Planned Parenthood sues over blocked funds “

Group says provision violates free speech, due process rights

By John Hanna Associated Press Writer

TOPEKA — Planned Parenthood filed a federal lawsuit Monday over a provision in Kansas’ next state budget that prevents the organization from receiving federal family planning funding, marking the first of what could be several legal challenges to policies successfully pushed by abortion opponents this year.

The lawsuit comes as Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri awaits word from the state about whether it will receive a license to continue performing abortions after Friday in Kansas. Its clinic was inspected last week under a separate state law that recently set up a special licensing process for abortion providers, and one of Kansas’ three providers has

license.

Abortion rights advocates fear that none of the three will get a license, making Kansas the first state in the nation without an abortion provider. Other new Kansas laws taking effect Friday restrict private health insurance coverage for most abortions, require doctors to obtain written consent from parents before terminating

tighten restrictions on abortions after the 21st week of pregnancy, based on the disputed claim that a fetus can feel pain.

“The climate is one of sustained assaults on the fundamental rights of women to health care,” Peter Brownlie, the Planned Parenthood chapter’s president and chief executive officer, said during a news conference.

Budget limits district School district officials would rather provide the service, but budget challenges have limited what the district can and will provide, said Rick Gammill, district director for special operations, safety and transportation.

The district limits its transportation to what it can receive state reimbursement for: ● Students who live

A new state law that takes effect Friday will require all Kansas cities to charge a $10 fine for failure to wear a seat belt and also removes a city’s ability to charge court costs to prosecute the violation.

In Lawrence, the change will be significant.

Currently, the city charges a $40 fine and has the ability to add another $60 in court costs — although the city has not made a practice of charging the court costs.

Opponents of the law change say the result also will be significant: Fewer cities will properly enforce the seat-belt law.

“I think that is exactly what will happen, and I think that is exactly what the Legislature’s intent was when it passed this law,” said Kimberly Winn, deputy director for the League of Kansas Municipalities, which lobbied against the bill.

In 2010, the state passed a new seat-belt law that allowed motorists to be pulled over and ticketed for not wearing a seat belt. Previously, law enforcement officers couldn’t pull a motorists over solely for a seatbelt violation. That 2010 law limited the fine to $5, but the law was

BUSES ARE SHUTTLING KIDS TO SUMMER SCHOOL at Quail Run School this summer. These short buses are financed largely by special-education funds from state and federal governments, and are not subject to the distance limit for transportation to schools. But since the Lawrence school district cut its bus service two years ago for regular students who live within 2.5 miles of their schools, many families have had to make new arrangements to get their kids to school. A proposal from a parent of students who used to attend Quail Run and now are headed to Southwest Middle School would restore the service. The proposed private arrangement — to contract for a full-size, 71-seater bus from First Student Inc. — would be financed entirely by parents looking for the convenience and safety of a bus.

Parents hope to pool own money to provide kids with ride to school

By Mark Fagan mfagan@ljworld.com

Two years after the Lawrence school district put a stop to extended bus service by slashing its transportation budget, some parents hope to bring the familiar yellow buses back to their neighborhoods.

With their own money.

At least two elementaries — Schwegler and Sunflower — are poised to have bus rides available for students living within 2.5 miles of the schools, through private contracts

arranged and paid for through PTAs or parent groups.

Linda Howard hopes to sign up 100 students from Southwest Middle School and Quail Run School, where families could pay $3.45 or less each day to have a student ride to class and back home again.

Hiring a bus, Howard said, would ensure that students who wouldn’t otherwise qualify for district-provided transportation could get to school without having to walk up to 2.5 miles each way or steer their parents or

guardians into driving them.

Her two sons used to walk each day to nearby Quail Run, but the idea of having them walk nearly two miles each way to and from Southwest — crossing Clinton Parkway twice — just doesn’t sit well.

“I can drive my kids,” said Howard, who said she used to pay the district $280 a year to transport her daughter to Southwest, back when the district provided pay-to-ride service.

“I can carpool with someone, but it’s just easier and

will help more people out there if there’s a bus.”

Plenty of work awaits new Lawrence school board “

By Mark Fagan

mfagan@ljworld.com

Test scores are up. Fouryear high schools and four “new” middle schools are about to open. Operations are streamlining, career pathways are expanding and results-oriented discussions regarding race are continuing.

And there’s more to come, said Rick Doll, superintendent of the Lawrence school district.

“We’re not yet a well-oiled machine,” Doll said Monday night, as he recounted achievements and goals accomplished during the past year. “We’re not there yet. …

We have a lot of improve-

ment we can still make.”

During the last regular meeting of the latest edition of the Lawrence school board — one whose members were elected in 2007 and 2009 — Doll ran down the district’s progress on its goals established for 2010-12 school year.

Members both staying and outgoing know there still is plenty of work ahead: ● Supporting a new volunteer working group tasked with recommending a plan to consolidate elementary schools. ● Grappling with ongoing budget challenges, while striving to boost student achievement. ● Considering possibilities

We’re not yet a well-oiled machine.

We’re not there yet. … We have a lot of improvement we can still make.”

— Superintendent Rick Doll

for a proposed bond issue, one that would be expected to deal with longtime physical and operational needs of elementary schools.

Then there’s public

involvement, boundaries, resource allocation, Adequate Yearly Progress and more that will be sure to emerge as the months go by.

“Those won’t go away,” said Mark Bradford, one of three board members — Bob Byers and Vanessa Sanburn as the others — who will remain on the board next month, each with two years of board experience.

Four new board members, elected in April, formally join the board for its July 11 meeting: Rick Ingram, Shannon Kimball, Randy Masten and Keith Diaz Moore. The new seven-member board will set its own goals during an upcoming meeting, likely in July or August.

Morgan, one of three departing members whose combined board experience totaled 40 years, said he expects the past year’s efforts to lead to continued improvements for the district.

“We’ve moved it along,” Morgan said. “We didn’t dig the hole deeper.”

Monday night, the current board’s last formal decision was to spend $105,000 to buy new band uniforms for Free State High School, to be made during the next year and ready for the 2012 marching season.

Fred Stewart 8.24.1938 - 6.26.2011 Fred Stewart, 72, of Eudora Kansas, died June 26, 2011. He was born August 24, 1938, in Timbo, Arkansas, a son of Theodore Francis and Elvie Fox Stewart. He enjoyed small town Arkansas life growing up and had many stories of his time at the Busters’ pool hall, high school basketball games and running moonshine before graduating from the Mountain View, AR, class of 1957.

He was united in marriage to Mary Ann Henderson on September 6, 1958, in Mountain View. They had two children, a daughter, Patricia, followed two years later by a son, Johnny.

Patricia is now married to Joe Betteken and they have three children, Joey, Michael and Jeffery. Johnny is married to Julie Laws and they have one child, Grant.

Other survivors include his sister, Martha Wilson of Heber Springs AR, sisterin-laws Betty Stewart of Conway, AR, who was married to Fred’s brother Wendy, Ilene Stewart of Luray, MO, who was married to Fred’s brother L.E. “Duke” Stewart, and Mary Ann Stewart and special friend Glenda Rose.

Fred never knew a stranger. He truly enjoyed interacting with new

friends, old friends and trying new business ventures.

He enjoyed his time serving in a public role as Stewart Mayor and City Council for his new small town, Eudora. Some of Fred’s more unique opportunities in business were sawmill owner/operator, firewood distributor, restaurant owner, pipe fitter, home builder, and in the last few years of his life running a farmers market stall.

Fred chose to leave this world without fanfare; his wishes were to have an intimate graveside service in Timbo, AR. He wanted to be buried in simple dress with his head facing the mountain. It’s appropriate that Fred’s heart was enlarged when he died; his heart was always open to those in need.

Rest in peace Fred, your friends and family will miss you dearly. With much love and kindness, your family.

In lieu of flowers, please send memorials to Fred’s church which he helped build during its construction phase: Family of Faith, 2295 N. 1300 Rd., PO Box 721, Eudora, KS 66025.

more than 2.5 miles from their school, including those assigned to a school more than 2.5 miles from home to take part in the English as a Second Language program. ● Students who receive transportation because of special needs.

In the past, students also could ride the bus if they lived anywhere from 1.5 miles to 2.5 miles away, through the district’s pay-to-ride program.

District fees started at $100 per semester, per student.

Ending the pay-to-ride program saved the district $500,000 a year, because fees never came close to covering the district’s costs. While some families paid fees many more rode for free, having qualified for waivers with their placement in the district’s free-and-reducedlunch program.

“It’s a service we no longer offer, but we have no problem if the neighborhood associations want to look into it — and if they can afford it,” Gammill said. “That’s the big key.”

Schwegler led the way in 2009 with its PTA contracting with First Student Inc. to provide a bus for students living south of 23rd Street, south of Clinton Parkway and west of Iowa. Safety and convenience were the goals.

Schwegler ‘successful’ First Student charges the PTA $20 a day for the bus, or about $1,800 a semester. To break even, Schwegler needs 18 students and started last year with 25 — a total climbed to 38, giving the PTA extra revenue to channel into resources for teachers.

By year’s end the PTA had paid its $3,600 to cover the contract and still had about $2,000 leftover.

“Parents are glad for the opportunity to be able to pay for this service, and the school is grateful that this service is provided,” said

Lawrence, died Saturday, June 25, 2011, at Sullivan County Nursing Home in Claremont.

Friends may call from 9:30 a.m. until service time Thursday at the funeral home.

Erika Dvorske, who organized the bus service on behalf of the PTA and is president of the United Way of Douglas County. “It’s been successful.”

Schwegler and Sunflower share two built-in advantages that Southwest does have: a late start to the day and a relatively late closing bell. The late schedules allow First Student to serve them by extending the runs of other buses that already are on the road, having gone to and from schools with earlier schedules.

Hiring a bus to handle one school costs the district $188 a day. Adding a second school to that bus route adds less than $20 to the bill.

Howard, the parent who spent six years on the Quail Run’s PTO, has done the math. Southwest starts early — just after 8 a.m. — and that means she’d need 50 students from that school to make the service affordable, at about $70 per student per month.

Adding another 50 students from Quail Run — using the same bus, because Quail Run starts at 8:45 a.m.

— would lower the cost to riders from both schools to about $40 per month, she said.

Howard has heard from families of only about two dozen students looking for bus rides, about a dozen from each school. She plans to let First Student know by July 6 whether she’d be arranging to hire a bus for the coming year.

Anyone interested in the potential service may call Linda Howard at (785) 6408977 or send her an email at kyiaks@aol.com.

“I’ve heard so many complaints from people saying they would do it,” said Howard, who remains convinced that there are enough parents out there to make the system work. “But I haven’t gotten enough response yet.

If it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work.”

The lawsuit alleges the provision violates the organization’s rights to free speech and legal due process. It was filed against Gov. Sam Brownback, an anti-abortion Republican who took office in January, and Robert Moser, his secretary of health and environment.

Punitive measure The measure is less farreaching than a plan enacted in Indiana that cuts off Medicaid funds for Planned Parenthood. A federal judge has blocked that law, saying Indiana can’t deny funds for general health services such as breast exams and Pap tests just because Planned Parenthood also performs abortions.

Still, Planned Parenthood contends that Kansas’ budget provision will do “significant and irreparable harm” to men and women seeking family planning services. Planned Parenthood offers abortion services in Kansas only at its clinic in Overland Park, a Kansas City suburb, but also has clinics in Wichita and Hays that serve about 5,700 patients.

Its lawsuit argues that the budget provision represents a punishment for publicly advocating abortion rights.

“We rely on the legislative record and the public comments of the various public officials,” Brownlie said. “Its intent was to defund Planned Parenthood.”

But backers of the budget provision argue that Kansans who oppose abortion shouldn’t be forced to have their tax dollars subsidize abortions.

“Kansas taxpayers have made it clear they do not wish to underwrite organizations that perform abortions,” Brownback said in a statement. The governor later said the provision was among many enacted to help keep the state budget balanced and that Planned Parenthood doesn’t qualify for family planning dollars “because of its business practices.”

Planned Parenthood maintains that it keeps abortion services separate from other services, such as family planning, though abortion opponents contend any state funds ultimately help support the clinic in Overland Park.

Paying after the fact Mary Kay Culp, executive director of Kansans for Life, said it makes little sense to give family planning dollars to Planned Parenthood since it can make money terminating unwanted pregnancies if it fails to prevent them.

“They evidently think they have a right to it because they’ve had it so long, but it’s taxpayer money,” Culp said.

Meanwhile, Planned Parenthood and the state’s two other abortion providers, also in the Kansas City area, have been considering legal challenges to the clinic licensing law and the accompanying regulations.

