Police putting focus on safety

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

Learning experience That was an issue with the Free State Community and Learning Garden project across town at Free State High School. The project is a community garden and a school garden.

About a dozen community, school and business leaders were involved in the planning of the new garden, but once the handson work began this summer, there was some confusion about who was exactly in charge of overseeing the

When Lawrence Police Chief Tarik Khatib talks about crime prevention, he often uses the grade school example about the elements needed to build a fire: a spark, oxygen and combustible material.

“You need a suspect. You need a victim. And you need an environment, which is conductive to that,” he said.

“If you’re missing any one of those, you’re less likely to have a crime.”

In the one year since Khatib became interim chief and was later promoted as the department’s permanent leader, his requests for additional resources, namely more patrol officer positions, have gained most of the attention.

But he Khatib said that’s only part of trying to reduce Lawrence’s crime rate, which in recent years was higher than other area cities such as Lenexa and Overland Park, and university communities, such as Boulder, Colo., and Norman, Okla.

Khatib also wants the department to help people learn more about how to reduce their chances of becoming a victim and how to make their homes and businesses safer.

“There are a lot of educational exchanges that can take place to let people know how to maximize the environment they have to increase safety,” Khatib said.

His officers and the city’s planning department are working on putting together a public presentation for anyone to attend about how to design a safe environment at home or at a business.

Khatib is not looking to make things complex.

“It does not really mean that you have to put a bunch of cameras up,” he said.

It can often be as simple as

THERESA MARTIN, LAWRENCE, PICKS SOME OKRA Wednesday in one of the Community and Learning Garden plots at Free State High School. Martin, who has paid $60 so far this summer for a 30-foot by 30-foot plot, thinks the community garden is a good idea, but might work better with smaller plots, a better watering system and more initial groundwork before planting.

City leaders hope to start community gardens by spring

By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

Lawrence City Commissioner Bob Schumm is a lifelong garden enthusiast and is happy to see more gardens growing in Lawrence.

“I think it’s absolutely wonderful that the schools are getting involved in gardens and showing kids what they can grow and how to take care of things,” he said.

He’s leading an effort to use plots of vacant, cityowned land for gardens.

The land, depending on size, could be used by residents or Lawrence farmers who want to grow more produce for markets.

“There’s seems to be a lot of genuine interest in this,”

“

I think it’s absolutely wonderful that the schools are getting involved in gardens and showing kids what they can grow and how to take care of things.”

— Lawrence City Commissioner Bob Schumm he said.

Eileen Horn, sustainability coordinator for the city and county, said city staff members have identified about 20 sites around town for possible use. They range from one-third of an acre to 7 acres and are primarily located near parks and ballfields or on vacant lots where houses have been abandoned and bulldozed.

Also, there quite a few in

North Lawrence where the soil is rich because of the nearby river.

The city is meeting with neighborhoods and farmers to get their thoughts on how a community garden program might work.

Among the main questions: ! Who would oversee the garden plots? ! What would the contract look like? ! Is there adequate parking and water access?

Schumm said he thinks the biggest hurdle will be

deciding who manages the gardens.

“If you have a site with 10 plots on it and two people let it go and it becomes an eyesore, then who is going to be the person who agrees to take care of it?” he asked.

ings at Milford Lake. She’s a regular at Flagstop Resort and RV Park and her camp spot has a wide-open view of the largest lake in Kansas.

“I’d rather sit out here than at home,” the Junction City widow said. “It’s peaceful and relaxing.”

But lately, Bryant hasn’t had much to look at. In the days before one of the biggest weekends of the summer season, the lake sat empty and still. Picnic areas were deserted, parking lots barren and boat ramps barricaded.

The culprit was just a few steps away from Bryant’s camper: a toxic, smelly bluegreen algal bloom.

“You can sit here and watch the stuff grow,” Bryant said.

Known scientifically as cyanobacteria, the blue-green algal bloom has wreaked havoc on Milford Lake since mid-July.

Three dogs have died from the toxic bacteria and

two human illnesses have been linked to it.

Last week, the Kansas Department of Health and Environment took water samples that showed toxin levels were 80 times higher than what the World Health Organization deems dangerous. It was that report that shut down all activity on the lake.

Last Tuesday, Bryant and her two campground comrades, Kurt Champagne and Dave Behrens, were among the few “die-hards ” still at the campground.

“People keep calling me.

And, I say, ‘No, you can’t get out on (the lake). But you can still come here to play, party and drink.’ But people just don’t want to come,” Bryant said.

While Bryant lacks visitors, Flagstop Resort owner Jan Boan is in need of customers.

The resort’s 16 cabins had

been booked for weeks. But when news of the warning went out, the cancellation calls came in.

Boan, who owns the resort with her husband, Gary, won’t know until the end of the year how bad business has been. But she knows it definitely wasn’t good.

“It’s been a difficult summer,” she said.

The Flagstop Resort isn’t alone. Private and government owned campgrounds, marinas, convenience stores and boat shops have all suffered, said R.J. Harms, Milford Lake project manager for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

“It’s pretty quiet. Not many people around. We’ve been sitting here looking at green water for the last month wondering when it’s going to change for us,” Harms said.

“This is not done lightly,” Langer said of the warnings his agency puts out. “This is an issue we think will be with us for a long time. We are doing what we should do as stewards of the environment.”

A billion-year-old mystery Cyanobacteria isn’t new in

Kansas. In fact, scientists believe the organism has been on earth for billions of years and were key in placing oxygen in the atmosphere.

Despite its long history, there is much that remains a mystery about cyanobacteria.

“A lot of these are basically unplanned experiments,” Loftin said. “And, mother nature tends to fool us.”

More substantive changes revolve around better management of the watershed to reduce the nutrients and sediments that are deposited into the reservoirs.

“Long-term solutions are a bit more challenging,” Loftin said. “Nutrient issues and sediment issues are going to be an issue to contend with, and there may be other factors we might not understand yet in terms of water quality.”

As for Milford Lake, some question what can be accomplished.

“There is not a whole lot that can be done by our agency or anyone else,” Harms said. “It’s a monumental task to clean up a watershed above a big water body and our hands are tied at the mercy of mother nature.”

Langer has a slightly different outlook. He thinks improving bodies of water like Milford Lake is going to take a fundamental shift in thinking on the part of everyone who lives above a watershed.

“If we are going to truthfully address water quality issues, we have to go all the way upstream and say, ‘OK, what are you doing, how are the lands being used and what practices should we look at changing and altering to keep nutrients from flushing off the surface and into the water?’” Langer said.

Fun on dry land As governmental officials look for long-term solutions, the campers at Milford’s Flagstop Resort continue to look for ways to stay entertained while water advisories are in place.

“We have $50,000 worth of equipment, and all we can do is drink whiskey,” Dave Behrens said on Tuesday.

Campers have put on scavenger hunts, held a 30-golf cart funeral procession for a broken dashboard hula girl and spent quite a bit of time talking about the water conditions, Kurt Champagne said.

In time for the Labor Day weekend, the KDHE lifted the ban on fishing and boating at Milford Lake. But it did so with a strong warning that people and animals should avoid any contact with the water.

Even with part of the ban lifted, Champagne said it will be a tough sell to convince some people to return.

“It’s hard to explain to a 7-yearold that you can’t go swimming,” he said. “You can only entertain the kids for so long.”

Regardless of the restrictions in place, neither Champagne nor Behrens plan to abandon the campground, whose occupants have formed an extended family of sorts.

“This is what we love to do,” Behrens said.

— Reporter Christine Metz can be reached at 832-6352.

Priest said they plan to have a fence around the garden by homecoming. They also plan to expand the community garden from four to 12 plots next year.

Priest said she’s received no complaints from community gardeners.

“The first year, I think, is always one of the hardest, especially for as inexperienced as we are,” she said.

“You’ve got to get over those rough spots, and I realize that people want things to happen quickly but that’s part of growing and learning.”

Shooting for spring The city of Lawrence is not only taking notes from the Free State garden, but looking at successful community garden projects that are on city-owned property in places like Manhattan, Lenexa and Salina as well as Cleveland and Boston.

The plan for community gardens will make its way to the City Commission where the public will have the opportunity to talk about it. In the meantime, residents can weigh in by contacting Horn by email at ehorn@lawrenceks.org.

Horn and Schumm said the goal is to have at least a couple of plots ready for planting by spring.

Pakistan detains al-Qaida suspect A battered al-Qaida suffered another significant blow when Pakistani agents working with the CIA arrested a senior leader believed to have been tasked by Osama bin Laden with targeting American economic interests around the globe, Pakistan announced Monday.

Younis al-Mauritani’s arrest — made public six days before the 10-year anniversary of the 9/11 attacks — also point to improved cooperation between two uneasy anti-terror allies after the rancor surrounding bin Laden’s killing.

