TOPEKA — While much has been written and said about the tax cuts signed into law

by Gov. Sam Brownback, not much has been mentioned about a tax increase that is part of that legislation.

“Step one, what actually takes place on our proposal and what we put in, is actually a tax increase, and it’s a severance tax increase,” Brownback said recently.

The measure repealed the state’s 24-month severance tax exemption for gas wells and oil wells that produce more than 50 barrels of oil per day. Only production after Brownback June 30 is affected.

This is expected to generate additional severance tax revenue of $18 million in the current fiscal year and $45 million in the next, according to the Kansas Department of Revenue.

Despite the tax increase, there was little

Six years ago, her left foot was severed in a mowing accident, but she hasn’t let that deter her from doing whatever she wants to do.

She runs, swims, participates in gymnastics and pageants, and plays softball, and she’s good at all of them, especially pageants.

The Eudora girl began competing in them when she was 4, and she has accumulated eight crowns and two dozen trophies. In mid-July, she will make her third trip to the national Our Diamond Miss Pageant in Chickasha, Okla.

— Donna Foster, mother of Alexis Foster Her mother, Donna Foster, said the pageants are not like those portrayed on the reality television series “Toddlers & Tiaras.”

There’s not as much makeup or fighting. Instead, the girls and their families support each other and often become good friends.

For Alexis, the pageants also have played an important part in her healing process.

“She can be in the pret-

tiest dress, and it doesn’t matter,” Donna said.

The pageant includes a photo portfolio, modeling, talent and interview competition. She said the judges will ask her about her favorite color, animal or place to visit. One time, they asked who she would like to be for a day, and her response was Avril Lavigne.

“She’s so cool and she’s a rock star and she’s awesome and she’s my hero,” Alexis said.

For the talent competition, she sings. She belted out “Part of Me” by Katy Perry for the state contest but plans to sing “Second Hand Rose” by Barbra

Proposed city budget anticipates revenue loss

Pavement markings, like crosswalks and turn lanes, are going to get clearer in Lawrence. The future of a key state tax that helps pay for such street maintenance activities is not.

The budget includes both good news and bad news for the ever-popular topic of street maintenance.

“We hope voters are as educated as possible,” Lampe said.

Registration can be done online through https://

www.kdor.org/voterregistration/, where applications are also available to print. It can also be filed at the Douglas County Courthouse, 1100 Mass., or mailed there.

issue to slow growth in the industry in Kansas.

Kansas has seen an increase in oil production for five of the past six years.

“It’s a robust industry in the state of Kansas,” Cross said.

And Kansas officials are drooling over the potential economic impact of fracking and horizontal drilling in southern and western Kansas to revive an area that was tapped out by vertical drilling years ago.

“The potential economic benefits to Kansas could be significant, resulting in hundreds of wells drilled, billions of dollars in investment, thousands of jobs and industry activity in the Mississippian Lime Play for the next 20 to 30 years,” according to the Kansas Department of Commerce.

Opposition to the severance tax increase was probably muted by other provisions of the bill that will benefit businesses.

The measure also eliminates state income taxes on nonwage income for the owners of partnerships, S corporations and limited liability companies.

Brownback has said that change will stimulate the economy like an adrenaline shot to the heart. Critics have said it is a tax

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD giveaway that will deal a significant blow to state efforts to fund education and social services.

In addition, the new law will cut the individual income tax rates of 6.45 percent, 6.25 percent and 3.5 percent to just two rates at 4.9 percent and 3 percent.

Legislative research staff have said the total tax cuts will remove $4.5 billion from the state treasury over six years from a state budget that currently stands at approximately $6.6 billion per year.

House Democratic Leader Paul Davis of Lawrence has been a vocal critic of the tax cuts signed into law by Brownback.

He said the severance tax increase is also off base.

“There are numerous oil and natural gas companies wanting to pursue increased exploration and drilling in Kansas. This is great news for the nearly 100,000 Kansans that are looking for jobs,” Davis said. “Unfortunately, the governor doesn’t seem to see it that way. He seems intent on creating more reasons for these companies to look to other states for business opportunities, and that just doesn’t make any sense to me.”

ALEXIS FOSTER, 9, OF EUDORA, PARTICIPATES in a variety of sports despite suffering a severed foot in a mowing accident when she was 2. She also has taken home more than two-dozen pageant trophies. Participating in pageants has helped give her confidence, and she believes there’s nothing that she can’t do.

“It was horrible, absolutely horrible. I replay it too much in my head,” she said.

Debbie, who operates a home day care, had taken first aid classes the week before the accident, so she did the best she could to stop the bleeding as they waited for help to arrive.

Alexis was taken by helicopter to Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo., where doctors decided it would be best not to send her elsewhere to have the foot reattached. They opted to save what they could as quickly as possible.

She spent five weeks in the hospital and had 14 surgeries. Within weeks, she was back at home and started walking again.

“When she first started walking, she would walk on the side of it,” said Phil Foster, her father. “After one week of physical therapy, she was walking heel to toe and then just started running. Most people who see her do not notice it at all.”

Alexis either wears different-sized shoes or uses a prosthesis to get around when she’s not barefoot.

Her parents said she is constantly surprising doc-

tors who said she was lucky to be alive. #"#"#

Piano competition tests composure of young musicians

FOURTEEN-YEAR-OLD CHAEYOUNG PARK, OF LAWRENCE, begins with Clementi’s Sonata in F-sharp minor during the semifinal round of the International Institute for Young Musicians piano competition Saturday at the Lied Center.

In the pavilion, a small offshoot space in the Lied Center, a 14-year-old boy plays Chopin masterfully.

Part of the Sonata No. 3 in B minor flies out from his fingers. Ryan JannakHuang is a pro at this, so to speak. He’s been seriously studying piano for nine years from his home in Palatine, Ill. But this performance is something nerve-wracking. It’s the biggest, most prestigious competition he’s been in yet.

Not too far away behind a wall, as Ryan is playing,

his twin brother is pacing, trying to get some control over his nerves, too. It’ll be his turn to play next.

Ryan and Kyle JannakHuang were two of the 12 kids ranging from 12 to 17 who competed Saturday in the semifinal round of Kansas University’s International Institute for Young Musicians piano competition. It’s an annual competition that leads into a camp for piano led by KU professors and experts from around the world.

WEDDING REGISTRY

By Alex Garrison acgarrison@ljworld.com

Outside an unfinished building off 19th Street, Asikat Hameed is standing in the sun. It’s sweltering, of course, even in the relative cool of the morning before the threedigit temperatures hit. But never mind the oppressive heat — Ahmeed is looking around, inspecting rooms and about to start painting. Most of all, she’s smiling.

“I’m just so happy,” she says.

“So happy and excited.”

The building — its studs and roof in place — is a house that, thanks to Lawrence’s branch of Habitat for Humanity, will soon become Hameed’s family’s home.

There’s still a ways to go, but each day of volu n t e e r I can’t wait ing brings to see it done. the project to It will just be so closer fruition. On nice.”

Saturday, the Kansas — Asikat Hameed, whose U n i v e r s i t y family will live in the women’s basketball Habitat for Humanity team, along home with a few other volunteers, chipped in, working on raising walls on an outside shed and some exterior paint work.

Junior forward Tania Jackson, who is from Lawrence, was pleasantly surprised when the team, on break from summer practices, showed up at the site. The day of volunteering was extra special for her, she said, because she recognized Hameed there — Jackson went to school with her twin daughters.

“It’s great to have a connection with the family we’re helping,” Jackson said.

Bunny Williams used a buzz saw for the first time, cutting down studs under the watchful eye of Habitat construction manager Mark Brooks and her 10 teammates. Williams, a sophomore forward, said the day of volunteering was “a good opportunity to meet people in the community and work outside with teammates.”

KANSAS WOMEN’S BASKETBALL PLAYERS NATALIE KNIGHT, LEFT, AND CAROLYN DAVIS laugh Saturday as they work to add a fresh coat of white paint to the trim of a Habitat for Humanity home located at 1933 Maple Lane. Players and staff members spent part of the morning painting and helping to build a shed for the home and its soon-tobe owners, Hameed Yusuf, his wife Asikat Hameed and their children.

As some players set nails and squared a shed wall, senior guard Monica Engelman painted white trim between the top of an exterior wall and its roof. She was a little mad at herself for getting paint on her “good gear” but overall happy with the chance for “helping someone out — that’s rewarding.

And I got to use a nail gun.”

Jackson said the morning was dedicated to the family that will eventually get the house, but it’s also about the collective experi-

ence for the team.

“We know how to take it seriously but also have fun,” she said.

Hameed said she appreciated working with all the volunteers who have given their time to the house. She’s been hoping for the build to become a reality since 2008 and now is looking forward.

“I can’t wait to see it done,” she said. “It will just be so nice.”

Records sealed in abduction, homicide TOPEKA — Records have been sealed in the case against a Topeka man charged with first-degree murder and kidnapping in the death of an 18-year-old woman.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reported that a Shawnee County judge agreed Friday to close to the public all pretrial motions, responses and replies in the case of 20-year-old Dustin J. Leftwich.

His newly appointed defense attorney made the request.

Leftwich is accused of hitting recent Seaman High School graduate Brenna Morgart with a vehicle. Her body was found May 25 in a field about three miles away.

Leftwich is also charged with aggravated assault with a vehicle against an unidentified 14-year-old in 2011. Details of that case have not been released.

Leftwich was on probation for an earlier sexual assault conviction when he was arrested in Mogart’s killing.

“It’s a little competitive, but we try to help,” Ryan said as Kyle sat down to the piano in the pavilion.

Evan Lin, Evelyn Mo, Chaeyoung Park, Trenton Takaki, Rieko Tsuchida and Alice Zhu, were named finalists and will compete again Monday.

Brian Zeng received honorable mention but did not advance in the competition.

“It’s nice to bring kids together and expose them to a wide variety of activities,” said Parendi Birdie, assistant head of Lawrence Montessori School. “(The fair) is an alternative activity that can engage kids and helps them develop and gives them a solid foundation to grow their interests.”

“I missed a lot of notes,” he said, only to be interjected by a passerby who gave a friendly, “You’re just being modest!”

“No, I think it was pretty noticeable,” Ryan said in return. “Thanks, though.”

PHILADELPHIA — Americans dipped into the water, went to the movies and rode the subway just to be in air conditioning Saturday for relief from unrelenting heat that has killed 30 people across half the country.

“It was baking on the 18th green,” said golfer Zeb Rogerson, who teed off at 6 a.m. at an Alexandria, Va., golf course but was sweltering by the end of his round.

The heat sent temperatures soaring in more than 20 states to 105 in Louisville, Ky., 101 in Philadelphia, and 95 in New York; besides Washington, a record of 104 was set in Sioux Falls, S.D., and Baltimore set a record at 102.

DANIEL LINDENLAUB, 11, FROM OSCEOLA, IND., AIMS a stream of water at his cousin Forest Adams during a water gun fight while camping Saturday at Mounds State Park in Anderson, Ind. Temperatures in parts of Indiana reached over 100 degrees Saturday.

8,000 in the suburbs around Baltimore and Washington, D.C. In the Washington area, Pepco asked customers to conserve power, saying the heat was stressing the system.

“This is becoming a black swan of heat waves, in the sense that it’s such a long heat wave, such a severe heat wave and encompassing such a large area,” said Chris Vaccaro, spokesman for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

At the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History, Abraham Lewis and his wife, Dzifa Fianoo of Lorton, Va., brought their 8-week-old son out for a walk in the 100-degree heat.

“I really don’t want to be out, but she’s a new mother and was feeling cooped up,” Lewis said.

“Do you see how hot it is?” he said, wiping beads of sweat from his forehead more than once.

The couple’s home in northern Virginia lost power for two days last week after a severe wind storm swept through. Fianoo had to haul the family’s food to a cousin’s house to prevent it from spoiling, then took it home again.

Micah Straight, 36, brought his three daughters to dance in jets of water spurting from a “sprayground” near Philadelphia’s Logan Square fountain to cool off.

“We got here early, because I don’t think we’ll be out this afternoon — we’ll be in the air conditioning,” he said. “So I wanted to get them out, get some

sunshine, get tired.”

