Proposed deal would keep local SRS office open

TOPEKA — After weeks of community anguish over a decision by Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration to shut down the Lawrence state welfare agency office, a deal was announced Monday that

In return for satisfying SRS’ demand to cut its costs, SRS would keep the office in operation to September 2013. What happens after that, SRS Secretary Robert Siedlecki Jr. said, would depend on the economic condition of the state.

“We have committed to the community in Lawrence to make a good faith effort to seek adequate funding in subsequent years for that purpose,” he said.

Siedlecki, who had announced on July 1 the plan to close the Lawrence office, said that under the new pay-

would keep the office open but require local payments.

Under the proposal, the city and county would each pay $112,500 to the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services in January 2012 and $112,500 in January 2013. That totals $450,000.

Fourteen-year-old Hayley Luna carefully placed cucumber vines on a fence Monday morning at West Middle School so the vegetables would grow up and not out into the walkways.

She also picked ripe tomatoes to sell at a farm-

ers’ market Thursday.

Luna expects cucumbers and tomatoes will be available on the school cafeteria’s salad bar when students return to school next week.

Last year, in its first year, West’s garden supplied the cafeteria with 300 pounds of produce.

This year, it’s expected to provide twice as much.

“When you think of school lunches, you think of lunch ladies plopping stuff on their plate, and we’ve really tried to get away from that,” said Lindsay Morgan, a registered dietitian and food service supervisor for the district.

Instead, students pick

from a variety of options that include more fruits, vegetables and whole grains. The goal is for them to make the same healthy choices for a lifetime.

The district has about 10,600 students and a food services budget of $5.2 million annually. School lunches went up a nickel this year to $2.50 for middle and high school students and $2.25 for elementary students.

School board debates consolidation effort

By Mark Fagan mfagan@ljworld.com

A member of the Lawrence school board can’t imagine basing the future of six educational homes for some of Lawrence’s most vulnerable children on what he considers miscalculated math, inapplicable data and illconceived conclusions.

But even beyond what he considers such obvious holes — ones he asserts call for urgent “reanalysis’” — Rick Ingram certainly can’t see how members of the Central and East Lawrence Elementary School Consolidation Working Group could be expected to come up with anything viable during the next seven months, at least as how their

task is defined right now.

Figure out how to close either two or three elementary Ingram schools through consolidation, when people making the recommendations are from the six schools being targeted?

“They have what probably amounts to an impossible task,” said Ingram, a professor of psychology at Kansas University, after walking fellow board members through a critique of the report upon which the working group’s upcoming work will be based. “If they

can achieve consensus on which of the schools — their schools — to close, then I’ll be very surprised.”

The working group’s assigned goal is to recommend how to close either two or three of six elementary schools: Cordley, Hillcrest, Kennedy, New York, Pinckney and Sunset Hill, as recommended by the Lawrence Elementary School Facility Vision Task Force. The closings would be expected to save the district money through operations, money that could be reinvested in programs and other efforts to improve education for all students.

The working group’s charge grew out of a report from another volunteer group: the Lawrence Elementary School Facility

Vision Task Force, which had met for seven months to identify ways to provide the best elementary buildings within ongoing financial constraints. The task force advised closing Wakarusa Valley School, then working to close at least two more through consolidation.

Board disagreement Ingram’s admittedly “unusual” critique of the task force’s conclusions — methodically flipping through a PowerPoint presentation, pointing out flaws while standing behind a microphone normally reserved for members of the public and district staff — drew at-times sharp responses from some board Please see SCHOOL, page 4A

That new K-State jersey you purchased may draw more than just scorn from Jayhawk fans. It soon may be the subject of a state investigation.

The Kansas Department of Revenue confirmed it has asked its audit division to look into the online sales practices of Kansas State University’s Athletic Department to determine whether the school is failing to collect sales taxes on merchandise sold through its online store.

The Journal-World received a tip last week that purchases made by Kansas residents on the “K-State Official Online Store” were not being charged any sales taxes. The Journal-World made a purchase on the site last week and received a receipt that listed a category of “state taxes,” but the receipt showed that no state taxes were charged.

Throughout the day Friday, a K-State Athletic Department spokesman said he was confident that the site was charging the proper sales tax on in-state sales. But then, early Monday evening, the department conceded sales taxes were not being charged.

Now, K-State Athletic Department spokesman Kenny Lannou said the department has adopted the position that online sales don’t have to be taxed because the online orders are filled in a Florida center owned by Team Fan Shop, an online company that has no stores or employees in Kansas.

“It is not Kansas State Athletics,” Lannou said. “It is Team Fan Shop. They are in control of our online site.”

A leader with the Kansas Department of Revenue isn’t so sure he buys that argument. The store is named the “K-State Official Online Store,” is accessed through K-State’s Athletic Department website, and the Please see K-STATE, page 2A

SRS

But local officials said shutting down the Lawrence SRS office would have disrupted services to vulnerable Kansans, led to more criminal activity and child abuse, and placed additional burdens on already strapped nonprofit groups.

They said the notion that SRS clients, many of them with disabilities, could travel to other cities was not possible. And they noted that many services administered by SRS could not be accessed by computer.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Aron Cromwell voiced support of the deal, which is contingent on approval after public hearings of the Lawrence City Commission today, and the Douglas County Commission on Wednesday.

“I view this proposal as a temporary partnership between local and state governments that will benefit the entire community,” Flory said.

“Not only will approval of this proposal assure the continuance of essential social services to our constituents, it will also continue the economic benefit realized locally from a significant state payroll and by avoiding additional budgetary demands on many local social service agencies,” he said.

Cromwell said, “This proposal allows for the continuation of SRS services in Lawrence. SRS provides vital services to many of our residents. It is important to the Lawrence community to maintain the SRS presence in Lawrence.”

Officials said the county funds will come from money currently budgeted for future economic development. It will not require a mill levy increase. The city will dip into its fund balances.

Under the proposal, if the Legislature stepped up to provide the funding to keep open the Lawrence office, then the city and county would be released from the payment obligation.

Community stunned by initial announcement Community leaders, advocates for the needy and law enforcement officials were stunned and in some cases angered when SRS announced it was shutting down the Lawrence office.

More than 1,000 people attended meetings and rallies shortly after the announcement. Nearly 20 local agencies said any savings to the state would have simply shifted onto them.

Law enforcement officials said they were concerned that without SRS social workers who were familiar with the territory there would be more cases of child abuse.

Douglas County commissioners held several closeddoor sessions to discuss what options were available. On Friday, members of the County and City Commission met briefly with high-ranking SRS officials.

County Administrator Craig Weinaug said officials abided by all requirements of the state Open Meetings law.

Three executive sessions were deemed privileged under the attorney-client privilege dealing with the possibility of lawsuits surrounding the situation, he said.

House Minority Leader Paul Davis, D-Lawrence, said the proposed deal was “great news for the over 10,000 residents of Douglas County that depend on services provided

by SRS.” He said he was confident city and county officials would approve the proposal.

Davis said closing the SRS office “was not an option.”

He added that he has never witnessed in Lawrence “such an outpouring of concern and compassion like what we have seen since the July 1 announcement by SRS that would they would close the Lawrence office. I have never been more proud to call Lawrence and Douglas County home.”

Ottawa robbery suspect captured in Mexico Staff and Wire Reports

A Minnesota man suspected of kidnapping his wife and robbing a bank in Ottawa, Kan., was arrested Monday in Mexico, and his wife was recovered.

The FBI’s Minneapolis Field Office said Timothy Glen Caskey was arrested without incident by Mexican police at a bank in the town of Matamoros. He was tracked there by U.S. marshals and FBI agents who had located the couple earlier in the day.

Caskey allegedly kidnapped his wife, Roberta Lynn Caskey, off a street in the northeastern Minnesota city of Virginia on July 14. He had a long history of domestic violence and had been released earlier in the day from a regional jail near Duluth after violating an order for protection that she had obtained.

The FBI said Roberta Caskey appeared distraught but no further information on her health was immediately available. The agency said she would be returned to Minnesota, while Timothy Caskey would be extradited to the U.S. where he’ll have an initial fed-

eral court appearance in San Antonio.

Timothy Caskey had been sought on federal and state kidnapping Caskey charges along with a state false imprisonment charge and a parole violation. In addition, he also is being investigated for robbery of Great Southern Bank in Ottawa, Kan., on the day after the kidnapping; and for the theft of a pickup truck in New Braunfels, Texas, the day after that.

Police in Virginia said Timothy Caskey, 40, suddenly drove up to his 44-year-old wife on the evening of July 14 as she, a friend and others were walking along a street.

They said he grabbed her and dragged her into the truck, striking the friend and her 9year-old son in the process.

Authorities had suspected Caskey would flee to Mexico, given he was once picked up in Ixtapa by American authorities during a previous run-in with the law.

store would not exist without the permission of Kansas State Athletics.

“I suppose we would have to look at it more, but I think we would take the position that it is a Kansas entity that is making the sale,” said Richard Cram, the revenue department’s director of policy and research. “I don’t think we would care where the product is coming from.”

Cram said he was forwarding the information to the department’s audit division.

State auditors can examine the sales records of the online store and assess up to three years worth of back taxes and penalties, if they find the online store was not properly collecting sales taxes.

“We’re certainly going to address this,” Cram said.

K-State’s partnership with Florida-based Team Fan Shop, which manages online stores for a host of colleges and pro teams, is entering its third year.

Lannou didn’t have sales totals for the online store immediately available. He said about 40 percent of all the sales at the online store are made to instate residents. A representative of Team Fan Shop did not return a call for comment.

Kansas University’s Athletic Department does charge sales tax on in-state purchases, said Jim Marchiony, a spokesman for the department. KU uses a different vendor, Lids, which has stores in Kansas. Marchiony said that fact made it clear state sales taxes had to be charged. Marchiony said he was uncertain whether KU charged sales taxes on in-state purchases previously, when the online site was managed by another vendor.

K-State leaders said they don’t have any plans to change their practices.

“We’re going to let Team Fan Shop make that determination,” Lannou said. “If they ask us for any input, we could provide that.”

Some regional retailers that sell K-State gear said they would be surprised if K-State doesn’t change its policies.

“I would be surprised that now that they know about it that they will condone it,” said Steve Levin, general manager of Varney’s, a major bookstore and apparel retailer in Manhattan. “If they don’t fix it, I think that will be a very unwise move. Even if they think they can get away with it, that’s not what this should be about.”

Varney’s charges sales tax on both its in-state and out-ofstate sales made online. The Kansas Sampler also charges sales tax on online sales.

Aaron Liebert, CEO and owner of the regional chain, said K-State’s practice wasn’t fair to Kansas companies that are providing jobs and tax revenue to the state.

