Flipped sign fouls up runners at Half Marathon event along Perimeter Road, which circles around Haskell Indian Nations University for at least the first mile.

But the sign, which was supposed to be backwards so the runners couldn’t see it, directed 10K runners to turn right onto Shawnee Avenue at about the quartermile mark. The 5K runners were unsure where to go because it wasn’t indicated on the sign, so they followed the 10K runners.

Whoops!

A spectator mistakenly flipped around a sign before Sunday’s Kansas Half Marathon event.

The individual probably thought it was helpful; but instead, the gesture caused mass confusion and threw about 500 runners off course.

“Before I knew it, we had hundreds of

District getting rid of portable classrooms

By Mark Fagan mfagan@ljworld.com

The Lawrence school district is making plans to rid its elementary campuses of portables, but there’s no firm timeline when the last of the trailers will be eliminated.

Some of the district’s 14 portable classrooms — installed in past years to handle enrollment spikes — will be taken out of service next year as the district reconfigures its elementary schools to handle grades kindergarten through five, said Rick Doll, superintendent of the Lawrence school district.

The reconfiguration will be expected to open up 33 classrooms in the district’s 14 elementary schools for next year, providing room for some classes and programs to leave their trailers and come inside.

Other portable classrooms — such as those at Hillcrest School, home to English as a Second Language instruction and other programs — will remain in service next year and likely continDoll ue until other decisions are made, such as potential program reorganizations or projects for a future bond issue.

“We will get rid of some of our portables,” Doll said. “But I don’t have all the moving parts in place to know where that will be.”

At least two already are set to be auctioned in the next few weeks: one

Still in play Portables still in use at Lawrence school district sites: ● Deerfield, one. ● East Heights (a district building used by the Boys & Girls Club), two. ● Hillcrest, four. ● Lawrence High, one. ● New York, one, although it’s officially termed an “annex” because it rests on a foundation. ● Sunflower, one. ● Sunset Hill, two. ● Wakarusa Valley, one. ● Woodlawn, one.

Revised plans submitted for Mass. St. Dillons ————

‘It is an attempt to make all sides of the building more architecturally interesting’

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

A new Dillons store for south Massachusetts Street now has a date with City Hall.

Dillons leaders have submitted revised plans for a project to replace its existing store at 1740 Mass. with a larger, more modern version. Lawrence city commissioners will consider approving the plans at their Tuesday evening meeting.

The plans include new exterior renderings that attempt to break up the facades of the building with different brick patterns, colors, roof heights and other features.

“It is an attempt to make all sides of the building more architecturally interesting,” said Scott McCullough, the city’s director of planning.

City review City commissioners will consider the project at their 6:35 p.m. meeting on Tuesday at City Hall.

Whether it will make more neighbors happy remains to be seen.

Several neighbors on Wednesday said they hadn’t fully reviewed the plans, but expectations for the new project were mixed.

“We want them to rebuild and we want them to do well,” said Matt Easley, general manager of On the Rocks, a liquor store just south of the Dillons. “There have been some concerns about sight lines and what we’ll see as we look at the back of their building, but it

sounds like they are trying to be responsive.”

The idea of Dillons replacing its existing 1960s era store with a new store that will have a Starbucks, Chinese deli, organic foods section and other features has been nearly universally applauded. Concerns, however, have been raised over the details — especially from residents or businesses who are closest to the store.

“My feeling is that they are trying to put too much store onto the lot,” said Frederic McMillan, who lives almost directly behind the store. “They want a drive-through pharmacy, and the only way they can make that fit is to put more traffic onto New Hampshire Street.”

The new store is designed to face north instead of west as the cur-

Days after a tragic crossover crash on Kansas Highway 10 that killed two Eudora residents — including a 5-year-old boy — Eudora’s mayor asked Gov. Sam Brownback Wednesday to have the state place wire or cable barriers in the busy highway’s median.

“It’s just something that needs to be done. These people who make these decisions are sitting in Topeka,” Eudora Mayor Scott Hopson said Wednesday. “They don’t travel K-10. They don’t live next to K-10, and they just need to hear from all of us that this is a dangerous situation. Please fix it.”

Saturday afternoon, preschooler Cainan Shutt and 24year-old Ryan M. Pittman died in the crash when Pittman’s eastbound Toyota Camry crossed the grassy median near the Church Street interchange into the westbound lanes and struck a minivan driven by Cainan’s stepgrandfather, Danny Basel.

Cainan’s sister, 23-month-old Courtlyn Shutt, is recovering from a broken neck at Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo., and his grandmother, Ann Basel, is also recovering from broken bones and a head injury

rent store does. Its drivethrough pharmacy lane would be located on the east side of the building, facing the residents who live along New Hampshire Street.

None of that changes in the new plans, and McCullough said city planners would not push for the building to be reoriented.

“The justification that Dillons has offered to us is that they just can’t make a different orientation work for the type of store they need to build,” McCullough said.

But the new plans do include changes that are designed to address neighborhood concerns. They include: ● A fenced area on the south side — or backside — of the building to store pallets, breadracks and other Please see DILLONS, page 2A

Memorial fund A memorial fund has been set up in honor of a 5-yearold boy who died in a twovehicle accident Saturday on Kansas Highway 10.

Donations for the Cainan Shutt Memorial Cainan Shutt Fund can be sent to the Kaw Valley Bank, P.O. Box 702, Eudora, KS 66025. The bank cannot accept donations over the phone.

The Eudora Amateur Baseball and Softball Association is taking PayPal donations for the fund on their website. A representative from the Kaw Valley Bank said 100 percent of those donations will be transferred directly to the memorial fund. To access that site, go to http://ljw.bz/ cainanshuttfund.

K-10 CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

at Kansas University Hospital in Kansas City, Kan., family members have said.

Kansas Highway Patrol troopers said they are still investigating the cause of the crash, including the possibility that drugs contributed after a preliminary autopsy indicated marijuana, benzodiazepine and methadone were in Pittman’s system.

But the fallout from the crash has produced a groundswell of support from people asking the Kansas Department of Transportation to install cable barriers along K-10’s median as a way to impede or slow down traffic that might cross over into the wrong lane. More than 1,100 people as of 6 p.m.

Wednesday clicked “like” on a Facebook group started at 7 a.m. Tuesday by Eudora resident Jodi Jackson asking for the cable barriers.

Request Hopson in his letter mailed Wednesday asked Brownback to direct Kansas Department of Transportation Secretary Deb Miller to have her department begin work to install the barriers from Lawrence about 30 miles east to Interstate 435 in Johnson County.

Duplex fire displaces 2 families

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

Two Lawrence families were displaced early Wednesday morning after a fire damaged a duplex near West Second Terrace and Michigan Street in northern Lawrence, fire officials said.

Division Chief Eve Tolefree, a Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical spokeswoman, said the fire at 1402 W. Second Terrace started accidentally after someone improperly discarded smoking material.

Two occupants of the duplex were treated for minor injuries, but no one was taken to the hospital, Tolefree said. No firefighters were injured.

Firefighters were called at

KDOT officials said earlier this week that the section of K-10 did not qualify for the cable barriers in a 2008 study of the state’s four-lane highways but that K-10 would be considered again in a 2012 study.

The 2008 study was based on traffic and accident counts and the width of medians. For cable barrier installations, KDOT selected a 1-mile stretch of U.S. Highway 75 in Topeka and a 4-mile section of Kansas Highway 96 in Sedgwick County. The study also helped KDOT develop a policy on studying the future need for cable barriers, said KDOT spokeswoman Kim Qualls.

“All of the state highways will be reviewed again in 2012,” Qualls said. “It’s an every-three-year review.”

