City mulls landlord crackdown

POEHLER, PAST TO PRESENT

New policy would allow quicker resolution in cases of too many tenants

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

A crackdown may be coming against landlords who allow too many tenants to live in single-family houses across Lawrence.

City commissioners at their meeting Tuesday will review a proposal that would give city staff members much broader authority to revoke the licenses of landlords who allow more than three unrelated tenants to live in single-family homes.

“These are big changes from how we’re doing this right now,” said Brian Jimenez, code CITY enforcement manager for the COMMISSION city.

Under the proposal, the city would start using the city rental licensing program as leverage to get problem landlords to comply with a city code that says no more than three unrelated people can live in a single-family home. The Please see CITY, page 2A

DEVELOPER TONY KRSNICH, A KANSAS UNIVERSITY GRADUATE, is getting ready to take on one of his biggest projects, a redevelopment of the old Poehler Building at Eighth and Delaware streets in east Lawrence. Krsnich wants to turn the building into modern, rent-controlled apartments. Check out a video of the building at LJWorld.com.

Developer wants to breathe new life into east Lawrence

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

DEVELOPER TONY KRSNICH shows off the inside of the Poehler Building in east Lawrence, which he plans to convert into about 50 apartments. AT TOP, AN OLD PHOTO SHOWS some of the people who worked for Theodore Poehler, the great-great-grandfather of John Pendleton, Lawrence, who came to the Midwest and started the Poehler Wholesale Warehouse on East Eighth Street, where products were shipped all over Kansas in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

A bush that wants to be a tree blocks the stairs to one of the few doors left unboarded on this east Lawrence building.

High above it are threefoot-high letters that spell out “Theo. Poehler Mercantile Co. Wholesale Grocers.” In a nod to a different era, the sign is most visible from the railroad tracks that sit just a few feet away.

But those letters are all faded.

The ones that now stand out are of the spray paint variety — the ones that have made this building little more than a testament to the creativity of graffiti gangs.

Something — an elephant, perhaps — stands at least six feet tall on one of the brick walls. It has a trunk, or, at least, let’s hope that is a trunk. Other graffiti markings rise along a thin-railed, steel ladder that stretches to the very top of the old building — all four stories of it — just off the Please see POEHLER, page 6A

Nick Benson rose before the sun Saturday morning so he could begin his preparations for Kansas University’s football game against Texas Tech.

By 8:15 a.m., he was at KU Recycling’s warehouse dragging bins into a truck. Just as tailgaters were getting into full swing, Benson pulled up the truck in front of Memorial Stadium and started

unloading those bins.

Weaving among grills, tents and fans, Benson scattered the 25 recycling bins throughout the stadium’s bustling tailgating area. As he did, fans thanked him, asked what could be recy-

By the time the football game started, Benson was ready to move on across the street, where crowds of students still stood drinking beer.

DEATHS

Health care

Laurence R. Draper Memorial services for Professor Emeritus Laurence R. Draper, 81, of Lawrence, Kansas will be held at 10:00 am Saturday, October 22, at Immanuel Lutheran Church, Bob Billings Parkway and Iowa Street, Lawrence.

Dr. Draper Draper died Sunday September 18, 2011 at Shawnee Mission Medical Center in the comfort of his family.

He was born in New York City on April 14, 1930, the son of Alfred Avery and Margaret Anderson Draper. He grew to maturity following the events of WWII, modeling airplanes and walking the streets with the civil patrol. He had a passion for music throughout his schooling that continued for the remainder of his life. He also worked in the clinical laboratory of his father, a bacteriologist. It was his claim that this exposure prepared his immune system for nearly any onslaught — and it is true that he very rarely was ill.

He graduated from Middlebury College in Vermont with a Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry and Biology, and he was awarded his PhD in 1956 by the University of Chicago in Microbiology. His research in bioradiation under Dr. and Dr. Taliaferro is still the standard by which many students currently learn immunology.

From 1957 until 1968 he was first a Resident Research Associate at the Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois, and then a Research Biologist

for the National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health, in Bethesda, Md. In 1968 he joined the faculty at the University of Kansas and continued teaching and research for the next forty years as professor in the departments of Microbiology and then Molecular Biosciences. He served as President in faculty governance. In addition to teaching, he became a Faculty Advisor in 1998 and continued those responsibilities until his death.

He earned many prestigious teaching awards throughout his career including the Ned N. Fleming Trust Award for Teaching Excellence, the J. Michael Young Academic Advising Award, and (three times) the Mortar Board Outstanding Educator Award. He had a true passion and gift for teaching by transfer of fascination.

After retiring in 2008, he continued advising and teaching honors classes at the University of Kansas.

As well as enjoying frequent stays with his far-flung relatives, he loved to travel, including a recent trip with family and friends to his favorite spots in Holland. His beloved dog Kia preceded him in death.

Survivors include one sister, Diane Draper Walker of Huntington, New York; two sons, Paul Avery Draper and Keith Allen Draper, of Austin, Texas, and two grandsons.

The family suggests memorials to the University of Kansas Endowment via Prof. Stephen Benedict, Department of Molecular Biosciences.

BARRY L. WHITAKER Graveside services for Barry L. Whitaker, 58, Lawrence, will be at 2 p.m. Monday at Oak Hill Cemetery.

He died Friday, Sept. 30, 2011, at Lawrence Memorial Hospital.

Mr. Whitaker was born June 3, 1953, in Medicine Lodge, the son of Gary Whitaker and Joy Neal. He was a general laborer in Lawrence for many years and was a 1971 graduate of Lawrence High School.

He is survived by a son, Adam and wife Tia, Lawrence; his mother, Joy Beckner, Lawrence; his father,

Gary, Arizona; two sisters, Jana Hinz, Murfreesboro, Tenn., and Jill Stoneback, Lawrence; two brothers, Greg, Lampe, Mo., and Jerry, Las Vegas; and three granddaughters, Katelyn Marie, Mackenzie Nichole and Paityn Morgan Whitaker.

Friends may call from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. Monday at Lawrence Chapel Oaks Funeral Home.

The family suggests memorials to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital.

Rick Hill, 41, of Mission, decided to become a physical therapist after 10 years in advertising. He said he was laid off from a company in January 2008 and from a different company in February 2009.

He spent six months looking for work and only had a handful of interviews.

“The longer that I was out, the more I didn’t want to go back,” he said.

He decided to pursue a degree in physical therapy at age 38. He was married and a father of a teenage son.

“It all happened really fast,” he said. He was looking into what classes he needed to take on a Monday and was enrolled at Kansas University Medical Center by Friday.

He’s now a first-year student in the physical therapy program and is on track to earn a degree by 2014.

He’s already worked with patients through a nearby safety net clinic where students volunteer.

“My first night there volunteering — that three hours there or so — was more enjoyable and more rewarding than any three hours that I spent in 10 years of advertising. It was great,” he said. Hill said he knew after volunteering at the clinic that he had made the right decision.

Lou Loescher-Junge, associate dean for undergraduate programs in Kansas University’s School of Health Professions, said there’s a significant need for physical therapists in everything from pediatrics to gerontology. She said there also is a growing need in occupational therapy, speech-language pathology, audiology and dietetics.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of occupational therapists is expected to increase by 26 percent between

2008 and 2018, faster than the average for all occupations, and employment of speechlanguage pathologists is expected to grow 19 percent.

Loescher-Junge said if you’re not interested in working with patients, then there are growing fields such as molecular biotechnology and health information management.

Rita Clifford, associate dean for student affairs in KU’s School of Nursing, said there’s a “absolutely” a need for nurses.

She said about 65 percent of this year’s 117 seniors had jobs before they graduated.

Of those who didn’t, she said most hadn’t started looking.

“The job market is still quite good,” she said.

According the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, more than 581,500 new nursing positions will be created through 2018.

That’s a 22 percent increase, making nursing the nation’s top profession in terms of projected job growth.

The nice thing about nursing is there are a number of workplace options, especially with some extra training: a school, safety net clinic, doctor’s office, hospital or health department. Nurse midwives also are becoming more popular.

“I think it’s a great area for people to go into. Not only is it satisfying personally and emotionally in terms of being able to help people, but it’s also very satisfying in terms of having job stability and opportunities,” Clifford said. #"#"#

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD in psychology and business administration and then began working for a Kansas City company that made paper products. She did some traveling sales and managed about 25 employees in the graphic arts department.

“We made paper for a living. We made the sticky pads that the pharmaceutical reps would give doctors who would then give them to patients with drug names on them,” she said. “We made lots and lots of money doing that, but it just wasn’t very rewarding to me at the end of the day.”

She began to seriously rethink her career after reading a Christmas card from a cousin who had switched from journalism to nursing and seemed happier with her career.

“It just hit me like a ton of bricks — nursing. That’s it for me,” she said.

At age 34 and married with two children, ages 4 and 18 months, she decided to go back to school.

“It was a big, big change for us,” she said.

She continued to work while taking nursing prerequisite courses at night. During that time, Nelson’s company began suffering a huge downturn in business, and she had to start laying off employees and cut her own wages.

“It was a torturous 18 months. I couldn’t wait to get into nursing school and leave all of that behind,” she said.

“It was not pretty.”

In May, she earned her bachelor’s degree in nursing and now works in the intensive care unit at Kansas University Hospital.

“It’s like night and day,” she said of her jobs.

She’s now taking care of patients in a few minutes’ notice. She’s in charge of giving them medications to make sure they’re comfortable and monitoring their vital signs.

Meanwhile, she might be watching, in high definition, a scope camera going down a person’s throat and into their stomach.

“It’s so intense,” she said.

“It’s so different than making paper. I’ve done a 180.”

She used to work about 50 hours a week, and now she works three 12-hour shifts a week. She’s also making a little more money than when she left the Kansas City company. Nelson’s now pursuing a doctorate in nursing.

“It’s very rewarding, and you feel like you are giving back. I haven’t regretted it for a single second,” she said.

“My whole family is happier now. They don’t have mommy coming home to dinner crying at night because of how horrible her job is.”

In 1997, she earned degrees cupancy case. Currently, city inspectors must build a case that is taken to Lawrence Municipal Court, unless the landlord voluntarily agrees to comply. That can take several months, Jimenez said.

Under the proposal, city inspectors would be allowed to make an administrative finding that the property is violating occupancy standards.

If property owners disagree, the appeal process would go to the City Commission — although a landlord always has the ability to sue the city in a court of law.

“We’re not going to be too quick to pull the trigger on any case,” said Jimenez.

“We’re going to make sure that there is a violation. But we think this process could take a few weeks instead of three or four months.”

City commissioners asked staff members in June to come up with ideas for strengthening enforcement of the occupancy code, which has been a major concern of several residents who believe their neighborhoods are becoming dominated by illegal student housing.

City Commissioner Bob Schumm said he wants to review the proposal in more detail but likes some of what he’s seen so far.

“I’m interested in a stiff fine, I’m interested in clearing up the definition of what constitutes a resident, and I think the revocation of a license certainly would be meaningful and appropriate,” Schumm said.

One key question city commissioners will have to decide, if they move forward, is how long any revocation ought to last.

Schumm said he wants to have a policy that is strong enough to get the attention of the minority of landlords who are violating the law.

“What is going in a lot of neighborhoods right now is reason for worry,” Schumm said. “Sometimes people’s entire net worth is in their homes, and they don’t want to see that vaporized because their neighborhood has turned into something completely different than what it used to be.”

City commissioners meet at 6:35 p.m. Tuesday at City Hall.

700 arrested after protest on bridge More than 700 protesters demonstrating against corporate greed, global warming and social inequality, among other grievances, were arrested Saturday after they swarmed the Brooklyn Bridge and shut down a lane of traffic for several hours in a tense confrontation with police.

The group Occupy Wall Street has been camped out in a plaza in Manhattan’s Financial District for nearly two weeks staging various marches, and had orchestrated an impromptu trek to Brooklyn on Saturday afternoon. They walked in thick rows on the sidewalk up to the bridge, where some demonstrators spilled onto the roadway after being told to stay on the pedestrian pathway, police said.

The majority of those arrested were given citations for disorderly conduct and were released, police said.

Some protesters sat on the roadway, chanting “Let us go,” while others chanted and yelled at police from the pedestrian walkaway above. Police used orange netting to stop the group from going farther down the bridge, which is under construction.

President champions gay troops In a sharp rebuke of his Republican rivals, President Barack Obama said anyone who wants to be commander in chief must support the entire U.S. military, including gay service members.

A combative Obama criticized GOP presidential candidates for staying silent when the crowd at a recent debate booed a gay soldier who asked a question of the contenders via videotape.

“You want to be commander in chief? You can start by standing up for the men and women who wear the uniform of the United States, even when it’s not politically convenient,” Obama said during remarks at the annual dinner of the Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s largest gay rights organization.

Referencing the boos at the Sept. 22 Republican debate, he said: “We don’t believe in standing silent when that happens.”

Obama touted his administration’s efforts to repeal the military’s ban on openly gay service members, as well as his orders to the Justice Department to stop enforcing a law defining marriage as between one man and one woman.

But, as expected, Obama stopped short of endorsing gay marriage, saying only that “every single American deserves to be treated equally in the eyes of the law.”

Residents get taste of farm life on tour

Lawrence residents Sara Taliaferro and Mark Jakubauskas, along with their 6-year-old twin daughters, Allison and Cecelia, stayed away from the hustle and bustle of Kansas University Homecoming on Saturday, instead opting for a leisurely day hopping around the seventh annual Kaw Valley Farm Tour.

“This is a much better pace,” said Taliaferro, as Allison and Cecelia showed their chocolatey choices at their second stop of the day, Sleepy Jean’s Confections, just south of Clinton Lake.

The theme of KU Homecoming 2011 was “From Lawrence With Love.”

The White House and congressional Republicans just can’t agree on the best prescription for the economy, with President Barack Obama demanding passage of his $447 billion jobs bill and the GOP pushing to cut government red tape.

Both efforts, the focus of competing radio and Internet addresses Saturday, face little chance of success as all-or-nothing proposals in a divided Congress.

Three weeks after Obama submitted his legislation, the Democratic-controlled Senate has yet to consider it.

“It is time for Congress to get its act together and pass this jobs bill so I can sign it into law,” he said in his Saturday address.

The president has mounted a steady public campaign on behalf of his bill, trying to cast Congress and Republicans in particular as obstacles. With a populist flair, Obama has barnstormed across the country to prod Congress, so far to no avail.

School consolidation group to meet Monday

By Mark Fagan mfagan@ljworld.com

The agenda is set for the next meeting of the Central and East Lawrence Elementary School Consolidation Working Group, with both procedural and content-oriented topics up for discussion.

The meeting, set for 7 p.m.

Monday, will begin with clarification of what group members had decided two weeks earlier regarding how they would reach decisions by consensus.

Members had decided then, by general consensus, that conclusions would be affirmed unless “blocked” by at least five members of the 27-member working group.

The group is charged

That was after another advisory group, the Lawrence Elementary School Facility Vision Task Force, recommended that the district come up with a plan outlining how (not if) schools should be consolidated, as a way to save money and provide efficient, effective services in a period of persistent budget cuts and other financing challenges.

Members of the working group come from the communities of the six schools identified as candidates for consolidation, plus two from Woodlawn School and an atlarge chairman.

For years, Cans for the Community has been a presence at the tailgates setting out bins and handing out trash bags for aluminum cans. The nonprofit then sells those cans and gives the money back to local organizations.

But other wastes, such as plastics and glass, weren’t being recycled. And that was hard for Benson, who works for KU Recycling and is a member of KU Environs, to accept.

more needs to be done when it comes to cutting down the waste that ends up in landfills after each football game.

‘Beginning steps’ No study has ever been done on just how much trash is generated during a KU football game or any other KU sporting event. But as evidenced by the four massive roll-off dumpsters parked in front of the stadium’s northeast entrance, it’s a lot. “They get completely filled up, and the majority of that can be recycled,� Benson said. “This is real low-hanging fruit for the university, and it is a real opportunity for the university to make a direct impact immediately.�

JD Loudabarger, assistant athletic director for events services, acknowledges that more could be done. “The potential is there for sure. We are right at the beginning steps of it. And we truly hope to take pretty big leaps within the next couple of years,� he said.

This year, those steps include recycling the trash from the press box.

The bigger challenge will be figuring out how to recycle the trash left behind in the stadium seating area and all the packaging from food vendors.

The most significant plans are for Allen Fieldhouse this

basketball season. Because of the amount of plastic bottles sold at basketball games is much higher than at football games, the fieldhouse already has far more recycling bins in place than the stadium does.

But this winter, Loudabarger said KU Athletics is looking at giving the groups who clean up after the game several hundred dollars more if they agree to sort it for recycling.

From there, the recycling effort could grow. “Basketball is a smaller venue. So we want to see how it is able to be managed, and then we’ll move on to football once we feel comfortable with it,� Loudabarger said.

As for KU Recycling, a student-funded organization that operates on a staff of three full-time employees and a group of student workers, there isn’t the time or the money for game day recycling, program coordinator Aileen Dingus said. But they hope some program is implemented. “We are eager to get started with Athletics,� Dingus said.

As for outside the football stadium, thanks to Benson and Cans for the Community, recycling is already in full swing. The aluminum cans go to Cans for the Community, glass that is collected goes to the Walmart Community

Yes, this is east Lawrence’s skyscraper. And no, don’t feel bad if you don’t know a thing about it.

“I went to school here in Lawrence, and so did all of my team,” said Tony Krsnich, a Kansas City developer who is finalizing a purchase of the building in order to undertake a $9 million renovation that will convert it into nearly 50 apartments. “And I didn’t even know it existed.”

It didn’t used to be that way. At one time, this building and the activity that surrounded it was hard to miss.

For a time, it was Lawrence’s tallest symbol of a new age of prosperity.

“It was a major building one time, and it could be again,” said John Pendleton, whose great-great-grandfather was the Theo. Poehler whose name fades a little more each day. !"!"!

— Kansas City developer Tony Krsnich By the end of the Civil War, Poehler was rich enough that he embarked on a “sightseeing expedition.” The trip took him south to Kansas City, which he described as a “mud hole.” But Lawrence, and the emphasis it placed on education, was a town he liked. He moved his family here, and by 1883 a business directory listed Poehler as having a wholesale grocery and grain elevator firm that employed 22 men and had annual revenues of about $200,000, or about $4.5 million today.

Poehler went on to become the treasurer of Douglas County and the mayor of Lawrence, for a short period of time. And the building that his son built, who died three years after it was completed, did go on to spark a renaissance of sorts.

“It really did become a very important area for Lawrence,” said Lynn Zollner, the city’s historic resources administrator, who worked on getting the area designated as the East Lawrence Industrial Historic District in 2007.

“Lawrence really became kind of a center for food production for this region.”

According to documents compiled as part of the historic district process, Douglas County’s apple crop routinely produced more than 60,000 barrels of apples, and at various times four cider and vinegar plants operated simultaneously in Lawrence, with some of them also making pickles, ketchup, jellies and other products. Pendleton tells of how his family remembers the area being a hub for potatoes and peas and other produce that eventually led to the Pendletons opening up the Kaw Valley Cannery. It later became a cannery for the Stokely-Van Camp bean company.

“It was big business for Kansas and the whole area, for awhile,” Pendleton said.