“As a public institution, they should be going out of their way to help state businesses, but right now it looks like they’re stacking the deck against local businesses,” Liebert said.

K-State’s Lannou said the university has paid about $1.2 million in sales taxes related to other sales not connected to the online site.

“We are trying to do our part,” Lannou said.

But retailers said K-State’s online store is a good example of why traditional, locally owned retailers are struggling to survive.

“If you can save 8 to 9 percent by purchasing from an out-of-state site, consumers are going to do it unfortunately,” Liebert said. “It is a tremendous detriment to local retailers who produce local jobs.”

At the end of the day, Levin said he thinks it will be a detriment to the university as well.

“You know, all the K-State fans come to our games on highways built by tax dollars,” Levin said.

1 | LONDON

Riots spread through U.K. cities Violence and looting raged across London and spread to three other major British cities today, as authorities struggled to contain the country’s most serious unrest since race riots set the capital ablaze in the 1980s.

In London, a third straight night of disorder saw buildings, vehicles and garbage dumps set alight, stores looted and police officers pelted with bottles and fireworks, as groups of young people rampaged through neighborhoods. It was an unwelcome reminder of London’s volatility for leaders organizing the 2012 Summer Olympics in less than a year.

As authorities struggled to keep pace with unrest unfolding at flashpoints across London, the violence spread to the central city of Birmingham, the western city of Bristol and the northwestern city of Liverpool.

Prime Minister David Cameron cut short his summer vacation in Italy and was headed home for a meeting of the national crisis committee this morning.

U.S. official gives blunt famine death toll Hundreds of thousands of Somali children could die in East Africa’s famine unless more help arrives, a top U.S. official warned Monday in the starkest death toll prediction yet. To highlight the crisis, the wife of Vice President Joe Biden visited a refugee camp.

Jill Biden is the highest-profile U.S. visitor to East Africa since the number of refugees coming across the Somali border dramatically increased in July.

Biden, who traveled to the camp in a C-130 military transport plane, said she wants to raise awareness and persuade donors to give more.

President Barack Obama approved $105 million on Monday for humanitarian efforts in the Horn of Africa to combat worsening drought and famine.

Syrian defense minister replaced Syrian President Bashar Assad replaced his defense minister Monday with the army chief of staff in the midst of a brutal military crackdown on a 5month-old uprising, the state-run news agency said.

Gen. Ali Habib, the country’s defense minister since 2009, was removed from his post because of health problems, the SANA report said, but some analysts said the general was unhappy with the crackdown.

He was replaced by Gen. Dawoud Rajha, a 64year-old Christian, SANA said. The agency did not say who will succeed Rajha as chief of staff. His deputy is Maj. Gen. Assef Shawkat, who is married to Assad’s sister, Bushra.

Experts: Drought to have lasting effect Wildlife biologists believe the worst yearlong drought in Texas history will have a lasting impact on entire ecosystems.

Texas Parks and Wildlife Department biologist Jeffrey Bonner says the lack of moisture harms everything from the plants to the predators at the top of the food chain. Bonner says most wildlife will suffer low reproductive rates this year as their bodies enter basic survival mode.

Since January, Texas has only gotten about 6 inches of rain, compared to a norm of about 13 inches, making it the most severe one-year drought on record.

The extremely dry conditions have also struck parts of the Great Plains. They’ve been made worse in Texas by weeks of triple-digit temperatures that are causing reservoirs to evaporate, crops to wither, and animals and fish to die.

As part of an agreement, the city prosecutor has dismissed a misdemeanor battery charge against Kansas University basketball player Thomas Robinson.

Robinson was cited after police were called April 10 to The Cave, a Lawrence nightclub that is part of The Oread hotel and condominiums, 1200 Oread Ave. Officers initially said two people were accused of hitting bouncers outside the club. But City Prosecutor Jerry Little said Monday morning that further investigation revealed Robinson spit on a bouncer during the incident.

Robinson, who will be a junior this season, was scheduled to appear in court Monday morning, but Little said he dismissed the case Friday because the victim did not want the prosecution to go forward. Still, Robinson complied with certain conditions in the case, the prosecutor said.

“It’s difficult to proceed without a victim, but I think it was a just resolution based on what the victim desired,” Little said.

Robinson completed 20 hours of community service and agreed to write a letter of apology to the victim. In the letter Robinson said he and the bouncer had an argument that night.

Linda B. Wiley was expecting her 1947 furnace to die any winter now.

But this summer, the southeast Lawrence homeowner had high hopes that a loan through the state’s Efficiency Kansas program would cover the cost of a new one. That upgrade also would make it easier to qualify for a city loan program, which would provide money for sorely needed home improvement projects.

“I thought this was going to be the godsend to help me do it,” Wiley said.

That godsend was the state’s revolving, low-interest loan fund that encouraged homeowners to make energy eff iciency upgrades on their homes. It covered everything from new insulation in the attic to fixing leaky duct work.

Efficiency Kansas launched in November 2009 and was operating off the bulk of the $38 million in stimulus money the state received through the U.S. Department of Energy. The money has to be spent by April 1, 2012.

members who had worked on the task force’s recommendations.

When Ingram argued that the district “is not asking for a sacrifice from anyone else, just these six schools,” several board members quickly disagreed.

“I take offense to that,” said Vanessa Sanburn, one of three board members who had approved the task force’s report, then had formed the working group and had charged it with recommending which schools should close and how.

By closing schools, she said, the district can direct what remains of dwindling resources to the places that need them most.

“I don’t think that keeping the status quo and keeping all our buildings open, will be enough,” Sanburn said.

In the end, no matter what the volunteer working group recommends after biweekly meetings through February, all seven board members will be asked to make the decisions

bring foods that are no more than 200 calories per serving and don’t contain significant fat and sugar, such as fruit and nuts. Better yet, classrooms are encouraged to celebrate with a game or 5 minutes of extra recess.

Also, 50 percent of school fundraisers no longer involve the sale of food and/or beverages.

The district also has added new wellness courses this year: ● Healthy Living. A mandatory class for all sixth graders. ● Nutrition and Personal Wellness. An elective course for seventh-graders. ● Career and Life Planning. A mandatory course for eighth-graders that includes health.

Setting behaviors Dan Partridge, director of the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department, said it’s important to teach good eating habits at a young age.

“That’s when our behaviors are formed. Learning new tricks as a child is easier to do than as we get older and more set in our ways,” he said.

According to a community health assessment, 81 percent of residents do not eat the recommended five fruits and vegetables per day, and that’s a big concern.

“We have caught up with the state of Kansas as far as poor nutrition habits, and we need to reverse that,” he said.

Partridge said school gardens are a step in the right direction.

There are new gardens at Free State High School, Liberty Memorial Central Middle School, and Hillcrest and Sunset elementary schools. Student gardeners expect to see the fruits of their summer labor in the cafeterias. the previous board had sought.

Current board members Sanburn, Mark Bradford and Bob Byers all had been part of that board decision, acting upon a report from the task force that had included Shannon Kimball, who has since joined them on the board.

Like Kimball, Ingram also is new to the board. They took office in July after having been elected in April, along with Randy Masten and Keith Diaz Moore.

Diaz Moore, for one, is hoping that Ingram’s assertions — that small schools, not ones ranging from 300 to 500 students, are best for students, especially for those considered at-risk — lead to an ongoing discussion between board members and members of the working group.

“I see much more of a dialogue happening,” Diaz Moore said. “For the moment, I would like to place trust in this working group.”

Kan., man reported to police Wednesday that someone had stolen $4,875 worth of electronic items, including 600 DVD movies, a Sony digital camera and two videogame systems. The thefts occurred between July 8 and Wednesday in the 900 block of West 29th Terrace.

• A 21-year-old male Kansas University student reported to police in late July that someone stole more than $2,500 worth of property, including two laptop computers, from him in an aggravated burglary in the 1600 block of Tennessee Street. The report was made public Monday, and it occurred between July 23 and 11:30 a.m. July 24.

Morgan said the gardens are governed by the individual schools and so far, the food services department has not been involved.

She said the gardens provide additional fresh produce to the salad bars, but aren’t able to meet the demands of replacing something on the menu — at least not yet.

Setting an example Nancy O’Connor, project coordinator of the gardens at West, Hillcrest and Sunset Hill, thinks they are getting close.

She said the West garden has greatly expanded this season and they’ve planted crops more strategically. For example, they planted cucumbers later this year so they would be producing when school starts. They also planted more cherry tomatoes, which were a hit on the salad bar last fall, and added a watermelon patch.

O’Connor said the West garden is serving as an example to help set food policies locally and statewide. They are documenting where the water and compost come from and how much produce the garden yields.

She also pointed to the new raspberry bushes and fruit trees that were planted this year.

“What’s really cool is that each one of the gardeners planted a tree with the thought that it wasn’t for them. Those were planted for their little brothers and sisters. They really like the idea of leaving a mark at their school,” she said.

Tomorrow: Physical activity.

The task force’s report shows that the district’s elementary schools will open next week with at least 800 extra seats, a capacity that doesn’t include portables.

As envisioned by the task force, any other major physical changes would be the basis of a proposed bond issue put up for voter approval.

Other business In other action, board members approved: ● A $138.5 million budget for the 2011-12 year, backed by a property-tax rate that will cost the owner of a $150,000 home, for example, $973.43. ● A master agreement with the Lawrence Education Association that includes raises for all licensed educators in the district: $250 in base salary, plus a $1,000 one-time bump to be paid in December. ● Pay raises for administrators and classified personnel equal to a total of 3.3 percent for each employee group, in Excess space line with compensation Board members agreed that increases for teachers, which the district’s elementary administrators say work out schools have excess capacity to an average of 3.3 percent. in them, especially now that — Schools reporter Mark Fagan can be sixth-grade students will be reached at 832-7188. enrolled in middle schools.

Experts: Rural law enforcement offices easy target for savvy hackers ————

Websites of two Kansas offices among those attacked Staff and Wire Reports

L I T T L E R O C K , A R K . — An online attack against dozens of rural American law enforcement agencies in which emails, credit card numbers and crime tips were stolen and posted on the Internet has left some officials wondering how they can ward off future hacking attempts, if at all.

The attack by the hackers’ collective Anonymous on agencies in five states — Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri and Mississippi — was likely so broad in scope because many sites were hosted by the same company, Brooks-Jeffrey Marketing, of Mountain Home, Ark. But the theft exposed a “dirty little secret” about hacking — the best hackers can beat the tools meant to stop them and many potential victims don’t know it, said Anup Ghosh, the co-founder and CEO of the software security company Invincea.

“Everyone is getting compromised. You either know it or you don’t,” Ghosh said Monday.

