Fuel prices make big impact on city budget

MEMORIAL DAY

Mourners pay respects to veterans, loved ones

By Laura Nightengale Special to the Journal-World

Every cent at the gas pump adds up. Rising fuel prices are costing the city of Lawrence an additional $100,000 this fiscal year.

While fuel consumption through the first five months of DO THE MATH the year — 175,000 gallons — is similar to 2010 — 172,000 — the Find a gasoline 65-cent-per-gallon fuel calculator online increase is taking a bigger bite at LJWorld.com out of the city budget.

To power its fleet of 573 vehicles, the city purchases fuel in bulk — about 7,000 gallons at a time.

Residents afraid ‘safe rooms’ in homes not as secure as claimed

Jeff Waltho says he wasn’t just buying a home when he recently bought one unit of a fourplex off Lake Pointe Drive in west Lawrence.

He also was buying peace of mind. The advertisement for the home even said so.

Waltho had never lived in a Kansas house without a basement.

The threat of a tornado always had made that seem like a bad idea. So the fact that his new slab home at 2250 Lake Pointe Drive had a “storm shelter/safe room” in its garage was an important selling point.

At least it was until he started watching a television program on The Weather Channel.

“They were talking about safe rooms and how they needed to be rated for certain wind speeds and

what they needed to have to really be safe, and then I started having a lot of questions about mine,” Waltho said.

He had enough questions that he started asking his Waltho builder, and it got to the point that the builder’s attorney got involved. What he had to say really didn’t please Waltho.

“In other words,” the letter read, “the storm room is a concrete box with a steel door on it, which is all that was ever promised to you.”

That doesn’t quite have the same ring to it as the language that was on a real estate flier promoting the fourplex: “Oversized two car garage with concrete Storm Shelter/Safe Room for your peace of mind.”

peace of mind, and he doesn’t have the storm shelter that he thought he did.

A matter of standards Lots of people don’t have the storm shelter they think they do, said Larry Tanner, an engineer and researcher at Texas Tech’s Wind Science and Engineering Research Center.

Tanner said the standards to which a storm shelter are built can make a tremendous difference.

“It can be the difference between life and death,” Tanner said. “Over the years, I have seen lots of failed shelters.”

But until recently, there have been no agreed-upon national standards that must be met before a unit can be called a storm shelter or safe room. Most times, if it had concrete Please see SHELTER, page 2A

DEATHS S ETH E MON’E NORWOOD

Harvey R. Taber Harvey R. Taber, 84 of Lawrence, Kansas, died May 29, 2011. Harvey was born January 17, 1927, to Jesse A. Taber and Orpha Mitchell Taber in the rural town of Reading, Kansas.

He attended Reading schools. Harvey held various interesting jobs during his lifetime. He was a custom Combine operator, a ranch hand in Western Kansas, and a truck driver in North Dakota. In 1953 he returned to Kansas and worked for NOYA Hydrating and National Dehydrator. He then returned to farm management before becoming an independent woodsman.

Harvey’s hobbies included breaking horses, gardening, canning, Chevy truck restoration and country music. Harvey was also a huge fan of wrestling, boxing, and rodeos, especially

bull riding.

Harvey was the beloved father of Karen (Dave) Butts of Orting, WA, Jessica Wingerd of Leavenworth, KS and son Raymond Worthington Taber. Harvey was a grandfather of 8 and great-grandfather of 10. He was the beloved brother of Harry, Alice, Georgie, Roy, David, Charles, Elsie, and Ruth.

He was preceded in death by all except Charles, Ruth and Elsie. He was cremated. Graveside inurnment will be at a later date in the Reading, Kansas cemetery.

He was very much loved by his family and will be missed greatly.

Memorial contributions may be made to the Veteran’s charity of the donor’s choice. Send personal condolences to Karen Butts 14715 151st Ave. E. Orting, WA 98360.

walls, a concrete roof and some sort of door that looked sturdier than your average house door, it would be marketed as a storm shelter.

Tanner, though, said that doesn’t make it so. He said that often such storm shelters have a major weakness with their doors.

“Builders will spend thousands of dollars building a concrete room, and then put $100 of locks on a $200 door, and really, I probably could kick that door in,” Tanner said.

But that may be changing.

The International Code Council — one of the more heavily used building codes in the country — recently added storm shelter/safe room standards to its codes.

When Lawrence updated its version of the ICC regulations recently (but long after 2008, when Waltho’s house was built), the storm shelter standards became the law for any newly built storm shelters in the city.

The standards require the shelters to be built to withstand 250 mph winds and a 15pound 2-by-4 traveling at 100 mph, among other standards.

Those standards will mean specially designed doors rated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency will have to be used on new shelters.

The standards don’t require any homes to have storm shelters, but the standards likely will have an impact on how many shelters get built in the future. Barry Walthall, building safety manager for the city, said builders and real estate agents won’t be allowed to market the concrete rooms as storm shelters or safe rooms in the future unless they have been built to the code standards.

“From here on out, if they plan on calling it a storm shelter, we will need to look closely at how they intend to build it,” Walthall said.

A step forward?

The bigger question may be whether they will build it at all. Mike Hultine, an owner of Cornerstone Construction, built Waltho’s storm room. He said complaints by

McElwain Mortuary.

Mr. Racy died Monday, May 30, 2011, at his home.

SHELTER STANDARDS Larry Tanner, a researcher and engineer at Texas Tech University, said the owner of a storm shelter should examine the shelter’s door to see if it meets FEMA standards.

One sign that the door is not to FEMA standards may be the number of deadbolt locks it has. Often, a FEMA door will have three deadbolt locks — one each directly across from the hinge of the door. Hinges also should be 4-inch heavy duty hinges.

Consumers also can look for a seal from the National Storm Shelter Association, a nonprofit based out of Texas Tech that certifies storm shelter products.

Waltho — and now one of Waltho’s neighbors in the fourplex — have soured him so much that he likely won’t build another one of the rooms.

“I thought I was trying to do something good, and now I’m just getting painted as a bad guy,” Hultine said.

Hultine said he believes there are good reasons to provide some type of storm shelter rooms in Kansas homes that don’t have a basement.

But he said there’s a reason builders don’t often construct storm shelters to the standards set out by FEMA and others. He said a FEMArated door costs $5,500 from his supplier. Tanner said they can be had for about $2,000, but, regardless, they are significantly more expensive than a standard steel, firerated door.

“We really were concerned about storms when we built this,” Hultine said. “But we recognized some real cost problems, and we wanted to offer people a reasonable amount of protection at a reasonable price.”

Whether he succeeded is a matter of debate.

The room is unique because it is part of a fourplex development. Each unit of the fourplex has a garage. The four garages back up to each other, two on each side. In the center, where the four garages intersect, Hultine built four concrete walls and a concrete roof.

Inside those four walls,

Funeral services for Seth Emon’e Norwood, 42, Lawrence, will be at 10 a.m.

Friday at First Presbyterian Church, with the Rev. Leo Barbee Jr. officiating. Burial will follow in Oak Hill Cemetery.

Mr. Norwood died Thursday, May 26, 2011, at Stormont-Vail Regional Medical Center.

He was born Aug. 28, 1968, in Wichita, the son of Lafayette and Betty Ann White Norwood.

He attended Lawrence High School and received his associates degree from Johnson County Community College while playing basketball for his father.

He received his bachelor of arts degree in psychology and communications from Avila College, Kansas City, Mo. He continued to play basketball through his college years and was ranked fourth in the nation in free throw percentage in Division II basketball.

