‘Town-gown’ issues not unique By George Diepenbrock

By Shaun Hittle

gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com sdhittle@ljworld.com

Growing up in Lawrence and now serving as a city commissioner, Hugh Carter often hears about issues in Lawrence’s older neighborhoods, which now are heavily populated with students near the Kansas University campus. Among complaints: Noisy late-night parties, alcohol and underage drinking, and other nuisances. But after attending a recent conference in Boulder, Colo., about “towngown” relations, he’s trying to process lots of ideas from other communities that are home to major universities and are working — or have already done lots of work — on the same issues. “The main thing is virtually none of these issues are as unique as they may feel,” Carter said. And they are often cyclical. Every year

When Eangee Inc. co-owner Chris Godfrey and his business partners wanted to expand their downtown home furnishing store into a wholesale distributor, they needed money. “We were desperate to get inventory in,” said Godfrey. But as a small business, they didn’t have the capital. That’s when Godfrey received help from an SBA 7(a) loan through the U.S. Small Business Administration. The $137,000 loan helped Eangee expand into a warehouse at 1380 N. Third St. in North Lawrence, where the company now ships specialty, eco-friendly lamps and other home goods across the country. Eangee was able to pay the loan back, and Godfrey said his business has been expanding. “Without the loan, we wouldn’t be where we are today,” he said. Since the 1960s, SBA loans have helped hundreds of Lawrence businesses start up or expand — everything from quirky downtown retailers to high-tech software companies. “I can drive down any street in Lawrence and see at least one business that wouldn’t be there without an SBA loan,” said Tim Metz, vice president of loan services at Douglas County Bank. SBA loans work like this: A business applies for a loan from a bank. If the business lacks investors or startup capital, the bank can help

The Lawrence school board is about to lose a majority of its members, their terms ending after four, eight, even 20 years of service. Heading into their final meeting — set for 7 p.m. Monday at district headquarters, 110 McDonald Drive — here are some parting thoughts from Mary Loveland, Marlene Merrill, Rich Minder and Scott Morgan.

Mary Loveland Service: 1987-2003; 2007-11 ● Biggest accomplishment: “Finally convincing Lawrence we needed a second high school,” she said of voters approving a bond to finance construction of Free State High School, which opened in 1997. “I’m not saying that I did it. It was the biggest accomplishment of the Board of Education. I was definitely on the pro-second-high-school side. “A very close second, or maybe

accomplishment: “That we have begun a process of reducing the achievement gap while Minder raising achievement for all students,” Minder said. “We’re moving toward excellence for all students, while at the same time reducing the achievement gap, particularly between students of color and white students.” ● Biggest regret: “As far as I’m concerned, the biggest regret is the Legislature didn’t follow through with its responsibility to invest in public education properly,” he said, noting that a court decision requiring increased school spending had given educators hope. “Then, when the economy goes south, we’ve been backtracking ever since. That’s a big regret.” ● Looking forward: “What I look forward to is the time when you look at all of the data, you’re not going to be able to tell there is a difference in achievement of students based on their race or any other identifier,” he said. “You won’t be able to look and see: ‘Oh, that person is African-American; that would explain why the score on their assessment is lower than white students, or students with disabilities’ or whatever. I look forward to when we get there.”

Scott Morgan Service: 1999-2003; 2007-11 ● Biggest accomplishment: “I survived,” he said. “Does that count?” Morgan lists three: “My small part” in hiring Rick Doll as superintendent; “taking money out of excess buildings” — five schools closed while he was on the board —

cern that if checked out, something the Lawrence library will not do immediately, the devices may not be returned. Getting books onto e-readers can also cause problems for libraries. Brown said she wasn’t sure whether the Lawrence library would purchase e-books for patrons to download or if e-readers would eventually come with pre-loaded content. The reception of e-books and e-readers has been mixed. Brown said many people enjoy the devices and just as many don’t. “Our job is to serve both sides,” she said. The technology toolboxes are slated for a mid-summer arrival at the library and will be available for people to sit with and read with. Apart from training and testing purposes, the future use for the e-readers has yet to be determined. The possibilities, however, are promising. “I think all it’s doing is offering another format for reading for patrons who are more technologically advanced,” said Lynn Koenig, adult services coordinator. “The print book will never go away.”

“and putting that money back into the classroom”; and approving the placement of athletic fields at Lawrence High School. Morgan “The athletics fields were something that was long overdue,” Morgan said. “There was a lot of pushback on that, but it will serve this community and kids very well for many years to come, helping to keep us in the Sunflower League. “There was serious talk among the Sunflower League of booting us. The football and soccer fields were so bad, they felt like they were putting the kids at risk. They kept asking us when we were going to do something about it, so we did something about it.” ● Biggest regret: “The only real regret I have is that I wasn’t able to finish the ‘How many schools we’re keeping’ question,” he said. “We still need to get out of that question and get on to academic achievement.” ● Looking for ward: “They’re going to have to deal with a fundamental change in how we operate because the economic reality is so different,” he said. “Public institutions are behind the curve in making the adjustments they need to make — city government, the university, certainly public schools. We don’t change, typically, because we don’t have to. New boards will have to because of the economic reality. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, but it’s just hard because they’ll really have to prioritize what they want to do.” — Schools reporter Mark Fagan can be reached at 832-7188.

Koenig also said e-readers could help make the library accessible any time of the day through online access to e-books. The 24-hour service would help keep the community facility useful and relevant in a changing society. “We’re very much an onthe-go generation,” Fann said. “There’s not a whole lot of time to curl up on the couch to read. The e-reader is a space saver.” Fann said the biggest question facing libraries with ereaders was how to make the technology work, something she said the library was hoping to have a def initive answer for shortly. And while library staff admit there will be an adjustment period and that not everyone will like the new technology, they agree the conversation is one they’re glad to see taking place. “The broader sense of it is that there are all these people who are hot and bothered about the issue,” Brown said of e-readers in libraries. “But they’re hot and bothered about reading. It’s great.”

Suicide car bomber kills 35 at clinic A suicide car bomber blasted a small clinic Saturday in eastern Afghanistan, causing the building to collapse as mostly women and children lined up for vaccinations, maternity care and other services. At least 35 people were killed in one of the deadliest attacks against civilians this year. Guards saw a sport utility vehicle charging toward the Akbarkhail Public Medical Center, a compound that provides health care for the mountainous area in the Azra district of Logar province. But before anyone could shoot the driver or blow out the tires, the SUV smashed through a wall and exploded, local officials said. Wary of being blamed for civilian casualties, the Taliban denied it was behind the bombing. Violence has been on the rise since the Islamic movement launched its spring offensive and promised retaliation for the death of al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden.

Obama pitches high-tech innovation plan President Barack Obama says technological innovations can help create jobs and spur growth in clean energy and advanced manufacturing. In his radio and Internet address, the president promoted a plan he outlined Friday in which the government would join with universities and corporations to re-ignite the manufacturing sector with an emphasis on cutting-edge research and new technologies. “Their mission is to come up with a way to get ideas from the drawing board to the manufacturing floor to the marketplace as swiftly as possible, which will help create quality jobs, and make our businesses more competitive,” Obama said in the address aired Saturday. It was taped Friday during his visit to Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, where he saw a display of mini-robots that explore water and sewer pipes. He marveled at robots that can defuse a bomb, mow a lawn, even scrape old paint.

Yoda’s short tufts of hair, protruding tongue, and long, seemingly hairless legs were enough to earn it the World’s Ugliest Dog title at a Northern California fair. The 14-year-old Chinese crested and Chihuahua mix, pictured at left, won the honor Friday night at the 23rd annual contest at the Sonoma Marin Fair. Owner Terry Schumacher of Hanford, Calif., says the 2pound dog has come a long way since she was found abandoned behind an apartment building. Schumacher says she first thought the pooch was a rat. Yoda’s distinction comes a year after a one-eyed Chihuahua named Princess Abby claimed victory. A pedigree Chinese crested won in 2008 and another Chinese crested and Chihuahua mix was the ugliest in 2007.

A project that will bring 10 electric vehicle charging stations to the Kansas City metro area is good news for a consortium in Lawrence that wants to make the use of electric vehicles feasible in northeast Kansas. On Friday, Kansas City Power and Light revealed eight locations in Kansas and Missouri where the charging stations will be placed. The $300,000 project is being partially funded with $150,000 in stimulus money funneled through the U.S. Department of Energy. The news comes just as the first electric vehicle charging station is preparing to open in Lawrence. The second charging station in the state, the Lawrence station is part of Kansas University’s Center for Design Research on West Campus, a building meant to showcase the latest in green technology. Expected to open this summer, the charging station will be free and open to the public 24 hours a day. “It is going to be a catalyst for a lot of really great things,” said Greg Thomas, the chair of the Center for Design Research. Westar Energy also has plans to put in a charging station at its service station on East 27th Street. That charging station will be available to the public and is expected to open later this summer. It’s hoped that having charging stations scattered throughout Lawrence and Kansas City will make people more confident about purchasing electric cars, Thomas said. While electric vehicles are beyond the point of being limited to a 100-mile range, having stations in Kansas City will make it easier for Lawrence electric vehicle drivers to make the trip and perhaps top off on electricity if needed. “If they do (the 10 stations) and we do our share here in Lawrence, I think that it is going to be a huge momentum or impetus for things to start happening,” Thomas said.

ON THE RECORD Dennis Smarker, clerk, Lawrence “Yes. My favorite right now is Paul Pierce.”

a new freshman class moves to Lawrence, and at some point the students may move off campus and into a neighborhood with thousands of other students living away from their parents for the first time. Now Carter is envisioning a broader partnership between KU and the community to try to tackle issues involving students. He says KU and Lawrence can look to several other cities to see proactive examples of how they’ve approached certain issues.

Other communities City Manager David Corliss said city leaders have a good relationship and frequent meetings with KU’s leaders, but the city wants to look deeper into what other comCorliss munities have done, especially on issues related to neighborhoods with a high student rental population. “There are some more advanced programs and practices than what we have right now,” said Corliss, who also attended the Boulder confer-

the business apply for an SBA loan, which is administered by the bank. The SBA offers a guarantee for the bank by agreeing to pay back 50 to 90 percent of a loan if the recipient defaults. Metz said the program “mitigates risk” for lenders and helps some businesses get loans they may not have been able to secure otherwise. But it’s a stringent process, Metz said, and the percentage of funding that is paid back shows the program is selective in the businesses it takes a bet on. Between 1965 and September 2010, Lawrence businesses have secured 540 SBA 7(a) loans. More than $50 million has been backed by the SBA guarantee, and more than 95 percent of the loans have been paid back by businesses. That compares well with standard business loans, Metz said, adding that his bank strives to keep its “pay-

LAWRENCE ence. “We want to see if we can apply them in Lawrence.” Carter said cities like Gainesville, Fla., and Syracuse, N.Y., are seeing results based on several years of work. Gainesville, home to the University of Florida, formed a major task force. Several policies resulted — not just related to helping enforce certain ordinances. Several educational efforts also came about. UF now has a director of off-campus life on staff who concentrates on working with students who live offcampus and with landlords and neighbors when they have issues. Syracuse University has an office that deals with services for off-campus and commuter students, and a liaison works with the community on neighborhood issues. “I think it’s an expectation the community has,” said Kate Hammer, the university’s community relations associate. “There are multiple programs that we have in place and that we continue to put out and work on.” During the past two years in Gainesville, the city and university have focused one day at the beginning of the school year on going door-todoor to provide information to off-campus student residents in certain neighborhoods to give them information about city code violations and other ordinances. “The university is in the city. We’re both so dependent

on each other, and our successes are shared and our failures are shared,” said Nora Kilroy, director of off-campus life at the University of Florida. “I think it’s very important for us to communicate with each other and collaborate to be proactive and supportive in the things that we’re trying to do to create a successful community.” Capt. Ed Book, an operations commander at the Gainesville Police Department, said the city has also in the last three years created new ordinances regarding underage drinking in bars and noise violations. The ordinances give warnings to first-time offenders, but they target repeat offenders with stiff penalties because most people or businesses when warned are more diligent about the problem. Book said, for example, the department only has about one-third the amount of underage drinking in bars since 2008 because bars face more severe penalties, and he hasn’t found Gainesville has had an increase in calls for house parties in neighborhoods, either. “Only the problem bars that don’t take appropriate management practices to stop underage drinking here are penalized,” he said. He said it’s important to target underage drinking because it can lead to other crimes, such as drunken driving and sexual assaults. Education through the university

calculates the statistics differently. Despite the recession, funding for SBA 7(a) loans — appropriated by Congress — is available for those who can pass lenders’ scrutiny, said Neida Heusinkvelt, assistant district director for the SBA’s Kansas City District office. Heusinkvelt said the majority of such loans go to businesses looking to expand, such as Eangee, but some go to startups, such as the downtown shoe boutique Foxtrot, 823 Mass., which opened last October. The success of SBA loans in Lawrence shows the area provides a good atmosphere for startups and expanding businesses looking to utilize SBA 7(a) loans, she said. For more information about the SBA loan program, visit sba.gov. Consulting assistance for new businesses is also available from the KU Small Business Development Center.

