Wakarusa Valley School will close at the end of this school year, but it may not remain closed for long. Less than a week after members of the Lawrence school board voted to close the elementary school just southeast of Clinton Lake — a move expected to save the district $487,000 a year — administrators now are busy compiling options that could

reopen the building for different uses. The leading contender: Relocate the Lawrence Virtual School from its current home at the former Centennial School, south of Lawrence High School, to the 50year-old building on 10 acres at 1104 E. 1000 Road.

THE LAWRENCE SCHOOL BOARD VOTED to close Wakarusa Valley School, southeast of Clinton Lake, at the end of the current school year, a move projected to save the district nearly $500,000 annually. But the district may continue to use the building for other uses, such as Lawrence Virtual School.

Rare 1966 Mustang found in garage off Four Wheel Drive By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Technically, it is a 1966 Shelby GT350 Fastback with an original stoplight red paint job and a high performance motor designed by the father of the American muscle car movement. But in reality, this car is much more: It’s the type of machine that car buffs thought existed only in bar room babbling or in the grimy gossip of a gearhead garage. “This is why car guys are forever chasing cars,” said Richard Sevenoaks, owner of Tulsa-based Leake Auction Co., which specializes

in selling classic autos. “If some guy says he has a Corvette out in the field, you have to go look at it. You are always looking for the Holy Grail, but for most guys it never pans out.” Maybe fields aren’t the place to look. How about the garage of a Lawrence apartment complex? One off Four Wheel Drive, no less. “I don’t think this car has seen the sunlight for 26 years,” said Peter Pratt, a Houston attorney who took possession of the apartment complex and its garage as part of a lawsuit involving a $600,000 ruling by a Texas court against one-time Lawrence residents Rex and Gail Youngquist.

Research center studies focus on quality of life By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

Knowledge developed here is helping premature babies feed themselves, parents detect autism earlier and researchers discover why older people’s speech differs from young people’s. This is life at Kansas University’s largest research center, the Schiefelbusch Institute for Life Span Studies. The institute is concerned with just what it sounds like it might be, human development from birth to death, across the human life span. That effort brings 150 scientists together from 20 academic disciplines, and they’re all focused on research that’s “translational,” which is a fancy science word meaning it can be applied to socie-

tal needs, said John Colombo, the institute’s director. It’s not the kind of research that gets talked about every day, said Susan Kemper, a KU distinguished professor of psychology and member of the institute. “It’s easy to sell curing cancer. And it might be easy to sell building better airplanes,” she said. “I think it’s unfortunate that so much of this public dialogue has the emphasis on jobs and job creation.” The basic science behind these innovations can improve people’s lives, too, she said. And the institute also creates a lot of jobs in its own right with millions in grant funding supporting all kinds of full-time positions. Please see INSTITUTE, page 2A

It was in January when Pratt got an email from the property manager of his newly acquired complex. There was a garage full of junk — actually the “debris of life” is how the property manager described it. Old skis. Junk tools.

T O P E K A — Before going on break, Kansas legislators passed numerous bills that will affect Kansans in numerous ways, from how fast they can drive to new requirements on voting. But the one thing legislators didn’t finish was putting together a state budget for the fiscal year that starts July 1. The session will reconvene April 27, and spending proposals will be front and center. State revenues, which have tanked the past several years, continue to perform below projections. An updated revenue forecast will be done April 15, LEGISLATURE and legislators will use those numbers when negotiating differences between appropriations bills passed by the House and Senate. Entering the session, legislators faced an estimated $500 million revenue shortfall for the next fiscal year. At this point, both chambers’ plans are in the $14 billion range, with $6 billion of that coming from taxpayers. But there are significant differences between how the Senate would fund state government and how the House would. Concerning the largest portion of state funding — public schools — the Senate would cut base state aid per pupil by $226, while the House proposes a deeper cut of $250 per student. Either cut would reduce base state aid to its lowest level in a decade. But while base state aid falls, costs to renovate the Capitol continue to go up. The latest price tag is $340 million, which is triple some early estimates. The Senate budget bill includes $55 million in new bonds for the renovation, $22 million of which would fund repairs to the building’s leaky roof and dome. Here are some of the major issues the Legislature approved during the first part of the session or will continue to work on:

A POSTER CREATED BY A WAKARUSA VALLEY SCHOOL STUDENT demonstrates appreciation for efforts to save the school. The Lawrence school board voted to close the school southeast of Clinton Lake at the end of the current school year. Next will be the decision on what to do with the school building, soon to celebrate its 50th birthday.

Here’s what some of that looks like:

Helping premature babies get home Steven Barlow, a professor of speech-language-hearing, helped developed the NTrainer System, a machine that teaches premature babies how to suck using a mechanized pacifier. The pacifier mimics an optimal sucking pattern. “That’s usually the last and final hurdle that keeps the baby from going home,” he said. The devices also help babies who resist feeding orally — probably a natural response for babies used to having several tubes inserted in their nose and mouth, Barlow said. And in the neonatal intensive care unit, a speedier trip home can not only be better for the baby’s development but also can save a lot of dollars. It can cost $4,000 per day to keep a baby in the NICU, Barlow said. The thing about it, Barlow said, is it’s taken 15 years of National Institutes of Healthfunded research to get to this point. He started by working on cats and finding out how messages were relayed from the brain to the face. Building on that basic science to get to the translational stuff takes time and money, he said. “We have to be advocates for the basic science, always,” he said. Grant writing today has taken a much more patientfocused turn, and it’s much different submitting a grant today than it was 20 years ago, he said.

Legislature CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Abortion Anti-abortion groups have won several major victories with the Legislature sending to Gov. Sam Brownback, an abortion opponent, a bill tightening restrictions on abortions after the 21st week of pregnancy based on the assertion that fetuses can feel pain. The bill also requires doctors to get written parental consent for an abortion before a minor can get an abortion. Also likely to pass is a bill outlining new regulations on abortion clinics and allowing unannounced state inspections. Speed and bike safety The Legislature approved a bill that would increase the speed limit to 75 mph on some divided, four-lane highways, allow motorcyclists and bicycle riders to proceed through “dead” red lights, and require vehicles to give bicyclists three feet of space when passing on the left. Voter ID Starting next year, Kansans will have to show a photo ID to vote under a bill headed to Brownback’s desk and one

Detecting autism earlier Christa Anderson is a research associate in the institute looking at ways to detect autism earlier. One method she’s found involves children’s pupil sizes. It’s important to look for physiological signs of development, because a child won’t always be reliable when telling a researcher, for example, whether he recognizes a word. But by using a machine that looks at pupil size and tracks eye movement on a computer screen, Anderson can tell what a child is looking at. So when the computer says “tractor,” she knows the child is actually looking at the tractor and not the dog, the cake or the fence that’s also on the screen. And if the child doesn’t recognize the word, the eye movement is much more scattered. She said she’s doing what she does because she enjoys helping children and parents, who often come in laden with more questions than answers, and are seeking help. The hugs help, too. “A lot of times, (science) isn’t as rewarding,” she said. “You don’t see as big of a change as you do with kids.” Looking at ‘elderspeak’ Kemper is looking at the way people communicate and how and why older people’s speech differs from younger people’s speech. This Journal-World reporter took Kemper’s test that measures how well people can do two things at once. It involves an old test called a “pursuit rotor.” A small dot moves around in a circle on a computer screen. Using a trackball, I had to keep the mouse cursor on the dot. When it was on the dot, it turned green. When the cursor was off the

that he says he supports. Secretary of State Kris Kobach made the bill one of his major priorities during the session. The legislation will also require that, starting in 2013, new Kansas voters show proof of citizenship to register to vote.

AT&T The Legislature removed price caps on AT&T for basic residential and business phone service. Supporters of the bill acknowledged the measure will lead to increased rates. Immigration Bills that would have established Arizona-like anti-illegal immigration rules, and repealed a state law that allows some undocumented students to pay in-state tuition, have failed so far. Brownback has indicated nonsupport of both bills. Kansas drew national attention last month when state Rep. Virgil Peck, R-Tyro, made a comment that perhaps the state should consider shooting illegal immigrants from helicopters. Peck said he had been joking. He later apologized under pressure from Republican leaders. Several civil rights groups have called on Peck to resign, which he has refused to do.

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -WORLD dot, it turned red. A program kept score. My first attempt I stayed on the dot about 69 percent of the time. The next time, though, she had me tell a story. I told her about my last vacation, and tried to stay on the dot, too. My dot score went up — to 78 percent. But my story was awful. I sounded, she said, a bit like an older adult (I should mention I’m 28 years old). I spoke in sentence fragments, I forgot the names of places and all kinds of other things. But for older adults, the results are different. They’ve adapted better. They speak the same, but their dot score goes way down. That’s because the older you are, the greater the costs of losing your communication skills, Kemper said. Younger people can get away with stammering, losing their place in sentences and the like. But older people can get accused of slipping into dementia or a whole host of other things if their communication skills aren’t on target. This kind of research — especially on normally functioning people — can help set a baseline for research later that could help detect the onset of diseases like Alzheimer’s disease. Colombo said he’s proud of the diverse research of the institute. Though the institute brought in $28.7 million in 2010, it still depends on state funding, too, he said, in support of its 150 funded projects. “It’s a hard case to make because we’re in tough times now, but over the long haul, it seems like a no-brainer,” he said. — Higher education reporter Andy Hyland can be reached at 832-6388. Follow him on Twitter at twitter.com/LJW_KU.

Taxes Despite revenue problems, Republicans in the Legislature continue to work on tax cuts. Brownback has pushed for a plan that would give a 5year income tax holiday to residents moving from out of state to any Kansas county that has seen a population decline of 10 percent or more since the 2000 Census. He also wants tax credits for expensing of capital purchases by businesses. A group of Republicans in the House and Senate are seeking reductions in individual and corporate income taxes. An attempt to repeal the 1-cent state sales tax increase that went into effect July 1 failed in the House. Arts funding The Kansas Senate rejected Brownback’s executive order to abolish the Kansas Arts Commission and replace it with a nonprofit fundraising group. State funding of the commission, however, is still up in the air. — Statehouse reporter Scott Rothschild can be reached at 785-423-0668.

Retiring Fort Riley soldiers stay in Kansas JUNCTION CITY — Many Fort Riley soldiers are choosing to stay in Kansas after they retire from the Army. “These people are amazing,” said Sgt. Maj. Steve Waller, set to retire to nearby Clay Center within a year. “Most places, they see the military as an income, but here you’re immediately friends and neighbors. “Kansas is the only place where I walk into Walmart and people want to shake my hand and say thanks. No place have we felt more welcome.”

Fort Riley officials said about 300 of their soldiers retire annually. The Army estimates 3,400 of its retirees, many with families, are now living in the area, according to the Wichita Eagle. Although Fort Riley officials say they don’t track the percentage of soldiers who stay after retirement, Todd Moore of the Junction City Chamber of Commerce estimates more than half of those currently retiring from Fort Riley are staying in the area.

Entrenched leader calls for resistance With most of the country now controlled by his opponent, and with both his home and the presidential palace surrounded, Ivory Coast’s strongman Laurent Gbagbo on Saturday issued a final call to arms, fighting to defend his 10-year grip on power. Plagued by mass defections inside his ranks including that of his top commander, Gbagbo appeared defeated just hours earlier. But the armed group aiming to install the country’s democratically elected leader, Alassane Ouattara, faced a major setback when Gbagbo’s troops retook the state television station after they had held it for more than 12 hours. The battle for Abidjan, the country’s most important city, has come at a terrible price. On Tuesday, the day after Ouattara’s forces took the western town of Duekoue, intercommunal fighting broke out, killing at least 800 people, according to the International Committee of the Red Cross. In Abidjan, residents have cowered inside their homes, sleeping in bathrooms and under their beds for fear of stray bullets. 2 | WASHINGTON, D.C.