Later, he coached the Kansas 76ers in AAU circuit where his team achieved many honors, including a national championship in 1999.

Mr. Norwood worked at

however, he did not separate the four individual storm rooms via concrete walls.

Instead, he used standard wooden studs and Sheetrock.

Waltho argues — and Tanner agrees — that’s inadequate, especially given that none of the four doors to the units is a FEMA-rated tornado door.

That means that if even one of the doors is blown off — or for whatever reason simply didn’t get shut — the occupants in the other three storm rooms would be protected on two sides only by the Sheetrock walls.

Waltho isn’t the only person concerned about the design. His neighbor, Hank Cotton, said he wouldn’t have bought the house if he knew the storm shelter was so flawed.

“They basically said it was a tornado room and we would be safe and would not have any worries,” Cotton said.

“Now, I don’t know. I can tell you my confidence has definitely dwindled.”

Waltho said he’s not sure that he would even use it in a serious storm.

“If I have enough time to get in the truck and get my wife and my dogs, we will go somewhere else,” Waltho said.

Hultine doesn’t understand that type of thinking.

“Are you kidding me?” he responded when asked if he would use the room during a storm. “It is an eight-inch concrete box with a steel door. I absolutely would be in there. I would be in there in a heartbeat.”

What’s less clear is whether future owners of a Hultine home will be in such a room. Between the new regulations and the complaints he’s received about these units, which were the first storm rooms he built, he doubts he’ll build another one.

“I’m beside myself now because I think we probably would have been better off not building anything at all,” Hultine said. “That’s sad, when you really stop to think about it.”

committee with 16 other prosecutors statewide to examine the cases.

The cases are filed in district courts once someone convicted of a sex crime comes close to being paroled but they have been determined as high risk because of a mental abnormality or personality disorder to re-offend

by Kansas Department of Corrections staff members and mental health professionals.

The law, which has been upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court, is aimed at keeping high-risk offenders for treatment at Larned State Hospital once their sentence expires.

The cases can proceed to district court trials if they are contested.

“The expansion of the prosecutor review committee is important to the attorney general because the flow of sexually violent predator cases continues,” said assistant attorney general Christine Ladner, who is chairwoman of the state committee. “People continue to be convicted of sexually violent offenses, and it’s important that when we are reviewing and prosecuting these cases that there is geographical representation on the judgment behind who we charge.”

The attorney general’s office used to handle all sexually violent predator cases until former Attorney General Paul Morrison expanded the committee to include prosecutors from Wyandotte, Johnson and Sedgwick counties.

Schmidt recently expanded it to include Reno, Douglas and Shawnee counties and added four other prosecutors from more rural regions of the state.

Ladner said the prosecutors

on the committee typically review five to seven cases per month flagged by the KDOC and vote by conference call whether to pursue them as sexually violent predator cases at a district court level.

Branson said the review process is helpful because it offers a chance for a fresh set of eyes to look at a case. Several prosecutors who were not initially involved in prosecuting the case can provide a new perspective on whether the defendant might benefit from more treatment in the state’s program.

According to Douglas County court clerk records, there are three pending sexually violent predator cases here. The attorney general’s office filed one in December against Dale D. Patterson Jr., 32, who was convicted of two counts of aggravated criminal sodomy of a child in a 2002 case, according to KDOC records.

Branson’s office this month filed a case against Kodi A. Thomas, 41, who was convicted of attempted rape and aggravated burglary in a 1996 case, and Christopher John Saemisch, 53, who was convicted for a 1996 aggravated indecent liberties case.

“Clearly the importance of these cases is that the penitentiary system isn’t completely adept to fully treating somebody in this type of situation before we release these people back out in to the community,” Branson said. “If it’s something that’s going to benefit from further care and treatment by the state in a secure setting, it just benefits the public as a whole.

It gives them a better chance of being successful after a release, and it also protects the community.”

Dad Days to celebrate paternal bonding

Handling with care

General chosen to head Joint Chiefs President Barack Obama moved Monday to seal an overhaul of his national security team, selecting Army Gen. Martin Dempsey as the next Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman amid protracted battle in Afghanistan, U.S. involvement in the NATO-led effort against Libya’s Moammar Gadhafi and a winding down of the war in Iraq.

Obama announced a new lineup of his top military leadership group in the Rose Garden of the White House just before venturing across the Potomac to pay tribute to the nation’s war dead at Arlington National Cemetery. The Memorial Day announcements had been expected, although there was no immediate indication what the military leadership moves might imply for possible changes in military strategy.

Already, the president had turned, in late April, to CIA Director Leon Panetta to succeed Robert Gates as secretary of defense and chose to move Army Gen. David Petraeus from his command of the Afghanistan war effort to the United States to replace Panetta at the CIA.

Germany to abandon nuclear power Europe’s economic powerhouse, Germany, announced plans Monday to abandon nuclear energy over the next 11 years, outlining an ambitious strategy in the wake of Japan’s Fukushima disaster to replace atomic power with renewable energy sources.

Chancellor Angela Merkel said she hopes the transformation to more solar, wind and hydroelectric power serves as a roadmap for other countries.

“We believe that we can show those countries who decide to abandon nuclear power — or not to start using it — how it is possible to achieve growth, creating jobs and economic prosperity while shifting the energy supply toward renewable energies,” Merkel said.

Merkel’s government said it will shut down all 17 nuclear power plants in Germany — the world’s fourth-largest economy and Europe’s biggest — by 2022. The government had no immediate estimate of the transition’s overall cost.

Serbia’s president Boris Tadic says it’s time for the European Union to do its part by boosting his nation’s efforts to join the bloc, arguing the arrest of war crimes suspect Ratko Mladic proves it is serious about rejoining the international fold.

Tadic also rejected speculation Monday that authorities had known of Mladic’s hiding place, but delayed his arrest to coincide with a visit by EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton. The rumors have persisted because Mladic was found living not far from the capital, Belgrade, with relatives who share his last name.

“Any such comment makes no sense,” Tadic said.

“The truth is that we arrested Ratko Mladic the moment we discovered him.”

Mladic, Europe’s most wanted war crimes fugitive, was arrested on Thursday in a village north of Belgrade after 16 years on the run. He is charged by a U.N. war crimes court for atrocities committed by his troops during Bosnia’s 1992-95 war.

SOUND OFF

Q:

Apparently there are clubs at the high schools that have paid sponsors and are funded or unpaid sponsors and are unfunded. What puts a club in one category or the other? For years at LHS, the French and Spanish club sponsors have received a small stipend, but the German club sponsor has not. With the ninth-graders starting high school next fall, will there be additional money for club sponsors?

A:

Matt Brungardt, principal at Lawrence High School, said that there would be no additional money available next year for club sponsors. The school receives a limited number of “club sponsorships,” each worth $500, and clubs that already have received sponsorships continue to receive them.

As new clubs form, they do so without sponsors receiving stipends.

“Despite limited funding available for club sponsorship positions, Lawrence High does not limit the number of student clubs,” Brungardt said. “Students who want to form a club need only to find an adult sponsor and submit a constitution for the approval of the school administration and student council. We have a number of sponsors who are actively working with student clubs without stipends.”

Groups mull legal challenge to state pensions changes

By John Hanna Associated Press Writer

TOPEKA — Retiree and public employee groups in Kansas are contemplating a lawsuit against a law enacted this year that would force teachers and government workers to make concessions on their pensions to address the state retirement system’s long-term funding problems.

