School board open to discussing boundary change

By Mark Fagan mfagan@ljworld.com

SCHOOLS

The boundary that divides Free State and Lawrence high schools may not be going anywhere anytime soon, but officials who decide such matters are at least willing to discuss

that has stood for all 14 years since Free State opened northwest of Sixth Street and Folks Road.

The line, which runs along 15th Street and Bob Billings Parkway, sends those who live north to Free State and those who reside to the south to

Lawrence High.

“Boundaries are not permanent,” said Bob Byers, a board member who has two years remaining on his term. “We need to quit behaving like they are and move forward.”

The issue came up nearly a year ago, as members of the cur-

Monday night, several members of the Lawrence school board — including two of the three who will remain in office in July — indicated that they’d be willing to entertain options for adjusting or replacing the schools’ lone dividing line, one

DURING AN OUTDOOR SESSION SATURDAY, Gary Oatis, from left, Kirk Perez and ChuckWard, of the Pinnacle Career Institute, put together a homemade wind turbine as a class project. The institute offers a wind turbine career program because an increase in wind energy has created a need for more wind turbine technicians.

Demand for turbine technicians leads school to offer program

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

In the parking lot behind the 23rd Street Arby’s restaurant, the blades of a makeshift wind turbine slowly began to spin on a hot afternoon.

The group of Pinnacle Career Institute students who had spent the past several hours piecing the turbine together took a step back to evaluate their progress. The parts actually were items the students had brought from home.

“A leaf blower, PVC pipe and a keg is all it takes,” Kirk Perez said.

“American ingenuity right there,” classmate Greg Ford replied.

The two are among

more than 30 students who are taking an 11-month class to learn how to become wind turbine technicians. It’s the fastestgrowing program PCI offers at its Lawrence campus.

“The students come from pretty much everywhere and from every background you want to talk about,” said Mark Lee, one of the program’s instructors.

A parking lot in a Lawrence strip mall, more

than 100 miles from the closest wind farm, is an unlikely place for training turbine technicians.

But executive director Jeremy Cooper said there are good reasons for PCI offering the program in places such as Lawrence and Kansas City.

“When you get out into the areas where there are actual wind farms, there are not a whole lot of resources. The towns are very, very small. There are few businesses,” he said.

A large part of the interest in the program is due to the promise of jobs in coming years.

In 2013, it’s expected the wind industry will have only about 50 percent of the people it will need to

maintain the country’s fleet of turbines, Lee said.

“The job openings are going to be wide open for anyone who wants to be a wind turbine technician,” Lee said.

Inside the classroom, PCI has small-scale versions of what students will one day call their office: wind turbines that cost $2.3 million and tower 300 feet in the air.

For now, there’s an $18,000 turbine that stands about 5 feet high, a fraction of the size of a real one. But it gives students an opportunity to examine how the mechanics work.

PCI started the program in Lawrence last October.

Survey: Lawrence crime rates exceed average

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

ONLINE: See the full report at LJWorld.com

As the Lawrence City Commission prepares to discuss resources for the Lawrence Police Department in a study session at 4 p.m. today at City Hall, numbers from a recent survey including 27 other cities showed Lawrence’s crime rate was higher than the average in many categories.

Lawrence Police Chief Tarik Khatib, who was promoted to the job in February, has said the department needs more patrol officers to help with a community policing initiative aimed at reducing crime.

Khatib has requested $1.2 million from the commis-

sion to add 10 patrol officers, a detective and three sergeants and some equipment. It Khatib would amount to a 1.4-mill increase to the city’s property tax rate, or $32 per year more annually for the owner of a $200,000 home.

The study session also could involve discussion about long-term plans for the department, including a desire to have the department housed in one facility.

“I hope we can come up with a five- to seven-year plan to address both (staffing and facilities). It’s tight right now,” city Com-

missioner Hugh Carter said.

“But the first thing we need to get a handle on is to find out what we’re really up against and to come up with a timeline.”

Here are some statistics from the 2010 Benchmark City Survey, which includes 28 police departments in cities from across the nation:

Crimes per 1,000 residents ● Lowest: Naperville, Ill., 16.0 ● Highest: Springfield, Mo., 103.7 ● Average among cities: 33.6 ● Lawrence: 47.4 (27th highest of 28) Violent crimes per 1,000 residents ● Lowest: Edmond, Okla., Naperville, 0.9

● Highest: Springfield,

8.3

● Average: 2.7 ● Lawrence: 3.6 (24th

highest)

Property crimes per 1,000 residents ● Lowest: Naperville, 15.1 ● Highest: Springfield, Mo., 95.4 ● Average: 31.0 ● Lawrence: 43.7 (27th highest) Domestic violence offenses per 1,000 residents ● Lowest: Edmond, 0.6 ● Highest: San Angelo, Texas, 16.7 ● Average: 5.7 ● Lawrence: 8.6 (22nd highest)

TOPEKA — An overhaul by Gov. Sam Brownback of the $2.8 billion taxpayer-funded Medicaid program is in the works.

On Monday, Brownback’s point man on the effort, Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer, announced there will be three public forums on Medicaid, the first being next week Colyer in Topeka.

“It is essential to Governor Brownback and me that we receive guidance from Kansans while we work to reform our state’s Medicaid system,” Colyer said.

“These forums will provide Kansans from across the state the opportunity to give their input about health care in their communities. We look forward to working collaboratively with our fellow Kansans to f ind Kansas solutions for Kansas health care needs,” he said.

Medicaid is the federal-state funded program that provides health and long-term care services to several groups of lowincome Kansans, including children, pregnant women, families, the elderly and those with disabilities.

Wind CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

By August, the first round of students will finish their training in a two-week boot camp in Sweetwater, Texas, home to one of the country’s largest wind farms.

Along with not being afraid of heights, prospective students should have clean driving records, be willing to travel and, above all, be focused on safety.

“When you are 300 feet up in the middle of nowhere, should something happen, you are not going to have an ambulance there in five minutes,” Lee said.

Before teaching, Lee had five years of experience in the wind industry and had climbed more than 1,000 turbines. He spent the first half of his experience working as a safety instructor for GE — the second half as a technician for UpWind Solutions.

Traditionally, the wind industry has pulled turbine technicians from the airline or automotive fields. But courses such as the one PCI offers gives students a “leg up” when they begin the job search, Lee said.

One recent afternoon, the classroom’s diversity was apparent.

Chelsei McBee, a 23-yearold with experience in landscaping, said she always had an interest in alternative

energy. She wants to work on offshore turbines and maybe one day own a wind turbine installation company.

“I’ve always been very environmental about so many things,” McBee said. “It is very interesting to me to be able to try to change something. Coal and everything else is not going to last very long if we keep on going as we are now.”

Charles Ward, 45, makes the 90-minute drive from Junction City to take the class.

He sees an opportunity in an up-and-coming industry.

“When you are my age and you have to start over, it is very hard,” Ward said. “So, hopefully, this is going to be a continuing field of work.”

Ward was at the center of the group of students building the wind turbine. As the blades spun around, Lee looked on with satisfaction.

“I think they passed their final,” Lee said. “They definitely have the concept.”

Man pleads no-contest in apartment burglary A third co-defendant has entered a plea in connection with a Dec. 3 burglary at a Louisiana Street apartment.

Kyle Peterson, 21, entered a no-contest plea to one count of attempted aggravated burglary Monday as prosecutors dismissed a count of conspiracy to commit robbery.

Douglas County prosecutors accused Peterson of taking part in a foiled burglary with three other people late Dec. 3 in the 1100 block of COURTS Louisiana Street. The attempt was eventually interrupted by Lawrence police, and Michael Hammond, 20, and Peterson and two women, Shelby Sprauer, 21, and Kayla Kling, 20, were arrested.

Sprauer has a trial scheduled for Aug. 3 on charges of conspiracy to commit burglary and aggravated burglary. Kling

and Hammond had already entered pleas in connection with the case.

According to prosecutors, Hammond entered a plea to two counts of conspiracy to commit burglary because he was connected to a robbery that occurred in the same apartment building one night earlier. Prosecutors say the accused robbers burst into the wrong apartment and used a gun to rob three female Kansas University students.

Three Wichita men faces robbery charges, and according to defense attorneys involved in that case, Hammond was accused of recruiting the three suspects to come to Lawrence because Hammond wanted to rob an alleged drug dealer.

District Judge Kay Huff is scheduled to sentence Peterson 8:30 a.m. July 18.

Hezbollah part of Lebanon’s new Cabinet

Women’s group wants apology from gov.

By Scott Rothschild

Hezbollah and its allies rose to a position of unprecedented dominance in Lebanon’s government Monday, giving its patrons Syria and Iran greater sway in the Middle East.

Lebanon Prime Minister Najib Mikati announced a new Cabinet dominated by the militant group and its allies after the country has operated for five months without a functioning government. The move caps Hezbollah’s steady rise over decades from resistance group against Israel to Lebanon’s most powerful mili- Brownback tary and political force.