Al-Qaida has seen its senior ranks thinned since bin Laden was killed May 2 in a raid by U.S. Navy SEALs in Pakistan without the knowledge of local authorities. Atiyah Abd al-Rahman, the terror network’s No. 2, was killed in a CIA missile strike last month.

The Pakistani military said the arrest of al-Mauritani and two other Qaida operatives took place near the Afghan border in the southwestern city of Quetta, long known as a base for militants. It did not say when. The arrests were carried out in the past two weeks, according to a U.S. official speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence matters.

Recent quakes lead to insurance questions

By Mark Fagan mfagan@ljworld.com

When the Earth shakes in Colorado or along the East Coast, the financial reverberations can be felt in insurance offices Lawrence.

Ron King, who sells American Family Insurance, knows that as word travels of an earthquake in Colorado, along the East Coast or — as happened recently — in Alaska, folks in and around northeast Kansas may start wondering if their homeowners’ insurance is on shaky ground.

The short answer: Homeowners’ insurance does not cover damage from an earthquake,

but homeowners can add such coverage if desired. On a $200,000 home, the cost is about $35 to $40 a year.

“It just gets people thinking, ‘Gosh, this really Praeger happens,’ ” said King, whose Ron King Agency is at 3010 Four Wheel Drive. “It does really happen. That’s why people get insurance.

“I guarantee you: Washington, D.C., never thought they’d have an earthquake. The bottom line: You have to decide if you’re willing to take that risk

or whether you want to pay that premium and transfer the risk to the insurance company.”

Sandy Praeger, Kansas insurance commissioner, acknowledges that recent earthquakes might spur interest in such coverage.

“Earthquake coverage is not a part of a regular homeowners, renters or condominium insurance policy,” Praeger said. “If your company offers it, coverage can be added by including an endorsement to your policy or by purchasing a separate earthquake policy. In either case, you will pay an extra premium.”

Praeger, a Lawrence resident,

Fire destroys nearly 500 homes A roaring wildfire raced through rain-starved farm and ranchland in central Texas on Monday, destroying nearly 500 homes during a rapid advance that was fanned in part by howling winds from the remnants of Tropical Storm Lee. At least 5,000 people were forced from their homes in Bastrop County about 25 miles east of Austin, and about 400 were in emergency shelters, officials said.

Strong winds and drought conditions allowed the fire to travel quickly over somewhat hilly terrain, burning through pine and cedar trees and wiping out subdivisions as well as ranchland. The blaze consumed as much as 25,000 acres along a line that stretched for about 16 miles, Texas Forest Service officials said.

Bachmann campaign officials leave Republican presidential contender Michele Bachmann lost her campaign chief Monday, along with his close deputy, in a campaign shake-up that the Minnesota congresswoman’s aides sought to downplay.

Citing health reasons, veteran GOP strategist Ed Rollins stepped down as campaign manager. Bachmann said one of her strategists would take over on an interim basis as Rollins moves to a senior adviser role.

“In less than 50 days and with fewer resources than other campaigns, Ed was the architect that led our campaign to a historic victory in Iowa,” Bachmann said in a statement released late Monday, pointing to her win in the Ames Straw Poll last month. “I am grateful for his guidance and leadership, and fortunate to retain his valuable advice even though his health no longer permits him to oversee the day-to-day operations of the campaign.”

Speaking to CNN, where he was a contributor before the Bachmann campaign, the 68-year-old Rollins said the front-runners were now former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and Texas Gov. Rick Perry. He said Perry’s late entry into the race slowed Bachmann’s buzz and fundraising.

Lee creates twisters, deadly floods

The slow-moving remnants of Tropical Storm Lee dumped rain across the South and whipped up twisters that damaged dozens of Georgia homes as the system pushed farther inland on Monday. Several people were swept away by floodwaters.

In Mississippi, a man was drowned while trying to cross a swollen creek, while authorities called off the search for a missing swimmer presumed dead off Alabama. Another man was missing after trying to cross a creek in suburban Atlanta.

Tornadoes that caused minor damage were also reported in Alabama, where rain was expected to taper off overnight. Southern cities that reported numerous roads closed by flooding included Birmingham, Ala., and Chattanooga, Tenn. More than 9 inches of rain had fallen in Chattanooga, setting a 24-hour record for rainfall.

DARRYL PORTER, AN INMATE AT LANSING CORRECTIONAL FACILITY, sings a solo during a June performance of the East Hill Singers at Overland Park Church of Christ. The East Hill Singers are an all-male choir of inmates and community volunteers formed by Arts in Prison Inc. in 1998.

Choir seen as way to promote positive change in prisoners

By Melissa Treolo mtreolo@theworldco.info

Prison is a place to serve time for a crime, to right what has been wronged, to … learn to sing in a choir?

For about 50 inmates living in the East Unit of Lansing Correctional Facility, a minimumsecurity section of the prison, learning to sing is exactly what they have been doing.

The inmates are members of the East Hill Singers, an allmale choir of inmates and community volunteers formed in 1998 by Arts in Prison Inc. Based in Overland Park, Arts in Prison is an organization that reaches out to inmates, mostly in facilities in Leavenworth, Johnson and Wyandotte counties, offering classes and activities through which they can express themselves artisti-

Dr. Huerter and Dr. Bennett are married and have an 18-month-old son, William. They are looking forward to being back in Lawrence where they have family ties. Dr. Bennett is a Lawrence native and a graduate of Lawrence High School. Dr. Huerter’s brother and sister-in-law, Drs. Eric and Pam Huerter, also practice in Lawrence.

“

What we know is that in practicing art, inmates are given the opportunity for self-reflection; they connect to that which is good inside themselves and they create something beautiful ... they begin to hope and they can see a more positive future.”

— Leigh Lynch, executive director of Arts in Prison Inc. cally. The hope is that painting, writing or singing will incite positive change among prisoners and reduce their returns to prison.

“Arts in Prison’s mission is to motivate and inspire positive change through the arts using

arts as a tool,” said Leigh Lynch, the organization’s executive director. “And what we know is that in practicing art, inmates are given the opportunity for self-reflection; they connect to that which is good inside themselves and they create something beautiful, whether it’s a visual art piece or piece of music. … They can connect to those positive attributes within themselves. When they do, they begin to hope, and they can see a more positive future.”

Actually, the organization started two men’s choirs at Lansing, one called the Tower Choir made up of inmates in a medium security section. The East Hill Singers, however, get to leave the prison about four times a year to perform public concerts at churches throughout the area.

Autumn is the ideal time of year to enjoy the great outdoors in Lawrence. Not only is it colorful with hues of red, orange and yellow, but the temperatures are more comfortable.

If you need motivation, well there’s plenty of opportunities to pick from. There are bicycle rides, runs, walks and golf tournaments, along with health fairs and educational classes.

There’s even Walktober.

It’s a national walking program that’s been finetuned by Lawrence health education specialists for our community. Last year 700 residents participated, and organizers hope more will join this year.

Aynsley Anderson, community education coordinator for Lawrence Memorial Hospital and an organizer, said people can participate individually or as a team and the goal is to increase their walking during October. The goal is for everyone to walk at least 2 hours and 30 minutes a week, which is recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Participants can keep track of their miles on paper or on a local “Get Moving” website.

Those who reach their goal will receive a small prize. In addition, they will get emails three times a week that contain fitness, health and nutrition tips plus recipes.

Choir CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

The East Hill Singers next perform at 4 p.m. Nov. 6 at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, 11311 Johnson Drive, Shawnee.

Of the 35 volunteers who sing with the choir, some are former inmates who had been members while incarcerated.

Lynch cites them as proof of the group’s effectiveness.

In rehearsal The inmates rehearse with conductor Kirk Carson twice a week for an hour-anda-half in the unit’s chapel.

They don’t see the community volunteer singers until about two hours before a performance, when the entire group rehearses in the chosen venue.

Inmate Darryl Porter has been singing bass with the group for three years now, and he says all the work he’s put into it “brings satisfaction to my soul.”

“It’s a great accomplishment,” Porter, a soft-spoken 51-year-old from Kansas City, Mo., said during an interview at the East Unit. “I get pride and joy out of it.”

Porter is now serving his 19th year in prison for armed robbery, attempted murder and kidnapping. He is expected to face the parole board in 2013. He calls the incident

that landed him behind bars in 1992 a result of “the heat of the moment” and hanging out with the wrong crowd.

He says he has been trying to turn his life around ever since.

What motivates him to change?

“Being sent to prison and looking and seeing what’s around you and asking yourself, ‘Is this what you really want out of life?’” Porter said. “‘No’ was the answer to that.”