Hackers have evolved Most of the technology meant to prevent hacking was developed in the mid- to late1990s, yet hackers have continued to develop their trade, Ghosh said.

“The guys writing the attack codes have evolved their technologies considerably,” he said.

What has changed is that “hacktivists” such as Anonymous want the world to know about their crimes, breaches that were once kept quiet or that went unnoticed by hacking targets are now being trumpeted.

“The hacktivists benefit by making public the fact that

“

The guys writing the attack codes have evolved their technologies considerably.”

— Anup Ghosh, the co-founder and CEO of the software security company Invincea they’ve compromised those networks and they’re putting the data out there essentially to embarrass those organizations and cause harm,” Ghosh said.

After posting the stolen law enforcement data online Saturday, Anonymous members taunted local sheriffs on Twitter and the group’s website, saying they wanted to embarrass and discredit law enforcement after a series of arrests targeting alleged members of the group.

Much of the pilfered information appeared to be benign, but some emails contained crime tips, profiles of gang members and other sensitive information. The attacked websites appeared to be back up Monday, and the stolen information remained online elsewhere.

In Missouri, nine county sheriffs and the state sheriffs association were hacked, and deputies’ credit card information and home addresses were made public. In small-town Gassville, Ark., hackers posted photos of teenage girls in their swimsuits that were sent to Police Chief Tim Mayfield as part of an ongoing investigation, Mayfield said. The hackers also said they used credit card numbers to make “involuntary donations” to a variety of groups. One person confirmed to The Associated Press that his credit card was used.

Kansas offices hacked The Jefferson County

Thompson as the bureau’s new director, pending Senate confirmation, said the KBI’s staffing levels and testing capacity seem to be a product of the recession and the effect of several small budget decisions made over time.

Sheriff ’s Off ice and the Kansas Sheriff’s Association were among the websites hacked by Anonymous.

It’s unclear whether any sensitive or confidential information was obtained from the Jefferson County website, said Sheriff Jeff Herrig.

“We don’t know,” said Herrig, expressing concern about the possibility that some of the leaked data could affect a case.

Sandy Horton, director of the Kansas Sheriff’s Association, said her group’s website does not contain any sensitive or personal information.

Both Herrig and Horton said the hacking caused problems with their websites, and they’ve been working on fixing any issues.

No other local law enforcement agencies were reportedly affected by the hacking, which is being investigated by the FBI. The hackers posted 10 gigabytes worth of data.

Anonymous said Saturday it attacked 70 mostly rural law enforcement websites in the U.S. in retaliation for the arrests of some of its sympathizers.

Anonymous may have gone after the sheriff’s office because the hosting company, Little Rock-based BrooksJeffrey Marketing, was an easy target, said Dick Mackey, vice president of consulting at Sudbury, Mass.-based SystemExperts.

Mackey said many organizations don’t see themselves as potential targets for international hackers, causing indifference that can leave them vulnerable, he said.

“It seems to me to be lowhanging fruit,” he said. “If you want to go after someone and make a point and want to have their defenses be low, go after someone who doesn’t consider themselves a target.”

policy choices have consequences, and we want to be sure that policymakers are fully informed when they make their decisions,” said Schmidt, who is originally from Independence.

We are encouraging customers to submit CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A loans, and we will let them know when we With the clock ticking and have sufficient funding less than 15 percent of the money spent, the Kansas available for their Energy Off ice informed money is left in the loan pro- project.” energy auditors and utility companies on July 20 that $22 million in the loan program was being diverted to fund three renewable energy projects overseen by the Kansas Department of Commerce.

When energy auditors received those letters, they were told it would be several weeks before the money in the loan program was fully expended.

But it took less than seven days before energy auditors were notified that the fund was already depleted.

“On July 26, they told us that was the last one,” Lawrence energy auditor Robert Coffman said. “Some of (my clients) missed out by a few hours.”

Coffman has 20 clients whose loan applications went unfunded. Among them is Wiley.

“It makes me very unhappy,” Wiley said. “I don’t think you should be awarding programs and then taking out funds.”

Bob Hughes, another Lawrence auditor, had seven clients who needed f inal approval for Eff iciency Kansas loans. Just one of them received it.

“We had a bunch of very disappointed people,” his wife, Delores Hughes, said.

The Kansas Corporation Commission, which oversees the Kansas Energy Office, wouldn’t provide to the Lawrence Journal-World an exact number on how much

gram.

“We don’t know until all the projects are fully complete, and there are many under way,” Cara SloanRamos noted in an email.

The loans are being funded on a “first-come, first-serve basis,” she wrote.

“We are encouraging customers to submit loans, and we will let them know when we have sufficient funding available for their project,” she wrote. The Kansas Energy Office has been looking for alternative funding sources.

Coffman, who is still submitting loan applications, has been told that between 150 to 200 loans are waiting for funding.

After news broke about the redirection of funds, the Kansas Energy Office was swamped with loan applications and audits. In the two weeks that followed, 230 audits and 168 loans were submitted. For the entire month of June (which auditors said was the busiest month on record for the Kansas Energy Office), the office received 427 audits and approved 161 loans.

State energy auditors are holding onto hope that all the money won’t be diverted to the Department of Commerce projects. Those projects, which still need to receive final approval from the DOE, include a biomethane production facility at an ethanol plant in Oakley, money to upgrade equipment used to harvest and transport

Last week, energy auditors and utility companies met with officials in Gov. Sam Brownback’s office where they pleaded to keep a portion of the money in the loan program. Coffman said he thought the program could continue to be successful for years if it had another $10 million.

The auditors said Brownback’s office made a decision to redirect the money last spring — before the loan program’s numbers began to ramp up and prove successful.

“They made a decision on data that is not relevant to what we have going on right now,” said Donna Sanders, a Kansas City energy auditor and member of the trade group Efficiency First. As the group waits for a response from the governor, Sanders has been advising the group to keep on working.

“It’s to everyone’s benefit to keep pushing as hard as we can,” she said.

Report: Policy, law changes haven’t reduced police chases WICHITA (AP) — New policies on police chases and a tougher state law have done little to reduce the number of Kansas drivers who flee from police and cause accidents, according to a newspaper report.

Fleeing drivers are causing accidents more than four times a week on Kansas roads, The Wichita Eagle reports. The Kansas Department of Transportation said five people died in police-pursuit crashes in 2009, slightly above the average for the decade.

Over the past decade, many Kansas police departments have changed their policies on high-speed chases, and a 2005 law made it possible to charge someone who killed someone while running from police with f irstdeg ree murder. Despite those changes, most Kansas law enforcement officials say the chases will continue because the current law does not impose tough enough consequences.

Under current Kansas law, drivers who flee from police under normal circumstances are guilty of misdemeanors on their first and second convictions. A first offense can be a felony if a driver fails to stop at a road block, drives around tire-deflating devices, is involved in an accident, engages in reckless driving, or commits five or more moving violations during the chase. A third conviction for eluding an officer is a felony.

Pratt County Sheriff Ver-

non Chinn said he would like to see the crime of eluding a police officer elevated at least to the level of the crime of driving under the influence of alcohol. But he said that’s unlikely as long as the state’s jails are full.

“I just personally think t h e p e n a l ty i s n o t h i g h e n o u g h , a n d t h a t ’s why you’re not seeing a signific a n t d e c re a s e i n p o l i ce c h a s e s ,” h e sa i d .

“The bottom line is t h e l aw we h ave encourages people to run.”

Transportation Department records show that from 2000 through 2009, 38 people died during police chases in Kansas. That included 26 drivers who were fleeing from police and seven who were passengers in vehicles that were being pursued.

Five of the victims were not involved in the chase that led to their deaths.

Wichita Deputy Police Chief Tom Stolz said his department rewrote its chase policy after a July 6, 1999, accident killed a couple from Independence. The driver was eventually convicted of second-deg ree murder because she ran a red light and caused the crash.

Because pursuing officers had the tag number of the car, Stolz said, they could have found the driver later.

BRIEFLY Trial in 2009 family slaying begins LYNDON — A judge has refused to move the trial of a Kansas man accused of murdering his wife, the wife’s grandmother and the couple’s two teenage daughters in November 2009.

Jury selection began Monday in Osage County District Court for the capital murder trial of 48-year-old Meriden resident James Kraig Kahler. The process is expected to take several days, with opening statements scheduled for next week.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reports the defense wanted the trial moved because of what it called “overwhelming prejudice” revealed in juror questionnaires. Osage County District Judge Phillip Fromme on Monday rejected the request, saying the defense failed to show any prejudice in news coverage.

Leavenworth gives Joplin new desks, chairs LEAVENWORTH — Leavenworth voters who approved a bond issue that helped replace desks and chairs at the city’s high school also helped the Joplin school district.

After hearing about the damage a May 22 tornado did to several Joplin schools, Leavenworth’s assistant principal Christina Lentz thought the school’s good fortune could be shared with Joplin.

Groups of Leavenworth athletes and Junior ROTC students on Friday loaded about 300 desks and 150 chairs, which arrived Saturday in Joplin.

t takes a community to grow a site like WellCommons. We’re 16 months old now, and we’re really star!ng to take o". We’ve just passed 150,000 page views, with 35,000 unique visitors.

And that means, on average, every day, more than a thousand people who are interested in health are checking out one or more of the posts on the site— Karrey Bri#’s posts, Dave Johnson’s posts, Marilyn Hull’s posts, Megan Stuke’s posts‌everyone in our community who posts or makes a comment. There’s no doubt that more stories and informa!on from more people means that more people come to the site. And, compared to other similar community sites, we’re on a trajectory of solid growth.

When we started WellCommons, we hoped for two things: that the site would become the go-to place for local health news for our community; and that members of our community involved and interested in health would consider the site theirs, and want to post their news and informa!on, thoughts and essays to the site.

It’s happening! Groups, which are the core of any community and its ability to address its challenges, are also the backbone of WellCommons. People have started more than 130 groups, which more than 2,000 people have joined. We wanted at least half of the posts every day to come from the community, and on two or three days a week, they do.

A while ago, when we were gathering informa!on to submit WellCommons for an award, we asked a few people if they thought WellCommons was useful to the community. Here are some responses: Marilyn Hull, LiveWell Lawrence facilitator: “One solu!on Wellcommons provides is that it puts us in the driver’s seat. I used to send news releases to the paper, and they seldom resulted in stories. Now, we don’t have editors deciding what is newsworthy. We get to post our news, and then our community can decide if it is worth reading.

Wellcommons is the only place I need to go to see the health news of the day in my community and beyond.

It has put me in contact with others in the community who share my passion.

Just the other day, a nutri!onist from a major local

grocery store messaged me through Wellcommons. We set up a mee!ng, and she volunteered to help with one of our projects.�

Linda Co!n, Co!n’s Hardware & Rental (site of a weekly farmer’s market): “I have seen a noted increase in local food awareness and local food consump!on.