Hopson said he’s frustrated that the wrong-way crashes seem to be more frequent, citing two women who died in separate wrong-way crashes that occurred in August and October on K-10 near De Soto.

Qualls said KDOT officials would do research and respond to Hopson’s recent request. She said engineers re-evaluated and decided against any changes on K-10 after the Aug. 19 wrong-way fatality crash near De Soto.

According to KDOT, from 2000 to 2010, 19 people died and 756 were injured in 578

2 a.m. to the single-story duplex, and initial crews discovered that fire, which started outside, had spread inside and into an attic area. The fire was brought under control at 2:45 a.m.

Quick thinking by a neighborhood newspaper carrier helped alert residents to the blaze. Leslie O’Brien, 25, said she and her mother, Sandy O’Brien, were driving by as they delivered the JournalWorld’s River City Pulse publication at 2 a.m. They noticed a mattress leaning against the house was on fire, so Leslie O’Brien ran up and rang the doorbell several times as her mother called 911.

The ringing woke up one of the residents inside who tried to put out the fire until police

and firefighters arrived, she said.

“I just decided I needed to make sure everyone was safe, so I rang the doorbell like crazy,” Leslie O’Brien said.

Tolefree said the blaze caused an estimated $20,000 in damage.

County records value the duplex at $150,800.

Kristy Wempe-Bellinger, health and safety director of the Douglas County chapter of the American Red Cross, said the agency was providing assistance for lodging and food for the two families.

The chapter was still assessing what other assistance was needed, she said.

Woman charged with endangering child Staff Reports

Douglas County prosecutors have charged a 22-yearold Lawrence woman with endangering a 5-month-old child over recent months.

Police and prosecutors said little about the case Wednesday or any possible injuries to the victim or another 5-year-old child listed as a victim in the case that also includes two counts of misdemeanor battery.

But the three charges were filed against Kayla N. Brown, who Lawrence police arrested Tuesday evening at her home in the 1400 block of Haskell Avenue. A judge

Four people died in accidents in 2000, which was the highest number of deaths in that span.

Dean Sicking, a University of Nebraska civil engineering professor who conducted the 2008 study, said cable barriers were installed on Interstate 70 east of Kansas City, Mo., for example, because the highway had a narrower median plus higher traffic and fatality rates than most Kansas highways.

K-10 communities But Hopson, who attended funerals for both Cainan Shutt and Pittman on Wednesday, said things seemed to be getting worse and called Saturday’s wreck “the last straw.”

According to the charge that lists the younger child as the victim, prosecutors accuse Brown from Feb. 1 to April 15 of recklessly causing or permitting the child “to be placed in a situation in which

the child’s life, body or health is injured or endangered.”

Prosecutors allege the older child was battered between April 1 and April 15.

Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson said the children, who were only identified by their initials in the complaint, were related to Brown, but further information was unavailable.

Brown did start to say something in court about taking her son to a doctor, but Pro-Tem Judge James George cut her off, saying the purpose of the hearing was simply to set her bond in the case.

be warranted for both New Hampshire Street and East 17th Terrace. The plan doesn’t include specific traffic calming measures. Instead, McCullough said he’ll recommend that Dillons be required to pay for a portion of any traffic calming measures added to those two streets in the future. He said the city’s Traffic Safety Commission would be asked to determine whether traffic calming devices are needed for the area. Dillons previously has said it is willing to share in the cost for traffic calming additions.

The plans still call for the store to be about 10,000 square feet larger than the

existing store. Dillons officials previously have said the store will be open 24 hours, although the drive-through pharmacy likely will have hours of 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekends.

The project will require the existing Dillons store to close while the new store is built. A timeline for construction has not been announced

by Dillons.

City commissioners will consider the project at their 6:35 p.m. meeting on Tuesday at City Hall.

and that we request barriers to be installed immediately,” Hopson wrote in his letter to Brownback.

The Eudora mayor said he was also asking for city leaders in Lawrence, De Soto, Olathe, Overland Park and Lenexa to sign on.

Lawrence Mayor Aron Cromwell said he would favor the city sending a similar letter and said he expected city commissioners to discuss it Tuesday. Danny and Ann Basel, Cainan Shutt’s grandparents, both work in the city of Lawrence’s Public Works Department.

Cromwell said he would favor some type of barrier in the K-10 median based on the number of commuters, especially students who commute to go to either Kansas University or Johnson County Community College in Overland Park.

“That’s something that we

want them to take a look at and see if it can be done economically,” Cromwell said. “But it certainly would increase the safety of the road, especially at a time when they’re looking at increasing the speed limit on K-10.”

The Kansas Legislature recently passed a law increasing the maximum speed limit allowed on Kansas four-lane highways from 70 to 75, but Qualls said KDOT would put in significant study before deciding to increase the speed limit on K-10 or any stretch of road.

“We’ve done speed limit studies there as well,” Qualls said. “Everyone knows there’s lots of traffic out there that does drive increased speeds, and law enforcement is out there trying to enforce that.”

Teachers seek improved benefits

Obama: GOP spending plan ‘radical’ President Barack Obama declared Wednesday that congressional Republicans are pushing a radical plan to trim Medicare and Medicaid, ramping up the rhetoric before a friendly Facebook crowd at the headquarters of the popular social networking site.

Still, as Obama and Congress approach crucial decisions on spending and the national debt the president said he thinks a bipartisan accord is possible.

“I think it’s fair to say that their vision is radical,” Obama told a town hall gathering that included questions posed by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and sent in by site users.

“I don’t think it’s particularly courageous,” he said of the GOP plan to convert Medicare to a voucher program and make big cuts to the federal-state Medicaid program for the poor.

“Nothing is easier than solving a problem on the backs of people who are poor, or people who are powerless, or don’t have lobbyists, or don’t have clout,” Obama said.

Republicans in Congress argue strenuously that Obama’s deficit prescription would accomplish far too little and relies on economically damaging tax increases.

Poor take lead in abandoning landlines In a financial and technological role reversal, a growing number of Americans are getting rid of their old telephones and using only cellphones, a trend being led not by the high-tech elite but by people in poorer states as a way to save money.

Government estimates released Wednesday show at least 30 percent of adults in 10 states rely entirely on cellphones, with the highest percentage in Arkansas and Mississippi, where many cannot afford to pay for two separate lines.

Wealthier households have been slower to use wireless technology as their sole means of making calls.

“The answer’s obvious: No one has money here,” said John N. Daigle, a professor of electrical engineering at the University of Mississippi with broad experience in the telecommunications industry. “If they can do without a landline, they’ll do it to save money.”

Japan declared a 12-mile area evacuated around its radiation-spewing nuclear power plant a no-go zone today, urging residents to abide by the order for their own safety or possibly face fines or detention.

Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano said the order would take effect at midnight and was meant to prevent unrestricted entry into the mostly deserted area, which was ordered evacuated after last month’s tsunami and earthquake wrecked the Fukushima Daiichi plant’s power and cooling systems.

Under a special nuclear emergency law, people who enter the zone will now be subject to fines of up to $1,200 and possible detention of up to 30 days.

Up to now, defiance of the evacuation order was not punishable by law.

A Douglas County jury Wednesday afternoon acquitted a 26-year-old Lawrence man in an attempted murder trial related to a December shooting at a Lawrence apartment complex.

Jurors found Dustin D. Walker not guilty of attempted seconddegree murder and being a felon in possession of a firearm about 1:45 p.m. after they were given the case Wednesday morning. Prosecutors had accused Walker of shooting Darrick Dew, 23, of Lawrence, during a party at a crowded apartment.

Defense attorney John Kerns said after the verdict that prosecutors had little physical evidence and that there were problems with the credibility of several eyewitnesses at the party.

Kerns said eyewitness Kindra Toshavik contradicted herself several times on the stand Monday and Tuesday about seeing Walker in the area of where Dew was shot.

