Brownback confident in private arts funding Gov. Sam Brownback on Wednesday expressed confidence in arts funding in Kansas despite Tuesday’s announcement that the state lost federal matching grants because he vetoed state funding for the Brownback arts. Though he acknowledged it would take time, Brownback said he was pleased with the fundraising so far by a new nongovernment foundation. Page 4A

And Kansas Gibler? The seventhgrader managed to shake off her jitters, moving from door to overheadglass door at South Middle School.

Kansas falling behind other states in child poverty prevention

National data shows that more and more Kansas children are living in poverty.

“I think what’s disconcerting is that Kansas is falling behind” other states in a national survey, said Christie Appelhanz, vice president of public affairs

ARCADIA — Gov. Sam Brownback on Wednesday told higher education officials that they must improve the academic rankings of Kansas universities and that he has no problem with raising admission standards at the schools.

But the Republican governor also told the Kansas Board of Regents not to expect much extra funding for higher education. He warned of tight budget times ahead because of pressures to cut the federal budget.

“Our revenues are starting to come back as a state, but they are not coming back as fast as we are losing federal monies,” he said.

He said Kansas schools need to focus on core strengths, and that may mean that some less-used degree programs should be disbanded.

Brownback’s comments came during a wide-ranging discussion with the regents, which completed its threeday retreat.

Regent Robba Moran of Hays said she agreed with Brownback’s position.

REAL ESTATE

Bella Sera residents hope to expand community after sale

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

The granite is polished, the pool is filled, the outdoor kitchen is stocked, and the lobby still “looks like a fourstar hotel.”

Now, all that is missing are people to live here.

The handful of residents at the Bella Sera at the Preserve complex are hoping that soon will start changing as an area bank works to take over the multimillion dollar condominium development along Bob Billings Parkway near Wakarusa Drive.

M&I Marshall & Ilsley Bank is in the process of foreclosing on the property after the development group that built the project back in 2006 has fallen behind on its payments. The sheriff’s sale for the property will be at 10

Steeples estimates that only 13 of the approximately 50 condominium units are occupied.

According to court documents, the development has struggled financially. The project received a $16.28 million loan in 2006, but the loan went into default as the development group fell behind on the payments. About $13.45 million remains unpaid on the loan, according to court records. a.m. today at the Judicial and Law Enforcement Center, 111 E. 11th St. “The neighbors who are here are anxious to get more neighbors,” said Tammy Steeples, who lives at the development.

Steeples estimates that only 13 of the approximately 50 condominium units are occupied. According to court documents, the development has struggled finan-

cially. The project received a $16.28 million loan in 2006, but the loan went into default as the development group fell behind on the payments. About $13.45 million remains unpaid on the loan, according to court records.

She said the development is extremely nice. It includes a swimming pool, a huge patio, an outdoor kitchen, a media room for up to 20 people, a bar area and a lobby that

“looks like a four-star hotel.”

But she said the development group — which was lead by Lawrence businessman Jes Santaularia — got the project started at the wrong time. The real estate bubble burst, and home and condo sales dried up.

Steeples said since word of the foreclosure began to circulate a few weeks ago, several community members have been asking whether there would be a buying opportunity at the development.

“We’re hoping that this will really allow them to start selling again,” Steeples said.

“Maybe there will be some bargains out here for awhile.”

The sale includes about 38 unfinished condo units, plus a vacant lot that is adjacent to the property. It wasn’t immediately clear whether

today’s auction would sell the condo units individually or whether all the property would be sold in bulk.

A spokeswoman with the Sheriff’s Department did not know, and the attorney handling the foreclosure for the bank was unavailable for comment. But the legal filings suggested the property would be sold in bulk.

That makes it unlikely that many individuals will be bidders. The minimum bid for the property will be the $13.45 million owed on the loan, and the state’s foreclosure laws require the winning bidder to submit a cashier’s check for the full amount shortly after the auction has concluded.

DEATHS Dorothy May Pine Dorothy May Pine died on August 16th in Boulder at 91 years of age. She had been struggling with the devastating effects of Alzheimer’s during the last years of her life. Dorothy was born on April 24, 1920 in Lawrence, Kansas to Ernest Handsome May and Ester Wilhemina (Abels) May. She was a graduate of the University of Kansas with a degree in nutrition.

She was a memPine ber of the Kappa Phi sorority and Secretary of the Independent Student Association at KU. On July 26, 1942 Dorothy married Robert Eugene Pine in San Diego.

As the wife of a World War II naval aviator, Dorothy spent many of her early years raising a family and moving the household to various naval bases around the country. In 1963, the family permanently settled down in Boulder, CO with Robert’s retirement from the Navy.

Dorothy became a real estate agent working for Walter Slack Reality and Robert went to work for the University of Colorado.

Upon their retirement they traveled extensively. Dorothy and Robert became the first

couple in the world to have visited each of the world’s 192 recognized countries as well as 123 territories, island groups and special destinations as established by the Travelers Century Club. Dorothy is also recognized as the first woman to have achieved this milestone. They are considered to be the world’s most traveled couple and were duly recognized in 2006 by the Colorado State Senate and House of Representatives for this accomplishment.

A Kansas girl through and through, when asked what her favorite destination in the world was, her answer would always be Lawrence, Kansas.

Dorothy is survived by three children: Judith Young of Broomfield, Jeffrey Pine of Blackhawk and Jeremy Pine of Longmont, seven grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

Dorothy was preceded in death by her husband, Robert, who died in 2008, two brothers, Nelson May of California and Donald May of Kansas.

There will be a memorial service held at the Sunrise Senior Living facility, 3955 28th Street, Boulder, in the Reminiscence wing on Saturday, August 27, 2011 at 11:00 a.m.

In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to Vista Care Hospice, 4350 Wadsworth Blvd.

KDHE leader voices concerns over flood of EPA regulations

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

A steady stream of proposed regulations from the Environmental Protection Agency could be a burden for Kansas.

“We are in a period of time where the EPA is coming out with new regulation proposals almost weekly, sometimes it seems like it’s daily,” said John Mitchell, director of the environment division at the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.

Mitchell discussed those regulations and how they could impact the state as part of his opening remarks Wednesday at the Kansas Environmental Conference in Topeka.

“States are in a position of reduced resources in way of staff and funding, but these new proposals that have come out generally are required to be implemented in a short period of time. That is a challenge for the staff,” Mitchell said after his remarks.

In particular, Mitchell is concerned about proposed regulations surrounding air and water quality.

Among the biggest question marks is the possibility of the EPA raising the standards for ozone pollutants,

which cause smog. If new standards are adopted, some Kansas cities such as Wichita could be at risk for not meeting the federal agency’s standards and would be required to implement a plan to reduce ozone levels.

Kansas also is among the six Midwest states targeted in the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule, which the EPA finalized in July. The new rule requires these states to reduce their nitrogen oxide emissions during the summertime when ozone levels are at their highest. Kansas is also among the 27 states that have to work with power plants to reduce harmful emissions such as mercury, nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide.

Phase one of those regulations goes into effect next January and phase two in 2014. While states in the eastern part of the country have had programs in place to prevent cross-state air pollution, those west of the Mississippi have not, Mitchell said.

“The rule is requiring

us to really think hard and work with (electric utility) companies in Kansas and figure out how we stay in compliance with new regulations. It’s a real challenge,” Mitchell said.

The EPA is also focusing on nutrient reduction, mainly for nitrogen and phosphorus levels. The nutrients come from wastewater treatment plants as well as water runoff and groundwater that contains fertilizer.

While the EPA is pushing to set a specific limit for nutrients, Mitchell said the reduction needs to be a shared effort among stakeholders.

High nutrients have become a concern because of the prevalence of large blue green algae blooms in reservoirs and ponds throughout the state. These algae blooms have made people sick and caused animals to die. Mitchell urged the state to take a leadership role in the problem.

“We do need to address nutrient reduction in surface water. We need to do that working together or someone from the federal level is going to do it for us,” Mitchell said.

Kansas students beat national average on ACT test Staff and Wire Reports

TOPEKA — Kansas students scored higher than the national average this year on the ACT college readiness exam.

The ACT consists of four tests in English, math, reading and science. Each is scored on a scale from 1 to 36, with scores averaged to create a composite score.

The average composite score in Kansas stayed flat

this year at 22, slightly above the national average of 21.1.

Seventy-nine percent of Kansas graduates in the class of 2011 took the test, up from 75 percent last year. Nationally, 49 percent of this year’s graduates took the test.

Scores are generally highest in states with the lowest percentages of students taking the exam.

College-bound students in the Lawrence school district posted improved scores on the ACT exam for 2010-11, the

district reported Wednesday.

In all, 462 students in district schools recorded an average score of 24, exceeding the state and national averages.

The district’s average was up from 23.6 a year earlier, 23.7 in 2008-09, 23.1 in 2007-08, and 23.4 in 2006-07.

Students at Free State High School averaged 24.2 last year, while students from Lawrence High School averaged 23.7.

Still, he said, “it’s better than being at the bottom — a lot better.”

All students in middle school have plenty to learn, both in academics and about themselves, said Will Fernandez, principal at South.

Seventh-graders, beginning this year, just happen to be “in the middle” at South and elsewhere in a district full of changes.

“They’re adolescents,” Fernandez said. “They’re right in the middle of role confusion.

They don’t know what they want to do. They don’t know what they’re going to be. …

“They are in the middle, so how they act and how they

Anton and his classmates spent Wednesday learning about the school’s operations, history and traditions.

They’ll be starting actual class Thursday, joining all other students in the district.

sense,” she said.

Brownback said the regents should set goals for the higher education system, measure them and implement consequences if the marks aren’t met.

He cited the U.S. News & World Report ranking of Kansas University, Kansas State University and other regents schools, and said improvement must be made. In the 2010 report, KU ranked 47th among national public universities and K-State, 66th.

“We have got to do better than that,” Brownback said.

He said improving the quality of the higher education is key to reversing negative

economic trends.

“You have probably the best asset pool we have to change these numbers,” he told the regents.

Since a sizable portion of the academic rankings deals with admission standards, Brownback said he would support individual universities tightening standards as long as Kansas high school graduates still had the opportunity to attend a regents school.

Brownback also said he wants to increase emphasis on technical training in high schools and colleges, saying that most future jobs will require some kind of technical skill.

Regent Dan Lykins of Topeka noted that for the first time in history, tuition is making up more of funding higher education than state appropriations. He asked

Brownback calls SRS solution ‘workable’

Bomb plot aimed for mass casualties

By Scott Rothschild

Police were already keeping an eye on 17-year-old expelled student Jared Cano when they were tipped off that he was allegedly planning to bomb his old high school when classes resumed.

