All of the housing credits are for equipment that is installed and used in 2011. And the upgrades have to be made for the homeowner’s principal residence and can’t be applied to rental properties. There is also a $500 lifetime limit on the tax credit. So, if you took full advantage of last year’s $1,500 tax credit, you won’t be eligible. The tax credits also don’t include installation and labor costs. With the help of information

TOPEKA — Florida’s loss may be Lawrence’s gain. When Florida Gov. Rick Scott rejected $2.4 billion in federal funds to build a high-speed rail project in his state, federal officials put the money up for grabs for other states. Kansas was one of 24 states, along with Amtrak, to submit an application for a portion of the funding. The Kansas application would be for $1.1 million and would go toward renovation and restoration of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe depot. It would be The application was made by the Kansas wonderful if all our Department of Trans- ships came in.” portation and would include a match of $283,786 from the city of — Carey Maynard-Moody of Depot Redux, which has Lawrence. “KDOT was very excit- applied for part of a $2.4 ed and supportive of sub- billion federal fund for rail mitting an application for projects our project,” said Carey Maynard-Moody, president of Depot Redux, which is wanting to restore the depot at Seventh and New Jersey streets. “If this money is available, it would just be a dream come true,” she said. After Florida’s governor canceled a project that would have connected Tampa and Orlando with high-speed trains, U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood opened the funding up to other projects that could deliver public and economic benefits. The department received 90 applications totaling more than $10 billion. Among those was a proposal from Amtrak for $1.3 billion to improve service between Boston and Washington, D.C. The state of Missouri applied for nearly $1 billion in funding for high-speed rail service between St. Louis and Kansas City. “What we heard from the feds is that they got tons more applications than they had money,” said Steve Swartz, spokesman for KDOT. No date has been determined on when the projects will be selected but Maynard-Moody was hopeful. “It would be wonderful if all our ships came in,” she said.

Prairie Moon recognized as one of the most eco-friendly in state By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

Students at Prairie Moon Waldorf School used a recent sunny day to work in their own gardens. “It’s fun,” said Finn Veerkamp, a second-grader, as he brushed the dirt from his hands. He was planting red romaine lettuce and basil. Each student has a 3-foot by 3-foot area of land at the rural Lawrence school, and he or she is completely in charge of it. Starra Zweygardt, a seventh-grader, was using a ruler to measure how deep to plant the seeds for chard. She also

had a map of her garden plot that she had drawn in class. “It’s been pretty easy,” she said of gardening. “But, if you don’t take care of it, it’s not that easy.” She recalled having to pluck a bunch of tiny weeds that had sprouted in her garden last year after she was gone for a period of time. “That was really hard,” she said. Nearby, fourth-grader Will Farwell was building a trellis Please see PRAIRIE MOON, page 2A

Energy-efficient upgrades still have tax benefit By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

From windows to wind turbines, tax credits give homeowners an extra incentive to make energy-efficient home improvements. The sweet deals of 2010 — where homeowners could receive a maximum tax credit of $1,500 — are gone. The tax laws for 2011 reverted to the incentives of 2006 and 2007, which cover up to 10 percent of the cost of improvements with a $500 cap. For certain kinds of

improvements, such as windows, heaters and air conditioners, the maximums are lower, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. While it’s not the $1,500 of 2010, local energy auditor Sarajane Koch of Scott Temperature said it does help. For instance, the $500 limit can be met through a $300 tax credit for an air conditioner, a $150 tax credit for a furnace and a $50 tax credit for circulating fan. In the past 15 months, Koch said she saw more homeowners go with higher efficiency mod-

els because the $1,500 tax credit helped cover the difference. The $500 lifetime limit doesn’t apply to all energy-efficiency projects. The more costly improvements of installing geothermal heat pumps, solar water heaters, solar panels, fuel cells and wind generators are eligible for a 30 percent tax credit and have no upper limit. These credits are good until 2016. That’s good news, Koch said because projects such as installing geothermal heat pumps can cost between $15,000 to $40,000.

School district seeks savings in diploma-completion program By Mark Fagan mfagan@ljworld.com

The Lawrence school district plans to end its contract with her employer, relocate her office and advertise her job as an opening that hasn’t formally been announced yet. And Sharen Steele’s all for it.

“It’s a real wise move,” said Steele, project coordinator for the Lawrence Diploma Completion Program, operated by the South Central Kansas Education Service Center. “Now, all the money will stay in the district.” A tentative plan calls for the Lawrence school district to take control of the local diploma-completion pro-

instead of contract personnel, the district would anticipate saving about $215,000 next year. “It’s a very important program, and if we can offer the same service less expensively — by having the providers be our own employees — that’s great,” said Mary Loveland, a member of the Lawrence school board.

from the Department of Energy (energystar.gov), we made a cheat sheet on what tax credits are available for 2011.

Windows, doors, skylights Homeowners can get up to 10 percent off the cost of the windows, skylights and doors that carry the ENERGY STAR label. The credit is good for up to $200 of the cost of windows and skylights and $500 for doors. To qualify, not all the windows, doors or skylights in your home have to be replaced and they don’t even have to be replacements for old ones, so products that are used on additions would qualify. Insulation, weather stripping Tax credits are available for 10 percent of the cost of insulation or weather-stripping products with a $500 cap. The tax credits cover typical insulation products such as batts, rolls, blow-in fibers and expanding sprays. It also covers weather-stripping materials, cans of spray foam, caulking and house wrap. Homeowners can get the credit if they install the insulation or do the air sealing themselves. Water heaters A $300 tax credit is available for water heaters that have an energy factor of .82 or a thermal efficiency of at least 90 percent. The Department of Energy has a list of tankless water heaters that qualify. There aren’t any residential storage tank water heaters or gas condensing water heaters on the market right now that qualify for the tax credit. There is also a $300 tax credit for electric heat pump water heaters that have an energy factor of 2.0. Electric storage tanks and electric tankless water heaters do not qualify.

Furnaces and boilers A $150 tax credit is available for furnaces and boilers that have an annual fuel utilization efficiency rating (AFUE) of 95 or greater. The Department of Energy doesn’t have a list of all the heating products that qualify for the tax credit, but the Air-Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute keeps track of products that do. You can search its website at ahrinet.org. There is also a $300 tax credit for air source heat pumps and a $50 tax credit for an advanced main air circulating fan. Central air conditioners A $300 tax credit is available for central air conditioners, but you will most likely have to replace your furnace as well to qualify. The Department of Energy doesn’t have a user-friendly list of what central air conditioners qualify, so the best way to find out what earns a tax credit is to check with your contractor. Biomass stoves Stoves that use biomass, such as trees, wood, grass or agricultural crops, can earn a $300 tax credit. The stove must have a thermal efficiency rating of at least 75 percent. Roofs Homeowners can receive 10 percent of the cost of a new roof. The tax credit is capped at $500. The tax credit is aimed at reflective roofs, which are best used for homes that are in hot sunny climates and use air conditioning frequently. What’s not covered Here’s a list of what isn’t covered under the government’s tax credits: ceiling fans, washers, dryers, compact fluorescent light bulbs, dehumidifiers, dishwashers, electric furnaces and boilers, swamp coolers, lighting fixtures, ovens, programmable thermostats, refrigerators, room air conditioners, TVs and toilets. — Reporter Christine Metz can be reached at 832-6352.

out of sticks for his peas to climb, and fifth-grader Addi Lybarger was planting forgetme-nots. Kris Carlson, first- and second-grade teacher, said the garden is incorporated into classroom lessons on reading, writing, math, music and art. For example, Carlson said he recently told the Irish folktale about how ragweed got its name. His students also painted pictures of a seed germinating under the earth and reaching up. “They are hearing it, seeing it, doing it,” he said, while eating lunch outside on a wooden picnic table.

Hands-on school Prairie Moon’s curriculum is just one of the many reasons the school was named “Kansas Green School of the Year” by the Kansas Association for Conservation and Environmental Education. Shari Wilson, director of the Kansas Green Schools program for KACEE, applauded the school for the way its curriculum incorporates nature and environment, and for how it uses the garden. “It’s not about just sitting in a classroom, but it’s also about being outdoors and learning some life skills,” she said. Prairie Moon, the state’s only Waldorf school, was established in 2001 and opened in 2003. It is located on seven acres of land just northeast of Lawrence Municipal Airport. It has about 60 children, ranging from ages 3 to 13. “Waldorf schools are very hands-on schools,” said Rick Mitchell, a founder of Prairie

While many of district’s proposed changes for next year would involve getting along with less — such as dipping into contingency funds, foregoing some purchases, and not filling certain jobs at each of the district’s high schools — assuming control of the diploma-completion program wouldn’t cut any service at all.

Immediate needs ● Deerfield School is in search of community volunteers to help out with its annual Deerfield Carnival on May 14. Volunteers are needed to help set up the day before and the day of the event. The carnival proves to be a fun event, but it requires a lot of hands on deck. If you’re available to help, contact Andria Devlin at 749-9518 or deerfieldpto@hotmail.com. ● Trinity In-Home Care is looking for volunteers for its Discovery program. Discovery is a fun, social program for teens and adults with mild to moderate disabilities; participants enjoy activities such as dance lessons, eating out, video games, art projects, cooking, movies, community events, etc., on the third Monday of each month from about 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Volunteers are Moon. “The slogan is head, heart and hands, and we do those things in equal parts.” Prairie Moon also has a large garden, called Okanis, where produce is grown and sold to local grocery stores and restaurants. It also is taken to homeless shelters. Last year, the garden provided about 250 pounds of produce. Mitchell is the garden coordinator, but students, teachers and Lawrence community volunteers help out. “We have a lot of great partnerships,” Mitchell said. Prairie Moon is working in cooperation with Kansas University’s Native Medicinal Plant Research Garden, which is adjacent to the school. This year, students will be planting and maintaining a tea garden on the KU land and will work with KU students and researchers. The students also designed and built a big tool shed for their expanding garden projects. Thirteen-year-old Starra estimated it took about three months from start to finish. She said they worked on it every morning as part of their main lesson. It’s another example of how traditional subjects — like math, reading, writing and physical education — are taught differently at Prairie Moon. “We don’t do outcomesbased education because we don’t have an outcome in mind,” Mitchell said. “We want children to develop into the people they are, but do it in a way where they are completely responsible to the community.”

Recycling and beyond Besides its garden projects, the school is green in other ways. Nick Matthews, a fifthgrader, pointed out how the school saves money on its

needed to engage and support program participants, including providing transportation to activities. Experience with people with disabilities is preferred, and a background check will be conducted on all potential volunteers. Contact Scott Criqui at 842-31 59 or scott@tihc.org for more information. ● The Parent Autism Support Group of the Easter Seals Capper Foundation is in need of volunteers to help out at its Statewide Autism Awareness Carnival on Sunday. The event will be from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Tecumseh Park in Tecumseh, approximately 20 minutes west of Lawrence. Volunteers are needed for setup, cleanup, carnival games, sensory games, traffic control and many other fun things. This statewide event will raise public awareness about autism while providing a funfilled day to the public. Contact Mari White at 766-6632 for more details on how you can get involved. water bill. It has a system that guides rainwater from the roof into two 450-gallon barrels. The rainwater is then used for the Okanis garden. During a steady rain, it takes only 20 minutes to fill the barrels. Other green efforts include: ● Recycling. The school recycles everything that the Lawrence Recycling Center accepts. ● Composting. Faculty, staff and students compost garden waste, food scraps, leaves and yard trimmings. ● Classroom materials. The school only uses natural materials such as wood, wool, cotton, silk, sand, beeswax and clay. ● Food. When possible, the school uses local organic ingredients in snacks and lunches. Prairie Moon was one of three schools named a “Kansas Green School of the Year.” The others were Hesston Elementary School and Tomahawk Elementary School in the Shawnee Mission school district. The awards were presented during a ceremony April 1 in Topeka. “These schools really are models for how all of us can be more green,” said Wilson, of KACEE. The state organization will present the students at Prairie Moon with a big green banner on May 7. “The green school award is not just based on what the adults are doing, but what the students are doing and their involvement is really important for a school to even be considered for the award,” Wilson said. “We value their contribution.”

High School. “They get a completed transcript and a GPA,” Steele said. “The diplomas look like any other diploma given to any other graduating senior.” Next year, the program would be located in a district building, saving $23,000 on rent. Employees would use district equipment, saving $3,000 on leasing costs. And, perhaps most significant, the district likely would use existing administrative personnel to oversee the program, an expense now budgeted by the contractor at $100,000 for “administrative fees” and another $20,000 for “diploma program administrator.” The South Central Kansas

near Wichita and in several other smaller districts in the state, budgeted $600,000 to operate the Lawrence program this year. The Lawrence district figures it could assume all the responsibilities, and hire the existing Lawrence staff, and still come out $215,000 ahead. “This is a real smart move,” said Steele, who retired after 15 years as principal at New York School before taking on the diploma-completion job. “We have been running it and have a well-oiled machine. It speaks well for the program. Hopefully, we’ll be hired on to continue.” — Schools reporter Mark Fagan can be reached at 832-7188.

