And the native Kansas species, Centruroides vittatus, also known as the striped bark scorpion, is most likely to venture inside in Kansas from August to October.

Usually nocturnal, they’re commonly found under rocks and various dead vegetation, and in residences. Page 12B LAWRENCE

t is 1932 and, gee willikers, a bank robber can’t catch a break these days.

Almost 5,000 banks — really, 5,000 banks — have closed as a result of this Great Depression. It is tough to even find a bank worth robbing. But a novice — a malcontent straight out of the hoosegow — decides to get into the business anyway.

Clyde Barrow reads a newspaper article about how a bank had been hit for big money up in Minnesota. Up north must be where the money’s at.

Barrow and two other fellows — Ralph Fults and Raymond Hamilton — take out from Texas to the tiny Minnesota town of Okabena.

But holy hootenanny, there’s snow up there.

And ice. You try driving a getaway car in that muck.

But the fellows remember driving through a Kansas town that looked to actually have a prosperous bank. What was its name?

Yeah. Lawrence.

More than 2,500 cyclists converged on Lawrence on Saturday as the city welcomed the riders at the midpoint of the Bike MS Ride to benefit people with multiple sclerosis.

Tara Duerr, spokeswoman for the Mid America chapter of the National MS Society, said her organization raises funds to support people with MS in western Missouri and all of Kansas.

Lawrence welcomed the cyclists by closing a portion of Massachusetts Street and setting up food and beer vendors, bounce houses for children and live music in South Park.

This year marked the first time the cyclists stopped overnight in Lawrence. For the last 20 years, the ride stopped overnight in Sedalia, Mo. “We’re excited to be here,” Duerr said. “It’s our first year in Lawrence, and so far it’s been great. ...

We hope to come back again for many, many years.”

The event helped boost the local economy, as cyclists flocked to local hotel rooms to stay the night.

“We think this is a perfect ending to the day,” said Jennifer Boone, a

Tonganoxie resident who rode in from Olathe with her father and her husband. “We love Lawrence.”

That “we” applied to her husband, as her father, Richard Allain, of Otterville, Mo., hadn’t been to the city before.

Allain had ridden in previous rides, but for Boone and her husband, this was the first time.

“We got rained on pretty hard, but that’s when you’ve got to hunker down and bite the bullet,” Allain said, shortly after arriving about 2:30 p.m. “We got out of it.”

The ride had two starting points , at Garmin’s headquarters in Olathe, and a second in Topeka. All the riders will head back to Olathe today.

Dave Snuffer, a Kansas City, Mo., resident, was riding on a team called “The Feisty Devils,” many of whom sported devil horns on their helmets as they rode. Snuffer said he enjoyed being able to participate in the event and raise money for the cause, as multiple sclerosis — a “devastating disease,” he said — affects two of his friends.

“Our chapter actually serves 8,000 people in our area that have multiple sclerosis,” Duerr said.

“And 40,000 people are affected by the disease, which means family and friends and co-workers.”

Registry compliance varies among state’s counties

Thousands of cyclists on MS ride stop in town

By Andy Hyland

The state of Kansas and county sheriff’s offices keep pretty close tabs on the more than 4,500 registered sex offenders in Kansas. Only 8 percent of registered sex offenders currently are not complying with registration requirements, which include verifying home addresses four times a year.

But when a sex offender moves out of state, it’s a different story.

A Journal-World investigation identified 161 registered sex offenders who have moved out of Kansas since 2006, but who do not show up on offender registries in the states they moved to.

For instance, in 2001, Curtis Mongold was convicted in Douglas County of sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl who has cerebral palsy. In addition to serving three years in prison, Mongold received a lifetime requirement to register as a sex offender.

In January, Mongold notified Kansas authorities that he was moving to California, where he’d have to register. But there is no record of Mongold in California where he is supposed to be registered, according to the National Sex Offender Public Website, which collects registry information from all 50 states.

Kyle Smith, deputy director of the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, said that

“We’re expecting about $1.8 million,” she said. “It’s a big fundraiser for us.”

The money goes to local programs and services, including financial aid, scholarships and selfhelp groups.

Michelle McMillin is on a first-name basis with most of the registered sex offenders in Saline County. McMillin, registry specialist with the Saline County Sheriff’s Office, is responsible for keeping an eye on the county’s 140 sex offenders legally required to register and check in four times per year.

“It’s kind of a one-on-one relationship,” said McMillin, who makes preemptive phone calls and sends deputies out to remind offenders that they need to check in with the office. Offenders late on their registration, which is a felony offense, might even get a visit from a deputy at their place of employment.

McMillin said the office takes a proactive approach with the registry, as opposed to arresting an offender after a violation.

“It just seems like time better spent,” she said.

Looking at the numbers, McMillin’s efforts to keep sex offenders compliant have paid off.

Statewide, about 92 percent of sex offenders comply with registration requirements, but Saline County’s rate is above 99 percent, as only one of its 140 Please see REGISTRY, page 2A

Dorothy Eleanor Blair Dorothy Eleanor Blair died on Monday, September 12, 2011 in her home in Lawrence. She was born December 1, 1911 in Hanford, CA, to Thomas and Martha Lane. Her early childhood was spent in Cripple Creek, CO, until the family moved to Tyrone, PA. Here she attended Tyrone High School and graduated in 1930.

In 1934 she married her high school sweetheart, Lewis B. Blair. The couple settled in Cheverly, MD, where they raised their family. Lewis died in 1979, parting their 45 year marriage.

Dorothy is survived by her son, Thomas Lane Blair and daughterin-law, Alice Blair of Potomac, MD; and her daughter, Barbara Clark and son-in-law, David Clark of Lawrence, KS. She also is survived by

three loving grandchildren, Andrew Blair, David Blair, and Jennifer Signora; and 15 beautiful great-grand-

Blair children.

Throughout her hundred years Dorothy maintained her good humor and found strength and love in her family and numerous friends.

“Therefore, be at peace with God, whatever you conceive him to be, and whatever your labours and aspirations in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful.

Strive to be happy.” from: Desiderata - Max Ehrmann 1927

Girls’ stories part of debate about Kansas abortions

By John Hanna Associated Press

TOPEKA — A 15-year-old Kansas girl wanted to be a professional rodeo barrelracer and saw the chance disappearing when she became pregnant. A girl from Illinois, also 15, had given up basketball because it no longer seemed fun. Half a dozen teenagers worried about being forced to drop out of school or forgo college. Distraught, they came to the late Dr. George Tiller’s clinic for late-term abortions.

Kansas law required Tiller to get a second opinion before performing each procedure, and his clinic turned to Dr. Ann Kristin Neuhaus for mental health exams. The clinic terminated each girl’s pregnancy in 2003 after Neuhaus told Tiller in a short letter with identical language each time that, without an abortion, the patient faced “substantial and irreversible impairment of a major physical or mental function.”

She concluded that Tiller’s patients suffered from acute anxiety, acute stress or a single episode of major depression. A complaint before the State Board of Healing Arts now accuses her of negligence in examining the mental health of 11 patients, aged 10 to 18, who received abortions after the 25th week of pregnancy at Tiller’s clinic in Wichita from July to November 2003.

Each girl’s story was covered last week in testimony before a hearing officer who will recommend to the board whether Neuhaus should face sanctions. The stories also are a part of the larger debate over abortion, because abortion opponents say the details show that Tiller found ways, with help from Neuhaus, to do late-term procedures for “social” reasons when Kansas law meant to restrict them to emergencies.

The patients’ worries about sports or school — and weeping, too — were noted when Tiller’s staff screened them for potential signs of mental health problems but

were not specifically cited

by Neuhaus in her own reports. The Associated Press examined the files produced for each patient by Neuhaus and Tiller’s clinic, edited to remove patient names or addresses. One belonged to a 10-year-old rape and incest victim from California.

“Separating the wheat from the chaff in cases of adolescents who are in tough emotional situations is the job of professionals like Dr. Neuhaus and the staff of Dr. Tiller’s former clinic,” said Robert Eye, one of Neuhaus’ attorneys. “The reasons for these abortions are not trivial.”

Neuhaus’ reports on her diagnoses, compiled with a “PsychManager Lite” computer program, are five pages or less and don’t cite details from patients’ statements or data gleaned from her exams. Dr. Liza Gold, a clinical psychiatry professor at the Georgetown University Medical Center in Washington, reviewed Neuhaus’ records and testified that there’s not enough information in them to show exactly how Neuhaus reached her conclusions — or to help physicians who might later treat the patients.

Neuhaus, a general practitioner, contends the records and her care met accepted standards. Dr. Allen Greiner, a Kansas University Medical Center professor and colleague in providing charity care, said Neuhaus did more than most family practice doctors who conduct mental health exams.

Neuhaus also testified that her records don’t contain more personal data about patients because she feared anti-abortion groups and officials might obtain the information and make it public, violating patient privacy.

Phill Kline, an anti-abortion Republican who was attorney general in 2003-07 and investigated abortion providers, called the argument “laughable” and said the lack of detail in Neuhaus’ files shows she did exams solely to clear the way for Tiller’s abortions.

the KBI sends letters to states that offenders move to, but after that it’s somebody else’s responsibility.

“It’s up to (the new state and the offender) to do,” Smith said.

There could be cases where an offender moves to one state, then to another, but that information isn’t necessarily communicated among states, Smith said.

That’s exactly the problem, said Laura Ahearn, executive director of Parents for Megan’s Law and the Crime Victims Center, a nonprofit organization that advocates for more accountability in sex offender registries nationwide.

“We’ve established a law that requires society’s most cunning of criminals to register on an honor system,” Ahearn said. “Where are those 161 offenders?”

Differing laws in different states makes keeping track of sex offenders a complicated endeavor, Ahearn said.

In some cases, an offender in one state may not be required to register in another state. That leaves some clever offenders engaging in what Ahearn calls “state shopping,” where offenders move to a state where registry laws may not be as strict.

Ahearn scoffs at the idea that some states don’t aggressively monitor what happens to an offender when they leave a state.

“If you are going to require a sex offender to register for life, you should be monitoring them for life,” Ahearn said.

Kansas taking steps Despite the issues identified during the JournalWorld investigation, Kansas has taken steps to improve its sex offender registry.

A law that went into effect July 1 strengthened Kansas’ offender registry, increasing penalties for offenders who fail to register while reduc-

UNREGISTERED SEX OFFENDERS Examples of two local sex offenders who could not be located

Anthony Joseph Jake, 31 Jake was convicted of aggravated sexual battery in Douglas County in 2004, after breaking into a Lawrence woman’s apartment and sexually Jake assaulting her while she was sleeping. Jake spent four years in prison and was released in 2008. On the Kansas registry, the most recent address — from 2008 — for Jake is a post office box in New Mexico. Jake, however, is not listed on the New Mexico sex offender registry.

The updates earned Kansas recognition as just the 10th state in the country to comply with the 2006 federal Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act, known as SORNA. SORNA also gives the U.S. Marshals Service authority to investigate sex offenders who move out of state but fail to register in their new state. Matt Cahill, senior investigator with the marshals service’s Kansas office, said they’ve apprehended several sex offenders who fail to register in another state, which is a federal and state felony.

Smith said that Kansas is also working on software that will allow the state to communicate more quickly with other states, intended to fix some of the problems with interstate movement.

That software could be ready as early as next spring, Smith said.

But the way the sex offender registry system currently operates, in Kansas and across the country, could leave communities in the dark when dangerous offenders move in from another state, Ahearn said, subverting the intent of such laws.

And the pain that abuse victims have suffered is compounded by the mystery of where their offenders may be, Ahearn said.

“That’s terrifying to (victims) to not know where their offender is,” she said.

A Journal-World investigation found that compliance rates vary across the state, highlighting a disparity in how 105 Kansas counties enforce the law. For instance, in Ford County, the compliance rate for their 47 registered sex offenders is 74 percent.

In Greenwood County, only 11 of the county’s 16 offenders are in compliance.

Douglas County, on the other hand, boasts a better-thanaverage compliance rate, with only two noncompliant offenders out of 81 offenders in the county.

Fatality raises safety profile

All together now 1 | WEST VIRGINIA

Pilot dies in air show crash The pilot of a post-World War II plane died Saturday after crashing into a runway and bursting into flames, the second deadly air show crash in 24 hours.

The West Virginia Air National Guard said that no spectators were injured and that the crash site was far away from anyone at the show. Still, air show officials posted a notice on their website encouraging those who witnessed the crash to seek support if they felt viewing it had been traumatic.

The crash occurred a day after a stunt pilot crashed at a Nevada air show Friday, killing nine.

“We were fortunate that the safety measures put in place by the Federal Aviation Administration ensured the safety of those on the ground,” Maj. Gen. James Hoyer, adjutant general of the West Virginia National Guard, said in a statement. “Right now our thoughts and prayers are with the family members of the deceased.”

Officials have not released the pilot’s name. The fixed-wing, single-engine T-28 plane is registered to John Mangan of Concord, N.C., and was built in 1958, according to a Federal Aviation Administration registry.

Obama eyes new tax rate for rich President Barack Obama is expected to seek a new base tax rate for the wealthy to ensure that millionaires pay at least at the same percentage as middle-income taxpayers.

A White House official said the proposal would be included in the president’s proposal for long-term deficit reduction that he will announce Monday. The official spoke anonymously because the plan has not been officially announced.

Obama is going to call it the “Buffett Rule” for Warren Buffett, the billionaire investor who has complained that rich people like him pay a smaller share of their income in federal taxes than middleclass taxpayers.

The measure would be in addition to $447 billion in new tax revenue that Obama is seeking to pay for his short-term spending and tax-cutting plan to jump start the economy.

2 | WASHINGTON, D.C.

Daughter of Ted Kennedy dies at 51 Several years after she was deemed cancer-free, Kara Kennedy accepted the Presidential Medal of Freedom on behalf of her father, just weeks before Sen. Edward Kennedy died battling a brain tumor.

However, her own lung cancer treatment — surgery and grueling chemotherapy and radiation — left her physically weakened, her brother Patrick Kennedy said. She died Friday at age 51 after her daily workout at a Washington health club.

