RONAN ENOS, 9, LAWRENCE, puts on bug spray at the Prairie Park Nature Center on Monday before heading out into the fields for an activity. This week’s camp is Creature Quest, where participants learn to collect and identify insects — while also trying to prevent them from biting.

Experts offer tips for coping with misery inflicted by tiny pests two days. If bitten, use creams with antihistamines and Calamine lotion.

Summer is synonymous with hot weather, snow cones, swimming — and bugs.

Yep, those creepy, crawly insects enjoy the outdoors this time of year as much as we do.

Just ask those who work at Prairie Park Nature Center in east Lawrence. They have a love-hate relationship with bugs.

“Most of the time we talk about how wonderful the bugs are,” Rachel Kilian, a camp counselor, said. “But, at the same time, we spray the kids down with bug spray every day.”

She said chiggers have been particularly bad.

“All of us are covered,” she said.

“It’s been intense.”

Other common pests this time of year are mosquitoes, ticks and spiders, said Holly Davis, an insect diagnostician with Kansas State University.

“This is pretty much what I’ve been seeing that’s causing misery for humans,” Davis said.

Here are some tips about these

summer pests from Davis and other health sources:

Chiggers These microscopic creatures thrive in hot, humid conditions.

They lurk in grasses — any time of day — just waiting to feed on skin. They don’t fly or drop out of trees; they are climbers.

Chiggers will feed for about one day and then drop off. They are not dangerous and do not transmit diseases. But they can leave a nasty bite and it’s usually in dark, sweaty areas where it’s inappropriate to scratch publicly. ● Prevention: Use a DEET-based repellent, avoid lying in grassy areas, keep the lawn mowed, and use a lawn spray if needed. Once inside, wash with hot, soapy water. ● Treatment: Symptoms typically begin in one to three hours, but are usually most intense within one to

Mosquitoes They often feed at dawn and dusk and thrive in standing water. They can spread diseases, with West Nile virus being the most common in Kansas; however, less than 1 percent of the population carries it.

They will leave a bite anywhere on the body, often where the skin is exposed. ● Prevention: Use a DEETbased repellent, avoid being outside in the early morning or late evenings. Eliminate standing water.

Buckets, bird baths, or even toys can serve as breeding areas. ● Treatment: Mosquito-bite symptoms typically occur hours or days later. Redness and itching on and around bites is common. If bitten, use creams with antihistamines and Calamine lotion.

Douglas County off icials today will hear from local agencies on how much it will cost them if the Lawrence office of the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services is shut down.

Gov. Sam Brownback and SRS Secretary Robert Siedlecki Jr. have said the Lawrence Weinaug off ice and eight others must be closed as a cost-cutting move.

Siedlecki has said eliminating the Lawrence office — the Doll largest of the planned closures — will save the state $413,000; most of that is in rent that the state pays.

Panel may study ways to make city attractive to retirees

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

A little gray may be golden for Lawrence.

At least that’s what community leaders want to find out. City commissioners at their Tuesday meeting will consider creating a task force to help Lawrence become a destination for retirees looking for new homes.

“I tell you, Booth there isn’t a business in this country growing faster than Baby Boomers Inc.,” said Hank Booth, who is leading the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce’s Senior Council.

The council is recommending the creation of a joint city-county Senior-Retiree Attraction Task Force. The idea has some support on the City Commission.

for the Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center, said that without the SRS office in Lawrence it will be extremely difficult to help people with severe mental illnesses or the homeless to access food stamps, general assistance or vocational-rehabilitation.

Brownback and Siedlecki have said people will be able to obtain services by traveling to SRS offices in Topeka, Ottawa or Overland Park.

They can also use the Internet or telephone, they have said.

But Smith said that is not going to work out.

“My fear is that people will not be able to get to outlying offices. Their transportation system is fragile at best,” she said. “I’m worried that people will give up.”

She said Bert Nash will do what it can to fill the gap, but state funding to mental health centers has been cut drastically in the past several years.

In addition, Lawrence school board members said they were concerned that the lack of a local SRS office would decrease the response time in child abuse cases and increase the process time for accessing medical care.

“There already are proximity issues involving the SRS Family Preservation program,” the school board said in a letter to Brownback.

City Commissioner Hugh Carter, who has been working with the chamber on the topic. “They would bring a lot of experience and wisdom to the community, and they could be a big help to philanthropy.”

Plus, a new report put together by the chamber says attracting retirees could be a significant form of economic development. The report cites a state of Georgia study that found when a retired couple moves into a community it has the same impact on the economy as 3.8 manufacturing jobs. The chamber’s report also cites national statistics that say people 50 years old or older own: ● 77 percent of the country’s personal f inancial assets. ● 80 percent of all savings deposits. ● 50 percent of all corporate stocks.

And they make 48 percent

Lawrence Superintendent Rick Doll told school board members, “Without people here locally, we believe we will see a significant deterioration of services for the community.”

Douglas County commissioners have invited local agencies, such as nonprofits and law enforcement, to testify today on what the SRS closure would do to their operations. That meeting begins at 9 a.m. at the county courthouse, 11th and Massachusetts streets.

“Since so little is known about the actual cost of this closure, we wanted to spend some time hearing from the agencies and what their thoughts are on what the costs will be to try to fill in the gaps,” said Commissioner Nancy Thellman.

During public meetings last week, attended by more than 1,000 people, there had been talk among some in the community that perhaps local governmental entities could take over from the state the rental cost to keep open the SRS office.

Thellman said local officials need more information about the impact of closing the SRS office.

“Before we can talk about possible solutions, we feel

of all domestic automobile purchases.

The report, however, does note some potential drawbacks to creating a larger base of retirees. Concerns about whether retirees would vote for additional school bond issues and the potential for health care services to be strained by individuals who have outlived their health care coverage are two of the larger concerns.

But Booth said a task force would look for ways to target affluent retirees who would produce more benefits than costs to a community.

The task force also would study ways to market the community — targeting Kansas University alumni would be a major strategy — and would look at how other cities across the country have grown their retiree population.

“What I really would want the task force to do is get all of this information tied together so we have a plan for making Lawrence and Douglas County the most attractive retirement community in the Kansas City metro area or in the state of

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -WORLD like we need real information,” she said.

“It’s likely that the state’s effort to make their budget better may very well make our budget much worse,” she said.

County Administrator Craig Weinaug said, “We need to assess what the cost impacts are on the local entities.

“It would seem to be a relevant consideration for the state to consider as a part of their closing decision. Hopefully that information will be helpful as they hopefully evaluate whether this would be a good decision for the Kansas taxpayer,” he said.

Since July 1, when Siedlecki announced the Lawrence closure, local officials have been working on ways to try to reverse the decision.

On Monday, city and county officials asked Brownback to reconsider the planned closure.

In a letter, written on behalf of the Lawrence City Commission and Douglas County commissioners, officials say that many will lose SRS services and alreadystrained agencies will be further strained.

“We write specifically to request complete reconsideration of the closure,” says the letter signed by Lawrence Mayor Aron Cromwell and Jim Flory, chairman of the Douglas County Commission.

“It is imperative that the Department not only maintain services in our community, but that those services be provided by keeping the existing office intact rather than simply providing a presence in Lawrence, or expecting our residents to travel to other SRS regional offices to obtain services,” the letter said.

Brownback’s office said the governor would review the letter and respond to the officials.

Kansas,” Booth said.

Carter, who previously managed an assisted living facility in California, also said the task force will have to look at what areas Lawrence is lacking when it comes to retirees. He said more housing types that are suitable for retirees probably would be a significant issue.

Funding at some point also may become an issue. Booth said ultimately money to market the program could be needed, but neither Carter or Booth said any immediate funding was required to study the issue. When money is needed, Carter said he has seen other communities successfully raise private money to fund marketing efforts.

“There certainly are groups that would benefit from having more retirees here and probably would jump at the opportunity to be on the front end of that effort,” Carter said.

City commissioners meet at 6:35 p.m. today at City Hall.

Bugs CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

they are prone to carry four diseases: Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Ehrlichiosis and Tularemia.

The most common in Kansas is the brown dog tick, which is known to transmit Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Symptoms occur within two weeks of the bite and include a high fever lasting for about two to three weeks, severe headaches, vomiting, fatigue, muscle pain and chills.

The Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department has investigated six cases of tick-related illnesses in May and June, including one for Rocky Mountain spotted fever. ● Prevention: Use a DEETbased repellent and wear long pants tucked into socks and long-sleeve shirt if in a wooded area. Once inside, do a tick check.

● Treatment: Use tweezers

to grasp the tick near its head or mouth and pull gently to remove the whole tick without crushing it. Put tick in a vial of alcohol in case you develop a reaction to the bite.

Once the tick has been removed, wash the skin, surrounding areas and your hands with soap and water.

Watch for symptoms of diseases in the weeks following a tick bite. Symptoms include muscle or joint aches, stiff neck, headache, weakness, fever, swollen lymph nodes and other flu-like symptoms.

Watch for a red spot or rash starting at the location of the bite.

Spiders There are two spiders in Kansas that are considered poisonous to humans: black widow and brown recluse. It is rare to run into a black widow, but the brown recluse is fairly common in homes.

They live in homes throughout the year but are more active in the summer.

They tend to hide in clothing and shoes and will defend themselves by biting. If bitten by a spider, there will be two puncture wounds from the fangs versus one from a chigger or mosquito. ● Prevention: Set out sticky traps in places where the spiders might be traveling, like along the walls behind the bed or couch. ● Treatment: Wash the bite with soap and water, apply a cool compress. If necessary, take over-the-counter medication to control pain or itching. Monitor the bite for redness, swelling, pain or signs of infections.

Afghan war under new command Gen. David Petraeus handed over command of the Afghan war to Marine Gen. John Allen on Monday as the U.S. and its international partners prepare to withdraw over the next few years.

Petraeus, widely credited with turning the tide in Iraq, left to take over the CIA with his signature counterinsurgency strategy having yet to deliver a safer Afghanistan or push the Taliban to reconcile with the country’s Western-backed government.

Allen is known for helping turn Sunni insurgents against al-Qaida in Iraq in one of that war’s most pivotal stages. In Afghanistan, he will be tasked with the overseeing the start of the American troop withdrawal this month even as insurgents step up the violence and attacks on high-profile Afghans, including the assassination last week of President Hamid Karzai’s powerful half brother and the slaying of a close Karzai aid on Sunday.

30 dead after killing spree in Syria The discovery of three corpses with their eyes gouged out set off a sectarian killing spree that left 30 people dead in a chilling sign that the Syrian revolt against President Bashar Assad is enflaming long-simmering religious tensions.

The opposition accused the president’s minority Alawite regime of trying to stir up trouble among the Sunni majority to blunt the growing enthusiasm for the four-month-old uprising. The protesters have been careful to portray their movement as free of any sectarian overtones.

The killings over the weekend in the central city of Homs “undermine the peaceful nature of the revolution and serve its enemies who want to turn it into a civil war,” said Rami Abdul-Rahman, the director of the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

City to review new design plan

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

A new design for a proposed Dillons store on south Massachusetts Street soon will get its day at Lawrence City Hall.

City commissioners at their July 26 meeting are scheduled to consider new renderings for a 43,000-square-foot Dillons that will replace the aging grocery located on the site.

