Pay raise for city workers could mean tax hike

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Mayor Aron Cromwell has heard the question before: Why should city employees get a raise when so many in the private sector haven’t?

“It is a tough question,” Cromwell said Monday as com-

missioners finalize the 2012 city budget. “But I remind people that we are relying on lots of city employees for health and safety matters for our residents. That isn’t the same situation with every private sector job. The services our employees provide are the sort of things we really value in this community.”

But Cromwell acknowledged that figuring out how to give employees a raise for 2012 is proving to be more difficult than it has been in past years.

City Manager David Corliss is advising commissioners that the best way to provide compensation increases to employees is to raise the city’s property tax rate.

Corliss’ recommended budget calls for a 0.6 mill increase to fund about $535,000 in compensation increases.

Cromwell said he’s not yet comfortable declaring that a pay raise for city employees is a certainty as part of the 2012 budget.

He said commissioners may look to reduce Corliss’ recom-

Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services Robert Siedlecki Jr. on Monday said there was no chance the Lawrence SRS office will be spared closure, but maintained there will be some SRS presence in the city.

Ten days after Siedlecki stunned Lawrence by announcing his plan to shut down the state’s f ifth largest SRS office, the secretary and two of his assistants, Director of Legislative Affairs Gary Haulmark and Policy Director Michelle Schroeder, sat down for about 45 minutes with Lawrence JournalWorld reporters and editors and talked about the closure decision.

The Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services released information Monday about the closure of the Lawrence office — after the Lawrence JournalWorld sought the information Wednesday morning through an Open Records request. The data include more details about how SRS expects to save $413,000 by closing the

local office, its reasoning behind the closings, and how these offices compare with others statewide.

Savings Here’s how SRS expects to save $413,000 a year: ● $18,563 — phone. ● $331,875 — property rental. ● $18,217 — copier rental. ● $2,969 — postage machine rental. ● $16,406 — janitorial contract.

● $210 — pest control. ● $761 — shredding. ● $26,581 — electricity. ● $3,234 — natural gas. ● $1,121 — water. ● $3,751 — sewage. ● $2,290 — solid waste. ● $1,935 — building sup-

plies/repair.

SRS expects to spend $14,528 more on travel expenses because of the closure.

Offices being closed Here are the number of cases served in June, and

the population of those served by each office, followed by reasons SRS gave for closures. It provided reasons for just a handful of the closures. ● Lawrence — 10,211 cases, 110,826 population.

HEAT WARNING

Kansas is nation’s hot spot WICHITA (AP) — A record-setting heat wave smothering residents, crops and animals alike is expected to last for at least the next seven days in parts of the state, authorities said Monday.

Hutchinson checked in as the hottest spot in the nation Sunday after temperatures hit 112 degrees and Wichita hit 111, National Weather Service meteorologist Chance Hayes said Monday. Records show temperatures of 111 have occurred only 10 times in Wichita since 1888.

Wichita already this year has recorded 18 days with temperatures over 100 degrees. Typically the state annually averages about 10 days of triple-digit temperatures. The record of 50 days was set in 1936.

The weather service has issued an excessive heat warning through this evening for much of northeast Kansas and several counties in southern Kansas.

Temperatures are expected to reach the upper 90s to lower 100s, with high humidity pushing the heat index from 105 to 115 degrees.

“Folks here in Kansas are pretty resilient to heat — since we have it year in and year out,” Hayes said.

Hospitals in Wichita reported just one case of heat exhaustion this past weekend.

Clayton Huseman, executive director of the Kansas Livestock Association’s feed yard division, said he has not heard of any widespread losses of cattle due to heat stress in feedlots, except at least one facility in north central Kansas reported a couple of heat related livestock deaths. But even beyond the death loss, the heat decreases performance and appetite in cattle because they don’t eat well during the heat.

“Everything is impacted, whether on grass or in a feedlot,” Huseman said. “Just like people, nobody does good when it is so ridiculously hot.”

The latest crop condition report released Monday by the Kansas Agricultural Statistics Service also showed crops continued to decline under the scorching temperatures.

“Most crops can take shortterm stress like that and bounce back fairly well,” said Kraig Roozeboom, Extension agronomist at Kansas State University.

“But the longer it stretches out, the harder it gets for the crop to bounce back and go ahead and produce something.”

KASS rated about 18 percent of the corn in poor to very poor condition, with 31 percent rated as fair. About 43 percent was in good condition with just 8 percent rated as excellent.

The condition of the sorghum crop had declined so that it rated 22 percent in poor to very poor shape. About 16 percent of the soybeans also were rated in poor to very poor condition.

Here in Lawrence For the second day in a row, the temperature hit 101 Monday. Look for the heat to stick around through the weekend. After an expected high of 97 degrees today, temperatures in Lawrence will reach 91 Wednesday, 94 Thursday and at least 97 through Monday, according to The National Weather Service in Topeka. See the complete forecast on page 10A.

from a voter-approved expansion of the Lawrence Public Library. A mill is $1 in tax for every $1,000 in assessed valuation.

At their weekly meeting today, commissioners will set the maximum size of any mill levy increase — one of the final steps before giving final approval to the budget in midAugust.

Police, fire negotiations Commissioners will set the key budget amounts without having agreements with the city’s police and fire unions.

Contracts expire for both groups at the end of 2011, and Cromwell conf irmed the negotiations, which began in April, have reached an impasse. Work on contracts continues, Cromwell said. He said a major issue has been to come up with a responsible way to bring police and fire salaries up to industry averages.

“A main concern is achieving that average,” Cromwell said. “That is easy to say, but determining what that average is can be difficult.”

Cromwell also confirmed that the city is seeking a multiyear agreement with police and fire. Past agreements have been for just one year.

As for compensation increases, the $535,000 in Corliss’ budget is less than what the city has set aside for pay raises in past years. In the past two years, the city has set aside $650,000 and $880,000 to fund pay increases for workers funded from the city’s general fund. That includes most city employees but not all. Employees, such as utility workers and sanitation workers, for example, also received increases, but their wages are funded through user fees rather than general property taxes. The city has about 760 employees.

Health care costs Pay is just one employee issue in front of the commission. Commissioners also are trying to determine how many changes to make to the city’s health insurance plan. Currently, city employees don’t pay a premium for their health insurance, although they do pay a premium to add a spouse or children to the plan.

But Corliss’ recommended budget has backed away from that proposal. The current recommendation is that employees would pay a $5-per-pay-period premium.

But that premium would be rebated to employees if they agree to f ill out a health assessment and either sign a pledge to not smoke or to join a smoking cessation program.

Deductibles would rise under the current proposal from $300 for singles to $700 and from $600 for families to $1,400. But the city also is proposing to create new Health Reimbursement Accounts for every full-time city employee.

The city would place $250 or $500 in each account, depending on whether the employee also has family members on the city’s health plan. The money in that account could be used to help pay for health care deductibles. Unspent money in the account could roll over to the next year.

“We know that a lot of employers our size are going to an account-based plan,” said Diane Stoddard, assistant city manager. “We think it will help encourage consumerism.”

The city also is proposing to spend about $165,000 to fund a new “health clinic” that would be open to city employees. Lawrence Memorial Hospital would operate the clinic in space at the hospital.

City employees would be able to use the clinic for standard medical office type of visits — everything from the flu and the cold to more chronic conditions — Stoddard said. Employees would be able to use the clinic without paying any deductibles or co-pays.

Employees would have to agree to undergo the city’s health assessment and pledge not to smoke or to enroll in a program to quit smoking in order to use the clinic. Family members of employees, under the current proposal, wouldn’t be allowed to use the clinic. The city hopes the clinic will lead to a healthier workforce, which ultimately will reduce the number of insurance claims.

“We’re really interested in monitoring how this idea works,” Stoddard said.

Commissioners will meet at 6:35 p.m. today at City Hall.

forced by $42 million in cuts approved by Republicans in the Legislature and Gov. Sam Brownback, also a Republican.

Siedlecki, handpicked by Brownback to lead the state welfare agency, didn’t criticize the cuts, saying that SRS had to do its share in helping balance the state budget.

Siedlecki maintained “no politics” entered into the decision to close the Lawrence office. Some have said the Lawrence office was targeted because Lawrence is one of the few Democraticleaning cities in the state.

For days, law enforcement officials, social service advocates and concerned residents have asked SRS for a detailed explanation as to why the Lawrence office, with 87 employees, was slated for closure.

On Monday, Siedlecki produced a list of written reasons for closing the Lawrence office, including: 1. Easy access to other nearby SRS offices: Topeka (29 miles, served by a four-lane highway); Ottawa (26 miles); Kansas City (37 miles, fourlane highway); Overland Park (36 miles, four-lane highway); Leavenworth (39 miles).

2. There is signif icant capacity in neighboring offices, more than enough to accommodate Lawrence staff.

McGee said. “And this is Kansas. We don’t sacrifice our children. We help them.”

Her comments were echoed repeatedly in a sometimes emotional meeting as people who are served by SRS, their advocates and numerous others said the planned shutdown of one of the largest SRS offices in the state was needless and senseless.

Listening to the speakers were Douglas County legislators, city and county officials, law enforcement officers and clergy. No one from SRS was there — officials and staff were invited to the meeting but declined to attend.

Rep. Paul Davis, DLawrence, said the comments would be compiled and delivered to Brownback and his staff to try to persuade them to change their decision.

“Facts don’t lie, and I believe the facts are on our side in keeping this office open,” he said.

Earlier Monday, Siedlecki, meeting with reporters and editors at the Lawrence Journal-World, repeated his contention that those needing SRS services in Lawrence will — City reporter Chad Lawhorn can be be able to access them online reached at 832-6362. or travel to Topeka, Kansas City, Overland Park or Ottawa, once the Lawrence Reasons: Proximity to Ottawa, office is closed.

spaces in both Topeka and Kansas City.

3. Topeka has a state-owned building with more than 100 spaces open. Lawrence is expensive (fifth highest in the state) rental property.

4. Consolidating the Lawrence office achieves significant savings, $413,000 total.

5. Shawnee County and Wyandotte County have higher number of children living in poverty: Douglas County, 19 percent, Shawnee County, 27 percent, and Wyandotte County, 31 percent.

