More havoc from storms

Gas prices markedly higher in Lawrence

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

If you thought gasoline prices seemed higher in Lawrence than anywhere else in northeast Kansas, you are right.

Recently, Lawrence gasoline stations have been out of line with what their neighbors in Topeka and Kansas City are charging.

For proof, look at the average prices on Wednesday provided by AAA Kansas: ● Lawrence: $3.79 ● Topeka: $3.63 ● Kansas City, Kan.: $3.68 ● Wichita: $3.65 ● State average: $3.76 (as of Tuesday) “Lawrence is sticking out like a sore thumb,” said Jim Hanni, who is executive vice president of AAA Kansas and keeps a keen eye on gasoline prices across the state and country.

Hanni didn’t have an explanation for why Lawrence’s gas prices were higher — and neither Mike Illig/Special to the Journal-World

A FUNNEL CLOUD FORMS WEDNESDAY over Leawood near Interstate 435 and Mission Road. A series of thunderstorms led to tornadoes along the Missouri-Kansas border, sending Kansas City office workers scrambling for cover and damaging homes and businesses in Sedalia, Mo., to the east.

K.C. workers scramble for shelter “

Everybody was thinking about it. The whole company was on top of everything. It’s right there in your mind.

You’re thinking this could happen anywhere.

It’s not just Joplin.”

Lawrence residents took cover at their jobs Wednesday morning in the Kansas City area as tornado warnings were issued there, but no major damage was reported to the metropolitan area.

However, about 20 people were reported injured due to heavy tornado damage to the east in Sedalia, Mo. Clay Britton, an attorney at the Kansas City, Mo., firm Lathrop and Gage who works on the 23rd floor of a building in the Crown Center district, took shelter in a parking garage about 11:30 a.m.

Wednesday as tornado sirens sounded. An intercom announcement had encouraged employees to enter stairwells or head to the garage.

He said the tornado warnings put people on edge because of the outbreak of

— Lawrence resident Amanda Davis, who works in Overland Park deadly and damaging tornadoes in recent days, including an EF-5 tornado that killed more than 120 people Sunday evening in Joplin, Mo. “I think there’s a heightened sense of making sure you take every precaution after what happened in Joplin,” said Britton, a 28year-old Lawrence resident who has two Kansas University degrees.

Britton spent time in the parking garage checking in with his father and brother who work in the Country Club Plaza area to make sure they were taking shelter. He said fellow employees were constantly texting and calling family members as well.

Lawrence resident Amanda Davis, who works on the second floor of a Waddell and Reed firm building in Overland Park near Shawnee Mission Parkway and Lamar Avenue, said the skies outside didn’t appear to be that ominous when the sirens sounded.

But she and her co-workers took shelter anyway in a stairwell because most of them were thinking about the Joplin tornado.

Some tips for reducing costs Despite higher gasoline prices, more Americans plan to travel over the Memorial Day weekend than last year, according to AAA. In Lawrence, gasoline prices are averaging $3.79, which is $1.10 higher than a year ago.

To help ease the pain at the pump, here are some ways to save money on gas: ● Good driving often translates into better gas mileage. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, aggressive driving can lower your gas mileage by 33 percent on highways. Another good tip is to drive the speed limit. For every 5 miles per hour you drive faster than 60 miles per hour, it’s as though you are paying an extra 24 cents per gallon. ● Well-maintained cars lend themselves to better gas mileage. According to AAA, keeping a vehicle’s moving components lubricated and having an ignition and emission systems in good operating order aids in fuel efficiency.

Cars also should have properly inflated tires and regularly replaced air filters. ● Before you plan your trip, search for the cheapest gas prices along your route. On AAA’s website you can search for the best gas prices by city at discover.aaa.com/Outreach/ GasInfo. They also have a site that lets you calculate how much you will spend on gas during your trip, fuelcostcalculator.aaa.com.

Utility also cutting back trees along Kasold for maintenance

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Both below ground and above ground, Westar Energy has projects under way in Lawrence to cut down on the number of power outages in the city.

Chad Luce, manager of customer and community relations for Westar, confirmed Wednesday that crews have begun a significant repair job at Westar’s substation near Sixth and Kentucky streets, which feeds downtown and surrounding residential areas.

“We decided this is one that needs to be done to help with reliability,” Luce said.

The project comes after an underground cable at the substation caught on fire approximately two weeks ago and left about 5,300 customers in and around downtown without power temporarily.

Stefan Petrovic sat calm, even relaxed, as Hillary Clinton asked a question about a faraway land, a place she’d visited as the country’s top diplomat — and from a perspective the eighth-grader-tobe at South Middle School would someday like to share.

The 13-year-old, who plans to follow Clinton’s lead and someday serve as U.S. secretary of state, didn’t blink.

“I got that one right — something about South Korea,” Petrovic said Wednesday, while grabbing lunch at the National Geographic Society in Washington.

It wasn’t his only proper response, either.

Petrovic managed to answer enough questions about physical geography and culture and history and economics — you know, geography — to take third place in the National Geographic Bee, a competition that started months ago with more than 5 million students vying for a shot at a $25,000 college scholarship.

Petrovic found himself plenty content with his third-place finish, one step up from fourth place a year ago and enough to secure a $10,000 college scholarship. He’d outlasted seven of the other 10 finalists Wednesday, before bowing out by missing two questions: one about an

Daniel Hough Fisher Daniel Hough Fisher, Navy veteran, bioanalytical chemist, Masters swimmer and bison rancher, passed away on May 20, 2011. At the time of his death he was Disabled American Veterans Adjutant for the State of Kansas and Commander of the Jayhawk Chapter. Daniel was born October 18, 1951, the second of four children of Dr. James D. Fisher and Marguerite Bugbee Fisher.

He grew up in Longmeadow, MA and Vermont. While a college student, Daniel spent two summers in the Marine Corps Platoon Leaders Class program, but ultimately joined the Navy, where he served as electrical officer aboard a nuclear-powered fastattack submarine. He received the Navy Achievement Medal for his actions during a casualty to that vessel. After the Navy, Daniel earned a Ph.D. in Clinical Chemistry from Northeastern University.

He was a professor there for several years before moving to Kansas, working at KU and then in private industry. During all those years, he was an avid swimmer, placing 8th in the 200 Fly in his age group at US Masters Nationals in 1996. He was president of the Lawrence

The fire, which was contained inside a vault, damaged two other conductors.

Luce said the company decided after the event to undertake a larger project to replace six aging cables at the substation.

“This should really cut down on the chance of equipment failure being a problem at that substation,” Luce said.

The Topeka-based utility has had three significant power outages in Lawrence since late February, although not all have been equipmentrelated. At least one outage was the result of birds flying into a transformer.

Westar hopes to have the project completed in the next three weeks, and time is of the essence. Luce said the company is able to provide power to the downtown area from another substation currently, but if temperatures rise significantly and people start using their air condi-

“The questions I got wrong, I simply didn’t know.

I’m not going to sweat it,” he said by phone from the lunch line. “I’m just going to go back to the hotel and figure it out. … I use Google a lot.”

Oh, yes, Google: Petrovic sported a Google T-shirt during Tuesday’s preliminary rounds, a shout-out to none other than Brian McClendon, vice president for Google Earth and Maps.

McClendon, of course, grew up in Lawrence and graduated from Lawrence High School and Kansas University before moving on to become a leader in the Information Age. McClendon also happened to provide opening remarks to Wednesday’s finals, which would be moderated by “Jeopardy!” host Alex Trebek and include Clinton’s videotaped questions.

The Google executive enjoyed seeing a future Chesty Lion onstage, with a world of opportunities ahead.

Daniel’s four great loves were his family, his country, swimming, and the outdoors. His favorite saying was “Do it right once.” He expected a lot out of people but never more than he expected out of himself, and he had great compassion for those in need. As a 14-year cancer survivor and disabled veteran, he helped dozens of people struggling with health issues. He leaves behind his wife, Megan; three sons, Justin of Winchester, MA, Nathaniel of Boulder, CO, Ethan of the home; a daughter, Erin of the home; a brother, Don, of Amherst, MA; two sisters, Peggy Bissell, of Templeton, MA, and Elizabeth Fisher, of Mendon, VT; and his mother, of Baldwinville, MA. A memorial service will be held at 1 p.m., Tuesday, May 31, 2011, at Grace Evangelical Presbyterian Church, 3312 Calvin St., Lawrence, KS. Memorials to Northeastern University Swimming or the Disabled American Veterans are suggested in lieu of flowers.

tioners, it will be more difficult to power the downtown area from the other substation.

Luce said the project will involve putting a new power line beneath Sixth Street and into the alley that runs between the 600 blocks of New Hampshire and Massachusetts streets. But Luce said he was hopeful the project would not cause traffic delays.

A Westar project in west Lawrence is more likely to be noticed by members of the public. Crews hired by Westar currently are trimming trees near a major Westar transmission line that runs roughly along Kasold Drive from Peterson Road to the South Lawrence Trafficway.

The tree trimming is part of regular maintenance Westar does to prevent trees from growing too close to power lines.

“We want people to have an uninterrupted supply of power,” Luce said. “We want to control what we can control, and tree trimming is an example of something we can control.”

McClendon said. “He is incredibly smart, and he is very, very focused on what he wants to do. He wants to join the State Department and make a career.”

He may be on to something. Consider the question Clinton posed, and Petrovic answered.

“At a meeting in the capital city northwest of Busan, I discussed peace and security issues with this country’s northern neighbor,” Clinton said. “Give the number and name of the capital city northwest of Busan.”

Petrovic, looking up at a map on a screen with numbers assigned to corresponding locations, correctly answered, “Six, Seoul.”

Afterward, in the lunch line, Petrovic was proud to have aced that part of the test.

“I got that one right,” he said, then went on to eat.

GAS PRICES IN LAWRENCE on average are $3.79, which is 3 cents higher than the state average, as of Tuesday. Pictured above are gas prices at 23rd Street and Haskell Avenue.

did those in the industry.