The new design has added windows and a beige color scheme to the southwest corner of the building. Previously, city commissioners had commented that earlier designs didn’t include enough architectural details to fit Lawrence’s expectations for commercial property. The height of a screening wall that is part of the store’s pharmacy drive-thru lane also was increased slightly in the new design.

The new set of renderings gives the most

detailed view yet of how the store will alter the streetscape of Massachusetts between 17th and 19th streets. Previously, the City Commission approved variances that allow the store to be built closer to both Massachusetts and New Hampshire streets.

“That stretch of street will be much more a part of the downtown fabric,” said Scott McCullough, the city’s planning director. “It will replace some saw-tooth, angled parking with a wide sidewalk, awnings, a seating area. It is going to be a completely different feel on that stretch of Massachusetts Street.”

If commissioners approve the site plan next week, the project will be cleared to receive a building permit from the city.

Previously, Dillons officials have said it will take nine to 12 months to build the new store.

— City reporter Chad Lawhorn can be reached at 832-6362.

CITY COMMISSIONERS NEXT WEEK WILL GET ANOTHER LOOK AT DESIGNS for a proposed Dillons grocery store at 1740 Mass. The new store, shown above, will be much closer to Massachusetts Street. Not shown in the rendering above, which is a view looking northeast, are changes that will add more architectural details, such as a different color scheme and windows to the store’s southwest corner.

Benedict, 85, knows life can sometimes be hard for senior citizens.

A Douglas County judge Monday sentenced a 21-year-old Lawrence man to serve more than five years in prison for injuring a Lawrence police officer in a February incident.

District Judge Kay Huff ordered the sentence for Louis G. Galloway Jr. in front of a packed courtroom full of about 30 Lawrence police officers and detectives.

“The court will sentence Mr. Galloway to the aggravated sentence of 69 months in light of the permanent injury to Officer (Jonathon) Evinger,” Huff COURTS said.

A jury in May convicted Galloway of punching and injuring Evinger in a Feb. 26 confrontation near 26th and Iowa streets. According to testimony at the two-day trial, Evinger and another officer, Stephen Ramsdell, were trying to arrest Galloway for driving on a suspended license. Galloway disputed that he was driving.

Evinger said in court that he has internal eye injuries that will never allow him to patrol again at night.

Huge dust storm rolls through Phoenix A giant wall of dust rolled through the Phoenix area Monday, turning the sky brown, creating dangerous driving conditions and delaying some airline flights.

The dust, also known as a haboob in Arabic and around Arizona, formed in Pinal County and headed northeast, reaching Phoenix at about 5:30 p.m.

The dust wall was about 3,000 feet high and created winds of 25 to 30 mph, with gusts of up to 40 mph, said Austin Jamison, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. Visibility was down to less than a quarter-mile in some areas, he said.

Study: Brain injury raises dementia risk A large study in older veterans raises fresh concern about mild brain injuries that hundreds of thousands of troops have suffered from explosions in recent wars. Even concussions seem to raise the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease or other dementia later in life, researchers found.

Closed-head, traumatic brain injuries are a legacy of the Afghanistan and Iraq wars. Body armor is helping troops survive bomb blasts, but the longterm effects of their head injuries are unknown.

LAWRENCE RESIDENT CHUCK BENEDICT, 85, STACKS LOAVES OF DONATED BREAD along a table at the Douglas County Senior Center on Wednesday. Benedict says he’s been delivering the bread for about four years, picking up donations from the Clinton Parkway Hy-Vee store and from Checkers to distribute to local seniors.

Bread delivery helps senior citizens with ‘the little things’

By Dustin Porter dporter@ljworld.com

Chuck Benedict was sitting in church one Sunday morning four years ago when the pastor was preaching about Jesus and Simon Peter.

The pastor was telling the story of how Jesus instructed Peter to feed his sheep and tend his lambs to prove his love and devotion. As he was listen-

ing, Benedict got an inspiration.

“I knew I could do more,” said Benedict, a part-time employee at Hy-Vee. He approached his employer with an idea.

“They agreed when I told them about the cause,” he said.

The cause was to better serve the Douglas County Senior Center in downtown Lawrence, delivering them

KU researcher says preventive care can shrink Medicaid price tag

By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

Better access to preventive health services and screenings for people with disabilities could shrink the $2.8 billion price tag of the state’s Medicaid program, according to a Kansas University researcher.

That’s because those services could prevent more costly chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, asthma and stroke.

Amanda Reichard has been analyzing Medicaid claims data for about 12 years. She started as a policy analyst for Medicaid, and now she works at KU’s Research and Training Center on Measurement and Interdependence in Community Living.

“For too long, we have associated poor health with disability and those words are not synonymous,” she said. “We know that people

with disabilities experience chronic conditions as a health disparity — different from the general population. So, they are experiencing chronic conditions at higher rates than other segments of the population.”

AMANDA REICHARD STUDIES the state’s Medicaid claims data as part of her research at Kansas University’s Research and Training Center on Measurement and Interdependence in Community Living.

Reichard said this is occurring for several reasons: ● There are facility and structural barriers. ● Health professionals lack training in providing care for people with disabilities.

An example would be the hurdles a woman with a physical disability might encounter in getting a mammogram. The equipment may not adjust for someone who needs to sit or the technician may not know how to adjust the equipment. Also, doorways to a dressing room or machine may not be large enough for a wheelchair.

“Understanding the unique needs of people with disabilities is really important,” Reichard said.

She has found a lot of hospitalizations that could have been prevented by getting a vaccine. She said Medicaid covers the immunizations but people with disabilities are not getting them, likely because the shots aren’t accessible.

SHRINE BOWL, HAYS, KS 7/30/11

● Medicaid doesn’t cover preventive services such as diabetes education, a fitness expert or a dietitian’s services. Reichard said the long-term savings could far outweigh any upfront costs.

She found that more than 70 percent of Medicaid recipients with physical disabilities are overweight and at a high risk for diabetes.

“I think addressing obesity is a big issue because so many chronic conditions are related to obesity,” she said.

Reichard talked about a pilot project at KU that has so far proven to be successful. She said a woman with physical disabilities has lost 40 pounds thanks to a dietitian who meets with the woman monthly. As a result of the weight loss, she can now reposition herself in bed, which means she doesn’t have to

SOUND OFF

Q:

Judge denies plea withdrawal in 2006 shooting death

I’ve been reading about property tax mill levies in the news recently. How does the mill By George Diepenbrock levy figure into my tax bill? gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

A:

A mill is $1 in tax for every $1 ,000 in assessed valuation.

Assessed valuation is different than the fair market value of your home. On residential property, the assessed value is 11.5 percent of your fair market — or appraised — value.

So here’s how you would figure your taxes on a home that has a fair market value of $200,000 and is being charged a property tax rate of 100 mills: $200,000 multiplied by 11.5 percent = $23,000. That’s your assessed value. $23,000 multiplied by 100 mills = 2,300,000. Divide 2,300,000 by 1,000 because a mill is $1 in property tax for every $1,000 in assessed valuation. That equals $2,300. That’s your property tax bill for the entire year.

Asked on Massachusetts Street

Judson White, remodeling contractor, Lawrence “I don’t have any. I don’t have a computer.”

A judge Monday rejected a request by Major Edwards Jr. to withdraw his 2010 guilty plea in connection with the 2006 shooting death of Lawrence hip-hop artist Anthony Vital.

Edwards, 32, was the state’s key witness in the trial of codefendant Durrell Jones earlier this year, but he had claimed he was misled into entering the earlier plea and alleged he was promised a seven- to eight-year sentence but instead was facing 18 years.

“None of that is supported by anything other than his own testimony, in my opinion,” Judge Philip Sieve said.

Sieve, a former Wyandotte County chief judge specially appointed to hear the motion, made his ruling after a nearly four-hour hearing.

Joel Ruiz, sales, Dallas, Texas “Double rainbows.”

Spencer SpottedHorse, facilities operations, Lawrence “Oldies music ... stuff from the ’50s and ’60s.”

The outcome also puts in doubt whether Edwards will testify at Jones’ new trial in COURTS August. The first trial ended in a hung jury.

“I think Major feels that the state did not treat him fairly during his plea, and I think at this point in time he’s not wanting to testify,” defense attorney Napoleon Crews said after Monday’s hearing.

In Jones’ f irst trial, Edwards testified he saw Jones, 24, of Kansas City, Kan., shoot Vital in a rural driveway west of Lawrence.

Edwards said Jones wanted to collect on a drug debt. He expressed remorse for leading Jones to Vital but said he didn’t shoot Vital.

In asking to withdraw the plea, Edwards claimed he was not aware his voluntary manslaughter plea meant he was admitting to intentionally killing Vital.

“I do know for a fact that I explained the elements of the charge to him,” Edwards’ former attorney Kay Huff, who is now a Douglas County judge, testified Monday.

Edwards also alleged he decided to enter the plea at the mention of a reduced sentence, and he said he was surprised at a March 18, 2010, plea hearing when he heard he faced 18 years in prison.

“They put the seven- to eight-year plea in my head, and that’s what made it,” Edwards said.

But Huff testified she had already told Edwards that a sentence that short was “not in the cards.” She said at the time of his plea that attorneys

for both sides informed Chief District Judge Robert Fairchild that they could ask him during sentencing to consider a reduced sentence based on whether Edwards cooperated in Jones’ case.

Huff said at the time that she was not sure if Edwards would cooperate.

The two sides later agreed to ask for four years off Edwards sentence in exchange for his testimony against Jones.

“I had positioned his plea as best I could get it,” Huff said. “It was his choice to take it or leave it.”

Edwards during crossexamination from prosecutors alleged Chief Assistant District Attorney Amy McGowan had coached him about how to mention a deal on his sentence during the Jones trial.

But McGowan testified that they had to bring up the

four-year reduction in the trial and that she had gone over with Edwards the questions she would ask.

“Did you tell him what answers he should give?”

Assistant District Attorney James McCabria asked.

“No, I don’t do that,” McGowan replied.

During cross-examination, McCabria also asked Edwards why he didn’t seek to withdraw his guilty plea until after Jones’ first trial ended in a hung jury.

“It was about the fact that I felt like I was bamboozled by the state,” said Edwards, who testif ied he was “under duress” to help prosecutors during the trial.

A sentencing for Edwards has not yet been scheduled.

Library program offers tips on how to be more energy efficient

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

On the shelves of the Lawrence Public Library are do-it-yourself energy conservation guides, commentaries from nearly every angle on energy policies and politics, and more than a dozen books on the life of Thomas Edison.

But in the next few weeks, the library hopes to connect the community to more than just books about energy. As part of the Take Charge Challenge, the library is offering a six-week series centered on energy efficiency.

The Take Charge Challenge is a statewide program that is pitting the residents of Lawrence against those of Manhattan to see which city can conserve the most energy. The competition, which gives the winner $100,000 to spend on an energy-eff iciency or renewable-energy project, ends in late September.

With 1,000 free compact fluorescent light bulbs to hand out and programs

designed to appeal to a demographic as diverse as the one that visits it, the library’s program is focused on keeping Lawrence ahead in the Take Charge Challenge.

“It’s for families, artists, handymen, book lovers, scientists and taxpayers,” adult programs librarian Rachel Smalter Hall said of the upcoming program.

Energy conservation and libraries might not seem a like a natural fit, but Hall said the library is looking at ways of providing more than “book literacy.”

