Lawrence residents across the city said they weren’t sure what they had felt, or even if they had felt anything at all. But the U.S. Geological Survey confirmed it detected a 5.6 magnitude earthquake at 10:53 p.m. centered near Oklahoma City. Locally, Lawrence police said early today that there were no reports of damage or requests for assistance. “I’ve been through a lot of things but never an earthquake,” McKenzie said.

MICHAEL TANNER PLAYS GUITAR from the floor of a one-room shack built on a trailer, which he lives and sleeps in that is attached to his van. Tanner says he was given the nickname “Mayor Mike” by members of the Lawrence homeless community for his efforts in building a “village” for homeless people near the river in east Lawrence in 2008 that was eventually bulldozed by the city.

Michael Tanner, 52, has spent years trying to live rent-free in Lawrence, and he seems to have finally found the answer. Tanner lives in a 16-by-8-foot wooden structure — built on a trailer attached to a van — that he moves around the downtown area just often enough to avoid violating any city parking ordinances. Inside the structure, which he simply calls a “shack,” Tanner shows off his shelving, collection of guitars and sleeping area.

“I feel a great sense of accomplishment,” said Tanner about his craftsmanship. “It’s a good, solid structure.” Tanner said he likes being selfreliant, and since being evicted

from an apartment in 2007, has eschewed homeless shelters. After being kicked out of a wooded area along the Kansas River by city

As members of a consolidation working group continue working on a proposal for combining, expanding or even building new schools — an effort they acknowledge will only become both emotional and divisive in the weeks ahead — a team of experts is compiling numbers behind the scenes to build a data-filled foundation for deliberations. RSP & Associates, an educational planning firm based in the Kansas City area, will deliver its initial reports Monday to members of the Central and East Lawrence Elementary School Consolidation Working Group. The data will indicate where students live, what economic issues they face, what programs they require, and then project how such information may change in the years ahead. By separating the district into focused sectors — including some 256 geographical “catchments,” such as neighborhoods, subdivisions, apartment complexes or other sites — RSP officials plan to give elected officials and their appointed advisers enough information to see the big picture in terms of the Lawrence school district’s future. “We’re using the latest data that’s available in the community to help guide decisions based on parameters that this community’s using to decide about consolidation,” said Robert Schwarz, CEO of RSP & Associates. “The answers will be evident in the data.” But likely not yet. The data going to members of the working group will be in a basic form: numbers, dots on

he was interested in getting a leg up on other potential candidates in his desired job field in international economics. Though in some states, like nearby Missouri, programs with small amounts of degree participants have been targeted for potential cuts, McCarville said he didn’t see a language like Uighur as a potential area of savings for KU. “Even if it is just two students” in the class, he said, “you’ve got two students with very unusual skills for a very low cost.” He was also drawn to the language because it’s spoken by a group of people who don’t necessarily wield a lot of political power. “You have to know how to speak with and understand the everyday person,” he said. “Not the person who’s running the country.” Many of the languages taught are in demand from the federal government, said Leslie vonHolten, outreach coordinator for KU’s Center for Global and International Studies. She pointed to a BBC article that reported on six Chinese Uighur prisoners who were detained in Guantanamo Bay. Many of the languages are difficult to find taught in other universities, too, she said. Yakup, the Uighur instructor at KU, said she thought the only other university to offer Uighur in the United States was the University of Indiana.

The Lawrence school board has asked members to recommend a plan for closing either two or three of six schools — Cordley, Hillcrest, Kennedy, New York, Pinckney and Sunset Hill — through consolidation within the next two to three years. Members of the working group need specific data, said Rick Doll, district superintendent.

The Ermal Garinger center also sponsored a “language buffet” this year for students interested in various languages. Students visited teachers of the many offerings — everything from Korean to Wolof — who gave five-minute presentations that showed off their language and culture. The center also maintains a website at languages.ku.edu that has information on all the languages offered at KU. Taking an esoteric foreign language can pay off, too, for students. KU receives Title VI funding from the federal government’s Department of Education for scholarships for students taking languages that are in demand for reasons like national security. Undergraduates can earn a one-year fellowship that pays $10,000 for tuition and $5,000 in living expenses, and graduate students can have their entire tuition paid for and receive a $15,000 stipend for living expenses. “This is a place where KU is grouped with universities like Harvard, Michigan, Berkeley and Indiana,” Herron said.

Wiles made his 11-by-7-foot mobile home, which is also a wooden structure pulled by his van. Wiles said he’s on his third such home; his first was washed away in a flood in Iowa in 2010. While Tanner seems to relish the freedom his mobile home gives him, Wiles’ reasons focus more on money. Wiles said he always wanted to build his own home on property in the country. The problem? He couldn’t afford it. “This is a lot cheaper,” said Wiles, a veteran who subsists on a monthly disability payment. They’ve both figured out ways to legally park their mobile homes downtown. “I spend a lot of time at City Hall,” said Tanner of reading zoning maps and city codes. In nonresidentially zoned areas of Lawrence, such as a strip of parking on Massachusetts Street in front of South Park, people are allowed to park large vehicles — defined as a vehicle more than 20 feet long and 8 feet tall — for 48 hours at a time. Tanner parks somewhere for a day, then moves to another spot in a nonresidential area. Wiles, meanwhile, pays the

For now, the trailer is Tanner’s home, and he scoffs at people who call him homeless. “I’m offended when the court addresses me as transient,” said Tanner, a street musician, who on a recent weekday was at the Douglas County Courthouse fighting a noise complaint.

are down, increasing the chances of fish kills caused by heat and oxygen depletion. Lang said one incentive for landowners is they can get those fish replaced by participating in the lease program. “Buying fish is expensive,” he said. Lang said the state is also seeking to increase access points along the Arkansas, Kansas and Missouri rivers. While the rivers are public and navigable, the public needs locations to put in their boats, canoes or kayaks to go downstream. Other streams, such as the Neosho River, aren’t navigable and are part of the 9,800 miles of streams that require more access. Lang said the agency has to lease the entire length of the stream to allow public access for fishing or boating. A map is published annually with the public access points and participating ponds.

Preparing veterans for ‘a new kind of battle’ 1 | NIGERIA

At least 69 killed in sect attacks Residents fearfully left their homes Saturday to bury their dead in northeast Nigeria following a series of coordinated attacks that killed at least 69 people and left a new police headquarters in ruins, government offices burned and symbols of state power destroyed. A radical Muslim sect known locally as Boko Haram claimed responsibility for the attacks in Borno and Yobe states, with the worst damage done in and around the city of Damaturu. The group also promised to continue its bloody sectarian fight against Nigeria’s weak central government, with residents nervously moving through empty streets, waiting for the next attack. In Damaturu, the capital of Yobe state, a car bomb exploded Friday afternoon outside a three-story building used as a military office and barracks, killing many uniformed security agents, Bulama said. Gunmen then went through the town, blowing up a bank and attacking at least three police stations and five churches, leaving them in rubble, officials said. 2 | MARYLAND

An American writer who went missing in Libya for months returned to the United States on Saturday night, telling reporters he went to the Middle Eastern nation to participate in the uprising against dictator Moammar Gadhafi and was on a reconnaissance mission when he was captured. Matthew VanDyke was met by dozens of friends and relatives and members of the media when he arrived at Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport. Earlier this year, the 32-year-old VanDyke was working in Baltimore on a book and film about a motorcycle trip across the Middle East and southeast Asia when he decided to witness the uprising in Libya. He disappeared during a day trip to Brega in March and wasn’t heard from until he was freed from the infamous Abu Salim prison in Tripoli in August. After he was freed, VanDyke said he’d remain in Libya until Gadhafi fell from power and he later joined rebel fighters. 3 | GREECE

Premier struggles to end deadlock Greece’s prime minister struggled Saturday to form a temporary coalition government in the nearbankrupt country, extending a political deadlock threatening billions in international rescue funds. In an impassioned plea to parliament late Friday, George Papandreou agreed to step aside as premier if necessary to help hammer out a coalition, offering to include the conservative opposition party — a possibility swiftly rejected by its leader. Papandreou said a new coalition government would need four months to secure the new 130 billion euro, or $179 billion, rescue agreement and demonstrate the country’s commitment to remaining in the eurozone. “Cooperation is necessary to guarantee — for Greece and for our partners — that we can honor our commitments,” Papandreou said at a meeting Saturday with President Karolos Papoulias, hours after his Socialist government narrowly survived a confidence vote. 4 | TEXAS

Cain won’t address harassment claims Republican presidential contender Herman Cain on Saturday vowed to answer no more questions about decade-old sexual harassment allegations and blamed journalists for the claims that have dogged his campaign. Growing agitated with reporters after a one-onone debate with rival Newt Gingrich, the former business executive suggested the reporters who asked questions about the allegations were unethical. Asked if he planned to never answer questions about the incidents, he was certain. “You got it,” he snapped, even as the allegations leave plenty of doubts about Cain’s candidacy. A lawyer for one of Cain’s accusers said Friday that his client had filed a complaint “in good faith” against Cain in the 1990s for “several instances of sexual harassment” and had received a financial settlement.

A NONPROFIT GROUP IN LAWRENCE AIMED AT HELPING VETERANS AND THEIR FAMILIES navigate through the benefit process started up in late 2009 and is hoping to ramp up fundraising efforts. Three of the officers that lead the group are, from left, Virginia A. Girard-Brady, Rod Ratzlaff and Preston Girard.

Nonprofit provides benefit guidance for post-military life By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

In their work during more than a decade representing and helping veterans across the country in disability-benefits cases, Virginia GirardBrady, Preston Girard and Rod Ratzlaff noticed some things slipping through the cracks. Often as they seek a resolution in a benefits case, veterans need help with certain day-to-day expenses. Or when they return, veterans and their families have trouble navigating the Veterans Affairs system to find out just what assistance is available to them. “We realized there were a lot of unmet needs and services, especially in educating

veterans and some social services benefits,” said Girard, a veterans claims agent who has assisted his sister, owner of her law practice, ABS Legal Advocates, in Lawrence. In late 2009, they, along with Ratzlaff, the practice’s manager, founded a nonprofit organization, The Alliance for Veterans and their Families Inc., to try to branch out and help veterans in more areas. “There have always been a lot of issues that we’ve seen that we really couldn’t do a lot about as a private law firm,” said Girard-Brady, who started the law firm in 2000. Now they are hoping to ramp up fundraising and services for the nonprofit, known as Kansas AVF, with an emphasis on helping veterans and their families in Douglas

County and some of the surrounding area. Girard, who is the AVF’s board president, said there will be a major push to notify veterans through seminars about what benefits are available to them and how they can go about obtaining them. The seminars will also focus on career and financial planning. Nationally the unemployment rate for veterans is typically a couple of points higher than current national rate of 9 percent. “Our most valuable contribution would be to get them this information in a way that would be meaningful for them and make a difference for them,” he said. “Our goal is to help veterans and their Please see NONPROFIT, page 4A

Open records expert argues closing such files to public may allow secrecy, abuse By Shaun Hittle sdhittle@ljworld.com

So far this year, the Lawrence Police Department has handled 19 complaints against officers — 12 of which have been sustained, according to Lawrence Police Chief Tarik Khatib. But more specific details about those cases and how the department handled disciplinary action will not be provided, Khatib said. A similar Khatib request in 2010 asking for the full reports of the investigations was denied by Lawrence police, citing personnel exemptions in the Kansas Open Records law. Khatib provided brief case summaries for the 19 complaints investigated by the department this year. The cases included a variety of complaints, such as officers failing to file reports, officers being rude or using inappropriate language during encounters and officers failing to follow traffic rules when on bike patrol. Only one complaint alleged an officer physically assaulted a citizen, and the officer was “exonerated” during the investigation. Complaints are reviewed twice a year by city commissioners, and Khatib said he thinks the current procedure — and keeping the reports private — is the right call. Khatib said that if the full reports were made public, it would hamper openness during the investigation and complaint process. “I think the focus within the organization would turn to ‘not getting caught,’ or ‘don’t make any mistakes,’ rather than recognition that mistakes will happen, be honest and up-front with what one did, and the situation will be handled appropriately,” Khatib said.

who maintain such records shouldn’t be made public, are essentially telling the public to “trust us.” But without proof, and the full disclosure, there’s a possibility of secrecy and abuse, Davis said. “We are at their mercy,” Davis said. Such records “go to the heart of police conduct,” and therefore should be open, he said. Whether the reports about police complaints are open records has been a debated issue across the country. The Lawrence Police Department contends that the records, which it classifies as internal affairs records, are personnel records. In Kansas, such records fall in the discretionary area of the Kansas Open Records Act, which means they’re not records required to be released, but agencies are also not prohibited by law from releasing them. In at least one state, New Mexico, the legal battle between whether such records should be public has filtered up to a state’s Supreme

Court. In a 2011 case, the New Mexico State Supreme Court ruled that the records are public, ordering the New Mexico Department of Public Safety to release such records. Davis said he’s optimistic that as more of the legal disputes over the records are settled, the standard will eventually become opening the records to the public. Complaints against the Lawrence Police Department have declined in recent years, while the percentage of substantiated complaints has increased. Between 2005 and 2009, complaints averaged 31 per year, with a substantiation rate of 27 percent. Since 2010, there have been 29 complaints, and of the 26 where the investigation has been completed, 19, or 73 percent, have been substantiated. Citizens can make formal complaints against officers or the department in a variety of ways, such as in person or on the department’s website at police.lawrenceks.org.

families adjust and prosper in post-military life.” He said that with more and more younger veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, the VA will likely be dealing with thousands of new cases of post-traumatic stress disorder and other medical and psychological issues, and the AVF also wants help connecting veterans and their families with affordable counseling and medical assistance available to them. “It’s going to be tough,” Girard said. “We’re all going to have to step up.” Another major goal is to establish an emergency fund to help certain veterans with needs such as stable housing, rent and utilities costs and transportation needs, GirardBrady said. They have established the Don Brim Emergency Relief Fund, named after one of their clients, a Vietnam veteran who was homeless for 10 years during a fight to obtain benefits. Brim was awarded full benefits in 2006 but died in 2009 from cancer. Now Girard said they want the emergency relief fund to be available to help veterans in similar situations, and AVF leaders also want to be able to help steer veterans to other social service agencies in Lawrence and Douglas County that can help them. They also have established a scholarship fund that would benefit veterans who need money to supplement their GI Bill funds. The funds will be featured at a fundraiser open to the public at 5 p.m. today at Abe

and Jake’s Landing, 8 E. Sixth St. Several bands will perform, including Big Brutus, which includes three Army National Guard members who served in Iraq. “It’s creating awareness that this type of group is here in Lawrence, serving the needs immediately of more local veterans,” said Aaron Hale, a band member and AVF board member who was in a convoy that was attacked in Iraq. Girard said there’s a $5 suggestion donation for the event. More information is also

available at avfinc.org or at the Alliance for Veterans and Their Families Facebook page. The AVF is also seeking grant funds, and the law firm provides in-kind donations of office space and equipment. Girard said the organization wants to work to fill gaps for veterans and their families in any way they can. “Often they come back from battle,” he said, “and then they have a new kind of battle.” — Reporter George Diepenbrock can be reached at 832-7144.