In South Bend, Ind., serious kayakers Saturday took to the East Race Waterway, a 1,900-foot-long manmade whitewater course near downtown.

“A lot of times I’ll roll over just to cool off,” said Robert Henry of Carmel, just north of Indianapolis.

“The biggest challenge is walking coming back up carrying a kayak threeeighths of a mile in this heat.”

In cities around the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic region, people struggled to find ways to cope with the heat, but at least one such effort ended in tragedy.

In Aurora, Ill., Gene Autry Pryor, 52, had been drinking with three adult friends near Veterans Memorial Island and jumped into the Fox River to cool off, police said. The man’s friends lost sight of him after a few minutes and then spotted him floating face down and pulled him to shore. Pryor died Friday evening.

In Chicago, street magician Jeremy Pitt-Payne said he has been working throughout the three-day stretch of triple-digit temperatures, but acknowledged that he might doff the Union Jack leather vest by the end of the day, even though it’s part of his British magician character along with the black top hat.

But he had a secret for beating the heat — he starts his shows at 2 p.m. “when the Trump Tower is gracious enough to block out the sun” along his stretch of sidewalk.

Libyans hold 1st nationwide vote in decades U.S. gives ‘powerful commitment’ to Afghanistan

By Maggie Michael Associated Press

TRIPOLI, LIBYA — Jubilant Libyans chose a new parliament Saturday in their first nationwide vote in decades, but violence and protests in the restive east underscored the challenges ahead as the oil-rich North African nation struggles to restore stability after the ouster of longtime dictator Moammar Gadhafi.

O n e person was killed and two wounded in a gunb a t t l e Gadhafi between security forces and antielection protesters in the eastern city of Ajdabiya, according to the head of the election commission.

Nouri al-Abari said the polling center targeted by the protesters was later reopened and voting commenced normally.

The shooting followed a spate of attacks on polling centers in the eastern half of the country, which was the cradle of the revolution against Gadhafi but has become increasingly angry over the perceived domination of power by rivals in Tripoli.

The vote capped a chaotic transition that has exposed major fault lines ranging from the eastwest divide to efforts by Islamists to assert power.

LIBYAN WOMEN HOLD UP THEIR INK-MARKED FINGERS that show they have voted as they drive in Tripoli, Libya, on Saturday. Jubilant Libyan voters marked a major step toward democracy after decades of erratic one-man rule, casting their ballots Saturday in the first parliamentary election after last year’s overthrow and killing of longtime leader Moammar Gadhafi. But the joy was tempered by boycott calls, the burning of ballots and other violence in the country’s restive east. than an hour before they opened in the capital Tripoli, with policemen and soldiers standing guard and searching voters and election workers before they entered.

“I have a strange but beautiful feeling today,” dentist Adam Thabet said as he waited his turn to cast a ballot. “We are free at last after years of fear.

We knew this day would come, but we were afraid it would take a lot longer.”

The election for a 200seat parliament, which will be tasked with form-

ing a new government, was a key milestone after a bitter civil war that ended Gadhafi’s four-decade rule. It was the first time Libyans have voted for a parliament since 1964, five years before Gadhafi’s military coup that toppled the monarchy.

But the desert nation of 6 million people has fallen into turmoil since Gadhafi was killed by rebel forces in his home city of Sirte in late October. Armed militias operate independently, refusing to be brought

under the umbrella of a national army, and deepening regional and tribal divisions erupt into violence with alarming frequency.

Growing resentment in the east and the inability to rein in unruly militias have threatened to tear the country apart.

Some easterners boycotted the election, and protesters torched ballot boxes in 14 out of 19 polling centers in Ajdabiya, said Ibrahim Fayed, a former rebel commander in the area.

Border Patrol: Crane collapse kills 2 Agents fire shots on UT-Dallas campus “ after rock attack

By Paul J. Weber Associated Press

SAN ANTONIO — U.S. Border Patrol agents opened fire Saturday along the Rio Grande on the TexasMexico border after being pelted by rocks and having a gunman point a weapon in their direction on the Mexican side of the river, an agency spokesman said.

Spokesman Henry Mendiola said no Border Patrol agents were injured in the incident Saturday near Brownsville. He did not know if anyone else was hurt. He said the Mexican government had been notified and was responding to the area. The FBI also was investigating.

The Border Patrol released little details about the morning gunfire, including what the suspects were doing on the river.

Mendiola said several people had been taken into custody but that he could not provide details about the suspects or charges they face.

One of the agents started shooting after being “unable to take cover” when rocks were thrown, while the other opened fire after seeing a suspect

on the Mexican side of the river pointing a gun at him, Mendiola said.

He added that as rocks were thrown, “at least one of the agents feared for his life.”

U.S. lawmen opening fire along the Texas border is not routine, but Saturday was the latest in several such incidents in the past year.

Border Patrol agents seizing 4,000 pounds of marijuana in March near Roma got into a shootout with drug smugglers. In that incident, it also was not known whether anyone on the Mexican side had been hit.

Last summer, authorities said Border Patrol agents and Rangers with the Texas Department of Public Safety exchanged about 300 rounds of gunfire with suspected drug smugglers. Officials said the suspects threw rocks at U.S. lawmen in that incident, too.

In 2010, a Border Patrol agent in El Paso shot and killed a 15-year-old Mexican boy across the Rio Grande. Investigators say the agent fired after being attacked by people throwing rocks.

RICHARDSON, TEXAS (AP) — A crane collapse on the University of Texas at Dallas campus killed two construction workers Saturday, officials said, leaving a mangled chunk of the crane laying atop an unfinished building where workers were heard screaming as the accident unfolded.

The crane collapsed while being dismantled, the university said in a statement posted on its website. There were no immediate reports of other injuries.

Arnand Gayapershad told reporters he and others in the nearby library on campus were startled by the sound of screaming.

“Then we heard a loud crashing sound, like metal from the sky,” said Gayapershad, in an interview posted on the website of Dallas television station WFAA. “Then we heard more screaming.”

Gayapershad said another person at the library reported seeing “something similar to scaffolding” tip over when a big gust of wind came through. A band of thunderstorms moving into the area on Saturday afternoon brought sudden wind gusts that reached upward of 40 mph, said Matt Bishop, a meteo-

Although the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces agreed that the judge’s instructions were flawed, it determined the error was “harmless” and did not affect the verdict or the sentence.

The crane was being used during construction of an arts and technology building on campus. The school encouraged students and the community to stay away from that side of campus after the accident.

University spokeswoman Katherine Morales said she had no further details about the crane collapse.

A message left at the Richardson fire department was not immediately returned.

The 155,000-square-foot building was originally scheduled to be completed next year. The $60 million facility will have more than 2,100 classrooms and an auditorium, according to the university.

KABUL, AFGHANISTAN — The U.S. designation Saturday of Afghanistan as its newest “major nonNATO ally” amounts to a political statement of support for the country’s long-term stability and solidifies close defense cooperation after American combat troops withdraw in 2014.

“We see this as a powerful commitment to Afghanistan’s future,” U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said at a news Clinton conference during a brief stop in the Afghan capital. “We are not even imagining abandoning Afghanistan,” she said in the grand courtyard of the presidential palace after talks with President Hamid Karzai.

From Kabul, she and Karzai headed separately to Japan for an international conference on Afghan civilian assistance.

Donors gathered to pledge $16 billion over four years, with the U.S. share not immediately clear, according to a U.S. diplomatic official speaking on condition of anonymity.

The non-NATO ally declaration allows for streamlined defense cooperation, including expedited purchasing ability of American equipment and easier export control regulations. Afghanistan’s military, heavily dependent on American and foreign assistance, already enjoys many of these benefits. The non-NATO ally status guarantees it will continue to do so.

Afghanistan is the 15th such country to receive the designation. Others include Australia, Egypt, Israel and Japan. Afghanistan’s neighbor Pakistan was the last nation to gain the status, in 2004.

Clinton insisted that progress was coming incrementally but consistently to Afghanistan after decades of conflict. “The security situation is more stable,” she said. Afghan forces “are improving their capacity.”

Donors meet, offer $16B in aid TOKYO — International donors pledged today $16 billion in badly needed development aid for Afghanistan over the next four years when most foreign troops will leave as Afghan President Hamid Karzai urged the international community not to abandon his country.

The major donors’ conference, attended by about 70 countries and organizations, is aimed at setting aid levels for the crucial period through and beyond 2014, when most NATO-led foreign combat troops will leave and the war-torn country will assume responsibility for most of its own security.

Japanese foreign minister and U.S. officials traveling with Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said the donors have made $16 billion available through 2015.

At the news conference, Karzai thanked the U.S. for its continued support.

Clinton repeated the tenets of America’s “fight, talk, build” strategy for Afghanistan: defeat extremists, and win over Taliban militants and others willing to renounce violence and help in the long reconstruction of Afghanistan.

Fighting still rages as Afghan and U.S.-led coalition forces battle insurgents, mostly in the eastern part of the country.

Although casualties have fallen among foreign forces as the United States and other nations begin a gradual withdrawal, 215 coalition soldiers were killed in the first six months of the year, compared with 271 in the same period last year.

Reconciliation efforts haven’t gained steam.

Still, Clinton said she was pleased to be meeting the foreign ministers of Afghanistan and Pakistan together at the conference in Tokyo. That three-way relationship is seen as critical to stabilizing Afghanistan.

Be prepared Top state officials can hope that the federal Affordable Care Act is repealed but they need to make sure the state is prepared if implementation of the act moves forward.

K

ansas cannot afford to take a headin-the-sand approach to the Affordable Care Act. Having already returned $31.5 million in federal money that would have been used to help Kansas tailor its own health insurance exchanges to comply with the new health care law, Gov. Sam Brownback now says he wants to delay any action on the exchanges until after the November presidential election, in hopes former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney will be elected and lead efforts to repeal the health care act. Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer has indicated he hopes the U.S. Senate will try to kill the law using its reconciliation rules, but that action also would have to occur after the November elections and would depend on Republicans boosting their numbers in the U.S. Senate so they could garner the 51 votes needed to overturn the law.

The repeal of the Affordable Care Act is far from certain regardless of the outcome of November’s elections. Supporters of the act acknowledge that some aspects of it need work. Opponents concede that many Americans support some aspects of the law, such as coverage for people with preexisting conditions and allowing children to stay on their parents’ insurance until age 26. There likely will be changes to the law, but it’s simply unwise for Kansas not to be ready for its implementation.

Despite the opposition of fellow state officials, Insurance Commissioner Sandy Praeger has tried to make sure the state won’t be left out in the cold when the care act provisions kick in. However, time is growing short. The federal law requires states to submit their plans for setting up health insurance exchanges by Nov. 16. The exchanges will offer consumers a system, which can be accessed online and through other means, where they can comparison shop for health insurance.

Praeger said it’s already too late for Kansas to set up a state-run exchange, but it could still work with the federal government to assist Kansas consumers and determine which companies could participate in the state’s exchange. The state needs to move quickly, though, if it wants to help build its exchanges to meet Kansans’ needs rather than allow the federal government to dictate those decisions. “It’s a significant giving up of state authority if we don’t move forward,” Praeger said.

It certainly is possible that the November elections somehow will doom the Affordable Care Act, but it’s also entirely possible that the act will continue to move toward implementation after the elections are past. It’s better to be prepared for something that doesn’t happen than to be caught unprepared for something that does. The Kansas insurance commissioner is advocating a prudent approach to this issue. The governor and other state officials need to listen to her.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for July 8, 1912: “The K.U. Seismograph recorded yesterday morning’s earthquake YEARS in Alaska as the most severe since AGO the installation of the instrument IN 1912 at the University. The shocks lasted for 70 minutes according to the instrument beginning at 1:15 in the morning. The main waves lasted for fifteen minutes and the waves measured 3 3/4 inches across which is by far the largest ever recorded by the seismograph.

Ordinarily the waves are very small.”

“The Chautauqua people are releasing a balloon every evening now and in these are a number of circulars. The red one is worth two dollars to the finder as there will be a ticket, good for all the numbers on the program, given to each person turning in the same.... This is going to be a fine Chautauqua and the people of Douglas county will never have a better chance to go for nothing than by picking up one of these circulars from the balloons that are released each evening. Watch for the balloons.”