6. Douglas County is a relatively wealthy county with low case numbers per capita (per 10,000 Kansans): Lawrence 921; Ottawa, 1,453; Kansas City, 2,196; Overland Park, 595, and Leavenworth, 1,115.

Asked why Lawrence would be closed and not Overland Park, which has a much lower caseload per capita, Siedlecki and Haulmark said there would not be enough openings in nearby SRS offices to absorb the 200 SRS employees in Overland Park.

Siedlecki said he and Haulmark are in discussions with local officials to identify free office space in Lawrence to house a small number of SRS staff to assist individuals in accessing services.

They also said they will keep a small number of child protective service workers in Lawrence to respond to timesensitive and emergency situations.

At a meeting Saturday,

Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson said he was concerned about not having social workers on a timely basis to help in investigations of sexual abuse of a minor.

Haulmark said the closure of the Lawrence office won’t affect that. He said social workers in the field would continue to be available in those situations.

Siedlecki and Haulmark said they would continue meeting with city, county and state off icials about the Lawrence situation, but wouldn’t go to the public meeting called by legislators on the issue.

The SRS officials also provided a sheet detailing savings from closing the Lawrence off ice. Of the $413,385 in annual savings, $331,875 came from the annual rental of two buildings.

The savings did take into account an additional $14,538 in extra travel expenses of SRS employees.

Siedlecki said there is room in nearby SRS offices to take in Lawrence’s 87 SRS employees. But he said some of those may choose to retire and then each of those positions will be reviewed to determine whether they should be filled.

The other offices slated for closure over the next three months are in Garnett, Coffeyville, McPherson, Marysville, Fort Scott, Pratt, Wellington and Lyndon.

To the folks meeting at Plymouth Congregational, that was nonsensical. Many of the people receiving assistance don’t have dependable transportation or the ability to travel, they said.

And many of the services that SRS offers, such as medical assistance, cannot be accessed on the Internet.

Retired District Court Judge Jean Shepherd said the biggest loss would be the loss of relationships between SRS and Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center, Cottonwood Inc., school officials, law enforcement and others who all work together as a team to help people.

“We will get some new social worker in Wyandotte County who doesn’t know anyone in our community,” she said. It will result in the wrong placements of children in foster care and failures in getting children out of dangerous situations, she said.

Others said the loss of SRS will increase the strain on already overburdened local agencies and nonprof its, diverting them from their missions and resulting in fewer people receiving help.

That will lead to an increase in crime and more disasters, they said.

Marion Dyer of Lawrence said the Brownback administration’s priorities were out of whack because he is advocating tax cuts while cutting services to needy Kansans.

“This pain we are feeling now will never go away,” she said.

Siedlecki has said the closure of the Lawrence SRS off ice will save about $413,000. He said the agency had to cut $42 million including $1 million in administrative costs under the budget approved by Republicans in the Legislature and Brownback, also a Republican.

Eight smaller SRS offices are also being targeted for closure.

Siedlecki said SRS would continue working with local officials to see about getting free office space for a much smaller SRS operation. The current office has 87 positions, and SRS officials have said those employees can be absorbed in neighboring cities.

But many at the meeting said the move out of Lawrence would prove more expensive to the state in the long run through increased crime and public safety costs.

“The welfare of our community is in peril,” said the Rev. Peter Luckey, senior pastor of Plymouth Congregational. He said even though the state faces tough economic times, the problems shouldn’t be “placed on the backs of the people who are the most vulnerable among us.”

A 13-year-old Maple Hill girl who was injured during a bicycle ride Sunday morning south of Lawrence was listed in critical condition Monday at Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo., a hospital spokeswoman said.

Mikal A. Bond was taken via helicopter ambulance to Children’s Mercy after the 7:30 a.m. accident at North 1100 Road and County Road 1055, about 2 miles south of Lawrence, according to the Kansas Highway Patrol.

Troopers have said the girl failed to stop at a stop sign while headed east on North 1100 Road and collided with a southbound white Ford pickup truck on County Road 1055, which is Haskell Avenue south of Lawrence.

Rudisell did not strike any bicyclists or sheriff’s officers who were in the area for the Lizard Under the Skillet bike ride, Lewis said.

Rudisell initially declined medical attention, but a doctor at Lawrence Memorial Hospital examined him when he was taken there for a blood test to determine his blood-alcohol content. He was later transferred to KU Hospital.

Lewis said investigators believe alcohol, reckless driving and disregarding a traffic sign were contributing factors to the accident, and an accident report Monday indicated citations for DUI, transporting an open container, failing to yield at a stop sign, and failing to drive on the right side of the highway because the skid marks started left of the center line.

U.S., French embassies attacked Hundreds of Syrian government supporters attacked the U.S. Embassy in Damascus on Monday, smashing windows and spray-painting walls with obscenities and graffiti that called the American ambassador a “dog.” Guards at the French Embassy fired in the air to ward off another group of protesters.

The sharp escalation in tensions followed a visit last week by the American and French ambassadors to the city of Hama, a stronghold of opposition to authoritarian President Bashar Assad. Syrian authorities were angered by the visit and American Ambassador Robert Ford’s harsh criticism afterward of the government crackdown on a four-month-old uprising. Ford’s residence was also attacked on Monday.

The U.S. and France both accused Syrian forces of being too slow to respond and demanded the government abide by its international obligations to protect diplomatic missions and allow envoys freedom of movement.

To reinforce the message of concern about Iran, the U.S. military gave reporters a rare look at samples of what they described as improvised rockets and other devices that have been used to target Americans in Baghdad. Iranian influence in Iraq is a key issue — diplomatically as well as militarily — for Washington as it prepares to pull out its remaining 46,000 troops.

Before meeting with Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and President Jalal Talabani to push for a decision on a post-2011 U.S. troop presence, Panetta told American soldiers that the Iraqis need to act swiftly on two matters critical to their future security: naming a defense minister and deciding whether Iraqi forces need U.S. help longer than originally planned.

No agreement on Mideast peace talks The United States and its partners in the international diplomatic “quartet” on the Middle East failed on Monday to reach agreement on how to restart Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, dealing a blow to urgent efforts to avert a looming confrontation at the United Nations over recognizing Palestine as an independent nation.

A senior U.S. official said a Monday night meeting between Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, E.U. foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov was unable to produce a unified statement on how to proceed. Such a statement had been a modest goal of the meeting.

The official said that significant gaps are still impeding progress among both the mediators and the parties themselves and that “much more work” needs to be done before the quartet can issue a call to re-launch negotiations that stalled last September.

Eurozone weighs powers for bailout fund Eurozone finance ministers opened the door to using the currency union’s bailout fund to buy up distressed Greek bonds, thereby cutting the country’s overall debt load as they scrambled to stop the region’s debt crisis from spreading to larger economies like Italy and Spain.

The ministers’ statement Monday, which came after hours of discussions and was scant on details, followed one of the worst days in the markets for Italy and Spain, the third and fourth largest economies in the eurozone. The fear is that while Europe’s 750 billion euro bailout fund can support already bailed out Greece, Portugal and Ireland — only 6 percent of the eurozone economy — unemployment-ridden Spain and highly indebted Italy are too big to save.

The 17 eurozone finance ministers said they “stand ready” to contain the risk of contagion, “including enhancing the flexibility and the scope” of the European Financial Stability Facility, the eurozone’s portion of the overall bailout fund, also known as the EFSF. They also said that they will consider giving already bailed out countries more time to repay their loans and cutting the interest rates they have to pay.

Navigating Sixth Street is about to get more difficult for motorists.

Crews were to begin repaving portions of Sixth Street at 3 a.m. today, and city officials are warning that traffic delays are expected.

“There will be one lane of traffic open in each direction, but with the contractor’s equipment in there and all the workers, it is going to confusing,” said Chuck Soules, the city’s director of public works. “People are really just going to need to slow down and pay attention.”

The first phase of the project will mill and overlay Sixth Street between Kentucky and Massachusetts streets. The work will

cause various lane closures on Sixth Street. The first phase of the project is expected to last for two days, weather permitting.

Crews then will move westward to repave Sixth Street from Kentucky to Missouri. Following that phase, crews will repave Sixth Street until it reaches Iowa. The entire project is expected to last until Aug. 12.

Soules said the impact on morning traffic likely will be greater than on afternoon rush hour traffic.

“We have asked them to show up earlier rather than later, but they also will be playing it by ear with the weather,” Soules said.

The project comes as crews are finishing up replacing pavement on Sixth Street in front of City Hall, just east of Massachu-

The Sixth Street repaving is in addition to construction already under way on Sixth Street between Folks Road and Monterey Way to add a center turn lane. That project also is expected to last until Aug. 12, Soules said.

Soules said city off icials would have liked to have begun the Sixth Street repaving earlier in the summer, but a portion of the $1.2 million project is being paid for by the state. That required the project to wait until after July 1, the start of the state’s new fiscal year, to begin work.

Man convicted of sexual battery says new evidence could prove innocence

The state is requiring the Lawrence school district to drain $3 million from its main savings account during the next 12 months, an unexpected and accelerated spending plan that is leaving members of the Lawrence school board with an unwanted problem they still know could have been worse.

Board members learned of Ingram the requirement Monday night during a meeting that welcomed four new members: Rick Ingram, Shannon Kimball, Randy Masten and Keith Diaz Kimball Moore.

During a report about the district’s upcoming budget plans, board members were told that they would need to meet a strict interpre- Masten tation of a state law, as advised recently by the Kansas State Department of Education: The district’s special contingency fund, now capped at 10 percent of the Diaz Moore district’s operating budget, would need to be limited to 6 percent by June 30.

That means the district’s fund balance would need to drop from $6.8 million to nearly $3.8 million, all in less than 12 months.

Having another $3.05 million to spend might sound like a good problem to have, but new board members said they’d rather keep the money in reserve. As the state continues to cut funding for public education, several said, the

Judge reduces bond in child abuse case A judge reduced bond for a 34-year-old Lawrence woman who was charged Monday in a child abuse case involving her two sons.

James George, Douglas County’s pro tem judge, agreed with a request from prosecutors to reduce bond for Laura L. Sanders to $5,000 from $25,000 after Sanders was charged with two counts of child abuse earlier Monday.