The Poehler Mercantile Co. became one of the largest grocery wholesalers in the region, using the city’s railroad connections and easy access to fresh produce grown in the Kaw River valley, to become a major supplier for points west of here. The company later built a warehouse building of equal size in Emporia, and opened branches in Topeka and McPherson.

And it went on that way for a long time. But then it ended. As the 1960s approached, semi-trucks and interstates became even more important than railroads.

“The world just kind of changed,” Pendleton said.

The Journal-World had written several articles about the Poehler Mercantile Co. over the years, but on May 17, 1957, the newspaper carried just a six-paragraph article announcing that the company was halting its operations.

The reasons were left up to your imagination.

It was 1904, and Lawrence had been down on its luck for quite some time. Perhaps this sounds familiar, but there had been an economic crisis.

The Panic of 1893 ushered in a decade of decline for American industry, and it certainly didn’t spare Lawrence.

An East Coast conglomerate owned by some fellows named Carnegie and Morgan bought Lawrence’s Consolidated Barb Wire Factory, the largest private employer in the state. By 1899, they did what conglomerates sometimes do: They closed the plant down. A few years earlier, the city had suffered another lesser-known but still serious economic setback.

The Kansas River bridge for the Leavenworth, Lawrence and Galveston Railroad Co. was removed, depriving the city of one of its industrial calling cards.

So it is not hard to see why in 1904 the community took notice when construction began on a four-story brick warehouse on the former site of the Hauber Cooper Shop.

The fact the Poehler name would be on the side of the building added to the excitement. Theodore Poehler Jr. was leading the project, but it likely was the memory of his father that led residents to be optimistic about the venture.

Theodore Poehler, who died on New Year’s Eve of 1901, had reached near-titan status in Lawrence.

He came with the right pedigree for the job. His ancestral home in Germany had been granted to the family by a prince in feudal times to repay the family for military service “bravely rendered,” according to a history of the family published in 1918.

Poehler grew up the son of educators, but also with a grandfather who was a soldier under Napoleon.

But Poehler’s interests turned to America at an early age. By the time he was 19, he was on a steamboat in the Mississippi River, traveling from New Orleans to Burlington, Iowa. There he became a supplier to the steamboats, and eventually ended !"!"! up in the retail and wholesale The Poehler building has grocery business. been sparking the imagination

of Krsnich since he first saw it a little more than a year ago.

“It does take a little bit of vision to look past the boarded up windows, but it is one hell of a building,” Krsnich said.

Inside, it is one heck of a mess right now. Shards of glass crunch beneath your feet on many a step, and insulation and other ceiling material often dangles overhead.

But through it all, the potential is easy enough to see.

Massive amounts of timber bless the building. A solid wooden beam of about 18 inches square runs down the center of the building and makes a man who buys lumber by the foot at a local home improvement store drool.

The ceilings on the ground floor are 12 feet tall, and some still have old pressed tin. Krsnich talks about how the wooden beams will be sandblasted and taken back to their natural state, how tin ceilings will be replaced, and how the building’s signature bay windows will be restored.

“This is going to be someone’s apartment,” Krsnich said, standing in the light of a window that is at least 10 feet tall.

Plans call for the Poehler building to become 49 apartments, all but three of them rent-controlled units — a requirement for the project that is receiving state tax credits.

Krsnich’s group also has purchased the nearby Kansas Fruit Vinegar Company building, or the Cider Vinegar Building as it has been known. As previously reported, Krsnich plans to convert that building into 30 to 40 small artists studios. The space also would include a gallery and an outdoor reception area. The entire project currently is going through the zoning process and eventually will seek incentives through the Neighborhood Revitalization Act and other city programs.

“We believe we’re going to create something that Lawrence hasn’t seen before,” Krsnich said.

And in the process, Krsnich hopes the project will help Lawrence see what it used to be.

“I think it will be impossible for people to drive by here when we are done and not want to become educated about what Lawrence used to be,” Krsnich said. “I just think this whole district is an untapped resource.

“I think this will be an attraction not only in Lawrence, but hopefully for the Midwest. People will want to be here.”

Again.

For Listeria victims, sudden turns for the worse

By Dan Elliott Associated Press

DENVER — Charles Palmer is a hardy 71-year-old former Marine and Vietnam veteran who trains cockatiels to say “Semper Fi” and “Whatcha doin’, man?”

He also loves fruit — and especially melon for lunch.

“He’s never one to get sick,” said his wife, Tammie.

The Colorado Springs man ate a cantaloupe that was purchased in mid-August, his wife said. Within several days, he was overcome by an excruciating headache.

The next morning he was extremely weak and gripped by dry heaves, his wife recalled.

“I started slapping his face and saying, ‘You’ve got to talk to me,’ but he couldn’t,” she said.

She called 911. At the hospital, she said, he was diagnosed with the strain of Listeria blamed for a 19-state outbreak that has killed at least 15 and sickened at least 84.

Palmer’s story is shared by many who one day led normal lives and the next suffered agonizing symptoms, even death, from a pathogen that particularly afflicts the elderly and those with compromised immune systems. It can incubate for as long as two months before sickness sets in.

Symptoms can include fever, muscle aches, diarrhea and other gastrointestinal problems.

Health officials don’t identify victims by name, but The Associated Press has reached five families who have filed lawsuits saying a loved one was sickened by the strain of Listeria cited in the outbreak.

William Thomas Beach of Mustang, Okla., was a feisty, funny man who once got thrown out of a community center because he got into a fight over politics while playing dominoes, one of his six daughters said.

“Daddy hit him,” Debbie Frederick recalled with a chuckle. “He took his politics very, very seriously.”

During a doctor’s visit on June 8, his 87th birthday, Beach announced: “Today is my birth-

Stevens has been hospitalized since August because of Listeria from eating cantaloupe. day, and I want a sucker,” Frederick said. The doctor’s staff presented him with three suckers bound with a ribbon.

In late August, Beach fell and couldn’t get up. His face was red and swollen and he had trouble breathing. He was hospitalized and sent home the next day when his breathing was under control, Frederick said.

“He was dancing in little circles with the nurse because he was so happy to be going home,” she said.

On Sept. 1, his 85-year-old wife, Monette, found him unresponsive on the floor; he was taken back to the hospital and died that day. A few days later, Oklahoma and federal health officials linked his illness to the Listeria outbreak, Frederick said. He had been eating cantaloupe for weeks.

Herbert Stevens of the Denver suburb of Littleton, Colo., is a retired engineer for the U.S. Geological Survey. At 84, he could walk unassisted and get out with his wife to enjoy a concert, despite having had heart surgery 21 years ago and being on oxygen.

On Aug. 22, about 10 days after eating cantaloupe from a local grocery store, Stevens got weak and nauseous. He had tremors and chills, said his daughter, Jeni Exley. At the hospital, his temperature was 102.7 and he was immediately put on antibiotics.

A month later, he’s in a skilled

nursing center. His spirits are good, although he’s weak and sleeps a lot, Exley said.

It’s too early to say what his prognosis is, his daughter said, but he may need a walker to get around and could lose much of his independence.

“How much can an 84-year-old man’s strength come back after having a serious infection?” Exley said.

Clarence Douglas Wells of Catonsville, Md., was a retired Defense Department printer who liked to use pistachio nuts for poker chips when he played cards.

“And he was terrible at playing poker,” his daughter Donna Wells Lloyd said with a laugh. “He didn’t have a poker face.”

Wells, an 87-year-old widower, lived with Lloyd and her husband in Catonsville, outside Baltimore. He was a quiet man with a wry sense of humor, his daughter said.

He was hospitalized Aug. 25 after he retained so much fluid that he gained about nine pounds in three days, Lloyd said. When she visited him, he didn’t complain of discomfort, but she suspects he may have been holding back.

“He hated to be a burden on anybody,” she said.

On Aug. 31, he took a turn for the worse. By the time Lloyd reached his room, he was intubated, and although he was

sedated, he was tugging on the tube, trying to remove it. When he grew calmer, Lloyd dashed home to change clothes. Before she could leave her house, hospital staff called to say his heart had stopped and doctors were trying to revive him. He died that day.

State and local health officials told the family about two weeks later that Wells had died from the Listeria strain in the national outbreak, Lloyd said.

“I was horrified,” she said, especially when she started calculating the odds. “I just couldn’t believe that we could have gotten one out of, what, a million and a half cantaloupes?”

She said health officials haven’t identified how her father contracted Listeria. He had bought a cantaloupe at a produce stand, she said.

In Colorado Springs, Charles Palmer is still hospitalized, and though he can speak again, he’s weak and sometimes confused.

“He thought we were in Arizona a day or two ago,” his wife, Tammie, said.

She can still let loose a throaty, rumbling laugh when she relates her husband’s quirks. But a month into the ordeal, doctors still can’t tell her what the outcome will be, and she sometimes feels overwhelmed.

“I’m worn out,” she said.

“It’s been a long haul. He’s got a long way to go.”

Palmer loved fruit, and some days his entire lunch might be melon, grapes or apples. About two weeks before he got sick, he ate half a cantaloupe.

“We’ll never eat cantaloupe again,” she said. “Ever.”

Energy chief defends clean energy loans WASHINGTON — The Obama administration’s energy chief, facing increased pressure over the failure of solar panel maker Solyndra, defended on Saturday a loan guarantee program that has provided billions of dollars for solar energy and other renewable energy projects.

Energy Secretary Steven Chu said a stimulus law program

that expired Friday will help develop the world’s largest wind farm in Oregon, several large solar power farms in California and Nevada, and the installation of solar panels on 750 rooftops in 28 states, among other projects.

The loan program has become a rallying cry for critics of the Obama administration’s green energy program.

Christie to decide on primary run soon TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is reconsidering his decision to stay out of the race for the White House in 2012 and is expected to make a decision soon, according to several people close to the governor with knowledge of his thinking.

Christie has long said he won’t run in 2012. But those close to the firstterm governor, who spoke only on condition of anonymity because they were not authoChristie rized to speak publicly on the issue, say he is rethinking his hard stance.

A decision will have to come fast. Filing deadlines in primary states are weeks away.

Calls have been intensifying from top GOP donors and party elders for Christie to jump into the race. President Barack Obama’s weak approval ratings and a Republican field that has been struggling to put forward a clear front-runner are also creating an opening for Christie.

Christie may think twice about moving forward, however. GOP latecomers have jumped in to see a big initial splash, only to tread water.

Michele Bachmann leapfrogged ahead of Mitt Romney only to be pushed back when Texas Gov. Rick Perry joined the field in August after months of insisting he had no interest. But after two shaky performances at debates, Perry now, too, seems vulnerable to getting picked off.

Unlike Perry, Christie is at home behind a podium and seems to relish debate — most often with the press corps.

Destroyed Joplin hospital, workers find a way back

You’re Invited to an at

By Sharon Cohen Associated Press

JOPLIN, MO. — The hospital had always been there for the victims of calamity.

It had saved lives, healed the desperately sick, patched up the bruised and bloodied and made them whole again.

It was always a haven — never a victim, itself. Until one spring afternoon when that all changed.

On that day in late May, a black-and-green monster swooped in, its shoulders nearly a mile wide, its savagery unimaginable. One of America’s worst tornadoes in half a century took dead aim at St. John’s Regional Medical Center, barreling through halls and ripping open ceilings. Concrete crumbled. Pipes burst. Windows exploded. The building groaned in agony.

And when it was over, this hospital whose roots here date back to the 1890s was wounded — mortally, it seemed. Its ghostly, nine-story shell looked like the remnants of a nuclear blast.

But this was not the end.

Not for the doctors who toiled in dust and darkness in the building’s final hours, scrambling to remove glass from the wounded, insert IVs and carry the sick to safety.

Not for the nurses who shielded patients with their own bodies, pumped air into the lungs of those struggling to breathe, and jumped into pickup trucks to keep people alive.

Their building would crumble around them, but their hospital would survive.

That was never in doubt. !"!"!"

There was tension in the woman’s voice. “Execute Condition Gray,� she announced on the public address system. Tracy Hernandez had heard plenty of tornado warnings in 30 years of nursing. On May 22, it sounded more ominous.

The lights went out. A generator kicked in, but just for a second. A freight-train-like roar rumbled through the building. Hernandez felt all the air being sucked out of the emergency room. Her ears popped. “Do you feel that?� she asked another nurse. “It’s coming.�

The two nurses covered their elderly stroke patient with a sheet and draped their bodies over her while the woman’s daughter watched in fear. “She kept looking at me like, ‘Are we going to be OK?’� Hernandez recalls.

Terry Burns, a surgical technician, had the same question.

He wondered if that eerie creaking signaled the building’s collapse. He, too, had used his 190-pound frame as armor, covering two nurses protecting a patient in the surgery recovery room one floor above. “Keep your head down!� he yelled, clutching a rattling cart.

When the wind seemed to subside, Burns grabbed a flashlight and moved into the hallway. The back end of 200 mph gusts sucked him closer and closer to a shattered second-floor window.

He gripped the ragged metal frame tightly with his left hand and pressed his right hand and feet against a wall.

There was chaos throughout the building.

Patients screaming. Insulation falling, kicking up blinding dust. Water from broken pipes gushing. With no power, staff resorted to flashlights or the illumination from cell phones to guide them to patients screaming for help.

Within moments, the bloodied and dazed stumbled into the emergency room.

It reminded Hernandez of a zombie movie. Two wet, terrified teens who’d been celebrating high school graduation arrived in fancy dresses. One had wood and glass wedged in her head and back. Another young woman’s scalp had been peeled back. Hernandez stopped the bleeding and sent her to another hospital.

Outside, a man had been impaled by a street sign. Another was crushed under his

VEHICLES AND OTHER DEBRIS lie May 23 near the damaged St. John’s Regional Medical Center hospital in Joplin, Mo., a day after a powerful tornado destroyed much of the city. mangled SUV, which was buried under a peeled-off emergency room roof.

Inside, dogs and cats, lost and scared, had scurried into the emergency room.

In 90 minutes, the hospital evacuated 183 patients.

The makeshift hospital moved a few miles away to Memorial Hall, the town’s community center. The injured arrived by school bus, ambulance, emergency crews and pickups driven by good Samaritans.

Soon, there were people on tables, stretchers, chairs, everywhere.

Dr. Sean Smith treated one woman whose heart stopped after arriving. He had no oxygen, no cardiac monitors.

He put a tube in her trachea, used a bag to push air into her lungs and inserted IVs for heart and blood pressure medication.

Her pulse was restored and she was transferred.

To this day, Smith doesn’t know if she survived. !"!"!"

On the day after, St. John’s faced one question: What’s next? “Our immediate response was our building was destroyed. What do we have to do to get it back up and running?� says Smith, president of Mercy’s clinic group in Joplin and Kansas.

With its 367 beds, St. John’s had served Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas and Oklahoma. It was essential.

But a hospital is a finely tuned machine. It depends on medicines, modern equipment and hundreds of highly skilled people working together. How would St. John’s, now badly broken and missing many of its parts, regroup — and do it fast? “We had to start from scratch,� Smith says. “We could not use most of the medications. The bandages, the dressings, the IVs, everything was damaged from the water or the tornado.�

St. John’s had some salvageable beds. But what about heart monitors? Defibrillators?

Oxygen containers?

St. John’s had one big advantage. As part of a network of 28 Catholic hospitals founded by the Sisters of Mercy, “we were able to pick up the phone in the middle of the night and say, ‘We need supplies,’� Smith says.

Within 12 hours, two semis packed with them arrived at Memorial Hall.

Help came from other states, too. Mobile operating rooms. MRI and CAT scan machines. And volunteer doctors, nurses and paramedics from across the country.

Within days, there was a tentative plan: A tent hospital that had been set up about 75 miles away in Branson for an earthquake drill was dis-

mantled and hauled to Joplin.

The Missouri National Guard’s 117th Engineer Team quickly assembled the MASHlike tent, a network of white canvas tunnels. It had 60 beds, a pharmacy, an intensive care unit and emergency, waiting and operating rooms. Two helipads were created.

It was planted on a parking lot blacktop in the shadow of the old hospital.

At 7 a.m. on May 29, the doors opened. Three minutes later, the first patient. That afternoon, the first surgery — a minor skin abscess removed from a little boy. At 5:45 p.m., about the time the tornado struck seven days earlier, a Catholic bishop blessed the tent with holy water. “It was our first big shot in the arm,� Smith says. “It was pure elation. It was, ‘OK. We’re here to stay. We’re back and running in seven days.’�

On Day 1, Dr. David Hagedorn, an emergency room doctor, was embraced by a woman whose leg he’d stitched up that night.

While he and others were grateful to be working, they quickly discovered practicing medicine in a tent had its downsides: Noisy, elbow-toelbow quarters. Limited supplies. No windows or plumbing.

In mid-June, the staff had its first chance to swap stories when about 2,000 workers gathered for a reunion.

Preliminary sketches of the new hospital were unveiled and a January groundbreaking was announced, evoking cheers.

There was prayer, too, selected from the page open in the Bible in the chapel that day. It was John 15: “This is my commandment. Love one another as I love you. No one has greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.�

It was a healing day for Tracy Hernandez, who’d wrestled with nightmares and tears. “Every time you talk about it,� she says, “it helps peel another layer away from the pain.

Now is the time to lay the foundations for a successful future.

By the end of September, only a tiny part of the tent remained. St. John’s new home — a temporary insulated metal building — has the feel of a regular hospital with floors, automatic doors, windows, water and toilets.

Next spring, a concrete version of St. John’s will be erected a few hundred yards south.

By then, construction will have begun on the new permanent hospital. It will have a second medical campus and cost about $950 million. The opening date: 2014. “It was a sprint the first six weeks,� Smith says. “We’re in a marathon now.�

Many government retirees ‘double dip’

By Danny Robbins, Peter Jackson and Tammy Webber Associated Press

DALLAS — At a state agency in Texas, the executive director is receiving a $123,000-ayear salary even as he is drawing a government pension, as he has for the past eight years. In a struggling Michigan school district, 10 administrators retired, started drawing pension checks and returned immediately as contract employees. A school administrator in Illinois makes a combined $409,000 a year in pension payments and salary for overseeing a public boarding school.

Double-dipping — the well-established practice of public workers collecting government pensions and salaries at the same time — has become a hot topic for lawmakers across the country during these times of severely strained budgets and increased focus on the benefits provided to government employees.

Yet even as some states have begun curbing the practice, a review by The Associated Press found tens of thousands of state and public school employees across the country drawing government salaries along with their pensions.

In five states alone — California, New York, Texas, Florida and Michigan — at least 66,000 government retirees also receive taxpayerfunded paychecks.

The practice has come under fire not just because of the cost of paying both a pension and a salary to the same person. It also can strain public pension funds because the rehired retirees draw from them but do not contribute while taking the place of workers who otherwise would be paying into the system.

Of particular concern are people who retire early, only to take another government job and draw pension annuities for many more years than they otherwise would.

State governments already have a combined $690 billion in unfunded pension liabilities, meaning they do not have enough money coming in to meet their future obligations.

“I don’t see any private entity that would allow this to happen, and I don’t see why government should allow it to happen,” said Kenneth Sheets, a state representative in Texas who tried unsuccessfully to end the practice in his state earlier this year.

Some states have dealt with the issue by imposing lengthy waiting periods on retired public employees seeking to return to their positions, in hopes the jobs will get filled before retirees get a chance to re-occupy them.