Being in the choir does the same for fellow inmate Michael Buddenhagen, 46, from Pittsburg, another bass with the East Hill Singers. He is going on his sixth year of incarceration for manufacturing methamphetamine.

This is his third time around a cellblock. Buddenhagen says he wants it to be his last, though, especially with two sons, whom he admits to not having “been there for … at all.”

Buddenhagen sees the East Hill Singers as a way to bond with community members and, he hopes, learn something from them.

“It’s just a great opportunity to meet with gentlemen, the volunteers, from the greater Kansas City (area). … They’ve got their lives together. (It’s) kind of a mentor thing I guess,” he said. “It’s good to just be with different people that’s not actually incarcerated, and then going out in the public to sing is a big blessing, too.”

‘Conducting Hope’ The work going on in and outside the walls of the East Unit has caught the attention of those living well outside of Kansas. Margie Friedman, a longtime television producer in Los Angeles, is shooting a documentary about the singers called, “Conducting Hope.” Or she is trying to — funding has been an issue, she says.

The documentary she envisions will feature interviews with singer-inmates and will center on their experience behind bars.

She and her crew have been to the prison to shoot twice.

Filming the East Hill Singers idea “just had a lot more interesting layers to it than the other choirs that I had found, one being that they perform outside of prison, which I thought was incredible,” she said during a phone interview.

Both Buddenhagen and Porter participated in the documentary.

Porter says the East Hill Singers provide him one way of making positive changes in his life.

“It just makes you feel all bubbly inside,” he says of audience members’ comments after a performance. “(It’s like) wow, I put a smile on somebody’s face. A person I didn’t know got some joy out of something that I did.”

quake insurance typically is 10 to 20 percent of the coverage limit. This is different from a homeowners policy, which is usually only one flat amount deductible, like $500 or $1,000.

King occasionally answers questions about earthquake insurance but has yet to have a single customer ever file an earthquake claim.

“But that doesn’t mean it won’t happen in our lifetime,” King said. “People just have to make an informed decision.”

The retreat returns to the Ninth Street Missionary Baptist Church on Sunday. Several guests will speak at the service.

More than 300 women of different denominations attended the event last year, said Kimberly Kearse-Lane, president of the event’s Deaconess Board. The retreat gives women a chance to meet together and rejuvenate their religious passion, she said.

“The women put time into themselves and treat it like a retreat,” she said. “Even a wise woman feels tired and needs to find her calling again.”

tions for property owners to consider. McCullough said the most specific example he could recall was input from officers about lighting near gas stations and making sure clerks have a clear view of gas pumps.

“These are some helpful suggestions from the experts,” said McCullough, who believes the comments are aimed at reducing possible safety risks and curbing the potential for crime to occur.

The police chief did say he sees opportunities to improve safety downtown, including the lighting in some parking lots. He said some downtown businesses offer good examples about a safe environment. They are well lit and have open windows where people passing by can see inside. That way if a clerk is possibly in danger due to a robbery or something else, someone passing by is more likely to notice it.

Some other businesses, he said, clutter their windows or cover them completely with posters, for example, and it’s less likely someone passing by can see inside in case something dangerous is happening.

“I’m hoping that if we can educate,” Khatib said, “and people incorporate some of the concepts into their environments, we’d be ahead.”

BRIEFLY UN declares famine in another region MOGADISHU, SOMALIA — A famine spreading through Somalia is killing more than a hundred children each day, the U.N. said Monday, and warned that hundreds of thousands more people may die in the coming months unless they receive urgent help.

The starvation is mostly taking place out of sight of the world media, in areas of southern Somalia under control of violent Islamist insurgents.

Delivering food is difficult and dangerous. Even in the government-controlled capital of Somalia, where 9,000 African Union peacekeepers are on patrol, organized theft of truckloads of food aid is rife and shootouts at aid distributions are frequent.

AUDIENCE MEMBERS CHEER for President Barack Obama, foreground, after the annual Labor Day parade Monday in Detroit. Obama’s speech at the annual event was serving as a dress rehearsal for the jobs address he’s delivering to a joint session of Congress on Thursday night.

GOP candidates talk tea party agenda COLUMBIA, S.C. — Pledging fidelity to the Constitution and vowing to carry the tea party’s priorities to the White House, the Republicans chasing the GOP’s presidential nomination pitched themselves Monday to their party’s libertarian activists as the strongest candidates to roll back four years of President Barack Obama’s tenure.

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney said the Obama administration flouted the Constitution to push a political agenda.

Rep. Michele Bachmann of Republicans oppose extending the payroll tax cut, calling it an unproven job creator that will only add to the nation’s massive debt. The tax cut extension is set to expire Jan. 1.

Republicans also cite huge federal budget deficits in expressing opposition to vast new spending on jobs programs.

But Obama said lawmakers need to act — and act quickly. “The time for Washington games is over. The time for action is now,” he told a supportive union crowd that Detroit police said was in the

World markets savaged

LONDON — World stock markets took a beating Monday over fears that the U.S. economy was heading back into a recession just as the European debt crisis was heating up and the eurozone’s economic indicators were slumping.

Any troubles in the world’s largest economy cast a long shadow over the markets, and a report Friday that the U.S. economy failed to add any new jobs in August caused European and Asian stock markets to sink sharply Monday.

! San Francisco police officers helped Apple Inc. investigators look for a missing iPhone prototype that was left in a city restaurant in July, the police chief said, the second time in two years the company has lost an unreleased smartphone.

Police Chief Greg Suhr told the San Francisco Chronicle that four plainclothes officers accompanied two Apple investigators who searched a San Francisco home for the iPhone prototype.

Apple employees who contacted the department asking for help finding a lost item conducted the house search after asking the resident’s permission, and the officers did not enter the home. Apple tracked the smartphone using GPS technology, but the gadget wasn’t found there, said Lt. Troy Dangerfield.

Obama calls on GOP at rally to ‘put country before party,’ create jobs

DETROIT — President Barack Obama used a boisterous Labor Day rally to put congressional Republicans on the spot, challenging them to place the country’s interests above all else and vote to create jobs and put the economy back on a path toward growth. “Show us what you’ve got,” he said.

In a partial preview of the jobs speech he’s delivering to Congress on Thursday night, Obama said roads and bridges nationwide need rebuilding and more than 1 million unemployed construction workers are itching to “get dirty” making the repairs.

“There’s so much uncertainty, so much fear, that investors don’t know what to do,” said David Kotok, chairman and chief investment officer at Cumberland Advisors.

Investors were also shaken by signs that the Italian government’s commitment to its austerity program is wavering. Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi’s government has backtracked on some deficitcutting measures, prompting EU officials to urge Italy to stick to its promised plan.

The difference in interest rates between the Greek and benchmark German 10-year bonds, known as the spread, spiraled to new records on Monday, topping 17.3 percentage points. Yields on the Greek bonds were above 18 percent.

Mario Draghi, the incoming chief of the European Central Bank, told a conference in Paris that among the common currency’s problems was a lack of coordinated fiscal policies and that the solution was more integration.

He dismissed the idea of eurobonds — debt issued jointly by the eurozone countries.

Some have argued this would help weaker countries borrow more easily because they wouldn’t have to pay such high interest rates. But stable countries like Germany would likely see their rates rise.

Instead, Draghi suggested the eurozone should adopt rules that would require more budget discipline.

Minnesota stridently called Obama’s policies “unconstitutional” at the same tea party-backed forum on Labor Day. And Texas Gov. Rick Perry, the third member of his party’s top tier, told a separate town hall-style audience earlier in the day that he has a better record on jobs than the president.

The event was designed to probe the candidates on their views of spending, taxes and the Constitution — bedrock principles for the tea party activists whose rising clout is likely to shape the nominating process. thousands. The event at a General Motors Corp. parking lot in the shadow of the automaker’s headquarters building had the sound and feel of a campaign event, with the union audience breaking into chants of “Four More Years” throughout the president’s 25-minute speech.

Obama could be including himself in that call for action.

His remarks came as he’s facing biting criticism from the GOP for presiding over a persistently weak economy and high unemployment.

Bioscience success There was plenty of good news last week for those working to attract new bioscience firms to Lawrence.

ast week was a pretty good one for the Bioscience and Technology Business Center on Kansas University’s West Campus.

On Tuesday, a New Zealand-based pharmaceutical firm announced plans to lease a laboratory at the center and hire 27 scientists to work there within the next several years.

The firm, Argenta, said it would hire four employees in the first year and add about five more per year until it reached 27. The jobs are expected to carry an average annual salary of $74,000.

On Thursday, another bioscience company announced it also was leasing space in the center near Bob Billings Parkway and Wakarusa Drive. Gyrasol Technologies will bring two employees with it from Santa Fe, N.M., and already has hired two scientists who are KU graduates. The firm specializes in technologies that help predict which drugs will work best for cancer patients.