In his apartment, they found shrapnel, plastic tubing, timing and fuse devices that he was amassing in a plot he intended to be worse than the Columbine mass killings, police said Wednesday.

Before Tuesday’s discovery, Cano has been arrested several times, most recently accused of breaking into a house and stealing a handgun, Tampa police said.

He had a court-ordered curfew and was on a police watch list. Officers checked up on him from time to time.

Besides the bomb-making materials, officers said they also found a journal with schematic drawings of rooms inside Freedom High School and statements about Cano’s intent to kill specific administrators and any students who happened to be nearby next week.

srothschild@ljworld.com

ARCADIA — Gov. Sam Brownback on Wednesday said local taxpayers footing the bill to keep the Lawrence welfare office open was “a workable solution.”

But Brownback declined to comment on whether the state would pick up the tab down the road.

“I can’t speak to that,” he said.

Brownback said the state still

faces tough budget decisions and his administration would continue looking for efficiencies and savings.

“We have to look at all the dimes and nickels,” he said.

Brownback’s administration stunned Lawrence on July 1 when it announced plans to close the Lawrence office of the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services, along with eight others.

The Lawrence office was by far the largest of those set for closure, serving thousands of

people. Brownback and SRS Secretary Robert Siedlecki Jr. said clients using SRS services could access them on the internet or travel to other SRS offices in nearby cities.

Local advocates said that wasn’t possible because to get many SRS services requires face-to-face meetings, and many clients don’t have transportation.

After a public outcry over the decision, the Lawrence City Commission and Douglas County Commission agreed to

pay $450,000 to keep the office open for two years. The payment satisfied SRS’ demand to cut costs and Siedlecki said the agency would make a good faith effort to seek adequate funding in subsequent years to keep the office open.

Brownback said the state needed to be as efficient as possible in order to have revenue to provide services.

Rebels battle for last oil refinery Dozens of opposition fighters surrounded Libya’s last functioning oil refinery Wednesday and laid siege to about 100 government troops, part of a push which brought them closer to seizing this strategic western city.

A rebel victory in Zawiya could be a turning point in the six-month-old war and leave Moammar Gadhafi nearly cornered in his increasingly isolated stronghold of Tripoli, the capital, just 30 miles to the east along the Mediterranean coast.

Rebel fighters are now closing in on the capital from the west and the south, while NATO controls the seas to the north. The opposition is in control of most of the eastern half of the country and has declared Benghazi, 620 miles east of Tripoli, as its de facto capital.

Wednesday’s fighting focused around the sprawling refinery complex on the western outskirts of Zawiya, a city of 200,000. The rebels, who began their assault on the refinery a day earlier, took control of the facility’s three-story administration building, tearing down the Gadhafi regime’s green flag that flew over the grounds.

3 | MADRID

Attack planned on anti-Pope crowd A chemistry student working as a volunteer for the pope’s visit to Madrid was arrested on suspicion of planning a gas attack targeting protesters opposed to the pontiff’s stay, officials said Wednesday.

Pope Benedict XVI is due to arrive today for a nearly four-day visit to celebrate World Youth Day, and thousands of protesters railing against his visit staged a largely peaceful march Wednesday night to Madrid’s central Sol plaza where they have held months of demonstrations against Spanish politicians and the government’s antiausterity policies.

A police official said the suspect arrested in Madrid Tuesday is a 24-year-old Mexican student specializing in organic chemistry. She would not say whether investigators believe the man was actually capable of carrying out a gas attack, and did not know if he actually had chemicals that could have been used to assault the protesters.

Perry doubts manmade warming GOP presidential candidate Rick Perry told New Hampshire voters Wednesday that he does not believe in manmade global warming, calling it a scientific theory that has not been proven.

“I think we’re seeing almost weekly, or even daily, scientists that are coming forward and questioning the original idea that manmade global warming is what is causing the climate to change,” the Texas governor said on the first stop of a two-day trip to the first-in-the-nation primary state.

He said some want billions or trillions of taxpayer dollars spent to address the issue, but he added: “I don’t think from my perspective that I want to be engaged in spending that much money on still a scientific theory that has not been proven and from my perspective is more and more being put into question.”

Q:

If I was walking on a county or township road and my neighbor’s dog chases and tries to bite me, do I have a right to protect myself to get the dog off me?

A:

You have the right to defend yourself from a dog on a public road.

According to Kansas law, an animal can be killed if it is away from its owner’s property, and “is found injuring or posing a threat to any person, farm animal or property” (K.S.A.21-4310 - Cruelty to Animals).

LMH board approves spending $1M in bonuses, renovation

and earn some interest from it, but he advised against doing that. He said the rate of return is “skimpy” at best. So he encouraged the hospital to reinvest in other ways. Management decided on the bonuses and renovation work at LMH South.

The construction project will relocate Kreider Rehabilitation Services from the Mt. Oread Building to the second floor at LMH South, which is next door. The second floor is vacant and formerly housed the Endoscopic Center, which has moved into the hospital.

Improvements also will include remodeling work on the first floor, which houses the Breast Center and radiology services.

Karen Shumate, chief operating officer, said the project will provide better patient flow and more privacy for patients. It also will be more attractive, especially for the clients who use Kreider Rehab. Since January, about 6,900 people have used its services at LMH South.

“It will be a nicer place to exercise because the patients will be facing a wall of windows facing Kasold, so they are going to have a better view,” she said.

LMH leaders anticipate with the new layout that they will be able to offer more wellness services at the site — for example, a pediatric fitness program designed for obese youth.

The renovation work is expected to start this fall and take 14 to 16 weeks to complete.

LMH will save $103,500 annually in lease payments for Kreider’s current location in the Mt. Oread building. LMH will continue to lease space in the Mt. Oread building for its family physician practice and Sleep Center. Kreider Rehab will continue to offer services at LMH and in Eudora as well.

A 27-year-old Overland Park woman was injured Tuesday night after she was ejected from a vehicle near De Soto on Kansas Highway 10, a Johnson County Sheriff’s spokesman said.

Pamela Sherrell who was headed west at 9 p.m. near the Kill Creek Road exit drifted off the highway onto the outside shoulder, when she overcorrected and lost control of her vehicle, Master Deputy Tom Erickson said. The vehicle went into the median and struck a guardrail.

Erickson said Sherrell was then thrown from the vehicle.

Lawrence Memorial Hospital’s Board of Trustees surprised its 1,284 employees Wednesday by giving them each a bonus.

“They deserve it. It was an opportunity for us to recognize them for their great efforts with patient care and quality and financial efficiencies,” LMH President and CEO Gene Meyer said.

Full-time employees received $500 and part-time staff got $250. The bonuses are worth a total $575,927.

The bonus amount was the same whether an employee made $7.25 an hour or $70 an hour.

She was taken to an area hospital by ground ambulance.

Sheriff’s officers are still investigating the cause of the crash, Erickson said Wednesday morning. No other vehicle were involved. A condition report Wednesday evening was not available.

CONDITION UPDATES • A 37-year-old Overbrook man who was injured Friday night in a motorcycle accident on U.S. Highway 59 south of Lawrence was released from the hospital earlier this week.

A Kansas University Hospital spokesman said Jeremiah Adams was released from the hospital Monday.

ARCADIA — Gov. Sam Brownback on Wednesday expressed confidence in arts funding in Kansas despite the announcement that the state lost federal matching grants because he vetoed state funding for the arts.

On Tuesday, the National Endowment for the Arts said it couldn’t provide assistance to Kansas because of Brownback’s decision to withdraw state aid to the Kansas Arts Commission. The decision probably cost Kansas about $1.2 million.

Brownback applied a line-item veto to funding the Kansas Arts Commission, essentially leaving an agency with no budget or staff. He proposed fundraising be handled by a new nongovernment foundation.

On Wednesday, Brownback said he wished the NEA had given Kansas more

time and worked with the state.

He said private m o n e y is being raised for the arts, although he Brownback said that will take some time.

“I am pleased to see what the commission has done to date,” he said.

In the past, Kansas invested about $700,000 annually to secure $1.2 million in external grants for arts programs throughout the state.

During the last legislative session, Brownback had proposed getting rid of the Arts Commission and replacing it with a private fundraising group.

But his executive order to do that was rejected on a bipartisan vote in the Sen-

ate. Legislators in the House and Senate then approved a state budget that included $689,000 for the Arts Commission, but Brownback vetoed that funding.

Joplin goes back to school

Services CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

By Alan Scher Zagier Associated Press

JOPLIN, MO. — Seniors and juniors are taking classes in a converted big-box store.

Freshmen and sophomores are in a building across town.

The new middle school is in an industrial park.

Across Joplin, the schools are still a jumble, with books, computer monitors and unassembled furniture littering unfamiliar hallways. But as classes resumed Wednesday, students and teachers welcomed the start of another year as a return to something normal — or what passes for normal in a city crippled last spring by the nation’s single deadliest tornado in six decades.

“You can’t pretend like nothing happened,” said high school English teacher Brenda White. “But everything is so new here. Every single thing that is this school is new and different.”

The twister killed 160 people, injured hundreds more and destroyed thousands of buildings, including Joplin’s only public high school. Now after months of cleaning up debris, attending funerals and trying to rebuild shattered lives, it was time to get back to pop quizzes and homework assignments.

“It’s going to take a while to build everything back, but books are a good start,” White said while stocking her classrooms with copies of “The Great Gatsby,” ‘‘The Kite Runner” and other literary standards, past and present.

The school system was hit especially hard by the May 22 tornado.

Seven students and one employee were among the victims, including a senior pulled from his car by winds on his way home from the Joplin High School graduation ceremony. Six school buildings were destroyed, includ-

STUDENTS LOG ON TO THEIR NEW LAPTOP COMPUTERS on the first day of school Wednesday at a temporary high school in a converted big-box store in Joplin, Mo. School started on time in the district nearly three months after an EF-5 tornado destroyed six schools and damaged four others along with killing 160 people and devastating a third of the city. ing the high school. Seven other buildings were badly damaged.

District leaders quickly realized that they would play a huge role in Joplin’s recovery, for reasons symbolic as much as practical. They expanded the hours and locations of summer school in an effort to give children a reassuring routine — and their parents the time to deal with insurance agents, contractors and social service agencies.

They cobbled together a hodge-podge of temporary locations for fall classes, from the old Shopko store at Northpark Mall to a former Missouri Department of Transportation office where the superintendent and other administrators now work. Rival elementary schools combined, and a middle school found space in an industrial park.

Even in a corner of the

country where hard work is cherished, the swiftness of the transformation was striking, White said.

