Motorcyclist killed in accident with van on Iowa St.

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

ONLINE: See the video at LJWorld.com

A man died Wednesday in a rush-hour accident that shut down one of the city’s main thoroughfares for hours.

The accident at 6:15 p.m. Wednesday involved a motorcycle and a van near Iowa Street and University Drive, said Sgt. Matt Sarna, a Lawrence police spokesman.

Sarna said according to a preliminary investigation, it appeared the motorcyclist, headed northbound, veered into the lanes of oncoming traffic and was struck by the

southbound van. Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical workers declared the motorcyclist dead at the scene, and no other injuries were reported.

“We believe that he was slowing for traffic and went into the other lane and got hit then,” Sarna said.

Iowa Street was closed in both directions between 15th Street and Stratford Road until just before 11 p.m. Wednesday as police investigated the crash. It caused major traffic headaches Wednesday evening in area neighborhoods near the Kansas University campus.

Police Wednesday night did not identify

Hurricane, summer slowdown put strain on state’s supply of blood

By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

There is a critical need for blood donations.

Representatives for the American Red Cross and the Community Blood Center, which supply Kansas hospitals, say summer typically is a slow time for donations, but that has been exasperated by Hurricane Irene.

Both agencies have sent blood to the East Coast.

“We’ve been asked throughout the country to step up our collection efforts,” said Jennifer Keller, communications manager for the American Red Cross Central Plains Region Blood Services. “Those poor people, if their house is underwater or they are without power, donating blood is the last of their worries. So, the beauty of a nationwide blood supply is that in times of need if we collect a little extra here in Kansas, we can send it to the

To make a donation, you must: ! Be at least 16 years old. ! Weigh at least 115

pounds. ! Be in good health.

Several blood drives are scheduled in Lawrence. The Community Blood Center’s are: ! Friday — 2:30 p.m.-6 p.m., Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vt. ! Sept. 7 — 9:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m., Lawrence Memorial Hospital, 325 Maine. ! Sept. 8 — 9 a.m.-11:30 East Coast if it’s needed.”

The American Red Cross supplies blood to most Kansas hospitals and northern Oklahoma. The Community Blood Center in Kansas City, Mo., supplies blood to 72 hospitals, including Lawrence Memorial Hospital.

Stann Tate, Community

Blood Center marketing director, said the center doesn’t typically export blood, but it did recently send about 60 units to areas affected by the hurricane.

“We are in a bit of a hurt right now,” he said.

He said they have less than a day’s supply of A positive

blood. They also are short on A negative and O negative.

The optimum blood inventory level is three days.

Typically, they are short because people are summer vacations. He added that about 15 percent of its blood supply comes from high school students.

The Community Blood Center must collect at least 580 pints of blood every day to meet the needs of the area.

One donation can help as many as two hospital patients.

Nationwide, about 44,000 blood donations are needed every day to meet the needs of accident victims, cancer patients and children with blood disorders. Keller said only 40 percent of the population can donate blood.

By John Milburn Associated Press

TOPEKA — Kansas Social and Rehabilitation Services Secretary Rob Siedlecki said Wednesday that an agreement has been reached to keep the agency’s office open in Pratt.

Siedlecki said that Pratt city leaders agreed to pay the state’s portion of rent for the office in south-central Kansas for the next two years. The agreement is similar to one reached with Lawrence and Douglas County to keep an office there open.

Lawsuit

but discussed the lawsuit and his foundation on Wednesday.

Gruber said he wasn’t aware of the Military Order of the Purple Heart when he founded his organization in 2009 and didn’t intend to deceive anyone with his organization’s soliciting and marketing practices.

He’s aware of the lawsuit, and he said that because his nonprofit has few financial resources he expects he’ll soon dissolve the foundation. Gruber also founded another nonprofit, Kids vs. Cancer, which is operated by another brother, Steven Gruber, in Texas.

Andrew said that he plans on transferring leadership of that organization to Steven.

The Kansas Attorney General’s Office had been contacted by the Journal-World, as the office has the authority to file a restraining order against a nonprofit if anyone involved in soliciting funds has been convicted of theft. Jeff Wagaman, spokesman for the attorney general, said his office was aware of Gruber’s case but would not make any further comments.

Spokespeople for both Walmart and Dillon’s have not returned repeated calls from the Journal-World asking whether Gruber’s foundation has been banned from soliciting in front of their stores.

Gruber said he took issue with those who believe he is operating a scam, and he said information brought to light by the Journal-World’s investigation “kind of opened my eyes.”

Gruber said he meant well in his charitable endeavors, but “didn’t have the proper skills to get it done.”

Usage of the “Purple Heart trademark to draw attention from people entering large retail stores such as Walmart and has then used the trademark to further solicit in person donations from such people.”

The lawsuit seeks a permanent injunction against the nonprofit from using the Purple Heart name and registered logos. The Military Order of the Purple Heart is being represented by the Kansas City, Mo.-based law firm Berkowitz Oliver. Attorneys involved in the lawsuit were not immediately available for comment.

Several analysts from nonprofit watchdog groups expressed concerns about the local charity and its director, Andrew Gruber, in two recent Journal-World articles.

Analysis of the foundation’s IRS documents showed that only 11 cents of every $1 donated to the group — which has been seen soliciting donations in front of a local Walmart and Dillon’s store — actually goes to support armed services veterans. In addition, Gruber spent six months in a Kansas prison after pleading guilty to stealing a rental car. Gruber had also been paying a fundraising company, run by his brother Scott Gruber, who also had several criminal convictions.

Gruber had stopped responding to Journal-World inquiries,

State economy shows improvement as revenue surpasses forecasts

By John Milburn Associated Press

TOPEKA — Kansas’ revenue collections in August exceeded official forecasts by $16.8 million, officials said Wednesday, suggesting more positive signs for the state’s economy.

The Department of Revenue released the figures showing the fifth month in a row that Kansas revenues beat expectations. Total revenue in August was $436.4 million, compared with the $419.6 million forecast for the month back in April.

Kansas revenues are running $40.2 million ahead of estimates for the first two months of the state’s fiscal year, which began July 1. When factoring in the positive collections in April through June and cuts to state spending approved by the 2011 Legislature, Kansas is projected to end the next fiscal year with close to $200 million in cash reserves.

Revenue Secretary Nick Jordan said the new figures were positive, but cautioned that “the economy is still fragile and we have a lot of work to do.”

“The healthy rise in state sales and use taxes show an increase in confidence by businesses and citizens,” Jordan said. “We are working hard to keep the recovery going by focusing on creating a pro-growth environment in Kansas to attract privatesector jobs.”

Jordan said the sales tax collections showed an improvement over previous months in which collections were flat or had minimal growth.

Republican Gov. Sam Brownback has asked Jordan to lead a task force that is looking at the state’s overall tax structure and to make recommendations for modifying the state’s tax rates.

One idea proposed by some House Republicans during the 2011 legislative session was to phase out or eliminate

entirely the state’s income tax to make the state more attractive to businesses.

However, Democrats and advocates for the arts argue that Brownback should reverse his veto of $700,000 in funding for the Kansas Arts Commission, in light of growing state revenues. The governor deleted the state funding in May, saying the money was needed elsewhere in government to fund core programs such as public safety, education and social services.

Sales tax collections exceeded the forecast by $7.1 million. Individual income taxes totaled $3.4 million more than the forecast, while corporate incomes tax payments beat the estimate by $524,000.

Monthly targets were set in April by a group of economists and are used to prepare the state budget. Overall, the economists predicted that Kansas would collect about $5.7 billion in the current fiscal year.

Students recycle 15.5 tons of cardboard in first 2 weeks of school

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

Beat this EcoKat: The number of cardboard boxes recycled by Kansas University students in the first two weeks of school weighs two tons more than the entire Jayhawk football team.

Those numbers might be enough to scare K-State’s newly launched (and lampooned) environmental crusader, EcoKat. Between Aug. 16 and Aug. 29, KU collected 31,170 pounds of cardboard, according Aileen Dingus, program coordinator for KU’s environmental stewardship program. Comparatively, earlier this summer, KU Recycling collected 16,640 pounds in 16 days.

In the words of Dingus the amount is “huge.”

This year, as students moved into dormitories, recycling technicians were on hand encouraging them to drop off their boxes, plastic wrapping and chipboard as they began to unpack. Extra bins also were put out.

“There’s lots of microwave and refrigerator boxes,” Dingus said. “Normally (recycling) is spread out over the weeks. But we wanted to get it out of the way of the residence and custodial staff right away.”

Cardboard isn’t the only material collected during and after students move in, but it is the material most likely to

“The city of Pratt came to us with a proposal and we were more than willing to work with them,” Siedlecki said. “Their proposal will help SRS to meet its costcutting objectives, as set by the Legislature, while keeping the Pratt office open.

This arrangement works for everyone.”

SRS announced this summer that it was closing offices statewide to save approximately $1 million from the agency’s budget. The Pratt office was scheduled to cease operations Friday.

SRS plans to close offices in Garnett, Lyndon and Wellington on Friday, Coffeyville on Sept. 9, Marysville and McPherson on Sept. 16 and Fort Scott on Sept. 23, absent agreements with local officials in any of the communities.

be tossed. The same is true around the world. According to CardboardRecycling.org, cardboard is the single-largest component of municipal solid waste globally.

So for Dingus, getting 15.5 tons of cardboard out of the waste stream is important.

All that cardboard is taken to KU Recycling’s warehouse, where it is baled and sold to a facility in Topeka for about $144 a ton.

“We don’t make a whole lot, so we do rely on student fees to keep the program going,” Dingus said.

According to Dingus, cardboard boxes are still be recycled at residence halls en masse with recycling technician reporting barrels “bulging with corrugate.”

State’s voluntary retirement offer extended

Suspect admits killing U.S. airmen

By Scott Rothschild

A Kosovo Albanian man confessed Wednesday to killing two U.S. airmen at the Frankfurt airport, saying in emotional testimony at the opening of his trial that he had been influenced by radical Islamic propaganda online.

