Political officials scramble to round up candidates New map leaves nearly 30 open seats in Legislature

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — A Republican Party official said Saturday it was like “open field running.” A Democratic Party official said she expected to be on the telephone

and on the road all weekend.

Welcome to Kansas politics after redistricting.

A panel of three federal judges hit the reset button late Thursday by producing legislative districts that left nearly 30 open seats and paired up dozens of incumbents in other districts.

And the judges left in place the noon Monday deadline for candidates to file.

That meant Republicans and Democrats are scrambling over the weekend to make sure they have candidates in incumbentless districts and sort out strategies in districts where there

were two incumbents. In some cases, candidates were moving to newly drawn districts.

“I have a list in front of me and a phone stuck in my ear,” Kansas Democratic Party Chairwoman Joan Wagnon said Saturday.

Wagnon said she would work the phone all day to line up poten-

Wineries toasting changes to liquor laws

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

Angela Turpin, director of the diabetes program at Children’s Mercy Hospital, said the incidences of Type 1 diabetes is rising, especially among children ages 5 and under. She said researchers do not know why but they believe environmental factors may be involved.

With Type 1 diabetes, a body does not produce insulin. Insulin is a hormone that

A first of its kind wine-tasting festival in Kansas will take place Saturday in De Soto at Riverfest Park.

“This is a new ballgame,” said Patrick Guilfoyle, city administrator of De Soto and an advocate of Kansas wines.

During the recently completed legislative session, Gov. Sam Brownback signed a wideranging mix of changes to the state’s alcoholic beverage laws.

One of those is known as the “De Soto Law” that will allow visitors at wine-tasting festivals to taste wine samples and buy bottles of those same wines at the tasting event. Before this law’s enactment, wine-tasting visitors would have to travel directly to the wineries to purchase those same wines.

Guilfoyle said that was a big obstacle for the state’s wineries.

The measure took effect May 31, so the Winesong at Riverfest will be the first winetasting event to take advantage of the new law, and 14 Kansas wineries will be represented at the festival.

A short ride to Winesong is a “no-brainer,” Guilfoyle said, noting that a round-trip to those 14 Kansas wineries would be 335 miles.

Tickets to Winesong are $15 each and include 10 wine samplings, a souvenir wine glass and appetizers from local food vendors.

Amber Cersovsky is frustrated that two Lawrence child care centers have refused to give insulin shots to her 6-yearold son, Caleb Anderson, who was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in March.

At KinderCare Learning Center, she said, she helped train staff members on how to give Caleb his shots. But then, a decision was made at the corporate level that employees wouldn’t administer the shots.

Amber, a single mother who works full time at Free State Brewery, said she can’t take off work several times a day to check her son’s blood-sugar levels and give him shots before snacks and meals.

“I don’t know what our next steps are,” Cersovsky said. She has called a number

of agencies and lawyers for help, but so far they either haven’t returned her calls or they haven’t been able to help.

For now, Caleb’s dad, Phillip Anderson, who is self-employed, has been taking care of him, but he said it hasn’t been easy juggling work and child care. He and Cersovsky would rather have Caleb in a child care setting where he would be learning and interacting with other children; their 4-year-old daughter, Aubrey, attends KinderCare.

During the school year, Caleb attends Schwegler School, and a nurse or secretary provided his shots there. Cersovsky is seeking child care for the summer and before and after school.

“We can’t be alone in dealing with this issue,” she said. !"!"!

Underground prescription drugs an ‘epidemic’ Abuse of medicine increasing across Kansas

By Shaun Hittle sdhittle@ljworld.com

On a daily basis, people in Lawrence engage in an underground economy of selling and buying prescription pain medications, said a Douglas County mother of two.

“Dispersed all over town,” said the woman, who began abusing prescription pain medications like Oxycontin over the past couple of years.

“It’s a huge epidemic.”

She did it all while raising two children and living a “regular life.”

“You would have no idea,” said the woman, who asked to remain anonymous. She said she nearly died after an overdose of pain medications in September. Sometimes to avoid the withdrawal effects, the woman would pay up to $100 for one pill.

The abuse of such prescription pain medications — opioids derived

from the same source as heroin — is increasing across the state, according to data obtained from the Kansas State Board of Pharmacy.

Four of the top 10 medications prescribed since 2010 in Kansas were pain medications, such as Vicodin and Percocet. Physicians prescribed more than 44 million pills of hydrocodone, the generic name for Vicodin, last Please see DRUGS, page 2A

Cars, crafts highlight Tonganoxie Days

By Shawn Linenberger slinenberger@theworldco.info

Dave Freeman purchased his first car at the age of 13 in 1984.

He’s owned more than 50 different cars since that first hot rod, a 1967 Mustang.

One of those is a 1978 Trans Am, which Freeman featured at the Tonganoxie Days Car Show on Saturday at Tonganoxie’s VFW Park.

Whether it’s building or buying, he’s had longstanding love for cars.

“I’ve been building cars since I was a little kid,” the rural Leavenworth resident said.

He purchased the Trans Am nine years ago when it had 49,000 miles. It now has 52,000, so it’s basically “just for looks,” Freeman said with a laugh.

His vehicle was one of about 85 at the car show that takes place in conjunction with Tonganoxie Days each

year. This was the 27th annual edition of the event.

The festival spanned four blocks through downtown with vendors offering various crafts, a petting zoo, games and food.

Carey Hedrick, owner of Road Runner Sales, made the roughly twoand-a-half-hour trip to sell metal garden art at the festival. It was her first time selling at Tonganoxie Days, but she’s made much longer trips, including to events in Ohio, Texas and Indiana.

She said she likely would be back for next year’s Tonganoxie Days and that her most popular item was “probably the flying pigs” — yard art of pigs with wings.

The Leavenworth County Barbecue Championships took place down the road at the Leavenworth County Fairgrounds as well, and various music and other entertainment took place downtown throughout the day.

year alone. All four of those medications have seen increases since 2010.

Deaths from opioid overdoses have increased fourfold since 1999, with 97 such deaths recorded in Kansas by hospitals in 2011.

The over-prescribing of such medications is creating addiction problems for patients across the country, said Richard Chapman, director of the University of Utah’s Pain Medication Research Center.

“People are prescribing opioids like crazy,” Chapman said. “It’s all over the country.”

Chapman said the rise in the past decade of prescriptions for pain medications started as a well-intentioned effort by doctors who saw the pain-relief benefits of such drugs on terminally ill cancer patients.

Doctors then began prescribing opioids for everything from arthritis to back pain.

A main issue with the increase in prescribing opioids for pain is a lack of controlled studies on their effects in non-cancer patients, Chapman said.

The increased use has caused a “host of complications we’d never imagine,” including decreased energy, and ironically an increased sensitivity to pain, Chapman said.

Jeff Sigler, a Lawrence pharmacist, said that in addition to a willingness by physicians to prescribe opioid medications for pain, societal shifts in how

some of the graduates and alumni weren’t at the ceremony because they were out finishing recruiting efforts of candidates.

“The vast network has been activated,” Adkins said.

Clayton Barker, executive director of the state GOP, said he was staying in contact with local party officials to make sure empty districts had candidates.

He said the new maps “open up a lot of opportunities for people.” Some potential Republican candidates may not have wanted to run against an incumbent, but with so many open seats, they are now considering a future in elected office, he said.

But some districts pitted incumbents against each.

For example, state Sens. Ray Merrick, of Stilwell, and Pat Apple, of Louisburg, who are both considered conservative Republicans, now find themselves in the same senatorial district. Barker said he doesn’t know what will happen.

“They may fight it out in the primary,” he said.

Americans tolerate pain has played a role in an increased use of opioids.

Instead of toughing it out, people go to the doctor.

“Our society is less tolerant to pain than we used to be,” Sigler said.

And people are more sedentary, which can exacerbate back pain problems, one of the major ailments reported by those prescribed pain medications, Sigler said.

‘It’s a game’ Jan Campbell, an addictions psychiatrist at the Kansas University Medical Center, said common sense measures and guidelines for physicians can reduce opioid abuse. For instance, doctors who prescribe such medications need to thoroughly evaluate patients, requiring documentation of pain-related ailments and history. And doctors need to inform patients about the abuse potential of opioids and how to get help if they notice signs of addiction.

Several states, such as Florida, have enacted measures to prevent overprescribing, including requiring a blood test of patients so doctors can see whether a patient already has opioids in his or her system.

While those measures could cut down the number of people who “doctor shop” for opioids, it wouldn’t prevent all forms of abuse.

The Douglas County woman who struggled with opioid addiction bought her opioids from a man whose mother was legitimately prescribed Oxycontin for terminal cancer. The man’s mother would keep enough for her own supply and make thousands of dollars ev-

ing a refrigerated truck to store cases of wine.

Several other major changes in alcohol regulations were approved by the Legislature this session, including one that is designed to lure a dinner train business to the area. These changes take effect July 1.

Under one provision, dinner railway cars can obtain a liquor license. Rep. TerriLois Gregory, R-Baldwin City, said the measure was aimed at luring a Nebraska dinner train busi-

ness to operate between Baldwin City and Ottawa.

Other provisions of the new law allow: #" Drinking establishments to offer “Happy Hour” specials. Previously, bars could offer special drink prices, but those charges had to last all day. #" Micro-distilleries to sell and serve their products on their premises. #" Liquor stores to offer free tastings of beer, wine and alcohol to their customers.

The political party primaries are Aug. 7.

Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach said he expected a big crowd when his office opened at 8 a.m. Monday. Candidates will be filing for office or modifying a previous filing before Kobach drops the gavel at noon to signal the end of the filing period.

The unprecedented shake-up by the judges occurred after the Republican-dominated Legislature failed to approve new political boundaries for congressional, legislative and State Board of Education districts. Moderate and conservative Republicans fought all year trying to gain an advantage in drawing the district lines, and finally the judges settled the issue.

Another key decision

by the judges was putting Lawrence and Douglas County entirely in the 2nd Congressional District. It has been split between the 2nd and 3rd for 10 years.

This will put more Democratic voters in a district represented by U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins, a Republican from Topeka. But Republicans will still hold a voter registration edge. “We can live with it,” Barker said.

Wagnon said she believes putting Douglas County in the 2nd makes the district more competitive, and that she was satisfied with the maps ordered by the court.

“They produced a fair plan,” she said of the judges. “And we are going to have a fair fight.”

ery month selling off hundreds of other pills.

When the woman’s supplier was out of the medications, getting them from another source was no problem.

“It’s a game,” she said, detailing the network of local people actively engaged daily in selling and using prescription opioids.

Her abuse and addiction just kept ratcheting up, and she needed more and more of the drugs to hold back withdrawal effects.

“It really took over,” she said.

She lost her job, her home and her car. As she approached rock bottom, she began scraping off — then shooting intravenously — the residue from a pain medication patch, which when worn slowly releases the drug into the body. When injected, the effects are quicker and more potent.

In September, she was rushed to a hospital after she stopped breathing while using opioids.

“I was dead,” said the woman, who required resuscitation. She remembers little of her weeks-long hospital stay or the overdose. “My body was done.”

Fear of losing custody of her two children provided enough incentive to get clean, said the woman, who hasn’t used opioids in eight months.

She’s slowly rebuilding the regular life she once had, hoping to put her time as an opioid addict behind here.

“It’s not easy,” she said.

Do something today that you’ll always be remembered for.

Becky Schulte, university archivist, said the University Archives has a clothing collection that includes items like the sweater. Archive items receive conservation treatment if needed, and are mostly kept in storage.

They are used by museum studies students for case studies and are sometimes used for displays during classes, tours and exhibits.

The KU Memorial Unions also have several displays featuring Jayhawk memorabilia and would accept the sweater, said Mike Reid, director of public affairs for the unions, who is in charge of the KU collection. Reid said they would try to find a place to display it, and it could be framed and posted with a small sign with the donor’s name if desired.

Fire calls keep crews busy on Saturday

A fire on Saturday afternoon at 319 Northwood Lane left a duplex uninhabitable and the building’s garage damaged.

A man and child occupied one side of the duplex, but both were able to escape the building on their own. The other side of the duplex was unoccupied, and there were no injuries.

The cause and damage estimate from the fire is still under investigation, said Doug Green, Division Chief for Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical.

Green said the Red Cross was called and will assist the occupants of the duplex because of the damage caused to their home.

The duplex on Northwood was just a few blocks from the site of an earlier structure fire on Saturday.

The fire at a home at 1300 W. Second Terrace started in the morning.

The cause is still under investigation, but a 6-by-8foot exterior shed caught fire and the fire traveled to the adjacent home. There was no estimate Saturday night on the cause or damage, Green said.

Also Saturday, multiple emergency units responded around 2:45 p.m. to a grass fire near Lecompton on U.S. Highway 40. Workers were able to control the fire within half an hour and no one was injured.

KUMC CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

his 43 years on the KUMC faculty.

Barbara Atkinson, who at the time was actively serving as executive vice chancellor of KU Medical Center and the executive dean of the School of Medicine, praised his contributions to the university, even in an announcement she made to the KUMC community saying he was being removed as chairman of his department in April 2011.

“I recognize Dr. Klaassen’s very significant contributions to KUMC and to science over the years, as well as the success he has had in building the faculty and research programs of the department,” she wrote.

KUMC’s stance Despite his achievements, the university in a written report detailed allegations against Klaassen going back to 2009.

The allegations of disruptive and bullying behavior include several specific instances, drawing from interviews with faculty and PowerPoint slides from faculty meetings. According to KUMC’s report included in Klaassen’s court filing: ! Klaassen instituted an English-only rule in the department, saying that speaking a language other than English in the department was “very divisive,” and when someone hears his or her name in a conversation in another language, “one often assumes the worst, that is, the conversation is something negative about you.” ! Klaassen became upset after being informed of space changes in the department, and informed the faculty in a presentation that used PowerPoint slides that included images of soldiers armed with guns pointing outward from a circle indicating that those in the department must protect each other. Another slide showed one soldier with his gun pointed inward toward the circle. ! Klaassen on several occasions made personal verbal attacks against faculty members and staff and behaved erratically, both in meetings and in other conversations. At a presentation to the university from an outside vendor demonstrating a faculty activity reporting system, Klaassen interrupted the presentation and wondered why the university was spending money given its budget constraints and referred to KUMC as a “slumlord institution,” according to KUMC’s report. ! Klaassen failed to report, on his conflict of interest forms with the state, income from a private review course for board certification in toxicology that he taught.

seemingly meaningless misunderstandings blown entirely out of proportion.”