The addition of the two companies will bring the Bioscience and Technology Business Center to 75 percent of its capacity, according to the center’s The new executive director, companies Matt McClorey. “It’s further validation that validate a the model is worknumber of ing,” he said. strategies that Indeed. The new local economic companies validate a development number of strategies that local economic officials have officials hoped would help development have hoped would build the biosci- help build the bioscience industry in ence industry in Lawrence.

Lawrence.

Officials with Argenta, which specializes in animal health, reportedly didn’t even have Lawrence on their list when they came to this area to review sites closer to university veterinary schools in Manhattan and Columbia, Mo. Regional economic officials suggested that on the way through Lawrence, they at least stop and look at the new incubator center. The Argenta folks liked what they saw and decided they’d rather be close to KU’s pharmaceutical researchers than to the veterinary schools.

That choice not only confirms that Lawrence has a good facility to market, it shows that Lawrence and KU are in a good position to take advantage of the growing emphasis on animal health science in this region. The pharmaceutical research being done at KU is a good complement for animal science research being done at Kansas State University.

The Gyrasol move capitalizes on what local economic development officials long have thought would be a key strategy for bioscience development and that is the ties Lawrence has with the many stellar students who have graduated from KU. Gyrasol CEO Susan Burgess received her doctorate in pharmacology from KU in 1980 before leaving Lawrence to work in the pharmaceutical industry. However, she apparently took with her a high regard for KU’s students and researchers and perhaps some fond memories of Lawrence itself. When she was thinking of moving her firm from Santa Fe, she looked at San Diego and other locations, but Lawrence also was on her list. Her quote from the KU press release announcing the decision might be used on future business recruitment materials: “We were looking for a strong intellectual environment and a strong financial support system, and we found both in Kansas.

There’s so much upside to being here.”

The “financial support system” is no small part of these deals. The Lawrence-Douglas County Biosciences Authority, along with other community partners including the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce and Douglas County Development Inc., invested $225,000 in Gyrasol in the form of a loan that will be paid back as the company grows. Argenta is receiving about $400,000 in incentives from the Kansas Bioscience Authority and is seeking $10,500 from the city and county for training expenses over four years. That’s a pretty minor investment for the high-quality jobs the company will bring to Lawrence. City commissioners also have budgeted $500,000 for next year as seed money for what is expected to be a $7 million to $8 million expansion of the business and technology center.

Carefully targeted investments like these are key to attracting more bioscience firms.

Nationally, the competition for new bioscience companies is intense. Lawrence always has thought that KU and the city’s location in a growing bioscience corridor would help it stand up to that competition. Last week’s announcements certainly offer reason for optimism that that is the case.

GOP race likely will have twists, turns Presidential politics rises floodlike after Labor Day, and this month begins a Niagara of debates. Before long the airwaves of Des Moines, Iowa, and Manchester, N.H., will be full of appeals to voters and the papers will be full of poll figures.

One of those polls stuck out last week. It was the CNN weekly survey, and it showed that in less than three weeks, Gov. Rick Perry of Texas went from a statistical dead heat with Gov. Mitt Romney of Massachusetts to doubling Romney’s support, becoming the clear front-runner in the Republican race. That prompted a CNN commentary setting out a scenario for Campaign 2012 that would have been inconceivable on Independence Day: If it was January/February 2012, Romney would win New Hampshire’s primary, while Perry would win the Iowa and Nevada caucuses and would take the South Carolina primary. Perry would then go into Super Tuesday the front-runner and would likely secure enough delegates in those contests to be the nominee. There is plenty of campaign to go, but that is how this race looks from Labor Day 2011.

But here is what could happen between Labor Day and the Republican National Convention in Tampa 51 weeks from now:

Nothing This is not likely but possible.

The prognosis above is plausible.

Perry is strongly positioned to win the Iowa caucuses. He packs the evangelical and stylistic punch to prevail in a state that in the past quarter-century has seen abortion politics and social conservatism dominate the Republican debate.

If Perry does prevail in Iowa, he’s not likely to win in New Hampshire, the next contest. That’s be-

David Shribman dshribman@post-gazette.com

cause New Hampshire often acts as an antidote to Iowa; former Gov. Mike Huckabee of Arkansas was the GOP winner in Iowa four years ago but lost to Romney in New Hampshire, just as Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois was the Democratic winner in Iowa but lost New Hampshire to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York.

This pattern has historical roots. In 1988, Sen. Bob Dole of Kansas won Iowa but lost New Hampshire to Vice President George H.W. Bush. And all this is without considering how hostile the terrain of New Hampshire likely will be to Perry. The state has little religious-conservative fervor and, more important, invites independents (who are unlikely to be Perry supporters) to vote in its primary.

The rest of the CNN scenario could happen. Romney as a Mormon has a fighting chance in Nevada but not much of one in South Carolina, unless former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania and Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota remain in the race that long, dividing the social-conservative vote and providing a surprising sunny opening for Romney. If not, Perry could be home free.

He’s not one of those candidates who try to say what you think.

He says what he thinks, and that formula has worked for him.

Unlike Romney, who lost a Senate race to Edward M. Kennedy in Massachusetts and a presidential nomination fight to Sen. John McCain of Arizona, Perry has never lost an election.

Caveat: Though he defeated the popular Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison in a bruising gubernatorial primary last year, Perry hasn’t faced competition nearly as formidable as Romney has.

Perry’s campaign depends in unusual measure on his candor.

If he transforms it into charm, he could be on the way to the nomination. If he transforms it into recklessness, he could be roadkill.

Romney surges or endures Romney is more sure-footed than Perry and probably will continue to be better funded than his Texas rival. He won’t lose his temper or his focus.

The Republican Old Guard isn’t nearly as potent as it once was, but it doesn’t want Perry at the top of the ticket and will do everything it can to derail him.

The Republican instinct to pick the Next Guy isn’t nearly as strong as it once was, either, but Romney is indisputably the Next Guy and could be the man left standing after everyone else has run of money and the public has run out of patience.

Don’t count him out. The Don’t-Underestimate-Him candidate is said to be Perry, but Romney has a claim to the title as well; hardly anyone’s passionate about him, yet he’s still around. He wants it more than Perry, is more Perry stumbles disciplined and has prepared lonPart of the Texas governor’s ger and more deeply. Florida, the special appeal is his candor. first place where there is no natu-

ral advantage for any candidate, could be a crucial test. Romney is readier there in September than Perry will be in March.

Someone else emerges The hope that someone else may join the field dwindles with every day, though do not forget how late (March 16) Robert F. Kennedy joined the Democratic contest in 1968 -- and he very well might have won the nomination had he not been murdered.

The 2012 GOP nomination remains a glittery prize; it isn’t every day you can run against an incumbent whose disapproval rating is 60 percent (Zogby International) at a time when most likely voters say it’s time for someone new in the presidency (55 percent, Zogby) and when consumer confidence has hit a two-year low. A new entrant could change everything. Then again, maybe the new entrant already has entered. His name is Rick Perry.

Some event intercedes Mayor Joseph B. Harrington of Salem, Mass., was an America-First candidate in a special congressional election on Boston’s North Shore, a Democrat who had distanced himself from Franklin Roosevelt and proclaimed himself “100 percent opposed to President Roosevelt’s foreign policy.” He almost certainly would have won the seat but for one thing. The primary was on Dec. 16, 1941.

Events matter, and the unpredictable is, by definition, difficult to imagine. Perry is in a strong position on the eve of Labor Day. But CNN is right. There is plenty of campaign to go.

From the Lawrence Daily JournalWorld for Sept. 6, 1911: “Do you want to buy the post office in Lawrence? It is for sale. At any YEARS rate the city treasurer says it is and AGO he ought to know. The situation is IN 1911 just this. The government has gone to great expense to put up a fine building and has equipped it with every modern convenience.

But it has failed to pay its special improvement taxes. Therefore the county treasurer has the building on his list for sale. Do you want to buy this splendid new building? If so go to the county treasurer and get a tax deed for it.”

“William Brown, who was afflicted with heart failure last week, was reported to have had a second attack last night and to be in a critical condition. Mr. Brown is the janitor of the city hall.”

gives back $4.5 million, and it goes to the state Capitol restoration. Millions of dollars have been spent on that project. Costs have gone above and beyond the first cost estimates. What do the politicians want this time? Minklined toilet seats?

There is $180 million in reserve, plus $4.5 million from KU and supposedly $689,000 in arts funding. Maybe someday KPERS retirees will get the gold and not the shaft, which we have received for the last 20 years.

One thing about our elected officials. The problems exist and they have town meetings, which is a waste of time. They don’t care about someone else as long as they get theirs. There is a lot of talk but no action.