Arid Uka is charged with two counts of murder for the March 2 slaying of Senior Airman Nicholas J. Alden, 25, from South Carolina, and Airman 1st Class Zachary R. Cuddeback, 21, from Virginia.

The 21-year-old Uka also faces three counts of attempted murder for wounding two more airmen and taking aim at a third before his gun jammed.

Although Germany has experienced scores of terrorist attacks in past decades, largely from leftist groups like the Red Army Faction, the airport attack was the first attributed to an Islamic extremist.

Since the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, there have been about a half-dozen other jihadist plots that were either thwarted or failed — including a 2007 plan to kill Americans at the U.S. Air Force’s Ramstein Air Base.

TOPEKA — The state has extended the deadline for an incentive program for voluntary retirement and a state employees’ union has dropped its actions against Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration over the plan, it was announced Wednesday.

Eligible employees now have until Oct. 14 to submit their offer to retire. Those whose offers are accepted will retire no later than Oct. 31.

“This extension does not jeopardize the financial ben-

efits of our goals, but gives state employees more time to review their retirement options,” said Secretary of Administration Dennis Taylor. Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration hopes to save dollars by not filling many of the positions that will be left vacant by retirements.

When the program was initially rolled out, the Brownback administration had set a sign-up deadline of Sept. 2. But the Kansas Organization of State Employees said the administration had failed to consult with it, as required by law, and had filed several administrative actions

against the plan.

The two sides met shortly after the first announcement and on Wednesday, the Brownback administration and KOSE announced the extension.

“Our membership indicated they would like the opportunity to review health plan options during open enrollment before making a decision about the voluntary retirement incentive,” said Jane Carter, executive director of KOSE. “This extension grants employees that opportunity while also allowing the state to meet its objectives,” Carter said.

KOSE dropped its objections.

Al-Qaida-linked bomber sought A member of a radical Muslim sect with “alQaida links” helped mastermind the bombing of the United Nations headquarters in Nigeria’s capital, the nation’s secret police said Wednesday, a worrying sign international terror groups may be seeking a foothold in the oil-rich country.

The State Security Service issued a statement to journalists Wednesday saying it also arrested two other men suspected of planning the attack six days before the bomb tore through the Abuja headquarters of the world body, killing 23 people and wounding 81.

The attack raised new questions about Nigeria’s ability to fight terrorism as the radical Boko Haram sect stages increasingly bloody sectarian attacks against the nation’s weak central government.

The secret police said it received information Aug. 18 that an attack in the capital would come from Boko Haram, a group that campaigns for the implementation of strict Shariah law across the country. On Aug. 21, officers arrested Babagana Ismail Kwaljima and Babagan Mali, two men the agency said had ties to Boko Haram and were planning the attack.

“The suspects have made valuable statements and are being held at a military facility,” the agency’s statement read.

The agency said a third suspect, Mamman Nur, remained at large.

Rebels close in on Gadhafi Two men claiming to be Moammar Gadhafi’s sons made conflicting appeals from hiding Wednesday night, with one of them calling for talks with rebel leaders and the other urging the regime’s loyalists to fight to the death.

The dueling messages reflected the growing turmoil in Gadhafi’s inner circle on the eve of the 42nd anniversary of his rise to power.

This year, the dictator is a fugitive from opposition fighters who have seized most of the country in a six-month civil war. Now, they say they’re hot on his trail.

The rebels are pooling tips about Moammar Gadhafi’s whereabouts from captured regime fighters and others, and believe he is most likely no longer in Tripoli, said Abdel Hakim Belhaj, the rebels’ military chief in the capital.

Rebel forces have been advancing toward three regime strongholds: the town of Sirte, Gadhafi’s hometown, as well as the towns of Bani Walid and Sabha, the latter hundreds of miles south of the capital of Tripoli.

There has been speculation that Gadhafi is hiding in one of them.

Angelou: Quote out of context Poet and author Maya Angelou is taking issue with a paraphrased quotation from Martin Luther King Jr. inscribed in his new memorial in Washington, saying the shortened version makes the civil rights leader sound like an “arrogant twit” because it’s out of context.

The words were from a sermon King delivered Feb. 4, 1968, at Atlanta’s Ebenezer Baptist Church, two months before he was assassinated, about a eulogy that could be given when he died.

King said, “Yes, if you want to say that I was a drum major, say that I was a drum major for justice.

Say that I was a drum major for peace. I was a drum major for righteousness. And all of the other shallow things will not matter.”

On Tuesday, Angelou, who consulted on the memorial, told The Washington Post that the shortened version of those words sounds egotistical and should be changed.

It reads: “I was a drum major for justice, peace and righteousness.”

The phrase is inscribed on a statue of King without quotation marks because it is paraphrased. It is not grouped with 14 quotations from King that are part of the memorial plaza.

The paraphrased version “minimizes the man,” said the 83-year-old Angelou. “It makes him seem less than the humanitarian he was. ... It makes him seem an egotist.”

COURTS Douglas County Hair found on murder Commission authorizes land victim may clear husband Children maintain their father’s innocence acquisition

By Shaun Hittle

By Joe Preiner

sdhittle@ljworld.com jpreiner@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — After years of legal battles, convicted murderer Kenneth Haddock’s chances for a new trial come down to two hairs.

Haddock, serving a life sentence, was convicted by a Johnson County jury in 1992 for murdering his wife, Barbara Haddock, at their home in Olathe.

Elizabeth Cateforis, Haddock’s attorney from the Kansas University Project for Innocence, argued in front of the Kansas Supreme Court on Wednesday that the hairs, clutched in Barbara’s hand at the crime scene, point to Haddock’s innocence.

New DNA technology found that the hairs belong to an unidentified woman, which “materially changes the evidentiary landscape of the case,” Cateforis said.

Early testing of the hairs showed that they were “consistent” with Kenneth’s hair. Forensic analyst testimony at the trial said that Kenneth Haddock was included in the 7.4 percent of the Caucasian population that could have been the contributor of the hairs.

Had the jury known back then that the hairs did not come from Kenneth Haddock, it could have made a significant impact on the jury’s decision, Cateforis said.

Douglas County’s future Public Works facility has a tentative new home.

County commissioners Wednesday voted unanimously to authorize the execution of a contract with PDO Investors for the purchase of 34 acres of land near Douglas County Jail, 3601 E. 25th St. The deal will allow the county to create a headquarters of sorts for its public works operations and will provide it with enough space to grow.

It will also give Lawrence Community Shelter the opportunity to relocate on nearby land.

The county will use state gas tax reimbursements to cover the $1.196 million price tag for the property. Two adjacent properties were also sought by the county as part of the original COUNTY COMMISSION proposal, though only one offer has been made in that regard.

Commissioners authorized an offer for a parcel of land owned by Printing Solutions in the Franklin Business Park. The acquisition of that property would get the county closer to its desired 40-acre goal for the new facilities.

The deal is set to be closed today, with county officials and the necessary property owners expected to complete the sale. There is no immediate plan to develop the property, though county leaders will be working toward planning and developing a timeline for the project.

Should the homeless shelter choose to relocate near the county jail, a move made possible by the county’s majority property ownership, its timeline would not be as lenient. The shelter has pending grant deadlines set to expire this fall.

Approximately 4,000 state employees who are currently eligible for full or early retirement would be eligible for the incentive program.

As incentives, the state has provided a lump sum payment of $6,500 or continued health insurance coverage for up to five years.

Taylor said nothing will change for those eligible employees who have already signed up for the program.

However, they can opt to move their retirement date to Oct. 31.

dock’s guilt, he said.

At trial, prosecutors presented a myriad of circumstantial evidence against Haddock that remains unchanged, Obermeier said.

Barbara Haddock’s body was found Nov. 20, 1992, by her two daughters under a pile of firewood in their Olathe garage. Investigators suspected foul play and determined Barbara was killed by several blows to the head with an object.

When Kenneth Haddock showed up to the scene, he told police he thought Barbara was killed by accident when the woodpile fell on top of her — an assertion that prosecutors say was an ineffective attempt to cover up the crime.

The prosecution’s theory at trial was that Haddock, under pressure from a pending bank fraud case, killed his wife during an argument.

Much of Wednesday’s hearing involved arguments about whether the new DNA evidence was favorable enough to Haddock’s defense to warrant a new trial.

Both sides said they don’t expect the court to hand down a decision for at least several months. One option for the court would be to order a new trial in the case.

If that happens, Obermeier said his office would “absolutely” prosecute the case again.

Haddock’s son, Steve Haddock, 36, was at Wednesday’s hearing and said he and his two sisters have always believed in their father’s innocence. Steve said it’s been a long, emotional battle for the family.

“It’s always weighing on us,” he said.

Federal prosecutor discusses Neb. governor urges Obama sexual exploitation in Kan. to deny pipeline permit

WICHITA (AP) — An assistant U.S. attorney who was the first federal prosecutor to use anti-sex-trafficking laws to prosecute sex trade customers is working to spread her techniques in Missouri and Kansas.

The Department of Justice approved a pilot program last month for enhanced enforcement task forces to combat sex trafficking from St. Louis to western Kansas. It will be headquartered in Kansas City, where federal prosecutor Cynthia Cordes is based.

Cordes discussed her efforts Tuesday at a three-day conference on crimes against children that was sponsored

by U.S. Attorney for Kansas Barry Grissom., The Wichita Eagle reported.

“It’s so hidden, people say it doesn’t happen here, but all you have to do is look, and it’s there,” Grissom said.

Cordes discussed the issue with law enforcement, prosecutors, social workers and others at the eighth annual Protect Our Children Con-

ference at the Airport Hilton. Her workshop on 2009’s “Operation Guardian Angel” was a focus for police and prosecutors during the threeday event in Wichita.

Cordes said she grew tired of watching the females involved in the sex trade being treated as criminals while customers “were getting a pass.”