Opponents of Hezbollah, which the U.S. considers a terrorist organization, say having it in control of Lebanon’s government could lead to international isolation. The group’s most ardent supporters are Iran and Syria, which dominated Lebanon for 29 years.

Syrian blogger admits hoax

lherring@desotoexplorer.com

A 40-year-old American man living in Scotland said Monday he’s sorry for posing as a Syrian lesbian blogger who offered vivid accounts of life amid revolt and repression in Damascus, a still-unraveling hoax that has exposed the difficulty of sifting truth from fiction online.

Tom MacMaster said he created the fictional persona of Amina Arraf and the “Gay Girl in Damascus” blog to draw attention to conditions in a Middle East convulsed by change.

“I never meant to hurt anyone,” the Edinburgh University grad student wrote in a long apology on the blog. The university said it had suspended MacMaster’s computer privileges while it investigated whether he had breached its rules.

Bryan Jessip, 18, of De Soto, died after his motorcycle collided with a minivan just before 5 p.m. Monday in the intersection of 115th Street and Waverly

Road in Lexington.

Johnson County Sheriff ’s deputies responded to the scene of the fatality crash at 4:45 p.m.

Deputies have not officially released Jessip's name, but it was confirmed by De Soto USD 232 officials early Monday evening.

The minivan was traveling eastbound on 115th Street, and the motorcycle was heading north on Waverly Road.

Jessip was pronounced dead at the scene. While the cause of the accident is still under investigation, deputies report that

Obama: ‘I would resign’ if I were Weiner President Barack Obama, increasing pressure on Rep. Anthony Weiner to quit, said Monday that “I can tell you that if it was me, I would resign.”

In a rare foray into a congressman’s ethical conduct, Obama told NBC’s “Today” show that Weiner’s sexually charged photos and messages online to several women were “highly inappropriate.”

“I think he’s embarrassed himself. He’s acknowledged that. He’s embarrassed his wife and his family.

Ultimately, there’s gonna be a decision for him and his constituents. I can tell you that, if it was me, I would resign,” the president said in an interview to air this morning.

Obama said public service “is exactly that, it’s a service to the public. And when you get to the point where, because of various personal distractions, you can’t serve as effectively as you need to at the time when people are worrying about jobs, and their mortgages, and paying the bills, then you should probably step back.”

“We set that schedule ... and I cannot let anybody interfere with that because I’m trying to show them that I value them and that I’m going to be there for them. Yes, you understand that Dad’s going to be gone quite a bit, but Dad says this day, this time, is with me.”

He says it is about the little things as well.

“I’m a Post-it note person,” Gill said. He’ll often write little notes on his daughters’ mirror or put one in their lunch boxes to continually remind them of family.

Because Gill has a family that extends beyond his home, he tries to apply fatherly techniques to his coaching life.

“God gave me two daughters.

As you know, I was going to be a coach so I’ve got thousands of sons,” Gill said. He refers to any football organization he’s a part of as a “family” and is always

The chief executive of the Kansas Turnpike Authority on Monday discussed decreased roadway travel, ongoing bridge replacement, a six-lane Interstate 70 and a range of other topics at a Lawrence Rotary Club meeting Monday.

Michael Johnston, a former state legislator who today serves as the turnpike’s president and CEO, said most Kansans probably don’t know a lot about the KTA. It’s not part of Johnston the Kansas Department of Transportation, and its headquarters are in Wichita and not Topeka, Johnston said. It also is self-supporting and operates without tax support from the state or federal government.

“We don’t do anything special,” he said. “We operate a toll road, and that’s all we do.”

Some of the topics discussed: ● Travel, budget woes: Travel on the turnpike fell after major events like the 9/11 terrorist attacks and Hurricane Katrina, Johnston said.

“All of our businesses are at the mercy of random events in the world that we can neither control or prevent,” he said.

The turnpike has trimmed its operating staff by about 15 percent, he said, and commercial business has fallen 10 percent

Clinton asks Africa to cut Gadhafi ties U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton pressed some of the world’s last remaining friends of Moammar Gadhafi to abandon Libya’s strongman and join the growing international demand for him to cede power. She told African nations that their solidarity with the Libyan people could make the difference for a peaceful future.

Culminating a volcano-shortened trip to the Gulf and three African nations, Clinton told diplomats at the African Union headquarters in Ethiopia’s capital that they needed to recognize that Gadhafi forfeited his legitimacy to rule by attacking his own citizens.

It represented a difficult call for unity. Gadhafi still has many friends in Africa after providing decades of military training and patronage for groups fighting apartheid and colonialism.

Gill said the toughest part of his job is being away from his family, and he discussed the hectic schedule that comes with the job as a Division I college football coach. Regardless of his crowded calendar, he stressed the importance of staying on track and committed to family.

Even with his busy schedule, Gill always sets aside two nights each week. His wife gets one of those nights, and his daughters take turns every other week for the second night of his undivided attention.

SOUND OFF

Q:

Has a former Kansas University basketball player ever won the NBA Finals MVP award?

A:

Yes. Since the award first was handed out in 1969, three different Jayhawks won it once. Wilt Chamberlain averaged 19.4 points and 23.2 rebounds in leading the Los Angeles Lakers to victory in a five-game series against the New York Knicks in 1972. JoJo White’s 21.7 points and 5.8 assists per game helped the Boston Celtics win a sixgame series against the Phoenix Suns in 1976. In 2008, Paul Pierce led the Celtics over the Lakers in six games by averaging 21.8 points, 4.5 rebounds and 6.3 assists.

No other school has had three different players win the trophy. Only two other schools can boast of more than one winner: UCLA: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (twice) and Bill Walton; and North Carolina: James Worthy and Michael Jordan (six times).

higher percentage of students who qualify for free and reduced lunches, and more minority students.

Back then, board members didn’t assert whether the current boundary line was ineffective — only that they wanted to get the discussion going. That official conversation started Monday night.

Perhaps not surprisingly, most of the evening’s enlightening opinions and observations came from board members whose terms end in less than a month: ● Scott Morgan urged incoming members to have a plan in mind before embarking on a plan to change boundaries — any boundaries. “This is an incredible time-sucker,” he said. “Right next to closing schools, it is the thing that lights people up.” Morgan also cautioned against the effects of potential “unintended consequences”; allowing students

to choose a high school based upon its academic offerings, for example, could allow students to “go shopping” for a school based on its football or baseball programs. ● Rich Minder wants the district to consider a variety of options regarding attendance. In the past he’s suggested giving students a choice, rather than an assignment, of where to go; different schools also might offer different programs to attract students from all over town, near or far. “If the discussion centers only on boundaries,” he said Monday, “then it restricts the imagination.” ● Mary Loveland, who helped identify and set the 15th Street boundary leading up to Free State’s opening, said she wasn’t sure that the two schools were as balanced today as they were then. “We may have to look at it (as a) ‘blank slate’ again,” she said.

Vanessa Sanburn, who joins Byers and Mark Bradford as having at least two years remaining in office, described creating bound-

sure to tell his players’ parents that he intends to treat their son as his own.

“I look at this as, for me, to try to help our society to bring better men and bring better families, better husbands, better fathers to our society through the game of football. ... I’m here to win football games, no question about that, but I’m also here to make sure these men understand how to value ... themselves ... and have a respect for all other people, no matter who they are.”

Because some players on the team come from singleparent households, Gill tries to put them in an environment in which they can see the interaction among him and his family, as well as the team’s other coaches and their families, and to experience a male presence within a family, if only for a few days a year.

since 2008. Today, the turnpike’s operating budget is about what it was in 2007, Johnston said.

“We’re just kind of bouncing along at those levels,” he said. ● Bridge replacement costs: Johnston said the bridge work over the Kansas River near Lawrence cost about $130 million. He said that’s nearly the cost for the

responsibility as a coach, as a teacher. I’m not only teaching the game of football — I’m teaching the game of life,” Gill said.

In his 20-plus years of coaching, some of Gill’s players have been fathers themselves, trying to balance being a football player and a dad. The top advice he gives them?

“Whatever you do, you need to be there when that child is born ... You forget about school. You forget about the game. You have to witness that,” he said.

Devin Zell, a single father from Lawrence, has a 3-yearold son and has been involved with Dads of Douglas County for about eight months.

“I really joined the group as an opportunity to reach out with other fathers and to learn from them; to find activities that I can participate in with him that were a little more

construction of the entire turnpike itself, which was built in just 21 months from 1954 to 1956.

“You can’t build a sidewalk today in 21 months,” he said. ● S i x- l a n e ro a d ways : Johnston was asked if there are any plans to expand the turnpike to six lanes between Lawrence and Kansas City.

“No,” he answered, adding that if the turnpike authority knew 10 years ago what it knows now about traff ic usage, it probably would not have expanded the road to six

aries that promote equality, safety, efficiency and academic achievement as “a worthy goal for us to look at.” Bradford did not address the issue during Monday’s meeting.

