ESTHER ROMERO, 12, OF FORT COLLINS, COLO., deals with the heat and humidity in Lawrence on Tuesday at the Youth Sports Complex during the USSSA Fast Pitch 12 and UnderWorld Series.

City welcomes World Series

By Dustin Porter dporter@ljworld.com

Lawrence this week welcomes 1,200 softball enthusiasts to the USSSA Fast Pitch 12 and Under World Series.

The 44 teams competing come from Illinois, Colorado, Arkansas, Iowa, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Missouri and Kansas. The double-elimination tournament officially starts today and runs through the weekend at the Youth Sports Complex, 4911 W. 27th St. The competition is some of the best in the country. But the No. 1 foe appears to be the weather, which is expected to be hot with highs in the high 90s and a slight chance of rain through Sunday.

“Players should drink a bottle of water before they go out and try to drink at least one cup every hour,”

Lawrence Athletic Club trainer Jonathan Blake said. “They should also go out on the field at least 10 minutes before the game starts to get acclimated to the heat.”

Parents know this too well and are trying to ensure their players are adequately hydrated during the games.

“We brought our own water, coolers and sports drinks to keep the girls hydrated,” said parent Brain Bates, of Lincoln, Neb. “Then we found out they had an outlet at the ballfields and used some extension cords to put a fan in the dugout.”

The city is pitching in to help the players and fans brave the heat. Bob Sanner, the Lawrence Convention and Visitors Bureau director of conventions and sports, said there would be water stations and tents at the fields, and a luau Wednesday night allowed teams to cool off at the pool.

Sanner added that the tournament gives hotel owners, shops and restaurants extra business and a chance to show off the “best of what Lawrence has to offer.”

“The softball groups that come in during the week account for half of the rooms, which is pretty good for us because we’re not quite as full during the week,” said Will Richardson, assistant general manager for the Holiday Inn Express & Suites.

“It’s nice for them to have a full week to explore Lawrence.”

Restaurants also welcome the players and their families.

“It’s always nice to have 300 people come to the restaurant,” said Jeni Hagen, Applebee’s manager. “We covered the player’s tabs and wished them the best of luck.”

An energy case before the Kansas Corporation Commission could set a precedent for how utility companies handle expensive environmental upgrades to their coal plants.

Last week, Kansas City Power & Light argued before the KCC that it should be allowed to collect $1.23 billion from its customers to cover governmentmandated environmental upgrades to the La Cygne Generation Station.

Westar Energy has 50 percent ownership in the power plant, but KCP&L manages it.

Among those objecting to the proposal are The Great Plains Alliance for Clean Energy and the Kansas Chapter of the Sierra Club. Both believe the energy companies should have spent more time considering alternatives to the retrofits, such as spending the $1.23 billion on building a larger inventory of renewable and cleaner energy sources and retiring the nearly 40-year-old coal plant.

“Is this a prudent decision to retrofit an aging, vintage coal plant that is almost certainly going to need additional retrofits Please see ENERGY, page 2A

Hemenway fully retired from KU, not on payroll

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

Two years after the Kansas Board of Regents reached an agreement with three outgoing university chief executives, retired Kansas University Chancellor Robert Hemenway has fully retired from the university and is no longer on the payroll, university officials confirmed.

Two other retired university leaders, however, are still drawing salaries from their institutions, as laid out in a 2009 regents memo.

After all three retired in 2009, they each took a one-year sabbatical for the 2009-10 school year. Hemenway returned for the 2010-11 school year

to teach and to write a book, under stipulations in the memo.

Hemenway returned as a full professor of English and taught one class in the fall 2010 and spring 2011 semes- Hemenway ters, American Studies 344, Topic: Sport and Higher Education. He was paid for the 200910 and 2010-11 school years at $340,352, the same salary he received in the last year he was chancellor. Of that salary, $120,000 came from public funds, and the remainder was paid by the KU Endowment Association.

Hemenway is now fully retired and doesn’t receive a salary, said Jack Martin, a KU spokesman. He also no longer receives the four tickets to KU athletics events he received during the last two school years, nor is he assigned a graduate research assistant to assist with his book project.

Hemenway will still have access to a campus office, which is in the Hall Center for the Humanities building, Martin said. Del Shankel, KU’s 15th chancellor, also has use of an office on campus.

Retired Pittsburg State University President Tom Bryant is working half-time as a professor in the College of Education and making $43,425, an

administrative assistant to the president at the university said. Retired Kansas State President Jon Wefald is making $157,982 per year as a halftime professor in the university’s School of Leadership Studies, a Kansas State spokeswoman said.

Both entered a phased retirement program after their one-year sabbaticals that can last for up to five years, by mutual agreement with their universities.

Bryant and Wefald are also no longer receiving athletics tickets, as outlined in the regents’ memo.

Baker community honors freshman baseball player

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

Members of the Baker University community remembered Tyler Jeck as a motivated and bright student whose positive attitude lifted those around him in classrooms and on the baseball diamond.

The 19year-old Baker University stu- Jeck dent’s body was found Tuesday in about 90 feet of water at Beaver Lake after a weekend boating accident in northwest Arkansas, according to Benton County authorities.

Witnesses told investigators that Jeck jumped from a boat into the lake Saturday afternoon to cool off and never resurfaced.

Phil Hannon, the school’s baseball coach, said he had all his players write down words

that reminded them of the freshman outfielder. Determined, one said. Funny, persistent, loyalty, friendship, said others.

“It hit me hard,” Hannon said. “But with the support of the Baker University staff and players, it’s really been helpful.”

Darcy Russell, a Baker professor of biology, spoke at a reflection at the school’s chapel in Jeck’s honor. She said he was focused on his goal of becoming a doctor, a career at which he would have succeeded, she said.

He was a positive spirit, Russell said, and made everyone around him happier.

“When you teach an 8:30 class for teenagers, not all of them are present at every moment,” she said. “That was not true of Tyler — he was always alert, always present.”

CPA picnic events begin

By John Schulz EudoraReporter.com

The annual CPA picnic in Eudora enters its 103rd year this week, and the event’s main organizer anticipates a strong turnout.

“We will have a great time over the coming days and plenty of entertainment and fun for the entire family over the course of it,” said Jerry Trober, who’s headed the annual celebration for 23 years. “It’s a great time to celebrate Eudora and the heritage of our city.”

CPA stands for the Cattlemen’s Protective Association.

The group was formed in the late 19th century to protect the town from cattle rustlers and horse thieves.

Here’s a quick rundown of activities: ● Events start at 6 p.m. today, with carnival games and rides.

● Friday kicks off with a morning golf tournament at Eagle Bend Golf Course in Lawrence. The Children’s Parade starts rolling down Main Street in Eudora at 7 p.m. Registration starts at 6:15 p.m. in the city park at Seventh and Main streets. No motorized vehicles are allowed in the parade.

Carnival rides will open after the parade, and St. Paul United Church of Christ will sell hamburgers, hot dogs and desserts in the concession stand. ● Carnival rides and concessions will be open downtown Saturday afternoon and evening. The grand parade starts at 7 p.m., and registration for it is at 6 p.m. in the Laws Field parking lot at 16th and Elm streets. The parade route will head north up Elm, then west at 10th to Main, where it will head north again. The parade concludes at Seventh and Main.

Why wait…

just so a utility can keep burning coal?” GPACE executive director Scott Allegrucci asked.

The choice is one that utility companies across Kansas will continue to weigh as they face mounting environmental regulations for cleaning up their coal plants, said Stephanie Cole, a spokeswoman for the Kansas chapter of the Sierra Club.