I have seen numerous people becoming involved, shopping at farmers markets and a#ending local food related events because of what they have seen or read on WellCommons.�

Lisa Horn, Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department spokesperson: “WellCommons con!nues to bring to the forefront a number of issues surrounding health that people in our community may not realize.

Each day, health topics are in the news. It makes perfect sense to have a central website devoted to health and especially, local health issues. The LawrenceDouglas County Health Department has beneďƒžted from WellCommons by connec!ng with our community partners and residents.

Through the site, our agency also has been able to bring awareness to upcoming events such as our drivethrough ďƒ&#x;u shot clinic and current issues such as teen birth rates and emergency preparedness.

As a result of this input, and our track record over the last 16 months, the Associated Press Managing Editors awarded WellCommons the Innovator of the Month award. It wasn’t Innovator of the Year, as we’d hoped, but our managing editor, Dennis Anderson, who’s on the APME board, says it’s like ge$ng second place. And that’s something to crow about, considering our compe!tors are thousands of news organiza!ons across the U.S., many of them a LOT larger and with more resources than the World Company.�

We’ve also been ge$ng some other na!onal a#en!on.

Nieman Reports magazine published an account of WellCommons’ development, and Stree%ight.com, a site that focuses on new local sit news sites, also did a proďƒžle. ne We’re not res!ng on our laurels. la Among the praise from f our community came a list of things we need to ďƒžx ďƒž or add. We know that we s!ll s have a lot of work to do d to make WellCommons more useful. In the Fall, we hope to be ďƒžnishing up our resources sec!on. We want to work closer with our local organiza!ons who support WellCommons to show how to best use the site to get their informa!on to people who are looking for it.

Those of you who’ve been wai!ng to jump in, please do! If you have any ques!ons, don’t hesitate to message us through the site, email us, or scroll down to the bo#om of any page on WellCommons and leave a message, even if it’s just to say “Hi!�.

Stocks plunge on 1st day since credit lowering

By Paul Wiseman Associated Press Writer

The stock market buckled Monday under the weight of a crisis in Europe and danger of recession at home. Reeling from a downgrade of American debt, the Dow Jones industrials plunged 634 points.

It was the worst day for the market since the financial crisis in the fall of 2008 and extended Wall Street’s sudden, sharp decline. Stocks have lost 15 percent of their value in just two and a half weeks.

Monday was the first trading day since Standard and Poor’s downgraded the United States’ risk-free credit rating, and the selling started at the opening bell. The Dow dropped 250 points in minutes. For the rest of the day, investors looked for safer places for their money. With few buyers left for stocks, the market could only drift lower.

The Dow finished the day down 5.5 percent. The point decline was the worst since Dec. 1, 2008, and the sixthsteepest ever. The average ended at 10,809.85, its first close under 11 ,000 since November.

In a bit of irony following the S&P downgrade, investors decided U.S. debt was one of the safest places to be. They also sought refuge in gold, which set a record price.

“The S&P downgrade of U.S. government debt is the least of our problems,” said economist Scott Brown at Raymond James & Associates. “The bigger worry is subpar economic growth and the threat of a new recession.”

Economists at Goldman Sachs peg the chances of another recession at one in three, most likely in the next six to nine months. The threat was barely talked about earlier this summer.

The U.S. economy grew at a feeble 0.8 percent annual pace the first half of 2011 , its slowest “Markets will since the rise and fall. But end of the this is the United Great Recession in June States of 2009. ManuAmerica. No facturing matter what and consome agency sumer may say, we’ve spending always been and have slowed dramaticalalways will be a ly. triple-A Oil prices country.” plunged 6 percent to the lowest — President price of the Barack Obama year Monday — $81.31 a barrel. Investors predict a weakening economy means that consumers and businesses will buy less gasoline.

The turmoil in the U.S. markets was the end of a daylong rout that swept the world. Stocks lost 4 percent in South Korea and 2 percent in Japan, then 5 percent in Germany and 4 percent in France.

In the U.S., stocks fell even though Moody’s, another major credit rating agency, stood by its top rating of Aaa for the United States. It said it could downgrade the U.S. if it did not cut its deficit, “but it is early to conclude that such measures will not be forthcoming.”

Financial markets were not comforted by an afternoon statement by President Barack Obama, who said Washington needs more “common sense and compromise” to tame its debt.

“Markets will rise and fall,” he said. “But this is the United States of America. No matter what some agency may

KU professor talks downgrade, markets Staff report

Christopher Anderson, a Kansas University business professor, offered a few thoughts Monday on the credit downgrade and market situation. ● A primary factor in the decision to downgrade the country’s credit rating is the ratio of the country’s debt to its gross domestic product, Anderson said. He said that people can forget about the denominator in the equation, the GDP. If the nation slips and enters another recession, it will have a direct effect on the rating, even if the country takes debt reduction measures.

“That will be that much harder to catch up,” he said. ● Occasionally in the past, a downgrade has proved to be neutral or even good news for a government, he said, as it has freed up a government to take actions it had been avoiding to maintain its good credit rating.

Japan, for example, weathered a similar downgrade it received in 2002, he said.

The U.S., however, has a number of factors that make it unique, he said, making say, we’ve always been and always will be a triple-A country.”

Across the Atlantic, policymakers struggled to contain a debt crisis of their own. The threat of default has spread from relatively small countries like Greece and Portugal to bigger ones — Italy and Spain.

If those countries failed to meet their debt payments, Italian and Spanish banks would absorb losses on their holdings of their countries’ government bonds.

comparisons to other countries difficult. ● The markets are falling, but Anderson said it likely wasn’t the downgrade by itself that had investors concerned as much as political gridlock in the United States, other debt issues in Europe and a heightened concern about the growth potential of the economy.

“For the short term, just hold on tight,” he said. The slumping market will allow some investors an opportunity to go bargain shopping on stocks, but people are still flocking to Treasury bonds, which are still seen as the safest bet, he said. ● As more people invest in Treasury bonds, interest rates are falling, too, he said.

For people who have good credit, this shift offers another opportunity to refinance mortgages at historically low rates, Anderson said. ● Uncertainty is definitely ruling the day, he said. The VIX, an index that is a measure of how volatile the market is, has doubled since last Wednesday.

“There’s a hell of a lot of uncertainty right now, because people don’t know what this means,” he said.

Then the pain could spread outward — to foreign banks that made loans to Spanish or Italian banks and beyond.

The European Central Bank stepped in Monday, buying billions of euros’ worth of Italian and Spanish bonds to drive down dangerously high interest rates. But the move does nothing to address the underlying problem: huge Italian and Spanish debts that could require a bailout and strain the resources of the European Union.

BRIEFLY Ohio gunman was in property dispute

friend, Becky Dieter, neighbor Carol Eshleman said.

COPLEY, OHIO — A gunman who killed seven people during a weekend rampage in his Ohio neighborhood cornered one of his victims, his girlfriend’s 11year-old nephew, in the basement of a house, ordered out the family sheltering the boy and then shot him, police said Monday.

Michael Hance’s cold-blooded killing of such a young victim after stalking seven other people on a tidy suburban Akron street named Goodenough Avenue was, neighbors said, the culmination of a dispute over a home that once belonged to his girlfriend’s parents.

Hance, 51, had no previous criminal record before the outburst late Sunday morning and his death in a shootout with police in Copley.

Hance had recently grown angry over residents’ comments about the property where he lived with his girl-

Tape reveals polygamist training girls for sex SAN ANGELO, TEXAS — Softly telling five girls to “set aside all your inhibitions,” convicted polygamist leader Warren Jeffs was heard Monday giving his child brides instructions on how to please him sexually during a graphic 10minute tape played for a Texas jury.

Prosecutors later rested their case, and jurors could hand down their punishment to Jeffs as early as today. He faces life in prison after being the same jury convicted him last week of sexually assaulting two of his “brides,” who were 12 and 15.

Jeffs’ attorneys rested without calling any witnesses. They did so as Jeffs sat in another room of the courthouse, boycotting the proceedings for a third straight day.

S&P cites political angle as decision factor

By Tom Raum Associated Press Writer

W A S H I N G T O N — The S&P downgrade was more of a statement on the toxic political landscape in Washington than a comment on the nation’s ability to pay its bills. But S&P has its own checkered history.

Just a few years ago, the company gave its top triple-A rating to some of the mortgagebacked securities that helped cause the Great Recession.

Could it be wrong again?

New York-based Standard and Poor’s was upfront about its focus on the political angle, citing the long standoff between President Barack Obama and Congress as a key factor in its unprecedented

downgrade of the government’s credit rating.

“We think the debacle over raising the debt ceiling is one illustration of that,” John Chambers, head of S&P’s debt rating committee, said on Monday. He said that the political gridlock and S&P’s analysis of a rising U.S. debt burden in coming years prompted the downgrade.

Yet the credit-rating industry itself has been harshly criticized since the financial crisis of 2008-2009, and S&P’s downgrade seems certain to increase congressional scrutiny.

The company was hardly revealing anything that wasn’t already well known by financial markets, politicians, analysts and probably most

Crash highlights role of U.S. elite forces

By Deb Riechmann and Lolita C. Baldor Associated Press Writers

KABUL, AFGHANISTAN — The loss of dozens of elite American troops to a Taliban rocket-propelled grenade is a window on the war to come — focused increasingly on the type of special operations the troops were pursuing when their helicopter crashed.

The U.S. military released new details Monday about the crash in the Tangi Valley, a dangerous area of Wardak province on the doorstep of the Afghan capital. The 30 U.S. troops, seven Afghan commandos and an Afghan interpreter who died were taking part in one of thousands of nighttime operations being conducted annually across the nation.

everyday Americans: The divisive political atmosphere in Washington has been leading to near-paralysis.

But is the rating agency qualified to make political as well as economic judgments?

“We didn’t need a rating agency to tell us that we need a balanced long-term approach to deficit reduction. That was true last week.

That was true last year. That was true the day I took office,” Obama said Monday in his first remarks on the subject since the downgrade.

“And we didn’t need a rating agency to tell us that the gridlock in Washington over the last several months has not been constructive, to say the least.”

The sheer number of these missions is evidence that progress in the nearly decade-long war depends more on efforts to kill or capture insurgents than the overarching strategy of building support for the Afghan government at grassroots levels.

And these missions will take on relatively more importance as troop levels decline.

Saturday’s crash of the CH47 Chinook helicopter was deadliest single loss for U.S. forces in the war and raised anew questions in the United States about why U.S. troops are still fighting the unpopular conflict.

U.S. leaders vowed on Monday not to let the loss rewrite the war strategy.

