The best places to view tonight’s fireworks

By Nicole Wentling nwentling@ljworld.com

Part of enjoying a Fourth of July fireworks display is finding the perfect spot to watch the colorful extravaganza unfold.

The Lawrence Jaycees

are sponsoring a 30-minute display starting at 9:45 tonight, and Lawrence residents are scouting the best vantage points.

Owen Lehmann, a member of the Jaycees, has helped with the show since he was a kid working with his father. Now,

at 33, Lehmann will be one of the members lighting the fuses.

He named Watson Park as the best place to be when the pyrotechnics begin. Though there have been issues in the past with people not getting a clear view of the fireworks

because of the trees in and around the park, Lehmann said the Jaycees have addressed this.

“We’ve increased the size of our fireworks,” he said.

“So you should be able to see them go higher.”

He also said there are a

Homes to be inspected for sewer system problems

Lawrence’s blue-light special

———

Owners wouldn’t be responsible for fixes under city’s program

TOMMY SUTTON, A SIGNAL TECHNICIAN with the city’s traffic division, installs a blue light at 23rd and Iowa streets. City workers and researchers from the Kansas University School of Engineering are partnering to install eight blue lights at the intersections of 23rd and Louisiana and 23rd and Iowa streets as part of an experimental traffic safety effort. The blue light simply turns on when the existing traffic light turns red, allowing police to see from any direction whether a driver just made it through on yellow or ran the red light long after it turned.

Twice-thwarted KU archaeologist hopes to finally collect prestigious Swedish honor

By Matt Erickson merickson@ljworld.com

Twice this year, Bill Woods was set to go receive the greatest honor of his life: an honorary doctorate from the prestigious Uppsala University in Sweden.

But twice, his health has foiled him. First there was a concussion, from a fall in his bathroom. Then there was back surgery, correcting discs and vertebrae that were putting unbearable pressure on his spine.

“It was a comedy of errors,” said Woods, a professor of geography at Kansas University.

Perhaps so, but it was no

coincidence. His more than four decades of work as an archaeologist had earned him the honor, but the scars from his hazardous career had left the 66-year-old Woods unable to go be recognized — at least for now.

It was last fall when Woods learned he’d been picked to receive an honorary doctorate from Uppsala, a university founded in 1477 whose past faculty include Carl Linnaeus, who created the modern system of taxonomy for living things, and Anders Celsius, the namesake of the temperature scale.

The doctorate was to rec-

Residents in East Lawrence may get an odd knock on their door later this year: A city-hired inspector who wants to look at your sump pump and perhaps even make a video of your home’s sewer pipe.

It is the latest effort by city officials to shore up a leaky sewer system and avoid tens of millions of dollars in improvements down the line.

“This will be a different type of program for us, but we think it will be an important one,” City Manager David Corliss said.

Here’s the problem: When it rains, the sewer pipes in the older parts of town allow large amounts of water to seep into the sewer system. That water shows up at the city’s lone sewage treatment plant and puts a Corliss strain on the plant’s capacity during wet weather. The Environmental Protection Agency already has put the city on notice that the city may have problems in the future meeting the EPA’s wet weather treatment regulations.

Rather than spend $40 million or more to make improvements at the sewage treatment plant and to pump stations throughout town, the city is looking to spend about half of that amount on an eight-year program aimed at reducing the amount of water that seeps into the sewage system in the first place.

“You can either catch it before it gets in there or you can build a system to treat it and get it out,” Mayor Mike Dever said. “I think the way we’re doing this will be a good thing.”

Don’t think about adding to the evening’s pyrotechnics; except for this professional display, fireworks are banned in the city.

signs of human waste and garbage, as well as a method of cultivating the earth with charcoal that could suggest possible sustainable farming practices for use today.

“His work in the Amazon is groundbreaking,” said Rolfe Mandel, a KU professor of anthropology and senior scientist at the Kansas Geological Survey.

To receive his honor, Woods was to attend a lavish ceremony in January at Uppsala, where he would wear a white tuxedo with tails and receive a gold ring.

But the problem is that, Woods says, the perils of an archaeological career shown in the “Indiana Jones” movies actually aren’t that far off. And a lifetime of dangerous work is catching up to him.

Woods can tick off a laundry list of injuries and diseases he’s had. He’s had seven concussions, many from rocks or debris falling on his head as he collected soil samples from 15-foot-deep holes. He’s had malaria, hepatitis and typhoid. He’s broken his hand and several ribs.

Then there was the time when his Achilles tendon snapped while he was crossing a six-lane highway in Panama to get some antibiotics for a case of pneumonia. He had to drag his leg the rest of the way.

“It was like ‘Frogger,’” Woods said.

And he’s put a lot of strain on his back over

the years, first while playing football in high school and college and then while hauling equipment through jungles and down holes. Finally, in March, he had to have surgery to remove parts of three discs and two vertebrae.

That meant he’d have to miss his already-rescheduled trip to Sweden, set for May. But Woods isn’t down on himself. He’s better off than colleagues of his who’ve been shot or bitten by snakes in the middle of the jungle.

And, he says, the work has been worth it.

“It’s finding new things,” Woods said. “The camaraderie. And, I guess, the sense of adventure.”

Woods is thinking of retirement soon. He did receive his actual honorary doctorate, a two-footlong certificate written in Latin, in the mail. And he’s set to receive another award in October, a lifetime-achievement honor from the Geological Society of America.

But he’s also waiting to find out whether his trip to Sweden can be rescheduled. If it can, he’s determined to go.

“I need to get my gold ring,” Woods said, “and to do that I have to go there.”

spent on repairing the faulty sewer systems of homeowners. A good portion of it will be used to place special liners in the main sewer lines that run across the city. A breakdown on how much money will be spent specifically on addressing problems with private systems versus addressing issues on the public system hasn’t been determined yet.

But city commissioners this week got the ball rolling on the project by approving a $1.2 million contract with TREKK Design Group to design and implement the inspection program, along with other tasks.

TREKK officials are estimating that 1,450 buildings — primarily in the eastern city limits north of 23rd Street, south of 11th Street and east of Haskell Avenue — will need to be inspected. Past testing projects indicate that about 600 houses and buildings will need some sort of repair work.

At times, the testing will be fairly extensive.

Inspectors in some cases will use closed-circuit television cameras to film the inside of a sewer pipe to determine whether there are breaks or leaks.

In addition, TREKK plans to inspect about 500 manholes and do smoke testing on about 100,000 feet of sanitary sewer lines.

Now that the contract has been approved, city officials will start developing a program to reach out to homeowners to begin asking for permission to make inspections on the property.

“We know this is going to take a large outreach effort,” said Mike Lawless, the city’s assistant director of utilities. “We know

we can’t just knock on the door and expect to get in on the first try.”

Wagner said he hopes some testing can begin in 2013, but he said the inspections will extend well into 2014. In future years, other areas of town — primarily east of Iowa Street — also may be targeted for the inspections.

City commissioners unanimously approved moving forward with the project, which has a goal of reducing the infiltration and inflow problem by about 35 percent.

The infiltration and inflow project is one of two major sewer system projects underway in the city.

Design work also is underway on a $64 million sewage treatment plant south of the Wakarusa River.

While this infiltration and inflow project isn’t eliminating the need for that plant, it is eliminating the need for some improvements at the city’s other sewage treatment plant along the Kansas River.

Future rate increases will help pay for both projects. Corliss’ recommended 2014 budget calls for about a 5 percent increase in the combined water and sewer bills of Lawrence residents.

Utility regulators approve operations changes

Public Works facility approved

One brick at a time

——

KCC rethinking procedures after leader’s departure TOPEKA (AP) — The commission that regulates utilities in Kansas on Tuesday approved changes in its operations after replacing its top staff member and facing allegations it violated the state’s Open Meetings Act. The changes approved by the Kansas Corporation Commission included scheduling two public meetings a week to handle routine business, rather than just one, the Topeka Capital-Journal reported. The KCC also will require that major staff changes be reviewed by all three commission members. “There has to be opportunity for input,� said Commissioner Thomas Wright, the lone KCC member not appointed by Republican Gov. Sam Brownback.

But the KCC also agreed to delegate day-to-day responsibility for making future personnel changes to Chairman Mark Sievers, who said he will continue to coordinate decisions with the governor’s office. Sievers said it would not be accurate to describe the KCC as a “free standing� agency from the executive branch.

When Baldwin City residents wake today to the popping of firecrackers, they will once again find small American lawn flags placed in their yards.

Krystal Williams 18 years ago started what Please see KCC, page 4A has become a tradition

when she decided to add some patriotic zip to the local holiday. “I started it in 1995 as a way of showing appreciation to the community,� said Williams, who at the time owned Hedges Real Estate. “My agents and I got up early in the morning to place them.�

Williams continued the practice with the

help of other city businesses until she sold Hedges three years later.

Eventually, the practice ended until her husband, Jim Williams, helped revive it in 2010.

Jim Williams said he restarted it because residents missed the flags.

Area residents appointed to boards Cindy Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neal has been appointed by Gov. Sam Brownback to a three-yearterm on the Kansas State Fair Board.

Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neal is chief of staff to House Appropriations Chairman Marc Rhoades, R-Newton, and an assistant to the assistant general manager of the State Fair.

Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neal is the wife of former House Speaker Mike Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neal, who now is president and chief executive officer of the Kansas Chamber of Commerce.

Mike Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neal served as a legislator from Hutchinson for 28 years. He was speaker of the 125-member House his last four years in office. He and his wife now live in Lawrence.

cized her management style. The consultants concluded that the rift between her and the staff couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be repaired.

Days later, Shawnee County District Attorney Chad Taylor filed an open meetings lawsuit against the commission over its approval of a rate increase for the water district of a small Salina housing development.

Taylorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s complaint questioned the KCCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s practice of issuing regulatory orders without having a public meeting and vote, by having an attorney confer with each member individually and issue a decision reflecting the majorityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s views. The KCC defended the practice but voted last week to abandon it indefinitely.

