A GREAT BLUE HERON FISHES IN THE WATER THURSDAY AT THE SITE OF THE BAKER WETLANDS RESTORATION PROJECT, south of 31st and Louisiana streets. Baker University will receive a $9 million endowment to rebuild and manage about 300 acres of new wetlands as part of mitigation efforts to replace 56 acres that will be lost pending the construction of the South Lawrence Trafficway. AT TOP: Roger Boyd, who has managed the Baker Wetlands site since the ’80s explains that he has heard from his share of skeptics regarding whether the land could even be restored to wetlands.

Some offices in state offer online check-in, expanded hours

By Shaun Hittle sdhittle@ljworld.com

At 6:30 a.m. Friday, about 30 people hoping to renew or apply for driver’s licenses waited outside the state’s Douglas County service station in Lawrence, 1035 N. Third St., for the 7 a.m. opening.

By 9:30, the line had moved inside, but it had swollen to standing-roomonly, snaking around the office.

Some folks read books

while others slouch, showing disgruntled looks.

For weeks, people have been reporting the same scene: two- and threehour waits at the local service station.

“Very frustrating,” said Kansas Department of Revenue spokeswoman Jeannine Koranda of the long wait times.

County treasurer agrees with need for audit of DMV switchover

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

Douglas County Treasurer Paula Gilchrist said she agrees with the decision by a legislative committee to launch an audit into what went wrong with the Kansas Department of Revenue’s $40 million computer upgrade of the system that handles motor vehicle tags and renewals.

Like several other counties, Douglas County has experienced long lines and frustrated customers dealing with the new system.

“Our staff has worked very, very hard to get us to a place where we are not overwhelmed with problems,” said Gilchrist.

In a recent 5-3 vote, the Legislative Post Audit Committee approved looking into implementation of what is called the Department of Motor Ve-

hicles Modernization Project.

The $40 million contract with 3M Co. to replace an aging mo- Gilchrist tor vehicles mainframe system has produced many complaints.

Sen. Laura Kelly, D-Topeka, called the switchover a disaster. Kelly said she knows of people who have had to take days off from work to wait in line to get their vehicle tags.

“That is unacceptable,” she said.

Revenue Secretary Nick Jordan acknowledged there have been problems and said the agency is working to correct them.

He noted that the department has withheld its final payment from 3M until

improvements are made to the program.

But Jordan also indicated some of the problem may have been because officials in some counties didn’t avail themselves to enough training on the new system.

Douglas County Treasurer Gilchrist disagreed, saying many problems have arisen that had nothing to do with training.

She said she believed the state did not test the system enough before implementing it in May. And she said some of the programs weren’t working.

“There were records in the old system that didn’t transfer over to the new system. We had to take the time to log into two or three systems and re-create your record,” she said.

Several members of the committee voted against the audit saying

it wouldn’t be completed until April 2013, long after the system is finally implemented.

“I understand the concern — I’m just questioning what benefit it would provide for the Legislature and for the citizens of Kansas,” state Rep. Virgil Peck, R-Tyro, said.

Kelly said she wasn’t trying to point fingers but thought an audit would help in future computer system switchovers.

“This will provide a road map the next time we make a radical transition from one program to another,” she said.

Gilchrist said a study would provide some explanation to citizens.

“I think the taxpayers are going to want to understand why this happened,” she said.

BRIEFLY Saline County’s ‘70 tractor brings in $56K SALINA — Saline County officials got a nice surprise recently when a rusty old tractor they put up for auction online brought in more than five times what they paid for it 40 years ago.

The 1970 Industrial International sold this past week for $56,100 on the Purple Wave auction website, The Salina Journal reported.

The tractor, which Saline County bought for $9,607 in 1970, was among several items that the county auctioned off to make money for new equipment. Other items included mowers, trucks, road graders, air compressors and bridge planks.

Bidding on the tractor took Saline County officials by surprise. Apart from being 40 years old, the tractor has a dead battery, rust spots, cracked front tires and areas caked with hydraulic fluid sludge. But it also has a 6-cylinder diesel engine and a loader with a 7-foot bucket.

Police identify man killed in home invasion TOPEKA — Authorities have released the name of a man killed while barging into a Topeka home.

Cpt. Jerry Stanley said Friday that the victim of Thursday night’s shooting was 31-year-old Cyril K. Smith.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reported that he was one of at least two men who entered a Topeka house with several people inside. Gunfire erupted, and Smith was killed.

Police say one person believed to be linked to the case has been arrested, and several other people have been interviewed.

Stanley said the motive for the intrusion is being determined. But he stressed that there isn’t an indication that it was a “random act” or that the public is in danger.

Police are asking the public to call with tips.

Fair offers glimpse of Montessori school

By Meagan Thomas mthomas@ljworld.com

Lawrence parents and children filled Lawrence Montessori School, 5005 Legends Drive, Saturday, not for a regular school day but to enjoy a kids fair hosted by the school.

“It’s just been so hot, so it’s a nice alternative to giving children fun activities to do indoors and to expose them to a variety of activities,” said Purviz Birdie, head of Lawrence Montessori School.

The fair started with a concert

by Rockin’ Rob, which was followed by a cooking demonstration by Montessori School Chef Conor Brown and a free lunch of pasta, pesto and fruit salad. Ongoing activities throughout the day included tumbling and open gym with Lawrence Gymnastics Academy, taekwondo from ATA

Prime Martial Art, face painting by Bee Creative Studio, music activities with Meadowlark Music and Jubilee Music and a chemistry demonstration by Mad Chemistry and the Kansas University physics department.

There was also a raffle drawing and tours of the school for parents interested in enrolling their children there.

“There’s not a lot of things like this on a Saturday or Sunday,” Danielle Sanger, a parent at the fair, said.

Sanger has two children who went through preschool with Birdie and strongly believes in the programs and the mission of the Lawrence Montessori School.

“An event like this gives people a chance to bring their kids and see what the Montessori school (has to offer),” Sanger said.

The Lawrence Montessori

School opened in 2010 for children ages three months to 6 years old, and its purpose is to nurture the students’ intellect and spirit.

“We want to instill a love of learning in young children and make sure we’re providing a variety of enriching experiences in addition to excelling in academics,” Birdie said.

Parendi Birdie, assistant head of Lawrence Montessori School, said she expected about 300 guests to attend and was pleased when more than 350 stopped by the free event.

“It really shows what a need there is in the community and how invested the community is in their children and their children’s futures,” Parendi said.

operational aspects of the facility. That may include more detail about how the city of Lawrence and Kansas University both feasibly will be able to use the facility.

If you remember, the concept plan calls for a large indoor recreation center/fieldhouse with multiple gyms, an indoor walking track, fitness areas, and several other large spaces. The concept also includes plans for an outdoor track and field stadium and a competition-grade soccer field.

The track and field and soccer components largely would be designed to meet KU’s needs, while the recreation center/ fieldhouse would be a city project. But people have been curious about what potential there is for crossover use between the two entities. The complex would be located on the northwest corner of Sixth Street and the South Lawrence Trafficway.

I think people also have been curious about how much it may cost the city to run this facility. Based on the latest numbers I have seen out of City Hall, city officials believe the city likely would have to subsidize the operational cost of the recreation center/fieldhouse by about $300,000 a year. Total operation costs likely would be higher than that, but the city is counting on the facility generating revenue from tournaments, concession sales, classes and other activities. I believe city officials expect there will be enough room in the already-approved countywide 1-cent sales tax to cover those operational expenses.

We’ll also see what details are available about the larger development that will surround the recreation center. The city has on its website a concept plan that shows the layout of the recreation complex. But the plan also shows the surrounding property that is located on the northwest corner of the intersection. All that property would be zoned for commercial use under the current proposal.

The plan shows that there would be about nine to 10 lots for additional commercial development, with one of the lots being much larger than all the others.

Neuvant expansion There are more signs that the health care market in Lawrence is holding up Mark Israel, well.

Neuretired, vant House, Lawrence a west Law“The main thing has been rence health the line. The most I have care facility HEALTH had to wait is an hour.” that specializes in treating people with Alzheimer’s and dementia, has filed plans at City Hall for a significant expansion.

The company is seeking to build a nearly 15,000-square-foot expansion onto its existing building at 1216 Biltmore Drive. The expansion would more than double the size of the current facility.

Plans call for 14 private Terri Hetfield, apartments to be added homemaker, to the complex. Some of Owosso, Mich. the apartments would be “No. In Michigan it’s easy. equipped to handle both You are in, and you’re out.” a patient and a spouse of a patient. Matt Stephens, administrator for Neuvant House, said the expansion also will allow Neuvant to expand upon its end-oflife care services.

Stephens said the company hopes to break ground in the next two months, and then open 10 to 12 months later. Currently, the project is being reviewed for approval by city planners.

The project comes at about the same time anSimerun Singh, other Alzheimer’s care unemployed graduate, unit has been proposed Lawrence for west Lawrence. As “No, not with the serwe reported in June, city vices or administration, I commissioners approved haven’t.” a 5,000-square-foot Alzheimer’s unit for property on the west side of

LAWRENCE Research Park Drive between Bob Billings Parkway and 18th Street. Of note on that project is that Diane Ensminger, the CEO of the Ballard Center, is opening that facility as a private project. She’ll continue on as Ballard Center director.

Neuvant House’s expansion comes about two years after the company first located in Lawrence.

Stephens said Lawrence is an attractive place for the baby boomer generation to live, and as a result, memory care services likely will be in higher demand in the future.

“I think as the baby boomers age, we’re going to see more need for this type of care,” Stephens said.

New flea market What I can always use more of is a flea market.

If nothing else, a good flea market aggravates my wife. While I give her a hard time about her trips to department stores, jewelry stores, shoe stores, purse stores, beauty supply stores … well, we really don’t have time to go through this whole list. Anyway, while I give her a hard time about that type of shopping, she gives me a hard time about my affinity for buying other people’s used treasure.

(That’s not exactly the phrase she uses.)

Well, it looks like fans of the genre soon will have another Lawrence option.

Lawrence resident Angela Longhurst has filed plans with City Hall to have a monthly flea market in east Lawrence.

Currently, the flea markets are planned for the first Saturday of each month on the vacant lot at East Eighth and Pennsylvania streets. The lot is owned

by Tony Krsnich, the fellow who has successfully renovated the nearby Krsnich Poehler Grocery Warehouse Building into an affordable apartment complex.

Krsnich would like for the vacant lot to become a bit of a hub of activity for the east Lawrence neighborhood. He has discussed having concerts on the property and also has contemplated open-air art events and other types of uses.

As for the flea market, the next one is scheduled for Aug. 4, with future dates set for Sept. 1, Oct. 6 and Nov. 3. It looks like the market is scheduled to run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

As for the type of vendors on site, I’m not sure. But if any of you have attended the flea market that was being held on the first Saturday of the month at the TeePee Junction, I believe Longhurst was involved with that event.

Poehler grand opening Speaking of the renovated Poehler building, mark your calendars for July 27 if you are interested in seeing firsthand how that project turned out.

Krsnich and his crew are hosting a grand opening and ribbon cutting from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Poehler Lofts, 619 E. Eighth St. The event will include some light food and music. After the ribbon cutting, there will be several artists who will have work on display and for sale as part of the Final Fridays celebration that takes place the last Friday of each month in downtown Lawrence.

The arts are a major part of Krsnich’s plan for rejuvenating the area near Eighth and Pennsylvania streets. In fact, he has recently come up with a new name for the area: The Warehouse Arts District. My understanding is some artists already have moved into a former T-shirt warehouse in the area, and more are on the way. Krsnich also has started work to rehabilitate the old Ciderworks building near Eighth and Pennsylvania into an and

Bank merger off One deal that is no longer moving forward is a planned merger between Corner Bank, which has some operations in Lawrence, and Vintage Bank Kansas, which is headquarters out of the small community of Leon.

We reported in March that CornerBank, which is based in Winfield, would sell its stock to Vintage Bank Kansas.

The deal was a bit unique in that Vintage Bank is a smaller bank that CornerBank — $270 million versus about $12 million — but Vintage had a plan to create a new bank holding company that would allow it to expand into several communities. Executives from both CornerBank and Vintage were expected to join forces to create the new bank holding company.

But now the deal is apparently off. A release from the two banks announced they had agreed to terminate the deal. No real reasons were given.

“Given the passage of time and specific requirements detailed in the agreement, both CornerBank and Vintage agreed it was in both parties’ best interest to terminate the agreement,” Steve Worrell, president and CEO of Vintage Bank Kansas said in the statement.

Both sides left open the possibility of merger talks between the two parties restarting at some point.

LAWRENCE

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

Wetlands CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

lie between Haskell Avenue and Louisiana Street.

In some circles, he’s also become known as the man who sold out the future of the beloved natural area by agreeing to a Kansas Department of Transportation deal that would allow the controversial South Lawrence Trafficway to be built through a portion of the wetlands.

As the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the trafficway project last week, there’s now hope that chapter soon will be behind Boyd and this place.

Yes, Boyd said recently, the last 20 years of arguing has been hard to take at times. The accusations, the finger-pointing, the thought that the man who has given so much to these wetlands — and lost much, too — simply would stop caring about them.

He has, however, found an unlikely antidote for it all: a laugh every now and then.

“I’ve found it helps to keep a sense of humor,” Boyd said. “There are a lot of people who simply said things out of ignorance.” !"!"!

Boyd kneels beside a pool of water that surrounds flowering hibiscus plants. The mud along the water’s edge is full of tracks of small animals, no doubt glad that the dry summer hadn’t yet sapped all the wet from these new wetlands.

Boyd points at the tracks and declares them to be raccoon. There’s much that Boyd points at these days on the about 150 acres of new property just west of Louisiana Street that Baker has acquired as part of a mitigation package with KDOT. (The university will get about 150 additional acres east of Haskell Avenue to convert to wetlands once road construction begins.) There’s a nearly 5-acre pond that attracts a host of waterfowl; there’s an 1,100-foot boardwalk that takes visitors through the area; and there’s a multitude of wetland plants that have established themselves on man-made berms, swells and low-lying areas.

Perhaps what Boyd likes to point at the most, though, is the John Deere.

“There’s going to be a visitors center where the green tractor is parked,” Boyd said to a recent group of visitors.

By the beginning of 2014, Baker University hopes to begin construction on a 10,000-square-foot visitors center. It will have a staff of three people, including an education coordinator to usher through what Boyd expects will be thousands of students a year who attend the center for field trips.

The theme of the visitors center will be: “What wetlands have done for you lately.” Boyd said it would be a shame if after all these years of fighting, people ended up forgetting why wetlands were important to begin with. Boyd and his son Jon — who in 2009 became the third generation of Boyds to work on the wetlands when he became the project refuge manager — are eager for the center to open. They believe that could be by the end of 2014, but they are not waiting until then to start sharing the story of the new property, which Baker began converting into wetlands in 2008 by moving 56,000 cubic yards of soil.

“We’ve had a lot of people come out and visit us already,” Jon said of the property, which is open to the public from dawn till dusk. “And I think we have changed a lot of opinions. I think we have convinced a lot of people that the wetlands really aren’t going to be lost.”