The federal Trafficking Victims Protection Act, enacted in 2000, initially focused on international human trafficking. But Congress revised it in 2005 to include domestic trafficking, including the sex trafficking of children. Cordes was the first to use the act to go after customers of the domestic child sex trade.

It began in 2009 when Cordes worked with Independence, Mo., police to set up a sting, placing online classified ads for “young fun” and “little girls.”

“Within the first 24 hours, we got 500 responses,” Cordes said Tuesday.

An Independence police of-

ficer posed as the pimp, who would claim to have girls as young as 11 available for sex.

Men asked for specific ages of girls, paid the officer and went to a room with a dirty mattress on the floor. When the men stepped into the room, they were arrested. Seven men were convicted in 2009.

Cordes also has helped obtain sentences from 10 to 30 years for pimps and 10 to 15 years in federal prison for customers.

Cordes believes the females involved in commercial sex are victims, rather than prostitutes.

“I’ve never had anyone tell me they wanted to stay in that life,” Cordes said.

The cases can be legally difficult, often taking up to four years to resolve through the courts.

But Cordes said they also are among the most rewarding cases she’s prosecuted because she’s watched women go back to school, get job training and counseling and rebuild their lives.

Court says no to using land for casino KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — A federal appeals court has ruled that the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma doesn’t have the right to use a tract of land in eastern Kansas that it abandoned more than 130 years ago for a casino.

The tribe began trying to get approval to build a casino near La Cygne Lake in Miami County more than a decade ago. A tribal member had tried to donate a 35-acre tract for the proposed casino.

In 1998 and 1999, the Miami Tribe won Interior Department rulings declaring

the 35-acre tract of former tribal land eligible for casino gambling under the 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act — even though the tribe formally relinquished the land when it migrated to Oklahoma. Department officials said at the time that the land qualified for gambling after the tribe in 1996 “adopted” about 20 non-Indian owners as tribal members, leased the land back from them, and exercised tribal government control there.

But in 2002, Interior Department solicitor William G. My-

BRIEFLY Archers may apply to hunt at parks

Wakarusa museum to host two events

If you’ve ever wanted to hunt deer in Clinton Lake parks, now’s your chance.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is taking applications for its annual Special Archery Hunt, to be conducted in November and December at Bloomington and Rockhaven parks at the lake southwest of Lawrence.

While hunting normally is prohibited in park areas at the lake, corps officials rely on the annual specialty hunt to prevent overpopulation of deer.

Applications are due by Sept. 29, and hunters, selected at random, will be assigned to hunting units and allowed to choose a second hunter to join them. Each hunter must carry a special corps-issue permit and adhere to state laws.

For more information or to request an application, contact Samantha Walker, park ranger, at (816)389-3583, or email samantha.n.walker@usace. army.mil.

Wakarusa River Valley Heritage Museum is hosting two events this month.

At 7 p.m. Sept. 10, there is a fundraiser for the agency.

The event is at Bloomington East Park at Clinton Lake. Ice cream and desserts will be served, and there will be live music from Wakarusa River Valley Band featuring Clifford Downing.

At 5:30 p.m. Sept. 24, there will be a barbecue at the same location. There will be whole hog barbecue, potluck side dishes, lemonade, ice tea, potluck desserts and music from Wakarusa River Valley Band.

The suggested donation at both events is $10.

The tribe appealed and initially prevailed. But the Denver-based 10th U.S. Circuit Court wrote in a ruling issued Tuesday that the Bureau of Indian Affairs, which is part of the Interior Department, was right when it determined that the land couldn’t be donated.

The tribe is based in Miami, Okla., in the northeastern corner of the state near the Kansas border.

By Grant Schulte Associated Press

LINCOLN, NEB. — Nebraska Gov. Dave Heineman urged President Barack Obama and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Wednesday to deny a federal permit for a pipeline that would carry Canadian oil over an aquifer that supplies drinking and irrigation water to parts of several states.

Heineman said he supports pipeline projects but opposes the proposed TransCanada Keystone XL route that would cross the vast Ogallala aquifer.

In a letter to Obama and Clinton, the Republican governor said he was concerned about the potential threat to the crucial water source for Nebraska’s farmers and ranchers. The aquifer also supplies drinking water to about 2 million people in Nebraska and seven other states.

“This resource is the lifeblood of Nebraska’s agricultural economy,” Heineman said in the letter. “Cash receipts from farm markets contribute over $17 billion to Nebraska’s economy annually.

I am concerned that the proposed pipeline will have potentially detrimental effects on this valuable natural resource and Nebraska’s economy.”

Heineman said he disagrees with part of a final environmental impact statement released by the State Department last week, which said a petroleum spill in the aquifer would have no significant impact. The pipeline project is designed to carry oil from Canada across Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma on its way to refineries on Texas’ Gulf Coast.

Calgary-based TransCanada submitted its Keystone XL project in late 2008 to the State Department, which has authority over the pipeline because it crosses an international boundary.

“

We believe we’re building the safest pipeline in North America.

As we’ve tried to articulate during the threeyear review process, we’ve been very open and transparent.”

— TransCanada spokesman Terry Cunha Heineman released the letter in the midst of ongoing pipeline protests in Washington, D.C. On Tuesday, actress Daryl Hannah was arrested along with other environmental protesters who ignored orders to move away from the White House.

Environmental groups fear the pipeline could foul underground and surface water supplies, increase air pollution around refineries and harm wildlife. They have criticized what they consider inadequate pipeline safety and emergency spill responses.

Supporters say the environmental concerns are overblown, and argue that the pipeline will create jobs and reduce the nation’s dependence on Middle East oil.

TransCanada spokesman Terry Cunha said the company disagreed with the governor, but was open to any questions he might have about the route. Cunha said moving the route would disrupt even more land, including wetlands and more developed areas. He said the plan has won support from several other state executives, including Texas Gov. Rick Perry and Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer.

“We believe we’re building the safest pipeline in North America,” Cunha said.

“As we’ve tried to articulate during the three-year review process, we’ve been very open and transparent” with more than 90 public hearings

in the affected states.

The pipeline also has won support from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which launched a campaign this week to highlight the estimated 20,000 jobs the line would create during the twoyear construction period, as well as its potential national security benefits.

Pipeline critics praised Wednesday’s letter as a step forward, but said the governor still needs to call for a special legislative session or sign an executive order to address pipeline concerns.

Jane Kleeb, the executive director of the left-leaning group Bold Nebraska, said she was surprised by the announcement and hailed it as sign of growing opposition to the pipeline. But Kleeb said the governor also is trying to divert attention from the state’s power to determine the pipeline route.

“We obviously are very happy that he’s decided to side with Nebraska farmers and ranchers, rather than a foreign oil company,” Kleeb said. “But there’s an important distinction that needs to be made here. What he’s leaving out is that the route of the pipeline is up to him.”

Pipeline critics have pointed to laws in Montana and South Dakota as evidence that Nebraska has the power to control the pipe’s path. But Heineman says the state missed its chance because none of the major proposals introduced this year mustered enough support in the one-house Nebraska Legislature.

State Sen. Ken Haar has called for a special session and said he is exploring options to prompt state action, but Heineman has said it would waste money and accomplish little.

Congressional lawmakers from both parties have written to the State Department arguing for and against the pipeline, but some of the strongest opposition has come from Nebraska.

The state is appealing a decision that blocked enforcement of a new statute stripping it all of all federal funding for non-abortion services.

BRIEFLY Judge reduces bond for man A Douglas County judge has reduced bond for a 28-yearold man who was recently awarded a new trial in a 2006 Lawrence sexual battery case.

Chief District Judge Robert Fairchild on Wednesday morning set bond for Jason Ellison at $50,000 and ordered him to submit to GPS monitoring if he is COURTS freed from jail while awaiting his trial. Previously the judge set Ellison’s bond at $100,000.

In July, Fairchild granted Ellison a new trial based on evidence that several people said they heard the alleged victim say after Ellison was convicted that her allegations about him were not true. A jury in November 2006 found Ellison guilty of aggravated sexual battery and acquitted him of attempted aggravated criminal sodomy after a sister of Ellison’s former girlfriend in July 2006 accused him of attempting to molest her twice in Lawrence.

Fairchild had sentenced Ellison to serve 22 years in prison, and Ellison had served five years of the sentence before student interns at the Kansas University School of Law collected statements from the witnesses alleging the woman had lied, prompting the judge to grant a new trial.

Douglas County prosecutors said Wednesday morning they had been in contact with the victim in the case, and Fairchild scheduled the new trial for Oct. 11.

“We are pleased the State and Governor Sam Brownback have decided to comply with the Court’s order.

This is a clear victory for the health and safety of Kansas women and families,” the agency said. “The continuance of the Title X funding will enable our Wichita and Hays patients to receive services without interruption.”

Less clear is the fate of the Dodge City Family Planning Clinic, which is not a party to the lawsuit and is not affiliated with Planned Parenthood.

The Kansas City District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will start releasing 200 cubic feet per second from Perry, 1,500 cfs from Milford and 1,000 cfs from Tuttle Creek. The release should slow pool rises at the lakes and could even lower them if conditions are dry, the district said.

Official: Most Afghans Ancient humans used hand want U.S. troops to stay axes earlier than thought SCIENCE

By Anne Gearan

Associated Press

QUANTICO, VA. — Most Afghans want a binding security pact with the United States that would keep American troops in Afghanistan indefinitely, a senior adviser to Afghan President Hamid Karzai said Wednesday.

Negotiations for such a pact have lagged in part because “some in the Afghan government are trying to sabotage it,” said Taj Ayubi, minister-counselor to Karzai.

Ayubi was not specific, but was apparently referring to factions within the weak central government with ties to Iran, or to a lesser extent, Pakistan or the Taliban insurgency. Iran opposes any U.S. military presence in Afghanistan, and U.S. and other officials say Iran is trying to use its growing influence in neighboring Afghanistan to lobby against a deal that would provide the U.S. a long-term military perch.

