KU STUDENT REBECCA CANNON lives with her mother, Sandra Campise, at their home in Topeka to help save money. Campise joined her daughter on campus last month to audit a class her daughter is taking.

Living with parents can cut costs, but may take toll on social development

By Aaron Couch acouch@ljworld.com

As students settle into new digs across town, Kansas University student Rebecca Cannon is staying put at her mother’s home in Topeka.

“I’m not really that social of a person to begin with. So doing the whole dorm thing didn’t seem appealing to me,” Cannon said.

Cannon is part of a group

of students who are ditching the dorm room and staying home. From financial savings to connecting with family, experts say that now may be the right time for such an arrangement.

“The cost of college is rising much faster than the cost of living,” said Paris Strom, an associate professor of educational psychology at Auburn University in Alabama.

“For any number of families

who want to save money, living at home is not a bad thing at all.”

Cannon graduated from KU in May, with degrees in linguistics and speech-language and hearing, and she is taking classes this fall to beef up her transcript for graduate school. She pays no rent, but does pay for her own food and gas with money she earns caring for senior citizens in Topeka.

For years, Cannon’s friends asked her how she could stand living at home.

“I got good at defending myself,” Cannon said.

She got a smartphone app called Road Trip to track her spending on gas and would show friends how much less it was than what they were paying for rent.

BALDWIN CITY

Youths do well by doing good ————

Brothers’ recycling business benefits them, charities, environment

Special to the Journal-World

JACKSON BARTH, LEFT, and his father, Doug Barth, sort through recycling recently in their garage in Baldwin City. Jackson is the founder of 2 Kids and a Mom Recycling, which he created four years ago.

BALDWIN CITY — At just 13 years of age, Jackson Barth already knows about waking up early some mornings feeling less than enthusiastic about going to work.

Despite the early wake-up time and occasional bad weather, Jackson, founder and CEO of 2 Kids and a Mom Recycling, sacrifices his time and effort to help the environment.

“Some days it’s just cold or it’s raining and you’re just out there picking up the bags, putting them in the car, I’m like, ‘oh, I don’t want to do this any-

more,’” Jackson said. “But then the next day you’re feeling like it’s over but I can’t wait until the next time because you’ll be able to save the world even more again.”

Jackson created the business four years ago as a way to earn extra money, while also putting that work toward a cause.

“I thought it was a good idea because my mom has always had like a green thumb. She’s always wanted to help the environment and stuff,” Jackson said. “And then I thought it would be a good idea because it just seems that Baldwin probably needed a curbside recycling business, and so we took that job.”

Once every two weeks, the Barth family’s Honda Element makes three or four trips in Baldwin City, collecting anywhere from 30 to 40 large bags filled with recyclable materials to unload in the family garage.

Helping in Jackson’s business venture is his mother, Sara Barth, and his brother Jordan, 9, whom Jackson just appointed as the president of operations.

Doug Barth, director of alumni and corporate relations at Baker University, also helps out in the family business as a silent partner.

It’s Labor Day — a time to fold up the white clothing and fire up the grill one last time. But, of late, beyond the words printed on the calendar, “Labor” Day doesn’t seem to have too much to do with “labor” at all.

It’s a safe bet, for example, that many folks skimming around lakes today won’t spend too much time thanking President Grover Cleveland for the day off.

“The popularization of Labor Day as it currently stands where you stop wearing white slacks or start going to school has a lot to do with the decline of organized labor in the early 1970s,” said Kansas University history professor Jeff Moran, who teaches an introductory course on U.S. history after the Civil War. In 1894, during large railroad and steel strikes, labor unions faced the constant danger of being quashed by the government, Moran said. It was an uneasy time, to say the least. U.S. Marshals would Cleveland shoot into crowds of striking workers, Moran said.

Cleveland, hoping to stem the angry tide, instituted the federal holiday as an extra day off essentially “to throw organized labor a bone,” Moran said. It had a somewhat limited effect, Moran said, as the militancy of the labor movement continued for a few years more. But the day has stuck around.

“What’s interesting is, at this point, Labor Day has become so untethered from its origins,” he said. “People think it’s like the labors of Hercules, or something else.”

Even Kansas’ Secretary of Labor acknowledged that, for her, the holiday has become more about the changing of the seasons.

“I think what it has become is kind of the capping of a fun summer season,” said Karin Brownlee, a former Republican state senator from Olathe who was appointed as the state’s labor secretary

by Gov. Sam Brownback this year. Brownlee added that the holiday is usually followed by a realization that school’s back in session, and it’s time to get back to business as usual.

Though labor unions were heavily involved in the formation of the holiday, unions today have a sizably smaller portion of the workforce than they once did, she said.

She said she still appreciates the efforts of workers, and thinks it’s worth recognizing their efforts — she said she spent some time at a celebration that provided ice cream and cookies to state employees Friday.

Previous labor secretaries have taken the occasion of Labor Day to host a news conference to discuss issues related to the workforce. Brownlee said the state will have an economic report out this week, and she will likely discuss those issues at that time.

Restoration of iconic garden includes its founder

By Gary Demuth The Salina Journal

LUCAS — Eighty years after Samuel Perry Dinsmoor died, his body is getting a brush-up.

Beginning in 1907, Dinsmoor, a 64-year-old Civil War veteran and former schoolteacher, built a se-

ries of concrete sculptures depicting his religious and political beliefs.

By the time of his death in 1932 at age 89, Dinsmoor had created more than 200 concrete sculptures on a lot in Lucas he named the Garden of Eden. These sculptures included a limestone house, 40-foot-tall concrete

“Anything that’s 100 years old is going to sag a bit,” said Erika Nelson, a Lucas-based artist and educator. “Those of us familiar with the garden were panicking about what was flaking and falling.”

DON PRESTON FAMBROUGH Memorial services for Don Preston Fambrough, 88, Lawrence, will be held at 1 p.m. Friday at First Christian Church in Lawrence. Private inurnment will be at Pioneer Cemetery in Lawrence.

Coach Fambrough died Saturday, Sept. 3, 2011, at Lawrence Memorial Hospital.

He was born Oct. 19, 1922, in Longview, Texas, the son of Ivey and Willie Whittington Fambrough.

Coach Fambrough was the head football coach for Kansas University from 1971-1974 and then again from 1979-1982. Before that, he was an assistant coach under Coaches J.V. Sikes, Jack Mitchell and Pepper Rodgers. Of the nine bowl games KU has participated in, Coach Fambrough played or coached in five of them.

From 1974 to 1979, he worked raising athletic scholarship contributions and with special projects for the Williams Education Fund. Following his coaching career, he worked as a field representative for Senator Bob Dole.

While in high school, he played for a storied high school football program in Longview, Texas. His senior year, he was the captain of the team that went on to defeat Wichita Falls, Texas, to win the Texas State Championship in the Cotton Bowl in Dallas. He played college football at the University of Texas in 1941 and 1942 before entering military service in the U.S. Army Air Corps during World War II. In the service, he met his lifelong friend Ray Evans, who

eventually convinced Fambrough to come to KU after the war to play football.

Following his military Fambrough service, he and his wife moved to Lawrence, where he played football for KU and was a co-captain of the 1947 Orange Bowl team. As a player, he earned All-Big Six honors in 1946 and 1947 as a guard and linebacker.

He graduated from Kansas University.

He married Del Few on Oct. 4, 1941, in Austin, Texas.

She preceded him in death Nov. 17, 2001.

Survivors include a son, Bob Fambrough of Lawrence; a son and daughterin-law, Preston and Ginny Fambrough of Baldwin City; four grandchildren, Jay Fambrough, Francesca Fambrough, Veronica Shallcross and Rose Fambrough; and one great-granddaughter, Cora Shallcross.

The family will greet friends at the church following the service.

The family suggests memorials to the Lawrence Schools Foundation for the Don & Del Fambrough Scholarship Fund or to the Douglas County Visiting Nurses, Rehabilitation and Hospice Care, sent in care of the Warren-McElwain Mortuary in Lawrence, 120 W. 13th St., Lawrence, KS 66044.

Recycling

num, tin, newspaper, paper and cardboard. The recycling is collected on Thursdays during the summer and Sundays during the school year.

“I think it’s fun because more and more people are recognizing us and saying, ‘man, I could be one of those people recycling and helping the world,’” Jackson said.

“Because every single time, it may not be a lot because it’s just in Baldwin, but one single step at a time makes the world better.”

Although their customer base has more than doubled in four years, Jackson and Jordan are not freely spending the money they make from the business. Instead, each donates money on a monthly basis to a charity and also saves earnings toward their college fund. Jordan has begun donating to the National Wildlife Fund, while Jackson has given about $900 in four years to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

“We look at it as it’s a way to help our community, our environment, it helps the charities that the boys have chosen and it helps their college fund, basically,” Doug Barth said. “And all of that, it makes all this I think very well worth it.”

developing skills that would help him later in life through his handling the budgeting, payments, communication and customer service.

“I think it is real-world experience and later on if he decided to start a business, obviously it’d be a lot more in-depth than this, he has some leadership skills as far as how to handle that and has a little history with it,” Sara Barth said.

A lot has changed since the business began four years ago. The Barths can now drop off the recycled materials in Baldwin City and no longer have to take recycling to Lawrence. And Jackson now communicates with customers via email instead of over the phone.

The recycling business began with six customers, mainly in the FireTree neighborhood where the Barths also live, but now 2 Kids and a Mom Recycling has around 15 customers, with some living as far away as Vinland.

The cost for recycling pickup is $10 per month, or $15 in months with three pickup dates. The Barths collect all seven types of plastic, alumi-

Earlier this year, the property was sold to the Kohler Foundation, a philanthropic organization based in Kohler, Wis., that specializes in the preservation and restoration of folk architecture and art environments.

Since May, art conservators from Kohler and area volunteers have been working to restore the garden to its original condition.

Their goals include cleaning up mold and dirt and filling in chips, cracks and holes in each sculpture, doing structural work to stabilize the larger sculptures and mixing ground native sandstone in an attempt to restore each piece to its original color.

The restoration includes the mummified remains of Dinsmoor himself.

When Dinsmoor died, he became part of his own art attraction by having himself interred in a concrete coffin behind a glass wall, where he could be viewed by visitors touring the facility.

Ben Caguioa, an art conservator from Oxnard, Calif., who works for the Kohler Foundation, said the display case will be opened and checked for moisture buildup.

“We have to make sure moisture or anything else doesn’t get in there,” he said.

“We’ll have to be pretty careful with him because he is deteriorating, but we want to prevent any further deterioration.”