When the restoration project is complete, the property will have a host of other amenities to show off, including: ! Four entrances to provide easy public access to the property. The main entrance will be at the visitors center, which will be about a half-mile south and west of the current 31st and Louisiana intersection.

could be improved by the project. KDOT would build far more wetlands than the road would take. In total, KDOT will pay for Baker to build 304 acres of wetlands to replace the 56 acres that will be taken by the trafficway. Importantly, KDOT will provide Baker with an approximately $9 million endowment to manage the wetlands. Baker is scheduled to receive that money in late 2013, when construction on the road begins. !"!"!

Today, the Boyds, perhaps, have never been happier at the wetlands.

Roger called last week’s finding by the U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals that the road project could continue like “Christmas in July.”

Jon lives at the property in an old farmhouse and gets to work full time with his father, which he said is “mostly enjoyable.”

But the happiness doesn’t just stem from the current moment. Jon is convinced that the new 304 acres of wetlands eventually will become seen as an “olive branch” to those who opposed the SLT project over concerns of the effects it would have on the wetlands.

Roger also is convinced the future is going to be much different. Whether it’s two years from now, five years, 10 years or who knows when, Boyd believes people who were once friends before this road project created such division will come back together again.

“Once the threat of this goes away, once it actually happens, there will be people who give it a second chance,” Boyd said. “I know there will be.”

In fact, Boyd goes a step further. He predicts that some of the best volunteers at Baker’s new wetlands will be the people who have fought the hardest against the road because there is no doubt that they care for this place.

But that thought does create a natural question: What will it be like when old friends, separated by a road, come back together?

“Well,” Roger said. “I think that is where that sense of humor is going to come in handy.”

Community Bike Ride set for July 21

FLORIDA GOV. RICK SCOTT SPEAKS in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., in this May 16 photo. In a victory for Republicans, the federal government has agreed to let Florida use a law enforcement database to challenge people’s right to vote if they are suspected of not being U.S. citizens. The agreement, made in a letter Scott’s administration that was obtained by The Associated Press, grants the state access to a list of resident noncitizens maintained by the Department of Homeland Security. The Obama administration had denied Florida’s request for months.

Feds allow Florida access to citizens list

By Charles Babington Associated Press

WASHINGTON — In a victory for Republicans, the federal government has agreed to let Florida use a law enforcement database to challenge people’s right to vote if they are suspected of not being U.S. citizens.

The agreement, made in a letter to Florida Gov. Rick Scott’s administration that was obtained

by The Associated Press, grants the state access to a list of resident noncitizens maintained by the Homeland Security Department. The Obama administration had denied Florida’s request for months but relented after a judge ruled in the state’s favor in a related voterpurge matter.

Voting rights groups, while acknowledging that noncitizens have no right to vote, have expressed alarm about using such data for a purpose not originally intended: purging voter lists of ineligible people. They also say voter purges less than four months before a presidential election might leave insufficient time to correct mistakes stemming from faulty data or other problems.

Democrats say that the government’s concession is less troubling than some GOP-controlled states’ push to require voters to show photo identification.

But Republicans count it as a victory nonetheless in their broad-based fight over voter eligibility, an issue that could play a big role in the White House race. That’s especially true in pivotal states such as Florida, Colorado, Nevada and North Carolina.

Republican officials in several states say they are trying to combat voter fraud. Democrats, however, note that proven cases of voter fraud are rare. They accuse Republicans of cynical efforts to suppress voting by people in lower socio-economic groups who tend to vote Democratic.

The Homeland Security decision may affect places

Florida Gov. Rick Scott, whose administration had sued Homeland Security for access to the SAVE list, said the agreement “marks a significant victory for Florida and for the integrity of our election system.” beyond Florida, because Colorado and other states have asked for similar access to the federal database.

After a judge recently ruled against federal efforts to stop Florida’s aggressive voter-list review, Homeland Security agreed to work on details for how the state can access the federal SAVE database — Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements — to challenge registered voters suspected of being noncitizens.

Florida has agreed that it can challenge voters only if the state provides a “unique identifier,” such as an “alien number,” for each person in question.

Alien numbers generally are assigned to foreigners living in the country legally, often with visas or other permits such as green cards.

Unless they become naturalized citizens, however, they cannot vote.

The agreement will prevent Florida from using only a name and birthdate to seek federal data about a suspected noncitizen on voter rolls.

The SAVE list is unlikely to catch illegal immigrants in any state who might have managed to register to vote because such people typically would not have an alien number.

Scott, whose administration had sued Homeland Security for access to the SAVE list, said the agreement “marks a significant victory for Florida and for the integrity of our election system.”

“Access to the SAVE database will ensure that noncitizens do not vote in future Florida elections,” Scott said in a statement Saturday.

It’s time to dust off those bicycles and air up the tires.

The second annual Lawrence Community Bike Ride event will be from 8 a.m. to noon July 21 at The Rotary Arboretum, 5100 W. 27th St. It’s a family-friendly event that’s geared toward beginning bicyclists, with three distances to choose from: one mile, three miles and 10 miles. The 10-mile ride starts at 8 a.m., followed by the three-mile ride at 9 a.m. The one-mile loop can be started at anytime. The event is free and open to anyone.

“We wanted to do something that promoted a healthy lifestyle,” said Steve Lane, a member of the Lawrence Central Rotary Club, which is organizing the event.

An area will be available where children can safely remove their training wheels and learn how to ride with the help of bicycle experts, as well as a station where free helmets and bicycle lights will be handed out on a first-come, first-served basis, and bicyclists will be available to offer safety tips.

Last year’s inaugural event drew 125 participants of all ages. A 4-yearold boy rode his bicycle without training wheels for the first time. Meanwhile, a 69-year-old man rode his bicycle for the first time in nearly 40 years, and he went two miles. He said he had forgotten how fun it could be.

“There was a host of great stories last year,” Lane said. “There were some couples who were seniors that were out there riding on the flat areas, and it was fun to see that.”

The event is starting an hour earlier this year in an effort to avoid higher temperatures.

JOIN THE RIDE The Lawrence Community Bike Ride will be from 8 a.m. to noon July 21 at The Rotary Arboretum, 5100 W. 27th St. It’s a free event and open to the public. There will be a Training Wheel Takeoff activity for children and a Safety Gear Giveaway area where free helmets and bicycle lights will be available along with safety tips. Participants can choose from three rides: • One-mile easy loop, which is available at anytime.

• Three-mile family ride, which starts at 9 a.m.

• 10-mile ride along the South Lawrence Trafficway bicycle path, which starts at 8 a.m.

Participants can pre-register at ridelawrence.com or at the event, and they are asked to bring their own helmets. Free T-shirts will be handed out while supplies last. Refreshments and drinks will be available.

“We have our fingers crossed that it won’t be so hot,” Lane said.

He said the Rotary club wanted to have the event in mid-July because it’s just a couple of weeks after the Tour of Lawrence, w h i c h draws hundreds of bicyclists to the city. The club encourages those watching the professionals to get out and start bicycling themselves.

Lane said the Rotary club, which has about 30 members, also promotes bicycling by running a community-based website called RideLawrence.com, and by adding artistic bicycle racks across the city.

The club hopes avid bicyclists join the community bike ride as well. It promotes the benefits to those who don’t often ride and provides expertise on maintenance and neat places to ride.

Kansas battery case dismissed against dead N.C. soldier

HUTCHINSON (AP) — A soldier who shot and killed a superior officer before killing himself at Fort Bragg, N.C., last month was just one day away from being sentenced in Kansas for punching a woman in the face.

On Friday, a judge in Kansas formally dismissed the aggravated battery charge against Ricky G. Elder. Prosecutors said the 27-year-old Army specialist from Hutchinson was home on leave in April 2010 when he hit the woman so hard that he shattered her eye socket.

Elder died last month.

The Army said he shot and killed Lt. Col. Roy Tisdale of Alvin, Texas, on June 28 before turning the gun on himself. A third soldier, Spc. Michael E. Latham, 22, of Vacaville, Calif., was wounded and has been released from the hospital.

The Hutchinson News reported that Senior Assistant Reno County District Attorney Stephen Maxwell said he notified

the Army when Elder was initially charged with aggravated battery. Maxwell, himself a lieutenant colonel in the National Guard, said the Army couldn’t discharge Elder early because he had not been convicted in the Reno County case.

“I’m sorry for the family of the soldier who was killed,” Maxwell said. “But there’s nothing we could have done.”

As the case made its way through the courts, Elder’s military service led to numerous delays.

He was deployed to Afghanistan from September 2010 to July 2011. It was the second deployment for Elder, who enlisted in 2004 and spent 13 months in Iraq in 2006 and 2007, according to Army records.

Upon his return from Afghanistan, Elder changed attorneys and his case was delayed several times, court records show.

He ultimately entered a guilty plea on Nov. 28.

Unrelenting Obama jabs at Romney’s business record

By Jim Kuhnhenn

“

If you have things to hide, then maybe CLIFTON, VA. — An un- you’re doing things relenting President Barack Obama jabbed at Mitt wrong.”

Associated Press

Romney’s record with a private equity firm in an ad Saturday that aimed to keep his rival on the defensive just as the Republican challenger’s campaign hoped to take advantage of poor economic data to gain an edge on the incumbent.

Obama met Romney’s plea for an apology for the attacks with a mocking ad that charged that the firm shipped American jobs to China and Mexico, that Romney has personal wealth in investments in Switzerland, Bermuda and the Cayman Islands, and that as Massachusetts governor, he sent state jobs to India.

“Mitt Romney’s not the solution. He’s the problem,” the ads says as Romney is heard singing “America the Beautiful.”

Pressure was building on Romney from within his own party to be more forthcoming with his finances, a day after he declared he would not release past income tax returns beyond his 2010 tax records and, before the November election, his 2011 taxes On the sidelines of the National Governors Association meeting in Williamsburg, Alabama’s Republican governor, Robert Bentley, called on Romney to release all the documents requested of him.

“If you have things to hide, then maybe you’re doing things wrong,” Bentley said. “I think you ought to be willing to release everything to the American people.”

After Democrats seized on his words, Bentley later said he still believes Romney’s taxes should be released and he believes

— Alabama Republican Gov. Robert Bentley, who called on Mitt Romney to release all documents requested of him in transparency, but he’s wasn’t implying that Romney has anything to hide.

A soaked Obama, campaigning in a downpour in closely contested Virginia, hewed to his middle classcentered pitch in remarks in Glen Allen, which lies in the district represented by one of his top Republican nemeses, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor. He attacked Romney and his Republican allies for pursuing what the president branded as outdated and discredited economic policies.

Obama didn’t dwell on Romney’s business record, leaving the sharpest attacks to his campaign and the new television commercial. Still he played up the charge that Romney and the private equity firm he founded in 1984, Bain Capital, sent jobs overseas.

“He invested in companies that have been called pioneers of outsourcing,” the president said, his shirt drenched and water streaming down his face.

“I don’t want pioneers in outsourcing, I want some insourcing. I want to bring companies back.”

Later Saturday, in Clifton, Va., Obama again tried to tie Romney to the loss of American jobs, contrasting himself with his rival.

Romney’s spokeswoman, Andrea Saul, fired back Saturday, accusing the president of being less than truthful about Romney’s record.

Clinton to Egypt’s Morsi: Find way out of crisis

By Bradley Klapper Associated Press

CAIRO — U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton used her first meeting with Egypt’s new Islamist president to press Mohammed Morsi to start a dialogue with military leaders as a way of preserving the country’s transition to democracy.

Clinton voiced supMorsi port for the “full transition” to civilian rule at a time when Morsi’s backers are in a political standoff with the generals who have ruled since President Hosni Mubarak was ousted last year.

Resolving the impasse “requires dialogue and compromise, real politics,” Clinton said. She said the United States is doing all it can to “support the democratically elected government and to help make it a success in delivering results for the people of Egypt.”

U.S. SECRETARY OF STATE HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON listens to a question during a joint press conference with Egyptian Foreign Minister Mohammed Kamel Amr, right, Saturday at the presidential palace in Cairo.

The meeting at the presidential palace kicked off a series of high-level sessions aimed at stabilizing Egypt’s fledgling democracy and its alliance with the United States, once rock-solid but now increasingly shaky.

“Things change (at) kind of warp speed,” Clinton told Morsi as they began their meeting.

Clinton and Morsi didn’t

shake hands, at least when they first appeared before reporters — a subject of much speculation because of Morsi’s Muslim faith. But the president shook hands with Clinton and the entire U.S. delegation behind closed doors, according to a U.S. official.

The president, speaking in English, said, “We are very, very keen to meet you and happy that you are here.” Clinton and Morsi were seated perpendicular to one another, the American on a sofa and the Egyptian on a chair.

Morsi is in a showdown with the generals since at least ceremonially gaining power on June 30.

Right before his inauguration, the generals retained stripped him of many powers and kept them for themselves.

That move followed a decision last month by Egypt’s Supreme Constitutional Court to dissolve the Islamist-dominated parliament, the first democratically elected, after ruling that a third of its members were elected il-

legally. Morsi has issued a decree to bring the lawmakers, many of whom are his allies in the Muslim Brotherhood, back into session.

The U.S. has been careful not to take sides, focusing on principles instead of personalities and parties. The Obama administration has called on all sides to negotiate a path forward that remains faithful to the ideals of Egypt’s 2011 revolution.

Appearing at a news conference alongside Foreign Minister Mohamed Amr, Clinton said it was up to Egyptians to determine their future. But she stressed American financial and political support for Egypt’s new government. She was careful, however, to also praise Egypt’s military council for its interim leadership.

The message speaks to Washington’s broader effort to build a new relationship with Egypt after three decades of close cooperation with Mubarak despite his criticized record on democracy and human rights.

REPORT

Paterno contract deal reached amid scandal STATE COLLEGE, PA. (AP) — Veteran Penn State football coach Joe Paterno began talks that resulted in a sweetened retirement contract in the same month that he testified before a grand jury in the Jerry Sandusky sex-abuse case, and all members of the board of trustees weren’t informed of the new package before the scandal engulfed the university, according to a published report.

Paterno and the university reached agreement on the amended contract that eventually totaled $5.5 million in August, months before charges were filed against Sandusky, but they

began negotiating in January, The New York Times reported Saturday.

The amended contract, which was reported on by The Associated Press in April, included a $3 million career bonus if Paterno retired at the end of the 2011 season, as well as forgiveness of $250,000 in outstanding indebtedness and an additional $100,000 in loans.

The package also included access to a stadium box for his family for 25 years as well as parking privileges and access to on-campus hydrotherapy equipment for his wife.

The newspaper cited

university records in saying Paterno first broached the idea of revisiting his contact in January, the same month he made a brief appearance before the grand jury, and some top university officials had also testified before the panel before the agreement was reached in August.

But the paper, citing “people with knowledge of the events,” said details of the agreement were known to a handful of board members but not shared with the full board, which only learned about the lucrative contract when Sandusky was arrested in November and

two university officials were charged.

Paterno then publicly announced he would retire at the end of the season in a statement that also told school trustees to focus their attention on other matters.