“Each company has its own pricing scheme and how they do it,” said Tom Palace, executive director of Petroleum Marketers and Convenience Store Owners Association of Kansas.

“Lawrence is one of the more competitive areas in the state, so I don’t have an answer why it’s higher than some other areas,” Palace said.

The Lawrence JournalWorld made repeated attempts this week to contact representatives of the companies that own the most gasoline stations in Lawrence: Zarco 66, Kwik Shop and Presto. Those companies did not respond to our inquires.

We were able to talk to one company, QuickTrip. But company spokesman Mike Thornbrugh said he wasn’t sure what caused the

Luce said Westar does try to alert property owners to the trimmings.

Property owners generally have information hung on their doors one to two weeks in advance of crews cutting in the area.

The information includes a toll-free number for property owners to call Westar with questions.

Westar does have a legal right to conduct the trimmings — or even entirely cut down a tree — if it is near a power line. The utility has a series of easements that follow their power lines, which gives Westar the right to be on the property and do maintenance activities.

The area along Kasold Drive was last trimmed about four years ago, and Luce said he anticipates the trimming this time won’t be as heavy as it was then.

“I think there is a lot less growth for us to deal with,” he said.

The project is expected to take about 15 weeks.

Lawrence-specific price hike.

“Price is solely based on competition,” Thornbrugh said. “There can be a whole set of different circumstances from community to community.”

Both Thornbrugh and Palace said the prices could have something to do with the supply of gasoline. In the spring, oil refineries have to switch from producing winter blends of fuel to summer blends, which are intended to reduce smog.

Gasoline stations in communities that fall under Environmental Protection Agency guidelines — and need to get rid of winter blend fuels before summer regulations go into place — will drop prices, which could explain some of the difference, Thornbrugh said.

Lawrence does not fall under those guidelines.

And Palace was quick to point out that gas stations had the right to charge whatever they want, but it’s mostly driven by competition.

“Usually someone moves (the price down), and they all have to match it. If they don’t match it, they lose business,” he said.

While Hanni couldn’t explain the irregularity in Lawrence gas prices, he did have good news about where the prices might head.

A combination of lower gas consumption, oil refineries completing the shift to summer blends and a strong dollar in Europe could cause gas prices to stabilize.

Analysts at AAA see gas prices shying away from the $4 a gallon mark and settling into a range of $3.25 to $3.75 a gallon throughout the country.

Of course, that prediction hinges on good weather and relative stability in the Middle East.

“There are always caveats and so many factors,” Hanni said.

Obama: No ‘letup’ in offensive in Libya Firmly united against Moammar Gadhafi, President Barack Obama and Prime Minister David Cameron promised on Wednesday a relentless and punishing pummeling of his forces in Libya but also pleaded for patience for an effort with no clear end in sight. Obama ruled out a deadline for ending NATO’s military assault, saying only that it would be over “in a timely fashion.”

“Gadhafi and his regime need to understand that there will not be a letup in the pressure that we are applying,” Obama said, even as Libyan rebels clashed with mercenaries fighting for Gadhafi and less than a day after NATO intensified its bombardment of the Libyan capital. Britain’s leader, hosting a news conference with Obama, said the two agreed on a need to “be turning up the heat in Libya.”

City crime rates down in 2010

By Shaun Hittle sdhittle@ljworld.com

Last year, Lawrence followed the national trend of fewer incidents of crime, according to the FBI’s annual Uniform Crime Report, released Monday.

Violent crime, which includes rape, murder, robbery and assault, dropped in Lawrence by 6.6 percent and 5.5 percent nationally

between 2009 and 2010.

Property crimes reported in Lawrence dropped 8.8 percent from 2009 to 2010, compared with a 2.8 percent decrease nationally.

Here’s a summary of the change from 2009 to 2010, provided by Lawrence police: ● Overall violent crimes dropped from 424 to 396. ● Rapes decreased from 57 to 47.

● Robberies decreased significantly from 76 to 56. ● 2010 was the second consecutive year without a murder in Lawrence.

Uniform Crime Reports are compiled from information submitted by local law enforcement agencies and only reflect crimes reported to police.

Egypt to open crossing permanently Egypt’s decision Wednesday to end its blockade of Gaza by opening the only crossing to the Hamasruled Palestinian territory this weekend could ease the isolation of 1.4 million Palestinians there. It also puts the new Egyptian regime at odds with Israel, which insists on careful monitoring of people and goods entering Gaza for security reasons.

The Rafah crossing will be open permanently starting Saturday, Egypt’s official Middle East News Agency announced. That would provide Gaza Palestinians their first open border to the world in four years, since Egypt and Israel slammed their crossings shut after the Islamic militant Hamas overran the Gaza Strip in 2007.

During the closure, Egypt sometimes opened its border to allow Palestinians through for special reasons such as education or medical treatment. But with Israel severely restricting movement of Palestinians through its Erez crossing in northern Gaza, residents there were virtual prisoners.

President Saleh vows no retreat Yemen’s embattled President Ali Abdullah Saleh vowed Wednesday he would not step down or allow his impoverished nation to become a “failed state” even as urban combat between government troops and armed tribesmen engulfed parts of the capital.

Both sides raised the specter of civil war as the three-day death toll rose to at least 69. The latest violence comes just days after a failed Arab mediation effort to end the three-month uprising and ease Saleh from power.

After nightfall, residents reported heavy shelling that appeared to come from outside the city, targeting residential areas. The crackle of heavy gunfire could be heard in different parts of the city.

In the Arhab region about 20 miles northwest of Sanaa, a brigade of Saleh’s presidential guard clashed with local tribesmen — showing that the fighting was spreading outside the capital.

which would meet with the FDA to determine further requirements and specifications needed to take it to the marketplace.

The partnership allows each agency to leverage their strengths, Weir said: ● The NIH did the basic science that led to the discovery of auranofin’s potential as a cancer-fighting drug. ● The KU Cancer Center has extensive experience with drug development and discovery. ● The LLS will provide expertise in the blood cancer area and has active collaborations and connections in the pharmaceutical industry.

Funding for the project comes from the Kansas Bioscience Authority and the NIH, which both contributed $500,000 to the effort. LLS and KU added an additional $250,000 in philanthropic support.

“This is a perfect fit for our investment strategy,” said Brad Kemp, project director, Cancer Fighting Cures, for the Kansas

Bioscience Authority.

The bulk of the collaborative work, he said, would be done in Kansas.

The NIH will also, on top of their direct funding, operate one of three clinical trials associated with the drug tests.

KU and LLS have collaborated before on clinical trials associated with a topical antifungal agent with cancer-f ighting potential. That collaboration was so productive, said Louis DeGennaro, executive vice president and chief mission officer for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, that the two decided to collaborate again.

The new partnership could reach beyond the current auranofin trial, he said.

“This can be a long-standing collaboration with multiple projects over an extended time period,” he said.

The United States has told Germany that evidence pulled from Osama bin Laden’s hideout shows the terror chief was linked to a plot to attack targets in Europe last year, a senior German official told The Associated Press on Wednesday.

Two U.S. officials also told the AP that bin Laden had advised Europe-based militants to attack in unspecified mainland European countries just before Christmas. The officials offered no details.

Separately, bin Laden encouraged multiple attacks on Danish targets because of disparaging references to the Muslim prophet Mohammed in Danish media, the U.S. officials said.

T O P E K A — An initiative to increase the number of engineering graduates in Kansas, which had been dramatically resuscitated at the end of the legislative session, was given final approval Wednesday by Gov. Sam Brownback.

“This is a great day,” Kansas University Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said after Brownback signed two highereducation engineering bills. “I’m happy to see us get to this point.”

One bill authorizes KU to issue $65 million in bonds to build a 100,000square-foot Gray-Little engineering classroom building next door to a $20 million engineering research building that is currently under construction.

The other Brownback bill allows KU, Kansas State and Wichita State each to receive $3.5 million annually from state gambling revenues. The funds, which must be matched by the schools, will be used to beef up engineering programs.

Senate President Steve Morris, R-Hugoton, called the initiative a “jobs bill” that would help cure an engineering shortage.

As early as 2008, higher education and industry officials had been pushing for funds to help achieve a goal of increasing the number of engineering graduates in the state from 875 per year to 1,365 per year by 2021.

“In a session marked with many tough choices, this initiative is a choice I am proud to make — a choice to get our state Please see ENGINEERING, page 6A ● Brownback signs bill to

law says the changes designed to close the longterm KPERS shortfall won’t take effect until the recommendations are considered.

The new law raises the state’s annual contribution by about $15 million in July 2013, according to KPERS and legislative researchers. The increase will continue to ramp until July 2017, and phasing into to $95 million, according to new estimates that assume a growing employee payroll.

The law also directs the state to identify surplus real estate and sell it when possible, with 80 percent of the money raised going to close the KPERS funding gap.

“This will be a big load for the state, but it’s absolutely necessary for us to do that,” said Senate President Steve Morris, a Hugoton Republican.

Starting in 2014, most teachers and government workers would be forced to choose between paying a higher percentage of their salaries into KPERS or seeing cuts in future benefits. Others, hired after June 2009, would be forced to choose between different cuts in future benefits.

Residents share stories from the broken heart of Joplin

By Allen G. Breed Associated Press Writer

J O P L I N , M O . — Standing amid the ruins of what had been a Goodyear service center, Robert Alves turns in place to take a grim inventory.

That twisted pile next door, he says, was a Jiffy Lube.

The shell out back there, a sporting goods store. Over there was a Pizza Hut. And that massive heap across 20th Street used to be the Home Depot.

“Lots of used-to-be’s around here,” the 36-year-old mechanic says. “ALL used-to-be’s.”

Even harder to identify is what will be.

The tornado that tore through Joplin Sunday essentially bifurcated this city of 50,000, carving a west-to-east path up to a mile wide that almost beggars description.