The agreement, now in draft form, would give the U.S. use of Afghan-run or jointly-run bases after 2014, when the formal combat role is set to end. Senior U.S. officials have said its central function is to provide assurance to Afghans that the U.S. will not shut the door on Afghanistan in 2014, while establishing terms for continued U.S. counterterrorism, training and counter-narcotics operations.

U.S. officials stress that U.S. military presence will be at Afghanistan’s invitation.

Ayubi said the document would give security assurances “from 2014 until we can stand on our own.”

The agreement is not expected to include firm deadlines for the close of U.S operations.

After nearly 10 years of war,

many Afghans are weary of foreign troops and blame the flood of U.S. cash for various security and stability programs for distorting the economy and sucking up a corps of talented Afghans for contract labor. Still, Ayubi predicted broad backing for an agreement once it is in hand.

The U.S. public and Congress are increasingly frustrated by the war, with a majority in public opinion polls now saying it is probably not worth fighting.

“Most people in Afghanistan are strongly in favor of the U.S. presence in Afghanistan,” Ayubi told an audience at Marine Corps University.

“They are in favor of a longterm strategic agreement that includes basic rights for the U.S. military, despite the objections of neighbor states” he said. “Afghanistan is the most logical place for the U.S. to have a base.”

Spelling out that some level of U.S. forces intend to remain would strengthen Karzai’s hand against foreign meddling and in any eventual political negotiation with the Taliban, Ayubi suggested.

“Basing rights would bring a lot of stability and it would also convince the outside actors that the U.S. is there to stay,” he said.

Two U.S. officials said somewhere between 20,000 and 40,000 troops would probably be needed for the smaller role envisioned after 2014, but the security pact is not expected to give exact parameters.

National Security Council spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said President Barack Obama has not made any decisions about U.S. troops in Afghanistan after 2014.

“Those decisions will be made at the appropriate time, based on our interests and conditions on the ground,” she said.

LOS ANGELES — Ancient humans fashioned hand axes, cleavers and picks much earlier than believed, but didn’t take the stone tools along when they left Africa, new research suggests.

A team from the United States and France made the findings after traveling to an archaeological site along the northwest shoreline of Kenya’s Lake Turkana.

Two-faced blades and other large cutting tools had been previously excavated there along with primitive stone flakes.

Using a sophisticated technique to date the dirt, researchers calculated the age of the more advanced tools to be 1.76 million years old. That’s older than similar stone-age artifacts in Ethiopia and Tanzania estimated to be between 1.4 and 1.6 million years old.

This suggests that prehistoric humans were involved in refined tool-making that required a higher level of thinking much earlier than thought.

Unlike the simplest stone tools made from bashing rocks together, the early humans who shaped these more distinct objects planned the design and then created them.

This “required a good deal of forethought as well as dexterity to manufacture,” said paleoanthropologist Eric Delson at Lehman College in New York, who was not involved in the research.

Results of the study, led

by Christopher Lepre of Rutgers University and Columbia University’s LamontDoherty Earth Observatory, appear in today’s issue of the journal Nature.

THIS UNDATED PHOTO SHOWS ANCIENT HAND AXES unearthed at an archaeological site at Lake Turkana in Kenya. A study published in the journal Nature suggests that ancient humans were using hand axes, cleavers and picks about 1.76 million years ago, much earlier than previously believed.

The stone tools, known collectively as Acheulian tools, are believed to be the handiwork of the human ancestor Homo erectus.

The teardrop-shaped axes were “like a stone-age Leatherman or Swiss Army knife,” said New York University anthropologist Christian Tryon.

The axes were suited for butchering animals or chopping wood while the thicker picks were used for digging holes.

Homo erectus walked upright like modern humans, but possessed a flat skull, sloping forehead and a smaller brain.

It emerged about 2 million years ago in Africa.

Most researchers think Homo erectus was the first to fan out widely from Africa.

There’s archaeological evidence that the first to leave carried only a simple

toolkit. The earliest sites recovered in Asia and Europe contain pebble tools and flakes, but no sign of Acheulian technology like hand axes.

Why that is “remains an open question,” said anthropologist Sally McBrearty of the University of Connecticut, who had no role in the research.

Theories abound. Some surmise that the early humans could not find the raw materials in their new settlement and lost the technology along the way. Others suggest they later returned to Africa where they developed hand axes.

NYU’s Tryon, who was not part of the study, has a different thought.

Perhaps the early populations who expanded out of Africa didn’t need advanced technology because there was less competition.

Early humans were “behaviorally flexible” and making hand axes “was something that they did as needed and abandoned when not needed,” Tryon said.

The latest work does little to settle the issue, but scientists now have identified the earliest known site in the world containing Acheulian tools.

Geologists collected about 150 samples of sediment from the site in 2007. To come up with an age, they used a technique known as paleomagnetic dating, which takes advantage of the flip-flop of Earth’s magnetic field every several hundred thousand years.

The tools were not too far from where the bones of Turkana Boy — the most complete skeleton of a prehistoric human — were unearthed in 1984.

Half of Americans drink daily soda, sweet beverages

By Mike Stobbe Associated Press

ATLANTA — Half of Americans drink a soda or sugary beverage each day — and some are downing a lot.

One in 20 people drinks the equivalent of more than four cans of soda each day, even though health officials say sweetened beverages should be limited to less than half a can.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released the figures Wednesday in a report said to be the government’s first to offer national statistics for both adults and kids.

Sweetened drinks have been linked to the U.S. explosion in obesity and related medical problems, and health officials have been urging people to cut back for years.

Some officials have proposed an extra soda tax and many schools have stopped selling soda or artificial juices.

But advocates say those efforts are not enough, and on Wednesday a coalition of 100 organizations announced a new push.

The effort includes the American Heart Association and the some city health departments who plan to prod companies to stop the sale of sugary drinks on their property or providing them at business meetings — as Boston’s Carney Hospital did in April.

There will also be new media campaigns, like one starting soon in Los Angeles that will ask “If you wouldn’t eat 22 packs of sugar, why are you drinking it?”

Obama jobs plan speech Sept. 8

Security intensifies as Sept. 11 date nears

By Eileen Sullivan Associated Press

By Jim Kuhnhenn Associated Press

WASHINGTON — In a retreat after an hours-long test of wills Wednesday, President Barack Obama agreed to deliver an address on jobs and the economy to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 8, yielding to House Speaker John Boehner, who had balked at Obama’s request for a Sept. 7 speech.

Obama’s address still gives him a grand stage to unveil his economic agenda, but it will compete with the opening game of the National Football League season — a conflict the White House wanted to avoid.

The change now will allow a planned Sept. 7 Republican presidential debate in Simi Valley, Calif., to proceed without Obama upstaging it.

Still, by seeking a rare joint session of Congress as his audience, Obama will get a nationally televised address that puts him face to face with Republican lawmakers who have bitterly opposed his agenda and who have vowed to vote down any new spending he might propose.

“It is our responsibility to find bipartisan solutions to help grow our economy, and if we are willing to put country before party, I am confident we can do just that,” Obama wrote Wednesday in a letter to Boehner, R-Ohio, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. With new August unemployment numbers ready to be released Friday, Obama is under pressure to lay out his plan. In seeking a joint session of Congress to deliver it, he is turning the effort into a public relations campaign.

The timing dispute created an inauspicious start to the jobs debate and introduced tensions before Congress even returns from its annual summer recess.

It began with the White House releasing the letter at noon Wednesday from Obama to Boehner and Reid requesting they convene a joint session of Congress for his address at 8 p.m. on Sept.

7.

Usually, presidential requests to address Congress are routinely granted after consultations between the White House and lawmakers.

In this case, the White House notified Boehner’s office on the same day it released the letter requesting the session.

A White House official, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the topic, said Boehner’s office raised no objections or concerns.

But Boehner, in his formal reply, said the House would not return until the day Obama wanted to speak and that security and parliamentary issues might be an obstacle.

The House and the Senate each would have to adopt a resolution to allow a joint session for the president.

Boehner spokesman Brendan Buck said no one in Boehner’s office signed off on the date and accused the White House of ignoring established protocol of arriving at a mutually agreed date before making public announcements.

Boehner’s letter did not mention the Republican debate on Wednesday or Thursday night’s NFL game between the New Orleans Saints and the Green Bay Packers, a game certain to draw a large television audience. Bu the political gamesmanship was clear.

Tweeted GOP presidential contender Newt Gingrich: “From one Speaker to another ... nicely done John. “ In a message posted on the Twitter social network, Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said: “BarackObama request to give jobs speech the same night as GOP Presidential debate is further proof this WH is all politics all the time.”

NATIONAL GUARDSMEN DELIVER READY-TO-EAT MEALS and water Wednesday to residents of Fair Haven, Vt. Vermont Emergency Management officials say all but one of the state’s communities left isolated by flooding have been reached by ground crews.

Hurricane-swollen rivers falling

By Michael Hill and Samantha Henry Associated Press

KILLINGTON, VT. — Swollen rivers began falling Wednesday in much of the Northeast, easing the flooding that paralyzed parts of the region after Hurricane Irene and allowing emergency crews to reach all but one of the Vermont towns that had been cut off by floodwaters.

Receding water revealed more damage to homes, farms and businesses across the flood-scarred landscape.

Repair estimates indicated that the storm would almost certainly rank among the nation’s costliest natural disasters, despite packing a lighter punch than initially feared.

Of the 11 towns that had been cut off from the outside world, all except tiny Wardsboro had been reached by rescuers, and authorities were hoping to reach it shortly. National Guard helicopters continued to ferry supplies to mountain communities that had no electricity, no telephone service and limited transportation in or out.

Eight helicopters from the

Illinois National Guard were expected to arrive Wednesday with food, blankets, tarps and drinking water.

At Killington Elementary School, residents came for a free hot dog and corn-on-thecob. Jason and Angela Heaslip picked up a bag filled with peanut butter, cereal and toilet paper for their three children and three others who are visiting from Long Island.