Among other things, those regulations list drugs and equipment they must have on hand, set allowable temperatures in procedure and recovery rooms, and establish the minimum size for procedure rooms. The licensing law mandates annual state inspections, including at least one unannounced visit.

Three health department inspectors spent two days examining Planned Parenthood’s clinic in Overland Park last week, while the Women’s Health Center, also in Overland Park, has an inspection set for Wednesday. The state’s third provider, the Aid for Women clinic in Kansas City, was denied a license without being inspected after disclosing on its application that its building would need extensive renovations to meet the regulations.

The rules are considered temporary, in effect for only four months, until the state health department can take public comments and consider changes.

Court orders arrest of Gadhafi, son, aide Thousands of jubilant Libyans danced and cheered in the streets of the rebel stronghold of Benghazi after the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant Monday for Moammar Gadhafi, accusing him of crimes against humanity for killing civilians who rose up against his rule.

The court order raised pressure on the Gadhafi regime, already targeted by daily airstrikes, and NATO clearly hopes it will encourage key allies to abandon him. But it also gives Gadhafi less incentive to accept a peaceful settlement that would see him leave power because of the subsequent threat of arrest.

The court in The Hague, Netherlands, lacks police powers, and the force most likely to arrest Gadhafi appears to be the rebels battling to oust him.

Warrants were also issued for Gadhafi’s son Seif al-Islam Gadhafi, whom he has groomed as his successor, and for Libyan intelligence chief Abdullah alSanoussi.

Wildfire shuts lab, forces evacuations Thousands of residents calmly fled Monday from the mesa-top town that’s home to the Los Alamos nuclear laboratory, ahead of an approaching wildfire that sent up towering plumes of smoke, rained down ash and sparked a spot fire on lab property where scientists 50 years ago conducted underground tests of radioactive explosives.

Los Alamos National Laboratory officials said that the spot fire was soon contained and no contamination was released. They also assured that radioactive materials stored in various spots elsewhere on the sprawling lab were safe from flames.

The wildfire, which began Sunday, had destroyed 30 structures south and west of Los Alamos by early Monday and forced the closure of the lab while stirring memories of a devastating blaze in May 2000 that destroyed hundreds of homes and buildings.

Ex-Lawrence administrator to be interim superintendent

Court overturns ban on video game sales

slinenberger@theworldco.info

The Supreme Court ruled Monday that it is unconstitutional to bar children from buying or renting violent video games, saying government doesn’t have the authority to “restrict the ideas to which children may be exposed” despite complaints that the popular and fast-changing technology allows the young to simulate acts of brutality.

On a 7-2 vote, the high court upheld a federal appeals court decision to throw out California’s ban on the sale or rental of violent video games to minors. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Sacramento had ruled that the law violated minors’ rights under the First Amendment, and the high court agreed.

Video game makers and sellers celebrated their victory, saying the decision puts them on the same legal footing as other forms of entertainment.

“I think it’s going to be a pretty good marriage for a year,” Weseman said.

Sprouts linked to salmonella poisoning The Food and Drug Administration is issuing a rare warning to consumers, asking diners to avoid Evergreen Produce brand alfalfa sprouts or spicy sprouts because they may be linked to 20 cases of salmonella poisoning.

The Idaho-based company has not recalled the sprouts though the FDA says they are possibly linked to illnesses in Idaho, Montana, New Jersey, North Dakota and Washington state. Nadine Scharf, who identified herself as the co-owner of the company, said Monday that the company has stopped producing the alfalfa and spicy sprouts but is not planning to recall them from store shelves.

Cribs get tougher safety standards It’s one of the biggest purchases for soon-to-be parents: a crib for baby. Beginning today, a new generation of cribs, designed to be safer, will be the only ones approved for sale — in stores, online, and even at neighborhood yard sales.

Ushering in one of the most significant changes in child safety in decades, the rule taking effect this week bans the manufacture, sale and resale of dropside cribs. Drop-sides have a side rail that can be raised and lowered to allow parents to more easily place or lift a baby, but they have been blamed in the deaths of several dozen children.

Another significant part of the new federal standard mandates more rigorous safety tests for children’s cribs before they hit the market.

Cottonwood honors U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins

By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins received a special award Monday at Cottonwood Inc. for her advocacy on behalf of people with disabilities.

“She endorses and supports and advocates the work that we do,” said CEO Sharon Spratt during a brief ceremony. “She helps people who have severe disabilities to be able to have employment opportunities and to live full lives, and for that we are greatly appreciative.”

Cottonwood is a nonprofit organization that provides services, including employment, to individuals with developmental disabilities.

Organizers of Lawrence’s Busker Festival are feeling the effects of Gov. Sam Brownback’s decision to eliminate funding for the state’s arts commission.

The decision left a $3,500 hole in the budget for the festival, said Richard Renner, a Lawrence artist and the event’s organizer.

The busker festival is an annual event in Lawrence that brings together and celebrates the art of street performers.

Renner is trying to recoup the $3,500 loss of public funding by starting a pledge drive.

As of Monday evening on an online pledge site — http://kck.st/jXQp13 — 12 people had donated $255.

Prizes are available for people who pledge at certain levels, Renner said.

“This is what the governor wants us to do,” Renner said.

“We’ll see if it works.”

He said that the festival’s total budget is somewhere around $10,000. The money he is trying to raise would pay for things like artist’s fees, shade tents for spectators and production fees.

This year’s festival will include a fundraiser for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Douglas County and is scheduled from Aug. 19-21 in downtown Lawrence.

On Monday in Topeka, the Kansas Arts Commission postponed its first meeting since Brownback vetoed its budget and made Kansas the first state to eliminate its arts funding.

The commission had planned to have a telephone conference call meeting, but technical difficulties prevented it. The meeting is now set for Wednesday afternoon.

Brownback wanted a nonprofit foundation to take over financing arts programs, relying heavily on private dollars. Legislators rejected his plan and set aside $689,000 for the commission.

The governor vetoed that money as well as a budget line authorizing staff for the commission.

The commission still exists by law, and it’s required to meet at least once every three months.

Chairwoman Linda Browning Weis is a recent Brownback appointee who’s promised to come up with a plan for supporting the arts.

Man arrested in 2010 meth raid pleads guilty to federal conspiracy charge

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

A 35-year-old Missouri man Monday pleaded guilty to a federal conspiracy charge and implicated other co-defendants in a methamphetamine distribution case connected to a 2010 raid east of Lawrence.

Robert D. Billinger entered the plea Monday afternoon in Kansas City, Kan., and admitted that he and co-defendants Donald Milton

Steele, Randy Jay Dyke and Anthony Wayne Sims, all of Lawrence, had provided an undercover officer with chemicals with the intent they be used COURTS to manufacture meth during a near three-month period starting in November 2009.

Billinger said he loaded chemicals he knew would be used to pro-

duce meth into an undercover officer’s vehicle and asked for some of the financial proceeds.

The men were arrested as part of a February 2010 two-day raid at Steele’s residence, 1706 N. 1500 Road. The property was also home to All Seasons Tree Service, a business Steele owned. Steele’s family sold the property, which contained dozens of old cars and trucks, after the raid.

Federal prosecutors have alleged

Pearson Collision Repair 749-4455

the scheme also involved a Topeka rental property Steele owned and that the defendants created counterfeit money. Kimberly M. Cline of Lawrence also faces charges in the case.

Last October, Sims pleaded guilty to the same conspiracy charge as Billinger, and he awaits a July 18 sentencing. Some facts surrounding Billinger’s guilty plea appear to be at odds with assertions by defense attorneys for Steele and Dyke, who

contend investigators engaged in “outrageous conduct.” They claim the undercover officer, not their clients, came up with the plan to manufacture methamphetamine and that officers found no evidence of meth at Steele’s Douglas County property, only small amounts of marijuana, stolen property and a weapon.

ACCIDENT REPORT • A 54-year-old rural Lawrence man was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital Sunday afternoon after an accident on the Farmers’ Turnpike involving his moped.

Douglas County Sheriff’s Sgt. Steve Buchholz said Donald Hattabaugh was injured when his eastbound moped wrecked at 12:30 p.m. Sunday on County Road 438 northwest of Lawrence.

written in a way that cities could set their own fines.

Winn estimated at least 20 to 25 of the state’s largest cities took advantage of that ability and set fines that were significantly higher than the $5 state level.

But Winn argues that a majority of legislators weren’t enthusiastic about changing the state’s seat-belt law in 2010. They did so because it made the state eligible for federal transportation grants that ended up totaling a little more than $11 million. Now, some seat-belt advocates argue the state is trying to minimize the law.

“Ten dollars is certainly less than a parking infraction in many cities,” said Judy Stone, president of the Washington, D.C.-based Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety.

“It sounds like a bit of retaliation of sorts.”

A state legislator who supported the change, however, said it was made out of fairness. Rep. Vince Wetta, DWellington, said the 2010 law never would have passed the Legislature if lawmakers thought some cities could charge nearly $100 for a ticket.

“Some local entities were using this as a money-making machine,” Wetta said.

In 2010, Lawrence issued

1,293 tickets for seat-belt violations, making it the thirdmost cited traffic offense, behind speeding and lack of insurance.

Wetta said there is a strong sentiment in the state that people shouldn’t be made to wear a seat belt.

“I definitely have heard from people who say we are taking people’s rights away from them,” Wetta said.

“They believe they ought to have the right to not wear a seat belt. In a way, I believe the same thing, but when you look at the statistics about the lives seat belts save, they’re hard to argue with.”

Wetta said he thinks even a $10 fine, combined with education, will be enough to encourage motorists to use seat belts.

Lawrence leaders already have changed their codes to lower the fines on July 1.

“We weren’t really happy about it,” said Toni Wheeler, the city’s director of legal services. “We thought that if it was an infraction, we should be able to decide on an appropriate penalty.”

Wheeler said she doubts that the $10 fee will cover the city’s actual costs to issue the ticket and run it through the Municipal Court system. But she said the city does not have any plans to reduce enforcement of the law.

Failed robbery attempt brings prison sentence Staff Report

C.J. Friesen, computer technician, Lawrence “We just saw ‘Super 8’ and that was the only one I was looking forward to.”

Miriam Friesen, farm intern, Lawrence “’Cowboys & Aliens.’”

A Douglas County judge Monday ordered an 18-yearold Lawrence man to serve three years and five months in prison for a foiled robbery last February in Oread neighborhood.

District Judge Sally Pokorny ordered Clinton Vince Dubray, who earlier pleaded no contest to attempted aggravated robbery and obstruction, to serve 41 month in prison. Prosecutors accused Dubray of using a gun Feb. 26 to try to rob a 43year-old man who was walking in the 1100 block of Tennessee Street.

Dubray’s cousin Franklin Spottedtail, 20, of Lawrence, had run up behind the victim and grabbed his arms, but a Lawrence police off icer drove by and interrupted the duo. Dubray and Spottedtail ran away, but officers later arrested them.

Dubray showed remorse for the victim as his attorney asked Pokorny to sentence

him to probation. Defense attorney Napoleon Crews said Dubray had a rough life growing up with family members in South Dakota who had substance-abuse problems. Dubray said he was intoxicated that night, that he backed out of trying to rob one other person earlier because people were around and that the gun was not loaded when he pointed it at the man.

Assistant District Attorney Michael Allen said Dubray had failed at past probation chances as a juvenile offender.

Pokorny said she felt sorry for Dubray, based on his early life, but she agreed with Allen.

“The bottom line is, you have had an opportunity to try and get things turned around when you came here and were placed in the juvenile system,” the judge said.

Pokorny already sentenced Spottedtail to serve 34 months in prison after he pleaded guilty in the case.

Congresswoman talks budget with Rotarians

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins, RKan., voiced support Monday in Lawrence for a GOP House budget plan that includes Medicare reform and said Democrats had failed to present an alternative.

“We’ve got the do-nothing plan, and we’ve got the House Republican plan,” said Jenkins, who spoke to the Lawrence Noon Rotary Club at Holiday Inn Lawrence, 200 McDonald Drive. “I will be the first to admit it’s not perfect, but it is a plan. And at the end of the day it solves a problem.”

Jenkins, a former state treasurer from Topeka, has sup-

ported a plan crafted by Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis. Democrats have criticized the plan, alleging it would end Medicare.

But Jenkins, who is serving her second term representing the state’s 2nd Congressional District, including western Lawrence, told Rotarians that Medicare would remain the same for people 55 and older.

“We made promises to our retirees, and, I think, should not be breaking promises to those folks who are in retirement or near retirement because they’ve been making plans,” Jenkins said.

But she said the Congressional Budget Office estimated with no current changes that Medicare could go bank-

rupt in nine years and touted a plan to try to balance the budget mostly through an adjustment to provide aid based on income for anyone 54 or younger.