“It was the right verdict, and from the get-go we felt that way,” Kerns said.

Dew was injured after being shot Dec. 5, 2010, during a large party at South Pointe Apartments, 2310 W. 26th St. He had artery damage and was taken to the hospital by a relative. His family members left District Judge Paula Martin’s courtroom after the verdict was read.

“We’re disappointed in the outcome. We believe the evidence was sufficient to bring Mr. Walker to trial in this case,” Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson said. “However, we recognize that the lack of cooperation by the witnesses at the scene greatly hampered our ability to present a full case to the jury.”

Prosecutors said that many witnesses were not willing to speak with investigators and that many people who were at the party said they didn’t see the incident.

Chief assistant district attorney David Melton and assistant district attorney Michael Allen prosecuted the case.

Walker remains in custody because he still faces a reckless aggravated battery trial later this year related to a 2008 shooting of another Lawrence man in the 2500 block of Redbud Lane.

According to preliminary hearing testimony in that case, Walker told police he was acting in self-defense.

Haskell to host Empowerment Summit

LHS tennis court lights issue unresolved

Dancing, homemade food, a powwow and speeches on all aspects of Native American culture will be highlights at this weekend’s third annual Indigenous Empowerment Summit on Friday and Saturday on the Haskell Indian Nations University campus.

Events will include: ● Lecture topics ranging from a dance workshop to native health disparities to Haskell’s history. ● A service project of cleaning up campus and planting trees. ● An open mic. ● A Saturday lunch of homemade Native American food. ● Creek singers and Oklahoma gourd dancers, and a powwow beginning at 6:30 p.m. Saturday at Coffin Sports Complex Registration is $5 and starts at 9 a.m. Friday at Stidham Union. Sessions are 50 minutes long, and registration covers the whole weekend. Registration on Saturday will take place in Navarre Hall.

A Google Doc of the schedule can be downloaded from the event’s Facebook page “Indigenous Empowerment — Schools reporter Mark Fagan can be Summit.”

At the Lawrence Parks and Recreation advisory board meeting Tuesday, Ernie Shaw, interim director for parks and recreation, said efforts to add lights to the tennis complex at Lawrence High School have reached a standstill.

Shaw said his office hasn’t been able to come up with a plan to install lights at the joint city/school facility without creating significant issues for neighbors.

“I don’t know that we’re going to be able to do anything at that facility,” Shaw said.

Members of the Lawrence Tennis Association previously have sought lights at the facility so they could use the courts to hold their league play events. The Parks and Recreation Department does operate six lighted courts scattered throughout town, but it does not have a large facility that is lighted.

Shaw said he’s now waiting for new ideas to emerge.

“We do expect the issue is going to be brought back up again,” he said.

Frank Harwood, the district’s chief negotiator, said that the district’s response to the union’s requests would be forwarded in the coming weeks.

“We have to look at all of the things that would have an increased cost and see how they all go together, and look at that within the scope of the dollars available,” said Harwood, who is the district’s chief operations officer.

Administrators already have forwarded a budget plan to the Lawrence school board that would cut $3 million in expenses for the coming year to cover an expected decrease in money provided by the state. The board already has agreed to close Wakarusa Valley School, while other cuts have yet to be approved.

Union negotiators counter that the district has $6.8 million in contingency funds that could be used to boost salaries, plus $7.3 million in a special reserve fund that could be used to help improve insurance coverage for employees.

Negotiators plan to meet again at 5 p.m. May 4 at district headquarters, 110 McDonald Drive. reached at 832-7188.

violence each year, said everyone had the ability to help.

“Each individual has the opportunity to step up and say this is not OK,” he said.

Members of the panel explained that men can help prevent sexual assault by intervening in potentially harmful situations. They said men can also help by being supportive of friends who’ve been victims of sexual violence and having open and honest conversations with each other.

Sonja Heath, assistant director for the Emily Taylor Women’s Resource Center, moderated the event and keyed in on the importance of having that conversation.

“It’s meant to be a foot in the door,” Heath said of the panel discussion. “Hopefully the students will see that these conversations are happening and that it’s OK. We want to have these conversations with men so you can be part of the solution, too.”

The events, which are meant to raise awareness of sexual assault, continue through Friday.

A 20-year-old Lawrence man pleaded guilty Wednesday afternoon to two charges in connection with a February attempted robbery in Oread neighborhood.

Franklin J. Spottedtail entered pleas to attempted aggravated robbery and obstruction. Spottedtail was arrested early Feb. 26, and prosecutors accused him of running up behind a 43-yearold man in the 1100 block of Tennessee Street and grabbing the man’s arms as a co-defendant, 18-year-old Vince Dubray, tried to use a handgun to rob him.

The robbery attempt failed as a police officer drove by, Spottedtail told District Judge Sally Pokorny on Wednesday.

He said in his plea that he knew his co-defendant Dubray had a gun before the robbery.

Pokorny is scheduled to sentence Spottedtail at 11 a.m.

June 6. Spottedtail remains in jail on $20,000 bond.

Defense attorney Hatem Chahine said he planned to argue for probation, but assistant district attorney Deborah Moody said prosecutors would ask Pokorny to give Spottedtail a prison term.

Dubray’s case is pending.

Pokorny said Spottedtail could face anywhere from 31 months to 136 months in prison for the attempted robbery plea.

Mutt ’n’ Strut moves to new location

W I C H I T A ( AP ) — Kansans who drive motor vehicles with two, four or more wheels will soon be able to step on it a little more.

Legislation signed this week by Gov. Sam Brownback raises the state’s maximum speed limit from 70 to 75 mph and gives motorcycles riders some relief from “dead reds” — red lights that change only when they’re triggered by pavement-embedded sensors that often don’t register twowheeled vehicles.

Both provisions are contained in a House Bill 1292, a wide-ranging measure that also spells out rules for motorists to pass bicycles and bans cities or counties from tacking court costs onto fines for seat belt violations.

The passage and signing of the “dead reds” law was a vic-

tory for A Brotherhood Against Totalitarian Enactments, a motorcycle organization also known as ABATE. “We have had the dead red bill up there for several legislative sessions,” Tony Railsback, of Sterling, told The Wichita Eagle. ”I think it feels kind of good for a change to take some legislation up there and get it passed.”

The bill states that motorcycle and bicycle riders may proceed with caution through a steady red light after waiting a “reasonable” amount of time for the light to turn green.

Several Wichita motorcyclists cited numerous intersections in the city where they’re routinely stuck so long that they’ve taken to choosing alternate but longer routes.

A Look at Fetal Pain

Lawrence Humane Society’s annual Mutt ’n’ Strut Charity Walk will move to a new location this year: Watson Park, Seventh and Kentucky streets.

This year’s walk, on May 7, has a theme of promoting health and wellness through animal companionship.

Registration will be from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m., and the walk will start at 10 a.m.

Don “Red Dog” Gardner will start the day with warm-ups and stretching for walkers.

There will be contests for dogs, exhibitor booths, games and demonstrations. Prizes will be awarded for collecting the most pledges.

To register, visit lawrencehumane.org or pick up a form at the animal shelter, local vets or pet product stores in Lawrence. The deadline to register is April 30.

Despite my having known and liked State Senator Marci Francisco for over 30 years, there are some issues on which we disagree. The most important of these is abortion. Sen. Francisco is one of the many folk from all walks of life who support legitimized abortion.

In her periodic newsletter, Sen. Francisco says she opposed HB 2218, the bill on fetal pain, “since research indicates that a fetus does not experience (pain) until after 26 weeks and only then when it possesses a functioning cerebral cortex.”

