IAN HRABE, A 2009 Kansas University graduate, prices books at his job at Half-Price Books on Thursday. Hrabe is one of many recent grads with a large amount of debt from student loans and private loans. He estimates that he owes about $60,000.

Graduates saddled with student loans may pay dearly for decades to come

ONLINE: See the video at LJWorld.com

Ian Hrabe remembers the phone calls. They started cordially, but got nastier and nastier, until finally the student loan company was calling at 7 a.m., demanding payment on its loan.

National experts agree that people like Hrabe are among a new generation of college graduates having to deal with an increasing mound of debt resulting from decisions they made while in college.

Hrabe graduated from Kansas University in 2009 — “the year of the Great Recession,” he says — with a degree in English, with an

emphasis on creative writing, and film studies.

He grew up in Olathe and went to college because he thought that’s what everyone did when they got out of high school, and he wanted to get out of his parents’ house.

“I’m going to go to L.A.; I’m going to make a movie.

I’ll write the great American novel,” Hrabe remembered thinking when he entered school as a freshman. But halfway through, he had already soured on those ideas.

“I’m already half done,” he remembered thinking. “I might as well finish it out.”

He wound up working at CD Tradepost for minimum wage in Olathe for a while, as the movie and book

career didn’t pan out. Today, he works at Half-Price Books in Lawrence.

It’s a good job, he said.

It’s full-time, it has benefits, and he likes the company.

Today, Hrabe’s monthly payment on his loans is $560. His mother pays half of that, he said, to help him get by.

He’s doing well for now, and he has learned to be frugal. He’s engaged to his girlfriend, who’s going to graduate school to pursue a career in social work (she’ll be adding her own debt, Hrabe acknowledges).

A growing trend Mark Kantrowitz, publisher of the websites finaid.org and fastweb.com,

keeps track of data on student debt on the national level.

The average student who leaves college with student loan debts will have about $27,000 to repay, he said.

At KU, those figures are somewhat less, which would be expected at a public university with lower costs, especially for in-state students.

Just over half of KU undergraduates go through the university without loans.

But of the KU undergraduates who are left with student loans, the average principal is $20,517, according to figures from the university’s financial aid office.

County clerks say citizenship requirement too unwieldy for 2012

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach’s proposal to move up the date when Kansans must show proof of citizenship to register to vote is not getting good reviews from the people who run elections.

“If you rush implementation of a policy, you have a stronger chance of mistakes,” said Douglas County Clerk Jamie Shew.

He said vot- Shew ing is a constitutional right, “so you don’t want to make a decision on the fly about who gets to participate and who doesn’t get to participate.”

Here’s the Kobach issue: The Kansas Legislature and Gov. Sam Brownback during the 2011 legislative session approved two major changes in state election law: ● One change requires voters to show photo ID to vote in 2012. ● The other requires people registering to vote for the first time in Kansas to show proof of U.S. citizenship. But that provision doesn’t take effect until January 2013.

Kobach wants to move that up to March 2012.

“That way, the bulk of the registrations in the 2012 cycle will be properly analyzed for citizenship,” he said.

He said that will prevent noncitizens from voting. He said he will push for this change in the 2012 legislative session, which starts in January. Critics have argued there is no evidence of any problem with people who are not citizens trying to vote in Kansas.

And Shew said the 2012 election cycle is already shaping up

Debt

CUTTING COSTS

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

And it’s all but impossible to get rid of student loan debts through bankruptcy — either federal loans or private ones, Kantrowitz said.

“You’re more likely to die in a car crash or die of cancer than you are to get your student loans discharged through bankruptcy,” he said.

The loan companies and the government will get their money one way or another, he said. Student loans recover more than 85 cents on the dollar for defaulted loans, a better rate than most private loans several times over, he said.

The level of debt taken on by students has been increasing over the decades, too, Kantrowitz said, as government and other aid for students hasn’t kept up with rising tuition costs.

Students often don’t realize that a dollar taken out in student loans today means a repayment of two dollars later, he said.

That $10 pizza might not look as appetizing, he said, if students thought of it as a $20 pizza.

And the increased debt load means more and more people are extending their student loan repayment plans for 20 years after they graduate.

“Then you’re paying back your own student loans when your children are going to college,” Kantrowitz said.

It’s certainly easy to acquire that kind of debt. Ora McWilliams, a KU doctoral student with more than $100,000 in student loan debt, remembered how he once was able to add $20,000 in more loans through an online process.

Auctions CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Brownback later said he’d gone to auctioneering school when he was younger and looking for a possible second income in case he went into farming.

Some auctioneers come into the profession through multiple generations of the family-owned business.

Whatever the case, they all say that becoming a good auctioneer is an art form.

But in times with more competition from the television and Internet, it may be becoming a lost art.

Auctions in the past It is an old profession. Since the beginning of Kansas, auctioneers have been rattling off high-speed pitches.

Sometimes the auctions have been controversial, such as in Kansas’ territorial days, when African-Americans were sold as slaves.

Although Kansas was considered a free state and against slavery at the time, some Kansans went across the Missouri line to make purchases.

The Kansas State Historical Society has a receipt from 1856 for $800 from Thomas Johnson, the minister and founder of the Shawnee Methodist Mission in Johnson County, for the purchase of a 15-year-old “Negro girl named ‘Martha’ of black complexion ... a slave for life.”

He purchased the girl in Westport.

The majority of early auctions in Kansas, however, were horse auctions, said Schoen-Gehring, with a legacy dating back to early forts.

“When they started, they would auction off the horses in the military,” she said.

“That’s why auctioneers are sometimes called ‘colonel.’ It came about because the colonels in the Army auctioned off the horses.”

During the 1890s and 1930s, and again in the 1980s, farm auctions and sheriff ’s sales became almost commonplace due to drought, commodity prices and high mortgage payments.

“Farm foreclosures and sales become fairly common up into the 20th century,” said Virgil Dean, historian at the Kansas State Historical Society in Topeka. “The auctions are approached with mixed feelings. It’s hard going to the sale of a neighbor who has fallen on hard times. But the auctions also become a way to get people together with their neighbors and get good deals.”

Special to the Journal-World

THIS FLIER IS IDENTIFIED as an advertisement for a farm auction on the Howard W. Wright farm near Milo. The 920 acres of land would be auctioned off into 10 small farms by the Middle West Land Auction company from Salina. Farm foreclosures and auctions have come in waves during tough economic times.

The auctioneer’s cry Larry Carr of Carr Auction in Larned has been in the business for 45 years, doing typically about 140 auctions a year throughout the state.

He won the state auctioneers’ contest in 1972 and through the years has sold everything from livestock, farm equipment and land to banks, guns and ammunition.

He taught himself how to be an auctioneer, starting out working at the local cattle sale barn, unloading and sorting cattle and listening closely to how the auctioneer sang.

Then, he’d go home at night and practice.

“You not only have to have a good chant but you need to be knowledgeable about your product. You have to make yourself understandable. If people don’t know what you are saying, they are scared to participate.”

Indeed, an auction can be intimidating. Crowds can be between 75 and 1,400 people at a Carr sale.

The auction chant is often a rhythmic repetition of numbers and filler words, punctuated by the “yip, yip” of the auctioneer’s crew as bidders give an indication they are participating in the sale.

Some of the bidders nod with their heads.

Some are more discreet.

“That’s just something you learn,” Carr said. “Sometimes you’ve got to ask if a person is bidding. Most people nod their head or wave a head.

Some don’t want anybody to know they are bidding.”

One customer may pull an ear lobe, while another puts his thumbs through the loops of his overalls, Carr said. Yet another will scratch his nose or play with a cap.

Some sales can be actionpacked, like the ones during the 1980s involving bank sales and farms whose farmers had

ties with the Posse Comitatus and Freemen movements.

“There was this one sale in Stafford County that was a sheriff ’s sale, and we had choppers circling in the air when we picked up the machinery,” Carr said, “and KBI (Kansas Bureau of Investigation) agents in the crowd.”

Entertainment factor A good auction is good entertainment — even with competition from TV and the Internet.

And for some, it’s like comparing the difference between hearing a piece of music in a recording or being there, live in person.

Roger Emigh is the 1991 World Livestock Auctioneer champion. He is the auctioneer at Winter Livestock in Dodge City, America’s largest independent cattle auction company and one of the nation’s oldest.

The auction typically sells about 4,500 cattle a month.

Go to the Winter sale barn in Dodge on any given Wednesday, and it smells of cattle and peanuts. Hundreds of peanut shells line the floor — buyers eat the nuts while making bids.

The sale barn hasn’t changed much in the 75 years it has been in operation.

Emigh’s voice blares over the microphone as calves bawl:

Mark Kantrowitz, publisher of the websites finaid.org and fast web.com, offered some advice on how to avoid massive student loan debts. ● Enroll in an in-state public college. The costs are much less than a private institution, he said. ● Search for free scholarship money. ● Save before college. Putting aside $200 per month for 10 years will shave off $396 from a monthly payment later. ● Buy used textbooks. ● Keep living expenses in check. Just avoiding eating out, Kantrowitz said, can save thousands of dollars. If you’re paying for a meal plan, use it.