Once people turn 65 and become eligible for Medicare, they would receive a fixed payment to purchase private insurance.

“Those who don’t need any help don’t get any help, with most of us being anywhere in between,” Jenkins said.

Although she did criticize President Obama and Democrats on Medicare, Jenkins spent most of her appearance at Rotary talking about the government debt.

Party leaders are negotiating

ahead of an Aug. 2 deadline to raise the debt ceiling.

Republicans have argued for deep spending cuts with no tax increases, while the White House insists on some higher taxes as part of any compromise.

Jenkins said she didn’t want the government to surpass its debt ceiling but that spending cuts need to be part of the deal.

“I’m not sure we want to walk the plank,” she said. “I don’t think it’s just wise to just raise it without fixing the problem either.”

facility before. But it was the first time that the Cottonwood Choir performed for her. They sang “Home on the Range” and “America the Beautiful.”

“That was a real treat,” she said.

Jenkins said Congress is focusing on job creation and getting people back to work.

“You all are a great success story,” she said. “I am just so impressed with the way this place is operated and the support from the community and the good work that these men and women do on behalf of the American people.”

Jenkins CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

Spratt presented Jenkins, a Republican from the 2nd District, with the AbilityOne Champion award before about 100 Cottonwood employees and 30 guests, including board members and local dignitaries.

The award reflects Jenkins’ commitment to a U.S. Department of Defense contract to produce cargo tie-down straps for all branches of the military. The straps are used to move supplies, and Cottonwood is the sole producer of the straps.

Cottonwood has had the contract since 1999. It has been awarded in five-year increments.

“We hope it continues forever,” Spratt said.

Last year, Cottonwood produced a record 900,000 straps. Spratt said the contract provides jobs like sewing, labeling and packing for about 90 individuals.

“It helps them to earn a paycheck. It helps them to be able to afford to go on trips and do all of the fun things

that all of us want to do. Plus, it enhances their selfesteem,” she said. “People who have a good, productive day and feel good about what they are doing are healthier, happier people — no matter whether they have a disability or not.”

Energy Conservation Fair seeks exhibitors, energy-efficient homes

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

If you are an energy-conscious homeowner, business or organization, then consider circling Sept. 10 on the calendar.

The city of Lawrence has issued a call for exhibitors for its 11th-annual Lawrence Conservation Fair. It also is asking people with energyefficient homes to enter the Lawrence Sustainable Homes Tour.

This year’s fair, which creates a tradeshow setting for those focused on energy efficiency and conservation, will be from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sept. 10 at the Lawrence Community Building, 115 W. 11th St. In the past, the fair has featured exhibitors who were builders, architects, insulators, heating and cooling experts, government agencies, nonprofits and alternative-fuel representatives.

And, sometimes it even has musicians singing ecofriendly ballads.

Before Aug. 15, it costs $100 to register as an exhibitor. After that, the registration fee is $125. The fee is waived for nonprof it organizations and government agencies.

Exhibit space is filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

The city also is looking for up to eight homes, businesses or public agencies that are energy-savvy to be part of its home tour.

The tour will showcase buildings that demonstrate energy-saving techniques and sustainability through design, efficient appliances and use of green materials during remodeling.

Preference is given to buildings inside the city limits and to those that have solar electric, passive solar, solar hot water, energy-efficient installations or other resource-conservation measures.

Construction of the building should be complete or nearly complete at the time of the tour.

As part of the energy conservation fair, there will be two tours that day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. About 100 people visit the home during the day.

The deadline to enter a building is Aug. 1.

To register either a building or as an exhibitor, go to lawrenceks.org/wrr/energyfair. For more information, email the city’s waste reduction and recycling division at recycling@lawrenceks.org or call 832-3030.

LHS assistant principal named

By Mark Fagan mfagan@ljworld.com

Lawrence High School will start the next school year with a new assistant principal.

Mark Preut, who is finishing his sixth year as a junior/senior high principal in the Atchison County Community Schools in Effingham, will assume the fulltime position at Lawrence High created by the Lawrence school district.

Preut will be a full-time assistant principal, while Felton Avery will handle such administrative responsibilities on a part-time basis.

Preut’s hiring means he will be returning to the school where he had worked for a semester, in 1991-92, when he taught Advanced Placement history and

upper-level social studies courses for a teacher who was on sabbatical.

“I’m really looking forward to working at Preut Lawrence High again,” he said. “I began my career student teaching with two superb Lawrence teachers (Paul Stuewe and Fran McNellis) and had my first teaching experience at LHS. My wife is a Lawrence High graduate, so for both of us it’s like coming home.”

Preut earned his bachelor’s degree at Kansas University and a master’s from Benedictine College. He’s worked previously as an assistant principal at Maur Hill-Mount Academy in Atchison, from 1998 to 2005, and a teacher

and coach at Maur Hill Prep/Maur Hill Mount Academy, from 1992 to 2005.

“Mark is a student-focused administrator and a great fit for LHS,” said Matt Brungardt, principal at Lawrence High. “He has a wealth of experience in the areas of school improvement and professional learning communities. Mark understands the importance of building relationships with students, parents, colleagues and community members in order to provide a positive school climate for student achievement.”

Still serving on the school’s leadership team are Margene Brohammer, associate principal; and Mike Norris and Avery as assistant principals.

He will begin his employment in Tonganoxie on Friday.

Originally from the western Kansas community of Dighton, Weseman served in the Air Force and then graduated from Kansas University.

He student-taught in Lawrence before being hired as a high school teacher in 1976. He later taught at the junior high level and was a building administrator, both as assistant principal and

were involved in methamphetamine production or trafficking until a confidential informant and undercover officer introduced them to the idea,” Steele’s defense attorney Thomas Telhorst wrote in a motion.

The defense also says that from Dec. 30, 2009, to Feb. 17, 2010, Steele engaged in 28 conversations about meth but that the informant and officer

Tonganoxie is Thursday.

“We made it by the July 1 deadline. We’re very happy,” said Diane Truesdell, Tonganoxie school board president. “We were looking for someone with experience and we feel (Weseman) has lots of enthusiasm and we’re looking forward to working with him.”

Weseman oversaw the seventh largest school district in the state while in Lawrence.

Enrollment in the Lawrence district this past school year was about 10,600, compared with 1,900 students in the Tonganoxie district.

“I’m certainly aware of how small towns work and the issues they face,” Weseman said. “They all want the best for their kids and their community, and that’s how I plan to serve them.”

initiated all but four of them.

In his plea agreement, Billinger alleged that the topic of manufacturing methamphetamine was first brought up between Steele, the officer and informant on Dec. 30, 2009, but that Steele was preoccupied with programming his cellphone and did not actively participate in the conversation. The informant later told officers Steele had ‘broached the subject” of manufacturing meth as a way of “generating quick money,” according to Billinger’s plea.

Billinger also alleges Steele was involved in plans for getting the operation set up and that Dyke would purchase chemicals to produce the drugs before he and others were arrested in the raid.

Prosecutors agree to seek a reduction under federal sentencing guidelines and to consider Billinger a minor participant. Billinger agreed to provide testimony in the case.

principal, at the junior high level before eventually being named superintendent in 2000. He retired in 2009.

Following retirement, Weseman has done some consulting for the Kansas Association of School Boards, which gave his name to the Tonganoxie district as a potential interim superintendent.

Asked about returning to education administration during the current climate that includes continued state funding cuts, Weseman said it’s nothing new to him. Though he said districts are facing challenging times, he said he’s had “a lot of experience with budgets that were under stress with lack of state funding. It’s nothing new to me.”

Weseman, 62, replaces Superintendent Kyle Hayden, who recently accepted an administrative position with the Lawrence school district.

BRIEFLY

Officials still trying to identify body Lawrence police detectives and investigators with the Douglas County Coroner’s Office are still working to identify a body found Saturday evening in a creek area in east Lawrence.

Sgt. Matt Sarna, a police spokesman, said on Monday afternoon that detectives continued to conduct interviews and that officers were waiting on more information from the coroner’s office.

Police were called at 7:30 p.m. Saturday to Brookwood Mobile Home Park, 1908 E. 19th St., after a resident discovered the body in a nearby creek, Sarna said.

Police said there were “no obvious signs of foul play.” But Sarna added: “We always investigate any unattended death to the fullest extent until we figure out the circumstances surrounding the incident.”

Chicken pox vaccine discount to expire A special rate for chicken pox vaccine is good through Wednesday. Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department is able to offer the vaccine for $14 because of a grant-funded program. The vaccine alone typically costs $85.

Adolescents, ages 10 to 18, in need of either the first or second dose of the vaccine can take advantage of the reduced rate by visiting the health department clinic at 200 Maine.

No appointment is necessary.

For the 2011-2012 school year, two doses of the chicken pox vaccine will be required for all incoming seventh-graders.

For more information, call 843-2930 or visit ldchealth.org.

New leader named for Head Start group The Kansas Head Start Association will welcome a new executive director to its Lawrence headquarters Aug. 1.

Lori Alvarado, who served for the past three years as a regional director for the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services, succeeds Mary Baskett, who is retiring after serving as the association’s leader since 1999.

The association, 932 Mass., represents all 28 Head Start programs in Alvarado the state, which provide child development services to economically disadvantaged children and families, with a special focus on helping preschoolers develop early reading and math skills.

Before her work at SRS, Alvarado served as director of DCCCA Family Service Center and DCCCA Regional Prevention Center, both in Lawrence.

She also has worked with Head Start and Early Head Start programs as a trainer.

MISSOURI RIVER FLOODING

NRC chairman says Neb. plants safe

By Josh Funk and Nelson Lampe Associated Press Writers

BLAIR, NEB. — The nation’s top nuclear power regulator said Monday that both of Nebraska’s nuclear power plants have remained safe as they battle floodwaters from the bloated Missouri River.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission Chairman Gregory Jaczko visited both Fort Calhoun and Cooper nuclear power plants in eastern Nebraska this week to see how the utilities that run them are coping with the flooding. Both plants sit on the river.

The Omaha Public Power District’s Fort Calhoun is the subject of more public concern because the floodwaters have surrounded that plant and forced workers to use elevated catwalks to access the facility. Nebraska Public Power District’s Cooper plant is more elevated.

Jaczko’s visit to Fort Calhoun Monday came one day

after an 8-foot-tall, waterfilled temporary berm protecting the plant collapsed early Sunday. OPPD plans to replace the 2,000-foot berm with a similar one early next month and then pump out the floodwaters to restore a dry buffer area.

“We don’t believe the plant is posing an immediate threat to the health and safety of the public,” Jaczko said.

Omaha Public Power District spokesman Jeff Hanson said pumps at Fort Calhoun were handling the problem and that “everything is secure and safe.” The plant, about 20 miles north of Omaha, has been closed for refueling since April. Hanson said the berm’s collapse didn’t affect the shutdown or the spent fuel pool cooling.

Either floodwaters from the Missouri River or groundwater seeped into several of the peripheral buildings at Fort Calhoun, but plant manager Tim Nellenbach said all of the areas containing radioactive material

$

or crucial safety gear remained dry.

Jaczko said the Army Corps of Engineers doesn’t expect the river to rise enough to cause additional significant problems at either of the nuclear plants in Nebraska.

“Bottom line, it looks like the levels are going to be at a place where the plant should be able to deal with it,” Jaczko said.

Flooding remains a concern all along the Missouri because of massive amounts of water the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has released from upstream reservoirs.

The river is expected to rise as much as 5 to 7 feet above flood stage in much of Nebraska and Iowa and as much as 10 feet over flood stage in parts of Missouri.

The corps expects the river to remain high at least into August because of heavy spring rains in the upper Plains and substantial Rocky Mountain snowpack melting into the river basin.

Court limits state rules on campaign spending

By Mark Sherman Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court imposed new limits Monday on states trying to restrain the influence of money in politics, striking down a law that tied the amount of public funds a candidate receives to how much privately funded rivals spend.

The 5-4 ruling was the latest in a series of decisions by the court’s conservative majority upending campaign finance laws. But the court did not attack the validity of using public funds for campaign f inancing, giving a glimmer of hope to advocates of restrictions on spending in political campaigns.

Instead, Chief Justice John Roberts’ majority opinion dwelled on the so-called trigger mechanism in an Arizona law that provided differing levels of money to publicly funded candidates based on the spending by privately funded rivals and independent groups.

The law was passed after a public corruption scandal and was intended to reward candidates who forgo raising their own campaign cash, even in the face of heavy spending by opponents with private money. Those who challenged the Arizona law said it caused them to rein in spending to prevent their political opponents from getting a fresh infusion of state money.