“I’ve always known people are strong here. But this has really brought it home,” she said. “People are so strong.

They just get up, dust off and go to work.”

Students arrived at the “mall school” Wednesday morning to a bevy of wellwishers holding Joplin High signs and lining the entrance road. Some teens gathered in modular classrooms, right next to a row of concretelined storm shelters. Others lingered in hallways.

They raved about the school’s college-like feel.

Drinks will soon be available from Joplin Joe’s coffee bar, and every student could get a free laptop thanks to a donation from the United Arab Emirates worth as much as $1 million.

BUSINESS AT A GLANCE

Notable ! For what is normally a sleepy month, there are so many customers at the Gold Standard, a New York company that buys jewelry, that it feels like Christmas in August.

Welcome to the new American gold rush. The price of gold is on a remarkable run, setting a record seemingly every other day.

Stomach-churning volatility in the stock market this month has only made investors covet gold more.

Some want it as a safe investment for turbulent times. What worries some investors is that many others are buying simply because the price is rising and they want to make money fast.

“Is gold the next bubble?” asks Bill DiRocco, a golf company manager in Overland Park, Kan., who shifted 10 percent of his portfolio earlier this year into an investment fund that tracks the price of gold. He stopped buying because the price kept rising.

Obama’s plan: New jobs proposals, challenging GOP

By Ben Feller Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Under fire in a nation desperate for jobs, President Barack Obama will soon announce a broad package of tax cuts, construction work and help for the millions of Americans who have been unemployed for months, a White House official said Wednesday. Republicans immediately cast doubt about any such plan, setting up a fresh economic showdown as the presidential campaign intensifies.

Obama will unveil his economic strategy in a speech right after Labor Day, hoping to frame the autumn jobs debate by pressuring Republicans in Congress to act or face the voters’ wrath. The country is in a deep state of disgust about Washington politics, piling urgency on both parties to help the economy quickly — or somehow position the other side to take the blame.

To pay for his jobs ideas, Obama will challenge the new “super committee” in Congress to go well beyond its goal of finding $1.5 trillion in deficit reduction, with part of the savings used to cover some of his economy-jolting help without sinking the nation deeper in debt. But there, too, Obama already faces trouble from Republican members who have ruled out tax hikes.

It’s all leading to a sharp campaign for public opinion, the outcome shaping the presidential and congressio-

nal elections in 2012.

Obama, as the most visible target for voter ire, is seeking re-election with unemployment north of 9 percent. No incumbent in recent times has won a second term with the jobless rate anywhere near that high.

The final details of Obama’s new economic plan have not been decided, and it is expected to be broader than the proposals known so far.

It is likely to include tax cuts to help the middle class, a build-up-America construction program that goes beyond any infrastructure proposal Obama has had already, and targeted help for the particularly worrisome group of people who have remained unemployed for many months in a row.

A White House official confirmed those details to The Associated Press, on condition of anonymity because the president has not disclosed them publicly.

In Illinois on Wednesday, Obama broadly outlined his plans to help the fragile economy and have the costs covered as part of a broad plan to reduce the deficit. He pledged to present a specific way to do both to the super committee of lawmakers assigned to come up with such a deficit-slicing plan before Thanksgiving.

Previewing his line of argument, Obama has spent much of a three-day bus tour through the Midwest lobbying people to pressure their members of Congress to deal with him.

City,” said Oliver Harris, one of Owens’ friends and pallbearer at his service Wednesday, “and not put front tires on the ground.”

Owens raced dirt bikes for years and also worked off and on for Jimmy Creten, who with his wife, Dawn Creten, race monster trucks Bounty Hunter and Scarlet Bandit respectively.

Creten asked Owens to race one of his trucks, Iron Outlaw, on the monster truck circuit. Owens had been racing for about a year and a half. He recently was named Monster Jam rookie of the year.

“He was a natural,” Creten said. “And an old motocross guy. It’s not too different, flying through the air on a bike or an ATV or monster truck.

If you’re flying through the air, you’re flying through the air.”

Creten said Owens “could do anything” and that Creten never had to tell Owens something twice. He was a quick learner.

A Hot Wheels replica of the Iron Outlaw was placed in Owens’ casket, as was one his monster truck crew’s shirts.

In the funeral procession, the Iron Outlaw truck made its way on a trailer from Quisenberry Funeral Home in downtown Tonganoxie to Maple Grove Cemetery just south of Tonganoxie, as did a host of motorcycles.

Owens’ casket made the journey in the back of his uncle’s 1955 Ford panel truck

Thursday, August 18, 2011 adorned with the words “Owens Garage.”

Friends also noted Owens was successful at most things, whether it was working on vehicles, putting up fences or doing collision repair.

Some of that repair came in Creten’s shop working on monster truck bodies.

Calvin Quisenberry, owner of the funeral home, estimated that 200 people attended the service and only standing room remained.

Brian Quisenberry, Calvin’s son who also works in the family business, was one of Owens’ classmates at Tonganoxie High School.

He described Owens as “a character.” And if he ever rode in a vehicle Owens was driving, Brian joked, “Usually I was putting my seat belt on as quick as possible.”

But he also was quick to point out that Owens was talented.

“Anything you could do with your hands, Nick could do pretty much,” Brian said.

While finishing up at the funeral home after Tuesday’s visitation, Brian heard the “Dukes of Hazzard” theme song playing, one of many that played on a loop during the visitation.

“There couldn’t be a more

fitting song for the kind of guy Nick was,” Brian said.

Pallbearers wore shirts that read “Living Fast Forward,” a tribute to a Kenny Chesney song that was Owens’ favorite. On the back of the shirt, Owens’ favorite phrase: “Let’s Ride.”

Cody Thornton, another friend and pallbearer, said Owens was always there for a friend, whether it was to go fishing or someone to talk to, “at the drop of a hat.”

A large contingent of friends and family were at the visitation Tuesday as well.

Owens’ older brother, Mike Gibson, said that the turnout was a testament to Owens touching so many lives and that his family couldn’t thank everyone enough for the outpouring of support.

He said he also planned to ride his motorbike Wednesday night in honor of his brother.

“Tonight I’m going to go for a ride and my little brother’s gonna be right there with me,” Gibson said Wednesday afternoon.

Plaza parallel Local officials concerned about intimidating crowds in downtown Lawrence might keep an eye on developments on the Country Club Plaza.

T

he problems with large groups of teens and pre-teens roaming the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City, Mo., may strike a familiar chord with some Lawrence residents and officials.

Fortunately, the issue of intimidating crowds in downtown Lawrence hasn’t become as acute or dangerous as what apparently is occurring on the Plaza. Nonetheless, local officials may be able to learn something by watching how Kansas City off icials approach this problem.

If the Kansas City mayor wasn’t concerned enough about this issue before, his trip to the Plaza Saturday night certainly should have raised his awareness. His body guards shoved Mayor Sly James into a Plaza flower bed shortly before 11 p.m. last Saturday when shooting broke out about 50 feet from where the mayor was walking. He was not injured but three teenagers weren’t so lucky. A bullet grazed the face of a 13year-old girl, and two boys, ages 15 and 16, were shot in their legs. None of the injuries was lifethreatening, according to police.

Perhaps they weren’t life-threatening for the teenagers, but what about the Plaza? It won’t take many incidents like the one on Saturday night to have a devastating impact on one of the area’s landmark shopping and entertainment areas. No matter how attractive the Plaza is, it won’t take long for it to become a ghost town if people can’t feel safe there.

Plaza businesses are understandably concerned. James was in the area Saturday with a former city council member and a group of ministers to assess the crowd problems. Highwood Properties, the owner of the Plaza, along with individual business owners are asking city officials to consider a 9 p.m. curfew for unaccompanied minors on the Plaza.

That’s one approach but community leaders also are looking at how to engage teens in other activities and how to get parents engaged in providing better supervision for their children. Teens have a right to walk around the Plaza, but large crowds can be intimidating to others and can help set the stage for the kind of violence that occurred Saturday night. Too great a police presence in the area also can have a negative impact on the ambiance that people love on the Plaza.

It may be on a smaller scale, but many of the same issues faced on the Plaza also have been reported in downtown Lawrence. What is the best way to protect the safety and ambiance of downtown? It will be interesting to see what solutions are applied in Kansas City and how they work.

Europe’s military decline stirs concern LONDON — During the Second World War, a future prime minister, Harold Macmillan, said America is “the new Roman empire and we Britons, like the Greeks of old, must teach them how to make it go.” How goes the tutoring of Rome by Athens?

We are in the fifth month of the Libyan intervention that Barack Obama’s administration said would involve “days, not weeks,” an undertaking about which Prime Minister David Cameron was much more enthusiastic than Obama, who rarely mentions it. The intervention resulted from Cameron’s and French President Nicolas Sarkozy’s sudden zest for waging humanitarian war.

Before its objective became regime change, the point was to prevent Moammar Gaddafi from inflicting a humanitarian disaster.

Officials here speak of “a crime being committed within our reach.” But what is that reach?

After Gadhafi is deposed, as he probably will be, and after undetermined other nations have been deputed to police Libya’s postwar chaos, which surely there will be, moralists can answer this question: Did NATO’s operations — actually, those of a minority of NATO nations — really serve the humanitarian objective of economizing violence in Libya? And people here can then decide whether this was a sensible undertaking by a British government whose post-recession austerity budget, announced before the Libyan exercise in power pro-

“Britain,” said Cameron, “has punched above its weight in the world, and we should have no less ambition for our country in the decades to come.” He said this when announcing plans to slice military personnel by 10 percent and the army’s tanks and artillery by 40 percent, and the decommissioning of Britain’s only aircraft carrier capable of launching fixed-wing aircraft.

Britain will have no carrier, an essential instrument of power projection, until 2020.

Britain remains a sceptered isle, but not the seat of Mars. So, what weight will Britain punch above?

In a recent lecture here, Max Hastings, a distinguished jour-

nalist and historian experienced with and affectionate toward America, called upon British leaders to understand “how little attention we command among most Americans,” who are no longer Eurocentric and have declining regard for British armed forces, which have “shrunk very small.”

In 2002, during preparations for the invasion of Iraq, the thenhead of the British army, returning from a Washington visit, told Hastings, “Mass matters — and we don’t have it.” Hastings notes that the U.S. Marine Corps’ air wing is larger than the Royal Air Force. Americans know that “if the British Army shrinks as scheduled after withdrawal from Afghanistan, we shall thereafter be able to deploy only a single brigade group of 7,000 to 8,000 men for sustained operations overseas.”

Which has implications for the “special relationship” — Hastings says this is now “a rather pathetic British conceit” — between Britain and America.