The law would force most employees covered by the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System to choose between paying a higher percentage of their salaries toward their pensions and having their future benefits reduced. Workers hired after June 2009 wouldn’t face higher contributions, but they’d be required to choose one of two alternatives for cutting their

Employees, which is part of a coalition on pension issues, Keeping the Kansas Promise.

“I think that is something that we will address as a group and figure out where to go,” she said.

Leaders of the Republicancontrolled Legislature have anticipated that retiree and public employee groups might file a lawsuit over the KPERS changes. House Speaker Mike O’Neal, a Hutchinson Republican and an attorney, compared the threat of a legal challenge to the threat facing any major project inspiring heated debate.

“When you build a power plant, you expect somebody to file suit,” O’Neal said.

“Every side has the right to have those legal issues evaluated.”

allotted in the 2011 budget for fuel — an increase from the $1.35 million budgeted in 2010.

“We’re watching fuel prices, of course, on a regular basis,” city fleet manager Steve Stewart said. “We try to watch the market closer and see if we can try to determine the best possible time to buy it.”

The city fleet includes a range of cars and trucks, which includes three gas-efficient Toyota Prius hybrids for environmental code enforcement and parking that get about 30 miles per gallon, to guzzlers like a rear-loading garbage truck that averages 3.2 miles per gallon.

The city’s ongoing effort to limit fuel use began in 2009 with the adoption of an official idle policy and continued with the addition of solar panels to some emergency vehicles last year.

The idle policy, which applies to all city employees and vehicles, is aimed at saving money and fuel by limiting the time vehicle engines are allowed to idle — specifically warming up or cooling down a cab in winter and summer months. The “30second rule” encourages operators to turn off the engine if the idle time is expected to exceed 30 seconds.

Some departments have shown little change in fuel expenditures, while others have improved efficiency under the policy. For example, garbage trucks showed nearly identical statistics in 2008 and in 2010 after the policy’s implementation. Meanwhile, the police patrol division improved average miles per gallon in a standard Crown Victoria from 8.36 to 8.84, a 5.7 percent increase. It also trimmed average fuel cost per vehicle by about 7.6 percent. “(The patrol commanders) changed patrol habits and

A SOLAR PANEL IS SHOWN ON THE ROOF of the LawrenceDouglas County Fire Medical truck. Rooftop solar panels are the first step in launching a program designed to offset use of combustible engine energy to power lights and radio equipment when the vehicle is idle.

Kansas University School of Journalism students in the advanced classes of Scott Reinardy, Julie Denesha and Mike Williams produced this series about the effects of escalating gasoline prices in Lawrence. This is Part 2. tried to focus on where they could stop and write their reports in high visibility areas so that they didn’t have to run as many miles and use as much fuel,” Stewart said.

“They did an excellent job of cutting the miles driven and the fuel uses, I thought, and still did an excellent job of protecting the public.”

The city uses GPS monitoring systems to check vehicles’ fuel-conserving practices and is currently observing idle time in trash collection vehicles, which consume about 200,000 gallons of fuel annually.

“The idea of the GPS is not only can we better tell where our people are at and how the job’s getting done, but we can look at ways to change the routes and make the operations more efficient, so this is going to be a long-term project,” Stewart said.

The solar panels utilized on two ambulances and one fire truck allow vehicle operators to shut down the engines in nonemergency sit-

uations. The trucks use solarpowered batteries for functions such as monitoring equipment and lights while on routine calls. The panels have no effect on emergency operations when vehicles are left running and fully functional.

The solar panel project is still in the pilot phase while city officials gather information about cost and energy efficiency before deciding whether to implement the technology on additional vehicles, Stewart said.

Each city department has its own estimated fuel budget, but for every department it’s a balance between saving money and properly serving the community.

“Our top priority is essential services,” city communications manager Megan Gilliland said. “We’re going to make sure our trash trucks can run; we’re going to make sure that police, fire, medical can get out and do what they need to do.”

City government will continue to test ways to curb fuel usage.

“It’s very simple steps that on a consumer level, a youand-me level, we should think about those things when gas prices are going up and affecting us,” Gilliland said. “We (the city) think about the same things — just on a lot bigger scale.”

Nation marks Memorial Day with parades, flyovers, flags

By Eric Tucker Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON — Americans from the nation’s capital to Alaska marked Memorial Day with parades, somber reflection and even a climbing expedition in a holiday infused with fresh meaning by the approaching 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

The National Memorial Day Parade in Washington honored veterans and America’s war dead but also featured special tributes to Sept.

11 first responders, victims and their families. Also fresh in the minds of parade participants and watchers was the killing less than a month ago of Osama bin Laden, who masterminded the attacks.

Elsewhere, military jets thundered through the sky above New York after a wreath-laying ceremony aboard an aircraft carrier that’s been turned into a museum, while hundreds of volunteers put small flags on the 25,000 graves at a sprawling military cemetery near Las Vegas. U.S. troops fighting in Afghanistan also took time out to remember fallen comrades.

Along the parade route in Washington, children sat on parents’ shoulders and throngs cheered the passing high school marching bands and floats of war veterans.

Special guests included Medal of Honor recipients, astronaut and Korean War veteran Buzz Aldrin and actor Gary Sinise, a veterans advocate who played Lt. Dan in the Oscarwinning film “Forrest Gump.”

Hamilton Peterson, who lost his father and stepmother when the hijacked United Airlines 93 crashed into a field in Shanksville, Pa., said the looming anniversary of the terror attacks should serve as a reminder to Amer-

JACOB LONG, of the Georgia Army National Guard, holds his 2-month-old daughter, Charlotte, while listening to the song “God Bless America” during a Memorial Day ceremony, Monday in Roswell, Ga. icans to be vigilant.

“Obviously, bin Laden’s death is a highlight of the 10th anniversary. However, we recognize that future attacks are imminent and that, absent using 9/11 as a model for how to respond, all Americans need to get involved. It can’t just be the military,” said Peterson, 51.

Sgt. James Patrick McMichael of the Arlington County, Va., sheriff ’s office was among the first responders to the Pentagon and was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder about two years later. He said that even though the anniversary was dredging up painful memories, it’s still critical that the public never lose memory of the attacks — especially to make sure they don’t happen again.

“Reliving the event is not something that I look forward to, but I don’t think it should be something that’s not

brought up to the public,” said McMichael, who attended the parade in Washington.

“I don’t think people should forget about what occurred.”

The parade featured a Shanksville fire engine and a red, white and blue float bearing the images of the victims on miniature twin towers.

Seventeen-year-old spectator Zach Garrett recalled watching coverage of the attacks as a third-grader.

“Watching it on the TV, it was disturbing at that age,” said the Alpharetta, Ga., resident who was visiting Washington with his family. “And here, 10 years later, this big parade — everybody’s participating and everybody’s on the sidelines cheering everybody on. There’s a lot of patriotism here.”

President Barack Obama participated in a wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery near Washington.

“Our nation owes a debt to its fallen heroes that we cannot ever fully repay,” Obama said in a speech. “But we can honor their sacrifice, and we must.”

In New York, Lynn Berat dressed her young daughters in matching red, white and blue sundresses for a the ceremony at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum on the west side of Manhattan.

“I think it’s important that they understand the spirit of Memorial Day instead of just barbecuing,” she said.

Five Army Rangers stationed at Joint Base LewisMcChord in Washington state climbed Mount McKinley in Alaska, reaching the summit Friday night in honor of 11 Rangers from their regiment who have died in the line of duty. They planted a flag at the summit bearing the names of the fallen.