Of the more than 22,000 SBA 7(a) loans given statewide since 1957, less than 93 percent of the loans have been repaid, compared with the 95 percent rate locally.

also is vital. “We’re not going to arrest our way out of underage drinking,” he said.

Moving forward Corliss said the Lawrence Police Department has focused on neighborhood issues as well in recent years. The department has two neighborhood resource officers, and the city has focused on enforcing a noise ordinance and other related issues. Jane Tuttle, KU’s assistant vice provost for student success, said KU does not have a staff member that solely focuses on off-campus student life but there have been certain efforts, such as a student-led educational campaign to provide information to students in Oread neighborhood. “It’s good for the students to be well-informed, and it’s important to be a good neighbor,” she said. Carter also said he would like to get more information from Fort Collins, Colo., George Washington University in Washington D.C., Lincoln, Neb., Roanoke, Va., and Berkeley, Calif. “The results have been signif icant and measurable everywhere they’ve engaged in this,” Carter said. “And I think that’s a real positive to see.”

Tornados, floods deliver blow to state budgets By David A. Lieb Associated Press Writer

JEFFERSON CITY, MO. — The tornadoes and floods that pummeled much of the South and Midwest also have dealt a serious blow to struggling state budgets, potentially forcing new cuts to education and other services to offset hundreds of millions of dollars in disaster aid. Most state budgets were still reeling from the economy when a huge outbreak of tornadoes marched across the South in late April, followed in May by more twisters and flooding that extended into the Midwest. “The disaster could not have come at much worse of a time from a budget standpoint,” said David Perry, Alabama’s finance director. The budget lawmakers adopted included “relatively steep cuts for many state agencies, and the tornado outbreak only adds to our budget pressure going forward.” The first of the cuts have already hit home in Missouri, where students will be saddled with greater college costs, and grants for domestic violence shelters have been trimmed, among other things. Missouri and Alabama — where about 400 people were killed by twisters this year — could be forced to make a total of about $150 million in cuts because of the violent weather. Georgia has tapped an emergency fund. Tennessee is relying on its reserves, too. And storm costs in Oklahoma will only add to the state’s multimillion-dollar disaster debt accumulated over several years of natural disasters. After a major catastrophe, the federal government often shells out billions of dollars to clean up debris, rebuild roads and buildings and help families left homeless get back on their feet. For most disaster costs, the federal government pays 75 percent, leaving state and local governments to cover the rest. Yet when disaster costs climb to nine or 10 digits, the

FLOODWATERS SURROUND THIS HOME May 21 in Vicksburg, Miss. The tornadoes and floods that pummeled much of the South and Midwest also have dealt a serious blow to struggling state budgets. The storms could force new cuts to education and other services to offset hundreds of millions of dollars in disaster aid. state’s comparatively small share can still present a staggering bill. In Missouri, lawmakers passed a $23 billion annual budget about the same time that the Army Corps of Engineers blew up a levee to ease flooding pressure along the Mississippi River. The resulting deluge affected an estimated 130,000 acres of fertile farmland and rural homes. A couple of weeks later, the nation’s deadliest tornado in decades tore through Joplin, killing 156 people and destroying about 8,000 homes and businesses. Missouri’s budget had set aside $1 million for disaster aid, but Gov. Jay Nixon quickly pledged $50 million for the Joplin tornado and southeast Missouri flooding, offsetting that with cuts to other government programs. The biggest chunk came from higher education, which already was slated for a 5.5 percent cut in the coming school year. Nixon deepened that cut to 7 or 8 percent, depending on the institution, and also reduced the amount of money lawmakers had budgeted for scholarships. For the University of Missouri’s four-campus system, that means its state aid for the

2011-2012 school year will be 11 percent lower than in 2001, despite an enrollment increase of 39 percent during the past decade. Eric Woods, student president of the Columbia campus, acknowledged the need for disaster assistance, but bemoaned that students now have to shoulder the burden for Missouri’s “crummy luck” with disasters. “I think when you’re making a state chose between rebuilding after several natural disasters or funding their schools, there’s something not quite right about it,” said Woods, a senior majoring in political science, history and religious studies. Among other things, Nixon also trimmed the budget for domestic violence grants by 15 percent, essentially continuing a cut from the previous year. That comes as the number of abused women and children seeking shelter the Lafayette House in Joplin has more than doubled since the May 22 tornado, said Louise Secker, the organizations’ director of community services. Missouri and Alabama hope the federal government will agree to cover a greaterthan-usual share of the cost

for rebuilding public facilities and removing debris. But that may not be enough to avoid painful budget decisions in Alabama, which has about $20 million available for disaster aid in the next fiscal year but expects this year’s tornadoes to cost the state $80 million to $120 million over the next several years, Perry said. “Obviously, we’ll have to either cut other areas to come up with enough money to pay for the state’s share, or we’ll have to come up with some new revenue sources,” Perry said. Even for a state with a budget surplus — North Dakota — disaster relief spending has been high. After several floods this year including the Souris River in Minot, which forced thousands of residents to evacuate their homes, state flood-fighting expenses are expected to exhaust a $23.5 million disaster relief fund that was supposed to last until June 2013. Because rebuilding can take years, disaster bills often go unpaid for long periods in some states. For the second straight year, budget problems led Kansas to delay a couple of million dollars’ worth of payments to electric cooperatives for storm damage.

Residents help neighbors in flooded North Dakota MINOT, N.D. (AP) — Chased from their homes by rising floodwaters and bunking with friends, clergymen Mike Johnson and Mike Pancoast did what seems to come naturally to folks around here: They hopped into a car and headed for a nearby town to help others evacuate. “There are people who need help and they need it now and we’re able to do it, so let’s go,” Johnson said Saturday before hitting the road for the North Dakota town of Velva, about 20 miles downstream from Minot, where the Souris River was nearing its peak after swamping an estimated 4,000 homes. The National Weather Service predicted the river’s crest later in the weekend would be 2 feet lower than earlier projected, welcome news in the battered community. Johnson, associate pastor of Christ Lutheran Church, was uncertain about the fate of his own apartment building, although his belongings were safely in the hands of parishioners and friends in town. Fellow Lutherans from Stanley, an hour’s drive west, took charge of his off ice equipment and files. “They just showed up on Tuesday and carted stuff off for us,” he said. Similar stories of people helping each other, often without being asked and demanding nothing in return, were a heartwarming counterpoint to the destruction from unprecedented flooding along the Souris valley in north-central North Dakota. Brought together by word of

mouth, church and civic networks, social media and random encounters, those with housing and supplies to spare gave willingly to those without. So many opened their doors that while some 11,000 people were evacuated from neighborhoods nearest the river, only a few hundred used shelters at Minot State University and the City Auditorium. “For the rest of the country, that is kind of mind boggling. But ... that’s how we are in North Dakota,” Sen. John Hoeven said. Mike Pancoast and his wife Kari, both associate pastors at First Lutheran Church, were staying with Minot State campus pastor Kari Williamson after the rising river threatened their church and adjacent brick parsonage. Like Johnson, they didn’t know how high the waters would rise, but were confident enough to move most of their clothes and other belongings to higher floors instead of removing them. Their four children were staying with her parents in Minnesota. “We’ve kept it together pretty well, although it’s not to say we’re a solid rock through this,” Mike Pancoast said, sipping coffee at the kitchen table of Williamson’s ranch-style house. “It’s one thing to go and visit somebody and stay in their house and enjoy their hospitality for a couple of days. It’s another thing to move in indef initely and wonder, have we overstayed our welcome?”

SUPREME COURT

Conservatives limit consumer, civil rights lawsuits during term By Mark Sherman

DEMONSTRATORS GATHER Tuesday outside the Supreme Court in Washington to protest the court’s Wal-Mart sex discrimination class action lawsuit decision.

Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court’s conservative majority made it harder for people to band together to sue the nation’s largest businesses in the two most farreaching rulings of the term the justices are wrapping up on Monday. The two cases putting new limits on class-action lawsuits were among more than a dozen in which the justices divided 5-4 along familiar ideological lines, with the winning side determined by the vote of Justice Anthony Kennedy. Women made up one-third of the nine-member court for the first time ever this year, but missing from the court’s docket was a case that could be called historic. Next year and 2013 could look very different, with potentially divisive and consequential cases on immigration, gay marriage and health care making their way to the high court. The makeup of the court, however, is not expected to change. Chief Justice John Roberts said the court would finish its business on Monday when the justices will announce decisions in four remaining cases, including two First Amendment disputes. In one, video game makers are leading a challenge to a California law that bars the sale or rental of violent video games to children. The case was argued nearly eight months ago, when it appeared a majority of the court was inclined to strike down the law. The other case involves a campaign finance law in Arizona that rewards candidates who accept public funds with additional cash when privately funded rivals and independent groups exceed certain spending thresholds.

Also Monday, the justices are expected to decide whether to hear several important cases next term. They include: ● whether police need a search warrant before they place a global positioning device on a car to track a suspect’s movements. ● a challenge to the constitutionality of the Federal Communications Commission regulation of indecency on television. ● suits against defense contractors over claims of abuse at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. ● yet another businessbacked challenge to classaction suits in state courts. Justice Antonin Scalia was the author of the majority opinion in both class-action cases, Wal-Mart v. Dukes and AT&T v. Concepcion. The Wal-Mart decision blocked a sex discrimination suit on behalf of up to 1.6 million female employees and made it harder to mount large-scale claims against big companies in federal court. The AT&T decision endorsed the use of provisions that are common in consumer contracts for cellphones, credit cards and other goods and services in which the customer waives the right to sue. Scalia’s opinion said those provisions were valid, even in the face of state laws that protect the availability of class actions. Civil rights, consumer

groups and plaintiffs’ lawyers like class actions because by pooling often individually modest claims into a case with a lot of money at stake, they provide a way to hold businesses accountable. Those groups say that individuals are not going to file suit, and would never find a willing lawyer, over the $30 at issue in the customer complaint that led to the AT&T decision. Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of the law school at the University of California at Irvine and a liberal critic of the court, faulted the majority for “ignoring the human consequences of its decisions.” The rulings in those cases provided new fodder for complaints that the Roberts court has a pro-business tilt. A frequent critic, Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., plans a hearing this coming week about recent decisions’ effect on individuals’ access to the courts and on corporate behavior. Perhaps the most impassioned case of the term involved the fight by the father of a dead Marine to hold accountable the protesters who picketed his son’s funeral with anti-gay and other highly charged signs. By an 8-1 vote, the court said the grieving father’s pain must yield to First Amendment protections for free speech.

Pharmacy robberies sweep U.S. By Chris Hawley Associated Press Writer

NEW YORK — A wave of pharmacy robberies is sweeping the United States as desperate addicts and ruthless dealers turn to violence to feed the nation’s growing hunger for narcotic painkillers. From Redmond, Wash., to St. Augustine, Fla., criminals are holding pharmacists at gunpoint and escaping with thousands of powerfully addictive pills that can sell for as much as $80 apiece on the street. In one of the most shocking crimes yet, a robber walked into a neighborhood drugstore Sunday on New York’s Long Island and gunned down the pharmacist, a teenage store clerk and two customers before leaving with a backpack full of pills containing hydrocodone. “It’s an epidemic,” said Michael Fox, a pharmacist on New York’s Staten Island who has been stuck up twice in the last year. “These people are depraved. They’ll kill you.” Armed robberies at pharmacies rose 81 percent between 2006 and 2010, from 380 to 686, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration says. The number of pills stolen went from 706,000 to 1.3 million. Thieves are overwhelmingly taking oxycodone painkillers like OxyContin or Roxicodone, or hydrocodonebased painkillers like Vicodin and Norco. Both narcotics are highly addictive. In New York state, the number of armed robberies rose from 2 in 2006 to 28 in 2010. In Florida, they increased nearly six-fold, from 11 to 65. California saw 61 robberies in 2010, Indiana had 45 and Tennessee had 38.