Two of four incoming board members attended Monday’s meeting: Rick Ingram and Shannon Kimball. After the meeting, each said specifics about how to address boundaries would need to emerge from the board’s upcoming goals-setting session, which also would include incoming board members Randy Masten and Keith Diaz Moore.

Ingram and Kimball acknowledged, however, that boundaries — all boundaries — would get plenty of attention from the new board.

“The primary goal has to be to maximize academic achievement,” Ingram said.

“You have to start there, then work backward … and boundaries need to be a part of that.”

structured than just playing Legos and putting puzzles together,” Zell said.

Zell moved to Lawrence 15 years ago to attend KU, but he could care less about football — he has never attended a game. His presence Monday night was solely to hear Gill speak from a father’s point of view.

“I really liked what coach mentioned about having a time to share a positive thing on a regular basis,” Zell said.

“I make it a constant point with my son to every night ask him about something that he’s proud of even though he’s 3 years old. I really like coach’s idea about keeping a family journal to start recording some of those memories that might otherwise be forgotten.”

Free State High School band to get new uniforms Free State High School’s marching band will get new uniforms for the coming year.

Monday night, members of the Lawrence school board agreed to pursue bids for buying 200 uniforms to replace the school’s 14-year-old originals. Estimated cost: $105,000.

“If we are going to have programs, we have to realize there are costs associated with those programs,” said Scott Morgan, a board member who acknowledged the district’s “horrendous” financial constraints. “If we’re going

to do it, we have to accept that responsibility.”

Board members will be expected SCHOOLS to approve buying the uniforms June 27, after receiving bids.

In other action, board members: ● Approved extending Superintendent Rick Doll’s two-year employment contract another year, through June 2013, at his current salary

of $153,011. ● Recognized Kathy Davis and Pete Curran as recipients of the district’s 2011 Outstanding Citizen Awards. ● Agreed to repave the drive lane between Lawrence High School’s main building and annex, and the south parking lot at Liberty Memorial Central Middle School; the board agreed to hire King’s Construction, for $152,750, to handle both jobs. ● Approved the 2012-13 district calendar, leaving the graduation date to be determined later.

Kansas NOW has called on DeGraaf to apologize, but he has refused. He has said his comments were taken out of context, but he has declined to say how.

The bill was approved by the Legislature and signed into law by Brownback.

Rinker said she had called Capitol police and was cleared to bring the tires into the building during the final day of the legislative session.

But as she set up outside the House chamber, an officer confiscated the tires.

She got the tires back and then placed them outside the building on the south steps for a news conference. Capitol police arrived and ordered her to remove them, but, after several minutes of discussion, they relented, she said. She then held the news conference.

“Freedom of speech is a guarantee to all citizens, even those with whom the current administration may disagree,” Rinker said in her letter. “I am requesting that an apology for this treatment be provided to me and my organization.”

The governor’s office did not comment on Rinker’s letter.

GOP presidential hopefuls use debate Experts: Economy needs time, not more Fed action to bash Obama instead of each other

BUSINESS AT A GLANCE

Notable ● U.S. airlines collected $3.4 billion for checked luggage last year, according to a government report issued Monday. That’s up 24 percent from 2009 and a big reason the industry made money again after three years of losses.

In 2010, the major airlines made a combined $2.6 billion in profits, less than they collected in bag fees. The fees — typically $50 round-trip for the first piece of checked luggage and $70 for the second — allow the industry to navigate between rising fuel costs and customers who expect rock-bottom airfares.

Delta generated the most revenue from bag fees — $952 million — followed by the combined United and Continental at nearly $655 million. American collected $580 million and US Airways $513 million, according to the Department of Transportation.

Monday’s markets Dow Industrials +1.06, 11,952.97 Nasdaq —4.04, 2,639.69 S&P 500 +0.85, 1,271.83 30-Year Treasury +0.02, 4.20% Corn (Chicago) —4.5 cents, $7.83 Soybeans (Chicago) —4.5 cents, $13.83 Wheat (Kansas City) —17 cents, $8.51 Oil (New York) —$1.99, $97.30 DILBERT

WASHINGTON — The best cure for the economy now is time.

That’s the overwhelming opinion of leading economists in a new Associated Press survey. They say the Federal Reserve shouldn’t bother trying to stimulate the economy — and could actually do damage if it did.

The economists are lowering their forecasts for job creation and economic growth for the rest of this year, mainly because of high oil prices.

A batch of bleak data over the past month has suggested that the 2-year-old economic recovery is slowing.

The economists now expect the nation to create 1.9 million jobs this year, about 200,000 fewer than when they were last surveyed eight weeks ago. They expect the unemployment rate, now 9.1 percent, to be 8.7 percent at year’s end. Before, they expected 8.4 percent.

Despite their gloomier outlook, 36 of the 38 economists surveyed oppose any further efforts by the Fed to invigorate growth. The Fed has already cut short-term interest rates to near zero. And it’s ending a program to buy $600 billion in Treasury bonds to keep longer-term rates low to help spur spending and hiring.

The economists say another round of bond-buying wouldn’t provide much benefit, if any. And some fear it could make things worse by

unleashing high inflation and disrupting financial markets.

When it buys bonds, the Fed in effect prints massive amounts of money. All that extra money in the system raises the nominal value of the things we buy, weakening the dollar, and it can create bubbles in the prices of stocks and commodities.

What the economy needs most, says John Silvia, chief economist at Wells Fargo, is time. Consumers must further shrink huge debts amassed in the mid-2000s.

And the depressed housing market needs time to recover from a collapse in prices and sales.

“There are no magic bullets,” Silvia says. “A lot of this stuff just really needs to be dealt with. It’s not a question of stimulus.”

In Washington, there’s little appetite for major spending projects to try to strengthen the economy. Lawmakers are focused instead on whether to raise the nation’s borrowing limit and how to cut its long-term debt.

President Barack Obama is seeking smaller ways to spur hiring. He traveled Monday to Durham, N.C., to announce a program to train 10,000 new American engineers each year.

Obama said private companies will join the government to promote education in science, technology, engineering and math. He said U.S. companies need the brightest American workers to remain leaders in technology and innovation.

MANCHESTER, N.H. — Republican White House hopefuls condemned President Barack Obama’s handling of the economy from the opening moments of their first major debate of the campaign season Monday night, and pledged emphatically to repeal his historic year-old health care overhaul.

“When 14 million Americans are out of work we need a new president to end the Obama Depression,” declared former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, the first among seven contenders on stage to criticize the president’s economic policies.

Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, invited as an unannounced contender for the 2012 nomination, upstaged her rivals for a moment, using a nationwide television audience to announce she had f iled papers earlier in the day to run — a disclosure in keeping with a feisty style she has employed in a bid to become a favorite of tea party voters.

Obama was hundreds of miles away on a day in which he blended a pledge to help companies create jobs in North Carolina with a series of campaign fundraisers in Florida. He won the two states in 2008, and both figure to be battlegrounds in 2012.

The New Hampshire event unfolded more than six months before the state hosts the first primary of the 2012 campaign, and the Republicans who shared a stage were plainly more interested in criticizing Obama than one another.

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who first sought the nomination in 2008, was the nominal front-runner as the curtain rose on the debate.

But the public opinion polls that made him so are notoriously unreliable at this point

in the campaign, when relatively few voters have begun to familiarize themselves with their choices.

Already, this race has had its share of surprises.

Several likely candidates decided not to run — Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour and Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels among them — and at least one who ruled out a race is reconsidering. Texas Gov. Rick Perry has said he will decide after the state Legislature completes its current session, and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s plans are still unknown.

Gingrich, quick off the mark in attacking Obama, suffered the mass exodus of the entire top echelon of his campaign last week, an unprecedented event that left his chances of winning the nomination in tatters.

All seven flashed their antiabortion credentials and were largely unified in opposition to same-sex marriage, which is legal in New Hampshire.

Several praised a proposed amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would define marriage as between one man and one woman, a position popular among conservative voters. Bachmann said she supported that, but she added that states have the right to write their own laws and said that if elected president, she would not step into state politics — a nod to tea partyers who cherish the Constitution’s 10th Amendment.

Obama’s rivals found little if anything to like in what the president has done since taking office in the midst of the worst economic recession since the Great Depression.

Former Sen. Rick Santorum accused Obama of pursuing “oppressive policies” that have shackled the economy.

Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty labeled Obama a “declinist” who views America “as one of equals around the world,” rather than a special nation.

U.S. allies wary of sharing global burden

EDITORIALS

Tough task The citizens group appointed last week to look at elementary school consolidation in Lawrence faces a daunting task.

T

he 26 members of the Central and East Lawrence Elementary School Consolidation Working Group already have been told that their task isn’t to debate whether consolidations should take place but rather to consider how schools in the central part of the city can be consolidated in the best possible way. There are sure to be many opinions about how consolidation should occur, and it would be easy for the working group to become mired in a divisive debate.