“KCP&L is at a crossroads, and the status quo is no longer an option. So, they have a choice. Do they want to spend a billion dollars to upgrade an aging coal plant or do the want to pursue alternatives?”

Cole said. “Many other utilities are faced with the same decision. And now what we are seeing is that they are choosing to phase out the oldest and least efficient coal plants.”

Among the coal-f ired plants scheduled for multimillion dollar environmental upgrades is the Westarowned plant in Lawrence.

According to Westar Energy spokeswoman Gina Penzig, “time and time again” it has made economic sense to keep operating the Lawrence power plant.

“For long-term energy policy and for maintaining good affordable prices for Kansas, it’s really important we keep the coal fleet,” Penzig said.

In the case of the La Cygne plants, KCP&L considered a host of alternative energy sources, said the company’s director of corporate communications, Katie McDonald.

Because of its intermittent nature, wind couldn’t provide the base-load of energy that the coal can at La Cygne. And, natural gas or nuclear plants were either more expensive than the retrofits or couldn’t be built in time to meet the 2015 deadline.

“Our customers’ biggest priority is keeping costs down,” McDonald said. “The least cost option is to retrofit La Cygne.”

Using its own model, the KCC staff came to a similar conclusion.

But Allegrucci questions the models used, saying some of the data was outdated and didn’t factor in other environmental regulations that could be passed in the coming decades.

“We don’t believe the options were presented fairly or accurately,” he said.

If the KCC approves KCP&L’s request, the average monthly bill of a Westar residential customer would gradually increase over a 20-year period from 36 cents a month to $3.95 in 2017 and 2018 and then gradually decreasing to about $1.50 a month.

If KCP&L would pay for the retrofits without having to raise customers rates, it wouldn’t need approval from the KCC to move forward with the upgrades. The company’s filing is asking that the customers be charged for the retrofits before the project is completed, not afterwards.

And, that’s one part of the KCP&L’s request that concerns David Springe, who is the consumer counsel with the Citizens’ Utility Ratepayer Board.

“It’s moved all the risk over to ratepayers. So we think the shareholders should get a lower profit on that piece of the plant,” he said.

As for Allegrucci, he believes the issue should open up a statewide conversation on the sources of energy being used.

“We need to have an adult, policy discussion on energy and what is in the best interest all around — for the state, for ratepayers and in terms of public health and in terms of job creation,” he said.

The KCC has until Aug. 22 to make a decision.

End of shutdown brings relief, frustration Minnesota’s state government shutdown ended Wednesday after 20 days, millions in lost revenue and frustration on the part of residents and politicians.

The stoppage made the state a national example of political dysfunction, a small-scale mirror of the dispute in Washington over whether to raise the debt ceiling. But while federal lawmakers appeared close to a deal to slash spending, Minnesota’s budget was widely panned for just putting the problems off until later.

Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton pushed for months to raise taxes on the state’s richest residents to provide more money for social services, while Republicans adopted a “live within our means” motto. In the end, the state will spend more by delaying aid to schools and borrowing against future payments from a legal settlement with tobacco companies.

In contrast, the proposal being floated Wednesday in Washington would cut entitlement programs while raising some taxes. In both cases, members of both parties have bitter pills to swallow, but in Minnesota, there’s not even the satisfaction of having finally solved the problem.

Dayton said the budget was the best deal he could get given what he called Republican stubbornness.

“I signed it because otherwise Minnesota wouldn’t go back to work,” he said at a Capitol bill signing ceremony.

Aquifer meeting set to seek solutions ————

Depletion of underground reservoir affects western Kansas

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

In 17th-century Boston, long before it became home to millions of people and the Boston Red Sox, a 50-acre piece of land was opened for families to graze cattle.

The families had an incentive to graze as many cows as they could and have the livestock eat as much as they wanted. The situation soon led to overgrazing

and a field that was useful to no one.

The dilemma has become one of the best-known examples of the “Tragedy of the Commons.” A 21stcentury version of this tale of rapidly depleting natural resources is occurring underneath western Kansas in the High Plains Aquifer.

Millions of years old and hun-

dreds of feet deep, the High Plains Aquifer, which is also called the Ogallala Aquifer, runs from South Dakota to Texas and supplies much of the country’s breadbasket with irrigation.

For decades, farmers in the western part of the state have been pulling from the aquifer to irrigate crops, rapidly depleting the water source. While the rate of

Taliban: Hackers falsely report death

Heat ‘dome’ feels like steam bath

Somalis dying in famine Tens of thousands of Somalis are feared dead in the world’s worst famine in a generation, the U.N. said Wednesday, and the U.S. said it will allow emergency funds to be spent in areas controlled by alQaida-linked militants as long as the fighters do not interfere with aid distributions.

Exhausted, rail-thin women are stumbling into refugee camps in Kenya and Ethiopia with dead babies and bleeding feet, having left weaker family members behind along the way.

“Somalia is facing its worst food security crisis in the last 20 years,” said Mark Bowden, the U.N.’s top official in charge of humanitarian aid in Somalia.

“This desperate situation requires urgent action to save lives ... it’s likely that conditions will deteriorate further in six months.”

The battle against the Taliban turned high-tech in Afghanistan on Wednesday with insurgents claiming their cellphones and website were hacked to spread false reports about the death of their leader Mullah Mohammad Omar.

Taliban spokesmen quickly denied that their oneeyed, reclusive leader had died. Later, the Taliban’s cultural affairs commission issued a lengthy retort, alleging that “the enemy, led by American spies,” was behind the false reports. The response said the Taliban leader was very much alive and “on duty.”

Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said the insurgents’ official website, spokesmen’s email accounts and cell phones were all hacked.

If the extreme heat and humidity lingering over much of the nation feels like a steam bath, it’s because the same principles are at work in the atmosphere.

Vast amounts of warmth and moisture have become trapped under a huge “heat dome,” bringing record-breaking temperatures and thick, topical air to scores of cities from the Plains to the Ohio Valley.

Now the system is moving east to spread the misery to some of the country’s most densely populated areas through the weekend.

The heat dome forms when a high pressure system develops in the upper atmosphere, causing the air below it to sink and compress because there’s more weight on top. That raises temperatures in the lower atmosphere, said Eli Jacks, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Silver Spring, Md. The dome of high pressure also pushes the jet stream and its drier, cooler air, farther north — it’s now well into Canada — while hot, humid air from the Gulf of Mexico circulates clockwise around the dome, traveling farther inland than normal.

Combined with generally clear skies and the sun’s higher summertime angle, “it gets really hot,” Jacks said.

depletion had historically slowed, the last 10 years of drought have reversed the trend, said Brownie Wilson, GIS support services manager with the Kansas Geological Survey.

“With what was once deemed a full tank of gas, we now have got a quarter of a tank. We’ve got to address the situation in certain areas,” said Wilson, who measures 1,400 wells every year

Money ‘untraceable’ in wire scams

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

It’s one phone call a grandparent never wants to receive.

Their grandchild — or at least someone who claims to be — calls them in a panic, reporting to be in jail in a foreign country and asking for several thousands dollars to be wired to Canada or somewhere else for bond.

But authorities say it’s an old scam that a 90-year-old Lawrence woman fell victim to last week when she wired more than $18,000 to Canada because she thought she was helping her grandson.

“We always tell people to be very vigilant of who is calling them to make sure it’s real,” said Sgt. Matt Sarna, a Lawrence police spokesman.

Sarna said it appeared to be a common scam that often targets the elderly, and police encourage residents to always speak to

other family members to try to corroborate what the caller is telling them.

Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson said this type of scam was reported in the area about a year ago, but he says it’s one national consumer protection experts often see. The scam artists do their best to research peoBranson ple typically through social networking sites or stolen records.