The court said the trigger violates the First Amendment, but left in place the rest of Arizona’s public financing system. “ L aws l i ke A r i zo n a ’s matching funds provision t h a t i n h i b i t ro b u s t a n d wide-open political debate without sufficient justification cannot stand,” Roberts said.

At least four other states, Maine, New Mexico, North Carolina and Wisconsin, have similar “trigger” provisions that affect some political races, and could be vulnerable.

Soldier posts bond in robbery case A 23-year-old Fort Leavenworth soldier who was charged last week and accused of robbing two Kansas University students on campus posted bond and was released Saturday from the Douglas County Jail.

According to jail records, Brandon James Huggins used a bondsman to post $60,000 Saturday evening.

Douglas County prosecutors Friday charged Huggins and another man, 21-year-old Michael Martin Gerald, each with two counts of aggravated robbery, one count of conspiracy to commit robbery and one count of aggravated intimidation of a victim. KU officials said two male students reported they were robbed after they were approached by two men, both of whom were armed with a gun, behind Snow Hall at 1:45 a.m. Thursday.

Capt. Schuyler Bailey, a KU Public Safety spokesman, said Monday a third person was in the suspects’ vehicle. But officers don’t believe he was involved with the robbery, and he was not arrested.

Rebecca Steed, a Fort Leavenworth spokeswoman, said Monday that Huggins and the third person were soldiers stationed at the U.S. Army post.

Jail records listed a Fort Leavenworth address for Gerald, who remains in custody on $75,000 bond, but Steed said no records indicated he was affiliated with the fort.

Huggins and Gerald are next due in court Thursday.

Jury convicts Blagojevich of corruption at retrial

By Michael Tarm and Karen Hawkins Associated Press Writers

C H I C A G O — Rod Blagojevich, who rode his talkative everyman image to two terms as Illinois governor before scandal made him a national punch line, was convicted Monday of a wide range of corruption charges, including the incendiary allegation that he tried to sell or trade President Barack Obama’s Senate seat.

The verdict was a bitter defeat for Blagojevich, who had spent 2 1/2 years professing his innocence on reality TV shows and later on the witness stand. His defense team had insisted that hours of FBI wiretap recordings were just the ramblings of a politician who liked to think out loud.

He faces up to 300 years in prison, although federal sentencing guidelines are sure to significantly reduce his time behind bars.

After hearing the verdict, Blagojevich turned to defense attorney Sheldon Sorosky and asked “What happened?” His wife, Patti, slumped against her brother, then rushed into her husband’s arms.

Before the decision was read, the couple looked flushed, and the former governor blew his wife a kiss across the courtroom, then stood expressionless, with his hands clasped tightly.

The verdict capped a longrunning spectacle in which Blagojevich became famous for blurting on a recorded phone call that his ability to appoint Obama’s successor to the Senate was “f---ing golden” and that he wouldn’t let it go “for f---ing nothing.”

The former governor spoke only briefly with reporters as he left the courthouse, saying he was disap-

FORMER ILLINOIS GOV. ROD BLAGOJEVICH speaks to the media at the Federal Courthouse Monday in Chicago.

Blagojevich has been convicted of 17 of the 20 charges against him, including all 11 charges related to his attempt to sell or trade President Barack Obama's vacated Senate seat.

At right is his wife, Patti. pointed and stunned by the verdict.

“Well, among the many lessons I’ve learned from this whole experience is to try to speak a little bit less, so I’m going to keep my remarks kind of short,” Blagojevich said, adding that the couple wanted “to get home to our little girls and talk to them and explain things to them and then try to sort things out.”

Blagojevich, who has been free on bond since shortly after his arrest, becomes the second straight Illinois governor convicted of corruption. His predecessor, George Ryan, is now serving 6 1/2 years in federal prison.

The case exploded into scandal when Blagojevich was awakened by federal agents on Dec. 9, 2008, at his Chicago home and was led away in handcuffs. Federal prosecutors had been investigating his administration for years, and some of his closest cronies had already been convicted.

Blagojevich, who was also accused of shaking down

businessmen for campaign contributions, was swiftly impeached and removed from office.

The verdict provided affirmation to U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald, one of the nation’s most prominent prosecutors, who, after the governor’s arrest, had condemned Blagojevich’s dealings as a “political crime spree.”

“The jury sent a loud and clear message that Governor Blagojevich committed very serious crimes shaking down a children’s hospital, trying to sell a Senate seat and demanding cash campaign contributions in advance before signing a bill,” Fitzgerald said. “This is a bittersweet moment.”

Referring to the verdict against Ryan five years ago, he said: “I hope that that message is heard this time.”

Mentioned at times as a possible future FBI director, Fitzgerald pledged to retry the governor after the first jury deadlocked on all but the least serious of 24 charges against him.

White House confident ‘significant’ deal on debt could be reached

By Jim Kuhnhenn Associated Press Writer

W A S H I N G T O N — President Barack Obama plunged into deadlocked negotiations to cut government deficits and raise the nation’s debt limit Monday, and the White House expressed confidence a “signif icant” deal with Republicans could be reached. But both sides only seemed to harden their positions as the day wore on, the administration insisting on higher taxes as part of the package but Republican leaders flatly rejecting the idea.

Obama and Vice President Joe Biden met with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., for about 30 minutes at the White House, and then met with Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky for about an hour in the early evening.

White House spokesman Jay Carney said Obama reported after the morning session that “everyone in the room believes that a significant deal remains possible.” But Carney also affirmed that Obama would only go for a deficit-reduction plan that included both spending cuts and increased tax revenue, an approach that Republicans say would never get through Congress.

Obama and the vice president spent more time with McConnell than they did with Reid, an indication of the differences they still need to bridge. McConnell also was seen speaking with White House Chief of Staff Bill Daley moments before his meeting with Obama and Biden.

“The meeting concluded but they will continue to talk,” McConnell spokesman Don Stewart said afterward.

Hours earlier McConnell reaffirmed Republican opposition to more tax hikes in a speech from the Senate floor.

“It’s time Washington take the hit,” he said, “not the taxpayers.”

BUSINESS AT A GLANCE

Notable ● By the end of this week, Washington will close its official tourism agency and become the only state to cease all state funding for self-promotion. It’s just one example of how states are coping with budget deficits brought on by slumping tax revenue.

In May, the state Legislature eliminated the remaining funding for the tourism agency, about $2 million for the coming fiscal year. State support had been as high as $7 million in years past.

Not all states are following Washington’s approach. Some view tourism as a key industry that will contribute to an economic rebound, one that is worthy of state support even in an era of declining revenue for other services.

After grim first half of 2011, analysts optimistic second half will be better

By Paul Wiseman and Christopher S. Rugaber Associated Press Writers

WASHINGTON — Farewell and good riddance to the first half of 2011 — six months that are ending as sour for the economy as they began.

Most analysts say economic growth will perk up in the second half of the year. The reason is that the main causes of the slowdown — high oil prices and manufacturing delays because of the disaster in Japan — have started to fade.

“Some of the headwinds that caused us to slow are turning into tail winds,” said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics.

For an economy barely inching ahead two years after the Great Recession ended, the first half of 2011 can’t end soon enough. Severe storms and rising gasoline prices held growth in January, February and March to a glacial annual rate of 1.9 percent.

The current quarter isn’t shaping up much better. The average growth forecast of 38 top economists surveyed by The Associated Press is 2.3 percent.

The economy has to grow 3 percent a year just to hold the unemployment rate steady and keep up with population growth. And it has to average about 5 percent growth for a year to lower the unemployment rate by a full percentage point. It is 9.1 percent today.

As welcome as the stronger growth envisioned in the sec-

ond half is, the improvement should be modest. For the final six months of the year, the AP economists forecast a growth rate of 3.2 percent.

So far this year, high gas and food prices have discouraged people from spending much on other things — from furniture and appliances to dinners out and vacations.

That spending fuels economic growth.

And some U.S. auto factories had to suspend or trim production after the March earthquake in Japan interrupted supplies of parts and electronics. American dealerships have had fewer cars to sell.

The latest dose of glum news: The government reported Monday that consumer spending was about the same in May as in April, the first time in a year that spending hasn’t increased from the previous month.

The report confirmed the toll that high gas prices, Japan-related disruptions and high unemployment have taken on personal spending in the second quarter.

“Here’s to a better third,” says Jennifer Lee, senior economist at BMO Capital Markets.

Relief is in sight, economists say. Oil prices have been falling since Memorial Day. The drop has lowered the price of regular unleaded gasoline by 23 cents in the past month, to a national average of $3.57 a gallon, according to AAA. The timing of the drop in

gas prices is especially fortunate because they usually rise during summer driving season, says Robert DiClemente, chief U.S. economist at Citigroup.

McConnell said any tax increase or new spending would be counterproductive to economic recovery, and he pointed out that Democrats had been unable to pass tax increases on the wealthy when they controlled both chambers of Congress last year.

“Let’s move past tax hikes, talk about what’s actually possible, and let’s talk about

what has and hasn’t worked over the past two years,” said the Kentucky Republican.

Reid said, “I hope my Republican colleagues will put the economy ahead of politics.” Speaking on the Senate floor, he said, “I hope they’ll join us to create jobs and set aside their desire to please the tea party and defeat President Obama.”

Toothless law Starting Friday, cities like Lawrence will be forced to lower their seat-belt fines to a level that will be easy for many motorists to ignore.

L

ast year, Kansas legislators passed a seat belt law with a fine so low that there is little or no incentive to abide by it.

This year, they made sure all Kansas cities would have to do the same.

A new law went into effect on July 1, 2010, that made it a primary offense for people 18 and older not to wear a seat belt. That means that motorists can be stopped simply for a seat belt violation even if no other violation occurred. They also can be charged a fine — but not much of one. The previous fine for a seat belt violation was $30 plus court costs. On July 1, 2010, the fine dropped to $5; on Friday it will rise to $10. However both of the latter fines include court costs.

It was clear at the time that legislators passed the primary seat belt law, not because they wanted to save Kansas lives, but because they wanted the $11 million in federal highway dollars to which the law would give them access. The “threat” of a $5 or $10 fine isn’t a serious incentive to wear a seat belt.

Nonetheless, legislators this year decided to extend their folly to cities, which previously had been allowed to charge higher fines within their city limits. In Lawrence, the fine has been $40 plus $60 in court costs; similar fines existed in other Kansas cities. However, starting Friday, no city will be allowed to charge more than a $10 fine for a seat belt violation.

And that must include court costs, which means cities and their municipal courts will have to bear the financial burdens of any effort to enforce the seat belt law while receiving only minimal income from fines and no payment for court costs.

Last August, after the $5 fine went into effect, Kansas Secretary of Transportation Deb Miller was among those who noted the fine’s lack of deterrence and supported higher fines for the seat belt law. Rather than responding to that concern, legislators made the situation worse with their mandate to cities.

The primary purpose of state and municipal traffic laws is to increase safety on Kansas roads and highways and protect Kansas motorists. Raising the speed limit on many highways while lowering the incentive for drivers and their passengers to wear life-saving seat belts seems contrary to those goals.

Powerful U.S. guns fuel Mexico violence As the number of violent deaths along the U.S.-Mexico border continues to climb, a new report reveals a chilling trend: U.S. gun manufacturers, faced with declining sales, are increasingly selling high-powered military-style firearms to civilians.

The report by the Violence Policy Center advocacy group, titled “The militarization of the U.S. civilian firearms market,” says that the civilian firearms industry in the United States has been in decline for several decades, partly because of the growing popularity of video games and the fact that younger Americans and immigrants are less prone to buying guns.

While the U.S. population grew by 24 percent in the two decades ending in 2000, the U.S. production of small weapons fell by 33 percent, it says.

So what has been the gun industry’s response? Try to sell bigger, more-lethal weapons, many of which are used in mass shootings, attacks on U.S. law enforcement officers, or are sold to the Mexican and Central American drug cartels.

Mexican President Felipe Calderon said in Washington last year that more than 80 percent of the guns and assault rifles seized in Mexico that have been traced come from the United States. And in the United States, there are 10 times more people killed and injured annually by guns than there were victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the report says.

growing sales of “these… themilitary-style weapons have become a regional problem that requires regional solutions.”

“The U.S. civilian gun market has become a militarized bazaar,” it says. In order to increase revenues, U.S. gun manufacturers are bombarding consumers with ads portraying the message that civilians — just like real soldiers — can easily own military-style weapons, it says.

For instance, faced with a 1986 law that bans the sale of machine guns to civilians, the gun industry has in recent years promoted sales of semiautomatic assault weapons that are similar to AK47 and M-16 military assault rifles.