EPA overstep threatens Navajo plant PHOENIX — The federal government is a bull that has found yet another china shop, this time in Arizona.

It seems determined to inflict, for angelic motives and progressive goals, economic damage on this state. And economic and social damage on Native Americans, who over the years have experienced quite enough of that at Washington’s hands.

The gain from this pain?

The most frequently cited study says “research to date ... is inconclusive as to whether” there would be “any perceptible improvement in visibility at the Grand Canyon and other areas of concern.”

The Environmental Protection Agency says the Navajo Generating Station is “near” 11 national parks, several of which are 175 miles distant.

The NGS on Navajo land in northern Arizona burns coal from the Kayenta Mine, which is co-owned by the Navajo and Hopi nations. The EPA is pondering whether all three units of the NGS should be required to install the “best available” emission control technologies, perhaps costing more than $1.1 billion. More than 80 percent of the power plant’s employees are Navajo, many of whom speak Navajo to help preserve the nation’s culture. In 2007, the percentage of the Navajo Nation’s population living in poverty was 36.7.

But the Navajos, the plant and the mine that powers it may be sacrificed to this dubious environmental crusade.

“

But the Navajos, the plant and the mine that powers it may be sacrificed to this dubious environmental crusade.”

The new technology would reduce nitrate aerosols. They, however, are responsible for just 4 percent of what is called “light extinction” over the Grand Canyon.

Water falls unbidden from the sky but must be pumped to Arizonans — Tucson is 2,500 feet above sea level.

The NGS provides 95 percent of the power for the pumps of the Central Arizona Project (CAP), which made Phoenix and most of modern Arizona possible. A study sponsored by the Interior Department estimates that the EPA’s mandate might increase the cost of water by as much as 32 percent, hitting agriculture users especially hard.

They might be driven back to using scarce ground water — which was supposed to be protected by the CAP. That is why many environmental-

ists supported the CAP, one of the largest reclamation projects in U.S. history.

An Arizona State University study estimates that between now and 2044, the NGS and the mine will contribute $20 billion to the state’s economy and provide 3,000 jobs each year. If there is an NGS. Its site lease expires in 2019. If the EPA mandates the most expensive technologies, each of the NGS owners would have to weigh whether it is sensible to make large capital investments in a plant that might not operate after that. Furthermore, one of the six owners of the NGS is the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, which may be prohibited by California law — the state may be destitute but it is determined to fix the climate — from making investments that will extend the life of coal-fired plants.

Testifying to Congress last February, an EPA official uttered the six-word incantation that summarizes Obama administration policies and progressivism generally: “We do not have to choose.”

It is, the official said, quoting President Obama, a “false debate” that we have to choose between the “public health benefits from reducing air pollution from power plants” and “growing this economy in a robust way.”

But benefits usually have costs. And in reality — which is the region contiguous to Washington — two pertinent questions usually are: How much government do you

want, and how much are you willing to pay for it in diminished economic growth? The Obama administration consistently favors more government and, believing that “we do not have to choose,” is mystified by stubbornly sluggish growth.

In 1990, Congress passed the Clean Air Act Amendments, which high-mindedly mandated restoration of visibility in parks and wilderness areas to natural conditions.

“Natural” meaning what? Before humanity? Anyway, the EPA is empowered to make this happen, so it empowers its professional writers of regulations — sometimes 26-year-olds fresh from law school — to maximize regulations to that end. These are regulations that others must live with while minimizing the damage the regulations cause.

The Navajo have been here before. EPA regulations caused the closure of the Mohave Generating Station near Laughlin, Nev., which was the sole buyer of coal from the Black Mesa Mine, leading it to cease operations. The mine’s land is co-owned by the Navajo and Hopi nations.

This story has become as American as “The Great Gatsby,” wherein Tom and Daisy Buchanan “smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness ... and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”

Mayberry existed in simpler time MAYBERRY, N.C. — Former sheriff Andy Taylor died here last week. Mayberry is in mourning.

Sheriff Taylor was one of the last links to another, simpler time. Before there was a traffic light or drive-thru banking here, before we got our first cellphone tower or Wi-Fi connection, before the Dairy Queen, the Walmart and the Subway were built out on Route 89, before color was invented, back when people still appeared to one another in shades of black and white, Mayberry was a very different town in a very different America.

Over the years, some have criticized our town for the things that made us different. It has been noted, for instance, that Mayberry somehow managed to be a town in the South in the 1960s with-

Leonard Pitts Jr.

lpitts@miamiherald.com

Mayberry was real, too — as real as the desire sometimes to escape the tyranny of What Is. It sat just outside of time, at a crossroads of nostalgia and need.”

out a single African-American citizen, much less a civil rights movement.

But that’s hardly the only thing that bypassed our town. Mayberry never heard about the Cuban missile crisis or the Vietnam War, never knew anything about birth control pills or LSD, Malcolm X or Betty Friedan, the Beatles or the Rolling Stones. President Kennedy being shot and killed in Dallas? That awful news never made it here.

The worst thing that ever happened in Mayberry was maybe when that little old lady swindled Barney Fife into buying that clunker of a used car. Or when Aunt Bee’s homemade pickles tasted terrible and nobody could bring themselves to tell her. Or when little Opie killed that mother bird with his sling-

shot and Andy made him raise the orphaned young ones.

It will be hard for a nation as thoroughly wired and utterly connected as this one to conceive that there was once a time and a town so far removed from the world outside that things such as those counted as crises. But there was.

And when the crisis was resolved — as always it was, sensibly, fairly and with a touch of good humor — there always remained enough time, even on a workday afternoon, to slip down to the fishin’ hole and drown some worms.

The days drifted into one another with a comforting familiarity, you knew who you were and what you were about and you sat content in that knowledge on the porch after church, sharing a howdy with passing neighbors, letting supper settle and contemplating a second helping of cobbler. If you were lucky, maybe Andy would bring out his guitar and sing.

He presided over Mayberry with just the right touch, often gently amused, sometimes a little flustered, but rarely out of sorts. He kept the excitable Deputy Fife from accidentally shooting himself with the one bullet he was allowed to carry — in his pocket. He steered young Opie toward honorable manhood with tough love and tender wisdom. He suffered fools without complaint if not quite gladly, enforced

the law with a grin and a wily people sense that hardly ever required a gun.

And he had the good manners never to gloat when some city slicker who’d presumed to outsmart him wound up on the receiving end of the lesson.

Now, he is gone. You cannot say you are surprised — he was 86, after all — but just the same, it hits you in a soft spot. There are those who will say Andy wasn’t real, but he was. Real like the laughter of good friends and the simplicity of wisdom.

Mayberry was real, too — as real as the desire sometimes to escape the tyranny of What Is. It sat just outside of time, at a crossroads of nostalgia and need. There was a dirt path in the woods near town that led to a fishing hole. Sheriff Andy used to go there often with his little boy, to the whistling of a bucolic tune lifting above the North Carolina pines.

You cannot remember when you did not know that tune. But somehow, you fall asleep in black and white on the front porch dreaming of cobbler and awake in color with a Dairy Queen, a Walmart and a Subway doing business out on Route 89. That long-haired fella from that Beatles group was right.

Yesterday came suddenly.

Self troubled by accusations, but stands by ‘kids’

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self took some hard hacks in the softball batting cages twice last week at Clinton Lake Sports Complex.

His sole purpose was to practice for tonight’s AllStar Celebrity softball game at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., not to release

Kansas D-tackle to bring ‘nasty’

any pent-up aggression over recent claims that an Overland Park man allegedly supplied marijuana to multiple players from his 2010-11 Jayhawk hoops team.

“Obviously, it bothers me.

I’m the captain of the ship.

Anytime something happens on your watch, it’s very bothersome,” Self said in a Saturday-morning interview with the Journal-World.

He was making his first

public comments on an assistant U.S. attorney’s assertion that Samuel Villeareal III distributed pot to unnamed KU players. The claim was made during a June 18 detention hearing for Villeareal, who is one of numerous defendants charged June 11 with a scheme to distribute more than 2,000 pounds of marijuana in Johnson and Douglas counties.

“On the flip side, I’m not

going to rush to judgment on anything at all,” Self quickly added. “I know this for a fact: We’ve got great kids in our program. We’ve had great kids in our program. The kids have represented themselves to my knowledge in a way that would be good for the university, and they all graduate. I am disappointed that anything could be said negatively about our program, but I’m not going to

run and hide from it. I’m not going to rush to judgment, either. The only thing I could do now is basically allow the process to play out.”

Villeareal, whose alleged tie to the KU players hit the media on June 29, returns to court for a hearing on July 30.

Bill Self says “I have no idea what he’s bothered the process will be. Trust by recent accusations against Please see SELF, page 3B his players

LAGA CITY TOURNAMENT

No surprises here

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

For a player who is supposed to be so mean on the field, new Kansas University defensive tackle Keon Stowers sure seems awfully nice off of it.

And you can bet that Stowers has heard about that more than once.

Blessed with the size and strength to play defensive tackle and the smile to play a starring role in a children’s play, the Georgia Military College transfer has spent much of his career trying to overcome his good-guy image.

“My coaches always joke around with me saying I’m too nice and all of this,” Stowers said before reporting to campus in John Young/Journal-World Photos early June.

U.S. men’s hoops roster finalized

SPORTS ON TV TODAY

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Blake Griffin, Andre Iguodala and James Harden were chosen Saturday to complete the roster for the U.S. Olympic basketball team.

They earned the final three spots that opened after a rash of injuries knocked out at least four players who would have been on the team. They beat out Eric Gordon, Rudy Gay and No. 1 draft pick Anthony Davis of New Orleans, who couldn’t scrimmage this week because of a sprained ankle.

Also heading to London for the defending gold medalists are: LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Kevin Du-

rant, Russell Westbrook, Tyson Chandler and Kevin Love.

Griffin showed he was healthy again after being slowed by a knee injury during the playoffs, putting on an impressive dunking display following practice Saturday. Harden, the NBA’s Sixth Man of the Year with Oklahoma City, gives the Americans more scoring punch off the bench, and Iguodala is a defensive specialist who can guard multiple positions.

The Americans lost Dwight Howard, Derrick Rose, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh to injuries in recent months, forcing them to scrap plans to name their 12-man roster on June 18. They asked the US Olympic Com-

Stewart victorious at Daytona DAYTONA BEACH, FLA. (AP) — There was no fire or rain. Still, another frantic finish at Daytona International Speedway.

Tony Stewart emerged the winner, charging past Daytona 500 winner Matt Kenseth on the last lap and holding on as the challengers stacked up behind him Saturday night in one of Daytona’s trademark wrecks. “I don’t even remember what happened that last lap,� Stewart said.

Stewart has 18 victories at Daytona, secStewart ond only to the late Dale Earnhardt. None of his wins are in the Daytona 500, though. Stewart is 0-for-14 in NASCAR’s biggest race of the year and was a non-factor in February, when the race was delayed a day by rain and then stopped more than two hours for a massive jet dryer fire.

But he’s always strong in the summer race at Daytona, and this visit was no different.

Stewart qualified second but dropped back to 42nd at the start of the race because his time was thrown out by NASCAR after his Chevrolet failed inspection. He quietly rode around — which is his style at restrictor-plate races — and let Roush Fenway Racing teammates Kenseth and Greg Biffle control the front. “We were going to try to win the thing and be there at the end,� Biffle said. “We were right there.�

The Roush drivers thought they had the field covered — Kenseth led a race-high 89 laps and Biffle led 35 — and they probably still liked their chances on the final green-whitecheckered restart. Kenseth was the leader with Biffle on his bumper, as second-place Stewart was lined up with Kasey Kahne.

Kenseth and Biffle pulled away for a lap, but Stewart came quick on the outside, moved to the front, then crossed down the track in front of Kenseth for the lead. Seconds later, Biffle seemed to wiggle in traffic and cars began wrecking all over the track in what was tallied to be a 15-car accident. “I’m not really sure what happened, they just started wrecking behind us,� said Kenseth, who started from the pole in his bid to become the first driver since 1982 to sweep the two Daytona races in the same season.