“My hand was shaking as I hit check out,” he said. “I kept thinking, ‘What if I hit the button twice?’”

Figuring it out in advance Leticia Gradington knows that students don’t often understand the ramifications of their debt choices. As KU’s program director for its Student Money Management personal finance program, she deals with students looking for answers every day.

Things like compound interest, monthly payments, expected salaries and other budgeting basics are often confusing.

“You have students who think they know it,” she said.

“They say, ‘I took Finance one-oh-whatever, and I know it.’”

Still, many of them don’t, she said. And their parents may not realize the ramifications of the debt their children are accumulating.

Gradington tells students they have to figure out the monthly payment on their loans while they’re in school.

Call up their loan companies, “These calves came off the cow today. ... The male cows weighed out early. ... This one’s got a little rupture in the bag department.”

There are the sounds of slamming gates, a cellphone ringing and ringing, and people applauding when a chagrined cowboy finally does answer his phone.

Dave Mendenhall, who lives near Gove, places a bid.

So do Ralph Frazee of Garden City and Doug Parham of Pierceville.

“It’s a good time to buy calves. Well, they are available, anyway,” Mendenhall said.

He brought his 7-year-old grandson, Gabriel, with him to the sale. Gabriel marks the seventh generation of Mendenhalls to buy cattle.

Together, the two have a mound of peanut shells around them on the floor.

A drought in southwest Kansas is making it a good time to buy cattle if you are a producer elsewhere in the state.

“If they ain’t got nothing to eat, a guy has got to sell them,” Mendenhall said. “I’m up there at Gove where we got some rain, so I can feed them.”

A good auctioneer will create not only a satisfied customer, but also drama and excitement for the rest of the crowd. “Your chant is just the way you merchandise,” Emigh said. “It helps entice the buyer to bid. It helps create excitement.”

There have been plenty of auctions, Emigh said, where things don’t always go the way they were planned — like the time a cow jumped out of the ring, over him, and out the back door.

“I got up. Readjusted the microphone, and those crazy rascals brought her in again,” he said.

The cow jumped out of the ring again and into the crowd.

Cowboys roped her and were willing to bring her back into the ring, again.

“I said, “Everybody has seen her twice, let’s go ahead and make bids,” Emigh said.

They did. She sold.

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -WORLD she tells them. Figure it out.

And, she said, students have to figure out what kind of salary they can expect to make before making choices on how much money to take out in loans. “‘I don’t know’ is unacceptable,” she said.

Understanding the end at the beginning is critical, she said.

“If you understand, you don’t have to graduate from the school of hard knocks,” she said.

Avoiding the pitfalls Not everyone has a horror story. Lucas Dunn, a communication studies major with a business minor, graduated last spring and found a job in Chicago as an account manager for CDW, an information technology solutions provider.

Still, he’s living with his parents for a while until he can find out how his budget will handle the monthly payment on his $25,000 college debt.

But for people like Hrabe, the future can look scary, and he admitted to sometimes hoping that a “wealthy widowed heiress” would swoop along and wipe his debt clean.

He knows that’s not likely.

Hrabe said sometimes he wishes he would have foregone college. But there were some good things, too. He met his wife-to-be while in Lawrence and learned a lot working for the student radio station.

But still, he wishes he could have better navigated the traps and pitfalls.

“It’s my fault,” he said. “It’s a valuable lesson to learn.

You’ve got to f igure out something.”

The future Wichitan Bud Palmer has been in the business for more than half a century, selling shipyards, hotels, business liquidations, furniture and estates. His region includes an eight-state area around Kansas.

He says the Internet, combined with a long recession, has hurt his auction business.

“If people don’t have money, 25 percent of nothing is still nothing,” Palmer said.

“It is all relative. If times are good, sales are good. When times are tough, sales are tough. Anybody who tells you different don’t know what they are doing.”

Cummings, the 2011 World Livestock Auctioneer champion from Yates Center, says auctioneering will always be around. Why? “The only way to get true price discovery and true market value is through the auction method of selling,” Cummings said. “Sure, you might put something on the Internet and get someone to bid on it, but if you have two people standing at a live auction and if they want it, 90 percent of the time, they will buy it. And that’s how you will discover the true price of something.”

That’s why the future of auctioneering is bright, says Megan McCurdy of McCurdy Auction in Wichita.

At 28, she is the f irst woman to hold the Kansas state auctioneer title. She won the 2011 title this year and predicts more women will become auctioneers, particularly as they join family operations.

“I’m in a family business where it is rewarding to work with your dad, brothers and mother. We help people. They come to us in times of need to help them dispose of things — maybe they are moving, going through a divorce, or someone’s died,” she said. “We step in and become part of their life.”

Suicide bomber attack leaves 22 dead Six suicide bombers attacked a governor’s security meeting in one of Afghanistan’s most secure provinces, killing 22 people and driving home the point that the Taliban is able to strike at will virtually anywhere in the country.

The governor of Parwan, a relatively peaceful eastern province just 30 miles north of Kabul, survived.

He said he picked up an assault rifle and shot at least one of the attackers dead from the waiting room of his office.

Two other insurgents detonated their vests, causing most of the deaths and burning part of the governor’s offices. Several cars were wrecked by shrapnel and bullets. Broken glass and body parts littered a charred lawn.

The bold daylight assault in Charikar follows a similar attack by suicide bombers at a major Kabul hotel in June, and the downing of a U.S. helicopter full of U.S. special operations troops only 35 miles away from Kabul. The attacks in and close to the capital raise more questions about Afghanistan’s ability to defend itself as the U.S.-led coalition hands more of the country over to its struggling forces.

Former governor ends White House bid Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty dropped out of the race for the GOP presidential nomination Sunday, hours after finishing a disappointing third in the Iowa straw poll.

“I wish it would have been different. But obviously the pathway forward for me doesn’t really exist so we are going to end the campaign,” Pawlenty said on ABC’s “This Week” from Iowa shortly after disclosing his plans in a private conference call with supporters.

The low-key Midwesterner and two-term governor had struggled to gain traction in a state he had said he must win and never caught fire nationally with a Republican electorate seemingly craving a charismatic, nonestablishment, rabble-rouser to go up against President Barack Obama. ● Bachmann, Perry attend GOP dinner in

Gunboats used in Syrian crackdown Syria used gunboats for the first time Sunday to crush the uprising against Bashar Assad’s regime, hammering parts of the Mediterranean coastal city of Latakia after thousands marched there over the weekend to demand the president’s ouster. At least 25 people were killed, according to activists.

The coordinated attacks by gunboats and ground troops were the latest wave of a brutal offensive against anti-government protests launched at the beginning of the month. The assault showed Assad has no intention of scaling back the campaign even though it has brought international outrage and new U.S. and European sanctions.

Twenty-one-year-old Kelly Pohlman is tired of being in pain. She’s been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and is taking medication, but it’s not working.

Often, the pain is unbearable. She loses sleep.

Pohlman is grateful for Health Care Access clinic because her job doesn’t offer health insurance. She has been paying for medications by tapping into an inheritance from her late father.

“I’m here to see if we can figure something else out,” she said.

On Friday morning, she saw Dr. Karen Evans, who volunteers a full day at the clinic once a month. Evans went over her medical history and medications. She also checked her strength and heartbeat among other things. She decided to run some tests and try some new medications.

Waiting until an emergency Evans is among 20 doctors who volunteer to provide medical care on-site at Health Care Access, a clinic that serves low-income, uninsured Douglas County residents.

“I think it’s good to give back to the community. For me, it’s an important thing to do,” she said.

Evans said she tends to do a lot of skin procedures like removing moles, warts and lesions. She also sees patients with headaches and back pain.

“It’s typical family practice

Work on what is expected to be the city’s largest development project in years may soon kick into a new gear.

Lawrence city commissioners at their weekly meeting are expected to approve spending $1 million to do planning and some construction to convert the former Farmland Industries property into a business park.

“I want us to be in a position to offer building permit-ready lots to businesses in the next 12 to 18 months,” City Manager David Corliss said.

To get to that point, though, the city is going to have to put some lines on paper, and some pavement on the ground. Among the items Corliss wants commissioners to discuss: ● A master plan for the entire 450-acre site. This will show the location of roads and utilities

Sibling autism risk higher than thought

srothschild@ljworld.com

A new study suggests nearly one in five children with an autistic older sibling will develop the disorder too — a rate much higher than previously thought.

Researchers followed 664 infants who had at least one older brother or sister with autism. Overall, 132 infants or about 19 percent ended up with an autism diagnosis, too, by their 3rd birthdays. Previous smaller or less diverse studies reported a prevalence of between 3 percent and 14 percent.

The highest rates were in infants who had at least two older siblings with autism — 32 percent of them also developed autism. Among boys with autistic siblings, 26 percent developed autism versus 9 percent of girls. Autism is already known to be more common in boys.