Sen. Francisco and her fellows with whom I’m acquainted are compassionate people who would never advocate inflicting pain on an unborn baby. They hail legitimized abortion because of their failure to realize that irritability, the capacity for pain, i.e. to feel pain, is a manifestation of life; thus each successful abortion brings to its tiny victim an agonizing death.

Q:

Can you drive a motorcycle with an interlock ignition device restriction on your license? If not, can you get an interlock ignition device for a motorcycle?

A:

Jeannine Koranda, a Kansas Department of Revenue spokeswoman, said an order for an ignition interlock device applies to motorcycles as well.

“If you are required to have an ignition interlock device and you have a motorcycle license, you would have to have one on your motorcycle before you would ride it,” she said. “If you have one on there, then you should be fine.”

As to whether the devices could be installed on motorcycles, Koranda said that would be determined by the various companies that install the devices on vehicles.

Former biology teacher to enter state Teachers’ Hall of Fame

By Mark Fagan mfagan@ljworld.com

A retired biology teacher who remains devoted to teaching youngsters in the Lawrence area will be inducted into the Kansas Teachers’ Hall of Fame.

Stan Roth, who taught biology at Lawrence High School for 38 years before transferring to Free State High School for two years and retiring in 1999, is among nine educators included in the hall’s 2011 class.

Roth and his colleagues will be honored during an induction ceremony June 4 at the hall in Dodge City.

“Of course, it’s an undeniable honor,” Roth said Tuesday afternoon, after helping educate Schwegler School students visiting the Akin Prairie southeast of Lawrence. “But the most important thing is it’s a way to get the word out to the public that the profession of school teaching is a worthy profession. It truly is.”

More than 350 educators have been inducted into the hall, which was founded in 1977 and is billed as the first teachers’ hall of fame in the United States.

To be inducted, an educator must have been a K-12 or vocational school teacher or administrator for at least 25 years and meet a number of standards of excellence.

Other former Lawrence High educators — including Ray Wilbur, who taught math, and Gertrude Ruttan, who taught Latin — already

Bill Medley, who served as Lawrence High’s principal from 1966 to 1973, is looking forward to seeing Roth join them.

“The product that he produced as a teacher is almost unparalleled,” said Medley, who nominated Roth for induction. “He has many, many former students who have reached a very high level in their professions. He spent hours and hours working with students outside the classroom, and that set him apart from other people.”

Audit shows drop in volume, income ing available and the downtown in patient volume.

“Lawrence Memorial Hospital does a good of looking toward the future,” she said.

“They truly are a good hospital.”

By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

Lawrence Memorial Hospital had fewer patient visits last year, which affected its bottom line.

It’s not alone.

“Industrywide, patient volume has been down a couple of years,” said Angela Miratsky, a partner with the Kansas City, Mo.-based accounting firm BKD. “The economy has been tough for everyone.”

But, she said, LMH is faring much better financially than its peers.

“They are pretty strong compared to a lot of the other hospitals,” she said. “They seem to be well managed.

They seem to weather the downturn of the economy pretty well.”

Miratsky presented the 2010 audit report Wednesday during the Board of Trustees meeting.

LMH ended 2010 with an operating income of $8.7 million, down 9.2 percent from the previous year.

Both revenues and expenses increased.

The hospital had $173 million in operating revenue, a 6.1 percent increase, compared to $163 million in 2009.

Operating expenses of $164 million were up by $11 million, or 7.1 percent, from 2009.

There was a 3.4 percent decrease in overall patient activity in 2010. The hospital had 216,652 outpatient visits, 6,551 inpatient discharges, 35,627 emergency room visits and 1 , 148 births, which reflected about 10,000 fewer patient visits than the record year of 2009.

LMH is a nonprofit hospital that doesn’t rely on taxpayer dollars. It reinvests operating revenues to finance building improvements, purchase new equipment and to provide additional services. In 2011, it plans to spend $9 million on a kitchen renovation, new equipment and technology upgrades.

“Show me the money.” It’s an iconic phrase from the 1996 movie “Jerry McGuire,” and it – the money – is also the lifeblood of a local economy like ours.

Money moves constantly in and out of a community, going from person to person or business to business. Local economies like the Lawrence/Douglas County area are healthy when they bring in more money than they send out to other communities.

Most money flows into the local economy through the business activities of the primary, or “contributory” industries. A primary business is one that sells its goods or services outside the area, importing money back into the local area. In Lawrence, Amarr Garage Doors and Berry Plastics are just two examples of contributory, or primary, industries.

When primary businesses sell their products, they pay their workers. Workers in turn circulate the money to what we call “consumptive” businesses: retail stores, service companies, restaurants, banks, doctors and lawyers.

Primary businesses, through payroll, other taxes and local purchases, have a positive effect on the Lawrence/Douglas County economy. try of money into the local area is critical to the success of our local the strongest and most consistent economies are those with diversified primary businesses. By attracting and retaining a variety of primary industries, the community is protected against the instability of a “boom and bust” economy like those experienced

Treanor Architects will refurbish and improve the old Strong Office Building site at 1040 Vermont and bring 55 new employees into downtown traffic generated by these two projects alone will have a positive effect on other local businesses.

Business growth and attraction efforts begun in 2010 are coming to fruition now. Berry Plastics is breaking ground on its new 600,000 square foot warehouse

LIBYA

2 Western photojournalists killed

By Ben Hubbard Associated Press Writer

M I S R A T A , L I B Y A — Two Western photojournalists, including an Oscar-nominated film director, were killed Wednesday in the besieged city of Misrata while covering battles between rebels and Libyan government forces. Two others working alongside them were wounded.

British-born Tim Hetherington, co-director of the documentary “Restrepo” about U.S. soldiers on an outpost in Afghanistan, was killed inside the only rebelheld city in western Libya, said his U.S.-based publicist, Johanna Ramos Boyer. The city has come under weeks of relentless shelling by government troops.

Chris Hondros, a New York-based photographer for Getty Images, was also killed.

His work appeared in major magazines and newspapers around the world, and his awards include the Robert Capa Gold Medal, one of the highest prizes in war photography.

Many circumstances of the incident were unclear. A statement from Hetherington’s family said he was killed by a rocket-propelled grenade.

The Washington Post reported that the journalists had gone with rebel fighters to Tripoli Street in the center of Misrata, scene of the some of the most intense recent fighting in the city.

After an ambulance rushed Hetherington and Guy Martin to a triage tent, an American photographer whose bulletproof vest was splattered with blood implored the drivers to go back for more victims, the Post reported.

Hetherington was bleeding heavily from his leg and died about 15 minutes after he reached the triage facility, while Hondos died after suffering a severe brain injury

Chris Hondros

from shrapnel, the Post reported.

The two other photographers — Martin, a Briton aff iliated with the Panos photo agency, and Michael Christopher Brown — were treated for shrapnel wounds, doctors said.

Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi’s forces have intensified their weekslong assault on Libya’s third-largest city, firing tank shells and rockets into residential areas, according to witnesses and human rights groups.

NATO commanders have admitted their airpower is limited in being able to protect civilians in a city — the core mission of the international air campaign.

In Washington, the White House expressed sadness over the attack and called on Libya and other governments to take steps to protect journalists.

“Journalists across the globe risk their lives each day to keep us informed, demand accountability from world leaders and give a voice to those who would not otherwise be heard,” press secretary Jay Carney said.

Hetherington, 40, was killed a day after he tweeted: “In besieged Libyan city of Misrata. Indiscriminate shelling by Qaddafi forces.

No sign of NATO.”

“Tim was in Libya to continue his ongoing multimedia project to highlight humanitarian issues during time of war and conflict,” Hetherington’s family said in a statement. “He will be forever missed.”

Hetherington was nominated for an Academy Award for his 2010 documentary film “Restrepo.” The film was co-directed by Sebastian Junger, author of “The Perfect Storm.”