“We have opportunities ... for getting involved in community projects that go beyond the traditional fiction book club,” Hall said.

Here’s a list of the library’s six Take Charge Challenge events, all of which will take place at the library:

Take Charge Challenge Celebration Starting at 7 p.m. Aug. 9, the library will host a Take Charge Challenge Celebration. The festivities will include an update on how Lawrence is faring in the competition.

Westar Energy representatives and mascot Wattson will be there to talk about their energy-saving programs and fleet of electric vehicles.

An Appetite for Energy A series of photographs intended to make the viewer question ways we use and consume energy will be on display at the library as part of downtown’s Final Fridays event on Aug. 26. The event starts at 5 p.m. and features the work of Ryan Waggoner, the collections photographer at the Spencer Museum and a recent Kansas University graduate.

DIY Home Energy Audit Workshop Westar is offering a twohour workshop on ways to make simple energy efficiency upgrades to homes.

Among the topics covered are

air leaks, heating and cooling equipment, water heaters, lighting and appliances. Participants get hands-on training for weather stripping, caulking and using spray foam to seal gaps. The class begins at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 1.

The End of Oil and a Way to a Better World Chris Brown, director of KU’s environmental studies program, will talk about the threat of running out of cheap oil, a concept known as peak oil, and the opportunities such a global shift would provide. Brown’s lecture is based on Richard Heinberg’s book “The Party’s Over: Oil, War and the Fate of Industrial Societies.” The presentation is at 7 p.m. Sept. 6.

talk about the need to find alternative sources for fuels and chemicals as crude oil supplies become increasingly depleted. The center is researching ways to develop cleaner and safer manufacturing processes. The presentation will be at 7 p.m. Sept. 15.

Library Energy and Renovation Update Representatives from Gould Evans Architects will discuss sustainable design features in the library’s $18 million renovation project. The town hallstyle meeting will be opened up for questions after the architect’s presentation. The final event is at 7 p.m. Sept. 22.

BRIEFLY Man sentenced to probation for burglary

Camille Nolan, store merchandiser, Lawrence “Classic Charlie bit my finger.”

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -WORLD

A Douglas County judge Monday sentenced a 21-yearold man to serve two years on probation for his role in a Dec. 3 burglary at a Louisiana Street apartment.

Peterson had pleaded nocontest to one count of attempted aggravated burglary in June. Prosecutors accused him of taking part in a foiled burglary with three other people in December in the 1100 block of Louisiana Street.

Lawrence police interrupted the attempt, and Peterson, Michael Hammond, 21, and two woman, Shelby Sprauer, 21, and Kayla Kling, 20, were arrested.

Sprauer has an August trial scheduled on charges of conspiracy to commit burglary and aggravated burglary. Kling and Hammond had already entered pleas in connection with the case.

HOSPITAL BIRTHS Brittney Hale, Lawrence, a boy, Monday.

District Judge Kay Huff on Monday ordered Peterson to serve one year in prison if he is found to violate his probation terms. She also ordered him to abstain from using drugs and alcohol, and he must complete 50 hours of community service. The judge said that if he’s successful he could apply to shorten his probation term.

Peterson’s defense attorney Carl Folsom said Peterson spent last semester at an Illinois community college but he hopes to return to Kansas University.

According to a Kansas Highway Patrol report, Clinton C. Marker Jr. was headed west on his 2010 Honda motorcycle and attempted to pass the semitrailer in a no-passing zone and struck the truck’s trailer. Thomas M. Clark, 28, of Lecompton, was the truck’s driver and was not injured.

Marker was taken by ambulance to Stormont-Vail Regional Health Center in Topeka. The accident occurred at 7:10 a.m. about one mile east of the Shawnee County line.

Later Monday, John Robert Sinclair, 47, was headed west on his 1994 Yamaha motorcycle at 12:30 p.m. when he lost control, and the motorcycle came to rest in the west ditch of the highway, according to the Kansas Highway Patrol.

The accident occurred about six miles west of Lawrence.

Sinclair was not wearing a helmet and was taken to Stormont-Vail Regional Health Center in Topeka.

ni and others contributed during the last fiscal year.

The previous record was $99.5 million in fiscal 2008.

Of the $107 million, $67 million was in cash, real estate or appreciated securities. The other $40 million was pledges and deferred gifts, which the university will receive at a later date.

Also, the woman is not having as severe of leg cramps as before, and she’s getting out in the community more.

“So, it’s not only affecting her quality of life, but it’s also affecting her health overall and keeping her out of the hospital setting and potentially a nursing home setting,” Reichard said.

She shared her thoughts with the Kansas Department of Environment and Health, which administers the Medicaid program.

“We don’t really want this

research to rest in the ivory tower,” she said. “We always seek to work with our partners at the Kansas Department of Health and Environment to make sure we translate our research into something that makes a real difference in the lives of people with disabilities.”

State leaders are looking to cut at least $200 million from the Medicaid program by July 1, 2012, for fiscal 2013, said Barbara Hersh, public information officer for KDHE. The state pays about $1.1 billion of the $2.8 billion price tag. They also want to enhance care for the 324,000 beneficiaries, which includes children, pregnant women and people with disabilities.

There are 8,104 Medicaid recipients in Douglas County.

“Most of them are on Social Security and are really poor, and don’t have extra cash to afford the little things,” said Benedict, who years ago operated a gas station along Route 66.

People are happy for the gesture.

“It’s good and cheap,” said Paul Penny, who visits the center daily to pick up a loaf of bread. “It’s nice to have and it’s good for everybody.”

Sometimes the seniors cannot get enough of the “good” bread and take a little more than maybe they can eat.

“I came in one day and this lady had her arms full with three boxes of bread, and she would’ve carried more if she had the room,” Benedict said.

Since then, the center has put a sign on the table where Benedict places the bread that asks people to take no more than two packages.

“It goes fast,” said Carol Johns, part-time receptionist at the center.

face interactions and drop off needed paperwork. To enroll in services, Partridge said an office visit has been required.

“That’s a whole new business process that’s going to have to be invented and institutionalized on a pretty quick order,” he said. “I’m curious to see how that will happen.”

Here are some of the reasons, he said, phone and online services are not feasible: ● Transportation. There are significant barriers to get to locations outside of Lawrence, including high gas prices, unreliable vehicles, and no public transportation that goes to Topeka or Ottawa. In Johnson County, the bus system doesn’t go to SRS offices. ● Phone issues. Many families run out of call minutes, and it’s difficult for elderly people with hearing impairments. ● Computers. Many families do not have computers and therefore the skills to navigate a complex system.

The library presents the problem of limited access, cost to print submitted applications and the ability to keep track of supporting documentation that needs to be sent. ● Time-sensitive paperwork. Some supporting documents are time sensitive in that SRS sends a letter requiring them within 10 days from

the date mailed. This could cause a delay or disruption in services such as food assistance.

Partridge said transporting clients to an office outside of Lawrence would be costly.

For example, the Healthy Families Douglas County program has a limited transportation budget that would allow for seven trips annually to the Topeka office. Currently, that is the number of times staff go to the local SRS office in one month. The department would need an additional $2,200 in funds annually to sustain the level of service.

The cost of helping clients interact in new ways with SRS in order to receive services will come at the cost of lower caseloads, Partridge said. It will take more time for case managers to conduct each home visit if they are assisting clients with phone calls and online applications.

Partridge said the health department’s focus is on influencing healthy behaviors — quitting smoking, exercising more, getting vaccinated — and delivering health care services. But, he said, people can’t begin to focus on changing behaviors if they are struggling to get basic needs like food and shelter.

“It’s going to exacerbate an already bad situation,” he said.

Poll: Obesity significant issue among boomers

By Lauran Neergaard Associated Press Writer

W A S H I N G T O N — Baby boomers say their biggest health fear is cancer. Given their waistlines, heart disease and diabetes should be atop that list, too.

Boomers are more obese than other generations, a new poll finds, setting them up for unhealthy senior years.

And for all the talk of “60 is the new 50” and active aging, even those who aren’t obese need to do more to stay fit, according to the Associated Press-LifeGoesStrong.com poll.

Most baby boomers say they get some aerobic exercise, the kind that revs up your heart rate, at least once a week. But most adults are supposed to get 2 1/2 hours a week of moderateintensity aerobic activity — things like a brisk walk, a dance class, pushing a lawn mower.

Only about a quarter of boomers polled report working up a sweat four or five times a week, what the average person needs to reach that goal.

Worse, 37 percent never do any of the strength training so crucial to fighting the muscle loss that comes with aging.

Walking is their most frequent form of exercise. The good news: Walk enough and the benefits add up.

“I have more energy, and my knees don’t hurt anymore,” says Maggie Sanders, 61, of Abbeville, S.C. She has lost 15 pounds by walking four miles, three times a week, over the past few months, and eating better.

More boomers need to heed that feel-good benefit.

Based on calculation of body

mass index from self-reported height and weight, roughly a third of the baby boomers polled are obese, compared with about a quarter of both older and younger responders. Only half of the obese boomers say they are are regularly exercising.

An additional 36 percent of boomers are overweight, though not obese.

The nation has been brac-

ing for a surge in Medicare costs as the 77 million baby boomers, the post-war generation born from 1946 to 1964, begin turning 65. Obesity — with its extra risk of heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and arthritis — will further fuel those bills.

“They’re going to be expensive if they don’t get their act together,” says Jeff Levi of the nonprofit Trust for America’s Health. He

points to a study that found Medicare pays 34 percent more on an obese senior than one who’s a healthy weight.

About 60 percent of boomers polled say they’re dieting to lose weight, and slightly more are eating more fruits and vegetables or cutting cholesterol and salt.

But it takes physical activity, not just dieting, to shed pounds. That’s especially important as people start to age and dieting alone could cost them precious muscle in addition to fat, says Jack Rejeski of Wake Forest University, a specialist in exercise and aging.

Whether you’re overweight or just the right size, physical activity can help stave off the mobility problems that too often sneak up on the sedentary as they age. Muscles gradually become flabbier until people can find themselves on the verge of disability and loss of independence, like a canoe that floats peacefully until it gets too near a waterfall to pull back, Rejeski says.

He led a study that found a modest weight loss plus walking 2 1/2 hours a week helped people 60 and older significantly improve their mobility. Even those who didn’t walk that much got some benefit. Try walking 10 minutes at a time two or three times a day, he suggests, and don’t wait to start.

“I don’t think there’s any question the earlier you get started, the better,” says Rejeski, who at 63 has given up running in favor of walking, and gets in 30 miles a week. “If you allow your mobility to decline, you pay for it in terms of the quality of your own life.”

Pledges of GOP candidates common in 2012 race

By Nancy Benac Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON — Republican presidential contenders may be feeling nostalgic for the days when a candidate could focus on just one pledge: the oath of office.

With pledges spreading like kudzu on the campaign trail, candidates this year are being asked — in some cases, pressured — to profess their fealty to a whole host of positions: supporting marriage, opposing taxes, reducing the deficit, fighting abortion and gay rights and more.

And these aren’t just bland statements of support for broad ideals.

There’s a 14-point “marriage vow,” a three-pronged “cut, cap and balance” declaration on the national debt, a four-point “pro-life leadership presidential pledge” and a deficit-reduction promise tied to the “Lean Six Sigma” method of reducing wasteful spending.