Lawrence police arrested Sanders on Friday evening, the same day her boyfriend and common-law husband, Stanley E. Burleson, 30, was charged with abusing Sanders’ two sons, who are ages 14 and 12, and threatening the older boy.

Prosecutors allege the abuse took place Wednesday at a south-central Lawrence home.

Police said the boys’ grandmother called police Thursday, and according to court records, prosecutors accuse both Burleson and Sanders with “cruelly” beating the boys, who were taken into protective custody.

A judge last weekend originally set bond for Sanders at $25,000, but Amy McGowan, a chief assistant district attorney, said based on Sanders’

Sanders’ next court appearance is July 26.

Sex crime convict arrested in burglary A 38-year-old Lawrence man who was convicted last month of a sex crime involving a child was arrested Monday as a burglary suspect.

Douglas County prosecutors Monday filed new burglary and theft charges against Alejandro Gutierrez Trevino after police arrested him in connection with a 2 a.m. garage burglary in the 1600 block of Rhode Island Street.

Trevino was convicted last month after entering a plea to attempted aggravated indecent solicitation of a child. He was accused of making an indecent solicitation to a 12year-old girl April 6 in the 1300 block of Prospect Avenue. He was out on bond awaiting sentencing in that case.

Sgt. Matt Sarna, a Lawrence police spokesman, said officers were called after 2 a.m. to the

1600 block of Rhode Island, and a 36-year-old woman alleged someone had broken into her garage and also entered her vehicle in the garage. Officers searched the area and later arrested Trevino.

Prosecutors Monday said a judge had issued an order revoking Trevino’s bond in the sex crime case, and James George, Douglas County’s pro tem judge, agreed to set Trevino’s bond at $25,000, cash or surety, in the burglary case.

Eudora man appears on animal cruelty charge A 44-year-old rural Eudora man pleaded not guilty to an animal cruelty charge Monday in which he’s accused of neglecting to care for his Shet-

Douglas County prosecutors and animal welfare investigators said last month the 13-year-old pony had not had proper care for its hooves, which had overgrown, started to curl and made it difficult for the pony to walk.

Investigators said a veterinarian determined it had been more than a year since the pony had received care for its hooves, and the veterinarian and a farrier were able to help the pony, named CoCo, recover.

The pony was being held in foster care at another location, and investigators were seeking to get it put up for adoption.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY

Students build composting solar latrines in Bolivia STUDENTS WITH KANSAS UNIVERSITY'S CHAPTER of Engineers Without Borders finish pouring a concrete slab for a composting latrine in a Bolivian village.

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

Perched more than 12,000 feet high in the Andes Mountains, the remote village of Azacilo, Bolivia, didn’t have any formal bathroom facilities until a group of Kansas University engineering students arrived.

That was three years ago.

Each summer, the engineers travel to the village to build composting solar latrines.

And they will do so until all of the village’s 27 families and the community’s lone schoolhouse have one.

Earlier this month, the latest group of KU’s Engineers Without Borders chapter returned from Bolivia with reports that the latrines they’ve already built were a success.

“That was one of the coolest things we saw this year, families that were really proud of the latrines and using them well,” said Emily Robbins, a master’s student in environmental engineering.

Since the latrines also serve as a way to provide valuable composting materials for crops and vegetation, the waste has to be routinely covered with dried leaves and ash. It’s a practice that requires educating the village residents, which the group of KU students have done through workshops and community meetings.

“We’ve made the project more long term than other (humanitarian groups) do, and I think it is one of the keys to success,” Robbins said.

‘Different from a school project’ Eight KU students, along

Special to the Journal-World

with engineering professor and faculty adviser Craig Adams, made the trip to Bolivia this year. They were joined by an engineering student from La Paz, Bolivia, who acted as a translator.

Before the arrival of the KU group, the residents of Azacilo were among the 2.5 billion people on earth who didn’t have access to a public sewer system, a septic system, pour-flush latrines or even a private pit latrine, according to the World Health Organization. They simply went to the bathroom on the ground.

It’s not hard to imagine the kinds of health and environmental problems such a practice can cause.

Made of terra-cotta bricks, the latrines are actually built by the village residents. The separate solar composting compartment is attached at the side.

Inside, the compost pile must reach about 122 degrees Fahrenheit for several hours a day. The high temperatures are needed to kill parasites, the worst of which is Ascaris, a giant intestinal roundworm that can sometimes lead to death.

Once the compost has been properly disinfected, which can take one to two

years, it can be transferred to crops that are eaten by livestock or used for other nonedible vegetation.

At home, the engineers had designed a composting compartment that could heat itself through solar energy.

Once in the village, students decide where to locate each of the latrines, an important step in making sure the composting compartment is facing the sun. The students also make sure the foundation is properly poured.

“In one sense, it’s like any other project that you want to see through to completion. On the other hand, it is different from a school project because you are actually affecting people’s lives. And you are actually doing things for the better,” Robbins said.

The group spent eight days at the village, which has limited running water and no refrigeration. They slept on the concrete floor of the community’s one-room schoolhouse, used camp showers and ate the local cuisine of llama jerky, quinoa, soups, eggs and potatoes.

Hard but rewarding work The trip wasn’t exactly relaxing. The work entailed hauling supplies uphill at ele-

district soon will have less money held back to soften the painful cuts that have been coming for years and show few signs of letting up.

“They’ve made us remove the cushion,” said Masten, who has been critical of state spending priorities. “They’ve told us they’re not comfortable with us having that cushion.”

The $6.8 million “cushion” had been expected to help the district offset anticipated declines in state financing for the next four years. In March, the district had approved a plan to help balance its budget for the coming year — a budget that would start with $3 million less money because of state cuts — by using $750,000 from the district’s contingency fund.

Dipping into savings would be coupled with other spending cuts, plus closure of Wakarusa Valley School, reclamation of the district’s Diploma Completion Program and implementation of a bulk purchasing system, to get to $3 million in savings.

Now, board members must decide how to spend an additional $2. 25 million that they’d hoped to hang onto for another few years. A complicating factor will be finding ways to spend the money effectively while minimizing ongoing costs.

“Our job is to figure out where that is,” Ingram said.

Masten suggested that money might be used to buy vocational equipment for Free State and Lawrence high schools or to finance other such “one-time” expenditures. The only requirement is that the money go into the district’s general fund, which also is used to pay ongoing expenses such as teacher salaries, utilities and other operational needs.

Decisions about spending didn’t come Monday night, but some could be expected soon.

District teachers are seeking raises of $1,500 each, which would cost about $1.4 million.

Kim Bodensteiner, the district’s chief academic officer, suggested the possibility of rehiring math and reading specialists let go at the end of this past year, upon expiration of financing from federal stimulus programs.

Such personnel could be offered jobs knowing that they might only last another

year, she said.

Spending down the contingency fund also could have an even longer-reaching effect, Diaz Moore said: The district’s bond rating could decline, leading to higher interest rates on future bond issues, which in turn either would make projects smaller or cost taxpayers more.

“The state is telling us not to serve our taxpayers as well as we could,” he said.

legal standard.”

But Crews and Ellison in Monday’s hearing tried to demonstrate the witnesses had closer associations with his accuser than with Ellison.

Sherrie Born testified the woman told her in 2008 she only made the allegations about Ellison because she was afraid he would harm her and her two young nieces. Born said that she had known the woman since she was a small child and that she barely knew Ellison, although Ellison’s sister had married her son.

“I know that he was in prison, and I know that she tends to lie,” Born said.

Kyle L. House, 25, who is Ellison’s stepbrother but also a cousin of the accuser, said he heard the woman say at a July 2009 party in Lawrence that Ellison had not raped her. House is also serving a prison sentence related to a 2010 Douglas County drug case.

The allegations from the witnesses who testified Monday came as part of an investigation by student interns from the Kansas University School of Law’s Paul E. Wilson Project for Innocence and Post-Conviction Remedies.

The hearing will continue July 25.

Board elects officers With four new members sworn into office, the Lawrence school board elected two incumbent members as officers for 2011-12.

Mark Bradford, who received the most votes in the 2009 board election, will serve as president. Vanessa Sanburn, who finished second in the 2009 election, will serve as vice president.

Board members also agreed to meet Aug. 22 to discuss setting goals for the coming school year.

vations of 12,000 feet, using shovels to clear the land needed to lay the foundations and mixing concrete by hand.

But the biggest challenge was communication, a task that involved three different languages.

Most of the people who live in the village speak the indigenous language of Aymaran. So the KU team makes sure to bring along a Spanish-speaking student, and they have the help of a Bolivian student engineer who translates from Spanish to Aymaran.

Along with navigating the language barrier, the students had to gauge the community dynamics, where certain families don’t always get along with each other. Much of the trip was spent determining which families had latrines and which ones still needed them. They also worked on educating the village residents on why it was important to use the latrines and the proper way to use them.

“The engineering is the easy part,” senior aerospace engineer Matthew Williams said. “The social aspect is the difficult part.”

In the next month, 21 of the 28 latrines will be completed.

All the latrines are expected to be finished when the group returns next summer. The year after that, the students plan to do a water and shower project.

“Improving people’s lives is better than any grade you get on a paper or project,” Williams said. “That’s why you keep going back: to see the progress and improvement in people’s lives.”

Talks on debt produce little progress

By Ben Feller and Andrew Taylor Associated Press Writers

W A S H I N G T O N — President Barack Obama and congressional leaders on Monday emerged still deeply divided over how to slash the nation’s debt, with reality sinking in that even a middleground proposal was not big enough to succeed and would not get through Congress Obama anyway.

As time runs perilously short for action, Obama challenged top lawmakers to return to the White House today with fresh ideas for a debt-reduction plan that could pass the House and Senate. All sides are scrambling to reach a deal as part of a tradeoff in which Congress

would agree to extend the nation’s debt limit by Aug. 2 to prevent a catastrophic government default on its bills.

Turning up the pressure, Obama declared that he would reject any stopgap extension of the nation’s borrowing limit, imploring lawmakers once again to reach one of the most sizable debtreduction deals in years.

He refused to even entertain a backup plan if that doesn’t happen.

“We are going to get this done,” Obama insisted in a news conference.