“Her heart gave out,” said Patrick Kennedy, a former congressman from Rhode Island.

“She’s with dad.”

In a telephone interview from her home in Boston on Saturday, Joan Bennett Kennedy said she and her daughter were “best friends” who liked to take long swims together and walks on the beach. She said her daughter had fully recovered from cancer and didn’t have any lingering health issues.

“She was very healthy. That’s why this is such a shock,” Joan Kennedy said.

Scientists discover 12 frog species Years of combing tropical mountain forests, shining flashlights under rocks and listening for croaks in the night have paid off for a team of Indian scientists that has discovered 12 new frog species plus three others thought to have been extinct.

It’s a find the team hopes will bring attention to India’s amphibians and their role in gauging the health of the environment.

Worldwide, 32 percent of the world’s known amphibian species are threatened with extinction, largely because of habitat loss or pollution, according to the group Global Wildlife Conservation.

“Frogs are extremely important indicators not just of climate change, but also pollutants in the environment,” said the project’s lead scientist, biologist Sathyabhama Das Biju of the University of Delhi.

Many of the newly found frogs in India are rare and are living in just a single area, so they will need rigorous habitat protection, Biju told The Associated Press on Saturday.

After trying it out for a day, the general consensus among the 20 or so graduates of a community rowing clinic sponsored by Kansas Athletics and the city of Lawrence was that the sport’s a little harder than it looks.

Tom Hayes, a former college football player whose daughter competes on Kansas University’s rowing team, participated and said he found rowing to be harder than football. After all, he said, in football at least you get a break after every play.

The group was coached along by Kansas University rowers, graduate assistants and Jennifer Myers, KU’s assistant rowing coach.

GROUPS OF ROWERS RACE on the Kaw River near the Interstate 70 bridge. About 20 people of all ages took part in the rowing clinic Saturday. the river was pretty shallow in the spots where they were rowing, anyway.

Everyone did get a blue T-shirt that proclaimed “I learned how to row on the Kaw.” Fortunately, the event went off without any major water rescues. The program attracted interest from all sorts of people, both young and old.

Kat LaFever, a freshman at Free State High School, said her mother encouraged her to try the new sport Greg Bien of Lawrence said he signed on to get exposure to a new kind of exercise and to see whether he could sell his granddaughter on participating in the program at KU.

Myers said this was the second year for the program, and the team helped out to spread awareness and respect for rowing and to give community members a chance to try the sport. Participants did well, she said, and now they’re a member of a pretty small family of people who know how to row competitively.

Stuart Beals, a Lawrence resident, said he was hooked and hoped Lawrence might start a rowing club soon.

“It might be the ultimate team sport,” he said. “It matters a lot more that you row together than you row hard.”

Motorcycle CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

According to the Kansas Department of Transportation, 12 fatality accidents in Douglas County between 2006 and 2010 have involved motorcycles. Skipton’s was the first motorcycle accident involving a fatality in 2011.

But Robbins said there have been other recent injury accidents involving motorcycles in the area, and he said drivers should expect to see riders on streets and highways in nice weather this fall.

The sport bike association and Kansas Highway Patrol offer these safety tips to help keep motorcyclists safe: ! Always allow a motorcyclist a full lane and always check your mirrors and blind spots before changing lanes or entering an intersection to make sure a motorcyclist is not nearby. ! Use your signals before changing lanes. ! Allow more distance, three to four seconds, when following a motorcycle to give the motorcyclist enough time to maneuver or stop in an emergency. ! Motorcyclists should always wear a helmet and protective gear and turn their

THIS TOO SHALL PASS Even with recent gains in the market, the concept of homeownership is still under attack. Owners feel let down by falling values, critics say the American Dream has become a nightmare, and others say renting is the best option now. There is no doubt that many have suffered at the hands of bad lending practices and economic turmoil associated with the recession.

Special to the Journal-World

MEMBERS OF THE LAWRENCE SPORT BIKE ASSOCIATION took a memorial ride in honor of Josh Skipton, who was killed in a wreck on Iowa Street, and stopped at the crash site, where a cross has been placed. The group included Ahmed Alyousef, kneeling at the cross, and Matt Kaufmann, standing at center. headlights on. ! Motorcyclists should avoid driving near the center lane where debris and oil from vehicles can build up.

Lawrence police Capt. Dan Ward, who has ridden a motorcycle since he was a teenager, said motorcyclists, no matter their level of experi-

ence, should frequently work on honing their skills by taking safety courses.

Riding is dangerous because often what could be a normal fender-bender collision between vehicles can be more serious when it involves a motorcycle because the motorcyclist is less pro-

Document access One advance that may be coming soon would change the way we store and access our important documents, such as birth certificates and social security cards. Instead of going to a government building to get them, we would be able to access the original documents online.

It won’t be just a copy. It will be the real thing, admissible in court.

“You don’t have to go down and be in the presence of government to get your record. You can get it online in its original (form),” Heiman said. “It’s authenticated, and it endures forever.”

The tricky part is developing a way the record can’t be altered once it’s put into the system. It will be preserved forever once it is authenticated as the real document.

The technology is getting close, Heiman said. Scientists at NASA and the Massachusetts Institute for Technology have worked on the problem, and Propylon, a tech company with an office in Lawrence, has developed a prototype.

Last year, the Legislature passed a law saying that if such a system were created, and the documents were approved by the state archivist, they would be admissible in court.

change the way lawmakers create bills in the state. The old system was time-consuming, with amendments added to a bill by physically taping strips of paper onto the original versions.

It’s now done electronically, making it possible for someone to track the development of a bill by looking at the various forms it took and even see what speeches legislators gave at each step of a bill’s creation. Heiman said this makes legislative intent easier to track and interpret.

“Laws are not fully touching you, until the courts interpret the bills,” he said. “So that intent is very, very important in the interpretation of the laws that are made.

You capture that intent at the time that you create the bill.”

For Heiman, this is his second retirement. He tried it in 2001 but was drawn back into work. This time, he said, retirement will stick. He said his work is a younger person’s game.

Heiman has a daughter who is a mathematician, and looking at the work her generation is doing gives him confidence he’s leaving things in good hands.

“This next generation is coming in, and they are going to carry us to this next incredible world.”

work for the people. Even as we become more aware of the ways technology threatens our privacy, Heiman’s career is a reminder that technology has also furthered democracy in Kansas and made government more accessible.

As a young man, Heiman worked as a junior analyst on the Geneva Convention arms treaty. In the 1970s, he worked under Kansas City, Mo., Police Chief Clarence Kelley, who later became director for the FBI, geocoding crime. He and others on the project mapped where crime occurred and used that data to determine where police officers should be deployed.

It’s common practice now but was revolutionary at the time.

“I got to see a round of technology that affects you and I in a very personal way,” Heiman said.

Heiman went on to work for the Kansas Legislature, back when computing power was much more expensive.

He bought million-dollar mainframes and a $10,000 desktop computer for the state.

“Can you imagine buying a desktop for $10,000?” he Tracking intent In 2010, Heiman helped asked.

that homeownership provides to our communities and to society in general.

Homeowners have a higher level of selfesteem, education, and involvement in civic activities. Why try to tear down these fundamental truths simply because we are in a downward part of the always dynamic cycle of real estate?

The time has come to reaffirm the dream of homeownership, but in a more sober and accountable fashion. We should emphasize responsible ownership for the long term, which helps us and our communities achieve the common goals of financial and social well-being. Today’s naysayers will change their tune when the cycle rises again, and you can count on No one can argue against the benefits that.

However… owning a home has always been a huge part of the American Dream, and will continue to be so long after the current economic crisis and wave of defaults has passed. Our homes are a place of security for our families and for establishing traditions with our friends.

Q:

If people are responsible for clearing their sidewalks of snow in the winter, are they also responsible for clearing mud and packed dirt in other seasons?

A:

Yes. City code requires that occupants and owners of property not permit substances to accumulate on the sidewalk along property. The code does not apply when repairing sidewalks, curbs or gutters but does apply any other time. To report a code violation for city staff to follow up, visit lawrenceks.org/ request_city_services.

ACCIDENT REPORT • An Olathe teen was taken to a Kansas City-area hospital after a rollover accident on westbound Kansas Highway 10 in Johnson County, according to a Kansas Highway Patrol report.

Kevin James Shaunty Jr., 15, was attempting to merge onto northbound Kansas Highway 7 when he was traveling too fast and rolled the 2001 Ford Explorer he was driving, the report said. His injuries were not believed to be life-threatening. He was treated and later released from the hospital, a hospital official said.

• Two people were transported to a local hospital Saturday afternoon after a two-car accident in the 900 block of 23rd Street, near the McDonald’s restaurant, said Lawrence Police Sgt. Trent McKinley. Just before 3 p.m. Saturday, a blue Geo Metro rear-ended a stopped

Teen convicted in shooting death KANSAS CITY, KAN. — A Wyandotte County jury has convicted a 17-year-old in the death of another teenager.

Stephen Reed was found guilty Friday of intentional second-degree murder and possession of a firearm by a juvenile in the April shooting death of 16-year-old Ryder Spillman near an elementary school in Kansas City, Kan. Prosecutors said the shooting stemmed from a rivalry between two groups of suburban Kansas City skateboarders.

The Kansas City Star reported that defense attorney Carl Cornwell argued that Reed believed Spillman had a gun, and that made the case self-defense or involuntary manslaughter.

Reed’s cousin, Shane Reed, now 18, pleaded guilty to juvenile charges and was sentenced to 18 months in juvenile confinement.

Stephen Reed faces an adult prison sentence ranging from about 12 years to 54 years.

KU MEDICAL CENTER

2010 residency scores below national average

SALE

Thursday, Sept. 15th - Sunday, Sept. 18th

—————

2011 numbers expected to be higher

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

Scores on an exam that residents in Kansas University Medical Center’s internal medicine program take at the end of their residency have fallen below the threshold recommended by a national accrediting agency in graduate medical education.

KUMC’s first-time passage rate on the American Board of Internal Medicine’s certification exam fell to a threeyear average of 78 percent in 2010. The year before, KU’s three-year passage rate was 89 percent, which is near the national average, said Lisa Vansaghi, KUMC’s residency program director in internal medicine.

Medical residency is a form of graduate medical education and is a period of training after students graduate from medical school. Residents practice medicine and are supervised by physicians in a process that can take from three to seven years, said Julie Jacob, a spokeswoman for the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, which accredits schools such as KU. Doctors who wish to become specialists must take examinations in their field of specialty at the end of their residency. The ACGME uses the exam passage rates as one of its criteria when accrediting schools. Its current standard on the internal medicine test is a three-year average passing rate of 80 percent. Each specialty receives a separate accreditation score.

Accreditation process In 2010, 61 percent of KUMC residents in internal medicine passed the exam, which lowered the threeyear average to below the 80 percent.

But just because the scores are low now doesn’t mean KUMC will lose its accreditation. Jacob pointed to regulations that state a program can be put on probation if it “has failed to demonstrate substantial compliance with the requirements.” Vansaghi said that when an accreditation team visits, it weighs a number of factors and determines when it will visit for its next review. Depending on how many violations are found, the accreditation team decides to come back again in one to five years, she said.

The internal medicine program was reviewed last year, and the team decided to review the program again after three years. When they visited, KU’s exam scores were within the acceptable range.

“If they would have visited us this year, it would have

been a citation for our program,” Vansaghi said.

Typically, in a given year, between 15 and 20 people take the test at KU, so percentages can fluctuate from year to year, which is why the ACGME uses a threeyear average, she said.

Looking to 2011 scores Though this year’s group of residents has already taken the 2011 exam, Vansaghi said scores won’t be available for several more months. She anticipates that they’ll go up, though, as the residents had been performing well on practice exams, she said.

“I am, I hope, appropriately concerned about it,” Vansaghi said. “I don’t think the sky is falling or the world is ending.”

She said the program has taken steps to ensure that residents, who are typically primarily focused on patient care, are prepared for the exam in the future.

“Prior to 2010, we kind of left it up to them as adult learners and that they’d follow up with it,” she said.

More exam preparation time has been worked into lectures for the residents, she said, and the school is giving students more test preparation materials and helping them with issues as they arise.

In the internal medicine program, about a third to a fourth of the residents are graduates of the KU School of Medicine, Vansaghi said.

The majority come from elsewhere.

“We’re feeling good about this year’s results,” Vansaghi said. “Our accreditation is not in danger.”

Robbery CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

these grifters. Robbing banks is new to them. Handling a crowd is something they don’t need to deal with on their first time out.

But think of the cabbage that has to be in that vault.

So they keep watching. The next morning, they see the bank president walking down Massachusetts Street. He’s alone, and he unlocks the front doors about 10 minutes before any other bank employees arrive.

The next morning, Barrow and Fults meet the bank president at the front door.

Barrow shows him a sawedoff shotgun that’s under his overcoat, and it looks like this job is going to be aces.

But now, two bank employees are walking up the sidewalk. Fults meets them, and the trio are quickly escorted into the bank. Into the vault they go, and out comes a bag of coin and currency.

Hamilton is in the tin can with the motor running.

There’s no stopping until East St. Louis. The cash is counted. The take is $33,000 — the equivalent of about a half-million dollars in today’s terms.

Clyde Barrow now had a taste for this bank-robbery business. Soon enough, he would be joined by his girlfriend. A bank robbery in Lawrence, Kansas, in March of 1932 opened the door for the country to meet perhaps its most infamous crime duo: Bonnie and Clyde. !"!"!

Never heard that piece of Lawrence history? Most other folks haven’t either. Tom Wilson is the owner/operator of Teller’s, the restaurant that now occupies the former First National Bank of Lawrence building at 746 Mass.

He hadn’t heard of the story either, and then retired Kansas University professor Ray Souza came into the restaurant one evening earlier this year.

“He asked me if I knew my restaurant was the spot where Clyde Barrow started robbing banks,” Wilson recalls. “At first I was like, ‘OK. How many are in your party?’

“But then he just presented all this information to me.”

Indeed, there are at least three published books that tell the story of how Barrow got into the bank-robbery business by knocking off the First National Bank of Lawrence in 1932. But all the books rely on the same source: the autobiography of

“

Whether or not it actually happened, I don’t know. But it is a great tale.”