They said KUMC investigators failed to interview his many supporters, including students and other faculty members, who paint a different picture than the one described in KUMC’s report. They allege that KUMC began investigating Klaassen and taking disciplinary action against him only after the professor went to Chancellor Bernadette GrayLittle with seven other basic science chairs and distinguished professors to address concerns with Atkinson’s leadership and management.

“Given Dr. Klaassen’s esteemed reputation and world-renowned leadership in his field, one has to wonder why he is now the subject of a personnel investigation by KUMC, the very place to which he has dedicated his entire career,” wrote Robert W. Cotter, an attorney from a Kansas City, Mo., law firm representing Klaassen.

“We believe the investigation is a direct response to Dr. Klaassen’s critical inquiry into Dean Barbara Atkinson’s decisionmaking with regard to the KUMC basic science departments.”

Atkinson has announced she will step down from her position effective June 30, and is no longer playing an active role in the leadership of KUMC after reaching an agreement with the university that would essentially pay her a year’s salary after she left her leadership posts.

Klaassen’s attorneys said Klaassen had never been informed of the complaints against him or given a chance to respond until after KUMC’s inquiry committee interviewed him for his response to the allegations, and hadn’t seen anything in writing until the committee issued its report.

During the investigation, KUMC placed Klaassen on administrative leave for 45 days, allowing him to return Dec. 16, 2011, according to court filings. Klaassen’s attorneys alleged that when he returned to work, he was forced to move offices twice to an older building, and was transferred to the department of medicine.

Next steps The committee in charge of sorting out the claims has concluded its investigation and hearing, which was closed to the public. It has made a recommendation to Steven Stites, acting KUMC executive vice chancellor. He and Gray-Little have several options once they see the recommendation of the committee: they could do nothing at all, censure Klaassen publicly, suspend him with or without pay, or terminate his employment.

Klaassen’s attorneys, in their written response to Klaassen’s response the university, said they Klaassen’s attorneys, intend to “vigorously dein a written response fend Dr. Klaassen from to KUMC’s report, said these unfounded attacks.” that after reviewing the — Higher education reporter Andy written report, they “are Hyland can be reached at 832-6388. genuinely disturbed at its Follow him at Twitter.com/LJW_KU. one-sided recitation of

Driver in Jeep fatality passed sobriety tests A Douglas County Sheriff’s officer last Saturday administered field sobriety tests to the driver of a Jeep that a Topeka man fatally fell from.

“He passed all of those,” said Sgt. Steve Lewis, a Douglas County Sheriff’s spokesman.

The accident occurred about 8 p.m. June 2 on private property in the 1800 section of East 56 Road in northwestern Douglas County. Mark Coker, who turned 43 two days before the accident, died last Sunday at Stormont-Vail Regional Health Center in Topeka.

An accident report released Friday identified the Jeep’s driver as Craig A. Heersink, 41, of Tecumseh.

He was driving the 1998 Jeep Wrangler northeast on a private gravel road when Coker, who was riding on

the rear bumper, fell and suffered a head injury. No one else was hurt.

Three other people were riding inside the vehicle with Heersink. It was unknown if any of the four wore seat belts. The report said a 24-year-old Topeka man was riding on the back bumper with Coker, who was a longtime employee of the Shawnee Heights school district.

The report notes that officers observed signs Heersink had consumed alcohol, but it does not say alcohol contributed to the accident.

Lewis said the sheriff’s office would forward information about the accident to Douglas County prosecutors to review because it resulted in a fatality. The accident report lists no traffic citations or contributing circumstances.

Symphony

George Terbovich of Kansas City, Kan., was pleased with this year’s site and the way staff and volunteers worked to get it to all come together.

“The success of this venue is due to the fact that everyone puts such great effort into respecting the reverence of the Flint Hills,” he said, “and that ultimately speaks in how well the event is carried off.”

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

“We thought the whole concept was really intriguing,” she said. “It’s a nice way to educate people about the Flint Hills.”

Education is a large part of the Symphony in the Flint Hills organization’s mission. Brandon Cole, Symphony in the Flint Hills’ site manager, said he hopes no one leaves without a greater appreciation for the land and its history.

“The Symphony in the Flint Hills’ main objective is to heighten the appreciation and awareness for the Flint Hills of Kansas,” Cole said. “What we do is use the Symphony from Kansas City as an attraction to see the real attraction, and that is the Flint Hills.”

Much of the remaining 3 percent of what was once millions of acres of tallgrass prairie lies in Kansas.

Melissa McGinty/Special to the Journal-World

PEOPLE ATTENDING THE SYMPHONY IN THE FLINT HILLS enjoyed horse-drawn wagon rides in the afternoon. The event focuses on preserving the scenic beauty of the tallgrass prairie.

Early in the day Saturday, people’s biggest concern was the robust wind that swept the concert site throughout the afternoon.

Alan Van Loenen, of Lawrence, has worked at the symphony for five or six years with the Third Kansas Battery B Light Artillery Civil War re-enactment group, which uses the event as a fundraiser by selling beverages. Be-

cause Van Loenen has to work throughout the concert, he listens to the music from a tent.

“The Flint Hills is part of Kansas history, and for the symphony to come out here and do this is fantastic,” Van Loenen said. “But if the wind keeps blowing like this, we aren’t going to be able to hear it up here.”

Insulin CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

is needed to convert sugar, starches and food into energy for daily life. Eventually, diabetes is fatal unless treated with insulin. Turpin said there are two common treatments: injections and pumps. With injections, one dose is usually given at bedtime that lasts 24 hours, and then other doses are given before meals and snacks. The pump is worn like a pager and it’s got a little tube that goes just under the skin.

Turpin said about 90 percent of children are on pumps because they are easier to manage and are more precise. She said they’ve had a baby who was 8 weeks old on a pump.

Turpin said Children’s Mercy helps educate and train a variety of people how to administer insulin, including child care providers, school teachers and secretaries.

“Once you know how to do it, it’s not a difficult concept. It’s usually pretty straightforward,” she said. !"!"!

Under Kansas law, child care providers are not required to administer insulin shots; however, they could be under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Tom Copeland, an attorney and national expert in child care business law, described it as a tricky issue.

“The Americans with Disabilities Act says providers can’t discriminate against people with disabilities, and clearly someone who is diabetic has a disability,” he said.

“A provider couldn’t say, ‘The idea of giving shots freaks me out; therefore, I don’t want to do it.’”

But, he said, there are loopholes or gray areas.

For example, ADA says providers have to provide care unless it would create an undue burden that is a significant difficulty or expense.

“In this case, we aren’t talking about an expense,” Copeland said. “So, it comes down to a significant difficulty, but it doesn’t sound difficult to me.”

Copeland said there have been very few court cases involving child care providers who refused to administer insulin shots because usually those issues are worked out or the parents find another provider.

“If a child care program is going to deny care, a lot of times what happens is the parents aren’t going to complain; they are just going to move on to somebody else. I am sure there are a lot of circumstances where parents are left holding the bag but nobody’s pressing the matter.”

Jessica Harrah, director of Inclusion Services for KinderCare Learning Centers, said their employees do not provide insulin injections because it poses a safety risk to the children.

“Our staff members are not qualified to engage in invasive medical procedures, including injections with variable dosing requirements. And, while we strive to meet the needs all of children in our centers, we will not place the safety of those children at risk,” she said.

But Harrah said KinderCare does provide other types of care for diabetic children, including blood glucose monitoring, walking a child to a nearby medical facility to get an injection from a medical professional and operating an insulin pump with a physician-set safety. The center also will work with family, friends or medical professionals who are willing to provide the injections.

Harrah said they serve about 150 diabetic children nationwide.

Copeland said that if providers are unwilling to cooperate, parents should contact the Kansas Human Rights Department or the Department of Justice to file a complaint. Even then, he said, the departments will seek to resolve the issue, and if it can’t be resolved, the parents would have to decide whether they want to file a lawsuit.

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD Of those, 29 have indicated that they have experience or an interest in working with diabetic children and 18 have openings.

Marie Treichel, a provider services manager for Child Care Aware, said she doesn’t know exactly what “experience or interest” entails. It could range from reading a book on diabetes to providing care with an insulin pump.

But she encourages families to use Child Care Aware to help find the best placement for their child. When a parent calls 800-297-2372, he or she is matched with a resource specialist who will interview the parents about their needs, and then they will provide a list of providers to consider.

Child Care Aware, which has an office in Lawrence at 2706 Iowa, also helps educate and train child care providers to improve quality of services.

Treichel said her office hasn’t received any inquiries concerning insulin injections, but she can see all sides of the issue.

For parents, they may not have the financial means or opportunity with their jobs to be able to drop

She helped train Tucker’s teacher, Erica Stannard, on how to check his blood-sugar levels and how to administer his insulin.

“I was scared to death. I really didn’t have any background,” Stannard said. “I was pretty nervous about it, but the feeling was that we would give it a try.”

She said it helped to know that English was working just a few minutes away, and it helped to have an administrative employee who had taken care of her own child with diabetes. She also found materials provided by Children’s Mercy helpful.

“We did little baby steps,” she said about the learning process. Now she checks his blood sugar several times a day and gives him one insulin shot.

“It’s working out fine.

I’m not losing sleep anymore,” she said, with laughter. “Tucker is really good about it. If he were kicking and screaming and fighting, I don’t think I could do it.” !"!"!

According to Child Care Aware, there are 229 licensed child care programs in Douglas County.

in and give those life-saving insulin shots. For providers, she believes it can be difficult to properly train staff to administer insulin and there is an increased risk of liability.

But, more importantly, it’s unhealthy to move children from one provider to the next, especially when they are dealing with a new diagnosis such as diabetes.

English said Tucker was pretty traumatized by the diabetes and she had a tough time giving him shots. But leaving his teachers and friends at the child care center that he had attended for about a year was even worse.

“It was the saddest thing ever,” she said. “You can’t really explain to a 4-yearold why he had to leave his school. There were times when he wanted to go back.”

This spring, he transitioned into his new school, made new friends and likes his teacher. He also takes his shots like a champ.

“It’s been amazing,” English said. “When I think back, I can’t even believe we went through what we did.”

Stunning order A stunning redistricting order has set the stage for some profound changes in the Kansas Legislature.

J

ust when many Kansans thought this year’s redistricting drama couldn’t get any more bizarre …

Late Thursday night, a panel of three federal judges released redistricting plans that could be the most significant development in Kansas politics in a century. After decades of district lines being drawn primarily to protect incumbents in the Kansas congressional delegation and Kansas Legislature, the judges drew district maps based on the stated criteria of protecting community interests while producing districts that are as compact and contiguous as possible and with populations that are as equal as they can practically be.

What the judges didn’t consider was what impact the new lines would have on incumbent officeholders. If you don’t believe it, just ask the 45 Kansas House members and six Kansas senators who now live in the same district as another incumbent House or Senate member. In a few of those cases, one incumbent already has decided not to run (or, in one case, is now deceased), but, in many other districts, the new lines could produce some ideologically interesting races in November.

The concentration of incumbents into fewer districts also left the state with no incumbents and, in some cases, no filed candidates for 25 Kansas House Many seats. That’s no legislators small problem probably now considering that the filing deadline regret their still is noon Mondecision to It’s an opporallow the court day. tunity for some to settle their political newredistricting comers to get involved, but it also feud.” may be a boon to real estate agents or landlords if some incumbents decide to move away from their new competition and establish residency elsewhere.

It’s likely to be a busy weekend in political circles and an even busier Monday morning in the secretary of state’s office as candidates from across the state file.

In the big scheme of things, changes in Lawrence and Douglas County were relatively minor. Reps. Barbara Ballard, Paul Davis and Tom Sloan all still live in their same districts and are the only incumbents in those districts. However, Reps. Anthony Brown, R-Eudora, and Terri Lois Gregory, R-Baldwin City, now reside in the same district. Sen. Marci Francisco’s district now includes much of Jefferson County, and Sen. Tom Holland’s district stretches far into Leavenworth County, but neither district includes another incumbent.

All of Douglas County now lies in the 2nd Congressional District, according to the map adopted by the judges, which is almost identical to a map passed by the Kansas Senate early in the session but rejected by the House. That map also puts Manhattan in the 1st District, which was an outcome many legislators fought to avoid because they wanted to protect Rep. Lynn Jenkins’ Republican voter base and because they reportedly had been warned by U.S. House Speaker John Boehner that having U.S. Rep. Tim Huelskamp representing Manhattan might endanger the future of the National Bio- and Agro-defense Facility there.

That was only one of the political factors the judges chose to ignore in their decision. The judges acknowledged in their written order that because the court was trying “to restore compact, contiguous districts where possible, it is pushing a reset button” that produces districts that look far different than the previous maps. To those who would disagree with their conclusions, the judges offered a reminder that they “did not tread unreservedly into this political thicket. On short notice, with elections pending on the immediate horizon, we have acted solely to remedy a legislative default.”

Many legislators probably now regret their decision to allow the court to settle their redistricting feud. Some may be considering ways to appeal the court’s decision either before or after this year’s elections. The maps drawn by the judges have set the stage for significant changes in the Statehouse and perhaps more serious consideration of changes to our redistricting system. They certainly offer a vivid insight on just how political our redistricting process had become and how profoundly different it would be with the politics removed.

Higher education bubble will pop WASHINGTON — Many parents and the children they send to college are paying rapidly rising prices for something of declining quality. This is because “quality” is not synonymous with “value.”

Glenn Harlan Reynolds, University of Tennessee law professor, believes college has become, for many, merely a “status marker” signaling membership in the educated caste, and a place to meet spouses of similar status — “associative mating.” Since 1961, the time students spend reading, writing and otherwise studying has fallen from 24 hours a week to about 15 — enough for a degree often desired only as a signifier of rudimentary qualities (e.g., the ability to follow instructions). Employers value this signifier as an alternative to aptitude tests when evaluating potential employees because such tests can provoke lawsuits by having a “disparate impact” on a racial or ethnic group.

In his Encounter Books Broadside “The Higher Education Bubble,” Reynolds says this bubble exists for the same reasons the housing bubble did.

