Kansas exported $9.93 billion worth of goods overseas last year, made by 2,747 companies.

Letters released recently by Kansas University show the wide variety of ways people can get banned from the campus.

Jill Jess, a university spokeswoman, said that KU banned 42 people in 2010 and 28 people through early July of this year.

Some of those were banned from the entire campus, but the majority were only for parts of campus, she said.

Under a Kansas Board of Regents policy, the university can ban faculty, staff, students or visitors for activity that obstructs the function of the university or creates an imminent threat or danger to people or property.

The Journal-World filed an open records request to obtain the letters KU sent to people that were banned. KU didn’t release any letters that had been sent to students, citing a federal law that protects student records from disclosure.

The university also blacked out the names of the nonstudents who were banned, along with some other information.

But what they did release provides a glimpse at the kind of activity that can get you barred from stepping foot on the university grounds, at least for a limited duration.

Many of the letters simply stated that a person had been banned from student housing facilities for violating drug or weapons policy, or for criminal behavior. But some of the letters describe more unusual cases. ● One person owed $1,679.37 to KU after last having been enrolled at KU in 2007 and was not allowed to re-enroll or obtain services until the bill was paid. In February 2010, KU found that the person had been attending a class and demanding that the work done for the class be graded.

Later, the same person had been “appearing at various Student Success offices demanding services including readmission, f inancial aid and housing,” according to the letter.

In August, the person again demanded to be readmitted at

‘Made in Kansas’ a mighty label ————

State a global powerhouse in agricultural, manufacturing, aviation industries Editor’s note: This is one in a series of occasional stories written in conjunction with Kansas’ 150th birthday.

Kansas provides the world with flour, planes, beef and amusement rides.

Kansas-made products include the brown paperboard used in making toilet paper tubes, refrigerated dough cans and paper party plates.

We make the aerosol cans for insecticides, the contain-

ers for pop-up sanitizing wipes and the food our dogs and cats eat, as well as the steaks on our table — or hamburger, depending on how the recession has affected your pocketbook.

We tell people where to go and how to get there — because Garmin, which makes Nuvi and other GPS devices, originated with Kansan Gary Burrell.

We give the world much of its sweetness. We have Russell Stover candies, and we will soon be mass-producing M&Ms and Snicker

Bars at the Mars Chocolate North America plant in Topeka.

From bullet clips to poker chip weights, Kansas-made products are pretty much everywhere.

Midnight Farm volunteer helps horses work miracles

By Micki Chestnut Special to the Journal-World

There’s something almost magical about the therapy horses at Community Living Opportunities’ Midnight Farm in Baldwin City — the way they soothe, encourage and delight their riders — that captivates Leann Williams.

It’s the reason she’s volunteered more than 400 hours at Midnight Farm since the program was launched in 2009, working as a sidewalker and horse leader in the equestrian program for children and adults with special needs.

Williams can’t get enough of the daily miracles: seeing someone who had never talked before begin to speak once astride a therapy horse. Watch-

ing riders who were petrified of the 1,000-pound beasts relax — and even laugh — when riding, gaining much-needed selfconfidence they will draw upon in the future. Witnessing children and adults who are used to looking up at the world from the confines of a wheelchair enjoy a new view from atop a horse with everyone looking up at them for a change.

“There is something about people and horses,” Williams says.

Bonnie Bruns, volunteer coordinator for Midnight Farm, might add, “There’s something about Leann Williams and people and horses.” Bruns is so amazed by Williams’ ability to work with horses and special-needs rid-

ers, her dedication and reliability, her willingness to do anything that needs to be done on the farm and her unflappable cheerful nature, that Bruns nominated Williams for the 2010 Wallace Galluzzi Outstanding Volunteer Award, given annually by the United Way Roger Hill Volunteer Center.

“How the leader feels about the horses and the riders can really impact how the horse behaves in class and how the lesson goes for the rider,” Bruns explains. “Leann is always positive and caring for the horse and rider, and that transmits to both. It makes the lesson a special time for the riders.”

“When we started expanding, the people were so much better than what we found in California,” Comeau said.

“Kansans have a work ethic; they trust and are loyal. Those were all attributes we needed.

“And that translates to customers. The customers need realistic and caring people on the phone. This business has been able to grow because of the quality of people in Kansas.”

In a 2005 poll conducted by House & Garden magazine of the nation’s top interior designers, Dessin Fournir was voted one of the top three furniture design and manufacturing firms.

Kassem, owner of Acoustic Sounds, Quality Record Pressings and Blue Heaven Studios in Salina. He makes high-quality vinyl LPs at one of only three places in the nation to do so.

“People say, ‘Salina? You are in the middle of nowhere.’ But I tell them, ‘No, in Kansas you are in the middle of everywhere.’”

He has the vision, the passion and the sometimes cantankerous spirit that’s marked many other Kansans.

“I came here with nothing, except what I was making doing minimum wage as a cook,” Kassem said. “I’ve always gone against the grain. … One time they used to say I was only a fool. Now, I’m looking like a genius.”

Started with farming First and foremost, Kansas is an agriculture state.

Always has been.

Because of our vast volume of wheat — nearly a fifth of all wheat grown in the United States is grown in Kansas — we are the largest wheat-producing state in the nation, thus earning us the nicknames “Wheat State” or “Breadbasket of the World.”

But we are also so much more.

“When my grandfather started farming, he had a couple of mules and a plow,” said Kansas Secretary of Commerce Pat George. “Now, we farm with big tractors and equipment, and more often than not, that equipment has been made in Kansas.”

Aircraft, industrial machinery, meat products, cereal and electric machinery all top the list of the state’s most exported industrial sectors. We also are a leading state in pharmaceutical products.

We are first in the nation for exporting civilian aircraft, engines and parts.

We are second in the number of cattle — or meat products — we export, and third for producing dog and cat food.

“Wichita exports over 50 percent of the state’s total exports” by dollar figure, Page said. “We have every reason to be proud.”

Kansas work ethic Talk with most Kansans and there are traits that describe us as workers, Page said. Kansans are known for their humility, resilience, perseverance, self-reliance, imagination, independence, pragmatism, determination and entrepreneurial spirit.

“I wish we would shout about what we do — in our humble way,” Page said. “But we always kind of hang our head.

“We are humble farmers; that’s our historical roots and part of our culture. But we need to humbly and quietly tell people we have some of the best products in the world — not just in the U.S., not just better than Texas — in the world.”

On Chuck Comeau’s website promoting his company, Dessin Fournir in Plainville, he posts this quote from W. Eugene Smith, a worldrenowned photojournalist from Wichita known for his outspokenness and passion: “Passion is in all great searches and is necessary to all creative endeavors.”

It pretty much def ines Comeau. A native of Plainville, Comeau started his furniture, lighting and textiles company in California but chose in the mid-1990s to relocate it in Plainville.

“I never left Plainville; I commuted to southern California,” he said. “But in 1996, I believed that in order for the company to succeed and grow, it needed to be in Kansas.”

He renovated a 1920s car dealership in Plainville, which is 25 miles north of Hays, and moved the company in. It has since expanded to six buildings.

Going global When Kansas off icials landed the contract last month with Mars Chocolate to build a $250 million chocolate production plant in Topeka, the Kansas work ethic helped seal the deal.

“Companies like Mars are looking to move to Kansas,” said George, the Commerce secretary.

“They told us that was one of the things that set Kansas apart. Kansans know how to work. They take pride in their work product.”

The future, George said, will hopefully include more contracts that highlight what Kansas offers.

Agriculture will still be at the forefront.

“We know how to use a tractor and get the most out of our soils,” George said. “But we are also working with Kansas State University in sharing our knowledge. We have relationships with countries who might still be farming the way my grandfather did with mules and looking now to use tractors and equipment. Instead of being protective, we can also be exporting our knowledge.”

In western Kansas, as more dairies are established, there are more chances of locating major companies that use milk in that end of the state, George said.

“It makes sense. Instead of exporting our milk products to Colorado or Texas, companies can cut down on the cost of transportation.”

Kansas aviation is still the gold standard for what we manufacture. Wind energy will also be at the forefront, George said.

“The potential is almost endless,” he said. “We have some of the highest sustained wind of anywhere in the nation. ...

“As soon as we build the transmission lines ... we can export electricity. Plus, we can manufacture the wind turbines. We will become more aggressive in attracting more of those.”

Pharmaceutical breakthroughs could also come from Kansas.

“We have one of the toprated schools of pharmacy in the nation,” George said of Kansas University. “Two of the largest pharmaceutical companies — Bayer and Merck — are located here.