Caguioa said Dinsmoor would be pleased at the work being done to preserve his legacy.

“The Garden of Eden is a very impressive site,” he said.

“It’s much more structurally sound than a lot of concrete sculpture sites we see. It just needs a little help.”

October goal Restoration teams plan to work an average of eight hours on weekdays and halfdays on weekends until the project is completed — hopefully by early October, Caguioa said.

Despite the draining heat of summer, Caguioa said the restoration is on schedule.

“There are several options of things to work on, so we follow the shade for the most part and try to keep hydrated,” he said.

Lack of funding and restoration expertise at the local level was the primary reason the Kohler Foundation was approached to purchase the Garden of Eden, Nelson said.

“We didn’t have the money or the resources, and Kohler did,” said Nelson, who is assisting in the restoration.

The Kohler Foundation purchased the Garden of

S.P. DINSMOOR stands outside his mausoleum. When his first wife, Francis A. Journey, died in 1917, he built it and then dug her up from the local cemetery. He surrounded her coffin in cement inside the mausoleum to ensure it wouldn’t be moved. At his request, when he died in 1932, he was placed in a glass-sided coffin and put on display where he can be seen today.

Eden earlier this year for an undisclosed amount, said Terri Yoho, executive director of the Kohler Foundation.

Yoho said the foundation invests in the conservation and preservation of a site, then donates it to a nonprofit entity that agrees to maintain it.

“To work on it, we need to own it — but we don’t own it permanently,” she said.

After restoration work is finished at the Garden of Eden, it will be donated to “Friends of S.P. Dinsmoor’s Garden of Eden,” a nonprofit organization made up of Lucas community members and Kansas individuals active in the arts, including former Salina Art Center director Saralyn Reece-Hardy, now director of the Spencer Art Museum at Kansas University.

Yoho said the Garden of Eden has been a major project for the foundation, but it’s been worth the effort.

“Of all the sites we’ve worked on, the Garden of Eden is one of the top sites in the country,” she said. “It’s a natural treasure.”

Lots to do On one particular hot August day, five people were busy doing restoration work in several areas of the Garden of Eden.

Caguioa had matched up colors with ground native sandstone to do color concrete work on several sculptures.

Two Kohler Foundation conservators from Wisconsin, Nancy Luczak and Liz Lange, were busy hoeing and cutting roots out of a garden plot. Both women, who have never been to Kansas before, said they were impressed with the historic landmark.

“It’s as fantastic as we heard,” Luczak said. “The stonework is just beautiful.”

“What impressed me was not just the Garden of Eden but how much art there is in Lucas for such a small town,” Lange said.

Nelson and Matthew Farley, a sculptor from Lawrence, were shoring up the bottom of a concrete “animal cage” to prevent an eventual collapse. Farley said he volunteered for the restoration because of his admiration for Dinsmoor’s work.

“It’s concrete used to its fullest potential,” he said.

“It’s phenomenal, especially considering he started this at 64.”

Nelson said visitors already are noticing a change after just three months of restoration work.

“Even after a deep cleaning, people were amazed at the difference,” she said.

“The locals who came by stopped and said ‘Wow.’ “ Nelson said she’ll help maintain the facility once it’s officially turned over to the nonprofit organization.

“I’m busy absorbing all this restoration knowledge so the process won’t be forgotten,” she said.

What to do with a sick child?

1 | MISSISSIPPI

Lee drenches Gulf Coast Lee dumped more than a foot of rain in New Orleans and spun off tornadoes elsewhere Sunday as its center came ashore in a slow crawl north that raised fears of inland flash flooding in the Deep South and beyond.

The massive weather system spent most of the day as a tropical storm but weakened late in the evening to a tropical depression with maximum sustained winds of 35 mph. While the change reflected its diminishing wind speeds, forecasters say heavy rain and flooding remain a threat.

Areas of Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi near the coast reported scattered wind damage and flooding, but evacuations appeared to be in the hundreds rather than the thousands and New Orleans’ levees were doing their job just over six years after Hurricane Katrina swamped the city.

National Hurricane Center specialist Robbie Berg said Lee’s flash flood threat could be more severe as the rain moves from the flatter Gulf region into the rugged Appalachians.

Typhoon dumps record rain Typhoon Talas dumped record amounts of rain Sunday in western and central Japan, killing at least 20 people and stranding thousands more as it turned towns into lakes, washed away cars and triggered mudslides that obliterated houses. At least 50 people were missing, local media reported.

Evacuation orders and advisories were issued to 460,000 people in the region, which is hundreds of miles from the country’s tsunami-ravaged northeastern coast.

At least 3,600 people were stranded by flooded rivers, landslides and collapsed bridges that were hampering rescue efforts, Kyodo News agency reported.

The typhoon dumped record amounts of rain in some areas, and more was expected. By Sunday, Talas had been downgraded to a tropical storm.

Strauss-Kahn returns to France The last time he boarded a flight for Paris, Dominique Strauss-Kahn was on the verge of announcing his candidacy for president, and in some quarters his victory was considered certain.

Four months after being dragged off that plane in New York to answer accusations that he attempted to rape a hotel chambermaid, the former IMF chief arrived in Paris on Sunday to a gaggle of reporters that would be the envy of any politician on the campaign trail.

But a poll and analysts indicate that his politicking days are over. At least, for now.

Strauss-Kahn touched down Sunday just over a week after New York prosecutors dropped the charges — including attempted rape, sex abuse and unlawful imprisonment — because of concerns about the maid’s credibility. He was met with a mixed welcome. Members of his own party who are currently competing in a presidential primary have begun distancing themselves, and French voters appear to want a break from the man so famous he’s often known only by his initials DSK.

Knowing whether to take your child to the doctor for a fever, rash or insect bite isn’t always a simple decision, especially if you’re a new parent.

“It’s easy to panic and make a trip to the hospital,” said Tamika Sellars, 30, of Topeka, and a single mom. Her son, Malachi Gamble, is 2.

She’s glad she received the book, “What To Do When Your Child Gets Sick,” through the Kansas Head Start Association.

She believes the book has not only saved her from making unnecessary trips to the emergency room but also from missing work. When her son’s

temperature was high, she checked the book and realized that he had a slight fever that didn’t warrant a doctor’s appointment.

“It’s easy to read and it’s set up very simple,” she said.

The book covers 50 common childhood illnesses, injuries and health problems, such as cough, fever, diaper rash and bug bites. It is for parents of children from birth to age 10, and is written at a fifth-grade level so it’s easy to understand.

For each health issue, it answers five questions: ! What is it? ! What do I see?

nurse? ! What else should I know about it?

The book also comes with hands-on training on how to use it, which is the crucial piece, according to Mary Baskett, of Kansas Head Start.

“Many of our families don’t have very many, if any, books in the home. They certainly are not familiar with using books as a resource.”

She said that often they get health information from a friend, family or television.

Telethon hosts: Lewis retired The hosts of the 46th annual Muscular Dystrophy Association telethon said Sunday that Jerry Lewis retired from the organization and its yearly fundraiser — the charity’s first comments about the beloved icon’s departure since an announcement last month.

Lewis publicist Candi Cazau declined comment to The Associated Press when told of the statements that opened the telethon on Sunday.

Co-host Nigel Lythgoe said during his opening comments on the telethon that he didn’t realize Lewis, 85, was thinking about retirement during the show last year, when the comedian offered Lythgoe his seat as Lewis took a break and Lythgoe was coming on the air.

Entertainment journalist Jann Carl followed Lythgoe by saying Lewis retired from the telethon this year.

The MDA announced in August that the showbiz veteran would not take part in the annual telethon and was no longer the organization’s chairman — an unceremonious end to a six-decade association that forged one of the world’s most famous annual TV moments.

About 4 p.m. on a recent weekday, animal control officer Linda Durkes stops at a home in North Lawrence where earlier she’d noticed a pit bull chained up outside with little water. She’s back, to see how long the dog has been left outside.

As Durkes visits with the dog, she gets a less-than-polite welcome from the animal’s owner, who storms out of a home across the street.

“You got a problem with my (expletive) dog?” yells the owner, who has a tough-guy look, complete with shaved head and numerous tattoos.

The owner grabs the dog, slings it over Richard Gwin/Journal World-Photo his shoulder and throws it inside the home.

Members of the Central and East Lawrence Elementary School Consolidation Working Group are set to gather Wednesday evening for the first of 11 scheduled meetings to come up with a plan for closing some schools, upgrading others and otherwise compiling a long-term plan to guide the Lawrence school district’s K-5 education for years to come.

Rick Ingram, for one, hopes they can get the job done.

“I hope that whatever they do reflects a true consensus,” said Ingram, a member of the Lawrence school board, which is scheduled to receive the group’s recommendations in February. “If everybody feels good about the recommendations, then I’ll feel good about them.”

Working to achieve consensus will be more than two dozen volunteers with plenty at stake.

The 27-member group is instructed to propose a plan to consolidate the district’s 14 remaining elementary schools into a list of 11 or 12 within the next two or three years, as recommended earlier this year by another volunteer group — the Lawrence Elementary School Facility Vision Task Force — and endorsed unanimously by the school board.

The group includes members representing seven school communities — Cordley, Hillcrest, Kennedy, New York, Pinckney, Sunset Hill and Woodlawn — that either are being considered for consolidation or have been identified as being part of the process. Teachers from each school are serving as ex-officio members, to serve as advisers.

Cities, states back off bonds amid budget concerns

By David A. Lieb

A CITY WORKER REPAIRS A BROKEN WATER MAIN Aug. 26 in Kansas City, Mo. Cities like Kansas City are taking out fewer municipal bonds, making budgets tight for all but the most essential repairs.

Associated Press

JEFFERSON CITY, MO. — Uncertainty about where their next dollar is coming from has chilled the municipal bond market, meaning cities and states will be breaking ground on fewer public works projects, canceling or delaying projects worth tens of billions of dollars and providing yet another blow to economic-recovery efforts.

Through mid-August, the total value of municipal bonds issued nationwide was down about 40 percent over the same period a year ago, the largest decline in about two decades. The means fewer bonds issued for water and sewer systems, education, transportation, health care, electric utilities and general government purposes.

That leaves Kansas City, for example, without the money to prevent water from bubbling to the surface of streets and lawns because of aging water pipes that are bursting under pressure. The city can only afford to fix a fraction of the plumbing on its repair list, a problem that may only marginally improve if it is able to issue more bonds later this year.

“Obviously, I think Kansas City, Mo., has some improvements that are needed,” said Kansas City resident Erik Ankrom, but he added that taxes already seem high and he’s not sure if the water problems are worthy of plunging the city further into debt. “For the minor inconvenience it is, those funds may be better directed toward other infrastructure projects.”