“If,” he says, “we wish to play our traditional role abroad in pursuit of any perceived important Western foreign policy objective, to enjoy America’s confidence and share its secrets, we must own armed forces and intelligence assets capable of earning these things.”

NATO’s secretary-general, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, recently warned that “at the current pace of cuts,” it is hard to see how in the future “Europe could maintain enough military capabilities

to sustain” military operations such as those under way in Libya.

Actually, Europe could not sustain them today; only U.S. munitions, intelligence, refueling and other assets keep the Libyan operations going.

Hastings says France is the only European nation with which Britain “can plan jointly for future war-fighting contingencies with a reasonable expectation of commitments being fulfilled”: “No responsible British government could today make an agreement whereby its European partners would become responsible for, say, airborne surveillance or unmanned drone combat capability in a future deployment, because the risk is far too great that on the day, and for whatever reasons, the others simply would not be there.”

Since the Cold War’s end, the combined GDP of NATO’s European members has grown 55 percent, yet their defense spending has declined almost 20 percent.

Twenty years ago, those nations provided 33 percent of the alliance’s defense spending; today, they provide 21 percent.

This is why Robert Gates, before resigning as U.S. defense secretary, warned that unless Europe’s disarmament is reversed, future U.S. leaders “may not consider the return on America’s investment in NATO worth the cost.”

Born to counter the Soviet army on the plains of Northern Europe, NATO may be expiring in North Africa.

From the Lawrence Daily JournalWorld for Aug. 18, 1911: "The new drygoods store of Innes, Bullene & Hackman at the corner of YEARS Massachusetts and Warren streets, was AGO opened to the public this morning at 9 IN 1911 o'clock. And what a store it is, all new and complete and up-to-date in every department.... There are higher buildings in Kansas, but there is no better one. The Journal-World is mightily pleased with the enterprise back of this new building.

It means the right kind of spirit."

Coming to terms with ’The Help’ Mother used to tell this story.

She was working as a domestic — this was the late ’40s or early ’50s — for a Memphis doctor when one day his daughter came up and inexplicably began rubbing her skin. It turned out the child had asked her grandmother why mom’s skin was dark, and the woman, a daughter of the unreconstructed white South, had said the darkness was dirt. The poor little girl was trying to rub the “dirt” off and was surprised it wouldn’t come. Years later, Mom’s voice still mixed anger and humiliation when she told that tale.

But such incidental cruelties were to be expected. Mom was The Help, as in the Kathryn Stockett novel that was released last week as a motion picture. I find myself with irresolute feelings toward both. In this, I am hardly alone. Indeed, “The Help” has met with a certain amount of scorn from some African-Americans unseduced by its story of black maids and their white employers in Jackson, Miss., in that pregnant year, 1963.

An organization called the Association of Black Women Historians has slammed the movie for “stereotyping.” Author Valerie Boyd’s review, which appeared on an Atlanta arts blog, was headlined “A Feel Good Movie for White People.” Some black literati have noted it as yet another example of a white writer reaping great rewards from chronicling African-American passages while black writers who traffic in those same passages cannot get the time

mom something to tell — and even more to live.

As Americans, we lie about race. We lie profligately, obstinately and repeatedly. The first lie is of its existence as an immutable reality delivered unto us from the very hand of God. That lie undergirds all the other lies, lies of Negro criminality, mendacity, ineducability. Lies of sexless mammies and oversexed wenches. Lies of docile child-men and brutal bucks. Lies that exonerate conscience and cover sin with sanctimony. Lies that pinched off avenues of aspiration till “the help” was all a Negro woman was left to be.

I think of those lies sometimes when aging white southerners contact me to share sepia-toned reminiscences about some beloved old nanny who raised them, taught them, loved them, and who was almost a member of the family. Almost.

Reading their emails, I wonder if those folks understand even now, a lifetime later, that that woman did not exist simply as a walk-on character in a white person’s life drama, that she was a fully formed human being with a life, and dreams and dreads of her own.

It is Kathryn Stockett’s imperfect triumph to have understood this and seek to make others understand it, too. I think Mom would have appreciated the effort.

of day from publishers and movie makers.

Though the literati have a valid point, the criticism of “The Help” strikes me otherwise as more reflexive than felt. Stockett told the story of a white misfit bonding with a black maid and helping her find her voice in a society that had rendered her mute. If it is not exactly a black-power manifesto, well, neither is it “Birth of a Nation II.” So what, then, explains my own irresolution? I suspect it traces to nothing more mysterious than the pain of revisiting a time and place — Leonard Pitts Jr., winner of the 2004 of black subservience.

To the editor: First of all, our governor did not order the closing of the SRS office in Lawrence. Never suggested it. He ordered “administrative cuts” be made and, rather than cutting a few high-paying administrative jobs or cut some out-of-town “educational seminars,” the SRS administration decided to close the office.

That said, the “Give back” letter by Jim McCrary (Public Forum, Aug. 16) made a very valid point but only offered one solution to the $300,000 per year SRS building lease.

The landlord (a Lawrence resident) should lower the cost.

Great suggestion, Jim. I think it would be very patriotic and the Christian thing to do (if they are either of those).

About the “deal” made to keep our SRS office open, we all know how the local governments are going to come up with the money for their “deal”: raise more taxes. How about shopping around for a building taxpayers are already paying for? Do we have any recently closed school buildings available? Let’s see, you get ample parking, a reception area, plenty of office and meeting rooms, it is probably wired for computer access, larger “play area” for the kids, and even access to a kitchen where they could serve meals or have a food pantry.

So who owns the empty school buildings in Douglas County? I think it is the taxpayers. Do we as taxpayers ever have a say in these properties we paid for?

I say the local elected officials should shop around. Is this “deal” the best they could come up with? Seriously!

Sam Hunsaker, Lawrence

20 SATURDAY

Busker Fest preview show Friday marks the return of the Lawrence Busker Festival, in which street performers of all disciplines — strong women, musicians, ventriloquists and fire jugglers to name a few — will perform throughout downtown Lawrence all weekend. But why should you wait until Friday like the rest of people?

Buskerfest comes buy once a year, so why not get the most out of it?

Tonight’s Buskerfest preview show at Abe & Jake’s Landing, 8 E. Sixth St., doubles as a charity event for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Douglas County. It features performances from strong woman Mama Lou, pictured; gross-out stunts from sword-swallower Thom Selectomy; prop comedy from Fred Anderson; and feats of grace and balance courtesy of Cate Flaherty. The performers will be available after the showcase, so you can ask Selectomy whether that hurt or Mama Lou if she’ll hoist you over her head with one hand, which she probably could. Tickets for today’s show are $20 for adults and $10 for kids. The doors open at 7 p.m. with the show slated to start at 7:30 p.m.

KU FOOTBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Self has Kansas on streak Bill Self’s words served as panic-attack tonic the last time conference realignment threatened to blind-side Kansas University all the way into nonBCS-conference status. No need for him to step to the podium now because the uneasy feelings about the stability of the Big 12 have a more distant feel.

Self’s high job satisfaction has a soothing impact on KU’s fan base because as long as Self stays, Kansas has a big-time basketball program and appeals to at least some major conferences.

Some might argue that no matter who sits in that chair, Kansas ranks as an elite national powerhouse and a nearly annual threat to get to the Final Four, thanks to a winning tradition, Allen Fieldhouse and a committed fan base. All those factors loom large, but despite all the advantages, the truth is no college basketball program can overcome a bad coaching hire.

Three extraordinary coaching hires in a row, a streak unmatched by any other elite power, has more to do with KU staying on top than any other single factor. No other school can match the consecutive hires made by athletic directors Monte Johnson (Larry Brown), Bob Frederick (Roy Williams) and interim AD Drue Jennings (Self).

Consider, in alphabetical order, the other schools that rank in the Elite Eight of the college game: Connecticut, Duke, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan State, North Carolina and UCLA. When Jim Calhoun retires, UConn might hire a great replacement, which is another way of saying the Huskies might not.

Duke’s streak of great coaching hires is one. Mike Krzyzewski has elevated the job to a great one during his 32-year reign of dominance, putting the Blue Devils in position to make a strong hire when he steps aside, but coaching hires don’t come with guarantees, which brings us to the next school in the alphabet.

None of Bob Knight’s successors — Mike Davis, Kelvin Sampson and Tom Crean — maintained national-power status, although Crean’s recent recruiting coups appear to be building the groundwork for a return to prominence.

Kentucky? Eddie Sutton had a great coaching career, but his time in Lexington generated more NCAA controversy than banners. Rick Pitino, a great coach by any definition, left, and Tubby Smith took over.

Both men won national titles for the Wildcats, but Smith didn’t sustain it well enough for the fan base, felt the heat and escaped to the cooler Minnesota climate. Billy Gillispie, his can’tmiss successor, flopped quickly.

With John Calipari, the hiring streak of great coaches is one.

Michigan State won a national title under Jud Heathcote in 1979 and Tom Izzo in 2000, which makes two great hires in a row.

North Carolina’s streak is one. The Tar Heels already have won two national titles under Williams. Bill Guthridge and Matt Doherty didn’t make anybody forget Dean Smith.

At UCLA, Steve Lavin bridged national-title winner Jim Harrick and Ben Howland, who took the Bruins to the Final Four three consecutive years. Lavin made it at least as far as the Sweet 16 in five of his first six seasons and walked the plank when he went 10-19 one year.

Nothing lasts forever, unless, of course, you make the right hire every time.

AMONG THE FRESHMEN EXPECTED TO PLAY FOR KANSAS UNIVERSITY’S FOOTBALL TEAM this fall include running back Darrian Miller, left, linebacker Collin Garrett, top right, and running back Tony Pierson.

Several rookies have chance to play

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

The coaches have said it and a couple of players have Tweeted it. But there’s just something more convincing about actually hearing the words come out of the players’ mouths.

When the Kansas University football team hits the turf at Memorial Stadium for the season opener against McNeese State 17 days from today, true freshmen will play. And the upperclassmen won’t mind.

“They are the real deal,” senior offensive lineman Jeremiah Hatch said of the freshman class. “These guys, they want to play. They’re doing everything to try to win, even if that means they have to front with us. They’re not scared.

Sometimes we have to calm ’em down and be like, ‘Hey, cool out.’

They’re diving in the water headfirst. I’m very impressed.”

Reed signs with Belgian team

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Burlington native/Kansas University graduate Tyrel Reed will begin his professional basketball career far from home.

The 6-foot-3 combo guard on Wednesday agreed to a one-year contract with VOO VerviersPepinster, a member of the Ethias League in Verviers, Belgium.

Terms were not disclosed.