Obama calls for shift to clean energy President Barack Obama says shifting the U.S. away from imported oil and toward cleaner forms of energy will add momentum to a trend that has led to 1.8 million new jobs in the past 13 months. Obama used his weekly radio and Internet address Saturday to promote his ideas for bringing down gasoline prices by decreasing U.S. dependence on foreign oil. A blueprint he outlined in a recent speech calls for increasing domestic oil exploration and production, making cars and trucks more energy efficient and building vehicles that run on alternative fuels or electricity. Noting that the U.S. doesn’t have enough oil reserves to meet its needs, he set a goal of reducing imports by one-third by 2025. “By doing so, we’re going to make our economy less vulnerable to wild swings in oil prices,” Obama said. “We’re going to use cleaner sources of energy that don’t imperil our climate. And we’re going to spark new products and businesses all over the country by tapping America’s greatest renewable resource: our ingenuity.” 2 | WASHINGTON, D.C.

Cadets rise to challenge ROTC groups from across U.S. test their endurance in Best Ranger Buddy Team contest By Shaun Hittle sdhittle@ljworld.com

They started with a 10k run at 6 a.m., then spent the rest of the day competing in grueling physical challenges before finishing with another 10k run. Just a fun way to spend the day for the 99 teams of ROTC cadets from colleges across the country competing in Saturday’s 17th annual Best Ranger Buddy Team Competition at Clinton Lake. There was a lot of huffing and puffing, but it’d be difficult to find any cadets who’d complain about the challenges designed to build stamina and camaraderie. After running through the “litter carry” portion of the course, where a two-person team carries a 185-pound dummy body up a hill and over obstacles, Marquette University senior Kyle Werner wouldn’t admit to being tired. “Definitely not,” said Werner enthusiastically between large gasps for oxygen. Cadet John Bergman, a KU junior, was competing alongside fellow KU cadet Stewart McConnell. The two were aiming to win in the all-male category, which in the end, they did. Before running off to the weapons assembly portion, Bergman, competing for the third straight year with rookie McConnell, said the key to winning was simple. “Consistency,” Bergman said, explaining that it wasn’t necessary to win every event, but to finish in the top 10 in all seven portions, which also included a hand grenade assault course, knot-tying competition, a mystery event and an obstacle

As the wind industry in Kansas booms, state highway officials are looking at how to better manage the trucks needed to carry pieces of the massive wind turbines. Today, Kansas roadways see seven times more trucks carrying extremely heavy loads of wind tower components than they did five years ago. “It’s a growing sector of the manufacturing sector, not only in Kansas but other central states,” said John Maddox, Kansas Department of Transportation’s rail and freight program manager. In 2010, KDOT recorded more than 7,500 truck loads of 150,000 pounds or more carrying wind tower components. In 2006, the number of these extremely heavy loads was less than 1,000. Some of the loads are coming from out of state and heading toward Kansas wind farms under construction and others are just passing through the state, Maddox said.

Watching Kansas University’s loss to Virginia Commonwealth University might have some basketball fans upset at the team’s free-throw shooting ability. Two local charities are giving people the opportunity to see whether they’re up to snuff at the line. Wayne Simien’s organization, Called to Greatness, and Family Promise will play host to the Wayne Simien Benefit Free Throw Challenge next weekend, April 9-10. Finalists in six age groups, ranging from fourth-graders to senior citizens, will compete for a chance to shoot in the final round at Allen Fieldhouse and for prizes.

“This is a big basketball town. If you listen to people, they cannot understand why people miss free throws,” said Joe Reitz, an organizer of the event and founder of Family Promise, which provides assistance for homeless families with children. Simien said he and Reitz wanted to find a different type of fundraiser for Lawrence. “It’s a lot more different when you’re toeing the line and there’s something at stake,” said Simien, who once made 34 consecutive free throws in his time as a player at KU. Saturday’s competition will have contestants shooting between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. at one of five gyms. Each person will shoot 20 free throws

Washburn pushing to attract students from India

T O P E K A ( AP ) — Students from India are the latest target in Washburn University President Jerry Farley’s efforts to attract more international students to the school’s campus in Topeka. Farley and Baili Zhang, director of international programs at Washburn, recently spent six days in India working to form relationships with Indian universities and to persuade some students from that country to go to college in Topeka. This effort comes after Farley’s four trips to China helped persuade more than 70 Chinese students to attend Washburn. “We think international education is important,” Farley said. “We think international student exchange is important to provide our students with a different perspective of the world and to provide the opportunity for students from other coun-

tries to learn about us.” Farley’s third visit to India included stops in three cities connected with five universities. The university signed an agreement to become partners with Symbiosis International University and a limited agreement with two Indian recruiting firms to help market Washburn. He also interviewed two students who will enroll in Washburn’s master’s of business administration program in the fall. “They recognize that education, as does China, is the way to economic prosperity,” he said. “They look at our model. That’s what we did in this country. The more educated people we have, the better the jobs are. And they see that.” Washburn has around 200 international students on campus, including only one from India. It sends 100 to 200 abroad each year.

in four minutes with a oneminute warm-up. Teams of five may also compete. The top five contestants in each group will then compete at Allen Fieldhouse from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday by shooting 12 one-and-one shots. Prizes and trophies will be awarded to winners, and the money from entry fees will benefit both charities. To register online, go to iamctg.org or lawrencefamilypromise.org. Individual registration is $10, and for a member of a team it’s $15.

Kansas economy, the heavy loads needed to get wind turbines to their destinations will damage the roads over time. “We do keep it in the back of our minds,” said John Culbertson, a bridge evaluation engineer at KDOT. That impact to the roadways is one of the reasons KDOT is updating its permitting process of routing overweight and oversized loads from a paper system to one that uses Web-based software. As part of the permitting process, KDOT analyzes what routes the trucks should take to avoid bridges that can’t hold the weight, low underpasses and narrow construction zones. In 2010,

KDOT issued 70,000 permits for oversized or overweight loads. More than 1,000 of those permits were for overweight trucks carrying wind tower components. The new software system, known as Kansas Truck Routing and Intelligent Permitting System, will automatically generate and evaluate alternate routes for large loads. “There is a concern,” Culbertson said about the heavy wind turbine loads that are carried over Kansas roads. “This is one of the reasons for the new software. It will help us track and plan a little bit better.”

WHEEL GENIUS

Road work planned this week Lawrence ● City maintenance crews are working on a microsurfacing program. Roads throughout the city will be repaved and resurfaced. Lane reductions and possible street closures may occur during the process. To find out what streets the city has targeted, visit the city’s website at www.ci.lawrence.ks.us. ● On Kasold Drive between Clinton Parkway and 31st Street, both directions of traffic have moved to the southbound lanes of Kasold. Each direction is narrowed to one lane as crews work to rebuild the roadway. Access from side streets is right-turn only. The project is expected to last for several months. ● From 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. weekdays, Indiana Street will have no parking and is closed to through traffic from Sixth Street to Eighth Street and Third Street to Sixth Street. ● 16th Street from Massachusetts to New Hampshire streets is closed to through traffic as crews work on a sanitary sewer project. Intermittent closures will occur on 15th Street from Massachusetts

to New Hampshire streets.

Douglas County ● The city of Eudora has closed North 1300 Road, also known as White Dog Road, which is just east of Route 1061. The road will be closed for improvements. ● Douglas County Road 9 is closed between U.S. Highway 24-40 and Interstate 70. The road will be closed so crews can work on bridge construction. It will remain closed until late spring. U.S. Highway 59 ● North 200 Road is closed at U.S. Highway 59 for frontage road construction work. The road will be tied to the new frontage road that runs parallel to the new U.S. Highway 59. Work is scheduled to be completed in late 2012. U.S. Highway 56 ● A bridge replacement project is under way just west of the U.S. Highway 75 junction in Osage County. About .44 mile west of the junction, both eastbound and westbound lanes of U.S. Highway 56 will be closed to all but local traff ic. A marked detour will take drivers through Burlingame

to Osage City and then back to U.S. Highway 7. The project is expected to be finished in mid-June.

Interstate 70 ● Kansas Turnpike Authority is reconstructing a three-mile stretch of highway just east of Lawrence. Traffic will be narrowed to one lane in each direction from mile marker 208 to mile marker 211. Access to the Lawrence Service Area will remain open. Delays are expected during rush hour. The project will be finished by November. ● A bridge replacement project is under way for the 142nd Street bridge spanning the Kansas Turnpike in Leavenworth and Wyandotte counties. The northbound and southbound lanes on 142nd Street will be closed between Kansas Avenue and Riverview Avenue. The stretch of road will remain closed for the duration of the project. As part of the project, daily lane closures could occur on the eastbound and westbound lanes of I-70 and the right shoulder of the road. The project should be complete in late fall.

A 1966 SHELBY GT350 FASTBACK was found in a garage at a Lawrence apartment complex after the property was handed over as part of a lawsuit ruling. Attorney Peter Pratt, who took possession of the car, believes it hadn’t been moved in 26 years.

Long story short, Pratt has a car to do something with. Pratt admits that he’s not exactly a car buff, but he knew it was something special. The folks at Lawrence’s Hillcrest Wrecker went to remove it from the garage. When they saw it, they told the property manager it couldn’t be stored at the Hillcrest lot. Too much liability. So Pratt told them to bring it to Houston when they got the chance. It was there the next day. “It’s a real rare car,” said Gary Bennett, of Lawrence’s Laird Noller Ford and an avid Mustang collector. “A Shelby is definitely one of the most collectible American cars out there. There is no question about that.” Pratt had it dropped off at a friend’s garage. The mechanic put new fluids in the car, a new battery, and air in the tires. It fired right up.

— Peter Pratt, a Houston attorney who took possession of a Lawrence apartment complex and its garage as part of a lawsuit ruling. The 1966 Shelby GT350 Fastback was found in the garage. But you never know until the hands start going up in the air. Pratt won’t be shocked if it goes higher than that. The car is rare in a way other than being that mythical “barn find,” as such stories are known in the collector-car world. ●●●

This car is a Shelby that was sold to Hertz, who used it as part of a “Rent-a-Racer” program — which allowed people to rent a hot rod on Friday, take it to the track all weekend and bring it back on Monday.

Only about 1,000 of those special Hertz Shelbys were produced. And nearly all of them were painted in a blackand-gold scheme. Only a few came in the red and white. Pratt has found one document that suggests only 50 were painted in that scheme. Sevenoaks doesn’t know. He just knows he has never seen one. Bennett, at Laird Noller, has a valuation book that lists a pristine black-andgold Hertz Shelby going for as much as $220,000. Even a middle-of-the-line model can go for about $100,000. While Bennett is looking up those numbers, someone points out that the car all these years had been sitting off Four Wheel Drive. That is within eyesight of almost every major auto dealership in Lawrence, including one operated by Bennett. Huh, isn’t life funny? “Yeah,” Bennett says. “That would have been a good one to find.” What else can you say? — City reporter Chad Lawhorn can be reached at 832-6362. Follow him at Twitter.com/clawhorn_ljw.

●●●

The Houston attorney began doing a little research. There was a service book that showed the car had its oil changed at a Conoco station in 1976. It had about 84,000 miles on it at the time. It now has 87,000 miles on it, and based on the dates of its lapsed registration, Pratt believes it hadn’t been moved from the garage in 26 years. “This is one of the more interesting ones I’ve found, and when you live the life of a receiver, you find some pretty interesting ones,” Pratt said. Sevenoaks, the auctioneer, is scheduled to complete the story next week. The car will be sold at a classic car auction in San Antonio on Saturday. He has placed a conservative auction estimate of $80,000 on the vehicle.