BRIEFLY Hacker group LulzSec says it’s disbanding NEW YORK — A publicityseeking hacker group that has blazed a path of mayhem on the Internet over the last two months, including attacks on law enforcement sites, said unexpectedly on Saturday it is dissolving itself. Lulz Security made its announcement through its Twitter account. It gave no reason for the disbandment, but it could be a sign of nerves in the face of law enforcement investigations. Rival hackers have also joined in the hunt, releasing information they say could point to the identities of the six-member group. One of the group’s members was interviewed by The Associated Press on Friday, and gave no indication that its work was ending. LulzSec claimed hacks on major entertainment companies, FBI partner organizations, the CIA, the U.S. Senate and a pornography website.

Planned Parenthood resumes services INDIANAPOLIS — Planned Parenthood clinics in Indiana started seeing Medicaid patients again Saturday, the day after a federal judge ruled the state couldn’t cut off the organization’s public funding for general health services just because it also provides abortions. Planned Parenthood spokeswoman Kate Shepherd said she didn’t know how many Medicaid patients had visited the group’s 28 clinics since Friday night’s federal court ruling, but the clinics usually average about 80 a day. “Saturday is one of the busier days because people don’t have to take off work, and they can get family members to watch their children,” Shepherd said. Planned Parenthood of Indiana has been without Medicaid funding since May 10, when Republican Gov. Mitch Daniels signed the law that cut off about $1.4 million and made Indiana the first state to deny the organization Medic-

No turning back for Obama after Afghan war decision By Ben Feller Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON — We’re getting out. No more presidential talk of decisions based on conditions on the ground. No benchmarks to measure. No maybes at all. Determined to pull the United States out of the war in Afghanistan, President Barack Obama deliberately left out any wiggle room in declaring that a methodical withdrawal has begun. His speech to the nation on Wednesday, a Obama turning point in a fight most Americans don’t want, abandoned the caveats that commanders in chief often reserve for a war still being fought. Why? Because Obama wants Kabul and the American electorate to know there will be no turning back. This combat mission will be over by the end of 2014. After that, the United States will have forces in Afghanistan for counterterrorism missions and advisory support. Just how many is still to be negotiated with the Afghan government and perhaps the next U.S. president, whether that’s Obama or not. The White House is looking at a number in the range of 5,000 to 20,000, far fewer than the 100,000 U.S. troops there now. Several factors led Obama to settle on a fast pace for withdrawal and an unequivocal tone. Mainly, he sees a military mission accomplished, with-

out ever using those words. Yet the political context also has changed significantly. A sovereign Afghanistan has tired of the U.S. presence, the financial toll of the war has become entangled with the U.S. debt debate, and people in the U.S. long for an exit.

ANALYSIS As U.S. troops start coming home in July, with more than 30,000 pulling out by September 2012, Obama’s emphasis has narrowed. Just as he looked homeward when he ended the combat mission in Iraq, Obama is talking less about boosting the Afghan people and more about helping struggling Americans. “We won’t try to make Afghanistan a perfect place,” the president said in his speech. “We will not police its streets or patrol its mountains indefinitely. That is the responsibility of the Afghan government.” That, not surprisingly, is what an economy-focused voting public wants to hear. When President George W. Bush announced the U.S.-led invasion in October 2001 in response to the Sept. 11 attacks, he warned Americans that their patience would be tested “in the months ahead.” Turns out the combat mission is on pace to stretch 13 years and expanded under Obama, until now. Obama will go before the voters in November 2012 with more than double the amount of troops in Afghanistan than were there when he took office. Yet he will say that he is the president who acceler-

ated the end of two wars. Americans chiefly see Afghanistan as the home base of the terrorists who attacked America, and both Bush and Obama were driven to prevent that opportunity again. To regain control of the war, Obama in late 2009 ordered in more than 30,000 extra troops to Afghanistan, but always with an eye toward their withdrawal starting this July. Overruling his military commanders, Obama decided to bring back all the extra troops by about the middle of next year. He attributed his move to the diminished state of the Taliban, better training of Afghan forces, though their capability remains in doubt, and blows against al-Qaida in neighboring Pakistan. For Americans consumed with matters at home, all that talk of progress was measured in one moment, when U.S. Navy SEALs killed alQaida leader Osama bin Laden in Pakistan. “We pummeled al-Qaida,” Obama told donors in New York City on Thursday, using freer language than he had in his White House address a night earlier. “We took out bin Laden.” Obama’s military advisers acknowledged they had not wanted to pull troops out nearly so fast. “The president’s decisions are more aggressive and incur more risk than I was originally prepared to accept,” said Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Some political voices still push for a slower withdrawal and warn that Afghanistan could slip back into a haven for terrorism, but they make up a lonely minority. This decision is done.

Poll: Americans divided on debt crisis By Calvin Woodward Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON — It might be time for another midnight ride by Paul Revere, this time warning “the creditors are coming.” Americans seem not to have awakened to the fastlooming debt crisis that could summon a new recession, imperil their stock market investments and shatter faith in the world’s most powerful economy. Those are among the implications, both sudden and long-lasting, expected to unfold if the U.S. defaults on debt payments for the first time in history. Facing an August deadline for raising the country’s borrowing limit or setting loose the consequences, politicians and economists are plenty alarmed. The people? Apparently not so much. They’re divided on whether to raise the limit, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll that found 41 percent opposed to the idea and 38 percent in favor. People aren’t exactly blase. A narrow majority in the poll expects an economic crisis to ensue if the U.S., maxed out on its borrowing capacity, starts missing interest payments to creditors. But even among that group, 37 percent say no dice to raising the limit. In Washington’s humid air, talk of a financial apocalypse is thick. There are warnings of “credit markets in a state of panic,” as the House Budget

“

It should be very easy to understand, but I think there are so many skewed views and time given to people screaming that it can be hard to follow.” — Robin Knight, 50-year-old teacher from Gilbert, Ariz. Committee chairman, Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., put it, causing a sudden drop-off in the country’s ability to borrow and pushing the government off a “credit cliff.” He was characterizing a report by the government’s nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office that warns of a “sudden f iscal crisis” in which investors might abandon U.S. bonds and force the government to pay steep interest rates and impose spending cuts and tax increases far more Draconian than if default were avoided. The dire warnings appear to be falling on unconvinced ears, at least so far. Call it doomsday fatigue. In recent times, Americans heard that things were going to go haywire with the turn of the millennium, and they didn’t. They were primed for post-Sept. 11 terrorist plots that did not unfold. They’ve seen Congress, a

lumbering body that gets fleet of foot at the last minute, come to the brink time after time, only to pull something out of its hat. Recently, a partial government shutdown was averted in that manner. To Robin Knight, 50-yearold teacher from Gilbert, Ariz., who’s trying to stay informed on the debt crisis, Washington’s tendency to cry wolf and stage histrionics on issues of the day isn’t helping. “It should be very easy to understand,” she said, “but I think there are so many skewed views and time given to people screaming that it can be hard to follow.” As during the lead-up to the government shutdown that didn’t happen, tortured negotiations are under way. Republican leaders are insisting on huge spending cuts as a condition for raising the debt limit. This position f inds solid support from Republicans in the poll and backing from a plurality of independents. President Barack Obama is pushing for increased tax revenue to be part of the deal, and that insistence led House Republican leader Eric Cantor of Virginia to walk out of the negotiations this past week. About half of Democrats in the poll said the debt limit should be raised regardless of whether it’s paired with a deal to cut spending.

Tax choices Lawrence residents almost certainly will see an increase in their property taxes this year, but how much?

udging from early budget discussions, it seems likely that Lawrence city commissioners will approve a property tax increase for next year. If that’s the case, at least to an extent, Lawrence residents will be getting what they asked for. Although commissioners aren’t estimating how large the increase will be, it will start with 1.7 mills approved by voters to expand the Lawrence Public Library. The library expansion question received a solid majority in voting last November, and now it’s time to pay the bill. Psychologically, it seems that, once elected officials have accepted the need to raise the mill levy, it gets a little easier to tack on some extra expenditures here and there. If you’re going to risk taxpayers’ wrath by raising the levy 1.7 mills for the library, why not look at 2 mills or even a little more to address some other city needs. There’s always a long list of spending wishes. The city is expecting an increase of $700,000 to maintain its current health insurance plan for employees. It would be nice to be able to give city employees at least modest raises. The city faces a federal mandate to update radios for police, fire, public works and the utilities department. And new Police Chief Tarik Khatib is asking for funds to hire additional police officers for the city’s force. City commissioners are unlikely to raise the mill levy enough to fill all of those needs, so they will have to pick and choose. City Manager David Corliss also presented a few possibilities to cut costs. The city could reduce spending on its street paving program, but the city already is playing catchup and shouldn’t put those projects on the back burner. Cutting funding to social service agencies in half would save the city about $280,000, but with all the state and federal cuts in public assistance for both individuals and agencies, it’s the wrong time for the city to take that course. Also on Corliss’ list was freezing vehicle purchases, delaying filling vacant police positions and closing or cutting back on hours for various city recreation facilities. Putting off vehicle purchases will catch up with the city down the road, and leaving vacant police positions will only worsen the staffing issues Khatib is raising. Compared to the amount the city has invested in its recreation facilities, the savings from reducing their hours doesn’t justify that move. Mayor Aron Cromwell already has said that he doesn’t think anyone believes there is anything on the list of proposed cuts “that makes any sense,” so the only remaining question will be how much the mill levy for next year will rise. The 1.7 mills for the library is set. Taxpayers more or less asked for that increase, but, as the sluggish economy continues, they certainly would appreciate city commissioners keeping additional increases to a minimum.

U.S. success depends on bipartisanship The most important part of last Sunday’s interview shows was the part that didn’t make much news. It was the part when the departing secretary of defense said that the tone of American political dialogue is posing a threat to the country’s security. When secretaries of defense speak of mortal dangers to the nation, they usually speak of enemies armed to the teeth, adversaries with new technologies or terrorist groups with nothing to lose but their lives. But Robert Gates is a different kind of defense secretary, and not because he is from a different party than the president he serves (Robert S. McNamara and William Cohen, both Republicans, were appointed to the Pentagon by Democrats), and not because he served two presidents of two different parties (he’s the only one to do that). Robert Gates is different because he has been in government, with some interruptions, since the Nixon-Ford years. That’s enough to unsettle both Democrats, who distrust anyone who was recruited in college to work for the CIA (he joined twice), and Republicans, who distrust anyone who has spent most of his life on the public payroll (even his latest interruption, the presidency of Texas A&M, was a public job). Even so, Gates is, along with James A. Baker III, perhaps the greatest non-presidential public servant of the postwar age. One more thing. Perhaps better than anyone alive, he knows how the world works.

Gates’ words of wisdom These days the world isn’t working all that well, and the same can be said about Washington. It’s the latter that preoccupies Gates, who is to leave office this week.

time to stand down. The times to stand are when great principles are at stake — in civil rights, for example, where there is now an American consensus, and on abortion, where there remains no American consensus. The times to stand firm are almost always moral issues, questions of right or wrong. But even in a country built on commerce there are few economic issues that are as starkly moral as slavery and abortion. There is room to compromise on most of them. Today it is not possible to serve both parties’ priorities — the Democrats’ demand that the sanctity of benefit levels be preserved, the Republicans’ demand that the programs be solvent. That is an overstatement, but both parties have been hiding behind their own overstatements for some time. There is political purity in these arguments, but not moral purity. Members of both parties know that the benefit levels and the level of taxation imposed to support those benefits have changed since Social Security was passed in 1935 and Medicare was passed in 1965. Let’s not forget that both programs were passed with bipartisan support. On the Fox television show last Sunday, Wallace asked Gates what he worried about most. Gates’ answer was simple: “A loss of bipartisanship.” Said the man who served presidents of both parties: “I think that the kind of relationships that I’ve had on the Hill show that when individuals make this effort, they can make headway. They can make progress, and at least (have) civil conversation about these issues.” Right now bipartisanship is gone. Gone — but not forgotten. — David M.

Kansas values

Safety net is a moral obligation I pay my taxes. I will not offend your intelligence by pretending to enjoy it; writing that check is about as enjoyable as a chainsaw root canal. But I don’t resent it, either. I pay my taxes because this is how we the people pay for things we deem to be in our communal interest. This is how our military is sustained. This is how our children are educated. This is how our potholes are filled. This is how our libraries are stocked. This is how our police officers are supplied. This is how we take care of us. So I pay my taxes. It is because I do, that I was appalled by the story of James Verone. He is a 59-year-old man from Gastonia, N.C. Drove a CocaCola delivery truck for 17 years until he lost his job three years ago. He got another job driving a truck, but that job went away, too. So Verone took part-time work at a convenience store, only to find himself physically unable to do it. Verone has a bad back, a problem with his left foot that causes him to limp, arthritis that swells his knuckles and carpal tunnel syndrome. He could not stand behind the register, bend to reach the low shelves, lift things to the high ones. And he had no medical insurance. Then, to make matters worse, he found a lump on his chest. Desperate, Verone considered his options. He filed for disability and early Social Security, but did not

He considered asking for charity. “The pain was beyond the tolerance that I could accept,” he told a reporter from the Gaston Gazette, upon whose story this account is based. “I kind of hit a brick wall with everything.” That’s when Verone turned to crime. On the 9th of this month, he walked into a randomly chosen bank and passed a teller a note demanding one dollar and medical attention. He never showed a weapon, stood there while she called police, waited on a couch in the lobby for them to arrive, surrendered quietly. He went to jail, where he now has shelter, food and, yes, medical care. I am not here to lionize Verone.