BEYOND THE LOUSY LOANS Yes, it’s true, many lenders in recent years have written sub-prime mortgages that could only be expected to default. However, foreclosure is nothing new, and there are myriad reasons that a homeowner might be facing dire straits.

there is help available, with a “short sale” being the last resort for resolution. Such a transaction is called “short” because the home is sold for less than the amount remaining on the mortgage, and the lender willingly accepts some of the loss.

Challenges might include economic hardship due to job loss, bad health or divorce, or payments that jumped too high after a rate adjustment, or simply increased cost of living outpacing income.

If you’re facing foreclosure, contact your lender’s loss mitigation department immediately. While you are in the midst of negotiation, keep a log of all phone calls - the date, time, contact person and discussion. Lenders are overwhelmed right Whatever the reasons, the best way to now, so be patient and don’t expect an avoid foreclosure is to be well educated and immediate answer. prepared before making a home purchase, and anticipating worst-case scenarios before Whether it’s a loan adjustment or short choosing the loan that is right for you. sale, there is a solution to the problem.

BRIEFLY Hawker Beechcraft warns coming layoffs WICHITA — Wichita-based airplane maker Hawker Beechcraft Corp. has warned employees that it plans to issue layoff notices later this month. A letter from CEO Bill Boisture distributed Friday to employees did not disclose the number of layoffs, but said affected employees will be given a 60-day notice on Nov. 11. Spokeswoman Sarah Estes said in an email that the company is still assessing its needs but that the layoffs will affect all levels. Boisture’s letter cites Europe’s debt crisis, slowing growth in China and continued unrest in the Middle East

as well as a recessionary climate in the United States.

Salina man sentenced to 15 years for rape SALINA — A 28-year-old Salina man has been sentenced to 15 years in prison after pleading no contest to charges accusing him of raping a 12-year-old girl.

Saline County District Court Judge Jerome Hellmer also ordered Taylor to register as a sex offender for life and be subject to lifetime post-release supervision.

USGS: 4.7, 5.6 temblors rattle Oklahoma ———

2 earthquakes strike state Saturday OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Authorities say a 5.6 magnitude earthquake has hit central Oklahoma, but they had no immediate reports of any injuries or major damages. The U.S. Geological Survey reported from Golden, Colo., on its website that it detected a 5.6 magnitude quake at 10:53 p.m. Saturday, centered about 44 miles eastnortheast of Oklahoma City. It had initially reported the temblor as a 5.2 magnitude quake. Michelann Ooten, a spokeswoman for the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management, also confirmed a quake on the scale of 5 was recorded. Ooten said no injuries were reported to emergency management officials and she had no reports of major damage. It came on a day a series of quakes rattled the state, including a 4.7 magnitude quake early Saturday. In central Oklahoma, it knocked pictures off walls and woke people and pets as it shook an area that stretched into Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri and Texas. The U.S. Geological Survey said on its website Saturday that a 4.7 magnitude earthquake struck at 2:12 a.m. Saturday, with an epicenter about six miles north of Prague in Lincoln County. That’s about 50 miles east of Oklahoma City and 75 miles southwest of Tulsa. A 3.4 magnitude aftershock was reported at 2:27 a.m. from the same location, as well as a 2.7 magnitude aftershock at 2:44 a.m. “Oh, man. I’ve never felt anything like that in my life,” Prague City Police Department dispatcher Claudie Morton told the Tulsa World. “It was the scariest thing. I had a police officer just come in and sit down and all the sudden the walls started shaking and the windows were rattling. It felt like the roof was going to come off the police department.” Morton said the office was flooded with calls, but no one reported injuries or major damage. She said residents told her that picture frames and mirrors fell from walls and broke, drawers worked loose from dressers and objects tumbled out of cabinets. “We do have several damaged buildings downtown, but it’s just cracks and things like that,” Morton said. “Nothing is destroyed or anything like that.” Oklahoma Geological Survey researcher Austin Holland told Oklahoma City television station KOTV that the earthquake and aftershocks occurred on a known fault line. Residents in Prague and Sparks felt an intense shaking, while farther away, the quake was more of a dull rumble, he said. “It shakes much more rapidly when you’re closer to it,” he said. “Because it’s a large earthquake, it’s going to rumble for a while.” Holland said his office received hundreds of emails from people who felt the quake. The messages came from as far as Texas, Missouri and Arkansas, he said. Tom Foster of Oklahoma City told The Oklahoman that he slept through the earthquake but was awakened by an aftershock. “I know we’ve already had several phone calls from out of state relatives wondering what happened,” Foster said. “I guess it’s more interesting than anything that was dangerous.”

Occupy Lawrence protester arrested after climbing roof of Weaver’s By Alex Garrison acgarrison@ljworld.com

ONLINE: See the video at LJWorld.com

A man affiliated with the Occupy Lawrence group was arrested Saturday afternoon from atop the roof of Weaver’s Department Store, 901 Mass. The man, whom police identified as 24-year-old Sean Maupin, spent somewhere between a half-hour and an hour chanting slogans while wearing a Guy Fawkes mask. Police blocked traffic on Massachusetts Street from 10th to Ninth streets before officers in a ladder vehicle arrested the man on the roof and brought him down and into custody. Maupin was booked into the Douglas County Jail shortly after 1 p.m. on charges of criminal trespassing. Sgt. Ted Bordman later said that Maupin would also be charged with misdemeanor theft and criminal damage of property. Bordman said that police had found a large vinyl banner belonging to a local apartment complex on the Weaver’s roof that police believed Maupin stole and spray-painted with a political slogan. A large crowd of downtown passersby gathered at the intersection during the time Maupin was on the roof to “watch the spectacle,” as one man said to his young son.

AN OCCUPY LAWRENCE PROTESTER SIGNALS A PEACE SIGN to the crowd while being taken away by Lawrence police after he was removed from the roof of Weaver’s Department Store downtown during a rally Saturday. Jennifer Dillon Christensen, who has been involved with the group since its beginnings, said that members had begun collecting “bail money” and that they had planned to go to the Douglas County Jail later in the afternoon. Maupin was no longer in custody as of late Saturday afternoon, according to online records. Occupy Lawrence members said at their daily meeting in South Park that a representative paid Maupin’s $100 bail. Present at the meeting, Maupin said that he did not want to be interviewed but read the assembly a draft of a statement that he said he would later send to the Law-

rence Journal-World. When asked if he felt using public resources was effective for his cause, he said, “that’s what protesting is — civil disobedience.” Jason Phoenix, who has served as a media representative for the group for several weeks, said that many, if not all, of those affiliated did not know of Maupin’s plans to scale the building ahead of time. “Sean was making an action on his own,” he said. Maupin said his arraignment was scheduled for Nov. 22. — Reporter Alex Garrison can be reached at 832-7261. Follow her at Twitter.com/ alex_garrison.

Most unemployed people no longer receiving benefits By Christopher S. Rugaber Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The jobs crisis has left so many people out of work for so long that most of America’s unemployed are no longer receiving unemployment benefits. Early last year, 75 percent were receiving checks. The figure is now 48 percent — a shift that points to a growing crisis of long-term unemployment. Nearly one-third of America’s 14 million unemployed have had no job for a year or more. Congress is expected to decide by year’s end whether to continue providing emergency unemployment benefits for up to 99 weeks in the hardest-hit states. If the emergency benefits expire, the proportion of the unemployed receiving aid would fall further. The ranks of the poor would also rise. The Census Bureau says unemployment benefits kept 3.2 million people from slipping into poverty last year. It defines poverty as annual income below $22,314 for a family of four. Yet for a growing share of the unemployed, a vote in Congress to extend the benefits to 99 weeks is irrelevant. They’ve had no job for more than 99 weeks. They’re no

longer eligible for benefits. Their options include food stamps or other social programs. Nearly 46 million people received food stamps in August, a record total. That figure could grow as more people lose unemployment benefits. So could the government’s disability rolls. Applications for the disability insurance program have jumped about 50 percent since 2007. “There’s going to be increased hardship,” said Wayne Vroman, an economist at the Urban Institute. The number of unemployed has been roughly

stable this year. Yet the number receiving benefits has plunged 30 percent. Government unemployment benefits weren’t designed to sustain people for long stretches without work. They usually don’t have to. In the recoveries from the previous three recessions, the longest average duration of unemployment was 21 weeks, in July 1983. By contrast, in the wake of the Great Recession, the figure reached 41 weeks in September. That’s the longest on records dating to 1948. The figure is now 39 weeks. “It was a good safety net for a shorter recession,” said Carl Van Horn, an economist at Rutgers University. It assumes “the economy will experience short interruptions and then go back to normal.” Weekly unemployment checks average about $300 nationwide. If the extended benefits aren’t renewed, growth could slow by up to a half-percentage point next year, economists say. The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that each $1 spent on unemployment benefits generates up to $1.90 in economic growth. The CBO has found that the program is the most effective government policy for increasing growth among 11 options it’s analyzed.

Andy Rooney, ‘60 Minutes’ commentator, dies at 92 TODAY’S DEALS ANDY ROONEY, “60 MINUTES” COMMENTATOR, died Friday night, only a month after delivering his 1,097th and final televised commentary.

By David Bauder Associated Press

NEW YORK — Andy Rooney so dreaded the day he had to end his signature “60 Minutes” commentaries about life’s large and small absurdities that he kept going until he was 92 years old. Even then, he said he wasn’t retiring. Writers never retire. But his life after the end of “A Few Minutes With Andy Rooney” was short: He died Friday night, according to CBS, only a month after delivering his 1,097th and final televised commentary. Rooney had gone to the hospital for an undisclosed surgery, but major complications developed and he never recovered. “Andy always said he wanted to work until the day he died, and he managed to do it, save the last few weeks in the hospital,” said his “60 Minutes” colleague, correspondent Steve Kroft.

‘A knack’ Rooney talked on “60 Minutes” about what was in the news, and his opinions occasionally got him in trouble. But he was just as likely to discuss the old clothes in his closet, why air travel had become unpleasant and why banks needed to have important-sounding names. Rooney won one of his four Emmy Awards for a piece on whether there was a real Mrs. Smith who made Mrs. Smith’s Pies. As it turned out, there was no Mrs. Smith. “I obviously have a knack for getting on paper what a lot of people have thought and didn’t realize they thought,” Rooney once said. “And they say, ‘Hey, yeah!’ And they like that.” Looking for something new to punctuate its weekly broadcast, “60 Minutes” aired its first Rooney commentary on July 2, 1978. He complained about people who keep track of how many people die in car accidents on holiday weekends. In fact, he said, the Fourth of July is “one of the safest weekends

“

I obviously have a knack for getting on paper what a lot of people have thought and didn’t realize they thought.” — Andy Rooney of the year to be going someplace.” More than three decades later, he was railing about how unpleasant air travel had become. “Let’s make a statement to the airlines just to get their attention,” he said. “We’ll pick a week next year, and we’ll all agree not to go anywhere for seven days.” In early 2009, as he was about to turn 90, Rooney looked ahead to President Barack Obama’s upcoming inauguration with a look at past inaugurations. He told viewers that Calvin Coolidge’s 1925 swearing-in was the first to be broadcast on radio, adding, “That may have been the most interesting thing Coolidge ever did.” “Words cannot adequately express Andy’s contribution to the world of journalism and the impact he made — as a colleague and a friend — upon everybody at CBS,” said Leslie Moonves, CBS Corp. president and CEO. Jeff Fager, CBS News chairman and “60 Minutes” executive producer, said “it’s hard to imagine not having Andy around. He loved his life and he lived it on his own terms. We will miss him very much.” “60 Minutes” will end its broadcast today with a trib-

A life luckier than most For his final essay, Rooney said that he’d live a life luckier than most. “I wish I could do this forever. I can’t, though,” he said. He said he probably hadn’t said anything on “60 Minutes” that most of his viewers didn’t already know or hadn’t thought. “That’s what a writer does,” he said. “A writer’s job is to tell the truth.” True to his occasional crotchety nature, though, he complained about being famous or bothered by fans. His last wish from fans: If you see him in a restaurant, just let him eat his dinner. Rooney was a freelance writer in 1949 when he encountered CBS radio star Arthur Godfrey in an elevator and — with the bluntness millions of people learned about later — told him his show could use better writing. Godfrey hired him and by 1953, when he moved to TV, Rooney was his only writer. He wrote for CBS’ Garry Moore during the early 1960s before settling into a partnership with Harry Reasoner at CBS News. He became such a part of the culture that comic Joe Piscopo satirized Rooney’s squeaky voice with the refrain, “Did you ever ...” Rooney never started any of his essays that way. For many years, “60 Minutes” improbably was the most popular program on television and a dose of Rooney was what people came to expect for a knowing smile on the night before they had to go back to work.