The fake grandchild also asks the victim to promise secrecy, claiming that they either don’t want his or her parents to find out or that he or she is embarrassed.

But Branson said it’s always best to independently verify the information.

“If someone is in custody some-

where, that’s typically not something that they’re going to keep a secret. That’s probably something that you need help from other family members,” he said.

He recommends asking the caller questions to catch them off guard.

“These scam artists are typically pretty good, but if you ask them about a pet or a sibling that they don’t have, a kind of trick question, they’re not going to be able to answer those things,” he said.

According to the Federal Trade Commission, requests to wire money overseas are common in scams.

“The moment you wire the money it’s gone,” Branson said.

“It’s almost untraceable. It’s the same as handing somebody cash. You’re not going to get that money back.”

A 67-acre patch of rural property at the northwestern edge of Lawrence someday could become the new home for a major warehouse, a manufacturing plant or some other industrial operation.

But not if Douglas County commissioners determine that such a future would be a barrier to proper development of the area.

Commissioners heard arguments on both sides of the issue Wednesday night during a public hearing COUNTY regarding a proposal to COMMISSION annex the property into the city of Lawrence. The land is wedged between the Kansas Turnpike and the Farmer’s Turnpike, about a half-mile east of the Kansas Turnpike’s Lecompton interchange.

The property’s owners, members of the Rothwell family, say they want to market the land to developers who could bring jobs and tax revenues to the area. But first they need to bring the property into the city, and then have the land rezoned for industrial use.

That can’t happen unless county commissioners agree that such annexation wouldn’t hinder or prevent the area’s proper growth or development.

Commissioners already approved such a plan, last year, for an adjacent parcel of land: more than 50 acres of land directly to the east. That followed an identical finding two years earlier, for a 155-acre tract just northwest of the Rothwell property.

Lawrence city commissioners then followed up those determinations by annexing the properties and rezoning the sites for industrial use — the same path being sought by the Rothwells.

SOUND OFF

Q:

I heard a rumor the Hobby Lobby chain is owned or partially owned by the Phelps Family in Topeka. Is that true?

A:

No. The chain of 480 stores, including one in Lawrence, is owned

by Hobby Lobby Stores Inc. CEO David Green and his wife, Barbara.

The confusion may come between David Green, of Hobby Lobby, and David Greene — with an “e” on the end — of the First Amendment Project, said Vince Parker, Hobby Lobby’s director of training and customer service.

“Hobby Lobby is in no way affiliated with Fred Phelps or Westboro,” Parker said.

“Hobby Lobby is Christian owned and we do contribute to various Christian charities.

We focus primarily on the distribution of Bibles to children around the world.

“We do not support any political groups and certainly do not support any anti-gay organizations. We seek only to spread the message of God’s love and salvation which is offered to all people.”

State Democrats file ethics complaint

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

T O P E K A — The Kansas Democratic Party on Wednesday filed an ethics complaint against state Rep. TerriLois Gregory, R-Baldwin City, saying she violated a state law that prohibits the use of public resources for political campaigning.

In a prepared statement Gregory admitted Gregory she made a mistake in requesting campaign contributions in a newsletter sent in a recent email from her state account. “I take full responsibility for my actions and apologize to my constituents,” Gregory said.

Kansas law prohibits state elected officials from using public funds, machinery, equipment, supplies or any governmental agency for campaign purposes.

“Rep. Gregory talks about her conservative principles, her desire to stop government waste and be a good steward of taxpayer dollars, apparently while sending out campaign solicitations using state resources,” said Kansas Democratic Party executive director Kenny Johnston.

No arrests have been made in either of two area bank robberies from last week, said FBI spokesman Joel Sealer.

“There’s nothing new to report,” Sealer said.

The first bank robbery occurred July 14 in Lawrence at Central National Bank, 603 W. Ninth St. A man walked into the bank in the afternoon and demanded money from a teller. No one was injured.

Police have released this description of the suspect: White male, mid-20s, about 6 feet tall, with brown hair, who wore a green cap, blue jeans and a black zip-up coat. Surveillance footage from the bank caught images of the man, but the man’s cap obscures a clear picture of his face.

• A 20-year-old female Kansas University student reported to Lawrence police July 13 that someone had defrauded her and stolen $2,500 from her by using a computer.

INJURY ACCIDENT • A 21-year-old Eudora woman has been released from the hospital after a one-vehicle accident Tuesday night south of Eudora.

Sgt. Steve Lewis, a Douglas County Sheriff's spokesman, said Emily Ballock was driving a 2004 Oldsmobile south on County Road 1061 when the vehicle drifted west. She overcorrected the vehicle, and it ended up in the east ditch.

It occurred at 8:45 p.m. 2 miles south of Kansas Highway 10. She was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital, where she was later treated and released, a hospital spokeswoman said.

• Police have found a man in Leavenworth who is a suspect in what was originally reported as a strong-armed robbery that occurred Wednesday morning near Seventh and Michigan streets in Lawrence.

Sgt. Matt Sarna, a Lawrence police spokesman, said police were called at 11:20 a.m. after a 22-year-old Lawrence man alleged he met a Leavenworth man at a pre-arranged location

The other robbery occurred July 15 at Great Southern Bank, 2040 South Princeton St. in Ottawa. A man gave the teller a note demanding cash and threatened the teller with a weapon, although no weapon was shown, she said. No one was injured.

Police released this suspect description: White male with a goatee, brown hair, thin build, in his mid-30s, 5 feet 7 inches to 6 feet tall. He wore a camouflage ball cap, dark plaid shirt with a brown T-shirt underneath that had an unknown design on the chest and dirty blue jeans. The surveillance footage from the bank does catch the suspect’s face in several images.

BRIEFLY Man pleads guilty to attempted solicitation

Pokorny revoked his bond Wednesday.

A 28-year-old Lawrence man admitted Wednesday to sending sexually explicit text messages and photographs to a 12-year-old Douglas County girl in March and is expected to face 20 years in prison.

Willie J. Burtrum pleaded guilty to attempted Burtrum electronic solicitation of a child, and attorneys said as part of the plea deal he agreed to serve 247 months in prison.

Amy McGowan, a chief assistant district attorney, said prosecutors had evidence that Burtrum was in Lawrence on March 19 and sent the messages to the Baldwin City girl he was acquainted with.

“The photographs and texts were of a sexually explicit nature,” McGowan said.

Police arrested Burtrum after an investigation.

Attorneys said Burtrum faces the 20-year sentence because of his past criminal history. He would also be required to register as a sex offender.

As part of the plea agreement, prosecutors agreed to dismiss misdemeanor charges related to a 2010 domestic incident. District Judge Sally Pokorny is scheduled to sentence Burtrum on Oct. 3.

ON THE RECORD Chad Kolumber, Kansas University offensive lineman, Philadelphia “I guess I’d want to have super speed. I’ve always been slow.”

“This type of behavior demonstrates either a total lapse in judgment or a serious misunderstanding of what it means to be a public servant.

An elected Kansas official should know and do better,” Johnston said.

Gregory said she will work with the Kansas Governmental Ethics Commission “on this error.” She added, “I understand that state property must be respected and will ensure that this does not happen again.”

The email contains a July newsletter from Gregory that touches on several major state issues.

Under the heading, “How do we continue?” Gregory, in her first term, asked for campaign contributions for her 2012 re-election campaign.

She asked for contributions ranging from $5 to $500 with a goal of raising $20,000 by Aug. 25 for her 2012.

“Unless you like more taxes, more debt and more regulation, I need to stay in off ice and hold strong a defensive f iscal line for Kansas,” she said. She includes instructions on who to make checks out to and where to send them.