The study involved 12 U.S. and Canadian sites and was published online today in Pediatrics. Earlier studies were more local or involved fewer sites.

The Kansas Board of Regents has scheduled a three-day retreat this week, mapping out goals with higher education chief executives and Gov. Sam Brownback.

“We’ll be starting early and staying late,” said Regent Chairman Ed McKechnie of Arcadia.

The retreat will start today and end Wednesday with meetings in Arcadia and Pittsburg.

Brownback has been outspoken in calling for improvements in the higher education system, linking the performance of the state’s post-secondary institutions to the health of the Kansas economy.

“Our institutions of higher

have to ensure they are operating as efficiently as possible and focusing on areas that will help the economy.

He said that personally, he would like to move toward getting pay raises for faculty because some have not seen a raise for two years.

And, he said, the higher education system as a whole needs to do a better job telling its story.

“There are good things happening every day, and there are improvements that are needed.

Everyone loves their university, but everyone has questions about where higher education is going,” he said.

Compared to similar cities, Lawrence property-crime rate above average

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

Lawrence had a higher rate of property crimes in 2010 than average when compared with 27 other similar communities nationwide, according to the Benchmark City Survey.

Police also had a lower clearance rate in most areas than the average in solving property crimes.

Lawrence Police Chief Tarik Khatib, who was promoted to the top job in February, said the numbers and the city’s overall crime rate were part of the reason why he asked city commissioners for more resources, mainly more patrol officer positions.

“I think we do a very, very good job with the big cases, the robberies, the shootings, and we do a very, very good job with event management, like parades, games, other

types of service expectations,” Khatib said. “But sometimes I feel we lose the middle ground, and the middle ground is the everyday burglary, the nuisance Khatib stuff that affects most people as far as quality of life.”

The Lawrence City Commission as part of its 2012 budget recently approved four new patrol officer positions. Khatib said he believes that was “a good start” but he would like to see the department over time be able to add about 30 more positions, including more patrol officers and crime analysts.

He said the department has made an effort to conduct special operations, like patrols to prevent crimes,

as a “perfect storm” of challenges in administering the election, and the additional proof of citizenship requirement would be a big problem.

First, there will be the new photo ID requirement. Second, 2012 is a presidential election year, which increases turnout. The complexity of administering an election during a presidential year increases because many voters in presidential elections haven’t voted since the previous presidential election, so there are numerous voters who have changed addresses.

Third, 2012 will be the first election after the Legislature changes district boundaries during the redistricting process.

Shew said checking birth certificates and other documents to determine citizenship is a much more difficult and time-consuming process than checking a photo ID. Don Merriman, Saline County clerk and election officer and president of the Kansas County Clerks and

Wild week for stocks creates confusion, fear

By Bernard Condon Associated Press Writer

NEW YORK — Is it time to sell everything or buy with abandon?

Investors can’t make up their minds. Last week was one of the most volatile in the history of Wall Street. The Dow Jones industrial average swung more than 400 points four days in a row — down, then up, then down, then up.

It’s frightening, but experts say the fear results partly because memories of the financial meltdown of 2008, when stocks lost half their value, are fresh.

Their advice: Hold tight.

It’s not time to sell, but it’s probably not time to pour money into stocks, either.

“The stock market has done so well historically that, even if it is overpriced, you’re likely to do OK,” says Robert Shiller, a Yale University economist famous for having warned against bubbles in technology stocks and housing.

Though he believes the

stuff — lots of different ailments,” she said.

Evans said the clinic’s patients tend to be young adults and middle-aged adults; she rarely sees children or elderly patients. They also tend to be sicker than what she typically sees at Mt. Oread Family Practice across town.

“They wait until they really can’t stand things anymore,” she said.

Dr. Marc Scarbrough, a hospitalist at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, volunteers a half day every other Tuesday. He also sees patients who wait until it’s an emergency to seek care.

“In our country, insurance is so tied to employment, and I think it’s wrong,” he said.

At the clinic, he often sees people who have lost their

stock market is still overvalued by historical averages, he says it is closer to fairly valued than before. He suggests investors move their money “modestly” into stocks.

A pair of widely respected gauges of market value suggest stocks are no great bargain. But since the Great Depression, shallow bear markets — drops of 20 percent or so in stock prices — are much more common than the huge plunges of 2008.

Of the 12 bear markets since the Great Depression, only three have qualified as “megameltdowns,” with drops of 40 percent or more, says Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at Standard & Poor’s.

The market isn’t quite in bear territory yet. The Dow closed up about 1 percent Friday and finished the volatile week down just 1.5 percent.

Since the market’s highs of April 29, the Dow is down 12 percent. The S&P 500 is down 13.5 percent.

Though history is only a rough guide, Stovall suspects

any coming bear market won’t be severe and will end quickly.

Bear markets last a year and five months on average.

Stovall is cautiously bullish.

He says investors tend to dwell on the recent past when investing in stocks, so they’re selling now because they fear a repeat of the 2008 collapse. In the year and a half ending March 9, 2009, stocks dropped 57 percent.

If the financial crisis had happened in 1988, not 2008, it wouldn’t be on most people’s minds.

A lot of Wall Street pros say you’d be a fool not to buy stocks now. Prices seem low compared with what stock analysts expect companies to earn this year. But these pros are almost always saying to buy — and almost always too slow to lower their earnings projections when times get tough.

In recent weeks, they’ve barely touched their projections despite slowing U.S. economic growth and mounting European debt problems. In fact, they expect U.S. companies to make more

money than ever this year.

Besides the possibility the pros are too bullish about earnings, there are two major reasons to worry: ● Investors fear Europe’s debt crisis could spread to Italy and Spain and lead to big losses at European banks that have lent to the nations in trouble. ● In the U.S., the Federal Reserve early last week signaled that it would keep interest rates super-low for two more years because of expectations that unemployment will remain high and economic growth slow.

The Fed’s decision came after the government said the U.S. economy had barely expanded in the first six months of this year. Fears have grown that the U.S. could fall into a new recession.

Fortunately, the U.S. is in better shape than before the financial crisis in 2008. The financial system is more stable, and the biggest U.S. companies have amassed an impressive rainy-day fund — $1 trillion in cash.

job and their health insurance and then get sick.

“That just kills me because they wait until the last minute and they are really sick, and then they come to us and they have to be hospitalized and get complicated, extensive medical care that if they would have come in a month earlier and received treatment, then they would have prevented catastrophe,” he said.

to provide care in the emergency room for the facility, for the expertise, for all of the things,” he said. “I think I’ve probably saved several ER visits.”

So far this year, the average ER charge at LMH is $2,031.

Gov. Sam Brownback proclaimed last week as “Primary Care Safety Net Clinic Week” to raise awareness about the critical role that these clinics play in providing care for the uninsured and underinsured.

In 2010, about 40 Kansas clinics provided care for more than 215,000 people.

In Douglas County, there are three safety net clinics.

Here are the number of patients they provided care for in 2010: ● Heartland Community Health Center, 1 Riverfront Plaza, Suite 100. It served 1,104 patients through 3,305 appointments. ● Douglas County Dental Clinic, 316 Maine. It served

2,807 patients through 6,057 appointments. ● Health Care Access, 330 Maine. It served 1 , 200 patients through 3, 213 appointments.

Nikki King, executive director of Health Care Access, said that care wouldn’t be possible without the hundreds of health care workers who volunteer their time on and off site. Nearly every doctor in town provides volunteer work whether they see one patient a week or one a month.

Collectively, they provided $3.5 million worth of donated care in 2010 to Health Care Access.

“It’s tremendous,” she said.

“It’s just very commendable that Douglas County medical providers see this as an important way to participate.”

Care for uninsured, underinsured Scarbrough said he sees a lot of patients with diabetes, high blood pressure, congestive heart failure, musculoskeletal pain and psychosocial depression.

He thinks the clinic plays a vital role in providing a medical home to those in need. If it wasn’t there, he estimates the patients would end up in the hospital emergency room across the street.

“It’s much more expensive

and also will start to determine how many industrial lots the former fertilizer plant can be split into. Corliss said he’s anticipating the property will be divided into lots ranging from 30 to 100 acres in size, with some ability to change the configuration based on demand. Corliss is estimating that the master planning for the site will cost about $150,000. ● A traffic signal for the 23rd Street and O’Connell Road intersection. The traffic signal would be part of a plan to build a north-south road through the Farmland property. The road would serve as the main entrance to the industrial park. Corliss is estimating planning and construction of the signal and the road will cost about $850,000.

Corliss believes work could begin on that part of the project in 2012. ● An east-west road that would connect the new Farmland entrance with the adjacent East Hills Business Park.

The road would make it easier for vacant land on the western edge of the East Hills Business Park to be developed. With a traffic light at O’Connell it also could make for a safer way for motorists to access the East Hills Business Park. Currently, the main entrance to the business park does not have a traffic signal.