Unlike machine guns, semiautomatic weapons require that their trigger be pulled back separately for each bullet. But gun

manufacturers are increasingly adding new features to their semiautomatic weapons — such as detachable ammunition magazines that hold as many as 75 rounds of ammunition — that turn their products into formidable killing machines.

“The difference between semiautomatic rifles and machine guns is negligible,” the study’s author, Tom Diaz, told me.

“Semiautomatic rifles are just as deadly. You can actually be more accurate, because the gun itself doesn’t climb like a machine gun.”

Now that the violence along the U.S.-Mexico border and the killing of U.S. law enforcement officers are focusing growing media attention on U.S. gun manufacturers’ sales of military-style weapons, the gun lobby has rebranded semiautomatic assault weapons as “modern sporting rifles.” But there’s nothing sports-related about these weapons, Diaz said.

I called the National Rifle Association’s press office about a half-dozen times over several days for an official reaction to the report, but was told that all NRA spokespersons were too busy to respond.

Other pro-gun activists told me that semiautomatic weapons are used for sports, and that only a small percentage of violent deaths in the United States are caused by semiautomatic weapons. In addition, they say that many of the U.S.-made heavy

weapons used by Mexico’s drug cartels are being purchased from corrupt Mexican army officers.

My opinion: With more than 40,000 deaths in drug-related shootings in Mexico over the past five years, an escalating death toll in Central America and the Caribbean, and U.S. policemen being outgunned by criminals in many cities, the growing sales of these military-style weapons have become a regional problem that requires regional solutions.

The Obama administration should seek congressional ratification of a 1997 regional treaty known as CIFTA, which tries to crack down on illicit firearms trafficking in the Americas. President Barack Obama has said he supports CIFTA, but isn’t doing much to get it passed by Congress.

And Latin American countries should step up diplomatic pressure on the United States to get Congress to reinstate a ban on assault weapons that was allowed to expire in 2004, as well as to get Obama to issue an executive order to stop imports of military-style weapons that often end up in the hands of Mexican and Central American drug cartels.

How many more people have to die in mass shootings across the hemisphere before we put an end to this madness?

PUBLIC FORUM

Offensive To the editor: At the recent Republican presidential debate Rick Santorum said he had “taken bullets” for the pro-life cause.

Given that several courageous doctors, like Dr. George Tiller of Wichita, have been murdered, with real bullets, for providing women with legal abortions, Santorum’s remark, obviously meant only figuratively, is profoundly offensive.

My thanks to the ACLU and Steven Singular, the author of “The Wichita Divide,” for their encouragement to speak out about the current assault

by Republicans and other radicals on women’s rights.

For millions and millions of tennis fans around the world, summer offers a plethora of thrills and memories. It gets no bigger than the French Open, Wimbledon and the U.S. Open, each a unique and entertaining event.

But caught up in individual matches and rivalries, too often we ignore a major story playing out on our television sets: the global nature of these competitions.

Increasingly, tennis draws some of the world’s finest athletes, men and women of enormous energy and skill. Competitors in these tournaments come from more than 40 countries, making tennis one of the world’s premier international sporting events.

For years, certainly until the mid-1980s, tennis was dominated

by Americans and Australians.

Not so today. Of the eight 2011 French Open semi-finalists, one each came from China, France, Italy, Russia, Scotland, Serbia, Switzerland, and Spain.

Certainly, great entertainment comes from seeing so many exceptional athletes compete. But another part of the drama comes from hearing the personal stories of the individuals who play the game.

Their voyages to tennis greatness are varied and compelling.

And luckily for the American audience, most of the stories are told in English: many professional tennis players are bilingual and even trilingual. They understand the clear advantage of being able

to speak English, and it is common to hear a European or South American explain in English his/her strategy, analysis and background.

With clarity, this polyglot game reflects the world’s understanding of the importance of language: that speaking more than one language helps us Budig not only to communicate but to understand other cultures in a multi-national world.

But there are even more benefits to learning language. In a recent essay in the New York Times, a researcher at York University in Toronto shows that bilingualism sharpens our thought patterns and makes our mental processes faster and more efficient. It makes multi-tasking easier. It even forestalls the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease. On average, bilinguals showed Alzheimer’s symptoms five or six years later than those who spoke only one language.

Unfortunately, residents of the United States do not appreciate foreign languages as much as other countries do. Some telling facts: ● Enrollment in modern language courses at our colleges and universities has remained unchanged since 2006, at 8.6 per 100 total enrollments. ● This figure reached a high of 16.5 enrollments per 100 overall in

1980. ● The decline is best explained by a drop in language requirements at American colleges and universities and by an expansion in the number of disciplines studied. ● But the percentage of elementary and middle schools offering foreign language instruction decreased significantly from 1997 to 2008: from 31 percent to 25 percent of all elementary schools and from 75 percent to 58 percent at all middle schools.

The bottom line is this: We should be encouraging our children to learn foreign languages, recognizing their fundamental importance to building relationships in an ever-changing world.

And for the five million English language learners in K-12 education, the vast majority of whom are working on a second language, we should support a continued commitment to their first language, while encouraging their mastery of English.

We want our citizens to understand the world in which they live and the people they are living with. We want our citizens to be healthy. We want them to see both sides of every issue. We want them to be good thinkers. And we want our tennis players to speak the beautiful and ancient languages of their gracious hosts.

Judy Wright, coordinator of the Independence Days festival, estimated YEARS the office was AGO receiving about 40 IN 1986 calls a day about the celebration, several from out of town. Early indications on ticket sales were promising, as several local locations had called Wright to bring additional tickets for them to sell.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for June 28, 1911: YEARS "No little uneasiAGO ness is being felt by IN 1911 friends of Herman Brocker over the latter's mysterious absence from the city. Mr. Brocker has not been seen or heard from here since last Saturday night when he told one of his employees that he was going away but would be back Monday night. ... The Brocker tin shop at 834 Massachusetts street remained closed all day Monday and Tuesday."

A Good Fight Tonight, The Granada, 1020 Mass., showcases some catchy pop/rock music from A Good Fight, the pride of Fayetteville, Ark. The band is touring in support of their 2010 self-titled album, which was a mix of traditional pop lyricism, strong hooks and squeaky clean production coupled with some vocal work from Eddie Love. They are joined

by Amsterdam, a six-piece act from Liverpool. Despite the band’s name and country of origin discrepancy, the combination of rollicking, sing-a-long style sea shanties solidify the band as strictly British within five minutes of listening to them. Lawrence’s The Faded Age opens the show. Lead

(AP) — Thousands of animal lovers from Missouri and beyond flocked to Joplin over the weekend to adopt hundreds of pets displaced by a deadly tornado in late May. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and Joplin Humane Society found permanent homes for 745 pets during an “adopt-a-thon” event on Saturday and Sunday. The groups say they drew more than 5,700 people from 24 states.

Organizers waived adoption fees to encourage participation, and all cats and dogs were spayed or neutered and provided with microchips, vaccines and ID tags at no cost.

“We’re completely floored by the amazing outpouring of support,” said Joplin native Tim Rickey, an ASPCA field investigator. “Thanks to the generosity of these wonderful people, the animals left homeless by last month’s tornado are sleeping in new beds tonight.”

The national animal advocacy group provided emergency shelter for 1,300 pets since the May 22 tornado that killed 156 people, injured hundreds and destroyed an estimated 7,000 homes. Nearly

500 animals were reunited with their owners. Two hundred more animals await adoption, including newborns and injured animals not yet ready to leave.

Prospective pet owners began lining up at 5 a.m. on Saturday, five hours before the event’s official start. Managing the overflow crowd required the help of local police and volunteers.

Shelter workers took extensive steps to reunite lost and injured animals with their owners, from posting yard signs and fliers to radio and TV ads to social media campaigns. They also extended the mandatory holding period for animals affected by the disaster an effort to reunite as many people and pets as possible but also acknowledged that some pet owners, overwhelmed by circumstances, likely chose to abandon their animals.

To handle the additional cats and dogs, the organization turned two vacant warehouses next to the shelter into air-conditioned kennels. None of the pets left homeless by the tornado will be euthanized.

Those not adopted locally will be sent to rescue organizations across the country.

Duck tales

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Give Barry a mic To hear the author of the greatest underdog story in NBA history talk about the reasons for the Dallas Mavericks’ upset of the Miami Heat is to realize pro basketball needs Rick Barry back sitting court-side, spilling incisive commentary faster than defenders fell in front of him on his drives to pull-up jumpers.

“The guy I’d like to get my hands on is LeBron James,” Barry said in a telephone interview from his Colorado Springs home. “This guy should be such a freaking monster. What he did in the playoffs, I felt sorry for him. There are so many fundamental things he should have been taught. He’s really been short-changed.”

Such as?

“He doesn’t know how to use screens,” Barry said. “He has a major flaw in his shot. He doesn’t know how to use his first dribble as an attacking move. I could turn him into a beast.

He’s one of the most gifted guys ever when you look at his power, strength, court sense.

My God, it breaks my heart to have to watch him. He should be doing so much more, and he’s still pretty unbelievable.”

It’s not as if Barry doesn’t bring credibility. He’s the only player to execute the triple feat of leading the NCAA, ABA and NBA in scoring. He led a Golden State Warriors team most predicted wouldn’t make the playoffs to the 1975 NBA title with a four-game sweep of the Washington Bullets.

Jamaal Wilkes and rookie Phil Smith were his most talented teammates, and still Barry helped the Warriors sweep a team that featured Hall of Famers Elvin Hayes and Wes Unseld by averaging 29.5 points and shooting .938 from the line. In the ’67 finals, when the Warriors lost in six games to Wilt Chamberlain’s Philadelphia 76ers, Barry averaged 40.8 points.

He didn’t have any trouble pinpointing what he had that LeBron needs.

“I had confidence in myself,” Barry said. “LeBron doesn’t have confidence. There is no problem being a facilitator, but you need to be doing it in an aggressive mode. He was doing it in a passive mode.”

Not that it was all LeBron’s fault. “(Heat coach) Erik Spoelstra has to take some of the blame as well,” Barry said. “That 15-point comeback was insane, ridiculous. He had to use all his timeouts. You can’t allow that to happen. And you come out of a timeout and the shot you get is from five feet behind the threepoint line? Are you kidding me?

That’s embarrassing. Great series, my butt! Miami let them off the hook.”

By doing more than taking dumb shots.

“Dirk (Nowitzki) goes in and gets the winning layup,” Barry lamented. “What the hell happened to team defense? The No. 1 rule is never let the ball get to the basket. Dirk got to the basket from 20 feet, and nobody came over to shut him down.

The first time, unfortunately, it was LeBron’s fault. Yes, Miami’s offense was horrible, but it was defense that killed them.”

Somebody give this man a microphone, which he knows how to use.

“You have to recognize things instantaneously and put things into words that are understandable for the average fan and don’t insult the intelligence of the sophisticated viewer,” he said, capturing what made him a great basketball commentator.

FORMER MAJOR-LEAGUE PITCHER MARTY PATTIN ENTERTAINS bar patrons with tales of his playing days on March 31 at The Shenago Lounge.

Ex-MLB pitcher, KU coach Pattin recalls playing days

By Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Escalating fuel prices don’t make the hourlong drive from Lawrence to Kauffman Stadium any easier, even for those who can afford to invest so much time commuting. Those who can’t just might feel as if they are in the middle of a major-league baseball game by pulling up a stool next to Marty “Duck” Pattin, who spent 13 seasons as an American League pitcher.

On Thursday nights, the Ameri-

can Legion hall is the best place to find Pattin, where he often listens with friends to The Junkyard Jazz Band. Every now and then, he’ll pop up at The Shenago Lounge, regaling fellow patrons with tales from his seven seasons with the Kansas City Royals, his fifth and final team. He used to be a fixture at the Alvamar driving range, though he’s not there as often these days because it’s taking him longer to recover from his leftknee replacement than it did his right-hip replacement.

Pattin, 68, is one of the hidden

treasures of Lawrence, which he has called home for nearly 30 years. The second of just five Kansas University baseball coaches since 1954, Pattin (1982-87) succeeded Floyd Temple and preceded Dave Bingham. Pattin moved the family to Lawrence to start the job and put down roots.

“Hello,” he said, when he answered a recent phone call, “this is your friendly mallard, The Duck.”

And friendly he is. Approachable, too. Introduce yourself to him, receive his firm handshake,

ask him a question about his playing days, staring down the likes of Mickey Mantle, Reggie Jackson, Frank Robinson, and in spring training, Willie Mays. Then sit back and enjoy the trip back in time. Before joining Pattin on a storytelling journey to a magnificent baseball era, a look at humble beginnings that helped the man reach his lifelong dream is in order.