The newsletter was sent from her state House email account.

“The Leavenworth man took off running with the phone after obtaining it without force or threat,” Sarna said. “The suspect got into a waiting vehicle and fled the scene. The victim returned home to call police.”

No one had been arrested as of Wednesday afternoon, and Sarna said police would forward a copy of the report to the Douglas County District Attorney’s Office for a decision about whether to file charges.

CONDITION UPDATES • Two Lawrence men who were injured in separate motorcycle accidents Monday on U.S. Highway 40 west of Lawrence have both been treated and released from Stormont-Vail Regional Health Center in Topeka, a hospital spokeswoman said Wednesday.

She added, “I believe no matter what a person’s political affiliation, if we were to take a poll, I can’t imagine most people would support closing an SRS office as large as the one in Lawrence without any governmental process involving the key stakeholders.”

She wrote her poem after a community meeting that drew an estimated 700 people last week at Plymouth Congregational Church. She read it at a rally Saturday at South Park, posted it on her blog and, now, it has more than 1,000 hits.

Mirriam-Goldberg’s job as poet laureate is in limbo. She was appointed two years ago to a three-year term by the Kansas Arts Commission.

The poet laureate receives a $2,500-a-year stipend to hold various events and workshops. Brownback, however, vetoed funding for the Arts Commission.

Meeting on impact of closure set for Saturday said she wants the Lawrence SRS office to remain in operation.

But if Brownback refuses to reverse that decision, Hale said, “we must find ways to ensure this community can still meet its human service needs.”

Groups responding to the League’s initiative include the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department, the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, United Way of Douglas County, Family Promise of Lawrence, Health Care Access and Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center.

“We want to gather and provide information to the public on how community agencies can respond,” Hale said. “We expect to form an ongoing working group to monitor continuation of SRS services that are needed in our community.”

Advocates for elderly urge decision reversal A statewide group that advocates for the elderly on Wednesday called on Gov. Sam Brownback to reconsider his administration’s decision to close nine state welfare offices, including the one in Lawrence.

“These closures produce little savings in terms of dollars compared to the services they provide to our friends and neighbors,” Kansas Advocates for Better Care said.

“Those who are bearing the brunt of this cure-all are entirely blameless and very, very poor. The Brownback administration is trying to convince us that there are too many of ‘them’ and that they are unworthy of our consideration and support.

Otherwise, who’d agree to swallow such an expensive poison pill?” the group said.

Brownback and Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services Secretary Robert Siedlecki Jr. have said the closures are needed to save $1 million in administrative costs. They have said the Medicaid program is hampered by escalating costs.

But the KABC said Kansas has fewer Medicaid recipients as a proportion of the population than most other states.

KABC says the Brownback administration should work to get more homebased services to the elderly and persons with disabilities. This would be both compassionate and reduce costs spent for institutional care, the group said.

“Closing SRS offices does nothing to reduce the need for Medicaid assistance absent the cynical assumption that the most impaired won’t be able to access Medicaid services,” KABC said.

Beth Johnson, vice president for the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, said that building such land inventory remained essential for providing the choices necessary to attract employers — especially ones affiliated with bioscience operations, such as those just starting to sprout in the Lawrence community.

“What we’re developing here is an area, an area for industrial development that can handle the types of products, the types of development, that we want for this community,” Johnson said.

But several residents in the rural area argued that the county should reject the urban push, contending that the inevitable rezoning could lead to mining operations, storage of explosives or other

State’s pension funding gap rises to $8.3B TOPEKA — The projected long-term funding shortfall for the Kansas public pension system has risen to nearly $8.3 billion.

Executive Director Glenn Deck said Wednesday that the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System is still recognizing investment losses from the start of the Great Recession in 2008. KPERS averages losses and gains over five years, to lessen the yearto-year swings in the value of its assets.

The new figure, released to KPERS trustees last week, is $587 million higher than the previous figure of almost $7.7 billion. The increase is about 8 percent.

The figure represents the gap between anticipated revenues and benefits promised to teachers and other government workers through 2033.

KPERS expects the figure to drop significantly when a pensions law enacted this year takes effect.

obviously the goal is to minimize those negative consequences,” Todd said. “I don’t mean to downplay those concerns, but I think, certainly, the benefit to a large number of people in the community unfortunately sometimes has to outweigh a small detriment to a small number of people in the community. …

“It is what it is.”

Commissioners plan to decide the issue next week during their regular meeting at 6:35 p.m. Wednesday.

Last year, when commissioners considered the same issue for the land immediately to the east, it passed on a 21 vote. Approving it last time were Jim Flory, whose district includes the Rothwells’ property, and Mike Gaughan, whose entire district is inside the city of Lawrence; Nancy Thellman was opposed.

along the aquifer.

On Thursday, a summit hosted by Gov. Sam Brownback will be at Colby Community College to discuss the economic impact of the future of the Ogallala Aquifer.

Brownback will be joined by other state agencies and those whose livelihoods and businesses depend on the water.

The summit is the first of its kind, said Joe Aistrup, a political science professor and interim dean of the Colleges of Arts and Sciences at Kansas State University.

“It has been discussed, but not nearly in such a significant way,” Aistrup said.

Among Aistrup’s research projects is a National Science Foundation study examining the sustainability and longterm viability of the Ogallala Aquifer.

To preserve the aquifer, Aistrup isn’t advocating for government intervention.

“It’s pretty clear that topdown government solutions don’t work for solving common pool problems,” he said.

“The solution really does have to come from the farmers.”

Even with a healthy replenishing rate of a half an inch a year (which hasn’t occurred during the dry years), it would take “several lifetimes” for the aquifer to be fully replenished, Wilson said.

The aquifer won’t technically dry up. The main concern is that farmers won’t be able to pump enough water to irrigate crops. Without the water, farmers would be forced to change their operations and perhaps what crops they grow.

Aistrup isn’t sure what that solution is, but he is among those who hope the beginnings of one will be unearthed at Thursday’s summit.

“There are some people who have up to a hundred years of water left to use if they kept on using it. And others have less than five years,” he said. “So we are talking about a pretty big variation. Finding a solution for all that variation is not always easy. And it won’t be easy.”

potentially harmful developments — dragging down their property values, threatening their safety and otherwise disturbing their rural way of life.

“This is a shadow that is spreading across all property owners in this area,” said Darrel Ward, who lives along the north side of the Farmer’s Turnpike, on a farm where he grew up, directly across from the Rothwells’ land. “Unless we sell to a developer, we’re out of luck. … We’re really boxed into a corner on this.”

Matt Todd, attorney for the Rothwells, urged commissioners to follow the community’s needs and plans. The property is within Lawrence’s defined Urban Growth Area and is specifically identified for industrial uses in a sector plan that is included in Horizon 2020, the county’s own comprehensive land-use guide.

TOWN TALK

Civility focus of meetings Here’s a portion of City Hall reporter Chad Lawhorn’s online column, Town Talk.

For more city and businessrelated information like this, visit LJWorld.com.

Lessons about please and thank you and a textbook written by Miss Manners. Soon, community leaders may find themselves in such a class.

Today, members of the business community and several neighborhood groups will participate in focus groups designed to figure out whether Lawrence has a problem with civility. Consensus, which is a nonprofit group based out of Kansas City, will be conducting the focus groups. The effort follows up on a project the group conducted in Kansas City — dubbed The Civility Project.

Some of the members of the Kansas City group knew leaders in Lawrence and suggested that an effort be launched here. The Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, the local United Way and individuals at the Kansas University School of Journalism all have played a role in setting up the focus groups.