Kan. ranked Expanded Obituaries Every life has a story. among states with ‘craziest gun laws’ W I C H I T A ( A P ) — A new Kansas law that bans concealed-carry permit holders from taking guns into buildings where no-gun signs are posted makes it possible for people to take guns inside schools that don’t post the signs, a national gun-control group said.

The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, in its annual ranking of gun laws across the U.S., gave Kansas and three other states its “Craziest Gun Laws” award.

Kansas was given the award because of the law, signed last month by Gov. Sam Brownback.

“We want to prevent the next Tucson, Virginia Tech or Columbine,” said Paul Helmke, president of the Washington, D.C.-based Brady Campaign. “It’s too easy now for dangerous people to get guns and to legally carry them in all sorts of public places.”

But state and local officials say the new law only clarifies, but doesn’t change, existing law governing concealed weapons, The Wichita Eagle reported.

“If those (signs) are posted, individuals cannot carry (firearms) into those buildings,” said Chuck Sexson, director of the concealedcarry prog ram for the Kansas Attorney General’s Office.

“Most schools around the state have posted their buildings. ... So that hasn’t changed.”

Other states receiving the award were Utah, Florida and Virginia.

Johnson started the organization in 1988 and has dedicated her life to rehabilitating wild animals. In busy times, 12- to 14-hour days are the norm, she said.

The organization doesn’t charge for services but takes donations. With a few grants, Operation Wildlife, which also has a Shawnee office, gets by “on a wish and a prayer,” Johnson said.

Dedicated volunteers, such as Rucker, who all work at least eight hours a week, provide the free labor. For the retired Rucker, who drives in from Olathe at least once a week, Operation Wildlife helps him make use of a master’s degree in zoology he didn’t use in his work life.

Growth gamble Determining the proper timing for a new sewage treatment plant for Lawrence is a tricky proposition.

I

t shouldn’t come as a surprise that the choices surrounding a new sewage treatment plant for the city of Lawrence aren’t very appealing. Nothing about that subject ever is.

But Lawrence city commissioners are facing a particularly tough decision about when to begin designing and building an $80 million to $90 million sewage treatment plant south of the Wakarusa River.

City leaders long have known that Lawrence’s lone sewage treatment plant has a finite capacity — likely reaching its limits when the city grows to around 100,000 to 110,000 residents. City leaders also have known that it will take about four years to design and bring a new sewage treatment plant on line. What city leaders are struggling to determine is how quickly the city will grow.

During this summer’s budget deliberations, commissioners will have to decide whether 2012 is the year to start designing the project.

If so, sewer rates will rise significantly, almost certainly by more than 10 percent.

If city commissioners act now, monthly sewer bills will rise dramatically with no guarantee that a new plant will be needed in the near future. If they wait to start the project, the city in the next five years could have to say no to some developments because it doesn’t have adequate sewer capacity.

It is a delicate decision for sure, but commissioners should be cautious about making significant rate increases to start the project in 2012.

Commissioners should take more time with the subject, in part, because they are dealing with incomplete information. The population of the city is a key factor in determining when this plant will be needed. Determining the city’s population has been tricky of late. The U.S. Census Bureau’s official count put the city’s 2010 population at 87,643 people. But the city’s planning department has estimated the population at 91,464 people. The difference of nearly 3,800 people is significant in determining how quickly our sewage plant will reach its capacity.

Also important is how fast the city is expected to grow. In the 1990s, the city’s population grew at an average rate of about 2.2 percent per year. In the 2000s, it grew at about 0.9 percent per year. What does the city expect the growth rate to be in the current decade? It is not clear that the city has a firm answer. It seems that the city would be well-served to have a serious discussion about what are reasonable expectations for growth given the new realities of the economy.

Ultimately, however, the city will be asked to make a bet on the future. Like all bets, there are risks on both sides. Having the best information available, though, should make city commissioners feel better about wherever they choose to place their wager.

OLD HOME TOWN

From the Lawrence Daily JournalWorld for May 31, 1911: “Never has so elaborate a scheme of decoration been attempted in Lawrence YEARS as is being planned to welcome the old AGO grads who come back to attend the UniIN 1911 versity commencement next week. The Great White Way will be converted into a triumphal arch adown whose color-wreathed columns returning ‘grads’ can ride the entire length of Massachusetts without getting from beneath the protecting shade of the ‘red and blue.’ From the moment commencement visitors leave the train at prettily decorated depots until they reach the gorgeously adorned campus they will be confused by a rioting mass of clever unique designs worked out in the blending red and blue of their alma mater.”

GOP struggles to set unified vision This is Memorial Day weekend. Fourteen weeks from now is Labor Day weekend. In those 14 weeks — a period roughly one and a half times longer than the general election season next year — the Republicans have a lot of work to do.

In perhaps no time in threequarters of a century — since the fight for the 1936 Republican nomination — has either party fielded as weak a field of presidential candidates as the Republicans present today. In no time in

David Shribman the challenge for “theButRepublicans is that

the party lacks a guiding core that can help give shape to the race.”

nearly a half-century — since the Democratic upheaval of 1968 — has a major party seemed so confused about its future and divided about its vision.

No one can convincingly argue that the Republicans’ survival as a major force in American political life is in jeopardy. In fact, it is plausible to argue that the Republicans’ prospects are brighter today than at any time since 1981, when Ronald Reagan was inaugurated and had a formidable cast of supporting actors in the Senate, led by Howard H. Baker Jr. of Tennessee and Bob Dole of Kansas, both of whom would appear on almost any credible list of the greatest 25 senators of the 20th century.

Indeed, the last party to seem in danger of slipping from competitiveness was the Democratic Party in the early summer of 1992, when its candidate was running third in the polls, prompting GOP lawyers to examine a legal strategy to prove that it no longer was a legitimate political party and therefore was ineligible for federal matching campaign funds.

The fact that Bill Clinton roared back to win the 1992 election is a reminder of how swiftly a major party can rebound. But for the Republicans to rebound in presidential politics by the general election of 2012 they will have to use the next 14 weeks profitably and to answer several difficult questions that get at the conundrum of the season, which

is how a party with such a strong ran for the Democratic presidencongressional wing can have a tial nomination in 2008. “What presidential wing that is so weak: you’re seeing now is not what you’ll see later.” ● Is what you see what you get?

Longer school year worth study

By Gene A. Budig and Alan Heaps

In a matter of weeks, 16 million high school students will be on summer vacation. Many will be looking for work. But this is a difficult time to be a teenager. Of those seeking employment, only one in four is expected to find a job.

Why the especially grim outlook?

The economic recovery has been slow. Federal and state governments have not provided funding for teen jobs as they have in the past. The private sector sees fewer jobs than last year’s status quo.

And with national unemployment at 9 percent, teens are competing with out-of-work adults.

The result: Summer employment f igures have dipped sharply in the last decade.

According to Northwestern University’s Center for Market Studies, 27 percent of teens will have a job during the months of June, July and August. In the summer of 2000, the number was 40 percent. Last summer we reached the lowest teen employment rate since World War II, and the summer of 2011 could be even worse.

“Our students are caught in a troubling situation because of the shortage of summer jobs” warns Gaston Caperton, president of the College Board. “The overwhelming majority can’t earn money for college and they can’t gain work experi-

ence. This has to be very discouraging to our young folks, particularly those most in need. It sends the wrong messages about the importance of work.”