P H O E N I X — Flight attendants had just begun to take drink orders when the explosion rocked the cabin. Aboard Southwest Flight 812, Shawna Malvini Redden covered her ears, then felt a brisk wind rush by. Oxygen masks fell, the cabin lost pressure, and Redden, now suddenly lightheaded, fumbled to maneuver the mask in place. Then she prayed. And, instinctively, reached out to the stranger seated next to her in Row 8 as the pilot of the damaged aircraft began a rapid descent from about 34,400 feet in the sky. “I don’t know this dude, but I was like, ‘I’m going to just hold your hand,’” Redden, a 28-year-old doctoral student at Arizona State University,

recalled Saturday, a day after her Phoenix-to-Sacramento flight was forced into an emergency landing at a military base in Yuma, Ariz., with a hole a few feet long in the roof of the passenger cabin. No serious injuries were reported among the 118 people aboard, according to Southwest officials. What caused part of the fuselage to rupture on the 15year-old Boeing 737-300 was a mystery, and investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board arrived Saturday in Yuma to begin an inquiry. NTSB board member Robert Sumwalt said investigators were going to cut a piece out of the fuselage, which would be studied for fracture patterns. He said they would also examine the plane’s black box and flight recorders, which arrived Sat-

urday at NTSB headquarters in Washington, D.C. Southwest, meanwhile, grounded about 80 similar planes so that they could be inspected, and said that as a result some 300 flights were being canceled Saturday. Airline spokeswoman Linda Rutherford said it was too soon to estimate the cost of grounding a portion of its fleet. Southwest operates about 170 of the 737-300s in its fleet of about 540 planes, but it replaced the aluminum skin on many of the 300s in recent years, Rutherford said. The planes that were grounded Saturday have not had their skin replaced, she said. “Obviously we’re dealing with a skin issue, and we believe that these 80 airplanes are covered by a set of (federal safety rules) that make them candidates to do

High-end medical option prompts Medicare worries By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON — Every year, thousands of people make a deal with their doctor: I’ll pay you a f ixed annual fee, whether or not I need your services, and in return you’ll see me the day I call, remember who I am and what ails me, and give me your undivided attention. But this arrangement potentially poses a big HEALTH threat to Medicare and to the new world of medical care envisioned under President Barack Obama’s health overhaul. The spread of “concierge medicine,” where doctors limit their practice to patients who pay a fee of about $1,500 a year, could drive a wedge among the insured. Eventually, people unable to afford the retainer might find them-

selves stuck on a lower tier, facing less time with doctors and longer waits. Medicare recipients, who account for a big share of patients in doctors’ offices, are the most vulnerable. The program’s financial troubles are causing doctors to reassess their participation. But the impact could be broader because primary care doctors are in short supply and the health law will bring in more than 30 million newly insured patients. If concierge medicine goes beyond just a thriving niche, it could lead to a kind of insurance caste system. “What we are looking at is the prospect of a more explicitly tiered system where people with money have a different kind of insurance relationship than most of the middle class, and where Medicare is no longer as universal as we would like it to be,” said John Rother, policy director for AARP. Concierge doctors say they’re not out to exclude

anyone, but are trying to recapture the personal connection shredded by modern medicine. Instead of juggling 2,000 or more patients, they can concentrate on a few hundred, stressing prevention and acting as advocates with specialists and hospitals. “I don’t have to be looking at patient mix and how many are booked per hour,” said Dr. Lewis Weiner, a primary care physician in Providence, R.I., who’s been in a concierge practice since 2005. “I get to know the individual,” Weiner said. “I see their color. I see their moods. I pick up changes in their lives, new stressors that I would not have found as easily before. It’s been a very positive shift.” Making the switch can also be economically rewarding. If 500 patients pay $1,500 apiece, that’s gross revenue of $750,000 for the practice. Many concierge doctors also bill Medicare and private insurance for services not covered by their retainer.

this additional inspection that Boeing is devising for us,” Rutherford said. Julie O’Donnell, an aviation safety spokeswoman for Seattle-based Boeing Commercial Airplanes, confirmed “a hole in the fuselage and a depressurization event” in the latest incident but declined to speculate on what caused it. A total of 288 Boeing 737300s currently operate in the U.S. fleet, and 931 operate worldwide, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. “The FAA is working closely with the NTSB, Southwest Airlines and Boeing to determine what actions may be necessary,” the FAA said Saturday.

Obama intervenes in budget talks By Darlene Superville Associated Press Writer

W A S H I N G T O N — President Barack Obama pressed the House and Senate leaders Saturday to agree to a budget in time to avert what he says would be an economically harmful government shutdown, but restated his opposition to certain spending cuts and other provisions insisted upon by Republicans. Obama delivered the message in separate telephone conversations with House Speaker John Boehner, ROhio, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., the White House said. Negotiations continued Saturday on a bill to fund government operations through

Sept. 30, the end of the budget year. They have zeroed in on cuts in the $33 billion range, but haven’t agreed on Obama where to make them. Government funding expires at midnight Friday. Much of the government would shut down without a new budget in place. Complicating matters from the White House view are non-spending provisions that Republicans want to put in the budget to block the Environmental Protection Agency from implementing

regulations on various industries and ban funding for Planned Parenthood. Obama told the leaders that he opposes using the budget process to “further an ideological agenda” by pursuing issues that aren’t related to reducing spending or the deficit, the White House said. Obama also said he objects to cuts that would undermine economic growth and job creation. He said shutting the government would hurt the economy just as it’s beginning to create jobs. On Friday, the government reported that the unemployment rate had fallen to a two-year low of 8.8 percent in March and that the economy added 216,000 jobs last month.

AFGHANISTAN

Envoy: U.N. workers were hunted down and killed KABUL , A FGHANISTAN (AP) — Fearing for their lives, the U.N. workers dashed into a dark bunker hoping to escape the mob of Afghan protesters angry over the burning of a Quran by a Florida church. Hope wasn’t enough for three of them. They were hunted down and brutally slain — their bodies found later in three different parts of the compound in northern Afghanistan. “They were killed when they were running out of the bunker,” said Staffan de Mistura, the top U.N. envoy in Afghanistan, who recounted their harrowing deaths to reporters on Saturday evening. “One was pulled out alive because he pretended to be a Muslim.” De Mistura spoke in a somber tone as he described how three U.N. staff members and four Nepalese guards were killed Friday when the protesters stormed their compound in the normally peaceful city of Mazari-Sharif. He placed direct blame on those who burned a copy of the Muslim holy book in Gainesville, Fla., last month, stoking anti-foreign sentiment that already was on the rise after nearly a decade of war in Afghanistan. “The demonstration was meant to protest against the insane and totally despicable gesture by one person who burned the holy Quran,” he said. He also said the U.N. building would not have been attacked if there had been an adequate cordon of Afghan police separating the demonstrators and the compound. A formal inquiry is under way, but de Mistura said initial reports indicate that seven to 15 insurgents infiltrated a group of as many as 3,000 demonstrators who overran the U.N. compound, which was protected by Afghan policemen and six U.N.-hired Nepalese guards. The crowd overpowered the guards — who are instructed not to shoot into crowds of civilians, even if they are threatening — and the police were not able to stop them, he said. Four of the Nepalese guards were killed; some were shot in the yard of the compound. Three Afghan U.N. workers survived by melding into the surging crowd, he said. Four Afghan protesters also were killed in the riot. Protesters had set fire to cars and an electric generator in the U.N. compound so the bunker was dark. It was the only safe place for the four foreign U.N. workers on the compound, including the Russian chief of mission. But the door of the bunker was made to withstand a bomb attack, not the sheer force of a crowd of people trying to get inside. When the killers forced themselves inside they saw Pavel Ershov, the mission chief who is fluent in Dari, one of two languages spoken in Afghanistan. They beat him, but stopped after he con-

Two died of bullet wounds. The third was killed with a knife to the throat. They were identified by officials in their home countries as: Joakim Dungel, a 33year-old Swede who worked on human rights; Lt. Col. Siri Skare, a 53-year-old female pilot from Norway who was an adviser; and Filaret Motco, a 43-year-old Romanian who worked in the political section of the U.N. De Mistura said he was concerned that the deaths of the foreigners would give people, especially in the West, a reason to argue against continued involvement in the nearly decadelong Afghan war. He said the U.N. would not pull out of Afghanistan, but that he was temporarily redeploying 11 U.N. workers from Mazar-iSharif to Kabul because they can no longer work in the office, which was destroyed and looted.

More riots Saturday Afghans rioted for a second day Saturday to protest the burning of a Quran in Florida, killing nine people in Kandahar and injuring more

than 80 in a wave of violence that underscored rising antiforeign sentiment after nearly a decade of war. The protests come at a critical juncture as the U.S.-led coalition gears up for an insurgent spring offensive and a summer withdrawal of some troops, and with Afghanistan’s mercurial president increasingly questioning international motives and NATO’s military strategy. Two suicide attackers disguised as women blew themselves up and a third was gunned down Saturday when they used force to try to enter a NATO base on the outskirts of Kabul, NATO and Afghan police said. Karzai expressed regret for the 20 protest deaths, but he also further stoked possible anti-foreign sentiment by again demanding that the United States and United Nations bring to justice the pastor of the Dove Outreach Center in Gainesville, Florida, where the Quran was burned March 20. Many Afghans did not know about the Quran-burning until Karzai condemned it four days after it happened. U.S. President Barack Obama extended his condolences to the families of those killed by the protesters and said desecration of the Quran “is an act of extreme intolerance and bigotry.” But he said that does not justify attacking and killing innocent people, calling it “outrageous and an affront to human decency and dignity.”

R.O.I.: RETURN ON IMPROVEMENT If you plan to remodel or update before selling your home, you have to find the balance between what’s appropriate and what qualifies as over-improvement. If you’re in a mid-range neighborhood and install granite countertops, you’re unlikely to recoup your costs. But if you’re in a higher-end community, laminate may be too little, too late, resulting in a lower sales price. So what will always work? Painting, inside or out, is one of the most affordable ways to increase your resale value. If you’ve got wood floors underneath carpeting, show them off. Old light fixtures in the kitchen, bath and hallways should be updated to popular styles with stainless steel or brushed nickel finishes. And be sure to

make a good first impression outdoors with a maintained yard and perhaps a new mailbox, doorknobs and house numbers. Before you plan your updates, visit some open houses or new home communities where you can see the latest styles, and update your home’s features accordingly. Just remember to keep your improvements clean, neutral and timeless. Try not to be the last one on your block to remodel or update, because buyers will pass your listing over for one up the road that’s already been updated.