The makeup of the group seems to encourage some division. Each of the six schools being considered for consolidation — Cordley, Hillcrest, Kennedy, New York, Pinckney and Sunset — has three representatives, chosen from among names suggested by the school site councils, along with one at-large member and one or two teachers serving as nonvoting ex-officio members. The working group also includes two representatives from Woodlawn School, which isn’t part of the consolidation plan but may be affected by it.

All of these people represent a specific constituency: the students, parents and teachers at their individual schools. The district’s outline for the working group also calls for the group to be immediately divided into two committees: one that will focus on Hillcrest and Sunset Hill schools and one that will focus on Cordley, Kennedy and New York. Pinckney and Woodlawn representatives will be split between the two.

A chairman for the working group has not yet been appointed, but that person will play a key role in how well the group functions.

The end result for the working group, according to the district outline, is to “seek to reach agreement through consensus,” but all of the divisions seem to make that goal elusive. There would be a natural tendency for members to defend their own schools and perhaps form various alliances within the group to help benefit their own interests. They will have to be prepared to defend to their constituencies whatever plan the group supports.

We have no reason to believe that the people appointed to this working group want anything other than the best educational experience for the elementary students in their areas. The challenge, however, will be to broaden their views to include what is best for students in all the central city schools, as well as the financial interests of the district as a whole.

As we said, it’s a daunting task. We wish the working group well as they prepare to take it on.

WASHINGTON — There was some head-scratching in Washington last week at the presentation of the Medal of Freedom to German Chancellor Angela Merkel. The previous foreign recipients included Pope John Paul II, who championed the freedom of Eastern Europe; Nelson Mandela, who triumphed over apartheid in South Africa; and Helmut Kohl, who reunited Germany.

Did Merkel, for all her good qualities, really fit in that group?

“Why roll out the red carpet and present this honor to someone who has been a reluctant partner at best?” asks Stephen Szabo, who heads the German Marshall Fund’s Transatlantic Academy in Washington.

The truth is that the medal for Merkel was an aspirational award, similar in many ways to the premature 2009 Nobel Peace Prize for President Obama. It signaled hopes for the future, rather than actual past performance. As Szabo says, the administration decided to “celebrate the partner it wants, not the partner it has.” (Full disclosure: I’m a trustee at the GMF, where Szabo works.)

Merkel’s visit highlighted an interesting problem for Obama, which I would describe as his “partnership deficit.” It’s a paradox that this genuinely multilateralist administration, eager to break with the unilateral policymaking of George W. Bush, has had trouble finding reliable partners. Merkel is a case in point, despite all the nice words Obama spoke about her at last week’s state dinner.

“

Defense Secretary Bob Gates slammed home the point in a speech Friday in Berlin where he said the U.S. is tired of fighting for Europeans who ‘don’t want to share the risks and the costs.’”

Defense Secretary Bob Gates slammed home the point in a speech Friday in Berlin where he said the U.S. is tired of fighting for Europeans who “don’t want to share the risks and the costs.”

This is a world that resents American domination but is also wary of sharing the burden. Our allies don’t want to be followers, certainly, but they don’t want to share leadership, either. This deficit exists in every region, and it complicates Obama’s desire to offload some responsibilities at a time when U.S. f inancial resources are stretched.

Let’s start with Europe: Administration officials want the alliance with Europe to be a “catalyst for global change.” But in reality, this has been a relatively moribund period for the trans-

Atlantic relationship. Europe is preoccupied with its own problems. It talks about collective action through the European Union in Brussels, but actual policy decisions are still almost entirely centered in the national capitals. The EU today is a study in frustration, more than a catalyst.

The Libya mission illustrates the mixed blessings of shared responsibility. France and Britain are leading the NATO military effort, with the U.S. deliberately taking a back seat after the first week. But the fitful course of the campaign has many analysts wondering whether a successful NATO operation is possible if the U.S isn’t at the steering wheel. The lack of German support underscores the frailty of the NATO collective response.

Then take China, which is a recurring demonstration of the difficulty of partnering on security issues. The Obama administration has repeatedly said it wants Beijing’s help in dealing with the erratic nuclear-armed menace that is North Korea. The Chinese talk the language of shared responsibility in Sino-American meetings, but they never quite step up to the task of jointly solving problems. It seems they prefer to let things fester rather than take decisive action.

Henry Kissinger argues in his new book, “On China,” that the Chinese are culturally unfamiliar with the experience of being allies. Other nations were regarded chiefly as a source of tribute payments to the Middle King-

dom, and China didn’t even have a foreign ministry until the 19th century, Kissinger says. The Obama administration may be asking for a kind of cooperation that China does not yet know how to give.

The same partnership deficit has existed with India, Asia’s other rising power. A big test for Obama will be whether he can encourage India to step up and join a regional framework for stabilizing Afghanistan as America withdraws troops.

America had close alliances during the Cold War, but Fred Kempe, president of the Atlantic Council, notes that the partnership was often contentious. In his just-published “Berlin 1961,” Kempe notes that President Kennedy had to cope with a British prime minister who talked conciliation, a French president who talked belligerence and a German chancellor who mistrusted the new American president. The lesson, says Kempe, is that “when it comes to historic inflection points, America has to lead.”

Obama came to office rightly convinced that America needed to exercise power through global institutions and alliances, rather than unilaterally. But he has discovered that it’s easier to give medals than get results. “Leading from behind,” as a White House official described Obama’s style of strategic reticence to The New Yorker, isn’t necessarily a bad idea. It just doesn’t work in today’s world.

Lawrence residents were remembering Benny Goodman and the two YEARS performances he AGO had given in IN 1986 Lawrence. Goodman, who had died on the previous day in New York at the age of 77, had played for Kansas University’s 1975 Homecoming.

About 2,200 people had crowded into Hoch Auditorium on that night 11 years earlier for a solid, no-break 75-minute concert which had spectators dancing in the aisles.

About 230 bicyclists had pedaled 64 miles on the previous day on the second-to-last leg of the northern Biking Across Kansas route. Oskaloosa was the site of their rendezvous with another 240 cyclists who had been traveling the southern route. The reunited cyclists had 30 miles to go to Leavenworth and the state line.

Wrong solution To the editor: Memo to Westar: Many of us who live in Old West Lawrence recall that, during the winter of 2009-10, your company undertook a program to help avoid or at least reduce electrical service outages.

The program involved the removal or mutilation of dozens of f ine old trees along Seventh Street. Now, in the spring of 2011, we are having more outages than ever before, and the weather hasn’t even gotten hot yet. So, it appears the trees weren’t the problem. Whom do we talk to about getting them back?

Jeff Southard, Lawrence

Event effects To the editor: With attacks on the cultural climate of Kansas, it is very difficult for me to write this letter, but I feel I must.

I’ve been working on restoring a stone building in the Flint Hills out past Alma. About three weeks ago, I noticed a road grader and a line of dump trucks filled with gravel working on making a road through the prairie. I learned this road was the entryway to the onenight Symphony in the Flint Hills celebration.

I was irate that for one night’s entertainment, this stretch of native prairie was destroyed.

Ironically, I was given tickets to the celebration. I went to see for myself if this was the only damage to the prairie. Needless to say, it was only the beginning. There also were huge tents where the grass was completely flattened.

I finally asked a cowboy astride his horse, who had been providing the appropriate background for Copland’s music, thinking he could give me the straight scoop.

He said the first year the flattened areas came back in weeds that they sprayed with herbicides, killing everything, and then reseeded. The cowboy assured me the gravel road had no chance to be restored.

I found it interesting that I finally found something I could agree with our governor on: that the tallgrass prairie needs to be preserved.

I would hope the Kansas City Symphony and the event sponsors take a hard look at the ecological damage before continuing this annual “celebration” in the Flint Hills.

Karl Ramberg, Lawrence

Fair share To the editor: So developers want financial help to open an Olive Garden in Lawrence. Never mind that they will open pretty close to more locally owned Paisano’s. Never mind that we have several existing Italian restaurants in town. Never

mind the frequently published discussions of over-restauranting this town versus encouraging retailers. Never mind the many other new restaurants that got no financial relief to open.

Never mind that they will employ a few managers and cooks and servers, many of whom will be existing student-employees, probably trained at locally owned restaurants. Never mind that they will not hire scores or possibly hundreds of employees like Lowe’s would have. Never mind that the public already felt that giving financial help to an architecture firm to “stay” in town and hire no one just to move to a new location they liked was simply crazy. Never mind that no one is holding a fundraiser to keep Olive Garden’s parent company or the developers in business.

Put all of this aside. And explain to me why we should be giving a financially successful, national restaurant chain or the developers tax exemptions that will be taken from our property taxes that would have gone to our public school system (presently closing schools and intending to consolidate other schools) and other municipal departments looking to finance needs that will no longer be funded by our state. By all means, welcome Olive Garden, as long as they pay their fair share to our schools and our municipal functions.

Jack Altman, Lawrence

A 19-year-old Osawatomie man who had arrived in Lawrence two days YEARS earlier was proAGO nounced dead on IN 1971 arrival at Lawrence Memorial Hospital on the previous evening. Douglas County Attorney Mike Elwell said that the cause of death was apparently an overdose of heroin.