If there is a consolation from this bleak scenario it is that we are being forced to reconsider how students spend their Budig summers.

American students annually have fewer school days than students from many other nations. We have 180 days in school. Finland has 190. The Netherlands has 200. South Korea has 220. Japan has 243.

This partly explains why our students do not do well on international comparisons of education.

Extending the school year has long been part of conversations about improving education. In the 1980s after the National Commission on Education Excellence’s report, “A Nation at Risk,” 37 states entertained legislation to increase the amount of time their students spent in school. In the late 1990s, 14 states considered bills. But no action was taken.

“It would have been a smart thing to do,” Caperton says. “It still is.”

President Obama has said that this generation of stu-

dents can only remain competitive with their international peers as adults if they start spending more time in school. He has proposed that American school children extend their time in class, either by lengthening the school day, or spending less time on summer vacation.

Many educators agree that this is a sound policy.

In a tight-fisted Congress and state legislative bodies, this idea will receive little support even though many legislators have similar thoughts. But others, including representatives of business and industry, see the proposal as sound and needed if we are truly committed to having a competitive edge on the global front.

Suggestions: Think long-term about our nation and its students. All levels of government should find ways to increase summer work opportunities for the young (there is plenty to do and the price is right) and it is time for responsible minds to revisit and act on the crying need for an extended school year, one that will increase critical competitiveness in the U.S. — Gene Budig is the former president/chancellor of three major state universities (Illinois State University, West Virginia University, and Kansas University) and Heaps is a vice president at the College Board in New York.

Romney has gobs of money, enough already probably to finance a campaign in 2016, too.

Others are not so well equipped for a long fight.

Many Republicans want Gingrich out of the race, believing that his running up hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt to buy jewelry isn’t even half the problem with his candidacy.

They feel about Gingrich the way Winston Churchill once described Charles de Gaulle: “Why, he’s selfish, he’s arrogant, he thinks he’s the center of the universe.” Churchill then added, to Harold Nicolson, the parliamentary secretary, “You’re right, he’s a great man!” Hardly anyone adds that last sentence about Gingrich, brilliant as a tactician and thinker but not as a popular political figure.

“They have got to settle on two candidates by the fall and get rid of the silly stuff that is a distraction,” says Gary Orren, professor of public policy at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government and author of a book on the New Hampshire primary. “In the end, Americans are serious about choosing a president.”

But the challenge for the Republicans is that the party lacks a guiding core that can help give shape to the race. The leading GOP figure is House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio. His Republican caucus is so fractured that he cannot possibly turn his attention away from Capitol Hill, especially with debt and debt-ceiling issues looming.

Like so many others, he’s on the sidelines, watching.

Horror Remix Tonight at 9 p.m. at the Bottleneck, 737 N.H., marks the first entry in the Horror Remix series. Popularized in Dallas by artist/editor E.J. Anttila, Horror Remix features three horror movies based around a specific theme, and are then edited down to their bare essentials: sex and violence. The movies are then shown in succession, creating a sort of vignette for the deeply disturbed. Oh, and the whole ordeal is hosted by a pair of sock puppets, Thunderclap and Cheesecake.

The name of tonight’s show is “Rush” and all three slasher movies take place in sororities. The event is free, but not for the weak-hearted, but if you’re a connoisseur of camp or a genuine fan of the genre, you’ll be right at home.

KANSAS FOOTBALL Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Ice: Move softball to fall His team didn’t advance to the Class 6A state tournament at Arrocha Ballpark, but Free State softball coach Lee Ice’s school was the host of the twoday event that concluded Saturday, so as long as he was there, he talked up an interesting idea.

Ice and many other softball coaches from large Kansas high schools would like to see the sport played in the fall, as Missouri and Nebraska do, instead of the spring.

The thinking: Softball loses more athletes to soccer than it would to volleyball, tennis and gymnastics. Plus, such a shift would give softball players more opportunity to play games in the spring/summer leagues not affiliated with school.

“Our kids don’t start until Memorial Day weekend or after and are done by the Fourth of July,” said Ice, who recently finished his second season as the Firebirds’ softball coach.

Ice sees a few other benefits to the move. First, some umpires work both sports, and if they were played in different seasons, the best umps would get more work, and the less talented ones wouldn’t work as many high school games.

Another benefit: College softball coaches would have more time to get out to see recruits in the fall than in the spring. As it is, Missouri and Nebraska softball players not only get to play more games (aside from school) and therefore develop more skill, they get more exposure, putting them at an advantage in the hunt for scholarship dollars and roster spots.

Softball state championships have a better shot at good weather now than in November, but for the regular season, rainouts would decrease in the fall.

Small schools, some of which don’t have soccer teams, might not like the idea, Ice said, because they would want their top athletes to be able to play both volleyball and softball.

The Kansas State High School Activities Association hasn’t officially been approached about it, and, Ice said, “It would take an act of Congress, almost, to make a major change like this.”

Regardless of when it’s played, Ice, a former Kansas University baseball player and Kansas City Royals minor leaguer who played third base alongside shortstop Buddy Biancalana, likes the sport of softball.

“It’s so much like baseball used to be played,” Ice said.

“Short game. Get ’em on, get ’em over, get ’em in, 1-0, 2-0.

The game’s the same, but the kids are a little bit different. Not as many girls grow up watching the game like boys do, so a lot of girls don’t play the game instinctively, and you have to teach them things you don’t have to teach boys. There are lot of tremendous athletes playing softball. Great arm strength, they can run and have great bat speed, but instinctively, they don’t know how to play the game as well.”

As is the case with many well-meaning high school coaches, Ice preaches that athletes shouldn’t treat sports as a life-or-death situation, do your best, but it’s just a game, yada, yada, yada. Then his team loses, and he feels as if he has been run over by a truck.

“Girls get over things a lot quicker than boys,” Ice said.

“Sometimes we’ll get on the bus, and you can’t tell if they won or lost. My assistants and I have a tough time handling that, but the girls do practice what we preach.”

KANSAS UNIVERSITY LINEBACKER PRINZ KANDE, RIGHT, SHARES a laugh with Steven Johnson during practice in this April 18 file photo at the KU practice fields. Kande, a sophomore, moved from safety to linebacker over the spring and is using his speed on the field to acclimate to the change.

Kande confident in change from safety to linebacker

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

If you can look past his size and focus solely on the type of player he is, you’ll realize that Kansas University sophomore Prinz Kande really has been a linebacker all along.

Recruited to KU to play safety and once called the best defensive prospect on the team by a former assistant coach, Kande moved to

linebacker during the offseason and spent the spring getting used to his new position. To his teammates, Kande seemed like a natural in his new spot.

“He was basically a linebacker at strong safety,” wide receiver Christian Matthews said. “He came down (to the line of scrimmage) a lot, so we got to (block) him anyway.”

To Kande, natural’s not quite the word.

“It’s a little bit different physically, but I’m getting the hang of it,” he said late during spring drills. “I’m a little more athletic, so I’m kind of using my speed and athleticism to my advantage.”

So far, no one knows that better than offensive lineman Jeff Spikes, who remembers salivating about the prospects for a pancake block during an encounter with the 5foot-11, 190-pound linebacker during one scrimmage this spring.

“I came across him a couple of times but, you know, Prinz is an athlete, and he’s pretty quick,” Spikes said. “Whenever I’m blocking him, it’s, ‘Oh, I’m about to block you, I’m about to block you, I’m about to cut you,’ and then I see he ran around me. That’s pretty much what it is.”