Others have placed limits on how much of their pensions retired employees can receive if they come back to work.

No single agency collects data on government retirees who also are receiving public paychecks, and many states do not provide the information publicly.

To get a snapshot of how widespread the practice is, the AP reviewed a sampling of states of varying sizes, including several in which double-dipping has generated a public backlash.

Available data showed nearly 71,000 double-dippers in California, New York, Texas, Florida, Michigan, Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Arkansas.

In Illinois and Ohio, populous states with a strong union presence, there appears to be no reliable way to determine double-dipping figures for government retirees.

Aside from data not being available everywhere, the methods used by states to assess the practice vary widely, making comparisons difficult.

Congress’ ‘unprecedented’ dysfunction long in the making

By Charles Babington Associated Press

WASHINGTON — How did it get this bad on Capitol Hill?

Why does Congress barely function today?

The legislative branch of the world’s most powerful nation is now widely scorned as it lurches from one nearcatastrophe to the next, even on supposedly routine matters such as setting an annual budget and keeping government offices open.

Congress is accustomed to fierce debate, of course.

But veteran lawmakers and scholars use words such as “unprecedented” to describe the current level of dysfunction and paralysis. The latest Gallup poll found a recordhigh lack of faith in Congress.

There’s no single culprit, it seems. Rather, long-accumulating trends have reached a critical mass, in the way a light snowfall can trigger an avalanche because so many earlier snows have piled atop each other.

At the core of this gridlock is a steadily growing partisanship. Couple that with a

rising distaste for compromise by avid voters. Unswerving conservatives and liberals dominate the two parties’ nominating processes, electing lawmakers who pledge never to stray from their ideologies.

Instead of a two-party system, American government has become a battle between warring tribes, says Mickey Edwards, a former Republican congressman from Oklahoma who has taught at several universities. When House and Senate leaders set out their goals and strategies, he said in an interview, “it comes down to the party first,” with the public’s welfare lagging behind.

The parties have driven all but a few centrists from their ranks. House districts are ever more sharply liberal or conservative because both parties collude in gerrymandering to protect incumbents and because mobile Americans like to live among likeminded people.

For many Republicans, the biggest threat to re-election is from their party’s right flank.

For Democrats, the danger is

“

The problem in a nutshell is that most members are more worried about their primary election than the general election.”

— Rep. Tom Davis, R-Va. being insufficiently liberal.

“The problem in a nutshell is that most members are more worried about their primary election than the general election,” said former Rep. Tom Davis, R-Va., now a campaign strategist. “They ask themselves, ‘Why should I go out and be the next Bob Bennett or Mike Castle?’ So they become very averse to compromise.”

Bennett, a three-term Utah senator, and Castle, a former Delaware congressman, were veteran GOP lawmakers who unexpectedly lost Senate nominations last year to tea party activists who had denounced them for occasionally working with Democrats.

Some Washington insiders thought the downgrade of

the nation’s credit-worthiness, which followed last summer’s bitter battle over the government’s borrowing limit, might shock congressional leaders into ending their brinksmanship. But just days ago, a relatively minor disagreement over disaster aid money brought new threats of a government shutdown. Also, many lawmakers are deeply pessimistic that a special bipartisan committee can develop a viable plan this fall for sharply reducing the deficit.

Interviews with current and former lawmakers, congressional scholars and others point to several events that have tangled up Congress that lawmakers barely can keep the government’s lights on, let alone tackle big problems such as illegal immigration and soaring health costs. They include: ! Political realignment.

Years ago, Southern conservative Democrats often worked with GOP lawmakers, and “Rockefeller Republicans” joined forces with moderate and liberal Democrats. Now, except for black enclaves, the South is over-

whelmingly Republican. Liberal Republicans hardly exist, and even “moderate” Republicans face intense criticism from tea partyers and others. !"The 1994 Republican revolution. The GOP ended four decades of House minority status when Newt Gingrich of Georgia led an insurgency that would change Congress’ way of doing business.

“He greatly increased the party-versus-party polarization,” Edwards said. Republicans saw their mission as “less to be a lawmaker than to be a champion of the Republican cause, constantly at war, defeating Democrats.” !" Money’s role in polarization. New laws and tactics have steered millions of campaign dollars to interest groups on the far left and far right, and they spend it to defeat candidates they oppose.

“Most of the money is now not with the parties,” said Davis, who once headed the GOP House campaign effort. “There’s no centering force in politics,” he said.

“The money has moved to the extremes. Everything has moved to the extremes.”

Anti-terrorism success may not help Obama in 2012 GOP candidates praise president

By Julie Pace Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The killing of an American-born cleric in Yemen underscores a reelection reality for President Barack Obama: He may have a string of counterterrorism successes and high marks from the public on foreign policy, but neither is likely to help him hold the White House.

For the Obama administration, it’s a frustrating bottom line.

When the first-term senator won the presidency, questions lingered about his readiness to handle national security matters. Yet Obama has received wide praise for operations that have killed terrorist leaders, most notably Osama bin Laden in May, and Anwar alAwlaki on Friday.

Al-Awlaki, an American citizen targeted in a U.S. drone attack, was deemed by the administration as having a Obama “significant operational role” in terrorist plots. They included two nearly catastrophic attacks on U.S.-bound planes, an airliner on Christmas 2009 and cargo planes last year.

Obama also can claim credit for aiding Libyan rebels in ousting Moammar Gadhafi, for supporting other democratic uprisings in the Arab world, for drawing down the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and for negotiating a new nuclear arms reduction treaty with Russia.

But barring unforeseen events, the nation’s stub-

bornly high unemployment rate and turmoil in the financial markets mean people are far more likely to vote next November with the economy foremost in their minds, not the president’s record on foreign policy and terrorism.

That’s bad news for the administration because the public gives Obama far higher approval ratings on terrorism than on his handling of the economy.

In fact, Obama’s approval rating on terrorism was higher than on any other issue, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll conducted in late August. It showed that 60 percent of those surveyed approved of his handling of terrorism. Just 36 percent approved of his handling of the economy, an all-time low for Obama.

Obama’s overall approval rating also fell to an all-time low in the poll, 46 percent.

The re-election picture

gets even gloomier given that 92 percent of those questioned said the economy was an extremely or very important issue. By comparison, 73 percent put the same emphasis on terrorism, but even they’re divided over whether Obama should be re-elected.

It’s also unclear whether the killing of al-Awlaki will bring Obama any new political support. The fiery American-born cleric had a hand in several high-profile terror attempts on the U.S., but his name is hardly as familiar to most Americans as bin Laden.

Obama’s orders for U.S. special forces to kill bin Laden during a raid on his Pakistani compound did give the president’s approval rating a bump. But it proved fleeting, further evidence of the secondary role of terrorism for voters.

“It’s not 2004,” said Rick Nelson, a senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and

International Studies. “This isn’t the primary issue facing the United States. The primary issue is the economy and jobs. That issue is going to overshadow anything we do overseas.”

The joint CIA-U.S. military airstrike that targeted al-Awlaki and killed a second American citizen wasn’t without controversy.

The attack apparently was the first time a U.S. citizen was tracked and executed based on secret intelligence and the president’s say-so, raising questions about the reach of presidents’ powers.

Texas Rep. Ron Paul, a GOP presidential contender, called it an “assassination”

and said Americans should not casually accept such violence against U.S. citizens, even those with strong ties to terrorism But most other top Republicans running for Obama’s job saw little downside in praising the president for his role.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry congratulated Obama, along with the military and intelligence agencies, for “aggressive anti-terror policies.”

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney commended the president for his efforts to keep Americans safe and said al-Awlaki’s death was a “major victory” in the terrorism fight.

Health care looms over Supreme Court term

By Mark Sherman Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The nine justices of the Supreme Court, who serve without seeking election, soon will have to decide whether to insert themselves into the center of the presidential campaign next year.

The high court begins its new term Monday, and President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul, which affects almost everyone in the country, is squarely in its sights.

The Obama administration’s request last week that the justices resolve whether the health care law is constitutional makes it more likely than not that they will deliver their verdict by June 2012, just as Obama and his Republican opponent charge toward the fall campaign.

Already, GOP presidential contenders use virtually every debate and speech to assail Obama’s major domestic accomplishment, which aims

to extend health insurance to more than 30 million people now without coverage.

If as now expected the justices agree to review the law’s constitutionality, those deliberations would certainly define the court’s coming term. Their decision could rank as the court’s most significant since the December 2000 ruling that effectively sealed George W. Bush’s election as president.

Health care is only one of several issues that the court could hear that would make for a “fantastic Supreme Court term,” said former acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal, now in private practice at the Hogan Lovells law firm.

Other high-profile cases on the horizon concern immigration and affirmative action, hot-button issues at any time and only more so in an election year.

Less likely, though still with a chance to make it to the court this year are cases involving gay marriage and the

landmark Voting Rights Act that some Southern states argue has outlived its usefulness.

Decisions about whether to even to consider health care, affirmative action and immigration are a month off or more.

In the meantime, the justices will take up a First Amendment case looking at the regulation of television broadcasts as well as a couple of appeals involving the Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable searches and seizures. One of those cases is a digital age dispute over the government’s power to track a suspect’s movement using a GPS device, without first getting a judge’s approval.

Among the cases involving criminal defendants is one from an inmate awaiting execution in Alabama who missed a deadline to appeal his death sentence because the big-firm lawyers in New York who had been handling his case for free moved on to new jobs and letters from the

From Texas to Mississippi, it’s the attack of the hairy crazy ants

By Janet McConnaughey Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS — It sounds like a horror movie: Biting ants invade by the millions.

A camper’s metal walls bulge from the pressure of ants nesting behind them. A circle of poison stops them for only a day, and then a fresh horde shows up, bringing babies.

Stand in the yard, and in seconds ants cover your shoes.

It’s an extreme example of what can happen when the ants, which also can disable huge industrial plants, go unchecked. Controlling them can cost thousands of dollars.

But the story is real, told by someone who’s been studying ants for a decade.

“Months later, I could close my eyes and see them moving,” said Joe MacGown, who curates the ant, mosquito and scarab collections at the Mississippi State Entomological Museum at Mississippi State University.

He’s been back to check on the hairy crazy ants. They’re still around. The occupant isn’t.

The flea-sized critters are called crazy because each forager scrambles randomly at a speed that your average picnic ant, marching one by one, reaches only in video fast-forward. They’re called hairy because of fuzz that, to the naked eye, makes their abdomens look less glossy than those of their slower, bigger cousins.

And they’re on the move in Florida, Texas, Mississippi and Louisiana. In Texas, they’ve invaded homes and industrial complexes, urban areas and rural areas. They travel in cargo containers, hay bales, potted plants, motorcycles and moving vans.

They overwhelm beehives — one Texas beekeeper was losing 100 a year in 2009.

They short out industrial equipment.

AP File Photo/Mississippi State Entomological Museum, Joe MacGown

A QUEEN NYLANDERIA PUBENS (ANT) SPECIMEN is seen Nov. 6, 2009, in Starkville, Miss. Hairy crazy ants are on the move in Florida, Texas, Mississippi and Louisiana.

If one gets electrocuted, its death releases a chemical cue to attack a threat to the colony, said Roger Gold, an entomology professor at Texas A&M. “The other ants rush in.

Before long, you have a ball of ants,” he said.

A computer system controlling pipeline valves shorted out twice in about 35 days, but monthly treatments there now keep the bugs at bay, said exterminator Tom Rasberry, who found the first Texas specimens of the species in the Houston area in 2002.

“We’re kind of going for overkill on that particular site because so much is at stake,” he said. “If that shuts down, they could literally shut down an entire chemical plant that costs millions of dollars.”

And, compared with other ants, these need overkill. For instance, Gold said, if 100,000 are killed by pesticides, millions more will follow.

“I did a test site with a product early on and applied the product to a half-acre ...

In 30 days I had two inches of dead ants covering the

entire half-acre,” Rasberry said. “It looked like the top of the dead ants was just total movement from all the live ants on top of the dead ants.”

But the Mississippi story is an exception, Rasberry said.

Control is expensive, ranging from $275 to thousands of dollars a year for the 1,000 homes he’s treated in the past month. Still, he’s never seen the ants force someone out of their home, he said.

The ants don’t dig out anthills and prefer to nest in sheltered, moist spots. In MacGown’s extreme example in Waveland, Miss., the house was out in woods with many fallen trees and piles of debris. They will eat just about anything — plant or animal.

The ants are probably native to South America, MacGown said. But they were recorded in the Caribbean by the late 19th century, said Jeff Keularts, an extension associate professor at the University of the Virgin Islands.

That’s how they got the nickname “Caribbean crazy ants.”

They’ve also become known as Rasberry crazy ants, after the exterminator.

court clerk sat in the firm’s mailroom before being returned to sender.

The case of Cory Maples, convicted 15 years ago in the shooting deaths of two men, presents the question: “How much poor representation can one criminal defendant receive” before it violates the Constitution? said University of Maryland law professor Sherrilyn Ifill.

Just over a third of the 48 cases the court has so far agreed to hear are of interest to the business sector, according to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. But that list includes few big-ticket cases, unlike last term’s victories for business interests in major cases seeking to limit consumer and employee access to the courts. Foremost among those was the decision to throw out a classaction lawsuit on behalf of up to 1.6 million female WalMart employees.

YEMEN

Al-Qaida threat remains after drone strike

By Ahmed Al-Haj Associated Press

SANAA, YEMEN — Al-Qaida’s branch remains a powerful threat in this deeply unstable nation, even after a U.S. drone strike that eliminated three of its key figures. Its military leadership remains intact and is only growing stronger amid months of political turmoil tearing Yemen apart.

As the president struggles to keep power, Islamic militants have taken advantage of the government’s crumbling control to take over several cities in the south, raising the danger they can establish a permanent stronghold. On Saturday, militants holding Zinjibar, a southern provincial capital, battled government forces in fighting that killed at least 28 soldiers and militants.

Yemen is considered a crucial battleground with the terror network. The impoverished nation on the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula is on the doorstep of Saudi Arabia and the oil-producing nations of the Gulf and lies on strategic sea routes leading to the Suez Canal. But order has crumbled as President Ali Abdullah Saleh faces more than seven months of protests demanding an end to his 33-year authoritarian rule, and his loyalists have battled with military units and tribal fighters who sided with the opposition.

Ironically, the turmoil appears in one way to have been

a boost to U.S. efforts to fight al-Qaida in Yemen, considered the terror network’s most active and dangerous branch.

Saleh seems to have sought to cling to power by making himself more valuable to Washington, which has pressed him to retire and allow a stable transition. In recent months, Saleh — long criticized as unreliable in his fight against al-Qaida — has given U.S. counterterrorism units a far freer hand to act in his country, U.S. and Yemeni officials say.

Top U.S. counterterrorism adviser John Brennan has said the Yemenis have been more willing to share information about the location of al-Qaida targets. Yemeni security officials say the U.S. was conducting multiple airstrikes a day in the south since May and that U.S. officials were finally allowed to interrogate al-Qaida suspects, something Saleh had long resisted. The officials spokes on condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence issues.

The cooperation was key to hunting down Anwar alAwlaki, the American-Yemeni cleric who was killed in Friday’s strike by U.S. drones in a desert stretch of central Yemen. Killed with him was Samir Khan, a PakistaniAmerican who was a propagandist for the group, producing its English-language Web magazine, Inspire.

Also believed to have died in the blast is the top bombmaker for al-Qaida in Ye-

men — Ibrahim al-Asiri. The 29-year-old Saudi designed the explosives used in the group’s most notorious plots, including the Christmas 2009 failed attempt to blow up a jetliner headed to Detroit and an intercepted pair of explosives-laden printers Al-Asiri that were m a i l e d from Yemen to the United States in 2010.

Late Friday, two U.S. officials said intelligence indicated al-Asiri was among those killed in the strike. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because al-Asiri’s death has not officially been confirmed.

Their deaths would strike a heavy blow to the international reach of al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, as the group is called, since al-Awlaki was a valuable recruiter of Muslims abroad to carry out attacks and al-Asiri was an experienced constructor of explosives for such attacks.

But the strike “doesn’t change the dangerous dynamic. The big picture is that the country is falling apart,” said Bruce Riedel, a Brookings senior fellow and former CIA officer. “Saleh is pushing it into civil war by refusing to step down ... creating

General sees end to Libya mission U.S. commander says NATO involvement may wrap up soon

By Lolita C. Baldor Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The military mission in Libya is largely complete and NATO’s involvement could begin to wrap up as soon as this coming week after allied leaders meet in Brussels, according to the top U.S. commander for Africa.

Army Gen. Carter Ham, head of U.S. Africa Command, told The Associated Press that American military leaders are expected to give NATO ministers their assessment of the situation during meetings late in the week.

NATO could decide to end the mission even though ousted leader Moammar Gadhafi is still at large and his forces are still entrenched in strongholds such as Sirte and Bani Walid.

NATO’s decision-making body, the North Atlantic Council, agreed on Sept. 21 to extend the mission over the oil-rich North African nation for another 90 days, but officials have said the decision would be reviewed periodically.

Ham said that the National Transitional Council and its forces should be in “reasonable control” of population centers before the end of the NATO mission, dubbed Unified Protector. He said they are close to that now.

When NATO makes its decision, Ham said he believes there would be a seamless transition of control over the air and maritime operations to U.S. Africa Command. At least initially, some of the military surveillance coverage would remain in place.

“We don’t want to go from what’s there now to zero

AP File Photo

U.S. ARMY GEN. CARTER HAM, the top U.S. Commander for Africa, arrives for a press conference March 24 at the Sigonella airbase in Sicily, Italy. Ham told The Associated Press the military mission in Libya is largely complete and NATO’s involvement could begin to wrap up as soon as next week, when allied leaders meet in Brussels. He said U.S. intelligence and surveillance assets, such as drones, will likely stay in the region for some time once the NATO mission ends. overnight,” Ham said. “There will be some missions that will need to be sustained for some period of time, if for no other reason than to offer assurances to the interim government for things like border security, until such time that they are ready to do all that themselves.”

U.S. intelligence and surveillance assets, such as drones, will likely stay in the region also to keep watch over weapons caches, to prevent the proliferation of weapons from Libya into neighboring countries.

But Ham said air strikes would likely end, unless specifically requested by the Libyan transitional government.

NATO took over command of the mission in March, after it was initially led by the U.S. in the early days of the bomb-

ing campaign. The mission was designed to enforce a U.N. resolution allowing the imposition of a no-fly zone and military action to protect the citizens.

The aggressive bombing runs that battered Gadhafi forces, weapons, air control, and other key targets, gave the revolutionary forces the time and breathing room to organize and begin to push into Gadhafi strongholds. A key turning point came about a month ago when the fighters were able to seize Tripoli, effectively ending Gadhafi’s rule.

The National Transitional Council has taken over the leadership of the nation and is promising to set up its new interim government, even as it continues to fight forces still loyal to the fugitive leader.

Ham said NATO need not wait until Gadhafi is found and forced out of the country before ending the Libyan mission.

“The fact that he is still at large some place is really more a matter for the Libyans than it is for anybody else,” said Ham, adding that President Barack Obama and other leaders made it clear that the object of the mission was about protecting the people, not killing Gadhafi.

