampson (all seniors) return as starters on the offensive line. Loneker said all the offensive players can make the others look better if they can jell this summer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nobodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spot is in stone

State and Florida A&M. Brown, 6-foot-3, 342 pounds, said his family ties and love of Lawrence played a huge role in his decision to return to Lawrence to finish out his college career. He is expected to arrive in August in time for fall camp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am extremely excited to be a Jayhawk,â&#x20AC;? Brown said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will be a great feeling to come home and be able to play in front of all of my fam-

Djokovic wins emotional match in Paris PARIS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Less than 48 hours after learning of the death of his childhood coach, Novak Djokovic was on court at the French Open, determined to complete a career Grand Slam in honor of the woman he likened to a â&#x20AC;&#x153;second mother.â&#x20AC;?

Still grieving, Djokovic began shakily Monday. Six of the matchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first seven unforced errors were his. After one poor exchange, he chucked his Djokovic racket hard enough to break it. He dropped a set for the only time in four matches so far.

After recovering quickly to dispatch 16th-seeded Philipp Kohlschreiber of Germany 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 and reach the quarterfinals at a 16th consecutive major tournament, Djokovic spoke from the heart about the passing of Jelena Gencic, who was 76.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been easy, but this is life. You know, life gives you things (but also) takes away close people,â&#x20AC;? Djokovic said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were very close throughout my whole life, and she taught me a lot of things that are part of me, part of my character.â&#x20AC;?

Gencic connected with a 6-year-old Novak at a tennis camp, then worked with him for five years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel even more responsible now to go all the way in this tournament,â&#x20AC;? said the No. 1-ranked Djokovic, who owns six Grand Slam titles but none from Roland Garros. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to do it for her.â&#x20AC;?

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to beat three more opponents to accomplish that, starting with 12th-seeded Tommy Haas, who at 35 became the oldest French Open quarterfinalist since 1971 by eliminating Mikhail Youzhny 6-1, 6-1, 6-3 in less than 11â &#x201E;2 hours.

If Djokovic can get past Haas, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find a familiar foe in the semifinals: seven-time French Open champion Rafael Nadal,

Pac-12 eyes limits on contact in football SAN FRANCISCO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; In an effort to cut down on concussions, head trauma and other injuries, the Pac-12 Conference is establishing a league-wide policy to limit the amount of contact made during football practices beginning this season.

Commissioner Larry Scott said Monday that the conference will limit hits to numbers â&#x20AC;&#x153;less than what the NCAA permits,â&#x20AC;? while many of the schools already have their own â&#x20AC;&#x153;self-imposed limits.â&#x20AC;? Now, there will be an across-the-board rule in an effort to decrease head trauma and other injuries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In our discussions it became clear this is a topic our coaches are focused on,â&#x20AC;? Scott said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a high degree of awareness about it and a deep commitment to it. It was a high priority.â&#x20AC;?

Details of how the conference will monitor each schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hits and contact are still being worked out. Scott expects everything to be in place by late July.

The Pac-12 CEO Group, made up of school presidents, agreed on the plan during weekend meetings in Park City, Utah, as part of the conferenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new comprehensive â&#x20AC;&#x153;student-athlete health initiativeâ&#x20AC;? developed to improve the health and safety of the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 7,000 student-athletes. The meeting also included athletic directors and other representatives from the 12 schools.

There have been some 200 research projects by the conference schools related to the subject of health and safety for student-athletes, Scott said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first step here is weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be codifying new Pac12 policies on hits and contact in practice that are less than what the NCAA permits,â&#x20AC;? Scott said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have studied and discussed with our coaches what progress the NFL has made in terms of looking at what happens in practice and reducing the cumulative impact and cumulative hits that occur in practice, and trying to apply policies that are appropriate for college.â&#x20AC;?

During nine months of study of the NFLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts to decrease concussions, and input from doctors and athletic trainers, the Pac-12 decided â&#x20AC;&#x201D; based on Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommendation â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to move forward with a plan of its own that fits into the â&#x20AC;&#x153;teachingâ&#x20AC;? approach of college football and its NCAA-mandated 20-hour week rule.