“Not only are we making medicines for humans, but we also have a large presence in the animal science world, through K-State.”

But the best commodity Kansas offers, George said, is found in its people. When people moved to Kansas in the late 19th century, they learned to work hard, or die or leave.

Those who stuck it out were strong.

“The motive to work was so strong,” George said. “It had to be. That work ethic has carried on from generation to generation. We like making things. We like using our hands and taking pride in what we make.

“That’s part of our sales pitch when we meet with companies looking to move to Kansas. We are not being shy or humble about it anymore — that’s part of our story.”

$36 million in the name of helping farmers. Therefore, that $71,000 amounts to about 0.2 percent of the funds raised by the organization. That means Kansans have received less than a quarter of 1 percent of Farm Aid’s revenues. This, in a state with 65,500 farmers.

Before you start firing off letters to Farm Aid President Willie Nelson, know this: It’s not Farm Aid’s fault.

Not entirely, anyway.

The group’s records show that it spends more on salaries than on direct grants. In 2009, Farm Aid spent $525,341 on grants and $633, 503 on salaries and compensation — including more money for its chief financial officer that year than Kansans have ever gotten from the organization.

But those numbers don’t mean farmers aren’t getting aid. They are, by the thousands each year. Just not here.

As an organization, Farm Aid can funnel its funds only through nonprofit groups.

Those nonprofits don’t get their hands on Farm Aid funds simply for being viable. They must apply. Funds won’t magically appear just because an organization is dedicated to Kansas farmers.

And these days, the only folks asking are the folks at Juniper Gardens Farm Business Development program in Kansas City, which received $9,000 during the past two years.

Asking and aid Back in the early 1990s, several people were asking for Farm Aid grants big and small.

The Farm Crisis of the 1980s had given way to several organizations eager to seek Farm Aid funds to help struggling Kansas farmers and ranchers.

The Rural Areas Foundation in Concordia received $8,000 in Farm Aid funds in 1990. The Kansas Swine Growers Association in La Harpe was granted $5,000 in 1993. The Kansas Rural Center, then headed by Lawrence resident Dan Nagengast, received three Farm Aid grants totaling $18,000 from 1992 to 1994.

But the major recipient of Farm Aid grantees was exactly whom Nelson pegged as the perfect vehicle for getting money directly to rural farmers: churches. More specifically, the Kansas Ecumenical Ministries in Topeka, a council of most of the state’s church denominations. KEM, as it was known, received $31,000 from 1990 to 2000.

But then, Kansas groups stopped asking. Or were asking and weren’t receiving. All told, no organization or farmer in Kansas received direct state-level help from Farm Aid for nine years until Cultivate Kansas City received its first Juniper Gardens’ grant — $5,000 — from Farm Aid in 2009.

In the meantime, two of the original groups receiving funds went belly up: the Rural Areas Foundation and the Kansas Swine Growers. The Rural Center is still thriving, but it hasn’t asked for Farm Aid funds since the mid1990s, says Mary Fund, acting executive director.

“We have not handed out money to farmers from them in a long time. Gosh, I can’t even remember the last Farm Aid grant that we had, it was so long ago,” says Fund, who has been with the organization for the better part of three decades.

“We just haven’t applied to them. I’m not sure quite why. I think we got turned down on one and then you just kind of get out of the cycle.”

But the biggest factor in the aid puzzle and its biggest loss was KEM, which was, and still is, the average farmer’s best hope at receiving monetary help in times of personal crisis.

A dissolved web of help Once upon a time, the Christian organization known as KEM worked through pastors in Kansas churches to reach in-need farmers. The idea, says Linda Hessman, was that if a small-town farmer needed help, he wouldn’t broadcast it, but rather, he’d go through his pastor. Or maybe even a pastor the next town over. Those pastors would contact someone like Hessman, who worked as a liaison for a division of the KEM, Interfaith Rural Life, which granted

Priest fills church’s void after test of faith 1 | OHIO

Gunman killed after shooting spree A northeast Ohio man ran through his small town neighborhood Sunday killing seven people, including his girlfriend, before he was shot and killed in an exchange of gunfire with police, authorities said.

Witnesses told reporters at least one of the victims was a child.

Police did not have a motive and did not release the names or ages of the gunman or the victims but provided a chronology of the shootings that began about 11 a.m. in a middle-class neighborhood of Copley, a town of about 14,000 west of Akron.

“A person running through the neighborhood and firing a gun” prompted calls to police, Copley Police Department said in a news release late Sunday. At a home, the gunman shot his girlfriend, ran to a home next door and shot her brother and four others, then chased two people through some yards and shot one of them, police said.

He went into a third home and shot another person before leaving and exchanging gunfire with a police officer and a former police officer.

Despite its odd location in a small commercial center next to a bar on Ninth Street, the St. Nicholas of Myra Orthodox Church isn’t out of the ordinary.

On Sundays, 35 to 50 people cram into the makeshift church to worship. Afterward, the congregation shares a meal.

They value community outreach, preparing food once a

month for the LINK community kitchen.

It’s a tight-knit community.

Many of the adults are close friends, and their children have grown up together.

Perhaps those bonds kept the church together during the last five years, when they did not have a full-time priest.

Out-of-town priests helped fill the void, but members said there was a noticeable difference. The church only held communion twice a month, and the

community lacked the structure and leadership their own priest provided.

Nini Negash, a church member, used to drive an hour to Kansas City to attend a different church.

2 | SYRIA

At least 59 killed as crackdown lingers Syrian troops fired on mourners at a funeral and raided an eastern city Sunday, killing at least 59 people in an intensifying government crackdown on protesters. Outrage was intensifying as well: Syria’s Arab neighbors forcefully joined the international chorus of condemnation against President Bashar Assad’s regime for the first time.

Even the king of Saudi Arabia — whose country does not tolerate dissent and lent its military troops to repress anti-government protests in neighboring Bahrain — harshly criticized the Syrian government and said he was recalling his ambassador in Damascus for consultations.

More than 300 people have died in the past week, the bloodiest in the five-month uprising against Assad’s authoritarian rule. Not all were killed by bullets or tank shells: In the besieged city of Hama, where the government has cut off electricity and communications, a rights group said eight babies died because their incubators lost power.

Cleric vows attacks if U.S. forces stay

Geithner says he will stay at Treasury Timothy Geithner has told President Barack Obama that he will remain on the job as Treasury secretary, ending speculation he would leave the administration.

The Treasury Department released a statement Sunday saying Geithner had informed the president of his decision to remain in the administration.

Geithner is the only remaining top official on Obama’s original economics team.

In late June, people close to GeiGeithner thner said he was considering leaving after the debt limit was raised in August. They said he was tired of commuting to New York, where his son will be finishing up his last year in high school.

homes. Among them is because the construction is a sustainable building practice.

The tightly compacted straw bales insulating the house came from this year’s wheat harvest in Effingham. Along with being an agricultural byproduct, straw bales, if used correctly, provide a level of insulation as high as almost any commercial product on the market, Holman-Hebert said.

The idea of the workshop came from the need to get the garage out of the second story of Holman-Hebert’s straw bale house, which was built nine years ago.

When completed, the shed being built last week will be used to wash and pack eggs and store meat and power tools.

There aren’t many places left where you can watch an antique tractor pull contest or learn the finer points of the horseshoe toss. But if you head to the Vinland Fair, you can do just that.

“What’s interesting about this fair is that it’s all homemade,” said Nora Cleland, publicity chairwoman for the Vinland Fair.

Running Thursday through Saturday, this year’s fair has taken on extra importance for the Vinland community. Last December, the Baldwin City school board Without voted to close Vinland Ele- the Vinland mentary school, this School, which was the rural becomes community’s the last alllast school. community “Without the Vinland school, event we this becomes have.” the last allcommunity — Nora Cleland, event we have,” publicity chairCleland said. woman for the “People get excited about Vinland Fair going because they see people they haven’t seen the rest of the year” The fair is volunteer-run, with community members showing up to officiate contests and bearing homemade pies and homecooked meals to sell. All profits from food sales go toward operation of the fair. The fair also receives $4,000 from Douglas County, which organizers say accounts for just a small portion of its operating costs.

The fair kicks off at 2 p.m.

Thursday with a farming skills contest, which will challenge contestants to drive nails, toss bales and saw logs.

JIM BRABEC, OLATHE, CHECKS THE ATTACHMENT OF STRAW BALES on the outside of the structure being built. About a dozen people gathered in Oskaloosa last week to learn how to build straw bale buildings. BELOW, home owner Phil Holman-Hebert, Oskaloosa, checks the consistency of a clay mixture referred to as “peanut butter” because of its lighter color. The clay is pulled from the excavation for the foundation of the straw building. It will be used to plaster the walls for a finished look.