The goal now, said Ham, is for the U.S. to eventually establish a normal, militaryto-military relationship with Libya, including embassy staff and discussions about what security assistance the Libyans might want from America.

He said he doesn’t see a major U.S. role in training or other military assistance because other Arab nations are better suited for that.

He added that the U.S. may be able to help re-establish Libya’s Coast Guard and maritime domain.

Any U.S. military footprint in the country would remain small — probably less than two dozen troops at the embassy to work as staff and perform security.

Crisis-weary Icelanders pelt lawmakers with eggs REYKJAVIK, ICELAND — Icelanders angry about the price debt-burdened citizens are paying for their country’s economic crisis pelted lawmakers with eggs Saturday during a protest at the opening of the new parliamentary session. One legislator was slightly injured.

The protesters were demanding the government do more to help households crippled by debt since the tiny country’s banks collapsed in

2008, bringing the economy to a standstill.

More than 1,000 people gathered outside Iceland’s parliament, the Althingi, in central Reykjavik, with some banging pots and pans and hurling food and fireworks at the building.

As lawmakers, dignitaries and the country’s president walked to the traditional start-of-term Mass at a cathedral next door, they were hit with yogurt and eggs.

Lawmaker Arni Thor Sigurdsson of the Left Green Movement fell to the ground after being hit on the head by an egg and was helped into the cathedral by colleagues.

Police formed a cordon to protect the politicians as they emerged from the church service, but more eggs rained down as they walked back to the parliament building. The protest broke up soon afterward and no arrests were made.

the chaos that al-Qaida will thrive in.”

The Obama administration issued a travel alert on Saturday warning that al-Awlaki’s killing has raised the risk of anti-American violence worldwide.

Still at large are crucial figures in the group, including its leader Nasser al-Wahishi, a Yemeni who once served as Osama bin Laden’s personal aide in Afghanistan. He fled to Iran after the U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, and Tehran handed him over to Yemen, where he was jailed.

But in 2006, he broke out of a Sanaa prison along with nearly two dozen other al-Qaida militants in an escape U.S. officials have said had help from supporters within the regime.

He then founded al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, incorporating remnants of the Saudi branch of the terror network that had been crushed by a crackdown in the kingdom in the mid2000s, and launched a campaign to overthrow Saleh.

Alongside him is Qassim al-Raimi, the group’s military commander who Yemeni officials believe masterminded the Christmas airliner and the package bomb plots, and deputy leader Saeed al-Shihri, a Saudi who fought in Afghanistan and spent six years in the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, before being released and going through Saudi Arabia’s famous “rehabilitation” institutes.

Academic standing Kansas University needs to be as concerned about its academic reputation as it is about its athletic win-loss record.

thletics aren’t the only thing that matters when it comes to conference realignments — not to mention the overall reputation of a university.

As the recent conference realignment drama unfolded, Kansas University sports fans heard discussions about topics that don’t come up often around the grills and coolers of a football tailgate — including KU’s membership in the elite Association of American Universities and the amount of money the school receives from the federal government for its research activity.

The Big 12 Conference appears to be reasonably stable for the moment, but if KU needs to market itself to other conferences someday, AAU membership should be one of its major selling points. Only the University of Texas, the University of Missouri and Iowa State University can claim that distinction among current Big 12 schools. And, according to media reports, conferences such as the Big 10 Conference and the Pacific 12 Conference generally look favorably on institutions with high academic standing as they seek to expand.

Fans who did a little research on where KU might land if the Big 12 imploded could have quickly discovered that while KU’s continued membership in the AAU is an important factor, it can’t be taken for granted.

That’s not news to KU leaders, who, rightfully, started pointing out as early as last fall that KU doesn’t compare well with its fellow AAU schools and began devising plans to rectify the issue. The University of Nebraska was voted out of the AAU earlier this year, and Syracuse University left voluntarily rather than face a similar vote.

“I do not intend for KU to face a similar challenge,” KU Chancellor Bernadette GrayLittle wrote to faculty and staff in May, after the two universities were removed.

She knows that losing AAU membership would mean far more than just weaker basketball and football opponents and lost athletic revenue. AAU membership, in addition to being a major point of pride for the university, can make a difference in the quality of people who apply for top leadership and faculty positions.

It’s important that KU’s efforts to raise its scholarly profile are successful and are taken seriously by KU leaders and faculty — both on Mount Oread and at KU Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan. — as well as Kansas legislators and the Kansas Board of Regents. If KU loses its AAU membership, winding up in a mid-major athletic conference might be the least of its worries.

U.S. pushes for Pakistan negotiations WASHINGTON — Behind the recent verbal confrontation between U.S. and Pakistani officials about the Haqqani network lies a delicate political-military effort to split the Haqqanis as part of an end-game strategy for the war in Afghanistan.

Adm. Mike Mullen, the departing chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, rebuked the Pakistani spy service, the Inter-Services Intelligence directorate, for using the Haqqani network as its “veritable arm” in Afghanistan. But U.S. officials know the ISI also facilitated a secret meeting during the last several months between the U.S. and a representative of the Haqqani clan. This is the double game that’s always operating in U.S.Pakistani relations.

Some U.S. officials believe that the recent wave of attacks by the Haqqanis on U.S. targets in Afghanistan may, in fact, reflect the determination of hard-line members of the clan to derail any move toward negotiation. The U.S. wants the Pakistani military’s help in isolating and destroying these “unreconcilable” elements of the network.

The sparring with Pakistan illustrates the wider dilemma of the Afghan War. How does the U.S. bring pressure on the Haqqanis and other Taliban factions, even as it withdraws troops with a 2014 deadline for completing its mission? As Husain Haqqani, Pakistan’s ambassador to the U.S., has said: “The

The message to the Haqqanis is that they can best protect political power in their ancestral homeland in Paktika, Paktia and Khost provinces by coming to the table now.”

more the U.S. says it wants to leave Afghanistan, the harder it will be to leave.”

What angered Mullen and other U.S. officials was Pakistan’s failure to act on intelligence reports about planned Haqqani attacks. A time line helps disentangle the threads of the dispute: !"On Sept. 8, Gen. John Allen, the NATO commander in Afghanistan, is said to have warned Gen. Ashfaq Kayani, the Pakistani army chief, that two truck bombs had been assembled in Miran Shah, the Haqqanis’ base in North Waziristan, and were headed for Afghanistan. Kayani is said to have pledged he would take action.

!" On Sept. 10, one of those truck bombs struck a NATO base in Wardak, just east of Kabul, wounding 77 U.S. soldiers. That was the real trigger for Mullen’s anger: Some senior officials concede that Pakistan may not have had enough time, or precise “actionable” intelligence, to stop the bomb-laden truck. !" On Sept. 13, insurgents from the Haqqani network attacked the U.S. embassy compound in Kabul.

Though Mullen mentioned this attack in his denunciation of ISIHaqqani links, U.S. officials don’t see any evidence of a Pakistani role in planning or executing the operation, a message the CIA privately communicated to Islamabad. But in the days after the bombing, U.S. officials presented Pakistan with a series of “what ifs,” to convey the danger of the situation: What if the 77 soldiers at Wardak had been killed? What if the U.S. ambassador in Kabul had died? What then? !" On Sept. 18, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton met with the Pakistani foreign minister and delivered the first of a series of U.S. rebukes, asking how Pakistan could promote the Haqqanis as a prospective negotiating partner and yet sit by idly while they attacked Americans. On Sept. 22, Mullen delivered his blunt testimony. On Sept. 25 and 26, two longtime congressional supporters of Pakistan, Sens.

Lindsey Graham and Mark Kirk, warned of a halt in military aid.

But military liaison contin-

ues, with Gen. James Mattis, the Centcom commander, visiting Islamabad last weekend and warning that Pakistan had to choose sides.

The message seems to have gotten through to Pakistani military leaders, who reportedly concluded at a secret commanders’ conference on Sept. 26 that they don’t want a confrontation with the U.S. But surely, this is a sick relationship, when the partners have to go to the brink of open confrontation to get the other side to listen. If they were a married couple, you would send them to a counselor, or, failing that, a divorce lawyer.

With all the noise about the Haqqanis, it’s important to remember that the real issue here is the larger war in Afghanistan. President Obama’s goal remains a political settlement with “reconcilable” elements of the Taliban, and secret contacts have been continuing around the world. The message to the Haqqanis is that they can best protect political power in their ancestral homeland in Paktika, Paktia and Khost provinces by coming to the table now.

But does the Taliban — or the Pakistani government, for that matter — take the U.S. strategy seriously? How can the U.S. gain enough leverage to tip the process toward negotiation? That’s what this war of words was really about.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Oct. 2, 1911: “There must be no more auto speeding in Lawrence, according to the YEARS orders that Marshal Carter gave his AGO officers this morning. Anyone who IN 1911 is seen speeding on the streets of Lawrence may be taken up by a blue coat and obliged to make his peace with the police judge. There are several auto owners and drivers in Lawrence who have grown careless in observing the city’s ordinance regarding the speeding of automobiles, and consequently many serious accidents have only been narrowly avoided. The police department is going to make a determined effort to stop this and it is quite probable that there will be several arrests in the near future. The city ordinance fixes the speed that may be attained on Massachusetts Street to Quincy [currently 11th Street] at 10 miles per hour and off this street at 15 miles.”

Bake sale tests free speech rights I have no beef with the student Republicans.

Oh, I disagree with them about affirmative action, and probably a dozen other things as well. But I am not troubled — amused, but not troubled — by the way they’ve expressed their view. Unfortunately, others have been less sanguine.

The story goes as follows: the GOP student group at the University of California at Berkeley wanted to illustrate its opposition to pending legislation that would allow state universities to consider race, gender, ethnicity and national origin as factors in admission. So it sponsored an “Increase Diversity Bake Sale,” in which the prices varied according to race. White men were asked to pay $2 for what Asian men could get for $1.50, Latino men for $1, African-American men for 75 cents and Native American men for a quarter. All women received a 25-cent discount off those prices.

If I were going to use baked goods as a metaphor for affirmative action, my price scale would go like this: Black and Native American men would pay $10, Asian and Latino men $7 for brownies white men were able to buy for a buck, and the blacks, the Native Americans, the Asians and the Latinos would have to walk a gauntlet of gunfire, physical assault, name calling and legal roadblocks in order to reach the counter. Women would not be allowed to buy any brownies, but

would be required to remain in the kitchen baking them, preferably while barefoot and pregnant.

After 350 years, the black, Latino, Asian and Native American men would get a $5 discount off the original prices (do the math) but they’d have to listen to white men carp about the gross unfairness of it all. Women would also get a discount, but would have to sweep up the bakery after it closed.

That said, I’m troubled at the response the GOP students have faced. There has been outrage, which is fair, but they say they’ve also been harassed and threatened online, which is not.

One student protesting the sale told a reporter it was hurtful, “attacking underrepresented communities by reducing their communities to a cheaply priced good.”

But even granting the vulner-

ability felt by such students, would we do them any favors, do we prepare them for the world, by treating them as delicate flowers who must be shielded from all that is hurtful? We might do better teaching them to cope with the hurtful things that will inevitably come.

The contretemps sparked a resolution from the student senate reportedly and ominously noting the power of a separate student Judiciary Council to defund any group that discriminates and condemning “the use of discrimination whether it is in satire or in seriousness by any student group.”

The resolution thus combined politically correct censorship, and shortsighted overreach, laying out a rubric which, writ large, would outlaw the likes of Chris Rock, Mark Twain, Richard Pryor, Norman Lear, Stephen Colbert, and other satirists who have used discrimination to make trenchant political points.

Thankfully, the “racist bake sale” and a counter protest went on last week as planned. There was no violence, just vigorous debate and a visceral reminder of what a messy, dangerous and powerful tool the founders entrusted to us when they said we had the right to speak our minds.

Let freedom ring.

To the editor: Recently there were protests against the XL pipeline at the Kansas Statehouse in Topeka. There were environmentalists and people seeking jobs in the petroleum industry on either side.

Ironically, I was in Topeka at a doctor’s office when I read a National Geographic article on tar sands oil removal in 2009. In the opening picture was an area completely devoid of topsoil, trees, grass or anything else.

The area was along the Athabasca River in Alberta on the lands of Chipewyan and Cree First Nations. Whole groups of people were moved from areas they’d resided on for millennia. This pipeline cuts through the lands of the three affiliated tribes of North Dakota and lots of Lakota territory in South Dakota and the counties in Kansas where some of the federally recognized tribes live.

Much of the area above Kansas has water supplied from the Ogallala Aquifer. If this water table is polluted by an oil spill, the results would be dire. Not to mention that this aquifer is already overutilized by agriculture in denial in dry areas and coal plants needing slurry water. Do people need to go screaming in denial over the tipping point toward disaster to learn a lesson? Do the unlistening people have to take the thinking people against their will to this point? Job creation should be in sustainable circumstances. Destroying large areas of virgin country to extract oil that pollutes more than other oils makes no sense. Can people ever listen before the consequences occur?

Shelter animals receive blessing TOPEKA — An Episcopalian minister has made his annual pilgrimage to a Topeka animal shelter to bless the homeless dogs and cats.

Friday marked the eighth year that the Rev. Don Davidson, of St. David’s Episcopal Church, has come to the Helping Hands Humane Society to perform the annual Blessing of the Animals. The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that the prayer is in honor of St. Francis of Assisi, who was known for his love of God’s creatures. His feast day is Tuesday.

During this year’s visit, Davidson spoke to each of the approximately 300 animals at the shelter.

Shelter executive director Bill Acree says the blessing makes the shelter’s staff feel great because Davidson prays for each animal’s “mom and dad” to find it.

Mutemath What started out as a long-distance collaboration between Paul Meany from New Orleans and Darren King from Springfield, Mo., became Mutemath, the Grammy-nominated alternative rock group. They’re coming to the Bottleneck, 737 N.H., on the Odd Soul Introduction Tour at 7 p.m. in support of their album of the same name. Mutemath benefits from the best parts of alternative music from the last 20 years, pulling some far-flung influences such as Radiohead and Air into a cohesive whole. If the new single “Blood Pressure” is any indication, the group is exploring some more danceable music with a rock ‘n’ roll edge. The end result is economic pop music that aims to please and more often than not, does. Tickets are $21 and are all ages.

Feeling blue TEXAS TECH 45, KANSAS 34

KU lets big lead disappear

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Nick Krug/Journal-World Photo

FRESHMAN RECEIVER JACOREY SHEPHERD (89) TRIES TO COMFORT senior linebacker Steven Johnson as the team leaves the field following Kansas’ 45-34 loss to Texas Tech on Saturday at Memorial Stadium.

You’ve heard coaches talk about total team victories?

Saturday, Kansas University’s football team suffered a total team loss.

Despite opening their 4534 loss to Texas Tech on a gorgeous day at Memorial Stadium with a 20-0 lead, the Jayhawks, once again, saw their defense struggle. This time, the offense matched it.

In front of a crowd of 39,621 fans, Kansas coughed up four turnovers and gave up 530 yards of total offense while falling to 2-2 overall, 0-1 in the Big 12. Texas Tech improved to 4-0, 1-0.

“Turnovers. That’s the big deciding factor,” KU coach Turner Gill said. “You can’t turn the ball over three or four times against a good football team and win. You just can’t do it.”

Had they not, the Jayhawks might have cruised in this one. After winning the coin toss and electing to receive the opening kickoff for the fourth straight game, the Jayhawks marched down the field in four plays and 1:50 to take a 7-0 lead. Junior returner D.J. Beshears kick-started things with a 56-yard runback on the opening kickoff, and a 25-yard pass from quarterback Jordan Webb to freshman tailback Darrian Miller paved the way for James Sims’ 11-yard touchdown run.

After latest loss, it’s getting harder to ‘believe’ From the outside, it’s growing more difficult to believe in the one-word motto preferred by Kansas University football coach Turner Gill: Believe.

The numbers on the scoreboard when time expired Saturday afternoon in Memorial Stadium — Texas Tech 45, Kansas 34 — didn’t look so ugly.

The problem: No matter what the

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

numbers said at any point, it was difficult to believe Kansas was going to win the football game.

If you can’t talk yourself into believing Kansas will win when it leads by three touchdowns (and two extra points) in the first quarter, when can you believe?

A few technological advances from now, when the click of a button enables us to read minds,

we’ll easily determine whether a fan base truly believes in its team. Too bad that technology wasn’t there yet because it would have been interesting to read the minds of those wearing blue Saturday when quarterback Jordan Webb and a wide array of talented young running backs gave Kansas a 20-0 lead with 3:39 left in the first quarter.

At that time, if you had to make a straight-up bet as to the game’s winner, which way would you have gone? I tried to talk myself into believing at that moment Kansas would win the game, but I couldn’t. The Red Raiders had too much firepower in the form of quarterback Seth Doege Please see KEEGAN, page 7B

Three ex-Jayhawks to be enshrined today ————

Former AD Frederick, coach Harp, hoops forward LaFrentz to be inducted into Kansas Sports Hall of Fame

By Gary Bedore

“

When Raef would post down on the block and do one of those fadeaway jumpers, it was as close to a guaranFormer Kansas University teed basket as there is in basketball. It was one of the athletic director Bob Frederick, basketball coach Dick Harp most unstoppable moves we’ve seen at Kansas.” gbedore@ljworld.com

and All-America forward Raef LaFrentz today will be inducted into the Kansas Sports Hall of Fame in Wichita.

LaFrentz, a 6-foot-11, 245-pounder from Monona, Iowa, who played at KU from 1994-98, was a two-time consensus first team All-American, Big 12 Player of the Year and threetime all-conference player. He’s KU’s No. 3 scorer and No. 2 rebounder of all-time.

“To be considered for the Kansas Sports Hall of Fame is a great honor,” LaFrentz said. “There

— Ex-Jayhawk Ryan Robertson, on former teammate Raef LaFrentz is a long list of athletes from all sports that achieved at very high levels, and to be added to it is very humbling. It always feels good to be recognized for the work done during competition.”

Lefty sharpshooter LaFrentz averaged 15.8 points off 55.5 percent shooting and grabbed 9.1 rebounds per contest while helping KU to a 123-17 record in his four-year career.

“I think Raef is the most prolific low-post scorer we’ve had at Kansas in the last 30 years,” said former KU guard Ryan Robertson, a teammate of LaFrentz at KU. “When Raef would post down on the block and do one of those fadeaway jumpers, it was as close to a guaranteed basket as there is in basketball. It was one of the most unstoppable moves we’ve seen at Kansas.

“What made Raef so tough,” Robertson added, “was not only his ability to score with his back to the basket, but that face-up jumper he developed as he got older and more mature. He was a very, very rare talent because of his height and skill. When you are an athletic 6-11 guy who can shoot it, you will end up being a lottery pick, and that’s what he was.”

LaFrentz was taken third overall by Denver in the 1998 NBA Draft.

He played 11 seasons with the Nuggets, Dallas Mavericks, Boston Celtics and Portland Trailblazers. He had career averages of 10.1 points and 6.1 rebounds per game.

“Raef was a great teammate,”

Robertson said. “He wanted the Frederick ball at crucial times. Everyone respected him for that. Whoever does the rankings ... he has to go down as one of the all-time great Kansas basketball players.”