Leaders: Gadhafi OKs cease-fire plan A delegation of African leaders said Sunday that their Libyan counterpart, Moammar Gadhafi, accepted their “road map” for a cease-fire with rebels, whom they will meet today. They met hours after NATO airstrikes battered Gadhafi’s tanks, helping Libyan rebels push back government troops who had been advancing quickly toward the opposition’s eastern stronghold. The terms of the African Union’s road map were unclear — such as whether it would require Gadhafi to pull his troops out of cities as rebels have demanded. “We have completed our mission with the brother leader, and the brother leader’s delegation has accepted the road map as presented by us,” said South African President Jacob Zuma. He traveled to Tripoli with the heads of Mali and Mauritania to meet with Gadhafi, whose more than 40-year rule has been threatened by the uprising that began nearly two months ago.

U.N., French fire on leader’s residence United Nations and French helicopters fired rockets on strongman Laurent Gbagbo’s residence on Sunday in an assault the U.N. said was to retaliate for attacks by his forces on U.N. headquarters and civilians. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said he had authorized the strikes, accusing Gbagbo of using heavy weapons against Ivory Coast civilians and the U.N. forces trying to protect them. Residents from nearby neighborhoods reported seeing two U.N. Mi-24 attack helicopters and a French helicopter open fire on the residence, where Gbagbo is holed up in a bunker. The residents couldn’t be named for fear of reprisal. An Associated Press reporter saw the helicopters take off from the French military base followed minutes later by explosions coming from the direction of the residence. Successive waves of French helicopters took off from the base in the following hours, and additional bombardments could be heard. 3 | IOWA

Tornado devastates part of town The tornado that struck the evening before damaged more than half of Mapleton, a town of 1,200 in western Iowa, Mayor Fred Standa said Sunday. He estimated about 20 percent of the town was “almost flat.” The huge, centuries-old trees the town was named for had been pulled out of the ground and wrapped around houses and tossed on top of cars, Standa said. In one case, a huge motor home had been flipped on its side. The tornado destroyed 12 to 15 blocks in the southwest corner of Mapleton when it struck about 7:20 p.m. Saturday, Monona County Sheriff Jeff Pratt said. The tornado destroyed about 100 homes beyond repair, and has displaced an estimated 500 to 600 residents, he said. The tornado was on the ground for three and a half miles and measured three-quarters of a mile wide at one point, according to the National Weather Service office in Valley, Neb. The twister was measured to be on the lower end of an EF3, which carries wind speeds of 136 to 165 mph. 4 | PERU

DE SOTO HIGH SCHOOL ART TEACHER TIM MISPAGEL works on the head of St. Benedict in his home studio. Mispagel was commissioned by Benedictine College, his alma mater, to create a sculpture of the saint and the school mascot, a raven.

De Soto teacher creates sculpture for alma mater By Laura Herring lherring@desotoexplorer.com

For the past several months, Tim Mispagel has been a busy man. In addition to his duties as a full-time art teacher at De Soto High School and his obligations as a husband and father to three, he has been creating an 8-foot-tall bronze sculpture for Benedictine College, his alma mater. Mispagel, who graduated from Benedictine in 1993 and has been teaching at DHS for the past 10 years, unveiled the finished sculpture at a special ceremony last month on the school’s campus in Atchison. “This sculpture is the biggest thing I’ve done in my art career,” Mispagel said. “I’m very honored that I was able to give back to my alma mater and excited to be a part of its growth.”

Doing his research Mispagel began the project by making a small version in clay after doing extensive research on what kind of man St. Benedict was and what his life would have been like. Because there are no accurate depictions of the saint, Mispagel read biographies and descriptions of him. He also visited St. Benedict’s Abbey to observe the monks there and to see what Benedict’s habit looked like. “In my research I learned that St. Benedict was a very centered person, a very strong person,” Mispagel said. “I wanted to portray a strong figure. … I wanted to avoid any signs of frailty.” Once the small version of the sculpture was completed, Mispagel had the model scanned, enlarged and carved Please see SCULPTURE, page 5A

An anti-establishment military man who promises to redistribute Peru’s wealth won the most votes in Sunday’s presidential election and will face the daughter of imprisoned former President Alberto Fujimori in a runoff, unofficial results showed. Keiko Fujimori, 35, could easily be favored over Ollanta Humala in the June 5 runoff as Humala was the only candidate advocating altering Peru’s free market-oriented status quo with a greater state role in the economy. The ex-army lieutenant colonel also won the first round in Peru’s 2006 presidential vote but was defeated 53 percent to 47 percent by Alan Garcia in a runoff widely considered a rebuff to Venezuela’s leftist president, Hugo Chavez, who had openly backed him. This time, Humala distanced himself from Chavez, while Fujimori backed away from vows she made to pardon her father when he was convicted in 2009 of approving death squad killings and sentenced to 25 years in prison.

Lawrence’s largest running event is fast approaching. At least 900 runners and walkers from 25 states will be hitting the pavement Sunday in east Lawrence — rain or shine. Some are coming from as far away as California and New York. They will be participating in one of three races that will benefit Health Care Access clinic, which serves uninsured, lowincome Douglas County residents. So far, there are: ● 234 people — participating in the 5K (3.2 miles). ● 136 — in the 10K (6.2 miles).

kbritt@jworld.com

● 558— in the half-marathon

(13.1 miles).

Race details: The races start and finish at Haskell Indian Nations University stadium, near 23rd Street and Barker Avenue. The half-marathon begins at 7:30 a.m., and the 5K and 10K start at 7:45 a.m. The 5K runners will start crossing the finish line about 8:05 a.m. All of the courses are flat this year. The halfmarathon route goes through downtown Lawrence. Sally Monahan Zogry, Health Care Access development direc-

tor and event coordinator, said she hopes the Lawrence community packs Haskell Stadium to cheer on the participants during their final lap around the track. “We would love people to come out and watch if they aren’t participating,” she said. Then, everyone is invited to the free after-race party.

● Awards ceremony starts at 10:30 a.m.

Party details: ● 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. near the stadium. ● Food and beverages from various vendors. ● Music provided by a live band, Menage of Twang. ● Kids zone full of activities. ● 1-mile fun run for all ages starts at 9:30 a.m.

Last year, 1,728 people participated in the event and raised $50,000 for Health Care Access. The clinic provides medical care for about 1,500 patients each year.

Still time to sign up: ● Until 1 p.m. Friday — at kansasmarathon.com. ● 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday, Hy-Vee Food Store, 4000 W. Sixth St. ● 6 a.m.-7 a.m. Sunday, at Haskell Stadium.

Baskets of goodies raffled for library

Wildfire brings disaster declaration

In celebration of National Library Week, the Lawrence Public Library Foundation will have its third annual “Win a Basket” fundraiser this week. Groups of friends, local businesses and other library supporters have created more than 20 themed baskets for this event, each valued at $100 or more. For a $2 suggested donation, patrons can enter to win a basket. For online donations, the minimum suggested donation is $10 for six chances to win. The baskets are on display today through Sunday in the Lawrence Public Library lobby, 707 Vt. They can also be viewed online at lawrencepub liclibraryfoundation.org. Drawings for winners will be Sunday. All proceeds will benefit the library.

Gov. Sam Brownback declared a state of disaster emergency Sunday for Ellsworth and Saline counties because of a large wildfire, according to a news release from the Kansas adjutant general’s office. The fire burned several thousand acres across Ellsworth County on Sunday afternoon and threatened the communities of Bavaria and Brookville in Saline County. Several campers were evacuated from Kanopolis Lake in Ellsworth County as a precaution. The Kansas Highway Patrol provided aerial support to

search for four hikers who were later found safe. KHP helicopters were used to continue to look for hot spots Sunday night. Also Sunday, a wildfire burned approximately 6,000 acres in northwestern Reno County and threatened several homes. Firefighters were getting that fire under control around 7 p.m. On Saturday, a grass fire in Greeley and Wallace counties was reported to the Kansas Division of Emergency Management. It started as a controlled burn south of the Greeley-Wallace county line. Two firefighters were injured, and two mobile homes were lost along with a metal hay barn at a dairy.

Exhibit showcases unique side of Kansas history By Maria Sudekum Fisher Associated Press Writer

KANSAS CITY, MO. — Kansas has been highlighting its 150th anniversary with plenty of exhibits detailing the long march from shallow Permian sea to agri-industrial state. But a little exhibition across the state line in Missouri veers away from the usual list of Kansas notables — Dwight Eisenhower, Amelia Earhart, wheat, tornados — and trumpets some lesser known characters like oilman Harry Sinclair, businessman Woody Hockaday and the very odd physician, John R. Brinkley. “Cowboys, Quacks, and Carousels: Stories of Kansas,” a free exhibit at the National Archives at Kansas City, runs through May 28. It takes a look at Kansas history

Wichita to consider $38K settlement WICHITA — The Wichita City Council will consider Tuesday whether to pay $37,500 to settle a lawsuit stemming from the 2008 arrest of a man suspected of writing a bad check. The Wichita Eagle reported that a man jumped out of a suspect’s car that was being trailed and ran. The lawsuit says officers repeatedly kicked and used a stun gun on Justin Roberts, of Pratt County, after he was found hiding under a children’s swimming pool. The suit say that Roberts asked for medical help but that the officers laughed at the request. Roberts was taken to jail, and from there to a hospital. Doctors said he had injuries including broken ribs. The city has said at least one officer had used a stun gun on Roberts, but it denied other claims.

“I think it has an opportunity to grow an area of the state,” he said. Lea Ann Seiler, economic development director for Hodgeman County, said she will use the new law to promote her area. “From an economic development standpoint, we think it will be wonderful,” Seiler said. Like many rural counties, Hodgeman, which has a population of about 2,000, has already put in place incentives to lure people, including providing some funds for people who build new homes. Seiler said she hoped the student loan repayment provision would bring in some recent graduates, although she said it will be difficult for the county to find the funds to match that program. “County coffers are tight now,” she said. Under the law, those who qualify would receive a full tax credit against their state income tax liability. They must have been living outside the state for five or more years prior to establishing residency in the rural opportunity zone. Under the student loan repayment plan, the eligible counties would be authorized to adopt resolutions to participate and pay half of certain student loan costs. The maximum amount would be $15,000, which the state and county would split. The tax exemption will reduce funds to state coffers by $1.5 million in its first year, and $4.4 million in its second year, according to state estimates. Brownback has recommended transferring $1.3 million in economic development funds to the Kansas Department of Commerce to cover the student loan repayment program. Seiler said she doesn’t believe there will be any hard feelings from people who already live in those counties and aren’t getting the tax break. Supporters of the measure say they hope the new law will benefit all by increasing economic activity. — Statehouse reporter Scott Rothschild can be reached at 785-423-0668.

a druggist in Independence, who in 1916 founded Sinclair Oil and Refining Co., which by World War I was the largest independent oil company in the U.S. Another Kansas business gets a nod with the World War II draft registration cards from brothers Walter and Richard Beech, who had founded Beechcraft in Wichita. There are also displays about Ford County Sheriff Bat Masterson, Buffalo Bill Cody and renowned newspaper editor William Allen White. Then there is the slightly peculiar side, as seen in a display about Woody Hockaday, of Wichita, who owned auto and tire supply stores and was known for mapping car routes around the country. But Hockaday had another calling too, apparently. A

through the use of federal records, and is less a timeline of the evolution of the Sunflower state than a glance through some noteworthy and obscure pieces of its past. A school report from 1898 for Jim Thorpe, a member of the Sac and Fox tribe who was also known as “Bright Path,” shows he attended elementary school at the Haskell Institute in Lawrence before heading to the Olympics and a celebrated career as a professional athlete. Kansas as an oil state is seen through Harry Sinclair,

newspaper clipping from 1936 chronicles Hockaday’s adventures as “The Featherman,” a moniker he earned after dumping a bag of feathers in War Department offices and at an American Legion dinner in Maryland, creating a “near riot.” Hockaday’s antics pale, however, against those of Dr. John R. Brinkley. Brinkley, a surgeon in Milford, developed a specialty, called the Brinkley Operation, which involved transplanting goat gonads in “men as a cure for impotence and infertility.” Brinkley also had a radio station. The exhibit notes that Brinkley, who eventually left medicine and radio after both licenses were yanked, segued into politics, running unsuccessfully for Kansas governor. Then he moved to Texas.

into plastic foam by a computerized machine. Once the foam model was completed, he made slight alterations and created the final mold, which was shipped in pieces to Ad Astra Art Bronze Inc. foundry in Lawrence. The final mold was 22 pieces in all. “A sculpture this size is all about putting the pieces together to make something great,” Mispagel said. “That’s how sculpture is like-life, and that’s one of the things I love about it.”

DE SOTO HIGH SCHOOL ART TEACHER TIM MISPAGEL created an 8-foot-tall bronze sculpture of St. Benedict as well as a raven for Benedictine College, his alma mater. “A sculpture this size is all about putting the pieces together to make something great,” Mispagel said.