— Bill Docking, president and CEO of the Union State Bank in Arkansas City

Ralph Fults.

John Neal Phillips wrote Fults’ autobiography after interviewing the felon off-andon for about 13 years. Phillips told the Journal-World this week that Fults clearly remembered the Lawrence job.

“I asked him several times if he could be confusing Lawrence with some other place because I hadn’t heard that either, and he always said no,” Phillips said. “Ralph was absolutely crystal clear it was Lawrence. Everything else Ralph ever told me about his time with Barrow checked out. Every stinking bit of it.”

But Fults’ word is all that historians have to go on.

There is no evidence from the day that suggests the bank was ever robbed. No police report. No newspaper account.

If the First National Bank of Lawrence was robbed by Clyde Barrow, it appears the bank president, the two employees — and presumably someone who let them out of the vault — vowed to keep it a secret. !"!"!

Bill Docking is the president and CEO of the Union State Bank in Arkansas City.

In 1932, his great-grandfather, William Docking, was the president of the First National Bank of Lawrence — and likely one of the most powerful men in Lawrence.

“I have not heard a word of this, but that’s not to say that it didn’t happen,” Docking said.

Docking was only 1 year old when his great-grandfather passed away. Bill Docking’s grandfather and father never told the story, but they were awfully busy men. His grandfather, George Docking, was the 35th governor of Kansas. His father, Robert Docking, was the 38th governor of the state.

Bill Docking said he was open to the idea that the robbery did happen.

“I would think this Mr. Fults would be a reliable source,” Docking said. “You would have to wonder what his motive to lie would be at that point in his life.”

Docking said he could see how his great-grandfather would not want news of

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD the bank robbery becoming public. In 1932, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation — the FDIC — was not yet created. People’s bank deposits were not federally insured against loss. One theory goes that the bank was concerned that if the public learned about the robbery, there might be a run on the bank by nervous depositors.

“That does seem entirely reasonable,” Docking said of why the bank may have kept the robbery a secret.

“Whether or not it actually happened, I don’t know. But it is a great tale.” !"!"!

Wilson is convinced enough that the robbery happened.

He’s teamed up with The Eldridge to plan a re-enactment of the event Sept. 30. Mayor Aron Cromwell has agreed to play the bank president. Actors from Theatre Lawrence have been recruited to play the crooks. A 1933 Ford sedan that appeared in the George Clooney movie “O Brother, Where Art Thou” will serve as the getaway car. The Eldridge will host a cocktail party beforehand where re-enactors will mingle with the crowd, and Wilson will have a sound system at Teller’s so folks both inside and outside the restaurant can hear all the narration and dialogue.

But Wilson said he thinks the re-enactment could just be the beginning.

“I think it is big history,” Wilson said. “We are actually the reason Bonnie and Clyde went on a bank-robbery spree. If it wouldn’t have happened here, I’m not sure it would have happened.

After this, they live their life full-throttle for the next two years.”

Wilson said ideas for future years include special hotel and dinner packages for Bonnie and Clyde buffs, a special night of ballroom dancing on Teller’s upper floor, and possibly a movie screening of the Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway classic “Bonnie and Clyde” at Liberty Hall.

The restaurant already has memorabilia in the mainfloor vault that still exists in the building. Wilson also has been trying to make contact with the producers who are remaking “Bonnie and Clyde,” which supposedly is going to be filmed in parts of Nebraska.

“Really, the question is what haven’t I thought of?”

Wilson said. “It could go any number of directions, but I’m pretty excited about it.”

Farmers in Northeast warn Irene left pumpkin shortage

By Chris Hawley Associated Press

NEW YORK — Northeastern states are facing a jacko’-lantern shortage this Halloween after Hurricane Irene destroyed hundreds of pumpkin patches across the region, farmers say.

Wholesale prices have doubled in some places as farmers nurse their surviving pumpkin plants toward a late harvest.

Some farmers are trying to buy pumpkins from other regions to cover orders.

“I think there’s going to be an extreme shortage of pumpkins this year,” said Darcy Pray, owner of Pray’s Family Farms in Keeseville, in upstate New York. “I’ve tried buying from people down in the Pennsylvania area, I’ve tried locally here, and I’ve tried reaching across the border to some farmers over in the Quebec area.

There’s just none around.”

Hurricane Irene raked the Northeast in late August, bringing torrents of rain that overflowed rivers and flooded fields along the East Coast and into southern Canada. Pray saw his entire crop, about 15,000 to 20,000 pumpkins, washed into Lake Champlain.

But pumpkin farmers had been having a difficult year even before the storm. Heavy rains this spring meant many farms had to postpone planting for two or three weeks, setting back the fall harvest, said Jim Murray, owner of

the Applejacks Orchard in Peru, N.Y. A late harvest can be fatal to business because pumpkin sales plummet after Halloween on Oct. 31. Wholesalers need to get pumpkins on their way to stores by midSeptember.

Another spate of rain about two weeks before Irene caused outbreaks of the phytophthora fungus —a type of water mold — in many fields, said Jim Stakey, owner of Stakey’s Pumpkin Farm in Aquebogue, on New York’s Long Island.

This week a cold snap

threatened to kill the surviving vines, Murray said.

“We were real close to a frost last night,” Murray said Saturday. “It was 34, and if we had had a frost, a lot of immature pumpkins would have never made it.”

The wholesale price for a bin of 32 to 45 pumpkins ranged from $150 to $200 in upstate New York, about twice the normal price, Pray said. It was still unclear how the shortage would affect retail prices, he said, but in a normal year, each pumpkin could sell for up to $15 at a supermarket in a big city like New York.

Death toll from Reno crash rises

By Don Thompson and Ken Ritter Associated Press

RENO, NEV. — The death toll rose to nine Saturday in an air race crash in Reno as investigators determined that several spectators were killed on impact as the 1940smodel plane appeared to lose a piece of its tail before slamming like a missile into a crowded tarmac.

Moments earlier, thousands had arched their necks skyward and watched the planes speed by just a few hundred feet off the ground before some noticed a strange gurgling engine noise from above.

Seconds later, the P-51 Mustang dubbed The Galloping Ghost pitched oddly upward, twirled and took an immediate nosedive into a section of white VIP box seats.

The plane, flown by a 74-year-old veteran racer and Hollywood stunt pilot, disintegrated in a ball of dust, debris and bodies as screams of “Oh my God!” spread through the crowd.

Some credit the pilot with preventing the crash from being far more deadly by avoiding the grandstand section with a last-minute climb, although it’s impossible at this point to know his thinking as he was confronted with the disaster and had just seconds to respond.

Struggling states in jam over road maintenance

By Cristina Silva and Joan Lowy

The American public has turned selfish. They don’t really want to LAS VEGAS — The Hoover Dam, one of the world’s invest in this stuff.

Associated Press

great engineering feats, is marred by roads with traffic so jammed along the NevadaArizona border that it tells a different story about the political will to maintain 21st century infrastructure.

The road leading to the dam cannot accommodate the torrent of tourists and spills them into the overwhelmed little town of Boulder City. Nevada lawmakers are trying to find a private company to build a $400 million bypass because the state can’t afford it.

The phrase “you can’t get there from here” is increasingly apt nearly everywhere one turns. America’s roads, highways, bridges and transit systems are falling apart.

Even those not in disrepair are often so crowded that a horse and buggy might seem faster. Cities and suburbs are outgrowing their infrastructure far faster than local governments can find the money to fix them.

While the problem is plain to all, the money and the political will to fix it isn’t there.

Two congressionally mandated commissions and a slew

BRIEFLY Ex-Illinois senator dies at age 91 CHICAGO — Former Sen. Charles H. Percy, a successful Chicago businessman once widely viewed as a top presidential contender, described himself as “a conservative on money issues but a liberal on people issues.”

That unwavering commitment to moderate values often put the forPercy mer Foreign Relations Committee chairman at odds with conservatives in the Republican party, including former President Richard Nixon, but that didn’t deter him in the nearly 20 years he represented Illinois in the Senate.

Percy sponsored a resolution calling for a special prosecutor in the Watergate scandal and became a critic of the Vietnam War. He died Saturday in Washington at 91.

Percy’s daughter, Sharon Rockefeller, announced in March 2009 that he had Alzheimer’s disease. His death was announced by the office of his son-in-law, West Virginia Sen. Jay Rockefeller.

— Robert Atkinson, a technology think-tank executive who helped lead one of the federal transportation commissions of experts and committees have said the nation needs to double, even quadruple, what it spends each year to maintain and repair its aging transportation infrastructure and expand to accommodate population growth.

So there’s the rub. No one likes traffic jams and potholes. No one wants people to die because an unsafe bridge has collapsed. But raising federal gas and diesel taxes or boosting tolls and fees isn’t popular, either.

Pew Center polls in the last year show that 67 percent of those questioned said their state should not cut money for roads and public transit to balance its budget. But only 38 percent want federal spending increased and only 27 percent favor an increase in the gas tax that often pays for it.

At the same time, threequarters say more spending

Military society subtly changes as gay ban comes to an end

By Julie Watson Associated Press

SAN DIEGO — Night-long celebrations will mark the final countdown to the historic end of the U.S. military’s ban on openly gay troops, and even more partying will take place once it is lifted Tuesday. But in many ways change is already here.

Countless subtle acts over the past months have been reshaping the military’s staunchly traditional society in preparation for the U.S. armed forces’ biggest policy shift in decades. Supporters of repeal compare it to the racial desegregation of troops more than 60 years ago.

For some gay service members, the fear of discovery and reprisals dissipated months ago when a federal court halted all investigations and discharge proceedings under “don’t ask, don’t tell,” while military leaders prepared the armed services for its end.

Several have come out to their peers and commanders.

Germany kicks off Oktoberfest BERLIN — The mayor of Munich has tapped the first keg to kick off the 178th traditional German folk festival Oktoberfest.

With only two deft blows of his hammer and a cry of “O’zapft is” — “It’s Tapped,” Mayor Christian Ude inserted the first tap into the first keg as the festival opened its doors to the public Saturday.

More than 6 million guests from around the world are expected to descend on the beer tents of Munich to celebrate Oktoberfest during the next 17 days.

on roads, bridges and other public works would help create jobs.

“The American public has turned selfish. They don’t really want to invest in this stuff,” said Robert Atkinson, a technology think-tank executive who helped lead one of the federal transportation commissions. “It’s akin to leaving your house to your kids when you die without fixing the roof because you wanted to spend the money instead on Florida vacations.”

The consequences of inaction are severe.

Atkinson’s commission forecast “unimaginable levels of congestion” in the coming decades. Safety will be reduced. Goods and services will cost more. The quality of life will be eroded, and the nation’s economic competitiveness diminished, the commission predicted.

The Federal Highway Administration predicts 40 percent of the nation’s major highways will be congested by 2035 without major fixes.

“Our highways are clogged with traffic. Our skies are the most congested in the world.

This is inexcusable,” President Barack Obama told Congress in a speech last week in which he demanded passage of a jobs bill.

stated the cover page of the Marine Corps Times distributed to bases worldwide a week ahead of Tuesday’s repeal.

The headline offended some but for many troops it echoed their sentiment that repeal is a non-issue for a military that operates by following orders and is busy at war. That sentiment is backed by Pentagon officials who say they have found no evidence the repeal so far has disrupted forces or harmed unit cohesion as predicted by opponents.

Air Force Capt. Diane Cox, whose gay son served in the Navy, said she got into heated debates with service members vowing not to take showers and share rooms with gays before Congress voted to repeal the law, but after the military held sensitivity trainings to explain the new rules “everybody just shut up.”

Jokes are still told about gay people but the harsh remarks have stopped, she said.

“It’s a new Air Force. I’m really surprised how everything settled down as much as it has,” said the emergency room nurse at Travis Air Force base, near Fairfield in northern California. “Some of the best, most honorable people have had the military pin medals of honor on them for combat and then they’ve gotten kicked out over this.

It’s shameful. I’m glad it’s done.”

Many no doubt will continue to keep their personal lives private. But gay service members say their jobs already feel easier. They no longer use code words or change pronouns in their conversations to protect their careers.

transportation system is part of what made us an economic superpower. And now we’re going to sit back and watch China build newer airports and faster railroads? At a time when millions of unemployed construction workers could build them right here in America?”

Despite the sense of urgency, federal highway and transit programs that underwrite about 40 percent of transportation construction have been in a kind of legislative limbo for two years, limping along under a series of short-term extensions because Congress can’t figure out how to pay for them.

Republicans want the programs to be funded almost entirely through existing transportation taxes, primarily the 18.4 cents per gallon federal gas tax and 24.4 cents per gallon federal diesel tax. But revenue from the taxes is declining as people drive less and buy more fuel-efficient cars.

EDITORIALS

Environmental uncertainty Uncertainty about new environmental regulations may feed an overreaction by local developers.

U

ncertainty often produces unpleasant results. City and county commissioners — along with area environmentalists — may be getting a reminder of that fact, courtesy of a fleet of bulldozers.

In recent weeks, at least two large areas of woodlands in rural Douglas County — one near Clinton State Park and one north of the Lecompton interchange on the Kansas Turnpike — have been bulldozed. Land that once was home to strong stands of trees now is largely barren earth.

Exactly why the sites have been deforested isn’t clear. The property owner — Lawrence builder Mike Stultz — hasn’t responded to requests for comment. But the clear-cutting comes at an interesting time. Earlier this summer, city and county commissioners approved a controversial new chapter to the long-range city-county plan, Horizon 2020.

The addition is called the “environmental chapter,” and it sets out a long list of goals to protect the environment.

The environmental chapter was vigorously opposed by the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, the Lawrence Board of Realtors and other development-oriented groups. The narrow City and County Commission majorities that passed the chapter frequently reminded opponents that the new chapter doesn’t create any new regulations, but that’s part of the problem. The chapter itself doesn’t create any new regulations, but rather leaves open the door for a nearly endless number of changes. The chapter directs staff members to begin crafting regulations related to limiting development near streams and protecting woodlands, wetlands and undeveloped pieces of plant and wildlife habitat, among others.