To the editor: Though I seldom agree with Charles Krauthammer on politics, I think he gave an apt assessment of the significance of the newly opened Martin Luther King Jr. memorial. (JournalWorld, Aug. 30) My view of the work would differ in only two areas: First of all, made in China by a Chinese artist would seem to make it more, not less, American considering our current balance of trade situation with China. We should also remember that Chinese workers built the western half of the Trans-America Railroad before settling on the West Coast and melding into the general population. The Chi-

King memorial

Accurate and fair news reporting. ! No mixing of editorial opinion with reporting of the news. ! Safeguarding the rights of all citizens regardless of race, creed or economic stature. ! Sympathy and understanding for all who are disadvantaged or oppressed. ! Exposure of any dishonesty in public affairs. ! Support of projects that make our community a better place to live. !

nese choice also would seem to be perfectly consistent with Dr. King’s tenet of transcending race and nation to develop a worldview.

The second point of difference has more to do with an oversight on the part of Krauthammer and other critics of the project than anything else. It seems to me that the single most unique and stunningly appropriate aspect of the work is the fact that it appears to be unfinished just as the work that was begun by Dr. King remains unfinished. As a nation and as individual Americans we are reminded that rising above the prejudices and hatred taught and inherited from previous generations remains a work in progress.

Ganglians at the Jackpot Tonight’s early show at the Jackpot Music Hall, 943 Mass., comes to us courtesy of Sacramento, Calif., band Ganglians. The band’s dreamy, loose rock music is an amalgamation of surf rock guitars, heavy voice modulation and the shout-speak singing that has permeated indie music.

But somehow despite or because of that, it works.

They are to sun-and-surf music what Black Lips are to ’60s garage rock. That is, underproduced, loose to the point of lazy, but still able to retain the base qualities of the genre that inspired them. An added bonus for all of you karaoke junkies, Ganglians are playing at 8 p.m., meaning it will still be possible for you to subject friends and complete strangers to “Kiss From A Rose” for the 1,000th time at 11 p.m. Tonight’s show is 18 and older.

Kansas State Fair recovers momentum lost after 9/11

HUTCHINSON (AP) — When terrorists hit the U.S. on Sept.

11, 2001, the Kansas State Fair was five days into its 10-day run in Hutchinson. When word of the attacks spread, officials discussed closing down the fair but decided just to cancel some events. Attendance and enthusiasm for the fair dropped dramatically.

“I remember it was a lot quieter after that,” said manager Denny Stoecklein, who was assistant manager in 2001. “There was a question at one point: ‘Do we go on?

Do we close the fair? What do we do?’”

With the 2011 fair set to open Friday, the event in Hutchinson has fully recovered since that devastating day, Stoecklein told The Wichita Eagle.

Crowd numbers, which dropped dramatically in 2001, have returned to pre-Sept. 11 sizes — and they’re climbing, he said.

Stoecklein said he hopes this year’s fair will continue to build on the momentum of the past two years.

The economic struggles of the past year have not hurt

the fair much, Stoecklein said, because families opted for the fair rather than longer, more expensive vacations.

The fair has planned several events and ceremonies mark the anniversary of the attacks. On Sept. 11, a ceremony at the Gottschalk Park gazebo will include a moment of remembrance, speakers and patriotic songs. At 7 p.m., the Hutchinson Symphony Orchestra will perform patriotic songs at Lake Talbott.

The fair also has invited an artist from Great Bend who uses 1-by-3-inch wooden blocks to build large replicas of the World Trade Center towers and the Pentagon.

The other serious business at this year’s fair will be at the Grandstand, where concertgoers will attend with fresh memories of the stage collapse at the Indiana State Fair last month, which killed seven fans and injured 40.

Stoecklein said he has met with stage contractors, meteorologists and emergency management personnel to ensure nothing similar happens at the Kansas State Fair.

America’s favorite teacher Brandi Crum Turner, Perry, left, nominated Leslie Campbell, Lawrence, center, for Run & Hug’s America’s Favorite Teacher Contest.

Leslie received more than 47,000 votes and won a trip for herself, Brandi and two guests to New York City.

Their trip was from July 29 to Aug. 3 and their guests were their daughters, Jaedin Turner, 7, Perry, front center, and Sally Campbell, Lawrence, right. Leslie was Brandi’s second-grade teacher. They are both now librarians. Sally submitted the photo.

Big 12 coaches all over the map

KANSAS BASKETBALL

Young gun

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Kansas will stay in BCS The last time conference realignment threatened to blow up the Big 12, a move to the Big East for four schools, including Kansas University, came closer than most realize, according to an insider with strong ties to one of the conferences.

The plan called for the Big East basketball tournament remaining at Madison Square Garden in New York and the football championship game alternating between Giants Stadium in New Jersey and Arrowhead Stadium.

Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State and Missouri would have headed to the Big East, forming a 12-team football league.

The Big 12 stayed together, and the Big East added TCU, bringing to nine the number of football schools it will field in 2012. It would rather have 12.

That’s why Kansas and Missouri need not worry about getting left out of the BCS musicalchairs game, with the Big East being a nice fall-back position.

The New York Post reported that the Big East already has extended an offer to KU, K-State and MU. Iowa State will have to look for another home, probably not a BCS one.

Yet, before KU and Mizzou head east, the rivals might want to take one last shot at heading north, each school lobbying hard for the other, trying to sell the Big Ten on the value of locking up the college-intense Kansas City market. Missouri alone doesn’t bring enough of Kansas City to warrant an invitation without KU, which has a stronger KC presence. Illinois and Missouri would give the Big Ten nice penetration in St. Louis, but that’s more of a pro market.

The problem: Kansas and Missouri bring one new TV market and don’t have stadiums large enough to make the Big Ten members interested in sharing revenue equally.

The Big Ten is the least likely destination, ranking behind the Big East and Pac-12. ESPN Radio reported that Texas turned down the Pac-12. That might make that conference interested in adding Kansas and Missouri along with soon-to-benew members Oklahoma and Oklahoma State.

Here’s how the divisions would look in a Pac-16, grouped by travel partners: West: UCLA and USC, Cal-Berkeley and Stanford, Oregon and Oregon State, Washington and Washington State. East: Arizona and Arizona State, Colorado and Utah, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State, Kansas and Missouri.

The Big East football divisions, with three new members from the Big 12, likely would shape up this way: East: Connecticut, Rutgers, South Florida, Syracuse, Pittsburgh and West Virginia. West: Cincinnati, Kansas, Kansas State, Louisville, Missouri and TCU. With just one Texas school in the Big East, recruiting football players from Texas becomes tougher for KU. Should Kansas land in the Pac-16, non-revenue sports likely would play games against teams from their own division and might not face the others until the postseason tournament in order to reduce travel time and costs.

Realignment rules teleconference talk

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Most years, the opening weekend of a new college football season would’ve dominated the talk at the weekly Big 12 football coaches teleconference.

But that was not the case Monday.

Conference realignment was the hot topic, and the Big 12 coaches offered a glimpse into just how messed up this whole thing really is.

In a span of less than 30 minutes, five coaches chimed in with different viewpoints on the situation that threatens the existence of the Big 12 for the second time in 15 months.

Some, such How it as Kansas University coach all shakes Turner Gill, out, I don’t talked with c o n f i d e n c e know, but about the I do have bright future confidence of the league.

“I’m not too that there c o n c e r n e d will be a Big about it,” Gill 12 Confersaid. “I have ence.” faith in our commissioner and faith in — Kansas coach our presidents Turner Gill and chancellors here at our institutions. I believe the Big 12 Conference will be standing strong at some point in time.

How it all shakes out, I don’t know, but I do have confidence that there will be a Big 12 Conference.”

Others, such as Oklahoma’s Bob Stoops, answered the question of OU’s place in all this without mentioning the Big 12, no doubt a bad sign for conference aficionados.

“I’m for whatever our president and athletic director feel is best for the University of Oklahoma,” Stoops said. “As long as we get to play, I’ll go play wherever they tell me I need to go play. I’ve got great faith in them, so for me to say what I prefer wouldn’t be at all right to do.”

One problem. Last year, when all of this was happening to the Big 12, right before Colorado and Nebraska bolted, Stoops had a lot to say.

He talked openly about the conference’s future, its ability to add new teams, if desired, and Oklahoma’s place in the puzzle.

He said he saw how Oklahoma would “be pretty attractive” to any conference, given the Sooners’ TV draw, BCS track record and seasonal sellouts at their 80,000-plus-seat football stadium.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY FRESHMAN FORWARD MERV LINDSAY says he can shoot NBA-range three-pointers despite his 6-foot-7 frame. No less an authority than Marcus Morris concurs.

Lindsay billed as ‘pure shooter’

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Lefty Merv Lindsay is developing a reputation as somebody who can stretch the defense.