The final results showed Jeff Burton came from nowhere to finish second in a Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet, followed by Kenseth in a Ford and Joey Logano in a Toyota.

Stewart teammate Ryan Newman, who was involved in a pit road incident with Kahne and Jeff Gordon, finished fifth.

Roush driver Carl Edwards was sixth and was followed by Kahne, Brad Keselowski in a Dodge and Michael Waltrip.

Bobby Labonte rounded out the top 10.

mittee for a roster extension and added Harden and Davis to their original pool of finalists that was chosen in January.

USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo was intrigued

by Davis’ skills, but the national player of the year at Kentucky sprained his ankle last week and was not able to take part this week, robbing him of a chance to show he was ready to handle international competition now.

James, Bryant, Anthony, Paul and Williams were all part of the 2008 Olympic gold medalists. Durant, Westbrook, Chandler and Love played on the world championship team two years ago.

The injuries leave the Ameri-

cans short-handed at center, where Howard started four years ago in Beijing and Bosh backed him up. Chandler is the only natural center left, so the Americans will be forced to use some players out of their normal NBA positions.

But what remains is still the most athletic team in the world, with potent scorers at nearly every spot, and the Americans will look to overcome any size disadvantage by punishing teams in transition.

The Americans opened training camp Friday and will practice here through next Wednesday, then play an exhibition game against the Dominican Republic on Thursday.

NEW OVERALL LEADER BRADLEY WIGGINS OF BRITAIN makes the last climb during stage 7 of the Tour de France on Saturday at La Planche des Belles Filles, France.

Britain’s Wiggins takes Tour de France lead LA PLANCHE DES BELLES FILLES SKI STATION, FRANCE — Bradley Wiggins gave Britain its first Tour de France leader in 12 years on Saturday, wresting the yellow jersey from Fabian Cancellara after being helped by a powerful escort in the race’s mountain debut.

In the Tour’s first big shake-up, the Sky squad was dominant up the first summit finish to allow Christopher Froome to win the seventh stage from Tomblaine to La Planche des Belles Filles ski station.

The 198-kilometer trek into the Vosges range went a long way toward shaping the three-week race as experts predicted before the start — a showdown between Wiggins and defending champion Cadel Evans.

In a five-rider breakaway group on the final climb, Evans tried an attack just before the super-steep climb in the last kilometer, but Froome beat him by two seconds as Wiggins stayed close to the Australian’s back wheel.

After the finish, compatriots Wiggins and Froome hugged, with Wiggins becoming the first Briton since David Millar in 2000 to wear the yellow jersey.

Harper, Bourn added for NL WASHINGTON — Bryce Harper and Michael Bourn are headed to the All-Star game after all.

Harper and Bourn were added to the NL roster for Tuesday’s game in Kansas City after two players dropped out due to injuries. Both outfielders had lost to David Freese in online voting for one of the final spots.

The 19-year-old Harper, a budding star with the Washington Nationals, becomes the youngest position player in the history of the game and third youngest All-Star ever. Bourn, Atlanta’s dynamic leadoff hitter, made the NL All-Star team for the second time.

Choi leads U.S. Women’s Open KOHLER, WIS. — Na Yeon Choi had one of the best rounds in U.S. Women’s Open history, taking control of the tournament with a 7-under 65 in the third round at Blackwolf Run on Saturday.

The fifth-ranked South Korean standout’s remarkable round put her at 8 under for the tournament, giving her a six-stroke lead over Amy Yang. Only four players ever have posted a lower round in the Open, and the 65 tied the lowest third-round score in the event’s history.

Simpson best at Greenbrier WHITE SULPHER SPRINGS, W.VA. — U.S. Open champion Webb Simpson shot a 5-under 65 on Saturday to take a two-stroke lead into the final round of the Greenbrier Classic.

Simpson had his second straight bogey-free round to reach 14 under on the The Greenbrier

Resort’s Old White TPC course. Last year in the event, he briefly led entering the final nine holes, but faded to a tie for ninth.

Troy Kelly was second after a 62. He had hipreplacement surgery in September 2010 after being diagnosed with arthritis.

Rookie Charlie Beljan, J.B. Holmes and Ken Duke were 11 under. Beljan had a 67, Holmes a 66 and Duke a 65.

me, nobody is on my time schedule,” Self said. “The only thing I positively know about the situation is what I’ve read like everybody else.

“I have known about it one week now. We investigated it and looked into it as much as we can. I feel I have a better understanding, but still yet I can’t and won’t comment any further on it due to the fact it would not be in the best interests of anybody.”

Self would not comment to the J-W on specific aspects of this case, such as allegations that KU’s players visited with Villeareal, who was allegedly sitting behind the bench at a game at KC’s Sprint Center.

Self said he had not spoken with any federal investigators about the matter. He has spoken to the team.

“Certainly I’ve addressed it. It will continue to be addressed. It’s not something where it’s the first time they’ve heard something like this. We address it all the time,” Self said, of reminding the players it is against the law and against KU rules to use marijuana.

KU’s internal drugtesting policy requires all freshman or new transfer student-athletes to take a drug test “within a reasonable amount of time” after arriving on campus.

All teams that qualify for postseason play also may be subject to testing. The university also conducts unannounced, random testing during the year, according to the policy. Athletes who test positive are required to undergo counseling and are subjected to more frequent testing.

The policy does not call for suspension from game competition until after a third positive test.

“All athletic programs have safeguards not only to prevent, but to detect and assist in some of society’s problems or some of society’s issues that we deal with,” Self said.

He stressed: “I want to make the point: I know the quality of kids in our program. The fact is these are not good kids, these are great kids. They are working their butt off (this summer). They are young.

I can’t wait to start practicing and see how guys react to Europe (trip to Switzerland and Paris for four games in August). The thing about it is I certainly won’t be commenting on this any further, other than the fact this will be a fun team to coach.”

Softball tonight: Self will participate in today’s All-Star Legends & Celebrity Softball Game, set for approximately 7:30 p.m. at Kauffman Stadium. The game will be contested after the Futures Game, which starts at 4 p.m.

“I made contact, but I’m not exactly a power hitter like I used to be,” Self said of his recent work in the batting cages. “I just hope I get out on the field a little bit. I can’t play third because (George) Brett is there. I can’t play short because Ernie Banks is there. I can’t play center because Bo (Jackson) is there. I can’t pitch because Jenny Finch is there.

I can’t catch because (Mike) Piazza is there.

There may not enough spots for me to play, but it should be fun.”

The softball game will be televised by ESPN approximately 9:30 p.m.

spends most of his time on the private course, but has been playing the public course four to six times a year after experiencing it for the first time in the mid-80s, when he golfed at Nebraska and would come to Lawrence for KU tournaments.

While today’s round will be played on the private course, Rack doesn’t think that necessarily gives him an advantage.

“It is familiar, but you look at who is at the top,” Rack said. “Conrad Roberts … he knows the course as well as anybody.

Nobody’s going to have an advantage over him.”

Behind Rack and Ritchie in the top 10, William Gantz and Justin Hohl are tied for fourth at 76, Matt Bellemere and Kit Grove are knotted at sixth with 78, Tyler Cummins stands alone at eighth with a 79, and Seth McCauley and Steve Randall are tied for ninth at 81.

Roberts is looking forward to the final 18 holes but doesn’t anticipate a three-shot lead will be safe on the private course.

a double to Alcides Escobar and walked Eric Hosmer to load the bases.

All-Star Billy Butler hit a two-run single to pull Kansas City within two runs and Moustakas’ fly made it 8-7.

The Royals were forced to play from behind for much of the game because starter Bruce Chen struggled for the second straight game.

Chen (7-8) gave up six runs for the second game in a row and allowed nine hits over 31⁄3 innings.

“Bruce just never got locked in,” Yost said. “And while we’ve been really good with our long guys this year, Nate just hung one breaking ball. Other than that, he was fantastic.”

The Royals took a 2-0 lead in the first after Butler and Betancourt’s RBI singles, but couldn’t keep it. Jackson hit a leadoff single in the home half and scored on Fielder’s 14th homer, a 382-foot shot to right center with two outs to make it 2-all.

Gerald Laird had an RBI double and Jackson, who extended his career long hitting streak to 14 games,

When Stowers signed with KU, he was listed at 272 pounds.

A few weeks after graduation, back home in South Carolina, he was up to 283. And by the time he left for KU, he was just six pounds shy of his goal of 295.

“I’ve put on a good little bit of weight,” he said.

Stowers will room with fellow defensive lineman Ty McKinney, a transfer from Trinity Valley CC in Texas, and in addition to competing for playing time, the two will look to build on a friendship that began during the offseason.

“We’ve gotten to know each other a lot,” Stowers said. “He’s decided to bring the TV, and I’m bringing the Xbox, so we’ll take the friendship from there.”

Rangers 4, Twins 3, 10 innings ARLINGTON, TEXAS — Nelson Cruz hit an RBI double in the 10th inning to lead Texas past Minnesota, snapping a five-game losing streak.

Texas’ Josh Hamilton had a home run, walk and a run scored as the designated hitter one night after leaving in the fifth inning because of back spasms. Kyle Waldrop (01) failed to get an out in the 10th and took the loss.

K.C. concentrates on All-Star security KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — After a year of preparing for one of the biggest events to come to the city in decades, Kansas City police are ready to prove they’re as capable as any big-city force of delivering a stellar performance at the Major League Baseball All-Star game.

It’s the first time in nearly 40 years the city has hosted the Midsummer Classic, and Kansas City officials have spent several months coordinating with local, state and federal agencies and the U.S. Army to make sure tens of thousands of baseball fans who come to the city will be safe.

A delegation of Kansas City police officers traveled to Phoenix last year for the 2011 All-Star game.

And the department tested its security plan at the

city’s St. Patrick’s Day parade and in an exercise in April at Kauffman Stadium, where the All-Star game will be played Tuesday.

“We’re a large police department, and we’ve handled large events before,” said Maj. Rich Lockhart, who is leading the Kansas City department’s security efforts. “But nothing on this scale. The city is hoping people see how well we’ve handled this event, and that it leads to bigger events in the future.”

Kansas City police have worked with the Missouri State Highway Patrol, FBI, Department of Homeland Security and several other agencies to create its game plan. Lockhart said the University of Foreign Military and Cultural Studies at Fort Leavenworth, which normally reviews

“

I don’t think people necessarily think of Kansas City as a big city. People don’t understand how well-prepared we are as a police department. I would put us up against any big city, like Chicago or L.A., in handling major events.”

— Maj. Rich Lockhart of the Kansas City police department battle plans for the U.S. Army, has examined the security plan and found it to be sound.

“I don’t think people necessarily think of Kansas City as a big city,” Lockhart said. “People don’t understand how well-prepared we are as a police department. I would put us up against any big city, like Chicago or L.A., in handling major events.”

Unlike last year’s game in Phoenix, where most events were consolidated in a fairly tight geographi-

cal area downtown, Kansas City is playing host to activities scattered around town, including in some impoverished neighborhoods where residents say it’s best if outsiders are gone by dark.

Bill Bordley, vice president of security and facility management for Major League Baseball, said he’s worked with local police for eight months on making preparations and is impressed with the security measures that are in place.

He said the hosting of out-of-towners at youth baseball and softball games in Kansas City’s inner-city neighborhoods for the Jr. RBI Classic will not mark the first time Major League Baseball has reached out to a city’s urban core.

“It’s not a problem or a challenge that hasn’t been dealt with before,” Bordley said, noting that the 2010 game was in Anaheim, Calif., and youth ballgames were held at an RBI facility in Compton, Calif. “The commissioner makes a concerted effort to reach out to all parts of the community and wants to create a family-friendly environment throughout the city.”

Danny Rotert, a spokesman for Kansas City Mayor Sly James, acknowledges that any major

public safety problems could hurt the image of a city whose per-capita homicide rate is perennially among the nation’s top 10.

Still, he said he’s confident the city has a strong security plan in place and things will go smoothly.

“It’s been a long time since there has been a huge event like this in Kansas City,” Rotert said.

“We don’t want to leave any doubt in anyone’s mind that we’re capable of pulling off an event of this scale.”

If the city needs more pointers on how to keep massive All-Star Game crowds safe, it doesn’t have to look farther than St. Louis, which hosted the Midsummer Classic three years ago. Three World Series have been played in the city in the past 10 years.