Hondros, 41, had covered conflict zones since the late 1990s, capturing clutching, jeering and fearful moments from wars including Kosovo, Iraq and Afghanistan.

One front-page New York Times photo from 2007 showed a Humvee patrol in Iraq from a different angle: The ruddy hands of an Iraqi interpreter and a pair of muddied boots belonging to a gunner.

Two other journalists have been killed in the Libyan conflict, according to the New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists. An unknown gunman killed Mohammed al-Nabbous, founder of the online Libya Al-Hurra TV, in the rebel stronghold of Benghazi on March 19. Cameraman Ali Hassan al-Jaber was shot when his Al-Jazeera crew was ambushed near Benghazi on March 13.

U.S. to give Libyan rebels nonlethal aid WASHINGTON — The Obama administration plans to give the Libyan opposition $25 million in nonlethal assistance in the first direct U.S. aid to the rebels after weeks of assessing their capabilities and intentions, officials said Wednesday.

Amid a debate over whether to offer the rebels broader assistance, including cash and possibly weapons and ammunition, the administration has informed Congress that President Barack Obama intends to use his so-called drawdown authority to give the opposition, led by the Transitional National Council in Benghazi, up to $25 million in surplus American goods to help protect civilians in rebel-held areas threatened by Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi’s forces.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who recommended that Obama authorize the assistance, said the aid would go to support the council and “our efforts to protect civilians and the civilian populated areas that are under threat of attack from their own government in Libya.”

She said the aid “will be drawn down from items already in government stocks that correspond with the needs that we have heard from the Transitional National Council.”

Flyover, vigils mark Gulf oil disaster anniversary NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Relatives flew over Gulf of Mexico waters Wednesday where 11 oil rig workers died a year ago, residents gathered in prayer vigils onshore and President Barack Obama vowed to hold BP and others accountable for “the painful losses that they’ve caused.”

Even as somber remembrances marked the first anniversary of the worst offshore oil spill in American history, there were reminders that lengthy legal battles lay ahead. BP filed a lawsuit alleging negligence by the maker of the device that failed to stop the spill and the rig owner.

Both filed their own claims.

The disaster began on the night of April 20, 2010, when the Deepwater Horizon rig burst into flames and killed the 11 men. The rest of the crew evacuated, but two days later the rig toppled into the Gulf and sank to the sea floor.

Over the next 85 days, 206 million gallons of oil — 19 times more than the Exxon Valdez spilled — spewed from the well.

Parents, siblings and wives of the workers — whose bodies were never recovered — boarded a helicopter Wednesday to see the waters where their loved ones perished.

The helicopter took them from New Orleans out to the well site, circled around so

that people on both sides of the aircraft could see and then returned to shore, said Arleen Weise, whose son, Adam, was killed on the rig. The only indication they were at the site was an announcement from the pilot, she said.

“It was just a little emotional, seeing where they were,” Weise said by phone from Houston, where rig owner Transocean planned an evening memorial service.

Asked what went through her mind when she saw where the rig went down, Weise said, “Just rise up. I wanted them to come up, but it didn’t happen.”

In a statement, President Barack Obama paid tribute to those killed in the blast and said that despite significant progress toward mitigating the spill’s worst impacts, “the job isn’t done.”

“We continue to hold BP and other responsible parties fully accountable for the damage they’ve done and the painful losses that they’ve caused,” he said.

BP said in its lawsuit filed in federal court in New Orleans that Cameron International provided a blowout preventer with a faulty design, alleging that negligence by the manufacturer helped cause the disaster. The suit seeks damages to help BP pay for the tens of billions of dollars in liabilities it has incurred from the disaster.

BUSINESS AT A GLANCE

Notable ● Billionaire Eric Schmidt feels more comfortable taking a million dollar paycheck as Google Inc.’s former CEO than he did when he was running the Internet’s most powerful company.

After voluntarily limiting his annual salary to $1 during most of his 10-year reign as Google’s CEO, Schmidt is getting a $1.25 million raise in his new job as executive chairman. The bigger paycheck kicked in April 4 when Schmidt was replaced as CEO by Google co-founder Larry Page.

The revised compensation package, filed with federal regulators Tuesday, will pay Schmidt an annual bonus of up to $6 million. The raise and bonus plan supplement a stock package valued at $100 million that the board awarded Schmidt shortly after the late January announcement about Google’s planned change in command.

College students get hard lessons in finance

By Connie Cass Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON — In these tight times, college students are getting a lesson in economics no matter what their major.

Students say money influences everything from what school they attend and what career they pursue to how quickly they complete their degrees — or whether they graduate at all.

Money problems, not bad grades, are the reason cited by most college students who have considered dropping out, an Associated Press-Viacom poll finds.

Almost 6 in 10 students rely on loans to help with college costs, and nearly half who do say they’re uncomfortable with the debt. A majority of students at four-year colleges say they routinely feel at least a little worried about having enough money to make it through the week, according to the poll, conducted in partnership with Stanford University.

Scrimping has long been part of the college experience, of course, but tough times in the real world mean even tighter money on campus.

Recession-battered parents have less money to spend on their kids’ tuition.

Jobs that used to be waiting upon graduation aren’t there anymore — consumed by the nation’s 8.8 percent unem-

— Allyson Bure, 20, a nursing student who works two part-time jobs ployment rate. And college prices keep going up, as states struggle with budget deficits.

Average tuition, room and board rose to about $16,000 at in-state public schools this year and $37,000 at private schools.

Most college students — 84 percent — need more than one source of cash to keep up, the poll of people ages 18 to 24 found.

About two-thirds say they work part-time or more to help pay for college. That’s supplemented by another popular source of funds: Mom and Dad. Six in 10 get help from parents. The same number rely on scholarships for part of the bill.

“For a while, I couldn’t find a job, and it was like, ‘How am I going to eat? And how am I going to get to school if I don’t have gas?”’ said Allyson Bure, 20, a nursing student who works two part-time jobs, as a clerk at a Fashion Bug store and as a hotel housekeeper.

Alcohol campaign Anti-drinking messages usually travel from adults to young people, but, in a local drive, young people are telling adults not to be part of the problem.

W

e’re heading into prom and graduation season, a time when high school students want to celebrate. Some will want to toast the occasion with a beer or two. A drink isn’t that hard to come by when you have a fake ID or an older friend, brother or sister willing to buy you a case of beer, some wine or a bottle of whiskey.

Enter the Sticker Shock Lawrence program.

The group of students is hoping to discourage those over age 21 from buying alcohol for teens. On Saturday, dozens of area high school students visited local liquor stores to spread their message by placing more than 1,000 stickers on cases of beer. The stickers warn customers not to buy alcohol for teens.

The Sticker Shock Lawrence program is assisted by community agencies and organized by the Lawrence Youth Coalition.

DCCCA, local law enforcement, Kansas Alcoholic Beverage Control staff and numerous area liquor stores also participated. The project was prompted by a 2010 survey of Lawrence youth that found 44 percent of area high school seniors had consumed alcohol in the past month, some of which was purchased for them by someone over the age of 21.

“It just seemed like a good cause,” said Free State High School senior Sam Corkins, as he was placing stickers on cases of Keystone Lite at the Cork & Barrel on West 23rd Street.

“Being in high school, you know there’s a lot of this going on.”

Too much. Convincing people over 21 not to buy alcohol for younger friends and family members won’t make it impossible for them to get and drink alcohol, but it would make it significantly harder for them to do so.

The best thing about the Sticker Shock Lawrence is that it’s a youth-driven initiative.

Let’s hope the students’ message resonates with its intended audience: adults.