Trustees, who agreed Paterno had not done enough to stop the abuse, fired him later that same day, a decision that was followed by rioting in State College. Paterno died of lung cancer in January at age 85. Sandusky is awaiting sentencing after being convicted of 45 counts of having molesting 10 boys over a 15-year period.

Israel should be wary of group’s report

EDITORIALS

Ugly truth A scathing report on Penn State’s decision to cover up reports of child sexual abuse should be a cautionary tale for other universities and athletic department officials.

A

report issued last week concluded that some of Pennsylvania State University’s “most powerful leaders” failed to properly respond to reports of child sexual abuse by a member of the football coaching staff “in order to avoid the consequences of bad publicity.”

It turned out not to be a winning strategy.

The recent conviction of former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky on 45 criminal counts of child sexual abuse has severely damaged Penn State’s image and the legacy of several top officials, including the late Penn State football coach Joe Paterno. The cost to the university’s reputation, however, pales in comparison to the price paid by Sandusky’s victims. If university officials had responded properly to the first reports of improper behavior by the coach in 1998, they could have saved who knows how many boys from Sandusky’s abuse. Eight victims came forward to testify at the coach’s trial, but how many others were involved?

Former FBI director and federal judge Louis Freeh was hired by Penn State trustees after Sandusky was arrested to investigate the university’s handling of the scandal. In his report, Freeh concluded that senior Penn State leaders showed a “total disregard” for the safety and welfare of the children victimized by Sandusky.

The report singled out Coach Joe Paterno, former president Graham Spanier, athletic director Tim Curley and former senior vice president Gary Schultz, who, it said, “repeatedly concealed critical facts relating to Sandusky’s child abuse.”

It also focused on the revered Penn State football program and long-time coach Paterno for allowing Sandusky to retire in 1999 as “a valuable member of the Penn State football legacy,” providing him with the honored status that allowed him to continue to manipulate and victimize children.

It’s hard, even in hindsight, to imagine what was going through the minds of Penn State leaders who chose to sweep this scandal under the rug. It’s hard to fathom their lack of concern for both past and future victims of Sandusky’s abuse.

How could they justify not reporting him to the police? Was the university’s football program such a sacred cash cow for the university that it became more important than the boys being abused by Sandusky? If officials had fired Sandusky and filed a police report in 1998 or 1999, the abuse might have ended and university leaders would have gained credibility for dealing with the situation. It would have been a dark chapter in Penn State’s history but nothing like the fallout the university is suffering now that the ignorant and callous behavior of some of its top officials has been documented.

The only positive aspect of the Penn State case is that it may serve as a cautionary tale to other universities and athletic programs that may be tempted to hide something that might reflect poorly on their reputations. It acts as a reminder that hiding the truth only makes it more ugly in the end.

This week a committee formed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made recommendations that could have dire consequences for Israel. They could also end the Mideast peace process once and for all.

The so-called Levy committee put forth a justification for annexation of most of the West Bank and for permanent Israeli rule over millions of Palestinians who live there. Such a move would force Israel to choose between granting these Palestinians full Israeli citizenship or keeping them disenfranchised and confined to territorial cantons.

If Israel’s government implements the Levy report, wrote Israeli international law professor David Kretzmer in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, it “will have to acknowledge that apartheid is living and kicking” in Greater Israel, or else “it will have to extend political rights to all Palestinian residents of the West Bank.”

The Levy committee, chaired by former Israeli Supreme Court Justice Edmond Levy, was set up by Netanyahu to try to find a way to “legalize” Jewish settlements established on the West Bank without formal government approval. Israeli courts have demanded that some of these outposts be dismantled, including many erected on private Palestinian land. Successive Israeli governments have pledged that they would do so. But nearly all the illegal outposts remain.

Senior Israeli government officials have tacitly aided the settlers in their illegal building efforts, and Netanyahu was eager to find a

If pre-1967 Israel becomes permanently entwined with the West Bank, it will have to choose whether to give the Palestinians full citizenship and lose the Jewish majority within Greater Israel, or deny them rights and keep them confined to cantons.” justification to avoid demolishing the outposts. So he stacked the Levy panel with staunch right-wingers who were strong supporters of the settlers.

The result: The Levy report rejects the very idea that Israel is “occupying” the West Bank.

It proposes that Jews be permitted to settle almost anywhere in the West Bank, with minimal restrictions. And it insists that all Jewish settlements are legal, even those ruled illegal by four decades of Israeli Supreme Court rulings. “The Levy commission condones lawbreaking,” says Princeton professor Daniel Kurtzer, a former U.S. ambassador to Israel.

The settlers don’t care.

But they, and the Netanyahu government, should be wary of getting what they wish for: If the Levy report’s recommendations are adopted, the

consequences could lead to the end of the Jewish state.

Why? Two reasons.

First, Israel can’t afford to formally declare an end to occupation. True, Jerusalem has long rejected, in principle, the notion that it is occupying the West Bank, based on the claim that the territory’s sovereignty was unclear when Israel captured it from Jordan in 1967.

This, say the Israelis, exempts them from the Geneva Convention’s obligations to the occupied population. (The Israeli claim is rejected by most other countries around the globe.)

Yet, since 1967, Israel has based its control of the West Bank on the Hague Convention, which gives the military of an occupying power the right to control a territory conquered during wartime — and to seize land for security use until the territory’s status is resolved. Israel can’t have it both ways: If it is not an occupier, then its military must withdraw and hand back all the West Bank land it has seized since 1967, including land that was passed on to settlements.

Netanyahu and his attorney general may choose to ignore that part of the Levy report. So let’s suppose Israel continues its de facto acknowledgment that it is indeed an occupying power.

This brings us to the second danger posed by the Levy proposals: If Israeli settlement activity expands even more, in areas that have been prohibited until now, this will make it physically impossible to disentangle the West Bank from Israel proper. Already, according to an Israeli Interior Ministry census published at the start

of the year, there are an estimated 722,000 Jews living in the West Bank and in Arab areas of Jerusalem occupied

by Israel after the 1967 war.

Jewish settlements, along with special settler roads, separate the Palestinian areas of the West Bank into disconnected cantons.

If pre-1967 Israel becomes permanently entwined with the West Bank, it will have to choose whether to give the Palestinians full citizenship and lose the Jewish majority within Greater Israel, or deny them rights and keep them confined to cantons.

Down that road lies an apartheid state.

Indeed, the real intent of the Levy report may be to pave the way for annexation of much of the West Bank.

According to Ori Nir, spokesman for Americans for Peace Now, which monitors settlement expansion in the West Bank: “The big thing on the Israeli right, which is gaining momentum, is to annex all of Area C (the 60 percent of the West Bank under full Israeli civil and military control).

That is the trend. The fact that the Levy committee walked toward that is important.”

Given these troubled Mideast times, few would expect that Israel would accept the risk of a new Palestinian state in the short term. But unless the Jewish state keeps that prospect open — blocking new settlements and taking down those that are illegal — the two-state option will permanently vanish. Israel will find itself conjoined with West Bank Palestinians in a single, untenable state.

Instead of deafening roars of anger … silence An open letter to African America: In the late ’90s, the Internet belched forth a rumor that the Voting Rights Act was soon to expire and that black folks would lose the vote as a result. Though stupid and untrue, the rumor spread like a dust cloud till it was inescapable. You couldn’t get away from it in a confession booth. You couldn’t get away from it in a phone booth. Everybody was up in arms.

Flash forward to 2012.

Now the threat is real. There is a sustained effort to suppress the black vote as we approach this pivotal election.

And what is our response?

Silence.

“I don’t sense that AfricanAmericans are truly aware of what is in the process of happening or could happen to them,” says Rep. John Lewis, Democrat from Georgia. “People should be angry.

There should be a sense of righteous indignation. African-Americans and people of good will, Latinos and young people, should be saying, ‘How dare you? The gall of you!’?”

Lewis, of course, is the man whose skull was cracked in 1965 on a bridge in Alabama in the fight for black voting rights. Fifteen years ago, he couldn’t walk down a street without being assailed by a false rumor that those

Still, what happened to that child is only REPRESENTATIVE of systemic injustice.

This IS systemic injustice, and we should be just as exercised about it, if not more so.”

rights were imperiled. Now, when the threat is real, he is appalled by the silence he hears.

Here is what is going on in that silence. In Washington, conservative Republicans are seeking to gut the Voting Rights Act. In Florida, they are, in effect, purging Democrats from the voting rolls.

In Kansas, there is a law requiring a voter show proof of

citizenship. And in 30 states, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures, there are Voter ID laws, either passed or under contemplation.

Conservatives argue that such laws are needed to prevent voter fraud. This argument might hold more water if there actually were any significant voter fraud in our elections. There is not.

In a speech last week before the NAACP, Attorney General Eric Holder likened Voter ID laws to the poll taxes of yesteryear. He is right.

Like the poll taxes, like the grandfather clauses, and literacy texts of decades past, Voter ID laws are officially race-neutral. And like those discarded laws, these new ones have the intention and effect of preventing AfricanAmericans from voting. Poor people, you see, are less likely to have photo IDs — and black people are disproportionately poor.

Keep in mind that blacks are already disenfranchised by laws denying the ballot to former felons. Given the phenomenon of mass incarceration — i.e., a criminal injustice system that will bypass 10 white cocaine dealers to jail one black guy dealing crack — disenfranchising former felons largely means disenfranchising us.

Voter ID laws add fresh

insult to standing injury. And let no one be fooled by GOP claims that this is not political. Mike Turzai, who sits in the Pennsylvania State Legislature, inadvertently set fire to that lie last month.

In a speech to a Republican State Committee meeting, he praised, “Voter ID, which is gonna allow Governor Romney to win the state of Pennsylvania …”

So where are we in all this?

Silent, that’s where.

It is easy to rally in the face of a tragedy like Trayvon Martin. That was a visceral, emotional thing. Still, what happened to that child is only REPRESENTATIVE of systemic injustice. This IS systemic injustice, and we should be just as exercised about it, if not more so.

And yet .?.?.

Silence.

From the barber shops, silence.

From the beauty parlors, silence.

From the pulpits, silence.

In the face of a naked attempt to steal not just an election, but a right that was purchased for us at a cost of bones and blood, silence. It’s happening now, right under our noses.

“And we’re too quiet,” says Lewis. “We’re just too quiet.”

BASEBALL

On to bigger things

Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Thrills absent in July sports With the NBA Draft, NBA Finals, and, really, this year’s entire thrilling NBA postseason now over, it’s time to roll into the leanest and meanest days of the summer months.

Football has not arrived yet and baseball is not quite deep enough into its season to be interesting to the casual fan. Sure, the annual All-Star Game provides a nice mid-summer highlight, especially this year, when the festivities came to Kansas City, Mo. But, other than that, the month of July is one of the toughest turns of the calendar for sports fans.

This latest realization about what’s coming up — or what isn’t — got me thinking about how sports are such a cyclical force that keeps fans entertained one minute and looking ahead the next. When March Madness is over, we long for Opening Day. When the clock reads 00:00 at the Super Bowl, we start gearing up for Big Monday and the thick of the college basketball season. It’s a never-ending cycle, and it’s fascinating enough to offer up a variety of great moments throughout the year. Where those moments pop up and when one’s favorites take place is different for everyone and, of course, depends on taste.

With that in mind, here’s how I rank the 12 months of the year based on the sports thrills they provide.

1. January: As againstthe-grain as this may be, January is at the top of my list because of its variety.

The NFL playoffs and Super Bowl, along with the NCAA national championship game, make football wildly entertaining. When those games aren’t going, there’s usually some pretty good conference play on the college hoops circuit to keep you happy.

2. March: This is the most obvious choice, and, I’m guessing, the favorite month of most who read this newspaper. I’m right there with you. Nothing in sports is cooler than March Madness, the kind of postseason format that grabs both fanatics and non-fans alike. I bet you’re thinking about your bracket already.

3. November: November gets the edge at No. 3 because not only are we in the heart of football season, but we’re also tipping off the college basketball season.

Plus, who can resist all of those early college basketball tournaments? Strong month.

4. September: One of the only things better than the end of the pro and college football seasons is the beginning of each. September delivers both, and we football freaks often are treated to some incredible games right out of the gate.

5. October: Baseball is finally meaningful again, and October is when nicknames like Mr. October are born and World Series champions are crowned. Oh yeah, there also are a few meaningful football games sprinkled in, which makes for non-stop action no matter what day of the week you’re talking.

Former Lawrencian Ty Hensley goes pro with Yanks

By Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Sarah Phipps/The Oklahoman

NEWLY SIGNED NEW YORK YANKEES PITCHER TY HENSLEY, seen here in May at Edmond Santa Fe High School in Edmond, Okla., remembers his middle-school years in Lawrence fondly. Hensley — he was slated to play baseball at Free State High — moved to Oklahoma after eighth grade but remained in contact with Firebirds standout Cody Kukuk and other city athletes.

Fresh off a defeat in the Class 6A state tournament, Free State High baseball coach Mike Hill was sitting in his office with a group of good friends when Mike Hensley, father of two promising young athletes then living in Lawrence, said he needed to talk to him.

“Here he is, about 6-foot6, 300 pounds, and he was in tears,” said Hill, recalling a four-year-old memory. “I feared the worst, thought maybe something happened to one of the boys. He paused for what seemed like an eternity.”

Considering where Hill’s mind had gone, the news came as more a relief than a bummer.

“He said, ‘We’re moving,’” Hill said.

After the news sank in, Hill could have been forgiven for shedding tears of his own. The news meant that Ty Hensley, star quarterback, hard-throwing righthander, hard-hitting, switchhitting catcher, would not be enrolling in Free State that fall. The family moved to Edmond, Okla.

Ty Hensley, now 6-5, 220, was selected in the first round of the June draft by the New York Yankees. As the 30th pick, he was slotted for a $1.6 million signing bonus, but the Yankees lowered the offer to $1.2 million after detecting an abnormality in his pitching shoulder.

Escobar homers twice as Royals beat ChiSox

“

He’s making himself look like an AllStar-caliber-type player.

We talked about it a bunch, but we knew he was a real athletic player, and once he grew into his body, he would be a real good big league hitter.”

— Kansas City Royals manager Ned Yost on shortstop Alcides Escobar, who blasted two home runs off of the Chicago White Sox Saturday night

The Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, MO. — Alcides Escobar has been dutifully going to the gym every week, and not just going through the motions. The Royals shortstop has been putting in some work, and truly believes that he’s becoming a stronger all-around player.

He made a believer out of a lot of people Saturday night.

Escobar hit a pair of homers off White Sox All-Star Jake Peavy, the second a goahead shot with two outs in the seventh inning, sending Kansas City to a moraleboosting 6-3 victory.

“I’m working out in the gym and I’m feeling very comfortable,” said Escobar, who came into the game with two homers all season and 11 in his career. “I’m the same guy, though, just trying to hit the ball in the middle.”

He certainly accomplished that — twice.

The 25-year-old Escobar connected on a two-run shot off Peavy (7-6) in the third inning, and after Adam Dunn and Dayan Viciedo helped Chicago knot the game 3-all in the sixth, the wiry young shortstop added a solo shot in the seventh for the first

Cain added insurance runs in the eighth, and Greg Holland (3-2) won in relief. Jonathan Broxton rebounded from a blown save the previous night to retire the White Sox in order for his 22nd save of the season.