His stunt could have gotten someone hurt. Indeed, the teller was taken to the hospital because her blood pressure spiked. No I don’t lionize him. But I do empathize. I pay my taxes. I consider it a patriotic obligation — a sacrifice for the greater we. But that is not how it is seen by the anti-government forces who have dominated political debate in recent years. To hear them tell it, to pay taxes is to be robbed. And every federal program our taxes support is wasteful and unnecessary, except, of course, those that directly benefit the complainer himself. During the health-care debate, we kept hearing that a government-run system amounted to “socialized medicine,” as if Marx would be your triage nurse and Lenin your doctor. As if, by that definition, our government-run libraries, police forces, schools and garbage pickup were not also “socialized.” As if it’s Aetna that really has your interests at heart. If health care were “socialized,” a law-abiding working man would not have felt driven to this extreme. A great nation has a moral obligation to provide a safety net, to care for the most broken and vulnerable of its people. I pay my taxes. That’s one reason I do. — Leonard Pitts Jr., winner of the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for commentary, is a columnist for the Miami Herald.

To the editor: A letter in response to the quote provided by Rep. Scott Schwab, an Olathe Republican, in the June 21 Journal-World. Rep. Schwab: Your following statement is respectful to those who believe Kansas is a beautiful place to live: “Kansas needs to be open for business. We don’t have mountains; we don’t have oceans. If we don’t allow for people to make it easy to make a profit in Kansas, there is really no reason to come here.” Just because we don’t have mountains and oceans in Kansas doesn’t mean we should disregard environmental protections in our state. Further, your statement suggests that we should let Kansas become environmentally degraded for a profit to big business. Never mind what science shows us with respect to the benefits of clean air and water. Never mind that we have a serious water supply problem with the overuse of the Ogallala Aquifer. Never mind “traditional family and community values” (from your website) include human health protection as well as a safe and clean environment. Should those of us who value our natural environment move to the mountains or near the oceans if we want clean air and water? Rep. Virgil Peck said that if shooting feral hogs works, maybe we found a solution to our illegal immigration problem. This, and your statement, creates an unhealthy environment in Kansas. If you are serious about “representing” Kansans, you need to get to work on that business. That’s what you were elected to do. Ann Lavaty and Sean Bergin, Lawrence

‘Wizard of Oz’ sequel to premiere in Kansas KINGMAN (AP) — A film that suggests what might have happened to Dorothy after she returned from Oz will premiere next weekend in Kingman, where it was filmed. “After the Wizard” was filmed in April of 2010. Director Hugh Gross says the film includes most of the iconic characters of “The Wizard of Oz.” The Hutchinson News reported that it tells the story of a 12-year-old girl named Elizabeth who lives in an orphanage in Kingman and has adopted the persona of Dorothy. Things aren’t going well in Oz, and the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Lion travel back to Kansas to reunite with Dorothy. Gross declined to talk much about the story, but does promise a happy ending. It premieres next Saturday at the Kingman Theater.

Haskell coaches honored We’ve all been there. A thoughtful invitation arrives from an unexpected source. You’re flattered, really would like to attend, but already have a commitment for that date. You wonder how your declining it will be taken. You feel bad. Jerry Tuckwin, longtime coach, athletic director, teacher, advocate for Haskell Indian Nations University, recently found himself in that situation. His experience was different from most in that the house from which the invitation was extended doesn’t often hear the words “no thank you.” The invitation came from the White House, from President Barack Obama, via a staffer. The man on the phone early this Tuckwin month, Tuckwin related, said, “We just realized we invite champs from the NBA and WNBA, and we’ve never honored Native Homeratha American coaches.” The staffer informed that the White House wanted to honor Tuckwin, most notably a former track and field coach, and Phil Homeratha, the beloved women’s basketball coach who recently retired because he is suffering from advanced cancer. A follow-up phone call from the staffer, Tuckwin said, involved a change in the date and a conflict. That, coupled with Homeratha’s health, meant the men couldn’t make the trip. “Phil has Stage-4 cancer, and I took him into the doctor’s to see if he could make the trip,” Tuckwin said. “The doctor said, ‘No, that’s not going to happen. Can’t go.’ He’s just not capable of a trip like that at this point. It made me think if Phil can’t go, I wouldn’t want to interrupt my family trip.” Tuckwin and wife Terry, surrogate parents to so many homesick student-athletes making a transition from life on the reservation through the years, had planned to vacation in Canada with Terry’s brother. Twice in past years they had to cancel that planned trip because Jerry had a heart attack once, open-heart surgery another year. They didn’t want to disappoint him again. Tuckwin said he didn’t know whether he and Homeratha would be honored in absentia or other coaches would be recognized instead. “I feel really bad,” Tuckwin said. “I told him it was quite an honor for both of us, and we would have loved to have done it. I think he was surprised. He just said, ‘OK,’ and that was the last I heard from him.” It’s too bad the timing didn’t work for both worthy men. Oh well, it’s not as if Tuckwin hasn’t already had a memorable summer. About 25 of his former athletes gathered in Albuquerque recently for a reunion to honor their former coach. “It was great to see those guys, some who came here barely speaking English, now so articulate, so successful, just to see that growth,” said Tuckwin, who no longer works for the athletic department, but teaches casino-management classes at Haskell’s business school. Tough topping that as a source of pride for a coach, even with a trip to the White House.

FANS WATCH THE KANSAS FOOTBALL SPRING GAME from a trial version of the renovated Touchdown Club in the south end zone at Memorial Stadium.

KU renovating Touchdown Club in south end zone By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Jerry Jones and the new Cowboys Stadium in Dallas might have the most gaudy luxury viewing area in football, but Kansas University is closing in. The best part about KU’s version of the luxury deck is that fans can actually watch the game from it, unlike the overflow area at Cowboys Stadium. This season, KU’s Touchdown Club will receive a facelift that should provide one of the most unique gameday viewing opportunities in the Big 12 Conference, if not the country. Instead of just providing covered recliners and stools in the south end zone as has been the case for the past two seasons, the area below the giant, state-of-theart scoreboard at Memorial Stadium now will feature a 60-by-20foot enclosed, glass suite. A trial version of the new addition was up for the spring game in April. It featured two separate 20by-30 suites situated side-by-side

JAYHAWKS IN THE NBA

Selby lectured about maturity J-W Staff Reports

Former Kansas University combo guard Josh Selby met with Memphis Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins and several team executives before addressing the media Friday afternoon at FedExForum. According to the Memphis Commercial-Appeal, the Grizzlies’ second-round draft pick was lectured about “the need for his maturity to match his talent.” “He says he’s not cocky. Well, I beg to differ,” Grizzlies assistant general manager Kenny Williamson told the Commercial-Appeal. “All players have egos. It’s how you carry it. And maybe he carried it a little differently. But right now, after talking to him, he’s been humbled.” Noted coach Hollins: “He just has to come in and play to his talent level. If he plays to his ranking out of high school, he’ll make the team. But he obviously has to

bring it from an off-the-court perspective. He may be immature, but if he’s willing to work and grow, I’ll have no problem. We’re about professionalism and about playing hard. He doesn’t seem like a guy who doesn’t compete. That won’t be an issue.” Selby, who missed the first nine games of the 2010-11 season because of an NCAA suspension and later was slowed by a foot injury en route to averaging 7.9 points and 2.2 assists per game, told the Baltimore Sun he was “very surprised” to have been taken by Memphis at No. 49 overall. “I didn’t have any contact with them (before draft),” said Selby. As to why Selby waited so long for his name to be called, there were rumors that he had not fully recovered from the foot injury he sustained at KU and also possibly had weak knees to go with character concerns. “I don’t know what happened,

In the past, the recliner seats ran $2,650 each for a season ticket. This year, they’re down to $1,800 for the season. The cost to reserve the sport stools also has dropped, from $1,500 to $1,200. New to the area this season, thanks to the luxury suite that will sit behind and above the actual seats, is a standing-room-only option, which can be purchased at a price of $1,000 for the season. Included in all three prices are all-you-can-eat food catered by 23rd Street Brewery and Abuelos, all-you-can-drink beverages, which includes soda, water, beer and wine, private restrooms and a full-time wait staff. Floodman said most of the feedback he had received about why interest in the new seating area dipped last season was tied to the notion that it’s not a great place to watch the game from. “I think the misconception about the Touchdown Club is that because it’s in the end zone, the sight lines aren’t that good,” he Please see FOOTBALL, page 3B

Bravo! Sporting K.C. edges Whitecaps, 2-1 KANSAS CITY, KAN. (AP) — Omar Bravo scored his first goal since mid-March and also had his first Major League Soccer assist, helping Sporting Kansas City run its unbeaten streak to seven games with a 2-1 comeback victory over the Vancouver Whitecaps on Saturday night. Julio Cesar scored the winner, his first MLS goal, in the 40th

minute. Sporting (4-6-5) has won three of its last four and is 2-0-1 in its new home, the $200 million Livestrong Sporting Park. Bravo, Kansas City’s high-prof ile Mexican forward, hadn’t scored since recording two goals in Sporting’s season opener, a 3-2 victory over Chivas USA on March 19. The expansion Whitecaps (2-7-

8) are winless in eight games outside Canada. Brazilian midfielder Camilo opened the scoring for Vancouver in the 15th minute with a header from the middle of the penalty area, but Bravo tied it with a penalty kick in the 33rd after being fouled near the goal by Jay DeMerit. Seven minutes later, Bravo sent a looping header to the foot of Julio

Cesar, who slid at the edge of the 6-yard box and hooked the ball past keeper Joe Cannon for the winner. Camilo’s goal, the first scored by an opponent at Livestrong Sporting Park, broke a string of two shutouts by Sporting keeper Jimmy Nielsen but was only the second goal given up by Kansas City in its last six matches.

COMMENTARY

NBA Draft winners, losers The Record (Hackensack N.J.)

Winners Dallas Mavericks: The NBA champs turned the No. 26 pick into versatile, proven guard Rudy Fernandez in a threeteam trade with Denver and Portland. Fernandez gives one of the deepest teams in the league more depth and scoring punch. Indiana Pacers: A team that needed help now got it, as the Pacers sent the Nos. 15 and 42 picks to the Spurs for George Hill. Once seen as Tony Parker’s heir apparent, Hill is from Indiana and brings much-needed big-game experience to the Pacers. Milwaukee Bucks: In a three-team trade with Sacramento and Charlotte, they added underrated point guard Beno Udrih, Stephen Jackson and Tennessee forward Tobias Harris. Udrih and Jackson, if he plays within Scott Skiles’ system, can help. Washington Wizards: They way the draft played out with all the movement around them, general manager Ernie Grunfeld quietly had a solid night, getting athletic Czech forward Jan Vesely (No. 6) and defensive-minded Florida State power forward Chris Singleton. Utah Jazz: They bypassed point guard Brandon Knight at No. 3 for arguably the best big man in Turkish center Enes Kanter, and took Colorado shooter Alec Burks 12th. He should get open looks with the attention Utah’s big men receive. The NBA/ESPN: Somehow an event lacking big names was the most watched NBA Draft in 15 years, according to Neilsen ratings. Losers Minnesota Timberwolves: They took forward Derrick Williams second, but then acquired UCLA guard-forward Malcolm Lee and center Brad Miller. They need more proven leaders and less duplication at swingman and both forward spots. Charlotte Bobcats: They traded a productive player (Stephen Jackson) and the 19 pick to move up to No. 7 for the raw, unproven Bismack Biyombo and took back black-hole Corey Maggette. Kemba Walker, chosen ninth, may be able to help them. Toronto Raptors: They used the fifth pick on Lithuanian center Jonas Valanciunas, whom some predict could become this draft’s best player. But he won’t play in the U.S. for at least one year, so the Raptors didn’t help themselves for the immediate future. Sacramento Kings: As part of a deal for 10th pick, they were able to draft Jimmer Fredette and got John Salmons from Milwaukee, adding two more players who need the ball to an immature team that already has Tyreke Evans, Marcus Thornton and DeMarcus Cousins. The fans: The way things are looking on the labor front this might be the last big NBA event for a long time.