As U.S. begins to ease off in Libya, Gadhafi holds on By Robert Burns Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON — Two weeks after a dark-of-night barrage of mostly U.S. missiles and bombs opened the international air assault on Libya’s Moammar Gadhaf i, the American combat role is ending, the rag-tag rebels are reeling and the Pentagon is betting its European allies can finish the job. Gadhafi is still standing, with a few uncertain signs that his inner circle could crack. The Obama administration is hoping that if Gadhafi’s government doesn’t implode soon, a relentless campaign of airstrikes on his tanks, air defenses and most trusted army units will at least weaken his ability to survive a renewed uprising by a disjointed opposition. The rebels initially rattled Gadhafi but in recent days have given up most of their gains. The bottom line, according to Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff: “He’s still killing his people.” So the mission remains incomplete, but the U.S. is following through on a pledge to shift the main combat burden to Britain, France and other NATO allies. Starting today, no U.S. combat aircraft are to fly strike missions in Libya. NATO’s on-scene commander can request American strikes in the days ahead, in which case they may have to be approved in Washington. On Saturday, U.S. combat aircraft flew 24 strike missions in Libya, the Pentagon said. A NATO airstrike intended to thwart Gadhafi’s forces killed 13 rebel fighters in eastern Libya instead, the opposition said Saturday, but they described it as an “unfortunate accident” and stressed it did not diminish their sup-

LIBYAN REBELS RIDE IN THE BACK OF A TRUCK Saturday as they head toward the frontline near Brega, Libya. NATO said on Saturday that it was investigating Libyan rebel reports that a coalition warplane had struck a rebel position that was firing into the air near the eastern front line of the battle with Gadhafi’s forces. port for the international air campaign. Some in Congress, including Sen. John McCain, the ranking Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, have criticized the decision to withdraw U.S. combat aircraft from the regular cycle of NATO strikes. Also withdrawing from the combat mission today will be the initial workhorses of the military campaign: U.S. Navy destroyers and submarines that launched Tomahawk cruise missiles from their positions in the Mediterranean Sea. No Tomahawks were fired Saturday, the Pentagon said. The U.S. planes and naval vessels will be on standby in case NATO commanders decide their forces cannot handle the mission on their own. Combat air missions will continue to be flown by Britain, France and other NATO member countries. A larger group of participating air forces will patrol over Libya to ensure that Gadhafi’s air force stays grounded. U.S. planes will support them with refueling aircraft

and electronic jammers. The Navy began the operation March 19 with 11 ships in the Mediterranean. As of Friday, nine remained: the submarines USS Florida and USS Scranton; destroyers USS Stout and USS Barry; amphibious warships USS Kearsarge and USS Ponce; the command ship USS Mount Whitney; and two supply ships, USNS Robert E. Peary and USNS Kanawha. The subs and the destroyers are armed with Tomahawks. Marine Harrier attack planes launch from aboard the Kearsarge, and the Mount Whitney had served as a floating command post for the American admiral who was the on-scene commander until NATO took control Thursday. The Mount Whitney remains assigned to the mission but the new operational commander, Canadian Lt. Gen. Charles Bouchard, is working ashore at his NATO headquarters in Naples, Italy. The U.S. Navy is likely to peel more ships away from the mission in coming days, including some of those with Tomahawks.

Nevertheless, the disturbing discovery points at the unexpected problems that can crop up and continue to hamper technicians trying to control the crisis.

More than 165,000 are still living in shelters, and tens of thousands more still do not have electricity or running water. Although the government had rushed to provide relief, its attention has been divided by the efforts to stabilize the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant, which suffered heavy damage and has dragged the country to its worst nuclear crisis since the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II.

District direction Budget cuts will pose many important challenges for newly elected members of the Lawrence school board.

any important decisions will be made by current Lawrence school board members before they leave office at the end of June, but continuing state funding cuts ensure that many important and difficult decisions also will await new board members who take office on July 1. Although three incumbent board members chose not to seek re-election this year, Lawrence is fortunate to have a strong field of nine candidates, including one incumbent, seeking to fill four board positions on this year’s ballot. Most of the candidates are seeking elective office for the first time, but they offer a variety of personal and professional experience and expertise, along with a desire to serve. It’s important that voters get to know these candidates through forums, interviews and news stories available on LJWorld.com so they can make educated choices at the polls on Tuesday. The current board has voted to close one elementary school next fall, but it likely will fall to the new board to decide how or whether to implement the elementary school task force’s recommendations to further reduce the number of elementary schools in the district. Reduced state funding also will force the board to make difficult choices about the district’s priorities. For instance, athletics and other extracurricular activities are important, but, if push comes to shove, are they more important than full-day kindergarten, smaller classes, vocational training, retaining highquality teachers or other factors that influence student achievement? It’s important for voters to look not only at what candidates think about these issues now, but how they will work with the public to set priorities for the district in the future. Board members need to share as much information as they can and listen carefully to the community they serve. With any luck, emotionally charged issues such as possible school closings may increase interest in the school board election and boost voter turnout for both the school board and City Commission elections on Tuesday. Regardless of the cause, higher voter concern and turnout is a positive development in local elections. Following one public forum, one candidate complimented his fellow candidates by saying that it would be hard for voters to go wrong this year and choosing from among the school board candidates would be primarily a matter of “personal preference.” That may be true, but there are differences among the candidates, and voters still face an important choice. The right to express a “personal preference” about the people who will set the future direction for Lawrence schools is something district voters shouldn’t take lightly.

Libya’s future hard to predict — or guide The only person who has spoken with clarity about the endgame in Libya is the mother of Eman alObeidi. Obeidi is the brave Libyan law student who burst into a Tripoli hotel to tell Western journalists she’d been gang-raped by government goons; she was promptly dragged screaming out of the hotel by secret police. A government spokesman said she was a whore and would be charged with slander. Obeidi’s mother, interviewed by CNN in the eastern town of Tobruk, said of Moammar Gad-

hafi: “If I were to see his face before me, I’d strangle him. I’d like to drive to Tripoli and cut his head off.” Unfortunately, no one else involved in the current Libyan conflict has been that direct. Enough hot air has been flowing over the airwaves about Libya to make a substantial contribution to global warming. Yet, Americans are rightly confused about the Libya story. Are we involved in another war, or a brief humanitarian intervention? Should we have gone in sooner, alone, with our allies, or not at all? Does the Libya move herald a new Obama military doctrine, or prove he can’t exercise power? Do we or don’t we want to get rid of Gadhafi? If so, how? President Obama’s Libya speech Monday night didn’t clear up the confusion. Republican presidential hopefuls were even more befuddled in their critiques. So let me take a shot at providing a reality check.

The Libyan intervention (as Obama did clarify) was an exceptional act — a response to a unique humanitarian crisis. It does not mean we will intervene every time foreign civilians are at great risk. Obama tried to avoid getting sucked into the Libyan conflict, which is far less crucial to U.S. concerns than rebellions in Yemen, Bahrain, and Syria, and political developments in Egypt. But, unlike in those countries, a huge international news corps was present in Libya; it would have documented Gadhafi’s massacre of civilians in Benghazi as U.S. ships stood by. Obama was cornered into a move he knew would be bad policy. Had he waited for congressional authorization, Benghazi might have fallen. Some Republicans, like Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney, insist Obama should have gone in sooner, and solo. “We look to America to be the leader of the world,” says Romney. And Sarah Palin says our military should “strike hard, hit hard, not allow Gadhafi to be left standing, and then get out.” Hmm. That’s just the way the Bush administration imagined its invasion of Iraq. Unilateral U.S. intervention in Libya would have been a disaster, placing the onus for the outcome on America’s shoulders. It would

have revived the Arab narrative of U.S. colonial intervention. Those who tout it fail to realize how America’s status in the Mideast has plummeted over the last decade. The postwar chaos in Iraq under George W. Bush and the failure to godfather an IsraeliPalestinian peace after both Bush and Obama pledged to do so have left U.S. credibility in tatters. The Bush doctrine of top-down democracy promotion was discredited by its violent results in Iraq, and by the fact that Bush dropped it when the going got messy. After democratic elections led to a Hamas takeover of Gaza, the Bush team dropped its support for democracy activists in Egypt. Moreover, American interests in Saudi oil, fighting terrorists, and curbing Iran will make it impossible to follow identical policies throughout the region. The administration is pushing for peaceful, democratic transitions in Bahrain, Yemen and Syria, but if rulers fail to listen, we can’t go in with guns. But back to Libya. Clarity is most lacking over what to do in the future. Obama was correct to turn over the lead to a NATOArab coalition and to rule out use of American ground troops. But can he align this limited military investment with his stated political aim of getting rid of Gadhafi?

Sixties still divides Americans “That Championship Season,” which opened on Broadway in 1972, was a spectacular success, running for 944 performances and winning the Pulitzer Prize. The play is currently being revived and has been the subject of cultural commentaries along with the usual hyper-ventilating reviews. The play presents a reunion of four members of a state championship high school basketball team at the home of their coach. It’s a bittersweet occasion that mingles memories of glory with the inevitable disappointments of the aftermath years. Beneath the surface of camaraderie boils a malevolent brew. Phil, an unprincipled businessman, has had an affair with the wife of George, the corrupt city mayor. Phil plans to support George’s rival in the next election. James spills the beans on Phil, and the fireworks begin. Tom, an alcoholic, casts bitter insults at his friends, while the coach spouts racist, right wing cliches: “Communists are at work today … Students burning down colleges … Government gone bad. And there’s no McCarthy to protect us.” When the play first opened, it was received as a revelation of America’s failures and sins. Most reviews of the revival have been less than enthusiastic. But the interesting thing is the way various critics have used the play as a spring board for venting their own ideologies. Writing for the conservative Wall Street Journal, Terry Teachout calls it a “moldy theatrical corpse,” a “quasipolitical cartoon whose smugness stinks like dimestore perfume.” He sees it as an expression of the liberal mindset that blossomed in the ’60s — the disillusionment with middle class American ideals brought about by the Vietnam War, the antipathy to the bigotry and hypocrisy

George Gurley of the Eisenhower years. “I doubt that any other play … has more to tell us about the selfsatisfied attitudes of the generation that made it,” writes Teachout While admitting that the play is a bit corny and melodramatic, John Lahr — writing for the liberal New Yorker — finds it not dated at all, but highly relevant to our times. “Beneath the constant pep talks about winning is a rueful sense of moral exhaustion, which plays as powerfully today as it did in 1972,” Lahr writes. He seizes on the coach’s crude pearls of wisdom — “You have to hate to win,” “Exploiting a man’s weakness is the name of the game” — as expressions of the cruel ethos of competition, capitalism and individualism. And to drive his point home, he makes a gratuitous association to current events: “The coach’s words, which sound eerily like those of some of today’s Tea Party pols, hang in the air.” The two reactions nicely represent our ideological divide. For conservatives, the ’60s were when America lost its soul. For liberals, the same period marked the birth of a redemptive American reformation. There seems to be no escape from these polarized mindsets that dominate our national conversation. And it’s endlessly fascinating how intelligent people who seem to have so much in common can consider the same phe-

nomenon and come up with diametrically opposing views. Paul Johnson — a conservative historian but by no means a mindless rube — actually likes Sarah Palin. Her scorn of “this awful political correctness business” is in “the good tradition of America,” he writes. “Plus: She’s got courage.” Johnson is also a fan of the tea party: “It’s brought a lot of very clever and quite young women into mainstream politics and got them elected. A very good little movement, that.” How can you square Johnson’s views with the many thoughtful people who foam at the mouth at the mere mention of Sarah Palin and the tea party? Are we members of the same species? Would we be better off if either side won? Questions about winning and losing bring another matter to mind which also relates to basketball, but not a championship season — alas. Once again, our team lost. Not just lost, but suffered an inexplicable, catastrophic collapse. Why? What happened? There are no answers to these questions except that life isn’t fair and that no one has a birthright to victory. What have we learned? That it’s better not to strut and swagger and beat your chest. Better to retain your dignity, your perspective, your class. Then if you do lose, you’ll have those priceless treasures intact. And you won’t look like a fool. T.S. Eliot was wrong when he pegged April as “the cruelest month.” That designation belongs to March. March is the month of disillusionment, selfdoubt and defeat, when hopes are dashed and fans are exiled to the wilderness while they wait for another season, another chance. — George Gurley, a resident of rural Baldwin City, writes a regular column for the Journal-World.

If the dictator stays, the NATO no-fly zone will have to continue indefinitely. Such a stalemate cannot be sustained. The administration hopes for an internal coup in Tripoli, provoked by sanctions, bomb strikes, and pressure on Gadhafi to accept exile. It might work; the Libyan foreign minister just defected to Britain. But if the dictator holds on, more will be needed. Will airstrikes slack off now that NATO is taking over military command, enabling Gadhafi to defeat the rebels? Obama has authorized the CIA to aid the rebels (agents are already in the country), but he has made no decision on sending arms. Will the Brits, French, or Egyptians provide the heavy weapons and training the rebels desperately need, no matter how uncertain we are of the rebels’ makeup? Will we recognize a rebel government? These questions must be answered soon. A long-running stalemate in Libya is not an option — and not just because Eman al-Obeidi and other Libyans deserve justice. Obama needs to return his attention to managing fallout from other, far more crucial, rebellions in the Middle East. — Trudy Rubin is a columnist and editorial board member for The Philadelphia Inquirer.