In the eyes of developers, that list creates a great deal of uncertainty about how they will be able to develop their properties in the future. If developers start taking actions to alter their properties — such as removing a large number of trees — as a hedge against future regulations, that would be disappointing — but not shocking.

It is disappointing that some members of the development community have so little trust in local leaders to craft reasonable regulations, but some past actions and switches in policies have given developers reason to be wary. Unfortunately, the most recent clearcutting operations probably have diminished the development community’s standing in the eyes of some members of the public.

None of this will help the community deal with the long-standing tensions related to the proper pace and scale of development in Lawrence and Douglas County.

It is admirable for local leaders to take action to protect the environment. Douglas County will be much better served in the future if it adopts an attitude of stewardship toward our natural resources. But it is unwise of us to create an environment of uncertainty in the process.

As it stands now, there is no timeline for staff members to begin crafting the new regulations that are called for in the environmental chapter. Will it be a year before the public begins to see the details? Two years?

Five years? City and county commissioners need to create a timeline for that work to be completed.

Otherwise, the considerable work and debate that went into passing the chapter will be for naught. In its current form, the chapter does nothing for the county except to give local residents something else to argue over — and that’s one aspect of Lawrence’s environment that has never been endangered.

Defense feels threat from debt debate WASHINGTON — It must take some getting used to. Leon Panetta, the secretary of defense, knows the Pentagon is under 24hour cyber siege. There constantly are thousands of what he calls “exploitive” cyber probes from nations “pulsing the system,” trying to devise tools to disrupt the control systems without which complex societies such as ours cannot function. Panetta, a seasoned Washingtonian who laughs easily and a temperate Californian who frets about the San Francisco Giants’ bats, is not given to hyperbole. But he says any cyber attack that “crippled our (electricity) grid or took down our financial system would make Pearl Harbor and 9/11 combined look mild” in terms of social disruption.

Although a cyber attack “is moving up” on his list of his worries, it ranks only “third or fourth,” behind North Korea’s and Iran’s nuclear weapons programs, what he calls terrorism “nodes” in places such as like Yemen, Somalia and North Africa, and wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. In Iraq, the mission of the remnant of U.S. forces — the number 3,000 has been bruited — will, Panetta says, include counterterrorism actions “working with the Iraqis.” Which leaves a lot of room for danger.

Panetta’s most immediate worry, however, is visible from the windows of his office overlooking the Potomac — Capitol Hill, where the “supercommit-

By Thanksgiving it will either agree to do something important — reduce the next decade’s debt by at least $1.2 trillion — or its disagreements will trigger something important: A sequester.

This would take from military budgets nearly $500 billion, in addition to a minimum of $350 billion cuts already scheduled.

An almost trillion-dollar trimming, Panetta says flatly, “cannot take place.” Actually, he knows it can: “The gun to the head could really go off.” Even without a sequester, the military “is going to be a smaller force.”

And with a sequester? The 1.5

million active-duty members of the armed services and 700,000 civilian employees of the Defense Department depend on an industrial base of more than 3.8 million persons. According to the Pentagon, a sequester would substantially shrink those three numbers, perhaps adding a point to the nation’s unemployment rate. The cuts would leave the smallest Army and Marine Corps in more than a decade and the smallest tactical Air Force since this service became independent of the Army in 1947.

The Navy has already shrunk almost to its smallest fleet size since World War I. Time was, when Democrats looked at the defense budget with a skeptical squint, Republicans rallied ‘round it. No more. Few tea partyers remember Washington’s hawk-versusdove dramas. They live to slow spending, period. They are constitutionalists but insufficiently attentive to the fact that defense is something the federal government does that it actually should do. And when they are told that particular military expenditures are crucial to force projection, they say: As in Libya? Been there, don’t want to do that.

Much of the defense budget is consumed by pay and health care for uniformed personnel, who have been abused enough by repeated deployments.

The priciest new weapon, the stealthy F-35 Joint Strike Fighter

(at least $90 million per plane), is vital for the continued salience of aircraft carriers, which are the basis of the U.S. strategic presence in the Western Pacific.

Inferring China’s geopolitical intentions from its military purchases is difficult, but Panetta says guardedly that in five years China’s force projection will be “much better.” The Marines, with their smaller carriers, need a short-takeoff model F-35. Cut the number of planes built, the cost per plane rises, and the ability to recoup costs through sales to allies declines.

Panetta’s two years as CIA director were important preparation for his current job; his nine terms in Congress, and four years as Bill Clinton’s head of the Office of Management and Budget and then chief of staff, were essential. A defense secretary’s tenure, more than that of any other Cabinet member, is graded by events a decade after he has left office, when the nation either has or does not have the military capabilities a crisis demands.

Until recently, Panetta thought there was a 90 percent probability of a sequester. Now he is less pessimistic because he thinks everybody was “burned” by the debt-ceiling battle. “The next few months,” he says, “are going to tell us a hell of a lot.” But the meaning of what is told may not become clear for 10 years.

Happy birthday

Execution doesn’t balance scales And they raised a cheer for death.

It was a chilling moment, but also a clarifying one in that it validated the grimmest suspicions about at least some of those who support capital punishment. That support, after all, is often framed in terms of high morality, the argument being that only in taking an offender’s life can a society truly express its revulsion over certain heinous crimes.

But when the audience at a recent GOP presidential debate cheered the observation that Texas Gov. Rick Perry has overseen a record 234 executions, that fig leaf was swept away. You knew this was not about some profound question for philosophers and august men. No, this was downturned thumbs in a Roman arena, vengeance putting on airs of justice, the need to see someone die.

People dress that need up in rags of righteousness and ethicality, but occasionally, the disguise slips and it shows itself for what it is: the atavistic impulse of those for whom justice is synonymous with blood.

If people really meant the arguments of high morality, you’d expect them to regard the death penalty with reverent sobriety. You would not expect them to cheer.

But that need to see death — the inability to imagine how justice can be had without it — is compelling. Indeed, there can be little doubt that is what is driving Troy Davis toward execution.

He’ll die on the 21st, barring clemency from the state of Georgia.

Leonard Pitts Jr.

“

lpitts@miamiherald.com

If people really meant the arguments of high morality, you’d expect them to regard the death penalty with reverent sobriety. You would not expect them to cheer.”

No conclusive forensic evidence ties him to the crime of which he was convicted, the 1989 killing of Savannah police officer Mark MacPhail. Of the nine witnesses who said they saw Davis shoot MacPhail, seven have since recanted, some saying police coerced them into lying. Of the two who have not recanted, one is a man identified by some witnesses as the real killer.

Yet on that dubious basis, Davis is scheduled to die.

It speaks to the power of that need, which was expressed with brutal candor by the dead officer’s mother, Anneliese, in 2008 when Davis received a stay from the Supreme Court. “I’m furious, disgusted and disappointed,” she said. “I want this over with.” She

said justice for her son requires death for Davis.

And that makes the letter recently sent by the family of another murder victim all the more remarkable.

James Anderson was killed in June near Jackson, Miss. He was a black man who was beaten and then run over with a pickup truck, allegedly by a group of white teenagers who, according to prosecutors, decided they wanted to go “eff with some N-words.”

The killing was the definition of horrific. Yet in its letter, Anderson’s family asks prosecutors not to seek the death penalty. It is against their faith, they wrote, adding that executing Anderson’s killers will not “balance the scales,” while sparing them may “spark a dialogue” that could help end capital punishment.

“Our loss will not be lessened by the state taking the life of another,” they said.

That the family was able to find such charity of spirit in the depth of their own despair speaks well of them, yes. But it also proves there is nothing foreordained, nothing destined, about this equation of justice with blood.

People can grow beyond that. A reverence for life can still trump a need for death.

Consider this column a lonely cheer for that.

To the editor: Citizens of Lawrence and Douglas County can take pride in the many individuals and groups who work tirelessly to preserve and promote the history of our wonderful area. Today marks the 157th birthday of Lawrence. Just seven years ago, our town was bustling with activity as we celebrated our sesquicentennial and presented Sesquicentennial Point as a marker of our 150th birthday.

Phase I of The Point is complete. Now we are working to complete Phase II of this beautiful space. Someday the Walk through Time will go the rest of the way down the hill to 2054, so that on the bicentennial of Lawrence there will be a walking history of Lawrence with an amphitheater for outdoor events. In 2054, Lawrence residents will be invited to open the time capsule and see what people valued in 2004.

You can learn more about this beautiful space by visiting the website of Lawrence Parks and Recreation http:// www.lawrenceks.org/lprd/ art/sesquicentennialpoint/ sesquicentennialpoint.

Woman sentenced in insulin murder WICHITA (AP) — A 55-yearold woman has been sentenced to more than three years in prison after pleading guilty to a role in the death of a man who was injected with a lethal dose of insulin in Wichita.

Sedgwick County District Judge Ben Burgess on Friday sentenced Rhonda Pischel to three years and seven months in prison. Pischel pleaded guilty earlier to involuntary manslaughter and aiding a felon.

The Wichita Eagle reported that a jury found Pischel’s sister, Sharon Huddleston, guilty in February of first-degree murder in the death of Todd Stover. Huddleston had admitted that she stabbed Stover in the back with a syringe, injecting him with the lethal dose of insulin. Huddleston was sentenced to life in prison.

Pischel was at the house and helped dispose of Stover’s body.

GEORGIA TECH 66, KANSAS 24

Ramblin’ wrecked

Kansas gets ACC kicked

By Matt Tait

mtait@ljworld.com

ATLANTA — If reports are true that Kansas University has become a target of the ACC, it’s a safe bet the Georgia Tech football team is OK with it.

In a game that may soon be known a conference match-up, ACC powerhouse Georgia Tech roughed up Kansas, 66-24, Saturday at Bobby Dodd Stadium and reminded the Jayhawks that they play football in this conference, too.

Behind 768 yards of total offense and three scoring drives that took just one play, the Yellow Jackets exacted revenge for last year’s loss in Lawrence and shredded the Kansas defense in just about every way imaginable.

“This team here, they can really expose you,” KU coach Turner Gill said of GT. “Unfortunately, we did get pretty much exposed in the running game and the passing game.”

At least in total-yardage terms, Saturday’s loss was KU’s second-worst defensive performance of all time. Only Nebraska, with 799 yards in 1978, gained more against a KU defense.

Georgia Tech’s 604 yards rushing also represented school records for both sides. Prior to Saturday, the previous record for rushing yards by a KU opponent belonged to Nebraska, which in 1983 rushed for 567 yards in a 67-13 victory in Lincoln, Neb. The quarterback on that NU team? Turner Gill. Although it’s unlikely Gill took much credit for Nebraska’s performance in that one, he shouldered all of the blame for Saturday’s debacle.

“I’m always accountable,” he said. “I’m the head football coach.

Everything needs to go right here on me. I understand that.”

GEORGIA TECH’S ORWIN SMITH (17) SLIPS PAST KANSAS UNIVERSITY’S KEBA AGOSTINHO (96) en route to some of his 265 total yards in the Yellow Jackets’ 66-24 Please see KANSAS, page 5B victory Saturday in Atlanta.

KU defense short on scheme, talent ATLANTA — The points Georgia Tech scored didn’t do justice to the more revealing indictment of Kansas University’s defense, which was the ease with which the Yellow Jackets scored them.

Never mind two-hand touch below the belt. If the rules had been one-hand touch anywhere, Tech still would have scored most of its touchdowns.

From Tech’s first play, a beautifully designed counter with a fake by quarterback Tevin Washington that sucked the entire defense in one direction so that running back Orwin Smith could sprint untouched for a 95-

yard touchdown, the crowd of 42,025 in Bobby Dodd Stadium watched the home team lock up the front of KU’s defense and sprint away from the back of it with astonishing ease.

Early in the fourth quarter, the announcements noting school and ACC records started, and once they started they never stopped, much like the Tech offense.

The numbers looked like those compiled by eight-man football teams. Tech amassed 604 rushing yards and 768 total yards, averaged 41 yards per reception and averaged 13.5 yards on its 57 plays from scrimmage.

“That might, in effect, be the downfall of what we did because we got schemed,” Shealy said.

Johnson figured because what Kansas did a year ago worked, the Jayhawks would try it again. He figured right and ditched a couple of key menu items — veer-option schemes and a fullback-based dive, according to Shealy — and

Mayweather controversially KO’s Ortiz

FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR., RIGHT, is pinned by Victor Ortiz during their WBC welterweight title fight Saturday in Las Vegas.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — In just one round, Floyd Mayweather Jr. got a head butt, a kiss and a hug from Victor Ortiz.

He responded with a right hand that ended a bizarre fight early.

Mayweather remained unbeaten and did it in emphatic fashion Saturday night, stopping Ortiz at 2:59 of the fourth round to take the piece of the welterweight title Ortiz brought into the ring.

The end came just as the two fighters emerged from a break, in which Ortiz had embraced Mayweather in the center of the ring. As they broke, Mayweather shot out a left hand and followed it with a right that put Ortiz down in his corner.

Ortiz struggled to get up as referee Joe Cortez called an end to the fight.

“We touched gloves and we were back to fighting and then I

threw the left and right hand after the break,” Mayweather said.

“In the ring you have to protect yourself at all times.”

The round was already controversial, as Ortiz appeared to head butt Mayweather intentionally, leading Cortez to take a point away from him. After the head butt, Ortiz went to Mayweather and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

Seconds later they were in the center of the ring ready to re-

sume action when two punches ended it quickly.

“I took the break by the referee and I obeyed exactly as I was told,” Ortiz said. “And then, boom, he blindsided me.”

“He did something dirty when it was his corner who said I was dirty,” Mayweather said. “But I won the fight.”

Mayweather later engaged in a verbal confrontation with HBO announcer Larry Merchant.

BRIEFLY Sporting K.C. falls in physical match SANDY, UTAH — Nat Borchers scored on a header in the 54th minute and Real Salt Lake won its fourth straight match with a 1-0 victory over Sporting Kansas City Saturday.

Salt Lake (14-7-6) is in third place in the Western Conference behind Los Angeles and Seattle.

Salt Lake had been struggling offensively until Kyle Beckerman sent a free kick into the penalty box as Borchers streaked toward the right post and Borchers drove the ball home.