“We will press on and we will succeed,” President Barack Obama said.

Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta said, “As heavy a loss as this was, it would even be more tragic if we allowed it to derail this country from our efforts to defeat al-Qaida and deny them a safe haven in Afghanistan.”

In Kabul, German Brig.

Gen. Carsten Jacobson, a spokesman for the U.S.-led coalition, said, “The incident, as tragic as it was in its magnitude, will have no influence on the conduct of operations.”

Jacobson said that troops continued Monday to recover every last piece of the helicopter and that no one was being allowed in or out of the heavily secured crash site during the investigation. A ceremony was held at Bagram Air Field, a massive military installation north of Kabul, to pay respects to fallen service members being sent back to the United States.

2 more Kansans among those killed GARDNER — Three Army reservists based in northeast Kansas are among the victims of a deadly helicopter crash in Afghanistan.

The victims include 23year-old Spc. Alexander Bennett, a flight engineer and door gunner from Olathe and 31-year-old Chief Warrant Officer 2 Bryan Nichols, a pilot from Kansas City, Mo. Lt. Col. Richard Sherman, the former commander of Bravo Company, 7th Battalion, 158th Aviation Regiment based at the Gardner airport, said he received confirmation of the deaths late Saturday.

A third soldier from the unit, Spc. Spencer Duncan of Olathe, has also been confirmed dead in the crash.

EDITORIALS

Political reality The idea that the majority party holds the advantage in congressional and legislative redistricting is simply a fact.

A

t a recent hearing about congressional redistricting in Kansas, House Speaker Mike O’Neal dismissed the concerns of Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley about districts being redrawn to benefit Republicans as a “conspiracy theory.”

Let’s be honest. The idea that whatever party is in control of the redistricting process is going to “conspire” to redraw districts to their party’s advantage isn’t a theory; it’s a simple fact. It’s just how the system works.

Sen. Tim Owens, an Overland Park Republican and chairman of the Senate redistricting committee, amplified O’Neal’s point by saying he had no intention of gerrymandering districts to benefit one party in the next elections. Gerrymandering, in its most extreme form, creates oddly shaped districts, sometimes with narrow tentacles reaching out to pick up voters in the majority party. That may not occur this year in Kansas, but that doesn’t mean district lines won’t be shifted in ways that reduce the influence of voters in the minority party.

It’s just the way the process work. This year — and most years in Kansas — the Republicans are in the majority in the state Legislature and, therefore, in the driver’s seat when it comes to redrawing congressional and legislative districts. Although it rarely happens in Kansas, if Democrats were in control, they would do the same thing.

That’s why it seems a bit disingenuous to maintain, as O’Neal did, that, “It’s all about the maps that make sense and do not overtly politicize the situation.” Sure, the maps have to equalize population among the districts and, in Kansas, they don’t usually need to involve unusual shapes. The process may not be “overtly” political, but it’s hard to deny that splitting Douglas County, one of the most Democratic counties in the state, between two congressional districts could help Republicans hold onto seats in those districts.

Based on new U.S. Census figures, the 3rd District, which includes Johnson County, Wyandotte County and part of Douglas County, will have to be reduced this year. If all of Douglas County moves into the 2nd District, there might be enough Democrats in Douglas and Shawnee counties to influence an election. Another idea Hensley said had been floated — the one that drew O’Neal’s “conspiracy theory” label — was to find a way to put Wyandotte County in the 1st District, put all of Douglas County in the 3rd and keep Shawnee in the 2nd, thereby preventing the formation of a significant Democratic voting block in any district.

Whether it’s “overt” or not, there’s no denying the politicized nature of this process. The only way to reduce or eliminate the political influence in redistricting is to take it out of the hands of partisan legislators and into the hands of a non-partisan independent commission. A few other states have done it. Kansas has tried to do it a couple of times, but — not surprisingly — members of the majority party in the Legislature didn’t move the proposals forward.

Probably the only way such a plan ever would gain traction in the state would be through a groundswell of support from the Kansas electorate that forces legislators to let go of this political perk. It’s too late for this decade, but there’s always 2021.

Iowa events will set stage for N. H. PORTSMOUTH, N.H. — April is not the cruelest month, August is.

It was August when the military machinery of two world wars cranked into gear, August when Germany and Soviet Russia signed their pact of cynicism and militarism, August when the bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, when the Tonkin Gulf resolution was passed, when the tanks moved into Czechoslovakia, when Iraq invaded Kuwait, when President Bill Clinton faced the nation with an awful truth he thought he had hidden.

And so we began this month with the follies in Washington and continue this week with the follies of Ames.

The debt-ceiling episode in Washington, unworthy of the American people, is one of those historical markers whose meaning will become clear only as the years pass. Both sides turned a debate about nothing into a debate about everything, and in the course of doing so alienated everybody.

The result is that the 2012 election, 15 months away, is now seen as the crucible of decision, and it is sadly fitting that its first test is Saturday in Ames, Iowa, where Republicans are holding a straw poll, which also means nothing but somehow will be interpreted to mean something, if not everything.

The Iowa Straw Poll, held on the baking plains in the oven-heat of summer, is even less democratic than the Iowa caucuses, which usually occur on the coldest night of the year. It is an event where issues are barely spoken but displays of political power — none of which has anything to do with the budget deficit, the debate about taxes, the future of entitlements, the role of American power in the world or the fate of democracy around the globe — are rewarded.

If you doubt the lack of soundness and sense inherent in this

the contests in “IowaAlready, and New Hampshire have taken on unusually distinct characteristics, though there have been tinges of this in the past.”

event, let me remind you that the Rev. Pat Robertson won this spectacle in 1987 and that Sen. Phil Gramm tied for the lead in 1995. Such worthy figures as Sen. Lamar Alexander and Sen. Elizabeth H. Dole dropped out of the GOP race after poor showings in this event, which is a tractor pull for policy wonks.

This year’s straw poll comes amid an especially silly season — but a soberly serious juncture — in the Republican presidential race. It has begun to heat up in Iowa, which likely will hold its caucuses in early February, and here in New Hampshire, which likely will hold the first primaries eight days later.

Already, the contests in Iowa and New Hampshire have taken on unusually distinct characteristics, though there have been tinges of this in the past.

In the 1988 Democratic race, Iowa was about protectionism and New Hampshire was about competence in governance. In the Republican race, Iowa was about faith and family values and New Hampshire was about job creation.

But the gulf between the Iowa

and New Hampshire contests has never been as great as it is this time.

Iowa is about abortion and fealty to a new Republican ideal of conservatism that melds social issues with ferocious fiscal discipline. New Hampshire, days later, reacts to Iowa — and so it is about whether the tea party impulses that are so strong in Iowa will resonate here and whether the verities of old New England conservatism (thrift, rectitude, even such nonpolitical elements as modesty and character) still have a place in a state that is swiftly becoming suburbanized and in a country that seems determined to remain polarized.

As Washington burned last week, Republicans here in New Hampshire were conferring quietly by telephone with Gov. Rick Perry of Texas — he was 40 minutes on the horn with freshman U.S. Sen. Kelly Ayotte, according to one account — and debating whether former Gov. Mitt Romney of Massachusetts was a wiz or a dud as a job creator during his years as governor between 2003 and 2007.

This tells us that as Iowa leans toward its Saturday appointment with pointlessness, the race in New Hampshire has yet to take shape. The principles are there — Obama is a disaster and the national economy is still in the doldrums, despite a state unemployment rate that is unusually low, around 5 percent — but the principals are not.

It’s not that anyone here is pining for former Gov. Sarah Palin — she attracts remarkably little interest in New Hampshire — or even that desperate for Perry, who as a Texan is the very definition of an alien to these parts, to join the fray. It’s simply that it will likely boil down to a struggle between Romney, who owns a vacation home here, and whoever is selected by Iowa.

The big unknown is the character of the electorate in this state, where independents can vote in the Republican primary.

Will Republican regulars line up with Romney for his familiarity, his dependability, his acceptability? Or will they look at Romney as an opportunist drawn to the center, or even the left, by the poisoned political atmosphere of Massachusetts and then drawn to the center, or really the right, by his sense that that’s where the votes are in Republican primaries? Or will they gravitate to the new, untested and unsullied philosophers of the tea party right and embrace, as their Democratic rivals did in 2008 when they salvaged Hillary Rodham Clinton’s campaign, a toughtalking woman, Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota?

Will the independents, some of whom voted for Ralph Nader in 2000 and helped deny Al Gore the presidency, play the cerebral game of sabotaging the Republicans by voting for the most moderate contender in the race, probably former Gov. Jon Huntsman of Utah, or play the more cynical game of sabotaging the Republicans by voting for the most strident Republican in the field, probably Bachmann, whose intelligence and intensity they underestimate and whom they think Obama would defeat easily?

But what is lingering in the brisk air of a New Hampshire summer is the possibility that Iowa’s straw poll and its caucuses will send Bachmann, whose style and rhetoric are smoking hot, to face off against Romney, whose style and rhetoric are Utah and Winnipesaukee cool.

Which brings us to the final question of a Granite State August, posed as Iowa prepares for its test of strength in straw: Could this be the gravest, greatest New Hampshire primary ever?

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Aug. 9, 1911: YEARS “According to AGO the regular report IN 1911 of Dr. S. T. Gillispie, county health officer, there were just three times as many deaths as births in Douglas county during the month of July.

His report shows 32 deaths and but 8 births during this time. The deaths were caused as follows: Dysentery, 1; Cancer, 4; Typhoid, 2; Old Age, 8; Apoplexy, 1; Stomach Trouble, 2; Child Birth, 1; Heart Prostration, 1; Rheumatism, 1; Paralysis, 1; Gangrene, 1; Poison (accidental), 1; Brights disease, 2; Spasms, 1; Dropsy, 2; Tuberculosis, 2; Hemorrhage, 1.”

Tea party bullies

Dental needs

Worried for future

To the editor: Congratulations! The current credit downgrade is brought to you by the tea party patriots. It was pretty heady stuff. Tea party patriots sounded so, well, patriotic. Maybe it was just the shot in the arm the country needed to get it on the right track again, whatever that meant. When they told us it was time to get our country back, my question was, back from what? But it sounded promising, and it was important to give them a chance.

The first clue that not all was well with the tea party was when its most vocal adherents showed up at rallies with guns strapped to various body parts. Well, I thought, that’s pretty juvenile and dangerous, but perhaps that’s just a lunatic fringe. We should give them a chance to express their viewpoints. A third party might be a healthy addition in the political equation.

As time went on, it became evident these people were not patriots, but they were surely bullies. It was an embarrassment to listen to the ranting and raving. Pretty much akin to junkyard dogs, with just as little common sense.