Broxton pumped his fist after finishing the game — and all the Royals fans that were in the ballpark Friday night probably did the same.

Broxton gave up a run in the ninth in the series opener to turn a potential Royals victory into a 14-inning, 5 1/2-hour affair.

The White Sox eventually won that game on Kevin Youkilis’ sacrifice fly.

“He’s done really, really well on back-to-back days that he pitches,” Yost said of Broxton, who was among the five AL players in the AllStar final vote. “The thing that really impresses me about Brox is that no matter the trouble he gets in, he never gets flustered.”

The Royals and White Sox are no strangers to close affairs at Kauffman Stadium, having gone to extra innings in seven of their previous 21 meetings.

This one appeared to be headed the same direction most of the night.

Keselowski nets Nationwide victory LOUDON, N.H. (AP) — Brad Keselowski slipped in front when Kevin Harvick got into a traffic jam. Then Harvick got mad.

Keselowski took the checkered flag in Saturday’s Nationwide race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway while Harvick fumed about the inexperienced driver who got in his way even though she had been lapped.

“It’s somebody who shouldn’t be on the racetrack, who has no clue what they’re doing in the race car,� Harvick said, directing his anger at Amber Cope. “She wants to be Danica Patrick, but she can’t hold her helmet.�

Keselowski capitalized when Harvick was forced to slow down with about 21 laps left in the 200-mile race at the one-mile

oval, pulling ahead and winning by about six car lengths. “I caught a little bit of a break in traffic,� Keselowski said, “but that’s the way it goes.�

The pole-sitter had lost the lead to Harvick at about the 150th lap when Patrick’s Chevrolet bumped Jason Bowles’ Toyota, bringing out the yellow flag.

When the race restarted, Har-

vick shot in front. Would Keselowski have won if Harvick and Cope hadn’t slowed down like a pair of rush-hour commuters? “There’s no way of really knowing that. The odds were probably not in my favor,� Keselowski said. “You catch good breaks and bad breaks. It was a bad break for us when the yellow came out to begin with.�

COMMENTARY

Penn State deserves sanctions

By Phil Sheridan The Philadelphia Inquirer

You wonder.

Now that you know unimaginable things about Penn State, you begin to wonder about the things you thought you knew.

How does it all fit together?

For years, practically forever, Joe Paterno ran his football program as if it were a secret nuclear weapons program.

Practices were closed to reporters. Access to players was strictly limited. The largest newspapers in Pennsylvania covered games and Paterno conference calls, for the most part. There was too little access to warrant having reporters full-time in State College.

Your first thought is that Jerry Sandusky was able to operate so openly at least partly because of that veil of secrecy.

But then you wonder.

Was it the other way around?

Was Paterno so secretive and frequently surly with the media because there were such dark secrets?

There was a similar situation with baseball players of the late 1980s and 1990s. Many of them were downright hostile toward the media who covered their game. When it became clear that many of them were pumped full of steroids, it all began to make more sense. The steroids themselves can make people meaner and more aggressive.

But the main thing was that those players had something to hide. They treated reporters like enemies because we were.

All it took was for one reporter to notice androstenedione in Mark McGwire’s locker. It’s no wonder McGwire, Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens were among the least pleasant people to approach in all of sports.

During his news conference Thursday morning in Philadelphia, former FBI Director Louis Freeh said his team discovered no evidence that Sandusky’s 1999 retirement was connected to the 1998 police investigation of an accusation he molested a boy.

That doesn’t mean there wasn’t a connection, only that Freeh’s investigation didn’t unearth hard evidence. A close reading of his report certainly creates the impression that a link was not only possible, but likely.

Now that Freeh’s report has landed, there are calls for Penn State to abolish its football program entirely, or for the NCAA to step in and do it.

My first reaction was that this qualified as overkill. Paterno was fired and has since died.

Curley and vice-president Gary Schultz face criminal charges.

But the unsavory implications of the university’s deals with Sandusky make serious NCAA sanctions seem more appropriate. At the very least, the NCAA should further investigate whether Penn State effectively rewarded Sandusky for stepping away from the football program and maintaining his own silence.

If the NCAA sanctions athletic programs because players get free tattoos or cash, then it must act in the case of a university financing a pedophile in order to maintain the pristine image of its football program.

That really is the picture the dots form, even if Freeh wasn’t completely able to connect them.

BERNHARD LANGER HITS AN APPROACH SHOT ON THE EIGHTH HOLE during the third round of the U.S. Senior Open. Langer shot a 64 on Saturday in Lake Orion, Mich.

Langer fires 64, leads U.S. Senior Open by 4 LAKE ORION, MICH. — Fred Couples joked that someone will have to close with a 60 to catch Bernhard Langer at the U.S. Senior Open.

That might not be low enough.

Langer shot a 6-under 64 on Saturday to move to 10 under for the tournament, putting him ahead of a big-name field by four strokes. “That’s not a huge lead,� he insisted. “That can disappear in no time. I’m going to have to get out there and shoot under par. That’s my goal. “If I go 2 under or 3 under, it will be very difficult for anyone to catch me. And if they do, they deserve to win.�

The two-time Masters champion opened with three straight birdies and eight in 12 holes at Indianwood, a course with tight and unforgiving fairways and undulating greens. “He didn’t win two Masters by luck,� said Corey Pavin, who was in a five-way tie for second place. “He’s an exceptionally good player, very methodical.�

Langer didn’t miss a green in regulation during the third round until the par-3 No. 13, where a double bogey cut his cushion to three shots. He bounced back with a birdie at 15 before giving that stroke back with a bogey at 18.

Pavin, Tom Lehman, Roger Chapman, John Huston and Tom Pernice Jr. were at 6-under 204.

Couples surged up the leaderboard with a 65 after starting the day tied for 25th place. He was part of a pack — along with Fred Funk and Jay Haas — that was five shots back in a tie for seventh at the Champion Tour’s fourth of five majors.

While Langer was in his sensational stretch Saturday, first-round leader Tom Kite and second-round leader Lance Ten Broeck were struggling in the final group.

Kite finished with a 74 to drop into a tie for 17th, nine shots back. Since opening with a U.S. Senior Open nine-hole record 28, Kite is 6 over.

Ten Broeck, a full-time caddie for Tim Herron and occasional player, shot a 72 with three birdies and five bogeys. He is alone in 11th place, six shots back, after starting the round with a one-shot lead over Kite and a two-stroke edge on a group that included Langer.

Matteson leads at John Deere SILVIS, ILL. — Troy Matteson shot a 5-under 66 Saturday to take a three-shot lead into the final round at the John Deere Classic.

Steve Stricker, who also shot a 66, sits in second place at 15 under in his quest for a fourth straight tournament title. Stricker birdied four straight holes beginning at the 14th, but bogeyed the par-4 18th, stubbing a chip shot and missing a 15-footer for par.

Mickelson three back in Scotland INVERNESS, SCOTLAND — Francesco Molinari held off a barrage of challengers at the Scottish Open, shooting a 5-under 67 to take a one-stroke lead into the final round.

The Italian, who held the overnight lead with Alexander Noren, remained consistent in changing weather around the Castle Stuart links to stay in front at 17 under.

After a third straight low-scoring day, Anders Hansen is Molinari’s closest challenger after a 65. Hansen upstaged his top-ranked playing partner Luke Donald (68), while Phil Mickelson also carded a 65 and was three shots back in a tie with three others.

Noren was among that quartet at 14 under.

The Swede, who finished with a 70, kept pace with Molinari until a triple-bogey 8 on No. 12.

PRO BASKETBALL

Hornets match Gordon offer NEW ORLEANS — The Hornets say they’ve matched the Phoenix Suns’ four-year, $58 million offer to Eric Gordon, keeping the restricted free agent guard in New Orleans.

The Hornets hope the 23-year-old Gordon can be the centerpiece of a rebuilding effort that includes first-overall draft choice Anthony Davis and 10th overall pick Austin Rivers.

Gordon was limited to nine games last season because of a bruised right knee that required minor surgery. However, he averaged a team-high 20.6 points, and New Orleans was 6-3 when he played.

Celtics re-sign Garnett BOSTON — The Boston Celtics have made it official more than a week after Kevin Garnett reportedly agreed to a three-year contract.

Their emotional leader has re-signed.

The Celtics also announced Saturday that forward Brandon Bass and center-forward Chris Wilcox have signed to remain with the team that made it to the Eastern Conference finals — where it lost in seven games to eventual NBA champion Miami.

Garnett had an outstanding season, especially down the stretch and in the playoffs. He averaged 15.8 points, 8.2 rebounds and 2.9 assists in his fifth season with Boston.

Peters gave his lead up to Hornaday on a restart with just over 30 laps left.

Hornaday was second, followed by Matt Crafton, Johnny Sauter and Justin Lofton.

Sporting K.C. seizes first place with 2-0 win

Hensley his move to Edmond, where high schools play longer baseball seasons. As a senior for Santa Fe High, he went 10-0 with a 1.52 ERA and had 111 strikeouts in 55 1/3 innings. Whatever the abnormality, it didn’t keep Hensley’s fastball from getting clocked at 97 mph and didn’t soften the bite of a curveball many scouts considered as good as any high school pitcher in the nation.

As an eighth grader bound for Free State High, Hensley was one year behind good friend Cody Kukuk, a seventh-round draft choice of the Boston Red Sox in 2011, and Colin Toalson, a two-time All-Sunflower League selection who pitched and played short in high school and now pitches for Kansas University. Hensley was two years behind Wichita State left-hander Albert Minnis, who lived in the Free State district until he and his father moved into the house of friends who lived south of Bob Billings, the dividing line.

Minnis led Lawrence High to the state baseball title.

Surely, Hill’s mind must wander to a high school version of the ’27 Yankees that he could have coached had things fallen into place differently.

“You know, honestly, not a lot,” Hill said. “People bring it up from time to time, and you can’t help but spend a tad bit of time thinking about it. But the reality is you think about who’s in the building, not who left. But it would have been pretty special.”

Hensley didn’t get a chance to team in high school with Kukuk, as they both hoped, but if all goes well for both of them, they could face each other on a bigger stage.

“It’s kind of weird that he got drafted by the Red Sox and I got drafted by the Yankees,” Hensley said by phone from Edmond. “I went to a Yankees-Red Sox game for my 12th birthday. It was at Fenway Park and fights were breaking out everywhere. It was nuts.”

Hensley and Kukuk teamed on the Texas Sun Devils last summer before Kukuk signed with the Red Sox. “He looked good,” Hensley said. “He’s changed a whole lot, in a good way, from when we were kids.

He throws absolute gas from the left side and his offspeed pitches were developed a lot more.”

Hensley has shed the baby fat he carried during his days as a participant in football, basketball and baseball, although accord-

COLUMBUS, OHIO (AP) — Jacob Peterson and Teal Bunbury scored, and Sporting Kansas City beat the Columbus Crew 2-0 on Saturday to grab sole possession of first place in the Eastern Conference.

Kansas City (11-5-3) took the lead in the sixth minute when Peterson Joseph split the defense with a pass to Peterson, who beat goalkeeper Andy Gruene-

baum for the 1-0 lead. Bunbury got the second goal in the 82nd minute off a counterattack.

“We were talking right before the game about making that run and how maybe we could have some success,” Peterson said. “It was a great ball.

All I had to do was slip it in. It was all predicated on (Joseph). I had the easy part.”

Kansas City’s defense handled the struggling Crew (6-7-4), who have dropped three of four.

Jimmy Nielsen made four saves for his eighth shutout of the season. He got help in the 48th minute when Justin Meram’s header went off the crossbar.

“We had momentum.

We had chances,” Crew coach Robert Warzycha said. “You have to score.”

Hensley was recruited

by Kansas University in both football, as a quarterback, and baseball, but he signed a scholarship to play baseball at Ole Miss, an opportunity he bypassed to play for the Yankees.

Ty Hensley’s father, Mike, pitched in the minor leagues in the St. Louis Cardinals organization, his career ended by an arm injury. To the benefit of Ty’s career, Mike became a pitching coach, working for Oral Roberts and Kansas State.

From Day One, Ty not only had strong genes, he had good mechanics, taught to him by his father, but Ty wanted more attention from his father than a coaching career allowed. When Kansas State changed baseball coaches after the 2003 season and Mike lost his job, Ty asked him to be his fulltime coach, wanting him to get into a profession that had more flexibility. His father obliged, going into pharmaceutical sales.

“That was a blessing in disguise,” Ty said of his father losing his job at Kansas State. “Everything has a positive side. It was good for me and it was good for our family.”

and reunited with friends from early years in Tulsa.

“Tyler Self and I have known each other since we were 2 years old, when both of our dads coached at Oral Roberts,” Hensley said. “When we moved to Lawrence, our families became good friends again.

Jake Johnson (former Lawrence High basketball player and pitcher) is one of my best friends in the whole world. Tyler, Jake and Cody were my closest friends in Lawrence.”

Hensley said it hurt to leave his friends behind, but his father’s plan to move the family to a state that played far more baseball games than Kansas allows worked out well, as evidenced by his selection in the first round by the winningest organization in baseball.

“I was excited I was going to get to play with Cody, and at the time of the move I was kind of bummed out,” he said. “As time went on, I started realizing things worked out best for me, and I’m happy with it.”

Lawrence lost more than one great athlete when the Hensleys moved to Edmond. Ty’s brother, J.R., is 6-5, is creeping up on 250 pounds and is a hard-throwing left-hander who also plays left tackle.

“I don’t mess with him anymore,” Ty said.

“He outweighs me by 30 pounds and I think he’s going to be a stud pitcher.”

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

Evaluating KU’s recruiting class of 2013 the top 10. You get the top 10, then you’ve got 25-35 players that are really good. It’s more depth versus high-end talent.

That’s why I was saying there are going to be a lot of good not-five-star players. There’s going to be a lot of really good notranked players, just because there’s really good depth in this class. Obviously, there’s a couple potential stars up at the top, but outside of that — from 25 to 150 — it doesn’t lose much integrity in terms of ability.

By Jesse Newell jnewell@ljworld.com

Rivals.com released its updated 2013 basketball recruiting rankings earlier this month, and Kansas commit Conner Frankamp moved up from No. 42 to 28 while fellow KU commit Brannen Greene remained at No. 31.

Rivals.com national recruiting analyst Eric Bossi, who has been on the road more than 50 days since mid-March evaluating high-school players, took some time to talk about the new rankings and also the potential for KU coach Bill Self to have a strong recruiting class in 2013.

Q: made jump What that?

Q: KU has Frankamp and Greene committed already, and the Jayhawks are also in the running for a few other guys. Does this have the potential to be a pretty big class for KU coach Bill Self coming up?

Conner Frankamp a pretty significant in your rankings. was the reason for

A: I think he’s already been kind of on the climb.