“Think about a lawnmower, taking the biggest lawnmower, and just mowing everything down,” says Heather Marsh, whose house was in the shadow of the shattered St. John’s Regional Medical Center. “It truly makes you feel how insignificant (life) really is. You feel so small and helpless.”

Before Sunday, the former mining boomtown was perhaps best known — if known at all to many Americans — as a sometime home base for

outlaws Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, and as a stop along Historic Route 66. Now, it is the site of the nation’s eighth-deadliest tornado.

At least 125 are dead, and possibly hundreds remain unaccounted for. More than 900 were injured.

On Wednesday, arduous rescue and recovery work went on, with crews repeating grid searches that started immediately after the storm.

No new survivors were pulled from wreckage of the city’s neighborhoods, but officials said after checking some areas for a fourth time that they planned a f ifth sweep. Leaders of St. John’s sent in structural engineers to see if the hospital could be saved.

“It truly was like a bomb went off almost on every floor,” said Gary Pulsipher, the hospital’s chief executive. ●●●

The storm tore random chunks out of Cedar Ridge and nearby Sunset Ridge. There, houses are still identifiable as

houses. Neighborhoods still look like neighborhoods.

Trees still had their foliage and bark.

But as it headed east, the twister apparently developed a focus and, jogging slightly north, grew into a monster roughly a mile wide.

Across 26th Street from St. John’s Regional Medical Center, Heather Marsh was taking a nap while her 8-year-old son, Hayden, played video games on his Wii. When she heard the sirens, the 31-yearold single mother didn’t think much of it; they went off all the time, and nothing ever came of it.

When they stopped suddenly, she figured it was a false alarm. Then her phone rang.

“Get in the tub!” her mother, Vivian Fannin, was shouting. “Get in the tub!”

Lightning flashed. Then the sirens began sounding again, louder than she’d ever heard them before.

She gave Hayden a handheld video game, tossed some pillows and blankets into the bathtub and told him to climb in. She grabbed their 3-year-

old boxer-pug mix, Poppie, and climbed in after him. But as much as she pleaded, the family’s black-and-white cat, Charizard, simply stared at them from bathroom door.

(The cat has not been found.)

Suddenly, the little “crackerbox” house she was buying from her parents collapsed around them.

With Hayden between her legs and a board wedged against her neck, Marsh began texting everyone in her cellphone’s address book.

“We’re trapped,” she punched. “Help us.”

When they heard the sounds of people outside, Marsh and Hayden began screaming.

Guided by the light from her phone, men dug mother, son and dog from the wreckage.

“And this sweet breath of air came to us,” Marsh remembers. “And I just breathed in as deep as I could.”

She emerged into what had been her living room and surveyed the ravaged landscape.

The only identifiable landmark for miles was the blownout, windowless hulk of St. John’s.

LJWorld.com to host chat with Westar From smart meters to power outages, Westar Energy has been in the news quite a bit lately. At 10 a.m. June 1, Westar representatives will take your questions during an online chat.

Among the topics they are eager to talk about are two energy-saving programs: SmartStar and WattSaver. Both programs have the potential to change the way customers consume energy.

Here’s the latest on the two programs. ● This summer, Westar will be installing about 40,000 smart meters throughout Lawrence as part of the SmartStar program. These meters will allow customers to go online and monitor their energy usage by the hour.

Westar has already put 1,500 meters in place as part of a pilot project in the Deerfield neighborhood. This week, those customers were able to go online and begin to monitor their energy usage. ● In the past couple of weeks, Westar has stepped up its marketing efforts on the WattSaver program. For free, Westar will install a programmable thermostat in your home.

In the past, readers have had plenty of questions about both programs, so we anticipate many more. They can be submitted at LJWorld.com/chats.

back on the road to job creation and economic recovery,” Morris said.

But the initiative faced uncertain odds late in the legislative session.

The Senate had approved a version of a bill that would have allowed $195 million in loans for engineering programs.

The House balked at the price so the bill sat in committee for weeks.

But as the session wound down, negotiators hammered out a compromise and signed it May 13, the last day of the session.

Brownback was adamant that the Department of Commerce provide oversight for the initiative, rather than the Kansas Board of Regents, which oversees higher education. Brownback said the Commerce Department was better matched toward making sure the funding commitment produced jobs.

The bonding provision included only KU because the school was ready to push forward with its building plans.

“This is something we’ve been working on for quite a long period of time,” Gray-Little said.

Disaster Forecasts, TV, luck eased tornado risk in Okla. relief groups scramble to cope

By Kristi Eaton and Chuck Bartels

Associated Press Writers

By David Crary Associated Press Writer

Confronted with an unprecedented string of tornadoes, floods and wildfires, the American Red Cross and other relief groups are scrambling to raise money fast enough to meet the demand for help.

“The disasters just keep coming,” said Red Cross spokesman Roger Lowe, reporting that the organization has spent $41 million thus far responding to the seven-week onslaught while raising $33.6 million to cover the costs.

Those figures were tallied before the latest violent storm system rampaged through a wide swath of the Midwest starting late Tuesday.

No single one of the recent disasters — not even the cataclysmic tornado in Joplin, Mo., on Sunday — poses a challenge on the scale that the Red Cross confronted after Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

However, Red Cross officials said the period that began March 31 is unique in their memory for the sheer number of major natural disasters in such a short span.

During that period, the Red Cross has launched 29 separate relief operations in 22 states, responding to wildfires in Texas, flooding along swollen rivers, and the rash of tornadoes that have killed more than 500 people. More than 9,200 Red Cross disasterresponders have been deployed; they’ve served more than 2.1 million meals and snacks and opened more than 200 shelters.

Lowe said costs are running high in part because of the long-term effects of many of these home-destroying disasters. For example, he said 93 people were still living in Red Cross shelters in Alabama, where tornadoes wrecked their homes a month ago.

“The public truly has been very generous, but the series of tornadoes and floods is really stretching our resources,” Lowe said. “The fundraising is not keeping up with our extended needs, and we don’t know how long we need to be providing shelter, food, mental health assistance.”

So far, Lowe said, the Red Cross has been able to meet essential needs despite the gap between expenses and fundraising. One reason is the charity’s Annual Disaster Giving Program, involving 28 companies that collectively donate more than $15 million a year so that the money is in place for immediate disaster response.

Aside from government entities, the Red Cross is by far the largest U.S. disasterrelief organization, but many other national and local groups also are facing fundraising challenges as they respond to the recent calamities.

“We are really struggling,” said Roger Conner, spokesman for Catholic Charities USA. “We’ve not seen this number and extent of spring storms in 40 years ... and we just don’t have the outpouring of donations we would like. The need is huge.”

Through mid-May — before the Joplin tornado — Catholic Charities had received about $300,000 for the spring disasters, which Conner described as very low.

He noted that the charity raised $2 million in the same timespan after hurricanes Gustav and Ike in 2008.

The Salvation Army said it raised $7.7 million in response to the tornadoes in the South in April but doesn’t have an updated figure to account for this month’s disasters. By comparison, it raised $382 million for Katrina relief efforts.

The Southern Baptist Convention’s North American Mission Board, which engages in disaster relief, said it has raised only about $100,000 thus far for tornado relief work in a half-dozen states.

PIEDMONT , O KLA . — When three tornadoes marched toward Oklahoma City and its suburbs, thousands of people in the path benefited from good forecasts, luck and live television to avoid the kind of catastrophe that befell Tuscaloosa, Ala., and Joplin, Mo. Although at least 15 people died in the latest round of violent weather that started Tuesday, schools and offices closed early, giving many families plenty of time to take shelter. And even stragglers were able to get to safety at the last minute because TV forecasters narrated the twisters’ every turn.

“We live in Oklahoma, and we don’t mess around,” Lori Jenkins of Guthrie said after emerging from a neighbor’s storm shelter to find her carport crumpled and her home damaged.

The people of Oklahoma City, which has been struck by more tornadoes than any

other U.S. city, knew the storms were coming.

Anxiety was perhaps running higher than usual Tuesday after last month’s twister outbreak in the South that killed more than 300 people and a Sunday storm that killed at least 125 in Joplin, Mo. The Oklahoma twisters proved to be weaker than the other tornadoes. But the minute-by-minute accounts of the developing weather helped thousands of people stay abreast of the danger.

Television helicopters broadcast live footage while the system approached the metropolitan area of 1.2 million people — calling out to specific communities like Piedmont to “Take cover now!”

In Guthrie, about 30 miles north of the capital city, Ron Brooks was watching when he learned that a tornado was barreling toward him. He heeded the weatherman’s warning, scooped up his two children and took cover with his wife in their laundry room.

“When they told us to get into the shelter or interior room, we did that,” Brooks said. “The first year I moved to Oklahoma, in 1997, I saw a funnel drop out of a wall cloud. Since seeing one, I’ve always taken it pretty seriously.” He emerged 20 minutes later, relieved to learn that the tornado passed just north of his home.

Another line of severe storms swept through the nation’s midsection Wednesday, mainly east of Oklahoma. A tornado warning was briefly issued for downtown Kansas City, Mo., and at least two weak tornadoes touched down in or near the suburbs.

A few others were reported in Illinois. The storms moved later into Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee.

Rescue and recovery work continued, with crews repeating grid searches for any survivors who might still be buried in rubble. Structural engineers were sent inside the ruins of St. John’s Medical Center, which was crippled by the twister, to see if the

hospital could be saved.

Back in the Oklahoma City area, at least nine people were killed, despite broadcasters offering live coverage of the storms for two hours before the bad weather actually hit around the evening rush hour.

Across the border in Arkansas, people in the tiny hamlet of Denning didn’t have the luxury of an early warning. A tornado killed at least one person there.

Storms left three others dead elsewhere in Arkansas and killed two in Kansas.

The storms arrived in Denning in the darkness, with a warning posted only about 10 minutes before a tornado nearly obliterated the town of 270 shortly after midnight.

Oklahoma City has been hit by tornadoes 146 times, according to the federal government’s Storm Prediction Center. That history brings respect for severe storms and a simple rule for people who find themselves in a twister’s path: Get out of the way or get underground.