In other topics covered in Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conference call Monday, he said the Pac-12 Networks would increase coverage of live events from 550 to 750 in the second year with what Scott called â&#x20AC;&#x153;an unprecedented number of Olympic events.â&#x20AC;?

who played his first relatively routine opening set of the tournament and put together a 6-4, 6-1, 6-3 victory over No. 13 Kei Nishikori of Japan.

Nadal, who beat Djokovic in last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final and is 56-1 in his French Open career, declared: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I played much better today than the first three matches. No doubt about that.â&#x20AC;?

Consider that something of a warning for No. 9 Stanislas Wawrinka, who was trailing by two sets when he got into an extended and animated argument with the chair umpire, demanding that a line judge be replaced.

Wawrinka slowly, steadily turned the match around and edged No. 7 Richard Gasquet 6-7 (5), 4-6, 6-4, 7-5, 8-6.

Defending womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s champion Maria Sharapova moved into the quarterfinals by beating 17th-seeded Sloane Stephens of the United States 6-4, 6-3, part of a rough day for Americans.

The other two in action also exited in straight sets: 54th-

ranked Jamie Hampton lost to 18th-seeded Jelena Jankovic 6-0, 6-2, and 67th-ranked Bethanie Mattek-Sands was beaten by 12th-seeded Maria Kirilenko 7-5, 6-4. Kirilenko, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s engaged to two-time NHL MVP Alex Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals, now meets two-time Australian Open champion Victoria Azarenka, a 6-3, 6-0 winner over 2010 French Open titlist Francesca Schiavone.

Fifteen-time major champion Serena Williams, the only U.S. singles player left, plays her quarterfinal against 2009 French Open champion Svetlana Kuznetsova today, when No. 4 Agnieszka Radwanska faces No. 5 Sara Errani. The menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quarterfinals today are 17time major champion Roger Federer against No. 6 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, and No. 4 David Ferrer against No. 32 Tommy Robredo, the first man in 86 years to win three consecutive Grand Slam matches after dropping the opening two sets.

IN THIS MAY 18, 1995, FILE PHOTO, THE MAVERICKSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; JASON KIDD, LEFT, and Pistonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Grant Hill hold their trophies as co-winners of the NBA Rookie of the Year for the 1994-95 season, at NBA headquarters in New York. The Knicks say Kidd has decided to retire from the NBA after 19 seasons. His retirement Monday comes two days after fellow 40-year-old Grant Hill announced his retirement.

Kidd second 19-year NBA vet to retire this week NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jason Kidd became one of the best by making others better.

He turned around a longtime-losing franchise, guided another to a championship, and helped his last one to its first division title since the year he came into the NBA 19 years ago.

Teammates loved him. The U.S. national team needed him.

But he looked more burned out than brilliant in the final weeks of the season, and on Monday he decided to end one of the greatest careers for a point guard in league history. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My time in professional basketball has been an incredible journey, but one that must come to an end after 19 years,â&#x20AC;? Kidd said in a statement released by the New York Knicks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As I reflect on my time with the four teams I represented in the NBA, I look back fondly at every season and thank each and every one of my teammates and coaches that joined me on the court.â&#x20AC;?

Kidd won an NBA title and two Olympic gold medals, is second on the career list in assists and steals, and was a 10-time All-Star. But he missed 22 of his 25 shots in the postseason and was scoreless in his final 10 playoff games shortly after turning 40, and decided to walk away with two years and more than $6 million left on the deal he signed last summer.

His retirement comes two days after fellow 40-year-old Grant Hill, with whom Kidd shared Rookie of the Year honors in 1995, announced his retirement.

Kidd went on from there to have big impacts on every team he joined. He led the Nets to two NBA Finals in 2002-03, helped the Dallas Mavericks win the 2011 title, and was on the first Knicks team to reach the second round of the playoffs since 2000.

He averaged 12.6 points, 8.7 assists, 6.3 rebounds and 1.93 steals in a career that also included a stop in Phoenix. Kidd had numerous ways to make his mark on games, ranking third on the career list with 107 triple-doubles while finishing third all-time in 3-pointers made.