Commissioner Shari Feist-Albrecht proposed scheduling more public meetings to handle routine business, saying it would lessen the need for â&#x20AC;&#x153;pop-upâ&#x20AC;? public sessions called on short notice.

Parties agree to delay in KCC lawsuit TOPEKA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Kansas prosecutor has agreed to delay his lawsuit against the Kansas Corporation Commission over alleged open meetings violations while the utility regulatory board reviews its policies.

Shawnee County District Attorney Chad Taylor said Wednesday he filed a motion in state court agreeing to a 120day stay while the KCC conducts a voluntary audit of its procedures. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once that audit has been completed, the parties will resume litigation,â&#x20AC;? the district attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office said in a statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While the stay may not exceed 120 days by the terms of the motion and order, the parties expect the case to continue towards a resolution well before that time.â&#x20AC;?

Taylor said in court documents filed June 19 that the three members of the KCC, which regulates utilities in Kansas, violated the Kansas Open Meetings Act by taking binding action on

League of Women Voters seeks names of judicial applicants

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Kansas League of Women Voters has filed a request under state law to try to get Gov. Sam Brownback to disclose the names of those applying for a judicial position on the Kansas Court of Appeals.

Brownback, who will make the judicial appointment, has refused to divulge the names of applicants.

Prior to this year, appointments to the Kansas Supreme Court and Court of Appeals were made by the governor from a list of nominees provided by a nominating commission.

That commission had since 1981 revealed the names of those applying.

But Brownback and his allies changed that law this year to give the governor the power to fill positions on the Court of Appeals

pending confirmation by the state Senate. Supporters of changing that law said the nominating commission process was too closed off to the public and that the new system mirrored that used on the federal level.

Using the Kansas Open Records Act, the Kansas League of Voters, with 700 members in 10 local leagues, has asked Brownback for the names of applicants for the vacancy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seeking transparency in government on behalf of League members throughout Kansas, I look forward to receiving your response to our request,â&#x20AC;? the filing from Dolores Furtado, president of the League of Women Voters of Kansas, said.

But Eileen Hawley, a spokeswoman for Brownback, defended keeping the names of applicants secret. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This process provides transparency

and accountability while maintaining confidentiality to these judicial applicants and ensuring our ability to have a broad pool of highly qualified candidates,â&#x20AC;? Hawley said.

Brownbackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office disseminated to the media copies of an article from the conservative National Reviewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website that described as â&#x20AC;&#x153;sillyâ&#x20AC;? criticisms of Brownback over not disclosing the names of the judicial applicants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The new process being used for Kansas Court of Appeals appointments mirrors the advice-andconsent process set forth in the U.S. Constitution. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recall any major advocacy organizations, in Kansas or elsewhere, calling on President Obama to make the names of his judicial applicants public,â&#x20AC;? the article states. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Statehouse reporter Scott Rothschild can be reached at 785-423-0668.

Silpada founders buy company back from Avon NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Beauty products company Avon is selling the jewelry business Silpada back to its co-founders and their families for $85 million, well below what it paid three years ago.

Avon announced earlier this year that it was reviewing strategic options for the business, which sells sterling silver jewelry at home parties.

Avon purchased Silpada Designs in July 2010 for $650 million.

Avon has been struggling at home and abroad as weak sales have hurt its profitability. The company has also wrestled with a bribery probe in China that began in 2008 and has since spread to other countries.

CEO Sheri McCoy is leading the company in a turnaround plan to cut costs, leave unprofitable markets and streamline its operations with the goal of achieving revenue

growth in the mid-singledigit percentage and $400 million in cost savings by 2016.

The families of Silpada co-founders Jerry and Bonnie Kelly and Tom and Teresa Walsh, through their company Rhinestone Holdings Inc., were the highest bidders in an auction process for the business.

Avon said in a regulatory filing on Tuesday that the transaction also includes up to $15 million more if Silpada hits certain earnings targets over the next two years.

Avon Products Inc. anticipates taking a charge before taxes of about $80 million in the second-quarter tied to the sale. It expects to use the saleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proceeds for general corporate purposes, including repaying outstanding debt.

Silpada said late Tuesday that Kelsey Perry and Ryane Delka, daughters of the Walsh and Kelly families respectively, will

serve as co-presidents.

Perry most recently served as Silpadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brand merchandising manager, while Delka was previously the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vice president of sales, development and training.

Jerry Kelly will remain as CEO, and he and Tom Walsh will serve as cochairmen. Bonnie Kelly, Teresa Walsh, Delka and Perry will also serve as board members.

The Walshes have Kansas University connections. Tom Walsh is a KU alumnus. The couple and their familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foundation made a $2 million donation to the Kansas University Cancer Center in 2011.

Silpada has more than 300 workers in the U.S. and Canada. The companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s international corporate headquarters and distribution center will stay in Lenexa, Kan. There are currently no plans to move its Canadian headquarters in Mississauga, Ontario.

a regulatory issue over a Salina water rate increase without convening in public to vote on the issue.

Taylorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office said the motion to delay the lawsuit was filed Tuesday in Shawnee County District Court.

The development came the same day Attorney General Derek Schmidtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office announced it would not represent the KCC in the lawsuit, as reported

by The Topeka CapitalJournal.

Taylorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s complaint questioned the KCCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s practice of issuing regulatory orders without a public meeting and vote and having an attorney confer with members individually to issue a decision reflecting the majority.

The KCC defended the practice but has since abandoned it indefinitely.

Part of the cost of the project will come from $9.5 million in sales tax revenue bonds the county issued last week. Officials said the rest of the funding is already set aside from motor fuel tax revenues and cash reserves in the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital improvements budget.

The new facility is also being designed to meet Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, or LEED, standards, according to Eileen Horn, the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sustainability coordinator who also served on the building committee that helped develop the plans.

HOSPITAL SHIPS ARE, FROM LEFT, NATHAN WILDER, NATE DIXEY, TAYLOR HOLENBECK AND JORDAN GEIGER. The Lawrence band, touring to promote their newest album, “Destruction in Yr Soul,” plans to move its home base from Lawrence to Austin, Texas later this year. Hospital Ships will be performing a show along with Fourth of July at 10 p.m. today at the Replay Lounge, 946 Massachusetts St.

Local band Hospital Ships releases new album, plans big move

I

t may be disheartening for some fans to learn from a recent article in The Pitch that Lawrence band Hospital Ships is planning a move to indie-music mecca Austin, Texas, later in the year.

“I’m still too close to Lawrence,” says Hospital Ships main creative force Jordan Geiger in an email, as the band charts through an intense East Coast tour. “Lawrence made me what I am today, and I will leave with an undying love for the city and the music scene in particular.

I leave forever grateful for all the help, love and friendship I’ve gotten in Lawrence.”

“I’ll probably be back soon,” he adds.

Throughout the last decade, Geiger has done tours of duty in renowned Lawrence-based groups like Minus Story and The Appleseed Cast. Having toured and traveled hard, Gei-

This at least shows with Hospital Ships, Geiger’s main focus for last few years. The project has blossomed from winsome bedroom pop into a full-fledged rock act, with a current lineup featuring bassist Nate Dixey, guitarist Taylor Holenbeck and

drummer Nathan Wilder, the latter two of The Appleseed Cast. The band has impressed concertgoers with its earnest and florid performances.

“It is the project that is the closest to my heart, and I’m really lucky to be playing with these three other people,” Geiger says.

A

s Hospital Ships has evolved, the band has only become more ambitious and colorful. Geiger’s first album with Hospital Ships, 2008’s “Oh, Romona,” was mostly an inward, solo psych-folk affair.

In 2011, aided by a smattering of collaborators and recorded in multiple states, Geiger released “Lonely Twin,” garnering positive attention from many music outlets such as Stereogum and NPR (the group even did a Tiny Desk Concert).

“Lonely Twin” showcased

The album cover for “Destruction in Yr Soul” Geiger’s omnivorous digest of musical influences, and articulated his and his cohorts’ kaleidoscopic vision of alternative pop music.

Geiger describes that record “almost like the greatest hits of a little-known band that had gone through a number of phases and then faded into obscurity.”

With “Destruction in Yr

Soul,” Hospital Ships’ bracing third record, released earlier this month on Graveface Records, the band develops an altogether tighter synthesis of its vast range of sounds and noises. It likewise has received critical attention, with tracks like “If It Speaks” and opener “Come Back To Life” bouncing through major outlets like Pitchfork and NPR’s All Songs Considered. And of course there’s that eyecatching, visceral and slightly NSFW video for late-album track “Servants.”

In comparison to “Lonely Twin,” Geiger describes the new LP as “more like the weird record that [the] band made right before going to rehab and discovering Jesus, but then never got released until years later.”

“Strange influences and superstitions” he says.

Geiger says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The three songs we left off the recordâ&#x20AC;Ś are probably the darkest things weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done.â&#x20AC;?

There is an ineffable spectral aura to this collection of amped-up and feedback-dusted songs (some of those superstitions Geiger mentioned perhaps) and the album demonstrates the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growing mastery of turning introspection into universal epics.

Geiger explains that some of the tracks date back a few years, when he was living in Columbus, Ohio, â&#x20AC;&#x153;listening to a lot of preachers on the radio there.â&#x20AC;? Despite imagery and lyrics that could register as spiritual throughout the album, Geiger indicates he is not spiritual. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yet I think a lot about my place in the universe, and I hope the music reflects some of that,â&#x20AC;? he says.

It develops big moments and huge feelings, thematically and musically, without losing the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sensitive indierock touch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ever think about what I write in terms of being big ideas, only things that relate to me and my friends in an immense world,â&#x20AC;?

[Nate] Dixey does a lot of crazy effects with his bass on that song that you really have to see him live to believe.â&#x20AC;?