Sculpting his passion Mispagel’s love for his art is evident from the passion in his voice as he speaks about this project as a legacy for his children and an inspiration for his students. “It was exhausting teaching full time and being a fulltime dad and making this sculpture, but you get through because it’s a passion,” he said. “I shared the entire process with my students, and I hope they take more pride in their own work now that they’ve seen me take pride in mine.” Mispagel also involved his children, ages 13, 6 and 3, in the process. “I just built a studio onto my home so I can have my kids there working with me,” he said. “I could have leased

studio space somewhere else, but I didn’t want to be away from my family like that.” And while Mispagel is quick to say it will be up to his children where or how they choose to advance their education, he does have his dreams. “I like the idea of my kids going to Benedictine and saying to their friends, ‘My dad made that,’” he said. Mispagel, who previously worked for Hallmark and as an illustrator, said sculpture provides a connection that couldn’t be made on paper or canvas. “The special thing about sculpture is that it’s interactive. People can walk around a sculpture and touch it. It’s meant to be touched,” Mispagel said. “I really tried to

WHY DO I HEAR... BUT NOT UNDERSTAND? Study by Cambridge University in England Reveals Key Answer Until recently, there was no practical way to identify dead regions of hearing cells in the ear. However, a new British-developed procedure using standard test equipment now allows for identification of dead hearing cell regions. The study suggests that the presence or absence of dead regions may have serious implications in the fitting of hearing aids. This research reveals that amplifying dead cells is a mistake which will result in poorer speech understanding in noise. A new type of digitally programmable microcircuit is now available using nanoScience technology that can be programmed to bypass the dead cells. As a result, the patient’s usable hearing cells receive amplification, thereby improving speech understanding in noise. “We are employing a

like method in our diagnostic sound booths using a sound field speech in noise procedure,” said Christina Pinkley, HIS of NuEar Hearing Center. “This test simulates hearing in a noisy crowd. We are able to de-

termine maximum speech understanding by frequency shaping this new hearing aid.” The results have been phenomenal. For the first time, a patient is able to actually realize the exact percentage of speech understanding im-

provement in noisy listening environments. These new products come in all shell sizes, including the smallest digital models. During its release, NuEar Hearing Center is offering this new frequency-shaping

hearing instrument on a 30-day satisfaction trial. Call the NuEar Hearing Center office for a no-obligation appointment.

EGYPT

Former President Mubarak denies abusing power By Sarah El Deeb Associated Press Writer

C A I R O — In the f irst remarks since his dramatic ouster, former President Hosni Mubarak denied that he used his position to amass wealth and property during three decades in power, and issued an emotional defense of his legacy. The statement, broadcast Sunday at the end of a turbulent weekend that saw a deadly military crackdown on protesters, only stoked more public anger in the midst of Egypt’s turbulent transition to a more democratic system. In the prerecorded audiotape, the 82-year-old Mubarak spoke with a tone of authority more in keeping with his past power than his current situation. He said he had agreed to “authorize” an investigation of his finances, and promised to sue all those who smeared his reputation. As the ruling military council comes under increasing public pressure for its management of the postMubarak transition, the expresident’s first words were a reminder that he still has a grip on the country’s mood. Shortly after the speech was aired, Egypt’s prosecutor general announced he had issued orders summoning the ex-president and his two sons for questioning on the embezzlement allegations. The scope of the investiga-

Former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak is denying that he abused his authority to amass wealth and property in his first speech since his ouster. tion was also widened to include the crackdown on protesters that killed an estimated 300 people. The move could help ease public anger now largely directed at the military. The pan-Arab news channel Al-Arabiya, which broadcast the speech, said it was recorded Saturday, a day after demonstrators gathered in huge numbers in Cairo’s Tahrir Square to demand that the military council that took over from Mubarak launch an investigation into his wealth. The speech seemed to be as much about preserving his dignity as about denying the

accusations against him. “I was hurt very much, and I am still hurting — my family and I — from the unjust campaigns against us and false allegations that aim to smear my reputation, my integrity, my (political) stances and my military history,” Mubarak said. The speech came as hundreds of protesters remain barricaded in Tahrir square, the epicenter of the uprising that forced Mubarak from office on Feb. 11 after 18 days of mass demonstrations. Friday’s protest by tens of thousands was the biggest since Mubarak’s ouster.

Despite constitutional amendments to allow free elections and other steps toward a freer political scene, many in the anti-Mubarak movement are skeptical of the military’s pledges to meet all demands. Trust between the military and the reform movement suffered a serious setback when soldiers stormed their protest camp in the pre-dawn hours Saturday, killing at least one person and injuring 71 others. That increased calls for the resignation of the head of the military council running the country, Defense Minister Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi, a Mubarak appointee. It also spurred protesters to retake Tahrir Square, shutting down traffic in the heart of the city. By midnight Sunday, several hundred protesters remained barricaded there behind barbed wire, burnedout troop carriers and makeshift checkpoints they set up to keep out vehicle traffic and search people for weapons. There was no sign of the military.

CEILING FANS AND REMODELING

Associated Press Writer

W A S H I N G T O N — Eight months shy of its deadline for pulling the last American soldier from Iraq and closing the door on an 8-year war, the Pentagon is having second thoughts. Reluctant to say it publicly, officials fear a final pullout in December could create a security vacuum, offering an opportunity for power grabs by antagonists in an unresolved and simmering ArabKurd dispute, a weakened but still active al-Qaida or even an adventurous neighbor such as Iran. The U.S. wants to keep perhaps several thousand troops in Iraq, not to engage in combat but to guard against an unraveling of a still-fragile peace. This was made clear during Defense Secretary Robert Gates’ visit Thursday and Friday in which he and the top U.S. commander in Iraq talked up the prospect of an extended U.S. stay. How big a military commit-

ment might the U.S. be willing to make beyond 2011? “It just depends on what the Iraqis want and what we’re able to provide and afford,” Gates said Thursday at a U.S. base in the northern city of Mosul where U.S. soldiers advise and mentor Iraqi forces. He said the U.S. would consider a range of possibilities, from staying an extra couple of years to remaining in Iraq as permanent partners. Less clear is whether the Iraqis will ask for any extension. Powerful political winds are blowing against such a move even as U.S. officials assert that Iraqi leaders — Sunni, Shiite and Kurd — are saying privately they see a need for help developing their air defenses and other military capabilities. U.S. training of Iraqi forces up to now has focused on combating an internal enemy, including al-Qaida, rather than external threats. If the Iraqis choose not to ask for more help, then Dec. 31 probably will mark the end of

U.S. military intervention that was so close to failing when Gates became Pentagon chief in December 2006. He once said the U.S. faced the prospect of a “strategic disaster” at the heart of the Middle East. Meghan O’Sullivan, a top adviser on Iraq to President George W. Bush when his administration negotiated the 2008 security agreement that set upcoming deadline for a final U.S. military withdrawal, said time is too short to negotiate a full reworking of that legal pact. “The question is, can both sides agree on something more modest but which still provides an adequate legal basis for a smaller number of American troops to stay in Iraq, with quite defined missions?” she said in an email exchange last week. O’Sullivan is a professor of international affairs at Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School. There are now about 47,000 U.S. troops in Iraq, less than one-third the total at the peak of the war four years ago.

But mothers got on average a little more than two hours of at least moderate activity weekly, versus three hours weekly among childless women. Mothers had a slightly higher average body-mass index than childless women — 27 versus 26. Healthy BMIs are in the 19-24 range. Fathers ate about the same amount of daily calories as childless men and both had an average BMI of about 25, but fathers got less physical activity — about five hours weekly, compared to almost seven hours among childless men. Among study participants, more of the parents were black and had low incomes than the childless adults, but the researchers took race, income and other factors into account that might have affected diet or activity levels. The study has several limitations; there’s no data on how many women recently had babies, whose weight would still reflect pregnancy pounds. There’s also no information on the number of single parents, who likely face even more diet and exercise challenges than married parents.

Obama to lay out budget plan this week By Laurie Kellman Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON — One budget deal down, President Barack Obama and Congress began to pivot Sunday from the painful standoff over this year’s spending to a pair of defining debates over the nation’s borrowing limit and the election-year budget. Much will be revealed at midweek, when the House and Senate are expected to vote on a budget for the remainder of this fiscal year and Obama reveals his plan to reduce the deficit, in part by scaling back programs for seniors and the poor. Across the dial on Sunday, messengers from both parties framed the series of spending fights as debates over cuts — a thematic victory for House Republicans swept to power by a populist mandate for smaller, more austere government. “We’ve had to bring this president kicking and screaming to the table to cut spending,” said House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., on “Fox News Sunday.”

Presidential adviser David Plouffe said Obama has long been committed to finding ways for the nation to spend within its means. He confirmed that the president would unveil more specifics for deficit reduction with a speech Wednesday that would reveal plans to reduce the government’s chief health programs for seniors and the poor. “You’re going to have to look at Medicare and Medicaid and see what kind of savings you can get,” Obama adviser David Plouffe said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions, the top Republican on the Senate Budget Committee, called Obama’s planned speech “an apparent recognition that the budget plan he submitted to Congress ... fails to address our dire fiscal challenges.” In a press release Sunday, Sessions said any revision to the 2012 budget submitted by Obama in February “must be presented in a detailed, concrete form” for scrutiny by the House and Senate budget committees and the Congressional Budget Office.

Need for speed? It’s good that the state Department of Transportation will individually evaluate which multi-lane highways will see speedlimit increases.

itting on Gov. Sam Brownback’s desk is a bill that, among other things, would allow higher speed limits on divided multi-lane highways in Kansas. Proponents say the measure is designed to draw truck traffic from highways in other states — notably Interstate 80 in Nebraska — and, therefore, is a plus for Kansas economic development. That makes some sense. If the governor signs the bill, the Kansas secretary of transportation still must initiate raising speed limits from 70 to 75 mph on specific roads. It’s fortunate that, instead of making a blanket change, the secretary and her staff will evaluate whether 75 mph truly makes sense on all of the eligible highways. “The inclination would be to increase the rural sections of interstate,” said Steve Swartz, spokesman for KDOT. As anyone who’s ever driven an interstate highway west of Salina can attest: Making better time would be a plus. A real plus. So while the legislation to increase speeds on these roads will drive up gasoline consumption and cost the state some money to change highway signs — up to $24,750, according to testimony — it makes sense for the governor to approve the bill. However, if the governor does sign the bill, KDOT should take an especially hard look at highways in urban areas. One nearby road — the portion of Kansas Highway 10 between Lawrence and Kansas City — would be a poor choice for a higher speed limit. Already, many motorists are traveling far faster than 75 mph on K-10. It only makes sense that increasing the speed limit would translate into an increase in the accident rate. KDOT’s Swartz says that during the evaluation, the agency will look at the history of crashes, as well as whether eligible roads are hilly or curvy. And while it’s pretty much a straight shot down K-10 and it has controlled access, it makes absolutely no sense to feed the need for speed on an already hazardous highway.

Fever of space race hard to recapture It came as a shock to American intelligence off icials, to the Kennedy administration — and to the original seven Project Mercury astronauts. Fifty years ago Tuesday, the Soviet Union, which had trouble producing quality refrigerators or television sets for its own people, sent a man into space and returned him safely to Earth. His name was Yuri Gagarin, a forgotten figure in most of the world today, and he did more than brush his shoulder against outer space, which is essentially what America’s first space veteran, Alan B. Shepard, did a month later in a 15-minute flight that took him 115 miles high. As he whistled strains of Shostakovich, Gagarin piloted his Vostok spacecraft beyond the bounds of the atmosphere, achieved Earth orbit and spent 108 minutes in space.

Shocked by Soviets “We didn’t think they were as far along as they were, and we thought that whoever rode that first Redstone would be the first person in space,” John H. Glenn Jr., who with M. Scott Carpenter is one of the only two original American astronauts still alive, said in an interview this spring. “They had better boosters but we thought we were ahead. When they announced Gagarin had gone around the Earth, it was a shock.” The shock has worn off. Since then, more than 500 people have flown in space, men have stepped on the moon, and serious people speak of a mission to Mars within the lives of those now walking the Earth. But Gagarin’s feat, the culmination of the human species’ dream for generations, remains an important marker — and this week’s anniversary means that humans have been in space for a half century. Space travel is hardly routine even now; two space-shuttle tragedies have underlined the danger of missions that seldom attract attention today. But it is difficult to remember the effect that the dawn of the Space Age

spaceflight of its thrill and its novelty. Sergei Krikalev, a Russian cosmonaut, spent nearly two and a quarter years in space, and another Russian, Anatoly Solovyev, spent nearly three and a half days in spacewalks over the course of 16 tries. Those achievements, inconceivable when the Space Age began, have produced a generation blase about the blast of a rocket into space.