The pledges, many advanced by right-leaning interest groups, are roiling the race, boxing candidates in to positions that could hurt them in the general election,

and pushing contenders to make promises they might come to regret if ever seated in the Oval Office.

Some candidates welcome the pledges as an opportunity to strengthen their support among various voting blocs and to draw distinctions between themselves and their competition. But others are resisting pressure to adopt pledges that attempt to put words in their mouths.

Interest groups, for their part, use the pledges to get their names in the news, and to flex some muscle by threatening to withhold support unless candidates sign on — and stay true.

There are signs that some candidates have had enough.

“I don’t know why anybody puts up with it,” said Republican strategist Rich Galen.

“You just don’t know all the ramifications of everything that is put before you.”

It’s a sentiment that’s apparently shared by former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman.

He’s made a pledge not to pledge.

“I don’t sign pledges — other than the Pledge of Allegiance and a pledge to my

wife,” Huntsman said recently.

Rep. Michele Bachmann, who’s making a big play for the cau- Bachmann cus votes of social conservatives in leadoff Iowa, is at the other end of the spectrum. She’s taken a shine to pledges on marriage, abortion, taxes and other issues, and has laid into her competition for holding back at times. On Monday, she signed the “cut, cap and balance” pledge during a campaign stop in South Carolina.

It was a reversal for Bachmann, who had said she wouldn’t back it because it didn’t go far enough. The Minnesota lawmaker said she would include her own addendum to the pledge — repealing the sweeping health care law.

True economic reform depends on it, she said. “I have the resolve and titanium spine to do just that,” Bachmann said.

When former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney,

who’s less invested in Iowa, refused to adopt the Susan B. Anthony List’s anti-abortion pledge, Bachmann’s campaign called it a “distressing” move and said it raised questions about his “leadership and commitment to ending the practice of abortion.”

The pledge includes sweeping promises to advance only anti-abortion appointees for “relevant Cabinet and executive branch positions,” cut off federal dollars for hospitals and clinics that perform or finance abortions, and support a ban on abortions after the fetus reaches a certain stage in development, among other things.

Romney, who once supported abortion rights, opted to write his own, narrower “pro-life pledge,” saying the Susan B. Anthony List’s declaration could have unintended consequences.

“It’s one thing to end federal funding for an organization like Planned Parenthood,” he said in an op-ed explaining his decision. “It is entirely another to end all federal funding for thousands of hospitals across America.”

Officers charged with thefts during searches K A N S A S C I T Y , K AN . ( AP ) — Three Kansas City, Kan., police officers have pleaded not guilty to federal charges accusing them of stealing video games and money while serving search warrants, including one that was part of a federal sting operation.

Officers Jeffrey M. Bell, Darryl M. Forrest and Dustin Sillings were accused of stealing video game equipment during several searches at residents’ homes last year.

According to the indictment unsealed Monday, the men also were accused of stealing video game equipment, other electronic equipment and $640 in cash at a residence that had been set up as part of an FBI sting.

U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom said at a news conference before the men were arraigned Monday that he wanted the indictment to “send a larger message.” He said he believes there are other victims who have not been identified.

Grissom encouraged anyone who has been the subject of recent search warrants and who believe police stole from them to call authorities.

“Police officers are given tremendous power to fight crime and to keep us safe,” Grissom said. “It is absolutely vital that we assure they do not abuse that authority.”

Bell and Forrest were charged with conspiracy against rights, deprivation of rights and theft. Sillings was charged with conspiracy against rights and theft.

They each face up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine if convicted on

The officers, all members of the Police Department’s SCORE unit, which is equivalent to a SWAT team, entered not guilty pleas at their first court hearing in the case Monday. The men and their lawyers declined comment after the brief arraignment.

They’re scheduled to appear in court again on Sept.

2nd police official quits in scandal Obama threatens to veto

GOP plan to cut spending

By Jill Lawless and Cassandra Vinograd Associated Press Writers

LONDON — Scotland Yard’s assistant commissioner resigned Monday, a day after his boss also quit, and fresh investigations of possible police wrongdoing were launched in the phone hacking scandal that has spread from Rupert Murdoch’s media empire to the British prime minister’s office.

Prime Minister David Cameron called an emergency session of Parliament on the scandal and cut short his visit to Africa to try to contain the widening crisis.

Lawmakers today are to question Murdoch, his son James and Rebekah Brooks, the former chief executive of Murdoch’s U.K. newspaper arm.

In a further twist, a former News of the World reporter Sean Hoare, who helped blow the whistle on Hoare the scandal, was found dead Monday in his home, but it was not believed to be suspicious.

Murdoch shut down the News of the World tabloid after it was accused of hacking into the voice mail of celebrities, politicians, other journalists and even murder victims.

The crisis has roiled the upper ranks of Britain’s police, with Monday’s resignation of Assistant Commissioner John Yates — Scotland Yard’s top anti-terrorist officer — following that on Sunday of police chief Paul Stephenson over their links to Neil Wallis, an arrested former executive from Murdoch’s shuttered News of the World tabloid whom police had employed as a media consultant.

The government quickly announced an inquiry into police-media relations and possible corruption.

LONDON'S METROPOLITAN POLICE ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER JOHN YATES ANNOUNCES his resignation Monday during a press conference in London. Former London police deputy John Yates said he acted with complete integrity in Britain's phone hacking crisis. Yates was the second high-profile casualty from the Metropolitan Police to resign in the past 24 hours. He was the official who decided two years ago not to reopen police inquiries into phone hacking, saying he did not believe there was any new evidence. rally asking “who polices the police,” and announced an inquiry into “instances of undue influence, inappropriate contractual arrangements and other abuses of power in police relationships with the media and other parties.”

The Independent Police Complaints Commission also said it was looking into the claims, including one that Yates inappropriately helped get a job for Wallis’ daughter.

Wallis, former executive editor of News of the World, was arrested on suspicion of conspiring to intercept communications.

Yates said he had done nothing wrong.

“I have acted with complete integrity,” he said. “My conscience is clear.”

In another development, police confirmed that a second former News of the World employee was employed by Scotland Yard. Alex Marunchak had been employed as a Ukrainian language interpreter with access to highly sensitive police information between 1980 and 2000, the Metropolitan Police said.

Scotland Yard said it recognized “that this may cause concern and that some pro-

fessions may be incompatible with the role of an interpreter,” adding that the matter will be looked into.

The prime minister is under heavy pressure after the resignations of Stephenson and Yates, and Sunday’s arrest of Brooks — a friend and neighbor whom he has met at least six times since entering office 14 months ago — on suspicion of hacking into the cellphones of newsmakers and bribing police for information.

Cameron’s critics grew louder in London as he visited South Africa on a two-day visit to the continent already cut short by the crisis. He dropped stops in Rwanda and South Sudan as his government faces growing questions about its cozy relationship with Murdoch’s media empire during a scandal that has taken down top police and media figures with breathtaking speed.

Parliament was to break for the summer today after lawmakers grilled Murdoch, his son James and Brooks, in a highly anticipated public airing about the scandal.

Cameron, however, said lawmakers should reconvene Wednesday “so I can make a further statement.”

W A S H I N G T O N — Courting confrontation and compromise alike, House Republicans shrugged off President Barack Obama’s threat to veto legislation to cut federal spending by trillions of dollars on Monday while simultaneously negotiating with him over more modest steps to avert a potential government default.

The Republican bill demands deep spending reductions and congressional approval of a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution in exchange for raising the nation’s debt limit. But Obama will veto it if it reaches his desk, the White House said, asserting the legislation would “lead to severe cuts in Medicare and Social Security” and impose unrealistic limits on education spending.

In response, GOP lawmakers said they would go ahead with plans to pass the bill today.

“It’s disappointing the White House would reject this commonsense plan to rein in the debt and deficits that are hurting job creation in America,” Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio said.

By contrast, neither the administration nor congressional officials provided substantive details on an unannounced meeting that Obama held Sunday with the two top House Republican leaders, Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia.

Obama said late Monday the two sides were “making progress.”

Several Republicans said privately the decision to vote on veto-threatened legislation is paradoxically designed to clear the way for a compromise. They said conservatives would have a chance to push their deep spending cuts through the House, and then see the measure quickly die either in the Democratic-controlled

Senate or by veto.

Barring action by Congress to raise the $14.3 trillion debt limit, the Treasury will be Boehner unable to pay all the government’s bills that come due beginning on Aug. 3, two weeks from Wednesday. Administration officials, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and others say the result could be a default that inflicts serious harm on the economy, which is still struggling to recover from the worst recession in decades.

In a gesture underscoring the significance of the issue, Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., announced the Senate will meet each day until it is resolved, including on weekends.

The two-pronged approach pursued by the House GOP follows the collapse of a weeks-long effort to negotiate a sweeping bipartisan plan to cut into future deficits. The endeavor foundered when Obama demanded that tax increases on the wealthy and selected corporations be included alongside cuts in benefit programs, and Republicans refused.

The failure of that effort also reflects the outsized influence exerted by 87 firstterm Republicans, many of them elected last fall with tea party backing.

Report: Mortgage ’robo-signing’ lingers

By Michelle Conlin and Pallavi Gogoi Associated Press Writers

Mortgage industry employees are still signing documents they haven’t read and using fake signatures more than eight months after big banks and mortgage companies promised to stop the illegal practices that led to a nationwide halt of home foreclosures.

County officials in at least three states say they have received thousands of mortgage documents with questionable signatures since last fall. Lenders say they are working with regulators to fix the problem but cannot explain why the practice, known collectively as “robosigning,” has continued.

Last fall, the nation’s largest banks and mortgage lenders, including JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Bank of America and an arm of Goldman Sachs, suspended foreclosures while they investigated how corners were cut to keep pace with the crush of foreclosure paperwork.

A systematic problem Critics say the new findings point to a systemic problem with the paperwork involved in home mortgages and titles.

And they say it shows that banks and mortgage processors haven’t acted aggressively enough to put an end to widespread document fraud in the mortgage industry.

“Robo-signing is not even close to over,” says Curtis

In Essex County, Mass., the office that handles property deeds has received almost 1,300 documents since October with the signature of “Linda Green,” but in different handwriting styles and with many different titles.

Linda Green worked for a company called DocX that processed mortgage paperwork and was shut down in the spring of 2010. County officials say they believe Green hasn’t worked in the industry since.

Why her signature remains in use is not clear.

“My off ice is a crime scene,” says John O’Brien, the registrar of deeds in Essex County, which is north of Boston and includes the city of Salem.

In Guilford County, N.C., the office that records deeds says it received 456 documents with suspect signatures from Oct. 1 , 2010, through June 30. The documents, mortgage assignments and certificates of satisfaction, transfer loans from one bank to another or certify a loan has been paid off.

Suspect signatures on the paperwork include 290 signed by Bryan Bly and 155

by Crystal Moore. In the mortgage investigations last fall, both admitted signing their names to mortgage documents without having read them. Neither was charged with a crime.

Republican leaders held a news conference to tout plans to vote this week on a proposed balanced budget amendment to the Constitution.

But the same senior Republicans emerged from a closed-door meeting of the rank and file on Friday to say the House would instead vote on an alternative — dubbed by its advocates as “Cut, Cap and Balance.” No date has been set for a vote on the constitutional amendment itself.

Officials said the change in course had been requested by members of the Republican Study Committee, whose members are among the most conservative in Congress.