‘Our’ blacks vs. ‘their’ blacks Trash service

PUBLIC FORUM

School funds The governor’s plan to significantly shift the responsibility for school funding to local taxpayers may be cause for concern.

he Kansas State Board of Education will get its first official look Tuesday at plans to revamp the state’s school finance formula. Indications are that board members — and local taxpayers across the state — may be concerned by what they see. Board members are scheduled to meet Tuesday with Landon Fulmer, Gov. Sam Brownback’s policy director, to talk about school finance. More details of the plan likely will be revealed at that meeting, but news reports based on interviews with Fulmer earlier this month offer a broad picture of what the administration is planning. The proposal will include setting a new baseline (presumably lower) for state aid, giving district block grants and letting counties vote on a special sales tax for education. The state cap on local option budgets funded by local property taxes would be eliminated. The state would continue to levy a 20-mill property tax for schools, and would put a portion of that money in a state account, from which it could be distributed to equalize funding for districts with low property valuations. Equalizing school funding for districts across the state was a key aspect of the current school finance formula, which was initiated in 1992. How well the new formula meets that goal will be of particular interest to the state courts, which seem likely to get involved in the school finance deliberations before all is said and done. Of particular interest to local taxpayers is what looks like a significant policy shift that will give far more school funding responsibility to local governments. In some districts that’s not all bad, but for others, it could be devastating. It all depends on how much local taxpayers are willing to add to their tax bills to offset the state funding that has been lost. The state’s proposal apparently will offer two ways to do that: Without a state cap, districts can raise local property taxes as much as they dare to cover their operating costs; or they can ask voters to approve a local sales tax to support public schools. Either way, local taxpayers will pay more. Most Kansas counties — as well as many of the major cities in those counties — already levy local sales taxes of up to 2.25 percent. However, there’s a vast difference in how much money is collected by those taxes. A sales tax for schools would work well for Johnson County, which received $105 million in receipts on its 1.225 percent sales tax last year — much of that money from shoppers who don’t live in the county. The story is much different in, for instance, Cheyenne County in northwest Kansas, which received just $510,000 in revenue from its 2 percent sales tax last year. Eight of the nine counties in Kansas that have local sales taxes of 2 percent or more, have populations less than 7,000 and no cities that attract significant retail traffic. Even with some state subsidies, how high would those counties have to raise their sales tax or property tax to provide adequately for their schools? Giving cities and counties more authority to raise money for schools allows communities that want and can afford to commit additional money to do so. However, it raises some real concerns about providing equal public education opportunities throughout the state and putting more pressure on local property and sales taxes, which fall disproportionately on lower-income residents. Reduced state funding has forced school districts across the state to make many difficult financial decisions in recent years. Now that state tax revenues are rising, it would be too bad to make any changes that would make the funding situation for public schools worse instead of better. LAWRENCE

Do you think it gives Clarence Thomas a warm, fuzzy feeling to know he is one of Ann Coulter’s blacks? That is how Coulter put it on Fox “News” while defending Herman Cain against sexual harassment charges that threatened to engulf his campaign last week. “Liberals,” she said, detest black conservatives, but the truth is, “our blacks are so much better than their blacks.” “Our” blacks? Really? Social conservative pundits tend to be astonishingly obtuse when discussing race, (See Exhibit A, above) so it is good they rarely do so. Last week was an unfortunate exception, as one of “their” blacks struggled to frame a coherent response to allegations that he harassed female colleagues in the 1990s when he headed the National Restaurant Association. Though accusations of sexual impropriety have beset a bipartisan Who’s Who of black and white politicians, the right wing came out in force to argue that people are only questioning Cain because he is a black conservative. This would be the same Cain who not so long ago said racism was no longer a significant obstacle for African-Americans. This would be the same right wing that is conspicuous by its silence, its hostility or its complicity when the injustice system imposes mass incarceration on young black men, when the number of hate groups in this country spikes to more than a thousand,

Leonard Pitts Jr.

Being not crazy, they understand a simple truth about conservatives: They have never stood with, or up for, black people. Never.”

when the black unemployment rate stands at twice the national average, when the president is called “uppity” and “boy.” But they scream in pious racial indignation when Cain is asked questions he doesn’t want to answer. A “high-tech lynching” said blogger Brent Bozell. “Racially stereotypical,” sniffed Rush Limbaugh. “I believe the answer is yes,” said Cain himself when asked on Fox if race was the cause of his woes, adding honestly, if hilariously, that he has no evidence whatsoever to back that up. If you didn’t know better, you’d think Cain was some hybrid of Emmett Till and Kunta Kinte. Nobody knows de trouble he’s seen. The candidate has spoken

of how he left the Democratic “plantation,” the implication being that more blacks should vote Republican. It would seem on the surface to make sense. As a 2008 Gallup Poll proved — and simple observation reiterates — AfricanAmericans tend to be as conservative as your average Republican on some key moral issues and are more religious than the average Republican, to boot. So why don’t blacks vote Republican? The answer is simple. Black people are not crazy. Being not crazy, they understand a simple truth about conservatives: They have never stood with, or up for, black people. Never. Forget modern controversies like mass incarceration. Social conservatives, then based largely in the Democratic Party of the early to mid 20th century, opposed the Voting Rights Act. They opposed the Civil Rights Act. They opposed school integration. They opposed the Montgomery Bus Boycott. They opposed a law to crack down on lynching. These are the people for whom African-Americans are now supposed to vote? To make the argument is to betray a stunning contempt for the intelligence — and memory — of black voters. In talking about race, conservatives have all the moral authority of a pimp talking about women’s rights. Granted, “their” blacks might disagree. — Leonard Pitts Jr. is a columnist for the Miami Herald. He chats with readers from noon to 1 p.m. CST each Wednesday on www.MiamiHerald.com.

To the editor: Last week a gentleman wrote to the newspaper that the city should just drop the task force on trash services and privatize because it would be cheaper. Be careful, you may get the cheap you want to pay for. Let’s look at what you get. A basic trash service with a required poly cart. If you call in that you set it out late or it supposedly got missed, they will be glad to come back and get it for $25. The Monday yard waste would be dropped. If you have items like stoves, refrigerators, washers, dryers, etc., they would charge $35 for each except the refrigerator. It would be $50. Oh yeah, if you want to recycle, you still have to have a separate cart and pay $5 for that service. Now let’s see how your services from the City of Lawrence are. Your basic service, you can use bag, can, cart, box, just about anything that will contain it and right now unlimited quantity. Now your white goods — you know, stoves, washer, dryer and refrigerator — NO CHARGE. Did you know you could put out five old tires to be picked up at NO CHARGE? I admit the brush policy is a pain, but you know what? If you package it right, you can cut down a whole tree and they will take it. The one thing you can count on with the Solid Waste Division of the City of Lawrence, is customer service. These people are friendly, caring and concerned workers. This is their city too. Joe Sharp, Lawrence

More trash talk To the editor: I join other seniors feeling the price of bins and extra bags is not needed or wanted. It’s pricey for those on a fixed income. We recycle at Walmart, Habitat for Humanity and the Salvation Army and we have a compost pile and use our shredder to make mulch. If we switch to this method, what do we do with our garbage cans? Are we supposed to haul our bins out to the curb? That should be a big draw to future senior residents. Has the city shopped around for the best deal on trash removal? It would be great if people could choose their own trash provider, since they are paying for it. Mary Ann Kieffer, Lawrence

Government’s role in economy “Seeing is believing” — right? According to Michael Shermer, author of “The Believing Brain,” that hoary bromide has it exactly wrong. Believing comes first. Then we seek information that confirms our beliefs and reject whatever might contradict them. Our brains are “belief engines,” writes Shermer. They search for patterns and endow them with meanings, simple truths to comfort us in a complex world. Hard times excite this side of our nature. We look for bogeymen to explain our economic woes — immigrants, Wall Street, the tea party, public service employees. “Greed” is evoked to explain the recent financial collapse. Why the sudden outbreak of one of the Seven Deadly Sins? No one knows. But some people find solace in this medieval hypothesis. We haven’t come that far from the days when natural catastrophes were interpreted as the wrath of the gods. If the Occupy Wall Street protesters had done their homework, they’d understand that Greed didn’t spring up spontaneously. It was fed by government policies that flooded the market with money at low interest rates, along with the implied promise that if the risky bets failed, government would cover the losses. It was like sending gamblers to Las Vegas with money-back guarantees. Government and Wall Street were bedfellows. If you’re looking for a bogeyman, you can’t give government a pass. The great debate of the moment is the proper size of government and its role in the economy. One side argues for higher taxes

George Gurley

And so it goes: Redistribution versus growth. Bailouts versus hair cuts. The power of the state versus the freedom of the individual.”

and more government spending, the other for smaller government, lower taxes and deregulation. According to one, government stimulus just saved us from another Great Depression. According to the other, it was misguided, wasteful and ineffective. And so it goes: Redistribution versus growth. Bailouts versus hair cuts. The power of the state versus the freedom of the individual. How can the assertions of either side be verified? How can we be certain which policies work and which don’t or what might have happened if other policies had been pursued? Not even time will tell for sure. The debate is passionate, facts are routinely manipulated and both sides claim to possess absolute truth. But economics is murky, the global market is infinitely complex and we are confronted with new demographic and technological re-

alities for which the panaceas of the past are of no use. Our plight ought to present an intriguing challenge for the President. But in spite of his vaunted intellect, he appears to have little interest in economics and is incapable of even considering ideas that haven’t been borrowed from the moth-eaten New Deal playbook. Instead of looking for ways to encourage the private sector, he projects hostility to business, threatens and demonizes “the rich.” Don’t expect the economy to improve as long as this attitude prevails. A few simple reforms could avert a repeat crisis and restore prosperity: higher capital requirements for banks, no mortgage loans without good credit and a substantial down payment, no government bailout if your bets turn sour, an end to corporate welfare and loopholes in the tax code. Instead, we get a 2,500-page financial reform bill in which bureaucrats split hairs over the definition of “loan.” In spite of Fannie Mae’s contribution to the financial meltdown, it’s still in business, backing loans on mansions. Cleansing the regulatory stables and reforming the tax code could stimulate economic recovery. But last year, the federal government added more than eighty thousand pages to its trove of regulations. Still, many people continue to put their faith in government and politicians to save us. Demons and witch doctors still haunt the earth as they did in primeval times. — George Gurley, a resident of rural Baldwin City, writes a regular column for the Journal-World.

From the University Health Committee: ‘The analysis of the sample taken October 28 indicated that river water was being used by the Lawrence Water Company. The chlorine was abnormally high, and this was confirmed by the examination made by the Bacteriological Department of the University. The bacterial count is very much higher than the normal and also indicates contamination by river water. Steps have been taken not only to prevent any further contamination of the water supply by the use of river water, but to install immediately a Hypochoride apparatus which will prevent injurious results from any water pumped after this time.” — Compiled by Sarah St. John

Order could keep cities connected DODGE CITY (AP) — A tentative federal order would allow Dodge City and Garden City to continue offering commercial flights. The Dodge City Globe reports that the U.S. Department of Transportation issued a “show cause” order selecting American Eagle Airlines to provide commercial flights between Garden City and Dallas. The order marks the latest chapter in a debate that began earlier this year, when Dodge City officials faced the possibility that Congress would cut funding for the Essential Air Service program, which subsidizes commercial flights in small communities. The order also tapped Great Lakes Airlines to offer flights from Dodge City, Great Bend, Hays and Liberal to Denver. People who oppose the order have until Wednesday to raise objections.

IOWA STATE 13, KANSAS 10

OH SO CLOSE

Kansas falls just short By Matt Tait

mtait@ljworld.com

AMES, IOWA — Through eight games this season, Kansas University’s football team had found just about every way imaginable to lose a game. Saturday, during a 13-10 loss to Iowa State in front of 51,575 fans at Jack Trice Stadium, the Jayhawks discovered another. Special teams. Two missed field goals and another off day from the Kansas offense led to KU’s seventhstraight loss and dropped the Jayhawks to 2-7 overall and 0-6 in Big 12 play. By now, talking after losses has become routine for the Jayhawks, who officially were eliminated from bowl contention Saturday. “A loss is a loss,” Kansas quarterback Jordan Webb said. “But, whenever you’re that close and you feel like it’s right in your grasp and you don’t go out there and get it, it definitely hurts. It hurts a lot.” There were positive elements to the Jayhawks’ latest letdown — perhaps more than any other loss this season. The defense played what Gill called its best game since he arrived at KU, and the running game, which had struggled mightily during the past 10 quarters, temporarily got back on track with 174 yards on 39 attempts, good for a 4.5-yard average. But the signs of life hardly mattered. When it counted most, the Jayhawks did not deliver. First came a failed attempt deep in Iowa State territory late

Narrow loss won’t change opinions of KU, Gill AMES, IOWA — The guys wearing KU ballcaps and blue coats, the coaches, wanted to win the game played Saturday in Jack Trice Stadium on the campus of Iowa State. So did the players wearing nameless jerseys and a “KU” on their helmets. They were disappointed when it didn’t happen, when the Cyclones scored a 13-10 victory against a Kansas University football team that has lost seven in a row.

Kansas women add to arsenal for PSU By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Kansas University’s women’s basketball lineup could be a little more lethal in its second exhibition game. The Jayhawks had no problem disposing of Emporia State in its 2011-12 preseason debut Wednesday, but they did have a key piece missing. Conspicuous by her absence in an 83-61 victory was sophomore guard Keena Mays, who averaged 12 points and four rebounds and started 13 games during her freshman season. KU coach Bonnie Henrickson summed up Mays’ unavailability after the ESU win by saying the sophomore guard needed to

VANQUISHED

“compete every day” at practice, and when Mays does that it makes Kansas a better team. The coach said Friday that Mays should be back in the lineup today when the Jayhawks play host to Pittsburg State at 2 p.m. at Allen Fieldhouse. Henrickson said she made her expectations clear to Mays, and she wasn’t punishing the 5-foot-7 guard for mistakes as much as she was sending a message that every player on the team has to practice with a competitive edge if the team is going to accomplish anything worthwhile in Mike Yoder/Journal-World Photo the Big 12 this season. “You must compete every VERITAS RUNNING BACK PRESTON RANDALL night in this league,” Henrick- (44) runs in a touchdown in the second quarter against St. Mary’s.

have left the majority of the fan base already checking out on the Turner Gill Era and investing emotions in the search for the next football coach. When will it happen? Who will it be? Which winning coach who lost his job for alleged mistreatment of a player is the favorite? Is it Mike Leach, the offensive genius, or Jim Leavitt, the defensive disciplinarian? KU athletic director Sheahon Zenger knows both men well. After Saturday’s loss, Gill

answered questions of another sort in a room probably about the size of the one Adam James was sent to by Leach during a Texas Tech practice. The questions sent Gill’s way centered on a pair of fourthdown decisions he made. The first came midway through the third quarter. After Jordan Webb lost a yard on third-andgoal from the one, Gill decided to let Ron Doherty kick the Please see KEEGAN, page 7B

Chiefs closing in on tweet prophesy KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — Nobody thought much of it when Le’Ron McClain sent the tweet bouncing across the Internet. The Kansas City Chiefs had lost three straight games, two in lopsided fashion, along with three of their best players to seasonending injuries. It looked as if they’d have a hard time winning one game, much less five — much less five in a row. Yet the Chiefs’ fullback sensed something in the second half of their game against San Diego, when they nearly rallied for a victory. There was a newfound sense of confidence, like maybe the defending AFC West champions weren’t ready to go quietly into the night. So he punched the message

into his twitter account (LeRon_McClain44): “We will overcome this ... 5-3 at the end of (the second) quarter of the season.” Doesn’t seem so far-fetched anymore. In fact, one of more than 18,000 messages that McClain has posted on Twitter suddenly seems prophetic. Already the first team in NFL history to go from 0-3 to tied atop a division after seven games, Kansas City can win its fifth straight when the winless Miami Dolphins visit Arrowhead Stadium today. It’ll be the first time the franchise has rattled off that long of a winning streak in eight years, and quite possibly the first time it’s ever Please see CHIEFS, page 5B

NBA talks continue past midnight NEW YORK (AP) — NBA owners and players met late into the night Saturday in hopes of ending the lockout before it could do further damage to an already-shortened schedule. They spent more than eight hours in negotiations with federal mediator George Cohen, who faced a difficult task in trying to help the sides close the financial gap that derailed talks again last week. Hall of Famer and Charlotte owner Michael Jordan, plus Portland billionaire owner Paul Allen joined the bargaining, along with the usual owners’ labor relations committee. Both are believed to be hardliners who want to offer the players an economic deal even worse than the proposal they already have rejected. Owners are determined not to

give players anything more than a 50-50 split of basketball-related income. Players, who were guaranteed 57 percent under the old collective bargaining agreement, have proposed a reduction to 52.5 percent, leaving the sides about $100 million apart annually based on last season’s revenues. Talks broke down last Friday when neither side would budge. Commissioner David Stern then canceled all games through November and warned that future owners’ proposals could be made with their “extraordinary” losses from the missed games in mind. A number of owners would favor that. A person briefed on the owners’ position Friday told the Associated Press that there were many hardline owners who want a deal at 53-47 in their favor plus a hard cap, and that the rest

wouldn’t go beyond a 50-50 split. Some issues related to the salary cap system remain, but the BRI split has emerged as a more significant obstacle. Talks have broken off each of the last two times the sides discussed it, including the previous time Cohen took part. They met for three straight days with him last month before players said owners insisted they accept a “take it or leave it” 50-50 split before any further discussions of the system. Allen made a rare appearance that day, and union officials said they believed his presence served as a message from the hardliners that there would be no further economic compromise. When talks broke down again last week, Stern and Deputy Commissioner Adam Silver said union

executive director Billy Hunter told them he couldn’t accept less than 52 percent because of pressure from agents. Some players have since taken part in conference calls to discuss the option of decertifying the union if they don’t get what they consider a fair proposal. But taking their fight to the courts with an antitrust lawsuit likely would mean missing the entire season, so both sides have said they believe bargaining is the best route to a deal. Owners met earlier Saturday, the 128th day of the lockout, for an update on the negotiations and a discussion of the league’s plans to expand revenue sharing among teams. Both sides then met individually with Cohen before the bargaining session began.