“We were looking for a community where people are really engaged and active in the community,” said Jennifer Wilding, director of the organization. “That certainly seems to be true in Lawrence.”

Tom Kern, president and CEO of the chamber, said he’s not sure Lawrence has a civility problem, but he’s not sure that it doesn’t either.

“The issue does get raised occasionally,” Kern said.

Kern said there have been concerns that if a person or group steps up to take a stand contrary to the prevailing opinion, they will be criticized not only for their ideas but also as a person.

“We have heard some feedback that people don’t feel comfortable coming forward and expressing their opinion,” Kern said. “With this exercise, we are just asking whether we are really open to hear other voices, and do we allow them to have equal time on the stage?”

Evidently, the business community has quite a bit to say on the subject. Kern sent an email a week or so ago asking for about a dozen volunteers for the chamber focus group. He got about 40 volunteers. Other organizations that Consensus hopes to have focus groups with include the Lawrence Association of Neighborhoods, public officials, senior citizens, school site councils, members of black churches and rural residents.

The group expects to wrap up the focus groups in the next couple of weeks, and then it will decide whether there is interest in the community for a larger project.

That project may focus on how the public process in the community could be changed to better promote civility.

“We want a process to bring out the best in us and let us be the nice people we want to be,” Wilding said.

The group will present its findings at a Sept. 27 event at the Dole Institute of Politics.

Tour event to raise funds for girl in accident Kief’s Audio/Video, 2429 Iowa, will host its annual Tour de France party Friday evening.

The event, from 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., will feature big-screen televisions to watch the race — as well as refreshments, door prizes and analysis about the race from Tour de France experts.

In addition, Friday’s event will serve as a fundraiser for 13-year-old Mikal Bond, a Maple Hill girl who was seriously injured during a July 10 bicycle ride in Douglas County.

Donations at the event will be forwarded to a fund that will assist with Mikal’s recovery.

If you can’t make Friday’s event and want to help Mikal’s family with her medical costs, donations also are being accepted through the Mikal Bond Fund in care of Community National Bank, 5431 SW 29th St., Topeka, KS 66614.

Donations also can be taken to any bank branch in Topeka.

If debt deal near, Obama would OK stopgap measure

By Ben Feller Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON — Running out of time, President Barack Obama softened his stand and signaled Wednesday he would back a short-term deal to prevent a disastrous financial default on Aug. 2, but only if a larger and still elusive deficitcutting agreement was essentially in place. He called lawmakers to the White House in a scramble to find enough votes from both Republicans and his own party.

Obama met with the Democratic leaders of the House and Senate, and then separately with House Speaker John Boehner and his deputy, Majority Leader Eric Cantor, in hopes of cobbling together a big compromise. All signs pointed to a legislative fight that would play out to the end.

The president, pushing for a deal that would cut the nation’s budget deficit across the next decade and extend the government’s tapped-out borrowing power through the approaching election year, had threatened to veto any stopgap expansion of the nation’s debt limit. He even challenged Can-

Obama’s now-calibrated position, offered by spokesman Jay Carney, reflected the reality: leaders are nearly out of time to head off unprecedented trouble.

Carney said if a divided Congress and the White House can agree on a significant

deal, Obama would accept a “very short-term extension” of the debt limit to let bigger legislation work its way through Congress.

Even a few days matters, given the stakes.

The government will exhaust its ability to borrow money and pay its bills come Aug. 2, an outcome that could sink the country back into

recession, halt Social Security checks, send interest rates higher and erode the creditworthiness of the richest nation on earth.

The White House made clear Obama still opposes a short-term extension of the debt limit on the order of 30 days or more on the grounds that would just punt the problem. He reiterated that views in his meetings with lawmakers, a Democrat familiar with the talks said.

An aide to Boehner, ROhio, said the Republican leaders and the president will continue to talk, but no meeting had been scheduled.

Those familiar with the talks spoke on condition of anonymity to disclose details of the private discussions at the White House. All sides were keeping information tight as time slips by and negotiations grow sensitive.

KU students perform in Eutin

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

ONLINE: Watch the video at LJWorld.com.

Members of Kansas University’s School of Music are in Germany for the summer, working on the performances of two operas at a music festival in Eutin, Germany, Lawrence’s sister city.

Music graduate students are involved in two operas in Germany — “Hänsel und Gretel” and “Don Giovanni” — as part of the music festival.

KU students are acting in “Hänsel und Gretel” and are serving as the orchestra for the performances of “Don Giovanni.”

The KU delegation also includes Robert Walzel, the dean of the music school, and David Neely, the KU orches-

tra director.

“The whole project we are involved in involves a certain degree of risk,” said Frank Baron, a KU German professor who is involved with the Friends of Eutin group in Lawrence.

It’s risky because the move was designed as a way to invigorate interest in the festival in Eutin, which is now in its 61st year. Previous festivals have featured professional musicians, and organizers didn’t know how crowds would respond to the KU delegation.

But so far, crowds have been very welcoming and gave an ovation to the orchestra at a recent performance after they were invited onstage, which is rare for these types of performances, Baron said.

Members of the KU delega-

tion have their travel and lodging expenses paid but don’t receive compensation for performing in the festival, he said.

Martin Vollertsen, president of the Friends of Lawrence group in Eutin, attended one of the performances and said the reception there has been “wonderful.”

“I think it was a great success, and the newspaper articles have been great,” he said.

A previous well-received concert in January helped lay the foundation for the musicians’ appearance this summer, he said.

The KU delegation will continue to perform in Eutin through the beginning of August.

BUSINESS AT A GLANCE

Notable ● China, a country known for its rampant piracy, has now reached a new milestone — fake Apple stores.

An American blogger who lives in Kunming in southern Yunnan province said Thursday that she stumbled on three shops masquerading as bona fide Apple stores a few days ago.

She says the employees told her they worked for Apple. She posted photos online showing the employees wearing blue Apple T-shirts.

Apple has four company stores in China as well as various authorized resellers, who are not allowed to be Apple replicas.

American orders planes from Boeing, Airbus

By David Koenig Associated Press Writer

FORT WORTH, TEXAS — American Airlines is revamping its fleet with a record order for at least 460 new jets, a move it says will save fuel and give passengers a quieter, more comfortable ride.

The airline pulled off the deal by convincing rival aircraft makers Airbus and Boeing to provide generous financing. American said the new planes will make its fleet the youngest among major U.S. airlines within five years.

“This is almost American rebranding itself,” said aviation consultant Darryl Jenkins. “Before, they were old and tired, and now they’re going to be young and energetic.”

The deal was a bold stroke from a management team that has been roundly criticized on Wall Street for lacking new ideas as it lost $4.8 billion and slid from world’s biggest airline to No. 3 in the U.S. in just over three years.

Now the question for American is whether new planes that start showing up in two years will turn the tide — not only by cutting fuel use, but by attracting passengers who have become familiar with its older, noisier planes.

American announced Wednesday that it will order 260 planes from Airbus and 200 from rival Boeing Co., and take options to buy 465 more.

The twin deal is a major coup for Europe’s Airbus, which will break Boeing’s exclusive grip on American’s fleet. Airbus hadn’t won an order from American since the 1980s.

Boeing salvaged one of its biggest sales ever — a huge consolation considering that the Chicago-based company was in danger of losing the whole order to Airbus.

The jets carry a sticker price of more than $38 billion.

Big airlines regularly get discounts, and analysts assumed that American pitted Airbus and Boeing against each other to drive down prices.

The buzz around the order was so strong on Wednesday that it nearly drowned out word that American’s parent, AMR Corp., decided to spin off its American Eagle regional airline in a cost-cutting move.

