Say hello to our new Sunday A&E section

S

everal months ago, we decided it was time to bring to you, the reader, an exciting new section of the JournalWorld that delivers more news about Lawrence’s vibrant arts and entertainment scene.

The result is what you’re holding in your hands: Lawrence.com. In print.

This isn’t a reincarnation of the old Deadwood edition that many readers may remember fondly. And this section is not an exact mirror of the Lawrence.com website.

This new section’s purpose is to tell you about the most interesting events in Lawrence and throughout the area, highlight the local restaurant scene, explore the artists and innovators that excite our senses, and bring you more information to whet your cultural palate.

In this inaugural edition, we profile Monika Laskowska and printmaker Patrick Vincent, the Lawrence Arts Center’s talented artists in residence. And John Phythyon takes a look at the fall theater season, which includes Theatre Lawrence’s “The Sound of Music” and the Kansas University’s “The 39 Steps.”

And be sure to check out our fall arts guide, something we think you’ll want to hang on to as the leaves turn color and the best of fall’s arts and entertainment events approach.

Ceramist, printmaker to work, teach during year in Lawrence

By Sara Shepherd

ver the next year, a Polish ceramist and a Minnesota printmaker will live, work and share their crafts in Lawrence.

Not only does the Lawrence Arts Center’s Artists in Residence program provide a chance for these artists — both fresh out of graduate school — to build their bodies of work and segue into the professional world, it also gives Lawrence community members an opportunity to learn from their expertise.

Arts Center Executive Director Susan Tate says the annual residency programs have become key to the center’s three mission areas: contemporary exhibition, performance and arts education.

Both of this year’s artists have won extensive honors for academic and artistic work, and assembled impressive numbers of exhibitions, Tate says, “but it was their desire to be part of a creative community as working artists that caught our attention.”

‘It’s going to be formidable’

Baldwin City resident hired to make new drum for Chiefs

U.S. Census gives annual snapshot of Lawrence ———

Numbers provide glimpse of who we are, what we earn and how we live

CYRUS FILLMORE, OF BALDWIN CITY, rests on a giant drum he’s making for the Kansas City Chiefs. The football team, for its 50th anniversary season, wants to revive an old tradition of using a jumbo tom-tom to rev up fans. Fillmore has been building drums and other instruments for two decades.

For its 50th season, team hopes to rock Arrowhead Stadium the old-school way

By Sara Shepherd sshepherd@ljworld.com

In 20 years of building drums, Cyrus Fillmore — aka Cy the Drum Guy — has made some pretty big ones.

American Indian grandfather drums, an Asian dragon drum, African-style bass drums, to name a few.

But the Kansas City Chiefs’ next jumbo tom-tom, which Fillmore is building at his Baldwin

City home, is his biggest drum yet — and sure to be the most-heard.

Fillmore’s new drum is planned to help revive an old Chiefs tradition at 79,000-plus capacity Arrowhead Stadium.

In 1964, the Chiefs introduced an 8-foot-tall drum for gameday entertainment at Arrowhead Stadium. At the time, the instrument was believed to be the world’s largest tom-tom, at least according to Chiefs lore.

“The reverberations of the drum

are rumored to have been heard from blocks away from the stadium when the drum was used to rally fan support,” according to press notes from the team. “The Kansas City Chiefs Cheerleaders, then known as the Chiefettes, were charged with beating the drum to incite excitement in fans.”

For their 50th anniversary season, the Chiefs are reintroducing the drum.

Please see DRUM, page 2A

Lawrence, it is mirror, mirror on the wall time.

No need to go to a fairyland castle to gaze into this mirror, though. The U.S. Census Bureau late last week released a new set of 2011 data for cities across the country. The data provide the most recent estimates for everything from income levels to housing vacancy rates to demographic trends. In general, it is the most comprehensive oneyear snapshot available for large to mediumsized cities across the Lawrence’s country.

But before we start population was gazing, remember that the mirror isn’t perfect. 3.5 percent These numbers are from Hispanic in the American Com- 2007. In 2011 munity Survey project, it had grown and, unfortunately, the sample size used by the to 6.7 percent Census Bureau produces Hispanic. some margins of error that are a little bit high.

I try not to use any statistics that have a margin of error higher than plus or minus 4 percent, but it’s best to view the numbers as ballpark estimates rather than as precise data. In other words, excuse the blurriness of our mirror.

So, let’s gaze away, warts and all.

Household income As you may have guessed, median household incomes have not fared well in the last few years in Lawrence. Technically, median household income fell from $45,471 in 2010 to $43,210 in 2011, a drop of 5.2 percent. But because of that margin-of-error factor, it is tough to get too precise here. But it is safe to say household income has been pretty stagnant.

Here is a look at how we compare to a couple of neighbors and the state as a whole: !"Lawrence: $43,210 !"Olathe: $72,449 !"Topeka: $36,666 !"Kansas: $48,964 Full-time wages You might be able to blame some of Lawrence’s lackluster income showing on those Please see CENSUS, page 2A

Writing’s in his bones: Woodrell’s books rooted in rural life Author’s ‘Winter’s Bone’ selected as Read Across Lawrence book

By Alex Garrison acgarrison@ljworld.com

Daniel Woodrell’s approach to fiction, he says, is to “think of life as a big river and throw your bucket in.” It’s a statement that suits him — connected to place, realistic, rustic. But possibly a little dangerous, and certainly ever-changing.

He coined the term

Very nice

“country noir” to describe his work, and lived to regret it.

He’s written what he calls “straight crime,” particularly evident in his “Bayou Trilogy” collection of early books, and what he calls the Civil War book, “Woe to Live On,” which features Quantrill’s Raid and was made into the 1999 Ang Lee film “Ride with the Devil.”

That last one isn’t quite historical fiction, he says, “because I don’t have an interest in telling you how soap was made.”

But he does have an interest in the Ozarks. After years living elsewhere — including Lawrence — he’s back living 100 feet from where his mother was born.

West Plains, Mo., became an inspirational set-

ting for “Winter’s Bone,” his 2006 novel about young girl living in rural Ozarks country who’s trying to find her meth-addicted father to save their home from a bondsman.

“Winter’s Bone” is the selection for the Lawrence Public Library’s 2012 Read Across Lawrence program.

Drum CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

During pre-kickoff ceremonies at each home game, one honoree will bang the drum to lead fans in the Tomahawk Chop.

At the Sept. 9 home opener, that was retired Chiefs Hall of Famer Bobby Bell.

Fillmore’s drum should be ready to hit the field soon.

After another drum maker referred the Chiefs to Fillmore — “I was like, ‘The Chiefs need a drum?

Sweet,’” Fillmore said of getting the call — Fillmore said he communicated with the team for a few weeks, explaining the process of creating the drum and the timeline. The team approved his proposal and sent him a cattle tank painted red for the frame (he offered to carve the frame out of wood but said the Chiefs wanted a drum that looked like the old one).

pesky college students.

(You know, those pesky people who are the lifeblood of the local economy.) While they spend a lot on adult beverages, loud music and Ramen noodles, they don’t often have full-time jobs, which drags down Lawrence’s average household income. But this statistic factors that out of it.

It measures the average earnings of a male, fulltime, year-around worker.

Well, the news hasn’t been great on that front either.

In 2011, the average was $37,776. That’s down from the $41,142 measured in 2007 before the financial crisis. (In case you are wondering, it would be interesting to compare Lawrence with Manhattan in this category and others, because they are both college communities.

But data for Manhattan weren’t released by the Census Bureau.) Here’s how we compare: #"Lawrence: $37,776 #"Olathe: $60,265 #"Topeka: $41,199 #"Kansas: $43,993

This is seriously the real deal. When it dries, it’s going to be formidable.”

original, Fillmore’s drum — at 5.5 feet in diameter and 2 feet deep — is still nearly as tall as he is.

The new tom-tom is an extra-large version of a traditional American Indian council style drum.

Though the drum isn’t wooden, Fillmore lined the metal with foam to improve the sound. He used two full cowhides, which he stretched for almost a month, and secured the drumheads with rawhide strapping.

To help its sound fill the stadium, the drum has a hole in one side for a microphone.

Fillmore was shaving fur from the drumheads on Friday and expected the leather to be dried and

it ever has been. In 2011, the category accounted for 10.1 percent of all Lawrence jobs. In 2007, it was at 10.7 percent. But the good news is there are signs Lawrence could build a base of these kinds of jobs. Lawrence already has more than several other places in the state.

But here’s a clue that doesn’t get as much attention. Lawrence seems to have a much larger percentage of its workforce in the lower wage service type of jobs than many other cities. Specifically, the category is called the arts, entertainment, recreation, accommodation and food service category.

Energy fair offers bright ideas

By Alex Garrison acgarrison@ljworld.com

Brad Allen likes hybrid cars. But he had never driven fully-electric car until Saturday.

Allen, the director of the Lawrence Public Library, test-drove a purple Mitsubishi i-MiEV with a range of about 60 miles and “some definite get-up-and-go” during an annual energy fair set up by the city and local businesses.

“It was a smooth ride — I felt like it could get some zip,” he said.

Many went to the fair at Holcom Park to get practical information about energy conservation for their homes; events included a threehour workshop on the topic and a bus tour of local homes retrofitted with technology supporting renewables and conservation.

The fair has previously been held downtown but, despite the venue shift, drew about the same number of people.

Veeral Bhatt and Katie Frankhauser, both Kansas University chemical engineering students, were there to raise funds and awareness for their on-campus biofuel production group. Bhatt explained that he’s working on further refining the process for the waste cooking oil the group gets free from KU Din-

The hope is to turn a byproduct of processing that oil into fuel into a base for cleaning products — meaning more chemical recycling and a potential profit for the group.

Frankhauser put it this way: “We just want to contribute to recycling and renewable energy.

That’s the goal.”

ESTÉE LAUDER FREE 7-PIECE GIFT with any $35 Estée Lauder purchase (Worth over $100)

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

Kansans wanting to vote in the Nov. 6 general election and who are not already registered to vote can register through Oct. 16.

“This is always a large turnout” in a presidential election year, said Douglas County Clerk Jamie Shew.

“We always say, check your registration to make sure it’s current,” Shew said. “We have so many voters who vote only every four years, and some have m o v e d around.”

More than 72 percent Shew of registered voters voted in the 2008 presidential election in Kansas, with a nearly 67 percent turnout in Douglas County.

Anyone who has changed addresses since last voting needs to reregister in order to ensure having the correct ballot, Shew said.

In addition to the presidential contest, the Nov. 6 election ballot also features congressional, legislative, State Board of Education, local races and a proposed constitutional amendment that, if approved, will allow the Legislature to classify and tax watercraft on a different basis from other property.

And while voters who went to the polls in the August primaries were required to show a government-issued photo ID, this is the first general election in Kansas where voters must show a photo ID to vote.

Prior to the primary, Douglas County became the first county in Kansas issuing voter IDs as a service.

Shew said he has provided about 50 so far.

LAWRENCE

.

New advocacy group plans forum on proposed rec center Editor’s note: These are excerpts from Chad Lawhorn’s enormously popular Town Talk column that appears on LJWorld.com daily, Monday through Friday. The print edition of Town Talk appears frequently.

A new group called Madre Lawrence is hosting a public forum at 6:30 p.m. Monday at the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vt., to discuss questions surrounding the proposed recreation center.

I believe the event is going to be a bit informal.

I’m not sure city officials have been invited to give a formal presentation at the gathering. Instead, I think Madre Lawrence organizers want to have a free-flowing conversation about what people think of the possibility of a $24 million recreation center on the edge of town.

The event will be interesting enough, but even more so is the formation of this new group. The name — Madre Lawrence — is a bit of a play off of the new group called Cadre Lawrence that has recently formed and become more active at City Hall. We recently wrote about that group and its efforts to get residents more informed and engaged with what’s going on at City Hall.

Madre Lawrence has the same basic goal, but it also aims to highlight another issue — that most of the people who are involved at City Hall are men.

“I think we have a serious problem with diversity at City Hall,” said Leslie Soden, a leader of Madre Lawrence. “The city commissioners, as much as I love those guys, are pretty solidly from one demographic.” !"!"!

Somebody told me the reason women aren’t on the Lawrence City Commission is very simple: They’re too smart to run for that position. Well, we’ll see if they are smart enough to stay away from an issue that involves the never-ending South Lawrence Trafficway.

Actually, this upcoming event may not be too painful. City and state leaders are set to host an open house to discuss plans for a forthcoming interchange at Bob Billings Parkway and the South Lawrence Trafficway. The event is slated from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Monday at the Langston Hughes School Multipurpose Room, 1101 George Williams Way. The Kansas Department of Transportation surprised a few people in April by announcing it had found $17 million in its comprehensive transportation plan to fund a long-talked-about interchange at Bob Billings and the SLT in West Lawrence.

At the time, KDOT leaders said they still would need $2 million either from the city or the county to add community amenities such as bike lanes, an enhanced aesthetic design and such things. I’m not sure the $2 million has been committed by either group yet, so we’ll check in and see what the latest is on that.

But the project is very real. My understanding is

Town Talk

Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

there are survey flags out there, and the state has been in discussions to buy the necessary property from land owners. !"!"!

This, unfortunately, seems like an even safer bet than wagering on my golfing buddy missing a four-foot par putt. (Who are we trying to kid? A four-foot double bogey putt.) The city is betting gasoline is going to become more and more expensive.

As we have previously reported, city officials have been studying converting Eagle Bend Golf Course’s gasoline-powered golf carts over to electric golf carts. Well, they are done studying and have moved into the purchasing phase.

City commissioners last week approved a fouryear contract to lease 62 golf carts and eight utility carts for the Eagle Bend Golf Course at a price of $56,714 per year.

The new electric carts will show up on the course in January.

“I think golfers will notice a difference,” said Mark Hecker, parks superintendent for the Parks and Recreation Department. “They are very quiet. They’re going to produce a very quiet ride.”

How much the new carts will save the city is still a bit of an open question.