His parents divorced when he was 5. Marty, his brother and sister were raised by relatives, spending Please see PATTIN, page 12B

‘88 teammates helping Aldrich at camp

By Gary Bedore

Gueldner

Randall

gbedore@ljworld.com

OLATHE — Former Kansas University basketball player Jeff Gueldner teamed with his college roommate, Mark Randall, in a three-day member/guest golf tournament last week.

How’d the 42-year-old Gueldner play?

“Poorly,” Gueldner, the 6-foot5, sweet-shooting member of

KU’s 1988 NCAA championship team, said with a smile. “I’ve not exactly gotten back to where I was. It (golf) hasn’t been a real focus of mine.”

Gueldner — who is helping coach more than 100 youths at this week’s Cole Aldrich Basketball Camp at Olathe Northwest High — should see his handicap drop consistently as the summer progresses.

He’s well into a successful

comeback from Feb. 25, 2010, cancer surgery and resulting radiation and chemotherapy treatments that — according to five scans — have him cancer-free.

“I had squamous cell carsinoma in my neck, a little lump in my neck,” Gueldner said. “It was in between Stage 3 and Stage 4 with some spreading.

“The good part of this cancer in your neck is you see the lump.

The downside is it’s rough treat-

ment that affects everything going on with your salivary glands, your tongue, everything.

The radiation really beats down on you.

“It’s been a battle. It could be a lot worse. I’m still standing upright. I’ve gotten most of the weight back I want to get back.

I’m starting to feel good,” added the 180-pounder.

Ohio native not surprised by OSU scandal

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Last month, the Ohio State University football program was rocked by investigations into improper benefits and an alleged cover-up stemming from a tattoo-parlor scandal that involved some of the team’s highest profile players.

Five-game suspensions to kick off the 2011 season were dished out to five players, including

standout quarterback Terrelle Pryor, who has since left the team. Head coach Jim Tressel, the man who led the Buckeyes to their first national championship in more than 30 years in 2002, resigned.

While the temporary downfall of the mighty program unfolded hundreds of miles away from the Kansas University campus, at least one player on the current KU roster kept an eye on what was happening in his home state.

During high school, safety Bradley McDougald, of Dublin, Ohio, originally committed to Ohio State. He later changed his mind and chose Kansas because of the opportunity to play wide receiver, which he did during his first two seasons in Lawrence.

Today, McDougald is back at safety, projected as a starter for the Jayhawks this fall. While his place on the field takes him back to his high school days, the current state of the OSU program is

vastly different than what he experienced while being recruited by then-Buckeyes assistant and current interim head coach Luke Fickell.

“In Columbus, (Ohio), I feel like Ohio State football and basketball might be looked at as a professional team,” McDougald McDougald said. originally That’s why it didn’t surprise committed to him much to hear about the mess Ohio State before Please see FOOTBALL, page 3B choosing Kansas

Famed Wolfpack forward Charles dies in bus crash R A L E I G H , N . C . (AP ) — Lorenzo Charles, the muscular forward whose last-second dunk gave underdog North Carolina State a stunning win in the 1983 national college championship game, was killed Monday when a bus he was driving crashed along a highway, a company official said.

Elite Coach general manager Brad Jackson said Charles, 47, worked for the company and was

driving one of its buses on Interstate 40. No passengers were aboard.

He grabbed Dereck Whittenburg’s 30-foot shot and dunked it at the buzzer to give the Wolfpack a 54-52 victory over heavy favorite Houston and its second national title, sending coach Jim Valvano spilling onto the court, scrambling for someone to hug in what has become one of the lasting images of the NCAA Tournament.

COMMENTARY

Whittenburg was despondent when discussing his teammate and friend with The Associated Press.

“It’s just an awful day,” Whittenburg said. “An awful, awful day.”

Charles secured his spot in N.C. State lore in the final moments of that game in Albuquerque, N.M., to cap an improbable run to the title.

N.C. State entered the NCAA Tournament with a 17-10 record, having beaten Virginia to win the Atlantic

Coast Conference tournament and an automatic berth into the national field. No one expected much.

Police released little about the one-vehicle crash that took Charles’ life. Video shows the windshield broken out with tree limbs sticking through the window frame. The rear wheels of the bus were on an embankment, leaving the right front tire elevated from the road.

RALEIGH, N.C. — The way things had to be done that season, Pam Valvano never got to see the final five or six minutes of any of the incredible games that led to N.C. State’s even more incredible march to the 1983 NCAA basketball championship.

“I didn’t see Lorenzo’s shot,” Valvano, now Pam Strasser, said through her tears Monday night. “I’ve seen it what seems like a million times since (in video replays), but I didn’t see it that night in Albuquerque.”

Everyone else did.

Everyone, that is, who cared about college basketball. Lorenzo Charles’ baby dunk of Dereck Whittenburg’s Hail Mary airball will live on as long as college hoops matter. The ensuing scene of Pam’s late husband, Jim Valvano, running around the court of New Mexico’s “Pit” and the memorable celebration has became as much a part of NCAA lore as the AP File Photo tournament itself.

NORTH CAROLINA “Lo” is gone now.

STATE’S LORENZO He died in a bus CHARLES (43) accident Monday on dunks to give N.C. Interstate 40 in westState a 54-52 victoern Raleigh. The winry over Houston in ning shot for the the NCAA chamnational title against overwhelming favorite pionship game in Houston will never die. this April 4, 1983, Charles understood as file photo from Albuquerque, N.M. much and happily accepted that fact.

“It wasn’t who made the shot. What mattered is that it went in, and we won,” he said shortly before the start of the ’83-84 season. “I was just the right guy in the right place at the right time.”

Pam, with her small support circle of hand-wringers, was pacing the hallways of the Pit. At some point during the 1983 postseason, it became her habit to leave her seat, pace the building and await the outcome of a string of nailbiters that defied logic.

After a while, the routine had to be continued without fail or else there was a fear the magic spell would be broken.

When Charles’ shot went in and N.C. State had the 54-52 win, Pam could only guess.

“People came running out, screaming and yelling,” she recalled. “All I could do was ask, ‘Who won? Who won? Please, who won?’ Then, of course, I found out.”

She stopped, choked up and said the words everyone was saying Monday night.

“I can’t believe Lorenzo is gone. He was so kind, so sweet, so nice.”

At 6-foot-7 and 240 pounds virtually void of body fat, Charles looked intimidating beyond words. He grew up on the streets of Brooklyn. He had a wonderful sense of humor but wore a game face that resembled a clenched fist.

Charles was a sophomore on that ’83 title team. Early on that season, he couldn’t shoot a lick. He fouled a lot. There were times when seniors Sidney Lowe, Whittenburg and Thurl Bailey would cast exasperated on-court glances at Charles and fellow sophomore Cozell McQueen.

Eventually, the players and coach got on the same page, and the momentum began.

“I know now that Lo won’t ever get rattled,” Jim Valvano said after the ACC tournament sweep over Wake Forest, North Carolina and Virginia in Atlanta. “All season, I’ve been waiting from him to get as tough as he looks. Now, the waiting’s over.”

Sure enough, Charles made as many big plays as anyone in the tournament.

“Lorenzo was this big bear of a guy, but he was the kindest soul you would ever be able to find,” Strasser said Monday. “He was one of those kind of people you knew you would never forget.”

FRANCE’S MARION BARTOLI CELEBRATES A POINT against Serena Williams. Bartoli ousted Williams on Monday from Wimbledon.

Williams sisters sent packing from Wimbledon WIMBLEDON, ENGLAND — Walking away from Centre Court, Oracene Price — mother and sometimes-coach to Serena and Venus Williams — shook her head after watching one daughter lose at Wimbledon, then the other.

Undeniably great as she is, even defending champion Serena found it too tough to make a deep run at her first Grand Slam tournament in a year after a series of health scares. And as successful as Venus has been at the All England Club, even she couldn’t muster her best after missing nearly five months with a hip injury.

“I don’t think their layoffs helped their rhythm,” Price said. “They both seemed to be making the same kinds of mistakes. They were hit-and-miss, here and there.”

They’re both headed home after straightset exits in the fourth round against far-lessaccomplished opponents Monday. First, 13time major champion Serena lost, 6-3, 7-6 (6), to ninth-seeded Marion Bartoli on Court 1.

Then, less than two hours later and before a Centre Court crowd that included Prince William and his new bride, Kate, five-time Wimbledon champion Venus was beaten, 6-2, 6-3, by 32nd-seeded Tsvetana Pironkova.

Adding to the chaotic nature of the afternoon, top-seeded Caroline Wozniacki lost, too, although she’s still searching for her first Grand Slam singles trophy, whereas the Williams sisters own a total of 20.

“Definitely not our best day,” Venus said. “I think we both envisioned seeing this day going a little bit different.”

It’s the first time since 2006 that neither Williams is in the Wimbledon quarterfinals; Venus lost in the third round that year, while Serena skipped that tournament because of a left knee injury. Of the 12 years that both entered the field at the All England Club, this is the first neither one made it past the fourth round.

“Obviously, it’s not something planned,” Venus said. “We rarely lose on the same day.”

All in all, it was a topsy-turvy day at the All England Club. Set aside, for a moment, what went on with the Williams sisters, and digest Monday’s various other happenings: ■ Wozniacki still has yet to make it past the fourth round at Wimbledon after a 1-6, 7-6 (5), 7-5 defeat against No. 24 Dominika Cibulkova; ■ defending champion and top-seeded Rafael Nadal initially thought he broke his left foot and might have to quit late in the first set, then lost the second set, but eventually beat 2009 U.S. Open champion Juan Martin del Potro, 7-6 (6), 3-6, 7-6 (4), 6-4; ■ six-time Wimbledon champion Roger Federer dropped his first set of the fortnight — against a man he was 10-0 against, no less — before righting himself to reach a 29th consecutive Grand Slam quarterfinal; ■ 18-year-old Bernard Tomic of Australia became the youngest man in the Wimbledon quarterfinals since 1986, when Boris Becker went on to win his second title in a row; ■ 2010 runner-up Tomas Berdych went out in straight sets against 10th-seeded Mardy Fish, who never before reached the quarterfinals at the All England Club but now is the last American, man or woman, left in the tournament.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL Calipari’s contract: $36.5M LEXINGTON, KY. — The University of Kentucky has given men’s basketball coach John Calipari an extension that makes his contract worth $36.5 million and will keep him coaching the Wildcats through 2019.

In his first two seasons at Kentucky, the

Wildcats have gone 64-12 and last season earned their first trip to the NCAA Final Four in 13 years. They are 33-0 at home in Rupp Arena under Calipari.

UK added two years to Calipari’s current contract and reworked the compensation so that he is guaranteed $3.8 million for the next eight seasons and retention bonuses of $1 million in five of the next eight years and $1.1 million in the final year. He is also eligible for up to $850,000 in annual incentives, based mostly on the team’s performance in postseason tournaments.

First Four stays in Dayton INDIANAPOLIS — The NCAA Tournament’s opening round will stay in Dayton, Ohio, for at least the next two years.

The NCAA said Monday that the First Four will be played at the University of Dayton in 2012 and 2013.

Last year was the first one for the so-called First Four games in the newly expanded 68team men’s tournament. Two games match the lowest seeds, Nos. 65 through 68, with the winners advancing to play a top seed. The other two games match the last four at-large qualifiers.

WOMEN’S WORLD CUP Japan wins, Mexico-England draw FRANKFURT, GERMANY — On a day of wonderful goals and woeful goalkeeping, Mexico had reason to celebrate at the Women’s World Cup. A 30-yard blast from Monica Ocampo gave Mexico a 1-1 draw against England on Monday in Wolfsburg, the biggest surprise so far after two days of the three-week tournament. A superb curling free kick from star player Aya Miyama earlier sent Japan past New Zealand, 2-1, in Bochum.

The United States opens play in the 16team tournament today, facing North Korea in Dresden in Group C.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL Ex-N.C. State QB picks Wisconsin MILWAUKEE — Former North Carolina State quarterback Russell Wilson is headed to Wisconsin, potentially solving one of the biggest hurdles standing between the Badgers and a Big Ten title.

Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema said Monday that Wilson will compete for the Badgers’ starting job in the fall. The two-sport star most recently played in the Colorado Rockies’ minor-league system but apparently is ready to hang up his baseball spikes.

Wilson has one year of eligibility remaining and can play right away.

In his three seasons with the Wolfpack, Wilson threw for 8,545 yards and 76 touchdowns with 26 interceptions.

COLLEGE WORLD SERIES Gamecocks take opener in 11 OMAHA, NEB. — Christian Walker, cleared to play with a broken wrist a half-hour before the game, scored from first base on two throwing errors in the 11th inning and defending champion South Carolina beat Florida, 2-1, in Game 1 of the College World Series final Monday night.