And the hoopla obscured more bad news on the financial front for AMR and American. AMR reported that it lost $286 million in the second quarter, as rising fuel prices wiped out an increase in revenue. The loss was wider than analysts expected.

on what it will take to muster enough votes from both parties to muscle legislation through the House and Senate and raise the national debt limit. Congressional leaders say they want to prevent default, but they are far from agreed on how.

The divided-by-party nature of Obama’s negotiations underscored his need to get a bottom line from Democrats in both chambers and the leaders of the Republican-run House.

His challenge with fellow Democrats is to persuade them to accept changes to the popular entitlement programs of Medicare and Social Security. With Republicans, Obama is slamming into opposition from conservatives who refuse to consider tax increases. Obama wants a mixed approach of higher taxes on the wealthy and spending cuts that share the pain.

Tow troubles State and local officials should seek additional ways to protect consumers from unreasonable charges from towing companies.

M

otorists with cars that have broken down or been involved in an accident need to get their vehicles off the street and towed for repairs. But whom do you call for a tow in Douglas County?

If you don’t have a preferred service, Douglas County emergency dispatchers can call a towing company from a rotating list of 10 companies. Each company charges a different rate and some charge more for additional services, such as cleaning glass from the accident scene. Total charges can vary from $100 to $900 or more.

It’s legal and how things work in most states because there is no regulation of towing fees.

A 1995 federal law — the Motor Carrier Act — prohibits states from putting limits on towing charges.

While the federal law doesn’t allow governments to get involved in price setting, California and Florida lawmakers have set regulations that help keep towing fees in line. Glenn Neal, executive director of the California Trucking Association, said companies on rotation lists must keep their charges within 15 percent of other services on the list. The regulations help keep prices competitive and fair, he said.

Tow services in Douglas County must meet some basic requirements to get on the rotation list, but the county has no power to take a company off the list even if officials get complaints about service or fees, said County Administrator Craig Weinaug.

But when informed this week of the California and Florida laws, Weinaug said he was interested.

The concern is that some services may take advantage of motorists who are in stress following an accident. Few people have the phone number of their favorite tow company programmed into their cell phones, let alone know the going rate for a tow.

Perhaps patrol officers could have a card they could present to motorists with suggested questions to ask a tow company about cost and services before their vehicle is towed.

That would lead to fewer surprises later when the motorist tries to pick up the vehicle.

But most important, Kansas should follow the lead of California and Florida to approve regulations to protect consumers who find themselves in need of a tow service.

U.S. ponders strategy to support Syria WASHINGTON — As the Obama administration steps up its support for regime change in Syria, the Arab Spring is moving into what could be its hottest phase.

The puzzle is how to help the Syrian opposition gain power without foreign military intervention — and without triggering sectarian massacres inside the country.

For months, as protests mounted in Syria, President Obama waited to see if Bashar alAssad could deliver on his talk of reform. Last week, the administration all but gave up on him and switched gears — and began working actively for a transition to a new, democratic regime.

The new policy was signaled

by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s blunt statement on July 11 that Assad had “lost legitimacy” and that “our goal is ... a democratic transformation.”

Clinton has left the door open slightly for reformers within the Assad regime. Last Saturday in Istanbul, she urged “an opposition that can provide a pathway, hopefully in peaceful cooperation with the government, to a better future.” The administration is closely monitoring “who in the current power structure might be amenable to a transition,” says a senior White House official.

A second White House official summarizes the new approach this way: “The Assad ship is sinking. The most important thing is to get people to realize this, so

David Ignatius davidignatius@washpost.com

“

The administration wants to encourage the Syrian opposition inside the country to unite, develop a clear agenda and build an inclusive leadership.” that, hopefully, they will jump off the ship and get on the lifeboat.”

For the United States, this means working with Syrian dissidents, and also with Turkey and other regional powers that can help broker change.

The administration wants to encourage the Syrian opposition inside the country to unite, develop a clear agenda and build an inclusive leadership. Leading that effort is Robert Ford, the U.S. ambassador in Damascus; an administration official describes him as a “vehicle for transition.” In meetings with dissidents, Ford is said to have stressed that the opposition must reach out to minorities, such as Christians, Druze and Alawites, who fear a post-Assad regime will be dominated by the

Muslim Brotherhood.

With U.S. encouragement, the opposition hopes to hold a meeting inside Syria over the next several weeks to frame a unified agenda. The opposition tried to hold such an internal gathering last week, in coordination with an exile meeting in Istanbul of the so-called National Salvation Council, but Syrian authorities blocked it.

A road map for the opposition was sketched in an interview by Radwan Ziadeh, a visiting scholar at George Washington University who closely follows the dissident groups. He said he has contacted people who might attend the planned meeting inside Syria, including prominent human-rights activists Riad al-Seif and Walid al-Bunni, as well as Druze, Christian and Alawite figures he named. The aim, said Ziadeh, was “solid leadership that can emerge inside the country” and draft a new “Damascus Declaration” as a platform for transition.

Assad still talks of his desire for new reform laws. But U.S. officials say he has supported (or acceded to) hard-liners led by his brother Maher, who is commander of the Republican Guard, and Hafez Makhlouf, a cousin who heads other security forces.

The Syrian equation is shaped by two “X-factors.” The first is whether the army will split, with influential officers moving away from the regime. A harbinger came last weekend when defect-

ing soldiers gathered in the town of Abu Kamal in eastern Syria.

Government tanks surrounded the protesters, and a bloody shootout appeared imminent, but local tribal leaders worked out a truce. U.S. intelligence analysts expect there will be more military defections as the pressure on Assad increases.

The second wild card is sectarian violence between dissident Sunnis and the ruling Alawite minority. The latest grim warning came on Sunday and Monday, when the United States estimates that 15 to 30 Syrians were killed in ethnic fighting in Homs. A White House official called those reports “really worrisome.”

The strategic stakes are high in Syria partly because Assad is allying himself ever more closely with the stridently anti-Western regime in Iran. White House officials last week were circulating a news report that Iran had pledged $5.8 billion in emergency aid to Assad’s regime. Tehran and Damascus may once have pretended that they supported the Arab Spring, but no longer. If Assad falls to citizen protest, the Iranians know they will be the next target.

Obama’s judgment is that “Assad is a guy who has taken all the wrong steps in response to protest,” says a White House official. The thinking in Washington now is about getting to the postAssad era, quickly and peacefully.

PUBLIC FORUM

For all of us To the editor: Toward the end of the rally in support of keeping our local SRS office open last Saturday, Sen. Tom Holland asked those who are the beneficiaries of SRS services to come to the front as he strummed and sang Woody Guthrie’s “This Land Is Your Land” with the crowd.

I stood there for a moment, thinking: We all have these services to fall back on, should Lady Luck abandon us, even for a moment. So, wouldn’t we all be beneficiaries?

Then the thought that drew me inexorably to the fore: We’re not doing this for those people, we’re doing this with them — for us all.

These services, and the dedicated people who perform them, do for us what we can’t do alone. They help those who require more than their families can provide. They’re there for any of us, in the event we find ourselves with more challenges than means to meet them. Have you ever known life without this safety net?

Just knowing that someone cares

enough to be there is far more powerful than you might think.

I invite you to take the journey, from the audience to the front of the crowd (imagine how it would feel, standing there for all the world to judge) not because it’s best for you, or even for “them,” but because it’s best for everyone.

Please, take that chance. Step forward to stand beside your fellow citizens, where you belong ... where we all belong.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for July 21, 1911: YEARS "More rain fell AGO this afternoon and IN 1911 the indications are for more moisture this evening. There were light showers at intervals almost all day and it is quite evident that the drought in Kansas is no more for 1911."