By Al Iannazzone

It was a busy and dizzying Thursday night as the NBA Draft included more than 12 trades and plenty of international flavor. It’s not known how the players will perform or fit with their new teams, but here’s an early look at winners and losers from this year’s NBA Draft:

SERENA WILLIAMS SERVES TO MARIA KIRILENKO during their match Saturday at the All England Lawn Tennis Championships. Williams won, 6-3, 6-2.

Serena in fine form in rout of Kirilenko WIMBLEDON, ENGLAND — Serena Williams has been known to say she isn’t satisfied with this or that aspect of her game, even after easily winning a match, say, 6-3, 6-2. So it was somehow refreshing to hear Williams actually praise herself after a victory by that very score over 26th-seeded Maria Kirilenko on Saturday at Wimbledon. Yes, only five matches since returning to the tour after nearly a full year off because of a series of health scares, Williams produced a performance worthy of the 13-time Grand Slam champion that she is. And then Williams talked the talk of someone finally ready to concede that British bookmakers might very well have been right to make her the pre-tournament favorite. Asked whether she was surprised by the odds, the seventh-seeded American smiled widely and said: “I wouldn’t bet against me.” Williams was part of a parade of past champions who breezed into the fourth round Saturday, joined by Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Maria Sharapova, who all were straight-set winners, too. Top-seeded Caroline Wozniacki, seeking her first Grand Slam title, and two-time Australian Open champion Novak Djokovic, who is now 44-1 in 2011, also moved on.

SOCCER Mexico rallies past U.S., 4-2 PASADENA, CALIF. — Pablo Barrera scored two goals and Mexico rallied to beat the United States, 4-2, in the CONCACAF Gold Cup final on Saturday night at the Rose Bowl. Andres Guardado and Giovani Dos Santos also scored for Mexico, which has won two consecutive Gold Cup titles and six overall. The victory qualifies Mexico for the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup, a preview of the 2014 World Cup. Michael Bradley and Landon Donovan scored to help the United States build a 2-0 lead. Donovan became the Gold Cup’s all-time leading scorer with 13 goals.

Wiebe Champions leader ENDICOTT, N.Y. — Mark Wiebe shot a 4under 68 in the second round of the Dick’s Sporting Goods Open to take a two-stroke lead over John Huston in a bid for his second straight Champions Tour victory. Wiebe, who won two weeks ago at Rock Barn, had an 11-under 133 total at En-Joie Golf Club. Huston had a 70.

BASEBALL Nationals to hire Davey Johnson CHICAGO — Davey Johnson is poised to take over as manager of the Washington Nationals, replacing Jim Riggleman, who abruptly resigned Thursday. General manager Mike Rizzo said Saturday that Johnson has agreed to a deal, but there are a few technical items to figure out before the team can make an official announcement today. Johnson, who has not managed in the majors since 2000, will join the team today in Chicago, fly with the Nationals to Los Angeles and take over Monday when they begin an interleague series against the Angels. The 68-year-old Johnson managed the Mets, Dodgers, Reds and Orioles over 14 seasons and compiled a 1148-888 record. His 1986 Mets team won the World Series, and Johnson’s clubs finished first or second 11 times during his 14 previous seasons managing. He hasn’t managed since 2000 when he was with the Dodgers.

ROYALS 3, CUBS 2

Getz redeems himself in win K A N S A S C I T Y , M O . ( AP ) — Chris Getz didn’t have to wait long to redeem himself. Twenty-four hours after he botched a bouncer in the ninth inning that led to an unearned run in a loss, he drove in the go-ahead run with two outs in the eighth inning, and the Royals beat the Chicago Cubs, 3-2, Saturday night, snapping a seasonhigh six game losing streak. Getz’s grounder was deflected by pitcher Jeff Samardzija (5-4) to Cubs shortstop Starlin Castro, but his throw to first was late, and Jeff Francoeur, who had walked, scored. Samardzija walked two and hit a batter and retired only one of the five batters he faced. “Last night was kind of brutal with the small debacle in the eighth,” Getz said. “Well, not small, it was huge. That’s the great thing about baseball; you come back the next day. I don’t have to wait a week. Show up the next day, and you can do something to help the team. It just so happens I came up a situation, I don’t want to say to make up for it, but certainly gives yourself a chance to win the game.” Samardzija, an All-American wide receiver at Notre Dame, tried to barehand Getz’s hopper. “I thought his hands were better,” Getz said and laughed. Samardzija wished he hadn’t touched the ball. “I just couldn’t stop myself,” he said. “I saw it coming, and I thought I had a chance at it. In hindsight, if you have a great athlete like Castro back there at short, you got to take the odds that Castro is going to make that play. If I don’t hit it, he makes that play.” Greg Holland (2-1) pitched a perfect eighth to pick up the victory. Joakim Soria struck out all three batters he faced in the ninth to log his 12th save in 17 opportunities. While Getz has only seven extra-base hits and a .261 average, he is hitting .367 with runners in scoring position. “Getz is really, really good in those situations, hitting better than .360 with runners in scoring position and finds a way to get them in,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “I’ve got a lot of trust in that situation in Getz. I knew we needed to get a run right there and get Soria in the game. I had all the confi-

Duffy struck out nine in 32⁄3 innings in his previous start at St. Louis before exiting because of a cramp in his left leg. “That was Duffy’s best game,” Yost said. “He was very efficient with his pitches. He spotted his fastball well, had great stuff. When they got the back-to-back homers, that was the only little dent they put in him. He did a great job all the way around. He was throwing more strikes, getting quicker outs. He was throwing his breaking ball for strikes and actually had a pretty good changeup.” Cubs starter Carlos Zambrano, who was facing the Royals for the first time in his career, gave up two runs on

It was Alex Gordon’s 12th assist, which leads all big-league outfielders. Gordon also singled to extend his hitting streak to 12 games, matching the secondlongest streak of his career.

EUGENE, ORE. — Kansas University sprinter Diamond Dixon added another honor to her freshman season Saturday as she was crowned the U.S. junior national champion in the 400 meters at Hayward Field. Dixon has earned an automatic spot on the U.S. junior team that will compete at the Pan American Junior Games in late July in Miramar, Fla. Dixon, who hails from El Paso, Texas, led for much of the race before separating herself from the rest of the pack down the home stretch. She crossed the finish line in 52.67, her third-fastest time of the season. “It feels great to have gone up against some of those girls and come out on top,” Dixon said. “My main focus was just to go out strong in the first 100 (meters), relax and go hard

Scott, who concluded his Jayhawk career in May, was unable to clear the bar at 5.54 meters (18 feet, 2 inches), ending his day in fifth place, his best finish ever at the national meet.

Verlander fans 14; Tigers roll The Associated Press

Interleague Tigers 6, Diamondbacks 0 DETROIT — Justin Verlander struck out a career-high 14 in his latest masterful performance, and Detroit beat Arizona on Saturday night. Verlander (10-3) allowed four hits over eight innings, and Alex Avila’s three-run homer in the fourth broke the game open. The Tigers pulled into a virtual tie with Cleveland atop the AL Central. The Diamondbacks fell a half-game behind first-place San Francisco in the NL West. Verlander walked only one batter. In the eighth inning, he reached 100 mph on the stadium scoreboard — on his 116th pitch. Arizona

Giants 1, Indians 0 SAN FRANCISCO — Tony Sipp balked home the only run with the bases loaded in the seventh inning. Sipp slightly flinched his left arm before throwing a pitch to Emmanuel Burriss, allowing Miguel Tejada to score and sending San Francisco to its fourth straight win. There also were two errors in the inning by second baseman Cord Phelps that spoiled a strong start by Justin Masterson (5-6). Matt Cain (7-4) pitched seven-plus innings of four-hit ball for San Francisco. Brian Wilson worked the ninth for his 23rd save.

Peavy (4-1) gave up a hit and struck out seven, combining with starter John Danks, Brian Bruney and closer Sergio Santos on a two-hitter. Tom Gorzelanny (2-6) matched his longest outing of the season with seven innings, allowing one run and seven hits while striking out eight.

Blue Jays 6, Cardinals 3 ST. LOUIS — Carlos Villanueva (5-1) worked six solid innings backed by Juan Rivera’s three-run homer, the only hit in a five-run third. Jaime Garcia (6-3) kept his home ERA at a minuscule 0.88 because four of the runs in Toronto’s big inning were unearned due to third baseman Daniel Descalso’s twoout throwing error. But the left-hander gave up Rivera’s sixth homer the next at-bat and walked three in the inning, including Jose Bautista intentionally to load the bases.

University Theatre takes on ‘Dirty Work’ By Sarah Aylward Special to the Journal-World

In celebration of the Kansas Sesquicentennial, Kansas University’s theater department presents a melodramatic production of “Dirty Work at the Crossroads,” or “Tempted, Tried and True.” Directed by Kansas City resident Kip Niven, the production will include sing-a-long performances during intermissions led by Niven and other production crew. An alumnus of the theater department, Niven has lived and worked in New York City and Los Angeles, but he moved to Kansas City in 1995. His theatrical work includes Broadway performances, roles in feature-length films and appearances on television shows such as “Law and Order” and “Walker, Texas Ranger.” Though his career has taken him far and wide, he has remained in contact with KU theater. “I’m one of the founding members of the professional advisory board for the depart-

This will be Niven’s fourth return to work on a production since his graduation from the program in 1968. “I’ve done three guest artist stints at KU,” Niven says. Previously, he has returned to direct productions of “The Tempest” and the musical “Hair.” The third visit he was Please see THEATER, page 8B

nother good intention foiled. With all the heat and humidity we’ve been facing this summer, I decided to pull Bailey’s old kiddie pool out of the basement and fill it up in the back yard for Tiva to enjoy. After all, when I’d taken her out on trails once before, she’d joyously found the muddiest little creek to flop her belly in when she’d wanted to cool off. So I rinsed out the blue pool, put in clean water that would be about up to her elbows and called her over. She came and stood next to it, wagging politely. I put her front feet in, and she pulled her front feet out. I put her front and back feet in. She took two steps across the pool and stepped out on the opposite side.

I opened the back door. She ran inside and plopped down by the air-conditioning vent. The pool, naturally, is back in the basement. So much for having a hardy water dog. While Tiva is fortunate enough Please see CRITTER, page 8B

I leave today on a weeklong bicycle ride with friends, and we’re carrying gear including tents, sleeping bags, clothes and plenty of Ibuprofen. I’m traveling as light as possible so I won’t run the risk of gassing out in stiff Kansas headwinds and 90-degree-plus temperatures. I didn’t pack my Canon DSLR equipment. It’s too heavy, and if I take a spill, it’s more susceptible to damage. Unfortunately, I broke my other camera, a compact point-and-shoot. Since we won’t have time to stop and draw pictures of interesting sites, I’ll use the camera on my cell phone. My iPhone 4 Please see BEHIND, page 8B

cast as an actor in a production of “Translations.” Readapted in 1965 by Bill Johnson, “Dirty Work” itself is based upon the melodrama first staged in 1890. Though adapted at a later date, Niven is quick to point out that many of the basic tenets of melodrama still exist. “This [production] is in the flavor of the old melodramas,” he says. “It is very much patterned after those melodramas where there is the hero and the villain and the heroine and sidekick, and everybody stops while people sing songs.” The story centers on four central characters, two young would-be lovers and two trickster villains who have set in motion a plan to keep the lovers apart and kill the young woman’s widow mother to gain what they deem to be a great fortune. The lovers, a young man working in a small town livery and a young woman living on a homestead with her mother, are quickly manipulated by the villain and villainess, whose plan to marry the villain and young woman and thus gain rights to her property, builds toward a dramatic scene in the third act.