Kansas Head Start during the past five years. A recent study shows these parents report: ! 39 percent fewer unnecessary doctor visits. ! 57 percent fewer emergency room visits. ! 60 percent fewer school days missed by children because of illness or injury. ! 47 percent fewer work days missed by parents because of children’s illness. ! 82 percent increased confidence in taking care of their children’s illnesses.

With such promising results, the United Methodist Health Ministry and Kansas Head Start Association are eager to get the book in more parents’ hands. Since 2007, United Methodist Health Ministry has provided $240,000 in grants for a Parent Health Literacy Project, including a $112,000, twoyear grant in January.

has calmed down, as Durkes explains the city ordinance he was violating: that dogs can be chained up for only an hour at a time and need adequate water. No ticket this time, but Durkes will return on another day to check on the dog.

To an outsider, the encounter looked pretty intense. But it’s all in a day’s work, Durkes explains.

“That’s not as bad as some of them,” says Durkes, aware that for many pet owners, the presence of an animal control officer is not good news.

“They’re just angry. They need somebody to be angry with.”

Seven days a week, Durkes and other animal control officers patrol Lawrence, enforcing city ordinances regarding domesticated animals: mostly dogs, sometimes cats, and occasionally rabbits, Durkes says.

The animal control office — a division of the Lawrence Police Department — also handles dispatch calls from area residents, often related to stray or vicious animals and dog bites. Oftentimes it’s simply a matter of education

Market analysts attribute the municipal bond drop-off to a variety of factors, including a natural slowdown after last year’s rush to issue bonds before a federal stimulus act program expired. But another reason, say local government officials, is the fact that their budgets are stretched so thin, they’re not willing — or able — to siphon scarce tax dollars toward debt repayment.

“There’s no question that this year some of the decline is simply budget problems that people have,” said John White, chief executive officer of the Public Financial Management Group, a Philadelphia-based investment advisory firm.

“There is an atmosphere now where taxpayers are asking more questions about anything that’s debt-related than they have in the past.” ! In Georgia, Gov. Nathan

HEALTH LITERACY There’s a national movement to improve health literacy because it not only improves one’s health but also reduces costs on the health system.

What is health literacy?

It is an individual’s ability to read, understand and use health care information to make decisions and follow instructions for treatment. Studies reveal that up to half of patients cannot

Deal slashed bonding to $563 million from about $1 billion in previous fiscal years, delaying a number of state university projects. ! Instead of issuing $10 million to $12 million in bonds, Concord, N.H., has trimmed its plans to between $7 million and $8 million this year, largely because taxpayers are unwilling to pay the larger debt service, said Brian LeBrun, the deputy city manager for finance. ! In Ohio, where the value of municipal bond sales is down more than 55 percent so far this year, the Elyria City School District recently decided against placing a $50 million bond issue on the November ballot after a survey showed it had a poor chance of passing. ! In Connecticut, local school districts also are cut-

understand basic health care information.

According to the American Medical Association, poor health literacy is “a stronger predictor of a person’s health than age, income, employment status, education level and race.”

Vulnerable populations include the elderly, minority populations, immigrants, low-income individuals and people who have chronic mental and/or physical conditions.

Head Start is providing books and training on how to use the books in hospitals, safety net clinics and other health organizations.

It started in the northeast Kansas region.

Since June, the book has been offered through Lawrence safety net clinics, Lawrence Memorial Hospital classes on baby care, and Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department.

Lawrence residents Hossein Jooya and Kobra Nasiri, and their 1-month-old son, Milan Jooya, were at the

health department Thursday afternoon for a checkup with WIC (Women, Infants and Children) program coordinator Jennifer Church.

During the appointment, she handed them the book and reviewed how to use it.

They were grateful to have the information at their fingertips, especially because they don’t have any immediate family nearby. They tend to “Google” things.

“It’s helpful, especially since this is our first child,” Nasiri said.

calls, officers confiscated an animal and took it to the Lawrence Humane Society shelter.

Durkes, in the large van with simple letters on the side that read “Animal Control,” shows off some of the tools of the trade. Several long poles with different contraptions sit in the seat next to her. They’re “snappy snares,” she explains, and are used to help safely catch wayward dogs. There’s also the thermometer they use to check the temperature in cars when someone calls about an animal left unattended in the heat.

It’s a fun job that keeps you on your toes, Durkes says.

During a two-hour ridealong with the JournalWorld, Durkes dealt with the unruly dog owner, checked on traps to catch some stray cats, wrote a citation because two dogs sneaked away from their owner’s backyard, and followed up on a dog bite. On occasion, the officers are the ones who are bitten.

While the officers in the big van are not always welcome, Durkes says their role is that of animal advocate.

Durkes has three dogs, one of which she met on a routine neglect call.

“I’m an animal lover,” Durkes says.

City of Lawrence animal control officers are tasked with enforcing city ordinances. Here’s a look at some of those ordinances: ! Owners cannot leave animals in vehicles for more than five minutes if the temperature is above 80 degrees or below 30 degrees. ! Animals cannot be left outside on a leash for more than one hour, and there must be at least three hours before the animal can be let outside again. ! Owners cannot have more than five dogs more than 10 weeks old on the same property. ! Dogs, cats and ferrets, older than four months, must be vaccinated. ! No domesticated animals are allowed to roam “at-large” in the city, except at designated dog parks. ! Fines for the above offenses range from $10 to $500, depending on the violation and number of offenses. Impounding fees are also imposed if an animal is taken to the Lawrence Humane Society. about city ordinances. But other times it’s for an adventurous canine sneaking out for a run — what the city refers to as an “animal at-large.”

Working two shifts throughout the day, the animal control officers keep busy, responding to calls from dispatchers.

In 2010 and 2011, the officers averaged 10 calls a day.

In about 20 percent of those

ting back on their construction and renovation projects.

“A lot of local officials are understandably concerned about putting bonding referendums in front of voters right now because there is such a widespread feeling that there needs to be budget-cutting going on,” said Democratic state Rep. Andrew Fleischmann.

Unlike the federal government, which borrows to finance its daily operations, most local governments issue bonds to pay for specific public works projects. Without additional bond revenue, many of those infrastructure projects simply don’t get done.

That means roads may remain bumpy, classrooms may remain crowded and — as Kansas City has demonstrated — old water mains may burst before they can be replaced.

Parent Health Literacy Project director, said the goal is to have these books available in places besides Head Start throughout the state by 2012.

Plans also are under way to have the first Kansas Health Literacy Summit in June in Lawrence. It would target people who are involved in health care.

“We really feel like health literacy can help us raise the level of health for Kansans and also help to control the costs of insurance and costs of health care to the state,” she said.

At Lawrence Memorial Hospital, 3 percent of its patients use the ER for nonurgent care — for treatment of such maladies as a rash, earache, or short-term upper respiratory infection — and could be seen elsewhere.

Another 33 percent fall into a gray area, those people who perhaps could be seen elsewhere.

Schools

“Just about everybody every day either rides on a street or a subway car, or gets on an airplane, or sends their kids to school, or turns on the water faucet or flushes the toilet, or engages in some kind of activity that involves a bond-financed piece of infrastructure,” said Michael Decker, the managing director and co-head of municipal securities division for the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association.

And it may be a while before annual bond issuances crack the $400 billion mark as they did in each of the past two years. That bubble was aided partly by Build America Bonds, a stimulus act creation that expired at the end of 2010.

The special bonds paid taxable interest to investors — unlike the tax-free bonds municipalities usually use — but were popular with local governments because the U.S. Treasury Department subsidized their borrowing costs.

Build America Bonds accounted for $51 billion of the $204 billion of municipal bonds that had been issued in the first half of 2010, White said. Through June this year, municipal bonds totaled less than $115 billion nationwide, and their dollar value was down in every state except Utah, Maine and Alaska, according to figures from Thomson Reuters. Bond sales have picked up since then in some states, but not nearly enough to close the gap.

Although interest rates generally remain low — theoretically making it a good time for governments to take on more debt — some governmental entities with

lower credit ratings or small bond issuances have found it difficult to find willing buyers, said Chris Hoene, the research director for National League of Cities.

He said that’s partly because of the collapse of municipal bond insurers, which provided a safety net for bond buyers by guaranteeing an issuance that might have otherwise had a lower credit rating.

The problem is so serious that the National League of Cities is exploring how to create its own municipal bond insurance agency, Hoene said.

In Kansas City, the Water Services Department issued nearly $200 million in bonds in 2009 to refund previous bonds issued over the past 13 years and generate $69 million in new revenues. It also has raised customer rates by at least 10 percent in each of the past four years. Yet its $24 million annual expenditure for new water pipes still falls far short of its annual $55 million in repair needs.

In July, when heat indexes over 100 degrees caused soil to shift and consumers to use more water, the city logged 211 work orders for busted water mains — setting a 13year high mark, said water department spokeswoman Colleen Doctorian.

For some office workers, the water main breaks meant they had to trudge across streets and parking lots to find buildings with workable restrooms.

Ankrom said he was washing laundry one Sunday when city crews, without warning, shut off his water to repair a broken water main that buckled the street near his loft condominium.

Reading residents brace for post office closure READING (AP) — Residents in the tiny eastern Kansas town of Reading have spent more than three months picking up the pieces after an EF-3 tornado ripped through the community, killing one person and wiping out more than half of the city’s 101 homes, nearly all of its businesses and the post office.

Now they’re dealing with a new issue after the U.S. Postal Service indicated it might not rebuild the post office, which has been in operation since the town was founded in 1870.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reports residents received a letter from Sam Gonzales, the Topeka-based manager of post office operations, saying the Postal Service was conducting a discontinuance feasibility study to evaluate the local post office’s operations.

Charles Schlobohm, a retired mail carrier, said news of the possible closing came as a blow to residents who have worked hard to rebuild the community.

“It’s not right,” he said.

“When someone’s had a disaster, you don’t pull the floor out from under them.”

Gonzales’ letter said a public meeting to discuss the feasibility study is scheduled for 7 p.m. Tuesday at Reading Elementary School.

“No decision has been made to close the Reading

post office, but we are studying it,” said Brian Sperry, regional spokesman for the U.S. Postal Service in Denver.

He said the Postal Service has 108 days to make a final determination, once the feasibility study begins. Residents then will have 30 days to appeal the decision with the Postal Regulatory Commission.

Reading residents already are circulating a petition to prevent the post office’s closure.

Since the May 21 tornado, residents have been getting mail, buying stamps and sending letters at the Lebo post office, a 27-mile round trip from Reading.