Supporters of the measure say it would cut $111 billion from government spending in the budget year that begins on Oct 1, and $6 trillion more over the coming decade through a requirement that the budget shrink relative to the overall size of the economy.

Additionally, it would require both houses of Congress to approve a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution as a condition for an increase in the debt limit.

Both Boehner and Cantor reacted relatively mildly to the White House veto threat.

“As President Obama has not put forth a plan that can garner 218 votes in the House, I’d caution him against so hastily dismissing ‘Cut, Cap and Balance,”’ Cantor said.

Foreclosures start, stop And in Michigan, a fraud investigator who works on behalf of homeowners says he has uncovered documents filed this year bearing the purported signature of Marshall Isaacs, an attorney with foreclosure law firm Orlans Associates. Isaacs’ name did not come up in last year’s investigations, but county officials across Michigan believe his name is being robo-signed.

The nation’s foreclosure machine almost came to a standstill when the nation’s largest banks suspended foreclosures last fall. Part of the problem, banks contended, was that foreclosures became so rampant in 2009 and 2010 that they were overwhelmed with paperwork.

The banks reviewed thousands of foreclosure filings, and where they found problems, they submitted new paperwork to courts handling the cases, with signatures they said were valid. The banks slowly started to resume foreclosures this winter and spring.

The 14 biggest U.S. banks reached a settlement with federal regulators in April in which they promised to clean up their mistakes and pay restitution to homeowners who had been wrongly foreclosed upon. The full amount of the settlement has not been determined. But it will not involve independent mortgage processing firms, the companies that some banks use to handle and file paperwork for mortgages.

Positive response “Donation meters” in downtown Lawrence are worth a try.

U

sing old parking meters to collect donations for local social service agencies is a positive approach to the continuing problem of panhandlers in downtown Lawrence.

At their meeting tonight, Lawrence city commissioners will discuss a staff report looking at the possibility of placing special meters around downtown as a way to direct charitable donations to local agencies that can help panhandlers get off the street. The report includes information from six other communities that are trying a similar approach.

The plan would be to turn used parking meters already owned by the city into “donation meters.” The meters could be placed at various locations around downtown so that people who want to help the homeless can do so by donating their spare change rather than giving it to the panhandlers. Presumably, a decline in the money they are given also will discourage panhandlers in downtown.

The staff report suggested a contest to design a logo that would clearly differentiate donation meters from regular parking meters.

Perhaps the young artists at Van Go could help provide some colorful paint jobs to go along with that logo. Local business owners might help defray the city’s cost by commissioning Van Go artists to decorate the meters, much as they have many colorful benches around Lawrence.

Putting money in donation meters would be a good option for people who want to help but don’t want to encourage downtown panhandling. The donors also will know the money they put in the meters will be put to good use.

Donation meters are a positive approach to a difficult problem. Let’s give it a try.

U.S. shouldn’t abandon friends in Iraq Americans like to think of themselves as a moral people.

So is it really possible that we will abandon thousands of Iraqis who risked their lives to help American troops and civilians but now face a grave threat of being killed as “collaborators”?

The short answer is YES. It looks as if we will reward these Iraqis’ loyalty with betrayal, including many who worked as interpreters for our troops. As we head toward a final U.S. military exit by the end of 2011, there is no plan to evacuate them.

And here’s something equally shameful: Despite a 2008 act of Congress that called for 25,000 special immigrant visas over five years for Iraqis endangered because they helped Americans, fewer than 7,000 of those visas have been issued. The flow of special visas has shrunk to just nine in April, and zero in June due to new security requirements (more about that below).

There’s no doubt about what will happen to many of these Iraqis if we don’t help them.

“They will be hunted down and killed,” says Kirk Johnson, who worked as an aid official in Iraq during the Bush administration.

He then founded the List Project to help Iraqis who worked for American organizations.

Both Sunni and Shiite militia groups have announced that they will target “collaborators,” who will get little protection from Iraqi security forces.

After American troops left Baghdad, my Iraqi driver was tortured and jailed for having tipped officers at a U.S. base in his neighborhood. The relatives of murderous Shiite militiamen whom he had f ingered had friends in the Iraqi security services and they got him arrested.

Unlike many, he managed to get

worked for us have already been killed, perhaps many times that.’ So why are we dawdling on this issue?”

free and escape to Europe.

Johnson believes “at least 1,000 Iraqis who worked for us have already been killed, perhaps many times that.” So why are we dawdling on this issue?

Part of the answer is bureaucratic. “No one in the administration has made this a top priority,” says Becca Heller, director of the Iraqi Refugee Assistance Project in New York City. President Obama has appointed capable people but has given them no firm mandate, even though he took a strong stand as a senator on rescuing Iraqis who helped Americans.

And partly the reason is security concerns. A recent Kentucky case involving two Iraqi immigrants suspected of insurgent ties has led to new security checks that have virtually frozen the program. This case sent Sen. Rand Paul, a Kentucky Republican, off on an anti-Iraqi immigrant rant that could be catching.

Yet here’s the rub. The Kentucky case involves Iraqis who came in under a normal asylum

quota, not the special program for Iraqis who worked for Americans. The latter group has already undergone extensive security checks. Yet the number of visas granted them is a small fraction of the visas granted to other Iraqi refugees.

In other words, those who worked with us are last in line for our assistance. I heard of one Iraqi interpreter with the U.S. Marines who has been shot, has family members who have been shot and is in hiding. He has eight letters of recommendation from military supervisors but can’t get a visa.

Or take the case of Qasim, a 45year-old with six kids who is living in terrified limbo. He worked since 2004 as an interpreter at a U.S. forward operating base near Mosul and went out repeatedly with our troops on dangerous night raids.

He’s a member of the minority Yazidi religious sect that has been viciously targeted by militants.

Qasim and his family were known as “friends of the Americans” in his village, and now receive threats that led him to quit his job. In May, his 15-year-old daughter was kidnapped and taken to southern Iraq by her Muslim teacher (who forced her to convert and marry him). Qasim believes the girl was chosen because his situation made the family an easy target, unable to fight back.

On the verge of getting his visa, Qasim may now have to wait for months because of the new security requirements. By that time U.S. troops — his only protection — will have left the country.

“That’s why I’m so worried for myself and my family,” Qasim told me by phone from Iraq.

There are plenty of precedents for what the United States should and shouldn’t do to help these Iraqis. Needless to say, the Vietnam example, where we made no

advance preparations to evacuate about 170,000 South Vietnamese allies, isn’t one to emulate.

When the British left Basra in southern Iraq, 17 of their interpreters were immediately killed.

After that the Brits organized an airlift of their former Iraqi staff.

The Danes (justly famous for helping Danish Jews escape during the Holocaust) also airlifted their Iraqi staff out when they left. When Polish troops went home, their Iraqi interpreters were offered asylum.

Are we less loyal to those who help us than the Danes and the Poles?

One precedent that bears study is the Guam option. In 1996, Saddam Hussein sent troops into Iraqi Kurdistan to kill Iraqi opposition forces whom we were supporting.

President Bill Clinton authorized an airlift that took 6,000 Iraqis to Guam, where they could be vetted before being granted asylum in the United States.

Yes, the security situation has changed greatly since then, but a Guam option for loyal Iraqis would provide the chance to recheck their bona fides before granting them final entry.

Maybe a Guam scenario won’t be necessary. But if we aren’t prepared, our closest Iraqi friends may be clinging to our helicopters as we leave, or killed shortly afterward. Saving them will take a clear presidential directive, backed by legislators from both parties.

“Are we still capable of honoring a moral obligation to Iraqis who helped us, or has our moral compass been shattered” by post-9/11 paranoia? Kirk Johnson asked me. The answer will be self-evident if we leave our loyal Iraqi friends to be killed.

TAKE A STAND

Science takes a beating in early presidential campaign

By Leonard Krishtalka

It is not encouraging that some candidates in the Republican presidential sweepstakes are using scientific knowledge as political footballs. Actually, not all scientific knowledge — just the kind they find uncomfortable or unpopular, which they blithely dismiss.

Addressing reporters at the Republican Leadership Conference in New Orleans in June, Michelle Bachmann, waving the banner of the tea party, declared that biological evolution was not science.

“I support intelligent design,” she said, reported CNN. “What I support is putting all science on the table and then letting students decide.”

Of course, that’s exactly what public education in biology has been doing, year in, year out: putting science, and only science, on the science table.

Biological evolution is on the table because it is science, based on centuries of repeated observation, experiment and discovery. Intelligent design, a gussied-up version of creationism, is off the table because it is based on Genesis. The lesson for students is immediate: Intelligent design cannot pose as science because it invokes the supernatural to explain natural phenomena, in this case, the history and diversity of life on Earth.

For the same reason, we don’t place the stork theory of sex on the table alongside reproductive biology for students to choose. Or a flat Earth beside a round Earth.

Or a sun-centered solar system opposite an Earth-centered one. Or an Earth that is 6,000 years old versus one that is 4.5 billion years old, despite the fact that there are factions out there who believe, in the face of facts, that the Earth is flat, 6,000 years old and at the center of our solar system.

Rep. Bachmann went on to say, “I don’t think it’s a good idea for government to come down on one side of a scientific issue or another, when

there is doubt on both sides.”

Right, except there is no doubt on either side. Science has no doubts about biological evolution. And faith has no doubts about a supernatural deity. One explains the heavens, the other how to get to heaven, to paraphrase Cardinal Baronius’ 1598 quip. Neither governments nor anyone else should mix or confuse the two.

It’s fine if Rep. Bachmann finds biological evolution personally uncomfortable. But discomfort should not Krishtalka trump knowledge or a responsible science education for the nation’s students, particularly if the U.S. is to remain competitive in a global economy that is overwhelmingly scientific and technological. And knowledge of evolution is an economic necessity. It underpins U.S. and global R&D on the production of the world’s food, fiber, fuel and pharmaceuticals.

Meanwhile, former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum is busily kicking global warming toward his goal of Republican nomination. On Rush Limbaugh’s radio show in June he labeled global warming “junk science,” stating “the idea that man, through the production of CO2 … is somehow responsible for climate change is, I think, just patently absurd.”

On June 25, he told Fox News’ Glenn Beck, “There is no such thing as global warming.”

Well, here too there is no doubt. Science has no doubt that rapid global warming has occurred during the past hundred years, much of it due to greenhouse gases from human industrial activity. Judging by ExxonMobile and its CEO, Rex Tillerson, the energy sector has no doubt that “our climate is changing, the average temperature of the earth is rising, and greenhouse gas emissions are increasing … [which] … pose significant risks to socie-

ty and ecosystems.”

The insurance sector agrees. Swiss Re, one of the world’s major insurers, warns that “Climate change will significantly affect the health of humans and ecosystems and these impacts will have economic consequences.” Marsh and McLennan, the world’s largest insurance broker, recently issued a “risk alert” to clients, saying “Climate change — often referred to as ‘global warming’ — is one of the most significant emerging risks facing the world today, presenting tremendous challenges to the environment, to the world economy, and to individual businesses.”

Corporations know that data do not lie or deny. They abide by the current parable that people are entitled to their own beliefs, but not their own facts. They respect mathematical analyses of a century of rising temperatures, dramatic increases in concentrations of CO2 (36 percent) and methane (148 percent) since 1750, rapidly shrinking glaciers on sea and land, and increasing acidification of the world’s oceans.