Workshop teaches sustainable technique

ONLINE: See the video at SunflowerHorizons.com

It was late afternoon on the hottest day the year. And yet, a group of about a half-dozen students and instructors were chatting and laughing as they packed clumps of mud-covered straw between neatly stacked straw bales.

The students were participating in a straw-bale building workshop. The half-built shed was on instructor’s Phil Holman-Hebert’s Sweetlove Farm in Jefferson County.

At the time, four 18-inch thick walls of straw bales were up and framed at the corners with lumber. In between, bamboo rods provided extra support.

Halfway through the six-day workshop, the crews were preparing to plaster the entire building with two inches of a chocolatey, peanut butterbrown clay mixture.

The wind and lack of humidity made that day’s temperature bearable compared with

In wake of school closing, fair holds extra significance

A powerful anti-American Shiite cleric in Iraq with thousands of loyal followers threatened on Sunday that U.S. forces who stay past the Dec. 31 withdrawal deadline are fair game to attack.

Iraqi officials, worried about a potential backlash if U.S. troops remain in the country, have tried to portray any American force that does not withdraw as trainers of the still-growing Iraqi military rather than as combat troops.

While the security situation in Iraq has improved over the past few years, attacks are still commonplace. In June alone, 15 U.S. soldiers were killed, making it the bloodiest month for the U.S. military in Iraq in two years. Nearly all of them were killed in attacks

by Shiite militias bent on forcing out American troops on schedule.

Muqtada al-Sadr’s comments suggested that even a limited training mandate would not be acceptable to his Shiite militia, which has stepped up rocket and bomb attacks against American forces as the December deadline approaches.

And, he added, building with straw bales is just a lot fun, even in triple-digit temperatures.

The person was banned from campus for three years, or until the bill was paid, whichever came first. ● A man was banned from campus for five years in April 2010 after a series of incidents in Watson Library. He came in and was “yelling at patrons and telling them how hard it is to digest food after killing people,” the letter read.

The letter described how he also defecated on the floor of a fourth floor restroom and, with fecal matter on his clothes, asked library patrons if they had any pants he could use.

He then entered Anschutz Library at 1 a.m. and grabbed a library patron’s laptop and threatened to slap him. The person also had an extensive criminal history with the Lawrence police. ● A former employee of the Kansas Memorial Unions was banned from union property for three years after she entered nonpublic areas at the Crimson Cafe in the Burge Union and talked with staff about nonwork-related matters.

She was asked to leave and only agreed to do so after someone threatened to call police. She later revisited the Crimson Cafe dressed in a parka closed around her face, accompanied by a man dressed in his pajamas, and was again reported to be agitated. ● Former Athletic Director Lew Perkins banned a man from entering Kansas Athletics facilities after he entered the Kansas Athletics marketing off ice and was “very aggressive to the staff members and used inappropriate language in their presence.”

Agency: United Way Roger Hill Volunteer Center Location: Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vt. The United Way Roger Hill Volunteer Center will be available to the community during evening hours at the Lawrence Public Library on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month, beginning this Tuesday, from 6-8 p.m. Come chat with an RHVC staff member about how to get involved with local volunteerism, and learn about the most current and urgent volunteer needs in the Lawrence and Douglas County communities.

Immediate needs ● The Lawrence-Douglas County Housing Authority is in need of several volunteers for the New York Elementary Walking School Bus. A Walking School Bus (WSB) is a group of students, with adult supervision, walking along a set route between the school and their homes. It is a fun, healthy and simple alternative to motorized transportation. The New York WSB calls on parents and community members to be volunteer “drivers” and supervise children on their afternoon walk home from school. Volunteers are asked to commit to one day a week (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday or Friday) throughout the fall 2011 semester (Sept. 12-Dec. 16) and will need to be at New York School by 2:30 p.m. on their designated days. All volunteers will fill out an application, undergo a background check and be trained before starting. Additionally, there are two upcoming informational sessions that are open to the public: 6-7 p.m. Aug. 23 and 6-7 p.m. Sept.

13. Both meetings will take place at the Barbara Huppee Community Facility in Edgewood, 1600 Haskell Avenue, No. 149-150. For more information, contact Sarah Madden at 785-331-4418 or smadden@ldcha.org. ● Grassland Heritage Foundation (GHF) is seeking volunteers to help out at its second annual P urple Loosestrife Eradication Day equine therapy. As riders sit astride a horse, following its rolling motion as it walks, they build core strength, flexibility, balance, joint mobility and coordination. Even though she’s witnessed the benefits of equine therapy time and again, Williams was still thrilled to see Corbin grow stronger as a result of his time spent riding.

It’s volunteers like Williams who make such turnaround experiences possible for people with special needs, Bruns says. This fall, Midnight Farm plans to expand its program to serve 70 riders, but to do so it needs more volunteer horse leaders and sidewalkers.

“We have 50 active volun-

on Saturday. Volunteers will help dig out invasive purple loosestrife plants growing near a trailhead at the Kanza Southwind Nature Preserve, 2900 Wildflower Drive. Purple loosestrife has been sold as an ornamental plant in area nurseries, but is very invasive and can easily overtake ponds, streams and other wetlands if it is allowed to become established. GHF needs help eradicating the problem at this Lawrence city park Saturday. Volunteers are asked to bring their own water bottle, shovels and gloves, and to wear sturdy shoes that can get wet and muddy. Water and other refreshments will be provided. This is a rain or shine event, and RSVPs are requested. Contact Kim Bellemere at grassland heritage@gmail.com with questions or to RSVP. ● The Willow Domestic Violence Center is gearing up for an intensive 40-hour volunteer training next week from 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m. Aug. 15 through Aug. 19. This will be an in-depth training for community members who wish to become long-term volunteers for The Willow Domestic Violence Center. If you have been wondering how to get involved with this agency, this is a great opportunity to do so. This training was planned with college students in mind, as it will be happening right before fall 2011 classes begin. If you’re available to attend this training or would like more details about becoming a Willow volunteer, contact Becca Burns at 785-331-2034, ext. 112, or bburns@willowdvcenter.org. ● Trinity In-Home Care is looking for volunteers to help with its upcoming Family Fun Night event Saturday. Volunteers are needed to help distribute fliers about the event to various locations around town by Thursday. Volunteers may deliver fliers to specific businesses based on a list provided by Trinity or to teers right now, and, ideally, we would like to have 80 to 100,” Bruns said.

Straw CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

At the same time HolmanHebert was looking to expand his farm, he kept fielding inquiries on how to build with straw bales.

“There seemed to be a growing interest in learning how to do this. So we put the two together to see if we could get this workshop going,” he said.

Straw bale codes According to the International Straw Bale Building Registry, there are hundreds of straw bale structures across the country. In Kansas, 12 structures have been registered, with a good chunk of those homes being in LeavenInterstate 70/Kansas worth and Jefferson counties.

The lessons about Orthodox Christianity he had started in Ethiopia continued in Lawrence. The religion resonated with him, and he converted two years after his trip to Africa.

“I certainly needed discipline, and desired a deeper practice and desired a more serious and reverent way of worshipping,” he said.

He left Lawrence to continue his spiritual journey, attending a seminary in New York and earning a doctorate in theology at Notre Dame. In June, he became ordained and returned to Lawrence with his wife and four children.

Church members said they already have noticed the benefits of a full-time priest, such as having communion three times a week.

PHIL HOLMAN-HEBERT LED A WORKSHOP about building a straw bale structure at his Sweetlove Farm in Jefferson County last week. In the background is his home he built out of straw bales. Straw and clay are renewable building materials, but it can be challenging to get straw bale buildings approved in some counties and cities. codes allow for alternative forms of construction; the builders just have to prove they are safe.

Along with making sure a straw bale building is structurally sound, the building departments have to make sure it meets f ire codes, plumbing, electrical and mechanical standards.

“It’s just not stacking hay bales,” Wempe said. “You have to be able to prove that it is just as good as a standard built house.”

Turning straw into homes Many of those who came to Holman-Hebert’s workshop had plans of building straw bale structures on their property.

Jim Brabec, a middle school science teacher from Olathe, came to the workshop because he was interested in alternative building methods.

“The next generation is going to have to be able to use more (diverse) resources because we are running out,” Brabec said. “I’m just teaching children, students and my own kids, different ways of making things.”