“He can really shoot the ball. He is a pure shooter, and he’s 6-foot-7, 6-8,” marveled former Kansas University forward/first-round NBA draft pick Marcus Morris, who has guarded Lindsay, a 6-7, 210-pound freshman, in pick-up games since the Moreno, Calif., native signed a financial-aid agreement with KU on June 22.

“He’s going to be good. He’s going to be great,” Morris added of Lindsay, who averaged 15.0 points, 10.2 rebounds and 4.4 assists his senior season at Canyon Springs High School.

Lindsay — who chose KU over Marquette in recruiting after decommitting from Texas Tech in April — admits he isn’t shy about firing away.

“I think that’s why they recruited me ... so I can hit shots,” Lindsay said.

Acknowledging that he “can shoot out to NBA range,” Lindsay

said his long-range bombing has improved in recent years.

“I developed it. It takes a lot of work,” he said. “Being left-handed ... a lot of people have said to me, ‘Oh yeah, left-handed people can always shoot. They are good hitters in baseball, too.’ I played baseball. I was a good hitter and a good shooter.

“It took work, though,” added Lindsay, who now is concentrating on his ball-handling and defense.

Chiefs banged up heading into opener

By Dave Skretta Associated Press Sports Writer

BILLS VS. CHIEFS When: noon Sunday Where: Kansas City, Mo. Line: Chiefs by 31⁄2

KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — Chiefs coach Todd Haley still believes in his unique approach to training camp, even after losing tight end Tony Moeaki to a season-ending knee injury and watching Matt Cassel leave Kansas City’s preseason finale because of banged-up ribs.

Cassel was a full participant

in practice Monday, but Haley refused to discuss his status for Sunday’s regular-season opener against Buffalo. The Pro Bowl quarterback left in the second quarter Thursday night after getting sacked by 340-pound Packers defensive tackle Howard Green.

“He was out there practicing,” Haley said. “It was our first real game-plan day, so always some kinks to work through, but

I thought we had a productive day across the board.”

Most coaches prefer to rest their starters after one or two series in their final preseason game to guard against injuries.

Haley took a different tack after the lockout turned training camp upside down, playing his regulars sparingly the first three games in an attempt to get them into proper condition.

Haley then turned them loose

into the fourth quarter against the Packers.

“I don’t know that there’s a training camp you go through without injuries,” Haley said.

“Injuries are an unfortunate part of it, but if you’re asking if that’s why guys got hurt, no, in my opinion.”

Players routinely grit their teeth through rib injuries, but

Top American Fish loses at US Open

By Howard Fendrich Associated Press Tennis Writer

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mardy Fish found himself dealing with all sorts of problems as he tried to reach the U.S. Open quarterfinals for the second time.

There was the brief flap with his opponent, 11th-seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, and the chair umpire over some distracting cheering in the stands.

There were the aching right hip and hamstring that left Fish flat on his back, getting massaged by a trainer before the fifth set.

There was the pressure of knowing that he was, for the first time, the highest-ranked American at the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grand Slam tennis tournament.

There was the whipping wind that sent shots this way and that.

And then, of course, there was

Tsonga, the big-hitting, athletic Frenchman, who feels more confident than ever â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and it shows.

The eighth-seeded Fish wasted a lead and lost the fourth-round match at Flushing Meadows 6-4, 6-7 (5), 3-6, 6-4, 6-2 on Monday night, bringing what he saw as a premature end to what he hoped would be a run to a major semifinal.

T s o n g a reached his first U.S. Open quarterfinal, but unlike Fish, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fish already tasted this sort of success. Tsonga made it to the final of the 2008 Australian Open before losing to Novak Djokovic, and got to the Wimbledon semifinals this year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; where he again lost to Djokovic â&#x20AC;&#x201D; by

Sporting KC earns draw with Galaxy

By Dave Skretta Associated Press Sports Writer

KANSAS CITY, KAN. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Aurelien Collin thought he had given Sporting Kansas City a hard-earned draw with the hottest team in Major League Soccer. Omar Bravo ultimately did it.

Bravo scored on a penalty kick in the second minute of stoppage time, just a few minutes after Collinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal was disallowed by the referees, and Sporting Kansas City walked away with a 2-2 tie with the Los Angeles Galaxy on Monday night before a record crowd at Livestrong Sporting Park.

Bravo earned the penalty kick when Frankie Hejduk was called for a handball in the box.

He got Galaxy goalkeeper Josh Saunders diving to his right and deftly punched the ball into the open net. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was a little bit unlucky, to be honest,â&#x20AC;? Hejduk said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like I was trying to do a handball.â&#x20AC;?

The equalizer came after David Beckham got a yellow card for arguing the spot of the kick.

Collin appeared to tie the game when he leaped into the air and headed home a pass from just in front of the Galaxy net. Collin took off in a sprint to celebrate the goal and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize it had been disallowed until the crowd started booing. The referees had ruled him offside.

The late drama overshadowed a stellar game by Sean Franklin, who scored both goals for the Galaxy (14-3-10). Julio Cesar had the other goal for Sporting Kansas City (9-8-10).

It was a testy affair between teams fighting for playoff positioning.

Landon Donovan, who came on as a second-half substitute, Hejduk and Beckham were shown yellow cards for the Western Division-leading Galaxy. Roger Espinoza, Graham Zusi and Collin each received a yellow card for Sporting Kansas City, which remains second in the Eastern Division.

stunning Roger Federer after dropping the first two sets of their quarterfinal.

There will be a Grand Slam rematch in New York, because Tsonga next plays 16-time major champion Federer, who defeated Juan Monaco, 6-1, 6-2, 6-0.

Djokovic, meanwhile, extended his 2011 record to 61-2 by beating No. 22 Alexandr Dolgopolov of Ukraine 7-6 (14), 6-4, 6-2. Their 16-14 tiebreaker in the first set lasted nearly a half-hour all on its own, with Djokovic saving four set points and finally converting his sixth when Dolgopolov pushed a forehand long to close a 13-stroke exchange.

Pretty much everyone who played Monday complained about the wind, which gusted at up to 20 mph and kept changing directions, making even serve tosses difficult.

WEDNESDAY â&#x20AC;˘ Girls tennis, 3:30 p.m., at Lawrence High â&#x20AC;˘ Girls soccer, 3 p.m., at Shawnee Mission South Invite

Serena Williams handled those conditions much better than former No. 1 and 2008 French Open champion Ana Ivanovic and beat her 6-3, 6-4 to return to a Grand Slam quarterfinal for the first time in 14 months.

No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki, trailed by a set and 4-1 in the second before coming back to beat 2004 champion Svetlana Kuznetsova 6-7 (6), 7-5, 6-1 at night.

Wozniacki turned things around thanks to a combination of her own increasingly aggressive play and Kuznetsovaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s increased mistakes. Kuznetsovaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 40-20 edge in winners was rendered meaningless by her 78 unforced errors, 52 more than Wozniacki.

The 21-year-old Wozniacki, the 2009 runner-up at the U.S. Open, is still seeking her first Grand Slam title.

Woodland falls, Simpson wins Deutsche Bank NORTON, MASS. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Webb Simpson finished off an amazing comeback with three clutch birdies, the final one on the second extra playoff hole Monday in the Deutsche Bank Championship for his second win in three weeks.

On a day filled with big crowds and big moments appropriate to the FedEx Cup playoffs, Simpson delivered a stunning conclusion on the TPC Boston.

He looked as if he would be the runner-up until knocking in a 30-foot birdie putt on the par-5 18th hole for a 6-under 65. That put him into a playoff when Chez Reavie, who had birdied the toughest holes on the back nine and made bogey on the easiest hole on the course at No. 18 for a 66. They finished regulation at 15-under 269.

On the 18th hole in the playoff, Simpson again looked to be out of luck when Reavie chipped to tap-in range for birdie. But Simpson rolled in a 15-foot putt to keep the playoff going, and then won with an eight-foot putt on the 17th hole.

Simpson won his first PGA Tour title three weeks ago at the Wyndham Championship, putting him in good shape for the FedEx Cup playoffs and the chase for a $10 million prize.

Now, he goes to No. 1 in the standings and is assured of being among the top five when the FedEx Cup concludes at the Tour Championship at the end of the month.

Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland had a rough day Monday after coming within two of the leader this weekend. Woodland shot a 3-over 74 Monday and slipped from seventh into a tie for 25th place.

Peyton Manning might sit INDIANAPOLIS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The unthinkable suddenly seems possible in Indianapolis â&#x20AC;&#x201D; opening the season without Peyton Manning.

The four-time league-MVP who has never missed a start in his NFL career is doubtful for Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game at Houston because of lingering soreness in his back following offseason neck surgery. If Manning sits, it would be the first time the NFLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s active iron man missed a meaningful game after 227 consecutive starts including the playoffs.