Education chair takes aim at ‘No Child’ WASHINGTON — During 25 years in the Marine Corps, including flying helicopters in Vietnam, Rep. John Kline, a Minnesota Republican, developed the skill of maintaining small-unit cohesion. He will need this skill in his new job.

Half the Republican members of the committee he now chairs are in their first term, and he laughingly guesses that in 2010 “about half of them campaigned on abolishing the Education Department.” Ronald Reagan was an abolitionist, and Kline has proposed legislation to replace Ulysses Grant’s visage with Reagan’s on the $50 bill.

Kline, now in his fifth term, chairs the Education and the Workforce Committee that will have jurisdiction over rethinking No Child Left Behind, which soon will be 10 years old and may not recognizably survive to see its 12th birthday. As a Marine, one of Kline’s assignments was to carry the “football” — the package containing the nuclear launch codes — for Presidents Carter and Reagan.

Education policy involves no intimations of Armageddon, but will force conservatives to confront a contradiction between their correct theory and a stubborn fact.

Their theory is that education in grades K through 12, which gets most of the Education Department’s attention, is a quintessentially state and local responsibility, so the department is inimical to local control of education. Created by a Democratic-controlled Con-

promises that “theKline current system for

measuring ‘adequate yearly progress’ ‘will not exist when we are done.’

And he says ‘we have to get rid of this “highly qualified teacher” thing’ in NCLB. … The stress, Kline says, should be on ‘highly effective teachers.’”

gress in 1979, the department was promised by candidate Jimmy Carter, who in 1976 became the first presidential candidate ever endorsed by the National Education Association, the largest teachers union.

Unfortunately, the stubborn fact is that local control means control by the teachers unions.

Most school boards are elected, often in stand-alone elections in which turnout is low and the unions’ organization prevails.

This, Kline says, “is exactly the conversation I’m having with my new members.” He notes that in Minnesota, since school board

elections were moved to regular election days, some people not supported by the unions have won.

He emphatically favors “a greatly reduced federal footprint” in primary and secondary education. About NCLB, he is decorous, calling it “well-intentioned.” What do teachers in his district think? “They hate it.”

This is understandable, given Secretary of Education Arne Duncan’s recent estimate that more than 80,000 of the nation’s 100,000 public schools are going to fail to meet NCLB’s requirement of “adequate yearly progress” when that is measured in testing this spring.

Duncan says 82 percent could fail, compared to 37 percent last year. Such a one-year increase would be startling, but the trend is inauspicious: 28 percent failed in the 2006-07 school year.

And success — make that “success” — might be worse than failure. NCLB decrees that schools shall receive 100 percent proficiency by 2014, which is a powerful incentive for states to define proficiency down. The New York Times reports: “In South Carolina, about 81 percent of elementary and middle schools missed targets in 2008. The state Legislature responded by reducing the level of achievement defined as proficient, and the next year the proportion of South Carolina schools missing targets dropped to 41 percent.”

There also are reasons to suspect that NCLB’s threat of labeling schools as failures consti-

tutes an incentive to cheat. In a number of jurisdictions, including 103 schools in the District of Columbia, machines that grade the tests have detected suspiciously high levels of erasures as test-takers changed incorrect to correct answers.

Kline promises that the current system for measuring “adequate yearly progress” “will not exist when we are done.” And he says “we have to get rid of this ‘highly qualified teacher’ thing” in NCLB. He thinks “qualified” is shorthand for teachers processed by the normal credentialing apparatus of education schools and departments.

The stress, Kline says, should be on “highly effective teachers.”

He favors more charter schools — public schools operating outside union restrictions. He notes that when unions say these schools are “unfair” because “they work under different rules,” he tersely responds: “Precisely.”

There are 14,000 more or less autonomous school districts.

Kline knows that at this moment of waning confidence in the federal government, it is strange to assume that leverage from a combination of national tests and national money can efficiently improve the system. And it is stranger still to assume that even if this combination could do so, Washington has the knowledge to move all 14,000 in the right direction. In this Marine from Minnesota, the man and the moment have met.

Trouble in River City! Lawrence city commissioners had recently voted to allow pool halls to be open on Sundays.

The city had had a long-standing and YEARS usually overlooked ordinance banning AGO pool halls from being open between the IN 1971 hours of midnight Saturday to 6 a.m.

Monday. The ordinance had not been enforced until recently, when city police had unearthed it and requested that it be respected. However, city legal advisers had told the commissioners that the old law was discriminatory, so the commission passed a new ordinance to repeal the closed-on-Sunday rule.

From the Lawrence Daily JournalWorld for April 21, 1911: “The entire family of Will Endacott, 846 Illinois, was poisoned Monday of YEARS this week by eating a quantity of canned AGO pie-plant. The rhubarb had been canned IN 1911 in tin vessels, and it is presumed that the action of the acid on the tin produced some variety of metallic poisoning. The members of the family became deathly sick shortly after eating the food, and were soon in convulsions. A physician who was called suggested an efficient emetic, and the attack was soon stopped.”

— George Will is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

Injustice continues after prison The DNA says he didn’t do it.

The prosecutor and victim still say he did, but DNA is definitive and tests found none of Derrick Williams’ on the shirt the victim says her rapist wore when she was attacked in 1992.

Williams, of Palmetto, Fla., has always maintained his innocence; witnesses placed him at a family barbecue at the time of the assault and he offered blood and saliva samples to prove he was not the culprit, but the rapist had left no sperm samples they could be tested against and no means then existed to extract DNA from clothing.

So the case largely came down to the victim’s word against his.

On that basis, Williams spent 18 years in prison. He was freed this month, his conviction overturned thanks to a DNA test paid for by the Innocence Project of Florida.

And maybe you think this is the part of the story where Williams, 48, gets his life back, maybe with some financial compensation from the state that wronged him.

You would be mistaken.

Williams is legally barred from even applying. Under a 2008 Florida law, no one who seeks compensation for wrongful incarceration can have prior felony convictions on his record. Williams has several nonviolent felonies, including larceny. So the state takes 18 years of his life, says in effect, “Oops, my bad” and that’s supposed to be the end of it? Incredibly, yes.

The worst part is not that the law is absurdly mean-spirited and

ishment — from candidate Bill Clinton executing a retarded man to Sheriff Joe Arpaio serving prisoners green bologna and moldy bread. It’s good politics to do so, and politics, make no mistake, is what this is all about. So we toss aside the old ideal that once a convict paid his or her “debt to society,” he or she was entitled to a second chance. Granted, not every offender would take that chance.

But to remove the chance from the equation altogether is to ensure that no one can. It is to put a thumb on the scales of rehabilitation.

If that makes life hard for the excon trying to straighten out his life, it’s also no picnic for the citizen who gets mugged when the con decides it’s impossible.

Note that when a reporter from the Bradenton Herald tried to reach Derrick Williams for an interview recently, his sister said he was out looking for a job. The economy being what it is, his resume being what it is, and the political climate being what it is, how would you assess his chances? They are poor at best.

But we should never be so “tough on crime” as to make going straight impossible. At least, assuming our goal is to punish and rehabilitate.

Some days, it seems it’s just to punish — and then punish some more.

punitive. No, the worst part is that it is also absurdly short-sighted.

It has that in common with laws and policies all over the country that impinge upon a former felon’s re-entry into the mainstream. In some states, an ex-felon loses the right to vote for life. Ex-felons can also be denied work, housing, loans, the right to serve on a jury.

But here’s the thing: If you pinch off every avenue by which a former offender seeks to better himor herself, what route do you leave open? Only the one that leads back — Leonard Pitts Jr., winner of the 2004 to prison.