“Right now, they’re getting little portions because we’re trying to make the food last,” said Jason Heaslip, who only has a dollar in his bank account because the storm has kept him from getting paid by the resort where he works.

Don Fielder, a house painter in Gaysville, said the White River roared through his house, tearing the first floor off the foundation and filling a bathroom tub with mud. He was upbeat as he showed a visitor the damage, but said he’s reluctant to go into town for fear he will cry when people ask about the home he built himself 16 years ago.

Other losses include a 1957 Baldwin piano and a collection of 300 Beanie Babies amassed by his daughter, who does not

live with him but has a bedroom at his house.

“I bet that’s in the river,” he said.

If Irene’s death toll stands, it would be comparable to 1999’s Hurricane Floyd, which also struck North Carolina and charged up the East Coast into New England, causing most of its 57 deaths by inland drowning. At the time, it was the deadliest U.S. hurricane in nearly 40 years but was later dwarfed by the 1,800 deaths caused by Katrina in 2005.

An estimate released immediately after Irene by the Kinetic Analysis Corp., a consulting firm that uses computer models to estimate storm losses, put the damage at $7.2 billion in eight states and Washington, D.C. That would eclipse damage from Hurricane Bob, which caused $1 billion in damage in New England in 1991 or the equivalent of about $1.7 billion today, and Hurricane Gloria, which swept through the region in 1985 and left $900 million, or the equivalent of $1.9 billion today, according to the Insurance Information Institute.

WASHINGTON — As the nation prepares for the 10-year anniversary of the 9/11 attacks — a date al-Qaida has cited as a potential opportunity to strike again — security is intensifying at airports, train stations, nuclear plants and major sporting arenas around the country.

“At this point there is no specific credible threat, but that doesn’t mean we are relaxing at all in terms of our vigilance,” said John Brennan, President Barack Obama’s homeland security and counterterrorism adviser.

“We are concerned about the lone actors that are out there, we are concerned that al-Qaida or others may try to take advantage of the 9/11 anniversary events,” Brennan told The Associated Press on Wednesday.

“We’re looking at all different angles — what might have been planned for a while, we’re still looking for indications that there might be something out there, but we are very interested in seeing whether or not there’s any indication whatsoever of a lone actor and that’s much more difficult to pick up.”

The security ramp-up around the country underscores a shift in policing focus since the attacks a decade ago. Officers and emergency responders have been trained in detecting suspicious activity that could uncover a terror plot, aware that the threat has changed in part from an organized large-scale attack using airliners as missiles to the potential for smaller, less sophisticated operations carried out by affiliated groups or individuals.

Metropolitan areas are on alert.

“Throughout the city, whether it’s the ports or the airports or venues or what-

ever, you will see an increase in awareness, an increase in resources at strategic places,” said Mark Eisenman, assistant chief over the homeland security command for the Police Department in Houston, home to the country’s largest port.

“We are certainly aware of the threats and the concerns, and we’re much more willing to share information than probably ever in the past.”

Some of the first information gleaned from Osama bin Laden’s compound after he was killed in May indicated that, as recently as February 2010, al-Qaida considered plans to attack the U.S. on the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 airliner strikes. But counterterrorism officials say they believe that planning never got beyond the initial phase and they have no recent intelligence pointing to an active plot.

On Wednesday, vendors at Los Angeles’ regional transit hub, Union Station, were being briefed by law enforcement on ways to be aware of suspicious activities over the next few weeks, said Commander Pat Jordan, chief of the transit services bureau at the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department.

There will be increased law enforcement presence on L.A. transit systems during the “threat window,” with bomb sniffing dogs, and random baggage searches, he said, adding, “You can’t be complacent.”

Transit employees in L.A., like riders around the country, are told that if they see something, they should say something. And three weeks ago, the department held an exercise with an active shooter scenario similar to the tactics terrorists used in the deadly 2008 attacks in Mumbai. In the transit environment, Jordan said, some of the greatest threats could come from gunmen and the use of explosives hidden in backpacks.

BUSINESS AT A GLANCE

Notable !"The U.S. has lost bil-

lions of dollars to waste and fraud in Iraq and Afghanistan and stands to repeat that in future wars without big changes in how the government awards and manages contracts for battlefield support and reconstruction projects, independent investigators said Wednesday.

The Wartime Contracting Commission urged Congress and the Obama administration to quickly put in place its recommendations to overhaul the contracting process and increase accountability. The commission even suggested that the joint House-Senate debt reduction committee take a close look at the proposals.

AT&T gearing up for rare antitrust fight over merger

By Michael Liedtke Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO — The Justice Department’s rejection of AT&T’s proposed purchase of T-Mobile USA will test new federal guidelines on challenging mergers and the companies’ resolve in forming the nation’s largest wireless carrier.

A courtroom battle is likely and could wring out information that the companies would prefer to keep private.

Still, AT&T Inc. has a big incentive to fight: If the deal is called off, the company has to pay a $3 billion breakup fee and surrender some of its unused spectrum for wireless communications.

AT&T is promising to fight the Justice Department’s decision. The department filed a lawsuit Wednesday to block the $39 billion deal, saying it would reduce competition and lead to price increases for customers.

If AT&T follows through on that, it could produce the biggest antitrust showdown since business software maker Oracle Corp. squared off with the federal government seven years ago. That dispute, triggered by the government’s decision to block Oracle’s proposed purchase of rival PeopleSoft Inc., exposed several well-kept corporate secrets and required Oracle CEO Larry Ellison to testify before a packed courtroom.

In the end, Oracle pulled off something few companies have done in the past 30 years: It persuaded a federal

judge that the Justice Department didn’t have grounds to block its PeopleSoft deal.

Oracle closed its $11.1 billion takeover four months after getting the favorable court ruling.

Usually, not even the most powerful companies bother to fight government regulators in an antitrust dispute.

Google Inc., for example, backed off in 2008 when the Justice Department threatened to sue to block a proposed Internet search partnership with Yahoo Inc. Microsoft Corp., the world’s largest software maker, pulled out of a deal to buy Intuit Corp. in 1995 after the Justice Department objected.

The Justice Department filed 138 antitrust cases in federal courts from 1999 to 2008 and lost just four of them, according to the latest breakdown from the agency.

One reason that the Justice Department has such a good track record is because it rarely challenges a deal unless it’s very confident it can win, said Joseph Bauer, a University of Notre Dame law professor and antitrust expert.

Knowing AT&T would probably go to court, the Justice Department may have wanted to signal that it intends to get tougher on corporate marriages between rivals in markets with few other competitors.

A union between AT&T and T-Mobile USA would leave Verizon and Sprint as the only other major cellphone carriers in the U.S.

by Scott Adams

T-Mobile, a subsidiary of German telecom company Deutsche Telekom AG, is currently the No. 4 wireless carrier, while AT&T is second. Combined, AT&T would be the largest.

In a sign of its confidence, the Justice Department decided to strike down the deal even though it could have taken about three more months to study the pros and cons. The timing stunned AT&T, which said it didn’t get any advance warning.

“It was an aggressive and impressive move by the DOJ to take the battle right at AT&T,” said Daniel Wall, a San Francisco attorney who represented Oracle in its 2004 fight to win the right to buy PeopleSoft. “It sent a statement that the DOJ intends to fight this one all the way to the finish line.”

Wall said AT&T may have a tougher time proving its case than Oracle did against the Justice Department. In the PeopleSoft deal, Wall said, antitrust enforcers seemed to be manipulating the definition of the business software market. “This time, it looks to me that they have a pretty solid market definition,” Wall said. “They don’t appear to be playing games.”

University of Iowa law professor Herbert Hovenkamp said the Justice Depart-

ment is being guided by a set of new guidelines, issued late last year, which make it clearer when mergers should be challenged on antitrust grounds.

“I don’t think they are overreaching here,” Hovenkamp said. “If there is a broader message here, it’s that the government intends to enforce these new guidelines.”

Swim season Before next year, city officials should have a plan in place to keep the city’s outdoor swimming pool open at least until Labor Day.

L

ocal individuals and families looking for recreational opportunities over the upcoming three-day Labor Day weekend will have one less option this year, thanks to the early closing of the city’s Outdoor Aquatic Center at Eighth and Kentucky streets.

For years, the Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department has reduced the hours at the pool after classes began at Kansas University and the local public schools but kept the pool open at least on weekends through Labor Day. It stretched the season for pool-goers, and the weather mostly was hot enough to make a dip in the pool inviting. This year, however, officials decided that because of the low number of swimmers and the difficulty of keeping enough lifeguards on duty after students returned to school, it made sense to close the pool earlier, on Aug. 21, a full two weeks before Labor Day. They said they had been looking at the numbers for the last several years, and decided this was the year to make the change.

As it turned out, an outbreak of cryptorsporidium bacterial infections in Johnson County swimming pools may have prompted an earlier closing for the Lawrence pool this year, but that wasn’t known when the decision was made and it hasn’t had an impact on the schedule at the city’s two indoor public pools.

It’s too late to do anything about the pool schedule this year — the pooches have had their annual plunge and the pool is drained — but before next year, parks and recreation officials should come up with a strategy to keep the outdoor pool open at least through Labor Day. Lawrence taxpayers have invested a lot of money in constructing and maintaining the Outdoor Aquatic Center and deserve to have the short pool season extended as long as reasonably possible.

Government may go better with beer DENVER — “Beer,” said Benjamin Franklin, who knew a thing or two about pleasure, “is living proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.”

If so, perhaps He wanted John Hickenlooper to be Colorado’s governor. Hickenlooper is a double rarity, the first brewer to become a governor (well, if you don’t count Sam Adams, and Thomas Jefferson, the amateur), and, in this time of political dyspepsia, he is a happy man whose constituents seem reasonably happy with him.

People may be happier here because sunlight is filtered through less — a mile less — of the atmosphere. And because, Hickenlooper says, Colorado has become “the Napa Valley of Beer” and Denver is “the Munich of the West.” He deserves some credit for this state having 142 licensed breweries.