Ex-Penn State coach accused of molestation STATE COLLEGE, PA. (AP) — A former defensive coach who was integral for decades to Penn State’s football success was accused Saturday of molesting eight boys, and two school administrators were charged with failing to tell police when a witness told them he saw a boy being sexually assaulted in the shower. Former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky, 67, was arrested Saturday and released on $100,000 bail after being arraigned on 40 criminal counts, according to the office of the state attorney general, Linda Kelly. She called Sandusky “a sexual predator who used his position within the university and community to repeatedly prey on young boys.” Though reports surfaced months ago that Sandusky was being investigated, the case took on an added dimension Saturday when Penn State’s athletic director, Tim Curley, 57, and vice president for finance and business Gary Schultz, 62, were charged with perjury. Both were expected to turn themselves in on Monday in Harrisburg. Longtime head coach Joe Paterno, who has more victories than any coach in the history of Division I football, was not charged, authorities said, and the grand jury report did not appear to Sandusky implicate him in wrongdoing. It said that when Paterno first learned of one report of abuse, he immediately reported it to Curley, but Sandusky was no longer coaching at the time and it’s not clear whether Paterno followed up with Curley. For Penn State and the large community of alumni that surrounds it in Pennsylvania and beyond, the allegations represent a devastating blemish. Led for more than four decades by Paterno’s strong and unique public persona, the athletic program has prided itself on being clean and unsusceptible to the scandals that have tarnished other major schools. Sandusky, closely identified with the school’s reputation as a defensive powerhouse and a program that produced topquality linebackers, retired in 1999 but continued to work with at-risk children through the nonprofit Second Mile organization he founded in 1977, where authorities say all of the accusers first encountered him. The allegations against Sandusky range from sexual touching to oral and anal sex, and the young men testified they were in their early teens when some of the abuse occurred, and there is evidence even younger children may have been victimized. Defense attorney Joe Amendola said Sandusky has been aware of the accusations for about three years and has maintained his innocence. A preliminary hearing scheduled for Wednesday would likely be delayed, Amendola added. Sandusky is charged with multiple counts of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, corruption of minors, endangering the welfare of a child, indecent assault and unlawful contact with a minor, as well as single counts of aggravated indecent assault and attempted indecent assault. No one answered a knock at the door Saturday at Sandusky’s modest, two-story brick home at the end of a dead-end road in State College. A man who answered the door at The Second Mile office in State College declined to give his name and said the organization had no comment. The grand jury said eight boys were targets of sexual advances or assaults by Sandusky from 1994 to 2009. None was named, and in at least one case, the jury said the child’s identity remains unknown to authorities.

Busch barred from weekend NASCAR races FORT WORTH, TEXAS — Kyle Busch finally went too far for NASCAR, even in the era of “Boys, have at it.” The often volatile Busch was barred from driving in the Sprint Cup and Nationwide races at Texas this weekend, a rare step taken by NASCAR after he deliberately wrecked championship contender Ron Hornaday Jr. during a caution in the Truck Series race there. NASCAR President Mike Helton announced the decision Saturday after a meeting with Busch and Joe Gibbs, his Sprint Cup and Nationwide car owner. Busch is the first driver since Robby Gordon in August 2007 to be taken out of a Cup race for actions in another NASCAR race the same weekend. Kevin Harvick, the owner of Hornaday’s truck, was kept out of the Cup race at Martinsville in 2002 after an incident in a truck race there the previous day. Michael McDowell will take over in Sunday’s race for Busch, who was seventh in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship standings. Denny Hamlin, another Gibbs driver, took over Busch’s Nationwide seat Saturday.

It’s a ‘Texas Title Fight’ today FORT WORTH, TEXAS — Cousin Carl vs. Smoke. There is a tale of the tape and even lockers complete with boxing gloves and robes for both Carl Edwards and Tony Stewart, the top contenders in the NASCAR Sprint Cup points chase. There is huge banner featuring boxing promoter Don King with Texas Motor Speedway president Eddie Gossage. OK, so this “Texas Title Fight” — as the race is being billed — will be on the track today, and without the often volatile Kyle Busch. Edwards got to Texas with a mere eightpoint lead over Stewart, who last week won for the third time in seven Chase races and in Victory Lane said the points leader “better be worried. That’s all I’m saying.”

Thome heads back to Philly PHILADELPHIA — Jim Thome wants his second stint in Philadelphia to come with the World Series title he missed the first time around. Thome agreed to a $1.25 million, one-year contract with the Phillies on Saturday, returning to the franchise for a second time. The 41-year-old Thome hit .256 with 15 home runs and 50 RBI in a combined 93 games with the Minnesota Twins and Cleveland Indians last season. He batted .350 with runners in scoring position and .424 over his final 11 games of the season. Thome played for Philadelphia from 200305 and has remained close with Phillies manager Charlie Manuel, his hitting coach for several years in Cleveland.

Djokovic upset in Swiss semis BASEL, SWITZERLAND — Top-ranked Novak Djokovic was stunned in the Swiss Indoors semifinals on Saturday, losing 2-6, 7-6 (4), 6-0 to Japan’s Kei Nishikori. Nishikori was overmatched in the first set but turned the match around by winning a thrilling rally when Djokovic was just two points from victory at 5-4 in the second. The 32nd-ranked Nishikori, a wild card entry at the tournament, won the second-set tiebreaker then raced away with the final set for a career-best victory. He will play Roger Federer in today’s final after the defending champion beat Stanislas Wawrinka — his gold medal-winning doubles partner at the Beijing Olympics — 7-6 (5), 6-2 in the other semifinal.

Jayhawks tapped 11th By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

the frontcourt limelight and will try to make up for the loss of Markieff and Marcus Morris. The backcourt still has senior lead guard Tyshawn Taylor and junior Elijah Johnson. Can a threeman core win a league as deep as the Big 12? Depends on the contributions of players like Travis Releford and Loyola Marymount transfer Kevin Young, as well as what they can wean from a lower-profile freshman class that lost Ben McLemore and Jamari Taylor to eligibility issues (until next season). The Jayhawks could go 15-3 or 10-8 and neither would be a complete surprise. With Bill Self and Allen Fieldhouse as the guides, something closer to the former seems more likely,” Glockner added.

Kansas University’s basketball team — which has been ranked preseason No. 13 by both the Associated Press and ESPN/USA Today — has been tapped No. 11 nationally by hoops guru Ken Pomeroy. Pomeroy, who has a legion of fans who follow his RPI ratings, believes KU will finish the regular season with a 22-7 overall record, 13-5 in Big 12 games. Pomeroy has KU finishing two games ahead of Baylor (11-7) and Missouri (11-7). He has Texas A&M, Texas and Kansas State tied for fourth at 10-8. According to kenpom.com, KU will lose to Kentucky in New York and Ohio State in Allen Fieldhouse, and also fall at Texas, Missouri, Baylor, Kansas ! State and Texas A&M.

He’s expected to visit Duke for the North Carolina game on March 3, according to Zagsblog.com, and also is considering UCLA, UNLV and others. Muhammad’s dad, Ron Holmes, told jayhawkslant. com that Muhammad will visit KU. “It’s a done deal (visiting KU), but we just have to figure out what game,” Holmes said. !

White update: Andrew White, a 6-6 senior from Miller School in Chester, Va., is expected to sign with a school during the early period. Rivals.com’s No. 56-rated player has visited KU, Louisville and West Virginia officially as well as North Carolina State and Richmond unofficially. Georgetown just recently offered a scholarship, according to jayhawkslant.com. Here’s Rivals.com analyst Jerry Meyer’s take on the situation: “There is no doubt that losing Kaleb Tarczewski to Arizona was a painful recruiting loss for Kansas. But as the cliché goes, you win some and you lose some. So the Kansas staff will keep plugging along on the recruiting front. The main thing I’m hearing about Kansas is that the Jayhawks are moving into a strong position in the recruitment of Andrew White. It is tough to get a gauge on exactly how White feels about his other schools.”

KANSAS’ JAMIE MATHIEU (14) GETS LOW to dig the ball as Brianne Riley watches during Kansas’ volleyball match against Texas. UT won in five sets Saturday at Horejsi Center.

UT volleyball survives KU J-W Staff Reports

Kansas University’s volleyball team took No. 9-ranked Texas to five sets, but the Longhorns ultimately prevailed on Saturday at Horejsi Center. Texas won, 25-20, 18-25, 2519, 16-25, 15-8. “We really needed a result tonight, but maybe the effort tonight will get us some results in the future,” KU coach Ray Bechard said. “I thought we were the better team for half of the night, and then game five is a toss-up, and that is when you really have to produce.”

KU women CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

The eighth-year KU coach said Mays knows her practice production led to the benching, and the Arlington, Texas, native responded. “She’s had some decent workouts since, and she understood, and I talked to her,” Henrickson said. The addition of Mays won’t be the only thing different about KU’s lineup against the Gorillas. While playing time was distributed pretty evenly between veterans and young players against ESU, Henrickson indicated Kansas will rely more heavily on its starters

Texas (16-4 overall, 9-1 Big 12) had been forced to five sets just three times this season. Kansas fell to 13-12, 1-11 in front of a nearly packed house of 1,235 fans. KU had more kills (60-58), assists (57-56) and hit for a higher percentage (.210-.209). Senior outside hitter Allison Mayfield became the Jayhawks’ all-time attempts leader. She also led the team with 17 kills, a pair of service aces and two blocks. She trailed only Longhorn sophomore Bailey Webster for the floor’s scoring leader as she racked up 20 points for the Jayhawks.

Freshman Sara McClinton also provided a powerful effort from the outside, cranking out a career-high 15 kills while rejecting three Longhorn attempts. Third-year sophomore middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc had six blocks. She also landed a critical ace and knocked down 11 kills on just 22 swings to lead her team with a .364 attack percentage. On the other side of the net, last week’s Big 12 Rookie and Freshman of the Week, Khat Bell, left the match in the second set following an injury. KU will travel Saturday to Texas Tech.

PROBABLE STARTERS

Angel Goodrich — played more than 21 minutes against the Hornets, while KU went to its five freshmen — Natalie Knight, Catherine “Bunny” Williams, Asia Boyd, Donielle Breaux and Chelsea Gardner — and the rest of its bench for most of the second half. Henrickson said she will be looking for more energy, better shot selection and more execution out of the Jayhawks’ returning players as they get closer to games that will count on the team’s win-loss record. For instance, Davis went for 14 points and six boards Wednesday, but her coach wants to see more out of the 6-foot-3 forward. “Carolyn’s gotta get on the glass,” Henrickson said. “She’s got to box out.”

TOP 25 ROUNDUP

LSU survives Game of Century, 9-6 The Associated Press

TUSCALOOSA, ALA. — No. 1 LSU gained the inside track to the BCS title game, beating No. 2 Alabama, 9-6, on Drew Alleman’s 25-yard field goal in overtime after a fierce defensive struggle in which neither team reached the end zone Saturday night. The Crimson Tide missed four field goals, including Cade Foster’s 52-yard attempt after Alabama got the ball first in the extra period. LSU appeared to win the game on Michael Ford’s run around left end after taking a pitch, but he stepped out of bounds at the 7. After two plays gained nothing, LSU (9-0, 6-0 Southeastern Conference) sent on Alleman to attempt his third field goal of the game on third down. Alabama (81, 5-1) tried to freeze him by calling timeout, but he calmly knocked it through to set off a wild celebration by the visiting team. The crowd of more than 100,000 at Bryant-Denny Stadium — most of them dressed in crimson — sat in stunned silence as LSU celebrated its victory in only the 23rd regular-season matchup between the top two teams in The Associated Press rankings. LSU still must win its last three regular-season games — No. 8 Arkansas is the toughest test — and then would have to get through the SEC championship game. But the Tigers are the clear favorite after winning another huge game away from home, emerging with the victory in a matchup between the two teams generally considered the best in the land. Alabama will long be moaning about how this one got away. Foster missed two first-quarter field goals, and Jeremy Shelley had one blocked before Shelley finally made one from 34 yards. Alleman kicked a 19-yarder

on the final play of the first half, leaving the teams tied at 3 even though the Crimson Tide clearly had the upper hand. Interceptions set up both field goals in the second half. Foster made one from 46 yards after Jarrett Lee threw his second pick of the game, then Alleman connected from 30 yards after Alabama’s AJ McCarron made an ill-timed throw. Outside of the kicking woes, Marquis Maze was at the center of two decisive plays in the fourth quarter that helped finish off the Crimson Tide. First, with Alabama threatening at the LSU 28, he took a snap in the wildcat formation and tried to surprise LSU with a pass. Tight end Michael Williams broke into the clear near the goal line, but Eric Reid hustled back to snatch it away as both players tumbled to the ground at the 1. Reid wound up with the ball, the officials ruled it an interception and a replay upheld the call. LSU failed to pick up a first down, and it looked as though Alabama would get it back in good field position to take another crack at the LSU end zone. But Maze appeared to lose the line-drive punt, turned away from it around his own 40 and the ball rolled all the way to the Alabama 19. The Tiger got it out to around midfield on their final possession of regulation, then had to punt it away. Alabama took over with only 52 seconds left and settled for overtime. Unlike Notre Dame’s infamous 10-10 tie with Michigan State in another 1-2 matchup in 1966, when the Irish ran out the clock at the end of the fourth quarter, this one could not end that way.

western (4-5, 2-4) ran out the clock. Persa injured his left shoulder in the second quarter when he was slammed to the ground by Eric Martin. Colter ran for 58 yards and completed four of six passes for 115 yards.