Previously the city had estimated anytime gasoline is at $3.25 a gallon or more, the electric carts pencil out positively. No problems there. Hecker currently is estimating about a $13,000 to $15,000 per year savings on fuel for the carts.

But Hecker said the price of the electric carts did come in a bit higher than expected. The cart contract came in about $10,000 higher than the last prices the city received for gasoline carts, but Hecker notes those prices were based on cart prices of about eight years ago. The city didn’t ask for bids on gasoline carts this time, so it is difficult to know how much of a premium the city is paying for the electric carts.

There also are about $35,000 worth of startup

costs to convert the cart system over to electric.

The city had to run a larger power supply to its cart barn in order to accommodate the approximately 20 charging stations.

No word yet on whether the city will have another startup cost to deal with: Speed limit signs.

“Supposedly the electric carts go a little faster than the gas carts,” Hecker said. “So, we’ll see about that.”

No need to worry about my buddy. At 10 yards at a time, he won’t build up much speed. !"!"!

I’ll tell you what is building up with me: a hankering for aisle after aisle of Craftsman tools, products and other goods that will allow me to build everything but a decent golf swing for my buddy.

Well, the Sears sign has gone up near 23rd and Iowa streets, and it appears Lawrence’s new Sears Hometown store is close to opening in the former Rod’s Hallmark Shop at 2329 Iowa.

A good number of the shelves are already stocked. I stuck my head in the door, and an employee told me he believed the store was scheduled to open in about a week.

That’s unofficial word, so take it for whatever you think it is worth. Previously, Sears officials told me they hoped to have the store open by Oct. 10.

The store is pretty good size. I’m uncertain of whether it is taking just the Rod’s Hallmark space or whether it is a little bigger than what that store used to be. It stretches all the way down to the Bed Mart store, and I’m not sure if there was something in between Hallmark and Bed Mart. (I usually just cowered in a corner every time my wife dragged me into Rod’s to watch her buy shopping carts full of Hallmark ornaments.) But the new Sears seemed to have tools, appliances, lawn and garden, and several other items that the larger store carried before it closed its 27th and Iowa location.

In fact, Shew has sent employees to nursing homes to make sure that residents have proper ID to vote.

If they don’t, Shew’s employees will take a photo of the person, process their paperwork and send the Douglas County ID back to him or her.

Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, who was the main proponent of photo ID, says Shew’s system meets the requirements of the law.

“It is a valid, government-issued ID,” Kobach said in August. “The only concerns we would have would be if a governmental unit were issuing the IDs without a requisite checking to ensure that a person was actually establishing who he or she says she is. But we are satisfied that Douglas County is doing that.”

Critics of the statewide ID law have said some

Shew said, “For me, it’s really important to be proactive, to kind of think through who would be impacted and reach out before Election Day.” During the primaries, Shew said 41 provisional

ballots were cast related to lack of identification.

All but 15 of those ballots were eventually counted when voters provided ID later. Of those that weren’t, nine said they had photo ID but were protesting the law and refused to show it.

Hearing on benefit district for garage planned BOTTOM LINE

BACKGROUND

Commissioners will conduct a public hearing to create a special benefit district that would tax downtown property owners to pay for an extra level of parking in the garage next to the renovated Lawrence Public Library.

City officials estimate it will cost about $1 million to add 72 spaces to the proposed 250-space garage that will be built as part of the library expansion project. The benefit district would place a special assessment on the property tax bills of downtown property owners. The assessment

would be figured based on lot size. The special assessments could be paid upfront, or the city would allow them to be paid over a 10-year period. If commissioners approve the special district on Tuesday, downtown property owners will have 20 days to file a protest petition to stop the plan.

Tide shifts to Obama in most competitive states

By Charles Babington and Thomas Beaumont Associated Press

DES MOINES, IOWA — In a presidential race seemingly frozen in place for months, the advantage has shifted toward President Barack Obama after a series of miscues by Mitt Romney, punctuated by the Republican challenger’s comments about people who pay no income tax.

Despite a continuing gray economic sky and unrest in the Mideast, the president has edged ahead of Romney in polls in some of the most competitive states, including Iowa and Virginia, and forced Romney to redouble efforts in Florida and Ohio, without which he has little chance of becoming president.

With about six weeks left before Election Day and early voting under way in some states, Romney faces a problematic map, a ticking clock and a campaign demeanor that has failed to click with many voters.

Obama’s momentum did not come overnight. It built over several weeks

Woodrell CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

I met some key figures there, and school was good for me after I left the Marines. The library there was a revelation — everything I was interested in — old literary magazines, anything — they could find it. It was magical.

I grew up in St. Charles, and then in Johnson County for two years before I fled, so I always knew about the border wars, but it was the KU research library that exploded the Civil War book into my consciousness — to see the letters firsthand and to get a sense for characters.

in which Romney hit some potholes while the president made few errors and benefited from Obama previously unseen advantages in advertising strategy and fundraising.

Weeks of campaigning remain, and the Romney three debates, starting Oct. 3, are the kind of events that could change the momentum again. But the race has bent toward Obama at a pivotal moment, according to public and internal campaign polls as well as interviews with leading Democratic and Republican strategists in the most closely contested states.

“Months of paid media about Romney not caring about people, being out of touch ... it came into complete focus with Romney making the case against

himself,” Democratic strategist Tad Devine, a top aide to past Democratic nominees Al Gore and John Kerry, said about a video that surfaced last week of Romney speaking at a private fundraiser in May. The polls show trouble rising for Romney almost everywhere he looks. He has fallen dangerously behind in Virginia and Ohio, and his ability to close in on Obama in Iowa and Wisconsin is now in doubt.

The polls suggest that Romney must do more than inch his way up in a handful of states. He must win overwhelming shares of undecided voters, maximize the GOP’s turnout, and suppress Obama’s turnout where he can.

GOP officials say it’s too early to count Romney out.

“Maybe he can’t wait forever. But, today, a strong Romney effort offering good policy as opposed to the awful, failed policies of Obama ... will prevail,” said former Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, a past national GOP chairman. “It’s our election to win, and stakes are too high to let it get away.”

DW: I always wanted to be a writer, but I moved to Lawrence when I was 23, and that’s when I decided I’d put all my eggs in this basket and see if I could do it. It took 10 years, but that’s a pretty usual amount of time, it turns out.

I say you should write what you like. A lot of the 30-year-old writers now, they’re not at all bashful about claiming a popular fiction background. That wasn’t the case in my generation — you had to pretend you were laying around reading Proust all the time.

Then be sure you have a feeling for doing it — often, all you get out of it is your own joy. But if you do have a passion for it, that usually means there’s something there, you’ve just got to quest to find it.

The frustration is part of making the pearl.

AG: “Winter’s Bone” is a literary book about some very hard lives. Do you think you help redefine literary fiction so that it doesn’t have to be always haughty — DW: Haughty and without plot? (Laughs.) That’s how some people define literary fiction. But all that’s getting blended around now. To me, it’s like an American form of music. If a jazz man hears a lick from Erik Satie or Strauss or whomever and it fits, they grab it. I just think of writing like that — it’s a big river and you throw your bucket in and pull out what’s there at the time. If I can get a lick from a painter’s attitude or a filmmaker’s, I’ll grab it. I’m completely a magpie that way.

Global protests target fracking PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Demonstrators in the United States and other countries protested Saturday against the natural gas drilling process known as fracking that they say threatens public health and the environment.

Participants in the “Global Frackdown” campaign posted photos on social media websites showing mostly small groups.

But organizer Mark Schlosberg said he thought the protests were going well and pointed to photos showing larger demonstrations in South Africa and France as well as higher turnouts in California, Colorado and New York.

“I think it’s really the communities all over the world coming together to say, ‘We want to protect our water, we want to protect our air, and we want to safeguard our climate future by getting off dirty fossil fuels and saying no to fracking. We need to invest in a renewable energy future,’” said Schlosberg, who is national organizing director for Food & Water Watch, a Washington, D.C., nonprofit that developed the GlobalFrackdown campaign.

The immense volumes of natural gas found by fracturing underground shale rock around the country has spurred a boom in natural gas production that has been credited with creating jobs and lowering prices for industry and consumers.

But scientists disagree on the risks of hydraulic fracking, a process that injects large volumes of water, sand and chemicals underground to break rock apart and free the gas. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and many state regulators say fracking can be done safely, and the American Lung Association says it can help reduce air pollution.

Opponents say the process can pollute water and sicken residents. At a park in Pittsburgh, protesters signed a petition calling for a moratorium on shale gas drilling. In Buffalo, N.Y., demonstrators called upon Gov. Andrew Cuomo to ban hydraulic fracturing.

Kathy Hanratty of Frack-Free Geauga said about 30 to 40 people turned out at a demonstration in the northeast Ohio county, which she said was not bad considering “it’s a small county and a rainy morning.”

“It is an affected area,” she said. “We just had the seismic test trucks go past my house on Monday.”

In Ohio, an injection well used to hold wastewater from the fracking process has been tied to a series of earthquakes in the Youngstown area.

Floating naval base tested in Gulf

By Adam Schreck Associated Press

ABOARD THE USS PONCE — A new, key addition to American-led naval efforts to ensure Mideast oil keeps flowing has emerged as an unusual mix of a ship combining decades’ worth of wear and tear with state-ofthe-art technology and a largely civilian crew.

After winning a reprieve from the scrapyard, the USS Ponce was reborn through a rush retrofit earlier this year and turned into a floating base prowling the waters of the Persian Gulf. It is now getting its biggest workout since refurbishment as the centerpiece for sweeping anti-mine naval exercises under way that serve as a very public warning to Iran. The Islamic Republic has threatened to shut the Gulf’s entrance at the Strait of Hormuz, the route for a fifth of the world’s oil supplies, and would likely use mines to do so.

Anti-mine divers on practice drills deployed in small boats off the Ponce’s stern gate early Saturday, and MH-53 minesweeping helicopters launched from the ship kicked up sea spray as they hauled mine-detecting equipment through the water.

Later in the day, a U.S. destroyer pulled alongside, fighter jets roared past and gunners fired thunderous rounds from .50 caliber machine guns during a simulated encounter with a hostile vessel.

Senior Navy officials in the Gulf are quick to downplay talk of conflict with Iran, which is locked in a dispute with the U.S. and its allies over Teh-

A FRENCH SPEEDBOAT DEPLOYED from the back of the USS Ponce in the Persian Gulf passes by the U.S. Navy’s floating base used to support mine countermeasure operations. More than 30 nations are participating in an exercise responding to simulated sea-mine attacks in international waters. ran’s disputed nuclear program. The West suspects Iran aims to develop a nuclear weapon; Tehran denies the charges.

U.S. military officials in the region insist the exercises, which include forces from more than 30 countries, are defensive and not directed at any country. They prefer to focus instead on the Ponce’s role as an innovative new tool to help ensure security in the region, and on the need to train with allies to keep sea lanes open.

Still, the message is clear.

“Any extremist group, any country that puts mines in the water would be cautioned” by the exercises, said Marine Gen. James R. Mattis, the U.S. Central Command chief, during his first visit onboard the Ponce since it deployed June 1. “We do have the means to take mines out of the water if they go in. We will open the waterways to freedom of navigation.”

Military leaders believe the Norfolk, Va.-based

Ponce is central to that mission.

More than half the length of most U.S. aircraft carriers, the Ponce can accommodate multiple helicopters on deck and small boats in a well deck below.

The ship was originally an amphibious transport dock built at the height of the Vietnam War. Those types of vessels are typically used to carry landing forces of Marines.

It’s now known as the Navy’s first “afloat forward staging base-interim,” a name given because the Ponce is meant to be a stopgap until a similar base built from scratch is delivered. That won’t happen until at least 2015.

“This will more or less act as a test for using floating platforms in the sea for military operations,” Riad Kahwaji, chief executive of the Dubai-based Institute for Near East and Gulf Military Analysis, said of the reconfigured Ponce. “There’ll be a lot of defense industry officials observing the performance of this.”

Ocean of water, not a drop to treat MARINA, CALIF. (AP) — In the Central California coastal town of Marina, a $7 million desalination plant that can turn salty ocean waves into fresh drinking water sits idle behind rusty, locked doors, shuttered by water officials because rising energy costs made the plant too expensive.

Far to the north in wellheeled Marin County, plans were scrapped for a desalination facility despite two decades of planning and millions of dollars spent on a pilot plant.

Squeezing salt from the ocean to make clean drinking water is a worldwide phenomenon that has been embraced in thirsty California, with its cycles of drought and growing population.

There are currently 17 desalination proposals in the state, concentrated along the Pacific where people are plentiful and fresh water is not.

But many projects have been stymied by skyrocketing construction costs, huge energy requirements for running plants, regu-

“

Right now, conservation costs less than desalination.”

— Libby Pischel, a spokeswoman for the Marin Municipal Water District latory delays and legal challenges over environmental impacts on marine life. Only one small plant along Monterey Bay is pumping out any drinking water.

From Marin County to San Diego, some water districts are asking themselves: How much are we willing to pay for this new water?

“We found that our demand for water had dropped so much since the time we started exploring desalination, we didn’t need the water,” said Libby Pischel, a spokeswoman for the Marin Municipal Water District. “Right now, conservation costs less than desalination.”

Desalination plants can take water from the ocean

or drill down and grab the less salty, brackish water from seaside aquifers.

Because of their potential impacts to marine life, the California Coastal Commission reviews each project case-by-case.

Interest is still high, but “people are realizing that desalination isn’t a magic fix to the state’s water issues,” said coastal commission water expert Tom Luster.

Desalination has been around for years in Saudi Arabia, other Arab Gulf states and Israel, which last year approved the construction of a fifth desalination plant. The hope is that the five plants together will supply 75 percent of the country’s drinking water by 2013.

The process also has helped ease thirst in places such as Australia, Spain and Singapore. Experts say it has been slower to catch on in the United States, mainly because companies face tougher rules on where they can build plants and must endure longer environmental reviews.

Parking plan The city’s plan to use a benefit district to fund additional parking near the renovated Lawrence Public Library raises some fairness questions.