Decorated Mrkonic dies at 81

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Journal-World File Photo

FORMER KANSAS FOOTBALL ALL-AMERICAN GEORGE MRKONIC DIED on May 23 after a long battle with cancer. He was 81.

George Mrkonic, one of 13 first-team All-Americans ever to put on a Kansas University football helmet, died after a long battle with cancer on May 23. He was 81.

Mrkonic, an offensive lineman who played tackle at KU from 1950-52, was named an All-American following the 1951 season.

He also was a two-time All-Big Seven selection and was regarded by many as one of the finest offensive linemen ever to play at KU. “He was the perfect example

of what every coach is looking for, on the football field and in the classroom,” said former KU coach Don Fambrough, who helped recruit Mrkonic and headed up the freshman team in 1950. “He loved KU, and he was one of the greatest players I ever coached. I don’t know what else to say about him. I can’t praise him enough.”

While those who saw him play have spent the past few days remembering all the wonderful things about him, Mrkonic never let his devotion to his alma mater be questioned. Diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer more than three years ago, he continued to

attend all of KU’s home football games. As the years passed, Mrkonic’s tales of his KU days increased. In fact, his wife, Ruth, relayed a story Monday night about the way in which her husband introduced himself to new acquaintances throughout the years.

“His name’s on the stadium,” Ruth said. “That’s the first thing he tells people when he meets them: ‘It’s the third one up there on the stadium.’”

That’s not arrogance. That’s pride.

Free-agent champs, Heat seek bigger win MIAMI (AP) — LeBron James and Dwyane Wade joked often, smiled easily, answered thoughtfully.

A few minutes later, Dirk Nowitzki bounded up to a podium and offered a big “How we doin!” to the assembled media.

You’d never know only one of them is a “good guy.”

Less than a year after solidifying their place as the NBA’s villains with their high-profile partnership last summer, James, Wade and the Miami Heat are in the NBA finals against the Dallas Mavericks and Nowitzki, being portrayed as a sort of anti-James for sticking with his home team instead of taking the easy way out and going elsewhere for a better shot at a title.

did to celebrate winning the championship of July, better look away.

The Heat are just four wins from the first of several titles that many predicted when James bolted Cleveland for South Florida.

The way it happened bothered plenty, but James only cares about the result.

“You know, we’ve got a lot of flack this year, mostly because of myself. And we’ve tried to use that as motivation every day we get on the basketball court,” James said Monday. “But just play the game of basketball. That’s all we can do is play the game of basketball at a high level. Play Miami Heat basketball.”

Five years after Wade largely overwhelmed the Mavericks by himself to win the Heat’s first championship, the teams arrive at Game 1 of the rematch tonight through decidedly different constructions.

The Heat essentially sacrificed seasons for salary-cap space, making the playoffs through Wade’s greatness but with no realistic chance of winning. But the gamble paid off in July, when James and Chris Bosh agreed to come and Wade committed to stay, giving Miami the Nos. 1,

2 and 3 players on perhaps the greatest free-agency list in NBA history.

Nowitzki’s name was on it, too, and he even said he would have listened if James and Wade had tried to recruit him. His preference was to remain in Dallas, as long as owner Mark Cuban would do what it takes to give the big German another shot at a ring.

“Ultimately, that’s where my heart was at. I almost felt like we had unfinished business after ’06,” Nowitzki said. “Had a great meeting with Mark there, free agency.

All I needed was reassurance that he was going to keep going and keep building around this team, and keep putting all his resources for us to hopefully be up there one day.

We’re here again at the big stage.

Hopefully we can turn it around this year and finish strong.”

COMMENTARY

‘Cheaty McSweater’ indeed

By Patrick Reusse (Minneapolis) Star Tribune

John Cooper took Arizona State to the Rose Bowl and defeated Michigan in January 1987. Ohio State enjoys it so much when Michigan loses in football that, a year later, Cooper was hired to replace Earle Bruce as the Buckeyes coach.

Cooper lasted 13 years in Columbus, even though he had two major flaws: He couldn’t win bowl games (3-8) and he couldn’t beat Michigan (2-10-1).

He was fired after the 2000 season. The two finalists to replace him were Youngstown State’s Jim Tressel and Minnesota’s Glen Mason. Ohio State went for Tressel, the I-AA coach, over Mason, who played for Woody Hayes.

On Monday, Tressel’s 10-year run of winning big (106-22) and beating Michigan (9-1), ended when he was forced out in the midst of a growing scandal.

Tressel gained quick popularity in Columbus by taking his 2001 team to Michigan and upsetting the Wolverines 2620. And then he changed the rivalry dramatically in February 2002, signing a recruiting class of 26 that included Maurice Clarett, Troy Smith, Santonio Holmes, Nick Mangold, A.J. Hawk and Rob Carpenter.

Ohio State has a spectacular stadium and tremendous facilities. There is a passion for the Buckeyes in Columbus that rivals what you can find for any college football team in any city.

Yet, you saw Tressel moving around in his half-sweater, looking like a dweeb, and you heard his pathetic answers to even the most bland questions, and there was always the thought: “How could someone this vanilla be the coach to turn a table on Michigan in landing exceptional athletes?”

And: “How could such a bore build the relationship with Ted Ginn Sr., the coach at Cleveland Glenville, that would allow OSU to sign 90 percent of that city’s great players?”

There were suspicions about what was going on in Columbus as far back as Clarett.

That was 2003 — about the same time a friend told me about an underground nickname another gentleman in the Ohio media had applied to Tressel: “Cheaty McSweater.”

The Clarett mess wasn’t the end of it. In 2004, Smith, the backup quarterback, was suspended for a bowl game and the next season opener for accepting $500 from a booster. Smith won the 2006 Heisman.

Tressel kept on skating.

It seemed as if “Cheaty McSweater” would remain an inside joke — not Tressel’s legacy.

And then a year ago, the Feds raided the home of a suspected Columbus drug dealer and found a trove of Buckeyes memorabilia. As it turned out, Edward Rife owned a tattoo parlor, and we soon discovered that the football-playing youth of America would trade most anything to get “Mom” with a heart and arrow on a bicep.

Tressel was tipped off in April 2010 through an email that players were breaking NCAA rules by exchanging Big Ten championship rings and gold pants (for beating Michigan) for tattoos and/or cash.

He didn’t tell his bosses. He lied in September when filling out a form as to whether he had knowledge of NCAA rules violations. He lied to school officials.

Tressel has attached his name to two books on faith and integrity, and he’s now an admitted liar — changing his story each time new facts surfaced.

Way back in 2003, it was a car and Clarett that made you wonder about Tressel, and eight years later, it’s official: He was Cheaty McSweater.

Scandal-dogged Tressel resigns from Ohio St. COLUMBUS, OHIO — At the bottom of the stunning resignation letter that he carefully typed in his office on Monday morning, in the last lines above his characteristically neat and clear signature, Ohio State coach Jim Tressel closed with a personal note.

“We know that God has a plan for us and we will be fine,” he wrote, referring to himself and his wife, Ellen.

“We will be Buckeyes forever.”

But no longer will he be the Buckeyes coach.

Tressel, who guided Ohio State to its first national title in 34 years, resigned Monday amid NCAA violations from a tattoo-parlor scandal that sullied the image of one of the country’s top football programs.

He said the ongoing investigations and drumbeat of almost daily, sordid revelations were a “distraction” to the university and that he was stepping down “for the greater good of our school.”