LaFrentz, 35, who has been retired from the NBA for three years, lives in Iowa with wife, Joie, and sons Cael and Rex. “I spent many years traveling Harp playing basketball. Raising my sons takes up most of my time, and I wouldn’t want it any other way. We waited until my career was close to an end to start a family for that reason,” LaFrentz said.

NBA labor sides still far from deal

By Brian Mahoney Associated Press Basketball Writer

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; With a month until the NBA season, players and owners donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sound much closer to a labor deal than they did when the lockout began.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so far apart on money they decided to leave it alone Saturday and focused mainly on the salary cap.

They couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t solve that one, either. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say there was any progress. What happened was, they put some concepts up, we put some concepts up, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still miles apart,â&#x20AC;? union executive director Billy Hunter said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a huge bridge, gap, that I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be able to close it or not.â&#x20AC;?

The sides will meet again Monday â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the day training camps were to have begun â&#x20AC;&#x201D; though time is getting short to save the start of the regular season, scheduled for Nov. 1. Neither side sounds optimistic.

In a seven-hour bargaining session, their longest since the lockout began July 1, the sides talked about one of the two major issues that divides them. Owners want a hard cap, or at least want a number of changes to the current soft cap system, which the players prefer to keep largely intact.

The sides didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even attempt

to deal with the division of revenues, the other big obstacle to a labor agreement that would end the lockout.

Commissioner David Stern said he had nothing to announce in terms of cancellations. But the remainder of the preseason schedule is in jeopardy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; some games already have been canceled. Regular-season games could now be threatened, too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our desire would be to not cancel, and we had been hopeful that this weekend would be a broader marker, but for reasons which we understand, the players suggested that we resume on Monday, and we said â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;fine,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Stern said.

Stern did indicate some level

The sides will meet in small groups, then bring large groups back for another meeting Tuesday.

Hunter again said owners havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t moved off their proposal to trim the playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; guarantee of basketball-related income to 46 percent, down from the 57 percent they were guaranteed in the previous collective bargaining agreement.

Hunter said he assumed it would be possible to save the entire season if the sides agreed to a deal by the middle of next week.

COMMENTARY

SEC shows true colors in realignment

By Ron Morris McClatchy Newspapers

The Southeastern Conference blew it.

Yes, the SEC missed a chance to elevate itself to elite status in college athletics. It could have separated itself from the pack and become the NCAAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s model league.

Instead, by accepting Texas A&M as its 13th member this week, the SEC remains mired in the muck with the rest of the money-mongering, leather-headed, hypocritical NCAA members.

With the decision to accept Texas A&M, SEC presidents and athletics directors removed any doubt about the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission, and it has not one iota to do with the well-being of student-athletes. It has everything to do with money and what most benefits football, without consideration for other sports. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Texas A&M) is a great institution, academically, athletically, culturally, in every way and a real fit,â&#x20AC;? said Mike Slive, the SEC commissioner, on a national teleconference.

Please. Texas A&M might be a fine institution. It was No. 58 (tied with Florida for second among SEC schools) in the latest U.S. News and World Report ranking of top colleges. But chemistry labs and southwestern barbecue had nothing to do with Texas A&M joining the conference.

Not long after Slive announced Texas A&Mâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entry, he said the league would soon go back to the TV negotiating table.

By adding the expansive TV markets of Houston and Dallas, the SEC can up its asking price from ESPN and CBS to televise its athletics events.

Never mind that just two years ago the SEC signed a 15-year contract with ESPN that pays $2.25 billion and a 15-year deal with CBS that pays $825 million. Hey, forget the contracts, the landscape has changed, and the SEC needs more dough.

The league must generate more revenue to keep the annual payout for member schools at the current level or better. The SEC paid each school $17.3 million in 2010, and a reason for adding another member was to elevate the bottom line even further.

Those kinds of dollar figures are the central theme to any chatter about conference realignment. At least that is the way NCAA president Mark Emmert sees it.

Emmert was quoted in USA Today earlier this week, telling major-college athletic directors to step up and make decisions for the student-athletes, not the money.

Dick Vitale seldom steps outside the box in his role as a menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball TV commentator to tackle issues in college athletics. He seldom criticizes the college game, no matter the sport. Yet he quickly recognized the slime that has engulfed conference realignment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are guys who are representing our student-athletes?â&#x20AC;? Vitale told Sportsradiointerviews.com, speaking specifically about ACC athletics directors. He could as easily have been speaking of SEC athletics officials. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You guys hear it all the time about academics. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to be loyal. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to have integrity. We want kids doing it the right way. Oh really, take a look at our leaders.â&#x20AC;?

It is most disappointing that not one SEC president or athletic director â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including USCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Harris Pastides and Eric Hyman â&#x20AC;&#x201D; stood up to the overwhelming charge to expand the league.

Conference realignment is great as football is concerned. But that, apparently, is all the SEC cares about. Too bad.

The league could have distinguished itself from all the rest. It could have become the model conference, the one that did not have to follow the lead of others into the great abyss that is conference realignment.

A missed chance, for sure.

Stewart will need better luck for win at Dover DOVER, DEL. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Tony Stewart needs a tremendous rally at Dover to keep his perfect Chase season alive.

Stewartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No. 14 Chevrolet has not performed like the car that romped to victories in the first two races in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. He was horrible at practice, and that carried over into Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s qualifying, where he turned a lap of 156.760 mph and will start the third Chase race 27 spots behind polesitter Martin Truex Jr. Stewartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two wins have only given him a seven-point cushion over Kevin Harvick entering todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race. With four Chase drivers starting in the top six at the concrete mile, this could be the race where the standings get rattled.

Stewart had little explanation for his struggles, other than saying his car was tight.

History shows all is not lost for Smoke.

He started 27th in the second Dover race in 2000 and won. In the first Dover race in 2009, he finished second after starting 31st.

If any driver knows how to work his way through traffic, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Stewart.

He could run into Truex leading the way.

Truex returned to the site of his only career Cup win and turned a lap of 159.004 mph to win the pole at Dover International Speedway. He crashed the Chase party with his first pole of the season. He won his only career Cup race in 2007 at the Monster Mile.

Stewart â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love this place,â&#x20AC;? Truex said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel like I understand what it takes to get around this place.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just been fortunate enough to have good race cars here.â&#x20AC;?

Truex, of nearby Mayetta, N.J., has long considered Dover his home track. Truex, 18th in the points standings, has two of his six career poles at Dover.

Chase driver Kurt Busch was second.

Paul Menard was third. Chase drivers Carl Edwards, Kyle Busch and Jimmie Johnson took the next three spots.

Like Stewart, four-time Cup champion Jeff Gordon also struggled during qualifying and starts 34th.

Denny Hamlin, all but out of contention, starts 11th. Brad Keselowski was 15th, Matt Kenseth 18th, Ryan Newman 20th, Dale Earnhardt Jr. 21st, and Harvick starts 22nd.

Round 3 of the Chase promises to create some separation among the Chase contenders and the pretenders.

Gordon is in fifth place and a manageable 23 points behind Stewart. His poor start might not help him move up the standings.

Kurt Busch is 28 points out in ninth place.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s counting on his strong qualifying start to serve as a preview for whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ahead in the 400-mile race.

Stewart has taken up residence in Victory Lane this Chase, with wins at Chicagoland Speedway and New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s found it hard to keep it up at Dover. He was a miserable 41st in Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final practice session, topping out at 150.735 mph, and his team couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fix whatever ailed the No. 14 in time for qualifying. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see what happens tomorrow,â&#x20AC;? Stewart said.

Edwards wins Nationwide race DOVER, DEL. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Carl Edwards dominated again at Dover International Speedway, winning his seventh race of the season in the Nationwide Series.

Edwards celebrated Saturday with his traditional back flip, then jumped into the stands to celebrate with fans.

Edwards said before the race his Sprint Cup car was better than the No. 60 in the second-tier series. He could use another win to strengthen his push toward his first career Cup championship.

Brad Keselowski was second, Clint Bowyer third and Kasey Kahne fourth. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. was fifth.

Edwards is not eligible to win the Nationwide championship. He has top-two finishes in each of his last four races.

GOLF

Hoey builds on Dunhill lead ST. ANDREWS, SCOTLAND â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Michael Hoey moved closer toward giving Northern Ireland another big golf victory, taking a three-shot lead Saturday after three rounds of the Dunhill Links Championship.

Hoey built on the second-round lead he shared with Englandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tommy Fleetwood. He shot a 6-under 66 at Carnoustie that put him at 18-under 198 in the $5 million tournament.

Northern Irishmen Graeme McDowell and Rory McIlroy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; winners of the last two U.S. Opens â&#x20AC;&#x201D; were in pursuit. McDowell had a third straight 67 and is in second place at 15 under.

Louis Oosthuizen shot a 69 and is another stroke behind. McIlroy had a 66 and is among those at 13 under with top-ranked Luke Donald and Simon Dyson.

Watney, Na lead in Vegas LAS VEGAS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Nick Watney shot a 7-under 64 on Saturday for a share of the third-round lead with Kevin Na in the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open.

Watney, a two-time winner this year, birdied the final three holes and five of the last six at TPC Summlerin to match Na at 17 under.

Na followed his second-round 63 with a 66.

Robert Garrigus (63) and Kris Blanks (66) were a stroke back, and Tommy Gainey (64), Paul Goydos (66) and Tim Herron (67) followed at 15 under.

Rudy Gay had 38 points while Wade added 32 and James had 30. John Wall added 34 points.

The game was played at Winston-Salem State in front of a sold out crowd in the 3,200-seat arena.

Kansas volleyball falls, 3-1, to Baylor J-W Staff Reports

WACO, TEXAS — After jumping out to the program’s best start since 2002, Kansas University’s volleyball team lost its third straight Big 12 contest in a loss to Baylor (25-23, 23-25, 25-17, 25-22) on Saturday at the Ferrell Center.

The Jayhawks (11-4 overall, 0-3 Big 12) began the season 11-1 before losing to Texas, Iowa State and Baylor (12-6, 1-3). The 0-3 conference start hasn’t happened at KU since 1997.

For the first time this season, Kansas fell to an unranked opponent.

Not all was bad, though, for KU on Saturday.

Sophomore libero Brianne Riley set a personal best with 34 digs. Third-year sophomores Catherine Carmichael (10 kills) and Caroline Jarmoc (16 kills) set personal bests as well.

KU senior outside hitter Allison Mayfield recorded her fourth double-double of the season with 17 kills and 11 digs. Sophomore setter Kara Wehrs posted her fifth with 42 assists and 13 digs. Five Jayhawks tallied double-digit digs, a feat that hadn’t happened since Oct. 29, 2009, against Oklahoma.

The Jayhawks will play host to Nebraska-Omaha on Tuesday at Horejsi Center.

First serve is set for 6:30 p.m.

CHIEFS

Winless K.C., Vikings to tangle

By Dave Skretta Associated Press Sports Writer

KANSAS CITY, MO. — The story has been the same for the Vikings the past three weeks, just tweak the opponent a little bit and adjust the final score.

Minnesota builds impressive first-half leads, pounding the ball behind Adrian Peterson and looking every bit the part of a juggernaut.

Then the Vikings head into the locker room and all the momentum slips away. Any lead goes right along with it.

“You’re disappointed when you don’t finish games,” Vikings coach Leslie Frazier said this week.

“You’re judged by wins and losses, and we need to get some wins.”

So do the Chiefs.

Two of the five winless teams left in the NFL meet at Arrowhead Stadium today, both desperate for a victory.

The Vikings have come close, while Kansas City is only beginning to show signs of life after one of the most dismal starts in league history.

“I don’t know about mustwin, but it’s one we need to win,” Frazier said. “We need to win this game for a lot of reasons, and we have to go out and play well and do it four quarters.

“It’s very, very important for us to get a win.”

No pressure, huh?

The Vikings squandered a 17-7 lead at San Diego in a 24-17 loss, and then watched a 17-0 lead over Tampa Bay turn into a 24-20 defeat. The ultimate disappointment occurred last week, when

MidAmerica Nazarene 33, Baker University 30 BALDWIN CITY — Baker University’s football team put a scare into No. 8 MidAmerica Nazarene, but ultimately fell, 33-30, on Saturday at Liston Stadium.

The Wildcats fell to 3-3 overall and 2-3 in the Heart of America Athletic Conference, while MidAmerica improved to 3-1, 3-1.

Baker scored on a trick play in the first half when Jake Morse threw a lateral to Xavier Lewis, who then tossed a 38-yard touchdown strike to Jake Green to put Baker ahead, 10-7.

The Wildcats led, 23-13, at halftime. Coming out of the break, MidAmerica put together a 61-yard scoring drive on six plays to cut the gap to 23-20. MNU recovered an onside kick follow-

Minnesota led division-rival Detroit 20-0 at halftime.

At home, no less.

Matthew Stafford threw two touchdown VIKINGS AT passes in the second half, CHIEFS the Lions rallied to send When: Noon today the game to Where: Kansas o v e r t i m e , City, Mo. and Jason H a n s o n ’ s TV: FOX (cable field goal channels 4, 204) doomed the Current line: Vikings to Vikings by 3 another defeat.

“I don’t know if I’ve ever started out 0-3, but you go through things through the course of a year,” quarterback Donovan McNabb said.

“Then you find one or two particular games that turn your season around. Could this game be it? It possibly could be. But at this particular point, we need to focus on getting this win, doing whatever it takes to win.”

There are certainly reasons to believe it’ll happen.

Peterson is just shy of 300 yards rushing for the season, giving Minnesota its typically stout ground game.

McNabb has shown signs of brilliance, sporadic as they may be. Defensive end Jared Allen is coming off a three-sack performance against Detroit, and is going for a sack in his sixth straight game, while Ryan Longwell has hit 14 consecutive field goals.

Not to mention the Vikings

are facing a Chiefs team in disarray.

Besides losing their first three games, the defending AFC West champions have also lost safety Eric Berry, running back Jamaal Charles, linebacker Brandon Siler and tight end Tony Moeaki to season-ending injuries. Cornerback Brandon Flowers is nursing a bum ankle, and wide receiver Jon Baldwin — their first-round draft pick — is still out with a thumb injury.

The Chiefs were blown out 41-7 by the Buffalo Bills in their opener and 48-3 by the Lions, but finally showed some moxie last Sunday at San Diego.

After digging another 10-0 hole by halftime, Kansas City came out firing. Matt Cassel started to look downfield, wide receiver Dwayne Bowe finally got open, and the offense found some life after a miserable preseason that bled straight into the regular season.

“You know, what I’m

HEADS UP

proud about is that collectively we’ve come together,” Cassel said, “and we’re working to get this figured out and go down the right path, and hopefully that will result in a win for us sooner than later.”

Both teams hope that’s the case. There’s a big difference between being four games under .500 and two games below the break-even mark.

“It’s very important for our guys to understand that you can’t dig too deep of a hole,” Chiefs coach Todd Haley said. “We’ve already lessened our margin for error.”

Like Frazier, Haley is optimistic that his team will figure things out. Even though it’s little secret that Haley’s job status is uncertain — he has one year left on his contract — he insists that his only concern is turning around what many view as a sinking ship.

Perhaps the “Suck for Luck” movement embraced by some Kansas City fans demonstrates how far the Chief have fallen. After winning the division just last season, some fickle fans are so disgusted by their lousy start that they’re openly rooting against them. That way, they’ll have the No. 1 pick in the draft and could conceivably select Stanford’s Andrew Luck.

Well, one team is going to have a leg-up in that race after today.

It could be the Chiefs. It could also be the Vikings.

“It could be the best game of the week,” Minnesota defensive tackle Remy Ayodele said, almost philosophically.

“Someone’s got to win.”

Kansas St. stuns No. 15 Baylor No. 2 Sooners MANHATTAN (AP) — Arthur Brown never saw Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III. The Kansas State linebacker just knew where he needed to be, sliding to his left after the snap, and was in the right position at the right time.

By the time Griffin’s pass cleared the line of scrimmage, Brown was the only one with a chance to catch it.

His interception in the closing minutes set up Anthony Cantele’s 31-yard field goal with 3:10 left, and the Wildcats held on to beat No. 15 Baylor, 36-35, on Saturday.

“It felt like a God-given catch, you know?” Brown said quietly, long after the game. “I just happened to catch the ball. Finally catch the ball.”

Yes, finally.

Brown bobbled it once, twice — three times, according to his coaches — before he finally pulled it down.

There was still time left for Baylor’s prolific offense, but Brown again came through, sacking Griffin and helping preserve the Wildcats’ victory.

“He’s getting out of character a little bit,” said wide receiver Chris Harper, who was enveloped in a bear hug

by Brown as the clock wound down. “He’s showing emotion.”

It was the first interception thrown by Griffin all season, and spoiled another virtuoso performance by the Heisman Trophy candidate. He came into the game having thrown more touchdown passes than incompletions.

Griffin finished 23-of-31 for 346 yards and five touchdowns — and one big interception.

“I take sole responsibility for that,” he said. “I’m the leader of this team. I’m the guy that’s in the Heisman race, so I’ve got to help us win that game, and we didn’t win it.”

Griffin directed five impressive scoring drives, the longest taking just 2 minutes,

NORMAN, OKLA. (AP) — Landry Jones threw for 425 yards and five touchdowns, Tony Jefferson fueled a second-quarter scoring surge with three interceptions and second-ranked Oklahoma geared up for its rivalry game against Texas next week by beating Ball State, 62-6, on Saturday night.

Jones had touchdown passes of 64 yards to Ryan Broyles and 56 yards to Jaz Reynolds a minute apart in the third quarter during the second high-volume scoring stretch for the Sooners (4-0).

Ball State (3-2) didn’t stand much of a chance after recovering an onside kick to open the game, then going three-and-out, particularly after Jefferson stopped three straight Cardinals drives with picks midway through the second quarter.

It was the second straight week the Sooners had an unimpressive start before taking control with 28 straight points in the second quarter.

Coach Bob Stoops had responded to last week’s 38-28 victory against Missouri by increasing the intensity in practice and allowing more contact at the start of the week.

Led by Jefferson, the Sooners provided a resounding response, with little time left for tweaks before the Red River Rivalry in Dallas next Saturday.

Keith Wenning had gone 176 straight passes without an interception but then threw three to Jefferson in a span of four attempts, and Oklahoma capitalized to score 28 points in 51⁄2 minutes to turn a fourpoint game into a blowout.

On Ball State’s first play after Dominique Whaley’s 25-yard TD run, Sooners defensive end Frank Alexander tipped Wenning’s pass high into the air, and Jefferson leaped to grab the ball. That set up Kenny Stills’ 7-yard touchdown catch from Jones two plays later.

Roy Finch picked up 47 yards on a swing pass, and Whaley then punched it in with a 1-yard score on his fourth straight carry.

And Jefferson wasn’t done yet.

He tracked down another batted ball — this time by R.J. Washington — for his third interception in a span of six offensive snaps by the Cardinals. Broyles scored two plays later on a 27yard touchdown catch from Jones, capping the Sooners’ sudden scoring spurt and make it 38-6.

Rose Bowl two weeks ago.

ARLINGTON, TEXAS (AP) — Give Texas A&M credit for one thing. In the last two weeks, the Aggies have made a lot of folks happy in both the conference they’re leaving, and the one they’re joining.

It’s their own players, coaches and fans who are furious.