"Dr. Simmons yesterday removed a needle from the hand of Miss Agnes Gray that had been lodged in the girl's hand for six months. The girl was washing some clothes when a needle in one of the garments was entirely buried in her hand. It caused her considerable pain but was not removed until yesterday."

Now Delivering For Lunch!

Report: Berglund charged with assault

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Matt Tait

mtait@ljworld.com

Jayhawks’ schedule not kind We’re approaching the end of July — like it or not — and now is the time that many fans start seriously scouting the season ahead and gearing up to make their predictions that can make or break their status as true sports fans with their friends.

Seeing how the Kansas University football team has yet to report to preseason camp and still has unanswered questions about which players will be on the field, I’ll save my official prediction for a little later this summer.

But for those who can’t wait that long or need help formulating your picks, here’s a quick look at a few facts that might help. *Warning: The following information may help you make a sound prediction but won’t do much for your hopes of a strong season from the Jayhawks this fall. Proceed with caution.* By now, you’re surely aware that the Jayhawks will play all nine other schools that remain in the new-look Big 12. No more North against North or South against South. From here on out, it’s everybody against everybody, winner take all. For the most part, I love that. For the Jayhawks, I don’t.

Sure we know that KU will have to play Oklahoma and Texas and Oklahoma State and Texas A&M and, well, you get it. But add to that a good Northern Illinois team in Week 2 and a road game against Georgia Tech in Week 3 and you’re staring at the 26th toughest schedule in the country, according to college football analyst Phil Steele.

One quick note before diving in further: Steele makes sure to point out in his breakdown that his strength of schedule numbers are based on the make-up of this year’s teams and not the records from 2010. More on that a little later.

Amazingly, KU’s standing at No. 26 in the nation only comes in at No. 7 in its own conference. Iowa State (2), Baylor (3), Oklahoma State (18), Missouri (19), Texas A&M (22) and Oklahoma (25) all rank ahead of KU. Get this: KU barely avoided finishing eighth in the Big 12, as KState landed just one spot behind them in 27th.

Texas (31) and Texas Tech (50) round out the rest of the conference on Steele’s list, putting all 10 Big 12 teams in the Top 50 in terms of toughest schedules in the country in 2011.

How’s that for an indication of how good the league is this year? Yikes.

For a quick comparison, consider that KU’s 2010 schedule ranked as the 48th toughest in the country, good for eighth in the 12-team league.

Now, about that distinction between the strength of this year’s teams versus last year’s records, Steele addresses that, as well. On his list of schools facing the toughest schedule in terms of the opponents’ winloss records from 2010, KU ranks third in the country.

KU’s 2011 opponents combined for 97 victories and 57 losses in 2010, good for a winning percentage of 63 percent.

Only Clemson (104-54, 65.8%) and Baylor (96-56, 63.2%) are facing a bigger bunch of winners.

It’s hard to know what to make of this in late July. Things change, breaks happen and a couple of teams almost always show up and surprise people.

One thing that won’t come as much of a surprise for the Jayhawks this year will be staring down talented teams on the opposite sideline. They’ll be doing it just about every week.

Berglund has been charged with third-degree assault in Douglas County, Colo., according to a KCTV5 report

According to a KCTV5 report Wednesday night, Kansas University freshman quarterback Brock Berglund, of Highlands Ranch, Colo., was away from the football team this spring and summer because he was facing assault charges back home.

The report said Berglund, a three-star QB from Valor Christian High who was ranked as the 13th best dual-threat quarterback in the country, has been charged with third-degree assault in Douglas County,

Colo., and is scheduled to attend a pre-trial conference.

Acco rd i n g to t h e re p o r t , Berglund allegedly threw a punch while defending his girlf r i e n d , wh o wa s b e i n g harassed. The police report said alcohol was not believed to be a factor.

KU football coach Turner Gill, who returned from a trip overseas Wednesday afternoon, released the following statement regarding the incident: “We are aware of the situation involving Brock Berglund. We are going to let the legal process run its course. We will also handle it

appropriately internally here at KU.” Berglund originally committed to Colorado during his senior season at Valor Christian but later changed his mind and joined the Jayhawks after CU fired coach Dan Hawkins and replaced him with Jon Embree.

Berglund graduated high school early and enrolled at KU last December. He arrived on campus in January and began taking classes but quickly returned to Colorado because of what the university called “personal circumstances.”

At the time, Berglund said: “I am committed to being a part of the Kansas football program and am excited to join my teammates this summer.”

He reaffirmed his commitment a little more than a week ago when he sent a text message to the Journal-World that proclaimed, “100% a Jayhawk.”

Since that time, however, sources have said that Berglund has not been present at voluntary summer workouts and has continued to deal with legal issues back in Colorado.

Players are scheduled to report for preseason camp Aug. 3.

BIG 12 FOOTBALL

Sooners picked to repeat

Tony Gutierrez/AP File Photo

OKLAHOMA PLAYERS CELEBRATE following their 23-20 victory over Nebraska in the Big 12 college football championship game Dec. 4, 2010, in Arlington, Texas. The Sooners were picked to finish first in the Big 12 preseason poll.

OU voted No. 1 in preseason poll; KU last J-W Staff Reports

Losing a couple of teams in the offseason apparently has done nothing to change the landscape of the race for the Big 12 football title.

Wednesday, the Big 12 released the results of its preseason poll, and, for the 10th time since the inception of the conference, Bob Stoops’ Oklahoma football team has been picked first.

This, of course, marks the first time that the Sooners have been voted as outright champions, something made possible by the departure of Nebraska (to the Big Ten) and Colorado (to the Pac-12) earlier this year. During the other nine seasons when the Sooners saw a No. 1 next to their name, they simply were selected to finish first in the South. But with the conference moving away from the divisional format, all 10 members now make up one conference, and the Sooners are overwhelmingly the favorites to win the first such conference crown.

OU received 41 first-place votes — including all four from JournalWorld staff members who voted — and totaled 428 points to easily finish ahead of Texas A&M in the voting.

The Aggies came in second with 362 points, edging out Oklahoma State by just two points. A&M and OSU each received one first-place vote. They were the only two schools other than OU to do so.

Missouri (281) and Texas (265) rounded out the top five, with Baylor (194), Texas Tech (191), Kansas State (140), Iowa State (93) and Kansas (51) finishing off the list.

Kansas being picked to finish last comes as little surprise. Its 51point total indicates that voters had nearly as easy a time penciling in their 10th-place team as they did their first-place squad.

KU enters 2011 after a 3-9 season in which its only conference victory came against Colorado in a wild, 52-45 victory that went down as the greatest comeback in school history. Eight of the other nine teams that remain in the conference won at least three league games last year with only Texas (26) coming close to matching KU’s 1-7 mark.

While most are quick to say that preseason polls don’t mean much, Oklahoma has shown during the Big 12 era that it takes the cream-

KU hoops coach Self hitting recruiting trail

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self maintained a rather hectic schedule during the first 10 days of the July basketball recruiting period.

“It wasn’t that grueling (but) I Self plans to travel went to a lot of places. I went to Las Vegas, from Indy (Indianapolis) to Orlando, Fla., and Akron to Indy to St. Louis to Dallas to Augusta (S.C.) to MilK.C. next

waukee to Minneapolis and then back here,” Self said of his travels to AAU tournaments from July 6-15. After a short break, he’ll be back on the road from July 2231.

“I had some help with the school plane or I couldn’t have made all those trips,” said Self, who will finish the recruiting period at events in Las Vegas, Orlando, Fla., and Kansas City.

“We’ll definitely be in one

place for longer periods of time,” he added.