In a 90-minute closed meeting, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor spelled out potential spending cuts that had been identified in talks led for weeks by Vice President Joe Biden. But Democratic lawmakers in the room made clear such a cutting-only approach without tax hikes on wealthier Americans would never pass the Democratic-led Senate or the

House, where Democratic votes would be needed, too.

It did not appear, either, that such a plan would meet the House Republicans’ own standard of a debt-cutting package. They want cuts that would exceed the size of the increase in the debt limit, which could be about $2.4 trillion to get the country through 2012 and next year’s elections.

Republicans won’t support a package that raises any taxes.

As the stalemate continues, the pressure increases. A government default could trigger another enormous economic swoon.

Democratic officials familiar with the White House position in the private talks insist that leaders of the House and Senate will not let that happen, and that Republicans ultimately would vote to raise the debt limit even if a def icit-cutting package does not come together in time.

Yet Republicans say otherwise. House Speaker John Boehner insists the House can’t pass such a bill.

“I agree with the president that the national debt limit must be raised, and I’m glad that he made the case for it today,” Boehner told reporters. “But the American people will not accept - and the House cannot pass - a bill that raises taxes on job creators.”

Obama renewed his case for a package that would put a historic dent in the country’s deficits by blending politically poisonous elements for both parties: tax hikes for the wealthy and big corporations opposed by Republicans and social service cuts that Democrats decry.

He implored both political parties to give ground and show the American people that Washington can actually work.

“If not now, when?” Obama said.

Murdoch media empire flooded with more accusations

LONDON (AP)— Rupert Murdoch’s media empire was besieged Monday by accusations that two more of his British newspapers engaged in hacking, deception and privacy violations that included accessing former Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s bank account information and stealing the medical records of his seriously ill baby son.

His reporters were also accused of paying Queen Elizabeth II’s bodyguards for secret information about the monarch, potentially jeopardizing her safety.

If proven, the charges by rival newspapers would dramatically increase the pressure on top Murdoch executives so far largely insulated from the scandal.

The public outrage began a week ago over wrongdoing at the Murdoch-owned bestselling tabloid News of the World. It has since disrupted the media titan’s plans to take

over highly profitable satellite broadcaster British Sky Broadcasting and slashed billions off the value of his global conglomerate News Corp.

In Britain, the scandal has cast a harsh light on the unparalleled political influence of Murdoch’s collection of newspapers and is taking an increasing toll on Prime Minister David Cameron. The conservative leader’s former communications chief, Andy Coulson, was arrested last week in connection with alleged payoffs to police when he was editor of News of the World.

With political pressure rising, a final decision on the $12 billion BSKyB takeover was delayed after Murdoch withdrew a promise to spin off news channel Sky News. It was seen as a tactical move that forced the British government to refer the bid to authorities charged with enforcing antimonopoly laws, delaying any decision for months.

Analysts said Murdoch’s move amounts to a favor for Cameron, sparing the prime minister the possibility of an embarrassing defeat in the House of Commons.

The takeover will be spared scrutiny during a period of once-unimaginable public criticism of Murdoch’s British operation, News International, fueled by a relentless stream of new allegations of wrongdoing at its properties.

London’s Evening Standard newspaper reported that corrupt royal protection officers sold personal details about Queen Elizabeth II — including phone numbers and tips about her movements and staff — to journalists working for the Murdoch tabloid News of the World, raising questions over a breach in national security.

In the U.S., Murdoch owns Fox News, The Wall Street Journal and the New York Post, among other holdings.

Minn. shutdown sparks debate on pay

By Patrick Condon Associated Press Writer

S T . P A U L , M I N N . — While thousands of Minnesota employees go without paychecks because the state government is shut down, many lawmakers are still being paid. And the list of workers whose services are deemed “essential” includes the governor’s housekeeper and his personal chef.

As the shutdown entered its second full week Monday, with no end in sight, politicians and public employees traded accusations over who’s getting paid, who isn’t and why.

“None of them should be getting paid,” said Mike Lindholt, a Department of Transportation maintenance worker idled by the shutdown. “If you don’t do your job, you don’t get paid. That’s how it is for most people.”

The political leaders whose budget dispute caused the shutdown are still entitled to collect their pay, and more than half of them are.

Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton and the Republican Senate majority leader have both declined their checks, as have some rank-and-file lawmakers of both parties. But many others are still collecting checks, including the Republican House speaker.

“I would like to be treated just like every other state employee,” said Republican

Carla Nelson of Rochester, one of 14 state senators who is refusing her salary until the impasse is resolved. “I thought it was the right thing to do for myself and my constituents.”

State lawmakers earn $31,140 a year, which is paid in monthly installments.

Because the Legislature is part-time, some members have other jobs. For others, it’s their only source of income.

The shutdown began its 11th day Monday, keeping

22,000 state employees at home without pay. The impasse has halted 100 road projects, closed 66 state parks, barricaded numerous highway rest stops and cut off many services. In that time, Dayton and GOP leaders have met just twice to discuss their differences.

As of midday Monday, no further budget negotiations were scheduled. Minnesota is the only state in the nation that has not approved a new budget this year.

Tourism opportunity Local officials should be taking a hard look at how the original rules of basketball might be used to anchor a major tourist attraction.

T

he prospect of bringing James Naismith’s original rules of basketball to Lawrence opens a window of opportunity for Kansas University and local tourism.

Last week, it was reported that Kansas Athletics Inc. was working with an architectural firm on plans to house the rules in Lawrence, perhaps in an addition to Allen Fieldhouse and the existing Booth Family Hall of Athletics. The fieldhouse is a logical choice for the display, but before this project moves forward, KU athletics officials should involve local tourist officials in discussions about exactly what their goals are for displaying the rules.

Any plan, of course, must gain the full approval of David Booth, the KU alumnus who paid $4.3 million for the two typewritten pages at auction last December. As Booth said after the purchase, the rules are “serious stuff” that must be displayed in a highly secure setting.

The question, however, is whether the main goal of a rules display should be simply to preserve and protect the document or whether it might be used as a centerpiece for a broader attraction based on Lawrence’s important ties to the history of basketball.

Although Dr. James Naismith invented the game of basketball in 1891 in Springfield, Mass., he brought that game to KU in 1898 and lived here until his death in 1939. He coached at KU until he turned the reins over to Forrest C. “Phog” Allen in 1908. Naismith, who is known as the “father of basketball,” reportedly dubbed Allen, KU’s winningest coach of all time, as the “father of basketball coaching.”

Both men are buried in Lawrence.

Across the last 113 years, KU’s basketball coaches, players and fans have provided a notable legacy. Any fan of basketball, and especially college basketball, would be a potential visitor to an exhibit that showcased that history — especially if that exhibit was anchored by the original basketball rules complete with Naismith’s handwritten notes. Working together, it seems KU and Lawrence officials could create a basketball-based attraction that would be a major tourist draw for the city, something that would put Lawrence on the map for basketball enthusiasts.

Maybe Allen Fieldhouse is the best place for such a display, but perhaps other locations that provide easier access and parking should be considered. Booth indicated last week that keeping costs for the exhibit at a reasonable level was a priority. It’s good to be frugal, but that shouldn’t keep university and city officials from thinking bigger about how to capitalize on the basketball rules to create a broader tourist attraction.

Next to its connections to Bleeding Kansas, Lawrence’s most unique and marketable story for tourism may be its basketball history.

David Booth’s willingness to display the Naismith rules in Lawrence presents an important opportunity that shouldn’t be missed.

Nonviolence may spur change in Syria Last week, the U.S. ambassador to Syria, Robert Ford, made an extraordinary trip to the besieged city of Hama. His visit was meant to support tens of thousands of peaceful demonstrators holding olive branches and roses in a city ringed by troops.

This was more than a brave diplomatic gesture aimed at discouraging further Syrian crackdowns. It was a recognition of a powerful new strategy of protest that has toppled autocrats in Tunisia and Egypt and may yet oust harsher tyrants. It could even become a crucial factor in the struggle between Israelis and Palestinians.

I refer to nonviolent action used in strategic ways.

We all witnessed the peaceful tactics that undermined autocrats in Tunis and Cairo, where armies refused to fire on unarmed protesters. But experts argue that such tactics won’t work against more determined despots as long as their armies hold firm.

Thus, we watched the forces of hard-line ayatollahs crush millions of protesters in Iran’s Green Revolution, while civil war drags on in Yemen and Libya. And despite weeks of demonstrations in Syria, President Bashar alAssad has yet to make meaningful concessions. His officer corps, filled with members of his minority Alawite sect, has so far held firm and has been willing to fire live rounds into unarmed crowds.

Yet developments in Hama, along with the lessons of Egypt’s revolution, show how nonviolent resistance could undo Assad.

Hama is a powerful symbol, the place where Assad’s father, Hafez,

Trudy Rubin trubin@phillynews.com

“

Back in the preInternet, pre-YouTube era, Assad the elder could act with impunity. … Today, the younger Assad can’t ignore Syrian public sentiment, or wider Arab and international opinion.” sent his army to surround thousands of protesters, led by the Muslim Brotherhood, in 1982. Between 10,000 and 25,000 people were massacred, and the historic walled town of Hama was flattened.

Back in the pre-Internet, preYouTube era, Assad the elder could act with impunity. I still recall a chilling interview in Damascus in 1983, in which I asked a senior Syrian official about the oil painting of old Hama on his wall. Without batting an eye, he answered, “Oh, that’s our lovely city of Hama” — even though he knew that I knew the city lay in ruins.

Today, the younger Assad can’t ignore Syrian public sentiment, or wider Arab and international opinion. His economy is vulnerable to sanctions. His largely Sunni (and increasingly reli-

gious) population will get video feedback of massacres, even with Internet restrictions. Some Hama residents have already been shot, but another massacre could rouse greater public protest and split the army.

What Egyptian protesters would tell their Syrian counterparts is: Use nonviolent tactics to exploit these vulnerabilities until the regime cracks.

Syrian opposition groups are probably familiar with the strategy of nonviolence described to me by a prominent Egyptian activist named Dahlia Ziada.

Now the Egypt office director of the American Islamic Congress, Ziada translated a comic book about the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. into Arabic in 2004 and attended a workshop on nonviolence at Tufts University’s Fletcher School in 2008.