Obviously, he had a ridiculous junior season at Wichita North. I thought that once he got out there and showed everyone that he could do it ... I tend to be more cautious at moving guys up. Sometimes the local kids are the hardest to evaluate because you’ve seen them so many times. I just think his overall body of work — high school, AAU, international, whatever — he’s done very well wherever he’s been. Clearly, he needs to start being thought about as one of the top players in the country.

something obviously age and college are going to play a big factor in. So I’m not too entirely worried about that. But the class of 2013 nationally is a really good class. There’s a lot of really good players that won’t be five stars or won’t even make the Rivals150 that are going to help out good college basketball programs.

That’s that. I think he doesn’t fit

the mold of what a lot of people are looking for in a point guard right now, and that’s just in terms of style of game and size.

Not me in particular, but with some people, he has to continue to win people over that he can score and make plays, and that that translates to the next level.

Q: I’ve heard all sorts of comparisons with him.

I just wondered if there’s anybody you see similarities to when you see Frankamp play?

A: I generally am not good with comparisons — one that just jumps out at me. I just don’t spend too much time trying to think of comparisons. It doesn’t really matter to me. There’s no one that really sticks out at me, at least that we’ve seen locally at either one of the schools. I would say he’s more like Jacob Pullen than he is Russell Robinson, though, if that makes any sense. I’m sure some people have compared him to Pullen. He’s a highscoring combo guard in college who will, because of the way Kansas plays, play a 1 or a 2. But there’s none that jumps out at me.

It’s too easy to make a Jeff Boschee comparison.

Q: With Brannen Greene, he stayed the same in the Rivals rankings. What do you see from him?

A: Brannen is a really good player. He’s not a Brandon Rush/Ben McLemore-type wing athlete, but he can really shoot the ball. He’s strong.

He’s smart. And he’s just got a feel for scoring a bucket. There are some guys who just naturally have a feel for being in the right place at the right time, moving without the ball, all that stuff. Brannen understands all that stuff.

So I think while there may be some guys that athletically have some things he (doesn’t), the reason he ranks so high is because of his skill level.

you can defend — which, Brannen is a solid defender, because he uses his physicality — then you’re going to play. He’s also a guy, when they go to some of that weave stuff, can take it, turn a corner and take two dribbles into a mid-range and make something happen.

Q: Is there anything with Brannen’s game that he can still improve on?

A: Lateral quickness, because in college, the fact is, he’s going to be matched up with a lot of smaller players. There’s a lot of teams that play 6-2, 6-3, 6-4 in the backcourt now. A 6-6, 200-pound guy obviously is not always going to be as quick as those guys. But just quickness and continQ: I read that you said ued development off the he would fit well as a 3 at dribble.

A: Yeah, obviously.

You look at probably the two biggest names left on our board are Anthony Barber, who’s No. 9 in the country, and Julius Randle, No. 2 in the country. They’re doing pretty well with each of those guys. Do they get them?

Who knows yet. But they have legitimate chances at both of those guys.

They’re definitely in the mix for both of those guys. If you add those guys to what you already have — or if you even add one of them to what you already have and whatever else — you’ve got a pretty strong class right there.

Q: Can you tell me a little about Randle and his game? I know that you’ve said he’s been a top target for KU. A: He’s going to play the power forward in college. I don’t think there’s any doubt about that. But while he’s a power forward, he’s kind of in that Terrence Jones mode in that he can go out, he can handle the ball a little bit, he makes just enough jump shots while not being a great shooter, but it keeps you honest. But he’s a unique mismatch, except that he’s a lot better than Terrence Jones was at this age. Maybe he’s not quite yet as explosive as Terrence Jones has been in traffic the last couple years, but … he’s a dynamic, off-the-dribble power forward.

Blue bloods set to battle for prep phenom Jabari Parker

By Andrew Carter

“

I think that he has the proper wiring to be a really, really good It began Wednesday with a tease. Jabari Parker, basketball player long considered the best high term.”

The News & Observer (Raleigh, N.C.)

Charles Rex Arbogast/AP File Photo

IN THIS MARCH 13 FILE PHOTO, SIMEON CAREER ACADEMY’S FORWARD JABARI PARKER DUNKS during an Illinois state super sectional playoff game in Chicago. On Wednesday, Parker tweeted the 10 schools he is considering with a year left in high school. They are: Kentucky, Stanford, Michigan State, Kansas, Florida, Duke, BYU, Georgetown, DePaul and North Carolina.

school basketball player in the class of 2013, signed onto his Twitter account.

“My college list,” he wrote, “coming out at 4:15.

Tune in!!! Lol!!”

L.O.L. Laugh out loud.

Few of his 20,000 Twitter followers likely were, especially those wondering whether their favorite college team had made Parker’s cut. Finally Parker, a 6-8 small forward, revealed his list: Kentucky, Stanford, Michigan State, Kansas, Florida, Duke, BYU, Georgetown, DePaul and North Carolina. He wrote the schools in that order.

And then wrote, “No order.”

So now it begins, a recruiting battle that’s likely to be the most intense and scrutinized among any in during the next several months. Duke and North Carolina, longtime rivals on the court, are again fighting for the same player off it.

They have plenty of company, with eight other schools vying for a rising high school senior who appeared in May on the cover of Sports Illustrated. On the magazine cover Parker is wearing a yellow Simeon Career Academy

— ESPN national recruiting analyst Dave Telep jersey, and he’s dribbling on a ledge overlooking a body of water, the Chicago skyline in the background.

The text next to him and across him reads, “The best high school basketball player since LeBron James is … Jabari Parker.”

The recruiting experts seem to agree.

Yet there’s something different about Parker, too, said Dave Telep, the national recruiting analyst for ESPN. “For a guy that’s had so much thrown his way, there is an incredible sense of humility to him,” Telep said. “Underneath that layer is a very competitive kid … I think that he has the proper wiring to be a really, really good basketball player long term.”

Telep said he and other journalists who regularly cover recruiting found it somewhat amusing when Parker revealed his initial list of finalists Wednesday.

It’s not often, after all, that a prospect trims a list and still leaves 10 contenders.

Based on recent history, at least, both Duke and UNC are likely to stay alive for a while.

“I can’t tell you if they’re (both) going to make the final three, but they’re firmly in the mix,” Telep said. “They’re not going anywhere. They’re going to have their crack at them.”

Years ago, before recruiting coverage and popularity boomed, before the Internet helped make it a year-round passion for some, the Tar Heels and Blue Devils rarely seemed to contend for the same players. More and more, though, they are crossing the same paths on the recruiting trail.

They split a pair of prospects in the latest signing class, with Rasheed Sulaimon turning down an offer from UNC to go to Duke, and J.P. Tokoto turning down Duke to go to UNC. It’s rarer, though, that UNC and Duke have both targeted a player considered the best in his class. That last happened in 2009, when both schools attempted to lure Harrison Barnes from Iowa to North Carolina.

He chose, of course, to play for the Tar Heels.

At an April booster club tour stop in Charlotte, UNC coach Roy Williams bristled when a fan asked if he was afraid to recruit head-to-head against

Duke, and Blue Devils coach Mike Krzyzewski.

Williams briefly recounted Barnes’ recruitment as evidence that he wasn’t. In fact, Williams sounded as though he liked it.

“I went to freakin’ Ames, Iowa (to recruit Barnes) 11 times and his (butt) went twice,” Williams said. “…

Don’t tell me I ain’t going to go head-to-head.”

Many recruiting analysts, Telep included, believe Parker likely will play just one season.

But, Telep said, Parker doesn’t fit the mold of other players with similar ability and following.

“I think Jabari is probably a one-and-done type,” Telep said. “But I think the reason why he has such broad appeal is because there is a substantial history of winning in his background, and I think he’s clearly embodied what it’s like to be part of a team. And I think that separates him from the one-and-done guys.”

After Parker posted his list on Twitter, he received a few responses, including one from an apparent BYU fan that read, “So you’re tellin’ me there’s a chance!”

For Duke, UNC and the other eight schools Parker listed as finalists, there is a chance – until the next round of cuts come in a long journey that began Wednesday.

U.S. practice has Midnight Madness feel

By Brian Mahoney Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Dancers were performing during breaks in the action.

Dunks were greeted with “MVP!” chants.

Mascots, merchandise giveaways, and hot dog stands had the feel of an NBA arena, not the U.S. Olympic men’s team’s workout.

Of course this was no game. As Allen Iverson would say: We talkin’ about practice.

The U.S. Olympic basketball team went through a most unusual workout Saturday, an open practice for military personnel and families at the D.C. Armory that felt more like Midnight Madness on a college campus than a team getting ready to defend a gold medal.

“We understand it’s kind of — actually every day with USA Basketball is a little bit different,” coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “Not bad, but certainly different. But today was different in a very spectacular way. All of our guys were proud to be here.”

The best dunks were not by LeBron James or his U.S. teammates, but

by G-Man, the Washington Wizards mascot who struggled a bit early before getting better as his routine went along.

Hey, mascots are allowed to be rusty during the offseason, too.

Of course, they don’t have games that count in two weeks.

And while France, the Americans’ opening op-

“

It was fun, especially getting to play in front of the men and service women that protect our country. So it was fun to be here and play with these guys and put on a little show for the fans.”

— Kevin Love, U.S. Olympic men’s basketball team forward ponent in London, was playing an exhibition game against fellow medal contender and reigning Olympic silver medalist Spain on Saturday, the Americans were taking part in what felt like a pep rally, a workout environment loaded with distractions that called to mind Rocky’s training camp before his first fight against Clubber Lang in “Rocky III.” Yet because of the people watching, and Krzyzewski’s military background, the day was worth it for the Americans.

“Coach K talked about this being such a great day for USA Basketball, but for America, and understood the significance of it,” said ESPN analyst Jay Bilas, who played for Krzyzewski at Duke and served as the emcee of the practice.

“To be able to come here and say thank you for our men and women in uniform, they were here today but they’ve always been there, they’ve always been there for us. I think he understands it on a level that many of us can’t because of the time he spent in and around the military, and how much not only knows it but feels it.”

Krzyzewski played and coached at the U.S.

Military Academy and attained the rank of captain before resigning from the Army in 1974. He has had a career-long dedication to USA Basketball, being involved with 12 teams as a head or assistant coach.

Bilas said when Krzyzewski and Jerry Colangelo began putting together the national team program in 2005, they sought to emulate the military in some ways. Service people were involved throughout the day, from a shooting contest in which a representative from each branch teamed with a U.S. player, to a moving moment at the end of practice in which soldiers gave the American flag patch from their sleeve to a U.S. player to carry to London.

“Just being here in front of these guys, the troops and the military, you can’t put into words how that made us feel,” forward Carmelo Anthony said.

Syracuse didn’t hold Midnight Madness, the popular event in which teams hold a public workout at midnight on the first day practice is allowed, in Anthony’s lone year of college. But he experienced what it felt like Saturday, going through drills before a sometimes loud crowd of thousands of fans.

USA BASKETBALL MEN’S NATIONAL TEAM GUARD KOBE BRYANT (10) holds up three fingers after hitting a three-point shot during a practice Saturday in Washington.

“I never heard nobody cheer in practice before,” Anthony said. “Coach K usually don’t let nobody talk in practice, but I don’t know how he was going to control this crowd today.”

stage, if Allen wasn’t going to step aside, he likely would have been forced out. Instead, the Celtics created the perception that Allen should return out of loyalty.

And that’s the thing.

Allen said the loyalty remains, even as the uniform changes, just as former Celtics such as Glen Davis, Kendrick Perkins and James Posey have shown their Green envy.

“Forever, I’ll always be a Celtic, no matter what,” he said upon his AmericanAirlines Arena introduction. “I’ve seen Big Baby down here during the playoffs watching and I looked at him as a brother.

We played against Perk during the year, it doesn’t change. Posey came in the locker room once we lost Game 7 here and he’s forever a Celtic. Eddie House played (in Miami) and he came in the locker room every time he got the opportunity. In my mind, it never changes. I don’t care what people say about me, I’ll always stay true to the city of Boston and the fans there.”

The crowd included

Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, who dined with the Americans on Friday night, Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, who played at Harvard, and former Georgetown stars and gold medalists Patrick Ewing and Alonzo Mourning. They sat with their college coach, John Thompson, who understood why the Americans’ motivation Saturday.

“That’s what you do when you have a group of guys like this,” he said.

“You don’t have to sit down with a lot of serious stuff.”

Despite all the noise, Krzyzewski and his players felt they got work done.

They scrimmaged more than he thought they would, time even put back on the clock to play longer at one point at the request of Kevin Durant, playing in front of his hometown fans. The Americans haven’t been able to play much full court against each other while frequently short-handed during their training in Las Vegas.

They will have a normal workout today before playing an exhibition Monday against Brazil, and believe Saturday got them more prepared for it, despite the unusual circumstances.

“It was fun, especially getting to play in front of the men and service women that protect our country,” forward Kevin Love said. “So it was fun to be here and play with these guys and put on a little show for the fans.”

BRITISH OPEN

.

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

Parity showing itself at majors

By Doug Ferguson Associated Press Golf Writer

Golf rarely has been this mysterious when it comes to the majors.

Tiger Woods used to be counted on to win at least one major a year and contend in the others. And while he is back to being the betting favorite, the British Open will be the 17th major since Woods won his last one. Rory McIlroy, the heir apparent, has taken such a peculiar turn in the last two months that it was cause for minor celebration, if not major relief, when he simply made the cut in the Irish Open.

Luke Donald and Lee Westwood, the two players who have been atop the world ranking the most over the last two years, have never won a major.

So when the British Open begins Thursday at Royal Lytham & St. Annes on the Lancashire coast of England, there really is only one logical question.

Who’s next?

These days, the answer is pure guesswork.

Fifteen players from five continents have won the last 15 majors, a stretch of parity not seen since golf was searching for a dominant player in the mid-1980s. Only three of those winners were among the top 10 in the world rankings. Three of them were not in the top 50, and three others were not even in the top 100.

“It just shows how deep the level of competition is right now,” Adam Scott said.

A streak of 18 different winners, two generations ago, started with Tom Watson capturing his fifth British Open in 1983 and ended with Larry Nelson winning his third major at the 1987 PGA Championship. Major champions during the mid-1980s included the likes of Seve Ballesteros, Fuzzy Zoeller, Lee Trevino, Raymond Floyd and Jack Nicklaus.

What sets apart this re“Tiger was winning all cent stretch is that Webb those things, and he was Simpson at the U.S. Open keeping Phil from winning last month became the more,” Mahan said. “Now, ninth straight player to it’s like there are four mawin his first major. jors — four majors that “Pretty amazing,” Hunt- are wide open.

“

The sixth hole has been converted to a par 4, so Lytham will be a par 70 for the first time.

The defending champion is Darren Clarke, another surprise in this list of different major champions, though for other reasons. He was 42, beyond what was considered to be the prime of his career, when he finally got his name on the claret jug on his 20th attempt.

Woods did not play last year at Royal St. George’s, taking most of the summer off to let the injuries to his left leg fully heal. Woods, a three-time Open champion, has not finished in the top 10 at golf’s oldest championship since he won at Royal Liverpool in 2006. Then again, he has missed two of the last five because of injury.

A winner this year at Bay Hill, Muirfield Village and Congressional, the only thing that keeps Woods from restoring some of his mystique is a major. And as the last four

years have shown, those are getting more difficult to win.

“The more different guys that win them, the more guys who think they can win them,” Geoff Ogilvy said.