“I’m just excited to begin this adventure,” said Reed, who along with wife Jessica, heads overseas this weekend for training camp and the start of a season that runs through May, 2012.

“It’s a great opportunity,” Reed added. “It’s not like I’m making NBA money. I don’t really know all the particulars (of salary). Regardless of money, I’m excited to know I will be able to play professional basketball. There are a lot of nerves right now. I guess you could say I’m a rookie not knowing what to expect over there — different language, different country, driving a stick shift. Little things you kind of worry about. You know basketball is still going to be the same.”

Reed noted that former KU/ Gonzaga guard Micah Downs started his pro career with VOO Verviers-Pepinster. Americans currently on the team include former South Carolina guard Devan Downey, Richmond center Dan Geriot and Vanderbilt guard Jermaine Beal.

“It is a stable country, stable team. It’s a really good league,” Reed said. “There’s a lot of great basketball in Belgium.

A lot of good players have played there and moved on to other jobs in Europe. I’m ready to make the most of it.” Reed He expects to be used at both shooting guard and point guard.

“I don’t think I’m set at anything. It’s kind of how KU is,” Reed said. “A guard is a guard, the one and the two. That’s the mind-set I’m going to have.”

There is some positive karma as he and his wife begin this new adventure.

“My team has a blue bird (as

they go out there on the field and they light somebody up or they’re making all kinds of plays, that’s what’s impressive to us.”

Added senior Steven Johnson: “This class is good. They just have to have to the right mindset and they have to learn from the seniors how it’s gotta be. If we leave a good imprint on them, I’m pretty sure KU will be in good shape in the upcoming years.”

When talking about the future, some of the same names kept popping up.

“I want (Blue Springs, Mo., running back) Darrian Miller to play because he’s like the slipperiest back I’ve ever tried to tackle,” Johnson said. “He’s just slipping and sliding. He’s like a snake, and he squirms out of stuff. And he’s fast. And then we’ve got a running back from East St. Louis, (Tony) Pierson. I went one-on-one with him this summer, and I almost lost my shoe. I was like, ‘What in the world?’”

mascot). I don’t know what kind of bird it is,” he said with a laugh. “I don’t think it’s a Jayhawk, but like my sister said, maybe I’m stuck on teams that have birds as their mascot, I don’t know.” !

Most experts figure KU’s run of seven straight Big 12 titles will end this season.

“I wouldn’t pick us to win, either,” KU coach Bill Self said Wednesday in Dana O’Neil’s blog on ESPN.com. “I understand where that’s coming from.

This is probably the most unpredictable season I’ve faced here.”

Self said junior Kevin Young, a 6-8, 185-pound forward who played two seasons at Loyola Marymount, could prove to be the squad’s most important newcomer. Young averaged 10.7 points and 5.3 boards his soph season at LMU. “There would definitely be more of a concern if we didn’t get Kevin,’’ Self told ESPN. “He has a chance to be one of our better players, honestly.”

NFL fines Detroitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Suh $20,000

By Larry Lage

Associated Press Sports Writer

ALLEN PARK, MICH. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ndamukong Suh has been fined a third time for roughing up three different quarterbacks in less than a year.

The Detroit Lions defensive tackle doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t plan to change his game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not by any means,â&#x20AC;? he said

Wednesday after he was fined $20,000 by the NFL for a hit on Cincinnati quarterback Andy Dalton last week. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like it much, tweeting: â&#x20AC;&#x153;$20,000REALLY???!!!â&#x20AC;?

The former Nebraska star said he plans to appeal the fine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Who wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t?â&#x20AC;? Suh asked.

The reigning NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year grabbed Dalton and threw the rookie to the

turf after he had gotten rid of the ball late in the first quarter of Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preseason game. Suh was flagged for unnecessary roughness. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The league puts it on the defensive player to know when the ball is gone,â&#x20AC;? Lions coach Jim Schwartz said.

Suh was fined twice last year for hits on Chicagoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jay Cutler during the regular season and

Clevelandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jake Delhomme in a preseason game.

Suhâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s checking account can absorb the latest hit. His five-year contract is worth $40 million guaranteed and as much as $68 million, though the NFL has increased the fine each time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Twenty grand? For the preseason? Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to send a message,â&#x20AC;? teammate Nate Burleson said.

COMMENTARY

Miami should have run off Nevin Shapiro at first sight

Newton will start for Carolina on Friday

By Patrick Reusse Star Tribune (Minneapolis)

Chris Rock once said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Men are as faithful as their options.â&#x20AC;? To expand on Mr. Rockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s insight, we can add, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Young men are as reliable in following NCAA rules on extra benefits as their options.â&#x20AC;?

The football Minnesota Gophers might have won less often than preferred over the past decade, but Minnesotans can take heart in the fact our beloved rodents have never been implicated in making regular visits to yachts overrun with hookers.

Admittedly, our other prominent footballers, the Vikings, went on such a cruise a few years back, although it was a boat not a yacht, and as true professionals, the participants paid for their own working girls.

The problem that has surfaced with the Miami Hurricanes is the tab was picked up by a crazed booster and felon-to-be, Nevin Shapiro.

The yacht rides and hookers are only a portion of what has now taken the lead as the most entertaining scandal in the history of college athletics.

In Minnesota, the maroon sweaters devoted to the Gophers can go â&#x20AC;&#x153;tsk, tskâ&#x20AC;? in Miamiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s direction, and tell themselves it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen because we have young men of such character.

That could be correct, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going with Chris Rock on this one: It hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happened in Minnesota, because thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not an ocean nearby, and the yachts are few and far between, and our Ponzi schemers (such as Tom Petters) preferred to spend ill-gotten riches on items other than hookers and luxury items for college boys.

Of course, Charles Robinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exhaustive report on Yahoo! Sports has led to the usual bonanza of commentary on the hypocrisy of big-time college athletics, the hypocrisy of the NCAA, and blah, blah, blah.

This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t about hypocrisy. This is about reality.

And hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the truth: For all the effort coaches might put into trying to keep the whole truth away from their bosses and the NCAA, their players put more energy into trying to keep away even half the truth from coaches.

I set up this scenario on Wednesday for a 26-year-old male who works in the Star Tribune sports department: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game is over, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s early in the evening and a several players receive an invitation to jump into a couple of SUVs and ride to the St. Croix, where waiting will be a large party boat that has attractive ladies paid to mingle and whatnot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The question is, how old do I have to be as a fan of that team to believe the players would turn down that invitation because it would be an extra benefit in violation of NCAA rules? Do I have to be 35?â&#x20AC;?

The 26-year-old thought and said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to be older â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at least 45. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re younger than 45, you dang well know they would get in those SUVs and go to the party.â&#x20AC;?

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m much older than 45, and I know better than to believe a player would pass on a rules-breaking party for fear of being given a lecture by his head football coach.

The crime at Miami was that Shapiro was able to buy his way into favor with the administration and athletic program as well as the players.

You look at the photos that accompany the Yahoo! story, and the reaction is: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The U should have known this guy was a weasel just by looking at him.â&#x20AC;?

The â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Canes should have run him off at first sight, rather than allow him to buy such favors as leading the team onto the field â&#x20AC;&#x201D; twice.

Was it hypocrisy to let him do that? No, it was stupidity.

SPARTANBURG, S.C. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Top draft pick Cam Newton will start at quarterback for the Carolina Panthers in their second preseason game Friday.

Coach Ron Rivera said Wednesday that Jimmy Clausen, who started last week against the New York Giants, would get snaps with the first-team offense against the Miami Dolphins. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty much following the line of what we had planned throughout training camp, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to go back and forth and back and forth with our guys,â&#x20AC;? Rivera said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good opportunity.â&#x20AC;?

Rivera said the first-team offense would play about a half. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do like we did last week where Cam came in and played with the first group in the second quarter,â&#x20AC;? Rivera said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Again, we want to make sure everybody gets a chance to play and work with the guys to keep that competition going.â&#x20AC;?

Rivera said he would likely announce next week which player will start in the opener Sept. 11 against Arizona. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People do want to read into it, but just know that we have a plan and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sticking to it,â&#x20AC;? Rivera said of Newton starting this week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As we go through the process sometime next week weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a real good feel for what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to do as we go into the regular season.â&#x20AC;?

NFL

Jets sustain two injuries FLORHAM PARK, N.J. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The New York Jets confirmed that offensive lineman Robert Turner has a broken right leg that will require surgery, and running back Joe McKnight has a concussion.

Coach Rex Ryan said Wednesday that Turner will be operated on later this week to determine how long the versatile lineman will be sidelined. McKnight wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t participate in team drills while heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being evaluated.

LB Maybin joins New York FLORHAM PARK, N.J. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Aaron Maybin wasted no time getting on the field with his new team. The former Buffalo Bills first-round pick agreed to terms with the New York Jets on Wednesday morning, passed his physical a few hours later and signed a one-year deal â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all in time to practice in the afternoon.

Raiders decimated by injuries NAPA, CALIF. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Oakland Raiders will be without projected starting cornerback Chris Johnson for their preseason game against the 49ers on Saturday night and might also play without center Samson Satele.

As if that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough, wide receiver Louis Murphy will be sidelined indefinitely and likely miss the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regular-season opener after undergoing a medical procedure.

With running back Darren McFadden already out with a fractured orbital bone, the Raiders are spending more time in the trainerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s room than on the field.

Vilma remaining quiet METAIRIE, LA. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; While a published photograph shows former Miami linebacker Jonathan Vilma and imprisoned Miami booster Nevin Shapiro spending time together on what looks like a yacht, Vilma declined to go into details about their relationship or Shapiroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent claims about giving improper gifts to Hurricanes athletes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unfortunate that things are being brought up right now from a guy whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in jail,â&#x20AC;?

Vilma, now a defensive captain and linebacker with the New Orleans Saints, said after practice Wednesday night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can go back and forth with someone whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in jail and try to explain yourself. I really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to do that.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very unnecessary. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll leave it at that.â&#x20AC;?

Maclin had cancer scare PHILADELPHIA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Eagles wide receiver Jeremy Maclin, who still hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t practiced yet, has been cleared to return to the team after a cancer scare, trainer Rick Burkholder said Wednesday.

Burkholder said, barring a setback, Maclin will return to practice within 10 days and should be able to play in the Sept. 11 opener at St. Louis.

Burkholder said Maclin began experiencing symptoms â&#x20AC;&#x201D; night sweats, fever, loss of weight, loss of appetite â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in March, synonymous with lymphoma, a form of cancer. But a five-month battery of tests taken in both Philadelphia and St. Louis came back inconclusive, and not until Wednesday, was Maclin finally cleared of all serious conditions.