Mankind needs a dream Though great challenges — poverty, disease, environmental degradation — press on humankind, the fading of the space dream nonetheless worries national leaders, educators, philosophers, theologians — and astronauts. “Unless people keep striving for things that excite them — that have a bit of a utopian vision to them — they will stagnate,” said Jay Apt, a Carnegie Mellon University physicist who has been on four space shuttle missions. “An endless source of that utopian energy can be found around our heads as we take the annual journey around the sun. There is no better way of stretching your imagination than ... reaching out to the night sky.” One person who understands that is Franklin Chang-Diaz, one of only two men to have made seven trips into space. He was an 11-year-old in Costa Rica when the Space Age began with the Gagarin mission. Later he would have pictures of the Mercury astronauts on the walls of his room. “I had been dreaming about someday becoming an astronaut,” he said in a phone interview from Costa Rica, where he operates a company making a plasma rocket that might one day cut a mission to Mars from six months to a month. “But of course in those days there were no astronauts, only heroes from science fiction. It was a time I wish we could recover.” — David Shribman is executive editor of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

group has operated as the only professional modern dance ensemble in Kansas. The closing of 940 represents a blow to not only dance, but to our state, and to all of the arts. The 940 Dance Company began in 1987 as the Prairie Wind Dancers. The company has danced on our stages (and some delightful alternative performance spaces) for over two decades. Currently, Susan Rieger serves as artistic director of 940. During her fouryear tenure, she has brought innovation, choreographic excellence and thought-provoking ideas to not only the stage of the LAC, but to schools and theaters across the state and even a 940 performance in Mexico. The company has employed talented, energetic, qualified dancers. The loss of this company would leave a void in the artistic landscape of Kansas. One would like to see an effort to support the continuation of this unique, professional dance legacy in Kansas. Perhaps arts center Executive Director Susan Tate could sponsor a targeted fundraiser, downsize the company, endeavor to increase bookings in the area or seek a permanent sponsor. I hope the 940 Dance Company’s performances of “Red” on April 14 and 16 will not be the farewell concert. David Ollington 940 Dance Company advisory board member, Manhattan

To the editor: I have been a restaurant owner and resident of Lawrence for over 30 years. Most recently, I learned not to take the people of our community, especially the fine members of the Lawrence Police Department, for granted. On a Saturday night not too long ago, I was busy serving up dishes and chatting with customers at the restaurant. It was not until closing time that I noticed my car was not parked in its regular spot. Around 9:50 p.m., I made an emergency call to the police. An officer appeared at the restaurant within 10 minutes of my call. He was highly professional, listening carefully to my account of the incident and taking detailed notes. Although he seemed confident he would find my car, my husband and I were both highly skeptical. No more than a half hour later, I received a call from the dispatcher informing me that the police had located my car. To my utter astonishment and delight, I realized that I would be in possession of my car within an hour of reporting it stolen! Although my license tag was stripped and some items were missing, the car itself was intact. The following day, a friend and I found the license tag and keys. The officer called and informed me he had found some items that had been missing from my car. Of course, I did not want to have my car stolen. However, I now know of the highly skilled, effective and competent officers working in the Lawrence Police Department.

Topeka creates new arts district TOPEKA (AP) — A new arts district in an older section of Topeka is gaining artists and art lovers. The Topeka Capital-Journal reported that nearly a thousand people attended a grand opening earlier this month featuring a showroom, a private gallery and a monthly market. Project co-chair Anita Wolgast says the large crowd is “testimony to the fact that the community not only wanted an arts district but is supporting it with great enthusiasm.” Renee Johnson is among the artists who have moved into the developing arts district in North Topeka. Since mid-February she has been transforming an old building into an art showroom and studio space she named The Eclective. She joked that she now has construction worker hands from all the hard work.

Magenta jacket? Why not? Random thoughts after watching four days of coverage of the 75th Masters while wondering whether magenta might have been a better color for the green jacket: ■ Now is the toughest time to stand out as a professional golfer because the global popularity of the game exploded when Tiger Woods dominated at such a young age, and the youngsters who wanted to be the next Tiger are now hammering drives down fairways. The top seven finishers came from six continents (Africa, Australia, North America, Europe, South America, Asia): 1. South African Charl Schwartzel; 2t. Jason Day (Australia) and Adam Scott (Australia); 4t. Tiger Woods (USA), Geoff Oglivy (Australia) and Luke Donald (Great Britain); 7. Angel Cabrera (Argentina); 8t. Bo Van Pelt (USA) and K.J. Choi (South Korea). ■ Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland of Topeka shot 69, 73, 74, 70 to finish at 2-under par, tied for 24th. That’s even more impressive when considering he finished behind just seven American golfers: Woods, Van Pelt, Ryan Palmer, Steve Stricker, Brandt Snedeker, Fred Couples and Ricky Barnes. Woodland caught fire twice during his first Masters. He was 6 under on his final six holes Thursday and 3 under during a four-hole stretch (No. 13 through No. 16) on Sunday. Woodland’s best holes: No. 13 (4 under), a 510-yard par-5, and No. 15 (3 under), a 530-yard par5. His worst: He was 3 over on both No. 7, a 450-yard par-4, and No. 12, a 155-yard par-3. For the tourney, he had one eagle, 15 birdies, 43 pars, 11 bogeys and two double bogeys. ■ Holding a four-stroke lead going into the final round, Rory McIlroy lost six strokes to par on the first three holes of the back side and shot a 3743—80. McIlroy, 21, learned a lot watching Woods on TV in Northern Ireland. Woods could learn a great deal from watching McIlroy on TV after shooting that 80, such as how to be gracious in defeat. It seems as if Tiger’s main goal when interviewed on TV is to make the person asking him questions feel stupid. It’s so painful watching the interviewer thanking Tiger, basically for being a jerk to him. The networks ought to consider either not interviewing him or asking him the questions we’d all love for him to answer on live television. “Tell us, Tiger, how long have you been referring to yourself as Tiger after hitting a lessthan-perfect shot? I guess what I’m asking is how long have you been afflicted with third-person disease?” Or: “So, Tiger, are you seeing anyone?” Or: “Since you got caught with your pants down and everyone in the whole world learned the intimate details of your love life, you don’t seem to putt as well as when you played the role of an angel. Any correlation?” On second thought, maybe just don’t interview him. ■ One of the toughest calls in sports: Jack Nicklaus won 18 majors, and Tiger has won 14. Will Tiger catch him and pass him? I’ll say Tiger does get to 19. Without missing so many short putts during the weekend, he would have won his 15th on Sunday. He’s still such a creative, clutch shot-maker. He looks primed to win three majors through 2015 and another two in his 40s.

BRAEDEN ANDERSON, a 6-foot-8, 215-pound power forward, committed to Kansas University on Sunday.

Braeden Anderson, a lateblooming basketball prospect from the town of Okotoks, Alberta, Canada, has read what the recruiting analysts think of him. “Everybody says, ‘His best basketball is ahead of him.’ It’s true,” said Anderson, a 6foot-8, 215-pound senior power forward out of Wilbraham and Monson Academy in Massachusetts who has orally committed to

play basketball at Kansas University. The three-star player, who was once committed to DePaul and is currently unranked by Rivals.com, chose the Jayhawks over Kentucky, Arizona, Florida, Missouri and Memphis. “I came to the States a year after making basketball my No. 1 sport,” said Anderson, who played football — never hockey — as a youth in Okotoks (Pop. 23,104), located 11 miles south of Calgary. He abandoned dreams of

being a pro wide receiver during his sophomore year of high school, concentrating instead on hoops. “The first time I touched a ball seriously was eighth grade. I have a ton to learn. I’m getting better every day. Now I get to learn under (KU big-man coach) Danny Manning, which will be an honor,” Anderson added. Anderson, who played ball at Christian Faith Center outside of Raleigh, N.C., his junior year, averaged 20 points and 11 rebounds a

game this past season at Wilbraham and Monson. He withdrew from the prep school last month for undisclosed reasons and is now wrapping up his high school academic work (a f inal Spanish class) online. He has been considered one of the hottest available frontcourt prospects leading into the late spring signing period, which begins Wednesday. Please see RECRUIT, page 10B

KANSAS UNIVERSITY’S JIMMY WATERS (7) IS CONGRATULATED by his teammates after hitting a three-run home run against Nebraska. KU beat the Huskers, 11-5, Sunday at Hoglund Ballpark.

——

Waters chats up Huskers in series-clincher By Jesse Newell jnewell@ljworld.com

Jimmy Waters admits that his emotions got the best of him. After a three-run home run in the third inning of Kansas’ 11-5 victory over Nebraska on Sunday, the KU senior barked a few words toward NU pitcher Logan Ehlers while rounding the bases. “It’s his first start, and I just wanted to welcome him to the Big 12 Conference,” Waters said with a smile. “That’s about it.” The NU series had a bit of extra significance for Waters after growing up in nearby Council Bluffs, Iowa. Waters was interested in attending Nebraska, only to have the Huskers turn him away. “Some things happened, and just being overlooked,” Waters said. “Being told I couldn’t play in this conference, and just to be able to come out here and shove it on them again, it feels great.” Five of Waters’ 14 career home runs have come against Nebraska, and his three-run shot to left was just a part of the Jayhawks’ best offensive day of the year. KU’s 11 runs were a season-high,

WINNING PITCHER ALEX COX delivers against the Huskers. topping its eight runs scored against Eastern Michigan on March 11. The Jayhawks’ six extrabase hits also tied for the most all season. KU needed the additional offense after a three-run homer by NU’s Cody Asche tied the game at 5 in the top of the fifth. In the bottom of the frame, Jason Brunansky blasted a one-out home run to left — his first of the season

— to start a three-run inning for KU. “I thought that was the turning point in the game,” said KU coach Ritch Price, who celebrated his 55th birthday Sunday. “We got punched in the mouth and went right back out there and punched them back.” After Waters was hit by a pitch, Zac Elgie (single), Jake Marasco (single) and Casey Lytle (double) followed with consecutive hits. “We felt like they had momentum. We wanted to get it back, get it out of that dugout,” Waters said. “For a team that’s only won now three out of their last (23) Big 12 series ... I think once they get down and face some adversity, they haven’t shown that they’ve been able to win. Just to take the air out of them I think was big.” Reliever Frank Duncan helped KU secure the lead. The freshman right-hander pitched three scoreless innings — his longest outing of the season — while allowing just one hit and one walk to go with two strikeouts. During Big 12 play, the San Francisco native has given up just one 2 run in 12 ⁄3 innings. Please see BASEBALL, page 3B

Surprising Royals win again, 9-5 DETROIT (AP) — Amid all the talk about Kansas City’s promising farm system and bright future, the current Royals are quietly off to a nice start. Wilson Betemit went 4-for-4 with two doubles, and the Royals beat the mistake-prone Detroit Tigers, 9-5, on Sunday. Luke Hochevar pitched seven solid innings for Kansas City, and every Royals starter had a hit. Kansas City took two of three from the Tigers and improved to 6-3. Not bad, considering many

of the team’s top prospects might be at least a year from making an impact. “We feel great,” said Jeff Francoeur, who hit a single and a triple. “We’re here, and it’s our turn to go out there and show what we can do. I think you watch — every guy is just doing the best they can, and hopefully it’s good enough. Right now it is.” Miguel Cabrera, Jhonny Peralta and Alex Avila all homered for Detroit, but the Tigers made four errors.

Hochevar (1-1) gave up the three homers, but Detroit managed only two other hits off him. He easily outdueled Rick Porcello (0-2) in a matchup of former first-round draft picks. Three relievers finished for the Royals, with Joakim Soria getting the final two outs for his third save. It was the first four-hit game for Betemit since July 14, 2007. He also drew a walk. “That was a great day — not

South African wins wild Masters By Doug Ferguson Associated Press Golf Writer

AUGUSTA, GA. — The finishing touch of a most amazing Masters was Charl Schwartzel slipping into a green jacket. Until that moment late Sunday afternoon, everything else at Augusta National was up for grabs. The roars came from everywhere, for everyone, and never stopped. Tiger Woods made up a sevenshot deficit in nine holes — too bad it was the front nine. Geoff Ogilvy ran off f ive straight birdies. Rory McIlroy matched the greatest collapse in Masters history with a stretch of holes not even Greg Norman would want to watch. It was so wild that eight players had at least a share of the lead on the back nine. Schwartzel emerged from all this madness with a magical touch of his own. He became the first Masters champion in its 75year history to finish with four straight birdies, giving him a 6under 66 for the best final round by a winner in 22 years. The green jacket ceremony wasn’t so much a celebration as a chance for everyone to catch their breath. “There’s so many roars that go on around Augusta,” Schwartzel said. “Especially the back nine. It echoes through those trees. There’s always a roar. Every single hole you walk down, someone has done something. And I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t looking at the leaderboard.” At times, it was nearly impossible to keep up. There was a five-way lead at the top at one point, and only the final hour sorted it all out. Schwartzel didn’t have the lead to himself until he knocked in a 10-foot birdie putt on the 17th hole, then put just the right touch on a memorable Sunday with one Please see MASTERS, page 3B

UNLV taps BYU assistant Rice as coach LAS VEGAS (AP) — UNLV hired BYU associate coach Dave Rice as its head basketball coach Sunday, picking him to return to the school where he was an assistant under four head coaches for 11 seasons. The move, pending the approval of the Nevada Board of Regents, came a little more than a week after Lon Kruger left UNLV following seven seasons to become Oklahoma’s new coach. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. UNLV athletic director Jim Livengood, in a statement, said no further information would be

available until a news conference scheduled for 4 p.m. today. The 42-year-old Rice beat out three other finalists: Minnesota Timberwolves assistant and former UNLV star Reggie Theus, St. John’s assistant Mike Dunlap and former Oregon coach Ernie Kent. Rice was interviewed Wednesday by Livengood, UNLV president Neal Smatresk and several regents, the Las Vegas Sun and Las Vegas Review-Journal reported. He played for coach Jerry Tarkanian as a reserve on UNLV’s 1990 national championship team and 1991 Final Four team, then

COMMENTARY

McIlroy’s Masters collapse sad, but relatable By Teddy Greenstein Chicago Tribune