To the editor: When the final sentencing of those involved in the Kansas University ticket scandal comes next month, the university and its athletics department will be able to focus on far more productive issues within the university community and with thousands of generous donors to the Williams Educational Fund. As more than a casual observer of events over the past few years, I can state unequivocally that the department is in excellent hands with Sheahon Zenger. He is not only a KU graduate, but also a Kansan who has confessed to now “having his dream job.”

And, regarding the staff members who remain, Zenger has inherited people of high quality and excellent experience at KU and elsewhere.

What transpired in the recent past was painful for the KU family. Much credit should be given to the interim athletics director, Sean Lester, for holding it all together and to Chancellor Bernadette GrayLittle and KU alumnus Ray Evans for their efforts to hire someone with the character and skills of Zenger. If you have met him, you know what I mean. If you have not, you will like what you hear and see.

Rock Chalk!

Good service To the editor:

This is in response to Tuesday’s editorial, “Tax challenge.”

When retailers consistently embody the basic tenets of superior customer service, we consumers will spend our money with you. If this economic recession has taught us anything, it is that the only way we can be heard is with our money. Even our vote brings people and policies who change who and what they are midstream. As long as we are ignored, manipulated (sales), blamed and mistreated we will shop where we feel most loved, in our homes.

Only Thieves Tonight's Indie offering from the Jackpot Music Hall, 943 Mass., comes in the form of Tallahassee band Only Thieves. The four-piece rock act is touring in support of their full-length album "Heartless Romantics." Only Thieves have a sound best described as anthemic as they forfeit complicated song structures in favor of hammering percussion, simple guitar hooks and impassioned vocals courtesy of guitarist and lead vocal James Barnes.

These traits make Echo of the Elms a great compliment, as they too traffic in forward-moving rock that has a much more aggressive edge to it when heard live.

And while Elevator Action may display better musicianship than Only Thieves, they don't lose any of the immediacy.

WikiLeaks suspect arrives at Fort Leavenworth W A S H I N G T O N ( A P ) — The Army private suspected of illegally passing U.S. government secrets to the WikiLeaks website was transferred Wednesday to an Army prison in Kansas from the Marine brig in Virginia where he has spent the past nine months.

Pfc. Bradley Manning, suspected of having obtained the classified documents while serving as an Army intelligence analyst in Iraq, is awaiting a determination by the Army on whether he is mentally competent to stand trial.

An Army spokesman at the Pentagon, Col. Tom Collins, said Manning arrived safely at the Joint Regional Correctional Facility at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., on Wednesday afternoon. Over the coming five to seven days he will undergo an in-depth physical and behavioral assessment by Leavenworth staff, Collins said.

Shortly after the Pentagon announced its decision to transfer Manning, the soldier’s lawyer, David Coombs, wrote on his blog that his client’s treatment at Quantico

was substandard.

“While the defense hopes that the move to Fort Leavenworth will result in the Manning improvement of Pfc. Manning’s conditions of conf inement, it nonetheless intends to pursue redress at the appropriate time for the flagrant violations of his constitutional rights by the Quantico confinement facility,” Coombs wrote.

The Pentagon said Manning would be returned to the Washington, D.C., area as needed for legal proceedings, since his case is under the jurisdiction of the Army’s Military District of Washington. No trial date has been set.

The new facility has more space, and Manning will have a greater opportunity to eat and interact with other prisoners there, officials said.

There also is a larger staff of trained mental, emotional and physical health specialists.

KANSAS RELAYS

City revival’s epicenter

Mr. Big Shot

Everything has to start someplace. Historians will note that the revival of track and field in the United States began Wednesday, April 20, 2011, right here in Lawrence, on Eighth Street, 80 feet or so east of New Hampshire.

And about 2,500 curiosityseekers can say they witnessed it.

The guys who will bring back the sport’s popularity won’t do it on fields inside the boundaries of all-weather tracks.

They’ll do it at venues built for a day at downtown sites, just like the one constructed Wednesday and scheduled for dismantling this morning.

Shot putters are easy to spot.

They’re the men whose arms make Popeye’s look like twigs.

They have tree trunks where most men have necks. Not only that, they have personalities.

They like to tell their stories, enjoy signing autographs and even openly recruit spectators to pump up the volume. Think Tiger Woods. Now think total opposite. They’ll be the guys to bring back the sport by taking it to the people.

Credit Kansas Relays director Milan Donley for coming up with the idea of having the nation’s first downtown shot put — inspired by the success of similar European shows — and for joining hands with the Mike Yoder/Journal-World Photos city of Lawrence to seamlessly CANADIAN DYLAN ARMSTRONG PUTS THE SHOT during the Kansas Relays men’s elite shot put event Wednesday in downtown Lawrence.

“It usually doesn’t take me this long, sorry,” Hoffa said while twisting the cube. “I’m feeling the pressure. My cube works a lot faster. I have it lubed up. That was kind of slow. I’m kind of embarrassed.

I should do it faster than that.”

Of his shot put runner-up effort, Hoffa said: “I should have hit it a little harder. I’ve been training real well. I should have put it together. I did get to my 83rd competition over 69 feet. I’m two (competitions) away from No. 2 all-time (over 69), so that’s kind of cool.”

The setting was perfect.

“We are getting used to it.

We’re starting to have a lot of events like this in Europe,” Armstrong said. “Zurich had it in a train station. Stockholm had it downtown like this.

Hopefully people come on board in other cities and start doing it. This was great. There can’t be anything better.”

Noted third-place finisher Nelson: “Lawrence did a fantastic job hosting it. There was an amazing turnout. To have an event like this and no issues the first time to do it speaks of the professionalism of the people here.”

Eight individuals competed. Corey Martin was fourth in 67-113⁄4, followed by Ryan Whiting (67-11), Dorian Scott (66-0), Noah Bryant (65-11) 1 and Dan Taylor (62-7 ⁄4). ● First day: KU’s Rebecca Neville placed first in three of four events to lead the Candace Mason heptathlon with 3,125 points. Iowa State’s Jordon Andreassen and Nebraska’s Jordan Steins enter today’s final three events with 3,028 and 3,011 points. Neville, a sophomore from Merrillville, Ind., had a personal-best 3 5-5 ⁄4 in the high jump.

“You go into every competition like that,” Neville said of trying to win. “The girls that I’m beating right now from Nebraska beat me at the Indoor Big 12 Championships even though that wasn’t a good pentathlon for me, but it’s just showing me how much better I’m getting as we move on in the season.”

Jamal Currica of Iowa State leads the decathlon with 3582 points. Teran Walford of Nebraska and KU’s Nick Canton are second and third with 3,460 and 3,311 points. ● This, that: The long jump will be held at 6 p.m., today, downtown (Eight Street, between Vermont and Massachusetts).

The event features two-time Olympian Walter Davis, as well as Alain Bailey, ranked fourth in the world in 2010.

The 6-foot-8 Daniels, who visited Duke last weekend, told Rivals.com he has a final list of KU, Duke, Texas, Florida, San Diego State and Colorado. Florida’s Billy Donovan visited IMG earlier this week.

“The Duke visit was really

good,” the 6-foot-8 Daniels said. “I loved it. The atmosphere there was like a family.

“Style of play is important to me. I want to play right away, and I want to play for a coach who will make me better both on and off the court.”

Zagsblog.net reports that because of a death in the family, Daniels will not travel to Louisville for Friday’s Derby Festival. Traylor, a 6-8 forward, will visit KU this weekend. He is also considering Oklahoma State, St. John’s, Texas Tech, Indiana, Memphis and Mississippi State.

●

York on the radar: Gabe York, a 6-2 junior guard from Lutheran High in Orange, Calif., recently received a scholarship offer from KU, Rivals.com reports. The No. 41-ranked player in the Class of 2012 has also received offers from Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado, Connecticut, Marquette, Oklahoma, Oregon State, USC, Washington, and Washington State.