The man had been staying at an apartment house at 1309 Ohio, according to statements given to police by the persons who had taken his body to LMH.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for June 14, 1911: YEARS “The JournalAGO World today for the IN 1911 first time in the history of a Lawrence newspaper presents a full twopage advertisement to the public.

Advertising has doubled in Lawrence in the last five years, but it has only this afternoon reached the metropolitan state.

The Journal-World congratulates the Weaver store ... upon being the first store to take a two-page advertisement in a Lawrence newspaper. The Weaver store has been working up to this for some time. It is a live wire.”

“This is Flag Day, but Lawrence merchants have had so much decorating to do within the last month, that no bunting was hung out today. Flag Day is not a holiday in Kansas, but patriotic citizens are expected to decorate their homes and business houses with the national colors. But very few flags were flung to the breeze along Massachusetts today.”

Kansas town shifts to tornado recovery TOPEKA — Officials in the small Kansas town of Reading are moving out of the relief phase and into the recovery phase after a tornado struck May 21, killing one resident.

The city and Lyon County Emergency Management Agency issued a release Monday saying the quick move toward recovery was aided by the outpouring of support and volunteers.

During the transition to the recovery phase, the city anticipates needing only a few volunteers. Residents are waiting for insurance settlements and a decision by the Federal Emergency Management Agency regarding a disaster declaration.

Dozens of homes and businesses were destroyed by the tornado, estimated to have been an EF3 when it hit the town of about 240.

KANSAS BASEBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

LeBron belongs inside The NBA, it seems, more than any league, lends itself to psycho-babble explanations of why teams fail. They didn’t want it enough. They took the opponent lightly. The pressure of trying to create a legacy got to them. Yawn.

Sometimes, it’s about basketball. The Miami Heat failed because the roster had too many stars, which required a departure from conventional coaching, one that never came.

LeBron James played pretty much every position but the one he needs to play for the Heat. If he can turn himself into a center during the offseason, the Heat will win the 2012 NBA title. Period.

James needs to hire the best available big-man coach on the planet to tutor him daily on the nuances of posting up, efficient post footwork, defending the post, perfecting the outlet pass, etc.

James stands 6-foot-8 and weighs 250 pounds. To those who say he’s too short to defend centers, well, he was too tall to guard Derrick Rose, too, but he did it in the fourth quarter of the Eastern Conference finals and shut him down. An athletic freak, James is strong enough to guard centers and can give them fits by getting under them.

Offensively, the Heat have too many athletes who need the ball in their hands, so move the most athletically versatile guy, who also doesn’t tend to be the best decision-maker, inside. With Dwyane Wade at the point, flanked by sharpshooters Mike Miller and Mario Chalmers, and James and Chris Bosh in the paint, the Heat not only would beat teams up and down the court, but could dominate the offensive boards. See LeBron score on post-ups, put-backs, dumpoffs and lobs from Wade.

Score, LeBron, score.

As it is, James does opposing defenses favors by spending way too much time on the perimeter, where he’s not as smart as Wade or Chalmers.

LeBron’s lack of wisdom surfaced again in the wake of defeat when he said what, without too much twisting, could be interpreted as, “I’m still really, really rich, and you’re still really, really miserable. So there!”

What he actually said: “All the people that was rooting on me to fail, at the end of the day, they gotta wake up tomorrow and have the same life that they had before they woke up today.

You know, they got the same personal problems that they had today.”

(Don’t most people wake up at the beginning of the day, not the end?)

Anyway, this hate-hate relationship between James and sports fans is a win-win. Most fans are delighted because James and the Heat lost to Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Kidd.

LeBron is ecstatic because sports fans are weighed down by chronic personal problems.

One lost series isn’t enough to declare a failure the experiment that started with a repulsive victory celebration well before the first practice.

It takes work, meshing so much talent. Larry Brown couldn’t figure out a way to juggle egos into a gold medal, and Mike Krzyzewski did.

Short of prying Krzyzewski away from Duke, the job for which he was born, convincing LeBron to reinvent himself is the right title path. Now’s the time to approach him, while he’s in a euphoric state of schadenfreude, daydreaming about the personal problems of others.

Waiting game

Price uncertain of draft’s effects

Kukuk, the hard-throwing lefty who committed to — KU baseball KU months ago and coach Ritch Price signed with the Jayhawks last November, was drafted before all of them, in the seventh round by Boston.

So now the waiting game begins.

For Price, who has watched nearly 100 of his players get drafted during a 33-year coaching career, waiting used to be the hard part. College coaches in all sports are working constantly, always tinkering with lineups and projecting for the future.

Having to wait a month — maybe longer — to know if a player is even going to be on the club next year can be agonizing.

“One of the things you learn with experience is how to handle these types of situations,” Price said. “Quite frankly, when I was younger, I didn’t know how to handle it.”

KU’s Wesley honing skills ————

Laker-loving sophomore forward bears resemblance to Bryant

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Mike Yoder/Journal-World Photo

JUSTIN WESLEY, 6-FOOT-8 FORWARD WHO RED-SHIRTED LAST YEAR, practices drills Monday in the Horejsi Center in front of campers in attendance at Bill Self’s basketball camp. KU forward Thomas Robinson is in background.

Kansas University sophomore basketball forward Justin Wesley, who was born and reared in Fort Worth, Texas, rooted for the Dallas Mavericks to win the 2011 NBA championship.

Well, sort of.

“I am really a Lakers’ fan. Since they beat the Lakers and I like Dirk’s game, I had to go for the Mavs (against Miami in the finals),” Wesley said Monday after participating in drills at Bill Self’s basketball camp in Horejsi Center.

The Dirk Nowitzki-led Mavericks defeated the Heat, 105-95, on Sunday to take the title, four games to two.

“I was never a Mavericks fan. I never liked any Texas teams,” Wesley said. “I was a Kobe fan.

Keith was a Lakers’ fan also,” Wesley added of his brother, former KU guard Keith Langford.

“

Working with Marcus and Markieff (Morris) was a good experience getting stronger, and I felt those were two of the best big men in the country.”

— Kansas’ Justin Wesley “Our whole house was a Lakers fan.”

Why? “Kobe ... and Shaq,” Wesley said of future Hall of Famers Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal.

Wesley has been told he resembles his idol — Lakers’ phenom Bryant.

“You know what? I get that a lot. I don’t see it, but everybody else does,” the 6-foot-8, 200pound Wesley said of friends and strangers alike comparing him facially and physically to the 6-6,

205-pound Bryant. “One time at IHOP (in Texas), somebody came up to me asking for an autograph thinking I was Kobe Bryant.”

Future NBA Hall of Famer Bryant plays on the perimeter.

Wesley, who transferred to KU last summer from Lamar University and sat out the 2010-11 season in accordance with NCAA rules, is a somewhat undersized power forward.

“Working with Marcus and Markieff (Morris) was a good experience getting stronger, and I felt those were two of the best big men in the country,” Wesley said. “Thomas (Robinson), too.

Working with them made me a lot tougher.

“I am still working on my perimeter skills a little bit,” he added. “We’ll see as time goes on.

I’m in the gym working every day.”

Champion Mavs arrive home in Dallas DALLAS (AP) — The Dallas Mavericks returned home in triumph on Monday, cheered by hundreds of fans celebrating the franchise’s first NBA title and the first professional championship of any kind in the area in more than a decade.

Owner Mark Cuban walked off the plane at Love Field carrying the championship trophy he was handed after Sunday’s Game 6 victory over the Miami Heat.

Next came forward Dirk Nowitzki with hardware of his own: the NBA finals MVP trophy that

was awarded after he overcame a finger injury, illness and smothering defense from the Heat to power fourth-quarter comeback wins.

Cuban, the Dallas billionaire who bought the team in 2000, had the championship trophy in a seat next to him on the plane, and he apparently kept it close throughout the Sunday night celebration.

“This will sound weird,” he wrote on Twitter. “I’m laying in bed. With the trophy next (to) me.”

Cuban will keep the party going

at least through Thursday morning, the date set for the team’s victory parade through the streets of downtown Dallas.

Team spokeswoman Sarah Melton confirmed the date Monday, but said the precise route and other details would be announced today. Cuban has said that he will pick up the tab for parade costs.

The championship, the first in the 31-year history of the Mavericks, represents a breakthrough.

The franchise was once one of the worst in the NBA and, even after

COMMENTARY

Feel bad for LeBron?

No thanks

By Nancy Armour Associated Press National Writer

LeBron James brought this on himself.

The ridicule, the scorn, the unabashed delight seemingly everyone outside of South Beach is taking in his failure to win the NBA title — it’s all on him.

When you make a spectacle of yourself and give the impression you’re above everyone else, as James did with his shockingly tone-deaf “Decision,” you have to back it up. Not only did James not live up to the hype he predicted, his ineffectiveness when it mattered most showed that his supporting cast in Cleveland might not have been the real problem.