Maclin was tested for HIV and numerous other diseases and underwent several tests, including scans. He also consulted with a hematologist, an oncologist and an infectious disease specialist, among others.

NBA

Former referee found dead NEW ORLEANS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A former NBA referee shot and killed himself in a suburban New Orleans hotel room on the same day his wife was found strangled at their Houston-area home last week, authorities said Wednesday.

A law-enforcement official in Montgomery County, Texas, said Troy Raymond, 46, was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;person of interestâ&#x20AC;? in the death of his wife, Leslie Anderson Raymond, whose body was discovered last Thursday at their home in Spring.

Troy Raymondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body was discovered at a hotel in Jefferson Parish. The coronerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office said he shot himself in the head.

Tim Holifield, a Montgomery County constable, said that Raymond hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been named a suspect in his 41-year-old wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s killing and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s premature to connect their deaths. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At this point, to call him anything other than a person of interest post-mortem would be unfair and improper,â&#x20AC;? Holifield said.

Raymond was an NBA referee during the 2003-04 season and more recently has refereed college basketball games, including for the Sun Belt Conference.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Purdue QB remains eligible WEST LAFAYETTE, IND. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Purdue says quarterback Robert Marve remains eligible after he was mentioned in a report that says he received extra benefits while playing for Miami.

Former Miami booster Nevin Shapiro, a convicted Ponzi scheme artist now serving 20 years in federal prison, told Yahoo Sports that Marve was one of the 72 football players and other athletes he provided improper benefits between 2002 and 2010.

Purdue contacted the NCAA and concluded that there are no issues with Purdue or Marveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s status.

Nebraska CB sidelined LINCOLN, NEB. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Nebraska cornerback Alfonzo Dennard is out indefinitely with a pulled leg muscle.

Coach Bo Pelini announced Dennardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s injury after Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s practice. Pelini didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say when the injury occurred.

Dennard is the most experienced member of the Cornhuskersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; secondary. He was a firstteam All-Big 12 selection last season despite being overshadowed by New York Giants first-round draft pick Prince Amukamara.

Coker not contacted by NCAA SAN ANTONIO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A spokesman says former Miami coach Larry Coker hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been contacted by the NCAA amid allegations that players on his Hurricanes teams received cars and lavish gifts from a booster.

Coker is now coaching the Texas-San Antonio football team. UTSA spokesman Brian Hernandez said Wednesday that the NCAA hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t contacted Coker and the school may release a statement later.

MLB

Wilson has elbow checked out ATLANTA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; San Francisco closer Brian Wilson flew to Florida on Wednesday to have his ailing right elbow checked out by the same doctor who performed surgery eight years ago.

Wilson has some inflammation but no serious damage, manager Bruce Bochy said before the injury plagued Giants faced the Atlanta Braves.

The right-hander was not available for the game. He could return to the mound today. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He just felt a little tenderness,â&#x20AC;? Bochy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just being cautious. The results came out well. They showed a little inflammation in the elbow, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to give him a couple days off.â&#x20AC;?

Wilson gave up three runs in the ninth inning Monday night, a 5-4 loss to the Braves.

He headed to Pensacola, Fla., to be examined

by Dr. James Andrews, who performed Tommy John surgery on Wilson in 2003.

Wilson is 6-4 with a 3.19 ERA and 35 saves this season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He just wanted to get it checked out by the man who did it,â&#x20AC;? Bochy said.

New Leadership Lawrence scholarship remembers Fatso’s owner Gavin Smith

As I begin to pack up boxes and load the moving truck to Steamboat Springs, I have been reflecting on my three years here in Lawrence.

When I arrived in 2008, the community was just beginning to feel the effects of the national the private sector, state funding for KU was in question and commercial and industrial development was basically at a standstill.

But despite those sobering issues, Lawrence had some dynamic business development opportunities.

Bioscience industry grows Lawrence was expanding, with the Lawrence/Douglas County Bioscience Authority moving from concept to the reality of a $7.4 million incubator facility. percent occupied and has more than 60 people working in the

port from the Kansas Bioscience Authority, the City of Lawrence and Douglas County allowed Deciphera and Crititech to remain and grow in our community.

KU’s Center for Research (KUCR) recruited nationally acclaimed cancer and drug research faculty and was awarded one of the largest NIH grants in recent years, increasing its ability to potential to expand the commercialization of KU research is restricted only by the limits we put on our own vision of the future. become the bioscience center of the Great Plains never has looked more promising.

Economic diversity a must Light manufacturing is a very important component of the Lawrence economic picture with over 20 small-to-large light manufacturers collectively employing more than 5,000 people.

In 2008/09 we experienced employment sector including the closure of the Sauer Danfoss facility. Only recently have we seen signs of recovery including the approval of a $20 million Berry Plastics warehouse/distri-

community—Plastikon, which will occupy the old Serological’s facility in the East Hills Business Park. We have also seen increases in employment at Hallmark, Ammar, PROSOCO, DelMonte and Schlumberger.

Health care continues to be a positive economic force for the community. Lawrence Memorial Hospital has expanded with its medical facility in Eudora, added new cardiac and surgical groups and is in the midst of a multimillion dollar renovation to its main facility. undergone major changes in the past three years with the arrival of a new Chancellor and Provost along with new Deans in Business, Law and Music, a new Athletic Director and football coach. In the face of reduced state funding, KU remains a nationally recognized research university.

From my perspective KU is the hidden gem within our region.

Hard work, great things ahead

Lawrence, I believe that while we have made progress on a number of issues there is much still to be done for Lawrence to achieve its full potential and become an even better community than it is today.

Looking toward the future, we have begun the Kansas Research Nexus, with our economic development partners in Topeka and Manhattan. Together we will market the 85-mile I70 corridor as the bioscience/food safety/ animal health center of the Great Plains.

With additional industrial inventory, we can solicit new industry including light manufacturing, warehousing and distribution facilities to reinforce our tax base. Downtown can continue to be the economic center of the community, but it will require a focus on balancing the needs of that downtown Lawrence is a great place but it will take effort on everyone’s part to make it a better place for all.

I have enjoyed my time here in Lawrence. It is a great community with friendly hard working and engaged residents and businesses.

People are passionate about Lawrence and that is one of its greatest attributes.

I wish each and everyone one of you the very best.

Smith was an active member of the Lawrence community and owner of a small business, Fatso’s Public House and Stage.

Following his death on Sept. 28, 2010, his family and friends began to search for the best way to honor his life and his passion for Lawrence. Ultimately they decided to host the Gavin Smith Memorial Golf Invitational, to raise funds for an organization Smith cared deeply about.

“We put a lot of thought into what Invitational. We wanted it to be something that Gavin was passionate about and Gavin

“His experience in the class of 2009 inspired him to be a better small business owner and Lawrencian. After each monthly class he bounded through the front door of our home rejuvenated and excited about being a citizen of Lawrence, Kansas.”

Long-time friend and 2008 Leadership Lawrence graduate Bryan Culver remembers Smith’s excitement when he was accepted into the 2009 class. “He would often ask me about my experiences in the program and seemed very interested in applying,” Culver said. “When he was selected for the Class of 2009, he was ecstatic and as he learned more about the Lawrence community and further

Kansas LB coach sheds light on first stringers

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Although the competition will not end officially for a few more weeks, Kansas University linebackers coach Vantz Singletary on Wednesday opened up about which players were leading the race to play with the first-team linebackers this fall.

With the Jayhawks shifting to the 3-4 defense, four starting linebacker spots are up for grabs. As of Wednesday, senior Steven Johnson, juniors Toben Opurum and Tunde Bakare and sophomore Darius Willis seemed to be the leaders.

Of course, you might not have known that without

Freshmen CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

A couple of other players who always seem to come up played their high school ball in Olathe.

“Adonis (Saunders) and Victor (Simmons), they’re track athletes so they can run all day,” Biere said of the Olathe North grads. “But they were actually murdering the workouts, and they were like, ‘Hey, we can do this. We’re gonna play.’ And that’s cool to see from some freshmen, them saying, ‘I’m gonna take your spot.’ That pushes the older guys. And they’re all like that. It seems like a really good class to me.”

some kind of a decoder. See, Singletary’s the kind of coach who has nicknames for everybody, and the KU linebackers are not off-limits.

For the most part, Singletary’s monikers are simple.

For instance, he calls Bakare “T” and freshman Ben Heeney “B,” nods to their first names, and refers to Willis as “D-Willy,” a takeoff on the name he used for San Francisco 49ers linebacker Patrick Willis, “P-Willy,” whom he coached in the NFL. Although many of the names are simple, Singletary’s not afraid to mix it up and get a little creative. For instance, sophomore Huldon Tharp, who right now is battling with Johnson at the Will

linebacker spot, received a nickname for something dear to Singletary’s heart.

“I call him WWF because he reminds me of Lex Luger and all those guys, and I love wrestling,” Singletary said.

“When I have a hard time remembering his name, I just say, ‘Hey, WWF.’ He kind of reminds me of a mini (Brian) Bosworth, just his whole make-up.”

Freshman Collin Garrett, who has been playing with a cast on his right hand to protect a broken bone, has been dubbed “Old School.”

“He’s kind of like (former Pittsburgh Steelers great) Jack Lambert,” Singletary said. “He’s rugged and rough.

He’s got the cast going, the

broken hand, and he just looks old-school. He doesn’t look like a typical freshman.”

Junior-college transfer, Isaac Wright, currently behind Willis at Mike linebacker, is known as “Iceman.” And then there’s Johnson, the leader of the bunch. Singletary has been so impressed with his performance — on the field and in the film room — that he has earned two nicknames.

“Stevie Will,” asked Singletary, referencing Johnson’s first nickname. “Sometimes I call him Hammer because he’s always lowering the boom on somebody. Kids always love little nicknames that they can use to make fun of each other, and they’ve all been really receptive to it.”

So far, Opurum and Malcolm Walker have been able to avoid Singletary’s name game. Those two are slotted to play the Buck linebacker spot, which technically is part of the defensive line, so they spend their time working with D-Line coach Buddy Wyatt.

Singletary, the nephew of NFL Hall of Famer Mike Singletary, doesn’t think his new players have given him any nicknames just yet.

“No, they haven’t,” said the first-year KU coach. “They’ve been mimicking me. I gotta make sure they don’t get hold of (NFL linebackers) Patrick (Willis) and Takeo (Spikes).

They’ve got all kinds of nicknames for me.”

Another rookie who performed well all summer but really has turned it on during fall camp is linebacker Collin Garrett, of Beaumont, Texas. Defensive coordinator Vic Shealy said Garrett had amazed the coaching staff by outperforming some of the upperclassmen in numerous drills.