Simpson said as much when he won at The Olympic Club last month. He watched his Presidents Cup teammate, Bubba Watson, win the Masters. In the previous major, Keegan Bradley rallied and beat Jason Dufner in a playoff at the PGA Championship.

It was Bradley’s first appearance in a major championship.

“If I see Keegan Bradley win a major ... I respect his game a ton, but I feel like, ‘Keegan Bradley won one, I want go to win one,’” Simpson said. “All these guys that won before me, I thought, ‘I played with these guys all my life.’ They’re great players, but I want to do what they’re doing. Everybody is so competitive in this world that we just kind of feed off each other.”

Par 4 Yards 492 This hole features a sharp dogleg left, with deep rough and a bunker at the elbow of the dogleg. Four cross bunkers stretch across the fairway well short of the green, and five bunkers guard the green. The second shot has to carry a sharp left-to-right slope in front of the putting surface.

The shortest hole demands the greatest degree of accuracy. The only gap in the circle of bunkers that surround the green are in the back, and that leads down a slop to+'an %&'() ,out-of-bounds fence. The green slopes from back left to front right.

Par is difficult for anyone missing the green.

A new tee makes this hole 35 yards longer than in 2001, though it still can be reached in two in reasonable conditions. The fairway bends slightly to the right between a nest of bunkers. The green is offset in a hollow in the dunes, with a particularly dangerous bunker at the front left.

Par 3 Yards 219 The longest of the par 3s requires a straight shot with a middle iron, depending on the wind, to avoid bunkers on either side of the entry way to the green. What makes this hole difficult is a large area of dead ground short of the green that makes the hole play longer than it seems.

Par 4 Yards 416 This hole has an out-of-bounds to the right. It's an elevated tee, and most players will use an iron to avoid the deep bunker on the left. That leaves a short iron to an elevated green set beyond a row of three bunkers, though there is 40 yards of ground between the bunkers and the green.

Par 4 Yards 453

The last par 3 on the course, and perhaps the most difficult because there is out-of-bounds close the right edge of the green, which is raised and slightly angled. There were only 28 birdies on this hole in 2001, and 35 birdies in 1996. Last time, Pierre Fulke took an 8 in the final round.

Generally played into the wind, this hole turns back toward the clubhouse with a sharp bend to left. It requires a tee shot down the right side to give a clear view of the green.

Anything too far left leaves virtually a blind shot to the green.

Seven bunkers are littered along the driving zone, with five more protecting the green.

Par 4 Yards 387 From the far end of the course starts the journey back to the clubhouse. This will be an iron off the tee down the left side to set up a classic pitch-and-run into a severely uphill green with bunkers to the left and right. Any approach too long will leave a tricky recovery.

Par 5 Yards 598 A new tee had added 56 yards, making it difficult to carry two pot bunkers at the elbow of this slight dogleg to the left.

The rough can be thick if the shot goes left of those bunkers. Jim Furyk took a 10 on this hole in 2001. The slightly elevated green is exposed to the prevailing wind.

The landing area is tighter than usual between a range of bunkers on the left and bushes to the right. The best tee shot is to the right, which opens up a green well-bunkered on both sides. This is where Bobby Jones made a remarkable recovery from the left rough when he won in 1926. And it is where Darren Clarke made double bogey from the bunkers to end his challenge in 2001.

Par 4 Yards 413 Two lines of bunkers cut diagonally across the fairway up to 300 yards from the tee.

The ideal tee shot moves slightly to the right half of the fairway beyond the final bunker, allowing for a good view of the green that is positioned between seven bunkers.

Par 4 Yards 444 The tee shot should avoid bunkers and sand hills on the right to provide the best angle to the green.

Out-of-bounds to the right comes into play on the approach, and contours in the fairway can move the ball in that direction.

David Duval made par from the right rough, a key hole in his 2001 win.

Travis Bailey realized his passion for art when he was in the eighth grade. Bailey’s older brother was baby-sitting and took Bailey to his college art class. Bailey sat in the back of the class listening and learning.

The class sparked his interest, and now at age 30, if Bailey hasn’t touched a colored pencil for the day, he goes to sleep thinking “I should’ve drawn.”

“I feel like it’s almost, to a degree, some sort of a weird addiction,” Bailey says.

His upcoming show at the Lumberyard Arts Center, “From LA to the LAC,” is comprised of the past 10 years of his work. Bailey says it is a mismatch of portraits as well as personal drawings, and there is absolutely no theme.

Bailey, a native of Dodge City, went to college in Oklahoma. After getting his

All-Starstruck: Covering Boomer celebrities part of the job I

often forget how fortunate I am to be a photojournalist.

Even if my travels are limited to the Midwest, I still get access to a lot of events and activities that others without the mighty press badge can’t witness. My latest privileged coverage was at last weekend’s Major League Baseball All-Star and Celebrity Softball Game at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. My task was to photograph Kansas University men’s basketball coach Bill Self, a softball team participant, as he mingled with All-Stars and celebrities before and during the game. Coach Self is certainly a celebrity, but when you throw into the mix baseball Hall of Famers like George Brett and Ozzie Smith and TV stars like Jon Hamm of “Mad Men,” you can lose track of your priorities. Yes, journalists get awestruck too.

But I continued my work on the celebrity side of the perimeter tape, squeezing by a hulking Bo Jackson and avoiding the swinging bat of Ricky Henderson, all the while lining up photographs of Self in the middle of it all.

At times I just wanted to stop and be a fan. But while the press credentials gain you access they also circumvent you from getting too star struck. On my press pass it specifically states “no autographs.” And just to be clear, that does not mean I can’t provide my signature to Bo Jackson, but rather vice-versa.

degree, he went to visit family in California, and, a few days after a trip to the beach, was packed and ready to move there.

“One visit to the beach was enough ... it was all the motivation I needed,” Bailey says.

As a college student, he was commissioned by MCA Records, and after moving to the Los Angeles area, he used the college experience as a stepping stone for more work. Bailey had kept in contact with some of his clients, and they helped him to create more contacts and receive more commissions.

Many of his commissions are colored pencil illustrations of celebrities, including Paris Hilton, Christina Milian, Lindsay Lohan, Taryn Manning and Robin Williams. His works hang in the offices

of agents and managers and sometimes the homes of the celebrities themselves.

During that time right after college, Bailey worked on commissions nonstop, leading him to getting burnt out and to stop drawing for almost eight months. He learned his lesson and now spaces commissions out, taking one commission every two or three months.

“I’ve kind of kept a slower rhythm now,” Bailey says. “Every three or four commissions, I do something for myself or someone close to me.”

Bailey almost always works with colored pencils and currently enjoys combining different media, like spray paint and pencils, to create one piece. When making a personal piece, he prefers to create drawings of things created in his mind rather than recreate a photo like he does for most of his commissions.

“When I am doing my

own stuff, I like to just draw,” Bailey says.

After leading the fastpaced, hectic lifestyle that comes with a busy city such as Los Angeles, Bailey decided it was time to recharge and relax. In December, he moved to Baldwin City for a break from constantly being on the go.

Now he works from home doing animation for a firm.

The show at Lumberyard is a way for him to keep busy in his new, slowed-down life. Bailey plans on staying in Baldwin City until December, and has yet to create plans past then.

There will be an artist’s reception for Bailey from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Friday at Lumberyard, 718 High St. in Baldwin City. “From LA to LAC” will run until Aug. 11 and will be available for viewing during regular gallery hours. Admission is free and open to the public.

The grand finale concert, at 8 p.m. in South Park, will feature fireworks and howitzer cannons to go along with the 1812 Overture as well as music by John Philip Sousa. The band will also play favorites from the musicals “West Side Story” and “The Music Man,” plus some patriotic tunes. The event is free.

Theatre Lawrence debuts ‘Flat Stanley’ Poor Stanley Lambchop.

Everything’s normal with the 10-year-old boy until a bulletin board falls, flattening him. Soon he embarks on a whirlwind trip around the globe, as he is folded up, stuffed in an envelope and sent around the world.

That’s the plot of “The Musical Adventures of Flat Stanley,” which debuted at Theatre Lawrence Friday

and stars local children.

“The Musical Adventures of Flat Stanley” continues today, Friday, Saturday and next Sunday. Friday evening’s show is at 7:30 p.m. Saturday’s shows are at 2:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.

Sunday’s performance is at 2:30 p.m. Tickets can be purchased at the Theatre Lawrence box office, 1501 N.H., or online at theatrelawrence.com.

Theatre Lawrence also encourages kids and their families to participate in the Stanley Project. Hundreds of photos were submitted of a Stanley cutout or a lifesize Stanley posted around Lawrence. The local Stanley Project included photos from across Lawrence, in Seattle and New York, Mexican beaches and more.

To see the images, some of which are part of the “Stanley” set, see the photo gallery on Lawrence.com.

‘Mad Men’ actor brings film to town “The Do-Deca-Pentathlon,” a new film from Jay

and Mark Duplass, directors of “Cyrus” and “Jeff, Who Lives at Home,” will be shown for one night only 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the Hollywood South Wind 12 Theatres, 3433 Iowa.

Starring Mark Kelly, who plays the recurring character Dale on “Mad Men,” and Steve Zissus (“Jeff, Who Lives at Home,” “Parks & Recreation”), the film centers on two brothers whose competitive spirit is revived as they grapple with the challenges of adulthood. The bitter brothers decide to settle the sibling rivalry by reprising the do-deca-pentathlon, a 25-event Olympiad they invented and participated in during high school, ultimately causing a long-standing rift between them.

Kelly’s wife is a Lawrence native. He worked with a company called Tugg, which distributes indie films to small markets, to orchestrate the one-off showing.

Tickets are $10 and can be purchased online at tugg. com/titles/the-do-decapentathlon.

KURT ANDERSEN’S latest novel is “True Believers.” year one.’ And then in the 1970s and ‘80s, if they didn’t become their parents, they at least became bourgeois bohemians and lived life, had marriages and careers.”

If there’s an implicit criticism in that, it’s not a condemnation. Andersen himself is married and has a family — he thanks his daughters and his wife, writer Anne Kreamer, in the book’s acknowledgments, for helping him see “how the other half thinks.” That’s because “True Believers” is written in the first person, from Karen Hollander’s point of view. It allows for some smart novelistic maneuvering — how much are we to believe her? Is she hiding something? But this may seem an unusual choice for a male writer, who includes her falling in love, her thoughts as a mother and grandmother, and being a sexually active 64-year-old. “It’ll be interesting to see how people will react to her voice and her life,” he says.

“Starting with the baby boomer generation, there was this change: You never have to totally grow up.

You can still wear jeans.

You can still care about sex.

You can still get high. You can do so even if you’re this fancy lawyer,” Andersen says. “That’s a new thing.”

Although he didn’t realize it at first, what intrigues the novelist in Andersen are moments of great cultural shift. “Turn of the Century” was set

in 1999, “Heyday” was about the 1840s, and now he’s turned to the 1960s.

“I was alive when all this was happening, but I was a little kid as opposed to a bigger kid. I had to remind myself of exactly what songs were playing in 1967,” he says. “I wouldn’t call it nostalgia at all. ...

The late 1960s were this we-shall-never-see-theirlikes-again moment.”

And yet reflections of that moment are returning, as his early draft of “True Believers” and the subsequent Occupy movement show. Even the book’s cover is an echo, a play on the art for Dalton Trumbo’s antiwar classic “Johnny Got His Gun.” So why not just stick to journalism, to tracking cultural change for the New York Times and Time magazine?

“A fiction writer is trying to reveal lives and minds in a way that journalism never can,” Andersen says. “As people have always said: Through making things up you can get to different kinds of truths. I don’t want to be pretentious and use Truth with a capital T, but I think we all keep all kinds of secrets. And by secret I don’t mean I killed a hobo in Reno, but I’m scared of this. ... When we all look at ourselves honestly, we can all see, even the most straightforward of us — and I pride myself on being pretty straightforward — have all kinds of lies, secrets, dissemblings that we do.”

by Politics and Religion’)

by Jonathan Haidt.”

Mom and most everyone else is fictional, but her abusive Dad is the real article in “The Divorce Girl” by Lawrence resident and Poet Laureate of Kansas Caryn MirriamGoldberg.

Her first novel and 13th of her 14 books, “The Divorce Girl” was released earlier this month by Ice Cube Press. Advance reviews call it a humorous, painful and poignant coming-of-age Mirriam-Goldberg story.

Mirriam-Goldberg based the book on her own experience growing up in a house where her parents were divorced but neither would agree to leave. Instead, they barricaded themselves into separate areas.

As a teen, MirriamGoldberg coped with the

bizarre situation by writing down the details of her life in and out of the dysfunctional household.

Even then she knew the experience would one day make a novel, though she didn’t begin the actual work until 1996.

Her protagonist, 15-year-old Rebecca, also finds solace in photography — sometimes of her parents’ quarrels.

The novel’s first draft flew out, Mirriam-Goldberg says, though reliving those days of tension and conflict created an unusual writer’s routine.

“Each day I’d spend two to three hours a day writing at my grandfather’s big wooden desk in the basement. Then I’d get depressed, curl up and go to sleep,” she says. “When I woke, I’d feel elated and ready to do the same thing again the next day.”

Shortly before her father died in 2003, MirriamGoldberg told him she’d included episodes of his spiteful and violent behavior in the book, still under

What is the significance of Ramadan for Muslims?

‘Fair’ play

Through fasting, Muslims reflect and look forward

Library series kicks off with mature look at comic books

By Adam Strunk astrunk@ljworld.com

Comic books aren’t just for kids anymore.

Lawrence Public Library and Lawrence Magazine at 6:30 p.m. Thursday will host a two-part lecture called “A Visual History of Comics” that approaches comic books from an academic and visual perspective.

“People who are into comic books are dying to have someone talk about the subject with seriousness, rather than Jimmy Kimmel putting on a superhero suit and running down Hollywood Boulevard,” said Jai Nitz, Kansas University lecturer and comic book author, who will lead

the lecture. “It’s the perfect skeleton key to get more people into the library and reading.”

A lecture on comic books would not be complete without a visual aspect. While Nitz speaks, graphic novel artist Greg Smallwood will illustrate the conversation in real time.

Nitz and Smallwood are collaborating on a yet-tobe-named graphic novel, which they will also discuss at the lecture. The event is free and open to all ages, but the second part may only be suitable for “PG-13” audiences, as Nitz’s and Smallwood’s upcoming work has mature themes.

The event is the first of

Woman sues Bieber, says concert harmed gondola and was pulled over the crowd.

The lawsuit alleges Bieber enticed the fans into a “frenzy of screams” by waving his arms, and the sound exceeded safe decibel levels.

The gondola “acted as a sound conductor, creating a sound blast that permanently damaged both my ears,” Betts wrote in the lawsuit.

Fashion

Katrina Weiss Katrina Weiss discovered in college what a lot of other women find out later on in life: mom is usually right. As a young girl, Weiss’ mother tried to persuade her to sew, and while she has always been interested in fashion, she refused to learn.

In college, though, Weiss picked up the skill and discovered her passion for it.

She grew up in Lincoln, Neb., and moved to Lawrence in 2004 after graduating from high school.