I

t makes sense to add 72 spaces to the parking facility that will be next to the renovated Lawrence Public Library, but the funding mechanism for that parking raises some questions.

Parking continues to be at a premium in many parts of downtown, and it will cost less to add 72 spaces during the library renovation than in a separate project later on.

However, the plan to pay for the parking by assessing all property owners in a pretty widely drawn footprint of downtown doesn’t seem exactly fair. The proposed benefit district for the assessment stretches far beyond the Massachusetts Street retail and restaurant properties and takes in residences, churches and other businesses (including the World Company). North of Eighth Street, the district reaches from Kentucky to Rhode Island streets. South of Eighth to South Park, it narrows but still includes all the properties that face on Vermont and New Hampshire streets.

That means it includes all of Watkins Park, on which the city will pay its own assessment, but it also includes a number of churches, Watkins Museum, the Lawrence Arts Center and residences, including the Hobb-Taylor Lofts.

They call it a “benefit district,” because everyone being assessed within that district supposedly derives some “benefit,” from the improvement. In this case, the most obvious benefit is to the city and city residents who visit the new library or the Outdoor Aquatic Center. Next on the list would be retail businesses, restaurants and bars whose customers and employees would use those parking spaces.

After that, it gets more fuzzy. Maybe the churches or residents in the district will derive some benefit, but is that benefit greater than what a taxpayer in some other part of the community would enjoy? And if that’s the case, shouldn’t providing parking for the library or pool or downtown in general be an expense that’s borne by the community as a whole rather than concentrated on downtown property owners?

If a district could be drawn narrowly enough to include just businesses and entities that would directly benefit from the additional parking, benefit district financing would make sense, but city officials say they can’t exclude properties based on their use and they’ve done the best they can to define the right geographic boundaries.

Protesting this plan would require a petition that covers 50 percent of the property owners and 50 percent of the property in the district. That will be a tall order, considering that city-owned property represents about 35 percent of the district’s total area.

So a protest petition is unlikely, but that doesn’t necessarily mean a benefit district is the best and fairest way to pay for this project. Lawrence city commissioners should reconsider this approach before approving the resolution on Tuesday’s agenda to move forward on this plan.

Support for Syrian rebels can’t wait The talk in Washington is that last week’s Mideast violence will cement President Obama’s reluctance to intervene militarily in Syria.

After all, the demonstrations in Libya and Egypt, etc., were orchestrated by radical Islamists — empowered by the fall of dictators and the emergence of Arab democracies. So why should Obama help Syrian rebels oust dictator Bashar al-Assad if his fall may produce a similar result?

The answer: If Obama doesn’t help Syrian rebels now, the outcome will be far worse for America, and the entire region. Indeed, Libya should make U.S. help for Syrian rebels more urgent, not less.

This argument is made compellingly by a courageous Syrian writer, Samar Yazbek, who visited Philadelphia this week to discuss her newly published memoir, “A Woman in the Crossfire: Diaries of the Syrian Revolution.”

Yazbek risked her life to document how peaceful protests turned into armed rebellion. An educated, secular woman, with flowing blond hair, she traveled in disguise to watch as unarmed demonstrators were attacked by regime snipers and militias, and whole towns were punished by artillery bombardments.

Yazbek belongs to Syria’s minority Alawite (Shiite) sect, the religion of the ruling Assad clan along with most of the military and security elite. She is considered a traitor for her activism, and was repeatedly hauled in for interrogation. She was made to view the bloodied bodies of young prisoners mutilated by horrifying torture. She agonized constantly that the

If Obama doesn’t help Syrian rebels now, the outcome will be far worse for America, and the entire region. Indeed, Libya should make U.S. help for Syrian rebels more urgent, not less.” regime might harm her teenage daughter.

Her life was probably saved by the fact that the murder of a well-known Alawite writer would have undercut the false regime narrative that the rebels were all Sunni religious fundamentalists. As Yazbek’s book shows, that isn’t true.

Early in the revolt, many ordinary Syrians were inspired by the uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt to protest against the Assad regime’s repression and corruption. The regime’s violent response led groups of defecting soldiers and ordinary citizens to form militias to protect their towns.

The rise of more radical fighting groups was “a reaction to the regime’s violence,” says Yazbek. “They aren’t representative of (all) these militias, but if the regime continues, this will lead to more religious radicalism from the people.”

Yazbek describes how Assad is deliberately provoking sectarianism and religious radicalism: He seeks to frighten minorities and moderate Sunnis into believing they must support him. Regime thugs, known as shabiha, move around the country spreading rumors amongst Alawites that Sunnis are coming to rape and kill them — and vice versa. Their aim is to goad one sect to fight the other, in a sectarian war that will spread across Syria’s borders.

Yazbek was told by an Alawite member of the security services that “Assad won’t leave power before Syria is destroyed.”

This brings us to the issue of Obama’s policy toward Syria.

The administration has called for Assad to leave power but has done little to expedite his departure. Understandably, the White House doesn’t want to get involved in another Mideast war.

However, the longer the Syrian fighting goes on, the worse the likely outcome.

For months, the White House clung to the unfounded hope that Moscow would abandon its support for its last Mideast ally. It also tried fruitlessly to get exiled Syrian activists to agree on a leadership that the West could recognize.

Yet the future Syrian leaders who matter are those leading the militias that are fighting on the ground.

When it comes to helping Syrian fighters with weapons, the administration has outsourced that task to Gulf countries. The result: Gulf money and arms are flowing to Islamist groups and hard-line Salafis, while nonIslamist militias go begging for weapons and commu-

nications equipment. This makes more likely the result that everyone fears.

What to do? Tabler says the administration should be making a massive effort to “directly track and engage with Syrian armed groups and see whom we could work with.” If we can identify such groups, he believes we should supply them with “what they need.”

That might be ground-to-air weapons that could shoot down the planes that are bombing civilians in Syrian cities. This wouldn’t end the conflict but might turn the corner and convince some key Assad supporters that he can’t last.

Yes, there are risks involved, and some weapons could get into the wrong hands. Yes, Assad’s fall would probably mean some Islamists will play a key role in a successor democracy. But if we stay aloof, and outsource Syria policy, radical Salafis will gain strength along with an influx of Arab jihadis. And U.S. influence in post-Assad Damascus will be nil.

As for a possible diplomatic solution, only if Moscow perceives Obama to be serious might it join in a regional formula to stabilize a post-Assad Syria (leaving Iran, Assad’s strongest ally, isolated).

Samar Yazbek knows she could face difficulties as a secular woman under a post-Assad government. She is still adamant that Washington should help the non-Islamist militias with weapons. “What happened in Libya must force the West to help Syria so that religious radicalism won’t spread,” Yazbek says. I agree.

Hate may be veiled but it’s still there This is for Vanessa in South Florida.

She emailed me a few days ago after spotting a bumper sticker that read: 2012 Don’t Re-Nig. “Honestly,” she wrote, “I don’t know how to process my outrage, so I’m handing it off to you. I know that President Obama’s race has always been an issue to many people, and perhaps I live a relatively sheltered life in Democraticleaning Broward County, but I’m still stunned by the sentiment. I’m even more stunned, naive though that may be, by the fact that some people believe it’s appropriate to flaunt that sentiment — and that it’s not a source of shame.”

Vanessa, I’m afraid I’m not nearly as shocked as you. After all, the sentiment that bumper sticker expresses has been part of the Obama narrative since before he took office.

Some of us grapple with a sense of racial and cultural dislocation, the jolting sensation in a changing nation, that their prerogatives as white people, assumptions so ingrained as to have never previously required the slightest thought, are now in question. They want “their” country back. As the great satirist Randy Newman sings in a new ballad: “I’m dreaming of a white president

… the world has changed enough that one cannot openly express such things. So instead, it gets hidden in oblique language, false controversies and putative ‘jokes.’”

“Just like the ones we’ve always had “A real live white man who knows the score “How to handle money or start a war.”

But for others of us, it’s not anything so nuanced as a sense of dislocation — just the same old hate as always.

Either way, the world has changed enough that one cannot openly express such things. So instead, it gets hidden in oblique language, false controversies and putative “jokes.”

But Vanessa — when one in four Americans thinks there’s

some mystery over the president’s birthplace, while Mitt Romney (son of a man born in Mexico) and John McCain (born in the Panama Canal Zone) face no such scrutiny; when tea partyers denounce health-care reform as “reparations;” when Rep. Lynn Westmoreland calls Obama “uppity,” then-Rep. Geoff Davis calls him “boy” and Rep. Joe Wilson yells out, “You lie!” during a presidential speech; when Rush Limbaugh says Obama’s election means it’s open season on white kids; when Obama is called a terrorist, a “food stamp president” and a “Chicago thug” — why should “Don’t Re-Nig” come as a surprise? It’s just the next logical step.

One cannot openly express one’s hate — right up till the day one can. Though even then, one may have to delude oneself.

When he was asked about that bumper sticker, Billy Smith of Ludowici, Ga., who manufactured it with his wife, Paula, told a reporter: “We didn’t mean it in a racist way.” The driver of that car would likely have said the same. But they do not lie for our benefit. They lie to conscience — and to self.

So this is the paradigm of our age — self delusion on the one hand, a guy trying to

govern on the other, while hemmed in by race, defined in crude, stereotypical imagery, yet unable to fight it, talk about it, or even admit he sees it, for fear of compromising his effectiveness, being dismissed as, God forbid — “an angry black man.”

Yet we hope our way forward anyhow.

There hangs in the White House this photo of the president bowing to allow a little black boy to touch his head.

The 5-year-old, his brother and his parents were in the Oval Office with Obama and the boy had a question. “I want to know if my hair is just like yours,” he said, so softly Obama had to ask him to repeat himself. He did, and Obama invited him to see for himself. The boy hesitated.

“Touch it dude!” the president said.

The boy did. So, what do you think?” asked Obama.

“Yes,” said the boy, “it does feel the same.”

That child’s name is Jacob.

And Vanessa, while some of us are dreaming of a white president, well .?.?. it’s likely Jacob has some new dreams of his own.

CAPT. NATE PERRY, U.S. AIR FORCE PILOT, graduated from B-2 stealth bomber training July 13 at Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri. He joins the 13th Bomb Squadron of the famous 509th Bomb Wing. He was one of four pilots who graduated after more than six months of training in various aircraft, including the T-38 Talon and the B-2 Spirit. Perry is a 1992 graduate of Baldwin High School and a 1996 graduate of Kansas State University. He also taught and coached at Eudora High School from 1997 to 2002. Perry is pictured with his wife, Kelly, son Blake and daughters Gracie, Talia and Reese. They live in the rural Warrensburg, Mo., area. Charles A. Perry, of Baldwin City, submitted the photo.

TOPEKA — Dave DePue is a workhorse in the Kansas Capitol, but he doesn’t hold elective office and isn’t paid a dime.

He is Topeka chaplain for Capitol Connection, a national organization working in 19 statehouses to draw lawmakers into the arms of Christ.

“We’re about bringing unity and civility to this process,” said DePue, a retired state employee and Washburn University educator.

He is integral to a campaign to place faith front and center at the Kansas Statehouse. The 165 members of the House and Senate and executive branch employees working for Gov. Sam Brownback are invited weekly to a prayer breakfast and a noon Bible study, which is held at an office of the governor.

A coalition of churches last year formed the Upper Room Committee, which convenes for prayer and music on the second floor one Saturday each month. There is movement to build a chapel in the Statehouse. A network of politicians and volunteers is organized into teams invoking cumulative power of prayer.

DePue said Brownback’s staff requested a team pray for journalists who cover the Republican governor.

“People need hope, and he’s working hard to turn this economy around. If he gets bad press, it just takes longer,” he said.

He dismisses questions about mingling of church and state under the dome.

“It’s a civil society and everybody in society has a voice whether one of the groups likes it or not.”

Long-running event The Thursday prayer breakfast among legislators is coordinated by Reps. Jan Pauls, D-Hutchinson, and Arlen Siegfreid, R-Olathe.

It is outgrowth of Kansas politician Frank Carlson’s role about 50 years ago in bringing Dwight Eisenhower to an event that became the annual Presidential Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C. “It’s the longest-running state prayer breakfast,” DePue said.

In Topeka, the House and Senate begin each day with a prayer. The idea is to avoid politically sensitive topics, but some guest chaplains ignore the advice.

Wichita Pastor Joe Wright started a ruckus in 1996 with a Senate prayer declaring: “We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery. We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare. We

We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression.”

In 2008, Catholic Archbishop Joseph Naumann made Democratic Gov. Kathleen Sebelius the center of a religious debate by ordering her to refrain from Holy Communion.

He instructed Sebelius to repudiate her actions “sanctioning abortion.”

House Speaker Mike O’Neal, R-Hutchinson, opened a can of worms in January with an email to associates saying, “At last, I can honestly voice a biblical prayer for our president.” He referenced Psalm 109:8 and the passage, “Let his days be few,” which was interpreted by some as a yearning for President Barack Obama’s death.

The death of Kathy Caviness, 37, of Soldier, hit colleagues hard at the Kansas Department for Children and Families in Topeka.

Supervisor Carla Layne notified co-workers Aug. 15 by email and included a portion of the Lord’s Prayer as “the only words of comfort I am able to share at this time.” She invited the staff to an office prayer service at 3 p.m.

Aug. 17. Kansans applying for economic assistance in the lobby “may wait” while the staff prays together, she said.

Mike Marvin, executive director of Kansas Organization of State Employees, questioned the propriety of the gathering. “They have to ask, ‘What’s going to happen to me if I don’t go to this?’ It does put undue pressure on employees,” he said.

The scheduled prayer event wasn’t held, but there was a vigil after close of business off state property, said spokeswoman Angela de Rocha.

Minority concerns The Rev. Barry Lynn, executive director of Americans for Separation of Church and State in

Washington, D.C., said the national trend was for politicians to openly display their faith at state capitols.

He said overt Christian messages made secondclass citizens of followers of religions less prominent in the United States.