“Collin Garrett, he’s always just like, ‘Man, I just wanna be like you, Steven. I’m trying to play,’” Johnson said. “I hosted him as a recruit, and, even then, he was always asking me what he had to do to play.”

Throw in freshman kicker Alex Mueller, who is competing with Ron Doherty for place-kicking duties, and freshmen wideouts JaCorey Shepherd and Marquis Jackson, whom of-

fensive coordinator Chuck Long said could play right away, and you’re looking at your list of eight.

“They look so good, they’re so competitive,” Hatch said.

“They’re out there yelling and talking trash like they’ve been here. I like it, man. I wanna see it. Different guys have different opinions, but once I see guys out there talking like that, that means they have confidence in what they’re doing.”

Gill agreed.

“That’s a plus,” he said.

“That’s great to hear, and it’s even greater that the upperclassmen know that.

They believe in their ability. They’re used to winning, they’re used to being successful, and they have confidence in their ability.

They’ve backed it up, too.

Everybody can talk, but they’ve seen some of their skills. I can’t talk you into having confidence in your ability. You gotta have it innately. And I think we’ve got some guys who have that.”

There’s nothing political about Gill’s decision to play — or not play — true freshmen. It’s all about ability.

“As a head coach, you gotta decide if you want to stick with the protocol of, ‘Well, he’s an upperclassman, he’s been here for two or three years, he deserves at least a chance to play,’” Gill said.

“But if a guy’s better than another guy, I’m gonna play him. Some coaches say, ‘He’s an upperclassman, I’m gonna give him his chance.’ I’m not that way. If a guy’s better, then I think it’s worth playing him right away.”

Dixon advances in China

KU soccer optimistic

By Clark Goble Journal-World Sports Writer

In 2010, the Kansas University soccer team struggled mightily to put the ball in the back of the net.

The Jayhawks scored just five goals in 10 Big 12 Conference games and slumped to a 1-9 league record and a lackluster 6-13 overall record.

But with 11 newcomers, including two Colombian players who played in the FIFA Women’s World Cup this summer, coach Mark Francis seemed rather optimistic about his squad during Wednesday’s fall Olympic sports media day.

“It was very disappointing coming off of last season.

That’s the bad news,” Francis said. “The good news is that we have a brand-new team.”

KU starts its season against Tennessee at 5 p.m. Friday at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex. The Jayhawks lost an exhibition match to Butler, 3-2, Sunday.

One of the foundations of Francis’ optimism is the team’s depth of quality attacking players. Senior Kortney Clifton, junior Whitney Berry and sophomore Caroline Kastor scored 10 of the Jayhawks’ 17 goals last season.

Freshman midfielder Liana Salazar and freshman forward Ingrid Vidal have the experience of playing with the Colombian national team on the world’s biggest stage.

Salazar played in two matches in Germany and started against the United States. She enrolled at KU in the spring and picked up four assists and a goal in the spring season.

Francis discovered Vidal after traveling to Colombia in February to watch Salazar and her team train for the World Cup. There was a bit of a scramble to obtain visas for the players, but Francis knows that the two will see their share of minutes.

“To be that young and be able to get out in the field and play in that kind of event, it was a great experience for them,” Francis said. “I think that’s going to help us.

We’re going to be in some big games this year. I think those two guys, we expect them to be on the field.”

Clifton said playing with Vidal and Salazar is extremely fun.

“They’re very quick.

They’re very tactical-minded,” Clifton said.

Holt cut by Chargers Former KU linebacker James Holt, a member of the 2008 Orange Bowl championship team, was released

by San Diego on Wednesday, the team announced.

Holt, 6-foot-2, 223 pounds, joined the Chargers as an undrafted free agent in 2009.

He played in 12 games during his two seasons and finished with 12 tackles, most coming on special teams.

At Kansas, Holt earned second-team All-Big 12 honors and was the team’s defensive player of the year in 2008. He led the Jayhawks in tackles with 105, including 10 sacks, 19 tackles for loss and six forced fumbles.

the event finals. She will be one of eight women to compete for the gold at 7:05 tonight.

“I had a lot of fun in my race today,” said the El Paso, Texas native, following the race. “I’m mildly disappointed that I didn’t win my heat, but all that matters is that I’m moving on.”

KANSAS SOCCER SENIOR KORTNEY CLIFTON speaks with reporters Wednesday during KU fall sports media day.

Berry has noticed their excitement and focus on playing well.

“I think the attack is for sure our strong point this year,” Berry said.

The Jayhawks lost three of their four starters on defense, so Francis has focused on the defense in preseason training.

And there isn’t much time for the new defenders to learn — Francis said the team’s non-conference schedule is very tough.

“We do scheduling so far in advance that if I would’ve known we would be this young, I probably would’ve made it a little easier,” Francis said.

Two goalkeepers, junior Kat Liebetrau and red-shirt freshman Kaitlyn Stroud, are battling for the starting spot.

Wednesday morning, Francis had a 45-minute talk with his coaching staff solely about the position. Not much was decided, as Francis still doesn’t know who will start against Tennessee.

Even with so much youth dotting the field — seven newcomers started in Sunday’s match against Butler — Francis expects his team to get off to a hot start.

He knows fans enjoyed the United States’ run in the World Cup and he hopes that increased interest in women’s soccer produces some bigger home crowds.

But Francis also knows that fans don’t show up for losing teams.

“Hopefully we’ll win and get some people out there,” Francis said.

VARESE, ITALY – A balanced offense that saw six players finish with double-digit points helped Kansas University’s women’s basketball team claim an overwhelming 110-25 victory versus Selezione Lombardia Wednesday night in the small town of Varese, Italy, located between Como and Milan.

KU improved to 3-0 during its tour of Italy and will play one more contest tonight before returning to the U.S. Friday, Aug. 19.

A trio of players led the Jayhawks with 14 points each, as senior Carolyn Davis and freshmen Donielle Breaux and Bunny Williams combined for nearly half of KU’s total output. Sophomore Keena Mays and freshman Chelsea Gardner added 12 points apiece, while senior Aishah Sutherland rounded out the double-digit scoring crowd with 10 tallies.

Kansas’ speed combined with its height under the basket helped set the tone early.

A series of fast breaks led the Jayhawks to a 37-10 advantage after the first quarter.

KU continued to play solid defense in the second quarter and out-scored Lombardia, 38-9, to take a commanding 75-19 lead into the lockerroom at halftime.

Kansas hit 50 of its 71 shots from the field, mostly in the paint, for a 70.4 percent shooting percentage. Layups and fast-break points were due in part to the 28 steals made by the Jayhawks, including a team-high seven from Breaux. KU also dominated on the boards and were led by Gardner’s seven caroms. Williams and fellow freshman Asia Boyd also shined pulling down five rebounds each.

NCAA had eye on Miami for 5 months

By Steven Wine Associated Press Sports Writer

CORAL GABLES, FLA. (AP) — The NCAA said Wednesday it has been investigating the relationship between a convicted Ponzi scheme artist and the University of Miami for five months, and the allegations — if true — show the need for “serious and fundamental change” in college sports.

Former booster Nevin Shapiro, now serving 20 years in federal prison, claims he treated players with sex parties, nightclub outings, cars and other gifts. Shapiro told Yahoo Sports he provided improper benefits to 72 football players and other athletes at Miami from 2002 to 2010.

“If the assertions are true, the alleged conduct at the University of Miami is an illustration of the need for serious and fundamental change in many critical aspects of college sports,” NCAA president Mark Emmert said in a statement.

The Hurricanes’ entire football team took the practice field Wednesday, even though Shapiro’s claims involve several current players.

Coach Al Golden said it was too soon to take disciplinary action.

The Hurricanes open their season Sept. 5 against Maryland.

“Everybody is practicing,” said Golden, who is in his

Booster implicates two K-Staters MANHATTAN (AP) — A jailed University of Miami booster who claims to have provided cars, cash, prostitutes and other impermissible benefits to 72 athletes told Yahoo! Sports two current Kansas State players were among the recipients.

Nevin Shapiro, a 42-yearold Miami resident who was sentenced in June to 20 years in federal prison for masterminding a $930 million Ponzi scheme, said he took Wichita residents Bryce and Arthur Brown, their parents and a spiritual

first season as Miami’s coach.

“If it is determined somebody broke rules, then certainly they’ll be first dealt with. ...

As we get ready for Maryland, hopefully we’ll swiftly learn if errors were made. If there are guys that are going to have to sit out games, we’ll adjust our practice accordingly.”

Players weren’t permitted to speak with the media.

Last week, Emmert led a group of university presidents in drafting an outline for change in college sports, including higher academic standards, a streamlined rule book and new parameters

adviser to lunch in March 2008. Shapiro also told the website he paid for hotel rooms for them during the weekend visit.

That adviser, Brian Butler, told The Wichita Eagle that he and the Browns didn’t know Shapiro was a Miami booster. Instead, they thought Shapiro was just a fan who helped players from out of state.

“In our case, he did invite us to lunch and we did go to lunch, and he did reserve some rooms for us, for myself and Mr. Brown senior,”

for athletic scholarships. The group included Miami president Donna Shalala.

“The serious threats to the integrity of college sports are one of the key reasons why I called together more than 50 presidents and chancellors last week to drive substantive changes to Division I intercollegiate athletics,” Emmert said in his statement Wednesday.

The allegations against Miami — a program that once reveled in an outlaw image and dealt with a massive Pell Grant scandal in the 1990s — have sparked the latest in a string of NCAA investiga-

Butler told the newspaper.

“Those things, I can say that he did.”

At the time, Arthur Brown was already enrolled at Miami, where he played linebacker for two years before transferring to Kansas State.

His younger brother, Bryce, was a sophomore at Wichita East and considered one of the top high school running backs in the nation.

He committed to Miami, but ended up at Tennessee, where he played one season before also transferring to Kansas State.

tions involving some of college football’s most high-profile and successful programs.

In the past 18 months, football teams at Southern California, Ohio State, Auburn, Oregon, Michigan, North Carolina, Georgia Tech and LSU all have been investigated or sanctioned by the NCAA. NCAA investigators were on the Miami campus this week in the wake of the allegations by Shapiro, and have interviewed Shalala and athletic director Shawn Eichorst. He was sentenced to prison in June for masterminding a $930 million Ponzi

scheme, plus ordered to pay more than $82 million in restitution to investors.

Shalala said she was “upset, disheartened, and saddened by the recent allegations.”

“We will vigorously pursue the truth, wherever that path may lead, and I have insisted upon complete, honest, and transparent cooperation with the NCAA from our staff and students,” Shalala said in a statement. “Our counsel is working jointly with the NCAA enforcement division in a thorough and meticulous investigation.”