Taylor Martinez, who passed for 289 yards and two scores, hurriedly moved Nebraska (7-2, 3-2 Big Ten) down the field.

Veritas upended, 48-30 By Corey Thibodeaux cthibodeaux@ljworld.com

Veritas Christian School’s football winning streak came to an end at the hands of an old nemesis. St. Mary’s Academy beat the Eagles, 48-30, to end Veritas’ season, its 19-game winning streak and its run in the Kansas Christian Athletic Association state playoffs on Saturday at the Eagles Nest. “I think we were ready to play,” Veritas junior Andrew Harvey said. “They just outplayed us.” Veritas, the defending KCAA state champion, jumped to an early lead, recording a safety on the first drive of the game after the ball went over a St. Mary’s player’s head and out of the end zone. Then, early in the second quarter, senior quarterback Nick Bennett ran in a short touchdown. Veritas missed the two-point conversion, and the 8-0 lead would be the Eagles’ largest of the game. “I know a lot of guys were beat down and devastated,” Veritas senior Preston Randall said. “But, honestly, we played the best game we could.” Veritas held the lead until 1:53 left in the half. That’s when St. Mary’s took over. St. Mary’s quarterback Brian Rebigila got hot after a slow start and started finding wide-open receivers for huge gains. The Crusaders scored a touchdown to take a 16-14 lead. The Eagles looked like they could go in for another score before halftime, but fumbled it away on the second play of the drive. Using the remaining time, St. Mary’s capitalized with a touchdown and went into halftime with a 10-point lead. Turnovers killed the Eagles. They had five turnovers, and several of them were in crucial moments. St. Mary’s turned an interception on the second play of the second half into a touchdown. Veritas then tried to swing

made good on such a bold prognostication. “I felt like we had something going against the Chargers that first game,” McClain said by way of an explanation. “Just something to build on. Guys took that and we’ve just been carrying it, every week, one week at a time, doing everything we can to get these victories.” The first two were written off as coming against division doormats, Minnesota and Indianapolis. Even now they’ve combined to win just two games. The third one, despite being a 28-0 rout, came against an Oakland team that had just lost its starting quarterback for the season. But the Chiefs finally made believers across the league last Sunday, when they stood toe-to-toe with the Chargers for four quarters. When Philip Rivers fumbled a snap that

VERITAS CHRISTIAN SCHOOL DEFENDERS wrap up a ballcarrier during the Eagles’ playoff game against St. Mary’s. Veritas lost, 48-30, Saturday at the Eagles Nest. the momentum with a 47yard pass from Bennett to Randall. With the end zone 10 yards away, the Eagles fumbled it away. It was Veritas’ first loss since the semifinals of the 2009 tournament. The Eagles did not defend their KCAA title, but they are still comfortable with how the season turned out. “We came out and blew people up,” Harvey said. “Oh, man, it was awesome. It was a great season.” That’s the mentality coach Doug Bennett tried to instill in his players. Championship or not, Veritas football is becoming a powerhouse. “What I told them was ‘101,’” Bennett said. “That’s a great record.” Randall recalled getting beat by almost every team when he first came to Veritas, but things have turned around. After three successful seasons, the Eagles are not a fluke. “We’re not going to be a team that goes up then goes down,” Randall said. “I feel like with the guys coming up, we’ve got a good future ahead of us.” Doug Bennett said he is most proud of the players getting to know success. “Kids that aren’t getting this kind of experience need to think about coming to Veritas,” he said. spoiled San Diego’s chance to kick a winning field goal in regulation, Kansas City made them pay in overtime. Ryan Succop’s 30-yard field goal gave the Chiefs’ their fourth straight win. One more to go before McClain’s prediction comes true. “We just need to focus on the next game,” he said. “Miami is looking for their first win of the season, they want to get it against the Chiefs, so we have to make sure we don’t let that happen.” If anything, the Dolphins can take a bit of solace in the struggles that Kansas City went through early this season, when it was outscored 89-10 over the course of its first two games. The Dolphins have at least been competitive in nearly every game they’ve played, and on several occasions should have come out on top. They lost to Cleveland 17-16 in Week 3, blew a 15-point lead in an overtime loss to Denver two weeks ago, and lost 20-17 last week to the New York Giants.

Baker squeaks past Benedictine J-W Staff Reports

BALDWIN CITY — Senior defensive back Madison Morris’ interception with 1:20 left sealed No. 25 Baker University’s 10-7 college football victory over No. 9 Benedictine College on Saturday at Liston Stadium, keeping the Wildcats’ NAIA playoff hopes alive. Earlier in the fourth quarter, senior Robert Woodall intercepted a pass in the end zone to stall another Ravens’ drive. The Wildcats improved to 6-3 overall and 5-3 in the Heart of America Athletic Conference to guarantee their fifth consecutive winning season. Benedictine dipped to 8-2 overall and 6-2 in the conference. Baker’s lone touchdown came in the second quarter when sophomore Connor Stremmel blocked a punt and recovered the ball in the end zone.

while the others came when he scrambled to make a play. “They really shut off our running backs,” Barnett said, “keying on them and making me make the decisions with the ball in my hands.”

The red-shirt freshman converted four first downs on runs, including three third-down conversions on third-and-10 or longer. “He’s got the ability to make cuts like a running back does,” Rhoads said. Barnett also was complimentary of KU’s defense, saying he was impressed by the Jayhawks’ speed and ability to hit. “I think I came in not expecting them to play that hard and play as good as they did,” Barnett said. “But they really did come out and really gave us a tough time on offense. I think they surprised a lot of people with how they came out and played us on defense.” Last season, the Cyclones lost their final three games to finish 5-7 — one victory short of bowleligibility. This year, Iowa State finishes its season with a home game against Oklahoma State before playing at Oklahoma and at Kansas State. “This was a great win for this team, this 2011 team,” Rhoads said. “Now we’ve got to continue to build on it.”

We were a little under-manned, and they were just stacking that short side. But give credit to them. They got a great push up front, and their tight ends and fullbacks came up and made great blocks.” Asked if the Jayhawks talked about an adjustment, McDougald said it was too little, too late. “We did,” he said. “But, by that

KU also forced three turnovers — an interception and forced fumble by McDougald and a forced fumble by Greg Brown — and held the Cyclones scoreless in the third quarter. “Our defense really stood in there and played well and gave us an opportunity,” Gill said. Added McDougald: “We definitely did a great job today playing as one unit. A lot of guys were out there just playing passionately. We don’t have anything to lose at this point, and guys are out there giving it their all. We’re just gonna keep coming back and keep trying to get better. That’s the only thing we can do at this point. It’s the same story, basically. Guys are going to go to the film room and keep trying to get better.”

The 13 points scored by Iowa State were the fewest allowed by a KU defense in a Big 12 game since 2007, when the Jayhawks rocked

Trickery Dickory Doc The KU offense attempted a variety of trick plays during the loss to Iowa State. KU dialed up several reverse runs and even attempted a triple reverse on one play. Gill said that was by design. “We talked about calling some of those plays when the opportunity presented itself,” Gill said. “In this ballgame, we moved the ball a little bit better so that helps you to have more plays called.”

Top tacklers Saturday’s game featured the top two tacklers in the Big 12 Conference, KU linebacker Steven Johnson (94) and Iowa State linebacker Jake Knott (70). Knott, who

finished with 10 tackles to lead the Cyclones, got the better of the head-to-head match-up Saturday. Johnson finished with five. Junior safety Bradley McDougald led the Jayhawks with 11 tackles, and Keeston Terry, Darius Willis and Greg Brown each added eight.

Jayhawks reacquainted with lead The 22-yard touchdown run by D.J. Beshears at the 2:02 mark in the first quarter gave the Jayhawks their first lead since forging ahead, 7-0, at Oklahoma State on Oct. 8.

Freshmen grounded Freshman running back Tony Pierson sat out Saturday’s game because of injury, and freshman wide receiver JaCorey Shepherd played sparingly and was not targeted in the Jayhawks’ passing game. “Shepherd was just by our design,” Gill said. “Nothing’s wrong with him. Pierson has a little bit of a hand (injury), so we didn’t feel comfortable with him playing. But I expect him to be back this week.” Hey, Mr. D.J. Gill said the coaching staff made a concentrated effort to get junior wide receiver D.J. Beshears more involved in the offense Saturday. “That was our design,” Gill said. “We talked about that this week, making sure he got eight to 10 touches. We wanted to make sure we got him more touches than we had been getting him.” Beshears finished with three carries for 28 yards — including a 22-yard touchdown run, the longest of his career — and led KU with five receptions for 45 yards.

Wild KSU upset bid falls short at No. 3 OSU STILLWATER, OKLA. (AP) — Brandon Weeden threw for a school-record 502 yards and four touchdowns, and Joseph Randle scored the final, tiebreaking 23-yard touchdown with 2:16 remaining to lift No. 3 Oklahoma State to a 52-45 victory against No. 17 Kansas State on Saturday night. The Cowboys (9-0, 6-0 Big 12) matched the best start in school history and survived quite a scare from K-State (72, 4-2), which had three shots at the end zone in the final 12 seconds. Collin Klein missed on 5-yard passes intended for Tyler Lockett and Chris Harper and then overshot Tramaine Thompson in the end zone as time expired. Oklahoma State’s players rushed on to the field to celebrate, their national championship hopes still intact. All-America receiver Justin Blackmon caught 13 passes for 205 yards and two touchdowns, atoning for his twofumble game with a 54-yard touchdown catch with 4:47 remaining that pulled the Cowboys out of a 38-37 deficit. He also caught the 2-point conversion for a 45-38 lead. Kansas State responded right back with Lockett’s 80yard kickoff return and three straight runs by Klein, who barged in from 12 yards out to tie it up with 3:18 remaining. It took Oklahoma State’s quick-strike offense just four plays and 62 seconds to respond again. Weeden found Isaiah Anderson for a 33-yard gain, and Randle ran through a big hole on third-and-1 before dodging safety Jordan Zimmerman to waltz in for the game-winner.

OKLAHOMA STATE WIDE RECEIVER ISAIAH ANDERSON, CENTER, CELEBRATES with fans following a 52-45 victory over Kansas State on Saturday in Stillwater, Okla. Klein drove the Wildcats down for a chance to tie — or perhaps go for the win with a 2-point conversion — by converting a fourth-and-4 with a quarterback keeper and then connecting with Harper for 22 yards to set up first-andgoal at the 5-yard line. With no time to rely on his potent running game, coach Bill Snyder called three

straight passing plays but none got the job done. Klein finished with 231 yards passing with one touchdown and one interception. He also ran for 144 yards and three scores. Minutes after the game ended, the stadium shook from an apparent aftershock from a 4.7-magnitude earthquake earlier in the day.

The thrilling finish came after a wild back-and-forth game filled with turnovers and plenty of offense — nothing like what was on display in LSUAlabama clash in the SEC that ended 9-6 in overtime. While LSU will likely remain first when the BCS standings come out on Sunday, Oklahoma State will probably be the new No. 2.

With starting receivers Josh Cooper and Hubert Anyiam out, Tracy Moore set career-highs with nine catches for 146 yards for Oklahoma State. Oklahoma State capitalized on Klein’s fumble on the Wildcats’ second play from scrimmage to strike first with Randle’s 4-yard touchdown run, and it was soon 14-0 af-

ter Weeden hit Moore for a 44-yard gain to set up the Cowboys’ second score. Blackmon stutter-stepped at the line to get Nigel Malone on his heels, then caught Weeden’s pass and stutter-stepped again to get past him for an 11-yard score. Then the Cowboys’ stars made a series of mistakes to let K-State back in the game. Blackmon fumbled on a punt return to set up Anthony Cantele’s 37-yard field goal, then Weeden gave the ball right back by throwing a pick to Tysyn Hartman on a deep ball. Angelo Pease and Klein had short TD runs on Kansas State’s next two possessions before another Weeden interception was returned 60 yards for a score by Allen Chapman. Kansas State led 24-14 — the biggest home deficit this season for the Cowboys — then started piling up errors of its own. James Thomas intercepted a pass that Klein threw into coverage and Brodrick Brown tipped. His 47-yard return set up Weeden’s 5-yard TD pass to Moore on the next play. Then, instead of pinning Oklahoma State deep, Ryan Doerr’s punt went out of bounds after only 19 yards and gave OSU good field position to drive for Quinn Sharp’s 29-yard field goal and a 27-24 halftime lead. The Cowboys were 1 yard away from claiming a 41-31 lead late in the third quarter when Blackmon fumbled for the second time in the game and Lyndell Johnson recovered in the end zone for Kansas State.

finds OU beats A&M, but loses standout Broyles Texas an identity

NORMAN, OKLA. (AP) — No. 7 Oklahoma lost a lot in a victory over Texas A&M. All-American Ryan Broyles, the NCAA’s career leader in receptions, tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee and will miss the remainder of the season. He got hurt while cutting to make his second catch of the game, a 30-yarder that set up one of four third-quarter touchdowns in the Sooners’ 41-25 victory Saturday. “It’s just a bad deal,” quarterback Landry Jones said. “You hate for something like that to happen to such a good guy.” Broyles left the field in tears. He entered the game averaging 13.2 yards on 81 catches. His two catches went for 57 and 30 yards. “He’s such a special, special player,” coach Bob Stoops said. “It’s deflating for him and for all of us. ... Your heart drops when you first hear it.” The Sooners (8-1, 5-1 Big 12) scored on four straight possessions after leading 1310 at halftime. Texas A&M (5-4, 3-3) had its second-half troubles continue — the Aggies gave up big second-half leads in its previous three losses. The Aggies, headed for the Southeastern Conference, won’t miss coming to Norman. They’re now 0-7 on Owen Field during the Bob Stoops era; the previous six losses had come by an average of 41 points.