Bruce Weber, who has been a carpenter for 35 years, liked the renewable qualities of straw bales.

“I’m learning better methods and more responsible building (practices),” he said.

Among the instructors at the workshop was Susan

Jones, who three years ago hired Holman-Hebert to build a straw bale home in Grantville. She was attracted to the use of natural and renewable materials.

During the process, she uncovered an unexpected element to straw bale building.

“There’s just something about working together. Straw bale building is about community, and that is probably my favorite part,” Jones said.

Holman-Hebert compares the process to an Amish barn raising.

“The materials and system is very conducive to a big group of unskilled workers getting together to do something that is wholly primeval,” Holman-Hebert said. “Most of our modern construction techniques won’t offer that kind of opportunity.”

SEALs on rescue mission killed in Afghan crash

By Patrick Quinn and Kimberly Dozier

DEBT-RATING DOWNGRADE

Analysts advise against rash decisions Associated Press Writer

KABUL, AFGHANISTAN — The 30 American service members — most of them elite Navy SEALs — who died when their helicopter was shot down had rushed to help Army Rangers who had come under fire, two U.S. officials said Sunday.

The heavy loss shows that clandestine tactics carry huge risks despite the huge success of the SEAL mission that killed Osama bin Laden more than three months ago.

Most of the SEALs who died Saturday were from the same unit that killed bin Laden, although none of the men took part in that mission.

The U.S.-led coalition plans to rely more on special operations missions as it reduces the overall number of combat troops by the end of 2014.

This weekend, the rescue team had subdued attackers who had pinned down the Rangers and were departing in their Chinook helicopter when the aircraft was apparently hit, one of the officials said.

Thirty Americans and eight Afghans were killed in the crash, making it the deadliest single loss for U.S. forces in the decade-long war in Afghanistan. The Rangers, special operations forces who work regularly with the SEALs, secured the crash site in the Tangi Joy Zarin area of Wardak province, about 60 miles southwest of Kabul, the other official said.

Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity to describe the event, as the investigation is still ongoing.

The SEAL mission was first reported by CNN. NATO was recovering the remains of the twin rotor Chinook helicopter. A current and a former U.S. official said the Americans included 22 SEALs, three Air Force combat controllers and a dog handler and his dog. The two spoke on condition of anonymity because military officials were still notifying the families of the dead.

All but two of the SEALs were from SEAL Team 6, the unit that killed bin Laden, U.S. officials said on condition of anonymity because

BRIEFLY New unrest in London a night after rioting LONDON — New unrest erupted on north London’s streets late Sunday, a day after rioting and looting in a deprived area amid community anger over a fatal police shooting.

Police deployed extra officers on London’s streets to prevent a repeat of Saturday’s violence in north London’s Tottenham area, which appeared to be quiet Sunday night.

But disturbances broke out in Enfield, about 5 miles north of Tottenham. TV footage showed riot and mounted police patrolling the streets, and there were also images of smashed shop windows, and police with dogs detaining at least one man.

A peaceful protest against the killing of a 29-year-old man in Tottenham degenerated into a Saturday night rampage, with rioters torching a double-decker bus, destroying patrol cars and trashing a shopping mall in the nearby Wood Green district.

American begins swim across Florida Straits HAVANA — American endurance swimmer Diana Nyad jumped into Cuban waters Sunday evening and set off in a bid to become the first person to swim across the Florida Straits without the aid of a shark cage.

The 61-year-old Nyad expressed confidence before starting off. She said the still air and flat water were perfect conditions for her attempt to make a 103-mile, 60-hour swim from Havana to the Florida Keys.

She swam away just before sunset, escorted by kayaks and several larger boats carrying her support team.

Kansas soldier among those killed OLATHE — A 21-year-old Kansas soldier was among 30 U.S. troops killed when a helicopter was shot down in Afghanistan.

Chief Warrant Officer Michael Walsh said Sunday that Specialist 4 Spencer C. Duncan was serving as a door gunner on the CH-47 helicopter that was hit by rocket fire Saturday.

Walsh said Duncan, who graduated from Olathe South High School, was a member of Bravo Company, 7th Battalion, 158th Aviation Regiment based at New Century AirCenter in Gardner.

Duncan joined the military in 2008 and had been in Afghanistan since late May. He was stationed at Forward Operating Base, Shank. they were not authorized to release the information.

Eight Taliban fighters were also killed in the battle, Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said in a statement.

Afghanistan has more U.S. special operations troops, about 10,000, than any other theater of war. The forces, often joined by Afghan troops, are among the most effective weapons in the coalition’s arsenal, conducting surveillance, infiltration and capture missions and night raids.

From April to July this year, 2,832 special operations raids captured 2,941 insurgents and killed 834, twice as many as during the same time period last year, according to NATO.

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -WORLD

N E W Y O R K — Investors should think twice before making any rash moves today.

Many market analysts expect stocks to fall sharply because of anxiety about the downgrade of the U.S. credit rating, the debt crisis in Europe and last week’s stock market plunge. The temptation to bolt from any hint of risk is understandable. And right now, stocks look risky.

Financial planners say people who stick with their investment strategy will likely see their portfolios recover in the long run.

“The whole reason for having an investment plan is to make it easier to know what to do in times like these,” notes David Yeske, managing director of Yeske Buie, an investment firm based in San Francisco.

Still, that can be difficult to remember when faced with a seemingly endless stream of grim news.

The swoon in stocks likely knocked many portfolios out of balance. For example, younger professionals might have built a portfolio so it would be 70 percent in stocks.

But that share has probably fallen as the market did. These investors should consider shifting more money into stocks to get back into balance, financial planners say.

The prospect of buying stocks, even at cheaper prices, is daunting. The more natural instinct when the market is undergoing turmoil is to sell.

“But if you sell now out of fear that the markets won’t recover, you’ll be selling low and losing money,” notes Ric Edelman, CEO of Edelman Financial, based in Fairfax, Va. “Investors who are fairweather friends are the ones who lose the most money.

Profits are earned when the market is declining.”

The past few weeks underscore the importance of rebalancing regularly and frequently, especially as you get closer to the time when you’ll need your money. Experts say those nearing or already at retirement age shouldn’t have been heavily invested in stocks, and so the recent selloff shouldn’t have had a significant event.

NEW YORK — U.S. investors will have their first chance today to react to Standard & Poor’s decision to strip the U.S. government of its top credit rating. But the bigger issues facing Wall Street and stock markets worldwide remain debt-ridden countries in Europe and concerns that the global economy is weakening.

Friday’s first-ever downgrade of U.S. long-term debt from AAA to AA+ wasn’t unexpected and may have little impact on interest rates.

But it’s the kind of news that stock markets don’t need when investors are already nervous.

Even before the downgrade, the Dow Jones industrial average last week fell nearly 700 points, or 6 percent. Investors were worried because economic signals in the U.S. and overseas were pointing toward trouble: ● On July 29, the government dramatically lowered its estimate of how much the economy grew during the first quarter. It had said the economy grew at an annual rate of 1.3 percent, but revised that number down to 0.4 percent. Second-quarter growth was also weak, a 1.3 percent rate. ● European officials are trying to help Italy — the world’s eighth-largest economy — avoid the kind of bailouts that Greece, Portugal and Spain were forced to accept to prevent them from defaulting on their debt. And those bailouts haven’t solved all the problems in those countries. ● The first reports on the economy during the third quarter have been mixed.

Manufacturing, which helped pull the economy out of the recession, fell to its weakest level since July 2009 — the month after the recession officially ended. The Labor Department said 117,000 jobs were created last month. But that came after 99,000 jobs were created in May and June combined — and 250,000 new jobs are needed each month to reduce unemployment.

As a result, financial analysts interviewed Sunday said

they expect markets to be volatile this week — and beyond.

“We are in unchartered territory and, therefore, “It is very should all unlikely that brace for (this) isn’t going volatility over a numto take a while to bottom out.” ber of days if not weeks,” said — Former Federal Mohamed ElReserve Erian, CEO and co-chief Chairman Alan investment Greenspan officer of the bond mutual fund company PIMCO. Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics, said he expected the downgrade to cause a selloff today. “There’s a lot of fear and misunderstanding and confusion, and that all could come out in the stock and bond markets. I don’t think it takes much to unnerve investors given the current environment. I think anything could drive investors to sell given how fragile sentiment is,” he said.

Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, who appeared on NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday, expects the selling to last for some time. “It is very unlikely that (this) isn’t going to take a while to bottom out,” he said.