The government decided that too few people owned homes/ went to college, so government money was poured into subsidized and sometimes subprime mortgages/student loans, with the predictable result that housing prices/college tuitions soared and many borrowers

“

Tuitions and fees have risen more than 440 percent in 30 years as schools happily raised prices — and lowered standards — to siphon up federal money.” went bust. Tuitions and fees have risen more than 440 percent in 30 years as schools happily raised prices — and lowered standards — to siphon up federal money. A recent Wall Street Journal headline: “Student Debt Rises by 8% as College Tuitions Climb.”

Richard Vedder, an Ohio University economist, writes in the Chronicle of Higher Education that as many people — perhaps more — have student loan debts as have college degrees. Have you seen those Tshirts that proclaim “College: The Best Seven Years of My Life”? Twenty-nine percent of borrowers never graduate, and many who do graduate take decades to repay their loans.

In 2010, The New York Times reported on Cortney Munna, then 26, a New York University graduate with almost $100,000 in debt. If her repayments were not then being deferred because she was enrolled in night school, she would have been paying $700 monthly from her $2,300 monthly aftertax income as a photographer’s assistant. She says she is toiling “to pay for an education I got for four years and would happily give back.” Her degree is in religious and women’s studies.

The budgets of California’s universities are being cut, so recently Cal State Northridge students conducted an almosthunger strike (sustained by a blend of kale, apple and celery juices) to protest, as usual, tuition increases and, unusually and properly, administrators’ salaries. For example, in 2009 the base salary of UC Berkeley’s Vice Chancellor for Equity and Inclusion was $194,000, almost four times that of starting assistant professors. And by 2006, academic administrators outnumbered faculty.

The Manhattan Institute’s Heather Mac Donald notes that sinecures in academia’s diversity industry are expanding as academic offerings contract. UC San Diego, while eliminating master’s programs in electrical and computer engineering and comparative literature, and eliminating courses in French, German, Spanish and English

literature, added a diversity requirement for graduation to cultivate “a student’s understanding of her or his identity.”

So, rather than study computer science and Cervantes, students can study their identities — themselves. Says Mac Donald, “‘Diversity,’ it turns out, is simply a code word for narcissism.”

She reports that UCSD lost three cancer researchers to Rice University, which offered them 40 percent pay increases. But UCSD found money to create a vice chancellorship for equity, diversity and inclusion. UC Davis has a Diversity Trainers Institute under an administrator of diversity education, who presumably coordinates with the Cross-Cultural Center. It also has: a Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Resource Center; a Sexual Harassment Education Program; a diversity program coordinator; an early resolution discrimination coordinator; a Diversity Education Series that awards Understanding Diversity Certificates in “Unpacking Oppression” and Cross-Cultural Competency Certificates in “Understanding Diversity and Social Justice.”

So taxpayers should pay more and parents and students should borrow more to fund administrative sprawl in the service of stale political agendas? Perhaps they will, until “pop!” goes the bubble.

OLD HOME TOWN

From the Lawrence Daily JournalWorld for June 10, 1912: “It is practically YEARS certain that a special AGO car will be used by IN 1912 the Lawrence men who wish to go to Chicago to attend the Republican National Convention. It requires eighteen men to secure a special car and it seems certain that there will be that many go from here and nearby places. The most of these will be Lawrence men.”

Sometimes, believing can be seeing Chyanna Richards saw Jesus in her bathroom.

A few days ago, Richards, who lives near Houston, told a local TV news station she saw the image of Christ in a splotch of green mold on the wall above her tub. “People say, ‘Your house is blessed,’?”

Richards said.

Not that there is anything unique about what she saw.

To the contrary, the Son of God seems to pop up in some very odd places.

A woman in Port St. Lucie, Fla., saw Him in a cell phone picture of her TV screen. A woman in Clermont, Fla., saw Him in a power meter. A Tampa Bay area man saw Him in a bathroom door. In Sullivan’s Island, S.C., a woman saw Him on the back of a dead stingray.

In McLean, Va., a family saw Him in a tree in their front yard. A couple in Anderson County, S.C., saw Him on a Walmart receipt.

The reader will doubtless note that these manifestations seem to concentrate in the South — the Bible Belt.

They are not exclusive to that region but presumably, when people in relatively irreligious Philadelphia or Seattle see what appears to be a face on a banana peel, they are more apt to shrug it off.

In a world that is often angry, hateful and confused, these sightings seem to reflect a need among people of faith to be affirmed by God.”

When I was a boy in Los Angeles, people said they saw the image of a pillar of salt (Genesis 19:26) in the beveled window of a church two doors down from my house.

For days, we had news crews, traffic jams and lines of people crowding our street. I dutifully took my turn at the window, but all I saw was the sun glancing through the glass.

That doesn’t mean those people didn’t see what they said they saw. It only means that I didn’t. Sometimes, in faith as in other aspects of life, one sees what one needs to see and there is no shame in that.

“Whatever gets you through the night, it’s all right,” said John Lennon. Or as Father Ray, the conflicted priest on the short-lived TV series “Nothing Sacred” once asked: Which man is truly crazy, the one who hears thunder and thinks it the voice of God, or the one who hears the voice of God and thinks it only thunder?

In a world that is often angry, hateful and confused, these sightings seem to reflect a need among people of faith to be affirmed by God. To see Jesus in a household appliance is, perhaps, to feel singled out, seen, reassured that there is, indeed a plan, and that things will be better, by and by. This is a human need shared by the boy in Sunday school, the man on his knees facing Mecca, the mourners saying Kaddish.

People of faith seek to be affirmed by God, but might not the world be a little less angry, hateful and confused, a little less violent, if people of faith more often also sought ways in which God could be affirmed by us? If we gave the help we sought?

After all, the Quran says, “Who so saveth the life of one, it shall be as if He had saved all mankind.”

The Talmud says, “Who-

And Jesus of Nazareth said to turn the other cheek. To make peace with your brother.

To bear insults and lies with gladness. To offer your coat to the person who demands your shirt. To take care of one another. To love one another.

Chyanna Richards thinks Jesus looks like an image in the mold of her bathroom wall. Maybe He does. Or maybe He looks like a hungry child having his first meal in two days. Maybe He looks like a sick and indigent woman being cared for by tender hands.

Maybe He looks like someone passing the time of day with the old man no one ever visits.

Maybe He looks like anonymous charity and activist love.

It would be the easiest thing in the world to ridicule Richards, to make fun of all those people, concentrated in the poorest, most rural part of the country, who see Jesus in their cheese sandwiches and tire treads. But John Lennon was right and Father Ray had a good point.

Seeing is believing, but believing is also seeing.

And sometimes, there is no difference between the two.

Hoops signee hits town 26 months after committing

Zach Peters, the tall Texan who orally committed to play basketball at Kansas University two years and two months ago, has finally arrived in Lawrence to begin his college career.

“It did seem like forever to get up here. Getting here ... it’s been awesome,” said the 6-foot-9, 236-pound forward from Plano’s Prestonwood Christian Academy who chose KU over Texas, North Carolina, Kentucky and many others way back on April 21, 2010.

“Finally feeling like a Jayhawk the first day was an incredible feeling. Getting my codes to get into the gym to work out on my own ... that was surreal. Going into the locker room and seeing my name on my locker ... it’s amazing. I’m really excited about this year.”

Peters checked into his apartment at Jayhawker Towers on June 1. He actually could have sped up his arrival at KU by a year.

A good student, he needed just a couple hours of classwork last summer to graduate high school and be immediately eligible for the 2011-12 collegiate season.

In no hurry, Peters decided to remain in Plano for what turned out to be a memorable senior season, one in which he earned first-team all-state honors for a statechampionship basketball team and second-team allstate mention at receiver for a football team that reached the state semifinals.

“It was a lot of fun. I met a lot of new people last year.

I got closer with some of my friends,” said Peters, who averaged 14.7 points and 7.2 rebounds in hoops and caught 13 TD passes for more than 1,000 yards on the gridiron.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY’S ANDREA GEUBELLE SOARS TO THE PIT during the triple jump at the NCAA Outdoor on Saturday in Des Moines, Iowa. Geubelle originally was awarded the title, but on appeal her jump was ruled a foul, and she fell to third.

The 2012 Ironman 70.3 Kansas triathlon might lack the overall star power of previous years, but a former champion is set to return for another crack at the Lawrence course.

It’s time to review foul review DES MOINES, IOWA — Sometimes it takes a controversy that taints an outcome and creates a suspicion that seedy gamesmanship has been rewarded at the expense of good sportsmanship for a rule to get changed in sports.

The time has come for the NCAA to change a track and field rule and call it the Andrea Geubelle Amendment.

Watching Geubelle, the Kansas University junior, go from the happiest athlete in Drake Stadium during the final day of the NCAA

Outdoor Track and Field national championship meet Saturday to the saddest in a span of 30 minutes served as another reminder that before using technology to replace

a human being, all potential implications must be considered.

NCAA track and field rules allow up to 30 minutes after the completion of an event to file an appeal on the outcome. Southern Miss coach Kevin Stephen took advantage of the rule, and after Geubelle, who won the NCAA Indoor triple-jump championship, won the outdoor national championship, protested that she had fouled.

After reviewing the tape, a three-judge panel upheld

Ironman 70.3 Kansas on tap today

DES MOINES, IOWA — The thrill of victory, painted all over her face with an AllAmerican smile, never felt better for Kansas University junior triple jumper Andrea Geubelle than when she and everyone else in Drake Stadium thought she had won an NCAA Outdoor championship Saturday in the triple jump.

An endless stream of tears streaming down that same face made it clear that the agony of having that title taken away when an appeal by a coach from another school was upheld after completion of the event gave her a worse feeling than she ever had experienced.

As Geubelle was discussing her national title with reporters, a meet official approached her, said, “Kansas, you have to come right now,” and escorted her to the adjoining room where athletes catch their breath after competing.

It was then and there that Geubelle learned her firstplace jump was wiped out after a coach from Southern Miss filed an appeal and a three-judge panel that reviewed the video overturned the original outcome. The rules allow for an appeal to be filed up to 30 minutes after completion of the event.

Geubelle’s temporary first-place jump, measured at 46 feet, 113⁄4 inches, would have earned 10 points for KU in the team standings. She fouled twice after what she thought had been the winning jump, so her jump in the preliminary heat of 45 feet, 5 inches stood as her best and was good for third place and six points.

Bozzone will be among the approximately 1,500 triathletes competing today on the course that begins with an early-morning swim (men’s professionals start at 6:30 a.m.) in Clinton Lake and includes treks through the surrounding countryside on both bike and foot.

At Bozzone’s most recent race, he finished fifth at Ironman 70.3 St. Croix, in the U.S. Virgin Islands on May

6. Prior to that, Bozzone took sixth at the St. Anthony’s Triathlon, in St. Petersburg, Fla. Ryan Robinson, race director for Ironman 70.3 Kansas, expects the former champ will have a couple of triathletes fighting him for the 2012 title.

“We’re looking at a really good race,” Robinson said, “with Tom Lowe from Great Britain, Ben Hoffman from

the appeal and awarded the national title to runner-up Gann Demydova of Southern Miss. Geubelle was bumped to third. Here’s the problem: Had Geubelle known she had fouled, she would have been more careful not to risk fouling on her final two jumps and very well could have won the event.

Sharapova wins first French Open PARIS (AP) — Sidelined in 2008 by a right shoulder that needed surgery, putting her tennis future suddenly in doubt, Maria Sharapova decided to use the free time to study a new language, the one spoken at the only Grand Slam tournament she had yet to win. “I found a French school close to my house,� she recalled, “and I did private lessons every single day for three months.�

Sharapova cut short those classes when it was time to begin the slow, painful rehab process and get her shoulder back in shape. About 31⠄2 years later, on Saturday at Roland Garros, Sharapova put all of that hard work to good use on the most important clay court there is — and even trotted out a little French during the victory speech she often wondered if

she’d ever get a chance to deliver.

Whipping big serves with that rebuilt shoulder, putting forehands and backhands right on lines, and even moving well on the red surface she once worried made her look like a “cow on ice,�

Sharapova beat surprise finalist Sara Errani of Italy 6-3, 6-2 to win her first French Open title and become the 10th woman with a career Sharapova Grand Slam. “It’s a wonderful moment in my career,� the 25-year-old Sharapova told the crowd in French, before switching to English to add: “I’m really speechless. It’s been such a journey for me to get to this stage.�

Truly has.

So much came so easily for Sharapova at the start: Wimbledon champion at age 17; No. 1 in the rankings at 18; U.S. Open champion at 19; Australian Open champion at 20. But a shoulder operation in October 2008 made everything tougher. She didn’t play singles from August 2008 until the following May, when her ranking fell to 126th.

It took until her 10th postsurgery Grand Slam tournament for Sharapova to get back to a major final, at Wimbledon last July, but she lost. She also reached the Australian Open final this January, but lost again.

Really, though, there’s something apropos about Sharapova’s fourth career Grand Slam title — and first since her shoulder was fixed — coming in Paris, rounding out the quartet at a spot that always seemed

to present the most difficulties.

Her powerful shots lose some sting on clay, and the footing can be tricky for anyone who didn’t grow up on the rust-colored stuff.

A global celebrity with millions upon millions of dollars in endorsement deals, Sharapova put herself through the grind required to get back to the top of her sport — and to get better than ever on red clay.

She’s unbeaten in 16 matches on it this season, including titles at Stuttgart and Rome.

Errani, for her part, never paid attention to those who said a 5-foot-41⠄2 woman couldn’t possibly compete against the very best in tennis. Posing at the net before the match, the 6-foot-2 Sharapova towered over her opponent — then was head-and-shoulders above Errani when play began, too.

The Orlando Sentinel

Brad Culpepper tells the story of his second year in the league with the Minnesota Vikings when he was in a threeman wedge formation blocking on a kickoff return against the San Diego Chargers.

It was 1993, and he was running full speed — as was the San Diego linebacker whose job it was to bust the wedge. The resulting head-on collision was so violent, it bent Culpepper’s face mask into his face and knocked him out cold. He spent the night in the hospital with a concussion but was back practicing in full pads two days later and played the very next week.

Come rain, come sleet, come acute brain trauma, the NFL show must go on. “That situation was wrong in so many ways,� says Culpepper, the former defensive tackle who is now an attorney in Tampa and one of the more than 2,000 former players suing the NFL for its history of handling concussions. “... This is about (the NFL) knowing that something more should have been done, and it was not done.�

It is the contention of the former players that the NFL and its team doctors knew much more about the devastating long-term effects of concussions and brain trauma than they let on.