The Economist, a mainstream conservative business magazine, asks the simple question: “How frightened should people be about this” remaking of the planet? Their answer: “It would be odd not to be worried.”

Bachmann and Santorum, apparently, are not worried, comforted in the belief that most scientists in the U.S. and worldwide are either incompetent or liars or both. They also appear to believe that their categorical rejection of unpopular knowledge is somehow a litmus test for Republican presidential aspirants.

A truer litmus test, ironically, is just the opposite. Leadership requires the honest grit to deploy the best knowledge, no matter how uncomfortable or unpopular, in making the tough, critical decisions demanded of presidents.

PUBLIC FORUM

Get involved To the editor: Melinda Henderson (Public Forum, July 12), quoted Matthew 25:42-45 correctly.

However, she missed the point of the verse, in my opinion.

“For I was hungry” — YOU gave; “I was thirsty” — YOU. The “you” is us as individuals not Gov. Brownback and the SRS program, not President Obama and the welfare program.

There are several churches in Lawrence that come to the aid of their members and, in some cases, the community at large. I imagine that they are limited by the funds that they have at their disposal.

Since only 10 percent of us attend church on a regular basis (whatever that means), the burden is great.

Melinda, you can donate your time, your money or both to The Leo Center/Heartland Medical Center, Catholic Charities, or one of the churches that helps individuals. Call Pastor Luckey; I’m sure that he can use some help. These faith-based programs are very personal and efficient, unlike our government programs. Let us get involved.

CVLTS Come by the Replay Lounge, 946 Mass., tonight for some truly bizarre, intriguing instrumentals from electronic band CVLTS. The band is stopping in Lawrence for its last show in the U.S. before it catches a plane to perform at the Creepy Teepee Festival in the Czech Republic at the end of the month. If you’re into CVLTS you know exactly what to expect, but for those unacquainted, the band sounds ethereal and subdued with many songs bleeding into one another.

They don't use samples and you aren't likely to dance to any of their songs, but who knows, stranger things have happened. The band is joined by far more danceable Radio People and Palmetto Moon Electronic Group. In all, it's a great night for fans of electronic music, a genre that goes largely under serviced here.

The show starts at 10 p.m. and is for music fans 21 and older. glas County Courthouse, 1100 Mass.

Heat wave hardest on poorest communities

By Juan Carlos Llorca Associated Press Writer

HORIZON CITY, TEXAS — The cinderblocks that make up Maria Teresa Escamilla’s new home will do little to shield her from the triple-digit heat that has been scorching West Texas. She has no electricity yet, and the roof is not properly attached, leaving the interior exposed to the elements.

Escamilla has been living in an air-conditioned apartment that she can no longer afford. But when the lease ends in two weeks, she has to move — a day she dreads because it means she’ll have no escape from the searing temperatures.

“This is what I have to look forward to,” she said. There will be no air conditioning and an unbearable number of mosquitoes at night.

With much of the nation in the grip of a broiling heat wave, few people are hit as hard as the poor, and few places are poorer than the ramshackle communities along the Texas-Mexico border known as “colonias.”

The misery was wide-

spread Monday, with the worst conditions blanketing a broad band from Texas to Minnesota and Dakotas. Seventeen states issued heat watches, warnings or advisories. And the heat index easily surpassed 100 degrees in many places: 126 in Newton, Iowa; 120 in Mitchell, S.D.; and 119 in Madison, Minn.

The high temperatures

were nearly certain to persist for the entire week. Forecasters expected the extreme discomfort to spread soon to the East Coast.

In towns large and small, the withering heat was cruelest to those who could not afford air conditioning.

Built at the edge of the desert, the colonias often lack electricity and running water.

People bought the land before zoning regulations were adopted, hoping that utility services would follow.

To f inance her house, Escamilla, who is 62, had to take out a loan against her funeral services and buy building materials recycled from demolition sites in Ciudad Juarez, across the border from El Paso.

Norma Salazar, who shares a tiny trailer home with her husband and six children in Horizon City, on the outskirts of El Paso, has to rely on an evaporative cooler, a cheap alternative to air conditioning that sucks the hot, dry desert air through a mesh of water-soaked fibers.

But it only cools half of the trailer, and when the heat climbs above 100, not even that.

“When it gets really hot, we turn on the fans and stay inside,” Salazar said.

Going to a library or a mall to keep cool is not an option because the car doesn’t have air conditioning. “So getting there is even worse than just staying inside, not moving,” she added.

Coach: Frankamp created buzz

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Two years ago — at the age of 13 — Wichita eighth-grader Conner Frankamp received an invitation to work out with the Kansas City Pump N Run AAU team.

He gladly accepted.

“There was a big buzz about him his eighth-grade year, how special he was going to be,” Pump N Run coach L.J. Goolsby said of the 6-foot-1 Wichita North junior-to-be, who on Sunday announced his commitment to play basketball at Kansas University.

“It was one of those things we definitely wanted to get involved with Conner, and we’ve had so many kids from Wichita, it just made a Frankamp lot of sense.

He was a perfect fit for our program and we wanted to make sure he was a part of it.”

Frankamp, who was a tad too young to be beginning his AAU career, was an immediate hit at Pump N Run spring and summer workouts.

“He looked like he should be playing for our 16-and-under team,” Goolsby said. “We were already full. We didn’t want to step on any of our guys’ toes. We told him to be patient and sooner or later he’d be a part of it.”

Frankamp, who turned 16 on Saturday, has been part of Pump N Run’s 16-and-under squad the past two summers. He’s fared quite well in both 16-and-under and 17-and-under tournaments.

“He can shoot the ball. That’s one of his best attributes,” Goolsby said of the player who averaged 27.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.8 steals per game his sophomore season at North.

He hit 52 percent of his two-point tries, 46 percent of his threes and 89 percent of his free throws.

“But he also creates for other players. That’s what makes him really good. You have to get up on him because he can shoot it so well, then he can go by you and create for other guys and make plays.”

Goolsby was asked if Frankamp compares to any former college standouts.

“He’s a mixture of a lot of different guys. He can score like a Jimmer (Fredette, BYU), makes plays like a Bobby Hurley

KANSAS FOOTBALL

Back in action RB Bourbon cleared to return from injury

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Nick Krug/Journal-World File Photo

KANSAS RUNNING BACK BRANDON BOURBON FIELDS A PUNT during practice on April 11 at the practice fields near Memorial Stadium. Bourbon injured his leg in practice on April 18 but has been cleared to resume football activities, according to his high school coach.

Thirteen weeks after suffering an injury that ended his spring, red-shirt freshman running back Brandon Bourbon appears to be back in action and gearing up for the 2011 season.

Mark Casey, Bourbon’s high school coach at Potosi (Mo.) High, said Bourbon was cleared by doctors to resume full football activities about 10 days ago.

Bourbon, 6-foot-1, 208 pounds, injured his leg during spring practice on April 18. At the time, KU coach Turner Gill said Bourbon would be out 6-8 weeks but added that he expected him to return in plenty of time for preseason camp. Casey, who remains in close contact with his former player, said Bourbon was right on track for a full return.

“It seems like he’s doing pretty good,” Casey said. “He was cleared to go back to full football activities and to do everything that everybody else is doing. I think the injury might have put him a little bit behind. The way he likes to work out, he loves to hit the weight room and really hit it hard, and I don’t think he’s been able to do it the way that he’s used to doing it. But he’s still on pretty good track right now.”

Although the injury stalled his progress, Casey said Bourbon had shown great improvement from where he was during the spring of 2010 and seemed poised to inherit a bigger role in the Jayhawks’ offense this fall.

“Back in spring ball, before Brandon got hurt, I remember talking to (running backs) coach (Reggie) Mitchell about him and he said he was looking the best he had looked through all of spring ball the day he broke his leg,” Casey said. “I don’t think he feels like he’s 100 percent because he hasn’t gone out there and tested it in that manner yet.

But I think he’s feeling really, Please see BOURBON, page 3B

White Sox, Buehrle top Royals, 5-2 KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — Mark Buehrle finally picked up a win.

No surprise it happened in Kansas City.

The veteran left-hander lasted seven innings on a steamy Monday night, and the Chicago White Sox capitalized on an error by young shortstop Alcides Escobar to beat the Royals, 5-2, and give the hard-luck Buehrle his first victory since June 9.

“That’s what we’re looking for every time we score, our pitcher to shut it down,” White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen said.

It’s not as though Buehrle (7-5) hasn’t been pitching well lately.

After all, he hasn’t allowed more than three earned runs going back to April 22, and the White Sox have won 11 of his last 13 starts. It’s just that he hasn’t had much support while he’s been on the mound.

Buehrle still didn’t get much Monday night, but it was enough for his 22nd career win over Kansas City.

The only pitchers with more are Bert Blyleven (34), Roger Clemens WHITE SOX (25) and Nolan (24) — AT ROYALS Ryan some pretty When: 7:10 tonight decent compaWhere: Kauffman ny.

“It just Stadium, Kansas shows you’ve City, Mo. been around, TV: FSKC (cable you’ve been channels 36, 236) healthy,” said Pitchers: Peavy (4- Buehrle, who is 3) vs. Duffy (1-4) in the final year of a four-year, $56 million contract and has expressed interest in staying in Chicago.

“They weren’t the best team the past couple years, but they’re getting better,” he said. “And it seems the past couple starts against me, they’ve gone out there and given me trouble.”

Not this time.

Melky Cabrera and Billy Butler drove in the Royals’ only runs before Buehrle turned it over to Jesse Crain. He worked a perfect eighth inning, and Matt Thornton and Sergio Santos tagteamed the ninth as the White Sox (47-49) inched closer to the .500 mark.

The Royals lost for the 16th time in their last 20 games against the AL Central.

Kyle Davies (1-9) pitched about as well as he has all season for Kansas City and still got saddled with his eighth consecutive loss on a night when the temperature at f irst pitch was 95

degrees and the heat index registered 102.

The hot topic of local talk radio, Davies set a career high with nine strikeouts in only 5 1⁄3 innings, but Escobar’s errant throw doomed him to another bitter defeat.

The 24-year-old shortstop fielded a routine grounder with the game tied 2-2 in the sixth inning, but he zipped his throw past second baseman Chris Getz while trying to start a double play.

By the time first baseman Eric Hosmer corralled the ball, Gordon Beckham and A.J. Pierzynski were standing on second and third with just one out.

“Getz was ready to take the throw on the back of the bag and he threw it to the front of the bag.

NFL lockout might be nearing end The Associated Press

The NFL told club executives they could be schooled in the ins and outs of the new labor contract as early as Thursday, and the players’ association summoned its leadership for a potential vote — the strongest signs yet the lockout might be nearing an end.

Lawyers for both sides met 8 1⁄2 hours Monday in New York, including 31⁄2 with a court-appointed mediator, to try to close a deal to resolve the sport’s first work stoppage since 1987. Talks were scheduled to continue today.

“Making progress,” said NFL Players Association outside counsel Jeffrey Kessler, who also represents locked-out NBA players.

Commissioner Roger Goodell and NFLPA head DeMaurice Smith spoke to each other on the telephone Monday and planned to stay in regular contact.

“Nobody cheers for you at Mile 25 of a marathon. You still have to cross the finish line,” NFLPA spokesman George Atallah said in Washington. “There still are things that can get you tripped up, and we’re going to push through.”