The reason: “It depends on Europe, not the United States,” Greenspan said. “The United States was actually doing relatively well, sluggish but going forward until Italy ran into trouble.” He said that half of U.S. corporations operate in Europe, and that the region “has been a very important driving force in the overall earnings of U.S. corporations.”

The Dow fell 513 points Thursday alone after concerns about Italy’s were compounded by anxiety ahead of Friday’s jobs report from the Labor Department. That report came in better than expected; the economy got 117,000 new jobs in July. But it wasn’t enough to calm investors. The Dow has fallen nearly 10 percent in two weeks — a period that included the budget debate that averted a default on U.S. debt.

45,000 Verizon landline workers go on strike

By Deepti Hajela Associated Press Writer

NEW YORK — Stalled contract negotiations led thousands of workers in Verizon Communication Inc.’s wireline division to go on strike Sunday, potentially affecting landline operations as well as installation of services like FiOS, its fiber-optic te l ev i s i o n a n d I n te r n e t lines.

The contract for the 45,000 employees from Massachusetts to Washington, D.C., expired at midnight Saturday with the company and the workers unable to come to terms on issues including health care costs and pensions.

Verizon offers landline service in Connecticut, California, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Florida, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas and Virginia.

The dispute does not affect the company’s wireless division. Verizon is the nation’s largest wireless carrier.

Verizon employees who are members of the Communication Workers of America union picketed headquarters in New York City on Sunday morning, wearing red and holding signs with messages including “CWA on strike for middle-class jobs.”

Vinnie Galvin, 56, said he and his fellow workers are the backbone of the industry.

“Everybody needs to be wired and we’re the people who do that,” said the threedecades-plus veteran of the company.

“They’re trying to bust us.

... This is stuff that it took us 40, 50 years to get.”

The affected workers are responsible for maintaining and repairing traditional landlines, as well as installing FiOS, union spokesman Bob Master said.

Workers covered by the expired contract also include 10,000 represented by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, who serve as telephone and repair technicians, customer service representatives, operators and more. Contract negotiations began June 22.

New York-based Verizon has 196,000 workers; 135,000 are nonunion.

The company is asking for changes in the contract because it says its wireline business has been in decline for more than a decade as more people switch to using cellphones exclusively. It had 25 million landlines at the end of the second quarter, down from 26 million at the end of 2010. It has been selling off some of its landlines to other phone companies.

“It’s not reflective of today’s marketplace,” Verizon spokesman Rich Young said of the contract. “Our union employees pay nothing toward their health care premiums. That’s virtually unheard of.”

Master said the company wanted worker concessions at a time when it was making billions in profits and top executives were making millions in salary.

“We have never seen such a sweeping attack on the quality of life of our members,” he said. “This is an unprecedented and in our opinion completely unjusti-

fied attack on middle-class jobs.”

Young refuted the union’s contentions on Verizon’s profits, saying that the wireline unit was declining overall despite the growth of products like FiOS. Master said the strike could impact customers looking for installations or repairs to their service, but Young said Verizon had taken steps like training managers and retirees.

Young said Verizon would return to the table at any point, that it was up to the union. The union said workers would be prepared to return to work when Verizon demonstrated a willingness to bargain seriously.

VERIZON WORKER PJ FOLEY, CENTER, of Quincy, Mass., leads a chant while picketing in Boston on Sunday.

Forty-five thousand Verizon Communications Inc. workers from Massachusetts to Washington, D.C., went on strike Sunday.

Obama adviser blames tea party WASHINGTON — A top political adviser to President Barack Obama is blaming the downgrade of the U.S. credit rating on tea party Republicans, whom he says were unwilling to compromise on how to reduce the federal debt.

Obama campaign strategist David Axelrod told CBS’ “Face the Nation” on Sunday that the decision by the Standard & Poor’s credit agency to downgrade the U.S. from AAA to AA+ for the first time was strongly influenced by weeks of standoff between Democrats and Republicans over the debt.

Axelrod calls the action, in his words, “a tea party downgrade” and says it’s clearly on the backs of lawmakers who were willing to see the country default to get their way.

Cooperation urged after S&P decision WASHINGTON — Two senators and former presidential candidates say Standard & Poor’s decision to downgrade the U.S. credit rating speaks to the need for more bipartisan compromise — but they also say the blame lies with the other party.

John Kerry was the Democratic nominee for president in Kerry 2004, and John McCain was the Republican nominee in 2008.

Appearing Sunday McCain on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Kerry said he believes that tea party supporters in the House are holding up progress.

McCain says he too would like to see more cooperation, but the Arizona Republican says President Barack Obama is at fault. McCain says the president failed to lead and did not present a clear plan during the debt-ceiling debate.

Talks drag on Negotiators for the city and police and fire employees need to wrap up this year’s employment agreement.

N

early five months after negotiations began, the city’s police and fire unions and city management are still looking for an employment agreement that all parties can support. It is becoming clear that all parties need to look harder.

The city’s negotiating process with its two unions is disappointing on a number of levels.

First, the public deserves to know why this process is taking so long, but currently the public has been left largely in the dark. Negotiations between the groups are held behind closed doors, which gives the public little ability to understand the issues and offer guidance to its elected officials. Perhaps a little public pressure would be useful to help break this loggerhead.

It is disappointing that a loggerhead exists in the first place. During these tough economic times, it is not difficult to find communities where reductions in the public safety forces of a community are being contemplated. That’s not the case in Lawrence. In fact, the city in 2012 is increasing property taxes slightly to fund additional police officer positions. Commissioners also are in the middle of a multiyear plan to adds millions of dollars worth of new equipment to the fire department’s fleet.

Police officers and firefighters in Lawrence don’t have it all that bad.

On the other side of the equation — during these tough economic times — the city has a general fund savings account of more than $12 million. City commissioners are working with a public that apparently is more willing to accept tax increases than most — given that in recent years voters have approved three sales tax increases and now a property tax increase to build a larger library. Lawrence city commissioners also don’t have it all that bad.

Yet somehow, it takes months and months to come up with a deal to keep people employed in an economy where a job has never been more precious.

The city needs to be cognizant of the message these drawn out negotiations is sending.

They send a poor message to the public and a poor message to the non-union employees at City Hall. The city’s 2012 budget already has been set. The amount of money the city will spend in 2012 has been determined. Yet, we don’t know what we’re paying the city’s police officers and firefighters. An amount will be determined, and that amount will be taken out of the already approved 2012 city budget.

Apparently, non-union employees get the leftovers.

That’s not a proper message to send to those employees. While police and fire employees provide vital services to this community, so do the non-union employees. Many of their jobs are critical to community safety as well — ensuring safe drinking water on a daily basis, ensuring proper sanitation by removing our trash on a daily basis, Municipal Court employees who keep the justice system moving on a daily basis, and the list could go on.

The city’s workforce should not be a twotiered system, and city leaders need to think hard about whether this current process is creating one.

But first, all parties of this process need to work hard to finish the current negotiations. We know all sides are capable. Police and firefighters in Lawrence are excellent public servants.

City commissioners and their staff have shown fine leadership during these challenging times.

However, now is the time for all involved to buckle down and think about the bigger picture. We’re living in a time where far too many people have lost their jobs, where far too many people — especially in the private sector — have had to take wage cuts to keep their jobs, and we’re living in a community that has many issues to solve if we hope to return to our past prosperity.

It is time to end these negotiations and get on with that important work.

Afghans still find their sense of humor WASHINGTON — We could all use a lighthearted story from Afghanistan, so indulge me while I explain the plot of a new series debuting this month on Tolo TV in Kabul. It’s a wicked comedy called “The Ministry,” about an imaginary Ministry of Garbage Collection in the fictitious country of Hechland (or in English, “Nothing-Land.”).

The minister is a dapper, balding, larcenous man in a threepiece suit who presides over a collection of deadbeats, thieves and petty bureaucrats. His security guard claims he’s stopping suicide bombers, but we see him sleeping on the butt of his AK47. His secretary presents a list of 190 demands from Cabinet members: One wants 10 armored cars for his personal protection; another wants authorization for his drug-trafficking business; a third wants jobs for his brother, brother-inlaw and cousins.

Welcome to Afghanistan, a country that is mired in reallife corruption but also has media organizations that can expose and laugh at the national mess.

Tolo TV will be familiar to readers of this column. I wrote about it back in December 2008, when the network was promoting a film version of its musical program called “Afghan Star.” It was modeled on “American Idol,” with hosts conducting a nationwide talent search. The difference was that this was Afghanistan, where 10 years earlier the Taliban were forbidding people even to sing.