The question is whether the Colts can survive without their franchise quarterback, whose streak stands second in NFL history to Brett Favreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s among all QBs. Team officials have not said how much longer it could take Manning to recover, leaving that decision to Manning and his doctors.

No additional surgery has been scheduled.

MLB

Strasburg set to debut today WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Stephen Strasburg makes his Washington Nationals return today â&#x20AC;&#x201D; weather permitting.

The 23-year-old right-hander is set to make his first major-league start since having Tommy John surgery a year ago.

However, the forecast calls for a 90 percent chance of rain, and even a delay would probably scuttle the plans and disappoint what is expected to be a sellout crowd.

Chiefs pick up Ex-Pats tackle Race rescheduled for today KANSAS CITY, MO. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Kansas City Chiefs claimed offensive tackle Steve Maneri off waivers from the New England Patriots and released veteran tight end Anthony Becht.

The Chiefs announced the moves Monday.

Maneri spent 13 games on the Patriotsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; practice squad last season and was inactive for the other three games. He went to training camp with New England this season.

The Chiefs are thin along the offensive line.

They had only seven on their 53-man roster and three others on their practice squad.

Becht has played 158 games in the NFL with the Jets, Buccaneers, Rams and Cardinals. He was out of football last season before the Chiefs signed him in August.

HAMPTON, GA. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The remnants from Tropical Storm Lee are pushing through the Atlanta area with drenching rain and high wind.

NASCAR only hopes the miserable weather is gone by today.

The Sprint Cup race at Atlanta Motor Speedway was postponed Sunday night when outer bands of the storm doused the track before the drivers could even start their engines.

Given the gloomy forecast, officials didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even bother trying to hold the race Monday.

That turned out to be a good call. Most of Georgia is under tornado and flood watches.

The outlook for todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10 a.m. start is much better, though thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still a 30 percent chance of additional showers.

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Royals score five late, beat A’s 11-6 The Associated Press

American League Royals 11, Athletics 6 OAKLAND, CALIF. — Billy Butler homered twice and drove in three runs, Alex Gordon doubled home the go-ahead run, and Kansas City scored five times in the ninth inning.

Jeff Francoeur, Eric Hosmer and Mike Moustakas had two RBIs apiece, and Melky Cabrera also drove in a run for the Royals, who avoided being mathematically eliminated for at least one more day.

Greg Holland (4-1) pitched a scoreless eighth to get the victory.

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

Nation’s top passers to meet in Stillwater ————

Arizona’s Foles, OSU’s Weeden paired in Thursday night shootout STILLWATER, OKLA. (AP) — Sure, Oklahoma State’s Brandon Weeden wants to outplay fellow quarterback and NFL prospect Nick Foles of Arizona this week.

That’s because the quarterback that plays better usually wins the game.

“You want to be the best quarterback on the field.

Whether that’s throwing the ball 20 times or 50 times or however many yards, it doesn’t matter. I think as a quarterback, at the end of the day, you just look at that W or that L,” Weeden said Monday, his background as a former minor-league pitcher showing through.

Weeden and Foles were among the participants at the Manning Camp for elite quarterbacks this offseason.

While getting tips on what to expect as they work toward the NFL draft, they spent some time making small talk and discussing the oddity that teams from different conferences will play twice in a nine-month span.

Oklahoma State beat Arizona 36-10 in the Alamo Bowl in December, with Weeden throwing for 240 yards and

two touchdowns. Foles had 280 yards and one TD pass, but also threw three interceptions.

The rematch is a Thursday night showcase.

“We’ll say, ‘What’s up?’ to each other before and after the game, and I want him to play well,” Weeden said.

“I just want to score more points than they do.”

In Week 1 of the college football season, no quarterback threw for more yards than Foles. He had 412 on 34for-42 passing with a careerhigh five touchdowns and no picks against Northern Arizona. Weeden was 24-of-39 for 388 yards, with three TDs and three interceptions.

“Everybody is going to have to play well in the secondary,” Wildcats coach Mike Stoops said. “This quarterback is a big-time player and a big-time thrower of the football, so your precision needs to be even better than it was a week ago.”

Weeden classified the two seniors as similar players who run similar offenses.

“He’s a lot like me. He’s a bigger, taller guy that’s not real, real mobile,” said

Big 12

and that’s not the case for everybody.”

K-State coach Bill Snyder echoed similar thoughts, though not with the same confidence as Brown.

“Just understand that Kansas State will persevere through whatever takes place,” Snyder said. “Whatever it is, we will still land on our feet and be stronger because of it. We can’t afford to get caught up in the politics of what’s taking place in our conference.”

It’s not so much that they can’t afford to, it’s that they may not be asked to. This time around, the decisions are being made by presidents and chancellors. Even the league’s athletic directors have found their voices weakened in this round of realignment talk. With that in mind, Texas Tech coach Tommy Tuberville spoke out about the need for leadership.

“I think we need to get a grip on everything,” Tuberville said. “Obviously, in our league with people leaving and thinking about leaving, there’s going to have to be some tough

Running a group effort While realignment talk dominated Monday’s call, there was some football tossed around. Asked who deserved the credit for KU’s solid showing on the ground during Saturday’s 42-24 victory against McNeese State, Gill handed out gold stars to several positions.

“Our offensive line controlled the line of scrimmage like we wanted them to,” Gill said. “So it was great to have that, but also our tight ends and our receivers, they were physical. We really believe we have very talented running backs. We have three or four guys who are going to help our football team be successful.”

“As he plays more, he’ll understand how much quicker it has to be. It’s a good jumper.

“He’s been working on his ball-handling a lot. He’s learned how to put the ball on the floor more now. He’s a catch-and-shoot player who will go get a couple of rebounds here and there. He can guard a little bit. He has to get better at it, but everybody has to get better as each day passes.”

Lindsay has fit in well at KU. “I’d say the only downfall for me for Kansas right now is the weather. I am used to the ‘Cali breeze,’ but I’ll get used to it,” said Lindsay, happy to see a long stretch of upper 90s, low 100 degree temperature days finally dip into the 80s.

After the second session of summer school concluded, he headed to the West Coast for a short break and some heat relief.

“I went home a week. I couldn’t wait to get back. I could not wait,” exclaimed the easy-going Lindsay, downright giddy about being a Jayhawk.

“Everybody is so close here.

Here everybody is one big family. Everybody has determination. Talking to Tyshawn (Taylor, senior guard) ... he is saying how people are doubting us. We are going to do everything to win the Big 12 again and make a push (in NCAA Tournament). That’s what we are working for.”

Merv said his main motivation is to make his 22-yearold sister, Ashley, proud.

Ashley played basketball at the University of Albany, but her career was cut short.

“She was good. She lost her touch a little bit riddled by injury,” Merv said, noting “she had hairline fractures in

her leg, surgery on her ankle.

That shut her back a bit. She didn’t play her fourth year due to injury. She graduated from there, though.

“That’s who I mostly play for now. I play for my sister. I feel she had a chance to make it, but the injuries ... now that she didn’t make it I feel I owe it to her to make it.”

That’s in the classroom as well as on the court.

Merv Lindsay had a perfect 4.0 grade-point average in high school.

“My parents always said, ‘If you don’t have the grades, you are not playing.’ So I think that just carried over into high school, and now it’s carrying over into college,” Lindsay said. “I enjoy going to class and enjoy playing basketball.”

He has enjoyed bonding with his new teammates.

Who has impressed him the most?

“Oh, Tyshawn, T-Rob, but I would say I love playing with Naadir Tharpe. He is so smart. I’d say he’s one of the smartest players on the team even coming in being a freshman,” Lindsay said of the point guard. “Just the way he passes. He sees stuff that nobody else can see. Every time he makes it, everybody is like, ‘Wow.’ He is good. I think he’s going to be a surprise.”

Three freshmen — Braeden Anderson, Ben McLemore and Jamari Traylor — have not yet reported to campus as they await word on their eligibility from the NCAA Clearinghouse, which figures to come soon since school is opening its third week today.

“I can’t wait for them to get back. Those are my boys,” Lindsay said. “I talk to them every day. It will be great to see them again.”

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

Stoops’ relative silence this time around seems to be a bad sign for the league.

He did make one final, telling statement before hanging up.

“It seems (super conferences are where) the world is going,” he said. “So be it.”

While the Big 12’s football coaches sounded like a group divided Monday, several at least agreed that they were surprised to see the league again facing such an ordeal so quickly.

“I did not think it would come up again,” Texas coach Mack Brown said. “I thought it was over for at least 10 years. We were told last year we could join any league in the country if we wanted to.

We’ve been told we could go independent, so there’s going to be something really good for Texas at the end of this. Our school will be OK regardless of what happens,

Lindsay CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

He’s learning a lot through the grind of daily pick-up basketball.