AUGUSTA, GA. — One man screamed, “Way to go, Rory!” And after Rory McIlroy concluded a television interview, CBS’ Peter Kostis gave him a hug. “You’ll get ’em, Rory!” hollered another man. Golf can be a cruel game, and the Masters patrons know it. Who can’t relate to a 21-year-old kid who stumbles? It’s easier than identifying with someone who leaves the world’s most exclusive golf club wearing a green jacket. McIlroy knew his Masters run was history after he hooked his tee shot into Rae’s Creek on No. 13, but this sport does not permit you to say: “No mas.” You carry on, in the sweltering heat, for all the public to see. And if you have mettle, you face a mob of reporters and answer questions about your failures, just as Greg Norman did after he blew a six-shot lead in 1996. McIlroy did that Sunday off the 18th green with the giant scoreboard serving as a backdrop. It still had his name on the top line. Talk about cruel. The red numbers showed “11” after the ninth hole. Then 8-7-5-5-5-4-4-4-4. “I was leading this golf tournament with nine holes to go,” he said, “and I just unraveled.” McIlroy, 12-under to start the day and four clear of everyone, shot an 8-over 80. Norman even beat him by two shots while delivering that Masters trophy to Nick Faldo. “It’s going to be hard to take for a few days, but I’ll get over it,” McIlroy said. “A couple of pretty good friends were in a similar position to me last year in Dustin Johnson and Nick Watney.” Watney shot 81 in the final round of the PGA Championship at Whistling Straits. Johnson collapsed at the Pebble Beach U.S. Open, closing with 82. When did it begin to go wrong for McIlroy on Sunday? Try Saturday night. “Louie Oosthuizen sent me a text saying: Don’t let Rory look at his phone,” McIlroy’s manager, Andrew “Chubby” Chandler, said of the 2010 British Open champion. “Because he will get so many suggestions on what to do. Rory probably read them all.” Don’t pity Chandler. He embraced Masters champion Charl Schwartzel, another of his clients, off the 18th green. About three hours before McIlroy’s tee time, Chandler recalled their meeting at an event hosted by Darren Clarke in Northern Ireland. “Rory was a 3 handicap,” Chandler said. “He was 12 years old — and a cocky little ---. “Now he’s an old 21. He looks 15, but he plays like he’s 30.” Not while launching his “Star Trek” tee shot on the 10th ... going where no man has gone before. McIlroy hit it so far left, he found himself between two cabins. “Thinking about switching my TV off,” friend and U.S. Open champion Graeme McDowell tweeted shortly thereafter. “This just got ugly.” McIlroy’s triple-bogey helped transform the Masters from a major golf tournament to a six-way intersection with no traffic lights. Schwartzel birdied the final four holes, while McIlroy limped home with a backnine 43. “It was a character-building day,” he said. “Put it that way.” ● More Masters on pages 1B, 3B

served as a Rebels assistant for 11 seasons under Tarkanian and three other coaches before Kruger arrived in 2004. Tarkanian’s preference was for Theus, but he did not slight Rice. “He’s a really sharp guy and a good person,” Tarkanian told the Review-Journal. Rice has 19 years of coaching experience, including 17 seasons at BYU, UNLV and Utah State. He joined BYU as an assistant in 2005 and was promoted to associate head coach in 2008. He helped lead the Cougars to the Round of 16 in the recent NCAA Tournament.

“Dave has been a big part of the success of our program over the past three years,” BYU coach Dave Rose said. “He is an outstanding teacher of the game and has always been part of successful programs both as a player and a coach.” In his last eight seasons at UNLV, the Rebels received seven postseason invitations and averaged 20 wins per year. He takes over a Mountain West Conference team that went 24-9 last season and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the fourth time in f ive years. The team returns four starters.

Sterger to ABC: ‘I’m not a gold-digger’ NEW YORK — The former New York Jets game hostess who allegedly received inappropriate photos and phone messages from Brett Favre says in an interview with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos that she isn’t a “golddigger” and hasn’t “made a dime” off the scandal. “I haven’t made a dime off anything in this whole situation,” Jenn Sterger said in the interview that will air on “Good Morning America” on Tuesday and Wednesday and “Nightline” on Tuesday night. “Not from the pictures. Not from Favre. I never wanted to sue anyone. That was never an intention of mine. I’m not a gold-digger. The only way I wanted to make my money this whole time was to just have a job.” In December, the NFL concluded its investigation of Favre by fining him $50,000 for failing to cooperate with the process. The NFL said Commissioner Roger Goodell couldn’t conclude Favre violated the league’s personalconduct policy based on the evidence available. Investigators were trying to determine if Favre sent inappropriate messages and belowthe-belt photos to Sterger in 2008, when both worked for the Jets.

AUTO RACING Power perfect at Birmingham BIRMINGHAM, ALA. — Will Power sat down at the podium, smiled and said, “Good day.” The Australian meant it as a greeting, but he most definitely had a good day. Power started up front and never relinquished his spot to win the Indy Grand Prix of Alabama on Sunday, capturing a race that escaped him last year and doing so without a misstep. “I can’t think of a race where I’ve been so cool, so physically fine and where I had everything go so right,” Power said, adding that maybe last year at Sonoma was comparable. Power extended his wire-to-wire lead enough for some comfort in the final laps and finished 3.38 seconds ahead of Scott Dixon on Sunday, while Dario Franchitti was third on the 2.38-mile road course at Barber Motorsports Park.

Red Bull’s Vettel wins in Malaysia SEPANG, MALAYSIA — Red Bull driver Sebastian Vettel won the Formula One Malaysian Grand Prix on Sunday, giving the German back-to-back wins to open the season. The pole sitter led throughout and beat McLaren’s Jenson Button by 3.2 seconds, with Renault’s Nick Heidfeld hanging on for third. Red Bull’s Mark Webber recovered from a poor start to finish fourth, with Ferrari’s Felipe Massa fifth. Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso and McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton crashed in the closing laps, finishing sixth and seventh, respectively. Sauber’s Kamui Kobayashi finished eighth, while Mercedes’ Michael Schumacher made a late pass to take ninth.

TUESDAY • Twins, 7:10 p.m. in Minneapolis

MLB Canseco sued by boxing promoter A celebrity boxing promoter has filed a lawsuit against Jose Canseco for breach of contract after the former major-league slugger instead sent his twin brother for the bout. Damon Feldman, of Broomall, Pa., filed a complaint Friday after he says Canseco backed out and made twin brother Ozzie pass himself off as the baseball star for the scheduled March 26 bout in Hollywood, Fla. Feldman is asking for $7,500 plus costs. He says he advanced Canseco $5,000 and paid another $1,500 for the former MVP to fly himself to the event. Feldman refused to let Ozzie Canseco compete.

Boston, Buchholz agree to 4 years BOSTON — Clay Buchholz and the Red Sox agreed to a four-year deal Sunday that keeps the All-Star pitcher under contract with Boston through 2015. The deal also includes club options for 2016 and 2017. Buchholz gives up three potential arbitration years and delays his chance to become a free agent in exchange for the security of a long-term deal. The 26-year-old Buchholz was second in the American League with a 2.33 earned-run average last year — the youngest Red Sox pitcher with an ERA that low since 1918.

Prior pitches on consecutive days TAMPA, FLA. — Mark Prior pitched on consecutive days for the first time as he tries to convert to a reliever in his comeback from a series of injuries. The New York Yankees right-hander threw a scoreless inning Sunday for Class-A Tampa against Lakeland. He walked one during his 20-pitch outing. On Saturday night, he had a strikeout in shutout inning against Detroit’s Class-A team. Prior’s fastball reached 91 mph in both games and averaged around 90.

CYCLING Van Summeren wins Paris-Roubaix ROUBAIX, FRANCE — Belgian rider Johan van Summeren won the Paris-Roubaix classic for the first time Sunday after breaking away in the closing stages and holding on for an unexpected victory. Two-time winner Fabian Cancellara of Switzerland finished in second place, but was unable to catch Van Summeren despite a powerful late charge.

only for me. The team played really hard,” Betemit said. “We’re starting good right now. We have to keep going.” If the Royals keep this up, their fans might have more to look forward to this summer than just checking out reports from the team’s minor-league system — which is considered one of baseball’s best. “I know this team has great prospects in the minor leagues,” Betemit said. “When you see those guys in the minor leagues — all those young guys, you’ve seen in spring training, those are great players. You’re going to see those guys soon.”

Hochevar was the Royals’ opening-day starter after the team traded ace Zack Greinke. He was sharp against the Tigers, striking out six without a walk. He allowed four runs, three earned. Porcello, on the other hand, was in trouble from the start. He made a wild pickoff throw in the first inning, putting a man on third with one out. He managed to pitch out of that jam, but Kansas City broke through in the third. After a walk to Chris Getz, Melky Cabrera slapped a double down the left-field line, and Ryan Raburn’s throw in to second sailed high for an error, allowing Getz to score and Cabrera to take third. Alex Gordon drove in Cabrera with a groundout. Peralta homered in the bottom half, but Kansas City

The Jayhawks scored eight of their runs — three earned — off Ehlers, who was making his first appearance of the year after serving an NCAA suspension. The freshman left-hander was forced to miss 60 percent of the season because his adviser illegally made contact with the Toronto Blue Jays after Ehlers was drafted in the eighth round of last year’s MLB draft. KU has won three of four Big 12 series this year. It’s also the first time in the Big 12 era that KU has won three consecutive home conference series. Nebraska (21-13, 3-6 Big 12) mustered just six hits, with only one of those coming after the fifth inning. The Jayhawks (15-17, 6-6) will travel to face Iowa at 6:05 p.m. Tuesday.

answered with a run in the fourth. The Royals then scored two in the fifth, again with help from the sloppy Tigers. After a run-scoring triple by Francoeur and a walk by Betemit, Matt Treanor hit a potential doubleplay grounder to third base that could have ended the inning. Instead, Brandon Inge threw wide of second for another error, and a run came home. Porcello gave five runs on nine hits. He struck out two and walked three. “As the game went on, I didn’t do a good job of mixing my pitches. I got into a pattern, and they got all over that and started waiting on my sinker,” Porcello said. “The pickoff was a bad throw, but that wasn’t my issue today.” Avila hit a solo homer in the sixth. Umpires reviewed the play because a fan reached

over a railing to catch the ball in right field, but it appeared the ball was above the wall. Betemit drove in a run in the seventh with a double when right fielder Brennan Boesch was unable to make the catch while jumping near the wall. Alcides Escobar made it 7-2 later in the inning with an RBI single. Miguel Cabrera hit a tworun homer in the bottom half, but another wild pickoff throw helped Kansas City score a run in the eighth. “I don’t mind physical errors, but teams are going to take advantage of them,” Detroit manager Jim Leyland said. “On the two bad throws by our pitchers, that let a runner go from first to third, which means they can score on a sacrifice fly, so it is even more damaging.”

CHARL SCHWARTZEL OF SOUTH AFRICA hugs caddie Greg Hearmon after his birdie putt on the 18th hole to win the Masters on Sunday in Augusta, Ga.

Masters CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

final birdie putt that only counted toward the final margin. He won by two shots over Adam Scott and Jason Day, a pair of Australians who didn’t drop a single shot on the back nine. “Just an exciting day,” Schwartzel said. “So many roars, and that atmosphere out there was just incredible. A phenomenal day.” Indeed, this final round had it all. There was the fist-pumping charge by Tiger Woods that was slowed by two putts he missed from inside four feet. There was Luke Donald, dumping his tee shot into the pond at No. 12 only to make four birdies over the last six holes, chipping in on the last one. And then there was McIlroy, whose 80 in the final round might be remembered as much for the classy way he handled it all. Still leading by one shot as he headed to the back nine, McIlroy hit a tee shot next to the cabins left of the 10th fairway and twice hit a tree to make triple bogey. He threeputted from seven feet for bogey on the 11th, four-putted from about 12 feet on the next hole and buried his head into his forearm as the shock began to settle in. McIlroy had the highest final round by a 54-hole leader since Ken Venturi in 1956. Not

since Jean Van de Velde at Carnoustie had someone lost at least a four-shot lead going into the last round of the major. “It’s never nice to be leading a tournament and do what I did today,” McIlroy said. On the course he looked as though he wanted to hide. After the round, he looked everyone in the eye and answered every question. The steady hand came from Schwartzel, whose only bogey came on the fourth hole as this Masters was just getting warmed up. He made par on 10 consecutive holes when he began his great run. Schwartzel got up-anddown from behind the 15th green for birdie to briefly tie for the lead, only for Scott to stuff his tee shot into two feet up ahead on the par-3 16th. Schwartzel answered with a 15-foot birdie to catch Scott atop the leaderboard again. Then came the pivotal 17th, where Schwartzel took the lead, and he finished it off in style. South Africans now have won two of the last three majors, following Louis Oosthuizen winning at St. Andrews last summer. This one came on the 50th anniversary of Gary Player becoming the first international player to win the Masters. “I am absolutely delighted for Charl and South Africa. Congratulations and very well done to him. That is how you finish like a champion!” Player said on Twitter. In so many respects, this looked more like 1986 when Jack Nicklaus charged on the back nine to win a sixth green

jacket over a Hall of Fame cast of contenders. There were twice as many possibilities at this Masters, though, from Woods and former Masters champion Angel Cabrera, from Ogilvy and Donald, from K.J. Choi and Bo Van Pelt, who made two eagles on the back nine. Schwartzel set the tone early when he chipped in from some 75 feet across the green for birdie on the opening hole, then holed out from the fairway on No. 3 for eagle. Just like that, McIlroy’s fourshot lead was gone. The cheers were impossible for McIlroy to ignore. From the second green, where he was scrambling to make par, McIlroy could hear the noise ahead of him for Schwartzel’s eagles. Moments later came another roar to his right on the seventh green, where Woods stuffed one close for another birdie. Woods’ red shirt looked a little brighter. He walked a little taller. And the cheers kept coming. The biggest boom from the gallery came on the par-5 eighth, when Woods knocked in an eagle putt to reach 10 under and tie for the lead. There was no mistaking that sound, or who it was for. Over the next few minutes, more cheers could be heard from all corners of Augusta each time Woods’ score was posted on a leaderboard. He still had the back nine to play, and momentum was on his side. Not for long, though. ● Results on page 5B