FREE STATE’S NICK PELLET RETURNS A SHOT in his No. 2 singles match against Lawrence High’s Ilan Rosen during their match Wednesday at LHS. “That third match is a match he’s going to win if he’s not rusty like he was today,” Strawderman said.

As for the match with Guignon?

“Well, you’re looking at the top of the class in the state right there,” Strawderman said.

The Firebirds’ No. 1 doubles team, Chris Helt and Patrick Carttar, finished third, knocking off a doubles team from South, 8-4, in the third-place match.

Freshman Thomas Irick won six matches Tuesday, but struggled against tougher competition on Wednesday.

He entered the No. 1 singles bracket as a sixth seed and finished seventh.

LHS coach Chris Marshall said he thought Irick was a little too stiff and sore to play well.

“And this tournament has some of the best tennis you’ll see around,” Marshall said.

The Lions’ No. 1 doubles team of Connor Schmidt and Matt Grom f inished f ifth place, winning two games in the backdraw.

The duo had to earn it, falling behind, 6-2, in their final match against Olathe Northwest’s Karl Gottschalk and Dom Fambino before storming back to win, 8-7 (7-3).

Lawrence High will play at Topeka Seaman on Tuesday.

The Firebirds will play host to perennial power Washburn Rural in a dual today, rescheduled from Friday.

By Clark Goble

Fresh off a six-day band trip to Disney World, Free State High junior Andrew Craig wasn’t expecting to play his best tennis at Wednesday’s seven-team Lawrence High Invitational.

It certainly didn’t help that he drew Shawnee Mission East senior Ross Guignon in the second round of the No. 1 singles bracket. Last season, Guignon finished second in 6A state singles.

Craig struggled with ground strokes in his 8-2 loss to Guignon, but still felt he gained something from playing such a tough opponent.

“It just feels good just to be able to go out and be able to compete with him,” Craig said. “The way he hit the ball, you can learn some things from that.”

With 23 points, Free State finished in a tie for third place.

LHS was fifth with 20. Blue Valley West (38 points) edged SM East (34) for first.

Craig won his first match against Leavenworth’s Patrick Smith, 8-1, but lost the match with Guignon and his next match to Shawnee Mission South’s Kevin Kochersperger, 8-4, to finish in fourth.

Free State coach Oather Strawderman said he understood that Craig needed to get back in the flow of the season to perform well.

Selby and the (Morris) twins were going to stay there and it would be short minutes, and (Self) was like ‘You’re a pretty high ranked guy. You want to go somewhere and play as a freshman, and your minutes are going to be limited here.’

“I respected them for being honest with me. So when they lost those three guys, they came back at me hard. They approached with the same way when they let me know about the guys leaving. By letting me know at first, that’s why I was like, ‘That’s a guy I can trust.’’’

announced plans to transfer, may visit KU this weekend, according to Rivals.com. West Virginia and KU are believed to be his leaders.

Dodgers 6, Braves 1 LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles capped a tumultuous day with a victory over Atlanta, getting a four-hitter from Jon Garland on rookie manager Don Mattingly’s 50th birthday.

Major League Baseball announced earlier Wednesday that it was assuming con-

trol of the Dodgers, a team increasingly paralyzed by its owners’ bitter divorce. Commissioner Bud Selig told Frank McCourt he will appoint a MLB representative to oversee all aspects of the business and the day-to-day operations of the club.

The players didn’t seem to be bothered by the turmoil one bit.

Andre Ethier had three hits, including his 100th career homer.

do my best to keep the place clean, but Kim is never satisfied. I work two jobs and always pay my share of the bills on time. I am tired of being treated like a maid. We have nine months left on our lease, and I’m not sure I can stand it. Please help. — FedUp Roommate

Dear Annie: My best friend, “Kim,” and I moved into an apartment together a couple of months ago. We’ve known each other since high school and always got along wonderfully.

However, she is a control freak when it comes to our living space. From Day One, she insisted on taking charge of the decorating and deciding which one of us would do what chores and when.

She goes nuts if the dishwasher isn’t emptied immediately or if the utensils are not put away in a certain order. If a throw rug is a little crooked, she complains that the place is a pigsty and blames me.

I dread spending time in the apartment. I am not a slob. I

It’s hard to stand out amidst the clutter of Earth Day-related programming. My choice is “The 12,000 Bottle Boat” (7 p.m., National Geographic). Americans disposed of 31 million tons of plastic trash every year. A lot of that winds up in the ocean where vast islands of garbage grow in size every year.

How do you illuminate the magnitude of that waste problem? Environmentalist David de Rothschild decided to build a boat out of 12,000 soda bottles. It’s a sixperson catamaran named “Plastiki” and its creator hopes it is sea-worthy enough for a 1,500 mile voyage. ● Jason Priestley stars in “Call Me Fitz” (8 p.m., DirectTV Channel 101) a comedy about a disreputable, dishonest and womanizing used car salesman. A hit in Canada, “Fitz” becomes the latest series to appear exclusively on the satellite provider.

In the past, DirectTV shared the production costs of “Friday Night Lights” in order to air that series first and then allow NBC repeat privileges. Beginning with this season, “Damages” (formerly on FX) will now air only on DirectTV. On one level this is no different than the exclusivity enjoyed by HBO or Showtime subscribers. Except that anyone with a cable or satellite account can choose to get those premium services. To watch “Fitz” or “Damages,” you have to choose a specific provider. It’s not unlike video games that only play on certain consoles. ● The line between politician-turnedreality-star (Sarah Palin) and reality-starturned-politician (Donald Trump) grows fuzzier by the news cycle. Tonight, Palin is profiled on “True Hollywood Story” (9 p.m., E!). ● For the record, last week’s debut of “The Paul Reiser Show” (7:30 p.m., NBC) was the lowest-rated comedy premiere in the long history of NBC. For those who still want to check out this spectacularly unfunny sitcom, tonight’s episode revolves around a botched play date.

Tonight’s other highlights ● A singer goes home on “American Idol” (7 p.m., Fox). ● A local controversy over gas drilling and poisoned water leads to two murders on “CSI” (8 p.m., CBS). A pointed, if often heavy-handed, effort to educate viewers about the dangers of a loosely regulated process known as hydrofracturing. ● Michael tries to teach Deangelo (Will Ferrell) how to run the Dundee Awards on “The Office” (8 p.m., NBC). ● A treasure hunt takes Bones and Brennan to the Everglades on “Bones” (8 p.m., Fox). ● Leslie dabbles in online dating on “Parks and Recreation” (8:30 p.m., NBC). ● A jockey’s last ride on “The Mentalist” (9 p.m., CBS). ● The cast respond when the show faces cancellation on “30 Rock” (9 p.m., NBC). ● Scott Conant hosts “24 Hour Restaurant Battle” (9 p.m., Food).

Cult choice ● A thoughtful holdout (Henry Fonda) tries to change jurors’ minds in the 1957 drama “12 Angry Men” (7 p.m., TCM). A repeat of “Private Screenings” (9 p.m.) featuring an interview with director Sidney Lumet, who died last week.

Dear Annie: Nearly 20 years ago, I was convicted of drunken driving and given a year’s probation. My brother, “Joe,” immediately cut off all contact. I got treatment for my drinking problem and have been sober ever since.

I know Joe was hurt and embarrassed by what I did, and I would like to make amends. I have sent him Christmas and birthday cards wishing him well, but have never received a response. I was not invited to his wedding, and now I have a sisterin-law and two nephews I have never met.

My parents are in poor health, and I fear my next meeting with Joe will be at their funeral. Mom says I should wait for Joe to contact me, but since that has not happened, I feel I should make another effort to let him know I am sorry.

I want to bury the hatchet.