Elaborating on working with his current band members, Geiger indicates that the goal is to always stay inspired and work toward making music that translates for the listener.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like to taste the alcohol in your drink? This beer cocktail (yes, those are real things) could be your new hot-weather favorite.

Along the lines of a summer beer (beer with lemonade and a shot of vodka), the Whipper combines light beer, Southern Comfort, orange juice and pineapple juice over ice in a 24-ounce plastic cup.

Fitting for the Fourth of July, the booze in this drink is an old-school American original. Fun fact from the SoCo website: The whiskey- and fruit-flavored liqueur was renamed Southern Comfort in 1885, but when founder M.W. Heron originally created it in 1874 at a New Orleans saloon, its first name was â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cuffs and Buttons.â&#x20AC;?

Boston ramps up July 4th security; revelers resolute

By Bridget Murphy Associated Press

BOSTON — For many New Englanders, the Fourth of July means the Boston Pops performing the “1812 Overture” on the Charles River Esplanade and fireworks booming overhead.

This year, it’s also the city’s first large public gathering since the Boston Marathon bombings — an attack that authorities have said the suspects first considered staging on Independence Day. But as law enforcement officials put a rampedup security plan in place Wednesday, many people in Boston said they wouldn’t give in to fear of terrorism by changing their plans or by staying

away from public celebrations.

Catherine Lawrie, a Massachusetts Senate employee, walked down near the Esplanade to hear some of the performers rehearse Wednesday.

She was disappointed a footbridge to the river was blocked because of increased security but said Boston looked ready to host a big party without any worries about safety.

She also wasn’t thinking about the bombing suspects’ alleged original target. “I’m thinking of independence and what our country is about,” Lawrie said.

Boston Pops conductor Keith Lockhart said the tight security reminded him of what it was like during the city’s first July

“

Not about to change our plans and traditions. We’re just not going to live in fear.”

— Christy Scott, East Boston resident Fourth celebration following the Sept. 11 attacks.

He said before then, the thought of having bombsniffing dogs at the Esplanade was odd.

“The core of terrorism is psychological. I think this is a perfect time to come together as Bostonians,” he said. “Events are a good way to move on from events like what happened.”

East Boston resi-

dent Christy Scott, who watched the Boston Marathon from the halfway point, gathered with her family Wednesday to watch the concert rehearsal. She wore a bracelet that said “Boston Strong,” the slogan that since the April 15 attack has come to represent the city’s refusal to give in to the fear of terrorism.

“Not about to change our plans and traditions,” she said. “We’re just not going to live in fear.”

Boston University chemistry professor Sean Elliott also brought relatives to the area.

“I’m not nervous,” Elliott said. “I am sure that the human spirit will thrive. I’m sure it will be a great festival like it is every year.”

Authorities have said the concert and fireworks display usually attracts 500,000 to 600,000 spectators, but cab driver Saidon Mayugi suggested that some people would be hesitant about being out in a big crowd.

“Some people, their minds are still on it,” Mayugi said.

Local, state and federal authorities coordinated on a security plan that includes a greater law-enforcement presence. That means more uniformed and undercover officers, along with precautions that include bag checks and increased live video surveillance along the Charles River that authorities will monitor from a nearby command center.

Authorities also have set

up a text-a-tip line for the public to report any suspicious activity.

Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis said the public will see more officers both downtown and in outlying neighborhoods.

He said the city even graduated a class of 55 police recruits early so that they could assist with security.

State police Col. Timothy Alben said Wednesday that authorities haven’t received any threats against the event by the river, and he encouraged the public to come out to a show that his own family will be attending.

So will Gov. Deval Patrick.

“I’m looking forward to it,” Patrick said Wednesday. “I think it’ll be a great day.”

Town balancing patriotism, grief for firefighters Delay stirs ———————

Residents ‘need to know that life is going to get back to normal,’ says fire marshal

By Hannah Dreier Associated Press

PRESCOTT, ARIZ. — The notoriously rambunctious annual rodeo contest in Prescott added a solemn new ritual this week: a cowboy leading a riderless horse around the outdoor arena, a fire helmet sitting on its saddle, fire boots resting in the stirrups.

Spectators in this Old West town of 40,000 placed straw hats over hearts and cried quietly during the tribute to the 19 firefighters who were killed Sunday then went on to drink, laugh and cheer as heartily as the miners and ranchers who patronized the arena in the 1800s.

Emotional whiplash has become a matter of course here as residents try to move on and enjoy the biggest tourism week of the year, while also mourning the men who were the town’s pride.

The famous saloons on Whiskey Row continue to hum, the Fourth of July fireworks show is going on as usual, and attendance is holding steady at the weeklong “World’s Oldest Rodeo” event, even as memorials proliferate on Prescott’s elm-lined streets and relatives fly in for funerals.

“It’s not going to do anyone any good just sitting in the house. I think it’s more important to spend time with people than anything else,” said financial planner Andrew Secundy, who cut loose at the rodeo Monday night and mourned at a twilight vigil Tuesday.

LINDA LAMBERT TOUCHES HER NEPHEW’S NAME, ANDREW ASHCRAFT, on a plaque outside of the Granite Mountain Interagency Hotshot Crew fire station on Tuesday in Prescott, Ariz. The plaque holds the names of the 19 firefighters killed Sunday by an out-of-control wildfire near Yarnell, Ariz. where rootin’ tootin’ cowboys still have a foothold.

It’s that spirit that will guide officials as they navigate the days ahead and figure out how to honor the elite Hotshot firefighters who died in a nearby wind-driven wildfire that is still burning, said Prescott Fire Marshal Don Devendorf.

“The people on the range, on ranches, they did whatever they could do. It wasn’t money, but it was love, it was caring, it was sweat,” Devendorf said as he walked among thousands of mourners who filled the Prescott High School football stadium for Tuesday’s vigil.

Nineteen balloons — one for each of the fallen — were released into the air.

Princeton researchers create ‘bionic ear’ PRINCETON, N.J. (AP) — With a 3-D printer, a petri dish and some cells from a cow, Princeton University researchers are growing synthetic ears that can receive — and transmit — sound.

The scientists send bovine cells mixed in a liquid gel through the printer, followed by tiny particles of silver. The printer is programmed to shape the material into a “bionic ear” and forms the silver particles into a coiled antenna.

Like any antenna, this one can pick up radio signals that the ear will interpret as sound.

The 3-D ear is not designed to replace a human one, though; the research is meant to explore a new method of combining electronics with biological material.

“What we really did here was actually more of a proof of concept of the capabilities of 3-D printing,” said Michael McAlpine, the professor who led the project. “Because most people use 3-D printing to print

broader worries about Obama health law

passive objects — things like figurines and jewelry.”

After it’s printed, the 3-D ear is soft and translucent. It is cultivated for 10 weeks, letting the cells multiply, creating a flesh color and forming hardened tissue around the antenna.

McAlpine and his team demonstrated the antenna’s ability to pick up radio signals by attaching electrodes onto the backs of the ears in the printing process. When they broadcast a recording of Beethoven’s “Fur Elise” to a pair of fully cultivated ears, the electrodes transmitted the signal along wires to a set of speakers, and the music flowed out clear and without interference.

Although the new research is just one iteration in the field of cybernetics — an area that looks at combining biology with technology — McAlpine said the research could lead to synthetic replacements for actual human functions and to a sort of electronic sixth sense.

“People need a reason to celebrate,” he said.

“They need to know that life is going to get back to normal.”

But the town is still hurting. There’s a saying here that if someone dies in Prescott, you either know the person or know someone who did.

That rings especially true for the Granite Mountain Hotshot fire crew, who were at the apex of Prescott’s thriving firefighting community. At least five of those killed graduated from Prescott High School.

Until Sunday, the quaint town was home to two of the Southwest’s 18 highly qualified Hotshot crews.

That was a point of pride among residents, who

“There’s a lot of people

who grow up and want to be firefighters here,” said Prescott native Ryan Philips, who worked as a Hotshot for three years.

Unemployment still hangs over a strengthening U.S. economy

By Jim Kuhnhenn Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Unemployment under President Barack Obama has remained high for the longest period since the Great Depression. Despite a slowly improving job market, the millions of Americans without jobs underscore weakness in the recovery, drag down consumer spending and still roil the nation’s politics.

Wall Street has had its jitters, but the stock market remains high; consumer confidence has improved; and the housing market is making a solid comeback.

Yet, while economic conditions change, much remains the same.

On Friday, the government will release its monthly jobs report, and economists predicted that U.S. employers added 165,000 jobs in June. That’s

fewer than in May and far short of the number of new jobs needed to push the unemployment rate down significantly from its current perch at 7.6 percent.

Unemployment has dropped from a high of 10 percent in October 2009.

It also is the last consequence of a recession to show improvement in a recovery. But the jobless rate has remained at or above 7.5 percent for 53 months, a period that has left an unusually large number of people out of the work force for so long that some of them will likely never work again. Nearly 12 million people are searching for work, and millions more are underemployed in involuntary part-time jobs.

The rate will take time to bring down, adding pressure on the economy and creating political problems for Obama and his Demo-

cratic allies in Congress.

Moreover, experts say the rate could plateau at a higher level than the 4.7 percent unemployment in place before the recession hit in 2008.

The Federal Reserve last month issued an optimistic forecast that the jobless rate would drop to between 6.5 and 6.8 percent by the fourth quarter of next year. But the Fed has been overly optimistic before; in 2009 it projected unemployment would hit between 6.7 and 7.5 at the end of 2011. Instead, it remained at 9 percent for most of the year before dropping to 8.5 percent.

WASHINGTON — The sudden delay of a major part of President Barack Obama’s historic health care overhaul is raising questions about other potential problems lurking in the homestretch.

The requirement that many employers provide coverage is just one part of a complex law. But its one-year postponement has taken administration allies and adversaries alike by surprise.