Kidd, drafted by Dallas with the No. 2 overall pick in 1994, was a five-time selection to the All-NBA first team and was voted to the All-Defensive first or second team nine times.

Along with his NBA greatness, Kidd had an undefeated career at the senior international level during an era when simply wearing a USA jersey no longer guaranteed victory. He helped the U.S. win gold in the 2000 and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;08 Olympics, along with FIBA Americas titles in 1999, 2003 and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;07.

Pinstripe Bowl adds Big Ten NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Big Ten and the Pinstripe Bowl have agreed to an eight-year deal that the conference hopes will help claim New York as its territory.

The Big Ten will take the Big 12â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s place in the game. It was a natural addition to the Big Tenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bowl lineup after the league invited Rutgers, located in nearby Piscataway, N.J., and Maryland.

Those schools will join the Big Ten in 2014.

The Pinstripe Bowl has been matching the Big East against the Big 12 since it started in 2010.

Hoffman qualifies for US Open WESTERVILLE, OHIO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Charley Hoffman played so poorly on the last day at the Memorial that he thought about skipping the U.S. Open qualifier. He changed his mind and now is headed to Merion.

Hoffman, whose 81 was the worst score in the final round at the Memorial, opened with a 7-under 65 at The Lakes and followed with a 68 at Brookside to lead a group of 15 players who qualified for the U.S. Open. The Columbus-area qualifier was filled with several PGA Tour players who had been at Muirfield Village.

Hoffman qualified for his third U.S. Open.

Josh Teater, Robert Karlsson and Luke Guthrie pulled off an â&#x20AC;&#x153;Open double.â&#x20AC;? All three qualified for the British Open in a 36-hole qualifier two weeks ago, and then earned a spot in the U.S. Open on Monday.

The final stage of U.S. Open qualifying stretched one end of the country to the other Monday, with 11 sites hosting 36-hole qualifiers. The two largest were built around the PGA Tour â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Columbus with 15 spots and Memphis, Tenn., with nine spots, ahead of the St. Jude Classic this week.

The day was not without a bizarre disqualification.

Two-time U.S. Open champion Lee Janzen was in the Rockville, Md., qualifier, but only for one round. After opening with a 75, it was discovered he was wearing steel spikes, typical on the PGA Tour but not allowed at Woodmont Country Club.

All players were notified about the ban on spikes in a letter dated May 20. Only two sectional sites allowed metal spikes. The U.S. Open championship, which starts June 13, also allows spikes.

KANSAS BASKETBALL NOTEBOOK

Trail Blazers work out Elijah Johnson

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Former Kansas University combo guard Elijah Johnson worked out for the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday with fellow NBA Draft hopefuls Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (Georgia), Sherwood Brown (Florida Gulf Coast), Jared Berggren (Wisconsin), Brandon Davies (BYU) and Abdul Gaddy (Washington).

After a session that in-

a good example for current middle school and high school players in the area.

“My young guys from Lawrence, in a way, look up to me, and if they see me putting in the work to make my dreams come true, then they really know that anything is possible,” Brown said. “Like (LHS) coach (Dirk) Wedd always said, ‘If it was easy, everybody would be doing it.’”

Wedd, who coached Brown throughout high school, said he was happy to hear of Brown’s opportunity to join the KU program.

“Any time one of our kids can play at a high level like that, it helps other kids have goals and understand that they can reach those goals with some hard work,” Wedd said.

Throughout his career, Brown’s biggest obstacle to sustained success has been his weight. During his recruitment in high school, college coaches often told him they would be more interested if he proved he could drop a few pounds. Wedd said Brown could do just that.

cluded live scrimmaging and 1-on-1 drills, Johnson was asked by the Oregonian what he brings to the NBA table.

“I feel I can fit a lot of different teams. I feel I’m versatile,” the 6-foot-4 Las Vegas native said.

“Some players do one thing. It’s either they fit or don’t fit.