In their legal complaint, the players charge that the “NFL, like the sport of boxing, was aware of the health risks associated with repetitive blows producing sub-concussive and concussive results and the fact that some members of the NFL player population were at significant risk of developing long-term brain damage and cognitive decline as a result.�

The player lawsuit against the NFL is starting to sound more and more like the multibillion-dollar government lawsuit against Big Tobacco, which found that the tobacco companies lied for decades about the risks of smoking. “My grandma smoked cigarettes way back when, and she thought smoking actually cleared out your lungs,�

Culpepper says. “It’s easy in hindsight to say, ‘Are you crazy for putting smoke in your lungs?’ This is the same sort of thing. As football players, we were taught that if you didn’t see cobwebs and you didn’t see stars, well, then you didn’t hit the guy hard enough.�

Football players and smokers are a lot alike.

Smokers are addicted to tobacco.

Football players are addicted to violence.

Did the NFL do enough to protect the players from themselves?

NEW JERSEY’S ZACH PARISE, SECOND FROM LEFT, CELEBRATES with teammates after scoring a goal in the first period during Game 5 of the NHL Stanley Cup finals against the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday in Newark, N.J. The Devils won, 2-1.

Devils stay alive, force Stanley Cup Game 6 NEWARK, N.J. — Bryce Salvador scored on a deflection off a defenseman and the New Jersey Devils derailed Los Angeles’ Stanley Cup coronation for a second time, beating the Kings 2-1 in Game 5 of the finals Saturday night.

Zach Parise ended a five-game goal drought on a rare mistake by goalie Jonathan Quick, and Martin Brodeur stopped 25 shots to help the Devils end the Kings’ 10-game postseason winning streak on the road and 12-game run over the past two years, both NHL records.

Justin Williams scored for the Kings, whose once seemingly insurmountable 3-0 series lead has been cut to 3-2. Game 6 is Monday night in Los Angeles.

More importantly, the Devils have the Kings wondering what’s going for the first time in the postseason.

This marks the first time they have lost consecutive games this postseason, and the Devils are halfway up a mountain that only one other NHL team has climbed in the finals after losing the first three games.

Only the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs came back in a best-of-seven finals and won. Three years later, the Detroit Red Wings rallied from a 3-0 deficit to tie the series, but they lost Game 7 to Toronto.

The Kings haven’t played terribly in losing the last two games, but the Devils have made the plays when it counted or gotten the breaks when they needed them.

Take Salvador’s winner, his first goal in seven games. His shot from the left point was deflected right in front of Quick, hit off the chest of Kings defenseman Slava Voynov and rebounded into the net at 9:05 of the second period. It was the second time in this series that a point shot by a Devils defenseman hit off Voynov and caromed past his goaltender.

This one turned out to be a winner because Brodeur stood tall the rest of the way and had one shot hit off the goalpost and had a goal

by Jarret Stoll on a second-period power play waved off because he hit the rebound with his stick too high.

Brodeur’s biggest save might have been with 7.6 seconds to go in regulation when he stopped a slap shot by Mike Richards from the right circle.

FREE STATE HIGH FOOTBALL COACH BOB LISHER WATCHES A DRILL during camp Thursday at FSHS, the day before the Firebirds hit the road for a weekend camp at Northwest Missouri State.

Coach likes Firebirds’ looks ————

Followers of Ironman Kansas 70.3 won’t see today what has become the familiar finish in the women’s field. Three-time defending champion Chrissie Wellington won’t be back to defend her crown. In a press release from earlier this year, Wellington announced she would take a break from Ironman competitions in 2012 “to explore other opportunities.”

A native of Green Bay, Jessica Jacobs, winner of Ironman 70.3 Florida in May, could be the woman to beat in the professional ranks.

As for the hundreds of amateur triathletes competing today, Robinson

| 3B

said the most serious of them have a common goal in mind.

“They’re competing for qualification spots in the world championships,” he said.

That race is scheduled for Sept. 9 at Lake Las Vegas in Henderson, Nev. This is the fifth year Clinton State Park has hosted the Kansas race, and Robinson said the course hasn’t changed in that time. The race begins in waves from 6:30-7:34 a.m. for the different divisions of triathletes, opening with a 1.2-mile swim in Clinton Lake, followed by a 56-mile bike ride and, finally, a 13.1-mile run.

Spectators arriving after 6:30 a.m. can take 1500 Road west from K-10 and turn south onto 700 Road to find parking, which is about a half-mile from the finish line.

Lisher says FSHS football bigger, stronger, faster

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

When Free State High football coach Bob Lisher scanned the field at the Firebirds’ varsity camp this week, he noticed three common characteristics among his returning players.

They were bigger. They were stronger. And they were more comfortable on the field.

All were highly positive signs for FSHS as it prepped for its three-day weekend trip to Northwest Missouri State University, in Maryville, Mo., for a team camp.

Lisher said the experienced Firebirds played a bit faster than they did last fall.

“When you do that,” the coach said, “you’re a better football player.”

Free State’s core of returning varsity players includes six who received All-Sunflower League honors of one form or another: defensive back

and quarterback Kyle McFarland, lineman Cody Stanclift, defensive back Joe Dineen, receiver Tye Hughes and linebackers Corban Schmidt and Blake Winslow.

Joining those players in more prominent roles, Lisher said, have been running back TJ Cobbs, linemen Reid Buckingham, Tyler Sampson and Fred Wyatt, receivers Sam Hearnen and Chris Heller and linebacker Keith Loneker.

Lisher liked the quick pace his veteran players established at camp due to their familiarity with the play-calling. Monday through Thursday served as a review for the many rising seniors and juniors who played on Friday nights last season.

“It’s like our spring football,” Lisher said of the four-day on-campus camp, noting the goals were to stay healthy and improve as a team.

Dineen said there were many positive

signs at camp. Primarily, Free State’s experience showed.

“We look like we understand what we’re doing, the concepts of the plays and stuff,” Dineen said.

The idea of a bigger, stronger, more-confident bunch of Firebirds, McFarland added, is evident at all positions.

“We had kind of a small line last year, and now the players we have are a lot bigger,” McFarland said, noting Stanclift, Wyatt and others have led that group.

Lisher said Cobbs never missed a day of offseason strength or speed workouts and that was paying dividends for the senior.

Cobbs remained eager to show off his hard work at a more critical time.

“It’s good if you can lift a lot of weights,” he said, “but if you can’t perform well on the field on game night, it doesn’t really matter.”

For the underclassmen who haven’t experienced

Pirates rally past K.C. PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Pirates made the most of a few lucky bounces and well-placed grounders on Saturday night.

That’s all they need to win these days.

Neil Walker drove in the go-ahead run with a groundout during a wacky fourth inning, and Pittsburgh rallied for a 5-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals.

The Pirates have won three straight and are 11-3 since May 25, the best record in the major leagues in that span. Pittsburgh, which hasn’t had a winning season since 1992, also moved four games over .500 at 31-27.

Clint Barmes drove in Pedro Alvarez with an infield hit as the Pirates scored five times in the fourth on three singles, only one of which made it to the outfield. Barmes eventually came around to score on Walker’s bouncer, lifting Pittsburgh to a 4-3 lead.

“It wasn’t loud but balls were finding grass and spots in the infield,” Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle said. “It’s a tough inning if you’re playing defense because no balls are being barreled up.”

It was indeed a frustrating inning for Kansas City manager Ned Yost.

“They didn’t hit any balls hard and they scored five runs,” he said, shaking his head.

Jared Hughes (2-0) pitched 21⁄3 scoreless innings to get the win and Joel Hanrahan got three outs for his 17th save in 19 opportunities.

Four Pirates relievers combined to work five scoreless innings, and the Royals went 1-for-12 with runners in scoring position for the game.

“The work our guys in the bullpen did was tremendous,” Hurdle said.

“Hanrahan did the job again. Hughes was tre-

“It was unanimous in the dugout that once we got to the third time through the order to (Mazzaro) that we were going to get him,” Walker said. “He was spraying his fastball, especially to lefthanders. We didn’t exactly knock the ball around but I guess that’s how we got to him.”

Notes: Kansas City placed RHP Felipe Paulino (right groin strain) on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to Thursday, and recalled RHP Nate Adcock from Triple-A Omaha. RHP Luis Mendoza is expected to take Paulino’s spot in the rotation and start Tuesday against Milwaukee. … As part of a Negro Leagues tribute, the Royals wore replica Kansas City Monarchs uniforms and the Pirates wore Homestead Grays throwbacks.

Friday-night pressure, Cobbs said camp week showed them how hard they will have to work to get on the field. Schmidt agreed and said the veterans told their young teammates they would have to jump in as often as possible during drills if they wanted to improve.

“They just have to pay attention for the most part,” Schmidt said. “The sooner you learn the plays, the more it just comes together with repetition.”

After going 6-3 in 2011 and having so many leaders back and playing at a higher level, Lisher said the next step is building upon the team’s offseason improvements this summer and carrying those over into the fall.

“If we do,” he said, “we’ll have a chance to be a decent, competitive football team.”

Team camp for FSHS at Northwest Missouri State began Friday and will continue through today.

BELMONT STAKES

Union Rags hands Baffert Triple loss NEW YORK (AP) — Union Rags picked up right where I’ll Have Another left off, coming from behind to catch a Bob Baffert-trained horse at the finish in a Triple Crown race.

In Saturday’s Belmont Stakes, it was another photo finish decided by a neck. Just like the Preakness.

The 3-year-old bay colt barreled through a slim opening on the rail to edge Paynter, dealing Baffert, jockey Mike Smith and owner Ahmed Zayat a third loss in this year’s Triple Crown series.

“We needed every bit of the mile and a half,” winning trainer Michael Matz said.

I’ll Have Another won the Kentucky Derby and Preakness with stirring stretch drives over Baffert’s Bodemeister. But the champion stunned the racing world Friday when he was scratched from the Belmont and retired due to a tendon injury, relinquishing a shot at the first Triple Crown sweep since 1978 and only the 12th ever.

His absence opened up the race for Union Rags, who finished a troubled seventh in the Derby after a bumpy start.

JOCKEY JOHN VELAZQUEZ BATHES UNION RAGS with water after winning the Belmont Stakes on Saturday in Elmont, N.Y. cause of the Derby problems switched jockeys for the Belmont — from Julien Leparoux to John Velazquez, who picked up his second Belmont victory; he won in 2007 with filly Rags to Riches.

“I have to give it to the horse. He did it all for me.

He just worked so unbelievable, and I was just hoping he could put that work into today’s race, and

he did,” said Velazquez, who will enter racing’s Hall of Fame in August. “I was very proud of him.’”

A crowd of 85,811, cheered as Paynter and Union Rags furiously battled down the stretch, with Union Rags barely catching the front-runner in the second straight photo finish to decide a Triple Crown race this year.

“Is there a Triple Crown

M’s relish odd no-no ————

Six Seattle pitchers combine on late-night gem SEATTLE (AP) — Mariners shortstop Brendan Ryan popped his head into the clubhouse interview room and insisted his normally stoic manager enjoyed the history that just took place.

“It’s OK to smile skip, we just got a no-no,” Ryan shouted to Seattle manager Eric Wedge, bringing a smile and chuckle to Wedge’s face.

There were plenty of smiles to go around the Seattle clubhouse late Friday night, mostly because so many had a hand in the third no-hitter in Seattle’s history.

Kevin Millwood pitched six no-hit innings before leaving with a groin injury, and a of Seattle relievers continued to hold the Dodgers in check until Tom Wilhelmsen closed out a 1-0 win over Los Angeles for his third save.

Seattle’s six-pack of arms joined the Mets’ Johan Santana, the Angels’ Jered Weaver and White Sox right-hander Philip Humber on the no-hit list of 2012. It was the second no-hitter at Safeco Field this season after Humber’s perfect game against the Mariners in April — the first two in the park’s 13year history.

The 10th combined nohitter in major-league history tied the record with six pitchers used and was the first since a six-pack of Astros no-hit the New York Yankees in June 2003. Three combined nohitters happened in a twoyear span of 1990 and 1991, including then California Angels’ Mark Langston and Mike Witt combining to no-hit the Mariners 1-0 on April 11, 1990.

This time it was Seattle’s turn to add another bit of baseball lore to its history. Seattle had not thrown a no-hitter since Chris Bosio did it against the Boston Red Sox on April 22, 1993. Since that day, the Mariners had been no-hit twice, including earlier this season when Humber tossed the 21st perfect game in major league history and the Mariners were left to watch the White Sox celebrate on the Safeco Field mound.

Friday night, after Wilhelmsen got Andre Ethier to ground out to second for the final out, it was rookie catcher Jesus Montero running around with his arms in the air looking for someone to celebrate with.

“It was really fun. I was

praying at the last inning,” Montero said. “It was one of my dreams. It was amazing, an amazing feeling.”

The six pitchers tied the record for the most used in a no-hitter, and each played an important role, from Charlie Furbush quickly entering the game after Millwood left in the seventh to Brandon League finding the nasty splitter that had eluded him in recent weeks to Wilhelmsen being so oblivious that teammates had to tell him he just completed a no-hitter.

Exactly a week after Santana pitched the first no-hitter in Mets history, Millwood cruised through six innings, giving up only a walk. But after throwing his first warmup pitch for the seventh he felt a twinge in his groin and was pulled.

The Dodgers nearly got a hit when speedy Dee Gordon led off the ninth with a slow roller to shortstop. Ryan, who had just entered as a defensive replacement, charged in and fired to first, where umpire Ted Barrett called Gordon out on a bang-bang play.

Gordon and manager Don Mattingly argued.

Replays were inconclusive.

for seconds?” Baffert said.

“I really felt like I was going to win the Belmont. It was snatched away again.”

Zayat was just as bummed, calling it “a heartbreaking defeat.”

“He ran his guts out,” he said, referring to Paynter, who was making just his fourth career start. “I’m very disappointed we opened the rail for (Union Rags).”

Jockey Mike Smith took the blame.

“I’m an old veteran, you know,” he said. “They’re not supposed to get through on the fence on me, and he did. I dropped the ball. My fault.”

Union Rags was along the inside in the middle of the pack until it was time to make a move for the lead, and that’s when Velazquez guided him to the inside of the frontrunning Paynter. Turning for home, Union Rags was full of run, but needed an opening. Velazquez had no room to swing outside, so he focused on finding a hole along the rail. Suddenly, a sliver appeared when Paynter slid over just enough to let Union Rags through in the final sixteenth of a mile. And then it was a charge to the finish line.