Born near Philadelphia, Hickenlooper studied geology and came to Colorado during the 1980s energy boom. Then came the bust and he was cashiered.

Looking around for something to do, he noticed that for five years no one had opened a restaurant in downtown Denver, where the sidewalks were rolled up at dusk and rents were just $1 a square foot. He opened a brew pub — then opened others, here and around the country, in old railroad stations and other buildings that were, like him, ready for a new use.

In his pubs he placed advertisements for other restaurants nearby because he had a stake in getting people out of their homes: “Our competitors are not other

The United States is the only nation founded on a good idea — the pursuit of happiness — and, not coincidentally, it also was founded on beer.

Within two years of the founding of Jamestown in 1607, the colony wrote to London asking that a brewer be sent to Virginia. … Jefferson brewed beer at Monticello and his boon companion, James Madison, diluted his limited-government convictions enough to consider a national brewery to provide an alternative to whiskey.”

restaurants but TV sets.”

At 9 on a recent morning the governor — he is a Democrat, but immune to the progressive delusion that citizens cannot function for even a few minutes without guidance — is pulling on his socks after a morning workout. Coloradans can cope even if

their governor is not scurrying around early, acting essential to everything.

Nine-year-old Teddy steps onto the back porch and, with a verbal economy one would welcome in politicians, addresses two syllables to the governor: “iPad?” They share one. This domesticity suggests why, although Hickenlooper, 59, is in his first year as governor, you probably will never hear from him anything like Jefferson’s guff about the “splendid misery” of high office. Jefferson actually had such a fine time as president he stayed for a second term.

Hickenlooper, who says, “I was 50 times better at running a brew pub than I was as a geologist,” seems to be pretty good at running this state. This is probably because, having been in business, he appreciates the spontaneous order of a market economy, which does not need to be run by politicians.

For much of the political class, the private sector, with job creation through risk-taking, is as foreign as Mongolia. Hickenlooper says of politicians: “Everyone should spend two years running a big, popular restaurant.” Doing so, you learn about placating people: Not all customers are going to be happy, but the proverb has it right (“A soft answer turneth away wrath”) and “there is no advantage in having enemies.” Besides, in the restaurant business, even if you have a bad night, tomorrow night is another chance.

Hickenlooper has not endorsed the attempt to get a court

to overturn what voters did in limiting, with a Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights, the Legislature’s ability to raise taxes.

He says, “We are such a purple state” — Colorado is about one-third Republican, one-third Democrat and one-third unaffiliated — “we can avoid the big fights.” In spite of all the homogenizing forces of American life, from the population’s mobility to mass media, regional differences remain remarkably durable.

Colorado, he says, “has always had a great receptiveness to fresh ideas,” partly because people came here to get away from older places.

The United States is the only nation founded on a good idea — the pursuit of happiness — and, not coincidentally, it also was founded on beer. Within two years of the founding of Jamestown in 1607, the colony wrote to London asking that a brewer be sent to Virginia. The Mayflower, which was looking for a haven farther south, landed at Plymouth Rock instead because, according to William Bradford’s journals, “our victuals being much spent, especially our beer.” Jefferson brewed beer at Monticello and his boon companion, James Madison, diluted his limited-government convictions enough to consider a national brewery to provide an alternative to whiskey.

Manifest Destiny seems to have pointed toward Hickenlooper’s Colorado.

KPERS promise

Street payoff The inconvenience of summer street construction is seeming a little more worthwhile.

L

awrence motorists have begun to see the payoff from a construction-packed summer.

Sixth Street has never looked better, and a number of other major projects are at or near completion. Students moving back to Kansas University still had to contend with some annoying street construction a couple of weeks ago, but many projects have been completed in time to accommodate visitors coming to Lawrence for KU’s first home football game this Saturday.

Even though local residents have put a high priority in recent years on upgrading Lawrence streets, the summer construction season always is trying for drivers. For the most part, contractors this year have done their best to minimize the inconvenience by keeping traffic moving as well as possible on major thoroughfares and sometimes starting their work day shortly after midnight to beat the heat and get more of their work done while there was little traffic on the streets.

Some big projects still are under way, including the one on Kasold Drive and 31st Street south of Clinton Parkway, which is scheduled to be completed in November.

Weather hasn’t been a major impediment during the summer construction season, and it is hoped Mother Nature will allow that project to be finished without winter weather delays. Street construction creates some frustration for motorists, but seeing the results of this summer’s work makes the inconvenience a little easier to bear.

Violence doesn’t prove manhood The last time most of us heard the name Javaris Crittenton, it was as the other guy in a news story starring Gilbert Arenas.

The story grew from a December 2009 incident in the locker room of the NBA’s Washington Wizards in which a supposed “joke” between the two escalated until they produced guns from their lockers. Arenas got most of the attention — and blame — which is fitting. He was the team’s star, considered one of the better players in the game. Crittenton, by contrast, was a journeyman who had bounced from team to team.

After the incident, he was bounced out of the NBA proper, ending up in its Development League. Still, he might have made it back to the big time, might have played overseas, might have wound up coaching at some level.

But if Atlanta police are correct, all those might haves just went away. Crittenton, 23, was arrested at John Wayne International Airport in Orange County, Calif., on Monday. He is suspected of killing Jullian Jones, a mother of four, who was shot to death in a drive-by earlier this month as she stood outside her home with two other people. Authorities say she was not the intended target and that Crittenton was after someone he believed had stolen jewelry from him. His fall offers a tragic coda to the events of 20 months ago. Tragic, but not surprising.

The FBI’s reports that 9,775 arrests were made in 2009 for mur-

But it also suggests something we see all too often in violence-scarred urban hellscapes: young black men trying to validate their manhood on the cheap, trying to find it in the barrel of a gun.” der and non-negligent homicide.

There is a reason people under 30 like Crittenton, accounted for about two-thirds of them: Young people tend to have poor impulse control. There is a reason males, like Crittenton, accounted for about 90 percent of them; males tend to be more aggressive.

And there are multiple reasons young black men, like Crittenton, account for about half the arrests: one being that black men tend to be more hyper-vigilant about, and to guard more jealously against, perceived threats to their manhood.

You’d think having a chance at some sort of future would insulate you from those forces. You’d be mistaken. Crittenton, young, male and black, struck a danger-

ous trifecta.

His lawyers, by the way, say that when he was arrested, their client had checked in for an Atlanta-bound flight, intending to turn himself in. They say he is innocent and looks forward to clearing his name at trial.

If he does, great. If he does not, we will henceforth regard with new eyes that locker room standoff a couple years ago. We already know it suggests immaturity, already know it suggests knuckleheadedness. But it also suggests something we see all too often in violence-scarred urban hellscapes: young black men trying to validate their manhood on the cheap, trying to find it in the barrel of a gun.

A man or boy has a psychological — perhaps even biological — need to prove his capability, durability, fearlessness, toughness.

Recognizing this, it would be a worthwhile mission for families, schools, worship houses and other community institutions working toward violence reduction to formulate means that allow boys to fulfill that imperative constructively.

At the very least, teach them that a gun is not a penis. It’s a tragedy that Crittenton didn’t know that.

It’s a bigger tragedy that he’s not the only one.

To the editor: I am all for less government and the cost benefit. However, I have mixed emotions about changing the benefit from a fixed pension to a 401k plan. I will benefit soon from retiring with KPERS after 38 years with the state. Even as a young man the retirement benefit was an influential reason why I chose to work as a state employee. I took over a dollar an hour cut when I started at the state, but I felt the benefits outweighed the monetary loss. The state is still behind on pay in comparison to outside industries.

If the benefits decrease, it will be more difficult to attract and keep good workers.

I feel strongly that if the decision is made to deny KPERS membership to new state employees it needs to be denied to new legislators too! The article in the April 26 JournalWorld entitled “KPERS perk for legislators gets little discussion by legislators as they consider sweeping changes” shows clearly how the legislators use KPERS to their best advantage.

Clearly, if new state workers must forgo this benefit the new legislators must too!

Will Knox at the Bottleneck British wanderer and New York transplant Will Knox stops by the Bottleneck, 737 Mass., tonight with tour mate Ari Herstand and Instant Tradition in a showcase that will focus heavily on quality songwriting, intense, sincere performances, and simple, but effective, song structures.

Knox has been compared to fellow British troubadour Frank Turner, mostly because of their country of origin and workmanlike approach to music as whole.

But Knox’s vocals can soar higher than Turner’s, and his songs also benefit from better arrangements that manage to add some complexity without stripping the artist’s personality from the songs.

Upbeat, banjo-heavy story songs like “Bullets” will play well on the Bottleneck’s intimate stage, especially when it reaches it’s violin-driven soundtrack. Herstand’s songs are a little more poppier than Knox’s music, at times almost evoking Jason Mraz, especially on his jazzier numbers. Meanwhile, Instant Tradition is more toned down, but beautiful folk music, that benefits greatly from a talented pair of musicians who know how to pair their instruments perfectly. Tonight’s show is all ages and starts at 8 p.m.

KU takes A&M’s departure from Big 12 in stride

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

There were no TV trucks parked outside Kansas University’s Strong Hall and athletic department offices Wednesday after Texas A&M officially announced plans to flee the Big 12 Conference.

The frenzy was missing — not at all resembling the summer of 2010 after Nebraska and Colorado issued their exit plans and rumors abounded as to various other schools jumping ship.

Instead, on Wednesday KU and other Big 12 schools reacted

calmly to word that the Aggies, as had been rumored for weeks, were on their way out at the end of the school year, apparently to the SEC. “Today Texas A&M notified the Big 12 of its intention to leave the conference at the end of the 2011-12 season. The Big 12 had already started actively examining expansion opportunities and KU fully supports this effort,” KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said.

“The high level of competition in the Big 12 provides tremendous value to its member schools and excitement for fans

around the country. We’ll aggressively pursue the best interests of the University of Kansas, our student-athletes and fans, and that continues to be for the Big 12 to remain strong and competitive.”