New faces abound in baseball’s first half

KEVIN YOUKILIS OF THE WHITE SOX CONNECTS ON A TWO-RUN HOME RUN against Toronto on Saturday in Chicago.

Youkilis giving Chisox lift ————

Move from Boston has been beneficial to veteran CHICAGO (AP) — Kevin Youkilis changed Sox last month, from Red to White, and made the move from Boston to Chicago, where he is again an everyday player.

And through the first week and a half with his new team, the change has been good for both him and the AL Central leaders.

Taking over at third base and batting second, Youkilis had 13 RBIs and three homers in his first 12 games.

In his first homestand at U.S. Cellular Field, Youkilis has been hearing the familiar “Youk” cries that used to come down from Fenway Park during his successful run with the Red Sox. He had seven RBIs, two homers and a game-winning single in the 10th inning in his first four home games.

“Excited to be in first place. I think that’s the coolest thing about coming over here,” Youkilis said.

“In this game you have to prove yourself until the day you retire. Every year there’s expectations to fulfill and sometimes you fall short of them and sometimes you exceed them so it’s part of the game. ...

I haven’t played up to my capabilities yet this year and hopefully in the second half I can.”

The 33-year-old Youkilis homered and had four RBIs in his home-field

“

Excited to be in first place. I think that’s the coolest thing about coming over here.”

— Chicago’s Kevin Youkilis debut. He hit a game-winning, 10th-inning single in his second home game, smacked a go-ahead homer to lead a sweep of the Texas Rangers the next day and then had another RBI single and stellar defensive play Friday night as Chicago won its fourth straight by beating Toronto. Then he hit a two-run home run in a 2-0 victory Saturday against the Blue Jays.

Since Youkilis joined the White Sox in a trade for Brent Lillibridge, Zach Stewart and cash considerations last month, Chicago has gone 9-3 in his first 12 games.

Youkilis helped the Red Sox win World Series championships in 2004 and 2007, but he started slowly this season and spent much of May on the DL with a sore back.

Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine questioned Youkilis’ commitment to the game during a television interview early in the season and later apologized to him a day later.

Youkilis batted just .233 with four homers and 14 RBIs in 146 at-bats for the Red Sox in 2012, and the emergence of Will Mid-

dlebrooks made him expendable.

The Boston experience — which featured an emotional standing ovation on his final day with the Red Sox — is over, Youkilis likes to say.

He’s already given the White Sox a much needed lift with both his bat and his glove at third base where projected started Brent Morel has been sidelined a good portion of the season by back problems.

Veteran Orlando Hudson was acquired but couldn’t get comfortable at the position after years as a second baseman.

Youkilis has already made several sparkling plays at third, coming in barehanded or backing up and making a nice stop.

“Those plays he’s making at third, there’s none of those that he hasn’t made,” said Chicago manager Robin Ventura, who should know a thing or two about the position since he won six Gold Gloves there.

Youkilis, a Gold Glove winner himself at first base in 2007, gives the White Sox versatilty in the field and a No. 2 hitter who can both get on base, has power, can drive in runs and is known for grinding out at-bats.

“He has an energy he brings. The competitiveness he has. It’s infectious and it’s a good thing for our guys to see and a guy who has been a winner,” Ventura said.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Mike Trout is burning up the base paths in Los Angeles. Bryce Harper is rocking and rolling in D.C. And the standings in both leagues are dotted with newcomers like the Washington Nationals, Baltimore Orioles and Pittsburgh Pirates who are surprisingly in the hunt for the playoffs.

Suddenly the Grand Old Game has a fresh-faced new edge to it as the season passes the halfway point and heads into the All-Star break.

As the big leagues prepare to convene in Kansas City for the midsummer classic, the 20-year-old Trout has electrified the Angels and brought them back into contention in the AL West, the Orioles are within shouting distance of the mighty New York Yankees in the AL East and the young Pirates are finally playing a brand of ball worthy of that gem of a ballpark in Pittsburgh.

One of the dusty old arguments used to criticize baseball is that the game is too often dominated by the same teams and same stars. Derek Jeter and the Yankees still lead the AL East, but David Ortiz and the Red Sox are looking up at Adam Jones and Baltimore in baseball’s best division, the veteran Philadelphia Phillies are buried in the cellar in the NL East and the defending champion Cardinals don’t look quite like themselves yet in the post-Pujols era.

It’s no wonder that baseball officials are seeing rising attendance this season. There are some charismatic young stars that are giving fans new reasons to get off their

couches and head to the ballpark to see what all the fuss is about.

It all starts with Trout, who is hitting .343 with 10 homers and 23 stolen bases in 60 games this season, becoming the rare powerspeed dual threat.

“He’s been a gamechanger, offensively, defensively,” New York manager Joe Girardi said earlier this season. “The kid has got a lot of talent, a ton. Usually when you see a guy that fast, you don’t anticipate him hitting the ball that hard.”

Here are some other notable performances from the first half. All stats are as of Thursday afternoon.

Stars !" Josh Hamilton, OF, Texas Rangers: Hitting .318 with 26 homers and 74 RBIs to help the Rangers lay claim to title of best team in the league. !" Jered Weaver, RHP, Los Angeles Angels: Is 9-1 with a league-leading 2.13 ERA and a no-hitter. !" Joey Votto, 1B, Cincinnati Reds: Showing the 2010 MVP season was no fluke, has emerged as one of the finest hitters in the game, hitting .350 with 14 homers and 47 RBIs. !" R.A. Dickey, RHP, New York Mets: Knuckleballer has been the feelgood story of the season, going 12-1 with a 2.15 ERA and 116 Ks this season.

Slumps !" Adrian Gonzalez, 1B, Red Sox: Hitting .275 with 24 doubles, but he’s only hit six home runs for a Red Sox offense that needs more runs with their pitchers struggling. !" Rick Porcello, RHP, Tigers: Detroit was sup-

posed to be the class of a weak division after signing Prince Fielder, but Justin Verlander’s sidekicks have been mediocre so far. !" Cliff Lee, LHP, Phillies: Had a pedestrian 3.98 ERA and just one victory in his first 14 starts. Absences of sluggers Chase Utley and Ryan Howard haven’t helped. !" Todd Helton, 1B, Rockies: Looking every bit of his 38 years, hitting just .239 with seven homers for last-place Colorado.

Memorable moments !" Perfectos from Humber and Cain: White Sox journeyman Phil Humber was perfect against Seattle on April 21, and San Francisco’s Matt Cain cemented himself as one of the best in the biz with his gem against Houston on June 13, making 2012 just the second season there have been multiple perfect games. !" Johan’s no-no: The two-time Cy Young winner has battled arm problems in recent seasons, but Santana was back to his old self on June 1 against St. Louis, throwing 134 pitches to deliver the first no-hitter in Mets history. !" Hill’s cycles: Arizona’s Aaron Hill hit for the cycle twice in 11 days, against Seattle on June 18 and at Milwaukee on June 29, joining Brooklyn’s Babe Herman in 1931 as the only players to do it twice in the same season. !" Papi’s blast: David Ortiz hit his 400th career homer in a loss at Oakland this week, providing one of the few bright spots in another down year in Beantown.

WIMBLEDON

.

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

Back on top: Serena takes fifth WIMBLEDON, ENGLAND (AP) — For Serena Williams, the low point came in early 2011, when she spent hours laying around her home, overwhelmed by a depressing series of health scares that sent her to the hospital repeatedly and kept her away from tennis for 10 months.

The high point came Saturday on Centre Court at Wimbledon, when Williams dropped to the grass, hands covering her face. She was all the way back, a Grand Slam champion yet again.

Her serve as good as there is, her grit as good as ever, Williams was dominant at the start and finish, beating Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland 6-1, 5-7, 6-2 to win a fifth championship at the All England Club and 14th major title overall, ending a two-year drought.

“I just remember, I was on the couch and I didn’t leave the whole day, for two days. I was just over it. I was praying, like, ‘I can’t take any more. I’ve endured enough. Let me be able to get through this,’” recalled Williams, a former No. 1 whose ranking slid to 175th after a fourth-round loss at the All England Club last year, her second tournament back.

“Coming here and winning today is amazing,” she said. “It’s been an unbelievable journey for me.”

Certainly has.

That’s why tears flowed

SERENA WILLIAMS REACTS AFTER DEFEATING AGNIESZKA RADWANSKA in the women’s final match Saturday at Wimbledon, England. during the on-court trophy ceremony. And why Williams squeezed tight during post-victory hugs with her parents and older sister Venus, who has five Wimbledon titles of her own — meaning that one pair of siblings who learned to play tennis on public courts in Compton,

Calif., now accounts for 10 of the past 13 singles trophies. They added their fifth Wimbledon doubles championship Saturday night, teaming to beat Andrea Hlavackova and Lucie Hradecka of the Czech Republic 7-5, 6-4.

A few days after winning Wimbledon in 2010, Serena

Williams cut both feet on broken glass while leaving a restaurant in Germany.

She needed two operations on her right foot. Then she got blood clots in her lungs, for which she needed to inject herself with a blood thinner. Those shots led to a pool of blood gathering under her stomach’s skin,

requiring another procedure.

“That made her realize where her life was, really, and where she really belonged and that she really loved the game,” said Williams’ mother, Oracene Price. “You never appreciate anything until you almost lose it.”

Against Radwanska, who was trying to be the first Polish Grand Slam singles champion, Williams was streaky at times, but also superb. She won the first five games and the last five. She compiled a 5813 landslide of winners. She swatted 17 aces, including four at 114 mph, 107 mph, 115 mph, 111 mph in one marvelous game to pull even at 2-all in the third set.

That was part of a momentum-swinging run when Williams claimed 15 of 18 points, and that quartet of aces raised her total for the fortnight to a tournamentrecord 102, surpassing her own mark of 89 in 2010; it’s also more than the top number for any man this year at Wimbledon.

“So many aces,” said Radwanska, whose twoweek total was 16, “and I couldn’t do much about it.”

There had been a moment, ever so brief, when it appeared Williams might let Saturday’s match slip away. After she breezed through the first set on a day when the wind whipped and the temperature was in the mid-50s, rain arrived, causing a delay of about 20 minutes between sets.

Radwanska, who has been fighting a respiratory illness and blew her nose at a changeover, quickly fell behind 3-1 in the second set. Right there is where she made a stand.

Williams was playing in her 18th major final; Radwanska in her first. Actually, she’d never won a match beyond the fourth round at a Grand Slam tournament until this week. So she acknowledged being “a little bit nervous in the beginning.”

But the interruption let her “cool down a little bit,” explained Radwanska, who would have risen to No. 1 in the rankings by beating Williams but instead will be No. 2, behind Victoria Azarenka. “When I was going on the court the second time, I just felt like a normal match.

Didn’t seem like a final anymore, so there was not that much pressure.”

Radwanska played her usual steady game, and Williams began making more and more errors.

A string of mistakes — swinging volley into the net, double-fault, backhand long, backhand into the net — let Radwanska break to even the match at one set apiece. What appeared to be a rather drab final, bereft of any drama, suddenly became interesting.

“She got a little nervous out there, in my opinion.

In the second set, I think she might have thought, ‘Well, I got this here,’” said Williams’ father, Richard.

Murray to try for British breakthrough today WIMBLEDON, ENGLAND (AP) — The Brits know how to stage a coronation, and they’ll do so today for either regal Roger Federer or one of their own, Andy Murray.

Queen Elizabeth II has another commitment, but the former Kate Middleton and the British prime minister will be on hand to see who reigns at Wimbledon.

Plenty of history will be written in the men’s final at tennis’ most traditionrich tournament. Federer can add to his record 16 Grand Slam championships, and he would tie a record by winning Wimbledon for a seventh time.

He also would claim the ATP’s top ranking for the first time since June 2010, and match Pete Sampras’ record of 286 weeks at No. 1.

“There’s a lot on the line for me,” Federer said.

Murray, meanwhile, is merely trying to become the first British man to win a Grand Slam title since Fred Perry took Wimbledon and the U.S. Championships in 1936.