Corliss said that work also could begin in 2012, or could be done in phases. ● In future years, Corliss envisions extending East 19th Street into the Farmland property. The road ends near the Douglas County Fairgrounds. Corliss said he wants to explore connecting 19th Street to the new northsouth entrance road for the Farmland site.

“We would want 19th Street to serve as neighborhood access to the Farmland property,” Corliss said. “It would be the type of road designed for people to drive, walk or bike to the business park and to work. We don’t want it to be a truck access point for the businesses.”

Corliss

Cost estimates for a 19th Street extension and a new road connecting East Hills and Farmland haven’t been developed

yet.

But the property has received one piece of news that may help it with future revenue. Corliss said his staff has confirmed that when the city took over ownership of the property in September, it also received a large groundwater right owned by Farmland. The rights are for 1.2 billion gallons of water per year.

To put that in perspective, the entire city used about 3 billion gallons of water in 2010, Corliss said.

“It is a lot of water, on paper,” Corliss said.

The water comes from wells that are not on the Farmland property, which suffers from groundwater contamination. The wells are east of Noria Road on property near the Kansas River.

Corliss said the water supply is large enough that it has attracted some interest from area water users. But he also said it could be used as a tool to attract businesses to the area that need a large supply of water.

Removal of old buildings and equipment at the Farmland site is expected to be completed by late August or early September. But cleanup of the groundwater contamination at the site is expected to take decades — although most of the work is overseeing pumps that remove the nitrogen-laced water, which is later used on farm fields.

The city, as part of its acquisition of the property from bankrupt Farmland, received an $8.6 million trust to clean the property. That money can’t be used to build roads or other infrastructure needed to convert the property into a business park.

Bachmann, Perry talk jobs at Iowa GOP fundraiser Obama’s approval rating in Gallup poll sinks to 39%, the lowest in over a year

By Thomas Beaumont Associated Press Writer

WATERLOO, IOWA — The two fastest-rising stars in the race for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination worked to broaden their appeal Sunday in Iowa.

Michele Bachmann, fresh off her win in a closely watched test vote, portrayed herself as a mainstream Midwesterner. Newcomer Rick Perry introduced himself as a common-sense executive focused on jobs.

Both candidates attended the same county GOP dinner in northern Iowa one day after the race was upended by Bachmann’s victory in the Iowa straw poll and Perry’s announcement of his candidacy.

And while both candidates have strong ties to the influential evangelical wing of the party and are popular with upstart tea party supporters, they told activists at the Black Hawk County GOP’s Lincoln Day dinner in Waterloo that they have credibility on the party’s leading priority: jobs.

“I happen to think the biggest issue facing this country is that we are facing economic turmoil, and if we don’t have a president that doesn’t get this country working, we’re in trouble,” Perry told about 300 Repub-

Perry

licans in Waterloo’s Electric Park Ballroom. “And I’ve got a track record.”

Bachmann touted her experience running her family’s small business in Minnesota “We started our own successful small company,” she told reporters. “We know how to build from scratch, putting capital together and starting a business from scratch and building it up so that we can actually offer jobs to people.”

A segment of the GOP’s establishment and economic conservatives have sat on the sidelines in the early months of the race, waiting for an alternative to former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.

Support for Romney, positioning himself as the Republican most associated with job creation, has been muted in some parts of the GOP primary electorate.

Perry was mobbed by dozens of reporters for his first appearance as a candidate in the leadoff caucus state.

It was a sharp contrast to another part of the room, where presidential hopeful Rick Santorum, a former Pennsylvania senator, moved through the crowd with less commotion.

Perry struggled to move from table to table. “It’s going to be a big time,” Perry told Cedar Falls Republican Jeanie Balthazor.

In the 24 hours between Perry’s announcement in Charleston, S.C., and his arrival in Iowa, the ground had shifted profoundly.

Bachmann, a Minnesota congresswoman, beat her home-state rival Tim Pawlenty by more than 2-to-1 in the Iowa straw poll, an early test of caucus campaign strength. Pawlenty, a former two-term Minnesota governor, had put all his chips on a strong showing in the poll.

But his distant third-place finish, behind Texas Rep. Ron Paul, prompted Pawlenty to quit the race Sunday morning.

Bachmann, on the other hand, rose sharply to the top of Iowa polls since launching her campaign in June, and made an aggressive push for straw poll support with evangelical pastors and Christian home-school backers.

Bachmann waited on her campaign bus in the ballroom parking lot while Perry spoke at the fundraiser, and entered the hall to her trademark introduction theme, Elvis Presley’s version of “Promised Land.”

A vocal opponent of the deal reached in Congress to raise the national debt ceiling, Bachmann sought to broaden her appeal to include budget hawks, and noted her tea party backing to project herself as appealing to a range of voters.

“It’s a movement coming

together. It’s a movement of social conservatives, a movement of fiscal conservatives, particularly on the debt ceiling issue,” she said.

But she also stressed her opposition to abortion rights and gay marriage, issues Perry did not touch in his remarks. “Without social conservatives it will be very difficult to beat Barack Obama in 2012,” Bachmann said.

On Sunday, Gallup’s daily tracking poll had President Barack Obama’s approval rating at 39 percent, his lowest in more than a year.

Pawlenty had aggressively criticized Bachmann as light on experience and accomplishment in her three terms in the U.S. House, compared with his two terms as governor in a politically divided state. Perry, Texas’ longestserving governor, is viewed as an establishment candidate who could be attractive to former backers of Pawlenty.

Bachmann said experience as a governor — a job held by the last two two-term Republican presidents — is not a prerequisite for the White House.

Sales tax slip Having one of its public universities skirting online sales tax regulations is embarrassing for Kansas.

I

t is hard to find an issue that poses a greater threat to small retailers than online stores that refuse to charge sales taxes on their merchandise.

To its credit, the state of Kansas over the years has recognized the negative impact this can have on both Kansas retailers and the state’s coffers. The Kansas Department of Revenue has been a strong voice in a national effort to get a federal law that levels the playing field, and the department has worked to get out-of-state companies to collect voluntarily the tax on sales made in Kansas.

That is why it is particularly disappointing to learn that a retailer controlled by a state entity is failing to collect Kansas sales taxes on Internet purchases.

The Journal-World reported last week that Kansas residents who make purchases at the “K-State Official Online Store” are not being charged any sales taxes. A Kansas Department of Revenue official said he has serious questions about whether Kansas State’s athletic department is violating the state’s sales tax law, and the matter has been referred to the department’s audit staff for further investigation.

Whether K-State’s actions have violated the law is still in question. Whether they have violated common sense is not.

KSU is a state-assisted institution.

Although, its athletic department is a separate entity in some ways, it would not exist without the university. For any state-supported entity to think that it doesn’t need to charge sales tax on items that private, sales tax-paying merchants sell is galling.

The response from K-State’s athletic department was equally frustrating. A spokesman for the department said the issue really wasn’t in K-State’s control. A Floridabased company runs the online store for KState. Because that company has no physical presence in Kansas, it does not have to charge sales taxes on goods sold in the state.

The Department of Revenue has questions about that logic, but that is almost beside the point. The point is that the store is named the “K-State Official Online Store.” The store would not exist without K-State’s blessing.

The university and its athletic department have had ample opportunity to tell the store’s vendor that it must charge sales tax on K-State items. As a matter of fairness, as a matter of making your actions match your words, that should be done.

We believe states across the country also should look at this issue and make sure their public universities are charging sales tax on online purchases — whether the law requires it or not. Kansas University happens to charge sales tax on online purchases, but we’re confident many other universities do not. If states truly are interested in promoting tax fairness in the online world, here’s a good place to start.

Federal agencies attack cyber-security ASPEN, COLO. — “Cyber-security” is one of those hot topics that has launched a thousand seminars and strategy papers, without producing much in the way of policy. But that’s beginning to change, in one of 2011’s most important but least noted government moves.

This summer, with little public fanfare, the Obama administration rolled out a strategy for cyber-security that couples the spooky technical wizardry of the National Security Agency with the friendly, cops-and-firefighters ethos of the Department of Homeland Security. This partnership may be the smartest aspect of the policy, which has, so far, avoided the controversies that usually attach themselves like viruses to anything involving government and the Internet.

The new initiative was explained at a conference here last week sponsored by the Aspen Strategy Group, a forum that has been meeting each summer for the past 30 years to discuss defense issues. Among the participants were the two people who helped frame the plan, William Lynn and Jane Holl Lute, the deputy secretaries of defense and homeland security, respectively.

What’s driving the policy is a growing recognition that the Internet is under attack — right now, every day — by foreign intelligence agencies and malicious hackers alike. Experts cite some frightening examples: A May 2011 attack on Citigroup, in

tion that the Internet is under attack — right now, every day — by foreign intelligence agencies and malicious hackers alike.”

which hackers stole credit-card information on 360,000 clients; a still-mysterious October 2010 assault on the Nasdaq stock exchange; a 2009 breach of the U.S. electrical grid by Russian and Chinese intruders; and a 2009 heist of plans for the F-35 joint strike fighter.