“We knew we were facing a very good defense, but the bottom line is you just can’t turn the ball over like we did today and expect to win a football game,” coach Mike Sherman said. “Take no credit away from Oklahoma, but we gave them 14 points there in the third quarter and then we had a short punt, and you can’t play football that way.” Jones threw third-quarter touchdown passes of 31 yards to Jaz Reynolds, who made a nifty one-handed grab, and 39 yards to Kenny Stills. Tailback Roy Finch and backup quarterback Blake Bell added short touchdown runs in the third. Texas A&M’s seven thirdquarter possessions produced four punts, two turnovers and a missed field goal. One punt, into the 30-mph wind, netted just 14 yards and set Oklahoma up at the Aggies’ 31-yard line. On the first play, Jones hit Reynolds down the right side. A&M’s next drive ended with an interception by defensive end Ronnell Lewis, who caught a tipped ball and returned it 11 yards to the Aggies’ 28. Finch scored five plays later. The Sooners needed one play to score after an interception by Jamell Fleming — Jones’ long pass to Stills down the left sideline to make it 41-10. Reynolds had six catches for 75 yards, Stills two for 44. They and others will be expected to fill the void left by Broyles.

AUSTIN, TEXAS (AP) — For several years, Texas lacked a power back who could pound defenses into submission. Now the Longhorns seem to have them everywhere. Freshman Joe Bergeron ran for 191 yards and scored three touchdowns Saturday, leading a 52-20 rout of Texas Tech that saw Texas rush for more than 400 yards for the second week in a row. Bergeron scored on runs of 9, 5 and 12 yards and Fozzy Whittaker ran for Texas’ first two touchdowns in the second quarter. The Longhorns (6-2, 3-2 Big 12) are now bowl-eligible after missing the postseason last year for the first time since 1997. Bergeron, who had never carried the ball more than 13 times in a game this season, had 29 against the Red Raiders because Texas held out leading rusher Malcolm Brown, another freshman, because of a sore toe. Bergeron ran for 191 yards Saturday.

Griffin, Baylor offense have record day against MU WACO, TEXAS (AP) — Robert Griffin III threw for 406 yards and three touchdowns and ran for another, and Terrance Ganaway ran for touchdowns of 38 and 80 yards, leading Baylor to a 4239 victory over Missouri on Saturday night. Baylor set a school record by gaining 697 yards. Griffin, a dazzling dual-threat quarterback, cracked 400 yards passing for the third straight game; this time was more meaningful as the last two games were lopsided losses. The Bears (5-3, 2-3 Big 12) improved to 5-0 at home and are one win from being bowl

eligible for a second straight season. They haven’t been to bowls in consecutive seasons since 1991-92. A week after overcoming an 11-point, fourth-quarter deficit at nearby Texas A&M, Missouri could only come close to wiping out a 14-point, fourth-quarter deficit. The Tigers (4-5, 2-4) scored 25 points in the final period, but were thwarted when Baylor recovered an onside kick with 1:59 left. Perhaps days from joining the Southeastern Conference, Missouri didn’t have the kind of stingy defense it’s going to need to compete in that

league. The Tigers wasted leads of 7-0 and 14-7, then let a 14-13 halftime advantage turn into a 28-14 deficit. Their fourth-quarter offensive surge was undermined by allowing a 68-yard touchdown pass and Ganaway’s 80-yard TD run. After Ganaway sealed the game by running 18 yards to the Missouri 8 on a thirdand-2 in the final minute, Baylor fans chanted “S-E-C! S-E-C!” Missouri’s Henry Josey, who came in leading the Big 12 in rushing, ran for 132 yards and two touchdowns. It was his fourth straight game with at least 129 yards.

Attempted abuse cannot be overlooked Dear Annie: Recently, our 11-year-old daughter visited her 14-year-old cousin over the weekend. When she came home, she told us that her aunt and uncle went to a neighborhood party, and she and her cousin went to bed in separate rooms. During the night, my brother-in-law came back alone and went into our daughter’s room, pulled down the covers and asked her to pull up her nightie. She refused. She said he stood in the window huffing and puffing for a while, but eventually left. She was terrified and did not have the presence of mind to yell for her cousin. When we were told about the incident, my husband refused to mention it to his sister, saying “nothing actually happened.” I am very upset, and my daughter was traumatized. What do you think we should do? — Frustrated and Angry Dear Frustrated: “Nothing happened” only because your daughter had the fortitude to protect herself. If your husband will not discuss this with his sister, you should. She may say your daughter is lying, or her husband will use drunkenness as an excuse. Nonetheless, it is important that you support your daughter in this. Commend her for reporting it to you and reacting appropriately, and empower her

I married the first that you have changed your Annie’s Mailbox When time, I hired a professional mind. Let her know you ap-

by teaching her how to deal with the possibility of similar incidents in the future. If she is still traumatized, please get counseling for her. Your brother-in-law should understand that you could choose to report his behavior to the police. And needless to say, your daughter should not sleep at her cousin’s again, nor should she be around her uncle without others present. Dear Annie: In a few months, I am marrying for the second time. I have an old high school friend who is trying to build her business as an event planner. She insisted I hire her to do my wedding, and under her relentless pressure, I agreed. Now I regret it. My friend has no experience in event planning. She is eager to learn and wants to build her clientele. But I don’t feel comfortable having her do that at my wedding.

‘Hell’ recalls anti-Westerns of the 1960s AMC returns to its roots with “Hell on Wheels” (9 p.m.). It’s easy to forget that before the American Movie Classics network became known for original series like “Mad Men,” ‘‘Breaking Bad” and “The Walking Dead,” its most popular broadcasts included Westerns, including repeats of the “Lonesome Dove” miniseries and its own Western mini, “Broken Trail.” Like AMC’s more recent series, “Hell” explores the darker corners of American history and human nature. Set against the construction boom (and political boondoggle) of the post-Civil War era during the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad, “Hell” follows Cullen Bohannon (Anson Mount), a former Confederate soldier on the hunt for the Union officers who murdered his wife. While working on the railroad, he’s put in charge of a road gang of former slaves, including Elam, portrayed by musician Common. The always-enjoyable Colm Meaney (“Star Trek: Next Generation”) is Durant, a railroad baron out to squeeze the most out of the federal subsidies for his construction. Meaney loses his Irish brogue for the project, and bellows in a voice not unlike that of Gene Hackman. Durant’s machinations remind us that “Hell” takes place during the dawn of the Gilded Age, when war gave way to the single-minded pursuit of money. It’s easy to see why “Hell” and another recent show, “Boardwalk Empire,” take place during the Johnson and Harding eras, both historical epochs rife with spectacular corruption. ‘‘Hell” recalls the “anti-Westerns” of the late 1960s, most notably Sergio Leone’s “Once Upon a Time in the West.” Come to think of it, I seem to recall watching that more than once on the old, pre-“Mad Men” AMC.

Tonight’s other highlights Scheduled on “60 Minutes” (6 p.m., CBS): therapy for returning vets, an interview with Jack Abramoff. The Steelers host the Ravens on “Sunday Night Football” (7 p.m., NBC). Prince Charming and Snow White have a flashback encounter on “Once Upon a Time” (7 p.m., ABC). Mrs. Claus tries to prevent a divorce in the 2011 fable “Mistletoe Over Manhattan” (7 p.m., Hallmark). “Trashopolis” (7 p.m., Smithsonian) explores how garbage and its disposal helped shape the world’s great cities. High stakes on “The Good Wife” (8 p.m., CBS). A grisly uncovering on “Desperate Housewives” (8 p.m., ABC). Shane makes a grim choice on “The Walking Dead” (8 p.m., AMC). Nucky puts his money on boxer Jack Dempsey (Devin Harjes) on “Boardwalk Empire” (8 p.m., HBO). “The Last Days of Osama bin Laden” (8 p.m., National Geographic). Just let go on “Dexter” (8 p.m., Showtime). Polygraphs are ordered on “Homeland” (9 p.m., Showtime).

event planner with amazing skills who did a phenomenal job. I would love to hire the same woman again. How do I tactfully handle this? — In a Mess Dear Mess: Your friend should not have taken advantage of your vulnerability and bulldozed her way into your wedding. Although it is possible she would do a lovely job, it is more important that you feel confident that someone is handling the details of the occasion. Go back to your friend and tell her as nicely as possible

preciate her efforts on your behalf, but you want her to be a guest at the wedding, not an employee, and you would be uncomfortable hiring a friend. Acknowledge her disappointment, and understand that she may become angry. But please do not back down, or you will regret it from now until the day you marry — and possibly beyond. — Please e-mail your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or write to Annie’s Mailbox, P.O.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Sunday, Nov. 6: This year you express your fiery nature, with the exception of late January through April 2012. Be careful where you put your energy. If you are single, you could attract someone very exciting before summer 2012. If you are attached, the two of you need to discuss your frustration or hurt feelings, but certainly don’t make any decisions in the abovementioned period. Aries can trigger you. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) The unexpected appears. Forge ahead. Deal with an older relative and/or friend. One of you will need to give. Tonight: Enjoying every last moment of the weekend. Taurus (April 20-May 20) Sometimes issues are more apparent than you realize. Detach and relax without phones ringing or people asking for this or that. Tonight: Not to be found. Gemini (May 21-June 20) You draw many people together, and happily so. Listen to a friend and get to the bot-

tom of a personal problem. Tonight: Where the gang is. Cancer (June 21-July 22) A parent, older friend or authority figure could be going overboard. Clearly this person wants to take the lead. Tonight: Do your best at juggling. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Don’t key into someone’s issue so much that you cannot see clearly. You want to distance yourself, perhaps not literally but possibly mentally. Tonight: Don’t even think about tomorrow. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Deal with others directly, demonstrating your caring. Others could do the most unanticipated things. Tonight: Go with a suggestion. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Defer to others. Think positively when dealing with a family member or roommate. You might be at the end of your rope dealing with someone, but you make an excellent choice. Tonight: Go with another’s suggestion. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Are you still working on that project?

Your fiery side responds accordingly. Don’t take unnecessary emotional risks. Tonight: Be ever frisky. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) How you structure a familial or domestic matter might make it subject to upheaval and major change. Tonight: Close to home. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Keep conversations moving, though you might want to hang with friends and loved ones. You might be making judgments that prevent you from seeing the complete situation. Tonight: Hang out. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Make it OK to treat someone to an event, a meal or more. Make it OK also to treat yourself to a long-term desire: a special membership, a clothing item. Tonight: Tap into a little self-discipline. — The astrological forecast should be read for entertainment only.

MANY PLANTS CAN BE PROPAGATED in a variety of ways in your own yard, increasing the number of plants you have for just a little investment of time. Forsythia plants and others with soft supple branches like azalea, rhododendron, holly and magnolia can be multiplied through layering, in which a branch still attached to plant is put in contact with soil and water to stimulate generation of new roots.

Layering is easy way to create more plants O

ne of the most interesting characteristics of plants, I think, is the ability to reproduce asexually. For example, a stem cutting of a philodendron can be placed in soil and, given the right environment, will amazingly become a whole new plant. There are many methods for asexual propagation in addition to stem cuttings, including other types of cuttings, grafting and budding, and division. Layering is another method and is a good choice for propagating plants with soft, supple branches like forsythia, azalea, rhododendron, holly and magnolia. When plants are propagated by layering, the part of the plant that will hopefully become a new plant is still attached to and protected by the mother plant. Layering is often considered easier and more reliable than grafting.

Garden Calendar

Jennifer Smith smithjen@ksu.edu

Layering can be done in a few different ways. Layering is really about contact of the plant stem with soil and water that stimulates growth of plant roots. Plants’ ability to differentiate plant cells in this way is one means of survival. Ground layering or simple layering is the easiest. Using a young, flexible stem that is close

to the ground, press the stem to the soil surface until you hear the stem crack. This wounds the plant and encourages cell growth. Pin the stem to the ground or weight it with a rock and pile a bit of soil onto the wounded part of the stem. Root formation will occur over a period of several months. Air layering is best when stems are too far from the ground for simple layering or when soil is dry, poor quality, and/or compacted. Again, choose a young, flexible stem, ideally about the same diameter as a pencil. Wound the chosen branch by slicing into it vertically, or carefully remove a small strip of bark. After wounding the plant, brush the exposed plant tissue with rooting hormone. Rooting hormone is available at most garden centers and is made from a naturally occurring plant hor-

mone. Use of rooting hormone helps to speed root formation. Tuck moistened sphagnum peat moss into the wound or wrap it around the wound. The moistened peat moss will provide moisture without promoting decay. Wrap the branch and peat moss in plastic wrap and secure the wrap on both ends with rubber bands or plant tape. Cover the plastic wrap with aluminum foil or black plastic to protect it and encourage root growth. Air layering, like ground layering, takes several months to a year. Carefully peel back the foil occasionally to check for moisture and formation of plant roots. Peat moss should be moist but not saturated. Once the air or ground layered branch forms sufficient roots, remove it from the original plant. Give the new plant a good home in an ideal location.

Although plants can be air or ground layered in several places at once, each layering only works to create one new plant. Not all plants can be layered. If you have a plant you want to propagate and are unsure how, there are many references available to direct you to the best method for each plant genus. Also, before propagating any plant, note that new varieties of plants are protected by patents for 20 years. That means you cannot propagate your Knock Out™ rose and sell the new plants. You can, however, propagate your noname forsythia. Plant patents are meant to protect plant breeders just as any other inventor is able to protect his or her work. — Jennifer Smith is the Horticulture Extension Agent for K-State Research and Extension in Douglas County.

Kovel’s Antiques: Collectors get kick out of football toys By Terry Kovel

During football season, fans shop for T-shirts, banners, nodding heads, glasses and other souvenirs of the game. Through the years, many football toys also have been made. A 1930s iron mechanical placekicker toy actually could kick a tiny football. This toy has been attributed to the Hubley Manufacturing Co. of Lancaster, Pa., but we found the toy’s 1934 U.S. patent (No. 1,954,838). It was granted to Charles Woolsey and Henry Bowman of Minneapolis, who assigned it to the Hinsdale Manufacturing Co. of Chicago. The invention was a game, not just the place-kicking figure. There was a fiberboard backboard that represented a football field. It had football-shaped holes that were targets for the football kicked by the

iron mechanical man. The kicker could be moved into different positions. The idea was to get the toy man to kick his miniature ball through one of the backboard’s holes for a goal. Few of the backboards have survived, so collectors often think the football player merely kicked the celluloid or tin ball into the air. Some information about the game is still unknown. Did Hinsdale manufacture it? Or did it sell its rights to Hubley? And is its value changed by knowing it’s part of a game, not a stand-alone toy? Q: I have a medal with a picture of a turtle carrying a box on its back and the words “Executive Experiment, 1837, Fiscal Agent” on one side. On the other side, there’s a horse or donkey with the words “I follow in the steps of my illustrious predecessor.”