In recent years, her organization set up civil resistance training sessions for dozens of Egyptian activists, who in turn spread the message. Many other young Egyptians found their way on the Internet to materials produced by the Washington-based International Center on Nonviolent Conflict. Moreover, the approach of the demonstrators in Tahrir Square was instinctively nonviolent, even among those with no training; there were constant chants of “silmya, silmya,” meaning peaceful or no problem.

But what made nonviolence work was a strategic approach by Egyptian youth leaders.

“You have to understand your opponent,” Ziada told me in Cairo, “how they think, what are their strengths and weaknesses.”

These regimes depend, she said, on “certain pillars.” The opposition must figure out “how to take down each pillar until the whole thing falls down.”

In Egypt, that meant that protesters campaigned against corruption and high food prices, which drew a broader segment of society into demonstrations. It also meant convincing the military that the demonstrators were not the enemy.

“When the military came to the streets, the people didn’t oppose them,” Ziada said. “They cheered for them, chanting, ‘The people and the military are one hand.’ We took them over to our side.”

Of course, in Egypt, unlike in Syria, the military had no history of firing on civilians. But even in Syria, the regime has “pillars” that the opposition can weaken with nonviolent tactics. Sunni merchants, scared minorities, or army foot soldiers can be wooed more readily by peaceful protesters than by armed rebels.

This doesn’t guarantee that nonviolence will succeed, especially in the short run, or that it will frighten determined killers. But if a situation is ripe, nonviolent protest may be the most potent tool of Arab rebellions - and one that will be used more often by Palestinian protesters now that peace talks with Israel have failed.

So Ambassador Ford was wise to make his risky voyage to Hama.

Once the scene of slaughter, it has become the symbol of Syrian revolution. And it will surely test the power of nonviolent revolt.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for July 12, 1911: "Today is a gala day for the street car employees. They canYEARS not have their picnics and good AGO times when other people are IN 1911 having theirs, for they must be busy collecting the nickels and hauling the people on occasions like a general holiday. An ordinary holiday means little to the street car men except long hours, crowded cars, and hard work. But this is not an ordinary holiday. It is a special one declared by the street car management for the benefit of its regular employees, given in appreciation for the manner in which they have handled the crowds this summer and especially on the Fourth of July.

At three o'clock this afternoon the men and their wives and families boarded the cars and went to the park as passengers instead of as motormen and conductors. An excellent program was prepared and the men are having the time of their lives.”

PUBLIC FORUM

Smells like politics To the editor: I served as county attorney in a rural area for a number of years. In that capacity, I quickly found that one of the most important functions of SRS is to assist law enforcement with emergency situations involving children in need of care. It is therefore important for Douglas County to have a local SRS office, if for no other reason than to assist those children who are in immediate need of care.

In my small jurisdiction, law enforcement worked practically on a daily basis with SRS to assist children in bad situations. I can’t imagine the havoc and hardship this poor decision is going to create. The move to close the Lawrence SRS office smells like politics. Shame on you, Gov. Brownback and cronies.

Perry Warren, Lawrence

Unfair partner To the editor: For all my 40 years of living in Lawrence and working at a local nonprofit, I have always considered our community as “resource rich,” not extravagantly so but effectively so. We have built excellent nonprofits, churches, medical care, civic organizations and businesses that collaborate on trying to meet the complicated needs of citizens with innate or acquired challenges and barriers to a healthy productive and included life.

SRS has always been a critical component of these successful local partnerships. SRS staff don’t just process applications but serve as an expert link between the person in need, the local services and the complicated state and federal funding mechanisms, regulations and requirements that help support those services.

In a recent Journal-World article about the possibility of continuing federal funding in the absence of state funding for the Kansas

Arts Commission, a funder said something to the effect that state government needs to be a fair partner and you can’t take a piece out of the whole without unraveling the structure. Removing that critical local link from our community by closing the SRS office will result in service fragmentation, confusion, helplessness, and an overall poorer community in every sense of the word. Even if you are lucky enough to never need this kind of lifeline, all of us will feel the impact to our community, and we will be the less for it.

Please let this administration know that, in every aspect of this ill-conceived decision, they are not behaving as a fair partner.

Jill Baker, Lawrence

Shades of gray To the editor: The entire idea of a society, in general, is that we do better when we work together rather than fighting each other. It’s why we stopped being wandering tribes and built cities around shared ideas, religions or political ideals. But, since “there ain’t no such thing as a free lunch,” there is a price that you pay for being a member of any society. You agree that you will act to prevent harm to that society, and that you will work to make it better. And in exchange, you get good roads and schools. You get security and safety to start a business or family.

And it used to be, cities gave you a better place to beg for money and food. But years ago, we decided that it would be better if people didn’t have to be on the streets. Our government decided that they would start programs to help people in need. Do they get abused sometimes? Sure. Is it absolutely necessary at others? Most definitely. But to eliminate these programs because of the abuse is a cure worse than the disease.

Not everyone in the world is a filthy free-

loader who is after your money. Not everyone is a stingy Scrooge who wants to let everyone starve. Liberal is not a dirty word.

Neither is conservative. The world is shades of gray. Practical solutions require compromise, which means we have to work together. And that means everyone feels the pinch, from the prince to the pauper.

Dan Rathbun, Lawrence

Faith-based policy To the editor: I was shocked reading the Journal-World’s headline about closing the Lawrence SRS office. I was not shocked about the closing as much as I was the Journal-World printing a quote by Rep. Paul Davis about Gov. Brownback in the same headline thereby insinuating that Gov. Brownback closed the office.

That is not true at all!

Mr. Brownback, as a new governor, inherited the Kansas budget debt. He had to balance the budget. He could not print or borrow more money to pay the debt. He had to raise taxes in a time of poor economy and heavy unemployment or drastically reduce spending. He chose to reduce spending.

Because of spending cutbacks. SRS had to reduce their spending. SRS made the choice to close the Lawrence office, not Mr. Brownback!

Please do not think of me wrong. I’m not a Democrat or Republican. I’m a born again Christian who believes in the truth! Mr. Brownback has been trying to govern on a faith-based system.

Most readers of this letter do not like Mr. Brownback’s idea of governing on a faith basis. But you have to realize the United States is failing fast. We have lost our luster.

It is time we wake up and put this country back on its righteous foundation.

Donald W. Collins, Lawrence

Mercury spill clears K-State fraternity MANHATTAN (AP) — Residents of a Kansas State fraternity are living elsewhere while officials investigate a mercury spill.

The university says the spill occurred two weeks ago at the Beta Sigma Psi house, an offcampus fraternity house. Officials weren’t called until Sunday.

Officials from Manhattan, the state and the Environmental Protection Agency went to the house Sunday after a resident called to ask about cleaning up the spill, which occurred when fraternity members were moving items in storage.

The 20 residents of the house have been relocated to other residence halls. The students included some nonfraternity members who are part of a science research program.

The students have been screened for possible mercury exposure.

KMAN reported that the EPA said the building would be unoccupied for at least two weeks.

KANSAS BASKETBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

New rules good for KU? Larry “Contrary” Keating, an associate athletic director at Kansas University, loves to take the other side of a debate. He has had much tougher challenges than one he faced in his office Monday afternoon.

So, Larry Contrary, if college basketball changed the rule that disqualifies players after five fouls to four, the game would be less physical and more entertaining, right?

“No,” Keating said. “I want six. It keeps the good players in the game. I was a big proponent when the Big East did that for a year.”

That experiment happened during Keating’s 12-year run as athletic director of Seton Hall.

Now that Keating has crushed that spur-of-themoment proposal, let’s see how he thinks actual rules changes coming this season in men’s and women’s college basketball might impact the game.

The semicircle under the basket that eliminates charging calls if the defender is within it will go into effect. In the women’s game, the three-point line will move out a foot, to 20-feet, 9-inches, the men’s distance the past three seasons.

Keating served two stints on the men’s basketball rules committee, the first in the mid-’90s, the next a decade later and was on the committee when the men moved the three-point line back.

Keating gave reasons he believes the rule changes will help Tyshawn Taylor, hurt Duke and help Carolyn Davis.

“If you’re playing a real quick guard like Tyshawn, you’re going to say, ‘OK, every time it looks like he’s going to the basket, slide across and try to draw the charge.’ So what was happening was these quick guards were beating their man and just about getting their shots off, if not getting them off, and then hitting this guy who’s just standing under the basket, not playing defense,” Keating said. “You go watch any Duke game. I guarantee you there are at least five times that the guy off the ball is getting charge calls. That was their defensive strategy. That’s not going to be a charge anymore.”

What will it be?

“It will be interesting to see if the refs will let the contact go or does this guy now get charged with a blocking foul?”

Keating wondered. “Until you get through the fall and they have all the referee clinics and tell the guys how to administer the rules, we won’t know.”

Keating said the officials were supposed to pay more attention to “unfair off-the-ball defense,” but without the semicircle under the hoop, it never took.

“Now the ref’s got a place to look at to see it,” Keating said.

“If the guy’s foot is in there, he’s not getting the call. Officials initially were opposed to it because it’s a tough call. You’re calling the play, and you’ve got to see where the guy’s feet are, too.”

Keating, who attends all the women’s games in Allen Fieldhouse as well, is a huge fan of Davis’ game.

“She’s one of the best I’ve ever seen at catching the ball and getting the shot off right away,” Keating said. “And I think moving the three-point line back will make it tougher for the players out front to doubledown because they have one more foot of space to cover now.”

Good for Carolyn and Tyshawn, not so good for Duke.

How do you like the new rules so far?

Recruit Keaton reaffirms commitment to KU

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Keaton says he isn’t having second thoughts about coming to KU

Just a couple of days after reports surfaced that Class of 2012 commitment Derek Keaton, an “athlete” from Camden (Ark.) Fairview High, was reevaluating his future because of g rowing interest from Arkansas, Keaton went on record to reaffirm his pledge to the Kansas University football program.

“I was sitting at home, and one

of my high school coaches asked me if I was having second thoughts,” Keaton told Jon Kirby of Rivals.com. “He said he read I might go to Arkansas camp. I told him I wasn’t (going), so I called up (KU) coach (Turner) Gill and (KU offensive line) coach J.B. Grimes. Coach Gill told me he appreciated me calling him and believed I would be a man of my word. He told me back when I committed other schools would start calling.”