While in school at Kansas University, Weiss studied theater design before switching her major to fine arts and then to textiles, but she never finished her degree.

“After a few years’ break in school, I went to Johnson County Community College to study fashion merchandising and design, but I didn’t finish that either. I can say, though, that I learned a lot from my time in school. I got a lot of experience,” Weiss says.

Weiss has been involved in a number of fashion shows in her time in Lawrence, including this year’s 18th Street Fashion Show and last year’s GaDuGi benefit fashion show.

“There’s a lot of stuff happening in fashion on the local level,” she says.

“It’s a lot more laid back, but you definitely don’t have to travel too far to find what you want.”

Her collection in the

up, she loved clothes but ultimately found her niche in textiles and fabrics instead of the actual construction of clothing pieces. For her and her partner’s collection at the 18th Street Fashion Show, Hunt chose all the brightly colored, diversely textured fabrics, and her partner handled all the sewing.

“Fashion is the ultimate display of my passion for textiles, and it’s definitely the most fun way to flaunt my designs,” she says.

Right now, she’s living out her passion by working for Peruvian Connection, a 35-year-old clothing company founded in Tonganoxie that specializes in luxury cotton and alpaca wool. She works with a team of in-house designers that supports other teams of Peruvian Connection designers in New York City and Lima, Peru.

It’s hidden gems like Peruvian Connections that make her proud of her Lawrence roots, and she isn’t afraid to stand up for Midwestern style. In fact, she strongly defends the style of her Lawrencian comrades.

“Anyone who has lived on the East Coast would tell you that Lawrence is actually incredibly hip and fashionable,” she says.

“I have friends that come to visit from the East Coast, and they’re always surprised.”

“

There’s a lot of stuff happening in fashion on the local level. It’s a lot more laid back, but you definitely don’t have to travel too far to find what you want.”

— Katrina Weiss, fashion designer 18th Street Fashion Show showcased her tendency toward clean lines, and for this particular collection, she integrated a lot of pastels and a few bright pops of teal and coral to complete her take on horse jockey wear for women.

“My gut instinct is always to choose the black or gray fabric, but the horse races are always so colorful,” she says. “I had to step away from the neutrals to make the collection work.”

Up next for Weiss, 27, is a move to Denver to get involved with the fashion design scene there. She appreciates fashion in the Midwest and wants to lend herself to its growth and movement.

“I’ve been in Lawrence for eight years, and being involved in the fashion community here has helped and challenged me,” she says. “I’m excited to get out to Denver and continue my work.”

Whitney Matalone Whitney Matalone learned how to make

moral commitment to one’s faith, an effort to achieve piety, and feeling and sharing the suffer- Elbayoumy ing of the needy and hungry. During Ramadan, Muslims concentrate on their faith, worry less about worldly concerns and withdraw from physical pleasures (totally abstaining from eating, drinking, smoking and sexual relations during the fasting daytime).

The fasting is intended to teach discipline, control of desires, self-restraint and generosity, while obeying God’s commandments.

Because the beginning of the Islamic lunar months depends on the actual sighting of the new crescent moon, the start and end dates of Ramadan may vary, and since the lunar calendar is shorter

than the regular (Gregorian) calendar, Ramadan moves earlier approximately 11 days every year.

During the month of Ramadan, fasting takes place between dawn and sunset.

Locally, that time will be between 4:22 a.m. and 8:42 p.m. on the first day of Ramadan (expected to start on July 21 this year) and changes slightly every day thereafter.

To an outsider, Ramadan might seem to be a time of rigor, hardship and discomfort, but to a Muslim it is a month of joy that Muslims look forward to with anticipation from year to year to observe the fasting of Ramadan, celebrate God’s gift of providing them the opportunity to fulfill their duties, and to rejoice in the joy and achievement that comes with that fulfillment.

the library’s and Lawrence Magazine’s “About Lawrence” series. Every three months, the library will work with the magazine to bring in local authors to speak about projects and relevant subjects of interest to the community.

“It’s kind of a way to tie interesting locals and authors together,” adult program librarian Rachel Smalter Hall said. “If you are really interested in the Lawrence scene, it’s a good thing to have on your radar.”

Hall expects the event, held at the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vt., to last around two hours.

Moussa Elbayoumy, community outreach coordinator, Islamic Center of Lawrence, 1917 Naismith Drive: For Muslims worldwide, the Holy Month of Ramadan, the ninth month of the Muslim lunar calendar, is very special as the spiritual highlight of the entire year.

It is a time for the revival and renewal of faith, reflection on the past year, looking forward to the coming year, and coming together as a community in prayer and celebration.

Muslims believe that it was during Ramadan, more than 1,400 years ago, that God began revealing the Muslim holy book, the Quran, to the prophet Mohammed. Fasting of Ramadan is one of the “Five Pillars” of Islam (along with the declaration of faith, daily prayers, charity and pilgrimage to Mecca).

Fasting, a form of worship found in most religions, signifies the full

clothes, ironically, by taking them apart.

As one particularly interested in reworking vintage pieces, Matalone has gotten plenty of practice in the fashion world’s equivalent of collaging.

For her senior thesis in textile design at KU in May of this year, she created a large cloak made out of numerous fabrics, textures and prints.

“I love making vintage modern by deconstructing different pieces and reconstructing them in a completely different way,” Matalone says.

Matalone, 24, has always been interested in fashion, saying that from a young age, she was very opinionated about what she wore. But she is quick to point out that she is an artist first, fashion designer second.

“Through all of the fashion design, I try to keep an artist’s perspective. But I’ve been doing the art for so long that it is interesting for me to create something that’s actually functional and wearable,” she says.

The collection she created for the 18th Street Fashion Show showcased her talent in creating outfits that girls in their 20s could take directly off the runway and wear.

She took inspiration from all aspects of a horse race — flowers, jockey wear, brightly colored horse blinders — and created an ’80s beachwear-like collection.

“This is my first collec-

sake of God. Even though fasting is a struggle, highlighted in years that Ramadan falls during the sum- Brinton mer months when the days are long and hot, Muslims look forward to it as a time of spiritual renewal.

But that struggle also reminds those fasting of the needy and the poor, those who go hungry every day, so Ramadan is also a time of increased charitable giving.

Practically speaking, the fast of Ramadan takes place each day from the time of the dawn prayer until the prayer of sunset for the entire month. Fasting means abstaining from food, drink, cigarettes and sex. Many people wake up

some hours before sunrise and have a breakfast (called Suhoor), usually with family members. In the evening, after fasting ends for the day, people eat a meal called Iftar. Iftar meals are often community events, and people are often fed at their local mosques or community centers. At the end of Ramadan there is a three-day celebration called Eid al-Fitr.

Not all Muslims are supposed to fast — there are dispensations for those who are too sick to fast or for those who are traveling. Women who are menstruating or who are pregnant also do not fast. Those who miss fasting during Ramadan can make up the days by fasting any time throughout the year.

tion that I’ve ever made,” she says. “I wanted it to be really wearable. I want my friends to be interested in buying it because that’s the type of design I want to do eventually.”

While she’s planning on applying for jobs and moving to New York to pursue her dream of fashion design in the near future, she doesn’t plan on losing her roots in Lawrence.

And her entire collection reflected that sentiment.

“We’re lucky we have a place like Lawrence because people here are funky,” she says. “I get inspiration from Lawrence.

The accessories I used with my collection — the hair, the models — everything that was in the collection was from Lawrence.”

er relatively new to the scene with her collection in the 18th Street Fashion Show. Hogue and her partner, Andrea Long, created a collection that incorporated all aspects of a horse race with feminine lace, sneaky cutouts in the fabric and a little bit of leather to finish it off.

Her steep learning curve could partially be attributed to her full-time job as a designer for Awava, a fair-trade African craft company founded to help Ugandan women reach economic sustainability.

She recently finished designing the company’s first apparel line and just got back from Uganda where local women manufactured the entire line.

“We’re talking highwaisted metallic shorts, dresses and wrap skirts,” she says. “It’s all very western fashion that these African women would never wear, but they were so excited to try on all the pieces.”

A concern Hogue had when first getting into fashion was that there would be no career opportunities. Now that she has found one, she’s content with where she is and wants to see the Lawrence fashion design community to collaborate more.

“This is pretty close to the dream,” she says.

“My vision for the fashion world is to grow ethical fashion. I also want to collaborate with other local designers and have a space where we can sell our designs collectively.”

Margie Hogue When Margie Hogue sat behind a sewing machine for the first time just three years ago, she didn’t imagine she would be creating fashion collections for the runway and apparel lines for a growing company so soon.

In fact, she chose fashion design as a career only after modeling for a fashion designer friend who encouraged her to take a few classes at Johnson County Community College to see if she liked it.

“Before taking classes, I had absolutely no design or art experience. In high school, I was much more focused on academics and sports,” Hogue says.

Hogue, 30, definitely didn’t look like a design-

Help out lawns, landscapes during severe drought Y

ou might have trouble hearing them over the hum of the air conditioner, but your trees are out there crying for water. They need your help, and a little tender loving care now can save you a lot of money later.

I have already seen a fair number of dead river birch and red maple trees whose problems likely started last year. Other tree species are showing stress and are more susceptible to insect and disease pests that will only compound the problem.

Garden Calendar

Jennifer Smith smithjen@ksu.edu

In some yards, it appears as though fall has already arrived! When trees lose their leaves, they lose the ability to photosynthesize and store energy that is necessary to get them through the rest of the year.

Shrubs, flowers, and fruit and vegetable plants are also showing stress from the high temperatures and drought. In addition to leaf drop, typical symptoms include yellowing, browning and scorching of leaves and stems.

The rain received in some parts of the county last week helped but was not enough in most cases to alleviate the drought conditions we were already experiencing.

Irrigation systems also help but may not be enough for ornamental plants, depending on specific site conditions.

The most important words to remember when it comes to watering are deep and infrequent. Watering deeply means applying enough water that it can soak into the soil profile rather than just wetting the soil surface. Watering infrequently means allowing soil to dry between applications of water.

Deep and infrequent watering develops strong root systems that can better support plants during periods of moisture stress like the drought we are currently experiencing.

To determine if your plants need water, first check the soil moisture. A long screw-

When the soil is dry, the screwdriver will likely be very difficult to push into the

ground. This method is somewhat dependent on soil type, but you can get a feel for it by trying it occasionally under different climatic conditions.

If the soil is dry when you check it, apply water deeply and infrequently. Soaker hos-

es, drip irrigation, deep water wands that apply water below the soil surface, leaky buckets and watering bags are good choices to reduce water loss from wind and evaporation.

Watering early in the morning is best for plant health.

For trees and shrubs, I like to turn the water on really low pressure and let it run out over the root zone for a few hours at a time in order to water deeply. I keep a watchful eye on the hose to make sure excess water is not running off the area and again use the screwdriver/probe method to check soil moisture below the surface.

Someone once told me that a good way to visualize the root system of a mature tree was picture a wine glass sitting on a turkey platter — with the glass representing the tree and the platter representing the root system.

When watering trees, apply water over as much of the tree’s root system as possible for best results.

Check the soil moisture again in 5-7 days and continue watering deeply and infrequently as needed. Unless the soil is dry every day below the surface, there is no need to water every day! Too frequent irrigation results in inadequate root systems.

For lawns, it is also important to understand the difference between dead and dormant. Allowing a lawn to go dormant in summer is great, but the grass can completely die in drought conditions like what we are experiencing.

Check some of the individual grass plants for green at the soil surface, and water at least once every few weeks just to keep the grass alive. If the grass is dead now, make plans to re-seed in September.

And as much as I dislike thinking about the cost of water, I know it is less than the cost of removal and replacement of any of these plants.

According to the United States Drought Monitor, current conditions in Lawrence and Douglas County are classified as severe drought.

American art pottery tiles can be a bargain find

By Terry Kovel

Bargain-priced American art pottery vases are hard to find, but art pottery tiles made by important companies still are inexpensive because they have had little publicity.

Tile collectors in England and Holland pay high prices for tiles made in their country. Rookwood Pottery of Ohio, and Low Art Tile Co. of Massachusetts probably are the most famous makers in the U.S. American Encaustic Tiling Co. of Ohio, Trent Tile Co. of New Jersey and many other companies made tiles. Most marked the back of the tile with the company name, and most had a name that included the word “tile.”

The tiles range from small, round or square tiles, about 1 to 2 inches, that were put on stoves and other equipment for decoration to large tiles

lectors are the groups of tiles that form a picture.

They were most popular in the 1920s to 1940s. The tiles usually are displayed on racks at shows.

Collectors like to frame a tile like a picture to be hung on the wall. A framed 6-inch-square Rookwood tile showing tulips sold recently for less than $100.

Q:

I’d like to know its value.

Art Bedstead Co. of Chicago, Ill., was in business from the late 1890s until at least 1910. The company made metal beds. “Art Beds” was a trade name they used. There were several manufacturers of brass and iron beds in Chicago in the late 1800s and early 1900s. In 1914, when World War I began, metal was rationed and production of metal goods for home use stopped. Value of your bed, about $300$400.

A:

Q: My father found a print being used as backing for an old photograph he inherited from his mother. The print is labeled “Execution of the Conspirators.” It consists of two panels. The left is labeled “Praparing (sic) for Execution” and the names of the conspirators, Surrat, Powell-Payne,

Harold and Atzerodt, are at the bottom. The right panel is titled “Springing of the Trap” and shows them hanging. We’ve been to Ford’s Theater, the Smithsonian, and Lincoln’s summer cottage at Soldiers Home, but we’ve never seen this particular picture in any of their collections. Anything you can tell us would be helpful.

A: Although photographs were taken of the hanging of the Lincoln conspirators, newspapers of the day were not able to print them. Pictures in newspapers and other publications were printed from engravings. Alexander Gardner was the only photographer allowed to take pictures of the execution at the Old Arsenal Prison. There are two misspellings on your print.

The word “preparing” is misspelled and the name of one of the conspirators

is Herold, not Harold. The print was published in 1865. A copy is in the Library of Congress.

Q: I grew up in Auburn, N.Y., near Owasco Lake.

During the summertime, back in the 1930s, bands came every week to play at dances held at a pavilion near the lake. Most of the bands were not famous, but Tommy Dorsey and His Orchestra came once, and I got his autograph. Would a collector be interested in buying the autograph?

A: Tommy Dorsey (19051956) was a trombone player and bandleader during the “Big Band Era.” You don’t say if you had Dorsey sign a plain piece of paper or a program. If his autograph is on a piece of paper, a collector would pay $50 to $100 for it. If it’s on a program with his band’s name on it, it could sell for more than $150.

To Officer Charlie Stewart and all other first responders everywhere.

I am the person who was in the Cadillac involved in the 5 car accident on 6th Street on May 23rd, 2012. I feel I owe my life to Charlie Stewart who discovered that I had no pulse, pulled me out of the car and began performing CPR so quickly and efficiently during those important first few minutes and then also to the medics for their follow-up care. I was subsequently flown by helicopter to KU Med Center and by 5PM I had a heart catheterization which revealed I had had a heart attack with a blood clot in a major coronary vessel. The clot was removed and a stent was placed in the affected vessel and my heart began it’s recovery.