“It has been a great tournament so far,” Mur-

Britain’s abuzz. Even without the queen, the Royal Box is certain to be packed, along with the rest of Centre Court. Tickets are going for more than 2,600 pounds ($4,000).

Thousands have bought 8-pound ($12.40) grounds passes to picnic near Wimbledon’s practice courts on the grassy hill known these days as Murray Mount, watching the match on a huge video screen.

Loyalties will be divided. Brits love Federer, the celebrated Swiss whose graceful game is so well suited to the All England Club. He’ll receive sentimental support because he has endured a reign delay, going 21⁄2 years without a major title while being eclipsed by Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal. Now, at 30, he could become the first thirtysomething man to win Wimbledon since Arthur Ashe in 1975.

Murray is more a matter of geography, and even then it’s complicated.

He’s a native of Scotland, where there’s a campaign afoot to break away from Britain. Whenever Mur-

ray loses, the English tend to call him Scottish, not British.

But for the moment, when it comes to lawn tennis, the United Kingdom is united.

Brits invented the game and, in 1877, started Wimbledon. They’ve won the men’s title 35 times, more than any other country, but not since before World War II. And no British woman has won Wimbledon since Virginia Wade in 1977.

Londoners have accepted the championship drought with good humor, especially where Murray is concerned. Waitresses at restaurants in Wimbledon village roll their eyes at the mention of his name.

Last Sunday at the village’s Emmanuel Church, when the pastor noted from the pulpit that Brits are rooting for Murray, the congregation responded with groans and giggles.

It doesn’t help that he has been beaten in the semifinals each of the past three years, nor that he has lost every set in his three Grand Slam finals, including against Federer at the 2008 U.S. Open and 2010 Australian Open.

A breakthrough victory came Friday versus Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, making the 25-year-old Murray the first British man to reach the final since Bunny Austin in 1938.

A day at the beach with Victoria Legrand Beach House singer discusses downside of corporate radio and making honest music

By Alex Garrison acgarrison@ljworld.com

Baltimore two-piece Beach House became something of an indie zeitgeist representative with its 2010 record, “Teen Dream,” forcing even casual music fans to reckon with the term “dream pop” and its implications.

“Teen Dream” got called the fifth-best album of that year by apparent tastemakers Pitchfork (2006’s self-titled had been 16th and 2008’s “Devotion” 46th) and the band toured extensively before this year’s highly anticipated and well-reviewed “Bloom.”

Beach House is Alex Scally, 30, and Victoria Legrand, 31.

They write together, mostly from within a small practice space in Baltimore, with

Deja view: Take steps to get out of a photo rut S

everal readers have commented to me before that they can often pick with a great success rate which Journal-World photographer shot a particular photo on a given day without looking at the credit.

It’s true; quite a many distinguishable differences exist from one photographer to the next, starting with what lens each prefers, how close we are from our subjects when we shoot and how we tend to compose our images. All of these points of consideration help define a style or how we make visual sense of our surroundings.

This idea became uncomfortably clear to me when KUSports.com editor Jesse Newell brought down two printouts of Ben McLemore dunking during the Bill Self basketball camp at the Horejsi Center. One was from June 2012 and the other from June 2011, both shot by me. I maintained a smile while Jesse marveled at the similarities between the two.

“You can even see the same advertisement,” he said.

While he was pointing this out, I was thinking, “Man, I really need to start moving around a bit more.”

gave me a helpful reminder of how important visual variety is for photographers — and especially photojournalists — who have to find new and interesting ways to cover

cyclical events. But even the casual shooter can improve the quality of his or her takes by experimenting with different focal lengths, distances or shooting from a drastically different angle.

Familiarity can be comforting — I guess that’s why we consciously or unconsciously gravitate to the spots where we’ve previously achieved some success. But the same choices time and time again can also lead to predictability.

007 exhibition: Spy as style icon

By Jill Lawless Associated Press

LONDON — If there’s one thing James Bond has taught us it’s that behind every great spy is a great tailor.

A new exhibition at London’s Barbican Centre explores the style of the suave secret agent, displaying costumes, props, set pieces and design drawings from half a century of 007 films.

Assembled with help from the films’ producer, EON Productions — which has a new Bond movie to promote in the fall — the exhibition includes the spy’s tuxedos, Bond girl ball gowns and villains’ vestments, as well as a selection of props and gadgets.

There are also sketches by the films’ influential set designer, Ken Adam, whose cavernous lairs and sleek space stations did much to create the movies’ modernist luster.

The show is both a reflection of the remarkable staying power of Ian Fleming’s fictional secret agent and a tribute to the British, European and American craftspeople and designers who have created the look of the quintessentially British icon.

“The films always attracted the greatest design talent,” curator Bronwyn Cosgrave said Thursday.

Sang Tan/AP Photo

A RE-CREATION OF JILL MASTERSON’S GOLDEN BODY in the film “Goldfinger” is seen on display in the exhibition Designing 007 — Fifty Years of Bond Style on Thursday at the Barbican Centre in London.

They ranged from the German-born Adam to Academy Award-winning costume designer Lindy Hemming, a Briton who helped put together the exhibition.

Clips from the movies are screened throughout the exhibition, which includes items that have become mini-icons, from the white bikini worn by Ursula Andress in the first Bond film, “Dr. No,” to the tight blue swim trunks sported by Daniel Craig in “Casino Royale.”

Cosgrave said that since “Dr. No” in 1962, “Bond has consistently led the way” in style.

She said Sean Connery’s “conduit cut” suit by Saville Row tailor Anthony Sin-

clair from the 1960s films is “the men’s equivalent of a Chanel suit,” while a sharply cut tuxedo is so identified with the character it has become known as “the James Bond look.”

The first time Bond appeared onscreen, in “Dr. No,” viewers saw the silklined cuff of his tuxedo sleeve before they saw Connery’s face.

Cosgrave said the success of the look is simple to explain.

“It’s sexy,” she said.

“When does a man look his best? In a tuxedo.”

“Designing 007” opened Friday and runs to Sept. 5.

It will then tour internationally, opening at the TIFF Bell Lightbox in Toronto in October.

Parents who love these novels have asked the author to provide “watereddown” versions for their kids, Picoult says.

“I would never do that,” she said.

But when her daughter, Sammy, told her she

thought she had a good idea for a novel, Picoult liked the premise for a sweet love story involving a fictional Prince Charming and a 15-year-old girl reader who wishes he were real.

It’s not uncommon for authors to mention that they’ve gotten ideas from inquisitive offspring (Justin Cronin and “The Passage,” Ridley Pearson and “Peter and the Starcatchers”).

But Picoult may be one of the few who sat the kid down over summer break and taught her how to write the book.

“We literally sat side by side at the computer.

We would start talking. ... One would start the sentence, and one would finish.”

Sammy’s ideas sometimes won out, such as in the fairy tale sections (the book also includes illustrations). Her mom thought those parts should be jokey, but her daughter wanted a little darkness, like the scene in which mermaids guard a cave of dead suitors.

Family life The book actually took longer than a summer, but that was the main period of writing because Sammy was out of school. Picoult’s busy life also includes a stay-athome husband, two sons and a menagerie of farm animals. Her website provides the not-surpris-

“A good novel,” Graham Swift wrote in a recent essay in the New York Times Book Review, “is like a welcome pause in the flow of our existence; a great novel is forever revisitable.

Novels can linger with us long after we’ve read them — even, and perhaps particularly, novels that compel us to read them, all other concerns forgotten, in a single intense sitting.”

Swift has it right, and has given us another great novel in “Wish You Were Here.” Like his Booker Prize-winning “Last Orders,” his newest novel is an intimate portrait of relationships — family and romantic, complicated and happy and fraught.

Triggered by one event — in both books, a death — the story unfolds out over the course of years, a little here, a little there, and soon it feels as if the characters are a part of your life.

Set in England in the recent past, “Wish You Were Here” opens with Jack Luxton, a former farmer nearing middle age, in his bedroom with a shotgun, obviously in a

moment of extreme personal distress.

What has precipitated his crisis, we don’t yet know. We learn, though, that Jack and his younger brother, Tom, lost their mother at an early age; that their father was not a warm or loving presence in their lives; that their family dairy farm was devastated first by mad-cow disease and then by hoof-and-mouth.

We learn about Jack’s secret-at-first romance with the girl next door, Ellie, who later became his wife. We learn about the two Luxton ancestors who died in the first World War and the medal that one of them won; we learn that early on the morning of his 18th birthday, Tom fled the farm and joined the

ANAHEIM, CALIF. (AP) — Anne Enright’s novel “The Forgotten Waltz” and Robert Massie’s biography “Catherine the Great” have won the first-ever Andrew Carnegie Medals for Excellence in literature.

The American Library Association announced the awards last week. The Carnegie awards for fiction and nonfiction are the first adult prizes ever sponsored by the association, which manages the top honors for children’s literature, the John Newbery and Randolph Caldecott medals.

Enright and Massie each will receive $5,000. In its announcement, the library association praised Enright’s “supple prose” and Massie’s “compulsively readable” style. The Carnegie selection committee was chaired

Poet laureate working on memoir NEW YORK (AP) — The nation’s new poet laureate will be telling her own story, in prose.

Natasha Trethewey is working on a memoir, currently untitled, that has been acquired by Ecco. The publisher, an Trethewey imprint of HarperCollins, announced Monday that the book is scheduled to come out in 2014.

The 46-year-old Trethewey is the daughter of a white father and black mother. The memoir will tell of her childhood in the American South in the 1970s and ’80s.

Trethewey won the Pulitzer Prize in 2007 for her collection “Native Guard.”

This fall, she begins a one-year term as U.S. poet laureate.

Author Jodi Picoult, daughter collaborate on fantasy for young teens Jodi Picoult says her teenage co-writer won’t be fazed by an international book tour.

“That’s the easy part compared to a summer writing the book,” Picoult says confidently from her home in New Hampshire.

“It will be fun for me to have someone to travel with. I think we’re going to have a really good time.”

Picoult (pronounced pee-koe) and her daughter, Samantha van Leer, stopped in St. Louis recently as part of a tour that includes Great Britain, Australia and New Zealand to promote a novel for young adults, “Between the Lines,” published by Simon & Schuster (352 pages, $19.99; ages 12 and up).

. gusting to take something that’s special for somebody and mass market it for people who may enjoy it, but it won’t be special for them that found you.

Like, you’re their secret, and now you’re not their secret any more.

The things that define us are the things that we use to measure whether something’s good enough or the right decision. That’s why I don’t think it’s hard to be ‘true’ if that’s what you’re measuring everything up against. If you feel that something’s going to damage you, then you don’t do it. Pretty simple. Then what you are becomes what you are. You are already it.

Victoria Legrand: There’s no difference between this and our previous work because we’ve been saying since the first record that everything we’ve ever made is a collection of songs. That’s what a record is, a collection like the way a designer or artist has a collection or body of work.

Everything is there for a certain reason and in a precise order, and that order cannot be changed.

We felt like that with our first album, which had nine songs; we felt that way about “Devotion,” which had 11 songs; AG: But realistically we felt that way about aren’t there some times “Teen Dream,” which had when you have to balance 10 songs, and the same being who you are with about “Bloom,” which is something ...

We’re not going to let someone bring in video screens that cost $100,000 to try to make us look like King Kong. If there’s a space to show videos, we’ll make our own videos because that’s visuals, that’s something that someone’s going to see and associate with us and our music. It’s also about continuing a level of intimacy with your audience.

AG: Do you think bad music comes from losing that intimacy or giving up that control?

VL: A lot of radio is people putting their artistry or their ideas into the hands of managers who want to sell millions of records.

Instead they could have taken more time to build up and be artists. When you look at Adele, she did well because people really enjoyed her songs and wanted to hear something that was like a real person singing and a real voice that didn’t have 50 million layers of vocoder and stuff. People wanted to hear about someone f— ing having problems and being a mess.

It takes everything to make everything, though.

The good stuff can’t exist if there’s no crap to compare it to. There has to be conflict. Creativity requires conflict. It comes from feeling like you’re got to give love out because there isn’t enough. If there was enough love, there’d be nothing and everyone would be really complacent. If everything was really great and really artistic all the time, then maybe no one would make anything. You need the bad stuff to be able to get to the good stuff.