Some residents installed mail boxes to receive their mail from a rural mail carrier, rather than drive to Lebo to get it.

Barbara Schlobohm, Charles’ wife, said equipment, furniture and other items were moved from the damaged Reading post office and stored at the Lebo facility.

“But there was no knowledge by local residents that Reading was on a closure list,” she said. “The people thought they would do what they did in Greensburg. We thought they’d bring in a portable post office until it was rebuilt.”

Reading wasn’t one of the 134 Kansas post offices on a list released in late July of about 3,700 facilities nationwide facing possible closure, Sperry said.

There were no incidents to report Sunday.

For many inside organized labor, however, the day remains a relevant one. Jake Lowen is a Lawrence resident who serves as the political director for the Wichita/ Hutchinson Labor Federation.

That organization planned a Labor Day picnic for the weekend in Wichita.

Speaking on Friday, he estimated that 500 people could attend the picnic for the organization that represents 30,000 union members in south-central Kansas.

“I’m happy to say it’s still a pretty big deal,” he said.

He said similar events were planned in Kansas City and Topeka, though he wasn’t aware of any major Labor Day events in Lawrence. Topeka has a Labor Day parade scheduled, a bit of an homage to a traditional way to celebrate the holiday, Lowen said.

Lowen said he hoped labor could organize itself into a movement, and demand job creation policies on the national stage.

“The real power of this day is the opportunity for labor to get together and reorganize themselves and come together as a community,” Lowen said.

Like Brownlee, Lowen said he hoped that people took the extra time off to spend with their families. But he added that he hoped people took a little extra time to reflect on the reasons why they got the day off in the first place.

But even with a diminished focus on labor, the day off work likely isn’t going anywhere fast.

“We’re a consumer culture now and not a labor culture,” Moran said. “We demand the day off as consumers, but labor doesn’t have a lot to do with it anymore.”

9/11 ANNIVERSARY

35,000 worldwide convicted for terror

By Martha Mendoza Associated Press

At least 35,000 people worldwide have been convicted as terrorists in the decade since the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States. But while some bombed hotels or blew up buses, others were put behind bars for waving a political sign or blogging about a protest.

In the first tally ever done of global anti-terror arrests and convictions, The Associated Press documented a surge in prosecutions under new or toughened anti-terror laws, often passed at the urging and with the funding of the West. Before 9/11, just a few hundred people were convicted of terrorism each year.

The sheer volume of convictions, along with almost 120,000 arrests, shows how a keen global awareness of terrorism has seeped into societies, and how the war against it is shifting to the courts. But it also suggests that dozens of countries are using the fight against terrorism to curb political dissent.

The AP used freedom of information queries, law enforcement data and hundreds of interviews to identify 119,044 anti-terror arrests and 35,117 convictions in 66 countries, accounting for 70 percent of the world’s population. The actual numbers undoubtedly run higher because some countries refused to provide information.

That included 2,934 arrests and 2,568 convictions in the United States, which led the war on terror — eight times more than in the decade before.

The investigation also showed: ! More than half the convictions came from two countries accused of using antiterror laws to crack down on dissent, Turkey and China.

Turkey alone accounted for a third of all convictions, with 12,897. ! The range of people in jail reflects the dozens of ways different countries define a terrorist. China has arrested more than 7,000 people under a definition that counts terrorism as one of Three Evils, along with separatism and extremism. ! The effectiveness of anti-terror prosecutions varies widely. Pakistan registered the steepest increase in terror arrests in recent years, yet terror attacks are still on the rise. But in Spain, the armed Basque separatist group ETA has not planted a fatal bomb in two years. ! Anti-terror laws can backfire. Authoritarian governments in the Middle East used anti-terror laws broadly, only to face a backlash in the Arab Spring.

“There’s been a recognition all around the world that terrorism really does pose a greater threat to society,” said John Bellinger, former legal adviser to the U.S. State Department. “Also, more authoritarian countries are using the real threat of terrorism as an excuse and a cover to crack down in ways that are abusive of human rights.” !"!"!

Since 9/11, almost every country in the world has passed or revised anti-terror laws, from tiny Tonga to giant China.

Turkey, long at odds with its Kurdish minority, tops all other countries AP could tally for anti-terror convictions and their steep rise. The

Obama campaign faces sour economic climate

LEFT: Tunisian Islamist Saber Ragoubi, 28, points out the gaps in his teeth where he said prison guards kicked his teeth out during an interview July 28 at his home in Sousse, Tunisia.

Tunisia passed anti-terror laws in 2003 and the staunchly secular regime used them to crack down on signs of piety, to protect itself and to prevent the rise of Islamic militancy.

It convicted 62 people under the laws in 2006, 308 in 2007 and 633 in 2009, according to the United Nations.

One of those convicted was Ragoubi.

Kurdistan Workers’ Party is responsible for much of the violence in the country of 75 million.

Naciye Tokova, a Kurdish mother of two, held up a sign at a protest last year that said, “Either a free leadership and free identity, or resistance and revenge until the end.”

She couldn’t read the sign, because she cannot read.

She was convicted and sentenced to seven years in prison under anti-terror laws.

“Of course, I’m not a terrorist,” said Tokova, who is free on appeal. She was defiant, replying curtly to questions after long pauses.

Turkey passed new and stricter anti-terror laws in 2006. Convictions shot up from 273 in 2005 to 6,345 in 2009, the latest year available, according to data AP got through Turkey’s right to information law.

Turkey’s prime minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, says the country is fair to its Kurds.

“We have never compromised on the balance between security and freedom,” Erdogan said.

Turkey clearly reflects the saying that one person’s terrorist is another’s freedom fighter. What makes a terrorist depends on where you are and whom you ask. In the U.S., the FBI, the CIA, the Defense Department and the State Department don’t agree on what terrorism is.

“If anything should have revealed to the world the essence of unacceptable terrorism, it was 9/11. Unfortunately, a decade later, we seem no closer to reaching agreement,” said law professor Kent Roach at the University of Toronto.

!"!"!

China considers terrorism part of a vague charge of “endangering state security,” and calls strong laws necessary to ensure safety.

The people arrested under the laws come mostly from Xinjiang, known as East Turkistan to ethnic Uighurs fighting for an independent homeland.

Two years ago, Uighur entrepreneur Dilshat Perhat warned visitors to his popular Uighur-language website not to post political comments. Even so, someone posted a call for a demonstration in the middle of the night.

Perhat deleted the comments the next day and informed the police, as required. But he was arrested anyway, convicted in a oneday trial and sentenced to five years in prison.

“They wanted to use him as an example, to threaten and show their power to the Uighur people,” said Perhat’s brother Dilmurat, a graduate student in the U.S. “Inside China, any peaceful protest by the Uighurs is labeled as an act of terrorism by the Chinese government.” !"!"!

The increase in anti-terror prosecutions worldwide reflects how much they have become a weapon, however blunt, against terrorism, but their record is spotty.

Pakistan had the steepest rise in terror arrests of any country the AP examined, with the help of billions of dollars from the U.S. Pakistan amended its terror laws in 2004. Arrests went up from 1,552 in 2006 to 12,886 in 2009, partly because of four

military operations that year.

Yet terrorism in Pakistan is still on the rise, and only Iraq beats Pakistan for deaths from terror. One reason may be a conviction rate of only 10 percent in terrorism cases, compared to 90 percent in the U.S. Like Pakistan, Spain is no stranger to terrorism, but has had some success fighting it. Spain has about 140 convictions a year, according to data from AP’s freedom of information request.

ETA, the Basque separatist group, once was responsible for killings every month. Today it is severely weakened.

“The terrorist attacks 10 years ago on the World Trade Center and the Madrid bombings helped forge a strong feeling of rejection toward ETA,” said Spanish journalist Gorka Landaburu, who is Basque and himself a victim of an ETA mail bomb in May 2001 that blew off his thumb and fingertips. “Society lost a bit of its fear.”

Under tough new antiterror laws passed after 9/11, convicted terrorists in Spain face a maximum of 40 years, 10 more than for other crimes.

“Every democratic country has to resort at one time or another to exceptional measures to defend itself,” said Roman Cotarelo, a political science professor at Spain’s Open University.

For Landaburu, the terror is still there, in his pinched brow and in the two bodyguards who follow him.

When he gestures with his hands, which he often does, there’s a stump where his thumb once was.

But he feels ETA’s days are numbered.

“Things are much calmer,” he said. “People can breathe more easily.” !"!"!

Anti-terror laws are still playing out in unexpected ways, particularly in the Middle East, long seen as the cauldron of terrorism.

After 9/11, many Middle Eastern countries quickly adopted strict anti-terror laws. Secular Tunisia used its 2003 laws to crack down on piety and protect against Islamic militancy. It convicted 62 people under the laws in 2006, 308 in 2007 and 633 in 2009, according to the U.N. Former prisoner Saber Ragoubi joined an anti-government group in 2006 because he says he wanted religious freedom. The group was trained by an Algerian group that later declared allegiance to al-Qaida.

Ragoubi says he never held or planned to hold a weapon, but he did support plans to attack the police.

When the police found him, Ragoubi was tried and sentenced to life in prison.

For years, he said, he was kicked and beaten, his hands and legs chained to an iron bar in what was called the “chicken on a spit” position.

He said he was shackled to a metal chair and electrically shocked, and told his mother and sisters would be raped in front of him if he didn’t sign a confession.

“To this day, I don’t know how I bore all that torture during that time,” said Ragoubi. He was just fitted with two new front teeth to replace the ones kicked out of his mouth by the heavy boot of a prison guard, he said.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama faces a long re-election campaign having all but given up on the economy rebounding in any meaningful way before November 2012. His own budget office predicts unemployment will stay at about 9 percent, a frightening number for any president seeking a second term.

Obama’s prospects aren’t entirely grim, however.

The GOP, heavily influenced by the tea party, may Obama nominate someone so deeply flawed or rightleaning that, Democrats hope, Obama can persuade Americans to give him a second chance rather than risk the alternative.

Democrats say the man who ran on hope and change in 2008 will have to claw his way toward a second term with a sharply negative campaign.

The strengths and weaknesses of his prospects seem clear.

Next year’s unemployment rate is likely to be the highest in a presidential election since 1940. But the leading Republican contenders have denigrated Social Security, switched positions on critical issues and done other things that might make them ripe targets for Obama’s wellfunded campaign.

Democratic strategist Doug Hattaway says GOP candidates, including Texas Gov. Rick Perry and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, may turn off independent voters with their embrace of tea party stands on taxes, spending and program cuts.