“It creates tremendous problems for people of religious minority groups or nonbelievers,” Lynn said.

Bob Barnes, national administrator for Capitol Connection in Raleigh, N.C., said the organization sought a presence in all 50 state Capitols. Connecting with state lawmakers pays off because many eventually serve in Congress, he said.

He said politics was a minefield warranting placement of God at the forefront of lawmakers’ mind. “If legislators’ hearts and minds are centered on God, they will serve their constituents best,” Barnes said.

Prayer at the Capitol in Topeka allowed politicians and others engaged in volatile debate to direct their energy in a positive way, DePue said. “We don’t know what else to do,” he said. “We could anguish, but instead we pray.”

DePue said caution had to be exercised when granting access to the Statehouse. Members of Westboro Baptist Church who picket funerals to express opposition to homosexuality would likely be turned away, he said.

“That’s not the kind of religion we’re talking about,” DePue said.

“We’re talking about the good Samaritan kind of religion where you turn the other cheek.”

He said adherents of Islam, who consider the Quran to be verbatim word of God, shouldn’t assume the Capitol was open to them.

“They can apply,” he said. “The main concern would be security. Probably that would be a valid reason. With security, if they felt it was an insecure situation, they would be told no.”

KU falls apart in 4th (again)

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Crist’s miss costly

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

ONLINE: For more from the debacle in DeKalb, including audio, a photo gallery, message boards and more, go to KUSports.com

DEKALB, ILL. — With its second fall-from-in-front loss of the young season — both with two-score leads in the fourth quarter, no less — Kansas University’s football team pushed its road losing streak to 14 games with a 3023 loss to Northern Illinois on Saturday at Huskie Stadium.

The way this one went, it’s natural to wonder if that streak will be at 19 by the end of the season.

On the second play of the fourth quarter, KU cornerback Tyler Patmon intercepted a Jordan Lynch pass and returned it, untouched, 54 yards to the end zone to the give the Jayhawks a 2313 lead with 14:33 to play. A holding penalty on the extrapoint attempt, and the miss that followed, kept the KU lead at 10, but there the Jayhawks sat, up two scores in the fourth quarter yet again.

Unlike the last time, when Rice needed a field goal as time expired to top Kansas in Week Two, this Kansas collapse came more quickly.

From euphoria to you’rekidding-me in 14:33, the Jayhawks now sit at 1-3 entering their off week. And the worst part is, nobody can really explain why.

“It was a lot of smiles on the sideline (after the Patmon touchdown),” KU senior safety Bradley McDougald said. “I don’t know if that was just to have that separation or if guys did get complacent. I was walking up and down the sideline just

DAYNE CRIST, BOTTOM, IS SACKED IN THE SECOND HALF of KU’s 30-23 loss to Northern Illinois. Crist was Please see KANSAS, page 6B sacked four times in the setback Saturday in DeKalb, Ill. At top is left tackle Tanner Hawkinson.

DEKALB, ILL. — Another week, another loss, another day Kansas University senior quarterback Dayne Crist found himself answering questions about his role from the wrong end of the game’s pivotal fourth-quarter play.

This time, it wasn’t a Crist turnover, like either the late interception against Rice on an ill-advised 50-50 pass or the fumble late in the TCU game with his team threatening to cut the lead to a touchdown. Instead, it was a play Crist didn’t make, a play that looked so easy, a would-be touchdown pass he didn’t come close to completing in Saturday’s 30-23 loss to Northern Illinois at Huskie Stadium.

On a fourth-and-17 play from the 29 with KU leading by three points with 10 minutes left, senior receiver Kale Pick somehow broke wide-open, too open to miss.

Crist missed him by a country mile. It almost looked as if he appeared so startled to see Pick alone that he rushed a panicked throw.

“I don’t know if it caught me off-guard too much,” Crist said after the game. “I mean, it was a little surprising coming up and seeing it because it shouldn’t have been there.”

That response might have revealed a little bit about the fifth-year senior quarterback who transferred to KU for one season after graduating from Notre Dame. Some athletes are better at sticking Please see KEEGAN, page 7B

Universally reviled Boot Camp awaits KU hoops

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

For former Kansas University basketball player Tyshawn Taylor, the best day of Boot Camp was his last day of Boot Camp, 2011.

“I walked in the locker room, and these guys are passed out, dead tired, 7 o’clock in the morning.

They’re laying around, and I’m up, shirt off, running around the room (saying), ‘I don’t have to do this (bleep) any more.’ I was so happy, so happy,” Brooklyn Nets rookie guard Taylor said of the conclusion of the 10th and final Boot Camp conditioning workout his senior year.

Taylor is long gone, having graduated last May, but

for the 2012-13 Jayhawks, KU coach Bill Self’s 10th-annual preseason Boot Camp will begin at 6 a.m. Monday in the squad’s hoops practice facility adjacent to Allen Fieldhouse.

The 60-to-90-minute upbefore-the-crack-of-dawn sprints, defensive slides and backboard touches will continue daily until Friday, then

after a two-day break, will resume until Friday, Oct. 5.

“It’s literally two weeks of hell,” said Taylor, who survived four Boot Camps.

“It’s not so much the workout stuff ... it’s the getting up every day at 6 in the morning. It’s added to the alreadyhectic schedule that we have.

Sporting K.C., Montreal draw, 0-0 MONTREAL (AP) — Sporting Kansas City goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen punched away Matteo Ferrari’s header in added time as Montreal struggled to a 0-0 draw Saturday to keep the Impact in the MLS playoff hunt.

Montreal picked up its first point in three games since ending its team-record five-game winning streak. Sporting KC, which leads the East with 56 points, is 8-4-3 on the road this season. “This was a massive point for

us, for sure,� Kansas City coach Peter Vermes said. “A huge opportunity for us to not necessarily separate ourselves immensely, but every one of those points adds up at the end of the season.�

The Impact claimed their 40th point with the draw, which kept them unbeaten in their last seven at home. Montreal, which is seventh in the Eastern Conference, had won its six previous home games since a 3-1 loss to Sporting KC on July 4. “At the end of the day, until

somebody tells me that we’re mathematically out of it, we’re still in it,� Impact captain Davy Arnaud said. “The only thing we can now go do is win our next three games and hope that it’s enough. We know it’s going to be difficult because teams already have close to the points that we can possibly get, but until we’re out of it we’re going to keep on pushing.�

Montreal goalkeeper Troy Perkins made a point-blank stop on Kei Kamara 14 minutes into

the game. Justin Mapp had the Impact’s best opportunity in the first half, but his shot went wide of the left post.

Sporting KC midfielder Jacob Peterson was on the bench after coming out of the game when he was shown a red card by referee Jorge Gonzalez in the 90th minute.

Arnaud and Impact midfielder Collen Warner were shown yellow cards. Warner will miss Montreal’s next game in Houston on Oct. 6.

Rarely has Week 3 been so important in the NFL. Get through it without mayhem breaking out around the league and the replacement referees might start clearing their calendars for colder days.

Have something happen that affects a game or injures a player and the real referees may soon be back wearing stripes.

The NFL is betting that it still wields the big hammer in its contract dispute with league officials, despite a Monday night game that nearly veered out of control. But it badly needs a Sunday without controversy to help quiet the growing criticism of fill-ins who clearly aren’t ready for prime time.

To make sure it gets one, the message went out this week to coaches and players alike: Behave, or else.

Get out of line like Denver coach John Fox did while arguing with the officials in the Monday night game in Atlanta and expect flags, fines or even a suspension. Treat the referees like the scabs most players and coaches seem to believe they are, and expect there to be repercussions. “There’s a mob mentality that can take control if you let things get out of hand,� Ray Anderson, the NFL’s executive vice president for game operations, told USA Today. “We never expect to see what occurred during the first half of the game at Atlanta on Monday happen on the field again.�

That it’s come to this shouldn’t be a surprise, considering the best officials in the land were replaced by a bunch of fan boys just excited to be on the same field as their heroes.

It’s silly to even think they might be able to do the job, and even sillier to expect they could do it without drawing attention to their skill level.

The NFL is selling a substandard product. And the people who pay for that product are beginning to notice.

If they stuck around past midnight Monday on the East Coast when the seemingly interminable game in Atlanta finally came to an end, they would have heard former quarterback Steve Young use his turn at the microphone on ESPN to deliver a scathing attack on the NFL for treating the referee issue with impunity.

It might not have gone down well with a league that still indirectly funds his bank account, but Young scored some points for the real refs at the expense of the NFL. “There’s nothing they can do to hurt the demand for the game. So the bottom line is they don’t care,� Young said. “Player safety? Doesn’t matter in this case. Bringing in Division III officials? Doesn’t matter. Because in the end, you’re still going to watch the game.�

Indeed, the NFL operates with the arrogance of a league that can do no wrong. Stadiums are for the most part full, the NFL dominates the airwaves, and the $9.3 billion in revenue the league took in last year only figures to rise.

ATLANTA — Brandt Snedeker had one of his best rounds of the year, a 6-under 64 on Saturday that gave him a share of the lead at the Tour Championship.

It could turn out to be a round worth $10 million.

Snedeker, in control of his game despite increasing wind at tree-lined East Lake, made a collection of tough putts and used his short game to pick up a couple of other birdies to wind up atop the leaderboard with Justin Rose, who also played bogey-free for a 68.

Today at East Lake is the final day of the FedEx Cup, and it has never been more up for grabs among so many top players.

Rory McIlroy had a 68 — his 11th consecutive round in the 60s — and was three shots behind. Tiger Woods salvaged an important par after bouncing a shot off a Georgia pine and had a 67 that put him four shots behind.

McIlroy, Woods and Snedeker were among the top five seeds coming into the Tour Championship, meaning they only have to win today to claim the FedEx Cup title and its $10 million bonus, the richest prize in golf. “It’s going to be one of the most exciting Sundays of the year,� McIlroy said.

They won’t be the only players with a chance to win at least one trophy — the Tour Championship — today. Rose will be in the final group with Snedeker, and while it’s unlikely he can win the FedEx Cup, the Englishman surely would settle for his second win of the year against a strong field.

Snedeker and Rose were at 8-under 202.

Ryan Moore spoiled his round with a bogey on the 17th and still had a 65, putting him alone in third at 6-under 204.

Jim Furyk, the 36-hole leader, was tied for the lead until he pulled his tee shot into the water on the 17th, hit the next tee shot into the gallery, his fourth shot into a bunker and made triple bogey that sent him tumbling down to a 72. He was still in the mix at 205, along with McIlroy and Masters champion Bubba Watson, who had a double bogey on the 16th hole and shot 70.

Lewis leads at Navistar PRATTVILLE, ALA. — Third-ranked Stacy Lewis shot a 7-under 65 on Saturday to take a two-stroke lead in the Navistar LPGA Classic, while second-round leader Lexi Thompson fell five shots behind.

Lewis, a two-time winner this season, had a 15-under 201 total on The Senator course at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail’s Capitol Hill complex. She birdied four of the first five holes in her bogey-free round.

The 17-year-old Thompson had a 74 to drop into a tie for sixth at 10 under. Thompson won the event last year at 16 to become the youngest champion in LPGA Tour history, a mark broken last month by 15-year-old amateur Lydia Ko in the Canadian Women’s Open.

Angela Stanford was second after a 68.

Lizette Salas was third at 12 under after a 70, and Haeji Kang and Mi Jung Hur followed at 11 under. Kang shot a 67, and Hur had a 72.

Sarah Jane Smith and Hee Young Park joined

Thompson at 10 under. Smith had a 68, and Park shot 72.

Lewis is trying to complete an Alabama sweep after beating Thompson by a stroke in the Mobile Bay LPA Classic in late April. The former Arkansas star also won the ShopRite LPGA Classic in June in New Jersey.

Thompson opened with a career-best 63 on Thursday to match the tournament record, and followed with a 69 on Friday. She made a double bogey on the par-4 12th Saturday, and offset two birdies with two bogeys.

Top-ranked Yani Tseng was 5 under after a 70.

Dillon nets Nationwide win SPARTA, KY. — Rookie Austin Dillon took advantage of misfortune by Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Elliott Sadler to win the Nationwide Series race at Kentucky Speedway on Saturday.

Sam Hornish Jr. was second, followed by Brendan Gaughan, Drew Herring and Sadler, who reclaimed the season points lead from Stenhouse.

Dillon seemed destined for a runner-up run behind Sadler, who got an opening when Stenhouse collided with Eric McClure on pit road on lap 33. That essentially handed first place to Sadler, and he began pulling away in pursuit of his fifth win this season.

But Sadler encountered steering issues with 50 laps left and subsequent pit stops for corrections ultimately yielded the lead to his Richard Childress Racing teammate.

Sadler has a four-point lead over Stenhouse, who finished 17th. Dillon is 19 points back.

Dillon, who won the pole, completed a season sweep at Kentucky. He dominated the June race, leading 192 of 200 laps.

FREE STATE SENIOR JOHN CORBETT TRIES TO HOLD OFF THE COMPETITION during the boys varsity 5K race on Saturday at Rim Rock Farm. Corbett finished in 111th place from a field of nearly 300 boys varsity runners.

LUBBOCK, TEXAS — Kansas University’s volleyball team opened its Big 12 Conference season with a sweep of Texas Tech, 2516, 25-16, 25-15, on the road Saturday at United Spirit Arena.

In the match, the Jayhawks (13-2 overall, 1-0 Big 12) collected 10 more kills and 12 more blocks than the Red Raiders and finished with a hitting percentage of .371, KU’s highest mark in over a year.

“We had great balance tonight,” coach Ray Bechard said. “When you have just seven errors in a three-set match on the road against a Big 12 team, you’re doing a lot of things right. Erin (McNorton) moved the ball around really well tonight, and I was very happy with Cathy (Carmichael). Her nine kills and no errors is what we need out of her.”

BRIEFLY Mo. Valley defeats Baker football BALDWIN CITY — Ninthranked Baker University mounted a 14-point comeback in the fourth quarter, but couldn’t overcome its early struggles in a 31-17 football loss to No. 5 Missouri Valley on Saturday at Liston Stadium.