PUBLIC FORUM

Dedicated docs To the editor: On behalf of our patients, the low-income uninsured of Douglas County, we extend a heartfelt thank you on this 2011 Doctor’s Day to the physicians of our community who generously give of their time and talent to assist in our mission to provide them medical care. Without the 100-plus physicians and their staff (listed on www.healthcareaccess.org), the Health Care Access Clinic would not be able to give as many of our 14,000 uninsured friends and neighbors of all ages a chance to have a healthy productive life. Your partnership in seeing patients at the clinic and from your private practices, has saved lives and provided hope for a better future. Many former patients of ours are now in your practices as paying patients after moving out of their temporary hardships. Twenty-three years ago our founders saw a need for this safety net in our local health care system, and we continue to serve as that gap-filler in an imperfect system. May your altruism and service inspire the next generation of medical professionals in our collective effort to have healthy communities. And on Friday, April 8, come celebrate our teamwork and our new expanded access at our open house/wellness fair and barbecue from noon to 5 p.m.! Nikki White King, director, Health Care Access, 330 Maine

3 teens to stand trial in Salina man’s death SALINA — Three 19-year-old Salina men have been ordered to stand trial in the death of a 48-year-old man, while charges have been dropped against a fourth man. Robert Unselt had been involved in a fight with several young people outside a Salina home on Jan. 9. He died that night. A preliminary autopsy showed Unselt died of repeated blows that caused massive head trauma. Unselt’s wife said she saw three people beating her husband and running away after he collapsed. The Salina Journal reported that the three men who were ordered Friday to stand trial are Tyeler D. Cookson, Xavier E. Lewis and Justin R. Taddiken. They are scheduled to enter pleas May 2. Charges were dropped Thursday afternoon against Michael B. Bulman, also 19.

Bases-loaded walk lifts KU baseball past BU By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

From excitement to disappointment and back to elation again. That was the path the Kansas University baseball team took to a 4-3 victory over Baylor Saturday at Hoglund Ballpark. And that was just in the final two innings. Tied at 3 in the bottom of the eighth inning, with runners on first and second, KU junior Chris Manship ripped a pitch to shortstop for an apparent go-ahead hit.

One problem: Baylor’s Landis Ware made a leaping stab and doubled off the KU runner at second to get the Bears out of the inning. After Baylor was retired with ease by relievers Scott Heitshushen and Wally Marciel in the ninth, Brandon Macias drew a bases-loaded walk in the ninth to secure the KU triumph. “I think they’re growing up,” KU coach Ritch Price said of his team. “We’ve been talking all week about being mature and being more competitive.” It showed in the ninth. Freshman Ka’iana Eldredge

LISLE , I LL . — Ben McLemore, who had just swished five threepointers and ripped home a slam dunk in a spirited NeXt AllAmerica Classic basketball scrimmage Saturday in suburban Chicago, met with a handful of reporters after the two-hour workout. The topic of discussion was not so much the smooth 6-foot-5 St. Louis native’s 21-point effort, but today’s halftime announcement, in which Rivals.com’s No. 17-rated player will make his college choice known. “I’m ready to get this over with. There’s been pressure back and forth with me down to KU and Missouri,” said McLemore, who said he’d select either Kansas University or Mizzou at half of McLemore the inaugural all-star game, which starts at 2 p.m. at Sears Centre in Hoffman Estates. It’s slated to be televised on CBS College Sports Network (cable channels 143, 243). “My whole family is waiting on me. They don’t know where I’m going yet. I’ll probably just pull a rabbit out of my hat and surprise ’em,” he added with a grin. No surprises are expected today. Most everybody believes the Jayhawks have won out over Missouri, a school without a head coach. ESPN.com published a report early Saturday that McLemore had chosen KU over MU. However, shortly after, ESPN rescinded the short video item. McLemore insisted he’d speak with his mom Saturday night at the team hotel before finalizing his college choice. “I’ll discuss it with her and like I told everybody at halftime make an announcement,” McLemore said. Of his finalists, he said: “Missouri was good (under Mike Anderson), explosive. It’s how I play — up and down,” said McLemore, who first attended high school in St. Louis, then moved on to Oak Hill Academy in Mouth of Wilson, Va., for his senior season before being dismissed from the team for violating team rules. He’s since surfaced at Houston’s Christian Life Center, where he averaged 16 points and seven rebounds in six games. “Kansas ... I got goosebumps when I went to Late Night,” he added with a big smile. McLemore said he’s ready for what’s ahead in college. “I’ve been working on my shot,” he said. “A lot of people think I can just dunk. I can shoot the ball, mid-range, step out and shoot the three. I hit five threes today. I feel pretty confident about my shot against good competition. Creating my own shot is one thing I can do, could always do.”

(0-for-3, run scored) led off the inning by being hit by a pitch. Leadoff hitter Jason Brunansky (1-for-4) followed with a sacrifice bunt, on a 3-2 pitch, to move Eldredge up to second. From there, the Bears put right fielder Casey Lytle (3-for-4) on first with an intentional walk and loaded the bases by issuing an intentional pass to Jimmy Waters (1-for-4) after a wild pitch moved Eldredge and Brunansky into John Young/Journal-World Photo scoring position.

ROYALS 5, ANGELS 4

Kansas City rallies, exposes L.A.’s bullpen By Doug Tucker Associated Press Sports Writer

Orlin Wagner/AP Photo

KANSAS CITY CLOSER JOAKIM SORIA (48) IS CONGRATULATED by manager Ned Yost following a victory over Los Angeles. The Royals edged the Angels, 5-4, on Saturday in Kansas City, Mo.

KANSAS CITY, MO. — Three hits and two RBIs were not all Chris Getz delivered in Kansas City’s 54 victory over the Los Angeles on Saturday afternoon. The second baseman also saved a run in the eighth with a great relay throw to the plate that cut down Alberto Callaspo, who was trying to score from second on a double by Erick Aybar that looked as if it might be caught. Getz’s play doesn’t show up in

the box score, but little things like that often spell the difference in a tight game. “By the time I ROYALS got the ball, I VS. ANGELS saw he was just rounding third When: 1:10 p.m. base. I threw it,” today Getz said. “It Where: Kansas was a decent City, Mo. throw, but TV: FSKC (36, 236) (catcher Matt) Treanor stayed in there and made a good play.” Getz drove in the go-ahead run in the bottom of the eighth off

Kevin Jepsen (0-1) as the Royals rallied. Rookie Aaron Crow (1-0) pitched 12⁄3 innings for the victory, his first as a major-leaguer. It was the third straight day the Angels bullpen had faltered. Crow, from around Topeka and a former Big 12 star at Missouri, has thrown three innings in this series and not allowed a run while striking out five. “I’ve felt comfortable out there,” Crow said. “I had a couple of balls hit hard, but I was fortunate they made a great play at the

plate. I got pretty lucky out there. We played great defense today.” The Angels loaded the bases with one out in the seventh, but Crow came out of the bullpen and struck out Hunter on a 96 mph fastball and got Wells to ground into a forceout. “It was awesome,” he said. “It may not have looked like it, but I was nervous out there.” The Angels bullpen has not looked steady in any of the three games against the Royals. ● Box score on page 4B

Rutgers coach C. Vivian Stringer has coached against all four teams this season. Stringer is the first coach — male or female — to lead three different schools to the Final Four; Cheyney (1982), Iowa (1993) and Rutgers (2000, 2007). By C. Vivian Stringer For The Associated Press

Rutgers coach C. Vivian Stringer takes a look at the games in the women’s Final Four. She is in the unique position of having coached against all four teams this season: Connecticut-Notre Dame This is an exciting game for me with two of my fellow Big East teams going head-to-head. Notre Dame needs another strong performance from its guards, especially Skylar Diggins who has been playing extremely well throughout the tournament. Natalie Novosel has also been showing up in a big time way. The play in the paint is going to be important as well, so Devereaux Peters has to try to stay out of foul trouble and continue to attack inside. Becca Bruszewski has to also play physical and give the Irish a 1-2 punch in the post. The key for Notre Dame is to not be intimidated by playing UConn, because the psychological edge could honestly be the biggest factor in the Huskies’ favor. They’ve been there before, having advanced to four straight Final Fours. The Irish have to play free with a different mindset and not worry about who they’re playing, like they were able to do against Tennessee (0-20 all-time vs. the Lady Vols prior to the Elite Eight matchup). On the other hand is Maya Moore, who in my opinion is the most focused, determined player I have ever seen. She is completely tuned in for the entire 40 minutes every time she plays. It seems like the greater the stage, the more she shows up. She can will her team to win, but you don’t have to do much to push that Connecticut team because they’re focused. Stefanie Dolson has also been playing with much more confidence. She’s moving well, making good passes, rebounding and wreaking all kinds of havoc in the paint. Another advantage for UConn is its sevenplayer rotation, which is what most coaches will play when it gets to crunch time. They have their rotation set and everyone knows their role. At the end, it’s going to come down to who is going to outrebound and have more opportunities on the offensive side. Stanford-Texas A&M This is an interesting matchup because Stanford’s triangle offense is conducive to backdoor cuts which is one way to attack Texas A&M’s defense. The Aggies play one of the toughest styles of defense in the country, but if you have an offense that keeps it moving and understands timing, you can find success. I’m interested to see the types of tweaks within their offense Stanford makes to combat that pressure. The Ogwumike sisters will be a big factor for Stanford. I’m sure Texas A&M will focus on both but the freshman Chiney is the key. She’s hard on the boards and a quick leaper who is so instinctive. It’s impressive the way she’s been playing. Stanford is going to have all it can handle with Danielle Adams. She’s bound to play well because she didn’t do so offensively against Baylor and a player of her caliber doesn’t have very many bad games in a row. Texas A&M has a lot of weapons with Sydney Colson, Sydney Carter and Tyra White, but so does Stanford with Kayla Pedersen and Jeanette Pohlen. The difference is Stanford’s shooting will rely on passing execution and there needs to be rhythm to that. Rhythm can be broken up when you get high and play hard in the lane like Texas A&M does, so it can be disruptive. The Aggies don’t necessarily need the precision of the pass. Someone like Colson can make an in-and-out move, step back and break you down herself. Texas A&M has a number of players that can take you off the bounce. I see them driving more to create situations where players are going to have to move laterally. In the end, I still think Stanford can handle it because they’re overall taller and longer. It’s going to be a close game.

Mickelson surges into tie for Houston lead HUMBLE, TEXAS — Phil Mickelson is tied for the lead in the Houston Open as he prepares for next week’s Masters. He doesn’t see why he can’t win ’em both. Mickelson shot his lowest round in two years Saturday, tying the course record with a 9-under 63 to join Scott Verplank atop the leaderboard through three rounds on the Tournament Course at Redstone. Verplank, coping with soreness in his left wrist, shot his second straight 65 to catch Mickelson at 13-under par. Aaron Baddeley (66) and second-round leader Chris Kirk (69) were one stroke back, and defending champion Anthony Kim and David Hearn (66) were two behind. Mickelson, the defending Masters champion, has won the last four events during which he had a round of 64 or better, dating to the 2006 BellSouth Classic. That year, he earned his second green jacket the following week and is the last player to win the event before Augusta and the Masters in the same year. The Houston Open became the run-up tournament to the first major in 2007, and Mickelson is here for the fourth straight year. He said winning the week before the ’06 Masters gave him a valuable boost, and he sees no disadvantage in trying to duplicate that feat. “People have talked about winning the week before a major as not necessarily the greatest thing, because it takes away energy, or what have you,” Mickelson said. “I felt like in ’06, it was really a benefit to gain the momentum and confidence of winning a golf tournament right before, especially the Masters.” Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland shot a 69 Saturday and was at 210, seven strokes back.