Obama “should lump them all together and make them answer for their slash-andburn politics,” said Hattaway, a former top aide to Hillary Rodham Clinton, Obama’s rival for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination.

To do so, Hattaway said, Obama must link the candidates to congressional Republicans, blamed by Democrats for the nation’s stalled job growth and recent downgrade of U.S. creditworthiness.

Making the connection might not prove easy.

Obama’s potential challengers have avoided getting dragged into details of the bitter Capitol Hill fights over deficit spending. At least for now, they can lob criticisms at the president while offering few specific, measurable alternatives.

“President Obama oversaw an economy that created zero jobs last month, and that is unacceptable,” Romney said Friday.

But the influence of the tea party and other conservative groups may give Obama some openings, by pushing the GOP field so far to the right that the candidates risk alienating vital independent voters.

Tea party forcefully shaping 2012 Republican presidential race

By Michael R. Blood and Steve Peoples Associated Press

BERLIN, N.H. — The tea party is forcefully shaping the race for the 2012 GOP presidential nomination as candidates parrot the movement’s language and promote its agenda while jostling to win its favor.

That’s much to the delight of Democrats who are working to paint the tea party and the eventual Republican nominee as extreme.

“The tea party isn’t a di-

version from mainstream Republican thought. It is within mainstream Republican thought,” Mitt Romney told a New Hampshire newspaper recently, defending the activists he’s done little to woo, until now.

The former Massachusetts governor is starting to court them more aggressively as polls suggest he’s being hurt by weak support within the movement, whose members generally favor rivals such as Texas Gov. Rick Perry and Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann.

Romney highlighted an outsider image at a Tea Party Express rally Sunday night in Concord. Romney may have run for office multiple times, but he has only won one election.

“I haven’t spent my whole life in politics,” he said. “As a matter of fact, of the people running for office, I don’t know that there are many that have less years in politics than me.”

Romney’s shift is the latest evidence of the big imprint the tea party is leaving on the race.

Such overtures come with

risks, given that more Americans are cooling to the tea party’s unyielding tactics and bare-bones vision of the federal government.

After Washington’s debt showdown this summer, an Associated Press-GfK poll found that 46 percent of adults had an unfavorable view of the tea party, compared with 36 percent just after last November’s election.

It could give President Barack Obama and his Democrats an opening should the Republican nominee be close-

ly aligned with the tea party.

Yet even as the public begins to sour on the movement, Romney and other GOP candidates are shrugging off past tea party disagreements to avoid upsetting activists.

That includes Perry, who faced a tea party challenger in his most recent election for governor and who has irked some tea partyers so much that they are openly trying to undercut his candidacy. Instead of fighting back, Perry often praises the tea party.

In his book “Fed Up!”

Perry wrote, “We are seeing an energetic and important push by the American people — led in part by the tea party movement — to give the boot to the old-guard Washington establishment who no longer represent us.”

There’s a reason for the coziness. Voters who will choose the GOP nominee identify closely with the movement.

A recent AP-GfK survey showed that 56 percent of Republicans and GOP-leaning people identified themselves as tea party supporters.

Unemployed face tough competition: underemployed Negotiations over LIBYA

loyalist town have failed, rebels say

By Hadeel Al-Shalchi and Maggie Michael Associated Press

TARHOUNA, LIBYA — Negotiations over the surrender of one of Moammar Gadhafi’s remaining strongholds have collapsed, and Libyan rebels were waiting for the green light to launch their final attack on the besieged town of Bani Walid, a spokesman said.

Rebel negotiator Abdullah Kanshil said the talks had broken down after Moussa Ibrahim, Gadhafi’s chief spokesman and a top aide, had insisted the rebels put down their weapons before entering the town, some 90 miles southeast of Tripoli.

Rebel forces control most of the oil-rich North African nation and are already setting up a new government, but Gadhafi and his staunchest allies remain on the run and enjoy support in several central and southern areas, including Bani Walid and the fugitive leader’s hometown of Sirte.

The rebels have said the hard-core loyalists are a small minority inside the town, but are heavily armed and stoking fear to keep other residents from surrendering.

“We feel sorry for the people of Bani Walid,” said Kanshil, himself a native of the town, speaking to reporters at a rebel checkpoint about 40 miles to the north. “We hope for the best for our town.”

The rebels have extended to Saturday a deadline for the surrender of Gadhafi’s hometown of Sirte and other loyalist areas but some have warned they could attack Bani Walid sooner because many of the most prominent former regime officials were believed to be inside.

There has been speculation that Gadhafi himself along with his son Seif alIslam had been there at some point, and the apparent presence of Ibrahim indicates that the town was a haven for high-level Gadhafi aides.

“This battle has already been decided,” said Ahmed Bani, the rebels’ military

spokesman based in Benghazi.

“It is only a matter of hours.”

He said there had been clashes around the town for the last four days and rebel forces had come under fire from rockets and machine guns.

Thousands of rebel fighters have converged on Bani Walid in recent days from multiple directions.

The rebels say Gadhafi does have some genuine supporters in Bani Walid, mainly people linked to the dictator through an elaborate patronage system that helped keep him in power for nearly 42 years.

Gadhafi supporters are “claiming that (rebel) fighters will come and rape their women,” said Mubarak alSaleh, the representative from Bani Walid to the rebels’ transitional council. “We are trying to assure people that the fighters are true Muslims who will not harm anybody except those whose hands are stained with blood.”

Rebels arriving from Misrata, a western port that played a central role in the war, reported late Saturday they faced no resistance when they took two military camps on the outskirts of Bani Walid.

“Negotiations are over, and we are waiting for orders” to attack, said Mohammed alFassi, a rebel commander.

“We wanted to do this without bloodshed, but they took advantage of our timeline to protect themselves.”

Al-Fassi said more Gadhafi loyalists have moved into Bani Walid from the south outlined by a line of high hills, but did not know how many.

NATO, meanwhile, reported bombing a military barracks, a police camp and several other targets near the southern stronghold of Sirte overnight, as well as targets near Hun, a possible staging ground in the desert halfway between Sirte and Sabha. It also reported bombing an ammunition storage facility near Bani Walid. Sirte is Gadhafi’s hometown.

WASHINGTON — The job market is even worse than the 9.1 percent unemployment rate suggests.

America’s 14 million unemployed aren’t competing just with each other. They must also contend with 8.8 million other people not counted as unemployed — part-timers who want full-time work.

When consumer demand picks up, companies will likely boost the hours of their part-timers before they add jobs, economists say. It means they have room to expand without hiring.

And the unemployed will face another source of competition once the economy improves: Roughly 2.6 million people who aren’t counted as unemployed because they’ve stopped looking for work. Once they start looking again, they’ll be classified as unemployed. And the unemployment rate could rise.

Intensified competition for jobs means unemployment could exceed its historic norm of 5 percent to 6 percent for several more years. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office expects the rate to exceed 8 percent until 2014.

The White House predicts it will average 9 percent next year, when President Barack Obama runs for re-election.

The jobs crisis has led Obama to schedule a major speech Thursday night to propose steps to stimulate hiring. Republican presidential candidates will likely confront the issue in a debate the night before.

The back-to-back events will come days after the government said employers added zero net jobs in August.

The monthly jobs report, arriving three days before Labor Day, was the weakest since September 2010.

Combined, the 14 million officially unemployed; the “underemployed” part-timers who want full-time work; and “discouraged” people who have stopped looking make up 16.2 percent of working-age Americans.

The Labor Department compiles the figure to assess

how many people want fulltime work and can’t find it — a number the unemployment rate alone doesn’t capture.

In a healthy economy, this broader measure of unemployment stays below 10 percent. Since the Great Recession officially ended more than two years ago, the rate has been 15 percent or more.

The proportion of the work force made up of the frustrated part-timers has risen faster than unemployment has since the recession began in December 2007.

That’s because many companies slashed workers’ hours after the recession hit. If they restored all those lost hours to their existing staff, they’d add enough hours to equal about 950,000 full-time jobs, according to calculations by Heidi Shierholz, an economist at the Economic Policy Institute.

That’s without having to hire a single employee.

No one expects every company to delay hiring until every part-timer is working full time. But economists expect job growth to stay weak for two or three more years in part because of how many frustrated part-timers want to work full time.

And because employers are still reluctant to increase hours for part-timers, “hiring

is really a long way off,” says Christine Riordan, a policy analyst at the National Employment Law Project. In August, employees of private companies worked fewer hours than in July.

Some groups are disproportionately represented among the broader category of unemployment that includes underemployed and discouraged workers. More than 26 percent of African Americans, for example, and nearly 22 percent of Hispanics are in this category. The figure for whites is less than 15 percent.

Women are more likely than men to be in this group.

Among the Americans frustrated with part-time work is Ryan McGrath, 26.

In October, he returned from managing a hotel project in Uruguay. He’s been unable to find full-time work. So he’s been freelancing as a website designer for small businesses in the Chicago area.

Some weeks he’s busy and making money. Other times he struggles. He’s living at home, and sometimes he has to borrow $50 from his father to pay bills. He’s applied for “a million jobs.”

“You go to all these interviews for entry-level positions, and you lose out every time,” he says.

2 Mexicans deny terrorism, face 30 years for tweet

By Mark Stevenson Associated Press

MEXICO CITY — Think before you tweet.

A former teacher turned radio commentator and a math tutor who lives with his mother sit in a prison in southern Mexico, facing possible 30-year sentences for terrorism and sabotage in what may be the most serious charges ever brought against anyone using a Twitter social network account.

Prosecutors say the defendants helped cause a chaos of car crashes and panic as parents in the Gulf Coast city of Veracruz rushed to save their children because of false reports that gunmen were attacking schools.

Gerardo Buganza, interior secretary for Veracruz state, compared the panic to that caused by Orson Welles’ 1938

Labor unions adjust to new reality

radio broadcast of “The War of the Worlds.” But he said the fear roused by that account of a Martian invasion of New Jersey “was small compared to what happened here.”

“Here, there were 26 car accidents, or people left their cars in the middle of the streets to run and pick up their children, because they thought these things were occurring at their kids’ schools,” Buganza told local reporters.

The charges say the messages caused such panic that emergency numbers “totally collapsed because people were terrified,” damaging service for real emergencies.

Veracruz, the state’s largest city, and the neighboring suburb of Boca del Rio were already on edge after weeks of gunbattles involving drug traffickers. One attack occurred on a major boulevard. In another, gunmen tossed a gre-

nade outside the city aquarium, killing an tourist and seriously wounding his wife and their two young children.