White House officials said Wednesday that the delay was firm and won’t be extended after a year — and that the overhaul will still be fully implemented by the time Obama leaves office. But the officials, who were not authorized to discuss internal deliberations on the record and spoke only on condition of anonymity, wouldn’t rule out delays or tweaks to other provisions.

The White House action means that some companies that would have offered health insurance next year to avoid fines will not do so now.

They’re mainly firms with many low-wage workers, such as restaurants, hotels and temporary staffing companies. The workers, however, will still be able to get coverage. Many may qualify for subsidized insurance through new marketplaces to debut Oct. 1, less than three months away.

The fact that new problems are popping up at this late stage could be a sign of additional troublesome issues ahead. It underscores a recent warning by the Government Accountability Office that the “timely and smooth” rollout of the new insurance markets can’t be guaranteed partly because much of the technology to run them hasn’t been fully tested.

The timing of the announcement was also widely mentioned.

“It’s understandable that when you announce a change in the law just before the Fourth of July holiday, it raises questions,” said Drew Altman, president of the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation. “Critics will jump on it and use it as more ammunition against the law.”

Egyptian army ousts embattled President Morsi —————————

Nation’s military now preparing for retaliation by ex-leader’s Islamist supporters

By Hamza Hendawi, Maggie Michael and Sarah El Deeb Associated Press

CAIRO — Egypt’s first democratically elected president was overthrown by the military Wednesday, ousted after just one year in office by the same kind of Arab Spring uprising that brought the Islamist leader to power.

The armed forces announced they would install a temporary civilian government to replace Islamist President Mohammed Morsi, who denounced the action as a “full coup” by the generals. They also suspended the Islamist-drafted constitution and called for new elections.

Millions of anti-Morsi protesters around the country erupted in celebrations Morsi after the televised announcement by the army chief. Fireworks burst over crowds in Cairo’s Tahrir Square, where men and women danced, shouting, “God is great” and “Long live Egypt.”

Fearing a violent reaction by Morsi’s Islamist supporters, troops and armored vehicles deployed in the streets of Cairo and elsewhere, surrounding Islamist rallies. Clashes erupted in several provincial cities when Islamists opened fire on police, with at least nine people killed, security officials said.

Gehad el-Haddad, a spokesman for the Muslim Brotherhood party, said Morsi was under house arrest at a Presidential Guard facility where he had been residing, and 12 presidential aides also were under house arrest.

The army took control of state media and blacked out TV stations operated by the Muslim Brotherhood.

The head of the Brotherhood’s political wing was arrested.

The ouster of Morsi throws Egypt on an uncertain course, with a danger of further confrontation.

It came after four days of mass demonstrations even larger than those of the 2011 Arab Spring that toppled longtime autocrat Hosni Mubarak.

FIREWORKS LIGHT THE SKY as opponents of Egypt’s former President Mohammed Morsi celebrate on Wednesday in Tahrir Square in Cairo, Egypt. The Egyptian military said it has replaced Morsi with the chief justice of the Supreme Constitutional Court, called for an early presidential election and suspended the Islamist-backed constitution.

Egyptians were angered that Morsi was giving too much power to his Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamists and had failed to tackle the country’s mounting economic woes.

Beyond the fears over violence, some protesters are concerned whether an army-installed administration can lead to real democracy.

President Barack Obama urged the military to hand back control to a democratic, civilian government as soon as possible but stopped short of calling it a coup d’etat.

He said he was “deeply concerned” by the military’s move to topple Morsi’s government and suspend Egypt’s constitution.

He said he was ordering the U.S. government to assess what the military’s actions meant for U.S. foreign aid to Egypt — $1.5 billion a year in military and economic assistance.

The U.S. wasn’t taking sides in the conflict, committing itself only to democracy and respect for the rule of law, Obama said.

On Monday, army chief Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi had given Morsi an ultimatum to find a solution

“

For the sake of Egypt and for historical accuracy, let’s call what is happening by its real name: military coup.”

Any deal was a near impossibility, however, making it inevitable the military would move.

As the deadline approached, el-Sissi met with pro-reform leader Mohammed ElBaradei, top Muslim cleric Sheik Ahmed el-Tayeb and Coptic Pope Tawadros II, as well as opposition activists and some members of the ultraconservative Salafi movements. The consultations apparently were aimed at bringing as wide a consen-

The Brotherhood boycotted the session, according to its political arm, the Freedom and Justice Party.

In a last-minute statement before the deadline, Morsi again rejected the military’s intervention, saying abiding by his electoral legitimacy was the only way to prevent violence.

He criticized the military for “taking only one side.”

HANOI, VIETNAM — An American doctor arrived in Vietnam carrying an unlikely piece of luggage: the bones of an arm he amputated in 1966.

Dr. Sam Axelrad brought the skeletal keepsake home to Texas as a reminder that when a badly injured North Vietnamese soldier was brought to him, he did the right thing and fixed him up.

The bones sat in a closet for decades, and when the Houston urologist finally pulled them out two years ago, he wondered about their true owner, Nguyen Quang Hung.

The men were reunited Monday at Hung’s home in central Vietnam. They met each other’s children, and grandchildren, and joked about which of them had been better-looking back when war had made them enemies. Hung was stunned that someone had kept his bones for so long but happy that when the time comes, they will be buried with him.

“I’m very glad to see him again and have that part of my body back after nearly half a century,” Hung said by telephone Monday after meeting Axelrad. “I’m proud to have shed my blood for my country’s reunification, and I consider myself very lucky compared with many of my comrades

to take sides,” he said in the statement issued by his office. “Justice dictates that the voice of the masses from all squares should be heard,” he said, repeating his offer to hold dialogue with his opponents.

“For the sake of Egypt and for historical accuracy, let’s call what is happening by its real name: military coup,” Morsi’s top foreign policy adviser Essam alHaddad wrote on his Facebook page.

After the deadline expired, el-Sissi went on state

Hung, 73, said American troops shot him in the arm in October 1966 during an ambush about 46 miles from An Khe, the town where he now lives. After floating down a stream to escape a firefight and then sheltering in a rice warehouse for three days, he was evacuated by a U.S. helicopter to a no-frills military hospital in Phu Cat, in central Binh Dinh province.

“When I was captured by the American forces, I was like a fish on a chopping board,” Hung said last week. “They could have either killed or

spared me.”

When Hung got to Axelrad, then a 27-yearold military doctor, his right forearm was the color of an eggplant. To keep the infection from killing his patient, Axelrad amputated the arm above the elbow.

After the surgery, Hung spent eight months recovering and another six assisting American military doctors, Hung said. He spent the rest of the war offering private medical services in the town and later served in local government for a decade before retiring on his rice farm.

“He probably thought

we were going to put him in some prisoner of war camp,” Axelrad said.

“Surely he was totally surprised when we just took care of him.”

As for the arm, Axelrad said his medic colleagues boiled off the flesh, reconstructed the arm bones and gave them to him. It was hardly common practice, but he said it was a reminder of a good deed performed.

The bones sat in a military bag in Axelrad’s closet for decades, along with other things from the war that he didn’t want look at because he didn’t want to relive those experiences.

by Mubarak but elevated to the chief justice post by Morsi and will be sworn in today.

Flanked by Muslim and Christian clerics as well as ElBaradei and two opposition activists, el-Sissi said a government of technocrats would be formed with “full powers” to run the country.

He promised “not to exclude anyone or any movement” from further steps.

But he did not define the length of the transition period or when presidential elections would be held. He also did not mention any role for the military.

The constitution, drafted

by Morsi’s Islamist allies, was “temporarily suspended,” and a panel of experts and representatives of all political movements will consider amendments, elSissi said. He did not say whether a referendum would be held to ratify the changes, as customary.

ElBaradei, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate and the former head of the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency, said he hoped the military plan “is the beginning of a new launch for the Jan. 25 revolution when people offered their dearest to restore their freedom, dignity and social justice for every Egyptian.”

Also appearing with elSissi was Mahmoud Badr, one of two representatives of Tamarod, or Rebel — the youth opposition movement that engineered the latest wave of protests. He urged protesters “to stay in the squares to protect what we have won.”

After the speech, fireworks burst over crowds dancing and waving flags in Cairo’s Tahrir Square, epicenter of the 2011 uprising.

Now it was one of multiple centers of a stunning fourday anti-Morsi revolt that brought out the biggest anti-government rallies Egypt has seen.

“Don’t ask me if I am happy. Just look around you at all those people, young and old. They are all happy,” said 25-year-old Mohammed Nageh, shouting to be heard in Tahrir. “For the first time, people have really won their liberty.”

om Swan Park in Baldwin City is getting a new look and an educational angle with a little help from the Douglas County Extension Master Gardeners.

The park is a small pocket of green space, behind the fountain and the Baldwin City Chamber of Commerce office on the northeast corner of Eighth and High streets. Last fall, a group of Master Gardeners who were also Baldwin City residents formed a partnership with the Baldwin City and the local Lion’s Club to improve the space.

Jane Akob, the Master Gardener who is leading the project, began volunteering in the park a few years ago with an interest in community service. As she went through training to become a Master Gardener in the fall of 2011, she started thinking about how the garden could become more than just a nice

space in which to relax or eat lunch.

The Master Gardeners were already maintaining two demonstration gardens in Lawrence (the Fairgrounds Demonstration Gardens and Monarch Waystation No. 1).

The goal of those gardens is to demonstrate sound plant choices and good gardening practices with labeled plantings and supplemental information. Akob conceived a plan to create a similar space in Tom Swan Park.

Thanks to Akob’s perseverance, visitors to the park will now see flowers that are recommended through Kansas State University’s Prairie Star and Prairie Bloom Flower programs such as lantana, sage, salvia, verbena and zinnias. The new Limelight and Oakleaf hydrangeas are on the soon-to-be-released recommended shrubs for Kansas list.