In the latest debt ceiling fiasco, congressional tea party members have lived up to their least flattering image. They have conveniently forgotten they were elected to lead, not cave in to unscrupulous power brokers who have no loyalty to this nation or its people. Sadly, one of the biggest casualties in this political struggle might be the reputation of the Grand Old Party.

Where are you Bob Dole? We could use your type of conservative Republican patriotism.

Anna Slemmer, Lawrence

To the editor: The Kansas Dental Association’s call for an additional 140 dentists to see Medicaid patients, while commendable, is not enough to help the thousands of children who lack access to a dentist. In fact, even if every dentist in Kansas saw “a few” Medicaid patients, as the KDA urges, it wouldn’t help children who live in rural areas, where there are few or no dentists at all. Right now, 93 counties are short on dentists and 13 counties have none. A piecemeal approach won’t work; we need to expand the dental team, which would extend the reach of the dental workforce, create new jobs, and increase access to routine dental care for everyone.

This year, lawmakers considered legislation that would add new mid-level providers to the dental team, similar to adding nurse practitioners to the health care team. Registered dental practitioners would provide routine care like cleanings and fillings, while freeing up dentists to provide services that only they can provide.

Other states and 52 countries use this approach and some of our strongest advocates for children and the medically underserved want to build on this solution and make it work for Kansas.

While I hope that more dentists decide to participate in Medicaid, I also believe it’s time to try a new approach to ensure that all children can receive routine oral health care where they live and when they need it.

Rich Minder, Success By 6 Coalition of Douglas County

To the editor: I was embarrassed and shocked Friday morning to open the J-W and see the top picture of “a fair to remember.” What a sad way to promote a 4-H and FFA fair!

I guess most would now call me “old-fashioned” when I say my fondest memories of the fair were all the preparation, planning and showing an exhibit at the fair and receiving a ribbon and some prize money for my efforts. We were trained in our 4-H clubs to honor, respect and develop ourselves, as our pledge was of our head, heart, hands and health and our motto was “to make the best better.”

How can any of the pledges be honored with young folks doing the things as in the photo.

They can’t be out of high school yet. They probably don’t have jobs. And did their parents know where they were and what they were doing, or, worse yet, care where they were?

Did I hear that Lawrence is sobbing about the loss of their SRS office? Well, if our young folks don’t get some leadership soon, an SRS office won’t be able to handle all the cases that will be coming to it. America and every community, such as Lawrence, needs to wake up to the fact that these young people will be our future. Let’s get them interested in things that matter and will build character for a better future for them and us all.

Senators want plan for Mo. River management

By Henry C. Jackson Associated Press Writer

W A S H I N G T O N — Senators from seven states lining the Missouri River on Monday asked the Army Corps of Engineers to outline plans for next year’s flood preparations.

The senators wrote in a letter sent to two top Corps officials that the agency must learn from this year’s devastating flood season and apply those lessons to next year’s plan.

“We believe it is critical that lessons learned from this year’s event be factored into next year’s plan and that appropriate mechanisms be incorporated to allow for deviation from that plan,” the senators wrote to Maj. Gen. William T. Grisoli, Deputy Commanding General, and Brig. Gen. John McMahon, Commander of the Northwest Division of the Army Corps of Engineers.

The Corps has come under sharp criticism for its management of the Missouri River, which endured a brutal flood season. Levees were compro-

mised in Iowa, Nebraska and Missouri after heavy spring rains and late snowmelt.

In addition to asking for a plan of preparations for next year, the senators are asking the Corps what authority the Corps needs to make changes to its annual operating plan for the river and whether any additional authority will be needed.

“Based on our discussions, we understand the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has authority to make oneyear adjustments to the Missouri River Master Water Control Manual as part of the system’s annual operating plan and that your after action review of this year’s flood event will form the basis for any adjustments to the 2012 operating plan,” the senators wrote.

The letter is a byproduct of the newly formed Missouri River Working Group. The senators in the working group, who all signed on to the letter, are from North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas and Montana.

Ending on a good note The Free State Orchestra recognized 13 seniors in concert on May 12 in the Free State auditorium.

KU’s Marshall, who survived cancer battle, practiced in spring

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

After enjoying a spring in which he was both cancer-free and one of the stars of the Kansas University football team’s annual spring game, sophomore defensive end D.J. Marshall has elected to call it a career.

Marshall, of Mesquite, Texas, was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma in 2009. After a private battle with the disease that included regular trips to Tulsa, Okla., Marshall for treatment and a lot of support from his Jayhawk family, the 6-foot-3, 240pound defensive lineman officially was declared cancer-free last November. He joined his team for the final week of practice and used that momentum to deliver a strong spring. In the spring game, he made back-toback tackles for losses, including a sack, and also was honored at halftime for his courage and grace in the fight against cancer.

At the end of spring drills, Marshall was in the mix for playing time. At the end of Monday’s practice, his college career was over. KU coach Turner Gill made the announcement.

“D.J. Marshall has decided to end his football career,” Gill said.

“He will remain at Kansas as a student, while completing his degree in Africa/Africa-American Studies. (He) remains in remission.”

The loss of Marshall likely will hit the Jayhawks more mentally than physically. Although their defensive line has question marks, it features plenty of young talent that should be able to overcome Marshall’s departure. Filling the void he provided as an inspirational figure could be tougher.

There’s no question that the decision to step away from the game he loved weighed heavily on Marshall’s mind. In April, following the spring game, Marshall mapped out the path he believed he could take.

“I hope to see my name on the short list of names when people look at Kansas football,” he told the Journal-World’s Tom Keegan.

“I want to be one of the names teams think about when they play us. I want to try to introduce my legacy as a football player, not just my situation.”

DE to miss 2-3 weeks In other news from Monday’s practice, Gill said defensive end Pat Lewandowski would miss two to three weeks because of a leg injury.

Lewandowski, a red-shirt freshman from Blue Valley West High in Overland Park, had a fantastic Lewandowski spring. Most of that time was spent at defensive tackle, where the coaches moved him in hopes of providing depth on the inside. At the end of the spring, Lewandowski was shifted back to his original position, a move that Gill said was made because he believed it better fit Lewandowski’s strengths and size.

KU all-star game in works?: KU is reportedly looking into playing host to an “NBA alumni weekend,” which would bring the Jayhawks’ NBA players back to Allen Fieldhouse for an exhibition game in September.

“It’s something we’ve talked about. That’s certainly something we’d consider doing,” KU coach Bill Self said Monday. “We have talked about a lot of things, and that is one of them. It’s certainly an option.”

KU’s players in the NBA are: Cole Aldrich (Oklahoma City), Darrell Arthur (Memphis), Mario Chalmers (Miami), Nick Collison (OKC), Drew Gooden (Milwaukee), Xavier Henry (Memphis), Kirk Hinrich (Atlanta), Darnell Jackson (Sacramento), Marcus Morris (Houston), Markieff Morris (Phoenix), Paul Pierce (Boston), Brandon Rush (Indiana), Josh Selby (Memphis) and Julian Wright (Toronto).

Details are expected to be announced in the near future if the proposed game becomes reality. The current Jayhawks would not be allowed to participate in the game, with practice not allowed to start until Oct. 14.

COMMENTARY

South Fla. misses Ricky already

By Greg Cote McClatchy Newspapers

There goes the most interesting athlete in the history of South Florida sports.

Seven years ago we were burning his jerseys in effigy, cursing his name. We have called him a pothead and a quitter, questioned his loyalty and mocked his eccentricities. Yet he leaves us on good terms as the favorite son no one fully understood, the spiritual wanderer who searched a long time to finally find himself.

We miss him already, and he has barely gone.

Ricky Williams, 34, a free-agent running back, signed with the Baltimore Ravens on Monday. It was not huge news across the NFL, but it felt like it was in Miami, where nine years closer to an odyssey than a career comes quietly to an end.

What a long, strange trip it’s been, if I might quote kindred soul Jerry Garcia.

Williams might have been the greatest Dolphins running back ever. He would own all the club records and we’d be hoisting his name onto the team’s stadium Honor Roll by consensus if he hadn’t missed two full seasons and almost all of a third of his own doing. Even with that he leaves as the club’s No. 2 all-time rusher, just a few hundred yards shy of hallowed golden-era champion Larry Csonka.

No Dolphin ever ran for more yards in a season than Williams’ 1,853 in 2002, or more yards in a game than his 228, or for more career 100-yard games.

And yet one is hard-pressed to think of football first when one considers Williams’ time here, and how to judge his legacy. That is part of the problem, but also part of the unending fascination.

It’s as if he was the accidental athlete, a man who just happened to be extraordinarily gifted at football but never seemed quite comfortable in its world.

Williams was as good as any running back in the league when he abruptly quit two days before training camp in 2004, leaving a team in the lurch, teammates stunned, fans outraged. The outcry only rose in volume with the news he faced a league suspension for a drug violation, not his first.

He was an athlete who turned his back on his sport and its fame and riches to, as he would say later, “find myself and go deeper into myself.” He was a guy with long dreadlocks who loved to smoke weed and would spend much of that season out of football living by himself in a tent in rural Australia, meditating. Going deeper.

The late-night monologues sharpened the knives. He was a national punchline.

Williams returned to the sport in 2005 only to be suspended for yet another failed drug test, made to sit out the 2006 NFL season and instead playing in Canada. Reinstatement in the midst of the ’07 season was short-lived as he was lost for the year to an injury his first game back.

Things were changing, though. Perceptions of Williams were reforming.

Somehow by 2008 Williams was seen as an elder statesman, drug-free now, more mature, at peace, admirably accepting of his role as a backup to Ronnie Brown.

Williams had become an unlikely favorite of Bill Parcells, no less, the gruff football lifer. A man who had been so self-centered in ’04 had at last found his own center and balance.

With the cloud of drug suspensions past and no longer a threat, we began to appreciate Williams for who he was. We began to see his layers. We began to feel the cool breeze of what made him, well, yes: odd.

There was just something so damned refreshing about him. At times he seemed like a flower child dropped in the midst of this armored violence.

He was like nobody else. He was like that before we met him, was like that before we knew him, and never stopped being that person. He was flaky to some, but he never stopped being real.

Williams, on Twitter, sent this simple message out Monday afternoon: “Thank you, Dol-fans, it’s been fun.”

of the injuries, said a person Monday night familiar with the team who requested anonymity because no one was authorized to speak about his condition.

JoePa, notorious for his stubbornness and pain threshold, walked away from the collision and stayed on his feet for the rest of the practice period before being encouraged to get checked out by a doctor.

Defensive end Ellis bolts Jets for Patriots Defensive end Shaun Ellis is switching sides in one of the NFL’s most intense rivalries.