A week after blowing a 17-point halftime lead at home to a current Big 12 rival, the Aggies blew an 18-point halftime lead against future SEC rival Arkansas on Saturday. The Razorbacks pulled out a 42-38 victory with a record-shattering passing attack and a 3-yard rushing touchdown with 1:41 left that put them ahead for the first time.

Christine Michael ran for 230 yards and three touchdowns, but was stuffed for no gain on a fourth-and-2 on what turned out to be A&M’s final play. That set off a wild celebration by Arkansas faithful, punctuated by cheers of “S-E-C! S-E-C!” “We definitely have to play better, coach better and be better in order to win football games,” coach Mike Sherman said. “Certainly that is a struggle for us at this point. Each player in that locker room has to look at themselves, as well as the coaches, and figure out what we could all have done a lot better. You look at the stats and you could justify different things. The bottom line is we didn’t do enough in the second half to win the football game.”

Tyler Wilson threw for a school-record 510 yards and Jarius Wright caught 13 passes for a school-record 281 yards to power the comeback by Arkansas (4-1). Broderick Green had the winning touchdown, his second TD of the game, in his season debut following a spring injury that many expected to wipe out his season.

“We played in the second half with a tremendous amount of heart, competitive spirit, toughness,” Arkansas

ARKANSAS RUNNING BACK RONNIE WINGO JR. GETS PAST Texas A&M linebacker Charlie Thomas (9) to score a touchdown. The Razorbacks upended the Aggies, 42-38, on Saturday in Arlington, Texas. coach Bobby Petrino said. “It was a really good win.”

Texas A&M (2-2) scored five touchdowns in the first half, all on the ground against a defense that had allowed only a single rushing touchdown over four previous games.

The Aggies went from gaining 404 yards over the first two quarters to gaining 224 over the last two. All they could muster in the second half was a field goal, albeit one that gave them a 38-35 lead with 4:22 left.

“We just weren’t converting third downs, and getting into fourth-and-short and having to punt,” A&M quarterback Ryan Tannehill said. “We just have to get first downs and keep the ball moving.”

The back-to-back, secondhalf collapses have taken the Aggies from No. 8 and the cusp of the national title chase to likely the back end of the Top 25.

“We’ll have some heart-tohearts this week, particularly on Monday, about which direction we’re going to go and make sure that what happened today doesn’t happen again,” Sherman said.

The Aggies have dropped seven straight games to SEC teams, dating to 1995, or back when they were in the Southwest Conference. That makes them 0-for-the-Big-12era against teams from their new league.

“I don’t put a whole lot of stock into all that stuff,” Sherman said. “We’re in the Big 12 right now and we need to win in the Big 12. We’re focusing more on this season.

We’ll worry about next season, next season, when we are in that conference.”

Wilson bested the school passing record of 409 set by Ryan Mallett against Vanderbilt last season. He was 30-of51 with three touchdowns, including a pinpoint 68-yarder

“It’s just chipping away. We had success spreading ‘em out in an empty formation.

I knew we’d have success in the second half if the defense could hold ‘em a few times.”

Wright broke the school receiving record of 204 yards by halftime. He wound up also tying the catches record. And, in a single game, he got more than a quarter of the yardage needed for the single-season record of 1,004.

pound Tigers Rangers’ bats revert to form Yanks in shortened game

By Stephen Hawkins

Associated Press Sports Writer

ARLINGTON, TEXAS — With Texas Rangers fans chanting his name, Mike Napoli kept fouling off pitches until getting the big hit after James Shields had hit two batters.

Then Tampa Bay’s starter really got wild.

After Napoli’s two-run single, Shields threw a pair of wild pitches to the same batter. One of the balls in the dirt sent home the tiebreaking run in a five-run fourth inning for the Rangers in an 8-6 victory Saturday night that evened the AL division series at a game apiece.

The defending American League champion Rangers were finally on the board in the game — and in the series after being held to two hits in the opener by 22-yearold rookie left-hander Matt Moore and two 20-something relievers in Tampa Bay’s first-ever postseason shutout.

“It was very satisfying because Tampa has some great pitching over there, and pitching usually settles down a great offense,” Texas manager Ron Washington said. “But we kept grinding and kept grinding, and, you know, I think we got our confidence back.”

This time, the home team finally won a postseason game between the Rangers and Rays.

Game 3 in the best-of-five series is Monday in Tampa.

Colby Lewis pitches for the Rangers against David Price.

Texas was trailing 3-0 when Elvis Andrus was hit by a breaking pitch leading off the fourth. Josh Hamilton then singled between the shortstop and the second baseman, both positioned on the right side of the infield against the slugger. Michael Young’s sharp single to left loaded the bases.

The Rangers then got their

TEXAS’ MITCH MORELAND, RIGHT, WATCHES his eighth-inning home run against Tampa Bay on Saturday in Arlington, Texas. Texas beat the Rays, 8-6. first run of the series when Shields hit Adrian Beltre with a fastball near his left knee, forcing in a run.

When Shields threw three consecutive balls to Napoli, the chants of “Nap-o-li!, Nap-o-li!” began and only grew louder with each swing.

Napoli swung and missed at two pitches, then fouled off three consecutive before ripping a liner to left that tied the game at 3.

“It was pretty loud too, and when I heard it, I was like, ‘You guys can’t do this to me right now in this situation,’” Napoli said. “But I put a good at-bat together.”

Ian Kinsler said he got chills hearing the chants.

Howard, Phillies overcome shaky start, beat Cards 11-6 PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Ryan Howard took a mighty cut, dropped his bat and admired the shot.

The big slugger didn’t go down looking in a clutch spot this time, and Roy Halladay overcame a shaky start to help the Philadelphia Phillies beat the St. Louis Cardinals 11-6 Saturday night in the Howard opener of their NL division series.

Howard shook off his season-ending strikeout last October to hit a go-ahead, threerun homer in a five-run sixth inning, sending Citizens Bank Park into a frenzy. Halladay retired his last 21 batters, and the NL East champions began their all-or-nothing postseason run with a comeback win.

Same, too, with Gallardo.

The right-hander retired 14 of 15 during one stretch, perhaps helped by how the shadows cut across the infield. With an early start time, the sun peeked through

TEXAS TECH 45, KANSAS 34

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

Third-quarter swoon dooms KU again

By Jesse Newell jnewell@ljworld.com

For the second straight game, Kansas University played competitive football in the first half only to suffer through a brutal third quarter.

The Jayhawks were outscored by three touchdowns in the third during Saturday’s 45-34 loss to Texas Tech.

KU has been outscored 49-0 in the period during the last two games and 76-21 this season.

“We’ve got to continue to

address it with our staff and our players to see if we can become better to make more plays in the third quarter,” KU coach Turner Gill said.

“That’s very, very important.”

The reasons for the second-half struggles Saturday were numerous.

Defensively, KU had troubles stopping Texas Tech’s hurry-up offense. The Red Raiders picked up their pace significantly after halftime.

“Sometimes that hurts you, because you can’t get the call off quick enough,” KU fresh-

man safety Keeston Terry said. “We’ll definitely make adjustments and fix that.”

Getting the play called takes time, and it begins with diagnosing the positions of the offensive players on the field. A two-tight-end set will call for a different formation than a five-wide-receiver set.

Defensive players’ alignments also change based on what they see across from them.

“Play call is a big deal, especially when you’re one of the safeties, and you’ve got a lot to read,” KU junior Brad-

ley McDougald said. “Once you get the play, you have to do a certain thing within the play. The speed of the play call could come in faster, but that’s nothing to point the finger at, I wouldn’t say.”

The quick pace not only limits substitutions, it also forces defenders to analyze things quickly.

“At the time, we weren’t necessarily aggressive,” KU senior linebacker Steven Johnson said. “When they started going fast, it was like we were on our heels and against the ropes. We were

trying to fight it off, but it got hard.”

The third-quarter numbers for KU’s defense aren’t pretty.

The Jayhawks have allowed touchdowns on 12 of their opponents’ 14 thirdquarter drives (85.7 percent) this season.

Each of KU’s four opponents also has scored on its first possession of the second half. That includes drives of 76, 66, 63 and 91 yards.

Offensively, KU failed to score in its three third-period possessions.

“We had a roll in the third

quarter,” KU offensive coordinator Chuck Long said. “We came out and we had some hits, had some yardage, and all of a sudden, we throw a pick, then they eat up the clock.”

In the 15-minute span, KU had 15 plays for 73 yards (4.9 yards per play). That was after a first half when the Jayhawks posted 39 plays for 303 yards (7.8 yards per play). “(Texas Tech) did adjust well, and hat’s off to them,” Long said. “But we just beat ourself. If you look at our drives, we just sputtered because we beat ourself.”

HOW THEY SCORED First Quarter 13:10 — James Sims 11 run. Alex Mueller kick blocked. After a 56-yard kickoff return set up KU in Texas Tech territory, the Jayhawks marched 41 yards in four plays and 1:50 to take the lead on the first drive of the game. Sims ran three times for 16 yards, and QB Jordan Webb hit Darrian Miller with a 25-yard screen pass. (KU 7, TT 0).

10:23 — Brandon Bourbon 51 run.

Mueller kick. The Jayhawks jumped on top by two scores with another big play from the offense. Sims ran three times for eight yards on the drive, and Webb hit tight end Tim Biere for a 16-yard gain on third-and-seven. Two plays later Bourbon raced to the end zone for his first career touchdown. The drive covered 75 yards in five plays and 1:46. (KU 13, TT 0).

3:39 — Kale Pick 1 fumble recovery.

Mueller kick. Webb completed two passes for 74 yards on the drive, including a 54-yarder to D.J. Beshears that set up the score. On the TD, Webb hit Biere over the middle for a 20-yard gain. Biere fumbled at the one, and Pick jumped on it in the end zone. The drive spanned 75 yards in six plays and 2:54. (KU 20, TT 0).

1:35 — DeAndre Washington 1 run.

Donnie Carona kick. Led by four completions from QB Seth Doege, the Red Raiders marched down the field in seven plays. Tech’s first scoring drive spanned 52 yards and 1:57. (KU 20, TT 7).

Second Quarter 14:22 — Eric Ward 40 pass from Seth Doege. Carona kick. Credit Ward for some of the score and the Kansas defense with the rest. Ward caught a 12-yard pass and then broke four tackles on his way to the end zone. The drive spanned one play, 40 yards and took 29 seconds. (KU 20, TT 14).

10:48 — Jacoby Franks 13 pass from Doege. Carona kick. After KU’s second interception of the day, the Red Raiders marched 45 yards in six plays to claim the lead. The drive took just a minute and featured three completions from Doege, two of which went to speedy wideout Eric Ward. (TT 21, KU 20).

7:54 — Carona 46 field goal. KU’s defense held the Red Raiders to a field goal after a 35-yard pass to Cornelius Douglas set up Tech inside KU territory.

The drive covered 39 yards six plays and took 45 seconds. (TT 24, KU 20).

0:47 — Rell Lewis 19 pass from Jordan Webb. Mueller kick. Kansas reclaimed the lead with the longest drive of the day for either team. Webb completed three passes to three receivers, Bourbon ran twice for 13 yards, and KU ran the clock under a minute remaining in the first half. The drive went 62 yards in six plays and 3:38. (KU 27, TT 24).

Third Quarter 11:23 — Eric Stephens 8 run. Carona kick. Red Raiders open the second half with a 12-play, 91-yard drive that took 3:33 off the clock. Doege completed four of five passes for 34 yards and ran for 12 more. (TT 31, KU 27).

5:21 — Stephens 1 run. Carona kick.

Texas Tech unleashed its second double-digit play drive of the half to take a two-score lead for the first time. The Red Raiders went 80 yards in 11 plays and 3:29. The drive’s key play came on a fourth-and-one inside the KU five-yard line, which Stephens converted out of the Wildcat. (TT 38, KU 27).

2:49 — Ward 18 pass from Doege.

Carona kick. Texas Tech’s hurryup offense continued to gash the KU defense. The Red Raiders opened up its largest lead of the day on an eight-play, 64-yard drive that was capped by a wonderful catch from Ward, who caught the pass while falling down after watching KU’s Greg Brown initially tip it away.

(TT 45, KU 27).

Fourth Quarter 3:30 — AJ Steward 10 pass from Webb.

Mueller kick. The Jayhawks scored their first points of the second half and cut Tech’s lead to two scores on a five-play drive that covered 45 yards and 1:20.

Webb completed five straight passes on the drive, two to Biere and one each to Sims, Pick and Steward. (TT 45, KU 34).

TEXAS TECH QUARTERBACK SETH DOEGE escapes Kansas defensive end Toben Opurum and throws to a receiver for a touchdown during the second quarter. Tech beat KU, 45-34, on Saturday at Memorial Stadium.

Kansas CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

first drive, KU struck again, this time on a 51-yard TD run by freshman tailback Brandon Bourbon. Just like that, the Jayhawks led by two touchdowns.

Two drives later, they made it three, when junior receiver Kale Pick alertly fell on a fumble in the end zone after Webb hit tight end Tim Biere on a 20-yard pass that came loose at the one-yard line.

“We had an awesome start,” said Webb, who finished the first quarter 5-for5 for 131 yards. “We just couldn’t sustain it. But if we can start like that every game, we’re gonna give ourselves a good chance to win.”

Added Gill: “I think the first

quarter is probably as good of a quarter as we’ve had.”

While it led to elation at the time, the Pick touchdown was the beginning of the end for the Jayhawks. Up to that point, just about everything went KU’s way. Flags were thrown on Texas Tech. Balls bounced the Jayhawks’ way.

Even when they didn’t, like when Beshears muffed a punt and gave Texas Tech the ball at the KU 25, somebody found a way to make a play and put the momentum back on KU’s side. In this instance, it was red-shirt freshman safety Keeston Terry, whose early interception was the first for KU this season.

“In the first quarter, we, as a defense, were dictating to them,” senior co-captain Steven Johnson said. “But when they make big plays, then it gets a little difficult to go out there because they speed up the tempo.”

After gaining 218 yards in the first quarter, KU managed just 85 in the second.

The Red Raiders, meanwhile, turned their fortunes the other way, more than doubling their first-quarter total yardage mark of 82 and finishing the half with 257 yards of total offense.

That was just the first warning sign for Kansas, which, for the second straight game, saw a disastrous third quarter turn a competitive ballgame into a blowout.

Behind two TD runs from Eric Stephens (25 carries for 126 yards) and an incredible TD catch by Eric Ward, Tech outscored KU 21-0 and outgained the Jayhawks 224-73 in the third quarter.

“I didn’t think tackling was an issue in the first half,” KU defensive coordinator Vic Shealy said. “But in the third quarter, on the three touchdowns we gave up, we had

some issues where the tackling was not at its best.”

Some of that was because of poor technique. Some of it was because the Jayhawks simply did not deliver when they were supposed to.

“We didn’t come in with a real complicated scheme,” Terry said. “Against Georgia Tech, at halftime, we tried to make a whole bunch of adjustments, and that kind of hurt us. This second half, we didn’t really make a lot of adjustments. We went out and did the same things. We just have to execute better.”

While the defense reverted to the form that led to it being ranked dead last in the FBS in total defense, the offense killed its own progress with costly turnovers.

Two of the three interceptions thrown by Webb came as a result of tipped balls. But, even with the miscues, the offense racked up 478 total

yards, including 239 on the ground.

Despite giving up the early lead and more than 500 yards of total offense, several members of the KU defense said the unit took a step forward Saturday.

“I know it’s easy to shoot the horse and shoot the horses,” Shealy said. “But that’s a really good offense, and they do some things that are very, very difficult, and our kids handled some situations. I’m optimistic because we played better today. It may not show, but we played better.”

Better, but not well enough to win and not well enough to walk away feeling good about the effort.

“It was big,” said Johnson of the missed opportunity.

“But we can’t get it back now. It’s in the past. I’m looking forward to turning this around and getting this sick feeling out of our stomachs.”

NOTEBOOK

Jayhawks RB Miller hurts hamstring

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

On the second play from scrimmage of Saturday’s 4534 loss to Texas Tech, Kansas University freshman Darrian Miller caught a quick pass, danced around a few defenders and raced 25 yards to set up KU’s first touchdown.

The play proved to be the last of the day for Miller, who, according to KU coach Turner Gill, tweaked a hamstring and was held out of action the rest of the afternoon.

Gill said Miller originally injured his hamstring earlier in the week in practice. Although Miller was held out more to prevent further damage, his status for next week’s game at Oklahoma State was not immediately known.

Through four games, Miller has gained 173 yards on 34 carries with three touchdowns and added 32 yards on two receptions.

TEXAS TECH’S ERIC WARD (18) GRABS A TOUCHDOWN CATCH against KU defender Greg Brown in the second half of the Red Raiders’ 45-34 victory Saturday at Memorial Stadium.

Tech slow to start ————

Victory over KU ‘dèjá vu’ for Raiders

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Texas Tech’s undefeated football team has trailed in three of its four games this season.

“Dèjá vu ... start slow, end fast,” second-year Tech coach Tommy Tuberville said after the Red Raiders’ 45-34 victory over Kansas University on Saturday at Memorial Stadium. “As I told the team, one of these days we’re going to start fast.

The great thing about it is we know how to come from behind. We can do it on the road, at home and (with) different people doing it.”

Tech — which trailed by 10 points in its home opener against Texas State and by 14 again at home last week against Nevada — on Saturday dug a 20-0 hole with three minutes left in the first quarter. The Jayhawks (2-2 overall, 0-1 Big 12) looked as if they might win in a rout.

“They were fired up, playing a home game, homecoming, new uniforms. It seemed like we couldn’t stop them. It didn’t look good,” Tuberville said. “You don’t like spotting teams 20 points. There’s not many teams in the league the rest of the way we can spot a lot of points and have a chance. We’re going to have to play much better.”

It was Tech’s first comeback victory on the road of 20 or more points since a 31-30 decision over the Jayhawks on Sept. 25, 2004, at Memorial Stadium. Tech trailed 30-5 in that one with :48 left

before halftime, also in the Big 12 opener for both teams.

“We’ve been in that position before. It’s nothing new for us. We didn’t panic.

We knew it was going to be OK,” Tech quarterback Seth Doege said after completing 29 of 46 passes for 366 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. He was sacked once.

“They played hard,” Doege added of the Jayhawks, “but at the same time I felt it was us stopping ourselves.”

Tech (4-0, 1-0) was flagged 17 times for 154 yards.

“Seventeen penalties?

You’ve got to be kidding me.

I won’t get into that,” Tuberville said. “We had to fight through a lot of long-yardage situations on offense, and we kept making them and making big plays.”

Tuberville barked at the officials on several occasions.

“I’ve got their names. We always converse. They’ll jump on me. I’ll jump on them,” Tuberville said with a smile. “That’s part of it. I just complained about judgment calls.

“They are probably all (100 percent) right,” he added of the refs’ accuracy on calls.

“The one good thing as a head coach ... you get an opportunity to express your opinion. I’ll never do it in a derogatory way. We’ll look at the film tomorrow and go, ‘That’s probably a good call.’

I’m more disappointed we had that many.”

Tuberville is happy he survived the game in one piece.

He went down hard af-

ter getting clobbered out of bounds following a sweep by KU’s Tony Pierson.