On Aug. 25, nerves were further frayed when residents saw armed convoys of marines circulating on the streets, making some think a confrontation with gangs was imminent.

That is when Gilberto Martinez Vera, who works as a low-paid tutor at several private schools, allegedly opened the floodgates of fear with repeated messages that gunmen were taking children from schools.

“My sister-in-law just called me all upset, they just kidnapped five children from the school,” Martinez tweeted.

In fact, no such kidnappings occurred that day. Defense lawyer Claribel Guevara said the rumors already had started and that Martinez Vera was just relaying what others told

him. She said he never claimed to have firsthand knowledge of the incident.

But in a subsequent tweet about the kidnap rumor, he said, “I don’t know what time it happened, but it’s true.” He also tweeted that three days earlier, “they mowed down six kids between 13 and 15 in the Hidalgo neighborhood.”

While a similar attack occurred, it didn’t involve children.

Prosecutors say the rumors were also sent by Maria de Jesus Bravo Pagola, who has worked as a teacher, a state arts official and a radio commentator. She says she was just relaying such messages to her own Twitter followers.

“How can they possibly do this to me, for re-tweeting a message? I mean, it’s 140 characters. It’s not logical,’” said Guevara, quoting her client.

LABOR DAY SPECIALS Shop Today 12:00-6:00

Associated Press

WASHINGTON — In the early days of the Obama administration, organized labor had grand visions of pushing through a sweeping agenda that would help boost sagging membership and help revive union strength.

Now labor faces this reality: Public employee unions are in a drawn-out fight for their very survival in Wisconsin, Ohio and other states where GOP lawmakers have curbed collective bargaining rights.

Also, many union leaders are grousing that the president they worked so hard to elect has not focused enough on job creation and other bold plans to get their members back to work.

“Obama campaigned big, but he’s governing small,” said Larry Hanley, president of the Amalgamated Transit Union.

Labor remains a core Democratic constituency and union leaders will stand with Obama in Detroit this Labor Day, where he will address thousands of rank-and-file members during the city’s annual parade today.

But at the same time, unions have begun shifting money and resources out of Democratic congressional campaigns and back to the states in a furious effort to reverse or limit GOP measures that could wipe out union rolls.

The AFL-CIO’s president, Richard Trumka, says it’s part of a new strategy for labor to build an independent voice separate from the Democratic Party.

Union donations to federal candidates at the beginning of this year were down about 40 percent compared with the same period in 2009,

When consumer demand picks up, companies will likely boost the hours of their part-timers before they add jobs, economists say. It means they have room to expand without hiring.

PROTESTORS HOLD SIGNS AT A UNION RALLY April 4 in Cleveland in support of public employee collective bargaining rights. In Ohio, unions are more hopeful that they can win a November referendum to undo the state’s collective bargaining law that passed this spring. according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Last month, a dozen trade unions said they would boycott next year’s Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C., over frustration on the economy and to protest the event’s location in a right-towork state.

“The pendulum has swung a long way,” said Ross Eisenbrey, a vice president of the liberal Economic Policy Institute. “In the next year, I think all unions can really hope for is to keep more bad things from happening and to get as much of a jobs program enacted as possible.”

Unions fell short last month in their recall campaign to wrest control of the Wisconsin Senate from Republicans. That fight was a consequence of Gov. Scott Walker’s proposal to eliminate collective bargaining rights for public-employee unions as a part of a costcutting effort. Now they are spending millions more in Ohio, where they hope to

pass a statewide referendum in November that would repeal a similar measure limiting union rights.

It’s a far cry from the early optimism unions had after Obama came into office.

Back then, unions hoped a Democratic-controlled Congress would pass legislation to make it easier for unions to organize workers. But business groups fought that proposal hard, and it never came to a vote.

Union leaders grew more disappointed when the president’s health care overhaul didn’t include a governmentrun insurance option. Then Obama agreed to extend President George W. Bush’s tax cuts for the wealthy.

Obama came out in favor of trade agreements with South Korea, Colombia and Panama that most unions say will cost American jobs. Despite campaigning in favor of raising the minimum wage from $7.25 to $9.50 an hour, Obama hasn’t touched the issue since taking office.

Iraq offers bitter lessons for Libya

EDITORIALS

Turf battle Planning commissioners are right to balk at retroactive approval of a local developer’s use of artificial turf as a landscaping material.

L

awrence planning officials have a number of legitimate questions about the use of artificial turf as a landscaping material.

Not the least of those questions is why a developer would continue to install artificial turf around a new 96-unit apartment complex at 546 Frontier Drive after being specifically told by city inspectors that the material doesn’t comply with city standards.

The only answer that the developers of Tuckaway Apartments apparently had to offer was that they already had purchased the material and hoped that they could receive retroactive approval for its use.

It shouldn’t be news to a long-time local developer that that isn’t how the system works, and city officials shouldn’t hesitate to order the turf torn out if they determine it isn’t an appropriate landscaping material.

An architect for the apartment complex said the developers are “just absolutely sold on the product” because it requires no maintenance. He added he was confident that community residents would like the look of the product if they gave it a chance. Count planning officials among those who are unconvinced. They contend there are other more appropriate and attractive no- or lowmaintenance landscaping methods that the apartment developers could use.

They also expressed concern over the long-term environmental impact of the material. Significant research, for instance, indicates that soil covered by artificial turf for long periods degrades and actually begins to die. Concerns over the environmental impact and appearance of the material warrant at least some serious study and discussion.

The other issue involves the precedent of allowing a developer to knowingly violate city regulations and then retroactively seek “forgiveness” for that action. There is no question that the developers knew the artificial turf didn’t meet city standards, but rather than tear it out or even stop installing it after being notified by city inspectors, they ignored the warning and kept installing.

The arrogance of that action shouldn’t go unnoticed by planners or Lawrence city commissioners who will have the final say on a rule change to allow the artificial turf.

Developers likely will try to work out a compromise on the issue, but city officials should base their decisions on the use of artificial turf on what is best for the city and the environment and not the developer’s pocketbook.

Last week’s most poignant foreign-news story was a report from a cafe in Baghdad: Ordinary Iraqis were asked to advise Libyans on how to use their new freedom.

“They have to learn from us,” a mechanic named Abdul Khaliq told the New York Times, but the lessons he and his friends offered were bitter. They spoke of how liberation led to chaos and bloodshed, and a frightening level of insecurity that persists today.

If Libyans want to avoid this fate, they should heed these warnings. From the words of the cafe-goers, from my own trips to Iraq, and from the suggestions of other Iraqis, I’ve compiled five lessons Libyans should learn from Iraqi mistakes.

Before presenting the list, let me detail why the Iraqi and Libyan cases are so alike, despite very different circumstances. True, Libya is smaller than Iraq, and it has been spared Iraq’s problematic neighbors and its sectarian divide (Libya’s population is almost all Sunni Muslims). Moreover, Libya was liberated by its own fighters (with critical NATO air support), so it is not occupied by foreign troops.

But the parallels between the two countries are striking. “Iraq has the closest experience to Libya’s,” says Laith Kubba, an Iraqiborn senior adviser on the Middle East for the National Endowment for Democracy. “There’s the issues of tribalism, regime brutality, and the desire for revenge. And

Trudy Rubin trubin@phillynews.com

“

Libya would be better off with a strong elected president who can make decisions; an elected parliament, as it gains experience, can act as a check.”

there is the fact that so long as (Libyan leader Moammar) Gadhafi and his sons are free, they have the resources with which they can make trouble.”

Equally important, decades of despotic rule deprived Iraqis and Libyans of any experience with political compromise, or civic action. Politics was a zero-sum game, where winners took all and killed or tortured their opponents.

“Compromise?” asks Kubba.

“It’s not in the culture.” This inability to trust has paralyzed Iraq’s parliament; it will make it hard for a new Libyan government to succeed.

Given these hurdles, what Iraq lessons should the Libyans take to heart?

First, get the lights on in Libyan cities and towns and the looting will stop really quickly. The postinvasion chaos in Baghdad soured popular optimism very fast and encouraged troublemakers; lack of power in 100-degree heat infuriated the public. The Libyan transitional government should do whatever it takes — with international help — to avoid those early comparisons with Iraq.

Second, do NOT purge most members of the former ruling party as the Baghdad government did with Baath Party members.

The intense de-Baathification program, backed by U.S. viceroy Paul Bremer in 2003, forced out a crucial layer of bureaucrats, academics, and technical experts whose knowledge was vital to keeping the Iraqi government going; they had been required to join the Baath Party to hold their jobs.

With its weak institutions, Libya can’t afford to lose expertise in the name of vengeance.

Sack top officials, yes, but not the middle layers. “You have to keep them in the government in order to avoid the struggle we had,” said Firas Abdul Hadi, an engineer and one of those interviewed in the Baghdad cafe.

Third, retain as much of Gadhafi’s police and army as possible, barring those from his special units and others with blood on their hands. Better to vet and retrain the rest than disband them wholesale, as Iraq did to Saddam Hussein’s army, creating a security vacuum

in which terrorists flourished.

Fourth, set up a governing system with a strong presidency. After their experience with Saddam, Iraqis feared to do that and created a parliamentary system with a weak, symbolic presidency. But the inept Iraqi parliament is paralyzed by sectarian rifts and lack of trust; it barely functions, leading many Iraqis to yearn for a new strongman.

Libya would be better off with a strong elected president who can make decisions; an elected parliament, as it gains experience, can act as a check.

Fifth, don’t rush to privatize the state-run economy. Bush administration ideologues tried to do this in Iraq, destroying state-run factories that provided jobs to desperate Iraqis. Until Libya stabilizes and private job creation takes off, those state-run jobs are vital to keep young men employed; otherwise these youths may heed appeals from Islamists or revanchist militias, as happened in Iraq.

In sum, let’s hope Libyans consult closely with smart Iraqis.

“Libyans all … say, ‘We don’t want to do this like Iraq,’ “says democracy expert Kubba. “My concern is whether they have the capacity to avoid Iraq’s mistakes or construct an alternative.”

That concern is justified, but at least Libya has a model of what not to do.

Fair tax

OLD HOME TOWN From the Lawrence Daily JournalWorld for Sept. 5, 1911: “Last spring the board of directors of the Civic League of Lawrence ofYEARS fered prizes to the members of the juAGO nior league for the best vegetable garIN 1911 dens, the best flower gardens, and the greatest improvement in the condition and appearance of the yards in general. This led to quite a lively contest among the young members.