“It’s an adjustment ... just how hard they play in college,” Lindsay said. “It’s a lot of in-depth detail what they do here. I remember the first day of individuals (workouts). I’m still trying to learn all the footwork.

Going against them (KU returnees) physically ... they are so strong. That’s why I’ve been really reaching out to (strength coach Andrea) Hudy. We’ve been working out and trying to build my upper body so I can hang with these guys.

“If you are banging with TRob, you are going to feel like you’ve got no muscle,” Lindsay said of 6-9, 237-pound junior Thomas Robinson.

Lindsay said he reported for second session of summer school at 193 pounds. He now weighs 210 and wants to be 220 by opening day.

His weight-gaining success secret?

“Lifting and drinking protein (shakes) and, obviously, eating,” Lindsay said.

Playing at this current weight apparently hasn’t affected his touch on deep jumpers.

“He’s a great shooter, one of the best shooters on the team,” said Lindsay’s teammate/ roommate Kevin Young, a 6-8 forward out of Perris, Calif., who played AAU basketball with Lindsay for Inland Empire out of California.

“It can be quicker,” Young added of Lindsay’s release.

There’s a good chance that whoever has the better game head-to-head will end up leading the nation in passing after two weeks.

“I don’t look at it like that.

I want to do it just because I want to put our team in a betAP Photos ter position to win,” Weeden said. “You always want to ARIZONA’S NICK FOLES, LEFT, AND OKLAHOMA STATE’S be the best quarterback on Brandon Weeden rank 1-2 among the nation’s quarterthe field. ...

decisions made. We just need somebody to step out in front and help make all of these decisions. As coaches, we worry more about the games because we have little say-so in terms of conference alignment and goings and comings. I’m more concerned for college football as a whole as anything else in the times we are in right now.”

want to throw for more yards than Nick. I just want to have a better night and hopefully win the game.”

Just because Weeden’s team got the better of Foles’ Wildcats in December doesn’t mean it’ll happen again. Safety Markelle Martin, who returned an interception for a touchdown in the Alamo Bowl, said Foles looks “fresher” early this season and delivered a couple passes against Northern Arizona that were impossible to defend.

“Just where he’s placing the ball, you can tell the difference,” Martin said.

Oklahoma State defensive coordinator Bill Young called Foles “one of the better ones in the country.”

“He’s played in a lot of games, so any time you compete against a quarterback that’s got a number of games of experience, you’re always concerned about that,” Cowboys coach Mike Gundy said. “But he throws the ball well, he’s been accurate and throws the deep ball well. He’s got nice touch, he lays it up and lets them go get it.”

Chiefs CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

anything that slows Cassel the least bit could be devastating for a Chiefs offense that relies heavily on his decision making.

Kansas City lost 31-0 to the San Diego Chargers last season in its only game without him under center, gaining just 67 yards of total offense. And the Chiefs fell 38-24 to the Baltimore Ravens in their 2009 opener, which Cassel missed with a knee injury. Brodie Croyle started that game.

“We were just being cautious,” Cassel said after the Packers game, adding he just got the wind knocked out of him and that he may have landed on the ball. “I wanted to go back in.”

Instead, journeyman Tyler Palko and fifth-round draft pick Ricky Stanzi finished the game.

Palko earned the No. 2 job during training camp and would be first off the bench, but neither backup has much experience. Palko was signed by the New Orleans Saints as an undrafted free agent in 2007, bounced around Arizona and Pittsburgh, and finally ended up with Kansas City, where he went 4-for-6 for 35 yards while playing late in a pair of lopsided losses last season.

“Matt’s the starter, so I mean, we’re full speed ahead right now with Matt,” Palko said. “If my number is called upon, I have to be ready to go, which I will be. Just see how it goes.”

Fullback Le’Ron McClain believes Cassel will be ready to go Sunday.

“He’ll be ready,” McClain said.

There’s no shame in telling family of troubles Annie’s Mailbox

celebrating the civil union of one of our cousins and her same-sex partner. My mother showed me the wedding card that she purchased for the occasion, which pictured the hands of a man and a woman. I questioned her about the card, and she said that the clerk in the store where she bought it told her it was appropriate.

The clerk said that where two women formed a partnership, one of them would take on the anniesmailbox@comcast.net role of “the man.”

I am sure that our cousin’s wits’ end. — Sinking Fast partner is not a transsexual, Dear Sinking: Most parand both would be offended if ents would feel terrible if we called one of them a man. they were kept in the dark about a problem they could alleviate. In the meantime, your husband should check with his doctor’s office to see if they can offer assistance, and you can call the Information and Referral Service at 2-1-1 and explain the problem.

It is also often possible to find free or reduced rates for medication directly through the drug manufacturers. Check their websites.

‘Sons of Anarchy’ good, could be better Even the best shows tend toward cliche after awhile. “Sons of Anarchy” (9 p.m., FX) enters its fourth season with an episode that could be summarized as, “There’s a new sheriff in town.”

OK, that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but not much. Before the opening credits, we see the gang members assembling for their final day in prison and their defiant ride back to their not-so-aptly named town of Charming. They’re met not with a welcome wagon, but with a show of force from Eli Roosevelt (Rockmond Dunbar), the new lawman brought to town because of his reputation for honesty and gangbusting.

On the ride home, Clay (Ron Perlman) spots a disturbing sign of gentrification in the billboards for Charming Heights, an expensive new subdivision that he vows “will never happen.” Can we expect Clay and the rest of the biker gang to start attending zoning board meetings?

And those aren’t the only changes since the gang spent time in the stir. A convoluted gun-running arrangement involving Russian mobsters and Irish terrorists seems distinctly disadvantageous. And as we’ve come to learn from “The Godfather” and “The Sopranos,” nothing irks a gangster more than a bad business deal with fellow gangsters. ‘‘Sons” remains a beautifully produced affair filled with solid performances, particularly from Perlman and Katey Sagal, whose biker matriarch role has long since eclipsed memories of “Married With Children.”

Given a strong cast, one would hope there’d be more opportunities for memorable performances. But actual dramatic scenes seem all too rare. Like many operatic crime dramas, “Sons” suffers from a case of runaway musical montage-itis.

The episode opens and closes with largely silent scenes set to moody songs, taking up about 15 minutes of a 44-minute drama. That doesn’t leave a lot of time for character development.

The women’s clinic is attacked on the season finale of “Combat Hospital” (9 p.m., ABC).

Tonight’s other highlights

U.S. Open tennis (6 p.m., ESPN2).

Two guys (Anthony Hopkins and Alec Baldwin), a girl (Elle Macpherson) and a bear loom large in the 1997 thriller “The Edge” (6:30 p.m., Fox Movie Channel).

Michael Grimm performs on “America’s Got Talent” (8 p.m., NBC) as the 10 finalists compete.

A sad and sudden departure on “Glee” (7 p.m., Fox).

Spunky twins scheme to reunite their divorced parents (Dennis Quaid and Natasha Richardson) in the 1998 remake of “The Parent Trap” (7 p.m., ABC Family).

Starring Lindsay Lohan, before the fall.

“Take the Money and Run” (8 p.m., ABC) ends its first season.

On two episodes of “NCIS: Los Angeles” (CBS): traffickers (8 p.m.), hostage takers (9 p.m.).

“Frontline” (8 p.m., PBS) presents “Top Secret America,” a survey of the clandestine agencies, both public and private, that have arisen in the aftermath of 9/11.

Activists face charges of domestic terrorism in the documentary “Better This World” on “POV” (9 p.m., PBS).

Am I wrong, or should my mother find another wedding card? — Straight in Canada Dear Canada: Many gay couples might find this card insensitive. Since you believe your cousin and her partner would be unhappy with it, please suggest that Mom save this one for a different wedding and find another card that is specifically for gay couples or is gender neutral.

It shouldn’t be difficult.

Dear Annie: My husband has had several chronic illnesses during the past 20 years. He takes 15 different prescription medications a day and has frequent doctor visits and testing. Our medical bills are through the roof.

When credit card interest rates went up, we were unable to meet our monthly bills. We have cut out all extras, but we are still having major difficulties. Both of us have full-time jobs, and I work as much overtime as possible, but we are sinking.

Bankruptcy is not an option because it won’t leave us enough money to buy my husband’s medicines, and we earn too much to qualify for government assistance.

Last Christmas, we were unable to buy our teenage son a gift, but still made sure to get something for my husband’s nieces and nephews because he refuses to tell his family of our problems.

His parents are well off, and I have suggested to my husband that he ask them for some help, but he won’t hear of it. My parents are deceased, and my siblings have similar money problems.

I know his parents read your column. Maybe they will see this and offer some help without questions because my husband is too prideful to ask. I am at my