Additions of coneflower, beebalm, milkweed and fennel were made to improve the space for butterflies and their larvae, and the garden has been registered as a Monarch Waystation through KU’s Monarch Watch. Akob and the team of Master Gardeners who are volunteering in the garden are working to install plant labels, although planting has taken first priority so far this year.

“We really appreciate the support from the city and the community” Akob said. She notes that Baldwin City has

The Baldwin City Lions Club has covered most of the other improvements, along with two 2 private monetary donations and various plant, seed and material donations made by other Master Gardeners.

Arrowhead Hardware in Baldwin also supplied summer-flowering bulbs that

the Master Gardeners planted last week.

Rain barrels painted by students from the junior high school are a special feature of the garden. A nearby informational sheet explains how rain barrels work.

“This used to be a parking lot,” Akob points out.

“There’s a lot more to go, but we are really pleased with what has been accomplished.”

Tom Swan Park was dedicated in 1997. It is named for the late owner of the Baldwin Lumber Company, now the Lumberyard Arts Center, which is adjacent to the park.

Swan was also active in the community as a city council member.

KOVEL’S ANTIQUES

18th-century Chinese vases that aren’t Chinese at all

By Terry Kovel

THIS URN was thought to be a Chinese export piece made in the 1700s, but it was made by Jacob Petit in France. Raised white lines are found on his 19th-century pieces.

The names of antiques sometimes change as research corrects old errors.

In the 1930s, an auction house sold a pair of what were called “Lowestoft” vases that were large enough to put on a fireplace mantel. They were named after the English town where they were thought to have been made in the 18th century.

The vases had a traditional Chinese shape and were made of bluish-white porcelain decorated with a blue, green and orange coat of arms and slightly raised white scrolls. When the same vases were sold again

in the 1950s, they were described as “Chinese export porcelain” because experts had learned that in the mid1700s the Lowestoft factory was making early blue-andwhite English Delft souvenirs of regional interest, not porcelain like the vases.

Researchers also had learned that porcelain made in China in the 18th century was being exported to England and that some had made its way to Lowestoft. But the Chinese porcelain exported to the West back then, although very good, was not the top-quality porcelain made in China for wealthy Chinese families.

Some of the export pieces were plain, Chinese

porcelain with added new decorations like coats-ofarms or pictures of ships.

But there were also other problems with the pair of vases. The vases were not Chinese at all; they actually were copies made by Jacob Petit (1796-1868), who opened a shop in Paris in 1863.

Painted raised white scrolls are the clue to identifying Petit’s copies of Chinese export porcelain. Petit also made copies of Sevres, Meissen, English dinnerware and more. So be careful when looking for information about Chinese export or Lowestoft porcelain. Information in old books is not accurate. And often,

information online is from old books.

Present-day auctionhouse descriptions and information in recent publications usually is accurate. Jacob Petit copies of Chinese export porcelain are collected today. A single one of his vases is worth about $800.

Q:

My mother would like to know what her bound volume of “Frank Leslie’s Illustrated Newspaper” is worth.

The spine is marked “Vol. 1,” and the book includes issues dated from Dec. 15, 1855, to May 31, 1856.

The newspaper pages are large, about 12 by 16 inches.

A:

Bound volumes of Frank Leslie’s illustrated weekly, the first one published in the United States, often show up at shows and can be found for sale online. Leslie (1821-1880) was born in England and immigrated to the United States in 1848.

He was an engraver and illustrator before he became a publisher, and his many publications are wanted by collectors not only for their historical value, but also for their wood engravings and early photographs. The price your volume could sell for depends on condition of the binding and of the newspapers themselves. We have seen early volumes sell for $50 to $200.

OPINION

LAWRENCE JOURNAL-WORLD LJWorld.com Thursday, July 4, 2013

EDITORIALS

Free to disagree Amid unrest around the world, Americans should be grateful for a government solid enough to withstand dissenting views.

I

t’s easy to get frustrated with our American government, but a look around the world offers some good reminders of why U.S. democracy is worth celebrating on the Fourth of July and every other day of the year.

Americans certainly have reason to be disturbed by the partisan gridlock currently gripping the U.S. Congress, particularly the U.S. House. Too many of our elected representatives would rather take no action on a national issue than to accept anything that looks like a political compromise. Partisan victories are taking precedence over the nation’s welfare.

Some states, including Kansas, also are being wracked by partisan divisions.

Texas, for instance, has been the focus of attention in the last week for State. Sen. Wendy Davis’ dramatic filibuster that temporarily derailed legislation to add sweeping restrictions to the state’s abortion laws.

There’s no doubt that Americans on both ends of the political spectrum are frustrated and angry. With that in mind, the Fourth of July is an appropriate time to remind all Americans how fortunate we are to live in a country that allows us to freely express our frustration with the government and many of our elected officials. We also have the right — and duty — to participate in that government. In a way, it’s good that people are angry, because it means they are paying attention to their government and seeing a need to change things. The next step is to translate that anger into action by running for office or supporting candidates who share your priorities.

American democracy offers a framework and stability that has served the country well for more than 200 years.

Power moves smoothly from one set of leaders to another without violent protests or military coups, as so often happens in other parts of the world.

Americans have reason to be frustrated with the government right now, and our elected officials should hear that frustration and try to clean up their act.

This is a great country, but its greatness is built on a spirit of compromise and a willingness to put aside narrow political interests in order to move the country forward. A win for your party isn’t always a win for the nation.

American democracy may not be perfect, but it gives us an unprecedented opportunity to voice our opinions and institute change. It’s a precious institution worth protecting and celebrating.

Happy Fourth of July.

Mideast transition will take time WASHINGTON — “Authoritarianism in the name of Islam is dead,” one Egyptian activist messaged last Sunday, as millions gathered in the streets to denounce the rule of President Mohammed Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood government.

What happened over the next few days combined elements of a popular uprising and a military coup.

The mass protest against Morsi showed the strength of dissent. But the Egyptian army’s role in toppling Morsi Wednesday was a reminder that the danger of authoritarianism is still very much alive in the Middle East, whether it’s under religious or nationalist guise.

The United States has so far been largely irrelevant to events in Egypt. I wish the Obama administration had been doing more to back moderates in the Middle East, overall, but in Egypt, the U.S. deliberately played the role of mediator rather than decider.

The army wanted a public American “green light” for its coup, but it didn’t get one.

Perhaps the best thing that can be said on this July 4th is that the Egyptian people are writing their own history. They may be making mistakes along the way, and I wish we weren’t seeing a general in uniform seizing the stage again.

But for once, the Middle East conspiracy theorists who always see America as the controlling force in events seem to have been

“

Perhaps the best thing that can be said on this July 4th is that the Egyptian people are writing their own history.” wrong. President Obama has been a back-seat passenger.

The target of this week’s protests was Morsi, but the mass demonstrations recalled the giddy days of the February 2011 revolution that toppled President Hosni Mubarak.

The basic message was the same: We are citizens.

We want dignity and human rights. We aren’t afraid of autocratic leaders or their thugs. That revolt led to military rule, too, but its spirit was one of idealism and democracy.

“It’s a second revolution,” Ahmed Said, a leader of Egypt’s National Salvation Front, told the Guardian newspaper as this week’s protests began. He was right. The danger is that, as in the French, Russian and Iranian revolutions, we are in a prolonged period of violence and instability that will end only with a new dictator.

What’s fascinating about the new popular challenge to religious parties in the Middle East is that it transcends sectarian lines. The protest against the Muslim Brotherhood in Sunni Egypt is matched by a similar renewal of dissent in Shiite Iran, where the 2009 Green Revolution was crushed by government repression.

The unlikely emblem of change in Iran is Hassan Rouhani, who was elected president last month. He’s part of the clerical establishment that has run Iran for the past three decades. So it’s premature to assume that Rouhani’s election signals any breakthrough in stalled negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program.

But Rouhani’s victory does tell us something about the Iranian public mood: Among the six candidates who ran in the June 14 election, Rouhani was the most critical of the status quo; he called for reforms and new ties with the West.

The fact that he won 51 percent of the vote (with a 73 percent turnout) marked a break from the tutelage of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who appeared to favor national security adviser Saeed Jalili.

Protesters have also shaken the Islamic populism of Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan. He has been an “authoritarian rock star,” in the words William Dobson, the author of “The Dictator’s Learning Curve.”

But even Erdogan triggered a backlash after years of

squeezing the Turkish media, courts and military.

“The shared experience of repression, combined with collective frustration at mounting top-down efforts to regulate public life ... brought citizens from different walks of life together” in Turkey, wrote Emiliano Alessandri, Nora Fisher Onar and Ozgur Unluhisarcikli on the Foreign Affairs website.

The political culture of the Middle East has been broken for so many decades that it won’t be fixed easily or soon. With Morsi’s election in 2012, the Muslim Brotherhood had a chance to govern Egypt effectively.

It flunked the test, failing to fix the economy, provide security or reach out to the opposition. It was said that the Muslim Brotherhood’s political triumph was inevitable because it was the only powerful political force. Not anymore.

On America’s Independence Day, we celebrate the triumph of our democracy.

But David McCullough reminds us in his book “1776” that in January of that revolutionary year, George Washington despaired that “few people know the predicament we are in.”

It took America another 12 years to write and ratify a workable Constitution. In the Middle East, the convulsive democratic transition is just beginning.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for July 4, 1913: YEARS “Lawrence is enAGO joying a holiday IN 1913 today. Not the noisy Fourth of July as of old, just a holiday. To be sure the Fourth was given a rousing welcome last night upon its arrival but it was not the noisy welcome that the day would have received ten or fifteen years ago.

The safe and sane idea has taken well with Lawrence. Business was practically suspended today and everyone made plans to get out to Woodland Park early...

Freedom requires ongoing attention “Posterity! You will never know how much it cost the present generation to preserve your freedom. I hope you will make good use of it.” — John Quincy Adams Freedom is not the default position of humankind; otherwise more would be free. In much of the world, dictatorship, religious persecution and the suppression of women are the norm.