AG: I’m not sure if that’s a really optimistic or a really pessimistic way of looking at it.

VL: It’s neither, but just the way it is. There’s always been the top 40 that everyone doesn’t like and the real stuff that the kids are into that’s good. That’s been happening forever.

But I do think, if you look at the s— that’s popular right now compared to what was popular in 1975, it’s no contest. You’d prefer to listen to the top 40 from 1975. I mean, honestly, I would take soft-rock sleaze jams that sound so good compared to something big in 2012.

AG: So do you think that’s evidence of a downward progression in our pop culture? Are we just perceiving the sleaze jams, the trash culture of another era to be better because we weren’t around then, or do you really think our lowbrow stuff now is worse? I’ll admit I’d rather listen to the soft rock, too.

VL: The sleaze jams that sound so good? (Laughs.)

I can’t tell what’s happening. I can’t preach ... I don’t know. All I know is that everything is accelerating and getting faster and faster, and I do believe that people have the power to be in control of what they like and what they do, and I believe that people have the freedom to choose whether they want to be in reality or live in an alternate reality. This is where the world is going now.

It’s not just about, ‘I need to choose if I’ll be a good mother or career woman ...’ it’s to the level of beings — what kind of beings we want to be. Do we want to spend six hours a day on the Internet? Or do we want to spend one hour on the Internet and spend the rest of the day outside? Or playing guitar in a garage?

I don’t know if things are better or worse. I was talking to Alex about this yesterday ... I do think that the Internet is an amazing thing; I just think it’s the people who abuse — it’s all about how people use it.

We can’t blame anyone, we can only blame ourselves.

If the world’s f—ed up, we f—ed it up. Is it f—ed up?

It’s up to the individual at this point. The Internet can provide a good collective consciousness, but I really don’t know if things are better or worse. That’s an endless discussion.

It takes a lot more mental focus, and you’ve really got to be on your game.”

A broad skill set Anthony Mancini, who plays lead guitar on “Candour,” says Chris brings a unique skill set to both the stage and the recording studio.

“Chris is incredibly insightful,” Mancini says.

“When he gets a song put in front of him, he gets a lot of really cool ideas, especially on the vocal side. You can tell he gave a lot of effort to be in the studio as long as he was (for “Candour”). Sitting with him and then kind of bouncing a song back between the two of us — he always comes up with interesting ideas and changes. He’s a pretty good songwriter, for sure.”

Mancini says Allen’s ability to know exactly what he wanted on the album, mixed with his open, accepting demeanor, were integral to the creative process for “Candour.”

“That album was made without a band, but there were many musicians. It wasn’t just like a band going into a studio situation with the songs already practiced and rehearsed.

It was made over a long period of time with a collection of studio musicians,” Mancini says.

“What was able to make it work was that Chris had a pretty strong vision of what he wanted,” he says. “At the same time, Chris is incredibly patient — he knows what he wants, but he knows the individuals he’s bringing in are going to have their own styles. He specifically chose people for the songs based on their styles. So it’s kind of like cooking with an extensive recipe.”

Allen says working on “Candour” was rewarding for him, both as a musician and a studio engineer. He says he learned a lot about both music and himself in the process.

“There’s just something about the process of just doing it,” he says.

“Recording and finding out different micing techniques and know what settings on the processor are better for this microphone or that one.

It’s fun just discovering yourself. Going through my album was a great learning experience for that, and I’ll apply it to other bands.”

Squash bugs make annual return E

ven the best gardeners are plagued with hardto-control pests, and squash bugs are an insect that come back to battle every year.

A silver bullet for these persistent pests has yet to be found, but good cultural practices can help protect squash plants for a longer production season.

DEMONSTRATION GARDENS Butternut squash are nearly ready for harvest in the Douglas County Master Gardener Demonstration Gardens, 2110 Harper St. Master Gardeners are just starting to find squash bugs, but you are welcome to look for them too if you make it out for a visit. The nearby shrub border is in full bloom, and the new shade garden offers a break from the summer sun.

Garden Calendar

Jennifer Smith smithjen@ksu.edu

Lucinda McDaris, who gardens in rural southern Jefferson County, knows the bane of squash bugs well: Her squash crop was wiped out last season when the bugs moved into her garden.

This year, McDaris is working hard to stay ahead of the squash bugs and other pests.

“I am pretty good about coming out and checking for bugs every night,” McDaris says.

The “bad” bugs, like squash bugs, are collected and delivered to her chickens for the birds to eat. The night before I visited, McDaris said she collected a large handful of squash bugs and a few hundred striped blister beetles that are also moving through gardens right now.

Besides feeding them to the chickens, you can dispose of handpicked insects any way you see fit. Squash bugs can indeed be squashed, but avoid this action with blister beetles as they will cause just what their name implies.

Squash bugs use their piercing, sucking mouthparts to suck the juices (and the life) out of both plants and the squash itself. On the fruit, their feeding causes distortion and decreases the post-harvest shelf life.

Squash bug feeding on foliage and stems makes leaves yellow, wilt and die.

Adult squash bugs are grey to brown (often indistinguishable on bare soil) with wings that partially cover a darker abdomen. They are more elongated than shield-shaped stinkbugs and can grow to up to threefourths of an inch long. Baby

SQUASH BUGS can return to a garden year after year and cause a lot of damage to the crops, as shown above and below.

squash bugs, called nymphs, are typically green to light gray and darken as they mature.

McDaris says she also looks for squash bug eggs, which typically appear in clusters on the undersides of leaves and are coppery in color. She tears out the little section of leaf they are attached to and destroys it to prevent the squash bug population from building.

This year McDaris put out boards around the squash plantings, which is a common recommendation in squash

bug control. The idea is that the bugs will gather on the undersides of the boards and can easily be handpicked in nightly scouting.

“I don’t think it’s working,” McDaris confides. She has only found a few bugs on the boards in comparison with the bugs she has picked off the squash plants.

“I planted really late this year, too,” says McDaris, hoping she would be able to get some squash later in the season. “At some point, you even-

tually quit fighting them.”

K-State Research and Extension also recommends removing plant debris from the garden at the end of the season to reduce overwintering sites for squash bugs and rotating crops when possible.

Cheesecloth, netting or row covers can be used to protect the plantings, but they must be removed often enough for bees to pollinate the flowers, so they are not always feasible.

There are a few species of

beneficial insects that prey on squash bugs, including different parasitic wasps and tachinid flies. Beneficial insects can be purchased and released into the area but are often ineffective because they cannot be kept there.

Both organic and conventional insecticides are most effective on squash bug nymphs.

Adult squash bugs have a thick exterior cuticle that protects them from insecticides, and eggs are also impervious. A number of insecticides are labeled for squash bug control, however. If you choose to use an insecticide, read the label to be sure squash bugs and the type of squash plant you want to protect are both listed on the label. Both conventional and organic insecticides can also kill bees that are necessary for pollination.

According to K-State Research and Extension, there are not known squash or pumpkin varieties that are resistant or immune to squash bug damage. A few types of squash have shown less damage from squash bugs in research trials than other varieties. The least damaged squash varieties are Butternut, Royal Acorn, Sweet Cheese, Green Striped Cushaw, Pink Banana and Black Zucchini.

Fighting squash bugs and other pests, keeping up with watering in the drought, and occasional visits from deer, raccoons, and the neighbor’s donkeys keep McDaris jumping.

“I work hard, I work a fulltime job and this is almost a full-time job, too,” she says, “but I love it.”

Veggie people popular at turn of 20th century THE GREAT AMERICAN TEA CO. of New York City used this “veggie” trade card in the 1860s.

The “man” in a top hat has the body of a peach and the caption says, “A swell peach.” In the slang of the day the word “swell” meant a rich society man. Value, about $40.

By Terry Kovel

Fresh vegetables were part of the diet of the Victorian household during the warm, growing months. But stored root vegetables and home canned food were used on snowy days.

Advertisers knew that imaginary vegetables acting like humans were as popular a fantasy as fairies, elves, brownies, pixies and gnomes.

Few color pictures were available. Magazines and newspapers were printed in black and white. But in the 1880s, retail stores advertised with colored trade cards, about 6-inchby-2-1/2-inch, that were saved and often put in scrapbooks.

There were many different anthropomorphic fruit and vegetable cards.

Humanized veggies were pictured not only in the U.S. but also in England, Germany, France and Italy.

The comic figures with human bodies often had names, Mr. Prune, The Baldwin Twins (apple heads) or Mr. Pumpkin.

And there often was a fun-

ny caption, like two strawberry heads asking “What are you doing in my bed?”

The trade cards are not the only place for veggie people. Vegetable people postcards came next, about 1900. Figural salt and pepper shakers, children’s books, decorated plates and even small figu-

rines were popular in the early 1900s.

Now that eating fresh food is a national goal, veggie people are being noticed by collectors. And maybe they will encourage the family to eat their fruit and vegetables.

define these words differently. Most collectors accept the U.S. Customs Service’s 1930 definition of an “antique” as something of value that’s 100 or more years old.

In 1993 the U.S. Customs Modernization Act added that if the “essential character” of a piece has been changed or more than half of it has been repaired or restored, it’s no longer considered an antique.

A “collectible” is therefore something of value (to someone) that’s less than 100 years old.

The term “vintage” is wishy-washy. It’s often used to describe clothing your grandmother — or even your mother — wore or furniture in your childhood bedroom. We usually use the word “vintage” to describe something of value that’s more than 50 years old and “collectible” to refer to anything under 50. But there are no hard and fast rules.

Tip: A mirror made from an antique picture frame is worth about half as much as a period mirror in a period frame.

If wife demands exclusion, leave her on her own Dear Annie: I have been married for 24 years to my high school sweetheart, and we have two sons. For most of this time, I have put up with my wife not allowing any mention of my family or involvement whatsoever in any activities. I don’t know why this is so, and she won’t tell me. Although I can see my family on my own, I am not allowed to invite them to our home for a holiday, and my parents are permitted to see our kids only on rare occasion. Of course, when it’s about her family, she expects me to jump.

I know my father was less than perfect 30 years ago, but I have forgiven him, and he has righted his wrongs. He is a good grandfather to my two boys. My mother and sisters have done absolutely nothing to deserve such poor treatment. But anytime I bring up the issue, my wife shuts down

all communication for about a month.

My dad is remarried, and his new wife has two children my age, and I like them and want my wife to get to know them. They are good, wholesome people. But I’m not even permitted to mention their names.

I once decided to simply bring them over to the house, but my wife’s behavior was so rude and embarrassing that I won’t do that again. And then she didn’t speak to me for a month.

I want to spend time

‘Turtle Boy’ is stranger than fiction

A human-interest story crossed with tabloid elements of superstition, sympathy and terror, “Turtle Boy” (8 p.m. Sunday, National Geographic) recalls a young boy beset with a medical affliction that is straight out of science fiction or forest legend.

The son of poor farmers in rural Colombia, 6-year-old Didier Montalvo was born with congenital melanocytic nevus, a rare condition characterized by an abundance of moles on the body. Only in Didier’s case, they gathered to become one giant mole, encasing his back and parts of his chest like a giant tortoise shell. Neighboring children taunted him as “Turtle Boy.” Worse, his mother’s neighbors blamed her for his condition, whispering that she defied warnings and looked up during a rare eclipse of the sun.

After years of suffering, Didier’s story gained the attention of a Colombian television personality who turned the boy into a national celebrity and object of pity, soliciting donations that enabled Didier to travel to Bogota for a delicate and expensive procedure. Didier’s story also caught the attention of two London surgeons who are leading experts on the rare condition and wanted to treat the most extreme case on record.

As they explained, removing the giant mole was not merely for the sake of comfort or appearance. In most cases, these moles can become malignant and cause fatal cancers in their young hosts.

“Inspector Lewis” enters its fifth season on “Masterpiece Mystery!” (8 p.m. Sunday, PBS).

Oxford University and its bucolic surroundings are the backdrop for murders macabre and bizarre.

Tonight: An obsessive professor is found slain and buried in a fashion that suggests a ritual killing.

Sunday’s other highlights

Web therapy on “Secret Millionaire” (7 p.m., ABC).

A fashion-forward woman requires the help of “Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition” (8 p.m., ABC).