KU softball falls to OSU; Big 12 skid reaches 10 J-W Staff Reports

STILLWATER, OKLA. — Kansas University blew a one-run lead in the bottom of the seventh inning in a 4-3 setback to No. 21 Oklahoma State on Sunday. With the score tied 2-all in the sixth, KU’s Liz Kocon hit an RBI double to left-center to score Maggie Hull, giving the Jayhawks a 3-2 lead. But in the bottom of the seventh, the Cowgirls’ Alysia Hamilton led off with a single to right field and advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt. Chelsea Garcia’s double into right plated Hamilton to tie it at 3. Tamara Brown hit a long single off the right-field wall to send Garcia to third. As the ball made its way from the outfield to Brittany Hile at home plate, Garcia continued home, where her slide kicked the ball out of Hile’s glove to give Oklahoma State the 4-3 margin. Freshman pitcher Kristin Martinez (12-7) came into the circle in the fifth inning for starter Allie Clark, but gave up OSU’s last two runs. Kansas fell to 27-14 overall, 0-10 in the Big 12. OSU moved to 32-9 and 33. KU will travel Wednesday to Texas Tech.

Honest relationships will keep sons close

Dear Michigan: The old adage, “A son is a son until he takes a wife; a daughter is a daughter the rest of her life,” has some basis in fact. Girls identify with their mothers, and since women tend to maintain the social structure of the home, their family pref-

sion to take her. I apologized and said I thought you only had to ask the father about marriage. Now when I see him, he refuses to shake my hand and acts insulted. Worse, because he won’t let Maria date, I only spend time with her at school. And if I go to a party without her, she gets mad. I don’t think I have done anything wrong. Is there anything I can do to bring her dad anniesmailbox@comcast.net around and possibly be able to erences win out. We recom- take Maria out? — Lovesick mend you maintain an open Teen and honest relationship with Dear Teen: If Maria cannot your boys, and when they are teens, it’s OK to tell them you hope they will stay close even after they marry. And then make friends with their wives and treat them with respect. Those women need to know you accept them without judging and will love them as if they were your own.

“Eat your vegetables. Children are starving in Europe.” I remember my grandmother saying that when I was very young and wondering what she was talking about. The phrase has endured and has been modified to embrace Asia, Africa or any other areas plagued by hunger. But I suspect my grandmother’s saying has more to do with the subject of “The Great Famine” (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings), an illuminating presentation from “American Experience.” Like the best history documentaries, “Famine” teaches you things you did not know and asks you to look at the familiar from a new perspective. In the decades since the Great Depression, President Herbert Hoover has been portrayed as a leader who did nothing while Americans plunged into poverty. That version may not be accurate, but it endures. As we learn in “Famine,” Hoover’s prepresidential image was that of a rather heroic engineer diplomat who saw government intervention and American know-how as all but invincible. Hoover had organized famine relief for starving Belgians during World War I and saved millions of Europeans from starvation after the war. “The Great Famine” concerns Hoover’s efforts to get American food and grain to the Soviet Union in 1921-22 when millions faced imminent death. Months of bad weather and blunt communist efforts to collectivize and control farmers resulted in food shortages and catastrophe. “Famine” details the men known as “Hoover’s Boys,” who would surmount vast distances, logistical nightmares and the suspicions of an openly hostile and devious Bolshevik regime to succeed. By the summer of 1922, Hoover’s men were feeding more than 11 million Soviet citizens in approximately 19,000 kitchens. Hoover had no illusions about Lenin or his government. He believed that a demonstration of American generosity and efficiency would bond the Soviets to their benefactors and help usher out the Soviet regime. Years later, Hoover admitted that he was wrong and that he had probably saved the USSR from collapse. All the same, Hoover’s efforts set an example of humanitarian concern and relief that has been followed to this day. ● “Law & Order: LA” (8 p.m., NBC) returns with two original episodes. Look for Terrence Howard as Deputy District Attorney Jonah Dekker seen in last week’s “Law & Order: SVU.” ● Thirteen, aka Dr. Remy Hadley (Olivia Wilde), returns for the 150th episode of “House” (7 p.m., Fox). Tonight’s other highlights

● An epidemic of prescription drug

abuse leads to several overdoses in one Ohio county on “Intervention In-Depth: Hillbilly Heroin” (7 p.m., A&E). ● A crime wave looms as the city sizzles on “The Chicago Code” (8 p.m., Fox). ● “Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations” (8 p.m., Travel) visits Brazil. ● Mike and Frank of “American Pickers” scour the countryside for artifacts requested by the NASCAR Hall of Fame (8 p.m., History).

Dear Annie: I am a junior in high school. I have been with my wonderful girlfriend, “Maria,” since our freshman year. Her parents won’t let her officially date until she is 16, which will be soon. Last year, at her 15th birthday party, I gave Maria a ticket to a formal dance. She was flattered, but her dad got angry, questioned me about my intentions and asked why I didn’t first get his permis-

EKRAMT

Dear Annie: When I was pregnant with my second son, my mother and others said it was “too bad” because girls stay close to their families and boys don’t. My boys are now 6 and 9, and I think of those comments every day. I have a very loving home, and I kiss my kids all the time and tell them I love them and am proud of them. We have dinners at home, and my husband and I talk to them about their lives and keep on top of schooling, friends, etc. Right now, they are sweet, affectionate kids, but I’m so worried that they will disappear when they grow older and marry. I have a co-worker who never sees her son and knows little about his daily life. While she is fine with that, it horrifies me. My husband isn’t concerned because he is close to his mom (me, too), but it still itches at my brain. I don’t want “mama’s boys,” but what can I do to keep a close relationship with my boys as they grow up? — Michigan

“KU hit me first and the hardest,” Anderson said Sunday in a phone conversation. “They did things the right way. I have respect for them for that. They’ve always been there, and they hung around the whole time. “It’s hard to say no to John Calipari and the (Kentucky) Wildcats,” he added. “Derrick Williams ... he tells me to go to Arizona. It’s tough to say no to Arizona, but this is something I want to do. It’s a gut feeling I have.” Anderson — he made a campus visit to KU the first week of March — first com-

mitted to KU assistant coach Joe Dooley during Dooley’s in-home visit to his home Saturday in Okotoks. Anderson, however, asked Dooley to keep it a secret so he could inform KU coach Bill Self of the decision Sunday morning, which he did. “Coach (Self) had no idea why I was calling. I said, ‘I’m coming to Kansas,’’’ Anderson said. “He was fired up. He said, ‘It makes my week. It makes my month now.’ This wasn’t really planned, but everything felt right. When coach Dooley showed my parents the (KU highlight) videos, it reminded me of my visit. I mean, I’m fired up. I honestly can’t wait to be part of the family in Lawrence.” He said he was sold on KU on the visit, but needed to

have his parents meet a member of the Jayhawk staff. “The best thing about my trip was the fieldhouse,” Anderson said, referring to Allen Fieldhouse. “I’m really looking forward to playing in there.” Of possible immediate playing time, he said: “When I saw the (Morris) twins sign with agents, it was an eyeopener. I’ll let hard work and play do my talking. I’m sure coach Self and his staff will make the decision on my playing time. I want to do what I can to win another championship.” Anderson’s former AAU coach, former University of San Francisco standout John Hegwood, says the Jayhawks are getting a prize player. “I’ve been coaching him since seventh, eighth grade.

He’s come a long way. He’s a workaholic,” Hegwood said. “He’s a kid who will get after it. He’ll attack the glass on both ends, hit the boards. He’s an outstanding jumper and can run the floor. “I know they have Danny Manning there. Braeden will benefit a ton from him.” Anderson sees himself as a “face up 4-man. I can play in the high-low system well. I can pass from the high post. I make the mid-range shot and can step out to three. I am probably similar to Marcus Morris, but a bit more bouncy. It’s a huge facet of my game.” As far as Anderson the person, “He’s a kid in a man’s body,” Hegwood said. “He is an enthusiastic kid. He asks a lot of questions. He wants to learn. He’s inquisitive.

love to check out estate sales to look for jewelry and accessories, which are usually vintage. On a recent weekend, I found a sweater clip at one of these sales. The clips were in good shape, but the chain had not aged well. I decided to get it because I had jewelry-making supplies at home, and I figured I could give it a new life. I wear a lot of sweaters because I’m always cold! Sweater clips are meant to keep a cardigan on when a woman is wearing it over her shoulders. As far as I can tell from looking into them a bit, they were popular in the 1950s — but they are currently being talked about in the blogosphere because the counselor character on the show “Glee” has worn them. So it’s a trend that’s both old and new. SUPPLIES ● 2 end clips — if you don’t happen to come across any, I think clip-on earrings could also work ● Needlenose pliers ● 2 eye pins ● 2 beads ● Ruler ● Wire cutters ● 2 jump rings

These have a loop at the end so you can attach it to other pieces. Using the wire cutters, trim the straight end of the pin to 1/4-inch above the top of the bead. Using the pliers, bend the pin to one side, then curl it back the other way into a loop. It should look like the loop on the other end. Repeat with the other eye pin and bead. 3.

HOLISTIC LIFESTYLE { Maria Ilardi starts own mental health practice

“C

aring came naturally to me, and I always knew I wanted to work in a helping profession,” says psychiatric registered nurse practitioner Maria Ilardi, who has recently opened a private practice in Lawrence. Born in Ridgewood, N.J., where her mother was a high school teacher and her father a pharmaceutical chemist, Ilardi attended high school at Miss Porter’s boarding school, Farmington, Conn. In her senior year, Ilardi completed an internship at the University of Connecticut hospital. “The school’s ‘winterim’ program was excellent,” she says. “Normal classes were suspended for a month, and we were able to have work experience. I followed a doctor around for a month.” Ilardi enjoyed the experience and liked the medical profession so much she decided to become a nurse. She graduated from Emory University, Atlanta, in 1988 with a Bachelor of Science in nursing. “I liked psychiatric nursing best because I got to spend more time talking and listening to patients rather than simply providing medical care,” she says. Ilardi married her husband, Steve, in 1989, and they moved to North Carolina in 1990. While he completed graduate work at Duke University, she worked as a psychiatric RN and a research coordinator at Duke Medical Center and led therapy groups. She embarked on a master’s degree in nursing at the University of North Carolina, and when she graduated in 1994, she opened a private practice in Durham, N.C., provided psychiatric home health care and served

MARIA ILARDI, a psychiatric registered nurse practitioner, recently opened a private practice in Lawrence after a decade with Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center. as a clinical instructor at North Carolina A&T State University. Ilardi moved to Lawrence in 1997, when Steve accepted a faculty position at Kansas University’s psychology department. She worked as a staff nurse at Menninger Clinic, Topeka, before moving to Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center in 2000. “I loved working at Bert Nash, but after 10 wonderful years there I was ready for a new professional challenge,” she says. “Starting a new practice when the economy is down may seem like a risk, but I felt there was a need for another psychiatric medication provider in Lawrence, and I wanted to be able to spend more time with my patients.” She set up her practice in the Reed Medical Group in order to retain social and medical connections. “Learning the business side of

the practice, insurance contracts, billing and scheduling has been quite a learning curve,” she says. “But I’m getting the hang of it and enjoying it.” Ilardi encourages patients to live healthiest and happiest life they can by taking a holistic approach to their mental and physical health. “Based on my extensive experience prescribing medications, I know psychiatric drugs can often be enormously helpful, but they frequently fail to bring about complete and lasting recovery on their own,” she says. “I continue to prescribe medication for many patients but I also encourage them to make lifestyle changes. We discuss the importance of good sleep habits, healthy diet, exercise, sunlight exposure and social support. Patients are usually pleasantly surprised to learn they have such options.”