And that’s just what’s public.

McAfee, the computer-security firm, registers 60,000 new bits of malicious software every day. But classified estimates are said to be much scarier — with a hundred attacks for every one that’s publicly disclosed. It’s good to be skeptical about such unspecified threats — when officials warn direly, “If only you knew what we know” — but in this case, the dan-

ger is obviously real. The question is what to do about it.

The heart of the new cyberdefense strategy is to spread the use of secret tools developed by NSA. For example, the spy agency devised a system known as Tutelage to defend against malicious intrusions of military networks; a DHS version called Einstein 3 is now being used to protect civilian agencies. These systems are known as “active defense” because they use sensors and other techniques to block malicious code before it can affect operations.

This summer’s big innovation was using the government’s expertise to begin shielding the nation’s critical private infrastructure. In late May, the Pentagon and Homeland Security launched what they called the DIB Cyber Pilot (that’s short for “defense industrial base”). To protect about 20 defense companies that volunteered for the experiment, Homeland Security worked with four major Internet service providers, or ISPs, to help them clean malicious software from the Internet feed going to the contractors.

What made this recipe powerful was that the NSA provided what officials like to call its “special sauce,” in the form of electronic signatures of malicious software, which the NSA gathers 24/7 through its intelligence network.

The experiment has been running for 90 days now, and officials say it’s working. The ISPs have blocked hundreds of attempted

intrusions before they could get to the defense companies. The lesson for Lynn: “It’s possible for the government to share threat information with private industry,” under existing laws.

The National Security Council soon will be debating whether to extend this pilot program to other sectors of critical infrastructure. Obvious candidates are the big financial institutions supervised by the Treasury Department, and the national laboratories and nuclear-energy facilities overseen by the Energy Department. Two questions down the road are whether to set regulatory standards that mandate all ISPs to provide a clean Internet pipe to key users, and how to extend protection to the huge and nakedly vulnerable world of the dot-coms.

Here’s what I took from five days of discussion: The Internet was deliberately built with an open architecture, which was its greatest strength but is now a vulnerability. Regulatory norms may be useful (just like fire codes and clean-water standards). But real security will come when it’s a moneymaker for private companies who want to satisfy public demand for an Internet that isn’t crawling with bugs.

The NSA can help by sharing its secret tools. But it needs a civilian interface, in Homeland Security, to reassure the public that this is about security, not spying.

OLD HOME TOWN

100

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Aug. 15, 1911: YEARS “A fall from the AGO roller coaster at the IN 1911 park last night is causing a girl by the name of Lehman who lives upstairs in the 600 block on Massachusetts street considerable pain today. The accident occurred last night and is said to be due to the fact that the girl stood up in the car and was thrown out when it hit the curve.

The car almost completed the trip around and was on the last loop when the accident occurred. The girl fell only a few feet, but she sustained a fractured jaw bone and a badly blackened eye. She is said to be getting along nicely, although she is unable to speak.”

Town is a lasting symbol of New Deal A R T H U R D A L E , W . V A . — More than three-quarters of a century ago this forgotten community, tucked in a wrinkle of rugged West Virginia, was surrounded by poverty and privation. The mines nearby were quiet, the miners unemployed, hopeless.

Prosperity — even the merest, meanest prospect of subsistence — was a cruel, unattainable notion; it was not around any corner anywhere close to here.

And yet suddenly there were stirrings in these hills. Homes were built, farms laid out, a school established. Small crafts industries were sprouting. An assembly building began to take shape. A tea room opened. The first lady of the United States dropped by. Sometimes a band struck up the Virginia reel, and Eleanor Roosevelt — the portrait of sobriety, nobody’s idea of a good-time girl, indeed nobody’s idea of a woman who knew what a good time was — was caught up in that folk dance.

Today this community, the first of the nation’s 99 New Deal communities, is all but forgotten again. It is a monument to Depression-era social engineering, a landmark in the history of American economic experiments, a highly successful and deeply flawed effort at government planning, and yet the world goes on beyond Arthurdale, paying little mind to what happened here — what was tried here, when hope was a thing with feathers but without a nesting place.

The story began when Lorena Hickok, The Associated Press writer who very likely was Roosevelt’s lover, set out to portray

David Shribman dshribman@post-gazette.com

In truth, Franklin “Delano Roosevelt would have done anything — tack right, dip left, do a political Virginia reel, forward and back — to salve the Depression.”

America in Depression and visited Scotts Run, where she found housing “most Americans would not have considered fit for pigs.”

She later returned with Roosevelt, who said the “filth was indescribable” and who left determined to provide an antidote to the despair she found amid the tipples, the slag piles, the black shanties planted on the sides of the gulches and the stirrings of radical labor groups like the National Miners Union, backed by the Communist Party.

Of all the Washington undertakings designed to battle communism — secret wars in Central America, two overt wars in Asia, a bungled invasion of Cuba, witch hunts in the State Department and Hollywood — the assault on poverty in Scotts Run is among the most benign. The Pumpkin Papers on Whittaker Chambers’ farm and the inter-

cepted cables of the Cold War never possessed the moral power that Roosevelt found in the contents of a miner’s weekly pay envelope. It was $1.

Before long, Washington bought a swath of land belonging to a Pittsburgh businessman, Richard Arthur, and a social experiment was under way. The government built 165 homes in Arthurdale; all but five remain today, many quite handsome.

Banish your Great Society images of government housing projects; these were single-family homes with room to swing a cat and, outside, to plant a garden, with a cistern and root cellar out back.

Let’s not pretend this was not controversial, for its racist air (no blacks allowed) and particularly for its socialist tint (in the first eight months, the government spent $435,645 on this project).

“For two years,” the Saturday Evening Post wrote, “the presumed virtues of a projected planned economy have been contrasted with the muddling of an existing capitalism.”

Some described this village planted on an old farmstead as American Marxism. If it wasn’t the apotheosis of the welfare state, Arthurdale was at the very least a welfare town, a creation and ward of the government, with central planning down to the refrigerators Roosevelt picked herself. Other communities like it sprung up around the country, one in Alaska, 13 in Arkansas, 11 in Texas, eight in Nebraska.

In truth, Franklin Delano Roosevelt would have done anything — tack right, dip left, do a politi-

cal Virginia reel, forward and back — to salve the Depression.

He was no political purist. And if the New Deal homestead and resettlement communities like Arthurdale looked a little bit like communes on the Russian steppes painted with Norman Rockwell hues, the camps and barracks of the Civilian Conservation Corps had a faint whiff of German paramilitary groups with the sweet perfume of Boy Scout values (“to help other people at all times”).

In a way Arthurdale, known as Eleanor’s Little Village, is the physical symbol of the New Deal — a little experimentation, a little companionable collectivism, a heavy dose of reform rhetoric and, of course, a University of Chicago theorist. It was, as Eleanor Roosevelt put it, “a laboratory in every way.” At this distance it is clear that it was an economic failure but a social success. It salvaged some lives, allowing dozens of American families with no prospects to leap into the middle class in one generation, which is part of the American miracle. But it never became self-sufficient, which is part of the American creed.

But for all their communal aspects, Arthurdale and its New Deal cousins remind us of the power of an individual to make change — and, in moments of deep despondency, to offer hope.

“I can remember Mrs. Roosevelt coming, but I did not realize how special her visits were,” said Richard Myers. “I just thought she visited every community.” If only she could have.

3 teens shot at Country Club Plaza KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP)— Kansas City Mayor Sly James, who was pushed into a flowerbed by bodyguards trying to protect him during a shooting on the Country Club Plaza, vowed Sunday to quickly develop a plan for dealing with youths who converge on the upscale dining and shopping district on weekends.

The mayor was unhurt in Saturday night’s incident, which he called “bizarre and surreal,” but three youths were wounded. Police said a bullet grazed the face of a 15-year-old girl, while two boys, ages 13 and 16, were shot in the legs.

Officials said all three were in stable condition Sunday.

James had gone to the Plaza with several community leaders to walk the streets and witness for himself the crowds of teens and preteens whose regular Saturday night presence has prompted worries among merchants and restaurant owners.

The youths typically just roam the streets, but fights occasionally break out and some merchants say their customers are intimidated.

Kansas City has a midnight curfew on Saturdays for those under 18. Highwoods Properties, the company that owns and manages the Plaza, wants the curfew reset to 9 p.m.

KEEGAN BRADLEY CELEBRATES ON THE 18TH GREEN after winning a three-hole playoff against Jason Dufner at the PGA Championship on Sunday at the Atlanta Athletic Club.

Bradley claims PGA JOHNS CREEK, GA. (AP) — A rally that ranks among the best. A collapse hardly anyone saw coming.

There was even a guy in a red shirt Sunday, pumping his fists with each clutch putt in the final, frenzied hour of the PGA Championship.

In a major filled with unfamiliar names, Keegan Bradley delivered an unforgettable finish.