Owners are set to hold a special

Playing overseas has pros, cons

meeting in Atlanta on Thursday, when they could ratify a new agreement — if there is one. Executives from all 32 teams then would be briefed there Thursday and Friday on how the terms would affect league business, two people familiar with the plan told The Associated Press.

The people said the clubs were told Monday that topics would include the 2011 NFL calendar, rookie salary system and guidelines for player transactions. They spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the process is supposed to remain confidential.

Any tentative agreement also must be approved by the players, of course, including Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees and the other plaintiffs in a federal antitrust suit against the league.

Members of the NFLPA executive committee and representatives of every team were heading to Washington by Wednesday, in preparation for possible decisions on reestablishing a union and signing off on a tentative pact with owners.

Atallah said the players would be gathering “with the hope they have something to look at, and with the hope we can move forward on this.”

By Josh Robbins The Orlando Sentinel

ORLANDO — The thought of Dwight Howard playing for a pro team in China or Spain or anywhere else overseas would have seemed absurd months ago.

But it doesn’t seem so farfetched anymore. Howard continues to say he might play abroad if the NBA’s labor impasse continues.

“I know you need to make a living but don’t go overseas!!!!” one fan wrote to him through Twitter on Monday.

“Listen,” Howard responded. “If I wanna go do something imma (going to) do it. It’s my life sweetie. I’m not about to jus(t) sit around. And waste my talent. So if I wanna go play anywhere imma (going to) do that.”

So what would be the pros and cons of such a move?

THE PROS ● Money: Howard won’t receive one penny of his NBA salary during the lockout, so why not earn some great money by playing overseas? All athletes have finite playing careers. Why should he give up a full season of earning power? ● Marketing: Howard can raise his profile by playing abroad and make himself even more attractive when it’s time to sign his next endorsement deal. Howard already has lucrative contracts with adidas and Gatorade, but let’s remember that those companies sell their products overseas. ● Leverage: Deron Williams already has agreed to a deal to play in Turkey. Kobe Bryant and Dwyane Wade also won’t rule out playing internationally. If a wave of players go abroad, NBA owners would lose some leverage in the upcoming labor negotiations. Maybe then the owners would be more likely to soften their stances on some negotiating points. ● Improvement: Howard has said he would use practices and games overseas to improve weak spots in his game. Maybe he’d return to the U.S. with a more refined low-post game. ● Great experience: Howard has spent plenty of time abroad, but this would give him a chance to immerse himself in a new culture and grow as a person. Doesn’t that sound attractive?

THE CONS ● Injury: Howard can become an NBA free agent next summer, and he’ll make millions no matter what the new collective bargaining agreement looks like. But playing games anywhere is a risk. A significant injury could hurt his earning power.

Why risk that? Some argue that NBA players could get hurt while they train or play pickup games in the U.S. That’s true. But can anyone say that games are officiated as cleanly overseas as they are in the U.S.? ● Steadfast owners: Perhaps the players’ union wouldn’t gain much leverage if a bunch of star players play abroad. After all, some NBA owners say they’d lose less money if the entire 2011-12 season is canceled than if the season is played. If that claim is true, then owners might not soften their negotiating stance. ● The grind: Playing overseas could have Howard tired out, and if, the NBA season does start, the league likely will compress a lot of games into a short period of time. Howard wouldn’t want to be exhausted before such a grind. ● Why are games necessary?: Why does Howard need games to improve? Last summer, he trained mostly on his own, and when he arrived at training camp, he already had a more sophisticated offensive arsenal. Why couldn’t he do the same thing again? ● Culture shock: Playing overseas isn’t necessarily easy. Sure, Howard and other NBA superstars would be granted a large degree of deference. But Howard would face a new culture, and any new team would have different expectations — expectations that would require an adjustment.

JAPANESE NATIONAL WOMEN’S SOCCER PLAYER MIHO FUKUMOTO SMILES with the trophy at Narita International Airport in Narita, east of Tokyo, Tuesday. Japan’s victory over the U.S. in the final match at the Women’s World Cup in Frankfurt, Germany, on Sunday provided a moment of joy for the country which was hit by an earthquake and tsunami March 11.

Dwight Howard considering career overseas FAIRBURN, GA. — Dwight Howard’s frustration with the NBA lockout has caused the Orlando Magic star to strongly consider playing overseas.

In an exclusive interview Sunday with The Associated Press, Howard said he would consider playing in China or Europe if the NBA lockout doesn’t end.

Howard, a five-time AllStar who led Orlando to the NBA finals in 2009, stopped short of saying he’s in contract discussions with Howard teams overseas.

“I’m not at liberty to talk about it,” he said, “but there’s a huge possibility about me going to China or me going overseas to play basketball.”

New Jersey guard Deron Williams said recently after signing with a team in Turkey that Howard could become a worldwide star if he played in China.

Howard, who hosted a celebrity basketball game Sunday to raise money for his charity, didn’t disagree.

“I don’t want to just sit over here and forget about basketball and waste, you know, opportunities for me to get better,” Howard said.

MLB Test negative on Nolan Ryan’s heart HOUSTON — Tests done Monday on Texas Rangers President Nolan Ryan showed no new heart problems for the Hall of Fame pitcher, who was hospitalized after experiencing discomfort over the weekend.

Ryan, 64, “continues to improve,” the Rangers said in a statement. He is expected to be released from a Houston hospital in a day or two.

Ryan has a pre-existing heart condition that will continue being treated with medication, according to the team’s statement. He had a double-bypass operation in 2000 and has a family history of heart disease.

He sought treatment after experiencing discomfort Sunday morning while at his home in Georgetown, located about 170 miles northwest of Houston.

Ryan had been expected to join the Rangers in Anaheim, Calif., on Tuesday night for the start of a three-game series between his AL West-leading club and the Angels, who are in second place, four games back. He was scheduled to throw out the ceremonial first pitch and to take part in a ceremony inducting Gene Autry, the Angels’ late owner, into the team’s Hall of Fame.

Ryan holds the records for most no-hitters (seven) and strikeouts (5,714). He’s been running the Rangers since 2008 and became part-owner last summer. Texas went to the World Series for the first time last fall.

Mets say SS Reyes ready to play NEW YORK— Jose Reyes appears ready to come off the disabled list.

The New York Mets star doubled and played six innings at shortstop Monday in a rehab game for Class-A Brooklyn. Mets manager Terry Collins says it looks as though Reyes will be activated Tuesday in time for the opener of a three-game series against St. Louis.

Leading the majors with a .354 batting average and 15 triples, Reyes has been sidelined since July 3 with a strained left hamstring. He has been eligible to come off the disabled list since Monday, but the Mets wanted him to test his leg in a game first.

Ortiz, Gregg’s suspensions reduced BOSTON — Boston Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz and Baltimore Orioles closer Kevin Gregg began three-day suspensions Monday after having their four-game suspensions reduced following an appeal.

Both players will sit out the entire series between Baltimore and Boston that runs through Wednesday. Ortiz and Gregg were given four-game suspensions on July 14 after nearly getting into a fight six days earlier at Fenway Park.

“Got to take it like a man,” Ortiz said. “You just don’t want to go over the same things again. Doing what I did wasn’t the right thing to do, so you’re going to be punished. Just want to get (it) over with and continue the season.”

CYCLIING Armstrong lawyers allege leaks NEW YORK — Lance Armstrong’s attorneys say illegal government leaks of grand jury information have sullied the cyclist’s reputation and have asked a court to order federal agents to discuss their contacts with the media.

In a 20-page notice of alleged violations filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, lawyers for the seven-time Tour de France winner cited more than a dozen articles in many media outlets from May 2010 through last month about an ongoing grand jury investigation into whether Armstrong used performance-enhancing drugs in violation of U.S. law.

really close. I know he’s biting at the bit to get back out there.”

In some ways, Casey believes that fighting through the first serious injury of his football career may have been good for Bourbon, much in the same way that red-shirting was in 2010.

“He’s never really been injured before, especially to this extent,” Casey said. “So it’s just going to make him a stronger person being able to fight through it. Now that it’s all over with, he just has that much more experience and he still has four years of eligibility left. I think in a lot of ways, it went the best way it could’ve gone for him.”

One thing Casey believes will help Bourbon is the presence of other talented running backs on KU’s roster, guys like sophomore James Sims and freshmen Darrian Miller and Anthony Pierson who can do their part to make sure Bourbon doesn’t have to do too much too soon.

(Duke),” Goolsby said. “He’s still a couple years away (from attending KU). I think he has a chance to be pretty darn special. Anybody who can go in a (Wichita) City League that is pretty good right now and average close to 27 points a game as a sophomore and score 52 points and break a City League record that’s been there forever ... he’s shown signs he’s well on his way.”

Frankamp scored 52 points off 18-of-38 shooting (he made eight threes and was 8-of-8 from the line) last season in an 87-81 double-overtime loss to Wichita Northwest. He surpassed the 47-point outing of Wichita South’s Ricky Ross, who torched Wichita Southeast on Valentine’s Day, 1978.

Frankamp has called that

It just wasn’t a good throw,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “You can make mistakes and end up giving up a run or two, but you better be able to cover it offensively and cover it on the pitching side. We’re just not able to cover mistakes right now.”

That proved true moments later when Mark Teahan’s chopping groundout to first allowed Pierzynski to score the go-ahead run. Juan Pierre followed with an RBI double for a 4-2 lead.

Beckham tacked on another run with an RBI groundout in the eighth.

“I was trying to pitch on both sides of the plate and not be so predictable,” said D av i e s , wh o h a s n’ t wo n

“They’re similar guys,” said Casey of Bourbon and Sims.

“And I think they’d put out about the same numbers.

That could be a good 1-2 punch. And then, with the youngsters coming in, they could have something pretty special.”

Bouncing back from injuries can change the way players approach the game.

Some are hesitant and uncertain in their return and others hit the field as if nothing ever happened. Casey said he believed Bourbon would fall into the latter category because of his tenacity.

“I think early on it took him a little while to adjust,” Casey said. “Not just to college football but to college life in general. But I think he’s kind of gotten over that rookie hump now and he’s a lot more comfortable.”

Bourbon and his teammates will continue summer conditioning for the next couple of weeks and will report to fall camp on Aug. 3, when they’ll begin preparing for the Sept. 3 season opener against McNeese State at Memorial Stadium.

Dreamius Smith not eligible Wichita Heights freshman Dreamius Smith will not be with the Jayhawks this fall because of a low ACT score.

Smith, a 6-foot, 210-pound running back, who led Heights to the Class 6A state title last fall, has been in Lawrence this summer taking classes but will not be eligible to start school in August.

Instead, Heights coach Rick Wheeler told the Wichita Eagle that Smith would enroll at a junior college and play football there.

Wheeler said Smith’s grades were fine throughout his high school career but repeated attempts to earn a qualifying ACT score were unsuccessful. Wheeler said Smith took the test every time it was available for the past year and a half.

During his senior year at Wichita Heights, Smith rushed for 1,837 yards and 34 touchdowns on 143 carries.

He came to Kansas as a running back despite the incredible depth in the Jayhawks’ backfield and was expected to compete for carries.

outing, “crazy, surreal,” pointing out it’d have been a lot better had his team won the game.

Goolsby is not surprised by that type of attitude from the team-oriented player.