Powerful storms pound central U.S. ST. LOUIS — Powerful storms roared through middle America again on Wednesday, with weak tornadoes touching down in isolated spots and severe thunderstorms threatening such strikes in several states.

The National Weather Service issued tornado watches and a series of warnings in a dozen states, stretching northeast from Texas though the Mississippi River valley to Ohio.

“Everybody’s working as fast and furious as possible,” said Beverly Poole, the chief meteorologist at the National Weather Service’s office in Paducah, Ky., which covers southeastern Missouri and southern Illinois. “This is just a wild ride.”

There were no immediate reports of deaths from the new round of storms, though authorities reported dozens of minor injuries following brief tornado touchdowns in Missouri and Indiana.

Heavy rain, hail and lightning pounded Memphis on Wednesday night as a tornado warning sounded. Menacing clouds showed some rotation, but there were no confirmed reports of tornadoes touching down.

Shooting suspect deemed mentally incompetent

By Jacques Billeaud Associated Press Writer

TUCSON , A RIZ . — The man accused of wounding Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in a deadly rampage lowered his head to within inches of the courtroom table Wednesday. When he lifted it, he began yelling, angry and loud.

Federal marshals had to drag Jared Lee Loughner out of the packed federal courtroom. Minutes later, he was in a nearby room and, over a closed-circuit TV, could watch as U.S. District Judge Larry Burns declared him incompetent to stand trial.

Mental health experts concluded that the 22-year-old college dropout suffers from schizophrenia.

Burns ordered Loughner to a federal facility in Missouri for up to four months, where doctors will try to give him enough treatment to bring him to a point where he understands the case against him.

“You don’t have to be a psychiatrist to know that the boy is disturbed,” said Eric Fuller, who was shot in the knee and the back during the Jan. 8 shooting spree at a Giffords event outside a Tucson, Ariz., supermarket.

Fuller said he wouldn’t be bothered if Loughner spends the rest of his life in a mental health facility.

“Hinckley has been gone for forever,” Fuller said, referring to John Hinckley Jr., who tried to assassinate President Ronald Reagan 30 years ago and has since been committed to a psychiatric hospital.

Loughner spent five weeks in March and April at the federal facility in Springfield, Mo., where he was examined by psychologist Christina Pietz and psychiatrist Matthew Carroll. The two were asked to determine if Loughner understands the consequences of the case.

Burns viewed 18 hours of the experts’ videotaped interviews with Loughner. He said the experts’ reports and videos were confidential, but he summarized their findings at the hearing.

The judge said Carroll concluded Loughner’s mental health has declined in the past two or three years and his thinking on legal issues is confused. Carroll believes Loughner doesn’t grasp the gravity of the charges and is instead fixated on inconsequential issues.

Pietz concluded that Loughner’s thoughts are random and that he suffers from delusions, the judge said. She noted Loughner gave nonsensical answers to questions and doesn’t understand the role of judges or jurors.

Neither expert thought Loughner was faking his mental health problems, with one of the therapists saying Loughner doesn’t want to be perceived as mentally ill. A hearing to revisit Loughner’s mental competency is set for Sept. 21.

Loughner has pleaded not guilty to 49 federal charges stemming from the shooting, which wounded Giffords and 12 others and killed six people, including a 9-year-old girl and a federal judge.

Loughner was calm at the beginning of Wednesday’s hearing, tilting his head and swaying back and forth.

Later, he lowered his head, lifted it and began to speak, interrupting the proceedings.

His words were loud but difficult to make out. He said what sounded like: “Thank you for the freak show. She died in front of me.” Some reporters also heard him say what sounded like “You’re treasonous.”

The AP has asked the court clerk’s office for an official transcript and recording of the hearing.

Following the outburst, two marshals standing behind Loughner’s chair grabbed him by each arm and led him from the courtroom. Loughner’s father, sitting a few rows behind him, lowered his eyes and huddled with two women.

Obama to world: West leadership role still strong

By Nancy Benac

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA and Britain’s Prime Minister David Cameron arrive Wednesday for a joint news conference at Lancaster House in London.

Associated Press Writer

LONDON — Offering reassurance and resolve, President Barack Obama stood in the historic grandeur of Westminster Hall and served notice to England and the world that the growing influence of countries like China, India and Brazil in no way dictates a diminished global role for America and its European allies.

“The time for our leadership is now,” Obama declared to members of Parliament, who for the first time gave an American president the honor of addressing them from the 900year-old hall where great and gruesome moments in British history have played out.

“If we fail to meet that responsibility, who would take our place, and what kind of world would we pass on?” the president asked.

Tracing an arc from the allied soldiers who fought on the beaches of Normandy to the NATO-backed rebels now fighting in Benghazi, Libya, Obama argued that only the Western allies have the might

and fortitude to promote and defend democracy around the globe.

Obama’s message that U.S. and Europe remain vital on the world stage is one he is sure to carry with him as he heads next to Deauville, France, for a two-day summit of the world’s top industrial nations. In addition to pressing economic matters, leaders will focus there, too, on how to support democracy in the Middle East and North Africa in a time of upheaval and economic strains.

In London, Obama urged patience in Libya and with

the ongoing war in Afghanistan. He also renewed his determination to push for peace in the Middle East and voiced confidence that democratic stirrings ultimately would prevail there and in North Africa as Western allies stand fast.

Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi and his regime “need to understand that there will not be a let-up in the pressure that we are applying,” Obama said at a news conference with British Prime Minister David Cameron earlier in the day. “I think we will ultimately be successful.”

Obama’s vision of a relevant and revitalized U.S.European partnership was a welcome message for Western allies who at times have displayed nervousness that the president has focused on the growing influence of Asia at their expense.

“It was wonderful to have the president here offering such a clear and unambiguous reaff irmation of our relationship,” said British Education Secretary Michael Gove, a key ally of Cameron.

Opposition Labor Party legislator Rachel Reeves tweeted after the 35-minute speech: “Feeling uplifted and proud.”

Addressing British lawmakers in an august setting, Obama leavened the formality of the occasion by speaking with warmth and humor, and his remarks went over well.

He spoke of the inspiration that “rabble-rousing” American colonists drew from their English forebears and invoked revered British leader Winston Churchill not once, but five times. Taking

note that Westminster Hall’s previous speakers had been the queen, the pope and Nelson Mandela, Obama joked that that trio represented “either a very high bar or the beginning of a very funny joke.”

The president marveled that he stood before the lawmakers as “the grandson of a Kenyan who served as a cook in the British Army.”

Mindful of the economic concerns that are predominant both in the United States and Europe, Obama argued that rather than fear Asia’s rising influence, “we should welcome this development, for it has lifted hundreds of millions from poverty around the globe, and created new markets and opportunities for our own nations.”

The president will now pivot to the Group of Eight meeting in France, where leaders will discuss ways they can financially support the fledgling democratic transitions in Tunisia and Egypt, and create incentives for other countries in the region to also seek greater freedom.

The Kansas Scenic Byways program gives drivers and cyclists all the guidance they need to enjoy some of Kansas’ most majestic, historical and just plain accessible roadside features.

Winfrey finale devoted to fans

By Caryn Rousseau

OPRAH WINFREY WAVES as her show is taped for the last time Tuesday in Chicago.

The show, which aired Wednesday, was all about the one thing that made her a billion-dollar success: the unique connection she made with millions of viewers for 25 years.

Associated Press Writer

CHICAGO — There were no free cars or vacations. No favorite things or makeovers.

No celebrity guests on stage — though there were plenty in the audience.

The finale of Oprah Winfrey’s talk show, taped Tuesday and aired Wednesday, was all about the one thing that made her a billion-dollar success: the unique connection she made with millions of viewers for 25 years. In what she called her “love letter” to fans, she made clear that to her, all those TV friendships went both ways.

“Something in me connected with each of you in a way that allowed me to see myself in you and you in me,” Winfrey said. “I listened and grew, and I know you grew along with me.”

Winfrey was the only person on stage with little background music and short flashback clips. The show went to commercials with “TwentyFive Years,” a soft song that musician Paul Simon wrote and recorded for her.

She called fans her “safe harbor” and became teary eyed when reflecting on her upbringing in rural Mississippi.

“It is no coincidence that a lonely little girl,” Winfrey said, choking up, “who felt not a lot of love, even though my parents and grandparents did the best they could, it is no coincidence that I grew up to feel a genuine kindness, affection, trust and validation from millions of you all over the world.”

Winfrey told viewers that sometimes she was a teacher, but more often her viewers instructed her.

She called Wednesday’s episode her “last class from this stage.”

At one point she thanked viewers for sharing her “yellow brick road of blessings” — something she said back in November 2009, when she announced that she would end her show. The program gave rise to a media empire, including a magazine and Winfrey’s own cable network, which she launched in January.

Wednesday’s show was the last piece of a months-long sendoff, but as the hour wrapped up, Winfrey stopped short of saying farewell.

“I won’t say goodbye. I’ll just say, until we meet again,” she said.

She hugged and kissed her longtime partner Stedman Graham and shook hands with audience members before walking through the halls of Harpo Studios in Chicago, hugging and crying with her staff. She shouted, “We did it!”

The last shot of the finale showed Winfrey walking away with her cocker spaniel, Sadie.

Some fans across the country had parties for the finale.

Sharon Evans, 53, of Chicago had pancakes with her mother and girlfriends.

“She was very subdued today and I appreciated that she was taking that last hour not to showcase any celebrities or favorite things,” Evans said. “It was truly what she said, a love letter to us.”

Amy Korin, 32, of Chicago, was in the studio audience when the show taped on Tuesday. She described Winfrey’s monologue as having the feeling of a graduation commencement speech. “It was just amazing to witness,” she said.

Celebrities in the audience included Tyler Perry, Maria Shriver, Suze Orman and Cicely Tyson. None of them joined Winfrey on stage.

A week earlier, Hollywood A-listers and 13,000 fans bid Winfrey farewell in a doubleepisode extravaganza at Chicago’s United Center.