There is no question James is a spectacular talent, a once-in-a-generation player who can do things that defy both the imagination and the laws of physics.

His back-to-back MVP awards in 2009 and 2010 were well-deserved, and with 17,362 points in his first eight seasons, he likely will be among the NBA’s all-time leading scorers by the time his career ends.

Statistics have little weight without a championship to back them up, though, and James is now 0-for-2 in the NBA finals.

Accused of quitting in last year’s playoffs with Cleveland, James responded with a ferocity this year, dragging the Miami Heat through the early rounds. He’d become a national pariah after abandoning his beleaguered hometown in humiliating fashion, and he played like a man who knew the only way to salvage his reputation was with a title.

But when the games were on the line against the Dallas Mavericks, James disappeared. He managed just 18 points in the fourth quarter of the six-game series, and his silence was a major factor in why the Mavericks were able to rally again and again.

In the cardinal sin of sports, he didn’t seem to want it nearly as badly as Dirk Nowitzki, who played with a torn tendon in his finger and a 101-degree fever. Or Jason Kidd, who showed no regard for his 38-year-old body as he repeatedly dived for loose balls. Or even James’ own teammate, Dwyane Wade, who scored a teamhigh 23 in Game 5 despite a bruised hip so painful it had him in the locker room twice for treatment.

“Sometimes you got it, sometimes you don’t,” James said. “And that was this case in this series. I was able to do things in the last two series to help us win ballgames.

Wasn’t able to do that in this series.”

Lesser talents can get away with saying that — not that they ever would. But James made the move to Miami for the sole purpose of winning NBA titles, and that dismissive arrogance is exactly why fans rooted so hard against him and his buddies.

Watching James go home empty-handed made millions of fans in and outside of Cleveland feel better. But it won’t dim the spotlight on James and his sidekicks, or lessen the pressure.

If anything, the scrutiny only will get worse, as people start asking not when James will win a championship, but whether he can.

Cuban’s infusion of cash and energy, had a reputation of failing to win big games — including a loss to Miami in the 2006 finals after leading the series, 2-0.

The title is city’s first since the Dallas Stars won the Stanley Cup in 1999 and it comes four months after the Super Bowl in suburban Arlington included not the hometown Cowboys but Green Bay and Pittsburgh along with a spate of bad weather. The Texas Rangers advanced to the last World Series, but lost to San Francisco.

Busch fails inspection, loses 6 points CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Kyle Busch was docked six points Monday and his crew chief fined $25,000 because his car failed post-race inspection at Pocono Raceway.

The No. 18 Toyota was found to be too low during NASCAR’s inspection Sunday. NASCAR responded Monday by docking Busch six driver points and car owner Joe Gibbs six owner points.

Crew chief Dave Rogers received the fine.

Busch finished third in the race. Despite the penalty, he remains fifth in the standings, but he now trails leader Carl Edwards by 31 points.

Joe Gibbs Racing said in a statement it would not appeal the penalty.

“We brought the No. 18 car back to our race shop and have identified the problem which caused us to measure low during the postrace inspection process in Pocono,” the team said. “We have made NASCAR aware of our findings, and we accept the penalty they have issued.”

COLLEGE ADMINISTRATION NCAA to set up retreat in August INDIANAPOLIS — NCAA President Mark Emmert doesn’t believe colleges should pay athletes, and he wants university leaders to help him.

On Monday, Emmert announced he would hold a two-day retreat with about 50 school presidents or chancellors to discuss the future of Div. I sports. The meeting is scheduled for Aug. 9-10.

Among topics on the agenda are how to maintain the governing body’s policy on amateurism, a definition that allows schools to restrict how athletes are compensated for playing sports.

NBA Game 6 earns high TV rating NEW YORK — The Dallas Mavericks’ clinching victory in the NBA finals earned the highest preliminary television rating for a Game 6 in 11 years.

The Mavericks’ 105-95 victory over the Miami Heat on Sunday on ABC drew a 15.0 overnight rating. That’s the best for a Game 6 since 2000, when the Lakers clinched a title over the Pacers. There had been five series since that went at least six games.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL Fiesta hires UA president PHOENIX — The Fiesta Bowl turned to University of Arizona President Robert Shelton to lead the rehabilitation of its tattered reputation.

The bowl announced Monday that it has hired the respected academic as executive director to replace the ousted John Junker.

The BCS recently fined the bowl $1 million but allowed the event to remain as one of its four games. Junker was fired earlier this year after an internal investigation uncovered apparently illegal campaign contributions by staff and lavish spending by him on parties and a night at a strip club.

Oregon CB cited for 118 mph EUGENE, ORE. — Oregon cornerback Cliff Harris has been cited with driving 118 mph on a suspended license.

Oregon State police say Harris, 20, was pulled over after an off-duty trooper spotted him about 4:35 a.m. PDT Sunday on Interstate 5 south of Albany, Ore. An on-duty officer clocked Harris and pulled him over.

Ohio court investigating lawyer COLUMBUS, OHIO — The attorney whose email tip to Jim Tressel launched a scandal that led to his forced resignation as Ohio State’s football coach and possible NCAA discipline for the school is being investigated for legal misconduct by the Ohio Supreme Court.

Sanctions against lawyer Christopher Cicero could range from a public reprimand to permanently losing his law license.

State Disciplinary Counsel Jonathan Coughlan alleged in a filing Monday that Cicero violated professional conduct rules by revealing information from interviews with a potential client.

Pryor signs with agent Rosenhaus COLUMBUS, OHIO — Former Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor hired Drew Rosenhaus as his agent and has taken steps toward making himself available for an NFL supplemental draft.

Pryor’s lawyer, Larry James, said Monday that Pryor was in Miami and had signed an agreement with Rosenhaus, a high-powered agent who represents some of the biggest names in sports.

NHL Bruins force Game 7 vs. Canucks BOSTON — The Boston Bruins put Roberto Luongo and the Stanley Cup back on the shelf.

After another home scoring spree against Vancouver’s wildly inconsistent goalie Monday night, the Bruins are making one last trip west for the big finish to these dramatic Stanley Cup finals.

Brad Marchand, Milan Lucic and Andrew Ference scored in the first 8:35 to chase Luongo from his second straight game in Boston, and the Bruins emphatically evened the finals with a 5-2 victory in Game 6, sending the series to a decisive Game 7 in Vancouver on Wednesday night.

NFL WR Britt faces 2 arrest warrants NASHVILLE, TENN. — Titans receiver Kenny Britt has two arrest warrants outstanding in Tennessee, and he is suspected of providing inaccurate information on two separate driver’s license applications.

The Tennessee Highway Patrol issued the arrest warrants April 14.

Burress aiding anti-violence cause NEW YORK — Plaxico Burress will work with the National Urban League and Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence after spending nearly two years in prison on a weapon possession charge.

The 33-year-old former New York Giants receiver said Monday he will be mentored by Magic Johnson and Tony Dungy through the Brady Center. He’ll volunteer at Urban League youth programs and recruit other pro athletes.

MLB Dykstra’s plea: not guilty LOS ANGELES — Former New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Lenny Dykstra pleaded not guilty Monday in a federal case where he’s accused of embezzling money from a bankruptcy estate.

Federal prosecutors contend Dykstra, 48, sold or destroyed more than $400,000 worth of items from an $18.5 million mansion without permission of a bankruptcy trustee.

Price CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

Now he does. And for Price, it starts long before draft day.

“One of the things I do in my home visits is, I sit down and I make my presentation about KU, and then I ask mom and dad, point-blank, what round and how much money is it gonna take for your son to give up the college experience,” he said. “Ninety-five percent of those parents are honest with me.”

That helps. But it’s not foolproof. After all, as Price says, “Every one of those kids’ situations was different and unique.”

That’s where patience and poise enter the picture. When it comes to handling the draft, Price only allows himself to get involved so far.

“I just try to share all that information, and then I step back from them,” he said.

“When that decision is made, I want it to be made by mom and dad and that young man so that when he walks on our campus he never has second thoughts.”

Sometimes that approach leads recruits to KU. Other times, it doesn’t.

Throughout the 2011 season, Price talked about the previous year’s draft hurting his team. Heading into recruiting for 2011, he had holes at third base, center field and in the rotation.

He plugged them all.

Or so he thought.

Once the draft passed, three high school commitments signed with pro teams, and Price was left with an incomplete lineup card and the task

Another year, 2009, Price’s roster took a hit when firstround pick Matt Purke was unable to sign a multi-million dollar offer from the Texas Rangers because the Rangers were bankrupt and Major Leag ue Baseball

would not sign off on the offer. Instead, Purke went to TCU, where he was named the national freshman pitcher of the year, and the Rangers signed their picks from the next 24 rounds.

That included pitcher Shawn Blackwell out of Clear Creek High in Texas, who was

J-W Staff Reports

Wesley could be counted on for frontcourt depth next season following the departure of seven players, including the Morris twins and forward-guard Mario Little.