GOLF Lehman shoots course-record 64 SAUCIER, MISS. — When Tom Lehman’s destruction of the back nine at Fallen Oak was complete, all Jeff Sluman could do was grin and give a humorous bow to Lehman as he walked by. “He definitely had the mojo,” Sluman said. Lehman broke the course record by shooting an 8-under 64 on Saturday, taking a one stroke lead over Sluman into the final round of the Mississippi Gulf Resort Classic, a secondyear Champions Tour event.

Tseng leads Kraft Nabisco RANCHO MIRAGE, CALIF. — Defending champion Yani Tseng roared into the lead at the Kraft Nabisco Championship with a thirdround 66 Saturday, moving two shots ahead of Stacy Lewis in the LPGA Tour’s first major of the year. The top-ranked Tseng showed a champion’s confidence with her aggressive, powerful play at Mission Hills, shooting the round’s low score to move to 12-under 204. She erased playing partner Lewis’ three-shot lead in the first seven holes before going ahead on the 11th.

WOMEN’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL Moore named player of year INDIANAPOLIS — Maya Moore is in a class by herself. Her coach will have to share his award. Moore is the Associated Press player of the year once again, becoming the third twotime winner when she was honored on Saturday. “She’s a once-in-a-lifetime player,” UConn coach Geno Auriemma said. “We’re fortunate to have had her.” Auriemma shared coach of the year honors with Stanford’s Tara VanDerveer and Miami’s Katie Meier, marking the first time ever that an AP college award has had a tie. Moore, who joined Seimone Augustus of LSU and Chamique Holdsclaw of Tennessee as the only two-time winners, also received the award as a sophomore. She finished second in the voting her freshman and junior years.

FSHS softball sweeps LINESCORE

By Ben Ward Journal-World Sports Writer

Sometimes, all it takes is the right attitude at the plate. Such was the case Saturday afternoon, when Free State High’s softball team opened its season by sweeping Shawnee Mission South in a doubleheader at FSHS. After struggling to drive in a few runners from third in a 4-2 win in Game One, the Firebird offense exploded in the second game, a resounding 122 victory in five innings. “I just said, ‘Swing, don’t think about it,’” coach Lee Ice said. “It’s like batting practice. Just swing, don’t think.” When the Firebirds (2-0) were able to square up the ball, they made it look fairly routine. After FSHS capitalized on a few Raider miscues to get out in front, 3-0 in the second inning of Game Two, Alex Hill pounded a double to bring home Elizabeth Hazlett to make it 4-0. “(The early lead) helped everyone relax,” said Hill, who was 5-for-5 on the day with a walk and five runs scored. “So people were just getting up there and teeing off. It was fun.” Samantha O’Brien — who tallied four hits, three RBIs and three runs scored — followed Hill’s double by crushing an opposite-field home run to put FSHS on top, 6-0. In the fifth, the Firebirds batted around — at one point

After all, she had just pitched 12 shutout innings after pitching 14 innings on Thursday. The Lions won the first game Saturday against Shawnee Mission Northwest, 2-0, but saw their two-run lead in the second game evaporate. LHS rallied to tie the game in the bottom of the seventh, but the Cougars scored two in the top of ninth to take a 5-3 victory. LHS coach Reenie Stogsdill said she was happy with her players’ performance, but disappointed they couldn’t pull off the sweep. In no way was she disappointed with Massey’s performance. “She’s not used to pitching this much this early,” Stogsdill said. “So I thought she battled pretty good out there.” The Cougars spread seven hits against Massey in the first game.

In the second game, the Cougars scored twice in the top of the sixth, once in the top of the seventh and twice in the top of the ninth. Stogsdill, sensing Massey’s fatigue with two outs in the ninth inning, sent freshman Amanda Montgomery to the mound for the first time this season.

The coaching staff wants to give Montgomery innings so she can help Massey stay fresh. “That’s a slow process, but we got her a little bit of the taste today,” Stogsdill said. Senior catcher Kristen Bell thought Massey pitched well, despite the late runs. In Bell’s eyes, Massey’s consistency is her greatest asset. “If I call low and outside, she puts it there,” Bell said. “It’s nice for me, but it’s nice for her too.” Massey will likely be on the mound again when the Lions (2-2) play Olathe North at LHS on Tuesday.

Bucks 93, 76ers 87, OT MILWAUKEE — Brandon Jennings scored nine of his 13 points in overtime, and Milwaukee rallied to beat Philadelphia. Jennings redeemed himself after missing a three-pointer at the regulation buzzer that would’ve won it, helping keep the Bucks’ very faint playoff hopes alive and snapping Philadelphia’s three-game winning streak. 1 Milwaukee is 3 ⁄ 2 games behind Indiana for eighth place in the Eastern Conference with six games left.

y-L.A. Lakers Phoenix Bulls 113, Raptors 106 C H I C A G O — Derrick Rose Golden State had 36 points and 10 assists, L.A. Clippers and Chicago took another Sacramento

step toward the top seed in the Eastern Conference with its 15th win in 17 games, hanging on to beat the short-handed Raptors. The Bulls lead Miami by three games and Boston by 1 3 ⁄2. They also are within one of San Antonio for the NBA’s best record after squeezing by one of the league’s weakest teams. Rose came up big after scoring 27 points the previous night in a win at Detroit, and Tom Thibodeau broke Phil Jackson’s club record for wins by a first-year coach as the Bulls improved to 56-20. Carlos Boozer added 18 points and 10 rebounds despite early foul trouble. Luol Deng scored 17 points, Taj Gibson had 15 points and nine rebounds, and Kyle Korver came up big down the stretch to f inish with 10 points. The Bulls held Joakim Noah out for the third straight game because of a sprained right ankle, and the Raptors were no picture of health, either.

Clippers 98, Thunder 92 LOS ANGELES — Blake Griffin had 26 points and 16 rebounds, Eric Gordon capped an 18-point effort with a go-ahead three-pointer with 43.2 seconds left, and Los Angeles beat Oklahoma City. Kevin Durant scored 23 points for the Thunder, shooting 10-for-24 overall and 0for-4 from three-point range. The last time the Clippers hosted the Thunder, they beat them, 107-92, on Nov. 3 for the only victory in their 1-13 start. Durant was 0-for-10 from behind the arc that night and 6 for 24 overall with a seasonlow 16 points. The Clippers handed the Thunder their second straight loss after five consecutive victories. The lead changed hands 10 times in the fourth quarter before Gordon drained his clutch 27-footer over Thabo Sefolosha from an angle to the left of the basket following a timeout. Randy Foye helped secure the Clippers’ 30th win of the season with a steal against Russell Westbrook, which Foye turned into a pair of free throws after getting fouled on the ensuing fast break. Westbrook, who played at UCLA, had nine points and eight assists before fouling out.

Warriors 99, Mavericks 92 O A K L A N D , C A L I F . — Monta Ellis had 32 points, David Lee added 16, and Golden State beat Dallas to deliver a big blow to the Mavericks’ chances of moving up to second in the Western Conference. Ellis shook off the pain in his strained right ankle to score 18 points in a dominant third quarter that helped the Warriors pull away. Golden State avoided a four-game sweep against Dallas this season. Shawn Marion had 21 points, and Jason Terry added 17 in Dallas’ second straight loss. Two nights after a crushing 28-point loss to the Lakers, the Mavericks’ hopes of improving their playoff seeding took an even bigger hit. They trail the Lak1 ers by 2 ⁄2 games for second place in the West with only six games left. Things have quickly gone sour for the Mavericks.

god of the underworld

Delaying a divorce just results in misery Dear Annie: My husband and I own a business together that would collapse if we divorced. The business is starting to prosper after several years of debt and difficulties. At this point, we cannot afford to rock the boat, as we surely would not survive financially. We also have two teenagers at home, and the eldest has proved to be challenging. Six years ago, I made plans to leave my husband, but financial catastrophe hit. I decided then to postpone the divorce and made up my mind to wait until our kids are out of the house. But it isn’t working. I pretend everything is OK and hope that if I act the part, the rest will follow suit, but the emptiness is always there. I am constantly daydreaming, living in my head and waiting for the day I get out. It is another three years until the youngest goes to college. It seems like a life sentence. What should I do? — Trapped Dear Trapped: Have you attempted counseling? If not, please try it before spending three years being miserable. When kids believe they live in a stable, loving home, it is usually better for them, so we understand and admire your decision to stay. But it is not

3 new dramas enliven Sundays AMC has another winner on its hands with “The Killing” (8 p.m., AMC). Shot in Vancouver, “Killing” makes the most of the region’s gloomy weather. But don’t go looking for “X-Files” or “Twin Peaks,” this murder mystery is thoroughly rooted in grim reality, following three overlapping threads linked to a teenager’s brutal murder. Mireille Enos (“Big Love”) is compelling as Sarah Linden, the lead homicide investigator who was scheduled to leave for a sunnier life in California the day the case broke open. Her serious mien and decidedly unglamorous looks gives “Killing” a distinctly British or European feel. It’s refreshing to watch a series where a cop doesn’t have to look like a movie star. Billy Campbell, who does look like a movie star, appears as Darren Richmond, a seemingly idealistic candidate for mayor who is drawn into the case in unexpected ways. Michelle Forbes (“Battlestar Galactica”) and Brent Sexton round out the cast as the victim’s grieving bluecollar parents. Don’t watch “The Killing” if you don’t want to get hooked. ● Gorgeous, lavish, well acted and a tad slow, “The Borgias” (8 p.m., Showtime) offers an artful and art-filled history of bloody church intrigue and dynastic dysfunction. Jeremy Irons as the infamous Rodrigo Borgia who becomes crowned Pope Alexander VI soon into episode one. Colm Feore stars as a rival cardinal, and Lotte Verbeek portrays the pope’s mistress, Giulia Farnese, a woman he seduces during the rite of confession! “The Borgias” is lovely to look at, but the miniseries offers viewers little explanation as to the family’s origins or the reasons for their power. ● Speaking of decadent Catholic dynasties, “The Kennedys” (7 p.m., Reelz) will air over eight episodes. Strangely, while “The Borgias” neglects to offer explanation and context, “The Kennedys” offers too much, rehashing a tale of a thousand-day presidency told at least a thousand times. A handsome and well-produced effort that only occasionally slides into waxworks, the pilot is dominated by Tom Wilkinson as family patriarch Joseph P. Kennedy. Greg Kinnear does a remarkable job joining the ranks of pop history’s JFK imitators but like Katie Holmes as Jackie, he seems to spend the first hour just getting used to his hairdo. There have been better and far worse portraits of the famous family. “The Kennedys” is rather famous and controversial for having been produced and abandoned by the History Channel for reasons still unclear. In an article in the New York Times, a History Channel executive said the film’s dramatic approach was “not a fit for the History brand.” The fact that this miniseries was ditched at the same time the channel is in cahoots with Larry the Cable Guy tells you all you need to know about the state of the “History brand.”

Tonight’s other highlights ● Scheduled on “60 Minutes” (6 p.m., CBS): mortgage foreclosures, gospel music. ● To commemorate the 150th anniversary of the War Between the States, PBS will re-air Ken Burns’ landmark 1990 series “The Civil War” (7 p.m., PBS, check local listings), tonight through Thursday. ● Reba McEntire and Blake Shelton host the Academy of Country Music Awards (7 p.m., CBS).