Freedom has a price. Its currency is the blood of those who paid the bill.

They can be found at Arlington, Normandy and scores of other places of rest where Americans died so that others might live in freedom.

If a nation is unwilling to pay the price for freedom, freedom dies. As Ronald Reagan observed, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”

Threats to freedom come

Who in our increasingly fractured country speaks of the general welfare? We are now mostly subsumed into groups.

Identity politics is replacing our national identity.”

not just from foreign powers or domestic terrorists. Subtler enemies can enslave us.

These come from a focus on self: my rights, my pleasures, my money, to the exclusion of what benefits the whole, or as the Founders put it, “promotes the general welfare.”

Who in our increasingly fractured country speaks of the general welfare? We are now mostly subsumed into groups. Identity politics is replacing our national identity. We are hyphen-

ated Americans, divided by language, gender, race, class and orientation. Few are willing to stand up and point the way to what should unify us by embracing what is objectively right and good. Any political leader who attempts to define right and good can be subjected to an attack ad and stereotyping.

We are hastily exchanging real freedom for license, which is unfettered morality and as dangerous as setting sail without a rudder.

At best, freedom ought to be about doing good for one’s self, and especially for others. Sacrifice does not always require one to give up something. It can also lead to an investment in the life of another person, which collectively contributes to the health of the nation. It goes beyond paying taxes. It is, as John F. Kennedy noted, asking what you can do for your country.

What does that mean? At the least it should reflect the words from one of our great patriotic hymns: “Who more than self their country loved.”

Find one poor person who wants help and liberate them from poverty. If you are prolife, volunteer at a women’s pregnancy help center to

save babies and help women, freeing them from the difficult circumstances that cause many to seek an abortion. If you think government is too big, become more responsible for yourself and rely less on Washington. This means living within your means and investing wisely. It’s called self-reliance, which is one’s own declaration of independence.

That which constrains us from being seduced by our lower nature is what guarantees our freedom. For some it is Scripture. For all Americans it should be the Constitution. In 1878, British statesman William Gladstone called the U.S. Constitution, “the most wonderful work ever struck off at a given time by the brain and purpose of man.”

That document flowed from the Declaration of Independence, which presumed the existence of “our Creator,” the ultimate source of freedom and our rights.

Abandoning these threatens freedom.

On this, the 237th birthday of America, we would do well to remember the meaning of freedom and why it must be renewed by every generation if it is to endure.

Leaps&bounds KANSAS BASKETBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Light fuse, get away ——

Ten KU athletes who will pack wallop Fireworks, banned in Lawrence. Human fireworks shows, more than welcome.

A particularly interesting crop of explosive newcomers will light things up in Kansas University athletic contests this coming school year. A look at some of the must-see shows debuting during the 2013-14 school year: 1. Andrew Wiggins: On his first play in front of a Lawrence audience, Wiggins dunked over an NBA center (Cole Aldrich), which sent expectations soaring as high as he did on the play that burned in the minds of every KU fan with access to YouTube. Thanks to Wiggins, a basketball ticket figures to be even tougher to land than usual.

2. Marquel Combs: Explosive off the line of scrimmage. Explosive personality. The leader of a junior-college class of recruits that could be pared by behavior issues, injuries and academic concerns, none of that will erode the considerable enthusiasm the highly recruited defensive tackle brings to the program.

3. Dakota and Dylan Gonzalez: The twins from Idaho haven’t played a basketball game for Bonnie Henrickson’s team yet, but they already are super famous in cyberspace, where pictures of them are easy to find and some might even say difficult to put down. Internet speculation about their dating lives captivates huge audiences. Might Dylan be seeing former Kentucky star Anthony Davis? Inquiring minds want to know. If the twins prove as popular in person as online, the KU women could break attendance records, regardless of their won-loss record. To get a feel for their personalities, check out their Q&A on blacksportsonline.com.

5. Wayne Selden: Wiggins cast such a huge shadow, but not so big as to crowd Selden completely out of the limelight. Powerful perimeter player tickles the twine with his jumper and rattles the rim with his slams.

6. Justin McCay: Wide receiver and Oklahoma transfer is not a world-class sprinter, but he’s not slow, either. What he is is dynamic and physical and adept at making acrobatic catches.

His personality lights up a room.

7. Cassie Wait: An UnderArmour High School AllAmerican and the Gatorade Kansas Volleyball Player of the Year, Wait showed off her explosiveness in setting the state meet record in the pole vault, on the basketball and volleyball courts and in the classroom, where she was a straight-A student at Gardner-Edgerton.

8. Colin Spencer: Two athletes looked like the fastest on the field during a spring practice open to the media. One was Tony Pierson, the other Spencer.

He’ll back up Pierson, and when the ball is in his hands, don’t take your eyes off of him. His performance at a Nike combine blew away the competition. He ran a 4.42 40, and his vertical leap

KANSAS UNIVERSITY FORWARD JUSTIN WESLEY WATCHES AS CAMPERS WORK on setting picks during the Cole Aldrich basketball camp on June 24 at Olathe Northwest High.

Wesley works to earn playing time

By Jesse Newell jnewell@ljworld.com

Kansas University men’s basketball freshman Andrew Wiggins might have some competition for the top vertical jump on the team.

KU senior forward Justin Wesley says his vertical has been measured this year at 45 inches — up from 42 inches a year ago.

“I don’t know what Wiggins’ is. We’ll see,” Wesley said with a smile. “But I’d still say I jump the highest on the team.”

Athleticism hasn’t been the

problem for Wesley, a 6-foot9, 220-pound transfer from Lamar.

Wesley still was limited to just 68 minutes a year ago, partly because of injuries and partly because of a limited offensive arsenal.

In his fourth year at KU — he red-shirted in 2010-11 — the Fort Worth, Texas, native says he’s working hard to become a more complete player.

“I’ve been in the gym working on my shot, trying to get that better,” Wesley said.

“Just having the mentality that I can score and that I can play, that’s helped me a lot. Confi-

dence takes you a lot further than you think.”

The lack of faith in his offensive game showed in last year’s statistics.

According to StatSheet. com, Wesley attempted just 4.3 percent of KU’s shots when he was on the floor. To compare, the average shot percentage for a player is 20 percent; forward Jamari Traylor had the second-lowest shot percentage on the team, and he was still at 12.9 percent.

This offseason, Wesley has made 250 shots per day — both mid-range and longrange, which includes three-

pointers — in addition to the reps he gets during individual drills with coaches.

His improved skill set was evident in the second camp scrimmage on June 19, when he scored 14 points for the red squad, with many of those points coming on jump shots.

“I just wanted to come out and be aggressive,” Wesley said. “Honestly, I didn’t know that I played that well.”

Wesley also has been motivated by his older brother, former KU guard Keith Langford.

Texas prep has KU on long list

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Prize big-man prospect Myles Turner, who is ranked No. 6 nationally in the recruiting Class of 2014 by Rivals.com, had an ESPN reporter reveal his current list of 26 schools via Twitter on Wednesday.

The final 26 for the 6-foot-11, 225-pound senior from Trinity High in Euless, Texas, courtesy of ESPN’s Reggie Rankin: Kansas University, plus Arizona, Arkansas, Baylor, Connecticut, Duke, Georgetown, Indiana, Kansas State, Kentucky, Louisville, Marquette, Miami, North Carolina, N.C. State, Ohio

State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Oregon, SMU, Stanford, Texas, Texas A&M, UT-Arlington, UCLA and UNLV. “Reggie Rankin has my updated list of 26 ... will trim to about 10 schools at the end of this month ... taking this time to do research and not keeping other schools lingering ...

Out of respect,” Turner said on Twitter.

He added: “Interest has been trimmed but my window is still open to new recruiters but I have a SMALL window for schools that have not yet began the process.”

Firebirds cram at camp ————

FSHS boys basketball holds short but intense workouts

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Most summers, Free State High boys basketball coach Chuck Law likes to get team camp week done early.

With so many of his players participating in football, too, Law didn’t want to give them too many things to worry about at once in football-heavy June.

As it worked out, the first three days of July were really the only doable option.

So the Firebirds — some with state tournament experience, some just out of middle school — spent three straight nights jam-packing all the hoops they could Please see KEEGAN, page 5B into their three-night camp,

which concluded Wednesday.

Law considered having them come in on Independence Day as well but backed away from that idea like a freshly lit firework.

“I figured there would be a mutiny,” Law joked. “Knowing the guys in this gym, I’m guessing they’re gonna spend most of the day (on the Fourth of July) blowing stuff up.”

Free State’s veterans put aside their love for pyrotechnics when they were in the gym. Law needed seniors Cole Moreano, Reshawn Caro, Innocent Anavberokhai, Khadre Lane, Keith Loneker and Blake Winslow and junior Weston

Hack setting examples for the program’s youngsters, who might not be used to the style of play that goes on at the Class 6A varsity level.

“The older guys like to compete against one another,” Law said. “It doesn’t really matter what we’re doing (in terms of drills) as far as those guys are concerned.

They’re gonna get after each other, which is nice.”

Moreano said most of the camp time revolved around drills instead of scrimmaging, but the returning varsity players knew they had to use John Young/Journal-World Photo those opportunities to beat the guys across from them FREE STATE’S COLE MOREANO GOES IN FOR A LAYUP during drills that were every time they could. part of a Free State basketball camp Please see FSHS, page 5B Wednesday in the Free State gym.

Celtics hire Butlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Stevens as coach BOSTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Boston Celtics keep getting younger â&#x20AC;&#x201D; on the coaching staff as well as the court.

Less than a week after agreeing to trade Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce to the Brooklyn Nets â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and 10 days after shipping coach Doc Rivers to the Los Angeles Clippers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Celtics hired Butlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brad Stevens as their next head coach.