Can you tell me who made it and if it has any value? A: You have a “Hard Times Token,” one of hundreds of different nongovernmental currency tokens made from 1834 until about 1844. In 1836, President Andrew Jackson issued an executive order, the Specie Circular or Coinage Act, requiring payment in gold or silver coins when buying government land. It was meant to eliminate land speculation, but instead caused inflation, the hoarding of coins and the Panic of 1837. To help sales during that time, tokens that could be used as unofficial currency were made by merchants and other private companies. The tokens pictured various designs, advertising and political themes. They usually were made of copper and were about the size of the large penny of that era. The Coinage Act went into effect when President

Martin Van Buren, Jackson’s successor, was in office. The words on your token were used by Van Buren in his inaugural address. The animal is a jackass. The turtle on the other side is carrying a safe. Value of your token: less than $25. Q: I have a desk with a mark on the back that reads “Sheboygan Novelty Co. Combination Ladies Desk, No 17.” I’d like to know something about this company and the age of the desk. A: Sheboygan Novelty Co. was founded in 1890 in Sheboygan, Wis., and remained in business until the 1930s. The company made furniture, including bookcases, buffets, cellarettes, china cabinets, dining sets, ladies’ desks and cabinets for music, player-piano rolls and phonographs. Your combination bookcase-desk probably was made in about 1900.

THIS 8-INCH-TALL FOOTBALL PLAYER is made of cast iron. With the help of a lever and a spring, he kicks the football. The player was sold for $547 by RSL Auction Co. of Oldwick, N.J., in 2009.

Populist music: Lucinda Williams writes for all Phoenix

its head in his own cruelty in “Sweet Side” (“I’ve seen you in the kitchen cookin’ me supper/ I listened to you bitchin’ and I watched you suffer”) from 2003’s “World Without Tears.” Most of her songs are nonfiction, memoirs or biographies of sorts, rooted not in the cliché, prevailing paradigm of contemporary songwriting — the peaks and valleys of romantic love — but in the sensory and emotional realities of daily life: the sound of a car, the image of a loved one, the smell of a place, the feral gestures of sex. And they’re all relayed in lean, clear terms, embodying what she once told a magazine was the best writing advice she ever got: “Above all, the listener should be able to understand the poem or the song, not be forced to unravel a self-indulgent puzzle. Offer your art up to the whole world, not just an elite few.” That advice came from her dad, who has been called the Hank Williams of American poetry. In fact, Miller Williams shared a drink with the country legend just weeks prior to Hank’s death and Lucinda’s subsequent birth. One critic said, “while (Miller Williams’) poetry is taught at Princeton and Harvard, it’s read and understood by squirrel hunters and taxi drivers.” This family tradition of egalitarianism runs deep. Miller Williams’ father was a Christian minister who co-founded the Southern Tenant Farmers Union, championed women’s rights and wore a black arm band for the Vietnam War Moratorium. Miller’s college

roommate in the ’50s, “Roots” author Alex Haley’s brother George, is Lucinda’s godfather. “It’s in my blood,” says Williams, who has tussled with corporate monopoly Ticketmaster and a week before the last presidential election released a digital EP of four protest songs, three of which were covers. While not given to didactic political lyrics in her own writing, Williams cites the title track of her new album as a song that “makes a statement about things.” “Blessed” offers a list of characters who contribute to a collective spiritual or cultural shift by transcending pain and acting selflessly (“We were blessed by the battered woman/ Who didn’t seek revenge”). We’re all on the same team, the song says — an entirely political perspective in the right context. But none of the lyrics states as much. Williams is true to the old writing adage “Show, don’t tell.” “All of these people have lives, have stories,” Williams says. An immigrant selling roses outside an L.A. restaurant inspired one of the lines from “Blessed.” On a sidewalk where most folks ignored the woman, Williams bought some blue flowers and asked about her home and family. They made a real connection, the living-legend musician and the Turkish street peddler. Much has been written of her father’s influence. But Williams’ mother, Lucille, a pianist whose 2004 death inspired the bittersweet country masterpiece “Fancy Funeral” and the “huge, big writing thing” that produced her daughter’s last three albums, shaped a songwriter ultimately more interested in people than in ideologies. “I’m the kind of person, even as a child, I would be sitting next to an old woman in the train station and open up a conversation,” the singer recalls. “My mother was like that. My mother would talk to anyone, everybody.” Not long after meeting the lady of the roses, Williams spotted her again outside the same restaurant. “I saw her out there, and she saw me and smiled. She just beamed. It touched my heart,” Williams says, when something else dawns on her about “Blessed”: “That’s what that song is about. Everybody makes an impression on everybody.”

Team Eleven Eleven Productions comprises six employees. Collectively they are known as Team Eleven. “Team Eleven is a group of people working hard, who have a deep love of music, many who play music, who support music and make sure both the fans and the bands are having the best time ever that day they are on the stage or watching them perform on stage,” Becker says. Each member of Team Eleven is addicted to music in his (or her) own right. Each also brings

a set of key skills to the company. There’s Kyle Sheline, the band pleaser, the one who can somehow soothe someone who is in a murderous rage more swiftly and effectively than a round of yoga and a pot of green tea combined. There’s Drew Hall, who spearheads sound production, and Sean Wilson, who executes Internet and street marketing. Then there’s Drew James, the artist, the one who sketches and designs all of Studio Eleven’s posters, fliers and handbills. And finally there’s Amber Lord, who crafts and pores over contracts, drafts progress reports and helps with sales. And under each member’s job title is the label “miscellaneous.” Without hesitation, each will jump from one job to another whenever necessary. Lord started working for Eleven Productions in 2005. She still remembers her first day. Mogwai was playing at the Granada, and Lord was a runner for the band. She set up the green room and fetched food and drinks for band members, namely good English tea as the band is from Glasgow, Scotland.

“They were already one of my favorite bands that only make it out to the states every once in awhile,” Becker says. “I was able to interact with them and meet them as individuals and not just a band.” Later on, Lord helped Becker renovate a venue in Iowa City. And afterward Becker asked her to become a more permanent employee. “I have been with the company ever since then and it has been nothing but a blast working in this field,” Lord says. “Jacki is a boss that always puts others before her. She is constantly doing things for us and planning group outings to keep us all in sync.” Becker likes working with students who love music. She says it’s one of the major strengths of Eleven Productions. Another strength? Strong local support. “We are able to do what we do because of the strength of clubs in the area, the constant media support and the fans who inevitably seem to always be willing to throw out a few dollars to see bands in vans and buses stop in Kansas instead of just driving down I-70 to the next big city,” Becker says.

For the past week, I’ve been scouring grocery store shelves for low-sodium, DASH-approved alternatives: chicken broth, tomato soup, string cheese, V-8 juice and all manner of salt substitutes for the table.

(Do you suppose that’s how Mrs. Dash got its name?) The products aren’t difficult to find. There are, apparently, scads of Americans in the hypertensive boat searching for salt-free lifesavers. It’s not like cooking will be a huge challenge. I’ve got more spices than Carter’s got pills. What worries me is going out to eat, something we do more often than not. With the exception of fruit plates (hold the cheese) and vegetable platters (hold the butter), there aren’t an abundance of DASH-appropriate items on local menus.

What will my husband consume if not hamburgers, sweet potato fries, pub chips and ranch dressing (370 mg for a 2-ounce serving)? He’s not really a salad kind of guy, and the grilled chicken and steamed veggies thing loses its appeal after one or two orders. The only solution is to — gasp! — eat in. Cook a new kind of comfort food, like baked tilapia with roasted cauliflower and carrots to nibble in front of the fire. Fortunately, according to the Marquette University School of Medicine, there’s a silver lining to this dark cloud.

COUNTRY SINGER/SONGWRITER LUCINDA WILLIAMS has made a career off of direct, earnest music that strives to be understood by all. Williams will be at Liberty Hall, 644 Mass., at 7 p.m. Friday.

By Sarah Smarsh Special to the Journal-World

Lucinda Williams the songwriter is not overtly political. But, on a tour bus parked in Allentown, Pa., a couple of weeks before making a stop at Liberty Hall, 644 Mass., Lucinda Williams the woman talks politics. She is proud to relate that an Occupy Wall Street offshoot marched on the Wisconsin state capitol while belting her song “Joy,” a blues-rock stomp that triumphantly declares, “You took my joy/ I want it back.” It’s an apt anthem for a protest group pissed off and hungry for change. “I was really honored and proud,” she says over the phone. “So now when I sing ‘Joy’ I dedicate it to the Occupy Wall Street movement.” Williams, whose on-theroad lifestyle affords a special vantage of the sociopolitical landscape, is disturbed yet entertained by the GOP presidential-nominee candidates, befuddled by lowincome workers who support Republican tax strategies and enlivened by current sparks of unrest among the masses. “I think this is an exciting display of healthy, patriotic dissent. I haven’t seen anything like this since the protests during the Vietnam War days,” she says of the group that counts one faction in Lawrence. “It makes me feel very hopeful.” As a teenager in the 1960s, the spiky-haired lioness of altcountry cut her teeth on Bob Dylan, and today she admires the anthem-writing abilities of friend Steve Earle (“He just pops ’em out”). But, over the course of a career spanning 30 years, 10 studio albums, 14 Grammy nominations (with three wins) and at least two U.S.-led wars, she’s never been one to write protest songs. “Every time I’d try to write one, it would always sound kind of corny,” she says with a throaty laugh. “It would come out like, ‘Okaaay, brothers and sisters, everybody hold hands’ or something.” Her latest album, “Blessed,” includes one topical number: “Soldier’s Song.” Like much of her catalogue, the song took several years to coalesce from jotted rhyme to recorded track. But the song, which juxtaposes story arcs of a fallen combat warrior and his or her partner raising their child back home, is rare for its inherent commentary on current events.

Eleven CONTINUED FROM PAGE 14C

History of Eleven The seeds of Eleven Productions were planted more than a decade ago. Back then, House of Blues Entertainment had petitioned Becker to promote and coordinate shows in private venues located in the Midwest. After a brief stint, House of Blues decided not to expand in Kansas City. But Becker didn’t want to leave the music scene. There were too many good things happening. So she started her own company. Becker originally moved to Lawrence in 1998 to attend Kansas University. She majored in creative writing and political science. Then one semester the program director of KJHK told her she had a nice voice and asked her to be a DJ. Since then she has worked in the music industry in some capacity. She has been a promoter, a DJ and a music critic. Becker is a music junkie. She frequents estate sales and

For the patient’s sake and for yours, here are a few of the most common offenders and their respective sodium contents:

Lucinda Williams What: Alt-country great performs songs from throughout her career, including songs from her recent release, “Blessed.” Where: Liberty Hall, 644 Mass. When: 7 p.m. Nov. 11 Price: $28, $30, $34 “It’s kind of my anti-war song, I guess,” she says. The concept for the song — parallel universes — can be traced to Glen Campbell’s “By the Time I Get to Phoenix” and her own famous-poet father Miller Williams’ piece “Love Poem” (“We sit at the breakfast table reading the morning paper/ My wife’s making coffee/ It’s 3 a.m. in Jakarta”).

Character-driven Befitting one whose professor dad chummed around with the likes of Flannery O’Connor, Lucinda Williams is a writer’s musician. Her lyrics play with point of view, dipping heavily into the second person or, as in “Soldier’s Song,” embodying an archetype or composite character via first person. They compose long lists, rootsy in their concrete nouns and bluesy in their repetition — “Changed the Locks,” from 1988’s self-titled album and made famous by Tom Petty, amounts to six variations on the same sentence and has no bridge, an unorthodox structure that caused one recording exec to pass in the 1980s. And they realize complex characters through perfect details, as with the good man whose childhood abuse rears

attends Record Store Day (the nationwide sale on the third Saturday of every April). She goes to the annual AudioReader benefit sale and hops on the Web to sniff out new music. She listens to music on her iPod, her iPhone, her stereo, her boom box and her turntables (she owns five). “I have a pretty brutal music addiction,” Becker says. “I need it. I hear it constantly. My house and office is filled with vinyl, (and) I always love going to record stores across the country to scour the world to find vinyl.”

phrase the mother of three leaned heavily upon when losing both her father and her husband within a year of each other. She says that it wasn’t until she was an adult that she realized how her father’s choices really affected her life. Now, she honors the former amateur “junk art” maker by using salvaged items in her art. “Immediately, what came to my mind was my dad (David Thennes). He died in 1999. But when I was about 6, he moved us out to the country. I think he decided to live a more simple life. And we had a lot fewer distractions — just had a chance to have space. And there weren’t a lot of things to distract us, and I think that I ended up being able to grow up hearing my creative voice that way. He didn’t work as an artist but he made what he modestly called ‘junk art’ using found objects ... I just think the space that we had out there (near Dodge City) — you don’t have a lot other than the ground and the sky. He taught us a good work ethic and we gardened and we lear,ned how to use our hands. And the sad thing is I didn’t really come to appreciate the gift he gave me. It wasn’t until I grew up and had kids that I understood how his decisions impacted me in a positive way.”

Sally K. Davis, Arts Advocate or more than 20 years, Sally K. Davis has been a staple in the arts education programs of the Spencer Museum of Art at Kansas University. And her fingerprints there run the gamut from children’s education to senior instruction. Davis was the idea-maker behind the Docent Scholarship Fund that guarantees children can attend the museum’s “It Starts with Art!” program regardless of the child’s financial situation. She also created the “Spencer Art Minute” feature on Kansas Public Radio that allows the museum to highlight works of art from the Spencer collection in 90-second spurts. In 2005, she spearheaded the addition of the “Senior Sessions” art education program for senior citizens.

“I don’t call my parents mentors, but I call them inspirations or guides. My parents (Ralph and Edna Kniffin), both of them, were active in their community well in their mid-80s. And consequently, I’ve just always done a lot of volunteer work. And I have to say that they’re really my inspiration, because I really think you should be active in your community. ... And I just think when you have parents who were always doing something, you just think that’s what you should do. You should get out there and participate, and it’s brought me lots of happiness.”

Kate Dinneen, Exceptional Artistic Achievement ate Dinneen is an arts volunteer (Van Go Mobile Arts), educator (teaching KU students) and musician (the stand-up bass and the hammer dulcimer). But first and foremost, she’s an artist with an unusual art: blacksmithing. Dinneen has been a blacksmith since 1994 and in that time has created pieces across town, including works at Free State Brewery, Tellers Restaurant and Wheatfield’s Cafe and Bakery, and just out of town at the entrance to the Black Jack Battlefield site near Baldwin City. Moreover, her work can be seen on the new iron gates

of Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre in London. “There have been many influential people in my life. Walt Hull of Walt Hull Iron Work introduced me into the world and art of blacksmithing, which gave me the chance to meet Uri Hofi, Peter Parkinson and Terrence Clark, all master smiths who have had a major impact on my work. ... However, the person who gave me the courage to take a different approach to being a grown-up was Mrs. Wilbur, English teacher extraordinaire at West Junior High here in Lawrence. Her positive response to my eighth-grade creative writing work encouraged me to explore my creative side and gave me permission to ‘color outside the lines.’”