“I’m working on my ballhandling skills, my outside jumper and getting stronger so I can contribute any way I can to the team,” Wesley said.

He averaged 1.2 points and 1.3 rebounds while logging 9.9 minutes a game during the 2009-10 season at Lamar. He tallied season-highs in points (eight) and rebounds (eight) against Lyon College. He had four games of 20-plus minutes.

“This summer I am going to work really hard to try to get better and better my skills. If I do get to the point where I can get in the rotation, that’s where I’ll be,” Wesley said.

Wesley’s famous brother, Langford, the No. 7-leading scorer in KU history, has been battling injury and hasn’t been able to play for BC Khimky of Moscow in the Russian League playoffs.

“He had a problem with his knee. He’s sitting out now,” Wesley said of his brother, who recently signed a fouryear extension with Khimky, good for $2.3 million a year.

BRANSON, MO. — The Kansas City Sluggers, a summer league baseball team made up primarily of Lawrence High and Free State players, took second place at the Diamond Sports Invitational over the weekend.

On Saturday, the Sluggers defeated Columbia (Mo.), 11-3, in the semif inals before falling in the finals to Bloomington (Ill.), 7-4.

K.C. SLUGGERS 11, COLUMBIA (MO.) 3 Sluggers highlights — Troy Willoughby, 2-for-4, double; Trevor Champagne 2-for-4, RBI; Montana Samuels 2-for-4, RBI; Jake Vinoverski 3-for-4, HR, RBI; C.J. Roush 3-for-4; Shane Willoughby 2-for-3, double, 2 RBIs; Trent Johnson 41⁄3 IP, 2ER, picked up the win.

BLOOMINGTON (ILL.) STARS 7, K.C. SLUGGERS 4 Sluggers highlights — Troy Willoughby 1-3, RBI; C.J. Roush 1-3, double; Cameron Solko 32⁄3 inning, 0 ER, 4K. Next up for Sluggers — 1:30 p.m. Thursday, Midwest Bruins Invitational at SCABA in Topeka.

●

Same numbers: There were Internet rumors that Wesley might ask Jeff Withey to switch jersey numbers this year. Wesley wears No. 4; Withey wears Langford’s old number, 5.

“We decided to keep it the same,” Wesley said. “I thought about it. That is kind of Keith’s number. I am just going to try to build my own legacy. We are going to stay with 4 and 5.” ●

Happy for city: Wesley may not be an active Mavs fan, but he is happy for his home state.

He moved to Houston when in the eighth grade.

“I mean, this is our first championship. I am actually very excited we’ve actually got a championship in Dallas now,” Wesley said. “I wish I could be back there to celebrate.” ●

New name in recruiting: Ryan Taylor, a 6-6, 185-pound small forward from Louisville’s Western High, may take an unofficial recruiting visit to KU this weekend, CBSsports.com reports.

Taylor’s high school coach/uncle Paul Handley told CBSsports.com that KU on Monday offered Taylor a scholarship.

132-rated player in the Class of 2011, committed to Louisville before reopening his recruiting. Taylor reportedly has offers from West Virginia, Indiana and South Carolina.

Handley told CBS that Taylor is a couple of points shy on his standardized test. Taylor, who attended Lawrence North in Indianapolis for three years before heading to Western, took the test last weekend. If he qualifies, he’ll be eligible to play this season.

“He still loves Louisville, but I don’t know if they have a scholarship now,” Handley told CBS. ●

Lindsay update: Merv Lindsay, a 6-7 guard/forward from Canyon Springs High in Moreno Valley, Calif., who visited KU last weekend, will complete a visit to Marquette today. Eligible to play this upcoming season, Lindsay is expected to choose between KU and Marquette later this week.

Shawn Blackwell would be on our team right now,” Price said. “If he would’ve come to Kansas, he would be skipping those levels right now.”

Price believes strongly that college is the place for high school players to develop. But he doesn’t begrudge those who choose to fine-tune their

| 3B.

games in the minor leagues because of the appeal of a dollar sign and a bunch of zeroes.

He does, however, caution against making the choice for the wrong reasons.

“I’ve had three sons who have played in the minor leagues,” Price said. “Every parent who’s gonna have a son drafted should take his son and go spend a week in the minor leagues. Not at Triple A, not with the big-league club, go down to that rookielevel club, go to the low-A club and go watch. And go at 1 o’clock when the kids are on the field and they practice for three hours. Go back at 6 when they show up to play their game at 8 o’clock at night. And realize that’s a seven-, eight-hour day, and it’s all baseball. Your passion to play and your maturity level has to be off the charts or you’ll quit.”

Of course Price would like to win the Big 12 Conference every year and advance to a postseason regional without having to sweat. But not if doing that comes at the expense of his athletes or their college experience.

“For me, the whole next part in the process of building Kansas into a perennial contender is what’s happening now,” Price said. “We’re signing better players, and, as a result, now we’re susceptible to losing players in the draft. I think it speaks volumes for the progress we’ve made here. Now we have some credibility. But I’m trying to juggle, how do we take that next step and get a chance to play in regionals on a consistent basis and still not lose guys to the draft.

Because once I lose ’em, I can’t fix it.”

Jeter hurt in Yankees’ loss The Associated Press

Indians 1, Yankees 0 N EW Y O R K — Derek Jeter took one step out of the batter’s box and clearly was in trouble.

Noticeably limping, the New York Yankees star managed to jog down the first base line. He touched the bag, turned right toward the dugout and was done in the fifth inning of Monday night’s loss to Cleveland.

A strained right calf stalled Jeter’s pursuit of 3,000 hits.

He headed to a hospital for an MRI, which showed a Grade I strain, the mildest type. The Yankees said they would determine the next step today — and they hope it’s not a trip to the disabled list.

“I’m worried about him,” manager Joe Girardi said.

“Just keep our fingers crossed, and hopefully it’s not too serious.”

Jeter, who had a leadoff single for career hit No. 2,994, appeared to hurt himself on a flyout to right field in the fifth.

He has not been on the disabled list since 2003.

“He just walked off the field, and you could tell he was done,” Girardi said. “You don’t see him come out of games.”

Regardless of the MRI results, Girardi said he didn’t think Jeter would be able to play tonight against Texas.

Teammates, fans and even Jeter himself had said it would be nice to achieve the milestone at Yankee Stadium. New York has three games left against Texas on this homestand, then goes on a six-game road trip to Wrigley Field in Chicago, and Cincinnati.

“It’s frustrating,” Girardi said. “He’s six hits away. You’d hope he could’ve did it here.

Obviously, he looked pretty sore.”

Jeter’s single helped the Yankees load the bases with no outs in the first against Carlos Carrasco (6-3). But Jeter hesitated on Alex Rodriguez’s medium-depth fly and stayed at third base — center fielder Michael Brantley appeared ready to concede the run — and Carrasco got out of the jam without allowing a run.

Santiago’s RBI triple in the bottom of the 10th inning gave Detroit a victory over Tampa Bay in a game that featured 37 players, two ejections and about a half-dozen big plays on the bases. The Tigers

remained in a virtual tie for first place on the eve of their big series against Cleveland.

With one out in the 10th, Victor Martinez singled off Kyle Farnsworth (2-1). Santiago followed with a drive to the gap in right-center. Martinez scored just before the relay to the plate.

Angels 6, Mariners 3 SEATTLE — Vernon Wells hit the Angels’ first homer in a week with a solo shot in the third inning, then hit a tiebreaking two-run homer in the seventh.

The slumping Angels, having dropped seven of eight, started their longest road trip of the season with a comeback victory capped by a power surge.

The Angels were homerless in their previous 62 innings before Wells’ blast with two outs in the third.

Chicago slips past Milwaukee, 1-0 The Associated Press

Cubs 1, Brewers 0 CHICAGO — Darwin Barney scored on a fielder’s choice in the eighth inning for the game’s lone run as the Cubs topped the Brewers on Monday night.

Aramis Ramirez grounded to Brewers shortstop Yuniesky Betancourt with one out, but the throw to catcher Jonathan Lucroy wasn’t in time to tag Barney, who dived over home plate for the score.

Wife should try to fix emotional issues Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

though I’ve been going over to Emma’s house a lot more, the situation hasn’t gotten any better. When I’m around both of them, I try to give them equal attention, but Emma still brushes me off. There are times when she is nice like before, but not always. What do I do? — Friend Problems

Dear Friend: Emma is too jealous of Maria to include her in the friendship she has with you. This is not an anniesmailbox@comcast.net uncommon response when Dear Tired: Until your wife someone new disrupts an recognizes that she has a prob- existing relationship. Emma lem, she cannot work on making it better. Many women struggle with hormonal imbalances during menopause, making it harder to control existing emotional issues. This could be why your wife’s anger has gotten worse. Go back to your counselor and ask for help communicating with her.

She has to understand that her marriage is at stake.