“It took me awhile (to recover). It takes awhile to overcome adversity. That track is hard,” Tuberville said. “When I went down on that track, I thought I was 25. I remember now I’m 57.

It was all good. I know better than that. I know where to stand. That’s one thing about coaching ... you never stand downfield, you stand behind the play. I had a mental lapse.”

Eric Stephens rushed for 124 yards off 26 carries and scored two touchdowns. He has rushed for at least one TD in six straight games.

“We were surprised how fast they got out on us,” Stephens said. “They got a quick 20-point lead on us. We never panicked, were able to stay focused and pull it out. Like coach Tuberville said, if we have to do it like this every week and still win, it’s fine.”

Tech notes: Doege, who had thrown 122 passes without an interception, was picked off by Keeston Terry on Tech’s third possession.

He has thrown for at least three TDs in all four games ... Eric Ward had four catches for 71 yards and two TDs. ..

Tech, which has won seven in a row overall, is 4-0 for the first time since going 10-0 in 2008. ... Tech is 12-1 all-time versus KU. ... The Raiders had their most penalties since being called for 18 for 169 yards in the 2008 season opener against Eastern Washington.

(passed for 336 yards and three touchdowns) and running back Eric Stephens (rushed for 124 yards and two touchdowns), too much strength blocking for them, too much time to believe anything but that they would catch the Jayhawks and pass them.

But did it have to happen so quickly? From the time Kansas took a 20-0 lead to the time it trailed 21-20, just 7:51 of game clock elapsed.

The easy answer lies with blaming Webb for throwing a pair of interceptions that led to scores. The easy answer’s not always the fair one. Webb hadn’t thrown a pick all year until throwing three Saturday, and one of them hit the hands of Kansas receiver Chris Omigie first.

Truth is, the offense, though guilty of fits of sloppiness in this one, is ahead of schedule. The effective running game has enabled offensive coordinator Chuck Long to put Webb into good spots to taste success, drawing the defense up to stop the run and pulling it even closer with play-action fakes.

It’s the defense and lessthan-stellar special teams (fumbled fair catch and a blocked extra point) that don’t inspire any confidence this is a football team that can escape the Big 12 cellar. The air in the George Mrkonic Auditorium, site of the postgame interviews, doesn’t hint at more inspirational days ahead, either.

KANSAS COACH TURNER GILL HAS WORDS with the officiating crew following a first-quarter play in which tight end Tim Biere dropped a pass that was recovered. The play eventually was ruled a KU touchdown.

Very often, during postgame media sessions, athletes tend to reveal their coach’s message delivered in the locker room after losses, and the way they do it is by stealing his words to explain what happened. Several of the players, asked about why the team has performed so poorly in its past two third quarters, talked about “poor execution,” Gill’s fall-back quote. It doesn’t really say anything. The only coach ever to use the word execution in a quote in a meaningful way was John McKay in the early days of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Asked, after a particularly unsightly loss, what he thought of his team’s execution, McKay said, “I think it’s a good idea.

I’m all for it.”

Obviously, he didn’t mean it, but he did get his point across. In most walks of life, especially when dealing with youth, nurturing confidence is the best path to creating fertile soil for growth.

But football’s not like most things. It’s brutal. It’s war without weapons. Particularly on defense, it’s best played by men dragged out of their comfort zones and into a state of rage, men bent on seeking and destroying.

I’d like to believe that’s happening in practice, but it’s difficult not to be a doubting Thomas on that front.

Don’t look at the schedule to cultivate belief. It calls for a Saturday visit to Stillwater to face No. 5 Oklahoma State. The following Saturday it will be interesting to see how much red fills Memorial Stadium when the second-ranked Oklahoma Sooners visit.

For Kansas football, the great thing about the apparent Big 12 stability is that the coaches can continue to sell playing in the Big 12 to recruits. The tough thing for the coaches about staying in the conference is they have to prepare for a Big 12 team every week.

“What’s going on with Lucy?”

“I’ll take her out to — you know — go, and she’ll squat for a really long time — a minute, maybe two.

Then, she’ll sniff around and squat again, even longer. This goes on for three or four more squats, which is weird. She’s usually a one-and-done kind of gal.”

“Have you noticed any blood in her urine?”

“Um, no,” I say, sudden-

People usually choose spring and fall to clean up around their house. They wash windows for a better view or rake up leaves to clear the lawn. As a photographer, I clean up year-round. No matter what situation or subject I find myself photographing, one of the steps to capturing a better photograph, is removing clutter from the scene. I thought I had a nice scene

AFTER CIRCLING these two musicians several times while trying to compose a photograph, I settled on a low-angle shot to clean up what was a fairly cluttered scene. Dennis Salyer, left, and Merrill Steele, both of Lawrence, play a little blues on electric guitars in South Park on Sept. 22.

recently when I spotted two musicians playing guitar in South Park.

I grabbed two cameras from my car, one with a wide-angle lens and one with a telephoto lens and introduced myself to the guitar pickers. While they rambled through some blues and a rendition of “Stand By Me,” I backed off to start framing up photographs. Typically, I begin with a straight-forward shot just to get something in my camera. I do this for two reasons.

Want to join the ranks of the undead? Playing a zombie isn’t too hard. All you need is the look, the moves and the motivation.

The look Getting the look right isn’t too difficult — or expensive.

A lot can be done with dollarbin items or ones you already have in your closet. Because, remember, zombies were just normal folks walking around before being overcome by a viral outbreak or the bite from an already-made member of the undead. And once infected, they didn’t run home and change into their zombie clothes, they just became instantly interested in brains and flesh.

“I usually just go raid the Goodwill and bloody up, dirty up some clothes,” says Cole Hwa Davis, a longtime member of the walk. He also says he occasionally falls back on old outfits. “I have a business suit zombie, casual jeans zombie ... usually I like to have some kind of coat because it’s usually pretty cold.”

As for the makeup, Elahe Marjovi, a Kansas University grad student who teaches makeup in the School of the Arts, says you can do some pretty neat effects for little money at all. She says for about $3 you can buy liquid latex at a costume shop and use it to help give the skin a rotten texture. Though, she says you should test it first to make sure you don’t have an allergy. It’s also important to keep it away from eyes, hair and not to use it on children. Beyond that, you can dress things up by trying out any of the colors of the bruising spectrum on the skin — blues, purples, golden yellows and greens — create a real “dead” look.

“It’s really not that difficult, because it’s just all crazy,” says Marjovi, who did the makeup for our photo shoot. “I don’t think it’s necessary to do latex. You can just play with the color of the skin.”

Fake blood is another cheap purchase, but if you don’t want to deal with the mess or the less-than-great taste, Marjovi says lipstick or food coloring also work well.

Laurie Winkel, a theater performance major at KU, also suggests an old film trick.

“Dyeing corn syrup red is a favorite method of horror filmmakers, thicken it with molasses,” says Winkle, who adds playing a specific zombie character like, “Zombie Dumbledore” (the professor of “Harry Potter” fame) would be really fun.

Set any makeup with powder, baby powder or cornstarch before applying any fake blood — commercial or homemade — so that you’ll set your handiwork without making the blood look matted, says Marjovi.

Agnew recommends that if it’s your first time not to go overboard — you can always add more if you want to repeat the look for Halloween or do the same, upgraded zombie at next year’s walk.

“Find some clothes that are

give it a try.

I rummage through my kitchen drawers and pull out a 9-inch by 13-inch glass lasagna dish.

“What are you doing?” my husband asks, coming out after his shower.

“Collecting a urine sample,” I reply, matter-of-factly.

“From an elephant?” he says, looking at the pan.

“I prefer not to get it on me.”

“That’ll never fit between her legs. The neighbors will think you’re making cocker spaniel cannelloni.”

“Oh, all right,” I sniff, and pull out my least favorite cereal bowl. “Let’s go, girl.”

For the next 10 minutes, I track that hound like a stealth bomber, stick to her like white on rice. When she finally stops to squat, I fall to my knees and slide the bowl between her hind

Agnew is this year’s event organizer. comfortable, but maybe they have a stain or a rip or something like that so that they fit nicely, but you don’t care what happens to them. Splatter some fake blood on it and make a note that if you put fake blood on it, give it sufficient time to dry,” he says.

“Some white makeup on the face, some black on the eyes, and maybe a little shading.

Maybe rub a little bit of dirt on your clothing, also.”

The moves If you want to move like a zombie, mean it, says Hwa Davis.

“Commit to it. Because Mass Street is a really long walk,” says Hwa Davis, who has done the walk all four times. “So, commit to it and find something that’s comfortable to do. In the first 5 minutes of walking like a zombie, you’re sore.”

So, how does a zombie move? According to Matt Jacobson, Kansas University associate professor of film and video production, there are two schools of thought.

“The classic zombie, the one that you see in ‘Night of the Living Dead,’ is what they call ‘The slow zombie.’ That’s the kind of zombie that overwhelms with sheer numbers and their relative unkillability,” Jacobson says. “But lately, they’ve started doing what they call the ‘fast zombie’ movies. Movies like ‘28 Days Later’ and ‘I Am Legend’ where death doesn’t slow down the zombie masses, it speeds them up. They become almost manic in the way that they’re able to move and outrun and outpace the survivors.”

The motivation If the a night of fun and a donation to the lovable waifs at the Lawrence Humane Society weren’t reasons enough to gather your zombie gear, Jacobson offers a few thoughts on the benefits of being a zombie.

“As a zombie your life is pretty simple. You hang out.

You look around for flesh to eat, for brains to eat. You legs. She whips around, rears back and stares at me, as if to say, “What fresh Hell is this?

Isn’t there a cocktail with your name on it back in the house?”

I’m relentless, getting more creative with each failed attempt. As she wanders around the yard, alternately sniffing the ground and checking me out over her shoulder, I act nonchalant. I pick weeds, look at the sky, whistle and sing songs about rain. (Because Mom always said that helps you put you in a liquid state of mind.)

I’m singing in the rain, just singing in the rain….rainy days and Mondays always get me down… I want to know, have you ever seen the rain…. I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain….

The pooch is nonplussed, and frustratingly nonproductive.

Finally — as I run desperately low on liquid lyrics — she squats. And stays!

I assume the position, slide the bowl into place, close my eyes and whisper…

Raindrops keep falling on

don’t even try not to get killed. Literally, it’s life reduced down to it’s basest levels. Where it’s just about the struggle for survival,” Jacobson says. “You don’t have to worry about whether your interest rate is going up on your credit cards or whether you’re going to be able to pay the mortgage, who you’re going to vote for in the next election or what your Facebook status is because it’s always constant, it’s always the same: brains.”

He says that this kind of life at its most basic scenario could account for zombies’ recent popularity in our modern world of economic crisis, political back-stabbing and a never-ending succession of bills.

“There are some people out there, I’m sure, except for like the flesh rotting, would be really happy if their life was reduced to just that base level,” Jacobson says. “Rather than all of the other concerns and worries and issues we have to deal with. It’s a very simple life ... unlife. It’s a very simple undeath.”

Though, Jacobson says he’s not all for going the way of Ed at the end of the cult classic “Shaun of the Dead” — living as a zombie chained up in a friend’s shed, playing video games.

“That was the most absolutely frightening part of that movie,” he says. “Because I would hope that my friends know me well enough that if it comes down to it, and I get infected as a zombie, please cut my head off. And maybe that’s what we need to do, we need the opposite of a living will. An undead will. ‘If the zombie apocalypse happens, please cut my head off. Do not attempt anything heroic. Do not keep me in a shed so that I can play video games with you.’ That’s horrific. No, no, I don’t want that to happen. I think that’s what we need, a living dead will.”

my head, but that doesn’t mean my eyes will soon be turning red … cryin’s not for me…

Halfway into the second chorus, Lucy straightens up and walks away. There, in the soon-to-be-trashed bowl, is a specimen, approximately two teaspoons in volume. And not a drop on me, to boot!

“Good girl!!” I cry, meaning me, not her. This is easily the biggest accomplishment of my day.

“Let the weekend begin!” I proclaim, as I carry the bowl gingerly into the house, transfer the contents to a glass jar and store it in the fridge.

“What do you wanna do?” my husband asks.

“I don’t know,” I say, scrubbing my hands like Lady Macbeth. “But, somewhere in this house, there’s a cocktail with my name on it.”

WASHINGTON — Works by leading black artists in the contemporary art realm are now on view at Washington’s Corcoran Gallery of Art to tackle issues of racial, sexual and historical identity.

The exhibit, “30 Americans,” will be on view through February. It features 31 artists, including Jean-Michel Basquiat, Hank Willis Thomas, Kehinde Wiley and others. The 76 works come from Miamibased collectors Don and Mera Rubell.

Corcoran Director Fred Bollerer said it marks an effort to undertake more daring exhibitions that examine serious issues and provoke debate. The Corcoran created two companion exhibits featuring 12 new, provocative works by Thomas called “Strange Fruit” that includes images harking back to slavery and 25 photographs by Gordon Parks.

“It’s a challenging show,” Bollerer said. “It’s meant to be a challenging show.”

The images from Thomas are particularly striking.

They include photographs of athletes playing basketball through a noose, instead of a hoop, and familiar logos like

Secondly, getting the initial frame in my camera gives me a sample exposure of the scene. If I’m off on my lighting I can quickly adjust.

These first shots are usually not very interesting. Finding the best compositions requires moving around. I circled the musicians and continued to photograph with both wide and telephoto lenses, but nothing looked

good. There were cars in the background or the bright sunlight was too distracting beyond the shade-covered subjects.

I couldn’t seem to make a visually interesting image.

After making several rounds I decided to stand on a picnic table and shoot down on the jam session. This was better. It eliminated cars and the lighting was even, but it showed mostly tops of heads.

Boring. I tried moving in close and shooting over one musicians shoulder, framing on the second player. It was less cluttered, but it turned the image into a one-man band. Eventually I sat on the grass in front of them and laid my camera with the wide-

Thomas, who is based in New York and Paris, said he wanted to explore the word “branding” as it relates to advertising and focused in part on Nike because its logo is so often promoted by black men, such as Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant.

“In what other contexts historically would branding exist?” he said. “So thinking about how slaves were branded as a sign of ownership and how today so many of us live in a state of branded consciousness.”

Thomas explained that much of his work is focused on bringing history into the present. A gallery of works involving the noose and other images from slavery was commissioned by the Corcoran.

Another work targets the NCAA with an image of college football players facing slaves picking cotton to address the “absurdity” of not paying college athletes in a multimillion-dollar industry, Thomas said.

Other works are lighter celebrations of bodies and lives in a vast survey that explores what it means to be black in America, said Corcoran Curator Sarah Newman.

The exhibit will travel to the Chrysler Museum of Art in Norfolk, Va., in March.

It eliminated all the clutter of the rest of the park, the cars, even the distracting items on top of the picnic table. What remained were two musicians framed against a backdrop of leaves.

It certainly wasn’t an awardwinning image but after some work I was successful at improving the image with some major clean-up. It beats washing windows.

Extraordinary life in progress

By Allen Pierleoni McClatchy Newspapers

SACRAMENTO, CALIF. — It seems there’s nothing Robert H. Hirst doesn’t know about humorist Mark Twain, aka “the father of American literature.”

A bold statement, but true.

Hirst is among the world’s pre-eminent Twain scholars.

As such, he is the editor-incharge and curator of the Mark Twain Papers and Mark Twain Project at the University of California, Berkeley.

It was Hirst who led his Val Sheldon, team of editors in sortrestaurant employee, ing through and annotating Lawrence Twain’s 5,000-page manu“Rizzoli & Isles” series by script that is the basis of last Tess Gerritsen. I don’t like year’s best-selling “The Authe program, but the books tobiography of Mark Twain: are good.”

Volume 1” (University of California Press, $34.95, 736 pages).

“We’re finishing the second of the three volumes of the autobiography now,” Hirst said by phone from his office at the campus’ Bancroft Library. “It may be in print by next fall.”

Hirst had just returned from a conference of Twain scholars held in Hannibal, Mo., the boyhood home of Samuel Clemens, who was born in 1835 and died in 1910.

Marilyn French, “You can imagine what that retired, was like,” he said.

South Carolina Not really. Maybe like a “Genealogy material — I’ve been researching for the fam- convention of nuclear physiily. My husband’s great-grand- cists, only with a storyline?

Hirst said something starfather was in the first law tling about “The Adventures school class at KU in 1878.” of Tom Sawyer” (1876), a point that likely eludes most readers.

“Twain said the book doesn’t have a plot, and he was right,” Hirst said. “It’s more a string of events told in almost a random way — this happens, then that happens.

It doesn’t anticipate and Tom doesn’t grow up.”

Does that mean “Tom Sawyer” really isn’t a novel?

“Twain called himself a ‘jack-legged novelist,’ meanJessica Babler, ing an amateur one,” Hirst Free State student, said. “His specialty was the Lawrence short form; he knew he didn’t “‘The Poisonwood Bible’ by have the instinct for the long Barbara Kingsolver. We had tale that is a novel. ‘The Adto read it for class, but it’s a ventures of Huckleberry lot different than most things Finn’ (1884) is the thing that we read.

“My saying is that ‘Tom Sawyer’ is a game of checkers and ‘Huck Finn’ is a game of chess. The storyline is continuous, from the end of ‘Tom’ to the beginning of ‘Huck.’ They’re almost one book, except the two halves are very different. ‘Huck’ is so much more serious.”

Becoming Mark Twain Twain’s own life reads like a rollicking tale of good fortune and perseverance fueled Grant Myers, by a unique talent. It was all cook, that, but it also was marked Lawrence by financial struggle (bad “‘Boyracer’ by Mark Cavbusiness decisions) and famendish and ‘The Road’ by ily tragedies and dark moods, Cormac McCarthy.

He came west with great in their own way.”

THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY of Mark Twain, shown here in a 1907 photograph by A. F. Bradley, is being released in three large volumes as scholars sort through and annotate Twain’s 5,000-page manuscript. his older brother, Orion, who had been appointed secretary of the Nevada Territory.

“Clemens worked for Orion in Carson City, then got bitten by the silver bug,” Hirst said. “He went off to strike it rich but ran out of money for supplies after 18 months. So he had to take a job.”

Clemens had been sending “letters” — wry and insightful essays — from the mining fields to a number of newspapers, including the Virginia City Enterprise. That progressive paper offered him a job and “permitted him to do anything he wanted,” Hirst said. “So one of his first columns was a hoax about the discovery of a ‘petrified man.’ Very soon after that he started writing essentially fiction, something you can’t call newspaper reporting.

“Then he started writing letters from Carson City and in 1863 adopted the Mark Twain pseudonym.”

Twain’s next stop was San Francisco, where he wrote for the Call newspaper and two literary magazines, the Californian and the Golden Era. “He didn’t do enough writing to make a living, so he sold some of his mining stock and lived off the proceeds,” Hirst said. “He’d never planned on making a career out of writing. You couldn’t have a literary career as a humorist.

‘Literature of a low order,’ as he called it. Throughout his life, humorists certainly were not taken as serious literary people.”

Soon, Twain talked the Enterprise into letting him

write a daily 2,000-word column from San Francisco.

“All the major papers in San Francisco ran those columns, as well as the smaller papers all over California and Nevada,” Hirst said. “They were some of the best things he ever wrote, but we don’t have more than 20 percent of them because (so many files) were destroyed.”