Stevens, 36, twice led the Bulldogs to the NCAA title game but has no NBA experience as a player or coach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Brad and I share a lot of the same values,â&#x20AC;? Celtics general manager Danny Ainge said in a release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Though he is young,

I see Brad as a great leader who leads with impeccable character and a strong work ethic. His teams always play hard and execute on Stevens both ends of the court. Brad is a coach who has already enjoyed lots of success, and I look forward to working with him towards Banner 18.â&#x20AC;?

Stevens has spent the last six years as the coach of Butler, leading the Bulldogs to backto-back national championship games in 2010 and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;11. He has a

career winning percentage of .772 and never won fewer than 22 games in a season.

He takes over a team that is three seasons removed from an appearance in the NBA finals; the Celtics won their unprecedented 17th championship in 2008. But with Garnett and Pierce showing signs of slowing down in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playoffs, when Boston was eliminated by the New York Knicks in the first round, Ainge has decided to rebuild.

He allowed Rivers to take over the Clippers, extracting a first-round draft choice in return. Amid last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s NBA Draft, the Celtics and Nets agreed to a deal that would send

Garnett and Pierce to Brooklyn in exchange for a package of players along with three firstround draft picks.

Now Stevens, who is younger than Garnett, will be the one to work with those players. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our family is thrilled for the opportunity given to us by the leadership of the Boston Celtics, but it is emotional to leave a place that we have called home for the past 13 years,â&#x20AC;? Stevens said in a release issued by the university. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We truly love Butler University and Indianapolis, and are very thankful to have had the opportunity to celebrate so many wonderful things together.â&#x20AC;?

Cavendish captures stage 5 MARSEILLE, FRANCE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mark Cavendish finally shook off an illness and a drop in form to earn his 24th career stage win at the Tour de France on Wednesday and close the gap on rival Peter Sagan for the top sprinterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s green jersey.

The British sprinter relinquished his green jersey to Sagan last year and trails the Slovak again.

But by winning the fifth stage, Cavendish Cavendish closed within 35 points of his rival, who finished third in the crash-marred trek to the southern seaport of Marseille. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now the pressureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s off, and hopefully it has started the ball rolling,â&#x20AC;? Cavendish said.

Australian veteran Simon Gerrans kept the overall leaderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s yellow jersey by avoiding two crashes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the first as riders neared the end of the stage and the second moments after Cavendish had comfortably beaten Norwegian Edvald Boasson Hagen in their dash to the line. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a matter of the course being dangerous.

Today we had huge roads, (a) big wide run-in, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still crashes,â&#x20AC;? Gerrans said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think dangerous finishes cause crashes, but today that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the case whatsoever.â&#x20AC;?

Cavendish made a poor start to the Tour while he struggled with a cold. He watched his Omega Pharma-QuickStep squad lose the team time trial Tuesday by less than a second to Gerransâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Orica Greenedge squad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still suffering a bit. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a lot better but still not 100 percent,â&#x20AC;? Cavendish said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Finally, after the disappointment of the first stage and (losing by) less than a second yesterday, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got the account open.â&#x20AC;?

With a few hundred meters to go, Cavendish stayed behind his teammate Gert Steegmansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wheel and got into a perfect position to hold off Boasson Hagen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To be fair, today the sprint wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t too difficult for me,â&#x20AC;?

Cavendish said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have lost that today, I would have let the guys down.â&#x20AC;?

The 84-year-old Andre Darrigade, who won 22 Tour stages as a sprinter, warmly greeted Cavendish after his win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Really, really a true gent,â&#x20AC;?

Cavendish said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud to have met him.â&#x20AC;?

Cavendish needs one more stage win to tie Andre Leducq for third on the all-time list of stage winners at the 110-yearold race â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which is celebrating its 100th edition â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and he could do that on Thursday as stage six again favors sprinters.

That would put him within range of Bernard Hinaultâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 28 wins, the second-highest total after Eddie Merckxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s imperious record of 34. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to show the Tour de France the respect it deserves. One stage (win) on the Tour de France makes a riderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career, let alone one stage every year,â&#x20AC;? Cavendish said.

ANDY MURRAY REACTS DURING HIS quarterfinal match at Wimbledon on Wednesday in London. Murray defeated Fernando Verdasco, 4-6, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4, 7-5.

Murray rallies to reach Wimbledon semifinals LONDON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Andy Murray had all of Britain on edge for five sets.

Juan Martin del Potro only took five points to get the fans buzzing at Wimbledon.

Two victories in two very different matches Wednesday sent Murray and del Potro onto the semifinals at the All England Club.

Murray completed his seventh career comeback from two sets down to top Fernando Verdasco, 4-6, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4, 7-5. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Made some bad mistakes, poor choices on the court,â&#x20AC;? Murray said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And then, I turned it around really well after that.â&#x20AC;?

Earlier on Centre Court, del Potro hyperextended his left knee and crumpled to the ground on the fifth point, but shook off the injury for a 6-2, 6-4, 7-6 (5) victory over No. 4 David Ferrer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To be honest, I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to retire (being) in the quarters for first time at Wimbledon,â&#x20AC;? del Potro said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the reason for continuing play. The doctors gave me good anti-inflammatories.â&#x20AC;?

Del Potroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next match is Friday against No. 1 Novak Djokovic, who took down No. 7 Tomas Berdych, 7-6 (5), 6-4, 6-3, on Court 1.

Murray will play No. 24 Jerzy Janowicz, a 7-5, 6-4, 6-4 winner over Lukasz Kubot in the first Grand Slam meeting between two Polish men.

Going against the 54th-ranked Verdasco, Murray certainly made things interesting for the British fans, looking for one of their own to call a Wimbledon champion for the first time in 77 years. He dropped the first two sets, unable to handle Verdascoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pinpoint serves that reached as high as 136 mph.

Slowly, he crept back into the match. In the sixth game of the fourth set, Murray saved a pair of break points â&#x20AC;&#x201D; first with a service winner, then with one of his 13 aces. Three games later, he broke Verdasco, then served out the set. In the fifth set, the players held serve for 10 straight games. In the 11th, Murray broke, then served out the match at love.

PRO BASKETBALL

Ginobili staying with Spurs SAN ANTONIO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Manu Ginobili is sticking around to see if the San Antonio Spurs can get back to the top.

Ginobili tweeted Wednesday that he is staying with the team he has helped win three NBA titles and nearly a fourth last month.

SOCCER

Sporting KC, Vancouver draw KANSAS CITY, KAN. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Camilo Sanvezzo scored on a free kick just before halftime, and the Vancouver Whitecaps played to a 1-1 draw with Sporting Kansas City on Wednesday night.

The Whitecaps (7-5-5) extended their unbeaten stretch to four.

Aurelien Collin scored in the 35th minute on a putback of his own blocked shot for Sporting (7-5-6), which is unbeaten in its last three but has won just once in the last seven matches.

Sanvezzo tied it in the 45th as he put his dipping shot in the upper right corner for his teamleading 10th goal of the season.

Sporting had a chance to go ahead in the 76th, but Graham Zusiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s low shot smacked off the left post after beating goalkeeper Brad Knighton.

BASEBALL

Rangers sign Ramirez ARLINGTON, TEXAS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Texas Rangers have signed Manny Ramirez to minor-league contract.

Ramirez spent three months playing in Taiwan for the Rhinos before leaving the team on June 20. The Rangers made the announcement Wednesday.

Ramirez hit .352 with eight homers and 43 RBIs for the Rhinos. The team tried to keep the 12-time All-Star, but the 41-year-old slugger wanted to return to his family in New York.

Ramirezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last major-league appearance was with Tampa Bay in 2011. He was suspended for 50 games in 2009 while with the Dodgers after testing positive for a banned drug. He retired in April 2011 instead of serving a 100-game ban for a second positive test, but later agreed to a reduced 50-game suspension and played in the minors for Oakland in 2012.

Ramirez is 14th on the career home runs list with 555.

KU football lands juco offensive tackle

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

With the 2013 season just two months away, Kansas University’s football program is still adding bodies to its 2013 recruiting class.

Late Wednesday, KU announced the addition of El Camino Community College offensive lineman Pearce Slater, a 6-foot-

The two talk on the phone often.

“He’s just told me, ‘You’ve been there four years now, going into your fifth year (of college).

There’s nothing that’s going to get thrown at you that you haven’t encountered before,’” Wesley said. “‘You’re one of the older guys in the game right now. Just enjoy it, have fun and be confident.

Just know that you can play the game.’”

In scrimmages, Wesley has enjoyed going against KU’s talented newcomers, which include Tarik Black, Joel Embiid and Wiggins.

All three have the chance to be future NBA pros.

“Since I’ve been here, this is the most athletic team I’ve been on,” Wesley said. “I don’t know exactly who we’re getting compared to, but I’m very excited about this year.

I don’t think there’s very

Turner recently performed well at the Nike Big Man camp.

“I feel like I set myself apart,” Turner told ESPN. com’s Dave Telep. “I was one of the hardest workers there. When we were going through the drills, I felt like I was trying to get better. Overall it was a great experience. I thought I did well against (camp counselor) Anthony Davis.”

Telep added: “Turner is a stud. Defensively, he’s the best rim protector in the class. He can score, he’s still improving, and when it all comes together, look out. He’s already passed Karl Towns Jr. (6-10 Kentucky commit ranked No. 9) in my mind with his performance at NBPA, and he has big men Trey Lyles (6-10, Indianapolis Arsenal Tech, No. 5), Cliff Alexander (6-8 Chicago Curie, No. 4) and Jahlil Okafor (6-10, Chicago Whitney Young, No. 1) in front of him. Passing those guys would be significant. This late bloomer

many teams out there as athletic as us.

“As long as we come together as a team and play unselfishly together, I think we’ll be pretty good.”

Wesley also knows the reality of the situation. Because KU coach Bill Self has brought in so much front-court talent, the opportunity to get minutes might be limited.