“He is such a competitor,” Goolsby said. “That’s the funny thing about Conner. He makes sure everybody knows he is one of the premier players. He’ll challenge anybody from coaches to players ... it doesn’t matter. He wants to let everybody know he’s one of the best out there.”

Such bravado from a stilldeveloping youngster who Conner’s dad, Marty, says weighs all of 155 pounds.

“I don’t think when you initially look at Conner ... he walks in the building that you think he’s a player. He’s kind of misleading in that regard,” Goolsby said. “But when he starts to play, you realize how good he is. He has to get stronger and all that, but I

think even playing 17-andunder in July, he’s been very effective and been able to score and handle the ball and do a really good job for us.”

Goolsby said he’s thrilled that Frankamp has committed to KU with two years remaining in his high school career.

“He has expressed before how much he liked KU,” Goolsby said of Rivals.com’s No. 65-rated player in the Class of 2013, who chose the Jayhawks over Oklahoma, Texas, UCLA, Boston College, Kansas State, Missouri, Wichita State and others. “I think that was a pretty easy decision on his part. I’m extremely happy. At the end of the day for us, that is what this is about. We want guys to be able to find a situation they really like. When it happens to be their dream school, it makes it better.”

“

You can make mistakes and end up giving up a run or two, but you better be able to cover it offensively and cover it on the pitching side. We’re just not able to cover mistakes right now.”

— Royals manager Ned Yost since beating Minnesota on April 13. “I still need to be a little bit better than that.”

Especially when it seemed that every small miscue resulted in a run: Juan Pierre tripled leading off the first inning and scored on a sacrifice fly, then Alexei Ramirez singled in the third inning and scored on Paul Kon-

erko’s double to build a 2-0 lead.

The Royals tied the game up — then threw it away.

“It just comes down we’ve got to win a ballgame,” Davies said, “and we didn’t tonight.”

Notes: Royals LF Alex Gordon was out of the lineup after fouling a ball off his foot Sunday at Minnesota. Yost said that Gordon received treatment Monday and he shouldn’t be out too long. ...

Guillen reiterated his support for bringing back Buehrle next season, but the manager said it won’t be his decision. “I wish it was in my hands, but it isn’t,” he said. ...

The Royals dropped to 13-24 against the AL Central this season. The White Sox improved to a modest 11-17 against teams from the division. ... Pierre has a 10-game hitting streak.

Set boundaries with temperamental biological father Annie’s Mailbox

Dear Annie: I am upset about something my husband did the other day. We were saying goodbye to a friend, and she mentioned something about dessert being served at a party she would be attending. My husband replied, “If they were serving you as dessert, I would eat that anytime.” He did not know I heard him, and it made me very uncomfortable.

Should I tell him I overanniesmailbox@comcast.net heard his remark and that it They have told me in the past was inappropriate? What that it is ultimately my choice, should I say if he does it again? but in private, my mom has — Perturbed in Ontario said she’d rather I didn’t. She is estranged from her own father and was quite hurt when she tried reaching out to him. I don’t know what to do.

— Stuck in the Middle

"Dirty Jobs" meets "CSI" in the surprisingly offbeat new series "True Grime: Crime Scene Clean Up" (9 p.m, Investigation Discovery). Over the past decade, "CSI" has made the depiction of crime victims and cadavers a regular television occurrence. More recently, a taste for zombie movies and shows has fed a curious audience appetite for the depiction of rotting flesh.

It's worth noting that these morbid entertainment trends have coincided with America's engagement in multiple wars, resulting in daily carnage that has been regularly depicted in foreign media but not shown on American television. That, we're told, would be in bad taste.

"True Grime" follows the operation of Crime Scene Cleaners, a start-up in the San Francisco Bay area that has more than its share of business.

Has a drugdeal-gone-wrong left your driveway drenched in blood, brains and viscera? Who ya gonna call? Has the body of an unreported suicide become a tad ripe in Apartment 14-G? Better put these folks on speed dial. When folks arrested for being drunk and disorderly lose their "composure" in the backseat of a police car, Crime Scene Cleaners gets the job!

If the above paragraph seems flippant, it's perfectly in keeping with the tone of this show. Crime Scene Cleaners founder Neil Smither describes his work and his staff with a curious detachment. Perhaps it's because the job is both grotesque and dangerous. After all, what's worse than scraping skull fragments off bullet-pocked pavement? Doing it while the recently deceased gang member's pals have surrounded you with their makeshift shrine.

While hardly squeamish about gore, "Grime" leaves many questions unanswered. Who places the call? Who ultimately pays for this service? And how much does Smither charge? Is there a perjob fee? A retainer? Some kind of "menu"?

Like any entrepreneur, Smither protects his trade secrets. But he's not afraid to reveal his inspiration. He got the idea for his business while watching The Wolf (Harvey Keitel) clean out a bloody car with brisk efficiency in the 1994 movie "Pulp Fiction." Who says life doesn't imitate art? ● TV-themed DVDs available today include season two of the HBO import "Epitafios."

Tonight’s other highlights ● "Attack of the Show" (6 p.m., G4) recalls the late Ryan Dunn. ● Gordon Ramsay gets to holler on both "Hell's Kitchen" (7 p.m., Fox) and "MasterChef" (8 p.m., Fox). ● Much ado about a houseboat on "Memphis Beat" (8 p.m., TNT). ● An Annapolis pal in need on "White Collar" (8 p.m., USA). ● Tempers rise as nets go unfilled on "Deadliest Catch" (8 p.m., Discovery). ● "Drug Kingpin Hippos" (9 p.m., Animal Planet) showcases the private zoo created by cocaine dealer Pablo Escobar. ● Injured veterans use softball as rehabilitation on "Real Sports With Bryant Gumbel" (9 p.m., HBO). ● The Taliban crash a wedding party on "Combat Hospital" (9 p.m., ABC). ● In civil war-torn Colombia, a librarian uses two donkeys to bring books to needy children in the film "Biblioburro" on "POV" (9 p.m., PBS).

Dear Ontario: These things are best dealt with immediately. Some women can make a joke out of such lascivious remarks, rolling their eyes while giving the impression that the guy has the manners of a Neanderthal. If you cannot manage that, however, it’s perfectly fine to tell him his words were inappropriate and hurtful. The point is that he doesn’t get away with it.

Dear Stuck: It is caring of you to take your parents’ feelings into consideration, but you are an adult now, and contacting your biological father is entirely your choice. It sounds as if you have some unfinished business, so we suggest trying to contact him again. But prepare for the possibility that you will be disappointed, and set boundaries. Tell him you’d like a chance to know him (and your half-brother), but you will not tolerate any verbal trashing of your mother.

Dear Annie: I have never met my biological father. My parents have never lied to me about him. They told me the truth about where I came from and have always added that they love me.

I received presents from this man from the time I was 6 until I was 13, and then I didn’t hear from him anymore.

On my 17th birthday, I got a random email from him. We corresponded briefly before he started to chew out my mother and blame HER for everything. But I know the truth. He had visitation rights until I was 5 years old, but he didn’t want to pay child support, so he signed over his parental rights to my adoptive father. I told my mother about the emails, and then I deleted them.

I am now 19 and don’t know whether to be hurt or angry. I don’t know if I want this man to be a part of my life, but I definitely do not want him bashing my mother. He’s never paid a dime to help support me. However, I learned I have a half-brother, and I would like to meet him.

Should I try to reach out to my bio father, even if it’s only to f ind out more about this brother?

I want to talk to my parents about this, but every time I bring up the subject, they both become visibly upset.

8-run eighth propels Boston The Associated Press

Red Sox 15, Orioles 10 B A L T I M O R E — Dustin Pedroia doubled in two runs to spark an eight-run eighth inning, and Boston got home runs from Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Josh Reddick in a rout of Baltimore on Monday night.

Pedroia, Kevin Youkilis and Darnell McDonald had three RBIs apiece for the Red Sox, who have won 13 of 15. The run includes a 16-inning, 1-0 win over Tampa Bay on Sunday night in which Boston had only five hits.

The Red Sox had 16 hits in their seventh straight victory over the Orioles. Boston has outscored Baltimore 61-32 during that span.

Pedroia hit a tiebreaking two-run double off Mike Gonzalez (1-2) to make it 9-7.

J.J. Hardy and Adam Jones homered for the Orioles, who have lost 10 of 12.

Dan Wheeler (2-1) got the win with 2 1⁄3 innings of no-hit relief for starter Tim Wakefield.

Yankees 5, Rays 4 ST. PETERSBURG, FLA. — Russell Martin drew a basesloaded walk with two outs in the top of the ninth to give New York the win.

Robinson Cano, Mark Teixeira, Brett Gardner and Eduardo Nunez also drove in runs for the second-place Yankees, who rallied from a 41 deficit to remain 1 1⁄2 games behind Boston in the AL East.

Rookie left-hander Alex Torres (0-1) yielded the winning run in his major league debut after New York loaded the bases on Curtis Granderson’s single, an intentional walk to Nick Swisher and another walk to Andruw Jones.

David Robertson (3-0) pitched a perfect eighth inning, striking out two to get the victory. Mariano Rivera worked a one-two-three ninth to earn his 24th save in 28 opportunities.

Rays rookie Alex Cobb allowed two runs and three hits after being called up from the minors to make his sixth major league start.

Indians 5-6, Twins 2-3 MINNEAPOLIS — Lou Marson hit a tiebreaking solo homer in the seventh inning and Cleveland completed a doubleheader sweep with a 6-3 victory over Minnesota, kicking off a fourgame series with two wins.

Marson doubled and scored in the fifth against Scott Diamond, who was making his major league debut for Minnesota. Fausto Carmona (5-10) came off the disabled list and won for only the second time in his last 12 starts, allowing two runs in six innings.

Asdrubal Cabrera hit a three-run homer to lift the Indians to a 5-2 win in the first game and added an RBI single in the second.

The Twins fell seven games behind the Indians.

Travis Hafner had two hits and two RBIs in the second game, and Michael Brantley finished with five hits.

Minnesota’s Joe Mauer had three hits in each game, but Carmona picked up where David Huff (1-0) left off.

Returning from a strained right quadriceps muscle, Carmona allowed seven hits, struck out one and walked none.

The Twins couldn’t have expected too much more from their fill-in starters. Anthony Swarzak, summoned from the bullpen for the opener, pitched six innings, giving up four runs, three earned.

Heat forces Halladay to leave; Cubs win The Associated Press

Cubs 6, Phillies 1 CHICAGO — Aramis Ramirez and Carlos Pena homered to back a dominant start by Rodrigo Lopez, and Chicago beat Philadelphia on Monday night as Phillies ace Roy Halladay left the game because of the heat.

Halladay doubled over and was visited by a trainer after Starlin Castro led off the fifth inning with a single. Drew Carpenter came in to replace him.

Halladay was drenched in sweat on a humid night in which the game-time temperature was 91. The heat clearly affected him.

He gave up three runs and seven hits and took his first loss since May 15.

This was Halladay’s shortest outing since he pitched three innings for Toronto against Florida on June 12, 2009.

Pittsburgh kicked off an important two-week stretch by shutting down the Reds after Morton (8-5) extricated himself from a bases-loaded jam in the first inning following a lengthy rain delay to win for the first time since June 15.

The right-hander gave up three hits, striking out three and walking two. Joel Hanrahan pitched the ninth for his 27th save as Pittsburgh moved a half-game ahead of Milwaukee in the division.