“I feel I can adjust a little more than the average person.

“I’m trying to show I can guard all the way to 6-6. I’m not going to go

away easy,” he added, smiling.

Johnson said he will work out for Washington today then take a break before “going to Houston, Utah, Dallas, a couple more places.”

“I feel I can attack and score the ball, too,” Johnson noted. “I feel I can score the ball at will when I have the opportunity or if that’s my job. I’ve always been able to guard.

That’s what we do at Kansas. I feel like I got that from coach (Bill Self).”

Releford in Sacramento: Former KU guard Travis Releford worked out for the Sacramento Kings on Monday with Will Cherry (Montana), Chris Evans (Kent State), Rudy Gobert (France), Aziz N’Diaye (Washington), and Brandon Triche (Syracuse).

“I feel I can come in and be a spark on the defensive end,” Releford told Sacramento News 10 KXTV. “I talked to the coach about that. He said the focus in

Former KU center Jeff Withey worked out for the Denver Nuggets on Monday. He was joined

by Tony Mitchell (North Texas), Phil Pressey (Missouri), Colton Iverson (Colorado State), Mike Muscala (Bucknell), Nate Wolters (South Dakota State), Reggie Buckner (Mississippi), Reggie Bullock (North Carolina), Matt Dellavedova (St. Mary’s), C.J. Harris (Wake Forest), Elias Harris (Gonzaga), Ricky Ledo Denver: (Providence).

this year’s draft ... they want a guy to be able to come in and be a lockdown defender. Hopefully they take a good look into me because I feel I can do that.”

The 6-foot-6 Kansas City native added: “At Kansas the past two years I’ve been one of those guys that always guarded the best player on the other team. I take pride in that and doing whatever it takes to win.”

Withey

After a strict summer workout regime in 2010, he opened his senior season at LHS at 310 pounds and played great for three games before injuries slowed him.

“If the light bulb ever comes on for Jamal, and he rolls up his sleeves and gets to work, the sky’s the limit,” Wedd said. “Because he has some ability, and you know he’s got a pretty good gene pool, too.”

Patmon picks Pokes Former Kansas cornerback Tyler Patmon, who graduated from KU in May and left the team at the end of the 2012 season, will join the Oklahoma State program for the 2013 season, OSU officials announced through a press release Monday.

A three-year starter at KU, Patmon played in 35 career games and recorded 142 tackles, 11.5 tackles for loss, 22 pass break-ups and six interceptions. He led the team with three interceptions in 2012.

KU’s Geubelle, track coaches honored J-W Staff Reports

Kansas University senior jumper Andrea Geubelle, KU head coach Stanley Redwine and assistant coach Wayne Pate claimed Midwest Regional Awards, the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) announced Monday.

Geubelle was named the region’s female field athlete of the year for the first time in her career.

Redwine (women’s head coach of the year) and Pate (women’s assistant of the year) each earned his respective award for the second consecutive season.

Geubelle, a senior from University Place, Wash., won all three of the triple-jump events she competed in this outdoor season. She set the KU school record with her mark of 13.85 meters (45 feet, 13⁄4 inches) at the Georgia Tech Invite,

a leap that is No. 2 in the NCAA. Her top longjump mark of the year of 6.53 meters (21-51⁄4) ranks No. 5 in the nation. She won her second-straight Big 12 triple-jump title and finished runner-up in the long jump.

Redwine, in his 13th season as head coach, oversaw the KU women’s team that was ranked No. 1 in the national rankings for eight of the 10 weeks this season. KU has 13 athletes who rank in the top

10 in their events. The KU women claimed the program’s first Big 12 title after having eight Jayhawks win individual league crowns.

Redwine coached Diamond Dixon to her thirdstraight Big 12 400-meter title, as well as KU’s 4x400-meter relay. Kansas also successfully advanced 13 entries to the upcoming NCAA Championships in Eugene, Ore. Redwine was named

the Big 12 Women’s Coach of the Year in May. Pate, who is in his sixth-year as the horizontal jumps and combined events coach for KU, mentored three of his athletes to Big 12 titles in 2013. His athletes combined for 52 of the team’s 158 points as KU claimed its first Big 12 team title. Pate coached Geubelle, as well as Big 12 champions Francine Simpson (lone jump) and Lindsay Vollmer (heptahlon).