It was a physical match from the start.

By halftime, Sporting Kansas City and RSL combined for 18 fouls and a pair of yellow cards.

USA-Canada ends in draw KANSAS CITY, KAN. (AP) — The United States had hoped for a winning return to international competition after the bitter disappointment of losing the World Cup final to Japan on penalty kicks.

The Americans had to settle for extending their long unbeaten streak against a familiar opponent.

Abby Wambach converted an early penalty kick, and the

U.S. drew with Canada 1-1 after Melissa Tancredi equalized late in the first half Saturday.

Canada ended a sevenmatch losing streak to the U.S. in Jon Herdmann’s coaching debut. Still, the Americans — whose coach, Pia Sundhage, began experimenting with a one-forward system only this week — ran their unbeaten string in the series to 23 matches.

Royals extend winning streak to seven The Associated Press

American League Royals 10, White Sox 3 KANSAS CITY, MO. — Mike Moustakas hit his third home run in four games and Jeff Francoeur hit a three-run homer and the Kansas City Royals beat the Chicago White Sox Saturday night for their seventh straight victory.

The winning streak is the Royals’ longest since winning seven consecutive Sept. 13-18, 2008. The White Sox have lost seven in a row, matching their longest losing streak of the year.

Moustakas, who had three hits, homered in the fifth with Eric Hosmer, who had doubled, aboard. Moustakas and Salvador Perez singled in the fourth, and both scored on Alcides Esocbar’s triple.

Francoeur hit his 19th home run in the eighth with Melky Cabrera and Hosmer on base.

Perez and Cabrera each contributed three singles to the Royals’ 18-hit attack. Alcides Escobar doubled and tripled and drove in two runs.

KANSAS MEN’S BASKETBALL

Fans, followers lift Anderson’s spirits

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

John Young/Journal-World Photo

FREE STATE’S KAIN ANDERSON COMPETES in the Baldwin Invitational. Anderson finished second overall in 16:02.28 in the 5K race. The Free State boys placed third on Saturday in Baldwin.

BALDWIN INVITE

Kansas University basketball fans who follow Braeden Anderson on Twitter and Facebook have helped lift the spirits of the fallen freshman with their supportive posts the past couple of days.

“I loved it. I loved it (reading messages). It has really helped me,” said Anderson, a 6-foot-8 power forward from Okotoks, Alberta, Canada, who learned Friday he had been ruled ineligible to be on scholarship at KU. The NCAA Clearinghouse on Wednesday actually deemed Anderson to be a partial qualifier, which would make him eligible for financial aid and possibly earn the right to practice second semester but not play in games.

However, Big 12 Conference policy requires all partial qualifiers to be approved by the league’s faculty athletic

representatives. Anderson’s case was not approved for aid. Therefore, he will not attend KU and soon will be leaving town.

“I mean, it does make me feel good ... but it just makes me want to be here even more,” Anderson added.

Downtrodden Anderson over the fact he can’t afford to pay his own way to remain at KU as a walk-on, Anderson issued a poignant message on Facebook Saturday, telling his followers, “I just want to come home (to Okotoks),” those words followed by a backward smiley face.

Asked if that’s how he truly felt, Anderson, whose mom and six siblings reside

in Canada, said: “I want to do that, but I can’t. I have to keep fighting to figure out how to get back (to KU someday).”

He said prep school was not an option since he attended a prep school (Wilbraham and Monson in Massachusetts) last year. Junior college could be in his future.

“That may be what I have to do, but that is kind of the last resort right now,” he said.

“I have definitely thought about that. I wouldn’t mind staying in Kansas,” he added of perhaps playing ball at a juco in the Sunflower State, earning a degree and perhaps resurfacing at KU in a couple of seasons.

He also could enroll at a college in a conference that accepts partial qualifiers, such as Conference USA. Trouble is, it’s awful late to enroll and start attending classes at any school.

As Anderson ponders his options, he’ll likely re-read

some of the posts on Twitter and Facebook, such as ... ! “Jayhawk nation loves you. We look forward to the day you can come back and wear the Crimson and the Blue.” ! “The NCAA screwed you. Just keep that head up and know the good Lord has got your back.” ! “Don’t give up on the dream. It is just an obstacle.” ! “Thinking about you Braeden and keeping you in my prayers.” ! “Big shout out to Braeden Anderson. The situation isn’t good now, but keep your head up, young sir. Things will work out.” ! “I really feel for Braeden Anderson, one of the nicest and humblest guys I have ever met.”

Noted Anderson: “I’m thankful. I’ve said about everything I want to say on Twitter,” he added of his simple post, “Speechless,”

rived because you can’t until you hold that Lombardi Trophy.”

The Lions have one playoff victory since winning the 1957 NFL title.

Kansas City capped the 1969 season by beatK.C. AT ing MinneDETROIT sota in the Super Bowl and won a When: noon few playoff today Where: Detroit games in the 1990s.

TV: CBS (cable The Chiefs chs. 5, 13, won 10 205) games last Line: Lions by year, matching their 71⁄2 combined total of victories from the previous three years, and got routed in their last two games, including in a wildcard loss to Baltimore.

Coach Todd Haley has come under some criticism for the way he ran training camp following the lockout, rarely putting players in pads early on in the hopes they would be healthy and fresh.

So far, the plan has backfired.

The Chiefs went winless in the preseason, a fact that became possibly relevant when the Buffalo Bills beat them 41-7 on their home field in the season opener. Haley took “100 percent responsibility” for the team not being ready to go, but backtracked a few days later.

“I don’t think I blame myself or my preseason approach,” Haley bristled. “I feel very good and felt very

good about the preparation through training camp.”

Compounding the loss to Buffalo that Haley called “embarrassing, humility,” was losing Pro Bowl safety Eric Berry to a seasonending knee injury. Kansas City will attempt to fill the void with Sabby Piscitelli and Jon McGraw, a pair of journeymen, but Stafford insisted he’s not expecting to pick on them by sending Calvin Johnson and Co. over the deep middle.

“This is the NFL, everybody can play,” Stafford said.

Jamaal Charles proved he could perform last season, following a 2009 by running for nearly 1,500 yards to rank No. 2 in the league with a staggering 6.4-yard average per carry. But against the Bills, Charles ran for just 56 yards on 10 carries and fumbled to set up a field goal for Buffalo.

Charles, though, is one of the players who boost Haley’s confidence that the season-opening performance was an aberration.

“The core group of these guys is still here that everyone said last year that we weren’t capable of winning more than five or six games,” Haley said. “That is a lot of the same stuff for us and that is part of the life in the NFL as a developing team.

“We are a young, developing team that is just trying to get a little better. We have not arrived. We hadn’t arrived last year when we won 10 games. We were still kind of a team that was getting better and found a way to win some games.”

followed by “Appreciate the love and support from Jayhawk Nation.”

The Big 12 faculty reps, by the way, do not comment publicly on their rulings. Schools in the Big 12 can accept an unlimited number of partial qualifiers, but their cases must be approved by the reps. !

Austin update: Waverly Austin, a 6-foot-11, 250-pound sophomore from Palm Beach State College in Florida, likely will make a recruiting trip to KU for the Oct. 14 Late Night in the Phog, Rivals.com reports. Austin is originally from Fredericksburg, Va. He has heard from KU, Washington, Oklahoma, Texas, South Florida, West Virginia, Arizona State, South Carolina and others.

“I’m looking for a program that has an up-tempo offense where I can come in and contribute immediately,” Austin told jucorecruiting.com.

Anderson, Robinson pace FSHS boys, girls cross country teams

By Corey Thibodeaux

cthibodeaux@ljworld.com

BALDWIN — When senior Kain Anderson found out his Free State High cross country team finished third in the boys and girls races on Saturday at the Baldwin Invitational, he repeated one word.

“Nice,” he said. “Nice.”

Free State had a satisfying invitational, finishing behind Shawnee Mission West and Saint Thomas Aquinas in the two races.

Anderson finished second overall with a 16:02 in the boys 5K. Senior Lynn Robinson finished second overall for the girls with a 15:13 in the 4K. Anderson and Robinson, along with a majority of their teammates, set drastic personal bests. Anderson set a 20-second personal record, while Robinson shaved 38 seconds off of her PR set back in her first race as a freshman.

“The weather was perfect for running with the light rain,” Robinson said. “It was awesome.”

This breakthrough, rain or not, was prime to happen at some point for the Firebirds, Anderson said. Since The running is weather such a menwas perfect tal sport, for running coach Steve Heffernan with the doesn’t call light rain. It out runners for poor perwas aweformances. some.”

“We try to stay positive — Free State senior about everyLynn Robinson, who finished sec- thing, and it has helped ond overall in the so much,” girls 4K race Anderson said.

The day’s s u c c e s s trickled all the way down the roster. Six runners on the boys side broke 18:00, which was a welcome surprise to the team. Anderson said it was hard to put his feelings into words.

“We deserve all of this because we’ve been working so hard,” he said.

The girls finish was even more impressive since they have only two veterans on varsity, Robinson said.

“We’re extremely young,” she said. “They don’t really know what they’re doing quite yet, but I’m so happy that we got third.”

The Firebirds are pleased with where they are at this point in the season. Heffernan just wants it to continue for the rest of the season because FSHS looks like it can make a push for the Sunflower League crown.

“We always talk about the season being long, and we want to run our best in October,” he said. “But we’ll certainly run fast in September if we can.”

“

DETROIT (AP) — The Detroit Lions have almost forgotten what it is like to lose.

Oh, how times have changed.

Detroit hasn’t had a setback since Dec. 5, 2010, following one of the worst stretches of failure in NFL history.

The Lions won at Tampa Bay in Week 1 to maintain the momentum built from an undefeated preseason and a four-game winning streak to close last season.

“We’re at a different point with our team,” Detroit coach Jim Schwartz said. “It has been a while since we’ve had a loss, so we’re starting to get used to dealing with winning.

In the past, it was, ‘How do we deal with a loss?’ And, we got pretty good at doing that.

A little too good.”

The Lions have been the league’s laughingstock for much of this century, hitting rock bottom with the NFL’s first 0-16 season just three years ago. After beating Kansas City on Dec. 23, 2007, they lost 19 straight in a stretch that included just four wins in 45 games before getting in a groove in the final month of last season.

Detroit is regarded as a team on the rise, getting favored by more than a touchdown — for the first time since 2000 — at noon today at home against the Kansas City Chiefs.

“You don’t look at them like the old Detroit Lions,” Chiefs safety Kendrick Lewis said.

The Lions have turned around their franchise with wise draft picks such as quarterback Matthew Stafford,

Lawrence High’s soccer team blanked Junction City, 5-0, on Saturday at the Lions’ field.

Gavin Fischer, Robert Lyan, Johannes Reiber, Justin Riley and Zach Wustefeld scored for LHS (2-2-1).

Riley’s goal came off a shot from 30 yards out, into the upper corner of the net for the Lions.

BALDWIN CITY — Baker University’s football team improved to 3-1 with a 31-7 victory over Central Methodist on Saturday.

John Babb finished as the Wildcats’ top rusher with 12 carries for 109 yards and a touchdown. Quarterback Jake Morse finished 18-for-29 with 183 yards and a TD. Ryder Werts led the defensive effort with 16 tackles, while Madison Morris and Steven Sanders each chipped in with timely interceptions.

“I pulled Ryder aside late in the game and said, ‘You sure are a field general now,’” Baker defensive coordinator Jason Thoren said. “The guy has played great each and every week. He’s a heck of a football player.”

Babb broke free on a 57yard touchdown run with 6:26 to go in regulation, and Jake Morse capped it with 4:32 remaining on a one-yard TD draw.

Baker will return to action Saturday when it travels to No. 7 Missouri Valley College.

Kickoff is set for 6 p.m.

CHICAGO —Kansas University’s volleyball team just keeps winning tournaments.

The Jayhawks swept DePaul on Saturday to win their third tournament of the season before Big 12 Conference play starts. KU won, 25-18, 25-12, 25-23, behind stellar play from tournament MVP/ senior outside hitter Allison Mayfield.

KU also defeated Valparaiso earlier Saturday, 25-18, 2729, 21-25, 25-16, 15-10, en route to the title.

The DePaul Invitational marked the 10th pre-conference tournament title for KU coach Ray Bechard.

At 11-1, Kansas stands one victory shy of the program’s best start under Bechard (121, 2002). The school’s bestever start was a 15-1 mark to begin the season in 1991.

“We didn’t start game one great and didn’t end game three great,” Bechard said.

“But in four pre-conference tournaments, we’ve won three championships. We know the areas we need to work on, and I feel like we’ve positioned ourselves pretty well to get started in Big 12 play.”

Mayfield paced the Jayhawk offense — she had a nine-kill, .818 attack percentage effort in set two — en route to 17 total kills. The senior averaged nearly five kills per set over the weekend and took home her third tournament MVP this season.

Third-year sophomore middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc collected her fourth straight all-tournament-team award. Jarmoc swung for a team-best .424 attack percentage while racking up 14 blocks. Against DePaul, Jarmoc connected on eight kills and four blocks.

Kansas will begin Big 12 play with a trip to face No. 8 Texas on Saturday in Austin, Texas. The match is set for 4 p.m.

BRIEFLY Henrickson tourney attracts 200 More than 200 people came out to support the Kansas University women’s basketball team and the Lawrence Memorial Hospital Breast Center on Saturday afternoon for the seventh-annual Bonnie Henrickson Golf Tournament at Alvamar Golf Club.

The four-person scramble tournament included about 160 golfers. Proceeds from an auction went to benefit the Lawrence Memorial Hospital Breast Center.

“This is always a great day to spend with our fans,” said Henrickson, who is beginning her eighth season at Kansas.

BIG 12 ROUNDUP

Oklahoma defense holds FSU in Top 5 battle Kansas State 37, Kent State 0 MANHATTAN — Kansas State didn’t need any late-game heroics this time.

David Garrett returned an interception 45 yards for a first-quarter touchdown, Collin Klein dazzled with his legs, and the Wildcats beat penalty-prone Kent State for their first shutout in more than five years.