They raced head-tohead, with both jockeys furiously whipping their horses in the shadow of the wire. Union Rags stuck a neck in front at the end and gave fans a thrilling finish that was certainly reminiscent of the sidelined I’ll Have Another.

“He jumped right in there and before I could do anything about it, it was too late to stop him,” said Smith, the 46-yearold Hall of Famer who was aboard Bodemeister

in the two earlier defeats.

“I certainly didn’t want to let the stewards decide the outcome of the race.”

The win also signaled a change of fortune for Union Rags. At the Kentucky Derby, where he was the second choice in betting, he was knocked around by Dullahan coming out of the starting gate and was trapped on the inside, leading Matz to make the jockey change.

“We always thought this horse had Triple Crown potential,” Matz said. “He had trouble in his second race and his third race. I do really think that this horse, when he has a clean trip and can show himself, is one of the best 3-yearolds in this crop. Whether he could have done something against I’ll Have Another, I don’t know, but it sure would have been fun to see.”

Union Rags, the 5-2 second choice, ran the 11⁄2 miles in 2:30.42. The colt owned by Phyllis Wyeth returned $7.50, $4.20 and $3.40. Paynter, who sat out the Derby and Preakness, paid $5.10 and $3.90.

Atigun was another 13⁄4 lengths back in third and paid $10.60 to show. He also skipped the first two legs of the Triple Crown.

“It was my dream and he made it come true,” said Wyeth.

EASTERN CONFERENCE FINALS: HEAT WIN, 4-3

Miami’s Big 3 bounce Boston SCHEDULE

By Tim Reynolds Associated Press Sports Writer

MIAMI — LeBron James finally got a Game 7 victory, on his third try.

Next up, the NBA finals — and his third try at that elusive first championship. A year after watching someone else celebrate on their home floor, the Miami Heat were the ones dancing at midcourt.

James had 31 points and 12 rebounds, Chris Bosh hit a career-best three threepointers — the last sparking the run that put it away — and the Heat won their second straight Eastern Conference title by beating the Boston Celtics 101-88 in Game 7 on Saturday night.

Miami opens the title series in Oklahoma City on Tuesday night. The Heat got there by outscoring Boston 28-15 in the fourth quarter, with the “Big Three” of Wade, Bosh and James scoring every Miami point.

“We decided to come together and play together for a reason,” Wade said.

Wade scored 23 points, Bosh finished with 19 and Shane Battier added 12 for the Heat, who won a Game 7 for the first time since 2004 — Wade’s rookie season. Now it’s back to the finals, where Miami fell in six games to Dallas a year ago.

Rajon Rondo finished with 22 points, 14 assists and 10 rebounds for Boston, which got 19 points from Paul Pierce in what might be the last game of the “Big Four” era for the Celtics.

Boston took out its starters with 28.3 seconds left. By then, workers already had a rope around the perimeter of the court, preparing for the East trophy presentation.

“Give them credit,” Rondo said. “They spread the points out as a team tonight. Give them credit.

They played great tonight as a team and we just came up short.”

When Heat President Pat Riley was shown on the giant overhead video screen in the moments just after the final buzzer, the crowd screamed. Riley finally acknowledged them with some claps, before the 2012 Eastern Conference champions

MIAMI’S CHRIS BOSH, CENTER, MARIO CHALMERS, RIGHT, AND LEBRON JAMES congratulate each other during the second half of Game 7 of the NBA Eastern Conference finals against Boston on Saturday in Miami. The Heat defeated the Celtics, 101-88, to advance to their second straight NBA finals. logo was shown as players below the scoreboard high-fived and hugged, all wearing the new T-shirts and caps that marked the accomplishment.

The screams kept coming, first when Alonzo Mourning took the microphone — “We still got a lot of work to do,” Mourning said — and then again when he handed the trophy to Heat owner Micky Arison.

“A roller-coaster ride,” Arison said.

A roller-coaster game, too. In a roller-coaster season.

All worth it — for now, anyway. The next step awaits, another shot at the finals. In a championshipor-bust season, the Heat board a plane for Oklahoma City today.

“We have been through a lot,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said.

James and Celtics coach Doc Rivers — who teared up often postgame — shared a long embrace when it was all over. Before coming to Miami for Game 7, Rivers had packed for Oklahoma City, a trip he won’t make, set to now spend his time seeing if James can win that first title.

“I told him to go do it,” Rivers said.

Down by seven at the half and eight early in the third quarter, Miami started clawing back. An 8-0 run tied it at 59-all, capped by Wade hitting a jumper, and then the fun really started.

There were six lead changes and five more ties in the final 7 minutes of the third. Bosh scored with 29 seconds left for the last of those ties, and it was 73-all going into the fourth.

Six games decided nothing, and nothing was decided in Game 7 until the very last moments, neither team yielding much of anything. Battier’s threepointer with 8:06 left in the third cut Boston’s lead at the time to 59-57.

And back and forth they went.

For the next 13 minutes, a span of 46 dizzying, unbelievable possessions, neither team led by more than two points.

That finally changed when Bosh his third threepointer with 7:17 left.

James made a runner on the next Miami trip, and suddenly the Heat had their biggest lead of the night to that point, 88-82 with 6:54 remaining.

They were on their way.

“He was big time — every shot, every defensive play, every rebound — we missed him,” James said of

Bosh. “We’re just happy to have him back at the right time. If it wasn’t for him and the rest of the guys that stepped up, we don’t win this game.”

Said Spoelstra: “Our most important player.”

James made a threepointer — it went into the books as a 30-footer, as he leaped from atop one of the Eastern Conference finals stickers on the floor — as the shot clock was expiring with just under 6 minutes left, making it 91-84.

“Backbreaker,” Rivers said.

Even mistakes were going Miami’s way, as James lost a behind-the-back dribble, only to have the ball skip right into Battier’s hands.

Bosh scored from inside the lane to end that possession. Wade scored on the next one, the lead was 95-86 with 3:23 left, Boston called time and the building was simply rocking.

James did plenty of talking on the Heat bench in that stoppage, clearly saying the word “Finish” at one point.

Thunder to host Heat in Finals

By Brian Mahoney Associated Press NBA Writer

After surviving those old Celtics, LeBron James and the Heat get the Thunder’s young guns in the NBA finals.

Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and the rest of the Western Conference champions will host Game 1 on Tuesday night when the NBA’s championship series comes to Oklahoma City for the first time.

The Thunder finally got their opponent Saturday night when the Heat finished off the Celtics with a 101-88 victory in Game 7.

James had 31 points to set up a marquee matchup with Durant, the NBA’s scoring champion whom he beat out for the league’s MVP award.

“We all know how tough it’s going to be but we’re going to fight to the end no matter what, leave it out on floor and we’ll live with the results,” Durant said.

James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh fell short in their first season together, losing in six games to Dallas last year. The Heat earned another chance by winning the final two games against the Celtics, whose older legs might have run out of steam after Boston led the decisive game by seven at halftime.

Energy won’t be a problem for the Thunder, whose core of 23-yearold Durant, the league’s three-time scoring champion, Westbrook (23) and James Harden (22) was born when the Celtics’ Big Three of Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and Paul Pierce was around middle school age.

The Thunder, who moved to Oklahoma City in 2008, roll into their franchise’s first finals appearance since the Seattle SuperSonics lost to Chicago in 1996. They surged past San Antonio by winning the final four games after dropping the first two to the No. 1 seed.

The Thunder will host the first two games before the series moves to Miami for Games 3-5.

COLLEGES

LSU women, Florida men claim NCAA Outdoor titles

Outdoor CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

Moments after Geubelle learned of her fate, the KU women’s 4X400meter relay team, which had high hopes of winning a national championship, finished third in the race, only to find out later that those six points turned into zero because of a lane violation.

Despite the pair of disappointments, the Kansas women tied with Clemson for fourth place with 28 points, behind national champion LSU (68 points), runner-up Oregon (52) and Big 12 foe Texas A&M (32).

Nearly a half-hour after learning the news that devastated her, Geubelle stood on the award stand wiping away tears.

The ruling elevated Ganna Demydova (4671⁄4) of Southern Miss from second place to first and San Diego State’s Shanieka Thomas from third to second (45-93⁄4).

“If I had known it was a foul on my first jump, I would have made a lot of adjustments and probably jumped 47 feet today,” Geubelle said.

Instead, figuring she had won the event, she didn’t worry about fouling on her final two jumps and let it fly. She said her last jump, a foul, was measured at 47-111⁄2.

Kansas coach Stanley Redwine experienced mixed feelings at the end of the day, but pride won out over the others.

“Fourth place was great for us,” said Redwine of the KU women’s best-ever finish in the national outdoor meet. “We had some fouls at the end, some penalties at the end that affected the team score even more, but I can’t be more excited for our

(ticked) off, but I can’t imagine it will hurt me.”

Geubelle’s smile lights up a room, but behind it burns an intensely competitive young woman.

“I will compete until the day I die,” she said.

“Whatever it takes to get to the Games, I will do that this year. ... This isn’t my last year. I’ll come out next year, too. I would much rather be called out during introductions as the American record holder and an Olympian than as the national champion.”

Peters

“I’ve got a good mid-range game. I can shoot the ball.

I can see myself on the perimeter a lot, but also being able to go down low, a versatile small forward.

I’ve got pretty good ballhandling and passing for a big man, so ...”

He knows he has a lot of work ahead of him to claim a spot in the rotation.

“That’s up to me,” he said. “It depends how hard I work this summer and how I show up (at practice and games in preseason).”

KU coach Bill Self has high hopes for Peters.

“He’s a legit 6-9, 240 player that can really shoot the basketball. He’s big and rugged. We can play him to where he’s big enough to defend the 5 (post) or skilled enough to play in at the 4 (power forward),” Self said. “Guys that can really shoot are usually great passers. I think he will be that. He’s going to be a guy that can do a lot of things. We know he’s a big guy that can stretch it, but he likes to hit you, and certainly contact and physical play will not be an issue with him early in his career.”

Self does not care about national rankings of players.

“He didn’t play summer basketball, so his stock has fallen from the national rankings,” Self said.

“All that did was motivate this kid. Zach is a potential top-20 player in the country. I think he’ll come in and have a great impact right off the bat.”

your senior year, then you go on to college. It’s one of the things I felt I needed to do. Experiencing it was awesome — the perks of being a senior and all the experiences that come along with it.”

Peters felt comfortable making a comeback in football. He returned to the sport he retired from after his freshman year.

“I’m extremely happy I played football. It was a great experience. I had the time of my life,” said Peters, who dove to catch a game-winning touchdown pass in the back corner of the end zone with four seconds left in a victory over rival Trinity Christian.

“It’s one of those things I can look back and say, ‘Hey, I did that. I didn’t miss out on that.’ I never even got close to getting hurt. I don’t even think I got one turf burn all season.”

Not burned out at all after football season, Peters and fellow major-college recruit Julius Randle helped Prestonwood to the second state hoops title in Peters’ four-year career.

“I love football, but basketball always has been my first love and always will be. I mean, my dad played basketball,” he added of Tim Peters, who played at Eastern Illinois.

“If a basketball game is on, we watch basketball over football. Because we live in Texas, football has always been so high, it got in my blood a little bit, but basketball ... it’s always been there.”

Which brings Zach to KU. He has high goals for a freshman class that includes eight players counting red-shirts Ben McLemore and Jamari Traylor and 10 including walk-ons Evan Manning and Tyler Self.

“I like all the guys. I think there’s eight of us, a ton of freshmen,” he said of scholarship players McLemore, Traylor, Peters, Perry Ellis, Landen Lucas, Andrew White, as well as Anrio Adams and Milton Doyle, expected to come aboard when they are cleared academically.

“We are extremely underrated — actually very underrated. I think we’re going to surprise a lot of people.”

Peters enters as Rivals. com’s No. 137-rated player in the class of 2012.

“I didn’t play summer AAU my senior year and didn’t go to any camps,” Peters said of the summer of 2011 in which he prepared for his return to football. “I don’t care about rankings. They don’t say who I am as a person or who I am as a player.”

He hopes to battle for a rotation spot his freshman season.

“As far as positioning, I’ll probably be a small forward,” Peters said.

DES MOINES, IOWA (AP) — The LSU women are back on top after watching Texas A&M overtake them for the national title in each of the last three years.

The Florida men finally joined them on Saturday, ending years of frustration at the NCAA Outdoor meet.

The Gators finally took home their first outdoor national title after four second-place finishes since 2004, while the LSU women won their 15th in 31 years on Saturday in Des Moines.

The Southeastern Conference sweep snapped a three-year title run by the women and men of Texas A&M — and the Aggies join the league next fall.

The men’s team title came down to the final race, the 1,600 relay, between Florida, LSU and Texas A&M. Anchor Tony McQuay gave the Gators the lead on the backstretch and the win in 3 minutes, 0.02 seconds.

Florida finished with 50 points, followed by the Tigers (48) and Texas A&M (40).

“Unbelievable. It’s an absolute blessing. I can’t tell you how proud I am of this group of young men. We had a lot of adversity, not just this week, but throughout the year,” Florida coach Mike Holloway said.

In three thrilling minutes, Florida snapped three years of outdoor frustration.

The Gators, who’d won the last three indoor titles without matching it in outdoors, started the bell lap for the 1,600 in second behind USC and with LSU right behind them. If that would have held the Gators and Tigers would have split the national title, but McQuay put on a

“We knew what the team standings were and we came together like a family, as a team. I trusted my first, second and third to get us here. We have a young team and to have them step up really means a lot to the program,” McQuay said.

What made Florida’s title run all the more remarkable was that the Gators did it without star sprinter Jeff Demps, who skipped the NCAA meet to rest an injured hamstring.

“You think about things, the people that weren’t here, the people that didn’t want to give you a chance but our guys never bought into it. I’m extremely proud of them,” Holloway said.

Florida State’s Maurice Mitchell gave the Seminoles their sixth national champion in the men’s 200 in seven years and a brief lead. But that was Florida State’s last shot, and the Seminoles finished fourth with 38 points.

The LSU and Oregon women entered Saturday tied at 40, but the Tigers

jumped out to a big lead after Kimberlyn Duncan won the 200 meters.

LSU hung on from there, leaving Oregon as the runners-up for the fourth year in a row.

“It’s a tremendous team effort from everybody that allowed us to score a bundle of points. It took a lot of points to win this year, and I have to commend the University of Oregon.