Bradley was five shots behind with only three holes to play after his chip shot raced across the 15th green and into the water, leading to a triple bogey. That’s when he reminded himself that no lead was safe on the final four holes at Atlanta Athletic Club.

“I just kept telling myself, ‘Don’t let that hole define this whole tournament,’” Bradley said.

Instead, it led to one of the most stunning turnarounds in a major. Bradley made back-toback birdies, including a 35-footer with a belly putter that rattled into the cup on the 17th.

Then came a monumental meltdown by Jason Dufner.

Unflappable all afternoon, he hit his tee shot in the water on the 15th for the first of three straight bogeys that led to a three-hole playoff.

Bradley birdied the 16th hole in the playoff — his first outright lead of the day — and went on to win by one shot.

Bradley became only the third player in at least 100 years to win a major championship in his first try.

The Wanamaker at his side, Bradley took out his cell phone and took a picture of the oversized trophy. It wasn’t long before he posted it on Twitter with three hash tags — “pgachampion. triplebogies. happiness.”

“It feels unbelievable,” he said.

With Texas A&M clamoring to bolt for the SEC and the rest of the Big 12 Conference working to keep the Aggies, the future of the league once again is ambiguous at best.

How this all affects Kansas University remains to be seen, but those who will have a say in it have one path to take: They must remain loyal to the Big 12.

I know that stance does not sit well with KU fans panicked about the Jayhawks being left out of a major conference. But that won’t happen. Not this time around.

As was the case last year, football remains the driving force in all of this realignment talk. And, clearly, the Jayhawks are not at the front of the pack when it comes to football, in revenue, performance or tradition.

Because of that, it may seem

like the best move for Kansas is to leap, blindly, into the Big East, ACC or Big Ten, should the offer present itself. Nonsense.

Now is not the time for Kansas to be calling the Big Ten or the Big East. The best move for Kansas is to remain loyal to the Big 12 and work toward saving and, above all, strengthening the conference it is in.

The Southeastern Conference announced Sunday it had decided against sending an invitation to Texas A&M. However, the league did leave open the possibility for future expansion.

If, on the other hand, Giles should happen to be explaining why he wants his alma mater to leave the Big 12 for the SEC, pull up a chair and hang on every syllable. He makes a strong case.

Woodland ties for 12th at PGA J-W Staff and Wire Reports

JOHNS CREEK, GA. — Gary Woodland never solved the mystery that was the finishing 18th hole, but he did get off to a great start in Sunday’s final round of the PGA. Woodland, a Topeka native and former Kansas University golfer, birdied the first two holes on his way to a 68, which put him in a seven-way tie for 12th place at 1-under par. Woodland carded four birdies and a bogey in shooting a 32 on the front and had two bogeys and a birdie for a 36 on the back. He again bogeyed No. 18 and was 5-over par on it for the tournament. He was 3-under par on the 551-yard, par 5 No. 12 during the tournament.

Woodland earned $132,786 to push his season winnings to $2,840,349, good for 13th on the money list. Not a rookie but competing in his first full, injury-free season, Woodland was one of four golfers in the world to finish in the top 30 in all four majors.

Charl Schwartzel and Steve Stricker, who also tied for 12th in the PGA, and Ryan Palmer, who tied for 19th, were the others.

SOPHOMORE DARIUS WILLIS, CENTER, IS PROJECTED TO START at one of the linebacker spots, along with Huldon Tharp, left, and Steven Johnson.

Willis thrilled to be at QB, er, LB for KU

By Andrew Hartsock ahartsock@ljworld.com

It didn’t raise so much as an eyebrow when Darius Willis reported to Kansas University’s preseason football drills sporting a new number.

Willis, KU’s third-year sophomore inside linebacker from Houston by way of Buffalo University, explained the new digit was his old high school number.

“It was something I wore before and felt comfortable in it,” Willis said. “If you feel good, you’re going to play good.”

Fair enough. So his old No. 39 was gone, replaced by No. 2.

It so happens, though, No. 2 was in use, by sophomore incumbent quarterback Jordan Webb.

Again, no problem. Willis appealed to a higher power — coach Turner Gill — who said the two could share the 2.

They play on opposite sides and look nothing alike. Aside from differing races, at 6-foot-3, 243 pounds, Willis has three inches and 30-plus pounds on Webb.

But here’s where it gets interesting.

As it turns out, Willis sported No. 2 at Houston Eisenhower High as a linebacker/quarterback. One of the reasons he headed off to distant Buffalo — where he was heralded as one of the highest-ranked recruits ever lured to the New York tundra — was that the head coach at the time, a fella by the name of Turner Gill, convinced Willis he’d be considered as a QB. Other schools projected him purely as a linebacker.

So here we have a former quarterback suddenly wearing the number of the current quarterback, playing for the coach who told him he’d have a shot at quarterback … does Willis, perhaps, want more than Webb’s number?

Might he want his job, too?

“Nah, man,” Willis — who, by way of comparison, is just two inches shorter but a couple of pounds heavier than Pittsburgh Steelers QB “Big” Ben Roethlisberger — said with a smile and shake of the head. “I’m pretty happy where I’m at.”

He means that in more ways than one.

Content not to line up under center but a couple of rows opposite it, Willis also is tickled to have landed at KU, where he was reunited with Gill.

“I’m enjoying every day playing with my teammates,” Willis said.

“I’m enjoying myself.”

First, the backstory.

A decorated and sought-after recruit at Eisenhower, Willis was a nonqualifier in 2008, but eventually gained the necessary SAT score and landed in Buffalo in January, 2009.

Funny story: When Willis told his Houston friends he was Buffalo-bound, “A lot of people didn’t really know where Buffalo was,” Willis said. “A lot of people were like, what? They thought I was talking about the Bills. Some people were like, ‘Did somebody draft you?’ I was, like, no. People started looking into it and looking into the education and were, like, that’s a good choice.”

That fall, he cracked the starting lineup at middle linebacker and

1

had 10 tackles, 2 ⁄2 for losses, in two starts before suffering a ruptured pectoral muscle that forced him to miss the rest of the season.

Gill left for KU after that season, and Willis went through spring drills before deciding to leave, too.

After a short recruitment, he landed at Kansas and sat out a season, during which he was named the Compete Team defensive player of the year.

So here you have a guy who was wooed by many of the schools of the Big 12 as a high schooler, who seemed destined for stardom at Buffalo before ending up at KU where, after a year of learning and working out, he has done nothing but add to his outside expectations.

“A lot of people when they see a player that’s my height and my weight and my stature,” Willis said, “with the ability I have to run around and make plays … a lot of people put hype on that type of person because they think he has the ability to accomplish all the things he wants.

SEC passes on inviting A&M for now The Associated Press

Don’t start printing those Texas A&M SEC T-shirts just yet.

After days of speculation, the Southeastern Conference announced Sunday that it had decided against sending an invitation to Texas A&M. However, it left the door open for future discussions on expansion that could include the Aggies.

“The SEC Presidents and Chancellors met today and reaffirmed our satisfaction with the present 12 institutional alignment,” Florida President Bernie Machen said in a statement. “We recognize, however, that future conditions may make it advantageous to expand the number of institutions in the league. We discussed criteria and process associated with expansion.”

“No action was taken with

respect to any institution including Texas A&M.” The move puts to rest — at least for the moment — the expansion talk that has permeated college football this past week.

Texas A&M, which considered a move to the SEC last season, has been unhappy with the current state of the Big 12 Conference.

A&M officials have voiced their displeasure over recent issues

involving Texas and its Longhorn Network.

Speculation increased this week when Texas Gov. Rick Perry, a Texas A&M alumnus, told the Dallas Morning News that “conversations are being had” in regard to a move to the SEC. The Texas House Committee on Higher Education called a hearing for Tuesday to discuss the move with officials from the school.

Philadelphia Daily News

BETHLEHEM, PA. — I’m all for making football as safe as possible, just as I’m all for motherhood and world peace and saving the whales and curing cancer.

But there is a fine line between making a violent sport safer and making it less exciting. In its rush to convince the players how much it really, really cares about their health and well-being so it can eventually get them to swallow the idea of adding two more regular-season games, the NFL did a dumb thing in March when it decided to move the spot of kickoffs from the 30 to the 35-yard line.

Citing statistics that showed an increase in concussions and major injuries on kickoffs, the league essentially decided to throw out the baby with the bath water by getting rid of one of the most exciting plays in the game.

“We watched a lot of film and just felt it’s a play that needed modification,” Atlanta Falcons president Rich McKay, the longtime co-chairman of the league’s competition committee, said in March. “The play is such and the injury data is such and the video is such that it needs revision.”

You saw the result of that “modification” Thursday night in the Eagles’ preseason game with the Baltimore Ravens when six of the seven kickoffs by the two teams resulted in touchbacks.

Leaguewide, the touchback numbers in the first week of the preseason weren’t quite as slanted, but they still were up dramatically from a year ago.

Through 15 games, 43 of 127 kickoffs, or 33.8 percent, resulted in touchbacks.