But the really fun thing about smartphone cameras is the cool apps that enhance the camera’s capabilities and add some amusement. Here are a few apps I have and may put to creative use on my ride.

learned, has shot up exponentially because of land speculation. The acting style, Niven points out, “is a bizarre technique. It’s over-the-top, almost presentational.” This style is different from what the student actors have previously dealt with. “That’s been the big challenge for everybody, to get used to this new sort of acting and using rather archaic language,” he says. Shannon Buhler, a junior in the program from Shawnee, plays the heroine, Nellie Lovelace. Buhler says this approach to acting has been especially interesting for her. “It’s a style of theater and acting that is so exaggerated and different from anything I have ever been a part of,” she says. “It’s been great to work with Kip and the cast as we’ve all become accustomed to this melodramatic style.” Buhler describes her character’s transition from innocent and naive to brave and wise as admirable. “What I love about her is that no matter the hardships she suffers, she maintains her sense of optimism and continues to have hope,” she

says. With three acts, Niven knew he needed to find a way to keep the audience engaged during the two intermissions. “Because there are musical numbers in the show, I thought, why don’t we sing some of those old songs that people know that were contemporaneous with that time?” Thus during intermission Niven, along with J.T. Nagle, the stage director, and Jakob Wozniak, the musical director and pianist for the production, will lead the audience in a singalong featuring “Down by the Old Bell Stream,” “Bicycle Built for Two,” “In the Evening by the Moonlight,” “I’ve Been Working on the Railroad” and “Coming Around the Mountain.” Niven says the cast and crew have done a wonderful job thus far. “What has been most exciting is to see how willingly they’re doing something very foreign to them and they’re now mastering the technique. Everybody has made giant strides. I don’t want to jinx us, but we’re in pretty good shape. The kids have been terrific.”

to have a variety of places to beat the summer heat, many other pets are consigned to the outdoors, and they have to deal with the temperatures while wearing a fur coat. Because we’re already seeing temperatures in the high 90s, we can expect the rest of the summer won’t get much better and we need to remember that it’s up to us, as owners, to provide our friends the resources to survive it. First of all, please remember that Lawrence has a tethering ordinance. You may not chain your pets outside for an extended period of time without time off the leash. But whether or not you chain your dog outside, be absolutely sure that he or she has access to shade. Some of us may enjoy lying in the sun, marinating in sunscreen, but furry pets will overheat that way. It’s simply cruel to ask them to stay out there in the direct rays. Next, make sure your pets have access to cool, fresh water. Animals sweat only through their mouths and footpads — an extremely inefficient means of cooling down. They need to rehydrate just as we do, so they need a lot of water available to them. Green or scummy water not only fails to refresh them, but lurking bacteria could also make them sick. Keep in mind that snubnosed breeds, like boxers, pugs and bulldogs, have an especially hard time staying cool by panting. Humans have bred out the natural canine shapes of these dogs’ snouts, and with the length of the nose went what cooling efficiency it had. Athletes, you need to take

extra precautions with your dogs. You may like running or biking in this heat in your coolest shorts and tank tops, but when you take your dogs with you, they are still exercising in fur coats. In addition, their exercise takes place much closer to the pavement, which retains and releases heat at even higher temperatures than what you’re feeling yourselves. If it’s hot for you to touch the pavement barefoot, remember that you’re asking your friends to exercise barefoot on four feet. Owners of black or darkfurred animals, the weather won’t give your pets a break. Dark colors retain more heat. And if your pet has thin fur, a light-colored nose, bald ears or other furless patches, then sunscreen is a must. Both dogs and cats can sunburn, and repeated burning can lead to skin cancers in them, just as in humans. For those of you who just can’t bear to deny your pets a ride in the car, PLEASE, for heaven’s sake, only take them if you’ll be in the car with them every second. Under no circumstances should you leave the animal in the car, either in the shade or with the engine

running to keep the air conditioning going. I’ve read two stories in the past of police officers leaving their canines in patrol cars with the AC going, only to come out later to find that the cooling units had failed and the dogs had died horrible deaths. Statistics show that when temperatures outside are between 72 and 96 degrees, temperatures inside a car can rise 19 degrees in 10 minutes, 29 degrees in 20 minutes, 34 degrees in 30 minutes and 43 degrees in one hour. Cracking the windows or parking in the shade DOES NOT help. Leaving your pets in a hot car is no different than putting them in a hot oven. Summer can be fun for all of us, but only if we play fair. Don’t ask more of your pets than you could manage yourself. If you see an animal in a hot car, call the police, and let the Lawrence Humane Society (843-6835) know if you see animals in distress. Help us all make it safely through to cooler weather. — Sue Novak volunteers with the Lawrence Humane Society.

Down the Amazon Ann Patchett pens ‘Heart of Darkness’ about women — and plans to open a bookstore By Jim Higgins Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

MILWAUKEE — If it’s not hot and buggy enough for you this summer, join Ann Patchett for a trip deep into the Amazon, where the moths have wings the size of handkerchiefs. Just watch out for the malaria, the cannibals and the obsessed doctor. In “State of Wonder” (Harper, $26.99), Patchett sends Marina Singh, a fortyish pharmaceutical researcher, on that nightmarish journey, in search of the remains of a former colleague and of the truth about a possible miracle fertility drug that could make millions for her employer. Some early reviewers have likened “State of Wonder” to Joseph Conrad’s famous novel about a trip down a river into the heart of the jungle. “Everybody’s looking for a catchphrase,” Patchett said in a telephone interview. “It’s ‘Heart of Darkness’ about women.” But the author said she didn’t think about “Heart of Darkness” and her novel until she was about halfway through it. The main influence on this book, Patchett said, was Werner Herzog, particularly his films “Fitzcarraldo” and “Aguirre, the Wrath of God,” both about obsessives and both set in the unforgiving Amazon. Like a saxophonist musically quoting a mentor, a scene that Patchett set in an opera house in this book is a direct homage to a scene in “Fitzcarraldo.” Patchett made a research voyage into the Peruvian Amazon, on Gourmet magazine’s dime. She spent the first half of the journey on a boat. “I really enjoyed that. I like being on the river, seeing out, from side to side.” She had a different feeling about the time she spent in a jungle lodge: “It was very

Patchett made a research voyage into the Peruvian Amazon. She spent the first half of the journey on a boat. “I really enjoyed that. I like being on the river, seeing out, from side to side.” She had a different feeling about the time she spent in a jungle lodge: “It was very claustrophobic. The jungle just smashes you. You can’t catch your breath.” claustrophobic. The jungle just smashes you. You can’t catch your breath. “You can’t do anything on your own in the jungle. Something will kill you and eat you.” Patchett said she was glad, for the sake of the book, that she “stayed to the point where I was miserable.” Marina Singh’s misery in “State of Wonder” isn’t all caused by the jungle. Some comes from her encounter with the imperious Dr. Annick Swenson, who is pursuing the fertility drug in the Amazon and who was once Singh’s obstetrics instructor. A medical crisis in the jungle forces Singh to

confront a failure in her student past, and the way it shaped her life. “I wanted to write a book about a grown-up student who encounters a teacher later in life who made her life,” Patchett said. “I have had teachers who completely shaped who I am in hopes of pleasing them. I have had students who changed the course of their life because of something I said.” Patchett, who is happily childless by choice, calls her novel a cautionary tale about the desire for endless fertility. “Everyone seems to think you don’t have to make a

Los Angeles Times

On March 19, 1927, Ruth Snyder and her lover Henry Judd Gray murdered Ruth’s husband, Albert Edward Snyder, in his bed in Queens Village, New York. The murder plan was poorly conceived and badly carried out and in less than 24 hours the police had enough evidence to arrest Snyder and Gray. Whose plan was it? Who was the driving force in the murder? Who should get the death penalty? These questions remained for the trial that was held in the Queens County courtroom.

BEST-SELLERS

Long before the Fab Four embraced the East, there were the Fab Three — Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau and Walt Whitman. Philip Goldberg’s “American Veda: From Emerson and the Beatles to Yoga and Meditation — How Indian Spirituality Changed the West” (Harmony: 386 pp., $26) is an engaging survey of why, start-

ing with these three venerable American thinkers, the flowers of Eastern practices have thrived in Western soil. At Harvard Divinity School, Emerson had a shattering realization about Christianity. His discovery of Eastern texts “dispelled once for all the dream about Christianity being the sole revelation — for here in India, there in

China, were the same principles, the same grandeurs, the like depths.” Goldberg shows us other people who came to the same conclusion. His chapters move gently like ocean swells, easily accessible, and he applies sharp brushstrokes to capture particular viewpoints or dilemmas. “Tibetan Buddhists compare gurus to fire,” he writes of some yogis,

and talked about events in a decade known for debauchery. Prohibition, the Jazz Age, the financial surge before the Great Depression; in hindsight the frantic, desperate delusions of this period are evident. Alcohol and money (one hard to get, the other easy) made a mockery of American morality — marriage, sex, gambling in the stock market — everything seemed up for grabs. The story of the Snyder-Gray murder is irresistible for a storyteller like Ron Hansen, for whom context, period, culture is everything.

“A Wild Surge of Guilty Passion” is a gripping, entertaining novel. You can feel Hansen’s fascination with this story — and his delight at the wealth of material; the memoirs written by both murderers, the news and court reports, the testimony of lesser characters, the secondary material that flowed for years following the trial and execution of Ruth and Gray. The restraint is evident in his measured tone — this is fiction but the author still relies on the factual material — the times, dates, places.

What is most interesting to his readers, of course, is where he chooses to deviate from fact. In this, we are at his mercy, since how are we to know, really, when he takes liberties with the story, makes it his own? A truly successful novel based on historical fact would drag a reader to the same precipice of judgment, the same awe and horror that a citizen, say, of Queens Village might experience on waking to the paper on the morning of March 21 to see the headline, “Art Editor Slain,” or the headline a day later, “Wife Aids Killer.” This of course, requires an enormous amount of restraint.

Murder weapons, the background of the characters, motives are all also painstakingly researched.

Foreign film fest showcases Japanese, French greats By Eric Melin Special to the Journal-World

Lawrence residents will get a rare opportunity to see some of the major classics in foreign film on the big screen during the Footprints Summer Foreign Film Festival at the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 N.H. On two consecutive Saturdays — July 2 and July 9 — the Footprints, 1339 Mass., will screen Akira Kurosawa’s influential Japanese films “Ikiru” and “Seven Samurai,” Louis Malle’s coming-of-age comedy/drama “Murmur of the Heart,” and Marcel Carné’s French masterpiece “Children of Paradise.” The foreign film celebration is the brainchild of Footprints owner and film fanatic Mick Ranney, and this isn’t his first foray into film exhibition. “We have produced a couple silent films with small orchestras at the Arts Center theater, and one sold out and the other nearly so,” Ranney says. “I thought I would test the waters with something other than silent films, and the four films we are showing are some of my favorites and I have not been able to see them on the big screen in decades It is going to be a real treat to see them as they were supposed to be viewed.” A history major at Kansas University, Ranney took several classes in film history and often dreamed of running his own movie theater, but in his own words: “I got

Special to the Journal-World

“SEVEN SAMURAI” sidetracked when I opened a bicycle store, which evolved into my current shoe store.” Footprints has been in business for 30 years and has become a locally owned Lawrence staple, but in 2001, Ranney decided to take a giant leap of faith to make his movie theater dream a reality. After finding out it was up for sale, he underbid on the historic Stella movie theater in Council Grove, and to his surprise, the offer was

accepted. Built in 1918 by businessman T.W. Whiting and named for his daughter Stella, who was married there, the theater was a venue for live musicals and theater productions and showed daily silent movies. Although its name was eventually changed to the Ritz, it was showing movies up until 1999, and its last production was in 2000. Ranney’s idea was to restore the Stella to its former

glory, but the challenge proved to be too great. “I spent two or three years pursuing every avenue of how I could get it restored and how I could make it viable and finally realized that without substantial community involvement I could never make it work,” Ranney says. He found an eager partner in the Lawrence Arts Center, however. Last fall, a screening of Fritz Lang’s newly

restored sci-fi silent classic “Metropolis” was a great success, featuring the live accompaniment of the Alloy Orchestra. With a burgeoning KU film department and this being an arts-oriented town, Lawrence is more of a natural fit for classic films than most cities in Kansas, and some of the directors who Ranney has chosen are fairly well-known here. But there’s another reason that these movies are screening. “The f ilms I chose all speak to the issue of what it is to be human, so they are universal and not all that foreign to us. It’s just that we have to read subtitles is all,” Ranney says. “I think it just requires a willingness to try something different. As Americans, we are incredibly self-absorbed. I just think it is wonderful to get perspectives from different parts of the world.” The lineup for Saturday is all Kurosawa. The Japanese director’s 1952 “Ikiru” tells the inspirational story of a Tokyo bureaucrat who faces his death by looking for a purpose in his life, while 1954’s “Seven Samurai” is regarded as one of the most influential films ever made. Aside from serving as the template for Western movies like “The Magnificent Seven” and “Star Wars,” it was the single largest undertaking by a Japanese filmmaker at the time and has a timeless, epic quality. The two films being shown

the following week are French classics from very different decades. Malle’s 1971 film “Murmur of the Heart” caused quite a stir at the time of its original release for its frank portrayal of a teen boy’s sexuality, but it earned an Oscar nomination for Best Screenplay and is regarded as one of the finest coming-of-age movies ever made. “Children of Paradise,” voted the Best French Film Ever in a poll of 600 French critics and professionals in 1995, is a grand and beautifully shot romantic film set in the Parisian theater scene of the early to mid-19th century. Shot under difficult circumstances during World War II and released in 1945, it went on to garner great acclaim for Carné and writer Jacques Prévert, including its own Oscar nomination for Best Screenplay. Ranney hopes that the twoday festival will be a success because nothing matches the excitement of viewing movies like these the way they were intended — on a big screen with an audience. “I can't imagine watching ‘Seven Samurai’ on an iPad,” he says. “It just seems disrespectful and short-changes you on the experience.” Ranney is excited about the prospects of sponsoring more classic film festivals at the Lawrence Arts Center. He mentioned that Alfred Hitchcock and film noirs may be possible upcoming themes.