One day’s she’s 16 and never been kissed and the next, she’s sporting killer nails and has a legion of men who just can’t wait to get their hands on her. That’s the basic premise of “The Nine Lives of Chloe King” (8 p.m., ABC Family). It’s the latest to tap into the “Twilight"-driven mania for tales of teens with hidden powers and brooding inner lives, kids who have to fight ancient evil conspiracies all night and still make it to homeroom on time.

Skyler Samuels stars in the title role of this series based on a series of books by Celia Thomson. She acquits herself well kicking and fighting and fending off supernatural baddies. Her hardest acting job is convincing us that she was some kind of unpopular, anti-social nerd before all of this unusual static began. ● “Jon Benjamin Has a Van” (9:30 p.m., Comedy Central) joins the ranks of news parody series. Don’t go looking for “Daily Show"- or “Onion News Network"-level writing here. Most of this consists of a hapless journalist carrying on shenanigans with his crew. The show opens with a somber visit to a wounded veteran whose wounds had nothing to do with combat. This envelope-pushing sendup would have been more powerful had it been remotely funny.

“Van” lists one of its producers as “Funny or Die,” the website forum for comics who often seem more intent on cracking each other up than entertaining audiences. That pretty much sums up the philosophy of “Jon Benjamin Has A Van.” ● Some shows don’t last past their first few outings. Others seem to run forever.

One TV producer once told me that programming longevity often boils down to the axiom, “The longer you’re on, the longer you’re on.” Which may explain how, or why, “Gene Simmons Family Jewels” (9 p.m., A&E) can return for a sixth season.

TV-Themed DVDs available today include “The Best of the ‘80s: The ATeam.”

Universal Crossword Edited by Timothy E. Parker June 14, 2011

Tonight’s other highlights ● With the NBA Finals in the books, ABC offers repeats of “Wipeout” and “Rookie Blue” starting at 8 p.m. ● The prospect of an arctic hurricane puts f ishing on the back burner on “Deadliest Catch” (8 p.m., Discovery).

Familiar faces kick back in Hawaii, of all places, on “After the Catch” (9 p.m., Discovery). ● An inmate on death row needs Alicia’s help on “The Good Wife” (9 p.m., CBS). ● “Independent Lens” (9 p.m., PBS) ends its season with “Two Spirits,” a documentary take on a hate crime on a Navajo reservation.

Cult choice ● A ballerina (Jessica Harper) has no idea that she’s matriculated into an academy run by an evil coven in the 1977 shocker “Suspiria” (7 p.m., Fox Movie Channel), directed by Dario Argento. A terrifying film in every way, “Suspiria” features staggering cinematography and a throbbing, mesmerizing score by Italian progressive rock band Goblin. And look for Hollywood veteran Joan Bennett, too!

GOLD CUP COMES TO KANSAS CITY

MEMBERS OF THE UNITED STATES NATIONAL SOCCER TEAM run drills during practice at the new Livestrong Sporting Park on Monday in Kansas City, Kan. The U.S. will face Guadeloupe today in the CONCACAF Gold Cup Tournament.

U.S. facing must-win ————

Loss to Panama dropped United States to second KANSAS CITY, KAN. (AP) — The United States enters the final group-stage match of an international soccer tournament for the third straight year needing a win to secure a place in the knockout stage.

The Americans did it twice before, at the FIFA Confederations Cup in 2009 and the World Cup in 2010. Now, depending on the result of tonight’s early match, the U.S. could find itself in a must-win situation against tiny but tenacious Guadeloupe in the CONCACAF Gold Cup. “It would be nice to cruise through the group and be able to put your feet up,” goalkeeper Tim Howard said after Monday’s training session at Livestrong Sporting Park. “It doesn’t always happen that way.”

Saturday’s 2-1 loss to Panama, its f irst group-stage defeat, left the U.S. in second place, tied with Canada on points but ahead on goal differential.

Regardless of the outcome of the early match between Canada and Group C leader Panama, a victory will guarantee the U.S. a quarterfinal berth.

If Canada and the U.S. both win today, three teams will have six points each and all three will advance. But the third-place finisher will have to face Group A winner Mexico, which dominated its first three matches, in the quarterfinals.

With so much on the line, Panama coach Julio Dely Valdes insists his team won’t ease up against Canada.

“We’ll look at it the same as any other game,” Dely Valdes said through a translator. “We want to win it and we want to be first in the group. This is a process, and you always want to win it.”

UNITED STATES MIDFIELDER CLINT DEMPSEY and several of his teammates talk to the media after practice Monday.

While Panama is riding high going into the last group game, U.S. midfielder Landon Donovan said the Americans have to put aside the disappointment of Saturday’s loss.

“If you want to be one of the teams standing at the end, it’s a marathon,” he said. “You have to be careful not to get caught up in one result, one way or the other, in a group stage.”

No matter the result of the early match, U.S. coach Bob Bradley said, his team has to focus on avoiding a repeat of its slow start against Panama.

“We’re going out with mentality to win this game,” Bradley said. “Our response after a game we weren’t satisfied with is important.”

The U.S., 22nd in the most recent FIFA rankings, is a heavy favorite against Guadeloupe, a small French posses-

sion in the Caribbean. Guadeloupe is not a FIFA member and competes only at the regional level.

That said, Guadeloupe — unlike the other two lastplace teams in group play — has not been a pushover, with a goal differential of only minus-2 despite playing a man down for much of its first two games.

“We’re frustrated,” said midfielder Stephone Auvray, who plays for Sporting Kansas City in Major League Soccer. “If we had played a full team in one of those matches, things could be different now.

Hopefully, tomorrow we’ll be able to do it.”

Guadeloupe’s determination and its strong history in the Gold Cup — including a run to the semifinals in 2007 — certainly has the Americans’ respect.

MADISON, WIS. (AP) — When it comes to baseball, Dave Kretschmann always keeps his eye on the bat.

A casual fan whose loyalties are split between the St. Louis Cardinals and Milwaukee Brewers, Kretschmann watches games much differently than he did three years ago.

When a player steps to the plate, Kretschmann isn’t thinking about the pitching matchup or second-guessing the manager. He’s focused on the brand, shape and composition of the bat the player has in his hands. If Kretschmann sees something he doesn’t like, he worries about whether it’s about to shatter into flying fragments that could hurt a player, a coach or a fan.

“I know too much now,” he said.

Faced with an epidemic of dangerous broken bats in 2008, Major League Baseball turned to the U.S. Forest Service for help in solving the problem. And who knows wood better than the Forest Service?

Led by Kretschmann, a research engineer at the Forest Service’s Forest Products Laboratory near the University of Wisconsin campus, the partnership appears to be working.

Since the broken-bat issue reached its peak in the middle of the ’08 season, the overall number of broken bats has remained relatively steady.

But Kretschmann has tracked an approximately 50 percent reduction in the most dangerous type of broken bat, where a piece or pieces of the bat literally come flying off the handle after contact with the ball.

Kretschmann calls it a “multiple-piece failure.” Others in the game call it just plain dangerous.

“They’re flying into stands with the jagged edge sticking out, they’re flying into the ground all over the field,”

Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said.

Dan Halem, MLB’s senior vice president of labor relations, credited Kretschmann for leading the way in making significant steps for safety.

“It’s a pure safety issue,” Halem said. “The only interest that we have here is making sure that there are no safety incidents with on-field personnel or fans because of a broken bat.”

After sorting through thousands of broken bats — including nearly every bat that broke in the second half of the 2008 season — Kretschmann and colleagues at Harvard and the University of Massachusetts Lowell identified issues that made bats more prone to shattering.

Many in baseball have blamed the rise of maple bats.

“I do a lot of woodworking,” Roenicke said. “I work with maple and I work with ash.

Ash, you can take a screw and drill right through it. Maple, you do that and it busts. It’s a fact.”

Indeed, research showed that bats made of particularly low-density varieties of maple instead of ash are more prone to multiple-piece failures. There also are problems with the shape of bats preferred by some of today’s sluggers — bats with thin handles and thick barrels; Kretschmann calls them “tennis rackets.”

But those aren’t the biggest problems. Kretschmann said the main issue with bats that break into multiple pieces is the so-called “slope of grain” in the wood.

Ideally, a bat would be made so the grain runs perfectly straight along the length of the bat. But if it’s off by more than three degrees from parallel, the bat can lose about 20 percent of its strength and Kretschmann found himself examining bats that were off by 10 degrees or more.

“It’s not going to be an easy game,” U.S. forward Clint Dempsey said. “They want to win and they have a good team.”

Still, the U.S. does have a recent history of clutch performances in the last round of group play.

Two years ago in the Confederations Cup, the Americans needed — and got — a 3-0 victory over Egypt to get out of the group stage on their way to a runner-up finish.

Last year, the U.S. drew in its f irst two World Cup matches before Donovan’s late goal against Algeria gave them the points they needed to move on.

“Our teams have always come back really well,” Bradley said, “from games when we haven’t been at our DAVE KRETSCHMANN USES AN INK DOT ON A BAT to show how he measures the slope of the grain. best.”