In the bare-bones final taping there were just 404 audience members, according to Harpo Productions. The show received 1.4 million ticket requests throughout its final season, the company said.

Winfrey became famous over the decades for landing hard-to-get celebrity interviews and her annual giveaway shows, where she bestowed audience members with such stunning gifts as cars and Australian vacations.

Twitter buys TweetDeck NEW YORK (AP) — Twitter has bought TweetDeck, a London-based startup that helps people read, write and organize the short messages posted on the online network — and will keep the service going.

Twitter is not giving financial terms, though published reports have pegged the price at around $40 million to $50 million. The San Francisco company said in a blog post Wednesday that the TweetDeck team of 15 has joined Twitter. TweetDeck will continue to be based in London and its users, many of whom are Twitter’s so-called “powerusers,” will continue to be able to use the application.

Founded in 2008, TweetDeck lets Twitter users organize the brands, celebrities, news feeds and people they “follow” on the short messaging platform. Users can also monitor their Facebook, LinkedIn and other social media accounts.

Analysts said the deal makes sense. TweetDeck has “some great technology” and a lot of loyal users, said Wedbush Morgan’s Lou Kerner. It’s not just the quantity, though, but the quality of those users that matters. Twitter’s most elite, most frequent contributors are on TweetDeck, said Debra Aho Williamson, principal analyst at research firm eMarketer.

Lifesaving act Traffic statistics make a strong case for wearing your seat belt.

K

ansas law enforcement officers are in the middle of delivering a timely reminder that wearing seat belts not only saves lives; it’s required by law.

The “Click It Or Ticket” campaign started Monday and will run through June 5. During that time, about 150 Kansas law enforcement agencies plan to step up enforcement of the state’s seat-belt laws.

It’s been almost a year since the state’s new law went into effect making not wearing a seat belt a primary offense, meaning officers now can pull someone over simply for not using a seat belt. When seat-belt violations were only secondary offenses, officers could issue a ticket but only if they had some other reason to stop a motorist in the first place.

Already, the numbers show the new law may be saving lives.

In a report on seat-belt usage supplied by the Kansas Department of Transportation, it appears the new law had an immediate impact. The annual survey of seat-belt usage is taken in June and July. In 2008 and 2009, 77 percent of Kansans reportedly were wearing seat belts; in 2010, that number rose to 82 percent. The new primary seat-belt law went into effect on June 30, 2010, right in the middle of the 2010 count.

Even more important is the decline in the number of traffic deaths. Through May 23, the state had recorded 106 traffic fatalities this year. That number still is too high, but it is well behind the pace of 2010, when the state had a total of 385 traffic deaths.

There is no question that wearing a seat belt reduces the chances of injury or death in case of a traffic accident. Nonetheless, legally requiring Kansans to “click it” provides the added incentive many of us needed to develop the seat-belt habit.

The upcoming three-day Memorial Day weekend will find many Kansans on the road.

The increased enforcement that will span that period will provide a good reminder of the state’s seat-belt laws — and probably save some lives.

Stagnant economy may doom Obama W A S H I N G T O N — Asked three weeks ago if he would like to run for president, Mitch Daniels replied, “What sane person would like to?”

His decision against running, following Haley Barbour’s and Mike Huckabee’s decisions, illuminates a political asymmetry: Liberals think government, and hence politics, should be life’s epicenter; conservatives do not.

Days before Daniels decided not to sacrifice his family’s happiness for politics, he was asked about possible running mates. He said he would like to pick Condoleezza Rice, who happens to favor abortion rights. This quickened fears that he is indifferent to social issues important to the Republican nominating electorate, and that he might restore Bush administration persons and policies. A Daniels candidacy would have been difficult.

Daniels was mentioned, as Mitt Romney is, as the choice of the Republican “establishment.”

It, however, died even before its bulletin board, the New York Herald Tribune, did in 1966. The establishment was interred in 1964, when Barry Goldwater was nominated.

Today, South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint is the closest approximation of a Republican kingmaker, because since 1980 the candidate who has carried his state has won the nomination, and because the tea party trusts him. In 2008, he supported Romney. Two months ago, according to what The Hill newspaper calls “a source close to DeMint,” the senator would “never consider” doing so again

“

Today, South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint is the closest approximation of a Republican kingmaker, because since 1980 the candidate who has carried his state has won the nomination, and because the tea party trusts him.” unless Romney renounced his Massachusetts health care law as “a colossal mistake.” Subsequently, Romney decided to do the opposite.

Daniels’ and Romney’s decisions have made May an accelerating month for Tim Pawlenty, former two-term governor of the only state to vote Democratic in nine consecutive presidential elections — arguably the most conservative governor in Minnesota’s history.

To make the most of his momentum he should stop criticizing Barack Obama’s Libyan intervention as insufficiently ambitious. Sounding like a dime store Teddy Roosevelt (the real TR was bad enough), Pawlenty

recently told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, “I would tell Gadhafi he’s got X number of days to get his affairs in order and go or we’re going to go get him.”

Such chest-thumping bluster is not presidential, and is not Pawlenty’s real persona. He actually is a temperate Midwesterner, socially and fiscally conservative. He is, as were almost half the participants in the 2008 Republican nominating events, an evangelical Christian, well-positioned to inherit much of this cohort, which made Huckabee the winner of Iowa’s 2008 caucuses.

The nomination is well worth winning. Alex Castellanos, an astute Republican consultant, notes (in The Daily Caller) that in 2008, Obama “held the best hand of cards” dealt to a candidate in living memory — a discredited GOP, a too-familiar 72year-old opponent, an economic meltdown and, especially, George W. Bush: Obama won all, but only, states where Bush’s favorable rating was below 35 percent. Still, even then, when Obama was a relatively blank slate, he won only 53 percent of the popular vote. He cannot be a novelty and the nation’s Rorschach test twice.

There are many paths to 270 Republican electoral votes. Of the 10 states that will lose electoral votes because of the 2010 census, Obama carried eight in 2008. The states John McCain carried then had 173 electoral votes and now have 180. A Republican nominee who holds those and adds Florida, Ohio,

North Carolina, Indiana, Virginia and Nevada has 272 electoral votes.

In Pennsylvania, which has voted Democratic in five consecutive presidential elections, a late-April Quinnipiac poll showed independents disapproving of Obama’s job performance by a 20-point margin, 57-to37, with a majority of Pennsylvanians saying he did not deserve re-election. If he loses Pennsylvania, where Republicans gained five House seats last year, he is unlikely to win Ohio — Republicans also gained five seats there — or a second term.

June will be the 762nd month since January 1948, when the Bureau of Labor Statistics began calculating the unemployment rate. And June will be the 68th month since 1948 with the rate at 8 percent or higher — the 29th such month under Obama. So 43 percent of the most severe unemployment in the last 63 years has occurred in the last two and half years. No postwar president has sought re-election with 8 percent unemployment.

The recession ended in June 2009, yet a late-April Gallup poll showed 55 percent of Americans describing the economy as in a recession or depression. Hence 78 percent are dissatisfied with the country’s direction.

In 1960, candidate John Kennedy’s mantra was, “I think we can do better.” In 2012, a Republican can win by re-casting that as a question: “Is this the best we can do?”

Extremists are the real threat So, it turns out Islam is a religion. Imagine that.

Granted, this would be considered self-evident by most of us, but it has been a matter of great controversy in the Tennessee town of Murfreesboro, where 17 people went to court last year to prevent a group of Muslims from building a mosque. On their own land.

The need to defend this fundamental right was only one of the ordeals visited upon the Muslims of Murfreesboro, who have also faced threats, vandalism and arson. As recently, vividly illustrated in “Unwelcome: The Muslims Next Door,” a troubling CNN documentary, the antagonists here are a clownish band of bigots scared witless by the prospect that a new mosque will be built in their community by a congregation that has already worshipped in said community for 30 years.

Seriously. You can’t make this stuff up.

The 17 had contended Muslims have no constitutional freedom to worship because Islam is not a religion. So the statement at the top of this column represents not just self-evident truth, but an actual ruling last week by an actual judge in an actual court. Again: seriously. Chancellor Robert Corlew, the aforementioned actual judge, was obliged to verify that Islam — which has survived 14 centuries, and claims a billion and a half adherents — is a religion.

As reported in the Daily News Journal of Murfreesboro, in throw-

behind barbed wire.

My point is explicitly not that Muslims face mass vandalism, genocide or internment. Lord only knows what they face. Rather, my point is that the psychological architecture of what happened then is identical to the psychological architecture of Murfreesboro now. Once again, we see people goaded by their own night terrors, hatreds, need for scapegoats, and by the repetitive booming of demagogues, until they go to a place beyond reason.

And in that place inevitably lies a dark night of malice, destruction and awful deeds that seem like good ideas at the time. When it passes, like a fever, we — the doers and those who simply observe — are left shivering in a cold dawn as reason reasserts itself, wondering how barbarism overtook us, what broke loose inside us, and vowing that it will never happen again.

Never again.

Me, I don’t fear Muslims. I fear Muslim extremists. I fear extremists, period. And that group in Murfreesboro, make no mistake, are extremists.

Against their extremism, I find bitter succor in the inevitability of that cold dawn. Yes, there will come a morning after.

But first we must learn how dark this night will be.

To the editor: In the election of 1948, Dixiecrat Strom Thurmond swept the South. Of the states he carried, the highest voter turnout was in Louisiana. It was 18 percent. Laws, such as the poll tax and literacy tests had effectively disenfranchised the poor and minorities.

In modern times, voter suppression has become a standard Republican tactic, even here in Lawrence. In one legislative election, postcards were mailed to registered Democrats telling them that if they didn’t have their voter registration card with them, they would not be allowed to vote. It was a lie meant to discourage Democrats from going to the polls.