Athletic director Sheahon Zenger and basketball coach Bill Self have said publicly for weeks now that an A&M move would not destroy the nine remaining institutions.

“We have known for some time that this was a possibility,” Zenger said. “We have nine institutions firmly committed to the Big 12 Conference. Chancel-

lor Gray-Little and I will continue working together with Commissioner (Dan) Beebe, the Big 12 Board of Directors and the other conference members as we take the necessary steps to ensure the continued strength of this conference.”

KU coach Bill Self had told the Journal-World as early as Monday it was a given the Aggies were exiting the conference.

“You know, last year I was worried. This year I think our league is fine,” he said. “Hey as long as we know the other nine teams are solid, I’m OK with

that. We may add (teams to league). We may not add. To be honest, nine is a perfect number for football and basketball for scheduling purposes because it reduces your league games to 16 in basketball and allows you to schedule four nonconference football games as opposed to three.

“I don’t mean to sound negative or whatever, but I don’t think that’s a dealbreaker at all,” he added, referring to the future nine-team Big 12 possibly breaking up. “Last year, Nebraska and

“

We have known for some time that this was a possibility. We have nine institutions firmly committed to the Big 12 Conference.

With a roster that includes more than 30 new players and seven to 10 true freshmen expected to play, Saturday’s Kansas University football season opener against McNeese State figures to give fans in the stands an early read on which newcomers they like best.

They won’t be the only ones paying close attention.

“We’re a lot like you guys in that regard,” said offensive coordinator Chuck Long of the freshmen. “We want to see how they do on game day. We obviously have a little better idea than you guys because we’ve seen ’em more, but we’re in the same boat. We’re like you; let’s find out what we have. We’ll be up there going, ‘Oh, OK, that’s pretty good.’ Or, ‘That wasn’t so good.’”

For the most part, the impact made by this year’s freshman class has come behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.

Now that game week’s here, several of KU’s upperclassmen have done their part to make sure the young guys are focused.

“I’m just telling them to stay confident and prepare like you’re a starter,” junior Toben Opurum said. “That’s something I’ve heard since I was in high school. You really don’t know when your opportunity could come.”

Opurum said the thing he remembered most about his first game at KU was Jake Sharp telling him to be ready because he was going to play. Other than that, Opurum said the upperclassmen pretty much left him alone. So far this week, he’s tried to do the same.

“We don’t want to put too much pressure on them,” Opurum said. “This being their first year and them wanting to impress in their first game is enough pressure as is. I’m sure they’ve all got guys back home in their ear so we don’t need to do that. We just want them to be prepared and be confident and know that they have the ability to play.”

Junior wide receiver Kale Pick, who also remembers his first game-day experience, said he tried to lend a helping hand.

“I kind of do it a different way,” Pick said. “I ask them if they’ve been in the film room and ask them if they’re ready for Saturday just to see how they react to that. I’m definitely excited. It’s been fun competing against them and watching them show what they can do.”

KU quarterback Jordan Webb said he followed Pick’s plan when it came to handling the freshmen this week.

“You kind of have to let ‘em know they have to go watch film, just to make sure,” Webb said. “But the thing about them Please see KU FOOTBALL, page 3B

The Minnesota Vikings selected Christian Ballard with the ninth pick of the fourth round on the final day of April. The Boston Red Sox used a seventh-round selection on June 7 on left-hander Cody Kukuk, who signed an $800,000 contract 10 weeks later.

Earlier this month, Brady Morningstar signed a contract to play professional basketball in Greece.

All three graduated from Free State High, which has had plenty to take pride in on the athletic front recently.

As at any high school, superstar talent runs in cycles. The Free State senior class is a small one, and although plenty of competitive winners are part of it, it’s not loaded with as many exceptional athletes as in some years, particularly in the sports played so skillfully by Ballard, Morningstar and Kukuk.

A look at the eight fall sports teams Free State fields:

Boys cross country Defending Class 6A state champion Jacob Morgan of Washburn Rural is back to defend his title, but that won’t discourage driven senior Kain Anderson from trying to wrest it away from him. Anderson earned a 10th-place medal last season in the state meet at Rim Rock, finishing 51 seconds behind Morgan.

“I think Kain has a chance to finish in the top five, maybe even compete for the very top spot, although the defending state champion is a fantastic runner,” Firebirds coach Steve Heffernan said. “Kain will have to improve to compete for the top spot.”

Seniors Dylan Aul, Phillip Bradshaw and Kamp Wiebe and junior Fletcher Koch also give Heffernan confidence the ‘Birds will qualify to compete in the state meet as they did last year.

Girls cross country Senior Lynn Robinson is coming off “a much better summer than she’s ever had before, and she was 14th at state last year,” Heffernan said. “I think Lynn has a good chance to be in the top five,” Heffernan said.

Free State’s coach expressed enthusiasm about a pair of sophomores, speedy distance runner Bailey Sullivan and Olivia Loney.

Heffernan also will be counting on contributions from senior Lauren Wethington and sophomores Molly McCord and Rosemary Newsome.

Football Coach Bob Lisher’s high-octane offense always seems to have a talented dual-threat trigger man, and this year is no exception. In fact, the Firebirds have two quarterbacks who will play a lot: junior Kyle McFarland and sophomore Joe Dineen. Senior running back Shawn Knighton also has the speed to make things happen.

Richard Gwin/Journal World-Photo

SOME OF THE STUDENT-ATHLETES EXPECTED TO LEAD FREE STATE during the fall season include, front row from left, Lynn Robinson and Kain Anderson, cross country; Mariah Dickson (11), volleyball; and back row, from left, Caitlyn Tilden, tennis; Madison Brumley, golf; Caylor Norris, football; and Zachary Thompson, soccer.

But compared to most years, Lisher’s roster is thin in terms of depth and in terms of bulk at the line of scrimmage. Preventing scores will be more of a problem than scoring because of the lack of big-bodied experience in the front seven.

“We’ll be rotating in some personnel groupings just to try to keep guys fresh,” Lisher said.

It’s a sound strategy for a team that must rely more on quickness than strength.

McFarland and Dineen will be on the field together on offense.

“When one’s at quarterback, the other will probably be out there at receiver,” Lisher said.

They’ll both look to complete passes to senior receiver Calloway Schmidt, a two-way starter who also plays outside linebacker.

Tye Hughes (H-back/outside linebacker), Adam Joice (tight end/linebacker), Knighton (running back/cornerback), Cody Stanclift (lineman) and McFarland (quarterback/cornerback) also play often on both sides of the ball.

Girls Golf Senior Madison Brumley is looking to add length to a game that was good enough a year ago for her to qualify for the state tournament. Other seniors on the 14-girl roster: Rachel Harkin, Elizabeth Hazlett, Nicole Humphrey, Jordan McColm and Hannah Whipple.

The Free State Invitational will take place Oct. 3 at Lawrence Country Club. If all the coaches in the area dedicate themselves to Please see FSHS, page 3B

Tongie football coach resigns after player flap

By Benton Smith basmith@tonganoxie.com

Mark Elston didn’t think his last day as Tonganoxie High football coach would come two days before the start of the season.

He deemed that necessary, though, after being suspended Tuesday from his coaching duties by school officials following events that took place between Elston and a player during Monday’s practice.

Wednesday afternoon, Elston submitted his resignation.

“I just did what was best

A&M CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

Colorado leaving put the whole league in flux because everybody else was looking.

From what I gather, other schools are solid.”

Asked by ESPN about the day’s developments, Self noted that the Longhorn Network, which so angered Texas A&M, ultimately might be a big plus in attracting new schools to the Big 12, if that’s the way the league wants to go.

“Money is driving this buggy,’’ he said. “If you’re in a situation where you want to create your own network, we are the only league that basically is allowing that. There is money to be made here.”

He noted, “People will say this will trigger this or trigger that. I don’t believe that.

Last year when Oklahoma and Texas were on the board, that was different. We were thinking where would we go? I don’t feel that at all this time. I feel like we’re in good shape.”

KU football coach Turner Gill said: “The biggest thing for me is I have all the confidence in the world in our chancellor, Bernadette GrayLittle, and our athletic director, Sheahon Zenger, to represent KU well no matter what happens in the Big 12.”

Asked if all the talk about A&M’s departure and the future of the conference had been a distraction, Gill was direct with his answer.

“No, not at all,” he said. “It doesn’t have a direct impact on getting our football team ready to play a football game.

You’ve got speculation running all over the place. I kind of hear the little mumblings

stressing pace-of-play, the tournament won’t have to stretch from sun-up to sun-down.

“We stress it all the time because it is an issue,” coach Craig Hershiser said. “As coaches around the league, we try to emphasize: Minimize practice swings, pick your line, pick your club, one practice swing, make your shot, walk quickly to your golf ball. Some days pace of play is pretty good. Some days it’s not.”

Gymnastics The two Lawrence public high schools practice together every day and work for the same coach. Both schools were on the verge of having to cancel gymnastics this season until Danielle Hayes rode to the rescue and took the job vacated by Kathy Johnson.

“I had heard about the job being open, and when I found out they were thinking about canceling it, that’s when I decided I needed to step in and help out,” Hayes said.

Hayes competed in gymnastics for Hutchinson High and was runner-up at state.

“I don’t know what cost me,” Hayes said. “It could have been a pointed toe or a wobble off the beam or something.”

Coming that close to first helps drive home the point to the coach that attention to detail is what gymnastics is all about. A para at Broken Arrow Elementary, Hayes competed as a pole vaulter at Kansas University, from which she graduated in 2010. After graduating, she worked at Lawrence Gymastic Academy.

So far, freshman Carrie Howland has stood out to

for the kids,” Elston said of stepping down. “We’ve got to move forward on this, and there’s no point dragging it out… For their sake, for my sake, for the betterment of my family and those kids, let’s move on.”