Kansas State, which needed a touchdown pass by Klein in the closing minutes two weeks ago to beat Eastern Kentucky, had no such trouble with the Golden Flashes. The Wildcats scored on five of six first-half drives to build a 34-0 lead, then coasted through an uneventful second half.

They’ll carry some momentum into a high-profile showdown at Miami next weekend.

The Associated Press

No. 1 Oklahoma 23, No. 5 Florida State 13 TALLAHASSEE, FLA. — Kenny Stills reached high to grab a 37-yard touchdown pass from Landry Jones midway through the fourth quarter for the tiebreaking score, and Oklahoma’s defense made the lead stand as the top-ranked Sooners beat No. 5 Florida State on Saturday night.

Javon Harris picked off two passes for the Sooners (2-0), who forced three turnovers and harassed both Florida State quarterbacks all night.

The Seminoles (2-1) played the final 20 minutes without starting quarterback E.J. Manuel, who left in the third due to a left shoulder injury.

No. 23 Texas 49, UCLA 20 PASADENA, CALIF. — Case McCoy passed for 168 yards and two touchdowns, D.J. Grant made his first three career touchdown catches, and Texas avenged last season’s stunning home loss to UCLA with a victory over the Bruins.

The Longhorns (3-0) got solid production from two young quarterbacks. McCoy went 12-for-15 without a turnover in his first career start, and freshman David Ash went 3-for-3 in frequent action.

FLORIDA STATE RUNNING BACK CHRIS THOMPSON (23) ELUDES a tackle by Oklahoma linebacker Tom Wort (21) and defensive end Ronnell Lewis (56) during the second quarter Saturday in Tallahassee, Fla. The Sooners’ defense forced three turnovers in a 23-13 defeat of the Seminoles. that was ended in the third quarter because of lightning.

Griffin was 20-of-22 for 247 yards and three touchdowns and ran eight times for 78 yards.

No. 9 Texas A&M 37, Idaho 7 COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS — Cyrus Gray had three touchdowns and 101 yards rushing, Ryan Tannehill threw for 337 yards and two scores in less than three quarters, and Texas A&M shook off a sloppy start for a win over Idaho.

The Aggies had two turnovers in the first quarter, but Idaho didn’t take advantage.

Texas A&M had tacked on 27 points before halftime thanks to two touchdowns by Gray to take a comfortable lead and go on to the win.

Texas Tech 59, New Mexico 13 ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Seth Doege threw for 401 yards and five touchdowns to lead Texas Tech to a victory against New Mexico.

Doege tied a school re-

cord by completing his first 15 passes en route to finishing 40-for-44 — a 90.9 completion percentage, a national record for quarterbacks with at least 40 completions.

Texas Tech amassed 624 yards of offense.

Missouri 69, Western Illinois 0 COLUMBIA, MO. — Henry Josey rushed for three touchdowns and 263 yards while James Franklin threw for three scores as Missouri

overwhelmed Western Illinois.

Missouri (2-1) set a school record with 744 yards of offense and tied a school record for most points scored while holding Western Illinois (12) to just one first down and 44 total yards. That outburst broke the previous record of 665 yards against Kansas in 1949.

The Tigers built a 42-0 halftime lead against the overmatched Leathernecks of the Football Championship Subdivision.

No. 8 Oklahoma State vs. Tulsa TULSA, OKLA. — No. 8 Oklahoma State and Tulsa started their game shortly after midnight, after a rain storm postponed it for nearly three hours Saturday.

Fans at H.A. Chapman Stadium were encouraged to leave the stadium’s seating area and seek shelter on the concourses, at the Reynolds Center basketball arena or in their vehicles just minutes before the game was scheduled to begin at 9 p.m.

Increasingly heavy rain moved over the stadium soon after. The stands were cleared a short time later.

As the rain tapered off, a few thousand fans returned to the stands in anticipation of the game.

NOTEBOOK

Source: Pitt, Syracuse headed to ACC

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

ATLANTA — The ACC late Saturday night called an 8:30 a.m. CT teleconference today, likely to address the addition of Big East schools Pittsburgh and Syracuse, a move that could set off widespread movement in conference realignment.

If it happens, it remains to be seen how the shift would impact Kansas University, though an ACC source told the Journal-World that the talk in ACC country is that

the league has targeted Texas and KU as its ideal 15th and 16th members.

Before coming to Kansas, Chancellor Bernadette GrayLittle worked as the provost at North Carolina and is said to have serious ties throughout the ACC. What’s more, sources have said throughout the past few weeks that GrayLittle has been in the thick of the realignment talk since it began.

Should the Jayhawks head to the ACC, a power-packed basketball conference that already includes bluebloods

Duke and North Carolina, another source told the Journal-World at halftime of Saturday’s 66-24 blowout by Georgia Tech that the league would consider dividing into four-team pods instead of eight-team divisions to make the travel less taxing.

Late Saturday, several administrators within the Big East and ACC had begun talking about the Syracuse and Pitt moves as mere formalities.

If that’s the case, the focus will shift to how the Pac-12, Big Ten and SEC will react.

Miller lone bright spot While the final score might lead some to believe Saturday’s game was ugly from start to finish, that wasn’t the case.

After falling behind 7-0 and 14-7, the Jayhawks tied the game on short touchdown runs by true freshman Darrian Miller, who finished with 53 yards and two touchdowns on 11 carries.

“That’s one guy that I could say stood out,” KU coach Turner Gill said of Miller. “He had some really good runs, has good feet, ran through tackles and was not

gonna be stopped as far as getting into the end zone. I think Darrian Miller definitely gave us a spark.”

Surprise, surprise While the Jayhawks prepared for dozens of different looks in Georgia Tech’s triple-option offense, Gill said the Yellow Jackets ran a couple of plays that the Jayhawks had not seen on film.

One of them was the counter play that went for 95 yards and a touchdown on Tech’s first offensive play.

The other was the belly op-

STATISTICS

Kansas CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

Despite staying close for two quarters — KU trailed just 24-17 at halftime — the Jayhawks helped Georgia Tech rewrite several school, conference and national records with their inability to stop the Yellow Jackets’ ground game.

Not only did Tech set school records for rushing yards and total yards, it also eclipsed the ACC record for rushing yards in a game and helped break a national record for yards per attempt (minimum 50 rushes). Georgia Tech’s whopping 12.1 yards-per-carry snapped the previous NCAA record of 11.9, set by Alabama when it had 748 yards on 63 carries in a rout of Virginia Tech in 1973.

“It’s very frustrating,” KU sophomore cornerback Tyler Patmon said. “It’s one of the most embarrassing games I’ve ever been a part of. It’s so frustrating because it feels just like last year. But we’re determined to not let it be like last year.”

As for how it all happened, the Jayhawks said Georgia Tech outschemed them throughout the day. Despite spending countless hours last week trying to prepare for the Yellow Jackets’ triple-option attack, Gill said his defense encountered several looks it had not seen on film. Beyond that, several Jayhawks said it was as if the Yellow Jackets knew what was coming on most plays and ran the other way.

“They were definitely prepared for it,” Kansas junior safety Bradley McDougald said. “Once they noticed some of the corrections that we made, they just dialed up another play that would go long. They did a great job of playing chess out there.”

Added Patmon: “I think they knew what we were about to do. It got to a point where they were kind of reading our defense and knowing what we were gonna run.”

The GT offense delivered eight plays of 30 yards or more, including four over 50 and a 95-yard touchdown on its first offensive play. While the Jayhawks, behind another strong half from quarterback Jordan Webb, tied the game at 7 and 14, the KU offense just could not keep up with the defense’s inability to slow Tech’s attack.

“It’s definitely hard when you look up at the score, and they’re scoring on first plays and stuff like that,” said Webb, who finished 11-of-19 for 148 yards. “It’s hard to keep any momentum.”

Momentum also cost the Jayhawks defensively, as the Yellow Jackets (3-0) seemed to operate smoothly from start to finish, even with the reserves playing the final quarter or so.

“We couldn’t get ’em out of a rhythm,” Gill said. “They continued to make plays, big plays, and that’s the thing you gotta minimize against any offense but particularly against this one here. They get some big plays on you, and they continue to multiply, and then it’s very, very tough.”

Despite the rough loss, the Jayhawks vowed to not let one bad day turn into five or six bad weeks the way they did a season ago.

“We’ll harp on it for a little bit,” linebacker Steven Johnson said. “But I’m already putting it behind me.”

The Jayhawks (2-1) will host Texas Tech on Oct. 1.

tion play, which Gill said was the one play the Yellow Jackets ran consistently that gave his team the most fits.

“It was just miscues,” McDougald said. “I wouldn’t say they were going after the same guy or anything like that. The option is so hard to defend when you run it to perfection as they do.”

Added cornerback Tyler Patmon: “Some people weren’t reading their keys, and some people weren’t making plays, and if you don’t make the plays, that’s a type of offense that’s gonna go for 60.”

Shealy doesn’t buy that KU’s young defense doesn’t have any talented playmakers.

“I think Toben (Opurum) can make some plays.

Steven Johnson can make some plays. Greg Brown had a couple of errors against Northern Illinois, but I still think Greg Brown can make some plays,” Shealy said. “I think Bradley McDougald can make some plays. Do we have some young guys who are struggling a little bit?

Yes, but that’s one of the reasons why we didn’t try to do more in our plan this week.”

KU’s defensive coordinator said that Georgia Tech doing things so different from conventional offenses and in some cases so different from what it has done in the past was a factor in defensive players at times looking “frozen.”

“Fortunately, we don’t have to play a scheme like that (again this season),” Shealy said. “And hopefully Georgia Tech, Army and Air Force are not on the schedule the next few years.”

Not so fast. Syracuse and Pittsburgh are on their way to the ACC, and Texas and Kansas could join them to form a 16-team conference.

Oklahoma wants the Pac-12, but the Pac-12 doesn’t want Oklahoma State, so does that mean Oklahoma goes with its neighbor to the SEC? Or does it mean Oklahoma does the right thing Monday and decides to keep the Big 12 together?

Those questions are as difficult to answer as the riddle that is Georgia Tech’s offense.

Yellow Jackets relish revenge

By Jesse Newell jnewell@ljworld.com

ATLANTA — Georgia Tech’s players made it clear following Saturday’s 66-24 victory over Kansas University that this game had extra significance.

Last year, the Jayhawks defeated the Yellow Jackets, 2825, in Lawrence.

“Coach (Paul) Johnson, one of his favorite quotes is, ‘Revenge is a great motivator for those who care,’” Georgia Tech linebacker Steven Sylvester said. “So we came out here, and we cared today.”

The Yellow Jackets seemed especially miffed by certain comments made by KU’s players.

“We had to listen to them say it was easy last year and they had fun, this and that,” Georgia Tech A-back Embry Peeples said. “So this year, we wanted to show them that last year was a fluke, and the fun that they had was not going to be had today.”

GEORGIA TECH COACH PAUL JOHNSON watches as the Yellow Jackets run wild against KU. Other Georgia Tech players referenced a quote from KU linebacker Steven Johnson that was transcribed from the Jayhawks’ Tuesday news conference.

Here it is: “I’m actually used to their offense, because that’s the offense we ran in high school, and it isn’t too complicated — you just re-

ally have to be sound in your assignments and technique.

They still have a lot of great players out there, so we’ll still have to play the football game. You can’t take them lightly.”

A few Yellow Jackets took issue with their offense being referred to as simple.

“It’s easy to say the offense

is easy when you win,” said A-back Orwin Smith, who had five carries for 157 yards and two catches for 108 yards with two scores. “They won last year, so you kind of expect guys to talk. I don’t really listen to things guys say, because you’re supposed to think positive.

“But our offense is not easy. I can say if I was on defense, I wouldn’t be able to stop it.”

Added quarterback Tevin Washington: “If it’s a high school offense, we just put up 700 yards. So, I mean, if it works at this level, it’ll work at any level, I think.”

Friday night, defensive coordinator Al Groh made his defensive players watch a video of all his team’s breakdowns against KU’s offense last season.

When the film ended, Groh set down the remote and walked out of the room without saying anything.

“We saw that as a challenge. We had been called out,” Sylvester said.

How They Scored First Quarter 12:33 — Orwin Smith 95 run. Justin Moore kick. For the third straight week, the Georgia Tech offense scored on its first play of the game. The run from Smith was the longest in GT history and the second longest play from scrimmage in GT history.

(GT 7, KU 0).

7:09 — Darrian Miller 10 run. Alex Mueller kick. Jayhawks answer GT’s early TD with an 11-play, 72-yard drive that took 5:16.

The drive featured two third-down passes from Jordan Webb to freshman Marquis Jackson. The grabs were the first of Jackson’s career. Miller scored on a thirdand-three play in which he was stopped dead twice but bounced off and then spun away to walk into the end zone. (GT 7, KU 7).

0:06 — Roddy Jones 5 run. Moore kick.

After stalling on their second drive, the Yellow Jackets pinned KU deep and then forced the Jayhawks to punt, giving GT a short field to navigate. Four plays, 44 yards and 1:43 later, the Yellow Jackets reclaimed the lead. (GT 14, KU 7).

Second Quarter 9:03 — Miller 11 run. Mueller kick. The drive spanned 71 yards and 5:35 in 13 plays and featured Miller rushing five times for 28 yards. KU also converted a couple of crucial third downs — one from Webb to Tim Biere and another from Webb to Kale Pick — as the Jayhawks converted their 19th third-down in the last 26 tries. (GT 14, KU 14).

7:32 — David Sims 19 run. Moore kick. The big-play parade continued for the Yellow Jackets as runs of 19, 21 and 45 yards helped GT reclaim the lead with a five-play, 72-yard scoring drive that took just 1:25 off the clock. (GT 21, KU 14).

0:39 — Justin Moore 24 field goal. The KU defense held strong on a fourth-and-one play inside the 10 in which GT tried to draw the Jayhawks offsides and that led to the easy field goal that opened up a 10-point lead for Tech. The drive covered 73 yards in eight plays and 3:09. (GT 24, KU 14).

0:00 — Alex Mueller 28 field goal.