Kandahar, the birthplace of the Taliban. There have been threats against “Afghan Star” over these seven years — as against the larger project of a modern, secular Afghanistan — but it’s still filming, and people are still singing.

Keeping this motley production company together is Saad Mohseni, the CEO of Moby Media Group, which owns Tolo TV. He’s young and brash, the sort of aspiring media mogul who would be at home in Beverly Hills or Bollywood. He returned home after the Taliban were expelled in 2001, and keeps expanding despite the chaos. He now has four networks and 1,000 employees.

Mohseni takes me on a tour of his 17 dubbing studios, spread out in a series of villas and bungalows in the middle of Kabul, surrounded by armed guards. It’s like a rabbit warren, up stairs and down, ducking into one studio that’s dubbing “Oprah” into Farsi for Persian-speaking markets, and then careening into another that’s dubbing “Sesame Street” into Dari, the Afghan national language. Getting the right voice for Grover and Cookie Monster in Dari is no simple matter, the producers explain.

Tolo is producing a new drama series called “Eagle Four,” about the adventures of an Afghan antiterrorism squad. Like a lot of Tolo’s output, it’s partly a knockoff of Western shows, in this case “24.” In the first episode, we see

a suicide bomber donning his vest, and the squad mobilizing to stop him, with the hero admonishing his colleagues: “We are all working to serve the community so that all the people can live in peace.” Corny, but it has gritty production values and a lot of viewers.

Tolo has some very good news shows that break stories and do investigative reporting in a country where telling the truth can get you killed. Talking to some of the young reporters and producers in Kabul, I am reminded of what’s admirable about the news business (which isn’t always so obvious in America).

My favorite Tolo shows are the ones that mock the government.

One popular program is called “Alarm Bell,” hosted by Hanif Hamgam, who is bidding to become Afghanistan’s Jon Stewart. He creates absurd caricatures of Afghan politicians, including a pro-corruption candidate who shouts out his litany: “Who do we steal from? The people! What do we steal?

Money!”

A country that can poke fun at itself, after living through the nightmare that is Afghanistan’s modern history, isn’t entirely lost. The next time you read about the misery of this country, think, too, of the voice of Cookie Monster in Dari.

OLD HOME TOWN

100

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Aug. 8, 1911: YEARS “William Schock, AGO living 1 1/2 miles IN 1911 north of Lawrence, this morning discovered two boys in his melon patch busily engaged in making a selection of a melon that they intended to appropriate for their own use. Mr. Schock caught the boys in the act and was much surprised when he learned that instead of capturing a couple of melon thieves he had apprehended a couple of youths wanted at the state reformatory at Topeka. The boys were the same ones that had broken into the Sneegas hardware store here about a month ago and later turned over to the Kansas City authorities. Mr. Schock says that the boys were tired, hungry and ragged when he caught them.

He gave them some breakfast and brought them in to Lawrence.”

Major parties must change their ways The political vocation attracts “charlatans, jackals and romantics,” according to one observer.

And the worst of these may be the romantics. Charlatans and jackals do mischief. Romantics — those in possession of absolute truth, who dream of “changing the world” and even human nature — can wreak lasting harm.

Maybe we should consider ourselves fortunate that most of our politicians today are mere charlatans and jackals. They may be guilty of peccadillos — a little misuse of campaign funds or a bit of tax evasion, along with run-ofthe-mill sexual misdeeds. But we’re blessed by the relative absence of evangelical pied pipers who promise salvation and utopia and send anyone to the guillotine who doesn’t play along. Most of our politicians just try to cover their rears and con enough of voters to assure their re-election.

But does anyone think that today’s Republican or Democratic leaders are capable of making difficult decisions or of subordinating their political prospects to the country’s future? The debt limit debate was a charade of finger-pointing and posturing, with elected officials trotting out to the microphones as if auditioning for the “The Emperor’s New Clothes.” And how about a raspberry for the spendthrift president posing as a

George Gurley If the definition of “insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, then recent governments have been clinically bonkers.”

sober bean counter and “the only adult in the room”? Does anyone believe that this vaudeville show was a prelude to real reforms?

Conventional wisdom says that the problem today is the polarization of the two parties.

According to this narrative, the debt limit fiasco was Act 1 in a great, historic debate about the proper size of government. But both parties are addicted to big government and reckless spending. According to a recent essay, they represent a “duopoly.”

They’re not in competition but in collusion.

“Though rhetorically and theoretically at odds with one

another, the two parties have managed to create a mostly unbroken set of policies and governance structures that benefit well-connected groups at the expense of the individual,” wrote Nick Gillespie and Matt Welch.

They have divvied up the country into electoral fiefdoms, leaving them free to pursue unpopular, unfruitful policies.

If the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, then recent governments have been clinically bonkers. In spite of blatant failures in such enterprises as public education and the war on drugs, they keep doing the same things and arguing that spending more money will eventually bring about success. The idea of trying something new is abhorrent, because it might inconvenience special interests that make big campaign contributions.

The Republican-Democrat duopoly “divides up the spoils of a combined $6.4 trillion that is extracted each year from taxpayers at the federal, state and municipal levels,” wrote Gillespie and Welch. But the persistence of this setup doesn’t mean it’s immortal. Citing business duopolies such as Kodak and Fujifilm, Gillespie and Welch argue that “collusion against the interests of customers produces an inevitable revolt.” Polls indi-

cate unprecedented mistrust and unhappiness with both parties. Both have lost “market share.” More voters are describing themselves as “independents.”

If the two-party system is to survive, it needs to be reinvented. Democrats and Republicans must rethink their ideologies in the face of new realities such as increasing longevity and global competition. They need to reconcile entitlement spending with economic growth and balance the demands of the public and the private sectors. Passing bills that no one reads and then doling out exemptions doesn’t count as problem-solving. It doesn’t bode well for the twoparty system that it keeps reinforcing the impression of incompetence and resistance to change. Empowered by the Internet, independent-minded people are challenging the duopoly.

“Wherever both parties have colluded in erecting a roadblock to the desires of American voters, there are citizens groups creating angry and effective coalitions to confront the status quo,” wrote Gillespie and Welch. If Republican and Democratic parties lack the will and the imagination to change, they may go the way of the Dodo.

DILBERT Iowa town lifts evacuation order HAMBURG, IOWA (AP) — Residents of Hamburg who were ordered in June to flee their homes amid Missouri River flooding are now being allowed to return.

KMTV-TV reports local officials have lifted the mandatory evacuation.

The river rose to record levels because the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers increased releases from upstream reservoirs to make room for heavy rains and melting snowpack. The corps has started reducing the releases but the river is expected to remain high into fall.

Terry Cooper and his family spent Friday cleaning up their house.

Cooper said he was glad to be back but he’s frustrated that the Federal Emergency Management denied financial help for displaced homeowners. The state is appealing.

Cooper says the government caused the flood, so it should help fix the problems it caused.

Morningstar confirms talks with pro league

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Former Kansas University basketball guard Brady Morningstar likely will be playing for a professional team in Greece during the 2011-12 season.

Morningstar acknowledged Sunday that Internet reports tying him to the top league in Morningstar Greece were correct. He said nothing had been finalized yet, thus had no details to disclose.

The former Free State High standout averaged 7.1 points, 3.3 assists and 2.2 rebounds a game last season for 35-3 KU.

Weber speaks Current University of Illinois coach Bruce Weber praised former Illini coaches Bill Self and Lon Kruger during a speech to the fans at Saturday night’s Alumni Game at Assembly Hall in Champaign, Ill. Self had been in town Friday for a reunion honoring his 200001 and 01-02 Big Ten championship teams.

The Arlington Heights Daily Herald reports that Weber told the fans to admire the school’s five title banners from 1998 to 2005.

“We haven’t had any since,” Weber said. “We’ve got to get this thing going. We’ve got to get some more banners up there because that’s what it’s all about.”

Robinson lauded KU junior forward Thomas Robinson was unstoppable Saturday at the Adidas Nations Global Experience in Los Angeles, according to Jonathan Givony of draftexpress.com.

“Robinson again was too explosive for any big man to stop off the dribble. Conf ident enough to do whatever he pleases in this setting,” Givony wrote on Twitter.

NBAdraft.net’s Aran Smith also offered his take: “Robinson appears to be working to become a combo forward. He displayed some solid ball handling and blow-by ability, but other times Robinson he got out of control fumbling the ball, turning it over on drives. Despite the fact that he appears to be small for the PF position at 6-8, with a long wingspan and broad shoulders, he would likely be best served working solely on his post moves and becoming a more polished post player.”