Scheduled to go before the NCAA’s committee on infractions in August for lying to the NCAA and then covering it up — the most egregious of sins for a coach in the eyes of college sports’ ruling body — Tressel might just have accepted the inevitable.

Ohio State announced that assistant coach Luke Fickell, already tapped to take over for Tressel during his self-imposed five-game suspension for his violations, will be the Buckeyes coach for the 2011 season. Ohio State will begin looking for a permanent coach who will take over next year.

It was a startling fall for the coach who wrote books about faith and integrity while sidestepping several major NCAA violations over the years. They dated to his days as the ultrasuccessful coach at Youngstown State, where he won four Div. I-AA national titles, through a decade as Ohio State’s coach where he posted a 106-22 record.

The abrupt resignation, first reported by The Columbus Dispatch, capped six months of turmoil in the program.

In December, five Ohio State players — including star quarterback Terrelle Pryor — were found to have received cash and discounted tattoos from the owner of a local tattoo parlor who was the subject of a federal drug-trafficking case. All were permitted by the NCAA to play in the Buckeyes’ 31-26 victory over Arkansas in the Sugar Bowl, with their suspensions to begin with the first game of the 2011 season.

After the team returned from New Orleans, Ohio State officials began preparing an appeal of the players’ sanctions. It was then that investigators found that Tressel had learned in April 2010 about the players’ involvement with the parlor owner, Edward Rife.

Tressel had signed an NCAA compliance form in September saying he had no knowledge of any wrongdoing by athletes. His contract, in addition to NCAA rules, specified that he had to tell his superiors or compliance department about any potential NCAA rules violations. Yet he did not tell anyone, except to forward emails to Ted Sarniak, reportedly a “mentor” for Pryor back in his hometown of Jeannette, Pa. Also Monday, The Columbus Dispatch reported that Pryor is the subject of a “significant” inquiry by the NCAA and Ohio State regarding cars and other improper benefits he may have received.

TENNIS ‘Anxious’ Nadal advances PARIS — Decoding Rafael Nadal’s self-evaluations can be a tricky proposition.

Listen, for example, to the way the top-seeded Nadal spoke about his game and his mindset after handling 37th-ranked Ivan Ljubicic of Croatia, 7-5, 6-3, 6-3, Monday to reach the quarterfinals at the French Open, improve his record there to 42-1 and get closer to tying Bjorn Borg’s record of six championships in Paris.

Nadal chastised himself for being “too anxious.” He said he needs to “hit the ball with a little bit more conviction.” Looking at the big picture, Nadal insisted: “The thing is, you have to be (a) realist, and today, I’m not playing well enough to win this tournament.”

Next he’ll face No. 5 Robin Soderling of

Sweden, the only man to defeat Nadal at the French Open — in the fourth round in 2009.

It’s also a rematch of last year’s final, which Nadal won in straight sets.

While Nadal and Soderling both advanced with relative ease Monday, 34th-ranked Juan Ignacio Chela of Argentina put in a lot of work before edging Alejandro Falla of Colombia, 4-6, 6-2, 1-6, 7-6 (5), 6-2, to return to the Roland Garros quarterfinals for the first time since 2004.

Chela will play No. 4 Andy Murray or No. 15 Viktor Troicki, whose match was suspended because of darkness tied at two sets each.

Maria Sharapova went two years without getting to the quarterfinals at a Grand Slam tournament, but she made it back by erasing deficits in both sets and beating 12th-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland, 7-6 (4), 7-5.

Sharapova’s quarterfinal opponent will be No. 15 Andrea Petkovic of Germany, who defeated No. 25 Maria Kirilenko, 6-2, 2-6, 6-4. Another quarterfinal will have No. 4 Victoria Azarenka of Belarus against No. 6 Li Na of China.

He also triumphed in 2005 on his way to a series championship. Wheldon has six topfour finishes in nine career Indianapolis 500 starts, including second, second and first in the last three years, respectively.

JAYHAWKS IN THE NBA

Collison relishes run with OKC Oklahoma City power forward Nick Collison, who signed a lucrative, creative four-year contract extension last November, made a grand total of $13.3 million during the 2010-11 season.

The 6-foot-10 former Kansas University standout — he guarded Memphis’ Zach Randolph in a victorious seven-game Western Conference semifinal series and Dirk Nowitzki in a five-game loss in the finals — worked hard for the money.

“It’s the best postseason I’ve had overall,” Collison, who averaged 6.7 points, 5.8 rebounds and 24.3 minutes in 17 Thunder playoff games, said in his postseason exit interview on nba.com.

“I’ve had some good stretches. I almost averaged a double-double for two years but on non-winning teams,” Collison added.

The eight-year veteran averaged 9.6 points and 8.1 rebounds for Seattle in 200607 and 9.8 points and 9.4 boards in ’07-08 — Collison’s last season in Seattle before the franchise moved to OKC.

“This was the most fun I’ve had playing just because in the playoffs we’re playing for more (on) a bigger stage, I guess. It’s the best I’ve felt the last couple years for sure.”

The 30-year-old Collison — he’ll make $3,272,997 next season, $2,929,332 in 2012-13, $2,585,668 in ’13-14 and $2,242,003 in ’14-15 — missed training camp as he Collison rehabbed from last May’s arthroscopic knee surgery.

He went on to average 4.6 points and 4.5 boards in 71 regular-season games.

“I think going into the season I didn’t know what to expect. You are always a little apprehensive if you have surgery,” Collison said. “Not being able to go to training camp, there’s always in back of your mind, ‘Am I going to be able to come back the same?’

“Early in the year, I didn’t feel great, but I felt I was probably going to be OK. By the end, my body felt a lot better.

I had more spring in my legs.”

He said the past season was his most rewarding.

“The success we had in being part of a team that won as many games as we did (5527 regular-season mark) ... to get to the Western Conference finals is the first thing that pops into my mind as the best year of my career,” he said.

He believes the Kevin Durant-led Thunder will get better.

“This year we made more steps. The natural progression is to want more,” Collison said. “The biggest thing is not to just say we want to move on. Everybody wants to have a chance at a championship. The key is the teams that can put in the work and get better in the process of ‘every day.’ That’s what we’ve been good at so far.”

brough. Mrkonic was a coach’s dream, the kind of player who dealt in ‘Yes, sir’ ‘No, sir’ sentences and did whatever was asked no matter what the situation.

“Coach Sikes just loved him,” Fambrough said. “Loved him. Coach Sikes was one of the toughest coaches I’d ever been around, and George Mrkonic was his type of player. Every coach would’ve loved to have him.”

In 2003, the program’s Defensive Scout Team of the Year award was named in Mrkonic’s honor. In addition, the auditorium at the Anderson Family Football Complex also bears his name.

In lieu of a funeral, Ruth said the family would have a small gathering to honor her late husband. She also said the family had asked that anyone desiring to make a charitable donation in Mrkonic’s name do so however they see fit.

“I think he was honored in life,” Ruth said. “He was sick for a long time, and we had all come to terms with it. All except him. He just loved life so much, and he just thought he could put it off indefinitely. He’s gotten a really extended time here so he can’t complain.”

Turner Gill and defensive coordinator Carl Torbush. Set at safety with young, talented players Bradley McDougald, Keeston Terry and Lubbock Smith, the KU coaching staff deemed Kande physical enough to handle it and fast enough to add much-needed speed to the linebacking corps. Kande admitted to having one serious worry when he heard the news.