Self can’t discuss specific KU targets in accordance with NCAA rules. On Wednesday, from the comforts of his office, he was willing to address recruiting in general, however.

“We believe we are actually in pretty good shape early. Of course, you never know what will happen,” Self said. “I really like the guys we are recruiting.

We’re going into it with the mindset we know we have three scholarships to give, and that number could obviously be increased based on the potential for guys to leave (for NBA) early.

“We are going to be prepared to sign at least four guys to fill some specific needs to go with the team we have returning the following year on paper.”

| SPORTS WRAP | NFL Players didn’t vote Wednesday WASHINGTON — NFL players didn’t vote Wednesday on a full proposal to settle the league’s labor dispute, citing several outstanding issues, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press.

The person said there was agreement among representatives of all 32 clubs on what items needed to be resolved before any offer would be accepted. A second person, also speaking on condition of anonymity because the talks are supposed to be secret, said those players gave what was termed “conditional approval” of the proposal — as it stood Wednesday.

GOLF Woods fires longtime caddie Jacksonville, Fla. — Tiger Woods and Steve Williams were together for 12 years and some 250 tournaments, a player-caddie relationship that produced 72 wins, 13 majors and a friendship so strong that each served in the other’s wedding.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL Ivy League limits contact drills NEWARK, N.J. — In an effort to reduce the number of concussions and subconcussive hits, Ivy League football teams will be allowed to have just two full-contact practices a week, three less than the NCAA allows.

COLLEGE ATHLETICS Slive outlines possible reforms HOOVER, ALA. — SEC Commissioner Mike Slive said recent headlines across the country have laid bare the darker side of major college sports so much that they have “lost the benefit of the doubt.”

With that in mind, Slive opened Southeastern Conference media days Wednesday by outlining some proposals for change across the NCAA in everything from raising academic requirements for incoming freshmen to paying athletes the full cost of scholarships.

from what was known as the Big 12 North.

Only Missouri (fourth, 281 points) was picked to finish in the top half of the league, with KSU, ISU and KU filling out the bottom three spots.

In years past, the teams in the North only had to beat out each other to earn a spot in the conference title game, where they would take on the South champion in a w i n n e r - t a ke - a l l ga m e i n which the victor automatically advanced to a BCS bowl.

The road to BCS glory certainly has gotten a lot bumpier for those four as well as the rest of the conference.

“I want the best players we can get, period,” Self said. “It doesn’t make any difference to me what the ratings say.

The ratings ... absolutely anybody that’s ever watched one game of basketball could probably tell you that the top five guys rated are pretty good. You usually don’t have a roster full of top five guys at all spots. It’s getting the pieces to fit, getting guys you can

look at and see how they can develop within your system and individually.

“Certainly we feel we’ve done a good job recruiting since we’ve been here, but certainly we know this is a crucial recruiting year coming up.”

Self said he’s enjoyed the NCAA-mandated breather this week.

“It was a good break. We were able to run down a lot of the kids we’ve been recruiting that we’ve watched and followed and let them know of our interest level and see what theirs is,” Self said of a week in which phone calls were allowed by the NCAA Yet he’s ready to get back to the grind in Vegas and Florida.

“It’s basically all in the gym.

You may have free time of an hour between games that you need to watch, or something like that,” Self said. “There’s not a lot of free time.”

As far as time spent in the

gym ... Self said he does not go out of his way to meet with rival coaches.

“You don’t go with the idea of visiting. You go with the idea of watching,” Self said.

“There’s not any one coach I try to sit with or do anything like that except our coaches.

When we are sitting there watching our guys I want to sit with them,” he added of Joe Dooley, Kurtis Townsend and Danny Manning, also allowed to hit the road recruiting in July.

The KU coaches actually might spend a little bit less time on the road next July.

The NCAA is thinking about altering the recruiting calendar.

“I think there will be some modifications, which I do think could possibly be very good for everybody,” Self said.

“Maybe reduce the number of days in July, but give us some of those days back in April. I think that would be a positive.”

If, as they say, half of life is just showing up, the CW is in trouble. It's decided not to show up at all and to rebroadcast summer filler from last July! What if CBS decided to repeat last year's "Big Brother"?

Would anybody watch? Maybe the CW figured nobody watched its shows in the first place.ˇ That said, "Plain Jane" (8 p.m., CW) is not half bad. "Jane" is hosted by fashion expert Louise Roe, who, like every expert on TV for the past decade, sports a British accent. In every episode, a nice, shy fashion disaster with self-esteem issues sends Roe an Internet video and begs to be saved from lonely Saturday nights.

"Jane" is based on the premise of any number of cookiecutter chick flicks about dowdy damsels too timid and insecure to express their love to the guy they've had a crush on for eons. As reality series go, this isn't a terrible idea. It's "makeover series meets Jane Austen novel." But the network obviously didn't have enough faith in the idea to churn out a few new ones for the summer of 2011.

Maybe it just thinks the show is like an old paperback you find in a summer rental house. Not your first choice for a beach read or a summer distraction, but it will do.ˇ ● Tonight's "Titans" (8 p.m., CNBC) profiles musician, arranger and business leader Quincy Jones, a prime mover in the culture business for six decades and counting. An arranger for the Count Basie Orchestra, he worked with Frank Sinatra among other greats. He produced Michael Jackson's "Thriller," still the biggest-selling recording of all time. Like leaders of any industry, he'll also be remembered by the talent he discovered. And in Jones' case, those proteges — most notably Will Smith and Oprah Winfrey — have done quite well.

Tonight’s other highlights ● "So You Think You Can Dance" (7 p.m., Fox), "Glee" (8 p.m., Fox). ● Michael and Holly's public canoodling puts everyone else on edge on "The Office" (8 p.m., NBC). ● Michael figures prominently in a murder investigation on "Burn Notice" (8 p.m., USA). ● Jack frets about his baby's citizenship on "30 Rock" (8:30 p.m., NBC). ● Murder in the antiques trade on "The Mentalist" (9 p.m., CBS). ● Bedbug apocalypse on "Love Bites" (9 p.m., NBC). ● Trapped in a meth lab on "Rookie Blue" (9 p.m., ABC). ● An old friend arrives in need on "Suits" (9 p.m., USA). ● Charity work on "Wilfred" (9 p.m., FX). ● Visiting relatives on "Louie" (9:30 p.m., FX). ● Young people turn to dealing in "True Life: I'm in the Marijuana Business" (9 p.m., MTV).

Cult choice Children search for hidden treasure in the 1985 fantasy "The Goonies" (5 p.m., ABC Family), featuring a notable cast, including Josh Brolin ("True Grit"), Sean Astin ("Lord of the Rings"), Martha Plimpton ("Raising Hope"), Corey Feldman and Joe Pantoliano ("The Sopranos").

Dear Annie: I am worried about my 79-year-old father.

My mother died two years ago, and my brother and I regularly see Dad and invite him for dinner and to other events.

But he’s still lonely for female companionship.

Six months ago, Dad began a relationship with “Corina,” a 33-year-old ex-prostitute with a toddler. Dad says they are in love. We want him to be happy, but we’re worried. Last week, Corina got drunk and hit my father. She’s already been in jail for other reasons in the past, and Dad didn’t want to turn her in.

Dad bought Corina a car and let her move in with him.

She doesn’t have a job. She’s home with her child all day.

Meanwhile, my parents’ house is a mess, and we’ve found cigarette ashes and wine bottles all over.

We have spoken to law enforcement and Dad’s doctor. No one can do anything because Dad is in sound mental health, and he refuses to press charges, so no laws are being broken. He’s already given her most of his savings, and now we’re worried he’ll lose his home.