Barfield, Brown, Patmon hope to continue rise

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

If the 2010 season had been three or four games longer, Kansas University cornerbacks Isiah Barfield, Greg Brown and Tyler Patmon might have been in the running for all-conference honors.

Instead, the improvement those three players made from the season opener to the end of the season was something they carried with them into the offseason as they continued to work to improve at a rapid pace.

Early in the year, all three players went unnoticed. Inexperience and the challenge of slowing down some of the nation’s top offenses undercut their confidence, and KU’s pass defense suffered.

But about midway through the season, something clicked for the three players, and the Jayhawks’ secondary started to look a little more stout.

Brown became nastier, physical enough to spar at the line of scrimmage and fast enough to sprint with receivers down the field.

Barfield became tougher, not afraid to lower the boom with a big hit or stick his head in to support the run.

And Patmon became a playmaker.

It took time for that to develop, in part because the players were learning a new system and adjusting to a new coaching staff. This year, the Jayhawks, who struggled to create turnovers in 2010, expect to jump in where they left off.

“We’re gonna be a

little more aggressive,” KU coach Turner Gill said.

That attitude, along with the improvement shown by KU’s big three, landed Brown, Patmon and Barfield in the top three spots in the Journal-World and KUSports.com’s rankings of this team’s top cornerbacks, a tougher task than at most positions.

The reason?

addition to a little experience, the Jayhawks now have speed in the secondary, as well.

Several incoming freshmen showed up on campus determined to play, a luxury that, if they can prove they belong on the field, would give KU solid depth at this spot for years to come. Regardless of how quickly they can crack the lineup, Gill has said he’s thrilled with the group’s potential.

“It’s just great to have athletes like that on the field,” he said.

“We’re looking for guys that can make plays. Ultimately, that’s what it comes down to.”

Here’s a look at our opinion of KU’s top options at cornerback.

Rookie relishes ‘magical’ debut ———

With family in stands, Giavotella homers, doubles in Royals’ 4-3 victory over Detroit

KANSAS CITY’S JOHNNY GIAVOTELLA CELEBRATES in the dugout after hitting a solo home run during the fifth inning against the Tigers.

The Royals beat Detroit, 4-3, on Sunday in Kansas City, Mo.

KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — Johnny Giavotella’s debut was a dream come true.

Giavotella hit his first majorleague home run and doubled as the Kansas City Royals defeated the Detroit Tigers, 4-3, on Sunday.

“It does feel surreal,” Giavotella said. “This weekend has been almost magical. Everything I wanted to accomplish in baseball, it’s come true this weekend.

To have my family here watching me, I couldn’t ask for anything more.”

Giavotella, who was promoted Friday after hitting .338 in 110 games with Triple-A Omaha, is 5for-11 (.455) with a .909 slugging

percentage in his first three games “He’s a little sparkplug,” said Alex Gordon, who set a sinROYALS gle-season c l u b re co rd VS.

Giavotella faced Rick Porcello,

Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer.

“He’s facing three solid pitchers,” Gordon said. “That was pretty impressive for his first series.”

Giavotella led off the threerun fourth with a double, advanced to third on a wild pitch and scored on a Billy Butler groundout. Mitch Maier’s triple scored Eric Hosmer, who singled. Brayan Pena’s two-out single brought home Maier.

Giavotella homered to left on a 2-1 pitch from Scherzer in the fifth.

“It was unbelievable feeling and a feeling I’ll never forget,” Giavotella said. “Scherzer was trying to come in on me all day.

He was banging me inside and I couldn’t get my hands extended.

I guess he missed over the plate that time and I got my hands inside and barreled it up and it flew out of the park.”

Royals left-hander Bruce Chen (6-5) gave up three runs on five hits in five-plus innings, while striking out five — three in the first inning — and no walks to pick up his first victory since July 6. He allowed three hits to start the three-run sixth, when there was a 46 minute rain delay. Rookie right-hander Louis Coleman replaced Chen after play resumed.

BRIDGESTONE GOLF INVITATIONAL

Caddie steals spotlight in Scott’s victory AKRON, OHIO (AP) — The chants and cheers began as Adam Scott walked toward the 18th green to complete a command performance Sunday in the Bridgestone Invitational and win his first World Golf Championship.

But in a surreal scene at Firestone, they weren’t for him.

They were for his caddie.

“Stev-ie Will-iams,” they shouted as the guy carrying the bag for Scott broke into a big smile.

The celebration made it clear that Steve Williams felt vindicated after being fired last month by Tiger Woods. The interview after it was over — yes, he gave interviews — made it sound as if it was

Williams who shot the 5-under 65.

At one point, Williams described himself as a “good front-runner when I’m caddying.”

“I’ve caddied for 33 years — 145 wins now — and that’s the best win I’ve ever had,” Williams told CBS Sports on the 18th green. This from a guy whose 12 Williams years working for Woods featured 13 majors and 16 world titles among 72 wins worldwide. That includes the 2001 Masters, when Woods won an

unprecedented fourth straight major.

Clearly, Williams is still angry over how — and when — Woods cut him loose.

He even disputed Woods’ version of how it happened, saying Woods told him over the phone, not in person.

Scott didn’t Scott seem to mind that his caddie was getting most of the attention.

“I can talk about Steve now and not Tiger,” Scott said to laughter,

alluding to the countless times he and other players have been asked about Woods. “I’m sure there are a lot of other golfers who wouldn’t mind that, either.”

The latest chapter in the endless saga involving Woods took away from a premier performance by Scott, who didn’t make a bogey over his last 26 holes and couldn’t afford to with 19-year-old Ryo Ishikawa giving him all he could handle.

Topeka native and former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland finished in the middle of the pack with rounds of 70-6673-73 for a 282 total.

He earned $53,300.

COMMENTARY

For Yankees’ Posada, the truth hurts

By Ken Davidoff Newsday

BOSTON — His smile served as his mask, his words a shield of convenient ignorance.

And no one faulted Jorge Posada or demanded more from him.

It’s likely that Posada never again will serve as an important player for the Yankees. Probably for any team.

Reporters knew it, as we surrounded Posada’s locker Sunday in the Fenway Park visitors’ clubhouse. And Posada seemed to know it, too.

“It’s just a matter of getting in there and, when you get a chance, go out there and hit,” Posada said, sounding like a salesman pitching a product he doesn’t like.

Joe Girardi told Posada that he’ll be relegated to the bench for the foreseeable future, the right call to anyone who has been paying attention. Eric Chavez started at designated hitter against Boston and Josh Beckett, with Eduardo Nunez playing third base, and youngster Jesus Montero could be promoted very shortly from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to get some at-bats at DH. If there’s any silver lining for Posada, it’s that he lasted long enough into the season that the club won’t be compelled to release him. They can get by with him until Sept. 1, at which point the rosters can be expanded to 40. And he can hang out, as an inactive player, during the team’s postseason run.

“It’s tough,” Girardi said. “Jorgie and (my) relationship goes back a long, long way, (to) 1996. He’s done so many great things in this game, great things for the Yankees. He’s been part of so many championship teams and division winners.

“I know how much he wants to be a part of this, too. That’s why I said, ’This is today. I can’t tell you it’s going to be like this two weeks from now, a month.’ You can’t say that. But this is what it is today.

He’s got to stay ready.”

The whole truth and nothing but the truth, however? Only multiple disappointments will give Posada another real opportunity. The injury-prone Chavez would have to get hurt again. Montero would have to fall on his face. Alex Rodriguez, due back in a little more than a week from right knee surgery, would have to falter in his return.

Whether Posada agrees or not — eerily, he offered the same “I put myself in this situation” line that he spoke May 14, when he pulled himself from the lineup after Girardi hit him ninth — the Yankees provided him more than enough time to make the transition from catcher to DH. He has a .309 on-base percentage and .372 slugging percentage in 317 plate appearances, and it’s even worse when you eliminate his occasional starts at first base. Just as a DH, he’s at .293/.350 in 270 plate appearances.

“He’s just struggling to find a way to get his hits,” Girardi said. “He did go on a good streak after we had the situation in May.” From May 15-June 30, Posada had what could be his final resurgence, a .393 OBP and .505 SLG in 107 plate appearances.

From July 1 through Saturday, though, his performance plummeted dramatically to a .259 OBP and .244 SLG in 85 plate appearances. “(Girardi) said he was going to put the best lineup on the field,” Posada said. “He doesn’t know when I’m going to DH again.

Right now, I’m sitting on the bench.”

There are worse ways to end a fantastic career than serving as witness to another pennant quest. If Posada is a little overpaid for that job, then few, if anyone, will begrudge him.