Free State’s Dieker first-team all-league soccer J-W Staff Reports

Junior Free State High midfielder Maddie Dieker was the lone city player to earn first-team All-Sunflower League honors this season.

WOMENâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S COLLEGE WORLD SERIES

Sooners win Game 1 on 12th-inning walkoff

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Reds shut down Rockies with umpire Mike Everitt during an argument on Sunday. The All-Star catcher appealed the decision.

Molinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourth homer lifted St. Louis to a 5-0 lead. He finished with two hits and two RBIs.

The Associated Press

National League Reds 3, Rockies 0 CINCINNATI â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Bronson Arroyoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first pitch of the game clocked 70 mph on the Great American Ball Park radar gun. The next two came in at 72 and 72 mph.

Nothing special there, except the Rockies couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t touch â&#x20AC;&#x2122;em.

Arroyo limited the NLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most prolific offense to four singles in eight innings, and Jay Bruce had a two-run homer among his three hits, leading Cincinnati to a victory over Colorado on Monday night.

The Reds have three shutouts in their last four games. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve blanked out six of their last 21 opponents, tying them with St. Louis and Pittsburgh for the league lead with nine shutouts this season.

Arroyo (6-5) allowed only one runner to reach second base while throwing 86 pitches that sometimes seemed oh-so-slow. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have amazing stuff,â&#x20AC;? Arroyo said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Things just worked out. It was one of those games. I was able to keep guys off second base. Had some quick innings, kept my pitch count down. Some days the ball bounces your way.â&#x20AC;?

Arroyo wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t amazing, but the results were impressive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He kept them off balance,â&#x20AC;? manager Dusty Baker said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He had good command of his pitches. He was able to put his fastball where he wanted. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tough ballclub to shut out.

Bronson was masterful.â&#x20AC;?

Aroldis Chapman took the radar gun to a different level in the ninth, hitting 100 mph while fanning three and walking one. The left-hander got his 15th save in 17 chances.

Bruce scored on Todd Frazierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s single in the fourth inning off Tyler Chatwood (3-1) and hit his ninth homer off left-hander Josh Outman in the eighth.

The Rockiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pitching staff had a setback for the second day in a row.

Chatwood left with a sore triceps after pitching only four innings. Rockies closer Rafael Betancourt went on the 15-day disabled list over the weekend with a strained groin.

Chatwood batted in the fifth, bunted and was thrown out. Rob Scahill had been throwing in the bullpen and replaced Chatwood, who threw 64 pitches and allowed four hits and one run.

Chatwood felt pain on a pitch in the third inning and it bothered him whenever he threw a fastball in the fourth. They took him out as a precaution to get treatment. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unclear whether it will force him to miss a start.

The right-hander was coming off one of his noteworthy starts. He fanned a career-high 10 in six innings against Houston.

Arroyo came in with a 4-8 career record against the Rockies, but kept them off balance from the start.

The Rockies lead the NL in runs, but couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do much with Arroyoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unorthodox approach.

The Reds have gone only 3-3 in the past week because of a slumping offense. They used a couple of well-placed hits to get a run in the fourth.

Bruce went the opposite way to left field, beating Coloradoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s infield shift, for a single with two outs. He stole his first base of the season and came around when Frazier flicked a low-and-away pitch to left field, one hand leaving the bat as he made contact.

Bruce scored as Carlos Gonzalezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s throw to the plate hit him in the back.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Lauren Chamberlain hit a two-run home run down the left-field line in the bottom of the 12th inning, lifting top-seeded Oklahoma to a 5-3 victory against Tennessee on Monday night in Game 1 of the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s College World Series finals.

Chamberlain followed Brianna Turangâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadoff double by smashing a high drive that soared over the foul pole for her 30th home run of the season, tying for the NCAA lead.