The two-time Pro Bowl selection signed with the New England Patriots on Monday after 11 seasons with the New York Jets. The Patriots also signed another former first-round draft pick, free agent defensive end Andre Carter, who has played 10 seasons with the San Francisco 49ers and the Washington Redskins.

Ellis, 34, had become the longest-tenured player on the Jets since he was taken 12th overall with a pick that New York obtained as compensation for letting coach Bill Belichick sign with the Patriots.

“It’s the same; I’m just on the other side now,” Ellis told reporters in Foxborough, Mass., after the Patriots practiced. “It feels like home. It feels like a place that’s all about winning, like they have been. I’m just happy to be a part of it.”

The Jets had said that they wanted Ellis back but offered only the veteran minimum of $910,000 and, Ellis said, refused to increase it substantially when he went back to them for a final offer.

Goldson’s signing, the Niners did say they signed tight end Chris Blohm to a three-year deal. A San Francisco native, Blohm had 27 catches for 270 yards and two touchdowns last year at Yale.

Bears waive Gutierrez, Dierking BOURBONNAIS, ILL. — The Chicago Bears have waived quarterback Matt Gutierrez and running back Dan Dierking.

Gutierrez spent part of the preseason last year with Chicago and was signed to a reserve/future contract in January. He has played sparingly since he entered the league with New England in 2007 as an undrafted free agent out of Idaho State.

Dierking was an undrafted free agent from Purdue.

CHIEFS

Ex-Ravens McClain, Gregg welcomed in K.C.

Associated Press Sports Writer

caught,” Kotchman said of his third homer over the last six games.

Rays rookie Jeremy Hellickson, 3-0 in four starts during July, gave up one run and 1 six hits in 7 ⁄ 3 innings. He

struck out seven and walked three.

“It was a great game,” Kansas City manager Ned Yost said.

ROYALS “There was outstanding VS. RAYS pitching When: 6:10 tonight from both starters.

Where: St. Hochevar Petersburg, Fla. was spectacTV: FSKC (cable ular, and Helchs. 36, 236) lickson was spectacular.”

Eric Hosmer put the Royals ahead, 1-0, on a first-inning RBI single. Alex Gordon, who had been hitless in his first 37 at-bats at Tropicana Field, hit a leadoff double and later scored on Hosmer’s oppositefield hit to left.

Kansas City had a runner in scoring position in four of the first six innings, but went 2for-10 in those situations. K.C. also failed to take advantage after getting two on with one out during the eighth.

S T . J O S E P H , M O . — Todd Haley remembers watching Kelly Gregg stuff the Kansas City Chiefs’ vaunted rush attack. He has vivid memories of punishing fullback Le’Ron McClain clearing the way for Ray Rice.

So when both players became available during free agency, the Kansas City head coach was on board with signing them. And now, just a few short months after helping the Baltimore Ravens eliminate the Chiefs from the playoffs, the veteran duo is being counted on to help them get back.

“Really, I’m just coming in and doing anything I can to help the team win,” said McClain, a two-time Pro Bowl fullback. “If I have to block, I’m going to do that. If I need to run, I’ll do that. ... It’s not about me, it’s about the Chiefs.”

That’s precisely the attitude Haley expects.

McClain earned a bit of a diva reputation in Baltimore, where he once ran for more than 900 yards but had been relegated almost exclusively to blocking duty the past couple years. That led to him openly campaigning to run the football, and when McClain decided to pursue other options, the Ravens signed a replacement.

The former Alabama star eve n t u a l ly wo u n d u p i n Kansas City, where McClain will be doing the same kind of work, only this time for t h e s h i f ty ba c k f i e l d o f Jamaal Charles and Thomas Jones.

“He’s a big, physical fullback that’s obviously in the past shown really good run

ability in the year he had the chance to carry the ball,” Haley said. “But we’re very clear: He’s coming in to be our fullback first and foremost.”

McClain said that’s fine with him.

“We’re here to win, man, we’re here to win. If that’s getting Thomas Jones and Jamaal Charles over a thousand yards apiece, that’s what I’m here to do,” said McClain, who will get a chance to see the Ravens when they play the Chiefs in a preseason game Aug. 19 at Baltimore.

Haley offered similar sentiments for the 34-year-old Gregg, a grizzled 12-year veteran who the Chiefs hope still has something left. Defensive tackle was another of the “must” improve areas and, although there were more high-profile options available,

side alone he listed James Holt, Kevin Kane, Joe Mortensen (from Oakland, Calif.) and Mike Rivera.

Not impressed? OK, the next three names should close the deal: Second-team All-American defensive tackle James McClinton, NFL safety Darrell Stuckey and Aqib Talib, named by NFL Alumni the best defensive back in the league in 2010.

The second game of Doeren’s head-coaching career is scheduled for Sept.

10 in Memorial Stadium against Turner Gill’s second Kansas team. After that, it’s off to Wisconsin, an interesting coincidence for Doeren, who inherited the schedule.

The Kansas game will be a homecoming for him. He starred at Bishop Miege before continuing his football career at Drake. Friends

and family members will be out in full force.

Before rejoicing that Doeren didn’t recruit most of the players on the roster, realize that the Huskies have plenty of talent returning from an 11-3 team that drilled Fresno State, 40-17, in the Humanitarian Bowl.

Senior quarterback Chand Harnish will help Doeren’s transition. Last season, Harnish rushed for 836 yards and seven touchdowns, passed for 2,530 yards and 21 touchdowns and threw just five interceptions.

“Tremendous competitor,” Doeren said. “Very intelligent. Great leader. Very mature. I’m his third head coach, so he’s been through some change. I know all our players look up to him.”

Often, teams take a step back in the first year after a

coaching change, but that hasn’t dimmed Doeren’s optimism.

“Some of that depends on what players you have back,” Doeren said. “A lot of times you’ll see coaching changes because the team wasn’t very good, or maybe it was a senior-laden team. We return a lot of players.”

Doeren and his staff spent the summer poring over video, learning the team’s personnel and that of opponents.

What does he expect from Kansas?

“You would think the second year into the program they’d be better,” he said.

“The kids should know more what to expect. The staff has had a chance to recruit some more guys. They added a good coach in (co-offensive coordinator, receivers) David

Beaty. I think he’s really good. I think he can help them. They also have made a change defensively (from retired Carl Torbush to promoted Vic Shealy at D-coordinator). It will be interesting to see if those changes equal wins.”

Doeren thought back to the 2-10 first season at Kansas and the one that followed.

“I know when we took over, Year 2 was the bowl game,” he said, referencing a lopsided loss to North Carolina State in the Tangerine Bowl. “That game allowed us to practice more. Those practices are priceless for the development of a team.”

Doeren said that when Mangino’s staff took over, KU was ranked, “119th in defense,” and ranked fourth in his final season, 2005. In

Young’s final season as defensive coordinator, Kansas went 12-1 and won the Orange Bowl. Doeren learned a lot from Young and from Mangino.

“The experience taught me to stick to your guns and your beliefs, and good things will happen,” Doeren said.

Gill is coming off a 3-9 first season, but with a brutal schedule that includes facing each of the other nine Big 12 foes and a Northern Illinois squad likely to be favored in Lawrence, those extra practices from which bowl teams benefit won’t yet happen for Kansas.

In contrast, Doeren likely will go bowling for the eighth time in nine seasons.

freshmen hadn’t learned yet.

“Bonnie, with new people, she’s patient,” KU junior guard Monica Engelman said.

“She makes sure they get all the basics, so when we start going faster and the pace gets a little faster, they can get it down.

“But the freshmen are doing great. They’re holding their own, and they’re learning.”

KU also will benefit from an NCAA rule change, as before this season, freshmen were not allowed to participate in the preseason exhibition trips.

The shot clock won’t be the only difference during games in Italy.

KU also will play with a widened, trapezoid lane. The three-point line will be at 20 feet, 6 inches — the same

length that the NCAA women are switching to next season.

Though Henrickson said she isn’t sure what the competition will be like, it won’t matter much, as the team won’t be scouting its opponents.

More than basketball, though, the coach said the outing would allow the players to have more time around each other.

“We only play four games,” Henrickson said, “so the rest of it, we’re tourists, and we’re tourists together.”

Engelman admitted she didn’t know a lot about Italy but still was eager to get there.

“We get to experience all the scenery and culture,” Engelman said. “It’s refreshing. It’s getting away from what you’re used to.”

Football

McDougald on watch list KU junior Bradley McDougald, a Dublin, Ohio, native who played his first two seasons at KU at wide receiver but was shifted — for good — to safety during the final couple of weeks of the 2010 season, was one of 50 players named to the Paul Hornung Award Watch List by the Louisville Sports Commission on Monday.

The award, given annually to the most versatile player in college football, was named for legendary Notre Dame quarterback Paul Hornung, who won the 1956 Heisman Trophy and played both offense and defense at Notre Dame.

McDougald is the only safety on the list.

TAMPA BAY’S CASEY KOTCHMAN, RIGHT, IS GREETED by teammates, including Sam Fuld (5) and Robinson Chirinos (38), after hitting a walkoff home run in the ninth inning against Kansas City.

The blast led the Rays past the Royals, 2-1, on Monday in St. Petersburg, Fla.

RAYS 2, ROYALS 1

Ninth-inning walkoff sinks K.C. ST. PETERSBURG, FLA. (AP) — Luke Hochevar did his part with seven strong innings. It was the Kansas City Royals’ offense that came up short.

Casey Kotchman led off the ninth inning with a home run to lift the Tampa Bay Rays to a 2-1 victory over the Royals on Monday night.

Hochevar allowed one run and five hits, keeping Tampa Bay off-balance for most of the game. The right-hander, who had won his previous three starts, had seven strikeouts and two walks.

“I went out and tried to execute quality pitches,” Hochevar said. “We played quality defense again tonight.”

Kotchman drove the first pitch from Blake Wood (5-1) over the center-field fence.

He also knocked in the other Tampa Bay run with a runscoring single that tied it in the seventh.

“I thought it was going to be

The trip also comes at a convenient time for Henrickson, who has five freshmen on this year’s roster.

Kansas was allowed 10 practices before heading overseas.

During normal years, players would only be able to work out two hours a week for six weeks in individual drills before official practices started in October.

There have been a couple of times that Henrickson has had to re-write practice plans after realizing she was scheduling drills that her

KANSAS CITY RUNNING BACK LE’RON MCCLAIN WALKS toward the practice fields during training camp Thursday in St. Joseph, Mo. The Chiefs likely rely on McClain this season to block and pave the way for Jamaal Charles and Thomas Jones.

Tight end Tony Moeaki was removed from the Kansas City Chiefs’ physically unable to perform list Monday and participated in the team’s morning walkthrough and afternoon practice.