They immediately set to work with spades, hoes and rakes to win that $5 [gold piece] offered as the first prize. About 20 in all entered into the contest and there were some remarkable results in the work these little folks did. ... In the vegetable contest the first place was awarded to Lawrence Lamb, 1116 West Winthrop street. He had his garden well arranged and there was not a sign of a weed on the place.... In the flower contest Edmund Learned, 739 Alabama street, was named as the winner.”

Weed mars prairie enjoyment Every summer, almost every day, I go out in nature with my mind set on murder. Sericea lespedeza is my quarry, an innocuous-looking plant that spreads like a virus. It can out-compete even native grass. I’ve spent hundreds of hours spraying this loathsome nemesis and killed thousands of individuals. And yet, I still find survivors taunting me, sometimes within inches of my tire marks from earlier raids.

How could I have missed them?

The plants recently set their flowers, guaranteeing that they will be back next year.

On my outings, I’ve occasionally come across a strange plant known as Cuscuta pantagona Engelm, alias field dodder. The weed book describes it as a “dense mat of yellowish, leafless, threadlike, branching vine.” To me, it resembles a decomposing net, like the kind fishermen use to catch bait fish — or one of those 2,500 pages bills Congress likes to churn out to stifle economic growth. It’s one of many botanical curiosities that make life in the country interesting. And since I rarely see it, I’ve given field dodder scarcely a thought — until this summer, when I came across a sprawling infestation of it.

The spectacle was horrifying: A vast web of stringy fibers was crawling over acres of precious prairie. For a moment, I forgot about sericea lespedeza. Field dodder had my attention. It was on the move. Apparently, something had happened in the environment, some secret door had opened and this abnormal alien had seized the opportunity to run amok. “Doddering” conveys harmlessness and frailty. But a little research in-

George Gurley

“

The sinister thing about field dodder is that it doesn’t find its victims by chance. It ‘sniffs’ them out, follows their scent and then strikes.”

formed me that field dodder is “a plant from a horror movie,” a parasite that uses “fangs” to suck the life out of other plants. Also known ominously as “witches shoelaces” and “strangle vine,” field dodder has no leaves, essentially no roots.

This creature from nature’s grab bag of grotesques hardly seems to be alive.

The sinister thing about field dodder is that it doesn’t find its victims by chance. It “sniffs” them out, follows their scent and then strikes. (Researchers are working to find which part of dodder acts as its nose.) This faceless, homelylooking derelict seems to harbor a kind of malevolence. Moreover, if it can smell, perhaps it can also, in some inscrutable way, “see.” I shuddered at the thought that, as I passed by on my four-wheeler, it had been watching me.

You may ask why a professed nature lover would declare war on natural things. The answer is that if I “let nature take its

course,” my prairie restoration project — which has been a boon to wildlife — would be doomed.

In a few years I would have a monolithic crop of lespedeza.

Thorny hedge trees would choke out all other life. And now field dodder threatened. I added it to my “most wanted” enemies list.

I could win the war on sericea lespedeza if I abandoned spot spraying and blanketed the meadows with chemical. But that would mean losing purple prairie clover, partridge pea, catclaw sensitivebriar, Illinois bundleflower, Maximilian sunflower, butterfly milkweed, blacksamson, gayfeather and dozens of other beautiful plants beloved by bugs and birds.

Field dodder is another matter.

According to what I’ve read, it can be exterminated only by killing the plants it feeds on, which sounds like destroying the village in order to save it. I console myself with the thought that in the last dozen years, plagues of ragweed, heath aster, yellow nut sedge, musk thistle and tall thistle have come and gone. I must wait until next year to see what field dodder has in store for me.

Meantime, the September prairie is lovely to behold. The hillsides are covered with golden sunflowers and glowing Indian grass. Butterflies and bees and migrant birds are in the fields.

But my sleep is troubled with visions of field dodder, creeping toward the house, trying the windows and the doors, violating the peace of the country with its hideous laughter, sniffing me out, baring its fangs.

— George Gurley, a resident of rural Baldwin City, writes a regular column for the Journal-World.

To the editor: I find that a lot of the voting public knows very little about the “fair tax,” which is badly needed to replace the Internal Revenue Service with its loopholes and 60,000-plus pages of rules and regulations that favor the wealthy, big business, corporations, Wall Street and those who have access to loopholes that the average taxpayer doesn’t have.

This means that there will be no more withholding of your income. Your taxes will be collected when you purchase new goods. The rate of our taxes would be approximately 23 percent, which seems high, but we pay about 30 percent now. Taxes that would be eliminated under the fair tax, include the personal income tax, all federal business taxes, the inheritance tax, Social Security and Medicare payroll taxes, the capital gains tax on savings and investments, the marriage penalty and alternative minimum tax.

The fair tax ends the bad idea of direct taxation of earnings, savings and investments and replaces the revenue penny for penny with a tax on retail sales. The national tax base is expanded to include the nearly $2 trillion a year of “underground” economy from millions of illegal immigrants who become taxpayers as consumers and all those who have found ways, legal and illegal, to avoid paying taxes.

The fair tax will be fought tooth and nail by members of Congress, as well as lobbyists and the Wall Street elites, who use the IRS loopholes to reduce their incomes tax.

We need a new way to pay our national taxes because the current tax system is badly broken.

Howard Lynch, Lawrence

Investigators say Ida Cole died Friday after being hospitalized in critical condition since Tuesday, when 57-yearold Elaine Eldred shot her at a home near Dunlap.

Morris County deputies say Eldred was upset that her son, Jacob Cole, and his wife, Ida, showed up at her home wanting to take scrap metal and other items from the property.

Wichita station KAKE-TV reported that a heated argument led up to the shooting.

Investigators say Eldred then turned the gun on herself and was found dead at the home from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

KANSAS FOOTBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Young talent exciting In Northern Illinois, a much tougher opponent awaits Kansas University’s football team Saturday than the McNeese State squad the Jayhawks defeated 42-24 Saturday night in Memorial Stadium.

Win or lose, though, for those who hold season tickets, the weekly battle to stay awake at games appears behind them.

An infusion of fast, slippery athletes has juiced an offense that a year ago left spectators wishing they could get infomercials on their iPhones.

Many in the announced crowd of 41,068 left buzzing about three true freshmen and one red-shirt freshman. They brought speed and/or the ability to bust quick moves that trip up defenders.

Wide receiver JaCorey Shepherd (three catches, 107 yards, two touchdowns) and super-fast running back Tony Pierson (averaged 14.6 yards on five carries, one for a TD) had the same sort of glide as players from national powerhouses. Running back Darrian Miller (4.8 yards per carry on 13 rushes) has a little bit of everything, and Brandon Bourbon (three carries, 19 yards) showed he’ll develop into far more than a fourth-string tailback. Mix in sophomore James Sims (19 carries, 104 yards), and Kansas is set at running back.

For a school that typically doesn’t get the first pick of athletes to have that much young talent at offensive skill positions leads to the inescapable conclusion that Turner Gill has assistant coaches who can recruit, two in particular: recruiting coordinator/running backs coach Reggie Mitchell and receivers coach David Beaty.

Mitchell, with the help of offensive coordinator Chuck Long, convinced Bourbon of Potosi, Mo., to come to KU after he already had committed to Stanford. Mitchell drew a commitment from Pierson after he had pledged to Missouri. Miller, of Blue Springs, Mo., had solid offers from Iowa, Kansas State, Minnesota and Wisconsin, and Mitchell convinced him KU was the place for him.

Sims committed to Beaty out of Irving, Texas, and stayed with KU after Beaty wasn’t retained by Gill. Hired by Gill after a year at Rice University, Beaty convinced Shepherd, of Mesquite, Texas, to give him the same answer he had given Darrell Wyatt before Wyatt left KU to join Mack Brown’s Texas staff. Shepherd originally was headed to Iowa.

Sure, the offense still has issues. Quarterback Jordan Webb isn’t there yet in spotting open receivers in a timely manner, and his accuracy remains suspect. A better defense will recover too quickly for a receiver to remain open as long as Daymond Patterson was before Webb finally spotted him and hit him for a touchdown. One of Shepherd’s scores was on a pass intended for Kale Pick.

Credit Webb with managing the game well enough that KU didn’t turn the ball over once.

He wisely didn’t try to be Todd Reesing because there were only two Todd Reesings, and the first one’s name was Fran Tarkenton.

The run, run, run, pass primarily when the defense has been sucked in approach worked. If the healthier, more fit offensive line can dominate to the extent it did against a lower-division defense, it might remain competitive against better teams.

Texas lawmakers may get involved in Big 12 jockeying

By Jimmy Burch McClatchy Newspapers

As buzzards begin circling, anticipating the imminent demise of the Big 12, top Texas lawmakers are reaching out to slow the realignment process.

Multiple league sources confirmed Sunday that Texas lawmakers, including Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, are preparing to take a more active role in determining whether Texas A&M should head to the Southeastern Conference and whether Texas should join Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Texas Tech as part of a fourschool move to an expanded Pac-12.

One league source said # Get KU Sunday that football the anticipated beat writer interest from Matt Tait’s lawmakers view on Big probably “has 12 Death more to do Watch Part with Texas” II in his than A&M beTale of the cause a LongTait blog at horns move to KUSports. the Pac-12 — if com. finalized — could kill the Big 12. A&M announced plans Wednesday to withdraw from the Big 12, pending an invitation to the SEC. Dewhurst’s office said he is following the situation.

“Lt. Gov. Dewhurst’s primary focus is to ensure the best possible outcome for all Texas universities,” said Dewhurst spokesperson Mike Walz in an e-mail response to questions from the Star-Telegram.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s office said only, “The governor believes these decisions are up to each school,” according to spokesperson Lucy Nashed in an e-mail.

A&M’s action triggered statements during the weekend from school presidents at Oklahoma and Oklahoma State, who announced plans to explore other conference options in concert with one another. In a Friday interview, Oklahoma President David Boren said his school’s athletic future could be determined “within 72 hours.” A Sunday report in “The Oklahoman” said OU’s “sole focus” is on joining the Pac-12 after passing on the opportunity to do so last summer.

KANSAS LINEBACKER TUNDE BAKARE, RIGHT, COMES IN TO TACKLE McNeese State receiver Darius Carey along with KU cornerback Isiah Barfield during the first quarter of the Jayhawks’ 42-24, season-opening victory on Saturday at Memorial Stadium.

Brother’s memory motivates Bakare

By Matt Tait

“

It was real emotional, coming out playing this Studying the box score in game, because it was bigger Mrkonic Auditorium after Kansas than just a game.”

University’s 42-24 victory against mtait@ljworld.com

McNeese State on Saturday night, junior linebacker Tunde Bakare searched for what he believed should’ve been half a sack on his stat line.