“That was the first concern, ‘Am I big enough to be able to take on those linemen inside?’” he said. “I’m usually a team player, so anything to help the team, but inside my head, I was like, ‘Man.’ But it’s not as bad as it seems.”

Kande’s quickness will allow the Jayhawks to drum up different defensive schemes to take advantage of his skill-set. Because he’s used to pass defense, Kande most often has been used against spread formations, where he has been asked to cover tight ends or slot receivers.

“I like hitting, it’s just that I need to get stronger to be able to take on what a linebacker takes on,” he said. “I’m not used to coming downhill and taking on a big fullback, but I like hitting. I enjoy doing that.”

That Kande has been able to hold his own while switching positions is impressive because of his background.

After moving to Texas from France at age 11, he didn’t start playing football until seventh grade.

He went on to become a star at Euless Trinity High, and that led to scholarship offers from Kansas, New Mexico and Wisconsin, as well as serious interest from about two dozen other programs.

At the time, the idea of paying for college through athletics was a dream come true for Kande’s family. So, to them, it didn’t matter what position Kande played or if he was the star of the team or not. The funny thing is, all these years later, it still doesn’t. In fact, midway through spring drills, Kande still hadn’t even told his family that he had changed positions.

“I told a couple of my friends that go to other schools,” he said. “But my mom doesn’t really know that much about football. If I told her, she’d just be like, ‘OK. What position is that?’ We’re not from here, so we’re not really used to football. She loves the sport, but she doesn’t really know what’s going on. All she knows is touchdown and this and that.”

His mom may not know much about the switch, but Kande’s teammates do, and many of them believe Kande found the right spot to become a playmaker.

“Once he gets over that mental factor, he can accomplish it,” Spikes said. “Football is football. Once he lets himself open up, I’m pretty sure he’ll be really good. He has it.”

McKeesport, Pa., on Dec. 17, 1929, Mrkonic came to Lawrence because of the efforts of his high school coach, who made a connection with then-KU head coach J.V. Sikes and helped his standout player find a place to play college ball.

While here, Mrkonic, a member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity, helped KU to a 21-9 record, including an 8-2 mark in 1951 and a 7-3 record in 1952.

After leaving KU, Mrkonic was drafted in the fourth round of the 1953 NFL Draft by the Philadelphia Eagles.

He played one season with the Eagles and one season in the Canadian Football League.

Later, he went on to become a lieutenant colonel in the Air Force Reserves.

Mrkonic reflected fondly on his time at KU. “It certainly turned out to be everything that he would’ve wished that it would be,” Ruth said.

There was a reason for that, according to Fam-

those pitching decisions. I wanted to give Jack another opportunity to see if he could go out and get over the hump.”

Soria, who blew a save Sunday at Texas, has one save in five opportunities in May. He failed to hold an 8-7 lead.

“It gets to a point now where if I continue to try to do that, it gets detrimental to not only our team, but to Jack, too,” Yost said. “It’s time to step up and make a change and let him take a step back, get himself together and then take over that closer’s role sometime in the near future.”

Soria (3-3) saved 43 games in 46 opportunities last season and has been an All-Star two of the past three years. He has a 6.55 ERA after blowing five saves in 12 opportunities this season. He had never blown more than three saves in any previous year.

“It’s the right time to do it,” Soria said. “Where I close games, I don’t want to be part of this losing streak. The team is playing really good, and

Now in its sixth summer season, “America’s Got Talent” (7 p.m., NBC) creates its own brand of magical makebelieve. With the exception of football season, it’s the only time of year NBC can make believe it is a competitive network.

How bad are things at NBC? With every passing day of NFL lockouts, it grows more ominously possible that there might not be a football season or a “Sunday Night Football.” Yikes. And just last week it was announced that “Law & Order: SVU,” one of the network’s few remaining competitive shows, would be going forward without star Chris Meloni. That news came only after it was announced that his co-star Mariska Hargitay would appear in only a limited number of “SVU” episodes. And that happened only after the host of the durable “Celebrity Apprentice” stunk up the network and its sponsors with a pointlessly inane presidential flirtation that featured profane rants and not-so-subtle appeals to racism.

“The Office” hobbles on without its star and main character, and “30 Rock” won’t return until midseason. Hey, at least they’ve still got “Minute to Win It.” In addition to being popular and having seen its audience grow over successive seasons, “Talent” has actually discovered some remarkable talent who have gone on to perform well. OK, I haven’t exactly been following the career of last year’s winner Michael Grimm. But runner-up Jackie Evancho released a holiday album that sold a million copies. Not bad for a 10year-old! For all the buzz about finding the next big star, “Talent” never forgets that it is primarily a television spectacle and as such, its job is to deliver novelty and sensation. And what better words describe last year’s fourth-place runner-up, Prince Poppycock? I’m not sure what that guy will do as an encore, but he left an indelible impression.

“Talent” returns with last year’s panel of judges intact, Sharon Osbourne, Howie Mandel and Piers Morgan. Nick Cannon returns as host. As it did last summer, “Talent” begins with auditions delivered via YouTube. ● The History Channel continues its Civil War commemoration with the twohour documentary “Lee & Grant” (8 p.m., History), a joint biography of the two most famous generals of that conflict. Like last night’s “Gettysburg,” this film features graphic re-enactments of battle scenes and impressive computer-generated imagery. ● Fans who haven’t yet tired of “Biggest Loser Couples” or “Extreme Makeover Weight Loss Edition” or “Shedding for the Wedding” can turn to “Love Handles: Couples in Crisis” (9 p.m., Lifetime).

Tonight’s other highlights ● A return to underdog status on “Glee” (7 p.m., Fox). ● A special edition of “20/20” (7 p.m., ABC) looks at reality television. ● “Great Performances” (7 p.m., PBS, check local listings) celebrates Carnegie Hall’s 120th birthday. ● Competition continues on “The Voice” (9 p.m., NBC). ● Posh people renovate with a vengeance on “Million Dollar Decorators” (9 p.m., Bravo).

The spouse knows and accepts. As long as both partners agree, we say to each his (or her) own.

Dear Stuck: Sherwin is manipulative. He charmed you into marriage, then intimidated and bullied you to get his way, and finally stole from you and walked out. Now he is playing on your sympathy in order to get back into your life. We wouldn’t trust him, either. In fact, we’d run as far away as possible. You can feel sorry for him from a distance.

Dear Annie: I’ve been married to “Sherwin” for two years. We are both in our 50s.

He has two grown children, and I have two teenagers who still live with us.

Before we married, I thought Sherwin was perfect for me. We enjoyed everything together, and he made me feel special. Once we said “I do,” however, I saw a different side. He spent most evenings on his computer or watching TV, no longer helped around the house and only wanted to pay onefourth of the bills since my two children and I also live here.

I own my home. Sherwin threatened to leave me if I didn’t put his name on the deed.

I refused since our marriage had been so rocky. So a month ago, he left, taking our savings and all my jewelry with him. I have not let him back into the house.

He has apologized over and over and returned the money and jewelry. I am not mad at him, Annie. I just don’t trust him. He begs me not to give up and promises to do better.

I have seen a counselor, who reminds me that my job is to take care of my kids and myself and not be swayed because I feel sorry for Sherwin. In my heart, I believe I

Halladay allowed 10 hits and four runs over seven innings, striking out five without a walk. Howard and Ibanez hit back-to-back homers in the fourth and each drove in a run in Philadelphia’s seventh-inning rally for a victory Monday.