Most cases are resolved in six to seven months, but more complex investigations take longer, an NCAA official said.

Golden said he’s eager to obtain answers quickly, in part so his players don’t repeat past mistakes.

“If they were exposed to Mr. Shapiro, clearly we have to make sure we prevent that going forward,” Golden said.

“You do that by getting to the facts. How did this guy, if he did, get around our players like that? As a head coach, I want to know. I know our assistant coaches want to know. We want to make sure it never happens again. It shouldn’t happen.”

Current Miami players named by Shapiro as receiving benefits included quarterback Jacory Harris, Ray Ray Armstrong, Travis Benjamin, Sean Spence, Marcus Forston, Vaughn Telemaque,

Dyron Dye, Aldarius Johnson and Olivier Vernon. Former Hurricanes quarterback Robert Marve, now at Purdue, also was named by Shapiro, Yahoo Sports said.

Yahoo Sports published its story Tuesday afternoon, saying it spent 100 hours interviewing Shapiro over the span of 11 months and audited thousands of pages of financial and business records to examine his claims, some involving events nearly a decade ago. The NCAA’s fouryear statute of limitations doesn’t apply when there is a pattern of willful violations that continues into the past four years.

“I did it because I could,” Shapiro said of his spending. “And because nobody stepped in to stop me.”

A person familiar with the situation said much of Shapiro’s access to Hurricane programs in recent years was approved by former athletic director Kirby Hocutt, who has since left the school for Texas Tech. The person spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity because of the ongoing joint investigation between the university and the NCAA. Hocutt, the person said, allowed Shapiro on the sideline before football games at times during the 2008 season, plus invited him to select gatherings reserved for the athletic department’s biggest donors.

Gordon, Butler homer as K.C. beats Yankees 5-4

By Doug Tucker Associated Press Sports Writer

KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — It wasn’t Alex Gordon’s threerun home run that had the New York Yankees chewing their nails.

It was Billy Butler’s solo shot one out later — the one they think should have been a double.

After Gordon and Butler both went deep in Kansas City’s four-run third inning Wednesday night, the Royals survived a harrowing ninth and held on for a 5-4 victory over the AL East leaders.

Butler’s ball appeared to strike the upper railing behind left field before bouncing back onto the field. Umpires ruled it a home run but went in to look at a review after talking to New York manager Joe Girardi.

Girardi argued again briefly when they returned and confirmed the designated hitter’s 15th home run. Replays showed the ball hitting the padding below the railing and bouncing up toward the front row of fans before coming back onto the field.

When Butler met reporters after the game, he had not seen a replay.

“I guess from the angle some guy saw, they didn’t think it was good,” he said.

“But (umpires) have the final call. That’s why they make the judgment call.”

The Yankees were sure it was a double.

“We all thought it was a double,” said Girardi. “The umpires thought it was a home run. Billy Butler got his helmet on. He was prepared to go back to second. I didn’t

think it was a home run. It’s not going to come back into play like that.”

About an hour after the game, Steve Palermo, the major league supervisor of umpires, was seen talking to umpires in the outfield, pointing up toward the fence.

“I was just standing over there at the end of the dugout waiting for the review,” said Butler. “I know they were over there a long time, and it took them a long time to review on that. I was just waiting for the call either way. They reviewed ity multiple times, obviously. It was their call. I didn’t see much of it.”

The Yankees loaded the bases with one out in the ninth and made it 5-4 on Robinson Cano’s sacrifice fly.

After a passed ball, Joakim Soria reloaded the bases by walking Nick Swisher. Then

Jorge Posada, on his 40th birthday, took a called third strike to end it. The wobbly Soria got his 22nd save in 29 opportunities.

Bruce Chen (8-5) went six innings and beat the Yankees for just the second time in seven career decisions.

The Royals have lost 10 of 13 games and the veteran lefthander owns all three wins.

Curtis Granderson homered in the Yankees first, his sixth in eight games. He also doubled, singled and scored twice, raising his majors-leading total to 111 runs scored.

Coming into the night, his 33 home runs were two shy of Toronto’s Joe Bautista for the major league lead. Russell Martin hit a solo homer in the sixth for New York.

“They have a very good eye and they don’t swing at bad pitches,” said Chen. “I felt like I was trying to make good pitches every single pitch. It’s very exciting for us to play the Yankees. They’re a very good team.”

Bartolo Colon (8-7) took his first loss in five starts, lasting five innings and allowing five runs on seven hits, with two walks, four strikeouts and the two home runs. He dropped to 15-9 against Kansas City.

Struggling rookie Mike Moustakas had three hits for the Royals, including a leadoff double in the third. After Alcides Escobar singled, Gordon hammered Colon’s 3-2 pitch 418 feet over the fence for a three-run homer, raising his RBI count to a careerhigh 61.

Derek Jeter was 4-for-5 and 9-for-15 for the three-game series.

Chen went six innings and

allowed three runs on seven hits, with three walks and three strikeouts. He also gave up a solo home run in the sixth to Martin.

After hitting a home run in the first and doubling and scoring in the fourth, Granderson was stopped in his third at-bat by second baseman Johnny Giavotella’s outstanding defensive play. The rookie dived to his left to snare Granderson’s hard-hit grounder and threw to Chen covering the bag, ending the inning and possibly saving a run because Jeter was on second with a two-out double.

Melky Cabrera tripled leading off the fifth and made it 5-2 when he scored on Eric Hosmer’s infield out.

NOTES: Tampa Bay’s 4-0 victory over Boston kept New York half a game ahead in the AL East. ... The Yankees planned to bring 3B Alex Rodriguez to Minnesota today, where they will begin a four-game series with the Twins. But the three-time MVP, rehabbing knee surgery, ruled himself out for being activated today after going 1-for-2 with an RBI and two walks for Triple-A Scranton. ... The Royals have been giving outfielder Mitch Maier some groundballs at third base in case they ever need an emergency starter there. ... The Royals will start Luke Hochevar (8-9) against Josh Beckett (9-5) tonight in the first of four games against the Boston Red Sox. They split four games in Boston last month. ... CC Sabathia (16-7) gets the start for the Yankees today against Brian Duensing (8-11). He’s 7-0 in his last eight starts against the Twins.

Starling tickled to be a Royal

By Doug Tucker Associated Press Sports Writer

KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — Bubba Starling is just like everybody else who follows the Kansas City Royals — eager to see how good he can be.

“I just think I can be pretty good,” said the three-sport star who grew up in the Kansas City area and became perhaps the most celebrated prep athlete in Kansas history.

“I can’t wait to see what I can do with the great instructors over in Arizona and just playing one sport all year around,” he said in his first news conference Wednesday at Kauffman Stadium.

About 42 hours earlier, just moments before major league baseball’s deadline for signing draft picks, Starling agreed to give up a football scholarship to Nebraska and accept the Royals’ $7.5 million signing bonus, spread out over three years.

“Of course I’m going to work my tail off,” he said.

Since he was 8 years old and the fathers of other 8-year-olds feared their boys might get hurt competing against him, Starling has looked like he belonged in a higher league.

He built a tremendous reputation in high school hitting tape measure home runs, drawing rave notices in basketball and leading GardnerEdgerton to the state football playoffs while rushing for more than 2,000 yards his senior season. Nebraska promised he could also play college baseball if he would consent to strapping on the pads and grooming himself to be their quarterback.

Now the 6-5, 195-pound outfielder is headed for the Royals’ minor-league in-

structors in Arizona, finally relieved of the pressure of picking one sport.

The family did not agree to Kansas City’s offer until a few minutes before the deadline.

“It was stressful, but it was fun,” Starling said. “Just growing up, I loved baseball. It was my first love, of course. Two great options. I went up to Nebraska and got to meet everyone up there and see what that was like. I chose baseball. It’s my first love. I’m definitely glad to get it over with. I’m happy to be a Royal.”

He’s no stranger to Kauffman Stadium.

“I grew up a Royals fan. I’m 35-40 minutes away,” he said.

“Obviously, when I was a little kid growing up and going to games, and just thinking, I would love to play here.

Of course, I was drafted by them. It’s just a pretty special time.”

Asked what he would say if he were turning in a scouting report on himself, he said, “definitely athletic.”

“I can do pretty much anything you want me to on the field,” he said. “As far as

outfield, I can run down any kind of flyball. I’m going to read it real well.

“Batting, there is going to be some stuff to still work on because I played three sports in high school. You don’t get to concentrate on one sport like some other guys, Starling said.”

His agent, Scott Boras, is no stranger to last-minute negotiations. He’s done it with several recent Royals firstrounders, including first baseman Eric Hosmer and third baseman Mike Moustakas.

“Soon this relationship (with Kansas City) will end because the Royals will be drafting much lower,” Boras said.

Royals general manager Dayton Moore said earlier he was worried that Starling might opt for the Gridiron.

“What we are doing here is building a group of players that want to be part of winning a championship in Kansas City,” he said.

“Every player we sign, we expect them to have that goal in mind. Ultimately it comes down to 25 men in the clubhouse that want to win for each other and for the city.

“That’s the main reason Bubba Starling is sitting here today. He’s a winner. He’s a terrific athlete,” Moore added. “He’s going to be a terrific baseball player.”

Talk to him about those feelings, and see if you can help him understand that his parents did him an enormous favor by teaching him to be self-reliant, and that Rick will suffer in the long run. You also could remind him that, as the stepmother, his mom probably has less say over the matter than he realizes. We hope he can forgive her and move past this.

You also can serve catered food or reciprocate by treating someone at a restaurant. But please keep in mind that most people are less focused on your house and cooking than you are.

Dear Annie: My husband’s parents divorced 25 years ago, and both remarried people who had children from previous marriages. All of the siblings are self-supporting with the exception of one stepbrother, “Rick,” who is now 26. My in-laws pay for Rick’s apartment and all of his expenses because he can’t seem to hold a job and they don’t want him living with them.

My husband thinks he has the right to demand that his mother and her husband stop giving Rick money. I disagree.

How they spend their money is up to them. My husband says it isn’t really their money. It’s family money, and they should not be using his inheritance to support a lazy stepbrother.

He doesn’t understand why he’s worked so hard all these years when Rick doesn’t have to. He told me he sees no reason to maintain a relationship with his mother if he’s not going to get anything out of it. I couldn’t believe my ears. He said he didn’t mean it the way it sounded.

I told him his parents don’t owe him an inheritance and that I hoped my own parents would spend every last dime before they died. My husband and I earn a good income. I am amazed that I married such a selfish man.

I’ve never seen this side of him before, and I don’t like it at all. — Floored