Bring sea-life elements into your home decor By Kim Cook Associated Press Writer

If you’ve ever carted home some unfortunate monstrosity from a beach vacation and rued it, take heart. That’s not the kind of beach dicor we’re talking about here. This summer, retailers are offering dicor that evokes the sand and surf, but with a sophistication that makes it work as a seasonal accent to most rooms no matter what your decorating style. Wisteria has some lovely wall art: colonial nautical charts in sea blue with white type. Fantastic in a contemporary space, the historical ambiance of the pieces would work equally well in a more traditional room. An ivory linen pillow embellished with a spiny-finned fish in navy blue strikes a chic and exotic note. And a wood and metal tree for votive holders, crafted to look like a frond of coral, would provide interest on a summer dinner table. Get creative when hunting for something interesting and seasonal; often, you’ll find it at a store you might not usually go to. PBTeen has a host of quirky yet delightful items that evoke the theme: a tabletop angel fish fashioned from driftwood bits; wire art, including jaunty starf ish hooks; a mountable shark’s head whose toothy maw can be used as a receptacle for beach hats, dog leashes and so on. Wall mounted “surfboards” give the cottage (or city apartment) a laid-back spot to hang a jacket. And a crisp cotton pillow is photoprinted with a regal seagull perched atop a sign pointing to — what else? — the beach. Bring some sea-life elements to a couple of walls with Pottery Barn’s mounted faux sea urchin collection, set in a soft white frame. Branches of rosy coral are silkscreened on linen to make an elegant wall hanging. There are also pretty caststone terra cotta starfish, and shells, washed white and framed. A day’s beachcombing often yields some lovely finds, such as gently hued, water-washed glass. At Beach Grass Cottage, they’ve gath-

BEACH FINDS LAMPS feature a clear glass cylinder you can fill up with beachcombing treasures. This summer, retailers are offering decor that evokes the sand and surf, but with a sophistication that makes it work as a seasonal accent to most rooms no matter what your decorating style.

The classic work triangle of sink, cooktop, and refrigerator has remained a useful guide for planning efficient kitchens for many decades. However, the most recent adaptations of this formula are becoming increasingly more complex due to bigger kitchens with more elements (dishwashers, secondary chef’s sinks, wine coolers, refrigerator drawers, warming drawers, etc.). Kitchen designers are now more likely to think in terms of overlapping triangles or multiple zones, each with a work triangle of its own. One such design layout, known as the “double-L,” merges two L-shaped configurations of base cabinets and countertops. While the smaller “L” containing a cooktop and a second sink focuses on the primary cooking chores, food prep takes place in the larger “L.”

Wall mounted “surfboards” give the cottage (or city apartment) a laid-back spot to hang a jacket. And a crisp cotton pillow is photo-printed with a regal seagull perched atop a sign pointing to — what else? — the beach. ered up lots of the stuff, and their artisans have made lampshade and mirror trims, as well as wreaths that can be custom ordered in shades of milky white, pastel pink, aqua and even a few brighter blues. There are alphabet letters encrusted with sea glass, too — what a great house present. A look at the Seaside Inspired website is like a trip to some remote stretch of sand. Here, the Beach Finds lamp lets you fill the base of the light with your own scavengings. Another, spherical lamp is crafted of fishing line, vines and wire. Gossamerlike sea fans are photo-etched on thin metal that can be wrapped around tea lights or hurricanes for the patio. Cape Cod sand cloaks little tealight jars — manna for the city-bound entertainer. And if yachting is a secret wish, order the porthole wall mirror. As realistic as you’ll find, and fun for a powder room.

KOVEL’S ANTIQUES

Spice box once central to home life By Terry Kovel

Nick Krug/Journal-World Photos

ELLEN DUNCAN is pictured near her rose garden at her Lecompton home. Duncan has beautified her property with various types of gardens throughout, timing bulbs so there is a floral show throughout the year.

Seasonal blooms ————

Lecompton resident’s careful planning yields garden show all year long O

ne of the biggest challenges to creating an attractive landscape is getting plants to bloom throughout the seasons. This task is especially difficult because most perennial flowers, trees and shrubs typically only bloom a few weeks out of the year. Looking around Ellen and Howard Duncan’s yard in Lecompton, Ellen’s careful planning of bloom sequence is apparent. Right now, the vibrant colors of Oriental and Asiatic lilies and daylilies steal my attention, while the green foliage of hundreds of alreadybloomed irises makes a perfect backdrop. There are also shrubs and roses, and Ellen tells me the irises and daylilies are mixed with tulips and jonquils that bloomed early this spring. “They usually start in the snow,” she says. “There are bulbs blooming out here from January to May.” As the last of the bulbs fade, there is Japanese kerria, phlox and columbine to take their place. On a shady hillside, multiple varieties of hostas and coral bells fill the spaces and add interest with different hues and variegations in their foliage. Ellen points out a grouping of my favorite plant, the Japanese toad lily. “The blooms on these don’t look like much,” Duncan says. “But they bloom in late summer when not a lot of other things do.” Also on this shady hillside, Ellen has also hung tropical ferns from a few of the trees. Potted begonias that she overwinters in the house fill an area beside the wooden bridge. This area in particular feels very manicured and very natural at the same time.

A FLOWER GARDEN in back of Duncan’s house is filled with color and contained by its own fence.

We have an old wooden wall telephone made by Century Telephone Construction Co. of Buffalo, N.Y. There’s a 1905 patent date on it. The phone has all of its original components inside and is 100 percent complete. What is it worth?

Higher up the hill, in the sun, butterfly milkweed, coneflower, bee balm and salvia are all blooming now, and a mimosa tree in the yard is just getting ready for its mid-summer show. Although the false indigo has finished blooming for the year, the plant still bears pretty seed pods. Ellen draws my attention to a sea of red poppies.

A BEE JUMPS from rose to rose in Duncan’s garden at her Lecompton home. “The poppies are annuals but they re-seed every year,” she says. “That makes it easy.” In another area, a butterfly bush that will bloom the rest of the summer is tucked in with more lilies and several varieties of coneflower. “About the time these finish, the mums will start,” Ellen says.

KANSAS COLOR!

The crape myrtles and toad lilies should be taking off then, too. After frost, she will rely mostly on the lungworts in the shade garden — their foliage remains green throughout the winter. Then it is a short wait for the bulbs to start blooming in January. She’s also planted a witch hazel, a shrub that is one of the first plants to bloom in January. “This whole thing has been kind of an experiment to see what grows,” Ellen tells me. “We put things out here, and if they don’t grow, we try something else.” I think it is an experiment with careful planning. —Jennifer Smith is the Horticulture Extension Agent for K-State Research and Extension in Douglas County.

Spices were an important part of cooking in the days before refrigeration was available in most homes. Meat and fish were smoked, pickled, peppered, salted or treated with combinations of spices that kept the food from rotting. A home garden included spices, herbs and edible flowers, all plants that either made it possible to store food or made slightly spoiled food taste better. Fresh spices were used when in season, but most were dried and stored for use later in the year. Some, like salt, were not always found locally and had to be imported. In medieval times, herbs like tansy, rue, hyssop and pennyroyal were used, but today’s selection is more likely to be pepper, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and dozens of other flavorful spices. The spice box was an important piece of furniture kept near the cooking area. Sometimes it was made of tin, but most spice boxes were made of wood decorated with paint or inlay. An exceptional spice box from Pennsylvania dating from about 1750-1770 sold at a recent Skinner auction. It featured a compass design made of four different woods. It also had border designs. The box, about 21 inches high and 16 inches wide, had a door covering 10 tiger maple and one walnut drawer. The estimated price of $30,000 to $50,000 was surpassed when the buyer paid $90,000.

Century Telephone Construction Co. was founded in Cleveland in 1899 but moved to Buffalo in 1902. In 1909 Century merged with the Federal Telephone & Telegraph Co. of Palo Alto, Calif., although the Century name continued to be used for a few more years. So your phone probably was made between 1905 (the patent date on it) and 1910 (just after the merger), but it may have been manufactured in the early 1910s. Wall telephones of that vintage in good shape sell for prices ranging from $200 to $600.

Daughter not obligated to take care of abusive dad Dear Annie: I need to know how to handle my father, who is mean and hateful toward me. I am 52, and my earliest memories are of this man physically and emotionally abusing me. When I was 10, he would kick me across the yard, call me “tramp” and “slut,” and say I would never amount to anything. My mother saw everything and allowed it to happen. She is still married to him. My father has managed to embarrass me at work by being a tyrant, calling me every name in the book and threatening to punch me in the face in front of my coworkers. I have other siblings, but they did not suffer as much abuse as I did. Now that my father is 75 and needs care, how can I be expected to help? To everyone outside the family, he comes across as a decent person, but I want nothing to do with him for as long as he lives. — No Signature, Please Dear No: You are not obligated to take care of an abusive parent simply because he needs help. However, if you can afford it, you might choose to offer some financial assistance as a gift to your siblings who will undoubtedly be stuck arranging your father’s care. They may not have suffered as much abuse as you, but certainly their childhood could not

and affection. I am not overweight and still look good at 56. I don’t believe he is interested in anyone else, but in the past, he has had a problem with pornography. He blamed it on not getting enough sex. I was very hurt that he did not discuss it with me. Our church is holding a marriage retreat in a couple of months, and I’d like to attend, but my husband says he’s not interested. I don’t want a anniesmailbox@comcast.net divorce, but I don’t want to feel have been easy. Contributing unloved, either. — Miserable financially will ease their burden and alleviate whatever Dear Miserable: It will be difsense of responsibility you may have, without forcing you to deal directly with your father.

Dear Annie: My husband and I have been married for 21 years, and he doesn’t seem to be attracted to me anymore. He denies this, but he ignores me and prefers to work on his motorcycle, read or sleep rather than spend time with me. My husband is often tired from work and goes to sleep after our 10-year-old goes to bed at 8:30. When I come into the bedroom, he doesn’t even look up. There is no affection unless I ask. He is already taking testosterone, so that is not the issue. We have tried counseling and setting up romantic “dates,” but nothing has worked. I know I am a good wife. I deserve my husband’s love

‘True Blood’ opens with twist “True Blood” (8 p.m. Sunday, HBO) enters its fourth season in full-fledged fantasy mode. It almost seems like the premium network wants the audience for the just-completed “Game of Thrones” to stick around. As the action commences, Sookie (Anna Paquin) seems knee-deep in some kind of fairyland where time stands still and gorgeous folks devour a magical glowing fruit, an appetizer our heroine has the presence of mind to avoid. Not to give too much away, but action soon returns to her vampire Peyton Place by the bayou, where things are nuanced and interesting, if not a tad hard to follow. Not unlike those glowing apples, “True Blood” is a decidedly acquired taste, even if its myriad subplots seem to have grown and multiplied like kudzu. ● NBC suits who long dreamed for Jerry Seinfeld to return to prime time probably never thought his vehicle would be reduced to summer filler. “The Marriage Ref” (9 p.m., NBC) returns for a new season on Sunday. For the uninitiated, this series asks three celebrities to referee husbands and wives in a domestic dispute of a quirky and humorous nature. On tonight’s “Ref,” Seinfeld, actress Julianne Moore and “The Office” creator Ricky Gervais evaluate the competing claims of a man who thinks his Thai-born wife lets her mother’s visits last too long and a woman who thinks her husband’s habit of growing enormous pumpkins has become an obsessive distraction. This year, the audience gets to vote on the show’s most emphatically right spouse, who wins a cash prize and will have a billboard erected in his or her hometown announcing the show’s verdict. Hosted by Tom Papa, and sporadically amusing, “Ref” seems like a perfectly nice half-hour afternoon show expanded to a full 60 minutes in the interest of filling (or is that killing?) prime time. ● “Cocaine Sub Hunt” (8 p.m., National Geographic) recalls one of the most amazing drug busts ever — the discovery and seizure of a custom-made fiberglass submarine big enough for a six-man crew. More than 100 feet long, the vessel could carry 8 tons of narcotics with a street value estimated at a quarter of a billion dollars. ● A doctor theorizes a way to rescue “harnessed” kids on “Falling Skies” (9 p.m., TNT).