The Vikings led their NAIA rivals 31-3 entering the final quarter before running back Dillon Baxter ran in a touchdown with 11:47 left. Baker forced a fumble a minute later and scored with seven minutes left.

The Wildcats play No. 13 Mid-America Nazarene on Saturday at the Olathe District Activities Center.

FSHS volleyball wins Seaman title TOPEKA —The Free State High volleyball team lost just one game Saturday on its way to winning the Topeka Seaman Invitational.

The Firebirds, led by senior all-tournament team selections Katy Davis and Shelby Holmes, defeated Manhattan, 25-22, 25-19 in the semifinals and Topeka Hayden, 25-18, 25-19, in the championship.

“We played very, very consistently,” FSHS coach Nancy Hopkins said.

“Whenever we got down, we fought back. We never got down too far, but we played very, very tough today. I think we’re turning the corner.”

Free State (16-5) went 3-1 in pool play, defeating Holton, 25-17, 25-11, losing to Junction City, 23-25,

a nap at some point in the early-afternoon hours. If not, he’s off to bed after early-evening tutoring in an attempt to get a good night’s sleep before resuming the drills.

“I’m looking forward to it being over with already, and we haven’t even started,” said KU senior forward Travis Releford, about to embark on his fifth Boot Camp thanks to a red-shirt season. “I’m just going into it telling our young guys how much they have to be motivated and have energy for it.

That’ll make things a lot easier, I’ve known from my past experience.”

Releford said he doesn’t really have any secret tips to pass onto KU’s nine newcomers besides stressing they better arrive on time. Self has no patience for those who happen to be tardy.

“I try to get up a little

early so I can grab something to eat like an energy bar,” Releford said. “I try to drink a Gatorade, nothing heavy, because it’s a lot of running.”

KU freshman guard/ forward Andrew White III said he’ll be setting two alarms for himself and roomie Zach Peters in their Jayhawker Towers apartment.

“I always set two just to go to class and practice,” White said with a smile.

“I definitely won’t be waking up late. I’ll go in there (Peters’ room) and make sure he’s up. We’ll figure it out.”

White said there hasn’t been a lot of discussion about Boot Camp since the start of the semester.

“Everybody has had it in the back of their mind just because you know this is when it’s time to really get going, and the season is right around the corner,” White said of the Oct. 12 Late Night in the Phog. “I know everybody has mixed emotions about it, but we’re ready for the season to get going, so I think everybody

is looking forward to it in a way.

“I don’t dread it,” he added. “I think even when it’s over I’m not going to dread it because I know the feeling will be like, ‘You just accomplished the biggest goal possible up to that point.’ If that’s what we have to do, and that’s how coach gets the best response out of his players, I won’t dread it at all.”

Self said his players can draw from Boot Camp experiences, “all year long. It provides leadership, unity and toughness.”

The players certainly will feel a sense of accomplishment when it’s over, especially the seniors.

“I feel I’m going to be like Ty. After my last suicide (sprint), I’m probably going to be happy. I’m probably going to run it the fastest I’ve ever run it since I’ve been here since I know it’s my last one,” Releford said.

After all ... “There’s nothing better than being a senior and finishing Boot Camp. That’s what I hear,” senior center Jeff Withey said.

We had great balance tonight. When you have just seven errors in a three-set match on the road against a Big 12 team, you’re doing a lot of things right.”

— Kansas University volleyball coach Ray Bechard

Junior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc led KU with 11 kills and seven blocks.

Senior middle blocker Tayler Tolefree and freshman outside hitter Tiana Dockery both chipped in six blocks on a night when KU had 14 rejections to Tech’s two.

Tolefree also led the team with a .583 efficiency mark.

Kansas will return home to host No. 19 Iowa State at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday.

BIG 12 ROUNDUP

Wildcats stay undefeated at No. 6 Sooners The Associated Press

No. 15 Kansas St. 24, No. 6 Oklahoma 19 NORMAN, OKLA. — John Hubert ran for 130 yards and a touchdown, Jarell Childs scooped up a fumble and returned it for a score, and No. 15 Kansas State beat No. 6 Oklahoma, 24-19, on Saturday night to avenge a wrenching loss from last season.

Collin Klein picked up 228 yards of total offense and ran for the goahead touchdown early in the fourth quarter in a solid performance that outshined an error-filled night by Sooners quarterback Landry Jones.

Jones threw for 298 yards and a late touchdown to get Oklahoma (2-1, 0-1 Big 12) within five but also fumbled and threw an interception that put Kansas State (4-0, 1-0) in position to go ahead.

The Wildcats waited for Oklahoma’s players to leave the field and then celebrated with their fans after earning redemption for a 58-17 blowout loss last season that ended their undefeated run.

TOP 25 ROUNDUP

Mistake-heavy Michigan falls to No. 11 Notre Dame The Associated Press

No. 11 Notre Dame 13, No. 18 Michigan 6 SOUTH BEND, IND. — Manti Te’o had two interceptions as Notre Dame picked off five Michigan passes, and backup quarterback Tommy Rees sparked the Fighting Irish offense in a win over the Wolverines Saturday night.

Denard Robinson, who amassed 948 yards of total offense in victories over the Irish the past two years, wasn’t as effective this time as the Irish repeatedly forced him into mistakes. He threw four interceptions in the first half, then lost a fumble at the Notre Dame eightyard line on the first drive of the second half.

The victory by Notre Dame (4-0) ended a streak of three straight games in which Michigan (2-2) beat the Irish in the final 27 seconds.

Notre Dame didn’t give the Wolverines a chance to pull it out this time, running out the clock after a Brendan Gibbons field goal with 3:27 left in the game made it 13-6.

Rees scored the game’s only touchdown on a quarterback draw late in the first half and engineered a late drive that ended in Kyle Brindza’s 39-yard field goal to give Notre Dame a 13-3 cushion.

No. 1 Alabama 40, Florida Atlantic 7 TUSCALOOSA, ALA. — AJ McCarron threw three touchdown passes, including an early 85-yarder to Kenny Bell, and Alabama routed Florida Atlantic.

Eddie Lacy rushed for 106 yards in the first half for the Crimson Tide (40), which rolled to 134 consecutive points and two shutouts before allowing a late touchdown.

The Owls (1-3) managed only one first down through three quarters and were outgained 503110 in total yards. McCarron was 15-of-25 passing for 212 yards before leaving midway through the third quarter. The 85-yarder came 1:42 into

the game and is tied for the fifth-longest touchdown pass in Tide history.

Auburn led 10-9 at halftime, but managed only 183 yards.

A fumbled punt return

by Auburn’s Quan Bray set up Drew Alleman’s 30-yard field goal late in the third quarter that gave LSU (4-0, 1-0 Southeastern Conference) a 12-10 lead. Alleman missed a 34-yarder with 39 seconds remaining.

Florida State (4-0. 2-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) trailed until late in the third quarter, taking its first lead at 35-31 on Manuel’s 29-yard touchdown pass to Rodney Smith.

The Seminoles, who finished with 667 yards, built a 49-31 lead before Clemson scored late.

Missouri (2-2, 0-2) struggled against a Gamecocks defense that has given up three touchdowns all year. The Tigers had a season-low 254 yards.

Lattimore rushed for 85 yards. His touchdowns gave him South Carolina’s career mark with 33 rushing scores, a record Lattimore shared with Heisman Trophy winner George Rogers and Harold Green.

A week after the preseason No. 1 team got shut out in the second half of a 21-14 loss at Stanford, USC drained the suspense from this matchup with a methodical 75-yard drive that consumed more than half of the fourth quarter, capped by Lee’s 3-yard TD catch with 5:56 to play.

NORTHERN ILL. 30, KANSAS 23

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

2-MINUTE DRILL Kansas 23 No. Illinois 30 BRIEFLY Kansas settled for a field goal on its first possession, punted on its second and scored a TD on its third, but two straight punts on its final two first-half possessions doomed the Jayhawks to a 13-10 halftime deficit. … Still, a touchdown on its first drive of the third quarter and a pick-six TD on the first possession of the fourth gave the Jayhawks a 23-13 lead. …

Northern Illinois, however, scored two touchdowns and a field goal on its next three possessions — a combined 17 plays, 162 yards, 17 points — and forced KU to turn over twice on downs and punt twice over the course of the fourth. … Fun fact: Kansas had zero first downs on its final three drives, which went 10 plays for minus-12 yards.

Huskies fond of finish

By Jesse Newell jnewell@ljworld.com

DEKALB, ILL. — A few seconds after reporters were asked if they had any final questions, Northern Illinois coach Dave Doeren spoke up himself.

“Nobody wants to ask about the 12-yard gain on the quarterback sneak, huh?”

Doeren said with a smile following NIU’s 30-23 victory over Kansas on Saturday at Huskie Stadium. “That was, like, the best play of the game. I went nuts.”

For Doeren, the play signified the reason he believed his MAC team was able to come back from a 10-point deficit against a BCS opponent: toughness in the fourth quarter.

“When you can finish the game being the most physical team on the field, you’re going to win a lot of games,” Doeren said. “That was the first thing I challenged these guys on last Sunday. I said, ‘The most physical team in Huskie Stadium will win the game,’ and we were.

NIU’S LEIGHTON SETTLE (47) CROSSES THE GOAL LINE for the go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter.

“We showed it on that play. Have you ever seen a sneak go for 12? That was big-time.”

Doeren actually was selling his team short.

With the game tied at 23 and less than six minutes left in the fourth quarter, Doeren called for the QB sneak on a third-and-one at the KU 26.

Lynch, who plowed ahead into his line before breaking

free, actually gained 14 yards to the KU 12.

NIU running back Leighton Settle scored the goahead touchdown on a twoyard TD run two plays later.

“I’m just proud the way we finish games around here,” Doeren said.

A native of Shawnee Mission, Doeren was an assistant for Mark Mangino at KU from 2002-05.

“Being from Kansas and working there, it’s great,” Doeren said of the victory.

“I know my mom’s probably more excited about that part of it than I am. I’m just proud of our players.”

The coach believed one key for NIU was getting KU out of its Jayhawk formation and into “normal football.”

“The whole second half seemed like Wildcat-fest there for a while,” Doeren said.

“They were just trying to run the football. Once we started scoring, they couldn’t do it any more. We didn’t change anything against that; we just finally got them out of it.

“I wish we could have got them out of it a lot earlier, because that was a lot of fun there at the end.”

NIU quarterback Jordan Lynch rushed for more than 100 yards for the fourth straight game, picking up 134 yards on 22 carries.

He also went 23-for-35 passing for 235 yards with two touchdowns and an interception in the Huskies’ hurry-up offense.

KANSAS’ TYLER PATMON (33) RUNS BACK AN INTERCEPTION for a touchdown in the fourth quarter. critical time in the game, offensively. They’ve just made a big play, and you gotta get something going.

That’s not what happened.

(Crist) didn’t get hit, he just missed him. It’s unfortunate because, you know, you’re wide-open.”

Through the first three quarters of Saturday’s loss, there were plenty of positives for the Jayhawks. The teams traded scores early on, and NIU led 13-10 at the half.

Junior tailback James Sims, who returned from a threegame suspension, looked better than ever in rushing for 91 yards and two touchdowns, and junior wideout Christian Matthews, a former quarterback, ran KU’s Wildcat offense flawlessly, finishing with 43 yards on five carries and making one poised decision after the next.

In addition, the KU defense limited NIU’s potent offense to 264 yards on 57 plays.

But once the collapse came, none of that mattered, and the Jayhawks were powerless to stop it.

Weis said he went away from the Wildcat offense because NIU made a defensive

adjustment to stretch the play to the sideline.

Matthews said he saw it, too.

“The D-end started staying instead of closing to the back,” Matthews said.

That left the ball, and the game, in Crist’s hands, and neither he nor KU’s offensive line could come through.

Crist was sacked four times and hurried nearly twice that often.

When he wasn’t, he made throws he won’t like watching on film. What’s more, that defense that had played tough and poised initially gave up 191 yards of offense in the final quarter alone and looked gassed by the up-tempo Huskies offense.

“Part of the problem is the changing of personnel and the speed at which they do that,” Weis said. “That challenges you.”

KU’s latest loss — its 29th in the last 35 tries — really came down to big plays. The Jayhawks made a few, but also missed a few and gave up far too many.

“Sometimes it’s really that simple,” Weis said.

The Jayhawks are off until Oct. 6, when they travel to Manhattan to take on Kansas State.

First Quarter 6:44 — Ron Doherty 26 field goal. The Jayhawks opened the game with six straight rushing plays that gained 39 yards and three first downs. KU then took to the air, where quarterback Dayne Crist went 3-for-4 for 42 yards, including a 14-yard completion to sophomore Andrew Turzilli, who had slipped but still got up in time to make the catch inbounds. The drive covered 72 yards in 12 plays and 5:54. (KU 3, NIU 0).

2:02 — Tommylee Lewis 4 pass from Jordan Lynch. Kick fail. The Huskies responded to KU’s scoring drive with a 13-play, 55-yard scoring drive of their own to claim the lead. NIU QB Lynch was equally as effective through the air as he was on the ground, and his 17-yard designed run set up the TD. (NIU 6, KU 3).

Second Quarter 12:23 — James Sims 26 run. Ron Doherty kick. The Jayhawks turned in one of their most explosive scoring drives of the season, with three of the four plays going for double-digit yardage, including a 21-yard pass from Crist to Sims to start the drive and a 33-yard pitch and catch to Kale Pick on the next play. The Jayhawks also flashed some ‘Jayhawk’ offense, with Christian Matthews in at quarterback, keeping once and handing to Sims for the TD. The drive covered 86 yards in four plays and 1:47. (KU 10, NIU 6).

1:38 — Akeem Daniels 3 run. Mathew Sims kick. Call it the Jordan Lynch Drive.