What a great job of competing they did, trying to win here too,” LSU coach Dennis Shaver said.

The LSU women opened up a five-point edge after the opening event, as the Tigers won the 400 relay in 42.75 behind a strong anchor leg

by Duncan. That win followed a victory by the LSU men in the 400 relay, giving the Tigers the first 400 relay sweep since they also did it in 2003.

“The first thing I had in mind was just get out, get out, get out, try to break the stagger and give the stick to Semoy (Hackett) first.

We’re trying to win nationals, so one thing we had on our mind was to win, whatever it took,” LSU’s Takeia Pinckney said.

In his new novel, Lawrence resident and writer Frank Lingo (yes, that’s a pen name) reveals a little-known and even embarrassing fact from the history of American women.

His novel, set in the late 19th century, centers on women’s struggle for equality with men.

The story begins with orgasms.

“The Orgasm Rebellion,” though fictional, is based on medical history. Doctors at that time treated any mental or emotional condition in women, including normal mood swings, by inducing orgasms I enjoyed with that pe- the whole proriod’s latest technology cess of pub— an electric lishing these vibrator. stories.

“The doctors who do know the history are probably embarrassed about it.”

The novel, based on historical facts, addresses serious issues with a sometimes irreverent and even erotic touch.

“It’s not for everyone,” Lingo says. “Some readers are appalled at the sex scenes. Others find the story fun and interesting.”

“The Orgasm Rebellion” is a tale Lingo felt needed to be told, so he published it himself in November, after queries to about 50 agents came back negative.

He currently offers the e-book edition for free at Amazon.com.

Even for a professional writer, it’s hard to get fiction accepted by mainstream publishers, Lingo says.

It only took two rejections from Kansas-based publishers before local author Bart Altenbernd chose self-publishing for “Kaw Valley Boys,” a memoir about his childhood on a farm just outside of Lawrence. Altenbernd, a retired teacher and school administrator, says he waited months before the publishers he queried told him his book was not right for them.

Writers’ rebellion: Options abound to publish books

IN THIS UNDATED PHOTO FROM THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LOUISE BROOKS, a Kansas native and silent-film actress in the Roaring ’20s who helped popularize the bob haircut, is pictured.

Brooks is the subject of Lawrence author Laura Moriarty’s fourth novel, “The Chaperone.” The book, available now, was picked by USA Today as the No. 1 hot fiction book of the summer.

‘The Chaperone’ about silent-film actress who popularized bob hairstyle

By Terry Rombeck

Laura Moriarty’s smash-hit novel of the summer began with some casual browsing at a bookstore.

She was leafing through “Flapper: Moriarty A Madcap Story of Sex, Style, Celebrity and the Women Who

Made America Modern,” a book by Joshua Zeitz about prominent women of the 1920s. It featured Louise Brooks, the famous silentmovie star from Wichita whose bob haircut helped define a generation.

“I didn’t know she was from Kansas,” Moriarty re-

calls. “I read about her, and she was very wild, snappy and irreverent — all these things — from a very young age.

When I read that she was 15 when she went to New York, and that she had a chaperone, I wondered, ‘What would that have been like to chaperone her?’”

AUTHOR TALK ‘The Chaperone’ Discussion featuring Laura Moriarty When: 7 p.m. Monday, June 18 Where: Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vt.

Hence, “The Chaperone,” the Lawrence author’s fourth novel and, at least judging by prerelease buzz, the one with the highest potential.

“This one is getting a really big push,” Moriarty says of her first novel with Riverhead Books. “(The publisher) really liked it.

The book tour keeps growing. There’s a lot more on the Internet — and a lot of people are blogging and talking about it.”

Some of that buzz, which includes “The Chaperone” being picked by USA Today as the No. 1 hot fiction book of the summer, might be generated by the historical context in which the novel is set, during the Roaring ’20s and with such a notable character as Brooks — who if not recognizable by name, certainly is recognizable by photos of that bob haircut.

From Kansas to New York Brooks, born in the southeastern Kansas town of Cherryvale, grew up in Wichita. At age 15, she left Wichita for New York City for a spot at the prestigious Denishawn School of Dance in 1922. She later starred in 17 silent films and, in many ways, was an icon of her era.

Moriarty, a Kansas University social work graduate who now teaches creative writing at her alma mater, says she could identify with the chaperone’s story, feeling just as out of place in bustling New York City.

“I don’t know if I could write about a character living

Indie-publishing rebellion Authors like Lingo and Altenbernd can bypass traditional publishers because independent or “indie” publishing is easier and more economical than ever. It costs authors nothing to publish and distribute an electronic book for e-readers such as the Kindle and Nook.

One popular and free electronic publishing service and sales platform, Smashwords.com, boasts more than 70,000 authorpublished e-books on its rolls, with more coming daily. Amazon.com also offers free e-publishing and sales. Many authors place their books at both.

Amazon’s Createspace. com, and Lulu.com “print on demand” services help authors publish and sell print books without waiting for the green light from agents and publishers.

Their fees, which begin around a few hundred dollars, are generally cheaper than traditional vanity press charges, but books don’t get printed until customers ask for them.

Altenbernd considered those services for “Kaw Valley Boys,” but decided on the more expensive route. He paid Out On A Limb Publishing Company, in Tulsa, Okla., to help him prep his memoir for printing by Kansas City, Mo., printers The Covington Group.

Altenbernd paid the printer for 300 copies of the 104-page soft-cover “Kaw Valley Boys.”

The process cost more

“Louise is a Midwesterner, too, but she has more of an East Coast sensibility. She feels at home when she goes to New York.”

Cora Carlisle, the fictional name for the chaperone, is originally from New York but has more Midwestern sensibilities. This conflict in perspectives, in many ways, produces the plot for the novel.

This is Moriarty’s first stab at historical fiction. Her first three novels — “The Center of Everything,” “The Rest of Her Life” and “While I’m Falling” — were met with critical and popular praise, leaving her with a large following that, when combined with the historical and pop-culture interest in her latest project, makes “The Chaperone” seem like a sure-fire hit.

“I have read the book and love it,” says Thomas Gladysz, director of the San Francisco-based Louise Brooks Society, a fan club for the actress. “I

have noticed a great deal of buzz for Moriarty’s novel among Brooks’ many fans. Moriarty paints an accurate, and not always flattering, portrait of the then-future actress, and I think she gets it right.”

Moriarty says, though she’s a sucker for History Channel documentaries, she hadn’t done much historical research before this project. She studied every aspect of Brooks’ life through books and films, and she says references to Brooks are historically accurate.

That historical backdrop gave her a framework for taking every creative license with the experiences of Cora, the chaperone.

Gladysz says not much is known about the chaperone, which leaves much to the creative mind.

‘Best-kept secret’ If “The Chaperone” hasn’t generated enough buzz of its own, the audio book version surely will generate additional interest. It is narrated by “DownMcGovern ton Abbey” star Elizabeth McGovern, who also has purchased an option for film rights to the story.

The publishing company worked closely with him on the design of “Kaw Valley Boys,” including its custom cover.

The cover shows a man and small boy standing in tall grass, contemplating a rustic barn and an old tractor.

“It really sums up the book for me,” Altenbernd says. “Kaw Valley Boys” sprang from the tales he told his son over the years about his childhood on the farm.

“I enjoyed the whole process of publishing these stories,” Altenbernd says. “It’s been a labor of love as well as a learning experience.”

Altenbernd says he’s sold 60 to 70 copies since

picking them up from the printer in May. Lawrence has quite a few authors who, like Lingo and Altenbernd, have taken the plunge into self-publishing, says Heidi Raak, owner of Raven Book Store, 6 E. Seventh St. Her store carries 75 independently published titles.

“Part of our mission is to represent local and regional authors to the public, self-published authors among them,” she says.

Raak says she welcomes the freedom for authors brought by the self-publishing movement, but as a bookseller and a book reader, content remains king.

“I’ll always support Lawrence authors,” she says.

“And I’m always ecstatic to read a good book.”

E-BOOK QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS How much does publishing an e-book cost?

It depends on a lot of different things. There are different platforms with different formats, plus the optional but recommended and highly differing processes of editing, layout and cover design. Self-publishing a physical book requires buying an ISPN; e-book publishing does not. There’s promotion and other overhead costs (even for the DIYer). The blog Be A Better Writer warns the

budget can quickly inflate to several thousands of dollars.

How much can a self-published e-book expect to make?

Profit, of course, depends on costs and sales. Amazon. com offers two contract options for the publisher (in this case, also the writer) — a 70 percent royalty that includes the right for Amazon to list lower than the original list price and give 70 percent of the sale price, or a 35

percent royalty guaranteed on the publisher-declared list price. A fair chunk of the e-book market is priced at between 99 cents and about $15.

How much is the ebook market worth?

A lot. A lot more than e-book publishers will ever make. Tech industry watchdog Giga OM predicts the industry could be worth more than $5 billion by 2016, up from $2 billion in 2011.

tential for a movie based on the book.

“It would be wonderful if she got the green light to work on it,” Moriarty says.

Moriarty’s own fame — which, in some ways, has been gradual starting with “The Center of Everything” in 2003 but suddenly has reached new heights — is no surprise to Rachel Smalter Hall, adult programs librarian at the Lawrence Public Library.

“Laura is one of those ‘best-kept-secret’ kind of authors who consistently write great books that are well-received by critics and have a loyal following of readers,” she says. “Laura has taken themes that she knows and writes so well — the interior lives of women and their relationships with each other — and sets them against the smart, chic backdrop of silent-film-era glamour. (‘The Chaperone’) has such a fun, timely setting in our current popculture zeitgeist.”

Moriarty has plans for her next novel — also a historically based book — but it’s on hold because she left this week for a nationwide book tour, which includes a stop in Lawrence. Despite her emerging fame, she remains committed to her family, to Lawrence and to her students at KU. She says her teaching reminds her of her own commitment to her craft.

“Teaching often inspires me,” she says. “I talk about working creatively, and I constantly have good interactions with people who care a lot about books and writing.

“I see my students, and some people get really distracted. I recognize that in myself, and despite the craziness I keep going. That’s true about everything with writing.”

Cronkite biography explores anchor’s profound impact Frazier Moore Associated Press

NEW YORK — Walter Cronkite’s power was considerable and he used it for good. He flourished in the bargain and lived a heck of a life.

None of that will come Karen Ross, as news to the world he so paraeducator, reliably informed, but it Lawrence is carefully and colorfully “I’m looking for ‘The Eyes laid out in “Cronkite,” the of the World’ by Robert just-released biography by Jordan.”

Douglas Brinkley.

The CBS newsman emerges from its 667 pages in a form that will be fully recognizable to his viewers and admirers: as the intrepid newshound, the reassuring authority, the cultural colossus who called himself “a reluctant big shot,” upon whom was thrust the unsought mantle of “most trusted man in America” and who never Ben Burghart, betrayed that public trust. student, He also emerges as a Lawrence regular guy, lest anyone “‘Ender’s Game’ (by Orson have harbored doubts that Scott Card). I just started, he was flesh and blood. but I’m excited to read it.” He was a cheapskate (you wouldn’t count on him to grab the check in a bar) and a man who enjoyed a few rounds while he was there (while swapping a few stories and racy jokes).

But Brinkley can count Cronkite’s ethical lapses on one hand. At the 1952 Republication National Convention, he (with the support of his bosses) bugged a credentials comDanielle Lotton-Barker, mittee meeting to give CBS a competitive edge. teacher, In the early 1970s he Lawrence accepted free vacations “‘Zaatar Days, Henna from Pan Am airlines for Nights’ (by Maliha Masood).

And he lifted his sigI were going somewhere nature signoff, “That’s cool. Because I can’t the way it is,” from CBS afford to, I’ll do it with News’ legendary Edward books.”

R. Murrow, never giving him proper credit. Murrow, who hired Cronkite at CBS but with whom Cronkite never got along, ended a World War IIera dispatch by declaring “That’s the way it was,” a line that, according to the book, “stuck with” the young Cronkite. Clearly.

In the meantime, he finessed the pitfalls of the TV business for decades while Mary Lee Norris, managing the tightrope editor, of journalistic objectivity, Lawrence even as he drew upon his “‘The Holocaust’ by Leni own evolving truth. In doYahil and ‘Art Deco in ing so, he helped introduce America’ by Eva Weber. into the public consciousI’ve always had eclectic ness the U.S. space prointerests, including World gram, the civil rights moveWar II and art.” ment, environmentalism, the anti-war movement, women’s rights, even gay rights, each at a moment in time when he sensed the public was prepared to watch and listen.

“As a newsman, Cronkite had an under-appreciated instinct for what the next big thing was going to be,” says Brinkley, likening him to a forward-looking car designer or talent scout.

Chris Palmer, “Then, when he saw that lawyer, next big thing, he had the Lawrence power to implement it in “‘The Test of Wills’ by the network’s coverage.

Charles Todd. It’s a World And he moved fast: He War I-era mystery.” wanted to own that story,

so to speak. Cronkite’s personal philosophy had a huge impact on public policy.”

The first story he would “own”: space. By the 1950s, he was already CBS News’ biggest star, having anchored the conventions in 1952, and again in 1956 when he confronted NBC’s formidable new anchor team of Chet Huntley and David Brinkley (no relation to the author).

But that wasn’t all.

“He appeared with a puppet anchoring the morning show, did specials, hosted the ‘You Are There’ historical drama series,” says Brinkley. “He would do anything for face time.

“Then, in the late ’50s, he began seeing space as a dramatic narrative. He embedded with NASA and started driving the network’s space coverage almost as a booster of the space program. It helped Cronkite unify his audience: a patriotic core audience.”

Cronkite had near-perfect pitch for connecting with viewers — with almost any viewer, even a kid growing up in Perrysburg, Ohio.

“We were a Cronkite family,” says Brinkley, whose childhood drawings, influenced by exposure to the “CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite,” depicted Vietnam-era soldiers and helicopters.

“That’s just another testament to the impact Cronkite had on our institutional memory. We all think, ‘I experienced the Kennedy Assassination or Vietnam.’ But most of us saw history being made through the filter of Walter Cronkite. That’s why I thought he was an important historical figure to look at.”

TV just beginning Cronkite came by his common touch naturally. He was born in 1916 in Missouri, the son and grandson of dentists, and moved to Houston when he was 10. Fascinated by the news business, he delivered newspapers as a kid, then scored his first byline as a Houston Post intern on June 29, 1932.