Game 2 of the best-of-

three championship series is tonight.

The Sooners capitalized on a dropped pop-up to rally from three runs down in the 11th after Tennesseeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Madison Shipman broke a scoreless tie with a three-run home run off of national player of the year Keilani Ricketts (35-1).

Ellen Renfroe (19-5) was able to match Ricketts until the end, striking out 13 for seventh-seeded Tennessee (52-11).

Heat respond, roll into Finals, 99-76 ————

James, Wade help Miami run away with Game 7 rout of Indiana MIAMI (AP) — Their season, their legacy, their reign atop the NBA was all at stake, and the Miami Heat responded in a manner befitting defending champions — with a blowout.

LeBron James scored 32 points and grabbed eight rebounds, ailing Dwyane Wade matched his postseason high with 21 points, and the Heat ran away from the Indiana Pacers 99-76 in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals on Monday night.

In the NBA Finals for the third straight year, the Heat will play the San Antonio Spurs in a series that starts Thursday in Miami.

“They’re just an amazing group of guys,” said Heat managing general partner Micky Arison, not long after handing the East championship trophy to Chris Andersen, who held it aloft as teammates standing around him celebrated. “They’ve given us an incredible season so far, but it’s a long way from over.”

It could have ended on Monday, of course. The Heat had alternated wins and losses with the Pacers in the first six games of the series, and were coming off their worst offensive outing of the year in Game 6.

They responded with a rout, despite shooting just under 40 percent, well below their norm.

“By any means necessary ... we took care of business,” James said.

Miami led by as many as 28 points, a shocking amount for a series that had an aggregate score of Heat 569, Pacers 564 entering Monday night.

The Heat actually trailed by six in the early going, were still down 21-19 after

MIAMI POWER FORWARD CHRIS ANDERSEN (11) WAITS FOR A REBOUND with Indiana center Roy Hibbert and Indiana small forward Gerald Green (25) during the second half of Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals. The Heat won, 99-76, Monday in Miami. the first quarter and it was starting to look like it was going to be one of those down-to-the-wire nights.

Not even close.

James exited with 5:08 left, shaking retired soccer star David Beckham’s hand as he made his way to the Heat bench for a relatively subdued celebration. Not long afterward, security personnel started what’s become a familiar task in Miami — surrounding the court and stretching out a yellow rope, preparing to hold people at bay for the looming on-court trophy presentation.

“You never want to take anything for grant-

ed,” Wade said afterward.

“Being here three straight years in a row, going back to the finals, is an amazing feat. I’m just glad we were able to do it. Everything that happened in the first six games didn’t mean anything to us. It was about tonight. It was about Game 7. It was about finding a way to win here at home.”

More than a few people didn’t stick around to see the East title formally presented. After all, it’s an allor-nothing season for the Heat — and this trophy isn’t the one that will satisfy them.

Ray Allen added 10 points for Miami, which

earned its 78th victory of the season, matching the 11th-best, single-season total in NBA history.

Roy Hibbert scored 18 points for the Pacers, who got 14 from David West, 13 from George Hill and 10 from Lance Stephenson. All-Star Paul George was held to seven points on 2-for-9 shooting and fouled out early in the fourth quarter.

George was the last Indiana player on the floor as Miami prepped for its postgame celebration, shaking any hand he could find before being walked toward the visiting locker room by Pacers coach Frank Vogel, who slung an

arm over his star’s shoulder.

His time will likely come — someday.

Not yet, though. Not with this Miami team built for titles. It’s the fourth trip to the finals for the Heat, who won the title in 2006 and have now been there all three years of the “Big Three” era, falling to Dallas in 2011 and then topping Oklahoma City in five games last year.

“The great thing is we’re a young team and we are past the building stage,” George said. “This is really our first year tasting success. The rate we are going, we see championships soon.”

They’re getting closer.

A second-round loss to Miami in six games last year was followed by a seven-game, conference-finals exit this time around.

Still, they’ll be watching the title round.

Miami went 2-0 against San Antonio this season, though neither of those games should be considered harbingers of what’s ahead. The Spurs rested four regulars in the first meeting, the Heat were without three injured starters in the second matchup.