But not since the old Jim Crow days have we seen such a brazen assault on democracy. If you thought the Republican “reform” of the voting laws is unique to Kansas, you would be wrong. In state after state, legislation is being introduced and passed to make it harder to register and vote. These laws are carefully crafted to affect three groups: the young, minorities and the less affluent (e.g., renters). In some states exemptions have been made for Republican voter groups (e.g., in Texas, gun owners are exempt). The strategy seems to be, you don’t have to win their hearts and minds if you can just keep them from voting.

It’s ironic that in North Africa and the Middle East, people are fighting and dying to establish democracy, while here in America, we are quietly watching it slip away.

State strengthens laws against drunken driving TOPEKA — Kansas will require first-time drunken driving offenders to use ignition interlock devices on their vehicles, starting in July.

Gov. Sam Brownback signed a bill Wednesday that strengthens the state’s laws against driving under the influence of alcohol or other drugs.

The new law LEGISLATURE also requires the state to set up a central database of driving-under-the-influence cases to track of offenders’ histories.

Mothers Against Drunk Driving pushed Kansas to make its laws tougher. Last year, federal statistics showed alcohol-related traffic deaths in Kansas jumped in 2009, even as they dropped nationwide.

Current law suspends a first-time DUI offender’s license for 30 days and allows a judge to order use of an ignition interlock for 330 days after that. The new law will mandate 180 days’ use after the suspension.

LHS baseball coaches value Lawrence softball thrilled fun, hard work on state run for first 6A berth since 2000

By Clark Goble Journal-World Sports Writer

The baseball coaches’ off ice inside Lawrence High is a world of its own, where no coach can get away with making a false statement or a simple mistake.

The coaches continually chime in with their own opinions, insults and jokes.

The ribbing nature often spills over into other areas

of life, like the barbecues and football games the coaches and their families attend together.

But when the stadium lights come on and the Lions take to the diamond for a baseball game, it’s all business.

“We’re going to have fun, but you have to handle it responsibly,” LHS head coach Brad Stoll said. “We can turn the dial real quick.”

That attitude is certainly

cherished by Stoll, Chris Johnson, Adam Green and Brandon Johnson — the varsity baseball coaches at Lawrence High.

All four guys took different roads to the LHS dugout, but now their friendship has helped the program develop into a perennial contender. The Lions won the Class 6A state title in 2009.

By Clark Goble Journal-World Sports Writer

Twenty years ago, Reenie Stogsdill and Charlie Lauts met while playing slow pitch softball in Lawrence.

In 2000, Stogsdill, the Lawrence High softball head coach, and Lauts, her assistant, watched as the players they had coached for several summers took the Lions to the Class 6A Please see BASEBALL, page 3B state tournament.

Now, as the Lions prepare for their first state tournament trip since 2000, Stogsdill and Lauts both look back on their 20-year relationship fondly. Assistants on the Lawrence High staff have changed, but Stogsdill and Lauts have remained constants.

“We just kind of got together as a fluke,” Lauts said. “Our chemistry works really well together.”

In 1993, Lauts and Stogs-

dill started coaching summer ball together. The next year, they became assistants at Lawrence High.

Stogsdill was promoted to varsity head coach after two years of being an assistant.

Lauts stayed right with her for the next 15 years, through thick and thin.

The Lions went through a rough stretch recently, with the low point coming in Please see SOFTBALL, page 3B

Bob Davis remembers Splittorff One inning dooms ORIOLES 9, ROYALS 2

For more on Paul Splittorff — the winningest pitcher in Kansas City Royals history — and the memory he left with so many baseball fans, see page 2B.

Kansas University football and basketball play-by-play man /Kansas City Royals announcer Bob Davis worked Wednesday night’s K.C.-Baltimore baseball broadcast with a heavy heart.

Former Royals’ pitching great Paul Splittorff, who is a member of the club’s broadcast team, died earlier in the day at the age of 64.

“Paul is a very close friend and co-worker. It’s a really tough situation. We are all really saddened, but glad he’s not suffering now,” Davis said in a phone inter-

view after the Royals’ 9-2 loss at Camden Yards.

“He was a great pitcher and broadcaster, but more importantly a great guy. Those of us who knew him are down in the dumps,” added Davis, who last visited with Royals Hall of Famer Splittorff a week ago at Kauffman Stadium.

Splittorff, who died of complications from skin cancer, had been a frequent visitor to Allen Fieldhouse since his playing days ended in 1984.

The tall, bespectacled lefthanded pitcher, who won a Royals-record 166 games, branched out into basketball, working both

Big Eight and Big 12 network contests.

“I think he especially liked all the places that were special places for college basketball — Lawrence, Stillwater, Ames. He liked Hilton Magic,” Davis said.

“I think he thought college basketball was special and the one thing that made it so good was the venues.

“He got along with Bob Knight. He knew Bill (Self ), Norm (Stewart), Larry Eustachy.

He got along with everybody.”

Davis said Splittorff was a good athlete and broadcaster

K.C. righty Hochevar

By David Ginsburg Associated Press Sports Writer

B A L T I M O R E — An otherwise effective performance by Luke Hochevar was undone by one absolutely awful inning he won’t soon forget.

Hochevar yielded eight runs in the fourth inning, and that was more than enough to doom the Kansas City Royals to a 9-2 loss to the Baltimore Orioles on Please see SPLITTORFF, page 3B Wednesday night.

Hochevar (3-5) went seven innings, five of them perfect.

Except for the fourth inning, he faced only one batter over the minimum.

But that fourth inning was all anyone was talking about after the Royals’ fourth straight defeat.

“That was really, really bad execution by me in the fourth,” Hochevar said. “Everywhere I wanted to throw the ball, I just didn’t throw it there. There is really no excuse for it. I am a lot better than that. That was just really bad.

“I don’t think I ever have had a game where I had an inning that was that terrible.”

Baltimore sent 13 batters to the plate in the fourth against Hochevar, who yielded six hits, walked three and threw a wild pitch.

“I can’t explain it,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “He got to where his command was off and he got behind in the count. It Nick Wass/AP Photo ballooned on him a little bit.”

NBA PLAYOFFS

Mavericks storm ahead to finals D A L L A S ( A P ) — After all the incredible shots Dirk Nowitzki has hit this postseason, it was his vintage stuff — a straightaway threepointer and a pair of free throws — that put the Dallas Mavericks back in the NBA finals.

Nowitzki continued a tremendous roll for him and the Mavs by capping yet another fourthquarter comeback with a goahead three-pointer with 1:14 left, sending the Mavericks to a 100-96 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday night that closed out the Western Conference finals in five games.

After clawing back from down 15 with 5:04 left in Game 4, the Mavericks were down by six with 4:37 left in this one when they rallied again, outscoring the Thunder 14-4 the rest of the way.

Dallas has never won a championship, and neither has any of its players. Nowitzki and Jason Terry

were part of the only Mavericks team to make the finals, in 2006.

They were up, 2-0, and leading late in Game 3, but lost the series to the Miami Heat in six games.

Dallas could get another crack at the Heat.

LeBron James and Miami lead the Chicago Bulls, 3-1, in the Eastern Conference finals. If the Heat win tonight, the finals will begin Tuesday in Miami. If the Bulls win tonight, the finals will begin next Thursday in the East winner’s city.

“All I can tell everybody is, we

ain’t done yet,” Mavs owner Mark Cuban said during the on-court trophy presentation ceremony.

Seconds later, fans began chanting, “Beat the Heat,” drowning out coach Rick Carlisle’s on-court interview.

As fans were starting to clear out, Terry walked down the tunnel carrying the Western Conference championship trophy over his head.

Nowitzki and Shawn Marion each scored 26 points and were at their best in the fourth quarter.

Nowitzki scored nine in the final period, and Marion had 15. J.J. Barea added 14, Terry scored 12 and Jason Kidd had 10 assists and seven rebounds in a victory that set off the biggest on-court celebration in franchise history.

The only other time the Mavs made the f inals, they won in Phoenix. This time, the home folks got to enjoy it, including franchise founder Don Carter.

NFL Chiefs fill semitrailers with supplies KANSAS CITY, MO. — The Kansas City Chiefs have sent five semitrailers with donated supplies to the tornado-ravaged communities of Reading, Kan., and Joplin, Mo. Team owner Clark Hunt and general manager Scott Pioli pitched in Wednesday to help unload bottled water and other items as a steady procession of cars, SUVs and pickup trucks streamed into the Arrowhead Stadium parking lot. A Chiefs spokesman estimated more than 168,000 bottles of water had been donated by Kansas City residents.

At the suggestion of relief officials, the Chiefs on Wednesday also collected gloves, batteries, trash bags and flashlights.

The Chiefs also collected cash, including $108 that three children raised with a lemonade stand.

Coaches side with players MINNEAPOLIS — NFL coaches are teaming up with the players in their legal fight to end the owner-imposed lockout.

The NFL Coaches Association filed a brief with the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday expressing support for the players and saying that the lockout is putting their jobs in jeopardy.

Bulls C done for season DEERFIELD, ILL. — Chicago Bulls backup center Omer Asik will miss the rest of the season because of a broken left fibula.

Asik was injured in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals at Miami. An MRI and CT scan taken before Game 4 on Tuesday confirmed the injury. He tried to play anyway, lasting just two minutes, and general manager Gar Forman said Asik wasn’t risking more damage.

TENNIS Djokovic, Federer advance PARIS — Novak Djokovic’s perfect season is still intact and his clay-court form still looks devastating after he reached the third round of the French Open when Victor Hanescu retired Wednesday because of injury.

The second-seeded Serb, who joined 2009 champion Roger Federer in the third round at Roland Garros, improved to 39-0 in 2011 after Hanescu retired while trailing 6-4, 6-1, 2-3.

Djokovic has won 41 straight matches dating to last year’s Davis Cup final.

“I keep on thinking only about the winning.

I’m taking one match at a time,” Djokovic said.

“Really, I’m not thinking about when this streak — this amazing streak — will end. So I guess that’s the right mental approach.”