Gay marriage vote may have national impact By David Crary

NEW YORK GOV. ANDREW CUOMO reacts after same sex marriage was legalized after a vote Friday in the Senate Chamber at the Capitol in Albany, N.Y.

Associated Press Writer

NEW YORK — Many obstacles still lie ahead for supporters of same-sex marriage, and eventually they will need Congress or the Supreme Court to embrace their goal. For the moment, though, they are jubilantly channeling the lyrics of “New York, New York.” “Now that we’ve made it here, we’ll make it everywhere,” said prominent activist Evan Wolfson, who took up the cause of marriage equality as a law student three decades ago. With a historic vote by its Legislature late Friday, New York became the sixth — and by far the most populous — state to legalize same-sex marriage since Massachusetts led the way, under court order, in 2004. With the new law, which takes effect after 30 days, the number of Americans in same-sex marriage states more than doubles. New York’s population of 19 million surpasses the combined total of Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont, New Hampshire and Iowa, plus the District of Columbia. The outcome — a product of intensive lobbying by Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo — will have nationwide repercussions. Activists hope the New York vote will help convince judges and politicians across the country, including a hesitant President Barack Obama, that support of same-sex marriage is now a mainstream viewpoint and a winning political stance. “New York sends the message that marriage equality

across the country is a question of ‘when,’ not ‘if,”’ said Fred Sainz, a vice president of the Human Rights Campaign. Wolfson, president of the advocacy group Freedom to Marry, said the goal is attainable by 2020, or sooner, “if we do the work and keep making the case.” The work — as envisioned by leading activists — is a three-pronged strategy unfolding at the state level, in dealings with Congress and the Obama administration, and in the courts where several challenges to the federal ban on gay marriage are pending. “This will be a big boost to our efforts nationally,” said Richard Socarides, a former Clinton White House adviser on gay rights. “It will help in the pending court cases to show that more states are adopting same-sex marriage, and it will help in the court of public opinion.” The New York bill cleared the Republican-controlled Senate by a 33-29 margin, thanks to crucial support from four GOP senators who joined all but one Democrat in voting yes. The Democrat-

ic-led Assembly, which previously approved the bill, passed the Senate’s stronger religious exemptions in the measure, and Cuomo swiftly signed it into law. Gay rights activists have been heaping praise on Cuomo for leading the push for the bill, seizing on an issue that many politicians of both parties have skirted. Yet the Senate vote marked the first time a Republican-controlled legislative chamber in any state has supported same-sex marriage, and several prominent Republican donors contributed to the lobbying campaign on behalf of the bill. For those engaged in the marriage debate nationally, recent months have been a political rollercoaster. Bills to legalize same-sex marriage failed in Maryland and Rhode Island despite gay rights activists’ high hopes. However, Illinois, Hawaii and Delaware approved civil unions, joining five other states — California, Nevada, New Jersey, Oregon and Washington — that provide gay couples with extensive marriage-like rights. Adding those eight states

to the six that allow gay marriage, more than 35 percent of Americans now live in states where gay couples can effectively attain the rights and responsibilities of marriage. Just 11 years ago, no states offered such rights. For now, gay couples cannot get married in 44 states, and 30 of them have taken the extra step of passing constitutional amendments banning gay marriage. Minnesota’s Republican-controlled Legislature has placed such an amendment on the 2012 ballot. Brian Brown, president of the conservative National Organization for Marriage, vowed to seek defeat of the New York Republicans who helped the marriage bill pass. He also predicted victory for the amendment to ban gay marriage next year in Minnesota, and said this would belie the claims that the same-sex marriage campaign would inevitably prevail nationwide. “We’ve won every free, fair vote of the people,” Brown said Saturday. “Backroom deals in Albany are not an indication of what people in this country think about marriage.” Several recent opinion polls — by Gallup and The Associated Press, among others — have shown that a majority of Americans now approve of same-sex marriage, which a decade ago lagged below 40 percent support. Particularly strong backing for gay marriage among young people, who’ve grown up watching gay friendly films and TV programs, has prompted many analysts across the political spectrum to suggest the trend is irreversible.

Marriage plans bloom in and around N.Y. N EW Y O R K ( AP ) — As the news flashed around the globe that New York state had legalized gay marriage, New York fashion designer Malcolm Harris didn’t waste any time. He dashed off a Twitter message to his boyfriend of nine years: “‘Will you marry me?” A city away, in Boston, Bernadette Smith decided to immediately relocate her business planning gay weddings to New York City. In Brooklyn, pastors Ann Kansfield and Jennifer Aull received their f irst two requests to wed gay couples at their church in the borough’s Greenpoint section. They scheduled one for Labor Day weekend. Even as supporters of gay marriage celebrated victory in New York on Saturday, preparations were being made to make gay weddings a reality in the state. Couples who had talked about going out-of-state to wed changed their plans. Reception venues got their first calls. Churches that accept gay unions said they were looking forward to hosting ceremonies. After a lifetime of waiting, there was a sense of urgency. The law signed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo late Friday night doesn’t take effect for 30 days, but Harris — who got a “yes” to his Twitter proposal — said he and K. Tyson Perez planned to get a marriage license right away, wed on

Ill, stranded penguin offered a lift home By Nick Perry Associated Press Writer

WELLINGTON, NEW ZEALAND — A young emperor penguin stranded in New Zealand has survived two medical procedures and now has an offer of a lift home. Yet the aquatic bird that many are calling Happy Feet — after the lighthearted 2006 movie — is not out of danger yet. The penguin remained on an intravenous drip Saturday and faces another procedure Monday to remove more sand from its digestive system. If it does pull through, a businessman wants to take it by boat to Antarctica next February. Happy Feet arrived on Peka Peka Beach, about 40 miles northwest of Wellington, last Monday, the first time in 44 years that an emperor penguin has been spotted in the wild in New Zealand. Typically, emperors spend their entire lives in and around Antarctica. At first Happy Feet seemed fine, but as the week progressed, the bird became more lethargic. It ate a lot of sand, apparently mistaking it for snow, which emperor penguins eat in Antarctica to hydrate themselves during the frozen winters. By Friday, conservation officials decided its condition had worsened to the point that it would likely die without intervention. So they transported the penguin in a tub of ice to the Wellington Zoo. Zoo spokeswoman Kate Baker said the bird was put on anesthesia for 2 1/2 hours Friday while veterinarians flushed its throat and stomach with water to remove sand. A second procedure on Saturday was more of the same, yet the penguin’s digestive system still remained clogged. Baker said staff want to give the bird a break today but

This is one homesick penguin, stranded on a New Zealand beach 2,000 miles from Antarctica and eating sand it mistook for snow. plan a third flushing procedure Monday. The bird remained on an intravenous drip Saturday to help it rehydrate. New Zealand investment adviser Gareth Morgan, who is leading an expedition to Antarctica next February, on Saturday offered Happy Feet a trip home aboard a Russian icebreaker. But it would not be for another eight months. “Of course until that time Happy Feet will have to be cared for here in Wellington, where we’re lucky enough to have a great community of wildlife experts, capable not just of pumping sand but also ensuring this wayfaring fellow is hosted appropriately until it’s time to set sail,” Morgan wrote on his website. “A sea passage is far more akin to the animal’s natural rite of passage across the Southern Ocean than any trip in a Globelifter jet might be, with no risk of deep vein thrombosis,” Morgan added jokingly.

Libyan state media says NATO airstrike kills 15

COLIN CUNLIFFE, LEFT, AND BREWTER MCCALL, OF MANHATTAN, CELEBRATE the legalization of same-sex marriage in New York State outside the Stonewall Inn on Friday in New York. The measure passed, 33-29, following weeks of tense delays and debate. paper, and then have a blowout reception in six months. “I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with him,” Harris said. “This is going to be as traditional as it gets. We’re going to do it at the Four Seasons, a place that is like gay church to me,” he added about the atmospheric restaurant where he planned to hold the event. The law passed amid opposition from the largest and most influential religious

groups in the state, but in New York City, at least, there were still an ample number of churches that have already said they would happily officiate a gay marriage ceremony. The Rev. Stephen H. Phelps, senior minister at the Riverside Church, in Manhattan, said he was looking forward to replacing the commitment ceremonies that have been done there for years with something statesanctioned.

“I think it is an occasion for members of our society who have been burned by narrowminded religion to see that it doesn’t have to be that way,” he said. At a gay pride celebration in Harlem’s Marcus Garvey Park, the Rev. Joseph Tolton of the Rehoboth Temple Christ Conscious Church, a Pentecostal congregation that is predominantly gay, said he couldn’t wait to start. “I’m going to be very busy on Saturdays,” he said.

TRIPOLI, LIBYA (AP) — Libyan authorities accused NATO of killing 15 people in an airstrike Saturday that they said hit a restaurant and bakery in the east, though the alliance denied the report. It was the latest outcry from Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi’s government blaming NATO for killing civilians amid a four-month uprising that has sparked a civil war. NATO insists it does all it can to avoid such casualties. Meanwhile, rebel representatives said their fighters were coordinating around the country for the “zero hour” when their forces would reach the capital of Tripoli. The rebels said they have been working to cut fuel supplies from the Tunisian border in an attempt to paralyze Gadhafi’s forces. Rebels also are making homemade bombs and trying to ferry other weapons to their comrades in Tripoli, a spokesman for an underground guerrilla group there said. Libya’s state news agency quoted a military official in

Gadhafi’s forces as saying that NATO warplanes hit a number of civilian sites Saturday in the oil town of Brega, including a restaurant and a bakery. The official said 15 civilians were killed and 20 wounded in the strike. The JANA news agency also claimed f ive civilians were killed Friday in Brega as well. NATO said it did not carry out any strikes in the area on Saturday. A NATO off icial said alliance warplanes did hit several targets in the vicinity of Brega on Friday but that there was no evidence civilians had been killed or wounded. “We have no indications of any civilian casualties in connection with these strikes,” said the official, who spoke on condition on anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media on the record. “What we know is that the buildings we hit were occupied and used by proGadhaf i forces to direct attacks against civilians around Ajdabiya.”

Endangered Puerto Rican parrot species making a comeback By Ben Fox Associated Press Writer

EL YUNQUE NATIONAL FOREST, PUERTO RICO — Deep amid the dense greenery of a rain forest, down an unmarked road, behind a barbed wire fence in a low-slung compound monitored by security cameras, government scientists are nursing a special patient back to health. The patient is on pain medication, but lucid enough to ruffle his emerald green feathers and fill the room with angry squawks when a biologist removes him from an incubator. It is a Puerto Rican parrot with a broken leg, a serious injury for one of the world’s most endangered bird species. In the past, the prognosis

would have been grim. “That probably would have been a dead bird,” said Jafet Velez, a biologist who manages the Puerto Rican parrot breeding center in the El Yunque National Forest, one of two such facilities on the island. The injured bird, a 2month-old known only as Number 111405, faces an extended stay in the avian equivalent of intensive care and may need surgery. But it is likely to survive. The outlook is increasingly positive as well for the entire species, which has hovered near extinction for decades, with slightly more than a dozen left in the wild at one point. “Everything is moving in a positive direction,” said Tom White, a Fish and Wildlife biologist who helps manage

the island’s wild parrot populations. It is difficult to pinpoint the number of birds because they are elusive and not all have functioning radio collars. But White said there are 20-25 in El Yunque, east of San Juan, and 40-70 in Rio Abajo Nature Preserve in western Puerto Rico. Both groups have done well enough that Fish and Wildlife and its partner, Puerto Rico’s Department of Natural Resources, are looking to create additional wild populations, with the next one possibly in the U.S. territory’s rugged, sparsely populated western Maricao region. The next release of birds from captivity is scheduled for December. There are now about 150

birds each in the two captive breeding centers, in El Yunque and in Rio Abajo. Both breeding centers report a record year for new chicks, about 40 each. Puerto Rican parrots are one of about 34 species of Amazon parrots found in the Americas. Amazona vittata are known for the bright red shock of feathers at their forehead, white rings around their eyes and the shimmering blue feathers under their wings, usually visible when they dart overhead. The parrots, which grow to about a foot in length and mate for life, are secretive and considered exceptionally sensitive to any disturbance to their environment, which may be why their numbers plummeted in the wild.