James delivered an inspirational address of sorts to his team Monday morning, publicly revealing no details of what he said afterward other than insisting that the Heat would be ready.

He was right.

San Antonio stands in way of Heat repeat MIAMI (AP) — No more sitting out stars, and for the San Antonio Spurs, no more sitting around.

Finally, the NBA Finals match-up is set, and the Miami Heat will either win a second straight championship or the Spurs will go a perfect 5 for 5 in the title round while denying LeBron James a ring for the second time.

The Heat earned their third consecutive Eastern Conference title on Monday night, beating the Indiana Pacers 99-76 in Game 7 of their series. So it’s Heat vs. Spurs for the Larry O’Brien Trophy, a series that will begin Thursday in Miami, on the same floor where the Heat and James finished off Oklahoma City to win last season’s title.

Miami is looking for its third championship, San Antonio its fifth. And for James, it’s a chance to erase a memory that has stung him for six years.

His first trip to the finals came when he was with the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2007, and it was ugly — the Spurs winning in a four-game sweep for what was their fourth title.

San Antonio has not won the West since, so maybe it’s fitting that its return comes against James, albeit with the now fourtime MVP in a different uniform.

“Obviously, I needed more,” James said. “Our team, we were really good, but we weren’t great. And that was a great team. We lost to a better team. So I

Four MVPs, two more finals trips and one ring — and counting — later, James’ star level is now meteoric.

He’ll have a chance to not only win consecutive championships, but consecutive regular-season and finals MVPs as well.

“The best player in the world,” is how Indiana coach Frank Vogel described James.

When the Heat and Spurs play on Thursday night, it will mark their third meeting of the season. It may as well be the first.

Miami won both games this season, though it’s doubtful much of anything worthwhile could be gleaned for the scout-

ing reports from those contests. The Spurs sat four regulars in the first meeting, and drew a $250,000 fine from the NBA. It’ll be a finals that have a clash of on-court, offcourt and even cultural styles. The Heat play a flashier brand of basketball, have stars who are some of the world’s bestknown — and best-paid — endorsers of products, and have had no choice but to embrace a constant spotlight.

The Spurs, meanwhile, seem to revel in shunning any sort of extra attention.

“I wouldn’t say we avoid the attention, but I don’t think we’re out seeking it,” Spurs forward Matt Bonner said.

are better online dating sites that will match you up with men in your area (or at least in the same country). Try again. You also should ask your friends and relatives to introduce you to available men they know.

Local churches and synagogues often have singles groups, and you should be able to attend some functions without having to be a member.

Most importantly, project a confident, positive exterior. Smile.

Guys like women who Dear Breaking: There are fun to talk to. And

New judges of ‘Talent’ show arrive “America’s Got Talent” (8 p.m., NBC) arrives with new judges. It’s yet to be seen if they alter the show’s chemistry.

But their addition has already changed the formula for success.

Longtime judge Sharon Osbourne has departed. She’s being replaced by Heidi Klum of “Project Runway” fame and Mel B, long known as Scary Spice of The Spice Girls. Judges Howard Stern and Howie Mandel return, as does host Nick Cannon.

The presence of four showbiz solons means contestants must get three votes to proceed. A 2-2 tie is a “no.” And some fear that Klum, with a “Runway” reputation for tart Teutonic perfectionism (“You’re out!”), may not wield Osbourne’s soft touch. And when Mel B previously appeared on “Talent,” her penchant for buzzer-pushing provoked audience boos. ‘‘Talent” has been a bright spot for NBC during some pretty lean years. It has consistently topped the ratings during the summer months. One wonders why NBC hasn’t aired “Talent” during the regular season (when ratings really count) and relegated the horrible “Celebrity Apprentice” to the dog days.

“Pretty Wicked Moms” (9 p.m., Lifetime) all but steals the “Real Housewives” formula, even setting itself in Atlanta, where “Housewives” has been running for years. The “Wicked” participants tend to be a tad younger, and have toddlers running around.