“However coach Self plays me, or whatever he does, I trust him,” Wesley said. “He’s very successful. Right now, I’m just trying to get better in all areas. However he sees how I fit the puzzle, then I’m OK with that.”

Wesley knows — on the court or not — he has a valuable role to play for this year’s team.

“The least (that) I want to do now is help the younger guys and try to be a leader, either by example or vocally or whatever it takes to be a leader,” Wesley said. “I’m a senior, last go-around, so I want to leave with an impression on these guys, and I want to help them be the best they can be.”

Self, Shields team up for charity: Royals pitcher James Shields and KU coach Bill Self on Wednesday at KC’s Kauffman Stadium recorded a publicservice announcement to raise awareness for fostercare programs for youth.

“The main thing is hopefully we can find some good families for these kids and create some good memories for them,” Shields told the Associated Press. “I mean, a lot of the memories they have aren’t very good, so if we can create some good ones, that’s all that really matters to us.”

Shields this season will host 250 foster children and their families at Royals games in a reserved section at Kauffman Stadium.

“It’s awesome he got to come out and do this with me,” Shields said of Self, who serves on the board of KVC Health Systems, a nonprofit organization that provides health care, social services and education to children and families.

“I know that James is really involved and has

to KU in August in time for most of fall camp. He will have three years of eligibility remaining.

KU was one of the first schools to offer Slater a scholarship, and the early interest along with continued energy from assistant coaches Jeff Blasko and Tim Grunhard and head coach Charlie Weis made quite an impression.

“I am very excited to get to Kansas and compete,” Slater told Jon Kirby of JayhawkSlant.com.

“The coaches told me I could help right away, but I know I have to get in there and work. I have to see what it is like to adjust. Coming from junior college to Division I, there will be an adjustment, but I am ready for it.”

A baseball lifer, Free State High pitching coach Layne Meyer is about to expand his coaching résumé.

Pending school board approval, Meyer is set to take over as head coach of the Firebirds’ girls golf program.

“I love the game of golf, and I hope I have a lot to offer as a coach,” Meyer said.

“It’s a new challenge but one I’m enthusiastic about.”

In his high school days at Parkway West (Ballwin, Mo.), Meyer pitched for the Class 4A state-title team in 1996. From there, a junior-college baseball stop in Florida turned into a scholarship at the University of South Alabama.

The tall right-hander was drafted twice, by Tampa and Boston, but never made it to the big leagues.

His playing career ended in 2003 with the Gateway Grizzlies, an in-

dependent club located in Sauget, Ill. The next spring, he became an assistant baseball coach at Free State. That’s when Meyer realized how much he enjoys working with student-athletes and helping them achieve their personal goals.

Though baseball had dominated his life, Meyer picked up golf along the way, and it became a serious hobby “It’s a way for me to release my Meyer competitive edge,” Meyer said.

“It’s such a tough game.

It’s a challenge. I’ve picked up a lot about the game over time.”

Grateful to take over the FSHS girls golf program, Meyer hopes to share the knowledge he has gained

both Rivals.com and JCFootball.com. He is the 55th-rated junior-college prospect according to 247Sports.com, including ranking as the 10th-best offensive tackle and the 16th-best prospect in California.

He becomes the fifth offensive lineman and 21st junior-college pick-up in KU’s 2013 class.

campus. The Philadelphia Phillies drafted him in the 11th round, and he must sign by July 12 to join the Phillies’ organization. Signing bonuses have dipped, since new salary rules were implemented, so Kansas has a better shot than it would have a couple of years ago. Plus, Keys’ potential is so considerable, it’s possible he might have the confidence to believe that after three years of growth and refining his pitches, he could become a first-round draft choice and really cash in. A Denver Post story about Keys during the state playoffs said he had four no-hitters as a senior, limited hitters to a .051 batting average against, did not allow an earned run in 38 innings and had five walks and 97 strikeouts. He led his team to the Class 2A state championship.

a sincere interest in providing opportunities for kids and helping to spearhead those opportunities through foster care. I’m happy to be a part of it,” Self said.

He visited with Royals players before the KCCleveland game.

“People take for granted because they’re around it all the time, but being in a big-league ballpark and being down on the field is what kids dream of. I still get chills,” Self said while sitting in the Royals dugout. He called himself “a below-average shortstop (in high school) that could put the bat on the ball pretty good.”

Of KU, Shields said: “Ever since I’ve been here, I’ve been watching KU, and they run a really nice program over there.”

Rush on market?: Yahoo!Sports’ Adrian Wojnarowski reports that the NBA’s Golden State Warriors recently looked into trading David Lee and former KU forward Brandon Rush to Portland for LaMarcus Aldridge.

Robinson take: How is the Thomas Robinson deal being received in

with the varsity golfers.

Free State athletic director Mike Hill said the school’s girls golf coaching position will be split — with Meyer handling the varsity and Jennifer Schmidt working with junior varsity. Schmidt teaches Spanish at FSHS, and Meyer has worked with special-education students at Free State as an integrated-studies teacher since 2005.

Last fall, Meyer spent time with the girls golfers, taking the team to different tournaments and helping out at practices.

“I’m excited about the core of girls that are returning,” he said. “I just want to improve upon the success they had last year.”

One thing the new coach would like to see is more players in the program.

“That’s gonna be a challenge, and it’s one that I want to take on,” Meyer said.

Dear Readers: Happy July 4th! While you’re grilling hot dogs, scooping potato salad and spending the day with family and friends, please remember the reason we celebrate this day. Here’s one of our favorite pieces, originally written in 1955 as a public relations advertisement for the Norfolk and Western Railway company magazine (now the Norfolk Southern Corporation) and updated in 1976.

Although some of the statistics have changed over the years, the sentiment remains the same: “I Am the Nation” by Otto Whittaker I was born on July 4, 1776, and the Declaration of Independence is my birth certificate. The bloodlines of the world run in my veins, because I offered freedom to the oppressed. I am many things and many people. I am the nation.

I am 250 million living souls — and the ghost of millions who have lived

and died for me. I am Nathan Hale and Paul Revere.

I stood at Lexington and fired the shot heard around the world. I am Washington, Jefferson and Patrick Henry. I am John Paul Jones, the Green Mountain Boys and Davy Crockett. I am Lee and Grant and Abe Lincoln.

I remember the Alamo, the Maine and Pearl Harbor. When freedom called, I answered and stayed until it was over, over there.

I left my heroic dead in Flanders Field, on the rock of Corregidor, on the bleak slopes of Korea and in the steaming jungle of Viet-

I am the Brooklyn Bridge, the wheat lands of Kansas and the granite hills of Vermont. I am the coalfields of the Virginias and Pennsylvania, the fertile lands of the West, the Golden Gate and the Grand Canyon. I am Independence Hall, the Monitor and the Merrimac.

I am big. I sprawl from the Atlantic to the Pacific — my arms reach out to embrace Alaska and Hawaii. I am more than five million farms. I am forest, field, mountain and desert.

I am quiet villages — and cities that never sleep.

You can look at me and see Ben Franklin walking down the streets of Philadelphia with his breadloaf under his arm. You can see Betsy Ross with her needle. You can see the lights of Christmas and hear the strains of “Auld Lang Syne” as the calendar turns.

I am Babe Ruth and the World Series. I am 110,000 schools and colleges and

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Thursday, July 4 This year you sense a change.

You might want to end an intolerable situation, especially if you have been working with it for more than 11 years. If you are single, you attract many potential suitors. If you are attached, the two of you will enter a period of greater compassion.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) Listen to news with an open mind. You might feel as if you have pushed someone in your personal life too hard. Tonight: Be with friends.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You might be a little too involved with money for your taste.

Nevertheless, it is a crucial part of your life. Tonight: Your treat.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Surprises will come in from out of left field. You could wonder which way to proceed.

Tonight: As you like it.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Know that much could be going on behind the scenes. You might think you know all the details. Listen and observe, and note that there is a hush-hush matter going on. Tonight: Enjoy the fireworks.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You thrive among groups and crowds. The unexpected easily can dissolve a situation into a chaotic misunderstanding. Tonight: Where you want to be, but not alone.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) The only way to lessen pressure is to understand where it is coming from. You might have made

330,000 churches where my people worship God as they think best. I am a ballot dropped into a box, the roar of a crowd in a stadium and the voice of a choir in a cathedral. I am an editorial in a newspaper and a letter to a Congressman.

I am Eli Whitney and Stephen Foster. I am Tom Edison, Albert Einstein and Billy Graham. I am Horace Greeley, Will Rogers and the Wright Brothers. I am George Washington Carver, Jonas Salk and Martin Luther King Jr. I am Longfellow, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Walt Whitman and Thomas Paine.

Yes, I am the nation and these are the things that I am. I was conceived in freedom and, God willing, in freedom I will spend the rest of my days.

May I possess always the integrity, the courage and the strength to keep myself unshackled, to remain a citadel of freedom and a beacon of hope to the world. jacquelinebigar.com

a judgment subconsciously about what someone said. Tonight: Check in with a friend.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might be making plans to get away, as you could be unsure of your choices and the direction in which you’re heading.

You will feel more complete after a discussion. Tonight: With friends.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Work with an individual directly. You will find that most issues can be resolved in this manner.

Tonight: Make time for a special friend.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Defer to a partner, who really does mean well. There are many reasons to do this, and there also might be a natural benefit that you won’t see or understand immediately. Tonight: Lighten the mood.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your determination to bring a project to its natural ending remains your major focus. Woe to those who attempt to interfere — even if it is a holiday! Tonight: Say “yes” to an invitation.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Your sense of mischief emerges. Handling even a serious matter might be difficult. For all practical purposes, consider taking tomorrow off. Tonight: Let down your hair.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Without intending to, you could cast a haze over the clearest of situations. Confusion often prevents you from dealing with major issues. Tonight: Go party hopping!