The embattled former coach did not wish to divulge details of Monday’s altercation, such as which player he was reprimanding or what he said or did during the exchange. The Mirror later confirmed that the player Elston disciplined was sophomore linebacker Jordan Boudreaux.

and stumblings about it, and that’s about it.”

A&M will officially end its Big 12 membership on June 30, 2012.

“After much thought and consideration, and pursuant to the action of the (Texas A&M University System) Board of Regents authorizing me to take action related to Texas A&M University’s athletic conference alignment, I have determined it is in the best interest of Texas A&M to make application to join another athletic conference,” President R. Bowen Loftin wrote to Big 12 Commissioner Dan Beebe in the letter dated August 31, 2011.

“We appreciate the Big 12’s willingness to engage in a dialogue to end our relationship through a mutually agreeable settlement,” Loftin added.

“We, too, desire that this process be as amicable and prompt as possible and result in a resolution of all outstanding issues, including mutual waivers by Texas A&M and the conference on behalf of all the remaining members.”

Texas said it remains committed to the Big 12.

“As we stated last summer, we are strong supporters and members of the Big 12 conference,” Texas athletic director DeLoss Dodds said. “Recent events have not altered our confidence in the league.”

Noted Beebe: “The presidents and chancellors of the nine remaining member institutions are steadfast in their commitment to the Big 12. As previously stated, the Conference will move forward aggressively exploring its membership options.”

Hayes as a talented, dedicated gymnast.

Boys soccer Second-year coach Kelly Barah expressed confidence the Firebirds can compensate for whatever they might lack in star power with superior conditioning and teamwork.

“I think we have more of a collective unit than that one special guy,” Barah said, meaning Diego Gonzalez, now at Western Illinois. “Last year people also thought we had that one special guy, but when he went down, we still ended up doing all right, so I think the collective nature of it is more important to us.”

Barah mentioned Zach Thompson and Hunter Peirce as players who have the potential to develop into prolific goal scorers and said of junior Luke Lesslie, “He’s got it in him to really challenge himself to be one of the best in the state.”

Girls tennis Talented, driven, improving all the time, a brilliant student, and just a sophomore.

In short, Alexis Czapinski is a coach’s dream.

“Alexis is fabulous,” coach Oather Strawderman said.

“She plays tennis year-round, she’s taking lessons every week, and she’s been dedicated to getting a college scholarship for a long time.”

Strawderman also speaks highly of the depth behind Czapinski. Junior Emily Sadosky returns as a singles player. Seniors Caitlyn Tilden and Guin Toalson make

What Elston did say, however, was that Boudreaux was being scolded because he had just “flat annihilated and blindsided” freshman quarterback Carl Hecht even though Hecht was wearing a green jersey, which signifies he’s not supposed to be touched.

Elston said his immediate reaction to get the situation solved was to go after Boudreaux verbally for making a hit that left Hecht lying injured on the ground.

“I’ve got to protect my players by whatever means necessary,” Elston said.

Boudreaux’s grandfather and guardian Jules Boudreaux told The Mirror he thought Elston responded in the correct manner. Jules described Jordan’s account of the situation: While removing defensive players from the pile on top of Hecht, Elston picked Jordan up — not to hurt him, but to discipline him verbally.

“There was some instruction being given to him in a loud manner, but that’s not a confrontation really,” Jules said. “It’s an emotional game for players and coaches.”

According to Jules, Elston

is they all kind of push each other and push themselves.

They kind of know what to do. But you still want to make sure and push them the right way.”

Asked if he was looking forward to watching guys like running backs Tony Pierson and Darrian Miller play Saturday, Webb did not try to hide his excitement.

“Oh yeah, definitely,” he said. “You see these guys making some pretty great plays in practice, and you want to see if that’s gonna carry over to Saturdays.”

Long, a former Heisman Trophy runner-up who’s been through more firstgame experiences as a player and coach than a lot of the newcomers combined, is a hands-off type of guy.

“I am,” Long said. “But that’s up to the individual

by Rivals.com, will welcome Kansas University’s coaches into his home Sept. 14.

At that time, he may finalize plans for an official visit.

“Coach Townsend (Kurtis, assistant) talked about Shabazz taking a visit when all the former players return in September,” Muhammad’s dad, Ron Holmes, told jayhawkslant.com. He was referring to possibly attending the Sept. 24 Legends of the Phog alumni game in Allen Fieldhouse.

He has also scheduled inhome visits with UCLA (Sept.

9), Duke (Sept. 12) and Kentucky (Sept. 13). Arizona, Texas, Texas A&M, UNLV and USC are also on his current list of prospective colleges.

“Shabazz received an offer from Kansas right after the elite camp (three years ago).

It’s about the program and the familiarity with the program and the relationship he has with the coaching staff,” J-W Staff Reports Holmes said. !

didn’t use any “vile language” or physically abuse Jordan while yelling at him. Jordan told his grandfather he was not upset about the coach’s approach.

Said Elston: “As coach and a parent, I did what I thought was correct at the time of action — at that time for that individual.”

Elston, who was beginning his 12th year in Tonganoxie, said he had warned Boudreaux before about the hits he was delivering at practices.

“I love him to death, but I’ve been on him for three

weeks now to stop it, and I reached my limit,” Elston said.

According to Elston, a person at Dollar General, across U.S. Highway 24-40 from the THS practice field, saw the incident and reported it to the school.

He described that as “getting a snapshot view” in 35 seconds of a three-week-long situation.

“What he saw, he saw. I’m not going to deny it,” Elston said.

coaches who handle them.

Eventually, they have to work it out themselves. Everybody has their own preparation and how they go through the week. As a coach, you don’t really want to mess that up.

Unless (a player is) so inconsistent that you have to adjust maybe which chewing gum to chew before the game. Stuff like that. Maybe you oughta try Juicy Fruit instead of Wrigley’s.”

far the unit has come since last season.

In addition to having several players who offensive and defensive coordinators Chuck Long and Vic Shealy dubbed “Div. I athletes,” the Cowboys are an experienced club that won’t be intimidated by playing in a Big 12 atmosphere. Last year alone the Cowboys played at Missouri and at LSU. They lost both games, but MSU coach Matt Viator said the experience was invaluable.

“We’re gonna play,” Viator said. “We’re not gonna hold anything back, and we’re gonna game-plan Kansas they way we do anybody else.”

Kansas will take the same approach. Asked after Wednesday’s practice if he would try to dumb down the game plan so as to not give anything away to future opponents, KU coach Turner Gill laughed at the thought.

“We’re gonna do what we need to do to win the football game,” Gill said.

First look at McNeese State One of the things talkedabout most this week at the KU football complex was the variety of defensive looks the Jayhawks’ first opponent would show. McNeese State, a preseason pick to win the Southland Conference and the 13th-ranked team in the FCS, figures to bring a lot of blitzes and throw a lot of zone defenses at the Jayhawks’ offense. That will provide Webb and the newlook KU offense an early test that should go a long way toward determining just how

Volleyball Bad news for the Firebirds: Meaghan Holmes has exhausted her high school eligibility and is playing for Evansville University. Good news: Her sister, Shelby Holmes, is just a junior.

“Shelby’s a stud,” coach Nancy Hopkins said of the junior outside hitter. “She’s a powerhouse. She has colleges looking at her and has for a while.”

The Firebirds might not have quite the size as in recent years, but Hopkins is bullish on her team.

“We’re going to be better defensively, I think, than we have been since the school opened,” Hopkins said. “I like our quickness.”

The coach cited three liberos/defensive specialists as key players: Senior Sam Landgrebe and juniors Kylie Dever and Logan Hassig all play a big part in the coach’s confidence in her team’s ability to stand out defensively.

Junior middle blockers Kailee Dudley and Molly Ryan don’t rank among the tallest at their position, but compensate with athleticism, Hopkins said. Sophomore outside hitter Grace Miller showed great strides during the course of last season as a freshman playing for the varsity.

Seniors Mariah Dickson, Brie Mingus and junior Katy Davis bring varsity experience, and junior Ashley Powers stood out in junior varsity play.

New mom can’t get husband to pitch in like a lost and unloved child.

But some hurts go deep and need to be addressed, not ignored. Why didn’t my mother try to fix things? Wasn’t I worth it? Did she really love me? As children grow into adults, we learn to accept our parents’ shortcomings.

I am writing to beg your readers to show their love to their children, through words as well as actions, and to heal relationships before it’s too late. Apologize for anniesmailbox@comcast.net any wrongdoing. Don’t exyourself from the mess. If Bill pect your child to be sometosses clothes or other things one he or she isn’t. Make evon the floor, kick them into ery effort to love your child’s an out-of-the-way corner and say nothing. He knows he’s a slob, and he’s rebelling. When you go back to work, see if you can set aside some money to pay for occasional cleaning assistance. If Bill doesn’t like the expense, tell him sweetly that it is obviously his choice, since he isn’t capable of pitching in.

Dear Annie: My mother died recently. Over the years, she had managed to alienate everyone, including her children. Nonetheless, I tried to be there for her in the end.

She said she loved me, yet despite my efforts to reconcile, she never apologized for some of the truly terrible things she said and did that created the rift.

Dear Annie: “Bill” and I have been married for seven years, but since our first child was born, I’ve felt like a horrible nag. I have to remind him frequently to pick up after himself and finish what he started. He leaves all the cabinet doors open and throws his clothes and other belongings all over the living room.

I know these complaints seem like little things, but it’s been a struggle for me to take care of the new baby and the house, and he compounds my problems. He doesn’t seem to be putting any effort into keeping up our home — or marriage.

I’ve told Bill how important these little things are to me, but he can’t see what the big deal is. I have tried many approaches to helping him get organized. I’ve reminded him with humor, with gentleness, with repetition and finally nagging until it gets done. He offers excuses and apologizes, but makes no effort to change.

I fear what will happen when I go back to work soon.

It is putting a strain on our relationship, and arguing is exhausting. What can I do so that I am not living in a constant state of annoyance? — Frustrated Wife Dear Wife: New mothers often become exhausted and depressed. Try to separate