SAYING GOODBYE TO PETS Lawrence pet care providers share how euthanasia works BY CHANSI LONG

MARY BERG, a registered veterinary technician at Gentle Care Animal Hospital, handles a coworker’s 5-year-old German shepherd mix at the clinic. Berg recently had to put down her own 15-year-old golden retriever.

ne night 18 years ago, Toby Jennings’ mom brought home a box. Toby, who was 6 at the time, didn’t know what was in it, but his older sister, Cody, had a hunch: Eerily, she’d had a dream the night before in which her mother had brought home a cardboard box, a black dog tucked inside. The dream served as a prophecy of sorts, and as the children crept closer to the container, their suspicions were confirmed. Inside was Satch, a black lab-Australian shepherd mix. “I remember not even thinking we were going to keep her for some reason,” Toby Jennings says. “I think the idea of having our own dog seemed unreal.” The family kept the dog for 14 years. There were soggy tennis balls, daily walks, back scratches and stolen candy. (The dog had once poached a 1-pound bar of chocolate from Cody’s Easter basket). There were 14 years of Satch barking whenever a conversation didn’t include her, never saying “walk” aloud unless you wanted to take Satch for one, no matter what time it was. And 14 years of nature excursions with Satch in tow: One time, when Toby went canoeing, Satch plunged into the pond, too, paddling next to the boat for the duration of the journey. But then there was arthritis so painful Satch couldn’t lay down without wincing. LAST RESORT “We finally had to commit to having her put down,” Jennings says. “She was in pain, and it was obvious.” It wasn’t easy; it never is. Euthanizing a pet is tough when it happens, and can be even tougher when unprepared. “It’s a pretty emotional time for people,” says Bill Bayouth, veterinarian at the Animal Hospital of Lawrence. “A lot of people really agonize over (losing their pets.)” Reserved for animals tormented by disease and deterioration, euthanasia is a last resort. Most veterinarians refuse to euthanize healthy animals, although in rare instances people do ask. “There are times in this economy when people just can’t afford treatment,” says Mary Berg of Gentle Care Animal Hospital, 601 Kasold Drive. “We do require an examination to ensure that euthanasia is the best option.”

WHAT TO DO WHEN YOUR FAMILY PET DIES

COMPANIONS TO THE END

● Tell your child, as calmly as possibly,

Most owners choose to be with their pets when they die. “We encourage them to be present,” says Berg, “ and a high percentage choose to be there.” After euthanasia, clinics offer two types of cremation: simple and private. Simple is a mass cremation, and ashes are discarded. Private cremation occurs individually and owners receive an urn. At Gentle Care, owners who pick private cremation receive a clay dish imprinted with their pet’s paw, as well as a death certificate. Euthanasia is usually done at an animal clinic, by appointment if possible and on emergency, if necessary. Sometimes, at the owner’s request, euthanasia is performed at home. Jennings’ dog Satch died at home. On Satch’s last day, friends and neighbors came over. They brought ice cream and hamburgers and treats. Jennings’ dad played “Dogs Run Free,” by Bob Dylan, and everyone said their goodbyes. “I thought that I would be able to handle it, but when they gave her the shot and she nervously stood up, it made me feel pretty unsure...,” Jennings says. “I couldn’t help but cry... it was far more heart wrenching than I’d expected. It made me realize how close she was to us.”

the truth. Trying to protect them with vague or inaccurate explanations can create anxiety. ● Answer all his or her questions simply,

but honestly. Parents can be models by sharing their feelings, even if they can’t answer all their questions. It will be extremely difficult for a child under the age of 9 to understand the permanence of death. ● Give them a chance to say goodbye in

For the majority of owners, euthanasia is a way of intervening after cancers and old age have battered at their pets’ quality of life, making life functions like walking, eating and breathing without struggle agonizing or impossible. “It’s the toughest decision in the world (for a pet owner) to make,” Berg says. “You know as an owner when they look at you that it’s time.” At 8:30 p.m., just a few weeks ago, Berg knew that it was time. Her obedient-trained golden retriever, Sandy, was in pain. The 14-year-old dog was clutched by the pains of arthritis and old age. One night Sandy slid into a state of constant discomfort. After Berg looked at the animal, she and her family took her to Gentle Care to have the

animal put down. Once at the office, Berg let Sandy slide under her desk, her favorite spot in the clinic, and the family huddled around the dog. There were two injections: an anesthetic agent, similar in nature to Valium, and a barbiturate, which stopped Sandy’s heart within minutes. “Once we hit the vein they just kind of go to sleep,” Bayouth says. The descent from sickness to death occurs quickly, in some cases less than a minute, which was the case when Bayouth stuck an anesthetic-filled needle into his golden retriever Andy’s vein when the animal’s health had deteriorated further. “Don’t ask me how I did it,” Bayouth says. “I figured I couldn’t abandon him at that point.”

A dog’s last dream: It doesn’t feel like goodbye B Y D AV I D C H A R T R A N D

sounds sad. So does She. So does the man in the white lab jacket. Dr. Gray is always happy, even when he’s sticking me with a needle or flushing my ears. Ear infections, knee surgeries, arthritis. Growing old is no picnic, but Dr. Gray made it possible, and painless. I cannot see Dr. Gray right now. I can only hear his footsteps approach this cold, stainless steel table where I am trying to nap. Then he steps way. I hear him whisper to Him and Her. I cannot tell what anyone is saying, but I can tell they are not happy. Something is wrong. Maybe I’m dreaming. My eyelids are heavy. I want to take a long nap and dream about happy things. Naptime is the happiest time. I consider raising my head to ask what is wrong. Even if I could raise my head I couldn’t make them understand my questions. My brain does not assign symbols to words, or words to symbols. I use body gestures — learned it watching the Discovery Channel when they thought I was asleep.

I understand some of their words, but only the ones I choose to understand. I know “walk!” and “car ride!” and special words that are shouted after I pee on the carpet. Some words make me happier than others; some confuse me. Right now I’m confused. No one is happy, but everyone loves me. I can feel it. No one has said, “car ride!” or “walk!” but it could be worse. No one has mentioned, “stool sample.” Here’s what I’ll do. I’ll leap from the table and shout, “Play!” and “car ride!” I’ll say, “What’s wrong with you guys? Let’s blow this joint and head to the park!” The heart is willing, but the legs disobey. A personal credo: “Never leave a perch unless you know the distance from perch to ground.” My hearing isn’t so hot, either. But I know approaching footsteps when I hear them. I see a white lab coat. Dr. Gray’s left hand holds something long and sharp. The magic needle. I’ve seen it before, felt it before. Dr. Gray always uses it to fix whatever hurts me. I know its quick sting, and I know what happens next. A few minutes later, nothing hurts. The hurt is gone because I am asleep, dreaming

happy dreams. My eyes close as Dr. Gray gently slides the needles under my skin. I see nothing. I can only feel. I feel the sting. I feel Her hand squeezing my foot; I feel His arms hugging my neck. Something warm and wet drips into the fur below my eyes. I’d swear the wetness is dripping from His face onto mine. I close my eyes and — this is wonderful! — the sadness is gone. Everyone is happy, especially me. I feel wonderful! My knees no longer ache and burn. I hear everything, see everything! There are no needles or stainless steel exam tables. I’m a little girl again! Where am I? Don’t know; don’t care. He and She are here, too. We’re wrestling on the carpet and taking walks. I am watching I-35 from the car window, my eyes squinting against the wind and my ears thrown straight back. It’s a dream come true. We’re all together and everyone is happy, even Dr. Gray. The dream suddenly vanishes. Through the slit of my eyelids I dimly see the sad faces again. She’s squeezing my leg much harder now. His wetness soaks the fur of my neck.

She whispers. But what is she saying? “Sleep now, baby girl. Sleep all you want.” The voice trails off. “… Bye, now.” Bye, now? “Good-bye,” He says. What? You’re not coming with me? No, no! Not good-bye! Come with me! Car ride! Play! I know what to do. I must close my eyes and return to my dream. Quickly, before they leave! It works. I am dreaming again. I can hear again. My eyes see every blade of grass. I feel like a puppy! Everyone has returned. I knew they’d never leave. I knew they’d never stop loving me. We wrestle on the carpet. She rubs my tummy. I wet the carpet. I could open my eyes if I wanted but I don’t dare. I’m having the dream of my life. — David Chartrand’s humor and commentary is distributed by StoryMarket.

CARPET RECYCLING MAKES A BIG IMPACT

nn Andersson was not looking for a business idea in 2004, but, as with many mom-preneurs, the muse came knocking on her door. “I ordered a piece of jewelry for my daughter and was disappointed in the workmanship when it arrived,” Andersson, of Lawrence, says. “I knew I could make something better myself.” And so began Hip Mom Jewelry, an online shop of custom-made, hand stamped jewelry that is now in its seventh year. The jewelry, as indicated by the company name, is tailored for mothers, with initials, names, or birthdates of their children stamped into silver pieces and worn as pendants or bracelet charms. Some are very simple, just a flat piece of silver with one elegant initial. Others are more elaborate, embellished with birthstones or small charms. The designs all originate with Andersson, herself a mother of three, although an idea for a new design can take anywhere from hours to months to come to fruition. She sources her raw metals from a recycled metal supplier and then recycles the scrap metals that don’t make their way into final products. Andersson takes joy in the ritualistic,

As a part of a group of eight women from Lawrence, Ann Andersson recently went on a two-week trip to Ethiopia to teach jewelry making to nine African women. The group’s goal was to teach the women a viable trade and give them a means of generating their own income. almost meditative, quality of designing and crafting each piece and takes pride in the quality of her work. She has personally honed each stage of the process, from crafting to refining to quality reviewing. Her jewelry-making process is more time intensive than average, as she uses a special polishing method that gives the silver a bright luster which takes the piece from “homemade” to “high end.” “I use high-grade metal and a refined polishing procedure to ensure that each piece is one that the wearer can feel good about,” Andersson says. “I want my jewelry to look handmade, but high quality, a piece that will last.” This ethic has paid off for Hip Mom Jewelry, with a steady increase in business and now three part-time employees. She has also started another business line, Sporty Girl Jewelry, making themed pieces for women athletes. Most of her customers come by word of mouth and referrals, although she does have a few wholesalers among her clientele. Gratified by the appreciation for her jewelry and the success of the business, Andersson has recently started a venue for giving back. “I have always had a heart for adoptive families, especially those that adopt from overseas,” Andersson says. “I wanted to find means of partnering with them to help

raise money toward their adoption fees.” Last year, Andersson began a program to feature several families a month as Hip Mom Jewelry adoptive families. She donates 30 percent of sales from a specific “adoption” product page toward the families’ fundraising goals. To coincide, she began a line of jewelry that is specifically geared toward parents who have adopted or are in the process of adopting a child from overseas. This line includes thematic jewelry pieces for adoptive parents of children from China, Africa and Haiti, as well as several nonspecific pieces. Andersson says, “I’m so inspired by our feature families. One of our first families to feature was adopting a special-needs child from China. They were doing anything they could to raise money toward their adoption fees — giving up eating out and recreation, taking on extra jobs... I was so happy to be a part of their journey in bringing their child home to her forever family.” Andersson’s affinity toward adoptive families has come from knowing several families who have adopted from overseas. In particular, she says she has always been particularly drawn to Africa and African children. Her desire to converge Hip Mom Jewelry with her heart for this country came together in another way just last month, as Andersson made her first trip to Africa. As a part of a group of eight women from Lawrence, Andersson went on a two-week trip to Ethiopia to teach jewelry making to nine African women. The group’s goal was to teach the women a viable trade and give them a means of generating their own income. She came back from that trip, in her own words, “different,” and more committed than ever to having her business be a means for helping others. “Working with those African women, all of whom were single mothers, and half of whom were HIV positive — it gave me a perspective that was invaluable,” she says. “I was humbled to be a part of their lives.”

LIGHT SHOW

Check out how illumination can work for your property

BY SARAH HENNING

Dr.

Ryan Grimes loves his back yard, especially now that he can see it properly. A busy doctor, he only really got to enjoy the west Lawrence space in the waning light, and after an extensive remodel of the area, he found that what light he had just wasn’t enough. “I had some tiki torches, but we didn’t really have any lighting back there,” Grimes says. “We’ve got a dining table back there, and we eat and grill and put in a fire pit. And so we just spend a fair amount of time back there just kind of hanging out with the family, then entertaining.” So, to make his entertainment-worthy space a bit more homey, Grimes had a low-voltage yard lighting system installed by Preferred Lawn Ser vice and Landscaping. The system Grimes had installed highlights the reasons local lawn care experts suggest backyard lighting: enjoyment, safety/security and beauty. “There’s a step off the patio in the back, so we’ve got a light on the edges of the step,” Grimes says of the safety issues assessed. “The other thing we’ve done is we’ve got a couple of spotlights under the deck that are kind of aimed. One’s aimed at the center of the table and the other is kind of aimed over where I have one of my grills, so you can kind of have a little bit of a work light with that as well.” For more on the ins and outs of backyard lighting, we talked with Jeff Ferguson from Preferred Lawn Service and Landscaping, Ryan Domnick of Low Maintenance Landscape and Glen Westervelt of Lawrence Landscape.

CONNIE GRIMES and her son Jackson, 5, watch the stars with husband and father Dr. Ryan Grimes in their backyard lit with low-voltage lights on Waverly Drive. They worked with Preferred Lawn Service and Landscaping on their lighting. TYPES OF LIGHTS When talking about general outdoor lighting, there are a few categories of light fixtures. Among them, as explained by Westervelt: ● Accent lighting: Uplights that can be used to light your home, walls or landscaping. These can also be used as task lighting for outdoor kitchens. Typically you’ll just see the lighting, you won’t see the fixture. ● Path lighting: Lighting to help you see where you’re going on a dedicated path. Usually, these are a bit decorative. ● Twinklers: Lights that are put up in trees and used to add beauty.