Top-ranked Caroline Wozniacki and 2010 French Open finalists Francesca Schiavone and Sam Stosur also advanced to the third round. On the men’s side, No. 7 David Ferrer of Spain, No. 9 Gael Monfils of France and former U.S. Open champion Juan Martin del Potro made it through.

LOS ANGELES — The NCAA has rejected Southern California’s bid to reduce some of the penalties imposed last year on its football program, including a two-year bowl ban and the loss of 30 scholarships over three years, according to media reports.

A USC spokesman confirmed on Wednesday that the school has received a response from the NCAA regarding its appeal, but he says that NCAA rules prevent USC from commenting on the decision until it is released today.

NBA Lakers, Brown reach deal in principle WVU’s Holgorsen apologizes LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Lakers have reached an agreement in principle with former Cleveland coach Mike Brown to succeed Phil Jackson, the team said Wednesday.

“We’ve met with Mike and are very impressed with him,” said a statement issued by the Lakers. “In addition, we have an outline for an agreement in place and hope to sign a contract within the next few days.”

Brown will get a four-year deal worth roughly $18 million, a person with knowledge of the discussions told The Associated Press on Wednesday on condition of anonymity because the Lakers hadn’t yet formally hired Brown.

Cole Aldrich, Oklahoma City Did not play (coach’s decision)

Splittorff, winningest Royals pitcher, dies of cancer at 64 “He was a fierce competitor and always had good stuff,” Yost said. “Always well prepared.

And he was like that here as a broadcaster. He was a guy that did his homework every single day.”

Splittorff was particularly effective in the Royals’ memorable playoff battles with the New York Yankees in the 1970s and ’80s. In seven postseason games, he was 2-0 with a 2.79 ERA. He was also teased by former teammates for holding the informal record of giving up the longest home run in Kauffman Stadium history — a shot by Chicago White Sox slugger Dick Allen that carried almost to the top of the hill behind left field.

“Some people say Bo Jackson hit one farther,” White said with a grin. “Bo’s was higher, but Dick Allen’s was all the way to the back of the hill. Paul got to where he could laugh about it, too.”

Splittorff lacked the natural talent of many of the top pitchers in Royals history, such as Steve Busby and Cy Young winners David Cone and Bret Saberhagen. But the fact he retired with more victories than any of the others is a testament to the iron-willed work ethic that characterized both his baseball and broadcasting careers.

“Paul didn’t have that electric slider or that devastating curveball,” White said. “But he was always steady and he always studied, always worked hard to do his very best. That’s why he was so successful both on and off the field.”

How former Jayhawks fared

| SPORTS WRAP |

KANSAS CITY, MO. — Paul Splittorff, the big, blonde left-hander who became the winningest pitcher in Kansas City Royals history and a popular broadcaster for the team, died Wednesday of complications from skin cancer.

He was 64.

The Royals said Splittorff died at his home in the Kansas City suburb of Blue Springs, Mo. His family announced 10 days ago that he had been battling melanoma and oral cancer.

“This is a very difficult day for our organization,” Royals owner and CEO David Glass said. “We will not only miss the insight and humor that he injected into every telecast, but most importantly we will miss his friendship. He epitomized class.”

Splittorff The Royals said the team will wear a memorial patch on the sleeve of their jerseys the rest of the season.

Fans noticed on opening day in 2009 that his speech had become slurred, though Splittorff kept his health issues private until his plight was reported by online columnist Greg Hall.

“He didn’t want anyone to feel sorry for him,” Royals broadcaster Ryan Lefebvre said.

Drafted by the expansion Royals in the 25th round in 1968, Splittorff spent his entire 15year career in Kansas City. A tall, bespectacled lefty with a high leg kick, he often appeared to squint into the catcher’s mitt as though he was having trouble seeing the sign. This sometimes proved disconcerting to hitters who wondered if they should be ready to bail out if the ball came flying toward their head.

He retired during the 1984 season with a club-record 166 victories.

“When you’ve known somebody for so long and they’ve been such a big part of your life, it’s never easy to say goodbye,” Frank White, the Royals’ eight-time Gold Glove-winning second baseman, told The Associated Press. “Our kids went to the same schools and grew up together. I have so many memories of Paul.”

Hall of Fame third baseman George Brett called Splittorff’s death a tremendous loss for the community and the team.

“He helped put the Kansas City Royals on the map and was such a great player for so many years,” Brett told KMBZ radio. “He wasn’t a real boisterous guy in the clubhouse. He just went about his work quietly and let everybody else get the headlines.”

Baseball commissioner Bud Selig said Splittorff had represented the Royals “with great class.”

“I am deeply saddened by the loss of Paul Splittorff, a lifetime Royal who was beloved by the fans of Kansas City and respected throughout our game,” Selig said. “I admired his devotion to his craft for many years, especially when he played a key role in helping the Royals reach their first World Series in 1980.”

Splittorff was born in Evansville, Ind., and raised in Arlington Heights, Ill. A two-sport star in baseball and basketball at Morningside College in Iowa, he made his major league debut on Sept. 23, 1970, and soon became a mainstay in the rotation.

His best year was 1973 when he went 20-11, the Royals’ first 20-game winner. Splittorff was not a hard thrower but had command of several pitches and always prepared carefully for every outing.

“He really got the most out of his ability,” said Denny Matthews, the Royals’ radio broadcaster who called every major league game Splittorff pitched and became his close friend.

In 15 seasons, Splittorff was 166-143 with a 3.81 ERA. He also holds the Royals record for starts (392) and innings pitched (2,554 2/3).

Royals manager Ned Yost remembered facing Splittorff as a hitter for Milwaukee.

West Virginia offensive coordinator and head coach-in-waiting Dana Holgorsen issued an apology after it was reported he was asked by police officers last week to leave a casino.

Neither Holgorsen nor athletic director Oliver Luck specifically addressed what happened last week at Mardi Gras Casino and Resort in Cross Lanes, W.Va., but both issued statements Wednesday.

“As a football coach, I am always in the public eye and I have to hold myself to a higher standard, which is what I ask our players to do,” Holgorsen said. “I’m sorry that this incident has put the university and the football program in a difficult position. I will not put myself in that situation again.”

KANSAS FOOTBALL RECRUITING

Jayhawks add Florida CB Gray

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

The recruiting haul for the Kansas University football program in the Class of 2012 officially is in motion.

Jon Kirby, of Rivals.com, reported Wednesday that Daniel Gray, a 6-foot, 165pound cornerback from Boyd Anderson High in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., orally committed to the Jayhawks Wednesday evening via a telephone call to head coach Turner Gill.

Gray, a senior-to-be, has been timed as fast as 4.3 seconds in the 40-yard dash and consistently runs in the 4.4

range. He chose KU over offers from Texas Tech and Florida International. Nearby programs Miami and Florida State also showed serious interest in Gray the physical defensive back.

At the end of the day, KU’s early interest, kicked off by Florida guru and KU safeties coach, Robert Wimberly, paid off. The Jayhawks’ persistence didn’t hurt either.

“I always felt that Kansas was loyal to me,” Gray told Rivals. “Coach Gill was really cool ... I really like coach Wimberly. He’s very honest and I liked how he was trustworthy.

I hope to go up to Kansas and start a new tradition.”

The addition of Gray marks the second straight year the Jayhawks have landed a cornerback from the Sunshine State. Chris Robinson, 5-9, 170, of Lake Mary, Fla., was one of 27 members of KU’s 2011 class.

Robinson will report to campus in June.

This year, KU has about half as many scholarships available to give (13), which

has encouraged the coaching staff to alter its approach on the recruiting trail.

“When you don’t have as many scholarships available, you have to be really selective with the pool of players that you’re going after,” said KU recruiting coordinator and running backs coach Reggie Mitchell. “This year, we’re going to be a little more selective with the positions that we’re going to take.”

One position that KU continues to deem important is cornerback. And there’s a specific reason for that.

“We’re going after speed,” Mitchell said.

Sixth-seeded LHS will face No. 3 Shawnee Mission West in the first round of the state tournament at 6:30 p.m. Friday at Kansas University’s Hoglund Ballpark.

“We’re all good friends, rather than just colleagues,” said Chris Johnson, the junior varsity and catchers coach.

“We enjoy being around each other. We’re not afraid to share our opinions and we all listen to each other.”

Chris has never even strapped on the catcher’s gear or caught a game behind the plate, so he learned about the position by attending numerous clinics and asking lots of questions to knowledgeable people.

In 2002, Chris graduated from Lawrence High, where he played middle infielder and outfielder for the baseball team. When he heard Stoll had taken the head coaching job at LHS in 2004, he called Stoll and told him that he wanted to be a part of the staff.

He started working with the Lions’ summer teams before being added to the staff in 2007.

“I guess I made a good impression on (Stoll), so he gave me a job and I’m still here,” Chris said.

Adam Green, the hitters and outfielders coach, has worked with Stoll since his days at Free State, taking a teaching job and baseball coaching position at LHS in 2005.

Thirteen years after graduating from LHS, Green came back because he liked Stoll’s coaching philosophy and how Lawrence High remained tradition-rich.

Brandon Johnson, no relation to Chris, pitched for Free State while Stoll was an assistant there.

Using his competitive nature and baseball smarts to offset his lack of velocity and breaking pitches, Brandon climbed all the way to Div. I baseball, pitching two years at Kansas University.

When the pitching coach position opened at LHS, Stoll called Brandon first.

Their histories vary, but now that the four coaches have worked together for a couple years, they’ve turned into great friends.

When Chris’ daughter was born two-and-a-half months ago, he took two days away from the team. Coaches continually called him and texted him. When Chris came back to practice, the players congratulated him and asked him all about the baby.

“It’s a big family thing,” Chris said.

Chris, the youngest coach, usually bears the brunt of the jokes, especially when his catchers make any kind of mistake. Green called him “a little ragdoll.”

That family attitude also allows each coach flexibility to make any adjustments necessary for their position group.

The assistants readily spew their opinions off the diamond, so why would they be afraid to make changes on it?

“If there’s a new thing I want to do with the pitchers, (Stoll) doesn’t ask two questions about it,” Brandon said.