Rose Lawson, Volunteer in the Arts or nearly 20 years, Rose Lawson has been a volunteer usher at the Lied Center of Kansas. She’s won the center’s “Usher of the Year” award three times, and was selected for the center’s usher advisory board in 2006. Lawson makes sure to help out with events across the board at the Lied, including the school performances that the center puts on for more than 7,000 children each year. Her warm personality is palatable to those who have met her smile while attending events there.

“Jackie (Jacqueline Z.) Davis, which is the original lady at the Lied Center. I knew her in Murphy Hall. ... She just was on top of everything. And very friendly, very outgoing. And always had time to listen. She recognized people, she didn’t ignore people, walk past them. I thought she was a great lady. She left for New York at least eight or 10 years ago. I worked in Murphy Hall, which was theater and music and I knew her in there before, while the Lied Center was being built. She was just a great person.”

Susan Ralston, Educator in the Arts he ladies theme this year is extra fitting for Susan Ralston, whose husband won the Phoenix Award for Musical Arts back in 2003. Eight years later, it’s her turn. Ralston spent 38 years teaching vocal music, including 32 years in the Lawrence Public Schools. She also worked with the Lawrence Children’s Choir, within KU’s Department of Music Education and at Trinity Episcopal Church.

“My greatest mentor, the most influential mentor, was a lady named Judy Bond from Northfield, Minn. She was my teacher for my level 1 ORFF certification program. ORFF is a philosophy of teaching music to children by singing, playing instruments, moving, listening, creating and improvising. It was during this course — it was a two-week course that I took in the late 1980s — that I think I finally understood the pedagogy of teaching to a child. Before that, I taught (laughs) children, but I didn’t think I quite understood the actual art of teaching. ... She showed me so many ways to work with a child in music. She not only talked the talk — she lectured — but she also showed (it) and she walked the walk in front of us and would demonstrate. I think probably the thing that impressed me the most about her was her kindness and respect for children, for the child. And I think of all the teachers that I’ve had, her mental approach to children and teaching probably made the greatest impact on me.” — Staff writer Sarah Henning can be reached at 832-7187.

NEW YORK — “Writers,” Joan Didion observed in 1968, “are always selling somebody out.” It’s one of those classic Didion statements, epigrammatic yet personal, a line that unpacks itself the more we consider what it implies. Didion may have been referring to journalism when she wrote that in the preface to “Slouching Towards Bethlehem,” but she was also, as directly as can be imagined, addressing herself. “My only advantage as a reporter is that I am so physically small, so temperamentally unobtrusive and so neurotically inarticulate that people tend to forget that my presence runs counter to their best interests. And it always does,” she acknowledged earlier in the same paragraph, and it is this clarity, this edge of laser-sharp engagement, that sets her apart. For nearly 50 years now, her work has been defined by what she calls “triangulation,” which is a way of explaining how she asserts herself in a piece of writing — to tell a reader where she is. This question of presence, of triangulation, has come up on a Thursday afternoon in Didion’s comfortably cluttered Upper East Side living room because she is discussing her new book, “Blue Nights” (Alfred A. Knopf: 188 pp., $25), which, she is saying, she almost didn’t write. “There came a time,” she recalls, her voice a low murmur, “when I decided I would simply repay the money I had gotten from Knopf. I told Lynn Nesbit that this was my plan, that I was going to tell Sonny I couldn’t do it, and we would repay him. And Lynn said, ‘Why don’t you wait on that awhile?’” Didion laughs softly at the idea of her agent, Nesbit, returning an advance to Knopf editor-in-chief Sonny Mehta, but at the center of the story, her discomfort is real. “Blue Nights” is a follow-up to her

Donna Ward/Abaca Press

AUTHOR JOAN DIDION, shown at a premiere on Oct. 6, has written a new book, “Blue Nights,” which is a follow-up to her critically acclaimed memoir “The Year of Magical Thinking.” memoir “The Year of Magical Thinking,” which, built around the mantra “Life changes fast. Life changes in the instant,” describes the aftermath of two very personal tragedies: the death of her husband, John Gregory Dunne, of a heart attack in December 2003, and the extended illness of their daughter Quintana, who died at 39 in August 2005, just before the book came out. In this new work, Didion tries to tell Quintana’s story, intercut with reflections on aging (she’ll turn 77 in December) and what she worries is a diminishment of her creative power. “I was having a terrible time with it at first,” she continues, “because I didn’t want to talk about Quintana for a lot of reasons. I didn’t want to talk about her because I didn’t want to talk about her. And the second reason was I didn’t know if I had the right to talk about her. It was her life, not mine. So that got in the way for a long time.” What’s at issue here, in an apartment full of family photos and mementos, is permission, or maybe it’s that, after all this time, Didion has become the reporter who triangulates herself. That’s

the challenge, and the risk, of memoir, and if she has always been a personal writer, with her last three books — “Blue Nights,” ‘‘The Year of Magical Thinking” and 2003’s “Where I Was From,” which she thinks of as “the California book” — she has shifted focus, in large measure, from the outer to the inner world. At the heart of these three efforts is a sense of family; or better yet, a sense of place. In “Where I Was From,” that place is physical, whereas in the later books it becomes psychological; still, for all intents and purposes, the perspective is the same. “The books are similar in that they ask more questions than they answer,” Didion says. And yet, with each, she has zeroed in more tightly, moving from a subjective portrait of California to her husband and now to her child. “In a certain way,” she notes of “Blue Nights,” “‘Magical Thinking’ was more generalized; it’s a whole different tone. I decided that maybe I ought to do something really personal, that I hadn’t done anything really personal in ‘Magical Thinking,’ and maybe it was time to try.” That’s an unexpected observation: How much more personal

can you get than to trace the death of a husband, the disruption of a family? But as is often true of Didion, there’s an undercurrent beneath the surface of the words. “I hadn’t dealt with Quintana,” she suggests. “I had dealt with her to some extent in the play” — Didion adapted “The Year of Magical Thinking” for the stage in 2007, as a onewoman show starring Vanessa Redgrave — “but the play (was) a ... way of preserving myself at a distance. Because as I say in the book, watching that play on 45th Street at night was one moment during the day when Quintana did not necessarily die.” What Didion’s talking about is narrative, which is, she understands, an inadequate consolation — “sentimental,” she calls it in her 1989 essay “Pacific Distances” — although, perhaps, the only consolation we have. “We tell ourselves stories in order to live,” she begins “The White Album,” then undercuts the sentiment almost immediately: “Or at least we do for a while.” Implicit in those lines is a recognition of the fundamental friction between the shaping impulses of literature and the chaos of the world. “It’s just a tension you never resolve,” Didion explains, eyes pale, unwavering. “I think I was writing ‘Democracy’ (her 1984 novel) when it came to me that, as well as I might describe the palm trees, it wasn’t going to get me anywhere.” That’s especially true of “Blue Nights,” which, by its nature, cannot help but remain unresolved. Like “The Year of Magical Thinking,” it’s an example of the book as coping mechanism, of an author using language to “maintain movement,” as Didion puts it, “otherwise you couldn’t function. It’s a necessary mask.” Like “The Year of Magical Thinking,” it is written almost entirely in fragments, as if it would otherwise be impossible to make all these impressions coalesce. “Memories are what you no longer want to remember,” Didion writes about a third of the way through the book, and it’s one of those lines that resonates because it hints at both the futility and the inescapability of the task. “A big part of the book is how to function. It’s a lesson on how to function,” she says flatly. “Because otherwise you would not be able to get through the day, the week.”

Oz’s new work redolent of Chekhov By John Timpane The Philadelphia Inquirer

PHILADELPHIA — Amos Oz is one of the best-known people in all Israel, one of the world’s best-known writers, and author of the newly published “Scenes From Village Life.” He’s also often mentioned in connection with the Nobel Prize. Problem: With all that freight on the name Amos Oz, people expect everything you write to be about Israel. Oz isn’t thrilled, but he understands. “Any literature from a troubled part of the world is bound to be read as an allegory about life in that part of the world,” he says, speaking by phone from New York. “But my book is not an allegory. It’s more about the human condition in general: love, loss, loneliness, longing” — he pauses, as if to switch alliterative consonants — “death, desire and desolation. These are stories of people who have lost something.” The title, “Scenes From Village Life,” deliberately echoes the subtitle of Anton Chekhov’s play “Uncle Vanya.” The Russian writers of the 19th and early 20th century were a huge inspiration for the young Oz, working on a kibbutz and trying to be a writer. When Oz, now 72, de-

scribes what he loves about Chekhov, he also delineates his new novel: “Chekhov described very provincial people in small places far away from big cities, towns known only by a letter, such as M. or N.,” Oz says. “Those small people display the entire spectrum of comedy and tragedy. But with this difference: At the conclusion of a tragedy by Chekhov, everyone is disappointed — but still alive.” “Scenes” is set in a small Israeli village named Tel Ilan (Tree Hill), “one of those older Jewish villages,” Oz says, “that far predate Israel itself.” Too closely bound to be called a collection of short tales, Scenes is better called a novel-in-stories. The reader gets to know Tel Ilan very well. Time and again, characters walk by the bus stop or by the water tower “on its concrete legs.” One reader in the Netherlands sent Oz a sketched-out map of Tel Ilan. “It was so vivid in her head,” he says, “that she felt she could draw it.” The eight stories in “Scenes” cohere tightly. A view of human life hums like a distant generator beneath the surface. Disappointment, in its many meanings,

is a constant presence. It’s an Oz specialty, a theme he has made part of postmodern literature. People expect something and get either nothing or something unexpected. “Everyone,” says Oz, “is looking for something he is hiding from himself.” (“Winesburg, Ohio,” by Sherwood Anderson, is mentioned. Oz’s voice brightens as he says, “That book inspired me to be a writer, perhaps more than any other.”) In the exquisite “Relations,” Gili Steiner awaits her beloved nephew, Gideon Gat. She has even cooked dinner — a dinner she will throw in the trash. In the heartbreaking “Waiting,” Benny Avni, village mayor, searches for his wife, Nava. Like all the stories, neither “Relations” nor “Waiting” explains itself, disappointing a certain kind of reader, who wants fast, sharp action and unmistakable meanings. That’s not the universe of “Scenes,” though. Even the natural world is indeterminate, as in “Strangers”: “It was evening. A bird called twice. What it meant there was no way of telling.” In “Digging,” people hear a noise under Rachel Franco’s house. Above the floor, people debate Arab

and Israeli relations. But who’s digging? Rachel looks. She peers with a flashlight into the darkness — a repeated image (people forever looking in rooms, under beds). “The truth of these stories isn’t the point,” Oz says. “The point is the open-endedness. This is where we live.” The word oz means “strength” in Hebrew. Young Amos Klausner changed his last name when he started living on a kibbutz. It was among the many changes for the young man, who broke from the rightward Zionism of his parents to become a Labor Zionist. “I was very concerned in those days to break from my father and his politics,” he says. His experience in the 1967 Six-Day War between Israel and its Arab neighbors led him to become one of the earliest prominent exponents of “the two-state solution.” Characteristically, he says that solution “is not the best, but it is the only one possible. Neither the Palestinians nor the Israelis are going anywhere. Neither have anywhere to go. They must divide the house, into two semidetached apartments. The day they do will be a bitter day.” If it’s inevitable, why hasn’t it happened? “I would say the patient is sadly ready for surgery, but the surgeons are cowards,” he says.

Not your typical ghost stories By Tish Wells McClatchy Newspapers

“Chinese Ghost Stories: Curious Tales of the Supernatural” will broaden your appreciation of the supernatural. Lafcadio Hearn was a Victorian-era writer who, after a long colorful life, ended up in Asia, spending the last 14 years in Japan. An Irishman, he was a journalist, fiction writer and poet with a taste for the eerie. Working off various translations from the Chinese, he wrote ghost stories that are very different from the European or American variety. Instead of terrifying ghosts who bedevil their victims, Hearn’s spirits are more aligned with Asian culture, with an emphasis on filial piety, self-sacrifice and death. A more traditional ghost story to Western eyes is “The Story of Ming Yi” where a young up-andcoming scholar becomes a tutor for a noble family. On a trip back to his home, he falls in love with a beautiful woman living at a country estate named Xie. Their dalliance leads to the first lie: He says to his employer that his mother requests that he go home each night. This allows Ming Yi spend each night with Xie. Sooner or later his family and employer figure this out, accost him, and he explains. Doing a little research, they find out that the beauteous Xie was a famous courtesan who had died centuries before. Hearn himself worked off earlier translations from the Chinese by others. His slightly florid writing style is that of Yates, Shelley and Bram Stoker, famous for writing “Dracula.”

Promoter marks 10th anniversary by taking it to 11 By Chansi Long Special to the Journal-World

Jacki Becker could rattle off a lengthy list of bands she has enjoyed working with over the past 10 years — Murder by Death, Minus the Bear, Death Cab for Cutie, Every Time I Die — on and on the list would grow. But Becker, owner of Eleven Productions, says that list would invariably be truncated because she has enjoyed working with too many musicians to name. “After 10 years we have been lucky that the majority of the bands we work with, we love working with,” Becker says. And Becker will work with a batch of her favorite bands again Nov. 11 for an event that commemorates Eleven

Productions’ first decade of existence. Murder by Death is among more than three dozen bands that will play at a plethora of venues scattered across town. When Becker realized her studio would turn 10 this year, the idea for an anniversary party began to bloom. Then it occurred to her that, it being 2011, November would contain a trifecta of elevens: 11.11.11. And so, in homage to “This is Spinal Tap” and what her production company represents, she decided to turn it up to 11 and organize a citywide music fest that features six venues and a trove of local, regional and national musicians who will play at different times throughout the night.

Hello fall, so long comfort food How I love the first real cold snap of fall! Logs crackling in the fireplace, plush polyester Snuggie covering my legs, pot of tomato soup with Goldfish crackers at the ready. I love it all! I’m crazy about cold-weather clothing. Gone are the skin-revealing styles of summer. My pasty arms, legs and feet go into hiding for six glorious months. The layered look — a middleaged woman’s BFF — roars back with a vengeance. After all, is there anything better for that unsightly turkey gullet than an oversized turtleneck that covers you up to your ears? Feeling extra jowly? Try a mile-long muffler wrapped around your neck. Go ahead, try two! They work wonders for the chin line. Speaking of scarves, is there an accessory in the world more versatile?