He got an early glimpse of television — and a few trailblazing moments of video face time — at the 1933 Chicago World’s Fair, where you could “See Yourself on TV” at an interactive display.

He worked in newspapers, radio and at the United Press wire service through World War II (by which time he was married to Betsy, his wife of 65 years until her death in 2005).

Then in 1950 he was recruited by Murrow to join CBS News, where he soon found his way onto radio’s infant offshoot, television — an unproven, barely tested medium for news already scoffed at by seasoned broadcasting veterans, notably Murrow.

Equal doses of self-deprecating humor and anecdotal history of American sports journalism are the essence of Frank Deford’s entertaining new memoir: “Over Time: My Life as a Sportswriter,” published by Atlantic Monthly Press.

Most renowned for his epic profiles in Sports Illustrated beginning in the early 1960s, the Princeton graduate known as “The Kid” also gained notoriety as the editor of the ambitious yet financially doomed

publication called The National Sports Daily in 1990. The author of 18 books, Deford even broke new ground for sportswriters as one of the featured stars on the Lite Beer All-Star television commercials with Billy Martin and Marvelous Marv Throneberry.

Deford draws the reader with him as he eloquently describes the sports personalities he interviewed and got to know personally, including Muhammad Ali, Ted Williams, Arthur Ashe, Bob Feller, Pete Rose, Billie Jean King and many others.

Poet’s Showcase

The Color of Freedom My heart sings when I gaze upon the steadfast wave of ‘Old Glory’s’ Love.

That precious banner which is saturated by the perfumed fragrance of freedom’s incense emits a sweet aroma of National Pride.

Within my delighted soul, its colors play a chord of humble gratitude as I remember the blood and tears others have shed so I may gaze upon its majestic beauty without chains upon my hands, fetters on my tongue, or shackles on my dreams.

THIS SEPT. 30, 1971, FILE PHOTO shows TV news commentator Walter Cronkite as he testifies on freedom of the press in front of a Senate subcommittee in Washington, D.C. In “Cronkite,” a biography by Douglas Brinkley, the CBS newsman emerges as the intrepid newshound upon whom was thrust the unsought mantle of “most trusted man in America.” ing a major role in inventing TV news, and having helped write the rules, he then proved a master at playing the game. He understood that to do it well, you had to be a performer — not faking sincerity, but unerringly conveying it.

Perhaps Cronkite’s most riveting display unfolded during 45 unforgettable seconds on Nov. 22, 1963, as he announced the death of President John F. Kennedy.

In “Cronkite,” we are taken through the sequence we recall so well: how Cronkite paused after reading the note he had been handed, then, while saying what had to be said, removed his glasses, glanced up at the clock out of view on the wall, choked back his sadness, replaced then removed his glasses again, cleared his throat, and pushed on.

It was a year and a half earlier, on April 16, 1962, that Cronkite had premiered as anchor of the “CBS Evening News.” He was replacing Douglas Edwards, a ratings victim of NBC’s “Huntley-Brinkley Report.”

In late 1967, Cronkite overtook “The HuntleyBrinkley Report” in the ratings. From then on, he was the undisputed champ.

Deep influence After the 1968 Tet offensive, Cronkite had doubts about CBS’ largely unquestioning coverage of the Vietnam War. He headed to Vietnam to see for himself what was going on, and, shaken by what he witnessed, delivered a “speculative, personal” report calling for the withdrawal of American troops. “We are mired in stalemate,” he concluded.

Hearing his words, President Lyndon B. Johnson reportedly said, “If I’ve lost Cronkite, I’ve lost

middle America.”

Not long after, Cronkite privately urged Sen. Robert Kennedy, an avowed opponent of the war, to enter the presidential race. Kennedy soon did, which prompted Johnson to shock the nation by deciding not to seek another term.

Cronkite’s coverage of the space race — and fascination with the subject — led him into covering environmental issues.

“Nobody in the media was focused on it like Cronkite,” says Brinkley.

“He always had an environmental bent, but what really turned him on was seeing lonely, fragile planet Earth floating out there in the photo ‘Earthrise,’ taken from the moon.” Cronkite’s newscast aired regular segments titled “Can We Save the Planet?” and gave extensive coverage to the first Earth Day in 1970.

Cronkite’s final night anchoring the “Evening News” was March 6, 1981.

Despite a stubborn school of thought that he was ousted to make room for up-and-coming correspondent Dan Rather, Brinkley argues that Cronkite exited largely on his own terms — after having supported Rather as his successor over the other top candidate, Roger Mudd.

Walter Cronkite died on July 17, 2009, at the age of 92. He had been gone from the “Evening News” anchor chair for 28 years, during which time he stayed busy with TV projects of his own making, fundraising for environmental causes and sailing on his beloved yacht, Wyntje.

He had also become a full-throated advocate for other causes he believed in, which, by the turn of the century, included legalizing marijuana and bashing the policies of President George W. Bush.

Sportswriter’s book captures a remarkable career

bounce around a lot and I cover an awful lot of subjects. I enjoyed reliving the good days and the good people that I met. I did much more of that than I did the bad guys,” he said.

Deford is a senior contributing writer at Sports Illustrated, a weekly commentator for NPR’s “Morning Edition” and a regular correspondent on the HBO show “Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel.”

“There are far better sportswriters around now than when I first got in the profession,” he said. “I think among other things, people accept sportswrit-

ing much more generously now.

When I first got into it, a lot of people looked down on it, and I talk a little about it in the book.

I still don’t think we receive sufficient recognition.

“For example, I’ve got nothing against cartoonists, but I point out that a cartoonist receives a Pulitzer Prize every year. Well, how many cartoonists are there?

Everybody who has been a cartoonist should have a Pulitzer Prize by now,” he said with a chuckle.

“But sportswriters get one about every 15 years. And there are thousands of us.”

My spirit soars each morning with the rising of this ensign of hope-filled joy.

Its unfurled form wings a daily prayer of Thanks for the great privilege of living in a land where Liberty is our only King and Independence is our blessed Gate Keeper.

— Gerald Vaughn, Lawrence

What are the best biblical lessons about being a good father?

In living color

Learn from God’s love, actions

JOSEPH, PLAYED BY NOAH LINDQUIST, SHOWS OFF HIS AMAZING COAT while his brother Naphtali, played

by Bruce Douglas, reacts during a dress rehearsal for the Theatre Lawrence performance of “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” Thursday at Theatre Lawrence. The show opened Friday and runs through June 24. Read a review of the performance at Lawrence.com.

Film festival devoted to dads Staff Reports

The third annual Fatherhood Film Festival is set for Thursday at Liberty Hall.

The festival, which benefits Dads of Douglas County, is billed as a night of films, music and discussion. The goal of the festival is to initiate larger conversations about fatherhood through storytelling and film.

It features two films, a panel discussion on fatherhood and a performance by singer/songwriter Wes Cunningham, who stars in the film “Sironia,” which is being screened.

“The Other F Word,” a documentary about a unique challenge, kicks off the night at 5:30 p.m.

The film is about veteran punk-rock dads — the film includes Art Alexakis of Everclear, Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Mark Hoppus of Blink 182, among others — adapting their lives and wrestling with fatherhood.

A live panel discussion called “Balancing a Dream with Becoming a Dad,” featuring local musicians who are also fathers and filmmakers from the next film to be shown, will take place at 7:30 p.m.

At 8 p.m., the feature film “Sironia,” which won the Audience Award at the 2011 Austin Film Festival, will be shown.

“Sironia” stars Amy Acker (“Cabin in the Woods,” “Angel”), Tony Hale (“Arrested Development” and “Veep”), and singer/songwriter Wes Cunningham, whose music inspired the film. In fitting with the theme of musicians-turned-fathers, Cunningham plays a frustrated songwriter who gives up his music dreams to raise a family in the small town of Sironia, Texas.

Cunningham will attend the screening, and at 9:45 p.m., once the film has ended, he will perform live.

On Saturday, a short film called “Waterwalk” will screen at 7 p.m. at the Oread hotel screening room. The film is about a father and son who take a 1,000-mile canoe journey retracing the MarquetteJoliet discovery route of the Mississippi. Steven Faulkner, author of the book “Waterwalk,” will be a guest speaker.

THIS JUNE 19, 2008 FILE PHOTO SHOWS brothers Tom, right, and Ray Magliozzi, hosts of National Public Radio’s “Car Talk” show, in Cambridge, Mass. The Magliozzi brothers said Friday, June 8 they will stop making new episodes of their comic auto advice show at the end of September, 25 years after “Car Talk” began in Boston.

NPR ‘Car Talk’ duo retiring

By David Bauder Associated Press

NEW YORK — The comic mechanics on NPR’s “Car Talk” are pulling into the garage.

Brothers Tom and Ray Magliozzi said Friday they will stop making new episodes of their joke-filled auto advice show at the end of September, 25 years after “Car Talk” began in Boston.

Repurposed versions of old shows will stay on National Public Radio indefinitely, however.

The show airs every Saturday morning and is NPR’s most popular program.

“We’ve managed to avoid getting thrown off NPR for 25 years, giving tens of thousands of wrong answers and had a hell of a time every week talking to callers,” Ray Magliozzi said. “The stuff in our archives still makes us laugh. So we figured, why keep slaving over a hot microphone?”

The duo will continue

writing their “Dear Tom and Ray” column twice a week, NPR said.

With their byplay and Boston accents, “Car Talk” was as much about laughs as motor advice. On last week’s show, a caller confessed that she had broken the clutches of some exboyfriends’ cars and was now worrying that she was damaging her own.

“That might be the reason none of your relationships lasted,” she was told.

The two men proved that public radio didn’t have to be stuffy, said Doug Berman, executive producer of the show.

“Car Talk” began as a local call-in show on Boston’s BUR radio in 1977.

It’s now on 660 stations across the country, with some 3.3 million listeners a week.

“The guys are culturally right up there with Mark Twain and the Marx Brothers,” Berman said.

“They will stand the test of time. People will still be enjoying them years from

now. They’re that good.”

The staff has stored and logged some 12,500 phone calls since the show began, rating them in order of their entertainment value, Berman said. They will take the best and use them for the repurposed shows. Berman said he figured there was about eight years’ worth of strong material without the show having to repeat itself again.

“I’m the producer of all their shows and I can’t remember most of” the calls, he said.

“Car Talk” has tested out the repurposed show and is convinced they will work. There’s a strong wish among NPR stations to keep the show going even if there isn’t fresh material, he said.

Berman said he knew the retirement was a possibility; Tom is 74. That didn’t stop Ray, 63, from mocking him. “My brother has always been work-averse,” he said. “Now, apparently, even the one hour a week is killing him.”

Barry Watts, associate pastor of Lawrence Heights Christian Church, 2321 Peterson Road: The greatest lesson is love.

It is written, “For God so loved the world that He gave His One and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16). The love spoken of is unconditional, unwavering and unchanging. It is not an emotional love, but a love of choice and action. Love is part of God’s character.

So much so that 1 John 4:8 declares, “God is love.”

There is another key lesson to learn from God’s character and actions. God, as part of his love for us, is a god of discipline. Hebrews 12:611 says, “Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as sons.

For what son is not disciplined by his father? If you are not disciplined (and everyone undergoes discipline), then you are illegitimate children and not true sons.

Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the father of our spirits and live! Our

fathers disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines Watts us for our good, that we may share in his holiness. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful.

Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it. Discipline is an important instrument of God, and is a crucial part of being a good father.

There are 25 other words from Scripture describing God that should be a model for earthly fatherhood. In no particular order, they are: creator, sustainer, provider, protector, teacher, helper, discipline, sacrifice, love, patience, kindness, gentleness, goodness, self-control, grace, mercy, encouragement, listen, truthful, trustworthy, faithful, attentive, joy-giver, caring and guiding.

I love my father, and he loves me.

Send your questions about faith and spiritual issues for our religion columnists to religion@ljworld.com.

Bible tells us what love is Pieter Willems, senior pastor at Mustard Seed Church, 700 Wakarusa Drive: The best biblical lessons about being a father come from learning who God is.

God is first a father and repeatedly refers to himself as a father. Likewise he refers to us as his children. So, when we look at God, we can begin to get a picture of what it means to be a good father.

God is love (1 John 4:16).

So a father should be motivated by love when he relates to his children. 1 Corinthians 13 tells us what love looks like: “Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way.

It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice, but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses

faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.”

T h a t s h o u l d Willems keep us challenged as fathers.

God’s love also is not permissive or passive.

He wants what is best for us down the road and, as such, will discipline us for our good (Heb. 12:10).

As earthly fathers we should have a long-term view for our children’s lives. Always giving them what they want when they want it is not good fathering. We have to be able to say no and explain why we are saying no.

Discipline undergirded with love makes a good father.

family members grapple for closure, hope for peace and try to forget the tragedy, a ghost from the past brings a new perspective to the event. “Freddy” is the first play in a planned trilogy called The Grey House Trilogy by Baranski.

JACK AND KATHY WILSON STROLL THROUGH THEIR WASHINGTON CREEK LAVENDER FARM southwest of Lawrence. The Wilsons grow and dry lavender to fill sachets, reusable dryer sheets, neck comforters, eye pillows, and coasters. They also bundle dry stems for firestarter and grow some culinary lavender. The farm is certified organic.

Lavender farm making purple waves

At

Washington Creek Lavender, cresting the hill to a field of lavender stems swaying in the breeze feels more like visiting the Mediterranean than a farm in southern Douglas County. I was already of fan of this aromatic herb, but I have a new respect for lavender after visiting with farm owners Kathy and Jack Wilson.

The Wilsons grow and dry lavender to fill sachets, reusable dryer sheets, neck comforters, eye pillows, and coasters. They also bundle dry stems for firestarter and grow some culinary lavender.

The farm is certified organic.

Lavender is mostly known for its soothing scent — its ability to calm and sedate individuals is research-proven.

Although other studies regarding the herb have been somewhat limited, the University of Maryland reports that lavender could potentially be helpful for treating insomnia, alopecia (hair loss), anxiety, stress and postoperative pain.

Lavender is a good crop for northeast Kansas in the right soil — the plant flourishes in hot, dry summers and has few pest problems as long as the soil drains well. Kathy says she and Jack were not set on

growing the plant when they purchased the farm, though.

“We had the soil tested to find out what would grow best on the land, and it came back with lavender or grapes,” she says. She and Jack spent some time weighing the pros and cons before deciding to go with the aromatic herb.