“He says just do it.”

But even when the Lions are on the field and the game is close, the coaches sometimes can’t help but shoot barbs at one another.

“This is a game,” Stoll said.

“We can’t take ourselves too seriously.”

2009 when they finished 1-20.

Now, they’re 14-8 and the No. 8 seed in this year’s state tournament, taking on top-seeded Olathe East (22-0) at 10 a.m. on Friday at Kansas University’s Arrocha Ballpark.

“I think we had people wondering if I knew what I was doing, wondering if anybody knew what they were doing,” Stogsdill said of 2009.

The players started to doubt the system too, but then they realized they had to work harder to get where they wanted to be.

That work ethic, especially among the seniors, is something that has left an impression on Lauts.

“With this group of girls, it’s just so sweet because they’re so deserving of everything that’s coming to them right now,” Lauts said. “Just a great group of seniors. You don’t ever want them to graduate because you’d love to keep them forever.”

Splittorff CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

because ... “he worked at it. In baseball he was a 25th round draft pick. Not only did he make it to the majors, he was a 20-game winner (1973) and key starter on some really great teams. In broadcasting, he started at the bottom. He did high school games (at Blue Springs, Rockhurst and other K.C.-area schools). He had two distinct careers as a baseball player and broadcaster and was excellent at both.” ●

KU trio in draft: ESPN.com’s Chad Ford has released his first 2011 NBA mock draft following last week’s combine in Chicago.

He has KU’s Marcus Morris being selected No. 11 overall by the Golden State Warriors; Markieff Morris No. 16 overall by the Philadelphia 76ers and Josh Selby No. 17 overall by the New York Knicks.

Of Marcus Morris, Ford wrote: “The Warriors have a lot of front court needs, especially at the 5. But without a legit center available at this point, Morris is a serious option. His ability to play multiple positions and score both on the perimeter and in the post, plus his maturity level, make him a great fit in Golden State.”

Of Markieff, he said: “The Sixers really need a big man, and Morris, a Philly native, is the best left on the board.

Morris has a rep as a good defender, shot-blocker and rebounder — but he also proved at Kansas that he can step out and hit the 3. He’s a bit rawer than his brother, but

he’s a good get at this point in the draft.”

Of Selby, Ford said: “GM Donnie Walsh may have made the biggest mistake of his career when he passed on a number of terrific young but unproven point guards in 2009 so he could draft Jordan Hill. ... Don’t expect the Knicks to make the same mistake again. ... Selby has lottery talent but a shaky résumé. It may be a risk taking him this high, but he has a very high upside.”

Ford reported Wednesday night that the 6-foot-2 Selby had a 42-inch vertical jump at the combine.

“He’s another big risk because he really flamed out at Kansas this year. But there were extenuating circumstances and the truth is that Selby is a big-time talent who may have the quickest first step in the draft. He’s going to be able to get to the basket,” Ford wrote. ●

Roundball Classic June 16: Tickets are on sale for the Rock Chalk Roundball Classic, to be held at 7 p.m., Thursday, June 16, at Free State High School.

Tell friends about bedbugs next time they stay over Annie’s Mailbox

lowing the discussion from those who have lost their spouses and their friends. I lost my husband last year and am only now 60, so not housebound.

I know people have their own lives and families, and I just don’t fit in anymore. I know I need to build a new life. But old friends don’t know how much their silence hurts. Friends of more than 30 years are just gone. anniesmailbox@comcast.net I hope anyone reading approach this with them? Or these letters who has a friend do we? — Itching in Ky. who is now alone will take a minute to call just to say hello.

Dear Itching: Your letter made us itch. Bedbugs have become an epidemic lately, and they are a particular problem in hotels, motels, apartment buildings, condominiums and anywhere large numbers of people share living space. Fortunately, most of these places have taken great pains to see that bedbugs are no longer an issue, but you should not assume that Dan and Kelly are bug free. When they call to say they’re headed your way, tell them, “You know, we had a bedbug problem several months ago and just want to be sure you are careful when you travel.”

Also, be sure to inspect the bed after they leave (and before you sleep on it).

Universal Crossword Edited by Timothy E. Parker May 26, 2011

Dear Annie: I have been fol-

Cyber warfare, a football incubator and Oregon’s unique law What do Sony PlayStation and the government of Estonia have in common?

They’ve both been victims of cyber attacks, the subject of “Code Wars: America’s Cyber Threat” (8 p.m., CNBC).

In the past, cyber-criminals have brought the websites of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, the New York Stock Exchange, and the South Korean government to a halt. “Code Wars” examines America’s vulnerabilities at a time when our most important institutions — from the military to the financial markets — are all online and subject to attack. ● Current TV kicks off a nine-episode documentary series “4th and Forever” (8 p.m., Current), following the real life sports drama at Long Beach Polytechnic High, an institution recognized by “Sports Illustrated” and other experts for putting more students into the NFL than any other. As on “Friday Night Lights,” the stakes at each football game could not be higher, and the star of the series is the coach, Raul Lara, an inspiration to his players, who have won more than 100 games in his nine seasons at Long Beach.

In addition to its many former students in the NFL, the school has also graduated major league baseball stars including the Phillies’ Chase Utley and the Mariners’ Milton Bradley. The school’s most famous athletic alum just may be tennis pioneer Billie Jean King. ● “So You Think You Can Dance” (7 p.m., Fox) enters its eighth season of competition with auditions from Atlanta and San Francisco. Auditions resume next Wednesday from New York and Salt Lake City. ● Oprah Winfrey’s friend and colleague celebrates Oprah Winfrey on a network named for Oprah Winfrey on “The Gayle King Show: Oprah Finale After Party” (8 p.m., OWN). ● The winner of a Grand Jury Prize at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival, “How to Die In Oregon” (7 p.m., HBO) looks at that state’s controversial Death With Dignity Act. Enacted in 1994, it made Oregon the only state to legalize what it calls “physician assisted aid-in-dying.”

Tonight’s other highlights ● Denzel Washington and Forest Whitaker star in the 2007 historical drama “The Great Debaters” (7 p.m., BET). ● Haskell corners Langston on “CSI” (8 p.m., CBS). ● The Canadian import cop drama “Rookie Blue” (ABC) returns with backto-back repeat episodes. First up, a takedown goes awry (8 p.m.); a seemingly timely bust upsets a delicate operation (9 p.m.). ● Murder invades a well-guarded compound on “The Mentalist” (9 p.m., CBS). ● “Biography” (9 p.m., BIO) profiles Ted Williams, a homeless man with the voice of a professional announcer.

Cult choice ● Few movies have toyed with a story’s chronology to such entertaining effect as the 1994 drama “Pulp Fiction” (7 p.m., IFC), written and directed by Quentin Tarantino.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Thursday, May 26: This year, you open up and express a new vitality and strength. You might be hard to stop when focused on a goal or busy with friends. If you are single, friendship and romance will be closely tied in some fashion. If you are attached, remember that your sweetie is your friend too. Aries is your natural cheerleader.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You'll Have: 5Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) ★★★★★ You suddenly feel re-energized. You wonder if your preference will work for others. Good question. Listen to your instincts when dealing with others. Tonight: Whatever knocks your socks off.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ★★★ Know that you are better off evaluating rather than acting. You might want to consider veering in a new direction. Tonight: Vanishing while you can.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ★★★★★ You are full of fun and energy. Somehow you might have to break some patterns that others are vested in you following.

Tonight: Where your friends are.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ★★★ Be willing to take

jacquelinebigar.com

a stand and head in a new direction. Recognize what is happening behind the scenes with someone you care about. Tonight: A must appearance.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★★★ Break precedence once more. What you come up with could be very exciting and unexpected. Consider a walk on the wild side — in your terms, mentally break past restrictive thinking.

Tonight: Wherever there is great music.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★★ Work with a partner who suddenly becomes so proactive that you might not know how to handle this person. Go with the moment. Tonight: In the throes of the moment.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ★★★★★ Defer to others without any expectations. When the unexpected does occur, you won't be as surprised. You might be quite interested as others reveal themselves.

Tonight: Just accept rather than judge.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★★ Dive into your day-to-day life as if there is no tomorrow and there were no yesterday. Can you put yourself 100 percent into the moment?

Tonight: Soak in a hot tub.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-

Dec. 21) ★★★★★ Your mind nearly illustrates every sentence you hear. Your creativity and imagination are off the charts. Some people might find it difficult to grasp your fleeting ideas.

Tonight: Think and act as if it were Friday night.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★★ Your ability to move past disruption on the home front could be important. On the other hand, you might want to toss yourself right into it. Tonight: Stay close to home.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★★★ You might want to discuss a situation more openly. Your assumptions, though seemingly grounded to you, might not be when you get into a discussion. Tonight: Make merry with some friends.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★ Curb a need to be possessive and touchy. No matter how you feel and what goes on, detach and at least make an attempt to take in the whole picture. Tonight: Treat yourself to flowers or a favorite dessert.

— The astrological forecast should be read for entertainment only.

Dear Annie: For the past 10 summers, "Dan and Kelly” have stopped at our house on the way to visit their relatives up north. It’s a long trip, so they often need to stop at a motel before reaching our place. Sometimes they stay with us overnight, and other times, it can be as long as five days.

My husband and I sleep in different bedrooms. He gave up his bed for Dan and Kelly.

Two weeks after their last visit, he was eaten up with bug bites, even though the sheets had been washed. We inspected and, sure enough, found bedbugs. We had to have a pest control company spray our entire house, and we took comforters, blankets and pillows to the local laundry since they were too big for my machines. Thankfully, we haven’t had any repeats, but the bill was nearly $500.

Dan and Kelly are coming through again this summer.

How can we make sure this won’t happen again? We never mentioned the bugs to them (can you say “awkward”?), nor did they say a word to us, even though they must have taken those bugs with them to their relatives. I am not worried about the money, although I don’t want a repeat of that bill. The main thing is, I don’t want any more bedbugs. How can we