Going public and abroad By 1866, Hirst said, the San Francisco police were giving Twain “a hard time because he was criticizing them in print. That’s what led him to leave town. He contracted to write letters to the Sacramento Union from the Sandwich Islands. He was supposed to be there for just a few weeks, but he loved it and stayed five months.”

Twain returned to San Francisco and joined the literary lecture circuit “because he thought he could earn some extra money. He’d never spoken in public before, but he turned out to be enormously charming and funny, and was a great success.”

The Alta California newspaper gave him “an appointment” to travel wherever he wished and write letters back.

“That’s when he left California — in December 1866,” Hirst said. “He went to New York with his scrapbook of articles and got ‘The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County and Other Sketches’ published in 1867.

It didn’t sell well and he was very disappointed.”

Craig Thompson can build a comics page out of pretty much anything. In “Habibi” (Pantheon, $35), the writerartist of “Blankets” uses religious iconography, Arabic lettering and the patterns on carpets to pull together the gorgeous love/adventure story contained in this incredible, nearly 700-page volume.

It’s certainly possible to write a comic book that goes on too long, but “Habibi” belongs to that category of novel pioneered by Dickens and more recently explored by Stephen King that is so long you never want it to end.

An escaped 9-year-old Arab slave named Dodola rescues a black infant named Zam from certain death and raises him in a beached ship somewhere in the desert; from there, Thompson

strains to encompass everything about the Arab world, from its architecture to its mythology to the deepest mysteries of Islam. At times he overreaches, and at times he horrifies with the depths to which the maturing Zam will go to escape himself as he discovers a burgeoning attraction to the woman who raises him, but “Habibi,” miraculously, is even more than the sum of its considerable parts.

an endnote than as a statement of purpose. “Feynman” is deliberately messy, with a propensity to tell, rather than show, but the book is frequently saved by Leland Myrick’s beautiful line drawings.

It’s a crowded narrative, and yet, for all its verbosity, it feels sketchy. Ottaviani wants to introduce beginners to both particle physics and a very strange human being, and in his attempts to do both, neither subject gets the necessary attention. It’s hard to blame Ottaviani for the attempt — in Feynman you have a guy who worked on the Manhattan Project and had three dramatic marriages — but the resulting volume is a bit flat, and only the lovely drawings are flat in a good way.

Cartoon physics “Reading Feynman stories out of order is a great way to experience a life the way it is: messy, and without a discernible plot!” writes Jim Ottaviani in the bibliography at the end of “Feynman” (First Second, $29.99), a cartoon bio of the groundbreaking physicist.

WONDERFAIR , 803 1/2 MASS., is now in the hands of Paul DeGeorge and Meredith Moore.

Moore and DeGeorge kicked off their Wonder Fair reign with a concert event in the gallery space Thursday night featuring Kansas City pop act the ACBs, Portland, Ore., duo Kisikia and sad Seattlites Mega Bog. DeGeorge says he is going to make an effort at each of Wonder Fair’s music events to provide an additional element of fun. In this case, the show doubled as an ice cream social.

Using the Wonder Fair space for live music is something DeGeorge says he’d like to do more than the previous owners did. He thinks that a

do-it-yourself music space is something that is sorely lacking in Lawrence, noting that his band has played in some unconventional music venues in their time.

“I’ve made a living doing that, touring around the country and benefitting from those places,” DeGeorge says.

“I’d like to be able to provide that for other people.”

The new Wonder Fair owners hosted their first art exhibition on Friday. Titled “You + Me + You,” the exhibit featured the artwork of printmaker Yoonmi Nam and sculptor Eric Conrad.

Moore says that Conrad’s works, which feature bodies toppling and tangling into one another, tend to be a bit creepy while Nam’s prints are quietly haunting. Overall, the exhibition may have a strange ambience.

“You feel like you’ve come upon a situation that has gone awry, and at any moment you could be found out and made to blame for it,” Moore says.

Though no longer involved with Wonder Fair, the four previous members will continue to be active in the area arts scene. Lee Piechocki will continue to produce

work out of Kansas City, Jason Barr will be busy with his blog and A.D.D. podcasts and Dobbins and Kelly John Clark are starting a new publishing company, Field Trip Publishing. With their new company, Dobbins and Clark will collaborate with Kansas City-area artists to create limited runs of products based on their artwork.

So even though Dobbins’ time at Wonder Fair is over, he’ll still be around, and he’ll be busy.

“I am and will continue to be a happy contributor to the area art scene,” Dobbins says.

Discover your inner papercraft artist

AN ONGOING EXHIBIT has opened at the 1109 Gallery called “Self-Examination,” a breast cancer awareness project, for which artists have donated more than 20 busts, the proceeds of which will go toward cancer research.

‘Self-Examination’ exhibit much more than a fundraiser

By Sarah Henning sarah@lawrence.com

When Connie Ehrlich was diagnosed with breast cancer, first came the shock. No one in her family had breast cancer. She was only in her mid-40s. She was otherwise healthy. How could it be that she had cancer?

But there it was, straight from a nurse’s lips, at closing time before the long July 4 weekend: stage 2 ductal carcinoma in-situ, high grade.

Once the shock had settled in and the treatment plan ensued, Ehrlich leaned on her family, friends and her art. A longtime painter, Ehrlich found herself using brush strokes to express feelings she couldn’t get out in words alone.

“I kept notes and stuff and I kind of used those and just ... the feelings just poured out of me,” says the Lawrence artist, who worked on paintings and monoprints during the time. “The paintings are more moody, kind of mysterious pieces. But the monoprints are more defined on having cancer.”

Now, Ehrlich and her art of expression are featured in “Self-Examination” an exhibit that opened Tuesday at The Lawrence Art Guild’s space, 1109 Gallery, 1109 Mass. Ehrlich spoke during a reception held in conjunction with September’s Final Fri-

Want a challenge?

Most people are familiar with folded paper origami cranes or napkin swans. Some paper folders have graduated to folding elephants, crabs or geometric shapes Then there are true papercraft artists whose creations are above and beyond a hobbyist’s skill. In this case, you have Yee. “Origami Architecture” is for anyone who aspires to be the type of artist who is meticulous, exacting and fascinated by complexity. A budding architect would find hours of work putting together even one of icons of world architecture in this book.

Readers might also want to keep a ready supply of Bandaids and iodine close at hand just in case the blade slips.

Hong Kong-born artist Sheung Yee Shing, or Yee, says he started folding paper as a poor boy. He cut out designs and designed new ones.

Later, he graduated to making toys and other designs

out of paper. Now he sells his masterful creations and their plans from his website, Yee’s Job, out of Canada.

These are highly detailed architectural creations, including the White House (32 pieces), Westminster Abbey (37 pieces), the Eiffel Tower (71 pieces), and Malaysia’s Petronas Towers (46 pieces.)

You go around the world in this book.

The book and CD include plans for 16 well-known buildings that will challenge any creative artist.

Using acid-free card stock, a ruler, cutting mat, hobby knife and, in some designs, glue, you can spend hours making them. Some are put together by just folding paper into notches. The book rates them from easy — the White House — to expert — the Palace of Westminster in England. The end result is dazzling.

Yee provides you with full instructions for his creations.

There are more than 900 photographs and a CD-Rom with the templates necessary to create them.

— ANNOUNCING —

“NIGHT MOVES” by Linda Baranski is part of the “Self-Examination” exhibit at the 1109 Gallery. days festivities on Sept. 30.

Ehrlich’s works are featured in the garage gallery, while the rest of the gallery is filled with thoughts and impressions by more than 30 artists.

“Self-Examination” runs through October — National Breast Cancer Awareness Month — and beyond, ending Nov. 20.

Linda Baranski, director of the gallery, says the works are moving, personal and educational — and sure to help those in need in the same way that other fundraising shows have in the past at the gallery.

“We try to do a couple of shows a year that help other organizations in the community,” says Baranski, noting the gallery has raised funds and exposure for the Lawrence Humane Soci-

ety and the Douglas County AIDS Project. “We decided this year we wanted to do something for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.”

Baranski approached Ehrlich, who was working on the pieces at the time, and the two cooked up the exhibit so that it might have a benefit angle.

With the show finally up, Ehrlich, who will be a year in remission in December, says that she’s thrilled for the opportunity to share work that she knows will resonate with anyone touched by cancer.

“It was a shock, but it helped to inspire my art,” Ehrlich says. “I don’t look at it as a blessing, but as something you live through and learn from, if you can.”

Autumn’s rich palette

Richard Gwin/Journal-World Photos

JENNIFER SMITH of the Douglas County Extension Service collects some vitex flowers from the demonstration garden at the extension office, 2110 Harper St. Fall colors are not limited to yellows, oranges and browns; several plants can add a bright splash of purple to your garden.

Late bloomers extend garden color though fall season Fall is a great time to add new plants to the garden, and it is an even better time to pick out plants to add seasons of color to the garden.

Why? Some flowers and shrubs, like vitex, wait until fall to flaunt their real beauty.

Vitex agnus-castus, also known as chaste tree, lilac chaste tree, and chaste berry, is a large shrub commonly found in regions south of northeast Kansas. Vitex’s large light-purple spikes of blossoms somewhat resemble a lilac or a butterfly bush.

Most importantly, vitex is blooming in full force now, in October, when most plants are fading for the dormant season.

Although vitex is generally listed as being hardy to USDA hardiness zone 6, its roots survived even last winter’s low temperatures in our area. Since the plant easily puts on five to six feet of growth in a single season, vitex can really be thought of as a large perennial. Just cut it back in the spring and let it fill in around summer-bloom-

ing plants before it begins to show its color in August.

Like many native southern species, vitex thrives in hot, dry weather and should be planted in a well-drained location that receives at least six hours of sun per day. Leave it room to grow over the summer. One word of caution – vitex leaves bear a striking resemblance to those of the marijuana plant and may confuse your neighbors. Leaf shape and arrangement are the only things vitex and marijuana have in common, though.

Another plant that often gets overlooked in spring trips to the garden center is

BUSH CLOVER, LEFT, AND BEAUTYBERRY create a burst of color at the Douglas County Extension Service demonstration garden. bush clover, or Lespedeza thunbergii. Bush clover is also somewhat of a giant perennial, reaching six feet or so in a single season but dying back to the ground most winters. By early August, bush clover’s stems are loaded with soft, rosy-purple blossoms. The plant’s graceful arching habit softens the garden while the blossoms perfume the air with a light but sweet fragrance.

Bush clover prefers welldrained soil but will tolerate

a few hours of shade. The plant has a lesser-liked but better-known cousin, Sericea lespedeza, but bush clover rarely reseeds and is not considered invasive like the Sericea.

My third favorite selection for fall color is Beautyberry, Callicarpa americana. Beautyberry actually bloomed its little heart out back in July, and even I paid it little attention at the time. The fruit of beautyberry is the real attraction — iridescent deep purple

pearls, clustered up and down each stem near the leaf axils.

Late afternoon sun and a light fall breeze makes the plant shimmer from a distance.

Beautyberry grows in almost any combination of light and moisture but produces the most fruit when grown in full sun. The shrub is native to Missouri, Oklahoma, and much of the southeast United States. Over time, beautyberry can grow to six to eight feet tall and wide, but can be pruned to maintain a smaller size. A close relative, Callicarpa dichotoma (also called beautyberry), is smaller and therefore more commonly used in the landscape, although it may produce less fruit.

Birds and other wildlife will eat the beautyberry fruit over the course of the winter.

A final favorite for fall color is the crape (crepe) myrtle.

In the south, crape myrtle is a small tree, but in Kansas, the plant often dies back partially in winter. The dieback allows most varieties of crape myrtle to easily be maintained as

small- to moderately-sized shrubs. One variety in particular, ‘Velma’s Royal Delight’ was introduced by Kansas State University and typically reaches three to five feet in height and width. ‘Velma’s Royal Delight’ puts on a brilliant display of magenta flowers from August to frost.

‘Hopi’ is another variety of crape myrtles commonly recommended for our region, with rosy-pink flowers and an end-of-summer height of six to eight feet. Crape myrtles generally have a narrow growth habit.

A number of other crape myrtles are available and suitable for our region, with colors ranging from shades of pink, purple, and red to bright white.

Now I just have to find a space in my garden for great fall color.

Kovel’s Antiques: Attractive medical urns held squirmy contents

By Terry Kovel Antiques sometimes remind us that Grandma’s home remedies are still the best. In 2004 the Food and Drug Administration approved the use of leeches by doctors. Beginning in 200 B.C., medical doctors used leeches to cure a fever. They thought the red color of the face and the fever was caused by too much blood. There are several types of leeches found in the wild, but they have fewer and fewer places to breed. Leeches look like large worms — some grow to be 8 inches long. They feed on blood. Many campers have gone swimming and find bloody leeches clinging

to their legs when they get out of the water. The leech bite injects an anticoagulant so the blood flows more freely. In the 18th and 19th centuries, leeches were kept at the apothecary shop in attractive pottery urns with lids.

The use of leeches was very popular in the 1860s, then lost favor. But now the animals are used to help heal skin grafts, to treat blocked veins and to aid in surgeries that require the removal of pooled blood under the skin.

Today you can buy medical leeches for about $8 each, but they cannot be returned.

Antique leech jars cost much more.

Q: I inherited my grandmother’s Victorian upright piano. She was born in 1902.

I remember her telling me that her father brought the piano up the driveway on his horse-drawn wagon when she was 13 or 14 years old. Inside the piano it says “A.M. McPhail Piano Co.” and it’s stamped with the number 21072. Can give me any information?

A: The A.M. McPhail Piano Co. was founded in Boston by Andrew M. McPhail in 1837.

The serial number inside your piano indicates that it was made in 1897. The trade name was bought by Kohler & Campbell in about 1891 and pianos with the McPhail

name were made until the late 1950s. People who want to buy a piano look for an instrument in good, playable condition. The age of the piano may be a drawback, but some people want an upright because it takes up less space or because they want to decorate their home with Victorian furniture.

Q: I have a red Sunken Hollyhock pattern “Gone With the Wind” lamp that my husband’s grandmother received as a wedding gift sometime before 1911. I have read that it’s rarely found in this color. The glass has a quilted flower pattern and the lamp has brass fittings marked “Success.” It’s 25

inches tall. Do you know how much it’s worth?

A: Your lamp may have been designed by Nicholas Kopp of the Pittsburgh Lamp, Brass and Glass Co., which fitted most of the lamps it manufactured with its own “Success” brand burners. The Sunken Hollyhock lamp is usually found in a yellow-orange color called marigold. A red lamp like yours sold at auction for $708 in 2010.

Tip: Try this to remove stains from inside a glass decanter. Put warm water, 1/2 teaspoon of liquid detergent and some uncooked rice grains into the decanter.

Shake well, then rinse.

Relatives behave badly around children Dear Annie: I’ve been married for 17 years and have four children. My husband has four much younger brothers, all married. Nine months ago, two of them had a falling out after a night of drinking and fighting. One ordered us to choose between them, and when we refused, they cut off all ties.

The problem is that this brother-in-law and his wife were closely involved in my children’s lives, coming to birthday parties, holiday meals and having the kids for sleepovers. My brother-inlaw in particular developed a bond with my only son, who became quite attached to him.

This is the second time this couple has rejected my children because they are angry with us. The first time it happened, I forgave them and let them resume the relationship, but this time I’m not so sure I should. I worry it is damaging to my children to have these relatives in and out of their lives.

Am I out of line stating that there will be no reconciliation, and to refuse any future relationship? I do not foresee them trying to be friendly again, but my mother-in-law hopes for an eventual reunion. My husband and I are in agreement that they will not be allowed

Dear Annie: I am 50 and have been divorced for 13 years. My previous two spouses were abusive and unfaithful, but I am now happily engaged to a great guy.

Friends and relatives are delighted for us, and we are planning on having a small chapel service and a family dinner to celebrate.

The issue is my brother’s disparaging comments about having a ceremony for a “third wedding.” How anniesmailbox@comcast.net do I respond to that? I am around our children again. inclined to invite him only Am I wrong? — Totally Dis- to the dinner. Would that gusted be stooping to his level? —

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

Dear Disgusted: Not wrong, but perhaps not the best approach, either. You cannot protect your children from every bad relationship they are going to encounter, and it’s good to teach them how to adjust to people who are unreliable. Not all relatives need to be close. Treat these in-laws as you would family members who live out of state and rarely visit. Be friendly, but from a distance.

Attend family gatherings where they will be present, but eliminate the sleepovers.

Include them in family events, but don’t encourage your children to spend extra time with them. Even a bad experience is an opportunity to learn.

‘Homeland’ a masterpiece of suspense

Among the best new grown-up dramas of the fall season, “Homeland” (9 p.m., Showtime) features a great cast and addictive story. Claire Danes (“Temple Grandin”) stars as obsessive CIA agent Carrie Mathison. She’s convinced that Nick Brody (Damian Lewis, “Band of Brothers”), a recently liberated American POW who had been missing in Iraq since 2003, has been “turned” by his captors and represents a security threat. This runs counter to the agency’s opinion (and well-orchestrated spin) that he is a hero rescued by their diligent efforts. ‘‘Homeland” keeps you guessing. Is Carrie right? Or unstable, desperate and confused? Is Nick a spy, or a man whose memory and identity have been permanently traumatized?

“Homeland” nicely blends this “Manchurian Candidate” theme with a subplot not unlike “Cast Away.”

In Nick’s long absence, his wife, Jessica (Morena Baccarin, “V’’), has been carrying on a steamy romance with his best pal and fellow Marine. His children barely know him. This domestic tension and marital discord echo Carrie’s creepy surveillance of her prey.

This is a show where nobody can trust anybody else and where the smallest gesture and unanswered phone call can take on great import.

Documentary filmmaker Ken Burns chose a great subject for his new effort.

“Prohibition” (7 p.m., PBS) takes on a 20th-century “experiment” with deep roots in the 19th century and resonant lessons for the 21st. Airing nightly through Tuesday, “Prohibition” devotes Sunday’s episode to the efforts to ban alcohol, a crusade born in the pulpit in the first half of the 1800s, when distilled grains replaced fermented cider. The exponential increase in liquor’s potency reduced many farmers and workingmen to helpless inebriates and left their wives and families brutalized and impoverished.

For many Christians and feminists, the issue of temperance was as important as the abolition of slavery.

“Prohibition” asks as many questions as it answers. How did this peculiar amendment come to pass? What are the limits of social engineering? How far can the government go in enforcing “good” behavior before it becomes dictatorial in nature, while at the same time hypocritical and ineffectual?

Endearing to many, infuriating to some (and endearing to others because he is infuriating), Andy Rooney will say goodbye to “60 Minutes” (6 p.m., CBS).

Tonight’s other highlights

The Baltimore Ravens host the New York Jets on “Sunday Night Football” (7 p.m., NBC).

Alicia bones up on English law on “The Good Wife” (8 p.m., CBS).

Gaby has spicy plans for Carlos on “Desperate Housewives” (8 p.m., ABC).

Margaret goes undercover to help Nucky in a time of crisis on “Boardwalk Empire” (8 p.m., HBO).

High school reunions can be murder on the season premiere of “Dexter” (8 p.m., Showtime).

Male escorts and murder don’t mix on “CSI: Miami” (9 p.m., CBS).

Rangoon calling on “Pan Am” (9 p.m., ABC).