The NIU quarterback killed the Jayhawks with his legs on NIU’s second scoring drive, rushing five times for 47 yards to give the Huskies the lead back. Once the winded Jayhawks started keying on Lynch as a runner, he simply dished the ball off to Daniels, who plunged straight forward for the quick TD. (NIU 13, KU 10).

Third Quarter 8:50 — Sims 1 run. Doherty kick. The heroic return of James Sims added a chapter on KU’s first drive of the second half, a 14-play, 71-yard scoring march that took 6:10 and featured two fourth-down conversions. KU picked up the first conversion, a one-yard run by Tony Pierson, by a matter of inches. The second ended with Sims lying in the end zone. KU’s first four plays of the drive were from the Jayhawk formation, with Matthews eating up yardage.

(KU 17, NIU 13).

Fourth Quarter 14:33 — Tyler Patmon 54 interception return. Kick fail. After Lynch scrambled for 23 yards and a first down on the first play of the fourth quarter, Patmon was in the right place at the right time and had an errant pass come right to him. Patmon then raced untouched into the end zone to give KU a two-score lead. The kick was good initially, but a holding penalty wiped it out, and the second kick, 10 yards farther back, missed. (KU 23, NIU 13).

14:23 — Martel Moore 65 pass from Lynch. Sims kick. Reeling from the KU interception return, Lynch bounced back with the “Tim Tebow” play, in which he faked the run to suck up the KU safety and then dropped it behind him to a streaking Moore, who broke away from the KU secondary and pulled the Huskies back within three. (KU 23, NIU 20).

7:58 — Mathew Sims 44 field goal. After stuffing the Jayhawks on a fourth-and-18 in their own territory, the Huskies responded with a nine-play, 44-yard drive that tied the game. Lynch hit on three passes for first downs on the drive, and the field goal tied Sims’ career long. (KU 23, NIU 23).

4:33 — Leighton Settle 2 run. Sims kick. Pumped up by tying the game on the drive before, the NIU defense forced the Jayhawks into a three-and-out and that gave the ball back to Lynch and the Huskies’ offense. Seven plays, 53 yards and 2:13 later, the Huskies were back in front.

(NIU 30, KU 23).

NOTEBOOK

Sims solid in return ————

RB goes for 91 yards in setback

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

DEKALB, ILL. — Kansas University’s football team welcomed junior James Sims back to the huddle Saturday, and his return could not have come at a better time, as junior Taylor Cox, who picked up a lot of the slack during Sims’ suspension, left Saturday’s 30-23 loss to Northern Illinois in the first quarter and did not return.

Cox got off to a hot start, rushing for 19 yards on three carries, including a powerful 14-yard run on KU’s first offensive play.

But shortly after his third carry, he limped off the field and drew attention from KU’s trainers on the sideline. They appeared to be looking at the back of his right leg, but there was no update on his status after the game. He remained in uniform on the sideline but did not return.

With Cox out, Sims’ workload skyrocketed. Part of that was out of necessity, and part of it was because Sims showed no rust.

“It’s great to have him back,” KU quarterback Dayne Crist said. “For him to carry the load the way he did today was pretty great. (He’s) a guy that we’ve wanted all along, and we’re fortunate and happy to have back.”

Sims led the Jayhawks in yards (91) and attempts (18), outpacing sophomore speed back Tony Pierson, who finished with 30 yards on 10 carries.

Asked to sum up his first game of the 2012 season, Sims played down his performance.

“I felt pretty good out there,” he said. “Getting back into action was great.

I felt comfortable.”

Sims, who was sidelined because of an offseason DUI arrest, ran early like a player trying to apologize to his teammates for his mistake.

KANSAS’ JAMES SIMS (29) PUSHES INTO THE END ZONE for a touchdown in the second half. Sims led KU with 91 rushing yards in its 30-23 loss to Northern Illinois on Saturday in DeKalb, Ill. “I did,” he said. “I made some mistakes, but you live and you learn from them, and that’s what I did. I just built on it and just got better. Taylor Cox and Tony Pierson both did a great job the three games I was out.”

Matthews shines Dropped way off the KU depth chart at wide receiver, junior Christian Matthews found another way to contribute to the Jayhawks’ offense on Saturday — as a quarterback.

Nearly a dozen times throughout Saturday’s loss, Matthews took the direct snap from center as the Jayhawks’ Wildcat QB. He carried five times for 43 yards and wisely allowed plays to develop for Pierson, Sims and Cox. Getting back into the action was a blast, Matthews said, and he was not surprised by his effectiveness.

“We practice every day,” he said. “Coach put me in, and he trusted me to make the plays. I just tried to make the best of (them).”

Asked if the Matthewsheavy Wildcat package was designed specifically for Northern Illinois, Matthews said it was something the coaches had

been working up to. KU coach Charlie Weis said Army’s 486-yard, tripleoption output against NIU last week inspired him to look into getting Matthews more involved.

“We have Wildcat available to us, and we just felt it was going to give us a chance to move the ball,” Weis said.

The new wrinkle took some of the pressure off Crist, who stayed on the field as a wideout when Matthews took the snaps.

“He’s a great athlete,” Crist said. “We’re happy that he got in the mix. It was a great package for us, and I’m sure we’ll continue to build on that.”

First-time starters Senior linebacker Anthony McDonald and Cox made their first career starts for the Jayhawks on Saturday, replacing Huldon Tharp and Pierson in the lineup. Junior tight end Charles Brooks also made his KU debut.

McDonald finished with a career-high 11 tackles.

Safety Dexter Linton, who once again started in place of injured senior Lubbock Smith, had a career-high eight tackles. Sophomore linebacker Ben Heeney led all KU defenders with a career-high 12 tackles.

KU’S KALE PICK CAN’T CATCH UP to a pass from Dayne Crist late in KU’s loss to NIU.

to the plan. Others perform well on the fly.

Statistically one of the nation’s lowest-rated starting quarterbacks, Crist does not do his best work improvising.

On an afternoon when the right side of the offensive line broke down late in the game, Crist was sacked four times. He completed just 10 of 26 passes for 147 yards. On the season, he has a low completion percentage of 50.5, has thrown two touchdown passes and four interceptions.

With one-third of the season in the books, I figured the time was ripe to ask the question that had to hang in other heads as Kansas lost a two-touchdown lead for the second time in three weeks: Is Crist this team’s quarterback throughout the rest of the season, regardless of his performance?

Head coach Charlie Weis answered my question with one of his own:

“Is this the quarterback controversy question?”

“Yes,” I answered.

And he answered in such a way as to take the air out of the controversy.

He didn’t grow defensive.

He didn’t try to blame Crist’s bad plays on others. He gave his honest assessment of the situation.

“I think that when we go back and watch (the game film), if there’s reason to replace the first guy with the second guy, you go ahead and do it,” Weis said. “It doesn’t make any difference what position they play. I think if the second guy were close enough to the first guy, sometimes that decision would be a lot easier, but there is a big separation between the first guy and the second guy.”

The second guy, according to the depth chart, is strong-armed red-shirt freshman Michael Cummings, the third guy sophomore dual-threat Turner Baty, a junior-college transfer.

If either one of them were to get a serious look, the two-week break in the schedule would be the time to make it happen,

but Weis doesn’t sound like a coach ready to make a change.

Senior linebacker Anthony McDonald teamed with Crist in high school in Southern California and at Notre Dame.

“I’ve been around him for 10 years,” McDonald said. “I know how he responds. He’s the best quarterback I’ve ever been around.”

One-third of the way into his entire Kansas career, Crist hasn’t resembled someone who would inspire those words, but he hasn’t run out of chances.

In the second half, when the protection broke down, particularly on the right side of the line, Crist completed four of 15 passes for 39 yards and was sacked three times. Nobody would have remembered those misfires had Crist hit Pick on a play that would have given Kansas a 10-point lead with 10 minutes remaining.

One less Crist throw against Rice and one better Crist throw in the Northern Illinois game and Kansas might be 3-1 instead of 1-3.

K.C. clips Cleveland ————

Butler bags 100th RBI in Royals’ 5-3 victory KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — Billy Butler is wrapping up a career year, and Kansas City Royals manager Ned Yost thinks the slugger is capable of more.

Butler hit a run-scoring single in the first inning to reach 100 RBIs for the first time, and the Royals beat the Cleveland Indians, 5-3, on Saturday night.

The designated hitter also doubled twice in his 53rd multihit game, raising his batting average to .312.

He also has a career-best 27 homers this season.

“I said last year Billy was a 30-100 RBI guy,” Yost said. “He’s got some work to do. I think Billy is capable of being a huge run producer in the American League, that guy that’s capable of having 120, 130 RBIs every year.

“He just keeps getting better and better. He hit a double off (Ubaldo) Jimenez. It was a curveball where he started and stopped and blasted it.

Hitters can’t do that. Only a few can do what he can do.”

Butler became the first Royals player to drive in at least 100 runs since Carlos Beltran had 100 RBIs in 2003.

“You start off the season with a goal in mind and obviously being in the middle of the lineup and a run producer, that’s a big goal,” Butler said. “It’s great to get behind you and keep playing.”

Butler said reaching 30

It’s already must-win time for Chiefs, Saints today NEW ORLEANS (AP) — It’s only Week 3, and desperation time is already at hand for the Kansas City Chiefs and the New Orleans Saints.

The loser of their meeting today in the Superdome will drop to 0-3 and become a playoff long shot before NFL teams have hit the one-quarter mark on their regular-season schedule.

“You just don’t want to keep digging that hole because in the NFL, every team is great each and every week,” Kansas City quarterback Matt Cassel said. “Is there a sense of urgency about it? Absolutely. We want to get a win, and everybody in this room is working extremely hard to get that done.”

The Chiefs are in familiar territory, having started 0-3 last season before finishing 7-9 and out of the playoffs.

The Saints, by contrast, only lost a total of three games during the 2011 season and expected to be in contention for a fourth straight playoff berth this season, even after the NFL’s bounty investigation resulted in the suspension of head coach Sean Payton.

“I would have never expected to be 0-2,” Saints interim head coach Aaron Kromer said. “We are not used to being 0-and-anything. This is a winning organization. It has been a winning organization and we are going to take it back to that.

“All we can do is worry about this one week,” Kromer continued, adding that his instructions to his players after last Sunday’s 35-27 loss to Carolina were to “look in the mirror, don’t point fingers, and move on.”

In case they didn’t get the message, small round mirrors were affixed to players’ lockers at Saints headquarters this week.

“It’s the only answer,” said Saints right tackle Zach Strief, an offensive captain. “There’s literally a danger in guys pointing fingers and becoming cancers and complaining. I

think it can be human nature to say, ‘Whose fault is it?’ ... and that’s poison in a locker room, so the only thing that you can do is look at yourself.”

When the Chiefs and Saints look at themselves, they see a mixed bag that gives them cause for hope as well as concern.

Both teams are among the league leaders in offense. The Drew Brees-led Saints rank third, while Cassel’s Chiefs rank fifth.

Defense is where the problems lie for both clubs right now.

The Saints are last in yards allowed and tied with the Chiefs for last in points allowed, 75.

Certainly, the oddsmakers see a matchup ripe for a shootout, setting the over/under at 53, higher than any other game this week.

Yet members of both teams would argue that after only two games, the sample size is too small to place so much emphasis on statistics.

In such a short span, a few big plays can skew the numbers for a unit that, if

not for a handful of blown assignments or correctable mistakes, could have performed much better, they say.

First-year Saints defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo knows that from his experience as coordinator of the 2007 New York Giants. That team gave up 80 points in its first two games, but wound up winning the Super Bowl against previously unbeaten New England while largely stifling Tom Brady and an offense that set NFL scoring records that season.

Spagnuolo said he blamed himself for much of the poor early-season performance of New Orleans’ defense, citing overly aggressive calls he made against two quarterbacks — Washington’s Robert Griffin II and Carolina’s Cam Newton — whose running ability can make blitzes backfire.

But Saints middle linebacker Curtis Lofton said Spagnuolo cannot be blamed entirely for blown assignments or missed tackles on the field.

This isn’t a reincarnation of the old Deadwood edition that many readers may remember fondly. And this section is not an exact mirror of the Lawrence.com website.

This new section’s purpose is to tell you about the most interesting events in Lawrence and throughout the area, highlight the local restaurant scene, explore the artists and innovators that excite our senses, and bring you more information to whet your cultural palate.

In this inaugural edition, we profile Monika Laskowska and printmaker Patrick Vincent, the Lawrence Arts Center’s talented artists in residence. And John Phythyon takes a look at the fall theater season, which includes Theatre Lawrence’s “The Sound of Music” and the Kansas University’s “The 39 Steps.”

And be sure to check out our fall arts guide, something we think you’ll want to hang on to as the leaves turn color and the best of fall’s arts and entertainment events approach.

Ceramist, printmaker to work, teach during year in Lawrence

By Sara Shepherd

O

ver the next year, a Polish ceramist and a Minnesota printmaker will live, work and share their crafts in Lawrence.

Not only does the Lawrence Arts Center’s Artists in Residence program provide a chance for these artists — both fresh out of graduate school — to build their bodies of work and segue into the professional world, it also gives Lawrence community members an opportunity to learn from their expertise.

Arts Center Executive Director Susan Tate says the annual residency programs have become key to the center’s three mission areas: contemporary exhibition, performance and arts education.

Both of this year’s artists have won extensive honors for academic and artistic work, and assembled impressive numbers of exhibitions, Tate says, “but it was their desire to be part of a creative community as working artists that caught our attention.”

Fall theater: New takes on familiar ideas

By John Phythyon

If you’re looking for something different in the way of entertainment this fall, you shouldn’t have any trouble finding it at area theaters.

Time-traveling space aliens and a handsome prince transformed into a hideous beast invade the Lied Center. Theatre Lawrence is alive with the sound of music in World War II Austria and harassed secretaries in the era of “Women’s Lib.” Fairy-tale characters and Alfred Hitchcock take the stage at Kansas University Theatre. And old classics “The Nutcracker” and “Threepenny Opera” find new interpretations at the Lawrence Arts Center.

In fact, taking something familiar and making it new is a broad theme among the shows being staged this fall.