’m sitting in a tony Leawood bistro with a gaggle of four giggling gals. It’s a special girls night out — a bachelorette party with all the trimmings. The honored guest wears a veil with plastic bejeweled tiara on her head and a silver “Bride to Be” button, five inches in diameter. The ensemble screams, “Look at me! I’m getting married!” It couldn’t be any tackier, or more perfect. Our doting waitress delivers a round of champagne to our table, on the house. We coo our appreciation and raise a flute to the happy couple. As we clink our glasses together, I can’t help but smile. This is a priceless, once-in-alifetime occasion.

her life. It is a joyful turn of events, the happiest of occasions. Mom, my three younger sisters and I (all wearing hot pink “Bridesmaid” buttons) are a curiosity to other restaurant patrons. (Let’s be honest, we’re a freaking spectacle!) Nobody cares, especially the bride. She relishes the attention and having her four girls all to herself for

one precious night. After dinner, the plan is to sweep her off to the “cougar bar” — a place where the newly divorced and other singles in Johnson County get their martinis on. (It’s not exactly a Chippendale’s show but, hey, it’s as wild as we’re gonna get in Leawood.) “Let the hilarity ensue!” I say to myself. “This story will write itself!” To ensure the party provides enough material, I’ve stashed some naughty party favors in my purse. My insurance policy, if you will, for column fodder. I’ll spare you a detailed description of the items — it was traumatic enough just walking into the naughty party favor store — but I’m convinced the, er, novelty sipping straws will elicit several quotable one-liners.

BEHIND THE LENS

Sports photographer discusses peculiar occupational hazard By Nick Krug nkrug@ljworld.com

Recently a KUsports. com reader asked what it’s like when a photographer is run over by a player diving out of bounds. I think getting smashed by anything is usually a bummer, but in this case, the only answers I can give are that sometimes it hurts. It’s usually expensive and it’s often a little awkward with all that sweat involved. Pictured in the accompanying photo, which came from the first half of the Big 12 tournament championship game, is Texas forward Gary Johnson, out of control and barreling out of bounds. Sitting at left is Jeff Jacobsen, the Kansas Athletics photographer, who if I had to describe his expression, I would say appears both vigilant and at the same time a bit skeptical of the situation. As for me, the one with his hand up and tongue sticking out, I don’t know what I had hoped to achieve, but I will say that neither did any good to stop Johnson’s momentum. On the UT Athletics website, Johnson is listed at 6-6 and 238 pounds. KUSports.com has me in at 5-7 and 160 pounds. Jeff, who has been shooting sports for more than 40 years, had the veteran’s presence of mind to grab his gear and move with the hit while absorbing it. I, on the other hand, barely lifted a finger other than the “halt” motion and ended up on my back. I guess I should be thankful I was sent to the floor by hands and arms rather than a shoulder.

in a previous production 20 years age, he has never watched the entire play as a spectator. “I played Atticus in that particular production,” says Knetsch, “but I’ve never seen a stage production. I can only speak to my approach.” There are two versions of the play, both written by Christopher Sergel. Knetch’s first experience of the play was with the original script. “The first script uses adult Jean Louise, or Scout, if you will, as the narrator. Later on, Sergel removed that narrator from the play. Whatever narration still exists is now done by Miss Maudie Atkinson, the neighbor.” The production at Theatre Lawrence is the second version of the script.

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -WORLD “In my own work and preparation for this play, I have really pored over the novel and found that the play is very true to the novel. Sergel did not write lines himself really, he used lines that were in the novel, so it really is very authentic,” says Knetsch. “We have a very strong

cast. All three of the kids have just done wonderful work and it’s outstanding for such young kids to take on really big roles. We have an extremely strong cast in general. Certainly Walt Boyd who’s playing Atticus is just wonderful. I think we have a production that merits seeing.”

Tales of trolls and vampires making Amanda Hocking, 26, a millionaire

Laughter is like a child who giggles all your burdens away. Faith is believing in another sunrise. — Tom Mach, Lawrence

By Kim Ode Star Tribune

M I N N E A P O L I S — Amanda Hocking, a 26-year-old Kim Funari, author in Austin, Minn., liquor store employee, who’s considered the biggest Olathe “’The Sky is Everywhere’ by e-book seller in the world, Jandy Nelson. It’s about a girl has signed with an ink-andtrying to get over the sudden paper publisher for a book contract reportedly worth death of her sister.” more than $2 million. The four-book deal was confirmed last week by Hector DeJean, a spokesman for St. Martin’s Press. “I always said if the deal was good I would take it, and if it isn’t, I don’t really lose anything,” Hocking said. That St. Martin’s payday will represent the second and third millions Hocking has earned from her books since last spring, when she bypassed traditional publishers and began uploading her Sam Spurlock, paranormal romances to digFrench and linguistics ital sites that support e-readmajor, ers such as Kindles and Lawrence Nooks. Her books began get“’Harry Potter and the ting noticed on blogs and Deathly Hallows’ by J.K. Rowling. It’s the last book in websites, and, primarily through word of mouth, sales the series. It’s the best.” began to climb. Her 99-cent price point didn’t hurt, either. Since last April, Hocking has sold more than 900,000 copies of her nine books about trolls, vampires and zombies — more than 400,000 in January alone. She found herself a reluctant folk hero among writers irked by what they saw as the elitism of traditional publishing. But Hocking says she has no quarrel with publishers. And while some will note the Doug Crawford-Parker, St. Martin’s deal as evidence English lecturer, that self-published authors, Lawrence however successful, will “’Essays of Montaigne’ by Michel de Montaigne. They’re always give in when the bigindividual essays on varying wigs come calling, Hocking says she just wants a break aspects of life.

BEST-SELLERS Here are the best-sellers for the week ending March 26, compiled from data from independent and chain bookstores, book wholesalers and independent distributors nationwide.

Fiction David Brewster/Minneapolis Star Tribune/MCT

AMANDA HOCKING works on her laptop March 9 at a coffee shop in Austin, Minn. Hocking, 26, is considered the biggest e-book seller in the world. that begins with “My Blood Approves.” As a teenager, she submitted her manuscripts to agents and publishers without getting a nibble. Then, as an avid user of iTunes, she saw the possibilities in making her books similarly available for downloading. She priced the first digital book in each series at 99 cents, and subsequent books at $2.99. Paperbacks, published as needed through CreateSpace, are $8.99. Amazon’s Kindle model lets her keep 70 percent of the price, while Barnes & Noble’s Nook plan offers 40 percent for 99cent books, and more as the price rises. She was on to something. While U.S. book sales faltered in 2009, e-book sales rose almost 180 percent to $313 million, according to the Association of American Publishers.

Writing from life Fans applaud her “against the odds” life story, but she also sounds a little like one of her heroines, with whom devotees of paranormal romances identify. Consider: ● Hocking isn’t especially imposing. With a wry look, she told about stopping recently at her old high school to deliver a check to support an arts organization there, and how none of the teachers remembered her. Chalk it up to never fitting in. ● Her parents divorced when she was 11, although she saw them both every day while growing up. Her mom is a medical transcriptionist and her father a truck driver. Her stepmother is an administrative assistant at Hormel, and her stepfather a computer technician for Mower

County. Chalk it up to working-class realities. ● She attended Riverland Community College in Austin — a couple of times, actually, but never finished. She’s worked as a dishwasher, at ShopKo, and most recently in group homes with people with disabilities. Chalk it up to doing whatever it takes. ● And then she made a million dollars and still takes time to blog and email and be nice and make wisecracks. Chalk it up to how we would act — no, really! — under the same circumstances. Hocking regularly contributes to blogs and discussion boards, touting favorite authors. She recently noted on her own blog how, given the recent wave of publicity, her distinctively embellished laptop has been in lots of photos and she thought that the company that makes such decals, Gelaskins.com, should get a shout-out. Fellow bloggers are key to her success. “I am fortunate enough to write in a genre where they work very hard for you if they like you,” she said. “Once they liked me, they really worked on talking about (her work) on their blogs, and having interviews and giveaways.”

Harder than it looks Among Amazon’s top 100 paid books for Kindle, seven are by Hocking. Hewing to genre, however, doesn’t mean that the books are easily written, an assumption that riles her. “I outline a lot,” she said. “It takes me three or four weeks to sit down and write.” She edits and rewrites books that run to about 300 pages. When she’s on a roll, she can write 10,000 words a day, maybe

more, depending on her Red Bull consumption. “I feel like I always have to be putting out more and doing more,” she said, sitting cross-legged on the couch of her turquoise-and-pink living room amid Muppet figures — huge Jim Henson fan — and Batman characters. “It scares me that if I stop doing this it will go away, especially now that I have some notoriety.” Hocking is an outlier in indie publishing, but not for long. Crime writer John Locke has sold more than 350,000 Kindle downloads of his latest book, “Saving Rachel,” for 99 cents — since January. Such numbers defy conventional wisdom, but Locke has said it all comes down to 99 cents being the magic number, especially if mainstream e-books are priced higher: “And so the buyer pauses, and it is in this pause — this golden, sweetscented pause — that we independent authors gain the advantage, because we offer incredible value.” When Hocking began writing, “I wanted to write something that was really profound, like ‘Slaughterhouse Five.’ Meaningful. I was forcing myself to be something I’m not.” Yet she fights the sense that she’s not a credible writer — a sense partly fueled by traditional media’s resistance to reviewing books that are genre-based or self-published. “If I was writing some big novel about racism or oppression, maybe I would feel more legitimate,” she said. The St. Martin’s Press deal is for a four-book series called “Watersong.” The first, “Wake,” is to be released in fall 2012.

REVIEW

Book is revealing portrait of Gandhi’s growth as social reformer By Christine Amario Associated Press Writer

Jack Hope, Web designer, Lawrence “’Green Mars’ by Kim Stanley Robinson. It’s a science fiction book and second in a series about the colonization of Mars.”

“Great Soul: Mahatma Gandhi and His Struggle With India” (Alfred A. Knopf), by Joseph Lelyveld: In this revealing, original portrait of the man known as the “Father of India,” Joseph Lelyveld charts the development of Gandhi’s social vision, tying his early experiences as a lawyer in South Africa to the movement he went on to lead at home. Taking up a story already portrayed in countless books and f ilms, Lelyveld constructs a fresh narrative, focusing on Gandhi’s maturation as a reformer and challenging many of the popular accounts around the Indian spiritual and intellectual leader’s growth. “The Gandhi I’ve pursued is the one who claimed once to ‘have been trying all my life to identify myself with the most illiterate and downtrodden,”’ Lelyveld writes. Lelyveld spent nearly four decades at The New York Times, serving as foreign correspondent in India and South Africa. He utilizes troves of articles, scholarly accounts and individual testimony to create a seamless, impartial account of Gandhi’s transformation.