It’s no surprise that they have.

Immigration law an issue at MLB All-Star game ALL-STAR GAME When: 7 tonight Where: Chase Stadium, Phoenix TV: FOX (cable channels 4, 204) Starting pitchers: Jered Weaver vs.

Roy Halladay Royals player: Aaron Crow

PHOENIX (AP) — The Rev. Jesse Jackson is urging baseball’s AllStars to speak out against the Arizona immigration law, saying they should follow the example set by Jackie Robinson when he broke the game’s color barrier more than a half-century ago.

The sport’s national spotlight returned this week to the Sonoran Desert for the first time since Luis Gonzalez’s ninth-inning single off Mariano Rivera won Game 7 of the 2001 World Series for the Diamondbacks, landing

the All-Stars — those who didn’t drop out — in the hot debate over the law known as SB 1070.

Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig ignored calls by some to move today’s game.

“It’s obviously too late for them to withdraw from the scene,” Jackson said Monday during a telephone interview with the Associated Press. “I think they should play, and they should speak out, which would be of value.”

Please see ALL-STAR, page 10B

Though he orally committed to KU a few weeks ago, a handful of schools have continued to pursue the player whom some have called one of the hidden gems in the Class of 2012.

At 5-foot-11, 168 pounds, it’s not Keaton’s size that makes him a dynamic playmaker. It’s his 4.4second 40-yard dash speed and great instincts.

During his junior season at Fairview, Keaton caught 62 passes for 974 yards and 13 touchdowns. He also tallied 497 yards

and 10 TDs on 67 carries from the backfield and averaged 36 yards per attempt on kickoff returns and 10 yards per try on punt returns.

On defense, he split time at cornerback and safety, and he recently said he believed that’s where his future would lie.

“I think I will be a cornerback and return man in college,” Keaton told Otis Kirk of HawgSports.com.

ROYALS TODAY • All-Star Game

Lawyers in NFL labor dispute meet NEW YORK (AP) — Less than two weeks before some training camps are scheduled to open, the NFL remains in labor limbo, with only the lawyers for both sides meeting.

Attorneys met Monday in New York to clarify language from previous discussions and will do so again today. Originally, owners and players were to get together for more negotiations today, but now won’t do so before Wednesday.

Several issues are close to resolution, the most significant being

the split of total revenues between owners and players.

But snags involving a rookie wage scale, free agency rules and benefits for retired players have slowed the process. While the league’s negotiators hope they can present a new collective bargaining agreement to all the owners at their July 21 meeting in Atlanta, not striking a deal before then figures to cause postponement of the start of training camps, and probably cancellation of the Hall of Fame game Aug. 7 in Canton, Ohio.

The St. Louis Rams and Chicago Bears are set to play in that game, and both teams planned to open training camp next week.

The NFL would need about a week to get the new deal ratified and in place, meaning teams couldn’t start signing free agents or draftees, make trades or begin workouts until the end of the month. That would jeopardize the first weekend of exhibition games, Aug. 11-15, at a cost of upward of $60 million in overall revenues.

Commissioner Roger Goodell

and several owners will negotiate with NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith and members of the players’ executive board later this week. Extensive negotiations Thursday and Friday seemed promising, but the parties were unable to close the gap on the rookie wage scale — a subject that wasn’t nearly as contentious in earlier sessions. At issue is how many first-round picks would fall under the wage scale and the length of contracts teams could offer those rookies.

COMMENTARY

Dear fans: Rangers fan honored at funeral Get off Jeter’s back, please

By Ken Davidoff Newsday

PHOENIX — So apparently, this isn’t just a New York thing.

The notion that Derek Jeter is no longer Teflon? It’s gone national.

The newest member of the 3,000-hit club isn’t here at the All-Star game, by his own choosing; Jeter, voted the starting AL shortstop, announced Friday that he would neither play in the Midsummer Classic nor come to Phoenix to thank the fans.

Much anonymous, intra-industry grumbling has resulted, and Phillies chairman Bill Giles, the honorary NL president, wondered why Jeter wouldn’t come. Said Giles: “Yeah, I think it’s too bad that Jeter in particular is not here, because of what he accomplished over the weekend, and I think it is a bit of a problem and baseball should study it.”

Although Jeter tends to be overly sensitive regarding everything from his onfield performance to his Florida mansion to his contract negotiations last winter, I think he deserves a mulligan on this one.

He should be able to enjoy three days of peace and quiet amid a very noisy season.

More to the point, he repeatedly has proved his willingness to represent MLB. “I’ve got so much respect for Derek,” AL manager Ron Washington told Newsday. “If Derek pulled out of this game, there was a reason. I don’t think he would have let the fans down just to not be a part of this. He’s a class act.”

This All-Star game has turned into the No-Stars Game, or at least the drip-drip of dropping-out players has created that perception. Mainstays Albert Pujols and Ichiro Suzuki didn’t make the team, and Jeter, Alex Rodriguez (knee surgery) and Mariano Rivera (triceps) backed out.

The list of All-Stars blew up from the original 68 to 84, thanks to injury withdrawals and the rule that pitchers who started Sunday can’t be active. Most injured players still bothered to come, however. Jose Reyes, who has been named to four All-Star games and will sit out his third, always attends.

“Personally, every time I have an opportunity to come here, I’m going to come no matter what happens,” said Reyes, elected as the NL starting shortstop.

Reyes added, however, “You have to understand Jeter. He’s coming back from an injury. It’s good for him to take a break.”

The criticism of Jeter evokes, for me, words Roger Clemens spoke the day he testified in front of Congress in 2008. Not the ones for which Jeter’s pal is now in trouble, though.

“When the commissioner asked me to get myself together to go out there, and the league asked me to put USA on my chest and represent my team, my country, I did everything I could to get ready,” said Clemens, referring to his participation in the 2006 World Baseball Classic.

His point essentially was: I’ve done so much for this game. Why are you doing this to me?

The same goes for Jeter. He played in both World Baseball Classics for Team USA. In 2008, he served as “host” of the All-Star Game at the old Stadium. He addressed the fans at its closing, and again a year ago when the Yankees honored the late George Steinbrenner and Bob Sheppard.

“The guy does enough as it is,” said Shane Victorino, who won the fans’ Internet ballot as the extra NL player, sprained his right thumb and decided to show up anyway. “He’s definitely the face of baseball. He just reached 3,000 hits. I could imagine what he has to deal with. I’m sure he has a lot on his plate.”

Sure, in a perfect world, Jeter would be here and soak in the adulation of contemporaries and fans. But we’ve known in New York, for a while now, that Jeter isn’t perfect. For this supposed transgression, he should be quickly forgiven.

BROWNWOOD, TEXAS — Shannon Stone loved joking around with his pals. He loved giving nicknames to his colleagues. And he loved being a fireman, the job he’d wanted since he was a kid.

Yet what this tall, smiling 39-year-old loved most were baseball and his family, especially his 6-year-old son, Cooper.

So the fact Stone died while taking Cooper to a Texas Rangers game — and, worse still, while reaching to catch a baseball thrown by the boy’s favorite player, Josh Hamilton — was hardly mentioned during his memorial service Monday.

Instead, the focus was on how much joy he brought to so many people, and he was laid to rest with all the formality of a firefighter who died in the line of duty.

“They really, really captured the essence of what he was — a really good guy with a good sense of humor,” said Johnson County Sheriff’s Sgt. Ron Russek II, who knew Stone for more than 20 years and worked with his father and brother. “He cared about people, like a true servant.”

More than 1,000 people filled the First United Methodist Church, the majority of them firefighters, police officers and other emergency workers from across Texas. After an hourlong service that Russek described as having “probably more laughter than tears,” the officers lined up in rows for an emotional procession to the cemetery eight miles away.

KFC says it made the offer in response to one of Wade’s tweets when the NBA lockout began, in which he playfully asked if anyone was hiring. Wade worked at KFC before his NBA days.

GOLF Ryu captures U.S. Women’s Open COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. — As she stood on the 18th green drenched in champagne, holding a trophy and wearing a mile-wide smile, there was no doubt about it: So Yeon Ryu is the brightest star on a South Korean golf roster that has more than its share of them.

The 21-year-old won the U.S. Women’s Open on Monday, first with a birdie on No. 18 that tied her Korean rival, Hee Kyung Seo, then with a shotmaking clinic over a threehole playoff to beat Seo by three shots.

It was the latest — and most emphatic — statement about the pecking order of women’s golf in South Korea, where the sport’s stars turn into the country’s icons and Se Ri Pak is already a legend at age 33.

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -WORLD

————

Former All-Pro linebacker to be an assistant at Ohio State COLUMBUS, OHIO (AP) — Former All-Pro outside linebacker Mike Vrabel believes his 14 years in the NFL will help him as an assistant coach at his alma mater.

After several days of speculation, Vrabel off icially retired from the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday and also announced he was returning to Ohio State as a linebackers coach. He’ll take the spot vacated by his former roommate and teammate, Luke Fickell, who was elevated to head coach after Jim Tressel was forced to resign on May 30.

Vrabel believes his playing days relate and translate to his new job. But that doesn’t mean he’ll often be sporting the three Super Bowl rings he won with the New England Patriots.

“I haven’t worn them since the day I got them,” he said at a news conference on Monday morning in the Buckeyes’ practice facility. “Once you win them, you don’t really have to wear them. People know that you won the Super Bowl and you helped contribute to a championship team. I don’t anticipate, you know, putting three rings on and going out on a recruiting trip.”

The 35-year-old Vrabel played four years for the Pittsburgh Steelers, eight seasons with the Patriots and, for the past two years, the Kansas City Chiefs. He said working with so many young players

on the Chiefs roster was good preparation for a coaching career.

“I got plenty of practice,” he said of coaching. “That’s a young football team. It was a great role to go out there and play. And not only help them on the field but help guys in the locker room and f ilm room. I was blessed to have a lot of great coaches. But these last two years, when you’re coaching 20and 21-yearold guys that are fresh out of college, that’s probably helped Vrabel me the most.”