Take Kansas University Theatre’s production of “The 39 Steps” for instance. The play is based on the 1935 Alfred Hitchcock film, which is itself adapted from the 1915 John Buchan novel. Both the novel and film are serious spy stories. The play is not.

The plot is largely unchanged, but the entire cast of 140 characters is

ONGOING: “9 to 5 the Musical,” 7:30 p.m.

Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Oct. 4, Oct. 5, Oct. 6; 2:30 p.m. Sept. 23, 30, and Oct. 7, Theatre Lawrence, 1501 N.H. Oct. 1-2: Auditions for “The Sound of Music,” 7 p.m., Theatre Lawrence ONGOING: Threepenny Opera with the Free State Liberation Orchestra, 7:30

AP File Photo

DISNEY’S “BEAUTY AND THE BEAST” comes to the Lied Center Dec. 12 played by just four actors.

The result is the need for lightning-quick costume changes and actors often playing more than one character simultaneously. The whole thing is played for laughs, and there are allusions to other Hitchcock classics, including “Rear Window,” “Psycho,” “Vertigo,” and “North by Northwest.” “‘The 39 Steps’ ... is as much a celebration of the art of storytelling as it is a thrilling and comical adventure,” says Alex Espy, the guest artist who will be directing the show for University Theatre.

“Imaginative staging creates everything from dangerous plane crashes to exhaustive police chases.”

Adapted for the stage

by Patrick Barlow from a concept by Simon Corble and Nobby Dimon, “The 39 Steps” won two Tony Awards in 2008 and is quickly becoming a comedy classic. It runs Oct. 12, 13, 14, 18, 19, 20 and 21 in the CraftonPreyer Theatre.

Speaking of old ideas being new again, EMU Theatre is presenting its sixth annual Halloween play festival. Horrorshow VI will feature six short plays by six local playwrights. All of them will have something to do with zombies, and some of the plays are, ahem, resurrected from past installments of Horrorshow, so there will be a mix of new scares and old delights.

Dean Bevan wrote and will be directing one of the new pieces, “Grim

Reaper,” which features a nice, old couple that completely mistakes Death for an ordinary visitor.

“I thought it would be funny to have the Grim Reaper appear as an unintentionally (for him) comic figure instead of the conventionally terrifying image of Death,” Bevan says of casting the traditional character in a new light. “They’re so hard of hearing they mistake everything he says.”

The festival runs Oct. 19, 20, 21, 26, 27, and, of course Halloween night Oct. 31 in the Black Box Theater at the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 N.H. There’s more than monsters and murder this fall. The “tale as old as time” comes to Lawrence when the Lied Center presents “Disney’s Beauty and the Beast” on Dec. 12. This one is a doubly new interpretation of an old story. The classic French fairy tale was given new life by Disney animators in 1991, becoming one of the venerable film company’s biggest hits.

Years later, Broadway adapted the film to the stage, adding new songs.

Artists in residence bring creative spark to Lawrence

Photo courtesy of Patrick Vincent

“A CONSPIRING HUSK,” by current Lawrence Arts Center artist in residence Patrick Vincent, is pictured. The work, which includes letterpress-printed lipstick and screen-printed cosmetic pigment on handmade paper, is part of Vincent’s recent “Read in Tooth and Claw” installation.

Printmaker’s work like dark fairy tales

By Sara Shepherd sshepherd@ljworld.com

Printmaker Patrick Vincent’s work warps the idea that the art form is exclusively flat.

In one of the Minnesota native’s latest exhibits, large-scale woodblocks — instead of prints created with them — join cut paper and string in a fullroom installation.

“It’s conceptually printmaking,” Vincent says.

The woodblocks of “Read in Tooth and Claw” are oversized, personified animals, reminiscent of children’s storybook characters but rendered in black-and-white detail not unlike prints of the Dark Ages. The work is a little bit whimsical, a little bit spooky. Vincent was fascinated by dark folk stories and fairy tales as a child, and their tone and messages inspire his work.

“There’s a certain level of humor because they’re meant for kids, but they’re also really creepy,” he says.

That’s not to say Vincent doesn’t do flat prints, too — mostly woodcuts and intaglio.

In Minneapolis, where he grew up, Vincent worked at the Minnesota Center for Book Arts, teaching printmaking, paper making and bookbinding to adults and children.

His undergraduate degree is in cultural studies, and he says the art of printmaking met a lot of his intellectual interests. Vincent received his master’s degree in printmaking at Arizona State University.

In the spirit of connecting art with real people, one of his current projects in progress is a back-andforth that results in images of people’s faces on bugs of their choosing.

Community members can submit their photo and the species they’d like to be depicted as. Vincent says he’ll give each participant a print and save the linoleum carvings for a later installation.

“The theme of bugs is an invitation for people to connect with a part of the natural world that is often ignored or reviled,” he explains on his website.

That type of community outreach is part of the reason the Arts Center chose Vincent as an artist in residence, Arts Center Director Susan Tate says.

“One of the strengths he brings to our studio is that he ... conveys tremendous enthusiasm for connecting with community through printmaking, as evidenced by a history of interactive projects,” she says.

Ceramist’s work symbolizes life changes

By Sara Shepherd sshepherd@ljworld.com

Many of Monika Laskowska’s clay creations take the form of familiar, functional, household items: soup bowls, teacups, platters, vases, ashtrays, ladles.

But the teacups are pricked with holes, vases are upside-down, and ladles are lined up with dozens more just like them, more than one could ever use in real life.

Laskowska says her work represents a contradiction of permanence — changes to the things we know — and that her own life has been her inspiration.

She grew up in Poland.

She’s lived in Bulgaria, Ireland, then Columbus, Ohio. And now she’s here

in Lawrence.

And she doesn’t know where she’ll be next.

Her existence is far from the definition she knew as a child, working in her parents’ garden and baking in the kitchen with her grandmother in a country where multiple generations of her family before her lived.

“My home is probably never going to be what I thought home was supposed to be,” she says.

“There’s a lot of tension in my work, and it stems from these contradicting emotions.”

Laskowska’s unpainted clay vessels are handbuilt, and the ones that start as molds eventually are manipulated by hand so that each piece is unique. Her latest body

of work, titled “A state in which the opposing forces are not equal and don’t cancel out each other,” features graceful, organic bowl- and teacup-like forms with colander-like holes in circular patterns.

Laskowska has taught before, both English (her first degree) and ceramics (her master’s degree). For college classes, she followed a set curriculum. At the Lawrence Arts Center, she says, many of her students are experienced, arriving with their own ideas and a drive to learn new techniques.

“Here, people come because they want to learn,” Laskowska says. “I feel it’s more of an exchange than being a person of authority.”

Arts Center Director Susan Tate says the Arts Center expects Laskowska to have a lot to offer.

“Her enthusiasm for working in the studio with students of all ages and backgrounds was engaging,” she says, “and combined with her technical expertise as a ceramics artist and her interest in taking her own work to the next level make her a perfect fit.”

OFF THE BEATEN PLATE

IKURA NIGIRI

What is it? A spoonful of silky, salty, orangey-red salmon roe (i.e.: eggs) over sticky rice, with a loop of nori to hold the piece together (that’s the darkgreen seaweed you’ll find Sara Shepherd/Journal-World Photo around sushi of most any Ikura nigiri sushi, topped variety). Ikura nigiri is an with raw quail eggs, at Wa, example of gunkan-maki, 740 Mass. or battleship, style sushi.

Where to get it: Wa, 740 Mass.

What you’ll pay: $5 plus tax for two pieces.

Try it with: Uzura — raw quail egg — on top (pictured). Like runny eggs on top of your toast? Kind of the same idea.

Also on the menu: More nigiri (smelt roe, octopus and various types of fish, to name a few), house specialties such as Dol

Sot Bi Bim Bob (a Korean dish of vegetable and beef served over rice in a hot stone bowl) and dozens of specialty sushi rolls. Wa’s best-seller is the Kansas Roll — it’s a little spicy, a little crunchy AND it’s served on fire.

In a memoir ‘that’s not a memoir,’ David Byrne explains how music works

By David L. Ulin

Brian Godinez, cartoonist, Lawrence “‘Havana Nocturne’ (by T.J. English). It’s about the mafia in Cuba. It’s interesting to find out what it was like before the revolution.”

Rolph Petermann, runs Whatever Forever music label, Lawrence “‘Leaflet Zine’ (by Sarita Mahinay and Kate Head).

It’s pretty creative. It’s a mix of simple poetry to cartoons to streaming consciousness.”

Isabelle Krones, middle school student, Lawrence “‘Catching Fire’ (by Suzanne Collins). It interests me. It’s a lot of what will happen to us in the future.”

Los Angeles Times

David Byrne is, to use one of his favorite words, a context unto himself.

Founding member of Talking Heads, he blew up the concept of that band at least three times before disbanding it in 1988 for good.

By then, he was already a film director, artist and composer, working on projects such as Robert Wilson’s 1985 “The Knee Plays” and Twyla Tharp’s 1981 ballet “The Catherine Wheel.”

In the years since, he has created his own world music record label, written movie soundtracks and published half a dozen books. The most recent, “Bicycle Diaries,” is nothing less than the manifesto of a committed bicyclist. And this week he releases “Love This Giant,” a joint album with the singer-songwriter known as St. Vincent.

The idea of context is all over Byrne’s new book, “How Music Works,” a musician’s memoir that is not a musician’s memoir but moves back and forth from the personal to more eclectic considerations: the various elements required to “make a scene” (appropriate venues, cheap rent, “a sense of alienation” from prevailing tastes in music) or the influence of technology on art.

“I didn’t want to write a memoir,” Byrne says by phone from his Manhattan office, voice firm but reedy, almost like his singing. “So I started thinking about music in a different way.”

Rather than just tell the story of his own career, he preferred to see it as a path to something: a case study, an example of how to live the musician’s life.

Byrne wasn’t starting from scratch, exactly; he had some pieces, including the text of a Technol-

Byrne, after all, has often built his projects through accretion, going back to his days in Talking Heads. In “How Music Works,” he describes how a technique of “‘incomplete’ recording” developed while working on the 1979 album “Fear of Music”: a process in which the band would lay down basic tracks and then embellish, Byrne improvising his lyrics to the groove.

“How Music Works” is something of a text equivalent of that, a collection of pieces that dovetail and overlap like the instruments in a song. It all grows out of that opening chapter, which asserts “that context largely determines what is written, painted, sculpted, sung, or performed.”

As an example, he cites CBGB, ground zero of the New York punk/new wave scene of the 1970s, the bar that nurtured the bands Television, the Ramones, Blondie and the Patti Smith Group, as well as Talking Heads.

All of these musicians, Byrne suggests, wrote songs to fit that atmosphere, where “(p)eople drink, make new friends, shout, and fall down, so

Shaping leaders’ lives: a look at first moms

Michael Peterson, student, Lawrence “‘A Confederacy of Dunces’ (by John Kennedy

By Kim Hone-Mcmahan Toole). It’s great social Akron Beacon Journal satire. It was written decades ago, but is It’s no secret that mothhilarious in a laugh-outers shape their children’s loud sort of way.” lives. Even if you are president of the United States, Mom still thinks of you as her baby. “First Mothers”

by Beverly Gherman and Julie Downing tells about some of the odd and interesting natures of the women who, in a roundabout way, helped shape this country.

Barbara Pierce Bush, mother of George W. Bush, worried about her weight Loni Lacour, until she was an adult. waitress, When her husband ran for Lawrence president in 1988, his ad“‘Amy My Daughter’ (by visers suggested she make Mitch Winehouse). It’s some style changes, but really interesting because while Barbara agreed to I am a big fan of Amy do most anything to better Winehouse.” herself, she refused to dye her hair or go on a diet.

During the summers, the Bush family spent time in Maine. She hired two black women to help with her five children on the drive from Texas. When the women were denied lodging because of the color of their skin, Barbara

refused to stay there, telling the owners she would find a place that would take all of them.

Bill Clinton’s mom, Virginia Clinton Kelley, taught her son to “be who you want to be and don’t worry about what people say about you.” The book explains that she was married five times, wore heavy makeup, and kept a white streak in her hair so she would be noticed.

Though her family was wealthy, Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy, the mother of John F. Kennedy, made her children work for their allowance. Her husband, Joe Kennedy, was a bank president who had affairs with many glamorous women.

Rose Kennedy experienced grief beyond imagining, losing three sons and one daughter to early deaths. Another daughter was institutionalized.

Abraham Lincoln’s mother, Nancy Hanks Lincoln, was very talented. In addition to being a seamstress and a singer, she could out-wrestle many of the men in her town.

the performers had to play loud enough to be heard above that — and so it was, and is.”

This is what Byrne means when he says that “music is affected by all these different contexts” — that it must exist in, and respond to, the outside world. It is a public art, first and foremost, whether we encounter it via digital recordings or on the concert stage.

“It was a huge revelation,” Byrne says, finding a link between punk rock and more formal world traditions, “to see performances of Kabuki theater, or Balinese gamelan music, where

people wandered in and out of shows. It was like seeing a show in a club — nobody minded — which led me to make connections between different styles of music and performance.”

There is, in other words, an interplay between performer and audience, a sense of the moment, that all music shares.

To underscore these and other relationships, Byrne pushes “How Music Works” into unexpected directions, including two chapters on the history of recording, and others that describe what happens in a studio as well as how the music business works.

You’ll also notice some new features, and some features that are familiar whether you take your news in print or online.

We’re doubling down on our popular Best Bets blog, adding it in print to highlight must-do events from Sunday through Wednesday. Our picks for the weekend can be found online at Lawrence.com.

We’ll also tell you about features worth checking out that you’ll only be able to find online, so look for the circular L.com logo that signifies there’s more to find at Lawrence.com.

On the back page of this section, you’ll find a comprehensive list of events for the entire week, as well as Sunday’s television listings (which will appear on the Journal-World’s Weather page every other day the week).