That’s more than double the touchback percentage on kickoffs in the league last year (16.4) “They wanted to take the play out (of the game) to a certain degree, and the rule (change) certainly does take it out to a degree,” said Eagles special-teams coach Bobby April. “It’s fulfilling exactly what they intended it to fulfill.

“They moved it back (from the 35 to the 30 in 1993) so there would be more returns.

Now they’re moving it up so that there will be less returns. It’s probably the only time they’ve ever put in a rule where they want to limit the potential of a big play.”

Like me, April is all for making the game safer. And, like me, he thinks the league went overboard with this rule change.

“You could get real philosophical about this and say if you want to be safe, don’t even play the game,” he said. “Do like Teddy Roosevelt wanted to do a hundred years ago (outlaw football). Nobody would get hurt if nobody was playing. So you’ve got to decide how far you want to go with that.

“I would think that because (the kickoff return) is such an exciting part of the game, because it’s such a great play, there’s going to be some type of way to get it back in.”

Along with moving the spot of kickoffs up five yards, the league also mandated that members of the coverage team had to line up no more than five yards behind the ball, theoretically preventing them from getting a running start. But as April correctly pointed out, by the time they make contact with either a blocker or the ball carrier, they’re up to full-speed.

“It’s not like that five yards really makes any difference,” he said.

April thinks his boss, head coach Andy Reid, who is a member of the coaches’ subcommittee of the competition committee, might have had the best idea of all for making kickoffs safer without de-emphasizing the play.

Reid’s suggestion: Prohibit blockers on the return team from going past the 25yard line on their initial block, thereby eliminating those ram-like collisions between tackler and blocker.

“But I hope there’s a way that the play is not (eliminated),” April said. “Because kickers will get better. And soon that 60 percent returned will literally go down to 10, 15 percent. That’s why they moved it back 17 years ago. They said, ‘We can’t eliminate that play. It’s too exciting.’ Now it’s, ‘We’ve got to eliminate that play.’ “

NOVAK DJOKOVIC, FROM SERBIA, KISSES THE TROPHY after defeating Mardy Fish to win the men's final at the Rogers Cup tennis tournament on Sunday in Montreal.

Djokovic upends Fish for Rogers Cup title MONTREAL — Top-ranked Novak Djokovic won the Rogers Cup on Sunday for his ninth tournament victory of the year and record fifth in a season in an ATP Masters 1,000 event, beating Mardy Fish, 6-2, 3-6, 6-4.

The 24-year-old Serb, the Australian Open and Wimbledon champion, is 29-0 this year on hard courts and 53-1 overall. He also won the Rogers Cup in 2007.

“I am human — I can definitely assure you of that,” Djokovic said. “I guess it’s just all about having a positive attitude on the court every day, waking up every day wanting to improve, wanting to win, being determined, being professional. It’s that desire and motivation that keeps me going. Every match I play, I try to win, regardless which match is it or whoever is across the net.”

The sixth-seeded Fish was the only player to win a set a set against Djokovic this week.

“It was a close match, for sure,” Djokovic said. “A couple of points, one good return game in the third set, decided the winner. But it’s a final. I knew that he is not going to give me the match and the win. I knew that I have to fight for it. Up to the last moment, you didn’t really know who is going to win. ”

TENNIS Serena Williams wins Rogers Cup TORONTO — Eight weeks into her comeback, Serena Williams not only believes she can be as good as she once was. She can be better.

The 29-year-old American star made a pretty good point by capturing the Rogers Cup in commanding fashion Sunday, dispatching 10th-seed Samantha Stosur Williams of Australia, 6-4, 6-2, for her first Canadian crown since 2001.

The victory was just the latest step in a remarkable comeback from injury and illness that has seen her win two of the four tournaments she’s played since being sidelined for 49 weeks.

“Being down the way I’ve been down and coming back, it was cool. Eight months ago if there was only one tournament I wanted to win, it was Toronto,” Williams said. “For whatever reason, I really wanted to win this event.

So seeing it come true is really cool. Just going through so much and being able to win is even more amazing.”

NFL Giants’ Umenyiora ends stalemate EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — A somewhat miffed Osi Umenyiora is returning to the New York Giants without a new contract.

In an email to the Associated Press on Sunday evening, the two-time Pro Bowl defensive end said he plans to practice today at training camp, and that he will play this season under the terms of his current contract.

Umenyiora said the Giants offered to put incentives in his contact, which will pay him $7.1 million over the next two seasons, but he rejected them.

“No deal has been reworked,” Umenyiora told the AP. “What has been offered has been unacceptable and shows they don’t really respect the fact I sacrifice my health for the franchise. I will play under my current deal because I love and respect my coaches, my teammates, the fans, and myself. Not for those incentives.”

NASCAR Race at Watkins Glen postponed WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. — Marcos Ambrose should be on pins and needles. He says he’s not, sitting in the third poll position.

“No, not at all,” Ambrose said Sunday after NASCAR postponed the Sprint Cup race at Watkins Glen International because of rain. “It keeps me relaxed. You can’t fight the weather, so I just worry about stuff you can control. I’ve got the kids here with me, so I’m going to play with them a little bit and chill out.”

Steady rain began just when the race was scheduled to start at 1 p.m. and did not abate in time for track crews to dry the 2.45-mile racing surface. They did give it a shot with jet driers that got the front straightaway nearly race-ready, but a second front moved in, forcing the postponement.

The race is now scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. today, but rain also is in the forecast in the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York.

“We really feel like we have a window,” Watkins Glen International president Michael Printup said. “I’ll keep my fingers crossed.”

NASCAR spokeswoman Kristi King said the race would be staged Tuesday if necessary.

The 2009 Watkins Glen Cup race won by Tony Stewart also was postponed a day after the track was hit by a string of thunderstorms.

NBA Thunder F Perkins arrested BEAUMONT, TEXAS — Authorities have charged Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kendrick Perkins with misdemeanor disorderly conduct and public intoxication after an altercation early Saturday morning in South Texas.

A statement from police in Beaumont, Texas, said officers saw a large crowd outside The Ticket night club just after 2 a.m. and received complaints of fights and pepper spray inside.

An officer saw about 50 people inside around Perkins, who police said was attempting to fight the club’s manager. The statement said the crowd pushed Perkins out the back door of the club, where he continued to yell obscenities and start other fights.

MLB Giants’ Zito suffers sprained ankle MIAMI — Barry Zito is expected to be sidelined for “a good long while” in the estimation of Giants manager Bruce Bochy after the left-hander sprained his right ankle in the third inning of a rehab start for Triple-A Fresno on Saturday.

“I saw a picture, and it’s pretty bad,” Bochy said Sunday. “It’s very swollen. It looks like there’s a baseball in there.”

Zito took an awkward step while coming off the mound to back up home plate.

SOCCER Fabregas finally joins Barcelona MADRID — Cesc Fabregas is finally returning to boyhood club Barcelona.

The Spaniard’s long-awaited transfer from Arsenal finally materialized Sunday when the two clubs announced they reached a preliminary agreement for the 24-year-old midfielder.

The deal will be completed once Fabregas signs a contract and undergoes a medical exam today, the clubs said.

Spanish media reports put the price of the transfer at around $57 million.

Rough start dooms Francis, K.C. SCOREBOARD C H I C A G O ( AP ) — The first inning doomed Jeff Francis again on Sunday.

Francis yielded four runs in the first, including Brent Lillibridge’s three-run homer, and the Kansas City Royals lost, 62, to the Chicago White Sox. Francis (4-13) has yielded 26 first-inning runs in 25 starts this year.

“As long as I’ve been pitching, that’s been somewhat of an issue,” he said. “You try everything you can. I think if I found a reason, I probably wouldn’t be doing it.”

The left-hander lasted just 2 3 ⁄3 innings and was charged with six runs and 10 hits. He struck out one and walked two as Kansas City lost for the sixth time in seven games.

“Starts where he’s gotten through the first inning clean,

he generally has real good starts,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “He just struggled to make adjustments today because his stuff wasn’t quite as good.”

John Danks pitched six strong innings and Paul Konerko added three hits for the White Sox (60-60), who have won eight of 10 to reach .500.

They haven’t had a winning record since they were 7-6 on April 15.

“Danks was incredibly sharp,” Yost said. “His stuff was electric right from the get-go.”

Danks was working on a nohitter before Billy Butler reached on a bad-hop single with two out in the sixth. Butler’s roller down the first-base line hopped up and past Lillibridge. Official scorer Bob Rosenberg originally ruled

the play an error, but the call was quickly changed to a hit.

“You can’t really give him an error on that. Nothing he can do on it,” Butler said.

“That’s a terrible hop. There’s bad hops, and there’s terrible hops, that’s a terrible hop.”

Jeff Francoeur followed with a double down the leftfield line and Mitch Maier had a two-run single to cut the White Sox lead to 6-2.

“When you’ve got that kind of stuff and it’s working, you’re going to have a tough day,” Butler said. “We battled and got two off him, but it felt like a lot when we got two off a guy like that.”