Chiefs GM Scott Pioli, who sent a second-round draft pick for Vrabel and quarterback Matt Cassel before the 2009 season, called Vrabel a winner.

“His genuine love for the game, his preparation, his work ethic, leadership and dependability are qualities you want from every player,” Pioli said. “He is a champion in every sense of the word, and I’m confident all of these qualities will make him a great coach. I cannot overstate my respect for him as a person and a football player.”

Vrabel lettered from 199396 at Ohio State when John Cooper was the head coach.

He was a two-time Big Ten defensive player of the year.

I’ve always been pretty athletically gifted; I’ve always been pretty strong without trying very hard.

“I’m kind of excited to see what will become of all of this hard work, because this is unlike anything I’ve ever done before.”

The workouts aren’t the only way Anderson has become acquainted with Lawrence.

He arrived in town July 4 while fireworks were going off in the sky around him.

“It was kind of like Canada Day all over again,” said Anderson, who just three days earlier celebrated his native country’s national d ay w i t h h i s fa m i ly i n Edmonton.

During his appearance at KU’s Friday Night Lights camp in June, Keaton worked out at wide receiver and cornerback. After tearing it up on that Friday, the KU coaching staff offered Keaton a scholarship the next morning. He accepted immediately.

After receiving interest from Arkansas and dozens of other schools, Keaton chose KU over scholarship offers from Mississippi and Missouri State.

Coaches Honors Court on Monday.

The award recognizes basketball players who excelled in academics during the 2010-11 school year. To reach the honors court, a junior or senior must have a cumulative GPA of

3.2 or higher at the end of the academic year.

Reed, who has graduated, majored in exercise science and pre-physical therapy; Teahan, a senior, majors in finance and accounting; Juenemann, a senior, majors in exercise science.

Sprint to get his phone hooked up.

Almost every time he has gone out, someone has identified him as a KU basketball player.

“It just feels like every single person in Lawrence and the surrounding area is a KU fan, and they recognize you right away,” Anderson said. “That stuff’s crazy. To be a freshman and never even been on national television yet, yet people are still doing the research and still know who you are and are anticipating you coming ... it’s unbelievable.”

Anderson — who picked KU over Kentucky, Arizona, Florida, Missouri and Memphis in April — is rooming with freshman Naadir Tharpe, who requested that the two be placed together.

Though KU doesn’t have a pre-law major, Anderson plans to take classes to prepare himself for law school.

“I want to become a defense attorney,” Anderson said. “I feel like that would be inter-

esting. I wanted to be a doctor for a really long time, but when a few members of my family got into legal trouble and had to pay a quarter of a million dollars for someone to help them out, it was just mind-blowing to me. I really wish I could have been able to help them out.”

Of course, law school will wait if Anderson is able to pursue a career in basketball.

At KU, he’s decided to wear No. 3 — a number that he’s never had previously.

“I just feel like it would look good on me,” Anderson said.

“I kind of want to start a new legacy. This is a new place. I feel like I’m starting fresh.

Anything that I’ve done before doesn’t matter.”

Though Anderson has played basketball in the United States for the last two years, he said leaving Okotoks for Lawrence felt different.

“I feel like I have a new home now,” Anderson said. “I can’t wait to get to know it better.”

Keaton is one of the three prospects from the Class of 2012 to commit orally to Kansas so far. He is joined by Florida cornerback Daniel Gray and Blue Valley West offensive lineman Brian Beckmann.

Provided those three stick with their commitments, Kansas has 10 scholarships remaining to pass out for 2012.

I can’t wait to be a mother, but I’m beginning to think I would be better off doing it alone. How can I get my fiance and sister to grow up and understand the changes that are coming? — N.E.

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

Dear N.E.: If your fiance doesn’t understand the need to contribute to the maintenance of his home, he is not ready to be a husband and father. And your sister must find her own place as soon as possible. Her presence compounds the problems with your fiance. The two of them feed off of each other, looking for ways to avoid responsibility. You’ve been a good sister.

Help yours find another place to live, and then get into coun-

Gordon Ramsay visits Vietnam in ‘Great Escape’ Half of the summer series are singing competitions, and the other half feature Gordon Ramsay. OK, that's not true, but it sure seems that way. Don't go looking for "MasterChef" tonight, but you can console yourself with "Gordon Ramsay's Great Escape" (8 p.m., BBC America).

The loud, angry and ridiculously overexposed cook and restaurateur travels to Southeast Asia, home to some of the few cuisines that Ramsay has not mastered. So let's look for humility on the menu.

Tonight's "Escape" takes him to Vietnam.

During the four-part series, he'll also sample the cultures and cuisines of Cambodia, Malaysia and Thailand. ● Cooking shows that don't feature Gordon Ramsay often have something to do with baking cookies, cakes and/or cupcakes. And when those bakers aren't squeezing frosting, they're plugging other products or celebrities. How many times did Kate Gosselin drag the kids to "Cake Boss"? Or was it "Ace of Cakes"? Does it matter?

On tonight's "Staten Island Cakes" (8 p.m., WE), young Vinny is profiled in a local luxury magazine called Bella. Never heard of Bella? Now you have. And that's the point.

In other cross-merchandising news, Vinny's sister Kristin "runs into" Angelina Pivarnick of "Jersey Shore" fame. (How do so many reality stars have so many chance encounters?) Anyway, Angelina chats with Kristin about the party she's planning for the release of her new single. You didn't know that she's releasing a new single?

Now you do. And that's the point. ● For those who prefer hot dogs and beer to cupcakes, the Major League Baseball All-Star Game (7 p.m., Fox) unfolds live from Chase Field in Phoenix.

Announcers Joe Buck and Tim McCarver provide the play-by-play and analysis. ● Documentaries don't get much more important than "Enemies of the People" on "POV" (9 p.m., PBS). Journalist Thet Sambath recalls the Khmer Rouge and its genocide of 2 million people, a quarter of Cambodia's population. He goes into the hinterlands and scores an interview with Nuon Chea, the radical regime's secondin-command. Now an old man, Nuon Chea admits his crimes for the first time and reluctantly explains why the mass killings were ordered.

"People" also reflects the cat-andmouse nature of trying to cajole confessions from a reluctant witness, no matter how culpable and no matter how monstrous the crime. ● TV-themed DVDs available today include the third season of "Damages," which originally aired on FX.

Tonight’s other highlights ● "History Detectives" (7 p.m., PBS) examines fabric linked to aviator Charles Lindbergh. ● Home invasions on "NCIS: Los Angeles" (8 p.m., CBS). ● Fire claims a cherished tourist attraction on "Memphis Beat" (8 p.m., TNT). ● A new con man, barely of shaving age, emerges on "White Collar" (8 p.m., USA). ● "48 Hours Mystery" (9 p.m., CBS) examines the Casey Anthony verdict. ● Back on the farm on "Combat Hospital" (9 p.m., ABC). ● A ruse in Belarus on "Covert Affairs" (10 p.m., USA).

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Tuesday, July 12: This year you will work to get past an innate shyness or awkwardness.

Sometimes you will experience anger rather than feel your vulnerability. If you are single, you might want to establish a relationship.

Yet what works today might not work later.

Please keep that in mind. If you are attached, the two of you will transform many of your interactions for the better. You can count on Sagittarius.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You'll Have: 5Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) ★★★★★ Keep reaching out for someone at a distance. You could be taken aback by a situation that, at best, feels awkward.

Tonight: Break past the obvious.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ★★★★★ Build a better relationship between you and an important person in your life. Your first few gestures could feel awkward or strange. This will pass.

Tonight: Clear out some errands.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ★★★★ How you want to handle a personal mat-

ter could change because of clearing out some very strong and possibly hurtful feelings. Tonight: Say "yes" to living.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ★★★★ Your easy pace makes a distinct difference. Someone at work could demand more than you can give. Is this a boundary issue, or something else? Tonight: Just don't make anything more difficult than need be.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★★ Your creativity cannot be denied. Wherever you direct your attention, it streams out. A feeling of being a little out of kilter could affect you.

Tonight: Let your hair down.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★★ Anchor in, knowing what you need to do. A domestic or personal matter keeps floating through. Tonight: Head home.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ★★★★ Don't let someone color your impressions. You respect this person, but it doesn't make him or her right. Tonight: Hang out with a friend.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★ Listen to forthcoming news from an associate or partner. Your ability to identify with oth-

Dear Annie: Five months ago, I begged my sister to move in with me to get her away from her abusive boyfriend. It took some convincing and tough love, but she finally ceased contact with him completely. Three months after she moved in, my fiance and I found out that we were expecting a baby. We set a wedding date, and he moved in immediately.

We are getting married next weekend, and I am losing my mind. Neither my fiance nor my sister is paying their share of the bills. Neither wants to clean the house. In fact, they don’t seem to have grown up at all, even though we will soon be adding to our family.

They both ignore basic responsibilities and think it’s outrageous that I would put mowing the lawn ahead of poker night at the bar.

There isn’t enough room in the house for the three of us, much less a baby, and the situation is compounded when my fiance’s 4-year-old son visits. To make matters worse, I’m having a hard time distinguishing between legitimate concerns, pre-wedding jitters and pregnancy hormones. My sister says she plans to move out before the baby is born, but I don’t believe her.

I am a college graduate with a great job, and I worked hard to get where I am. I’m willing

Cano slugs Gonzalez in Derby P H O E N I X (AP ) — Robinson Cano thought about hitting the Miller Lite sign, a 472-foot drive off an advertisement a good 50 feet or more above and well behind the swimming pool at Chase Field.

“That was my favorite one.

I’m going to have that in my mind for the next two or three weeks. I wonder how far could it be, that in New York?” he said. “I got power.”

In another Yankees-Red Sox showdown, Cano outslugged Adrian Gonzalez 12-11 in the final round of the AllStar Home Run Derby on Monday night, even through his Boston rival made the biggest splash at Chase Field.

Batting last and being pitched to by his father, former Houston Astros pitcher Jose Cano, the New York second baseman batted second in the final round. Each hit 20 home runs through two rounds.

“As a kid, you dream to be up here with a bunch of guys that you watched back in the day, like Sosa, Griffey, McGwire, Giambi, how much fun they have,” Robinson Cano said.