● Safety/security lighting: These are your flood light systems with motion detectors as well as lighting that illuminates a hazard like steps on your property. ● Low-voltage lighting: The Cadillac of outdoor lighting, this is the way you want to go if you are in the market for a permanent system that includes said accent, path, twinklers and security lighting. The systems work through buried cables that carry low-voltage currents to help keep those enjoying your landscaping safe. Basically, it’s the convenience and wiring of indoor lighting brought outdoors. “Low-voltage lighting was invented by a gentleman in California who wanted to be

able to have lighting outdoors but had grandkids and didn’t ever want to take a chance on them getting into a line that could really hurt them,” Ferguson says. “And so, low-voltage lighting was designed as a way to safely to be able to put that lighting outdoors in all the different kinds of weather.” ● LED. These energy-saving bulbs are the wave of the future, keeping your electric bill down, while lasting decades. But if you want such long-term, green lighting, you’re going to have to pay for it. “We’ve tried to switch over to all LED now. Just because of the energy savings. They use a lot less energy, which means that your wire sizes and your transformer can also be smaller,” Westervelt says. “Typically, it costs a little bit more money to do that, but the bulb life is 10 to 20 times that of the old incandescent bulbs.” ● Solar. And while the LED technology is there, but the price isn’t, solar lights are the opposite. The price point is great, but the lights themselves aren’t ups to snuff. All of our experts were quick to say that as far as solar lights go, the technology just isn’t there — yet. “Right now, if you buy a solar light, you can expect it to last two or three years. The panel might get dirty and corroded and break down and the fixture’s not very bright anymore,” Domnick says. “I haven’t seen any that are quite as durable or quite as bright as they should be. We’re still waiting for some better quality products to be out there.” BUYER BEWARE A word on fixtures. You get what you pay for not only in lighting systems, but in how they age. A fixture will be out in the elements, unprotected. And if you cheat on

If you’re not ready for anything permanent and just want something for a party or two, our experts suggest tiki torches, lanterns and even Christmas lights, though they say you should make sure that they’re only plugged in to covered outlets and that they’re removed when you’re not using them. “Your best bet would be to go and either buy some of those shoddy solar lights, just because they’re so

Find destinations with broad appeal for teens Wes: Last week we discussed general summer vacation planning. This week, we’ll share our favorite destinations. Since Ben is taking a decidedly woodsy perspective, I’ll go urban. Chicago is four hours door-to-door if you fly into Midway. It’s about twice that if you take the train. There are top-notch museums, culture, nightlife and sightseeing to keep teens busy. The shopping on Michigan Avenue is world-class. Best of all, you can save a lot of money with weekly transit passes on the vast public transportation system. The Mall of America in Minnesota makes for a fun road trip, particularly for teenage girls. They’ve even upgraded the indoor amusement park in the last few years. While MOA has just about everything to keep you occupied for three to five days (including an aquarium), the Minneapolis/St. Paul area also has a lot to see and do. If you don’t mind hanging around a swampland in summer, Washington, D.C., is as good as it gets. While the summer nightlife and shop-

And the food is off the charts, especially if you want to travel around the culinary world without leaving the city or suburbs. D.C. also has a great transportation system with passes. While you’re there, drop down to Colonial

Williamsburg and see the colonial reenactments. You’ll never find a better window on the early history of our country, done in a way that engages kids of all ages. It’s like being in the middle of a movie about the 1700s. While I hold to the idea that teens should have input into these plans, I’d also suggest kids give serious consideration to some new ideas and experiences. The point of travel is not to see how many generic malls exist in North America. It’s to see what exists beyond our front door. Ben: If you haven’t been to Colorado, I mean really been there, there’s no excuse for you. It’s right next door, and it’s incredible. I spent a week last summer hiking Mount of the Holy Cross with some of my best friends, and I hope to hike a couple more mountains next summer. The air is bracing, the views are majestic, and you’ll come off the mountain with a better understanding of everyone you went with. There’s bonding, and then there’s tackling a mountain together. If you want to try something hard and rewarding this summer without buying hiking boots, I am one of many teenagers

I know who would recommend that you volunteer at Camp Barnabas. Barnabas is a life-changing summer camp for kids with special needs to come together and have an incredible, fun week. This camp is always looking for teens to volunteer each week. It’s a lot of work, but I don’t know a single person who has ever regretted the experience. It’s a great opportunity to grow as a person, meet people from all around the country and have fun. If you’re interested, you can find more details at campbarnabas.org.

DOING WHAT YOU WANT When my son was very little — not even 3 — he decided, like most toddlers, that he could do whatever he wanted. In fact he decided, as an abstract principle, that everyone could do whatever they wanted. “People can do what they want!” he would declare whenever we told him, for example, to go to bed, or that he couldn’t have another piece of pizza. “People can do what they want!” he would say firmly when told to get into his bath or, for that matter, to get out of it. He grew out of this, of course. But I wonder how many of us really grow out of it. Look at a magazine rack in your local grocery store. Aside from the magazines of schadenfreude (joy in other’s misfortunes), from People to National Enquirer, and a few news and public affairs magazines, the racks are filled with hobby magazines and advice magazines, from Guns & Ammo to O: the Oprah Magazine. People can do what they want! You can do what you want!

Our ego mind, our grasping mind, tends to hear this as some kind of Nietzschean power grab — I own the universe! Bwahaha! But this saying means the opposite. It means breaking through the mind that sees only ourselves no matter where we look. And that’s the point. Why would anyone want to live a life doing what she wants?

Pair pearls with unusual materials

See graffiti print sneakers by Reebok and separates by Alexander Wang for graffiti accessory and apparel inspiration.

GRAFFITI: Look out for graffiti-esque apparel. No longer just for your old Converse sneakers — search for tops, jeans, and dresses with artsy doodles and fun scribbles. Transform part of your outfit into a walking canvas by displaying whimsical, printed, wearable art. Graffiti blouses or jeans are easiest to pull off in lighter shades, the pattern printed on faded white and crème clothing. Offset your graffiti pieces with bold-colored separates. This will give your outfit clean lines and balanced shape overall.

PEARLS: Pearl necklaces, bracelets and other jewelry items have been back in style for quite some time now, recreated for a more youthful audience. They are no longer to be reserved for strictly formal events — now pearls are popular as daily wear, an everyday accessory. For the most modern look, pick out jewelry that showcases pearls in an original, unique manner. The piece should introduce other unexpected materials and elements into the strand. I like whimsical jewelry materials, like ribbons and lace, or pieces that juxtapose two or more unexpected material combinations, like dark, raw metals next to freshwater pearls.

he best part about dressing for a new season is wearing your clothing — new or old — in a different, unique, updated fashion. For spring 2011, let your creativity run wild. Be energized by the arts and crafts of your youth. Think about new ways to wear outfits and utilize accessories in a nontraditional manner, from your grandmother’s pearls to your husband’s briefcase.

for two hip versions of updated pearl necklaces. ATTACHÉ PURSE: I have been on a longtime hunt for a purse or a tote that is just so — large enough to store my laptop and the contents of my purse, sophisticated and feminine. A modern attaché case is the perfect solution. Luckily, they are no longer for ambassadors and military related occupations! Personalize your work look with a fashion-forward attaché. Pick one with a comfortable shoulder strap and a sturdy, usable top handle. There are endless varieties available — for such an essential, functional wardrobe item, I recommend you go with your gut. Right now, I am drawn toward chain straps, oversized buckles, mixed materials, and bright colors — it is spring, after all!

Crazy better when it finds you

River City Jules

“Y

ou can’t plan crazy,” my brother, Philip, informed us at dinner our first night in New York last weekend after we asked him what he had in store for us. Being an over-planner who had spent the last six months planning an adults-only escape to the Big Apple with my husband, I had to pause at my wiser, younger, single, childless brother’s words. So far I had done nothing but plan for the trip, pretty crazy stuff, too. From extensive research of Greenwich Village apartment rentals that landed us in the heart of the Village in a 150-year-old building that (like most things old) drooped significantly in the middle, to the purchase of, immediate buyer’s remorse over and miraculous resale of two tickets to the “Spider-Man” musical, this trip had been planned and re-planned numerous times. I amassed a two-page typed list of restaurants, printed out and folded neatly into my purse. I had reserved tickets for me and my husband to see Oprah(’s designer, Nate Berkus’ new TV show). And my brother’s girlfriend, a fellow planner, had secured four tickets to a supposedly sold-out “The Book of Mormon.” By the end of Thursday night, though, we had plowed through Nate Berkus, taken a photo in Times Square and reacquainted ourselves with the subway system (thankfully before we ended up in New Jersey). It seemed there were no more surprises left. But I trusted my brother’s words and allowed crazy to happen, playing the rest of the weekend by ear, leaving most every hour open for the unexpected… We saw Robin Williams play a dead tiger on Broadway. We sipped cocktails in an old speakeasy. We bought souvenirs from vendors on Bleecker Street.

And we received last-minute tickets to “Saturday Night Live” from a longtime (and quite hilarious) family friend. As if staying up well past our bedtime wasn’t crazy enough, we witnessed Elton John’s first time on the show in nearly 30 years. Tom Hanks, Jake Gyllenhaal, Will Forte all popped up throughout the show. We watched the crew set up and tear down each scene like, as Jason Sudeikis so accurately described pre-show, a NASCAR pit crew. When the taping ended, Elton John gave an encore as a thank-you to the cast and crew (and the fabulous audience) off camera, but I’m not sure I am allowed to put the name of the song in print. Think alliteration, rhymes with “witch,” and ends with “back.” Flying high from this outstanding turn of events, we met my brother and some friends at a bar called Sing Sing where we rented a private karaoke room and entertained each other with hits from the ’80’s. Until 4:30 in the morning. Walking back to our West Village apartment, stopping for $1 pizza on the way and both laughing and cursing at ourselves for staying up so late, I realized Philip was right. We could not have planned it better if we’d tried. And, trust me, crazy is even more fun when it finds you. — Julie Dunlap can be reached at go@ljworld.com.

“These loose particles can clog the fuel line, fuel filter and carburetor.” LINDA COTTIN

Flush the bad gas out of your mower

Let us help you make the perfect selection! TIP OF THE WEEK

Color can tell you a lot about a wine’s age. White wines become darker with age and red wines become lighter.

your mower is hesitating, sputtering or simply won’t start, there is a good chance bad gas is the problem. Volatile compounds allow gas to burn. As these compounds evaporate, gas becomes less combustible and eventually turns into a gummy, varnishlike substance. Empty gas tanks and gas cans sometimes contain old gas deposits that break loose when new gas is added. These loose particles can clog the fuel line, fuel filter and carburetor. It is important to remove all traces of bad gas before refilling the tank. Step 1: Set the mower on cinder blocks or a pair of saw horses to allow easy access to its underside. Avoid tipping the mower at all costs. When a four-cycle mower is tipped, oil runs from the oil reservoir into other parts of the motor, creating a whole host of problems. If you must tip a mower, tip it backward rather than to the side Step 2: Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug by pulling the rubber cap up and off the top of the plug. Step 3: If you are lucky, there should be a fuel line running from the gas tank to the carburetor. If this is the case, set a plastic container beneath the tank, disconnect the

fuel line from the carburetor and allow the fuel to drain into the plastic container. Step 4: If you are unable to drain the gas from the fuel line, use a kitchen turkey baster or a hand siphon pump to remove as much a gas as possible from the tank. Step 5: Use rags to soak up any remaining gas and residue from the bottom of the tank. Step 6: Add a little fresh gas to the tank and, if possible, slosh it around. Drain the new gas into the plastic container, along with the rest of the bad gas. Step 7: Allow the tank to dry completely. Reattach the fuel line and the spark plug wire. Step 8: Check to see that the air filter is clean and the oil reservoir is full. Step 8: Place the mower on the ground, refill the tank with clean, fresh gas and start it up. There may be some additional sputtering for a while until the mower burns through the fresh gas and the bad fuel is flushed out of the carburetor and fuel filter. — Linda Cottin can be reached at go@ljworld.com.

Beware the Easter bunny — he may not be an easy pet A S S O C I AT E D P R E S S Every year in the weeks after Easter, a wave of rabbits turns up at animal shelters, abandoned by people who bought them for the holiday but changed their minds. Turns out, cute little bunnies can be challenging pets. If you’re thinking about getting one for Easter or any other time, here are a few things to keep in mind from Marc Morrone, host of Hallmark Channel’s “Petkeeping with Marc Morrone.” ● Rabbits can be trained to walk on a leash or harness, but you can’t let

them play freely outside; they are prey to snakes, hawks, owls, dogs, foxes, cats, raccoons and people. ● You must be prepared to commit to pet care for about a decade. Rabbits usually live eight to 12 years. ● Rabbits get nervous if you pick them up but let their feet dangle, and that can be a problem for kids who like to carry around small pets. ● Rabbits are small, but their vet bills will be similar to those for dogs or cats. They have to be spayed or neutered, they get hairballs and diseases, and they need their nails trimmed by professionals.

● Rabbits are unhappy in cages and need room to romp, but the space has to be bunny-proofed because they are constantly chewing. If there are lots of wires, expensive molding or rugs, letting them loose in the house can be dangerous to them and costly for you. They need alternatives like grass mats and wicker baskets. ● They shed and must be brushed daily, and while they are clean and can be trained to use a litter box, it can get smelly, like a cat’s. ● They prefer air-conditioning and companion rabbits.