Moeaki spent more than a week watching from the sideline at Missouri Western State University before making his training-camp debut. The Chiefs have not said what was wrong with Moeaki, and head coach Todd Haley and Moeaki both declined to comment on reports of an offseason knee surgery.

Moeaki was nearly a full participant in both workouts, running routes, participating in blocking drills and running full-speed in conditioning. He did sit out the final 11-on-11 session of the afternoon. the Chiefs decided to bring in another player with a winning pedigree.

“Kelly Gregg is one of those guys, I’ve talked about them, probably coming out the odds were stacked against him right out of the gate — not prototypical size and speed and those things,” Haley said.

“He didn’t listen to any of it.

“As an offensive coach and offensive coordinator, he’s been a major pain to deal with,” Haley added.

The Chiefs lost last starting nose tackle Ron Edwards to Carolina and backup Shaun Smith to Tennessee, so they’re gambling that Gregg can plug up the middle for a defense that struggled to stop the run last year.

Braves 8, Marlins 5 MIAMI — Dan Uggla extended his hitting streak to 29 games, and Alex Gonzalez hit a three-run homer Monday to help Atlanta drop Florida to 05 on its homestand.

Uggla beat out a grounder to short for an infield single in the fifth inning to extend the longest active hitting streak in the majors.

After Uggla and Chipper Jones singled in the fifth, Gonzalez hit his 10th home run off Brad Hand (1-4).

Uggla added a sacrifice fly in the sixth. Atlanta’s Michael Bourn drove in a run with his 30th infield hit, most in the NL. Freddie Freeman, whose career-best 20-game hitting streak ended Sunday, had a two-run single.

Mets 9, Padres 8 NEW YORK — Lucas Duda’s two-run single capped a three-run ninth against closer Heath Bell, and banged-up New York rallied past San Diego.

Angel Pagan, Jason Bay and David Wright homered for the Mets on a day they put their top two hitters — Jose Reyes and Daniel Murphy — on the disabled list.

Jason Bartlett’s basesloaded double capped a fourrun eighth that gave the Padres an 8-4 lead. But their normally reliable bullpen couldn’t hold it, and San Diego’s four-game winning streak was snapped.

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

New depths in royal watching I am not afraid to admit that when I first received the press release for the one-hour special “Crazy About Pippa” (8 p.m., TLC), my first reaction was, “Pippa who?”

On reflection I realized that she’s the sister of the woman who married the grandson of the reigning monarch of a foreign nation. Or to put it another way, she’s the sister-in-law to the decidedly unexciting man who is second in line of succession to a largely ceremonial throne of a nation not my own.

Oh, that Pippa!

Seriously, Pippa-mania seems about as manufactured as can be. Or the most transparently fake Brit “trend” since the tastemakers tried to cram those scrawny Beckhams down our throats.

Some in the media are intoxicated with all things royal and all things British. But not everyone is drinking the Marmite-flavored Kool-Aid. A recent “60 Minutes”/Vanity Fair poll revealed that 52 percent of all Americans had no idea of who Pippa was.

From the Beatles to the Teletubbies, Americans have long embraced U.K. trends. But I think Pippa-mania is one British invasion that may not survive the transatlantic trip.

“William & Kate: Royal Baby Watch” (9 p.m., TLC) follows. ● “Out: The Glenn Burke Story” (9 p.m., Versus) recalls the promising Major League Baseball career of a player once hailed as “the next Willie Mays.” Burke’s decision to come out as a gay man in the late 1970s did not sit well with Dodger management. After appearing in the 1977 World Series, Los Angeles traded him to the lowly Oakland Athletics, where he was brutally taunted by manager Billy Martin, whose reputation as a loathsome bully will only be enhanced by this film.

“Out” follows Burke’s demonization and exile from baseball to a life of minor celebrity and excess and early death from AIDS. “Out” includes interviews with Burke’s teammates, friends and contemporaries, including Dusty Baker, Rickey Henderson, Claudell Washington and former Major Leaguer and gay rights activist Billy Bean. Bean came out as a gay man only after his playing days were done. As “Out” makes clear, no active player has done so since Burke. ● Proud garbage pickers and antique dealers with New York accents and attitudes loom large on “Dirty Money” (9 p.m., Discovery).

As on “Picker Sisters” (9 p.m., Lifetime), these guys contend that if they buy something for $5 and then fix it up and resell it for $50, that they’ve cleared $45 in “profit.” That’s only the case if you believe that their time, talent and what used to be called “labor” count for nothing. In effect, they’ve reduced their salary to zero. Could that be why corporate cable media is so in love with shows like this?

Tonight’s other highlights ● A dozen acts perform on “America’s Got Talent” (8 p.m., NBC). ● Beau Bridges guest-stars on the midseason finale of “White Collar” (8 p.m., USA). ● Online dating can be murder on “The Mentalist” (9 p.m., CBS). ● Bobby takes things to extremes on “Combat Hospital” (9 p.m., ABC). ● “POV” (9 p.m., PBS, check local listings) repeats the 2008 documentary “Food, Inc.”

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Tuesday, Aug. 9: This year, much occurs in your day-to-day life. You naturally will have a good time and enjoy yourself. If you are attached, you might see the embers of love flash into flames once more. Stoke these fires.

Work on not suppressing your difficult feelings so much. If you are able to move through them, you will be freer and more present in the moment. Capricorn understands you well.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You'll Have: 5Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) ★★★★ Handle all necessary research by midday.

You will want to execute a plan by then. Take the lead, trusting that others will follow. Tonight: Burning the candle at both ends.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ★★★★★ Deal directly with a loved one in the morning. At a certain point, you will need to let go and trust. Tonight: Let your mind wander.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ★★★★ Others want to run with the ball. You do have a choice, but the smart decision is to let

them have their way.

Tonight: Catch up on news over dinner.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ★★★★ Dive into work, and get as much done as humanly possible. Midday, a change in interest points to a new direction. Tonight: The only answer is "yes."

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★★ You might have difficulty settling down this morning, but by mid-afternoon, you could have a total personality change.

Tonight: Get some exercise.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★★ Getting started could be challenging this morning. Your creativity surges this afternoon, allowing for more options.

Dear Annie: My son is being emotionally tortured by his teenage daughters. He has been divorced from their mother for years, but has always been there for his kids.

He’s never missed a support payment and shares responsibility for them.

Now the 17-year-old is terrorizing him. My son recently remarried, and the girl hates his wife, who happens to be a very nice young woman. The teenager also encourages her younger sister to do the same.

It got so bad that his new wife had to tell my granddaughter that she was no longer welcome in their home. All this nasty behavior is being encouraged by the ex-wife.

How can I help? I’m a grandparent trapped in the middle. I don’t want to lose my granddaughter by taking my son’s side in front of her, but I can hardly sit back and see him hurt over and over by her awful behavior. I love her and her sister, too. What should I do? — Lost in Frustration

Freshman RB impresses Texas SCOREBOARD ————

Malcolm Brown making early push for playing time

By Jimmy Burch Fort Worth Star-Telegram

A U S T I N , T E X A S — Players have yet to start popping pads in Texas’ fall football camp, where practices began last week.

But one newcomer, freshman tailback Malcolm Brown, already has captured the attention of veteran teammates.

Brown, a five-star signee from Cibolo, Texas, arrived with a reputation for being a tough runner between the tackles because of his size (6- Brown foot, 215 pounds) and production in high school over three seasons (6,663 career rushing yards, 86 TDs, 9.8 per carry).

But safety Blake Gideon said he saw more than that during voluntary summer workouts.

“He’s talented in the open field more than I thought he’d be,” Gideon said. “He does

LONGHORNS’ SAFETY ARRESTED Texas senior safety Christian Scott has been arrested and charged with misdemeanor assault with bodily injury.

An Austin police spokeswoman says Scott was arrested Monday morning near his apartment after officers responded to a call about an assault. Further details were not immediately released.

The charge is a Class A mishave some ability to move his feet and swivel his hips. Even if he doesn’t start, he’s going to press guys (for playing time).”

One player who could surrender playing time is tailback Fozzy Whittaker, a senior who said he embraces his role of mentoring Brown and other young running backs.

“It’s my job to help make him the best football player he can be,” Whittaker said. “It’s always a learning curve. But he’s a very versatile back. He weighs a pretty good amount, and he still has quick feet and great hands.”

demeanor, which brings a maximum of one year in jail and/or a fine of up to $4,000.

Texas team spokesman John Bianco says coach Mack Brown is aware of the arrest.

Scott started 10 games last season and had 53 tackles and one interception as Texas finished 5-7.

— The Associated Press

Yet Brown’s most endearing asset to older players is his attitude.

“Malcolm’s said maybe five words to anybody since he’s been on campus,” Gideon said. “He just goes to work. He keeps his head down. He doesn’t say more than he’s supposed to, which some freshmen have a tendency to do when they come in. I’m excited to play with him. I think he can help us.”

Kansas will take on Texas this season on Oct. 29 in Austin, Texas. In the last meeting, UT beat KU, 51-20, on Nov. 21, 2009, in Austin.

started nine games and finished with 65 tackles, two sacks and two interceptions.

He could be stepping into bigger shoes if he ends up as the successor to Carter, who was picked to the Associated Press All-America team last season after recording 95 tackles and four interceptions.

“Tony’s already proved a year ago he’s a guy that makes the tough plays,” coach Bob Stoops said. “We’re seeing if that’ll continue at that spot as well.”

Jefferson’s potential move would also create an opening for sophomore Corey Nelson

to get onto the field in the hybrid outside linebacker/nickel back role.

Nelson was a highly regarded freshman but couldn’t get playing time on occasion last season because there wasn’t a spot for him.

“What we’re looking for more than anything is to find ways to get players that over the last year have shown us a knack for showing up at the football and making plays.

They’re instinctive guys,” Venables said.

“They’re good football players, and I think we’d be negligent not to find ways to get them on the field, to find

No quick QB decision Mack Brown said the four candidates competing to start at quarterback will begin separating themselves “in a couple of weeks, probably.”

Coaches will have Garrett Gilbert, Case McCoy, Connor Wood and David Ash take part in competitive drills on a daily basis.

Brown said “every pass” will be charted to gauge accuracy, and each workout will have “a lot more” emphasis on third-down and red-zone situations than normal to help separate players.

what they’re comfortable with.”

For now, the move is only a tryout. The Sooners donned pads for the first time Monday and are more than three weeks away from the season opener Sept. 3 against Tulsa.

So, Jefferson is also continuing to take snaps at his familiar spot in case he needs to move back.

Junior Javon Harris and senior Sam Proctor, who started 10 games at strong safety in 2009, are also in the running for Carter’s old spot.

Jefferson isn’t new to the position. He played safety at Eastlake (Calif.) High School.