They planted a “test plot” of different varieties in 2005.

They also experimented with tomatoes and basil prior to seeking advice with soil type in mind.

“We started out with some of the common varieties you can find around here, like Hidcote, Munstead and Lady,” Kathy says. She and Jack quickly learned that while these varieties were fine for the Kansas landscape, there were better lavender choices

LAVENDER DRYER SHEETS and sachets for clothes drawers are just some of the products Kathy Wilson has come up for their product. for the aromatic sachets and other products they hoped to produce.

Washington Creek Lavender now grows Grosso, Buena Vista, Royal Blue, Gros Bleu, Edelweiss (white) and Melissa (pink) varieties. The Wilsons have added plants each spring/early summer and lost a few to the weather. After their most recent planting, they have about 7,000 lavender plants on the farm.

The different varieties become ready for harvest over a several week period during the summer — Kathy was just finishing the harvest of Buena Vista lavender when I visited.

Stems are cut from the plant with scissors and bundled to be hung and dried on racks in a special drying room. Dehumidifiers help dry the lavender in humid summer weather.

“They hang for three to four weeks in the drying room, which we are going to have to expand after this year,” Jack says. The dried lavender is then used in Washington Creek Lavender’s products.

Kathy does all of the sewing of sachet bags, dryer sheets, coasters, etc., and lovingly hand paints a sprig of lavender on each one. The Wilsons joke that Jack tried his hand at painting the bags once, but the business operates better when he sticks to marketing and plowing/tilling the fields prior to planting each year.

Jack notes that he’s been counting customers at the Downtown Lawrence Farmers’ Market who have mentioned long-time use of the dryer sheets.

“We’ve had more than 60 people tell us they have been using the dryer sheets for over a year,” he says.

He has me smell a dryer sheet, squeeze it and smell it again. The scent is stronger the second time, and Jack explains that the lavender continues to release fragrance as it bounces around in the dryer. He takes none of the credit, explaining that Kathy came up with the idea.

Besides the Farmers’ Market, Washington Creek Lavender’s products are available at The Merc, Hy-Vee, Pendleton’s Country Market, Au Marché and on the farm’s website, washingtoncreeklavender.com.

If you want to see lavender growing in the landscape, you can also check out the lavender in the herb garden at the Master Gardeners’ Demonstration Gardens at the Douglas County 4-H Fairgrounds, 2110 Harper St. Kathy says the lavender grows well there because the soil drains well like it does on their farm. Lavender is probably not a good plant choice for irrigated, high-clay soils.

Bride, groom wedding-cake toppers newer than you’d think

By Terry Kovel

The bride and groom topper on a contemporary wedding cake often is made of plastic or sugar. But the traditions of wedding-cake toppers and even wedding cakes do not go back very far.

The sweets served at weddings centuries ago included barley bread, sweet rolls or pies.

Later, fruit cakes were served, and, by the 1600s, dessert cakes.

In the 19th century, white icing was expensive because of the high cost of refined sugar, so it was served only by the rich.

The modern wedding cake became fashionable in the 1880s, but the bride-and-groom topper wasn’t introduced until the 20th century.

Early figures were made of bisque, composition (like that used for dolls), chalkware or a sugar mixture called “gum paste.” The groom wore a tux or tails and a top hat.

In the 1920s, small bisque kewpie figures were dressed in crepe paper to represent the couple. The bride usually wore

In the 1940s, the war influenced topper designs and materials. Plastic toppers were introduced. The bride wore a fashionable dress with lace, and the groom was hatless but might be in tails. Soldier, sailor and other military uniforms were chosen for military weddings.

All-sugar figures returned, and a few porcelain sets were made.

Today’s toppers are plastic, sugar or even porcelain figurines by Lladro or Lenox that can be kept for life. Old toppers are inexpensive but hard to find.

Dog-bite claim goes deeper than money Dear Annie: My 54-year-old daughter, “Susan,” has been angry with me since she was a teenager. I have tried to question her about why she hates me so much, but she won’t discuss it.

She is married to a controlling man who shares her feelings and recently told the family to “go to hell.” Susan has a sweet daughter who appears to be a special needs child, although we’ve never been told what the problem is.

My husband recently died, and it devastated me. On the day of the funeral, the entire family came to my house.

Several people were bothered by our dog, so I confined him to the porch and told the children to leave the dog alone.

I was sitting in the parlor when I heard the commotion in my kitchen. My granddaughter had unlocked the door

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell anniesmailbox@comcast.net

and put her face next to the dog’s nose, and he bit her. The parents were not watching the child.

After a trip to the hospital for stitches, I was assured that she would totally heal.

Susan told me to file a claim with my insurance company because she plans to sue me. I have had many sleepless nights dealing with this and fearing I might lose my house. I’ve also lost my granddaughter because Susan and her husband will have nothing to do with the family

From classic to cultish

Call me a snob, or an unreconstructed former English major, but some books are better than others. “The Great Gatsby” will be remembered long after the “Twilight” series has been consigned to pulp. And I’d be surprised if the author of the “Twilight” books did not agree.

Few television series have as many literary aspirations as “Mad Men” (9 p.m., AMC), ending its fifth season Sunday. In contrast, few shows seem as shot through with the appeal (and limitations) of the horror genre as “True Blood” (8 p.m. Sunday, HBO), also entering its fifth season.

Like the just concluded “Game of Thrones,” ‘‘True Blood” enjoys the strong support of a fervent cult audience. But like other shows with cult appeal, it’s baffling to outsiders who haven’t followed every season and episode. As things currently stand on “True Blood,” there are legions of supernatural creatures, dead and undead, all with varying, well-defined powers that appear to be known to one another and to viewers equipped with their own secret decoder rings. I guess it’s fun for a dedicated few, but to the rest of us, it’s like a precious comedy set in an abattoir: incomprehensible and pointlessly gruesome.

You don’t need to fight off vampires and zombies to find the specter of death shocking. In the case of “Mad Men,” just one dead body will do. The suicide of central character Lane Pryce (Jared Harris) was a major departure for the series. Not that his grim predicament came as much of a surprise. Nor did his end arrive without a bit of black humor. Before hanging himself in his office, he tried to asphyxiate himself with his brand-new car, but true to form, his Britishmade Jaguar was more beautiful than reliable. The darned thing didn’t start.

Lane’s desperate act arrived only days after Don Draper (Jon Hamm) assured him that “things would get better as they always do.”

Neil Patrick Harris hosts the 66th annual Tony Awards (7 p.m. Sunday, CBS), honoring the year’s best work on the Broadway stage.

Is there a chance of saving any part of this relationship? — Hurting Mother Dear Hurting: Our condolences on the loss of your husband. We know you are still grieving, and that undoubtedly explains why you confined the dog to the porch but neglected to lock access. This, unfortunately, contributed to the accident. Even closely supervised children can get into all kinds of mischief. We are relieved that your granddaughter will heal completely, but her parents are upset and angry (with themselves as well as with you).

City to consider building purchase BOTTOM LINE City commissioners will consider purchasing a building just east of the intersection of 11th Street and Haskell Avenue to be used as a maintenance shop for the parks and recreation department.

The property, recently appraised at $600,000, is for sale for $394,250.

The 10-year-old building and property, 1050 E.

11th St., would replace a maintenance shop that was destroyed by fire in February. The purchase would be funded by proceeds from insurance on the building that was destroyed and the Sales Tax Reserve Fund, according to Mark Hecker, assistant director of parks and recreation.

Rebels battle in Assad stronghold

By Bassem Mroue and Diaa Hadid Associated Press

BEIRUT — Bullets and shrapnel shells smashed into homes in the Syrian capital of Damascus overnight as troops battled rebels in the streets, a show of boldness for rebels taking their fight against President Bashar Assad to the center of his power.

For nearly 12 hours of fighting that lasted into the early hours Saturday, rebels armed mainly with assault rifles fought Syrian forces in the heaviest fighting in the Assad stronghold since the 15-month-old uprising began. U.N. observers said rebels fired a rocket-propelled grenade at the local power plant, damaging parts of it and reducing six buses to charred shells, according to video the observers took of the scene.

Syrian forces showed the regime’s willingness to unleash such firepower in the capital: At least three tank shells slammed into residential areas in the central Damascus neighborhood of Qaboun, an activist said. Intense exchanges of assault-rifle fire marked the clash, according to residents and amateur video posted online.

AP Photo/Shaam News Network via AP video

THIS IMAGE MADE FROM AMATEUR VIDEO released

by Shaam News Network and accessed Friday purports to show explosions in the Khaldiyeh area of Homs, Syria.

At least 52 civilians were killed around the country outside Damascus on Saturday, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based activist group. Among them were 20, including nine women and children, who died in heavy, pre-dawn shelling in the southern city of Daraa, where the uprising against Assad began in March 2011. Six children were among 10 killed by a shell that exploded in a house they took cover in during fierce fighting in the coastal region of Latakia, the group said.

The group’s figures

could not be independently confirmed.

In a Daraa mosque, a father stood over his son killed in the shelling, swaddled in a blanket in a hooded sweater, amateur video showed. “I will become a suicide bomber!” the father shouted in grief.

Another video showed tens of thousands of Daraa residents burying their slain victims later Saturday — singing, dancing and parading the dead in coffins around a large square and giving the mass funeral the appearance of a mass wedding party.

The Damascus violence was a dramatic shift; the capital has been relatively

quiet compared with other Syrian cities throughout the uprising. Damascus and the northern city of Aleppo, the country’s largest, are under the firm grip of security forces.

The rebels’ brazenness in the Damascus districts underscored deep-seated Sunni anger against the regime, with residents risking their safety — and potentially their lives — to shelter the fighters.

Residents burned tires to block the advance of Syrian troops, sending plumes of smoke into the air, amateur video showed.

Urban Sunni Syrians had once mostly stayed at arms’ length from their mostly rural compatriots leading the uprising, fearing the instability that their leaderless, chaotic movement would bring.

But it appears a series of massacres of mainly Sunni peasants over the past few weeks have tipped some of their urban brethren in favor of the uprising.

One rebel supporter in Qaboun said the recent mass killings made people see rebel fighters more as protectors against Assad’s forces.

“The regime has forced the rebels into the city.

When they commit attacks, or massacres, or arrests, they come in to defend residents,” he said.

Poll: Americans balk at saving energy

By Matthew Daly Associated Press

WASHINGTON — When it comes to saving energy, people in the United States know that driving a fuel-efficient car accomplishes more than turning off the lights at home.

But that doesn’t mean they’ll do it.

A new poll shows that while most of those questioned understand effective ways to save energy, they have a hard time adopting them.

Six in 10 surveyed say driving a more fuel-efficient car would save a large amount of energy, but only 1 in 4 says that’s easy to do, according to the poll by the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. People also are skeptical of carpooling or installing better home insulation, rating them as effective but impractical.

On the other end of spectrum, 8 in 10 say they easily can turn off the lights when they leave a room, and 6 in 10 have no problem turning up the thermostat in summer or down in winter, although fewer than half think those easy steps save large amounts of energy.

Even those who support conservation don’t always practice it.

Cindy Shriner, a retired

teacher from Lafayette, Ind., buys energy-efficient light bulbs and her 2009 Subaru Impreza gets nearly 30 miles per gallon on the highway.

Still, she keeps her house at about 73 degrees year-round, despite government recommendations to turn thermostats to 68 degrees in winter and 78 degrees in summer.

“I’m terrible,” Shriner, 60, said in an interview.

“In all honesty we have extreme weather in all seasons” in Indiana, she said, and her thermostat settings keep her comfortable.

Her parents recently qualified for a grant under the economic stimulus law that paid for a new furnace and insulation, Shriner said. She said such programs are important to improve energy conservation.

The public looks to large institutions for leadership in saving energy, believing that individuals alone can’t make much of a difference.

Nearly two-thirds look to the energy industry to show the way toward energy conservation, and nearly 6 in 10 say the government should play a leading role. Democrats, college graduates and people under 50 are the most likely to hold indus-

try is responsible for increasing energy savings.

The poll, paid for by a grant to the AP-NORC Center from the Joyce Foundation, shows that just 4 in 10 questioned think their own actions can significantly affect the country’s energy problems. Some 15 percent say individual actions make “a very large difference,” while 7 percent say individual action makes no

difference at all.

On some energy topics, people are in the dark.

Only 1 in 3 reports knowing a lot or a great deal about the government’s Energy Star product labels, which are meant to help consumers choose energy-efficient appliances and other products.

Even fewer, 25 percent, report detailed knowledge about fuel-efficiency standards for cars.

BRIEFLY Bailout of Spain may cost $125B MADRID — Europe is to offer Spain a bailout package of up to $125 billion (euro 100 billion) to help rescue the country’s banks and keep the 17-country eurozone from breaking apart.

After months of fierce denials, Spain admitted it would tap the fund as it moved faster than expected to stem the economic crisis that has ravaged Europe for two years.

Spain becomes the fourth — and largest — European economy to ask for help and its admission of need comes after months of market concern about its ability to pay its way. In recent weeks investors have demanded higher and higher costs to lend to Spain, and it became clear it would be just too expensive for the country to borrow the money necessary for a bank rescue from the markets.

The three countries that have received rescues thus far — Greece, Ireland and Portugal — are fairly small, and many have worried that bailing out much-larger Spain could call the entire euro project into question.

Cyprus, also a small economy, could also be forced to seek a bailout soon.

Economy Minister Luis de Guindos said Saturday the aid will go to the banking sector only and so would not come with new austerity conditions attached for the economy in general — conditions that have been

an integral part of previous bailouts to Portugal, Ireland and Greece.

GOP groups top Dems in TV spending WASHINGTON — Independent Republican groups are heavily outspending their cross-party counterparts on television advertising in the campaigns for the White House and control of the Senate, eating into President Barack Obama’s financial advantage over Mitt Romney and prompting expressions of alarm from top congressional Democrats.

The disparity is most evident in the race for the White House, where Crossroads GPS, Restore Our Future and other organizations aligned with the Republicans spent nearly $37 million on TV ads through the first few days of June, most of it attacking Obama. That compares with about $11 million by groups supporting the president, with much of it from Priorities USA Action.

Senate campaigns also have been affected, notably in Ohio, where Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown’s commanding lead in the polls began to erode this spring after the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and others started a televised attack.

Overall, Republican-aligned organizations have spent roughly $30 million on ads in key races, compared with about $11 million for groups supporting Democrats.