Kansas picked up a late score to cut the gap back to a single touchdown thanks to a couple of penalties by the GT defense. The first, a 15-yard facemask on a run by James Sims set KU up near midfield. The second, a running-into-thekicker penalty negated a miss by Mueller and allowed him to drill the next attempt from five yards closer as time expired on the half. (GT 24, KU 17).

Third Quarter 14:39 — Embry Peeples 63 run. Moore kick. GT started the second half the way it started the first — by scoring on their first offensive play. GT jumped out to a two-touchdown lead in just 11 seconds.

(GT 31, KU 17).

10:34 — Orwin Smith 67 pass from Tevin Washington. Moore kick. Compared to all those that came before it, this one seemed like a long drive. GT went 74 yards in four plays and 2:24 to blow open the game.

Smith ran uncovered down the middle of the field and added to his big day with ease. (GT 38, KU 17).

6:55 — Jones 52 pass from Tevin Washington. Moore kick. Georgia Tech ripped off its third scoring drive of just one play. This one took seven seconds. (GT 45, KU 17).

3:30 — David Sims 21 run. Moore kick.

Yellow Jackets continued to pour it on with a six-play, 74-yard drive that included three more plays of 17 yards or longer. (GT 52, KU 17).

Fourth Quarter 11:44 — Synjyn Days 2 run. Moore kick.

The drive that saw GT go over the 500-yard mark on the ground ended with the fifth different Yellow Jackets player crossing the goal line with a rushing TD. The drive was GT’s longest of the game in terms of plays and time off the clock — 10 plays, 68 yards, 5:23. (GT 59, KU 17).

5:13 — Charles Perkins 3 run. Moore kick. On this drive, Georgia Tech eclipsed school records for total yards and rushing yards. The drive spanned 75 yards and eight plays and took 4:16 off the clock. (GT 66, KU 17).

2:24 — Andrew Turzilli 10 pass from Quinn Mecham. Mueller kick. With the reserves in, KU marched 63 yards in nine plays and 2:41 to prevent the Georgia Tech defense from throwing up the shutout in the second half. (GT 66, KU 24).

BEHIND THE LENS

New ’do sadly a don’t This week, while the rest of the world fretted over the unemployment rate, government debt in Europe and the possible dismantling of the Big 12, I was having a full-tilt tizzy over my crowning glory.

It was a haircut that — through no fault of my wonderful stylist — went horribly, horribly wrong.

The truth is, I have only myself to blame.

I chose to abandon a perfectly good, easybreezy style for a short, high-maintenance do, simply because I felt the compulsion to change something up.

Needless to say, the “do” became a big fat “don’t” three hours afcathy@boomergirl.com ter the blowout.

Impulse. It’ll come back to bite you, sure as the sun will rise in Norman, Okla.

Caecilius Statius, the 200 B.C. Roman comic poet whom I’ve never heard of until five minutes ago, once said, “Grant us a brief delay. Impulse in everything is but a worthless servant.”

Oh, Caecilius. Where were you last Tuesday when I said, “Bangs trim be damned! Chop it all off!”

I have suffered the consequences of unchecked compulsion my whole life. Heck, all you need do is step into my closet to view innumerable pieces of proof: There’s the iridescent purple shrug I purchased in 2009, convinced, for the moment, it would soon become the most versatile staple in my wardrobe.

Tim Forcade/Special to the Journal-World

USING sophisticated computer software, Lawrence photographer Tim Forcade created a wonderful multi-layered panorama photograph by aligning an image from 1970 onto one from 2011. Today, cameras can stitch panoramas in the camera for quick, easy results, while computer programs can provide more control. The photo was included in the “Dear Lawrence” exhibit at the Lawrence Journal-World.

Software still better bet for panoramic images

By Mike Yoder myoder@ljworld.com

I’m noticing how more manufacturers are incorporating panorama stitching in their cameras. It’s a nice feature that enables you to snap a series of pictures as you make a continuous sweep of your camera across a wide scene. After capture, the camera’s internal software automatically arranges the photos in order, detects overlapping details and blends them together in one seamless image. It’s handy for situations where your camera’s wide-angle lens can’t take in everything you want in a scene.

Most major camera manufacturers offer panorama

stitching on select models, although some limit your capture to only three photos. Others that stitch more than three images may reduce image sizes to keep the file small enough to process the panorama in the camera. It’s always best to research individual camera models to determine specifics of their panorama stitching applications. Two sites that I recommend for camera research are www.dpreview. com and www.stevesdigicams.com.

Another way to create panoramas is with computer software. Dozens of options are available, and two sites that list some can be found at www.360rage. com/panorama-soft-

ware.php and http:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Comparison_of_photo_ stitching_applications.

At the Journal-World I use the PhotoMerge application in Adobe Photoshop CS4.

Here are some tips on taking panorama photographs.

1. Use a wide-angle lens, the wider the better, and turn your camera vertically for your picture taking. To produce the best horizontal panoramas, you want to capture as much vertical area as you can to include more of the subject.

2. I recommend setting your focus and exposure Please see LENS, page 8B

Willem de Kooning retrospective opening at MoMA NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Six years in the making, the Willem de Kooning retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art is surely one of the not-tobe-missed shows of the fall season.

Occupying the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entire sixth-floor gallery space, the exhibition brings together nearly 200 paintings, drawings, prints and sculptures that illuminate de Kooningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s restless journey between abstraction and representation during nearly seven decades of work.

The show, opening to the public on Sunday, begins with two charming still lifes that reflect the Dutch-born artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strong academic training and background in commercial art, including one painting he made as a boy of 12.

From there, the clearly organized exhibition tracks his early forays into modernism, including 1920s-era canvases bearing a striking resemblance to the work of Henri Matisse and Giorgio de Chirico.

Gradually, de Kooning discovers his own distinctive style, earning a reputation by age 40 as one of his generationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s artistic greats. His fame was cemented with his first solo show in 1948, comprised of a series of abstract, blackand-white compositions. Yet during that same decade, he embarked on the first of several series of paintings of women, some inspired by his girlfriend Elaine Fried, whom he married in 1943 and who would become a noted artist in her own right.

It is the Woman paintings that are most unmistakably de Kooning, featuring an extraordinarily vivid cast of

â&#x20AC;&#x153;PINK ANGELSâ&#x20AC;? by Dutch-born artist Willem de Kooning.

The piece is part of a retrospective of the artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career at New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Museum of Modern Art, open until Jan. 9. hulking, ferocious women with enormous breasts, wild eyes and deranged grins, painted in luscious swaths of lurid pink, orange and green.

No wonder he once famously said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Flesh was the reason why oil painting was invented.â&#x20AC;?

When the six canvases of the third Woman series were shown together in 1953, they caused a sensation. De Kooning was accused of hating women and reviled by modern art purists for abandoning abstraction.

By reassembling five of the six paintings, MoMA has pulled off something of a coup. Seeing them together makes it clear how silly it is to brand de Kooning a misogynist.

For the paintings are as much about the relationship between figure and field as

they are about female archetypes. He builds both subject and background from the same bold, biomorphic and geometric shapes, obscuring any sharp division between the two. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The landscape is in the Woman and there is Woman in the landscapes,â&#x20AC;? he said of one painting from that era. And right about this time, he moved back into abstraction, this time focusing on features of the urban landscape, including the garbage-strewn sidewalks of downtown Manhattan, where he first rose to prominence as an artist.

The exhibition ends with de Kooningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spare abstract paintings of the 1980s, which feature smooth surfaces and brilliant ribbons of color and are quite unlike anything that came before. These late paintings are controversial, dismissed by some as largely the work of studio assistants due to his decline into dementia.

But John Elderfield, chief curator emeritus of paintings and sculpture, and the guiding force behind the exhibition, believes these â&#x20AC;&#x153;extraordinarily beautifulâ&#x20AC;? works are the result of conscious aesthetic decisions de Kooning was capable of making up until about 1987.

For Elderfield, who retired from MoMA in 2008, the exhibition is truly a labor of love. Born in England, Elderfield came to the U.S. to pursue his art history studies in part because of his youthful admiration for de Kooning, who died in 1997 at age 92.

The show opened Saturday and closes Jan. 9. It will not travel.

manually. If you use auto for these controls, variations in exposure and focus may be noticeable between frames.

I try to locate an important subject in the scene and preset my focus and exposure to that spot. In fact, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good idea to have some subject be the focal point of your image, often something closer to you. Having a dominant subject in your panorama adds interest and helps keep

a wide scene from looking too flat and one-dimensional.

3. Working from either left to right or right to left, shoot a first frame to establish the start of the panorama. Keeping the camera raised and in position, move the camera across your intended subject for each additional shot, overlapping each frame by at least 25 percent. Overlapping is critical because this provides the software with similar visual reference points that will assist in aligning the finished panorama.

4. You can do this technique without a tripod if you

feel you can keep the camera steady and fairly level through all your photos. A tripod makes it easier to stay level and rotate through your shots.

For panoramas on the run, the point-and-shoot models that have stitching programs are pretty competent and of good quality. If you like to be more precise and create larger, elaborate and more controlled panoramas, I recommend going the software route. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Chief Photographer Mike Yoder can be reached at 832-7141.

Memories of a critic Roger Ebert’s autobiography reveals a rich and varied life

By Rick Kogan Chicago Tribune

In his easygoing, candid and altogether charming autobiography, or, as he calls it, “Life Itself: A Memoir,” Roger Ebert fails to mention me: The nights he and I had many drinks on the porch of his house on Chicago’s Dickens Street and elsewhere, the favorable in-print review I gave to one of his early forays into television or the many times he attempted, persuasively but without success, to convince me of the benefits of AA. These are understandable, even wise, omissions, given all that Ebert has to pack into 436 pages and how effectiveMegan Dorei ly he manages to detail that Lawrence High senior, life, which began in relatively Lawrence idyllic youth in Urbana, Ill., as “‘Matched’ by Ally Condie.

Nearing 70 and beset in recent years by a series of maladies and operations that have robbed from him parts of his face and the ability to speak (he was a celebrated conversationalist), eat and drink (he was prodigiously accomplished at both) and to take long walks in foreign cities (London and Venice, most romantically), the Pulitzer Prize-winning film critic and television star has crafted a beautiful book.

His affection for his wife of nearly 20 years and her extended family peppers the book, and his love is palpable: “My life as an independent adult began after I met Chaz.”

He expresses his gratitude for her indefatigable devotion during his operations and rehabilitations, writing: “I was very sick. ... This woman never lost her love, and when it was necessary she forced me to want to live. ... Her love was like a wind pushing me from the grave.”

The other great relationship of his adult life was, of course, with Siskel. Together this unlikely pair — neither possessing, shall we say, conventional TV good looks — partnered in 1975 on a monthly public-TV program called “Opening at a Theater Near You” and created the thumbs up/thumbs down enterprise that made them rich, powPhoto courtesy of Roger Ebert erful and famous.

Men in groups abound on the campus of Westish College, where Chad Harbach sets his brilliant, intensely readable first novel, “The Art of Fielding.”

Its president, Guert Affenlight, besides being a Melville scholar, is the author of a bestselling historical study of “the cult of male friendship in 19th century America. Boys’ clubs, whale boats, baseball teams.” The book’s own version of such a cult is the Westish Harpooners (fittingly, a baseball team named after men in whaleboats), and the team’s interlocking friendships provide a context for Harbach’s main plot, the story of shortstop Henry Skrimshander’s obsessive struggle not only to become the finest infielder ever to play the game but to attain his “one true wish, the wish to be simple and perfect” in all things.

Henry’s particular friends include Schwartz, the team’s catcher and spiritual leader,

who is sleeping with President Affenlight’s daughter, Pella; Henry’s gay mulatto roommate, Owen, who is sleeping with Affenlight; and the rest of his teammates, a spectrum of colorful and surprisingly individualized young men. Hovering over Henry is the presiding spirit of one Aparicio (as in Luis) Rodriguez (as in A-Rod?), a former major-league shortstop whose Zen-like treatise, titled “The Art of Fielding,” is his bible.

But the short, interwoven chapters devoted to these subsidiary stories all lead back to Henry’s quest for perfection.

That quest comes abruptly to a halt when Henry develops a malady that’s something like writer’s block in an outdoor setting: Henry almost kills Owen with a wild throw and is suddenly plunged into a state of Prufrockian paralysis every time the ball comes his way.

His future on the line, the

stands filled with majorleague scouts, he can effortlessly field any ground ball, but he can’t bring himself to fire the ball to first base.

“You couldn’t plan it out beforehand,” he thinks. “You just had to let go and see what happened.”

Instead of letting go of the baseball, he lets go of himself: He quits the team, toys with suicide, stops eating, starts smoking dope, becomes reclusive and listlessly allows Pella to seduce him, thus estranging himself from Schwartz, and eventually from Owen and Pella, too.

Harbach, whose knowledge of baseball is encyclopedic but never ponderous, resists the temptation to which many other baseball writers — Malamud, Roth, Kinsella — have succumbed: to write not a novel but a version of the core baseball myth, the game as a pastoral vision of America, in which the heroes and villains, the fictional

stand-ins for the Babe and the Say-Hey Kid and Shoeless Joe, enact predestined roles.

Instead, Harbach finds analogies in other literary genres: the epic, the picaresque, the coming-of-age story, the selfscrutinizing memoir. Along with Melville, whose footprints are everywhere, he invokes Homer, Eliot, Emerson and Whitman as guides, though never without undercutting it: Affenlight reminds himself, and us, that dwelling on literature rather than life is a futile practice that turns us into jerks.

“The Art of Fielding” possesses a texture and resonance that will remind some readers of David Foster Wallace and Jonathan Safran Foer, but what could have been merely postmodern decoration genuinely enriches Harbach’s narrative. In the end, in an endearingly traditional way, he subordinates the ironic commentaries and the mirroring influences to the tender, funny, poignant story of Henry’s travails and their unexpected resolution.

Folk song inspires novel by Kansan

By Lisa McClendon McClatchy Newspapers

More than a half-century ago, Jimmy Driftwood wrote a song about a man and his horse, “Tennessee Stud,” that told the story of a man’s lost love, travels and adventures with the horse, and eventual happy ending with his sweetheart.