In a finish that looked a lot like their 13inning victory over Virginia on Friday, the Gamecocks (54-14) performed defensive magic late, throwing out two runners at home plate in the bottom of the ninth and another in the 10th.

Gueldner, who had 72 staples in his neck following his cancer surgery, serves as an inspiration to both former KU forward Randall, community relations director for the Denver Nuggets, and Oklahoma City Thunder/former KU center Aldrich.

“I respect him ... for sure,” Aldrich said. “He’s a guy that was, I guess, you could say on his ‘lifebed,’ never knowing if he’d see his (three) daughters again. Coming back from that shows how strong a person he is.”

Noted Randall, who is also working the camp: “Jeff had a little scare with cancer. Everything’s good with him. It’s been great to spend time with him. He’s been through a lot.

He’s had several tests done.

He’s good.”

Gueldner, who owns a used-car dealership in Olathe, was a natural to help Aldrich run his first camp.

“He’s been great to me for a few years of just seeing him around, saying hi and whatnot,” Aldrich said. “The past few years we’ve had a really good relationship with each other. He’s done camps before.

He’s helped this camp a lot. I don’t know if I could do it without him. I’m just learning.”

Gueldner — he has worked in advertising, the cell-phone business, real estate and even the collegiate-flag business — also knows his basketball.

“Cole came to me a couple months ago with the idea of putting the camp together and wanted some help. Obviously I live in the area and know people around the school and people around here. I thought it’d be fun. Cole is a good guy.

I wouldn’t say it to him personally, but he’s a good guy,” Gueldner cracked. ●

Cole’s career: Gueldner and Randall are in agreement that Aldrich, who played sparingly his rookie year in OKC, can be a successful pro.

His potential is unbelievable. Cole didn’t play much this year, obviously he did in the DLeague (with Tulsa). He kept his attitude positive.

I got to see him working out with some of the big boys (before playoff games against the Nuggets). He was doing great things. He has unlimited upside.”

— Former NBA player and Jayhawk Mark Randall about Cole Aldrich “The downside of getting drafted by a team with a playoff-caliber roster is you are not going to get the minutes,” Gueldner said. “You have to put the time in and understand it’s a job, and it’s a marathon. He has a great attitude and works hard. He understands it’s a business.

He’s going to do what they pay him to do.”

“His potential is unbelievable,” said former NBA player Randall. “Cole didn’t play much this year, obviously he did in the D-League (with Tulsa). He kept his attitude positive. I got to see him working out with some of the big boys (before playoff games against the Nuggets).

He was doing great things. He has unlimited upside.” ●

Recruiting: KU coach Bill Self was asked if his six-man recruiting class might grow to seven on Monday during an appearance on 810 radio’s Border Patrol: “I don’t want to say positively we’re done. We’re not actively pursuing anybody right now at all,” Self said.

“Things happen in recruiting where things kind of fall your way. Brandon (Rush) fell to us in August. Certainly if we can get a player of that caliber, we wouldn’t shy off that. As of right now, that’s not the case.”

The father of former Vanderbilt player Andre Walker said Sunday that his son, a 6-8 forward, would visit KU this week.

“I really like our recruiting class,” Self said of guards Ben McLemore and Naadir Tharpe and forwards Braeden Anderson, Merv Lindsay, Jamari Traylor and Kevin Young. Young and Lindsay joined the team just this month.

“There was a lot of speculation the Daniels young man (DeAndre, UConn) would possibly be a Jayhawk. We worked on that for a long time. That didn’t work out, but it’s amazing how other things kind of fall this way because Kevin (former Loyola Marymount player) is a good player. He has a shot to make the P uerto Rican national team. Merv should be a high school senior (he’s 17). He’s a great student, already graduated. He was probably going to go to prep school (before exploding on AAU scene). Merv in our opinion is a top-30 player in the 2012 class. We got him a year early. He can really shoot it. He and Conner Teahan would be the two best shooters on our team.”

Self confessed: “To be quite honest, I was disappointed in our class up until about two weeks ago. Our class is really good. Jamari and Braeden ... those are good players, and Naadir is better than anybody knows, and Ben is as good a wing prospect or big g uard prospect as there is in the country. I’m really excited about the class and think it will be a fun class to coach.” ●

Robinson shines at camp: KU junior Thomas Robinson drew rave reviews from ESPN.com for his play at last week’s Amar’e Stoudemire camp in Chicago.

“The Jayhawk flew down the court, challenged shots at the rim, f inished inside rebounds and low-post moves with strength and athleticism, and threw down the indisputable dunk of the day — a cocked one-handed fast break alley-oop that caused plenty of stone-faced NBA scouts in attendance to cast each other knowingly excited glances,” wrote ESPN’s Eamonn Brennan.

“It was a blessing to have a good place in my hometown to go to when I couldn’t be at home by myself.”

Dodgers pulverize Twins, 15-0 ————

Despite bankruptcy, L.A. snags huge win in Minnesota The Associated Press

Interleague Dodgers 15, Twins 0 MINNEAPOLIS — Matt Kemp had four hits, including his NL-leading 22nd home run, and Los Angeles had a little fun after a tough day by routing a skidding Minnesota team Monday night.

Chad Billingsley cruised through six innings, combining with three relievers on Los Angeles’ seventh shutout of the season. Casey Blake had a home run among his three hits for the Dodgers, who filed for bankruptcy protection in a Delaware court earlier in the day.

Billingsley (7-6) allowed four hits and struck out four to win his second straight interleague start, backed by an offense that set season highs for runs and hits (24).

American League Tigers 4, Blue Jays 2 DETROIT — Jhonny Peralta hit a tiebreaking triple in the eighth inning, and Victor Martinez drove in two runs.

Max Scherzer struck out nine over seven strong innings, and the AL Central leaders won their third straight, snapping Toronto’s three-game winning streak.

In the makeup of a May 17 rainout, Tigers manager Jim Leyland was ejected in the seventh after a long argument that included a mocking impersonation of first base umpire Ed Rapuano changing his call on a close play.

Two elderly ladies were talking about gifts given to the g randchildren.

Esther lamented that she had sent money to each of her grandchildren for Christmas and didn’t get a single thank-you anniesmailbox@comcast.net note.

Please help me, Annie. — Hearts Don’t Break Even

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

Dear Hearts: Don’t worry about your friends and relatives. They will manage. But you do need to talk to your boyfriend as soon as possible and explain that the relationship isn’t going to work out.

Some pain cannot be avoided, so better now than later.

Be as gentle as possible. Apologize for uprooting him. And, since his livelihood is currently dependent on his living arrangements, it would be gracious if your parents would allow him to stay temporarily while he looks for a place of his own. Offer to help him search.

The fact that you are mov-

Shows go from vaudeville to profound Back in its infancy, television was described as “TV: terrible vaudeville.”

Television recalls vaudeville's onslaught of often-unrelated performances. If you didn't like the juggler, you had only a minute to wait for the singer or the magic act, the funny man or the dancing ladies.

No show on television better recalls the old vaudeville variety as “America's Got Talent” (7 p.m., NBC), where you're as likely to see a man juggling chainsaws as an opera singer. Human cannonballs were often part of the old variety theater format, but they rarely involved audience members or volunteers as they do on “Wipeout” (7 p.m., ABC) and “101 Ways To Leave a Game Show” (8 p.m., ABC).

The notion of television, even summer television, as merely a parade of silly burlesque distractions does not hold water, however. Tonight's listings include serious and provocative documentaries for those willing to be engaged. ● “POV” (9 p.m., PBS) presents “My Perestroika,” a profile of five Russians, now parents in their late 30s and early 40s, who were among the last generation of children raised in the old Soviet system.

They were only in their teens when the dictatorship began to crack up around them, but some recall the pride they felt as members of the Red Pioneers, a kind of Communist scout group. Others discuss the rise of punk rock that corresponded with the U.S.S.R.'s collapse, and the spate of faith healers and popular religious fanatics who tried to fill the void left when old beliefs lay shattered. Others understand, but regret, the return of authoritarian attitudes under Vladimir Putin and his successor. “My Perestroika” is a captivating film that puts a human face on childhood under communism and the confusion and even nostalgia that can ensue when an all-controlling way of life vanishes before your eyes. ● Tonight's “Frontline” (8 p.m., PBS) examines unsolved child murder cases. ● “Burn: Evolution of an American City” (7 p.m., Documentary Channel) looks at the 1925 race riot, considered the worst in American history, that convulsed Tulsa, Okla. ● TV-themed DVDs available today include the first season of “Rizzoli & Isles.”

Tonight’s other highlights ● The top 14 duke it out on “MasterChef” (7 p.m., Fox). ● War propaganda and Tiffany windows loom large on “History Detectives” (7 p.m., PBS). ● On two episodes of “Raising Hope” (Fox): fantasies (9 p.m.) and a box of memories (9:30 p.m.). ● Dwight helps find a man's missing daughter on “Memphis Beat” (8 p.m., TNT). ● A fraud threatens to unleash a war between mob rivals on “White Collar” (8 p.m., USA). ● A drug dealer needs a good divorce lawyer on “The Good Wife” (9 p.m., CBS). ● An epidemic looms on “Combat Hospital” (9 p.m., ABC). ● Annie becomes a target on “Covert Affairs” (9 p.m., USA). ● Green Bay meets Canada on “How the States Got Their Shapes” (9 p.m., History).

Universal Crossword Edited by Timothy E. Parker June 28, 2011

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Tuesday, June 28: This year, approach situations differently. You might want to be more sensitive to what isn't being said, then you will learn and understand much more. If you are single, you should check out a potential suitor, as you might be seeing someone as what you want him or her to be rather than who he or she really is. If you are attached, the two of you benefit from time alone together. You bond more strongly and keep passion heated. Gemini makes an excellent healer.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You'll Have: 5Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) ★★★★ You might feel like you are tired of saying everything over and over.

Be willing to try another style of communication.

Tonight: Catch up on a friend's news.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ★★★★ You might not realize exactly where someone is coming from.

A change of direction and perhaps a different conversation could open up your sense of restriction.

Tonight: Gather your bills.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ★★★★ You might want

jacquelinebigar.com

to rethink a situation. Discussions driven by your need for change draw a strong reaction. Tonight: Back off from control issues.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ★★★ Maintain a low profile and listen to what is being said. Unexpected developments surround a boss or community issue.

Tonight: Vanish while you can.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★★ Open up conversations. Take the initiative, especially with a neighbor or close relative. You could be delighted by another person's take on a situation. Tonight: Talk away.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★ Pressure builds.

Others have expectations that perhaps you do not want to meet. Unless you want a major falling out, you might not have a choice. Tonight: Could go until the wee hours.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ★★★★ Keep looking for other ways. There is a solution that can make all parties fairly happy. Begin with what everyone has in common. Tonight: Follow the music.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★★ Work with others directly. You might not like everything you hear,

but you will find solutions.

Don't take a comment personally. Tonight: Talk through a problem.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21) ★★★★ You will have your hands full, as others really seem overly challenging and full of feedback.

Recognize that nothing is engraved in stone. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★ An easy transition is likely if you work with a situation. If you block someone or try to interfere, the results could be less than great. Tonight: Count on your energy.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★★★ You simply seem to have fun no matter what you are doing.

Ideas pop up from out of nowhere, and you find answers out of the blue.

Tonight: Let the fun begin.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★ Be aware of an implicit demand from a family member. You might want to change directions, especially if you feel like you are hitting resistance.

Tonight: Easy works.

Dear Annie: I’m a young woman who is living at home for the summer before moving away in the fall. Here’s my dilemma: Several months ago, I excitedly arranged for my long-distance boyfriend to live with my family and get work nearby. Unfortunately, now that he’s here, I find that I simply don’t want to be in a relationship with him anymore.

He hasn’t done anything wrong. I’m just a different person from who I was a couple of years ago when we began dating. Now his little flaws that I so desperately convinced myself to overlook seem increasingly like deal breakers.

I’m planning to give the relationship a few more weeks to make sure this isn’t simply a phase, but frankly, I don’t expect my feelings to change. How do I handle this?

I realize that hurting him is inevitable, but breaking up with him in the middle of the summer and making him move out of my parents’ home could seriously undermine his efforts to pay for his own education.

What’s even worse is that my friends and family are putting serious effort into accepting him into the family because they expect us to get married. I hate that they may form an attachment to some-

Pattin CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

most of their time under the roof of their grandparents in a small home in Charleston, Ill., alongside the Illinois Central railroad tracks on which steam locomotives chugged past the family apple orchard.