From our Food section, we’ve poached two features: Off the Beaten Plate, Sara Shepherd’s fun take on adventurous menu items at area restaurants, and Chad Lawhorn’s Town Talk column, which reports on the latest local business and restaurant news.

We’ve also moved some longtime features out of the Sunday entertainment section. You’ll now find Style Scout in Go! magazine, which runs every Monday.

Faith Forum has moved to Saturday’s Society page, and the Home & Garden page will begin appearing in Thursday’s edition of the Journal-World.

In the coming weeks, we’ll be rolling out more features, including a column about Kansas City events; Lawrence Libations, about interesting drinks you can find at local establishments; and a feature we’re calling Gallery, which includes user-submitted photos from social events like charity fundraisers, tailgates, theater performances and more (to submit a photo, email us the image and a caption at aparker@ljworld.com).

Also, film critic Eric Melin will bring his Scene Stealers column to the revamped section, highlighting local film news and must-see new releases.

And, of course, we’ll continue publishing familiar features such as Arts Notes, Behind the Lens, Artist Portrait and more here in this section.

We’re excited about this new section, and we hope you are, too. Please visit us at Lawrence.com, find us on Twitter (@Lcom) or on Facebook (facebook.com/ lawrencekansas). And feel free to drop me a line with any feedback.

Thanks for reading.

College loans bring cosigning woes Dear Annie: My daughter, “Gina,” was the first one in our family to go to college. Of course, we all were proud. She chose a school that was rather pricey, but she had some scholarships and loans.

She graduated last year.

In college, Gina needed me to be a cosigner on her loan. Now I am discovering the cost of doing so. Gina did not get a job right after graduation, and her bills have come due in a big way.

The loan companies are demanding their money and are going to start tapping Gina’s wages.

She makes just enough to get by as it is.

I understand the loan companies are due their money, but they are not willing to work with Gina so she can pay an affordable amount each month. I assume they will get around to going after my wages, as well, and I can’t afford that,

Now I know why college is so unaffordable for most people. I worry for my daughter and am not sure what to do. — Stressed in Pennsylvania Dear Stressed: We spoke with Gail Cunningham, vice president of Membership and Public Relations at the National Foundation for Credit Counseling. She said to first be sure that the threat of garnishment is real, since many states do not allow it.

HBO show is kind liked

by Emmys “Treme” (9 p.m. Sunday, HBO) returns for a third season of overlapping personal tales of New Orleans residents and exiles, folks still reeling from Hurricane Katrina and still deeply defined by their affections for their flawed, wounded city. They include an overeager DJ and music enthusiast (Steve Zahn), who leads pathetic walking tours of the city’s jazz historical sites and stoically faces the scorn of jaded foreign tourists who are aghast that a city and a nation could allow the birthplace of a culture to be turned into a parking lot or a Laundromat. On the other side of the equation, some Crescent City exiles express joy and relief to be far from their hometown of “drunks and dreamers.”

The truth about life in New Orleans lies somewhere between these two extremes, and “Treme” continues to search for it in an entertaining, beautifully shot, well-acted and meandering fashion.

Dramas like “Treme” demonstrate weekly how the best on television is often equal to or superior to anything Hollywood has to offer on the big screen.

But no one will ever accuse the Emmy Awards (7 p.m. Sunday, ABC) of being more important than the Oscars. That’s strange, considering that people are generally more familiar with the material honored at the Emmys than the Oscars, which often rewards more obscure films of artistic merit. Perhaps familiarity breeds contempt.

Here are her further recommendations: Since both you and your daughter are responsible for the debt, but neither can make the full payment, consider splitting it.

When a collector calls, ask to speak to a supervisor. Explain why you are behind in payments and your plan to resolve the situation. The collector’s goal is to get as much money as he or she can, so it may appear that they’re not going to budge. However, it is critical that you stick to your plan, as doing otherwise will only lead to more problems.

Congress seeks clarity from election for what it should do

By Donna Cassata Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A frustrated Congress quit Washington on Saturday with at least one hope — that the stark choice in the election ahead will give lawmakers clarity about what Americans want from their government.

They desperately need some direction.

Lawmakers will return in about seven weeks and face a crowded list of must-do items, topped by avoiding what’s become known as the fiscal cliff: the combination of expiring George W. Bush-era tax cuts and automatic spending cuts that could drive the country back into recession.

Two years of rancor and a divided government resulted in one of the least productive Congresses in history. President Barack Obama piled on in his weekly radio address.

“Without much fanfare, members of the House of Representatives banged a gavel, turned out the lights, and rushed home, declaring their work finished for now,” Obama told Americans, while failing to mention the Democratic-controlled Senate.

“If that frustrates you, it should — because their work isn’t finished.”

In the early morning hours Saturday, the Senate cleared and sent Obama a bill to keep the government running for another six months. The temporary measure is a reflection of lawmakers’ failure to complete any of the 12 spending bills by the Oct. 1 start of the fiscal year.

The nation will have to wait until after the election for Congress to deal with taxes, spending cuts, the farm bill and the cashstrapped Postal Service.

It comes as no surprise to lawmakers that their public approval has plummeted to about 12 percent.

“I literally get on a plane with a baseball hat and hope to God nobody knows who I am because they’re just going to yell at me,” two-term Rep. Tom Rooney, R-Fla., said Friday as lawmakers prepared to flee the Capitol.

Members of Congress are counting on the voters, faced with a straightforward choice in the election, to decide a way forward.

The candidates and parties present two competing philosophies. Obama and Democrats envision a government with enough resources to help lift up the less fortunate. Mitt Romney and Republicans see a government that gets out of the way, allowing people to make the most in an opportunistic society.

The difficulty for lawmakers is the presidential election of 2008 and the congressional contests of 2010 contradicted each other.

“The electorate has sent us, has sent the country two very different messages over the last two elections,” said freshman Rep. Mick Mulvaney, RS.C. “They elected the most liberal president in a long time and then the most conservative group to the House of Representatives two years later.

That is the conflicting message.”

THREE AMUR TIGER CUBS rest by a fallen tree limb at the Tiger Mountain exhibit at the Bronx Zoo in New York in this Sept. 20, 2010, photo provided by the Wildlife Conservation Society. Authorities say a visitor at the Bronx Zoo leaped from an elevated monorail train and plummeted into the exhibit, where he was mauled by a tiger.

Mauled man wanted to be ‘one with the tiger’

By Tom Hays Associated Press

NEW YORK — Before his now-infamous tangle with a Bronx Zoo tiger, David Villalobos adorned his Facebook page with New Age odes to Mother Earth and affirmations like, “Be love and fearless.”

Police said Saturday that Villalobos had told detectives that it was without fear that he leaped from an elevated train into the animal’s den. His reason, they said, was that “he wanted to be one with the tiger.”

Villalobos also recounted how, after he landed on all fours, the 400-pound beast attacked him and dragged around by his foot, said New York Police Department spokesman Paul Browne. Despite serious injuries, he claimed he was able to get his wish and pet the tiger — a male Siberian named Bashuta — before his rescue, the spokesman added.

Based on those admis-

sions and a complaint from the zoo, police were planning to arrest the hospitalized Villalobos on trespassing charges, Browne said. It was unclear when that would happen or if the 25-year-old real estate agent had an attorney; attempts to reach relatives on Saturday were unsuccessful.

Police had said earlier that Villalobos admitted to a police officer at the scene that he made a conscious decision to jump — “Everyone has a reason for what they do in life,” he was quoted as saying — but that his motives were murky and an arrest uncertain.

That changed when, during a follow-up interview Saturday, Villalobos told detectives that “his leap was definitely not a suicide attempt, but a desire to be one with the tiger,” Browne said.

Villalobos remained hospitalized with bites and punctures on his arms, legs, shoulders and back, and a broken arm and a leg caused by the jump.

GM offers big discounts to boost Volt sales Americans slow to embrace electric cars at higher price

By Tom Krisher Associated Press

DETROIT — General Motors rolled out the Chevrolet Volt two years ago with lofty sales goals and the promise of a new technology that someday would help end America’s dependence on oil.

So it seemed like a good thing in August when sales of the $40,000 car set a monthly record of 2,800.

But a closer look shows that things aren’t what they seem for the cutting-edge car.

Sales rose mostly because of discounts of almost $10,000, or 25 percent of the Volt’s sticker price, according to figures from TrueCar.com, an auto pricing website.

Other pricing services gave similar numbers, and dealers confirmed that steeply discounted Volts are selling better than a few months ago.

GM’s discounts on the Volt are more than four times the industry’s pervehicle average, according to TrueCar estimates. Edmunds.com and J.D. Power and Associates say they’re about three times the average. Discounts include low-interest financing, cash

A 2012 CHEVROLET VOLT SITS Feb. 19 at a Chevrolet dealership in the south Denver suburb of Englewood, Colo. Sales of the Volt set a monthly record of 2,800 in August, mostly because of steep discounts. discounts to buyers, sales bonuses to dealers, and subsidized leases.

Americans have been slow to embrace electric cars. But the Volt’s August sales show they’re willing to buy if prices are low enough. Even so, electrics have a long way to go before they enter the mainstream and make money for car companies. Electrics and gas-electric hybrids account for just 3.5 percent of U.S. auto sales this year.

GM is losing thousands of dollars on every Volt, raising the question of how long it can keep eating the steep losses.

For the foreseeable future, carmakers will have to cut prices to move electric vehicles off dealer lots. The nonpartisan Congressional

Budget Office says the cost of electric cars must drop to be competitive with gasoline-powered ones.

GM executives have conceded from the start that they were losing money on the Volt, and that was before the big discounts.

Now the losses could be even higher. It costs $60,000 to $75,000 to build a Volt, including development, manufacturing and raw materials, estimates Sandy Munro, president of Munro & Associates, a Troy, Mich., a company that analyzes vehicle production expenses for automakers. Much of the cost comes from an expensive combination of two power systems — electric and gasoline. With a sticker price of $40,000, minus

the $10,000 the company pays in incentives, GM gets roughly $30,000 for every Volt. So it could be losing at least $30,000 per car.

“It certainly wasn’t a rousing success,” says Carter Driscoll, senior analyst for CapStone Investments who follows electric cars, discussing the Volt.

GM confirmed there are incentives on the Volt and that the company loses money on the car. But the automaker declined to give figures for the discounts or the losses. The figures exclude a federal tax credit that goes to buyers.

The automaker says Munro’s estimate is high because it doesn’t spread the Volt’s costs far enough into the future, when more Volts will be sold. Automakers typically spend $1 billion or more to develop a car, and sometimes don’t recoup the investment and start making money until late in its life. Also, Volt technology will be used in future cars and trucks, eventually leading to profits, the company says.

GM spokesman Jim Cain says most of the Volt discounts come in the form of lease deals, which account for about twothirds of sales. In some markets, Volts can be leased for $249 per month with $2,400 down.

“We’re trying to create a market for a brand-new technology,” Cain said.

Spaceport is built, but who will come?

By Jeri Clausing Associated Press

TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCN.M. — New Mexico Tourism Secretary Monique Jacobson says it will be New Mexico’s Sydney Opera House. Virgin Galactic Chairman Richard Branson has hinted it will host the first of his new brand of lifestyle hotels. And the eclectic hot springs town of Truth or Consequences has been anxiously awaiting all the economic development the nearly quarter-of-abillion-dollar project is supposed to bring to this largely rural part of southern New Mexico.

But as phase one of Spaceport America, the world’s first commercial port built specifically for sending tourists and payloads into space, is nearing completion, the only new hotel project that has been finalized is a Holiday Inn Express here in Truth or Consequences, about 25 miles away. And three key companies with millions of dollars in payroll have passed on developing operations in the state.

The lagging development, along with competition from heavy hitters like Florida and Texas, is raising new questions about the viability of the $209 billion taxpayerfunded project — as well as the rush by so many states to

BRITISH BILLIONAIRE SIR RICHARD BRANSON drinks champagne after rappelling down the side of the Spaceport America hangar Oct. 17, 2011, in Upham, N.M. grab a piece of the commercial spaceport pie. To date, nine spaceports are planned around the United States, mostly at existing airports, and another 10 have been proposed, according to a recent report from the New Mexico Spaceport Authority.

“Right now, the industry is not there to support it,” Alex Ignatiev, a University of Houston physics professor and adviser to space companies, said of the list of planned and proposed spaceports across America.

Andrew Nelson, COO of XCOR Aerospace, disagrees, saying “in the next couple to three years, there’s going to be a demonstrative reduction in the cost to launch stuff ... so we are going to have a lot more people coming out of the woodwork.”

Currently, the Spaceport can count on two rocket companies that send vertical payloads into space and Virgin Galactic, the Branson space tourism venture that says it has signed up more than 500 wealthy adventurers for $200,000-per-person spaceflights. Other leaders in the race to commercialize the business and send tourists into space have been passing on New Mexico.

For example, XCOR Aerospace, which manufactures reusable rocket engines for major aerospace contractors and is designing a two-person space vehicle called the Lynx, has twice passed over New Mexico in favor of Texas and Florida. Most recently, it announced plans to locate its new Commercial Space Research and Development Center Headquar-

ters in Midland, Texas.

Another company, RocketCrafters, Inc., passed over New Mexico for Titusville, Fla. And the space tourism company of SpaceX, is looking at basing a plant with $50 million in annual salaries to Brownsville, Texas.

Locally, officials blame the lack of new businesses on the legislature’s refusal to pass laws that would exempt spacecraft suppliers from liability for passengers should the spacecraft crash or blow up.

When New Mexico was developing Spaceport in partnership with Virgin Galactic, it passed a law to exempt the carrier through 2018, but not parts suppliers.

Colorado, Florida, Texas and Virginia have adopted permanent liability exemption laws for both carriers and suppliers.

The laws, called informed consent, are much like those that exempt ski areas from lawsuits by skiers, who waive their rights for claims when they buy a ski pass. Spaceport officials emphasize the carriers and suppliers would not be exempt from damage on the ground, or in cases of gross negligence.

“The issue is informed consent legislation,” said Truth or Consequences Mayor John Mulcahy. “We need to get that passed.”