I awoke 24 hours later unaware of anything that had happened, and I began my rehabilitation from a concussion, broken ribs and other wounds. I am now back home and transferred to the care of a cardiologist here at Lawrence Memorial hospital. I am going to cardiac rehab 3 times a week. My fractured ribs and other wounds are healing well. My girlfriend calls me her “miracle man”. I know that had it not been for the actions of Charlie Stewart and the care of everyone involved, I would not be alive and for that I feel truly grateful, humbled, and blessed.

When social media, real world collide Dear Annie: I’m a middle-aged man who has been divorced for four years. I am currently a caregiver for my mother, so I don’t get out much.

I’ve taken to many social media sites as a way to meet people with similar interests and have developed several relationships, purely platonic, with women I’ve met online. I also started an onagain, off-again romance with an old flame. We live two hours apart. Six months ago, we decided to become exclusive and work on a future together.

The problem started when one of my female Facebook friends posted on my page and my girlfriend wanted to know who she was. From there, the floodgates opened. When I told her that many of my Facebook friends are women, she flipped out and said it was inappropriate for a guy in a committed relationship to have fe-

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell anniesmailbox@comcast.net

male Facebook friends. I tried to reassure her that she had nothing to worry about, and frankly, I resent being told who my friends can be. After several days of this endless argument, I tried to be more sensitive to her needs and unfriended several of these women, hoping that would be the end of it. It wasn’t.

She says she is the only female friend I need.

When I suggest this is about her insecurities, she says I’m seeking attention from other women.

She’s a great girl, but

‘Political Animals’ a smart series Just when you thought there couldn’t be any more smart summer series on Sunday nights, Sigourney Weaver stars in the six-hour miniseries “Political Animals” (9 p.m., USA). She’s Secretary of State Elaine Barrish Hammond, the former first lady to a popular, rogue two-term president. Any resemblance to Hillary Clinton is obvious and intentional.

As secretary of state to a shallow president (Adrian Pasdar), Elaine is portrayed as the only adult in the room. Weaver gets most of the show’s best lines.

The rest are reserved for her spicy, opinionated mother (Ellen Burstyn).

In between extinguishing diplomatic brushfires, Elaine has to mother her two very different sons. Doug (James Wolk), an overachiever, is her personal assistant at the State Department.

Prodigal son T.J. (Sebastian Stan) has a substance abuse problem, possibly sparked by the burden of being the first openly gay child of a sitting president.

The show’s biggest flaw is the characterization of Elaine’s former husband. It’s obvious that the show’s creators decided that in order to make the Hillary character the star, they had to diminish the Bill stand-in. There is logic to that, but as rendered, Bud becomes dead weight at the center of what should be an effervescent romp.

As “Breaking Bad” (9 p.m.

Sunday, AMC) enters its fifth season (the first 8-episode run of its final 16-episode season), Walt (Bryan Cranston) and Jesse (Aaron Paul) discover that they’ve left some incriminating evidence behind. Their method of removing it from a police compound proves to be ingeniously old school, another reminder of Walt’s past as a high school science teacher.

Sunday’s other highlights

A familiar face is found among the victims on “Falling Skies” (8 p.m., TNT).

The asylum and its aftermath on “True Blood” (8 p.m., HBO).

Jeremy Irons narrates the nature documentary “The Unlikely Leopard” (8 p.m., Nat Geo Wild).

A simple art heist can’t explain a violent assault on “Longmire” (9 p.m., A&E).

Will’s antics land him in the tabloids on “The Newsroom” (9 p.m., HBO).

The funeral for Merc’s father becomes an industry event and an excuse of conspicuous giftgiving on “Episodes” (9:30 p.m., Showtime).

— Faithful and Upset Dear Faithful: We agree that your girlfriend seems insecure and controlling and will likely demand that you give up all of your female friends at some point. However, we believe she also is responding to the apparent fact that the majority of your friends are women.

Your girlfriend attributes it to your desire for female attention. Please examine your behavior and ask yourself whether she has a point.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Sunday, July 15: This year much goes on behind the scenes. You are ending a 12-year luck cycle, only to begin a new one in 2013. If you are single, the person you choose this year will not be as good for you as the one who surfaces in 2013.

Security boss apologizes Is it just the economy? for bungled Olympics contract Other issues may play role 2012 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

By Raphael Satter Associated Press

LONDON — The boss of British security group G4S said Saturday he was sorry that his company had bungled the contract to help protect the 2012 Olympic Games, a humbling televised apology that followed days of ugly news about his firm’s failures.

Nick Buckles spoke to the BBC as British newspapers were filled with accounts of chaotic recruitment, sloppy security, and even an allegation that some G4S staffers weren’t fluent in English.

The firm has not been able to provide enough guards, and some 3,500 British troops are being called in to help fill the gap in security, and police have been put on notice that they may need to help fill the breach.

“We’re deeply disappointed, and we certainly are very sorry for what’s happened over the last week or two,” the chief executive said. “It’s a very complex process. No one’s ever undertaken to recruit 10,000 fully trained security staff for such a lengthy period of time.”

In December, G4S PLC promised to provide that number of people to help

Buckles said that the operation was a “mammoth undertaking” involving a complex recruitment operation in five or six different stages, adding that, as of Saturday, some 4,000 people were on the ground and that about 9,000 people were still in the pipeline — which still leaves a significant shortfall.

Buckles added that he only became aware of the problem eight or nine days ago.

His comments came as the British unearthed one episode after another of apparent incompetence at the Crawley, Englandbased company.

The Daily Mirror tabloid quoted Sarah Hubble, whom it described as a former G4S recruiter, as saying that background

checks were skipped to meet targets and that sensitive recruitment material was left lying around the company’s offices. Its right-leaning rival, The Sun, quoted an unnamed former police officer as saying that some security guards couldn’t speak English.

In earlier comments to BBC radio, Buckles couldn’t guarantee that all his staffers spoke fluent English, saying it was a “difficult question to answer.”

“I am pretty sure that they can, but I can’t say categorically as I sit here today,” he said.

Buckles has said his company would foot the bill for the last-minute military deployment, putting the loss on his company’s $442 million contract at up to $78 million. That includes paying penalties of 10 or 20 million pounds for failing to live up to his company’s end of the deal.

Poland honors Reagan, John Paul II with new statue

By Vanessa Gera Associated Press

GDANSK, POLAND — Polish officials unveiled a statue of former President Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul II on Saturday, honoring two men widely credited in this Eastern European country with helping to topple communism 23 years ago.

The statue was unveiled in Gdansk, the birthplace of Lech Walesa’s Solidarity movement, in the presence of about 120 former Solidarity activists, many of whom were imprisoned in the 1980s for their roles in organizing or taking part in strikes against the communist regime.

The bronze statue, erected in the lush seaside President Ronald Reagan Park, is a slightly largerthan-life rendering of the two late leaders. It was inspired by an Associated Press photograph taken in 1987 on John Paul’s second pontifical visit to the U.S. The photographer who took the picture, Scott

WASHINGTON — As the economy colors and polarizes voters’ attitudes, the Election Day outcome for President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney may be decided on the margins by narrower issues that energize small but crucial slivers of the population.

For three months, the economy by most measures has faltered. Yet the White House contest has remained locked in place, with the incumbent holding on to a slight national lead or in a virtual tie with his rival. Analysts from both parties have no doubt that absent a defining, unpredictable moment, the race will remain neck and neck until November.

That, several strategists say, means secondary issues such as health care, immigration, education, even little-mentioned social issues such as abortion, guns or gay rights could make a difference when targeted to the right audiences. Under those conditions, the advantage, these strategists say, rests with Obama.

“Part of the power of the presidency, part of the power of incumbency, is having the ability with an executive order to make rules, make effective law that is deeply satisfying to a large group of supporters,” said Steve Schmidt, Republican John McCain’s presidential campaign manager in 2008 and top aide in President George W. Bush’s re-election operation. “Being able to deliver if you’re an incumbent president for really important parts of the Democratic party coalition, that’s an enormously important thing.”

Role of secondary issues Obama already has moved to shore up his support with certain voting blocs, with directives

PEOPLE LOOK AT A NEW STATUE of former President Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul II that was unveiled Saturday in Gdansk, Poland. The statue honors the two men whom many Poles credit with helping to topple communism.

Stewart, expressed satisfaction that one of his pictures has helped immortalize “a wonderful moment in time between the two men.”

“In the news business, we’re used to having a moment and then that moment being gone a day later. This is one image that should last for a

good long time,” Stewart, who now teaches graphic design and photography at Greenville Technical College in South Carolina, said in a phone interview a day before the ceremony. “I’m happy that it’s been chosen as the seminal moment to represent the relationship of these two people to Poland.”

Obama already has moved to shore up his support with certain voting blocs, with directives on birth control and immigration.

Romney has kept his campaign message exclusively on economic themes, casting the election as a referendum on Obama’s economic stewardship.

on birth control and immigration. He’s given his backing to gay marriage and brawled with congressional Republicans on behalf of lower student loan rates. Each issue won praise from disparate groups of voters, many of whom had voiced frustration with the president or whose enthusiasm for Obama had been waning.

“In every single state there will be micro-targeted advertisement, direct mail, or online campaign to get voters out there to kind of hit them on those personal issues that are important to them,” said Rodell Mollineau, president of a pro-Obama political organization, American Bridge. “Whether you’re pro-choice or antichoice, pro-immigration or anti-immigration, you will be touched one way or the other.”

The role of these secondary issues is similar to the part that gay marriage ballot initiatives played in the 2004 contest between President George W. Bush and Democratic nominee John Kerry. That election was dominated by the war in Iraq and national security issues. Though the extent to which 11 ballot issues, especially ones in Michigan and Ohio, helped turn out Bush voters eight years ago is a matter of debate, many analysts believe the initia-

No economy solution As for Romney and Obama, “neither of them seems to be delivering a knockout blow on the economy, and that’s what does raise these issues and their salience,” said Daniel Smith, a political scientist at the University of Florida who researched the role ballot initiatives played in the 2004 election.

For three months, the economy has created jobs at a snail’s pace, and the unemployment rate has inched up from 8.1 percent to 8.2 percent. Economic growth has slowed, consumer confidence is down, and a strong majority of the public views the country heading in the wrong track.

For all that, an Associated Press/GfK poll last month had Romney and Obama in a statistical tie and a Washington PostABC poll this week had them even at 47 percent each. More remarkable, a majority in both polls — 56 percent in the AP poll and 58 percent in the PostABC survey — said they believed Obama would win re-election.

The Romney camp says the contest is still taking shape and Romney is just now beginning to garner a national profile.

“You still have a president who is enjoying the benefits of incumbency,” said Kevin Madden, a senior Romney adviser. “He gets a lot more attention, and has a higher profile with voters.”

Ever disciplined, Romney has kept his campaign message exclusively on economic themes, casting the election as a referendum on Obama’s economic stewardship. Even when he has strayed into side issues such as health care and the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold Obama’s signature law, Romney has kept his argument focused on the economics of the law.

U.N. team investigates Pair lift off in lawn chair balloon flight mass killing in Syria

By Jeff Barnard

By Ben Hubbard Associated Press

BEIRUT — U.N. observers investigating a reported mass killing in a Syrian village on Saturday found pools of blood in homes and spent bullets, mortars and artillery shells, adding details to the emerging picture of what anti-regime activists have called one of the deadliest events of Syria’s uprising.

Dozens of people have already been buried in a mass grave, and activists are still struggling to determine the total number of people killed in what they say was a violent bombardment by government tanks and helicopters this week.

Some of the emerging details suggested that, rather than the outright bombing of civilians that the opposition has depicted, the violence in Tremseh may have been a lopsided fight between the army pursuing the opposition and activists and locals trying to defend the village. Nearly all of the dead are men. The U.N. observers said the assault

appeared to target specific homes of army defectors or opposition figures.

Running tolls ranged from 103 to 152, including dozens of bodies buried in neighboring villages or burned beyond recognition. The activists expected the number to rise since hundreds of residents remain unaccounted for, and locals believe bodies remained in nearby fields or were thrown into the Orontes River.

The Tremseh violence appeared to be one of the bloodiest events in the now 16-month-old uprising against President Bashar Assad, in which activists say more than 17,000 people have been killed so far.

The new deaths brought intensified international condemnation of his regime, and the Turkish prime minister added his voice to the chorus Saturday.

“These vicious massacres, these attempts at genocide, these inhuman savageries are nothing but the footsteps of a regime that is on its way out,” Recep Tayyip Erdogan said.

BEND, ORE. — An Oregon gas station owner and an Iraqi adventurer took flight Saturday aboard a pair of lawn chairs suspended from helium-filled party balloons in an attempt to fly across Oregon and Idaho and into Montana.

About 90 volunteers and several hundred onlookers counted down and then cheered as Kent Couch and Fareed Lafta lifted off from Couch’s Shell gas station.

The duo safely cleared a two-story motel, a coffee stand and a light post.

“The interesting thing is, anybody can do this,” said Couch, the veteran of several lawn chair balloon flights. “They don’t have to sit on the couch thinking, ‘I should have done it.’

They can do it.”

Lafta, a mountain climber and sky diver, said he had shared Couch’s childhood dream of floating like a cloud. He sent Couch an email two winters ago after reading accounts of Couch’s earlier flights.

IRAQI ADVENTURER FAREED LAFTA, RIGHT, and Bend, Ore., gas station owner Kent Couch lift off Saturday from Couch’s gas station in Bend, Ore., as they attempt to fly some 360 miles to Montana. The flight is a warm-up for a future flight planned in Iraq. and say we need to defeat terrorists,” Lafta said. “We don’t need just an Army.

We need ideology and to just have fun.”

Volunteers filled 350 5-foot diameter red, white, blue and black balloons with helium and tied them to Couch’s homemade tandem lawn chair rig. The balloons were arranged in bunches to represent the colors of the U.S. and Iraqi flags. An American flag flew from the

bottom of the framework.

Just before liftoff, they had to ask children in the crowd to return four balloons to provide extra lift.

The rig includes 800 pounds of ballast — red Kool-Aid in 40-gallon barrels. Besides a GPS, navigation gear, satellite phone, oxygen, two-way radios, eight cameras, and parachutes, they were carrying two Red Ryder BB rifles and a pair of blowguns to shoot out

enough balloons to come to earth when the time is right.

Expecting to float at 15,000-18,000 feet, where temperatures drop to near zero, they packed sleeping bags to stay warm.

Electronic gear was powered by a solar panel. A flare gun was tied onto the framework for emergencies. They also carried the ashes of a family friend to spread over the high desert.

Couch said their biggest challenge was finding enough helium to fill all the balloons. They sent as far as the Midwest for bottles.

Each balloon that popped on inflation represented a $50 loss, but Couch would not divulge the total cost.

The two men hoped to fly through the night across the mountains of Idaho and touch down this morning somewhere in southwestern Montana. They initially floated to the southeast after the 10:20 a.m. liftoff, but the flight website tracker showed them heading northeast, toward Spokane, Wash.

The flight is a warm-up for future plans to fly a tandem lawn chair balloon rig in Baghdad.