Keselowski triumphs with broken ankle LONG POND, PA. — Brad Keselowski was inspired Sunday by a relative in the Navy Seals, and that was all he needed to push through his painful ankle injury.

Keselowski’s cousin lost a friend who was one of 30 American service members who died when their helicopter was shot down during fighting in eastern Afghanistan. The NASCAR driver took the sacrifice to heart, and vowed he would not leave his car no matter how much he hurt.

So Keselowski went out and raced all 500 miles of the Sprint Cup stop at Pocono Raceway with a broken left ankle.

As if that wasn’t enough, he somehow managed to win, too.

Competing with a brace on his ankle, Keselowski sped off on the final restart late in the race to pick up Keselowski his second victory of the season. He gingerly climbed out of his car to celebrate with his crew in Victory Lane.

He dedicated the victory — one that thrust him into Chase contention — to the troops in Afghanistan.

“I might not be feeling great, but those are the guys that are really making sacrifices,” Keselowski said. “Whenever I got in the car and felt like, man, this really hurts, it was good inspiration as to what it takes to ‘man up’ and make it happen.”

Keselowski was an unlikely winner after he crashed head-on into a wall on Wednesday during a test session at Road Atlanta. He slammed a section of wall at 100 mph and was forced out of the Nationwide Series race.

He insisted during practice this weekend he wouldn’t leave the No. 2 Dodge, no matter the aches and pain.

No relief driver was necessary, though Keselowski had some rest during a 1 hour, 40minute rain delay.

“I was amazed he raced the full race,” thirdplace finisher Kurt Busch said.

Keselowski’s victory placed him in prime position to claim one of two wild-card spots available for the Chase for the championship.

The top two drivers with the most victories in 11th to 20th place earn a wild-card spot for the playoffs.

AUTO RACING Harvick wins delayed trucks race LONG POND, PA. — Kevin Harvick needed overtime to take the checkered flag.

Harvick stretched his fuel over extra laps and an extra day, breaking free on the greenwhite checkered finish to win the Trucks Series race on Sunday at Pocono Raceway.

Dixon dominates Mid-Ohio IndyCar LEXINGTON, OHIO — Pole-sitter Scott Dixon waited patiently before taking control 24 laps from the finish and then coasted to an easy victory over teammate Dario Franchitti in the IndyCar race at Mid-Ohio on Sunday.

The victory gave the New Zealander wins on the road track in the last three odd-numbered years.

Wilkerson ends winless drought KENT, WASH. — Tim Wilkerson ended a yearlong winless drought by racing to his third consecutive Funny Car title at the O’Reilly Auto Parts NHRA Northwest Nationals at Pacific Raceways on Sunday.

Wilkerson drove his Ford Mustang to a 4.146-second run at 300.53 mph.

Radwanska captures Mercury title CARLSBAD, CALIF. — Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland won her first tournament title in more than three years with a 6-3, 6-4 victory over third-ranked Vera Zvonareva in the Mercury Insurance Open final on Sunday.

GOLF Former KU golfer Thompson 44th Lawrence resident and former Kansas University golfer Chris Thompson finished in a tie for 44th place in the Cox Classic, a Nationwide Tour event played in Omaha, Neb. Thompson earned a spot in the tournament, his first nationwide event of the season, in a Monday qualifier. Thompson earned $2,755 and finished 12-under par in the tournament played at Champions Run. Thompson shot a 2under 69 Sunday and finished three strokes out of the top 25, which would have earned him a spot in this week’s Nationwide event in Springfield, Mo. J.J. Killeen shot a 3-under 69 to win for the second straight week on the Nationwide Tour.

KANSAS CITY ROYALS CENTER FIELDER MITCH MAIER walks off the field during a rain delay in the sixth inning. The Royals beat the Tigers, 4-3, Sunday in Kansas City, Mo.

Royals CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

“Bruce did a phenomenal job the first five innings and then that storm blew in and stuff was blowing everywhere,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “You would think that would be to the pitcher’s advantage, but they somehow put together three hits and then the downpour. Somebody said one guy swung threw a napkin and got a hit.

I’ve never seen anything like that.”

Scherzer (11-7), who like Chen did not return after the rain delay, yielded four runs on six hits in five innings.

Scherzer was 3-0 with a 0.89 ERA in his previous three starts against Kansas City.

“It was one of those outings where I got out there and fell behind and made some mistakes and they made me pay for it,” Scherzer said. “And

Corners

State and 10-tackle game against Nebraska.

2. Tyler Patmon: Must have had poor spring to move down on depth chart; one of KU’s best defensive playmakers in 2010.

3. Isiah Barfield: Tied for team lead with two interceptions last year.

4. Anthony Davis: Picked up playing time as the year went on; had four tackles in two of last three games in 2010.

5. Chris Robinson: Not sure if he’ll be the best of the incoming freshmen, but his speed will give him a chance.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

f i e l d a n d s t ay w i t h receivers.

5. Anthony Davis: Continues to improve each year and is now experienced enough to be relied upon.

Tom Keegan’s list 1. Greg Brown: If Toben Opurum’s not the most talented player on the defense, then fleet Brown is.

2. Tyler Patmon: Makes big plays, but must continue to improve at preventing them.

3. Isiah Barfield: Improved during course of 2010 season.

4. Anthony Davis: Experience makes him valuable reserve.

5. Corrigan Powell: Needs to improve to get in games.

Jesse Newell’s list 1. Greg Brown: Impressive end to the season included interception against Missouri, forced fumble against Iowa

For Monday, Aug. 8: This year, your creativity shoots upward to a new level. You have a lot to be happy about, as you will be welcoming many new opportunities into your life.

If you are single, you very well might wave goodbye to that status. If you are attached, the two of you could start acting like newlyweds once more. SAGITTARIUS piques your interest.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21) ★★★★ Understand what is happening with others, but don’t slow down for too long. Keep on schedule, as you have much on your plate.

Tonight: Whatever makes you smile.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★ Step back if you must understand exactly what is going on with you. A tendency to be overly sensitive and demanding could be at the root of this issue.

Tonight: Work late if you are feeling overwhelmed.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★★★ A friend or several associates could be pointing in the direction they believe you should go.

By now you must know it is important to respond to your own inner voice.

Tonight: Where your friends are.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★ Take a stand and handle what you must with certitude and directness.

You might need a time-out from the hectic pace you are keeping. Tonight: Burning the candle at both ends.

Get the names of the nearest kennels, and also reiterate your offer to house them in the garage or backyard. If they insist that the dogs be allowed inside, remain polite and sympathetic, but say you will have to visit with them elsewhere.

If possible, provide a list of local motels or hotels that are animal-friendly.

Dear Annie: I am not an “animal” person. I was not raised with animals and find it difficult to have them in my home. Years ago, I tried a cat for my daughter’s sake, but it did not go well.

All my friends and family members know this about me.

The problem is that certain friends and relatives who have pets expect to bring them to my house when they come to visit. I have offered to house their pets either in the garage or in my fenced backyard, but they dismiss that idea and insist that their pets stay in my house.

Dear Annie: I am a 48-yearold married woman. I love my husband and believe he loves me, too. “Frank” used to be very affectionate and also quite interested in sex. Now I am lucky to get a kiss on the cheek at bedtime. We haven’t had sex in over a year. His doctor gave him samples of Viagra, but they have been sitting in a drawer for months.

Frank says sex is not important to him anymore, but it is to me. I am so tired of hearing all the jokes about women “having a headache.” I feel like the joke is on me.

I am attractive, healthy, clean and loving. So what is wrong? I do not want to leave him or have an affair. But I start to cry every time there is a romantic scene in a movie. I miss that feeling of closeness so much that I am starting to notice other men a lot more than I used to.

Frank won’t go for counseling, so it feels as if we are at an impasse. Can you think of anything I haven’t? — Neglected

AMERICAN LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Red Sox clip Yanks, move into first The Associated Press

Red Sox 3, Yankees 2, 10 innings BOSTON — Josh Reddick hit a game-ending RBI single in the 10th inning, and Boston beat New York on Sunday night.

With the victory, the Red Sox took over sole possession of first place in the AL East and clinched a win in the season series against New York for the first time since 2004.

The Yankees led, 2-1, on homers by Eduardo Nunez and Brett Gardner before Mariano Rivera came in to close it out in the ninth. But he gave up a leadoff double to Marco Scutaro — his fourth hit of the game.

Jacoby Ellsbury moved him up with a sacrifice, and Dustin Pedroia brought him home on a sacrifice fly.