In search of Russell on “True Blood” (8 p.m., HBO).

Will apologizes for some of his past on-air outbursts on “The Newsroom” (9 p.m., HBO). Despite withering reviews, HBO has already announced a second season pickup for this series.

In an awkward move for all concerned, Sean and Beverly decide to separate as a couple but collaborate on the set on “Episodes” (9:30 p.m., Showtime).

with my family, and I’d like my kids to know their grandparents, aunts and uncles. Please help. — Stuck in the Middle Dear Stuck: Unless your family did something unforgivable to your wife, there is no excuse for her controlling behavior. Since she refuses to explain her grudge, it’s impossible to determine whether it has merit, and you are apparently disinclined to tolerate the consequences of putting your foot down. Ask your wife to come with you for counseling, and if (when) she refuses, please get some for yourself. Feel free to spend as much time with your family as you like, and take the kids along whenever possible. They can develop a relationship with their grandparents independent of their mother.

Dear Annie: My mother is 89 and in failing health. My sister has

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Sunday, July 8: This year you focus on your feelings and emotions, especially come fall. You will notice that you have a tendency to land on your feet — like a cat with nine lives. If you are single, you know what works for you.

Do not settle. If you are attached, the two of you relate to each other with new energy and warmth.

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) Finally, you find time to be mellow and maybe even recuperate from recent socializing. How you handle a personal matter could change radically as you get some distance from the situation at hand.

Tonight: Make it an early bedtime.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You finally have time to hang out with friends. Put your feet up, jump in the pool or participate in some fun activity you all will enjoy.

Tonight: Make the most of the last few minutes of the weekend.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Remain sensitive with an older friend or relative. Go off and make plans together, yet leave some time for yourself. Tonight: Get a head start on tomorrow.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You really do not care what others seem to want or where they are coming from. Listen to your instincts with someone at a distance. Tonight: Put on a favorite piece of music.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You could be in tune with a partner to an unusual level. When you are this much in sync, mutual decisions emerge. Tonight: Have a good time.

gravy 42 Emulate

jacquelinebigar.com

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) People seem to keep coming toward you. For you, this could be overwhelming. Accept that, and enjoy the change. Tonight: Choose which person and which set of plans you would like to go along with.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Use today to settle in. A trip to the gym and/or some walking might be necessary to make you feel as good as possible. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You have such an adventuresome nature. Follow your instincts and do what you have wanted to do for a while. Tonight: Maximize every moment.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Mellow out at home with a friend or loved one. Much has gone on, and you might need a respite. Tonight: Dinner for two.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Whether you are ready or not, others open up and spill the beans. Some of what you hear could stun you, while other information might delight you. Tonight: Go with someone’s suggestion.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Your impression of someone could change radically as he or she starts to open up. You might be surprised by what you hear. Determine what you want Tonight: Treat others to a favorite dessert.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You are in your element, and no matter what you share or choose to do, things seem perfect. Consider this moment golden.

Tonight: If you can dream it up, it probably can happen.

Can we eliminate him from all the arrangements and not expect any legal repercussions?

He’s very vindictive. — Concerned in Vermont Dear Vermont: There is no legal requirement that a death notice or funeral service be worded in a specific way or include specific people.

The tax man cometh to police you on health care

By Stephen Ohlemacher Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court’s decision to uphold most of President Barack Obama’s health care law will come home to roost for most taxpayers in about 2 1/2 years, when they’ll have to start providing proof on their tax returns that they have health insurance.

That scenario puts the Internal Revenue Service at the center of the debate, renewing questions about whether the agency is capable of policing the health care decisions of millions of people in the United States while also collecting the taxes needed to run the federal government.

Under the law, the IRS will provide tax breaks and incentives to help pay for health insurance and impose penalties on some people who don’t buy coverage and on some businesses that don’t offer it to employees.

The changes will require new regulations, forms and publications, new computer programs and a big new outreach program to explain it all to taxpayers and tax professionals.

Businesses that don’t claim an exemption will have to prove they offer health insurance to employees.

Tax law changes The health care law “includes the largest set of tax law changes in more than 20 years,” according to the Treasury inspector general who oversees the IRS. The agency will have to hire thousands of workers to manage it, requiring significant budget increases that already are being targeted by congressional Republicans determined

BRIEFLY 6 injured in first running of the bulls PAMPLONA, SPAIN — One elderly thrill-seeker was gored in a leg and five others slightly injured as thousands of adrenalinefueled runners raced ahead of six fighting bulls in the streets of the northern Spanish city of Pamplona in the first running of the bulls of this year’s San Fermin festival, officials said Saturday.

Runners, in traditional white clothing and red kerchiefs around their necks, tripped over each other or fell in the mad daredevil annual rush along early morning dew-moistened slippery streets to the city’s bull ring.

One youth got the top of his shirt and kerchief caught on a bull’s horn, inches from his face, and was dragged several yards along the ground, but was seen to get up and run away.

The gored runner, a 73-year-old Pamplona resident, was taken to a local hospital, and five others were treated for cuts and bruises, the regional government of the province of Navarre said in a statement.

“

Knowing the complexity of the health law, there’s no question that the IRS is going to struggle with this.”

— Rep. Charles Boustany Jr., R-La., chairman of the House Ways and Means oversight subcommittee to dismantle the president’s signature initiative.

“Knowing the complexity of the health law, there’s no question that the IRS is going to struggle with this,” said Rep. Charles Boustany Jr., R-La., chairman of the House Ways and Means oversight subcommittee.

“The IRS wants more resources. Well, we need to start digging down into what are they doing with the resources and personnel.”

Treasury spokeswoman Sabrina Siddiqui said, “The overwhelming majority of funds used by the agency to implement the Affordable Care Act go to administer the premium tax credits, which will be a tax cut averaging about $4,000 for more than 20 million middle-class people and families.”

Enforcing the mandate The Supreme Court, in its 5-4 ruling, upheld the mandate that most Americans get health insurance.

The majority said Congress has the power to enforce the mandate under its taxing authority. The decision labeled the penalties a tax, noting that they will be collected by the IRS. Those who don’t get qualified health insurance will be required to pay the penalty — or tax — start-

ing for the 2014 tax year, unless they are exempt because of low income, religious beliefs, or because they are members of American Indian tribes.

The penalty will be fully phased in by 2016, when it will be $695 for each uninsured adult or 2.5 percent of family income, whichever is greater, up to $12,500. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates that 4 million people will pay the penalty that year.

The law, however, severely limits the ability of the IRS to collect the penalties. There are no civil or criminal penalties for refusing to pay it, and the IRS cannot seize bank accounts or dock wages to collect it. No interest accumulates for unpaid penalties.

So how can the IRS enforce the mandate? Scary letters and threats to withhold tax refunds.

The law allows the IRS to withhold tax refunds to collect the penalty, and most filers get refunds.

This year, 77 percent of the 135 million individual income tax returns processed by the IRS qualified for a refund. The average refund: $2,707.

For those who don’t qualify for a refund, a stern letter from the IRS can be effective, even if it doesn’t come with the threat of civil or criminal penalties, said Elizabeth Maresca, a former IRS trial attorney who supervises the Tax & Consumer Litigation Clinic at the Fordham University law school.

“Most people pay because they’re scared, and I don’t think that’s going to change,” Maresca said.

ANALYSIS

GOP hopes lumbering economy dooms Obama

By Charles Babington Associated Press

WASHINGTON — History repeats itself, until it doesn’t.

That musty saw is worth remembering as pundits speculate on whether the lumbering economy will doom the re-election hopes of President Barack Obama, who has shown a knack for beating odds and breaking barriers.

Clearly, some important trends are working against him. The latest evidence came Friday in a lackluster jobs report that said the nation’s unemployment rate was stuck at 8.2 percent.

Franklin D. Roosevelt was the last president to win re-election with so much joblessness. Voters ousted Presidents Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush when the jobless rate was well under 8 percent.

It’s not as if Obama can divert public attention from the economy, which 103 dead in southern has dominated the election from the start.

Obama challenges Romney in new ad WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is challenging Mitt Romney’s promises to crack down on China’s trading practices, saying in an ad released Saturday that the Republican candidate profited by allowing China to strip away U.S. jobs.

Obama’s ad turns again to a recent Washington Post report that several businesses backed by Romney’s former private equity firm moved American jobs to China and India to cut costs.

In a parting shot, a narrator says Romney is “not the solution. He’s the problem.” ster and consultant Mike McKenna. “The survey data tells you he’s not dead.”

There’s a problem with applying historical precedents and conventional wisdom to Obama. He sometimes defies them.

Before the 2008 campaign took shape, how many people thought the United States would elect a black president? Or that a man four years removed from the Illinois Legislature would outmaneuver Bill and Hillary Clinton’s political machine?

Besides, no senator had been elected president in more than four decades.

Obama’s political resilience has left Republicans quarreling over how best to combat him.

Romney largely has followed a play-it-safe approach. It suggests he and his aides think the president is on a slow but steady decline and there’s no need to take big gambles.

An AIDS-free generation: It seems an audacious goal, considering how the HIV epidemic still is raging around the world. Yet more than 20,000 international HIV researchers and activists will gather in the nation’s capital later this month with a sense of optimism not seen in many years — hope that it finally may be possible to stem the spread of the AIDS virus.

minorities and urban areas such as the District of Columbia, where the rate of infection rivals some developing countries. The conference will spotlight this city’s aggressive steps to fight back: a massive effort to find the undiagnosed, with routine testing in some hospitals, testing vans that roam the streets, even free tests at a Department of Motor Vehicles office, and then rapidly getting those patients into care.

“These are the true champions,” Dr. Mohammed Akhter, director of the city’s health department, said of patients who faithfully take their medication. “They’re also protecting their community.”

About 34 million people worldwide have HIV, including almost 1.2 million Americans. It’s a very different epidemic from the last time the International AIDS Conference came to the United States in 1990.

Life-saving drugs emerged a few years later, turning HIV from a death sentence into a manageable chronic disease for people and countries that can afford the medications.

Yet for all the improvements in HIV treatment, the rate of new infections in the U.S. has held steady for about a decade. About 1 in 5 Americans with HIV don’t know they have it, more than 200,000 people who unwittingly can spread the virus.

United Nations envoy Annan says efforts to solution in Syria failing

By Ben Hubbard Associated Press

BEIRUT — Special U.N. envoy Kofi Annan acknowledged in an interview published Saturday that the international community’s efforts to find a political solution to the escalating violence in Syria have failed.

Annan also said that more attention needed to be paid to the role of longtime Syrian ally Iran, and that countries supporting military actors in the conflict were making the situation worse.

“The evidence shows that we have not succeeded,” he told the French daily Le Monde.

Annan, the special envoy for the United Nations and the Arab League, is the architect of the most prominent international plan to end the crisis in Syria, which activists say has killed more than 14,000 people since March 2011.

His six-point plan was to begin with a cease-fire in mid-April between government forces and rebels seeking to topple the regime of President Bashar Assad. But the truce never took hold, and now the almost 300 U.N. observers sent to

Activists reported more than 50 people killed on Saturday alone, after some 800 people last week.

Annan defended the unarmed observers, saying it was not their job to stop the violence, but to monitor the sides’ adherence to the truce.

He offered few suggestions on how the plan could be salvaged, only saying that Iran “should be part of the solution” and that criticism too often focused on Russia,

which has stood by the regime.

“Very few things are said about other countries that send arms and money and weigh on the situation on the ground,” he said, without naming any specific countries.

It is unclear what role Annan envisions for Iran, a longtime Syrian longtime ally that has stood by the regime throughout the uprising. Tehran’s close ties could make it an interlocutor with the regime, though the U.S. has often refused to let the Islamic Republic attend conferences about the Syria crisis.

Russia provides the Assad regime with most of its weapons. No countries are known to be arming the rebels, though some Gulf Arab states have spoken positively of doing so.

The U.S. and other Western nations have sent non-lethal aid, like communications equipment.

The Syrian uprising began in March, 2011, when people first took to the streets to call for political reforms. Since then, the government has waged a brutal crackdown, and many in the opposition have taken up arms, sidelining peaceful activists and changing the conflict into an armed insurgency.