Marty’s daily routine as a child: Awakened at 5 a.m. by the aroma of Grandpa’s biscuits and gravy, then off to do his paper route. Bike to school, bike home, feed the coal into the stove in the living room that heated the house. Bike to practice for whatever sport was in season and bike back home. Every four or five days or so, head to the Phillips 66 filling station with a baby buggy featuring a five-gallon can where the carriage used to be. Fill it with kerosene to fuel the kitchen stove, try to miss the ruts in the road on the way home so that half of it doesn’t spill. Cut the grass with a push mower.

“We always had food on the table, never went hungry,” Pattin said. “Grandma worked at the Brown Shoe Co., about three miles from our house, for 40 years. She’d walk to work and back, six miles a day, for 40 years.”

Baseball games played on the street, a taste for mischief and a fertile imagination enabled Pattin to develop his gifted right arm.

“Nobody in the neighborhood messed with me because if they got me mad, I was deadly from a block away with a rock,” Pattin said. “I stopped three freight trains.

I’d hit ’em and hide behind the outhouse.”

An indoor bathroom didn’t come until Pattin drew closer to high school. Years before that, in his mind, he already pitched in the big leagues, facing the hitters he read about in the newspaper.

“I had a little shed at my grandmother’s house and I would pretend I was Whitey Ford and I was facing Mickey Mantle,” Pattin remembered. “Little did I know when I was peppering the target on that shed with apples I’d ever get to face him.”

Never mind that Ford was a lefty and a teammate of The Mick’s. Dreams don’t follow rules. That’s why they’re dreams. Pattin idolized Mantle from afar. Closer to home, it was his older brother and their cousin, Denny Roy Walker, two of the better local teenage baseball players, that he emulated. Walker, who lived in nearby Mattoon, Ill., died in a motorcycle crash at age 16, but his spot-on impersonation of Donald Duck lives on through his cousin Marty.

“I tried and tried and tried and then one afternoon, I got it,” said Pattin, who never lost the ability to talk like a duck.

When Pattin shared his plans with a high school teacher to attend hometown Eastern Illinois University, she said she didn’t think he would study enough to earn a diploma. When he did, he returned to the high school to show her the piece of paper.

Walt Warmoth, a local philanthropist who owned restaurants, told Pattin he need not worry about tuition.

Warmoth put him to work in Walt’s Cafe for 30 to 40 hours a week. The highlight of Pattin’s time at EIU came when he married his sweetheart, Vera, at the Methodist Church in Charleston. The coach made sure the entire team showed up. At the end of the

John Young/Journal-World Photo

FORMER ROYALS PITCHER MARTY PATTIN TALKS HITTING with patrons of the Shenago Lounge in this photo from March 31. ceremony, the players lined up on both sides of the steps to form an arch with baseball bats. The newlyweds walked through it to 37 years of happiness, much of it raising their two sons. Vera died of cancer in 1996 and Marty remarried about five years later. His second wife, Joy, was taken by cancer two summers ago.

Pattin’s secondary highlight at Eastern Illinois came when he struck out 22 batters in a game. Still, a scout from the Philadelphia Phillies was unimpressed and shared with the 5-foot-11 Pattin that he didn’t consider him a major-league prospect because he was too short.

Pattin’s fastball, delivered after a high leg kick, was anything but short.

“I ran into him many times through the years,” Pattin said. “I didn’t say anything to him. I didn’t have to.”

The California Angels chose Pattin in the seventh round of the first amateur draft, in 1965. He made his major league debut May 14, 1968, at age 25. Three months to the day later, he faced his boyhood idol at Anaheim Stadium. Mantle’s body and skills had eroded and he was playing first base in his final season, but he still batted third and still struck fear into pitchers.

“I worked him to 3-and-2 and then my knees actually started shaking,” Pattin remembered. “I said to myself, ‘Mick, it’s either you or me. My best pitch is a fastball, so here it comes.’ So I reared back and I threw him a high fastball as hard as I could throw it. He swung and missed it. Man, I could have floated off that mound. That was the greatest thrill. As a kid, I dreamed about that so many times and then to actually do it ... ” A year later, Pattin pitched for the expansion 1969 Seattle Pilots, the only season the team existed before moving to Milwaukee as the Brewers.

Pilots teammate Jim Bouton rocked the baseball world in 1970 with a tell-all book he penned during the ’69 season.

Many ballplayers ostracized him for breaking the code of silence that covered off-thefield activities. Pattin, mentioned several times in the book, didn’t go that far, but he expressed mixed emotions about Bouton’s “Ball Four.”

“Every time you started talking, you’d see Bouton over there writing what you’re saying,” Pattin said. “We didn’t know what to think at the time. I’ve never read the book completely through. He depicted a lot of guys in there who were my childhood idols, like Mantle. I just didn’t like the way he portrayed other players. He was no saint himself, if you know what I mean.”

Still, Pattin said he enjoyed seeing Bouton two years ago at an autograph session. Then Pattin laughed when he recalled Bouton getting knocked out of a game in the first inning.

“He goes up to (manager) Joe Schultz and says, ‘Hey, Joe, mind if I go down to the bullpen and work on my knuckleball?’ Joe says, ‘I don’t give a bleep, bleep. You can go down there and bang your head against the wall for all I care.’ We had some characters on that team,” Pattin said.

After Pattin threw 264-2⁄3 innings, nine complete games, five shutouts, made the AL All-Star team and won 14 games with a 3.13 ERA for the ’71 Brewers, he was shipped to the Boston Red Sox in a 10player trade. During two seasons with Boston, Pattin teamed with three Hall of Fame ballplayers: Carlton Fisk, Orlando Cepeda and Carl Yastrzemski.

On Cepeda: “He had the biggest bat I’d ever seen. I almost couldn’t lift it. In fact, I’ve still got it.”

On Fisk: “Pudge wouldn’t say a whole lot. He was a brash rookie. He’d come out to the mound just to get on me. He’d say, ‘When are you going to put the ball over the plate, Martha?’ I’d say, ‘Bleep you!

Quit calling me Martha!’”

On Yastrzemski: “One year, I lived with Yaz for about three or four weeks until my wife got to Boston. He’d take me to all the (Bruins) hockey games. Man, could he play.

He’d pick that sucker off that Green Monster, throw it to second and keep that runner at first. He knew every nook and cranny in that thing. He knew exactly where it was going to fall. He was a good team guy. First one to the ballpark.”

And a prankster.

“Yaz, (Gary) Peters, (Luis) Aparicio, we all kind of hung out together,” Pattin said. “(Luis) Tiant was our victim.

He’d have a big, old cigar he’d be smoking in the whirlpool, reading the paper. Yaz would sneak up under there and light his newspaper on fire. Next thing you hear is, ‘You son of a beach!’ Had a lot of fun with those guys.”

Pattin retired after going 43-39 in seven seasons with the Royals, throwing his final pitch in the 1980 World Series.

The late Hall-of-Famer Harmon Killebrew, who hit more than 40 home runs in eight seasons for the Washington Senators/Minnesota Twins organization on his way to 573 career homers, spent the final year of his career with the Royals.

“Just a great guy to be around,” Pattin said. “He loved his ice cream. He and Fran Healy were always going out for ice cream.”

During his time with the Royals, Pattin developed a fondness for another Hall of Fame player, third baseman George Brett, whose clutch hitting and mischievous sense of humor made him an ideal teammate in Pattin’s eyes. For one play, memorable for all the wrong reasons, the feeling wasn’t mutual. During multiple rain delays in Milwaukee, Pattin told manager Whitey Herzog he felt fine and wanted to continue pitching. His body was willing, but his mind betrayed him when The Duck didn’t duck.

“After about the fourth rain delay, a guy hits a little checkswing down to third base,” Pattin said. “George fielded it just like Brooks (Robinson), one-handed, one swoop and threw the ball. I’m standing on the mound and for some reason I reached up and I snagged the ball. I went to throw it and the guy’s already standing on first base. Whitey says, ‘I have seen it all now.’

George says, ‘Dad-gummit, Ducky, I make the best play I ever made and you cut the son of a buck off.’ Can you imagine having to explain that one to the sportswriters?”

Pattin was sitting at The Shenago one night last year when a friend called to inform him Zack Greinke inexplicably had cut off a throw from the second baseman to home plate and Royals announcer Ryan Lefebvre marked the occasion by saying, “Ducky, after all these years, you’re off the hook.”

Speaking of hooks, Pattin shared a story of the first time he took his and Vera’s first son, John, on a Royals road trip. Brett, now a happy husband and father, was then a happy bachelor.

“John was 8 when the road trip started and when he came off it, after Jamie Quirk and George got done with him, he was 19,” Pattin said. “That fall, when we came back home to Charleston after the season, I get a call from John’s thirdgrade teacher, Mrs. James.”

Mrs. James had asked the children in the classroom what they had learned over the summer. John Pattin’s hand shot up.

“George Brett taught me how to take a girl’s bra off with one hand behind my back,” John said.

Marty and Vera went to the school to apologize to Mrs. James.

“She just started laughing,” Pattin said. “All three of us had a really good laugh.”

Without Bouton breaking the ice with “Ball Four” in 1970, Pattin might never have felt comfortable telling even a harmless story such as that.

Pattin never made the money Brett did playing baseball or Bouton did writing about it, but he voices no regrets.

“Sure it would be nice to play in this day and age and make all the money these guys make,” Pattin said. “But they didn’t have near the fun I had.

I don’t care how much you make, it doesn’t take away the fact that I played on four division champs, in one World Series, made an All-Star team.

All the money in the world could not buy me that.”

On April 6, The Duck spent his birthday on a pond in Illinois near his boyhood home, a fishing pole in his hand, so many fond memories keeping him company.

homered to left with two outs in the first, his 10th.

Kansas City’s Eric Hosmer hit a sacrifice fly in the third, and Latos helped himself in the bottom of the inning when he hit a leadoff double and eventually scored on a wild pitch for a 3-1 lead.

The Padres took a 4-1 lead in the fourth when Jesus Guzman reached on a throwing error by shortstop Alcides Escobar and eventually scored on a throwing error by first baseman Hosmer, who was trying to throw him out at third after Orlando Hudson’s groundout.

The Royals have thrown out 16 runners at the plate, including four in the last five games.

K.C. to go with six-man rotation SAN DIEGO (AP) — The Kansas City Royals plan to go with a six-man pitching rotation at least until the All-Star break.

Kyle Davies is ready to come off the disabled list, and rookie Danny Duffy is pitching well enough that the Royals don’t want to send him down to the minors.

Kansas City manager Ned Yost said the move is designed to help the Royals stay healthy. Besides the fact that Davies and Bruce Chen are coming off injuries, Jeff Francis is right around the number of

innings he threw last year, when he was coming off left shoulder surgery that sidelined him for all of 2009.

“About the only guy that really doesn’t benefit from it health-wise, is (Felipe) Paulino, but it’s a benefit to the other five,” Yost said.

“We’ve never done it like this before. We thought we’d try it and see how it plays out and take it to the All-Star break and see how we like it.”

Davies has been on the DL due to rotator cuff inflammation.

Struggling Dodgers file for bankruptcy protection LOS ANGELES (AP) — One of baseball’s proudest franchises is in tatters, its future to be decided not on the field but in the courtroom.

The Los Angeles Dodgers filed for bankruptcy protection in a Delaware court Monday, blaming Major League Baseball for refusing to approve a multibillion-dollar TV deal that owner Frank McCourt was counting on to

keep the troubled franchise afloat.

McCourt, upset that baseball Commissioner Bud Selig rejected the proposed TV deal last week, hopes a federal judge will approve $150 million in financing to be used for daily operations, which would give him more time to seek a more favorable media contract.

A hearing is set for 12:30

p.m. today in Wilmington, Del. “The action taken today by Mr. McCourt does nothing but inflict further harm to this historic franchise,” Selig said in a statement.

Former players are owed millions and even beloved Hall of Fame announcer Vin Scully is owed more than $150,000 as part of his contract, court documents show.

The filing by a cash-starved McCourt comes just days before he was expected to miss a team payroll on Thursday and possibly be confronted with an MLB takeover.

Legal observers expect MLB to contest McCourt’s request for filing bankruptcy, arguing the dispute should remain within the confines of baseball. Baseball’s constitution allows Selig to take con-

trol of a team that seeks Chapter 11 protection.

MLB would have to file a motion to seek termination of the franchise. A person familiar with the filing, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the situation is still in flux, said MLB will wait to see what happens in the hearing before deciding which way to go.

The main issue is whether “the bankruptcy court maintains control of the proceedings or acquiesce to baseball,” said Edward Ristaino, who chairs the sports practice at the law firm Akerman Senterfitt.

The Dodgers are playing below . 500 this season, though they beat the Twins 150 in Minnesota on Monday night.