Inspired by the song, Thomas Fox Averill, a professor at Washburn University in Topeka made some travels of his own, to the locations in the song: Tennessee, Arkansas, Texas, Mexico. He took the song and filled in the gaps, rounded out the characters and created a thoroughly enjoyable novel, “Rode,” one that reflects the American spirit of independence and fresh starts, as well as the optimism and belief in the future that may yet lurk beneath today’s cynicism.

The song, and the novel, start out in Tennessee “along about eighteen and twentyfive.” Framed for a murder he didn’t commit by the disapproving family of his sweetheart, Robert Johnson flees on The Stud, the truest, fastest and most valiant horse in the new world, to hear Johnson tell it. He flees his family and his land, and the cabin he built with his own hands.

Aimless, Johnson heads west, with a bounty hunter in pursuit. He encounters a variety of characters along the way, some friendly, some not, some who offer advice like: “Whatever you’re running from, remember that’s what you’ll end up running toward.”

Those words ring true for Johnson in more ways than one, as he becomes an outlaw and a horse thief and even a killer despite having fled false charges of being the very same. And as he rides farther away from his Jo, she is all he can think about and what eventually brings him back.

‘Forbidden Broadway’ opening this week

Mark Leaver/Special to the Journal-World

A KANSAS UNIVERSITY student during the week, Erika O’Shea becomes Lady Titania, Queen of the Fae, every weekend as part of the Kansas City Renaissance Festival.

PART-TIME PIXIE ————

KU student among those who take up absorbing roles in annual Renaissance Festival

By Eric Melin Special to the Journal-World

During the week, you are bound to find fourth-year Kansas University architectural engineering student Erika O’Shea buckled down studying at Learned Hall.

On the weekends, however, she is transported to the 16th century, where she cavorts with all Seelie fairies and holds dominion over the plants, trees and animals of the village Canterbury.

As Lady Titania, Queen of the Fae, O’Shea is one of hundreds of performers who bring to life a myriad of beloved characters at the Kansas City Renaissance Festival each weekend from Labor Day through Oct. 16.

The RenFest has been giving the good people of the Midwest the Renaissance England experience for more than three decades — this year celebrating its 35th anniversary — and is still going strong, opening its village gates to 180,000 visitors each fall.

Growing up in Topeka, O’Shea was one of those visitors, spending field trips and family holidays at the Renaissance Festival. What she remembers most vividly is being transfixed at age 9 or 10 by Robin Hood and his Merry Men battling the evil Sheriff of Canterbury on a narrow plank over the Robin Hood Swill Pond.

Shouldn’t that be the Sheriff of Nottingham, you may ask? Well, that would be true if it were sticking strictly to one legend, but the RenFest is like an amalgam of all 16th century stories wrapped up in one. There’s a little bit of Chaucer’s famous “Canterbury Tales,” some “Robin Hood,” of course, and pieces of Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” thrown in there for good measure.

Enter: O’Shea and the Queen Titania.

“My Lord, King Oberon has taken my changeling child and in retaliation, I enchanted his satyr Puck,” O’Shea says. “My favored attendants and I are vacationing (read: hiding out) in Canterbury while my Lord and I get over our fight.

I have brought with me Cobweb, Moth, Peaseblossom and Mustardseed as my companions and assistants.

Puck is under my control and being watched over by Lokesenna, aka Loki, who was sent by Oberon to keep an eye on things.”

O’Shea has her character down. She has to. Since accepting the role in June after auditions, there’s been fairy rehearsals every Friday night through the summer in preparation for the festival. On Labor Day weekend, RenFest opened, and the queen began her first stretch of 11-hour days — nine of which are spent in character.

A typical day for Titania

includes three Fae Maypole dance shows, multiple fairy blessings to children at her Court in the Wildwood, the Grand Procession Parade, games and stories in the Enchanted Realm, the Last Huzzah dance and fairy revel, and a bit of gypsy revel outside the gates. Besides making sure her costume is clean and accoutrements all gathered, O’Shea prepares by resting her mind and hydrating her body.

“Being that the fair is located in Kansas (I mean ... Canterbury), the weather is quite unpredictable,” she says. “Forgetting to bring cold weather gear on a snowy day — yes, it’s happened — or not drinking enough fluids before a scorcher can be unpleasant, to say the least. Our job is to create a story, an image; a real living, breathing village.

If I am not at the top of my game, I can’t do that well.”

Jim Stamberger, otherwise known as The Maestro, is the Renaissance Festival’s entertainment director. He says that the goal of the festival is to get their audiences to leave their troubles at the door and escape into their village “imaginarium.” As the festival’s tagline says, “Where else can you feast like royalty, dance like gypsies, ride an elephant, quaff an ale with colorful villagers, shop among 165 skilled artisans and watch noble knights joust for honor all in the same day?”

Above all, Stamberger is looking for “charming, outgoing folks” to fill out his cast. The Queen of the Fae in

particular, he says, must “be striking with a lovely smile and a love for children. And our Queen this year is all of that.”

She always knew she wanted to be involved in the festival somehow, so last year O’Shea worked as a henna artist at one of the Renaissance Festival’s shops.

It seemed like a good place to start, but it didn’t take her long to realize that what she truly wanted to do was be in the actual cast. The challenge this year was figuring out how to stay in character all day long, while interacting with other cast members and patrons.

O’Shea says there are designated break areas you can go to if you must break character, but staying in the mind of the Queen Fairy for nine hours a day isn’t as difficult as you might think. “Once you slip into the mind of your person (or Fae creature, as it were) it comes somewhat naturally,” she says. “It is fairly wearing on the mind to keep switching from your own personality to another back and forth, so I tend to try to keep it going.”

That’s the key for all the dedicated performers at RenFest each year. For 35 years, the cast has created the ultimate 16th century escape in the form of a village that surrounds and envelops you. It’s as much fun for the actors as it is for the visitors.

To hear O’Shea talk, there is true magic in the air.

“Unlike a movie, or even stage performance, you can actually walk through the scene. You can smell

the autumn wind blowing through the trees. You can see the sun shining off of armored knights. You can hear the singing and dancing that lurks around every corner,” she says. “Characters that you thought you would never interact with directly talk to you about their lives.

Everything feels real.”

With four actors and more than 60 costumes and wigs, “Forbidden Broadway” hits the Theatre Lawrence stage starting Friday.

In this long-running hit, Broadway’s greatest musical legends meet Broadway’s greatest satirist in a hilarious, loving and endlessly entertaining tribute to some of theater’s greatest stars and songwriters.

Featured performers are Kayla Motley, Melia Stockham, Bruce Douglas and Patrick Kelly, under the direction of Terrance McKerrs, the Saricks Family Visiting Artist.

Showtimes are 7:30 p.m.

Keep careful watch for stinging stowaways ————

Change in season motivates striped bark scorpions to seek refuge indoors Even I was surprised when a local homeowner walked in with a scorpion.

“Found him in my basement,” the rural Douglas County man tells me.

Apparently Mr. Scorpion was hanging out with some spiders that I later learned are scorpions’ primary food source.

The scorpion in question turned out to be the native Kansas species, Centruroides vittatus and is also known as the striped bark scorpion.

KOVEL’S ANTIQUES

Refinishing vintage furniture may be best, worst thing for your investment

By Terry Kovel

Original finish on antique furniture is not always a plus. Sometimes the furniture is so worn and scarred, it is too unsightly for the living room. Should it be refinished? If it is a rare 18th-century piece, be sure to make a decision with the help of a furniture expert who likes antiques. A good refinishing job may add thousands to the value. A bad job adds nothing. If the furniture was made in the 19th, 20th or even 21st century, it could be refinished to fit in with the new furniture in your house or it could be given a new look. Repainted wicker furniture, white-painted “cottage” furniture, round flip-top tables recently carved with a scalloped edge and armoires reworked into cabinets to hold a television set or sound system are sold at shops. No one is fooled by the new look, but the piece sells because it is useful and “fits in.” Collectors consider these pieces attractive furniture, not antiques.

At a Conestoga auction in Manheim, Pa., in June 2011, a blanket chest was up for sale. The description was “19th-century blanket chest having 20th-century polychrome paint.” The colorful

Q:

I have a very old blue and white patterned platter, 20 by 15 1/2 inches, with flowers and vines around the edges. I was told it’s from my mother’s family. It has a scene in the center with one couple sitting and one couple standing by a lake.

A: J.H. Singer sold games and novelties from about 1890 until the early 1900s, when the company went out of business. Your “Game of Dr. Busby” was made in the early 1890s.

William Adams & Sons was founded in 1769 in Staffordshire, England. The company became part of the Wedgwood Group in 1966. From the 1820s to the 1860s, several Staffordshire potteries made dishes decorated with transfer-printed scenes.

Q: I have a game called “Game of Dr. Busby” by J.H. Singer of New York.

It’s in the original box with playing cards, spinner and directions. It was given to my late husband in 1952 when he was 2 years old.

The ads for these “centerpiece bowls” said they were dualpurpose: to hold flowers or, without the lid, to serve fruit or salad. The largest of the containers were oval, about 17 inches in length. In 1927 this type of bowl cost $230.

Wife needs to tell husband about frustration level

Dear Annie: My husband is cold and distant. We have been married 20 years, and if his behavior doesn’t change, this soon-to-be “empty nester” will fly the coop. ‘‘Clive” has always been the quiet type, but for the past 15 years, he’s made it clear that he doesn’t want to do any socializing, including going out with friends or family. He gets along great with his siblings, but won’t entertain them.

If we go out anywhere in public, Clive won’t walk near me. If I ask for his opinion, he tells me to quit nagging. If he doesn’t get his way, he pouts.

If I try to have a conversation, he says, “I don’t want to talk now.” Of course, then he gets angry when he isn’t up to date on the latest family events. I compliment him on the work he does around the house, but I never receive any compliments in return.

In the evenings, I often see him jotting things down on a list, but if I ask about it, you’d think I was asking him to divulge government secrets.

Clive has built a fortress around himself. Our children are heading off to university soon, and I can’t tolerate this behavior much longer. I have kept my sanity by creating my own social networks, interests and activities that do not involve him. What should

Annie’s Mailbox

pared down our belongings because I was constantly exhausted and everything seemed to have sentimental value. So I rented a storage space and piled things there.

The problem is, I didn’t know the pile included the sympathy cards and contributions. I finally found the energy to go through the storage space and discovered the thank-you cards I never wrote and the checks that anniesmailbox@comcast.net were never cashed.

What do I do? Should I I do? — Tired of Being Out- return the expired checks? side the Fortress How can I possibly thank them now? — Arizona Dear Tired: You need to ask yourself if you still love Clive, and whether you are better off with or without him. After 15 years of fortress life, we can understand your frustration. Does he know you are ready to walk out when the kids leave home?

Please tell him. He might be receptive to counseling if you explain that the marriage is in serious jeopardy. You have nothing to lose by trying.

Jane Lynch hosts the 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards (7 p.m., Fox). Nancy O’Dell, Mark Thompson and Amanda Byram host “Countdown to the Emmys” (6 p.m., Fox) for those who can’t wait to see the arriving celebrities and their expensive frocks.

The hosting gig should allow Lynch, an accomplished comic actor and improviser, to transcend her rather two-dimensional role as coach Sue on “Glee.” And Lynch is smart enough to avoid depressingly predictable jokes about Snooki and Charlie Sheen.

Look for the festivities to honor shows past and hype series yet to air. Presenters include Ashton Kutcher, whose stint on “Two and a Half Men” begins Monday, and Zooey Deschanel, soon to be seen in the Fox comedy “New Girl.”

Will Arnett will be on hand, perhaps to receive an Emmy for his work on “30 Rock” and certainly to plug his new series “Up All Night.” Look for stars of returning series, including Julianna Margulies (“The Good Wife”), Amy Poehler (“Parks and Recreation”) and Sofia Vergara (“Modern Family.”).

Produced by Ice-T, “Planet Rock: The Story of Hip-Hop and the Crack Generation” (9 p.m., VH1) explores the ways that the crack epidemic of the mid-1980s affected music and how the media and political reaction to the drug scourge fostered societal changes that were reflected and all but institutionalized into hip-hop culture. Interviews include Snoop Dogg, Cypress Hill’s BReal, and the Wu-Tang Clan’s RZA and Raekwon.

Crack is hardly the first drug to influence or even define a musical era. Frank Sinatra did not call himself a “saloon singer” for nothing. The impact of heroin on jazz artists has been well explored, as has the “psychedelic” rock sound arising from experimentation with LSD and marijuana. “Crack Generation” argues that the government reaction to that epidemic dwarfed all previous anti-drug crusades and has left the United States with the largest and the most disproportionately black prison population in the world.

Tonight’s highlights

On two helpings of “The Good Wife” (CBS): Sarah Silverman (7 p.m.), the second time around (8 p.m.).

The Falcons host the Eagles on “Sunday Night Football” (7:15 p.m., NBC).

Survivors discuss their ordeals on “Will to Live” (7 p.m., TV One).

Scheduled on “20/20” (8 p.m., ABC): lost in the woods.

“Masterpiece Mystery!” (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings) presents “Inspector Lewis, Series IV: Wild Justice.”

A polar bear blocks traffic on “Ice Road Truckers” (8 p.m., History).

Walt’s absences frighten his family on “Breaking Bad” (9 p.m., AMC).

Sunday series Help for the Dickinsons on “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” (7 p.m., ABC) ... A fugitive finds a novel way to escape on “CSI: Miami” (9 p.m., CBS).

EVEN VIDEO! WorldClassNEK.com

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Sunday, Sept. 18: This year, you open up to some dynamic changes. Sometimes your fuse erupts, pointing to frustration and a need to deal with your feelings differently. The unexpected occurs within a relationship. You might be uncomfortable at first, but ultimately a new attitude and closeness develop. If you are single, don’t decide that this is “it” just yet.

Give yourself a year with this person before making a commitment. Gemini pushes you into the limelight.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Your creativity cooks up some very enticing plans that no one seems to be able to say “no” to. A partner or someone you deal with could express a great amount of anger and/or frustration.

Tonight: Frisky like a colt.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Indulge a child or family member. Share a hobby or a project with a child or loved one. Tonight: Cook a favorite meal.