The story begins with 23-year-old Gandhi’s arrival in South Africa, where he was to assist a Muslim merchant and his English attorney in a civil lawsuit. The brief sojourn turns into a 21-year expedition in which Gandhi’s beliefs on British colonial rule and India — in particular the discriminative caste system — are consistently tested. The often repeated tale of Gandhi’s social awakening is that of his ejection from a first-class compartment by a white passenger who refused to sit alongside a “coolie.” But Lelyveld highlights an equally jarring experience that had occurred two weeks before. Gandhi showed up to court in a black turban, and a magistrate insisted it be removed, saying it was a sign of disrespect. Gandhi walked out instead of complying with the request. Lelyveld also shores up evidence showing how Gandhi’s views on “untouchables,” low-caste Indians whose integration and acceptance into mainstream life and society

became one of his life’s principal causes, changed dramatically through his South Africa experience. He begins with mostly conformist views on “untouchables,” advocating for the “free Indians,” not indentured laborers, but further exposure to their plight, particularly through war, altered his viewpoints, with Gandhi eventually leading a massive strike that yielded modest results. By the time he left for India, Gandhi wrote, “I am, as ever the community’s indentured laborer.” Equally, or more daunting, challenges await Gandhi in India, where he is welcomed as an outsider. Early on, he concludes that in order for there to be progress, the poorest must be educated, as he claims to have done with the indentured in South Africa. “Already he’s on his way to turning his South African experience into a parable,” Lelyveld notes, “editing out unfortunate details such as the outbreaks of violence in the sugar country, or the ambiguity of the move-

ment’s results, especially the glaring shortfall in actual benefits for the indentured.” Time and again Gandhi is met with adversity in his quest to lift the “untouchables” and unite Hindus and Muslims, a social transformation he believed vital to achieving independence. Ultimately, this was a vision he was only, at best, momentarily able to realize. Despite the millions who marched alongside him and showed up to hear him speak, Gandhi was frequently disappointed by violence and intolerance that followed his steps toward advancement. Lelyveld, who won the Pulitzer Prize for his book “Move Your Shadow: South Africa, Black and White,” succeeds in painting Gandhi the spiritual leader as remarkably human — prone to episodes of doubt, and so forceful in his quest that he sometimes alienated allies. “There’s a tragic element in Gandhi’s life, not because he was assassinated, nor because his noblest qualities inflamed the hatred in his killer’s heart,” Lelyveld writes. “The tragic element is that he was ultimately forced, like Lear, to see the limits of his ambition to remake his world.”

UNIVERSITY THEATRE

With Brecht, play equals work ————

Actors rise to challenge of socio-political ‘comedy’ By Sean Rosner Special to the Journal-World

One of the 20th century’s most influential playwrights, German author Bertolt Brecht had a profound effect on theatrical production and on theater as a medium for addressing social issues. Yet it’s been more than two decades since Kansas University Theatre last tackled one of his plays. According to Mechele Leon, University Theatre artistic director, this could be because putting on a Brecht play is an exceptional undertaking. “Brecht is the ultimate challenge,” Leon says. “As a director, there’s nothing more challenging than Brecht.” But Leon is taking on the task this week, as director of the theater group’s rendition of Brecht’s 1926 play, Book Club in a Bag “Man Equals Man.” The play tells the story of a man who turns 1 year old loses his identity while Book Club in a Bag, the read- going off to fight a war and the complications that ership and discussion service created by the Lawrence Pub- ensue.

RYAN LUEDERS, RIGHT, and Charlie Stock rehearse a scene from the upcoming play “Man Equals Man.” Lueders plays Galy Gay, who goes off to a war he doesn’t understand and loses his identity in the process. “Man Equals Man” is the first Bertolt Brecht play that Kansas University Theatre has attempted in more than 20 years.

‘MAN EQUALS MAN’ Where: The William Inge Memorial Theatre, Murphy Hall, 1530 Naismith Drive. When: April 7-9 and April 13-16 at 7:30 p.m., April 10 at 2:30 p.m. Price: Ticket prices range from $10 for KU students and children to $15 for adults.

Enduring themes Though Brecht began work on “Man Equals Man” nearly a century ago, some of the major points of his works — war and economy — are relevant today. “The play is called ‘Man Equals Man,’ but the message we are trying to send is ‘war equals war,’” says Elahe Marjovi, costume designer for “Man Equals Man.” “It all has the same effects wherever it is.” “Man Equals Man” will show in the smaller of Murphy Hall’s two theaters, the William Inge Memorial Theatre, which seats about 100 people. Leon says the University Theatre tends to use the Inge for more experimental, avant-garde plays. In addition to the play’s performance, technical and visual elements of the production will also pay homage to the work’s creator. Though Brecht’s use of projectors was cutting-edge when the play debuted, they’ve since become commonplace in theater. Instead, Leon will use six monitors around the set to display images throughout the performance. Keeping in mind that the use of music was always an important aspect of a Brecht production, Leon enlisted University Theatre staff musician Ryan McCall to compose “throbbing rock music” for “Man Equals Man.” For the costumes, Marjovi incorporated scraps

Keep an open mind Leon began “Man Equals Man” rehearsals with crashcourse discussions on the aspects of Brechtian theater. Still, some cast members admit that adopting Brecht’s style has been difficult. Ryan Lueders, who plays lead character Galy Gay, says the unorthodox nature of “Man Equals Man” puts pressure on the performers to be at their best. “It has some very entertaining moments, but there can also be some confusing moments if we don’t do our jobs,” Lueders says.

SMALL IDEAS Smaller kitchens can capitalize on several clever ideas that both visually and functionally expand space. To make the kitchen seem larger, stagger cabinets to the ceiling in corners or sides with smaller cabinets beside them. That also increases depth in the taller ones to increase larger item storage. Limited space kitchens with open floor plans may also cap off runs of base cabinets with raised shelf units with open shelving. Perfect for storing recipe books, these units rise above the adjoining countertop to hide clutter from onlookers in the next room. It may also help to introduce cove ceiling with indirect lighting, which helps visually raise the ceiling. A small kitchen can be beautiful but it needs customized storage and clever design to make it feel cozy instead of cramped. Our professionals can work with any sized space— large or small— to design a beautiful kitchen that suits your needs perfectly. Come to Kitchen & Bath Designs today to see how!

ANDREA NORRIS TAKES A BITE FROM A JUST-PICKED APPLE at Beisecker Farms near Baldwin City. Apple farming can be tough in Kansas because of insects, disease and soil conditions. If you want to grow apples, prepare to pay for mounds of organic or conventional pesticides.

FRUIT FIT FOR KANSAS ————

Growing fruit poses special challenges in our region

hinking about planting fruit trees or plants this year? If visions of strawberries and juicy ripe peaches are dancing in your head, let me give you the lowdown on fruit that grows well in this area and how to successfully grow it. Although easy-care fruit is a debatable issue, the top of my list for low-maintenance fruits include raspberries, blackberries and gooseberries. Apples, pears and strawberries have mid-range care requirements. Peaches, nectarines, plums, cherries, grapes and blueberries need the most tender, loving care of fruits commonly grown in Kansas. Raspberries and blackberries are also known as brambles, and are more tolerant of different soil types than most other fruit. Brambles do need welldrained sites. Raspberries are available in red, black, purple, and yellow. Blackberries are classified as “trailing” or “erect” to describe their growth habit. Brambles need a little pruning and thinning each year but little care beyond that. Timing and methods depend on the bramble variety and its respective growth habit. Red raspberries especially have different pruning requirements.

Garden Calendar

Jennifer Smith smithjen@ksu.edu

Fertilize bramble plantings minimally each year and mulch lightly after plants are established. Few insects and diseases affect raspberries and blackberries. Plantings are typically productive for eight to 10 years. Gooseberries are lower on the popularity list but indisputably easy to grow. The small berries are quite tart when picked green. If allowed to ripen to pink, gooseberries sweeten and make fabulous dessert ingredients. Prune bushes each year in late winter or early spring to encourage new growth. Gooseberry plants respond well to compost or organic matter applications in the fall and just a touch of fertilizer in the spring. A gooseberry bush may produce fruit for 15 to 20 years. Apples and pears are a little

sensitive to soil conditions and are affected by several insects and diseases. Those pests are only consistently controlled through regular pesticide applications (organic or conventional pesticides could be used). Products and applications quickly add up in time and money. If you want to grow apple trees, I recommend selecting the most diseaseresistant varieties you can find. Keep trees healthy by watering and mulching as needed and fertilizing and pruning each year. Homegrown apples from Kansas rarely look like the blemish-free, waxed fruit we are used to seeing in the grocery store. However, many apple fruit spots are superficial or can be cut from the apple prior to consumption. Apple trees also prefer that you have two trees of different varieties because it allows the trees to cross-pollinate. Pear trees require two varieties to be present to produce fruit. Apple and pear trees are often productive for 25 to 30 years in home gardens. Strawberries are much pickier about what soil they grow in, preferring good drainage and high percentages of organic matter. Strawberries are classified as “June-bearing” (produce

in May to June) or “everbearing” (produce in May to June and again during late summer to fall). Fruit quality and plant productivity may be compromised with everbearing strawberry varieties. Care for strawberry plants depends on the type of plant and on the growing method. Generally, strawberry plants require irrigation, mulching, fertilization and some management for the runners produced by parent plants. Strawberry plantings are typically only fruitful for three to four years after planting. Insect and disease problems may be difficult to control. For those on the okay-toplant but not the easiest-togrow list, I recommend doing some research before investing in them. Peaches and nectarines are susceptible to pest problems that shorten the life of the trees and can destroy fruit. Plums are favored by an insect that bores into the fruit, making it undesirable for most people to consume. Cherries struggle with disease, weather, and consumption by birds who always seem to know when the cherries are ripe before humans find them. Grapes are sensitive to soil pH and are vulnerable to a

common fungal disease that damages fruit as well as vines. Finally, as much as I love blueberries, I have little desire to try to grow them. Blueberry plants are acid-loving and require a fair amount of soil preparation prior to planting. They will likely need regular applications of soil-acidifying fertilizer to stay healthy and produce fruit. All the fruit I mentioned require long-term maintenance, most are sensitive to soil conditions, and many have at least a few pest problems. Plan ahead — have your soil tested BEFORE planting and choose pest-resistant varieties if they are available. Douglas County residents can test up to 10 soil samples per year for free thanks to a grant from the Douglas County Conservation District. Bring samples (two cups of soil per sample) to the Douglas County Extension office at 2110 Harper St. Additional information about recommended fruit varieties and care of fruit plants is also available at the Extension office. — Jennifer Smith is the Horticulture Extension Agent for K-State Research and Extension in Douglas County.

Gnomes started invading gardens in the 18th century By Terry Kovel

Gnomes have gone from kitsch to fabulous since they became animated movie stars in “Gnomeo and Juliet.” But they have been used in gardens since the mid18th century. Ceramic garden gnomes known as “Gartenswerg” (garden dwarf) were first made in Thuringia, Germany. Local storytellers said that helpful gnomes would secretly visit yards at night to do some

garden digging and weeding. German stories and garden gnomes soon spread to many parts of Germany, France, England, the United States and anywhere gardening was important. Painted cast-iron gnomes were being made by the 1880s. The English word “gnome” instead of the German word was first used in the 1930s. A typical garden gnome has a beard and a pointy red hat and holds implements that show him fishing, gardening,

smoking or napping. During World War II, the production of gnomes in Germany suffered and today most are made of plastic, cement or resin in Poland or China. Today, with the help of the movie, the Travelocity Roaming Gnome and the popularity of joke “kidnappings” of garden gnomes, the small figures are seen in large and small home gardens. Collectors pay the most for old iron or terracotta gnomes. Prices range

from less than $50 for small new ones to hundreds of dollars for old examples. Repainting does not lower the value.

I was given an interesting extension table from my aunt's estate. The marks I found on it are “The Jefferson Wood Co., Louisville, Ky.” and “Extensole Corp., Sparta Mich.” Would it be worth my while to resell this table?

SPRING HAS SPRUNG! We’re all stocked up and ready for you!

New! Herbs, Glazed Pots, Blooming Azaleas, Magnolias, and Crabapples

Extensole Corp. started out as Fine Arts Studio in 1936 and changed its name to Extensole in about 1946. It was purchased by another Michigan company in 1978. The company was known for its console and drop-leaf extension tables. The Jefferson Wood Co. may have been the retailer that originally sold your table or it might have manufactured the table using an Extensole mechanism. Your table is

less than 70 years old, so it's not an antique. If it’s in good shape, try selling it by advertising in your area. It’s easier to sell furniture locally because of transportation costs. Tip: To hang an old CocaCola tray, use a wire plate holder. The bent parts of the holder that touch the tray should be covered with plastic tubing. Thin plastic tubing is sold for use in fish aquariums.