Again highlighting the dangers of trying to catch a ball at a big-league ballpark, a fan standing on a table above the pool deck, Keith Carmickle of suburban Kingman, fell over trying to catch a Prince Fielder homer. The fan was

Carmickle was dangling when he was pulled back up.

Gonzalez hit a ball that wound up in the swimming pool in right field — along with Mike Moon, a 26-yearold fan who caught the ball before falling into the water, where he was surrounded by bikini-clad women.

“I saw the ball, I didn’t want to spill my beer and I didn’t spill my beer,” he said. “I don’t really remember what happened. I think I leaned forward, caught the ball, then fell like that (leaning backward).

It was pretty cool.”

With commercial breaks and other interruptions, the derby has become a threehour affair that’s so slow a regular-season game seems like

Halladay will start for the NL in tonight’s game.

Halladay, Weaver lead arms race ————

Phils ace, Angels star to start tonight P H O E N I X ( AP ) — Pitching again has become the dominant force in baseball over the past couple of years, the hitters not standing much of a chance against all those arms.

With so many good pitchers out there, the managers for today’s All-Star game almost couldn’t go wrong.

They certainly won’t get many complaints for choosing Philadelphia Phillies ace of aces Roy Halladay and Los Angeles Angels star Jered Weaver.

In an All-Star game missing some of its luster, these two reluctant, go-about-theirbusiness studs seem like a perfect fit.

“When you talk about the great pitchers in our game today, the elite pitchers, or a pitcher that you would want to start in a game that you would have to win, Roy’s name is always at the top of the list with just the incredible career that he’s had,” said San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy, skipper of the NL team. “He’s doing it again this year. This was really an easy one for me that he would start this game.”

Picking Weaver wasn’t exactly a tough decision for AL manager Ron Washington.

The lanky right-hander is having a superb season with an 11-4 record and a majorsbest 1.86 ERA, but also had some of his competition for the starting nod get knocked out of the picture.

Major League Baseball doesn’t allow pitchers who started on Sunday to participate in the Midsummer Clas-

sic, which meant Detroit’s Justin Verlander, Seattle’s Felix Hernandez, Tampa Bay’s James Shields and the Yankees’ CC Sabathia were ineligible.

Still, the numbers Weaver has put up would have made him a strong candidate regardless of who the competition was.

The 29-year-old was an AllStar last season and has been even better this year, posting the lowest ERA ever by an Angels starter before the break.

Weaver has lasted at least seven innings during a ninegame stretch without a loss while winning five straight and has thrown four of his eight career complete games this season to become the first Angels pitcher to start an AllStar game since Mark Langston in 1993.

“I’ve never competed against a more competitive pitcher and a pitcher that will do anything it takes to make sure that he keeps his team in the ballgame,” AL and Texas Rangers manager Ron Washington said.

Weaver is making his second appearance, but Halladay, one of the best pitchers of a generation, has made a habit of playing in the Midsummer Classic.

A two-time Cy Young Award winner, Halladay has made the All-Star team eight of the past nine years and will join Vida Blue, Roger Clemens and Randy Johnson as the only pitchers to start the game for both leagues after doing it with Toronto in 2009.

As players got ready to gather on the air-conditioned diamond under the Chase Field roof, most of them declined to discuss the law. Enacted last year, it requires immigrants to obtain or carry registration papers and calls for police, while enforcing other laws, to question people’s immigration status if there is a reasonable suspicion they’re in the country illegally.

Major provisions were blocked last July by U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton, a decision upheld in April in a 2-1 vote by the 9th U.S. Circuit court of Appeals. Gov. Jan Brewer intends to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn the injunction.

Boston slugger David Ortiz was one of the few players willing to talk about the law.

“I’m an immigrant. I definitely would never agree with any treating of immigrants bad — the wrong way,” said Ortiz, who is from the Dominican Republic.

Still, he won’t get involved with protests.

“I’m not here for that,” Ortiz said.

Ortiz captained the AL team in Monday night’s Home Run Derby. Sharon Robinson, daughter of the late Jackie Robinson, was on the field before the event for a “Breaking Barriers” presentation.

More typical during player availabilities at the cactus-filled Arizona Biltmore grounds was the response from New York Mets outfielder Carlos Beltran, who will be the National League’s designated hitter.

“It’s something that doesn’t have to do anything with sport,” he said. “It’s something that affects a certain part of the population.”

ers were thrown gold balls when they had one out left.

“It just came right at me, and I reached up and grabbed, I played a little trick like I didn’t have it,” he said, making a tucking motion, “then went, oh, here it is. It’s pretty cool.”

Gonzalez and Cano were the most impressive hitters, and they eliminated defending champ David Ortiz of the Red Sox and Milwaukee’s Fielder (nine apiece) in the second round. St. Louis’ Holliday (five), Toronto’s Jose Bautista (four), Milwaukee’s Rickie Weeks (three) and the Dodgers’ Matt Kemp (two) didn’t get past the opening round.

Somos America, a Phoenixbased Hispanic civil rights group, asked fans, players and coaches to wear a white ribbon showing solidarity against the law.

“Baseball was on the cutting edge of changing the culture with the admission of Jackie Robinson to the game.

It changed the American culture in fundamental ways beyond the baseball field,” Jackson said. “Some players or some players’ families could be disadvantaged or apprehended by that law in Arizona, so it’s very risky. I would hope now that they are there, they would at least speak out clearly that that law is in conflict with national law on immigration. States don’t set immigration policy.

“Baseball players cannot negotiate away their dignity.

I’m glad Jackie Robinson spoke up for dignity beyond the baseball field, and I’d glad Ortiz has spoken up for dignity.”

Sixteen players picked as All-Stars dropped out: four are on the disabled list, Alex Rodriguez had knee surgery Monday, and Ryan Braun and Placido Polanco missed a half-dozen games or more heading into the break. Six pitchers were knocked off the rosters because they started for their clubs Sunday, and Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera and David Price said their bodies needed the rest following minor injuries.

“I think it’s too bad that Jeter in particular is not here, because of what he accomplished over the weekend,” said Philadelphia Phillies chairman Bill Giles, referring to Jeter’s 3,000th hit Saturday.

“I think it is a bit of a problem and baseball should study it.”

While the temperature outside Chase Field has been as high as 118 this month, an 8,000-ton cooling system keeps it in the 70s inside the ballpark.

Fan has close call with fall P H O E N I X ( A P ) — Keith Carmickle and his friends had already caught three balls during Major League Baseball’s Home Run Derby Monday night and wanted more.

He nearly got a lot more: a headfirst fall to a pool deck about 20 feet below.

Chasing a home run hit by Milwaukee’s Prince Fielder, Carmickle was saved from a long fall when his brother and a friend grabbed him around the legs and arms, then pulled him back as he dangled above the deck area behind the pool in right field at Chase Field.

His near miss came the same day as the memorial service for Shannon Stone, a 39-year-old fan who died last Thursday while trying to catch a ball thrown into the stands at a Texas Rangers home game.

“I thought: I’ve lived a good life,” Carmickle said about dangling.

Seated in a small section of seats above the right-field fence, Carmickle, of Kingman, and his group had already grabbed home-run balls by Robinson Cano and Adrian Gonzalez and were looking to add another to their collection when Fielder came up in the second round of the derby.

Trying to snare a towering shot by Fielder, Carmickle stepped up onto a metal table about 18 inches wide and reached down to catch the ball. It hit a wall several feet below Carmickle. His momentum carried him forward, headfirst over a short railing at the back of the table.

Carmickle was headed for a hard landing when his friend, Aaron Nelson, grabbed his legs and his brother, Kraig, grabbed him around the arms.

Carmickle dangled briefly over a deck where a couple of cameras were positioned behind Chase Field’s pool before being pulled back up to his seat as the crowd above and below gasped.

“He tried to catch it, I grabbed his legs, and his brother grabbed his arms,” said Nelson, who, along with Kraig Carmickle, is from Chandler. “So when he went over the ledge, we pulled him back. He wasn’t going down, I was holding on.”

The Carmickles and Nelson gathered themselves after the near fall and let out a few shouts before breaking into high-fives. They relived the moment with a few of the fans around them, then again as they looked at photos taken by an Arizona Republic photographer, who had shots from behind of Carmickle on the table, then falling.

The trio spoke with security personnel a few minutes later and were allowed to remain in the game.

“I stepped up on the table, I missed the ball by two or three feet and went over,” he said. “We caught three balls and I told the guys I was going to go for the cycle.

Dude, they were really holding onto me.”

Jeter among big-name no-shows P H O E N I X ( A P ) — Much is being made of the big names absent from this year’s AllStar game, yet some who are hurt came anyway to show their support.

Take Jose Reyes of the New York Mets, who says he has been hurt three of the four times he has made the All-Star team, but has come to the game each time. Or Philadelphia’s Shane Victorino. He withdrew because of injury but felt a special obligation to show up because he was the final player chosen for the NL team out five in an online vote by fans.

Several other All-Star selections who won’t play made the trip, some of them injured, some ineligible because they pitched Sunday.

But some of the biggest

names are no-shows, most notably Derek Jeter of the New York Yankees, who has had a calf injury but was well enough to go 5-for-5 and get his 3,000th hit with a dramatic home run on Saturday. Jeter decided not to make the cross-country trip to the desert.

“I think it’s too bad that Jeter in particular is not here, because of what he a cco m p l i s h e d ove r t h e we e ke n d ,” P h i l a d e l p h i a Phillies chairman Bill Giles, the honorary NL president, said at a Monday news conference, “and I think it is a bit of a problem and baseball should study it.”

Boston’s David Ortiz said people should cut Jeter some slack.

“He always said yes to the

All-Star game,” the Boston slugger said of his Yankees rival. “I think he has the right to, whenever he needs a break you know, to pull himself together, especially coming off an injury. I think people need to respect that.”

The Yankees’ Mariano Rivera also skipped the game because of a triceps injury.

But Reyes, from that other New York team, didn’t let a hamstring injury prevent him from coming to Arizona to at least witness the festivities.

“Every time I’ve had the opportunity to come here I’m going to come, no matter what happens,” Reyes said. “Like I said, three of the last four years in the All-Star game I’ve been injured, but I still come here.”