Danks (5-9) allowed four hits, struck out six and walked four, improving to 5-1 with a 2. 29 ERA in his last nine starts.

Dear Annie: My motherin-law has always had issues with her self-image and is borderline anorexic. Recently, Mom had surgery. As a result, she lost weight and has been unable to gain it back.

She also suffers from depression, for which she takes medication.

Recently, her mind has been slipping more and more, and she seems disorganized in her thinking. My husband brought this to her attention, and she says her anorexia is making it difficult for her to eat enough to gain back the weight, and she has no idea what else could be wrong.

We asked her to talk to her doctor. I believe her poor eating habits are interfering with her ability to function normally.

I am upset and frustrated because I want to help her.

My husband, on the other hand, has dealt with this for most of his life and says the best he can do is bring it to her attention. He feels what she does with the information is up to her. Is there something more I could do?

If not, how do I get past the frustration? — Concerned in New York

KU women Big 12 win again

such a statement rings true.

But it’s not an impossible task. And it can be achieved as long as the remaining nine Big 12 schools and their leaders operate with a balance of integrity and savvy.

Remember, the SEC is not threatening to steal Texas A&M. In fact, a meeting Sunday of SEC presidents and chancellors wrapped with the league saying, it had “reaffirmed our satisfaction with the present 12 institutional alignment. We recognize, however, that future conditions may make it advantageous to expand the number of institutions in the league.... No action was taken with respect to any institution including Texas A&M.” Some reports suggest that the statement merely was the SEC “tapping the brakes” and ensuring that the league was covered in a legal sense.

However, doing so hammered home the point that the mess this time around came about because the Aggies threatened to leave.

It has been my experience in life, and it seems to be the current stance of the Big 12, that when someone wants to quit the team, you tell them not to let the door hit them on the way out.

Still, it would be foolish for KU’s leaders not at least to be looking at other options should Armageddon hit and conference realignment flip into full-on madness. That can be done inhouse and behind closed doors and, without question, is happening.

Right or wrong, good or bad, expect KU athletic director Sheahon Zenger to stand on his beliefs through this one. He said as much on Jan. 3, when he was introduced as KU’s new AD, and has backed it up with every move he has made, public and private.

Some see that as a weakness, something that could hurt Kansas in all of this.

I see it as a strength.

Zenger believes strongly in doing the right thing for the right reason at the right time.

Getting those out of order can create an even bigger mess, and now is not the time for KU to act above its paygrade like a renegade school looking to solve the problem with one punch.

Former KU athletic director Lew Perkins, though heavily connected, was not always easily trusted.

Perkins, like some of the ADs and presidents we’re

seeing at work right now, was notorious for working with people on the front porch and against them at the back door.

More times than not, that benefited Kansas.

But with trust, loyalty and solidarity being what the Big 12 needs to survive, Kansas, and the entire conference, is in better shape with Zenger at the helm, particularly because, unlike Perkins last summer, Zenger has thrown his full attention at this matter and will not blink until it’s resolved.

With Zenger’s brand of leadership, which stresses accountability, morality and pride, it’s much easier for schools such as Oklahoma and Texas — the current power brokers upon which the future of the Big 12 hinges — to want to continue in a partnership with the Jayhawks.

Right now, Zenger has a front-row seat to one heck of a boxing match that’s taking place mostly in Texas. He hasn’t stepped foot in the ring and doesn’t plan to be dragged into it.

As long as he keeps his hands up and his head on a swivel, Kansas will be fine, Big 12 or no Big 12.

“I’ll put the game-day experience at Kyle Field against anywhere,” he said.

wonder why you went,” Giles said.

Aggies such as Giles are fed up with perception and reality not matching in terms of comparing the athletic performances of UT and A&M. “As I’m listening to the ESPN perspective, it’s pretty clear to me the position is A&M is a second-class citizen to Texas,” Giles said.

“Our programs have been on a par the past few years, and over the last 25 years (A&M) is 13-12 against Texas.

“Nobody would think that.”

Giles doesn’t run from the reality his Aggies don’t at the moment have the talent to

win the SEC, but he also believes dangling the chance to play in the nation’s top conference would upgrade recruiting.

“Dalton Santos, the No. 1 middle linebacker recruit, was deciding between Tennessee and A&M,” Giles said. “The unequivocal, undeniable reason he chose Tennessee was he wanted to play in the SEC. He wanted to play smash-mouth football.

“That’s the style of play A&M fans want to see. If we could watch a football game and the score was 3-0 and we had 3, it would be a great football game.”

didn’t get to do when I first came in. Not red-shirting my freshman year, then redshirting when I came here opened my eyes to a lot of things I didn’t see as a freshman. I feel like it helped me a lot. It matured me, slowed the game down a lot and helped me process the game a lot faster.”

It’s no secret Kansas has emphasized speed in recruit-

ing, and in that regard Willis is a poster child.

“He’s a great player,” said sophomore weakside ’backer Huldon Tharp. “He’s really athletic, but still has some of the same size as the middle linebackers we’ve had in the past. He’s definitely got some really good leadership qualities and a good work ethic, so he should be helping us out a lot this year.”

MONTECATINI , I TALY — Carolyn Davis cored 25 points, and Kansas University’s women’s basketball team improved to 2-0 during its tour of Italy with a 90-76 victory over Roma Selezione on Sunday.

Davis hit 12 of 19 field-goal attempts and had seven rebounds.

Aishah Sutherland led KU with 16 rebounds and added 10 points.

The Jayhawks fell behind, 24-22, after the first quarter, but never trailed after taking a 42-41 lead just before the half.

Angel Goodrich also had a double-double: 12 points, 12 assists.

KU will travel to Venice today, then play its third of four games Wednesday in Lake Como.

Remember, a year ago, Missouri’s infatuation with the Big Ten was leaked, and, in a matter of seconds, the rest of the Big 12 was ready to say good riddance.

The Tigers still are in recovery mode from that move, a fact that was made clear this weekend by the way MU athletic director Mike Alden handled the drama this time around. Like KU, Alden has demonstrated undying loyalty to the Big 12, both behind closed doors and in the media. It’s a good move, one that, in no small way, allows Texas AD DeLoss Dodds and others to say with conviction that the Big 12 nine remain committed to the conference.

People want to say that the Big 12 has been weak, but that’s not entirely true. If anything, the conference has shown great poise and moxie by telling those that want to leave, “We’ll be fine without you.” Somehow, that has been overlooked.

There is some work that must be done to ensure that

J-W Staff Report

Butler University defender Claire Milam’s goal from 27 yards out just over three minutes into overtime lifted the Bulldogs to a 3-2 exhibition soccer victory over Kansas University on Sunday at Jayhawk Soccer Complex.

The Jayhawks led 2-0 midway through the second half, but were one player down after defender Shelby Williamson was assessed a red card in the 56th minute.

KU scored in the 66th minute on a goal from Whitney Berry off an assist from Lianna Salazar. Less than three minutes later, Ingrid Vidal scored.

Freshman Kelsey Lyden hit the crossbar in overtime; Butler scored the game-winner less than three minutes later.

KU used both Kaitlyn Stroud and Kat Liebetrau in net. Stroud had five saves and Liebetrau three in the second half and overtime, including a spectacular diving stab.

Butler outshot KU, 20-12.

Vidal had five shots and Berry three. KU will play host to Tennessee at 5 p.m. Friday at Jayhawk Soccer Complex.

As frustrating as last season was, Willis reckons it did nothing but make him better.

Arkansas guard narrows his list

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Archie Goodwin, a 6-foot-4, 180-pound senior shooting guard from Sylvan Hills High in Little Rock, Ark., has narrowed his college basketball recruiting list to eight, Zagsblog.net reports.

Goodwin, who is Rivals.com’s No. 11-rated player nationally, has a list of Kansas University, Arkansas, Baylor, Georgetown, Kentucky, Memphis, Missouri and UConn.

He sliced Florida and Louisville from his most recent list of 10.

“I’m going to take some visits this fall, probably take a couple in September if I can,” he told Zagsblog. “But as far as a decision, it will probably come late (in April).”

Goodwin previously had told Zagsblog that Arkansas and Kentucky likely would be in his final five.

“Other than those two, the others are probably wideopen,” he said. “But I’m still giving everybody a fair chance, no matter what.”

As far as his ability, he said: “I think I’ll be a player that stands out at whatever school I go to just because of my work ethic and how much I bring to the game.”

Goodwin played this past summer for the Arkansas Wings AAU team. He was impressive at the Nike Peach Jam in mid July despite playing with a bulky brace on a left wrist that he dislocated.

The Memphis Commercial-Appeal said, “Goodwin didn’t disappoint, scoring from all over the floor and wowing the crowd late in the game with a reverse dunk in which he took off from the right side of the rim, glided underneath the basket and jammed the ball on the other side. He didn't shoot particularly well, finishing at 38.3 percent (36-of-94) for the tournament, but was able to get to the rim almost effortlessly. His 45 free-throw attempts (he made 24) tied for the second-most.”