But the general theme of bickering while tottering around on high heels continues. One of the “Moms” is the “mother” of a dog and not a child. Each of the women appears to have spent the equivalent of a normal family’s annual income on hair product alone.

Based on a hit Japanese game show, the participants on “Exit” (9 p.m., Syfy) must make their way through a series of increasingly challenging and terrifying rooms. Sounds like a video game.

Tonight’s other highlights

Do wasted brain cells count toward “Extreme Weight Loss” (7 p.m., ABC)?

Live eliminations on “The Voice” (7 p.m., NBC).

Two hours of auditions on “So You Think You Can Dance” (7 p.m., Fox).

High-profile cases abound on “Brooklyn DA” (9 p.m., CBS).

Megan and her team come under fire on “Body of Proof” (9 p.m., ABC).

Dear Annie: I have a beautiful granddaughter who is getting married in June. However, I am not invited to the wedding.

I’ve been told they are keeping it really small because of the size of the facility. But I found out there will be about 20 guests. I’m invited to the reception, and I’ve already been told what gift my granddaughter wants as a wedding present. It’s quite pricey.

I thought I had a good relationship with my grandkids. But sometimes it seems I’m only needed when they want expensive things. Should I keep quiet about this hurt? I’m not sure I can go to the reception, and

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Tuesday, June 4: This year you often will feel as if you cannot be direct enough.

Realize that you could get some strong reactions as a result. If you are single, you will attract more than one suitor who appeals to different parts of your character. If you are attached, your multifaceted personality does not surprise your sweetie, though he or she might have a preference as to which way you should go.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) Your concern is not only about your finances, but also whether you have the power and strength that is necessary to make a difference. You might be concerned about the outcome of a certain situation. Tonight: Happily head home.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You could be dragging in the morning, but by afternoon you’ll start to feel your Wheaties.

You’ll feel empowered, and you won’t hesitate to discuss an idea.

Tonight: Be where you want to be.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) It is likely that you need to head in a new direction. Many of you will see this fact clearly during the day. Tonight: Do for you.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You might want to rethink a decision more carefully. A discussion could shed some light on the potential problem. Tonight: Where the fun is.

that may cause a larger distance between us. — Upset Grandmother Dear Upset: Of course, we would hope the bride would want her grandmother to be at the wedding, but let’s not jump to conclusions. A ceremony with 20 guests is exceedingly small and also includes members of the groom’s immediate family, of whom there may be many. If you can possibly attend the reception, it would be lovely. Either way, you are under no obligation to purchase an expensive wedding present simply because your granddaughter asked for one.

demands your time and attention.

Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might need to evolve to a new level of understanding when dealing with a partner and a financial matter. You have the control you desire. Tonight: Out and about.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Others will want to call the shots, but you could have a lot to share. You’ll command their attention. Tonight: A loved one makes you smile.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Listen to what is being shared, and know that you might not like everything you hear. Your version of what is possible could change. Tonight: Share, if it would make it easier.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Your creativity soars.

You laugh and see life from a new perspective. Tonight: Just for you.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might feel pressured by a personal issue. Your ability to break down barriers now will directly affect your ability to relax later.

Tonight: Your creativity flourishes.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Get busy, make phone calls and schedule meetings. Keep conversations moving, and understand that there could be a difference of opinion among those around you. Tonight: Happy at home.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You could be extremely tired and withdrawn, especially with a demanding associate or family member. Avoid taking any financial risks, and you will be happier.

Tonight: Chat the night away.

Dear Annie: I was overweight throughout most of my childhood and became morbidly obese after high school.

When I was in college, I had terrible self-esteem and a horrible body image. I never dated.

Three years ago, I had gastric bypass and have since lost more than 200 pounds. I’ve been trying to start dating, but the individuals I have approached are either seeing someone else or are not interested. I tried online dating sites, but the men who responded all live far away, some in other countries, and I’m leery of proceeding. I am not sure about the bar scene and am unaware of any singles groups in my area.

So, I guess I would like some advice on how and where to start relationships. — Breaking Out of My Shell