It wasn’t there.

It’s fitting, considering Bakare was playing with half a heart.

The other half was with his older brother, Omoniyi, who, at age 22, was shot and killed while riding in a black Dodge Avenger late May 13 in West Virginia, two weeks before Bakare reported to Kansas for summer workouts.

Bakare, 20, has spent the past few months turning to football when the pain has become too much to handle. Never was that more true than Saturday, when Bakare was on the brink of living out a childhood dream but somehow kept thinking of how much the situation did not feel complete without Omoniyi there.

“It was real emotional, coming

— Kansas University junior linebacker Tunde Bakare

out playing this game, because it was bigger than just a game,” Bakare said. “My brother was like my best friend; all he wanted me to do was come to Kansas. That’s why I came here.”

His brother’s influence also helps explain why Bakare plays the way he does: fast, furious and with great passion.

When Bakare, 5-foot-10, 215 pounds, from Forest Park High in Woodbridge, Va., arrived at KU, he dreamed about honoring his brother’s memory while playing the game they both loved.

Omoniyi, a standout running back in his day at Woodbridge’s Hylton High, went on to play college ball at Fairmont State

University in West Virginia. He wore No. 34 throughout his playing career, so, naturally, Bakare, who wore 21 at Highland Community College, wanted to wear his brother’s number when he got to Kansas.

But the number was already taken by linebacker Huldon Tharp, so Bakare opted for No. 17 and routinely incorporated the No. 34 into his haircuts.

“I’ve never worn 17 in my life,” Bakare said. “But when I got 17, my dad told me that God does those things for a reason. And then my friend told me it’s crazy how 17 times two is 34. So 17 for me plus him equals 34.”

It’s more than just a number for Bakare. It’s another way to remember his brother.

Not that he has any trouble doing that. In addition to pictures hanging around his room and countless memories of better days constantly racing through his mind, Bakare says he still actually feels his brother’s presence from time to time.

Fam’s passing saddens Owens ————

Ex-KU basketball coach heartbroken to hear of Fambrough’s death

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Former Kansas University basketball coach Ted Owens was heartbroken Saturday after learning that former KU football coach Don Fambrough — his friend of 51 years — had died at the age of 88.

“Don Fambrough is the best representative of the University of Kansas that I have ever known,” Owens, 82, said Sunday from his home in Tulsa, Okla. “He loved the university.

He devoted his adult life to it.

He had such an incredible passion for KU, and he was such a good man. When I think back of Don, I have a smile on my face.

— Sports editor Tom Keegan can be reached at He spent his life doing what he 832-7147. loved, and I don’t see anybody

who could be more loved than he is by his players.”

Owens will be in Lawrence on Friday for Fambrough’s memorial service, set for 1 p.m. at First Christian Church. Private inurnment will be at Pioneer Cemetery. Family will greet friends at the church after the service.

“When I first arrived at KU as coach (Dick) Harp’s assistant in 1960, coach Fambrough was on Jack Mitchell’s staff. We became great friends,” Owens said. “One of the privileges we had was we would play bridge once a month on a Sunday night with all the assistant football coaches. We became fast friends with all of them, and on Sunday night, when we’d meet, they’d already had the scouting report in preparation for the upcoming game. It was so

much fun to hear them talking and planning for the next opponent.”

Owens was KU basketball coach from 1964 to ’83, which encompassed both of Fambrough’s tenures as head coach — 1971 to 74 and ’79-82.

“One of the big thrills I had was sitting in the stadium when we beat Missouri. It was kind of us or Missouri for a bowl game.

I can’t remember which one,” Owens said. “Anyway, the students tore the goalposts down, and we got invited to the bowl right after the game. That was one of his finest moments. We Journal-World File Photo were all thrilled, too.”

Nadal cramps; American men advance The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Rafael Nadal rolled his head back, squeezed his eyes shut, covered his contorted face with his left arm and leaned awkwardly in the leather chair used by players during U.S. Open news conferences.

Frozen by the leg cramps that simultaneously hit his right hamstring and thigh about two hours after he’d won his third-round match, Nadal stopped taking reporters’ questions and paused between deep breaths to plead Nadal in Spanish, “Can you call a trainer for me, please?�

Then slowly — and scarily to those watching, because it was unclear at that moment to anyone but Nadal himself exactly what was wrong — the defending champion slithered out of the chair and went down to the ground, hidden from view by a table. Within minutes, Nadal was sitting up, and then standing, after

being given bags of ice to soothe his painful leg and bottles of water and Gatorade to drink.

Even if it all amounted to nothing serious from a medical standpoint — as Nadal and his manager would later insist, chuckling — it was a bizarre scene, one at least as memorable as anything that took place on court Sunday at the year’s last Grand Slam tournament. “It’s bad luck it happened here,�

Nadal said, “and not in the locker room.�

His point was that tennis players often deal with cramps, particularly after competing in the sort of conditions Nadal did while beating 2002 Wimbledon runnerup David Nalbandian 7-6 (5), 6-1, 7-5 on a muggy afternoon with the temperature in the 80s. “It’s just something that happens. It’s just unfortunate it happened in front of you all,� 2003 U.S. Open champion Andy Roddick told reporters after a straightset victory over Julien Benneteau to get to the fourth round. “Every single player in there has had that happen before. Every single one.

Mizzou unveils latest digital sports channel

By Alan Scher Zagier Associated Press

COLUMBIA, MO. — The Texas Longhorn Network that pushed rival Texas A&M out the door of the Big 12 has quickly become a model for other conference schools.

Missouri is the latest Big 12 member to join the digital realm, alongside Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas State. The Mizzou Network will be an Internet-based channel with live, multi-camera broadcasts of the school’s Olympic sports along with behind-the-scenes glimpses into previously off-limits activities such as football practices or basketball locker rooms.

The network will carry applications for smart phones, tablet computers and Internet-capable TV. The channel will roll out on Dec. 1, and include some premium content but mostly be available at no charge. Turning a profit is secondary to promoting the Missouri brand and its value as a recruiting tool, said associate athletic director Andrew Grinch, a former television journalist who oversees the project. “We want to be a showcase for what’s going on at Mizzou,� he said. “By doing this as an athletic department, you obviously have access that others don’t.�

Unlike the Longhorn Network, a 20year, $300 million cable channel start-up between Texas and ESPN, Missouri is taking a more modest approach. The initial goal is to offer Tigers fans a minimum of two to three videos daily, from interviews to game highlights to features on players or coaches.

As for the revenue-producing sports, conference TV contracts give Missouri the right to broadcast one football game live each season, as well as men’s and women’s basketball games that are not gobbled up by other TV deals. Those events will likely require viewers to pay up.

The school is working with Learfield Sports and CBS Sports’ interactive division, companies with which it already works, and also plans to partner with a local television station operated by the university’s journalism school.

The lucrative contract signed by Texas could ultimately lead to the demise of the Big 12, with Texas A&M’s looming departure followed by public statements from Oklahoma president David Boren suggesting that school may also leave.

But it also “opened a lot of people’s eyes� to the benefits of school-specific sports digital networks, Grinch said, a trend that follows the recent rollout of a Big Ten Network and a planned Pac-12 channel.

Oklahoma has invested $5 million toward its SoonerVision HD production, an online offering that the school hopes to eventually grow into a full-bore TV network. And Kansas State has unveiled its own high-definition digital network, KStateHD.TV, a subscription service that debuted in late August. “People want to consume (college sports) in all different kinds of ways, not just on the radio or on the official athletic department website,� said Andrew Wheeler, a Learfield Sports vice president based in Dallas.

The Missouri channel will also include non-athletic offerings, such as features on innovative campus research or the latest theatrical performance.

and miles on the tennis court in nasty weather — (and) you throw nerves in there. I mean, it happens. As long as it doesn’t happen during a match, you’re fine.�

Roddick continued: “Cramps are fine. It’s not an injury. A cramp is a cramp. When you go to bed and your foot cramps, it’s the same thing.�

With No. 28 John Isner and unseeded Donald Young also winning Sunday, and No. 8 Mardy Fish advancing Saturday, Roddick is part of the first quartet of American men to reach the U.S. Open’s fourth round since 2003.

US Open match breaks record for longest women’s tiebreaker John McEnroe could relate: Maria Kirilenko won “The Battle of 1715� but lost the match.

In what the WTA said is the longest tiebreaker between women at a Grand Slam tournament, Kirilenko outlasted Sam Stosur 1715 in the second set of their fourthround match at the U.S. Open on Sunday night. Stosur wound up reaching the quarterfinals with a 6-2, 6-7 (15), 6-3 victory.

Their tiebreaker fell two points

short of the so-called “Battle of 1816,� McEnroe’s memorable 1816 fourth-set tiebreaker victory against Bjorn Borg in the 1980 Wimbledon final — a match that Borg eventually won in five sets.

When Stosur put a forehand in the net, allowing Kirilenko to force a third set, McEnroe, who was on hand Sunday night to call their match for TV, said, “There, in a nutshell, is why this is such a great sport.�

That was Kirilenko’s sixth set point. Stosur wasted five match points.

The tiebreaker was filled with drama, including three points that ended with line calls in favor of Stosur, only to be reversed when Kirilenko challenged them.

The second set alone lasted 1 hour, 24 minutes, and the full match went 2:37 — which actually might have seemed rather easygoing to Stosur, whose thirdround match went 3:16, breaking the women’s record for most time on court at the U.S. Open.

The longest tiebreaker in a U.S. Open men’s match was 20-18, won by Goran Ivanisevic against Daniel Nestor in 1993.

TUESDAY

NORTON, MASS. — For all that went wrong for Bubba Watson on the back nine Sunday, at least he still had the lead at the Deutsche Bank Championship.

Right when he was starting to pull away in the third round at the TPC Boston, Watson lost control off the tee and made three bogeys in a five-hole stretch, then failed to get up-and-down for birdie from just behind the par-5 18th green. He still managed a 1-under 70 to take a one-shot lead into the final round of the second FedEx Cup playoff event.

The Labor Day finish figures to be wideopen.

Adam Scott (71) and Jason Day (67) were among five players in a tie for second.

Luke Donald, the No. 1 player in the world, Jim Furyk, Masters champion Charl Schwartzel and former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland were in the large group just two shots behind. Woodland shot a 66 on Sunday and moved up 18 spots into a tie for seventh place.

Phil Mickelson, who Woodland started the round 11 shots behind, even has a chance.

He holed out a 7-iron from the rough on the 12th hole for eagle on his way to a 63, and wound up among two dozen players separated by four shots with 18 holes remaining. “It’s not even that there’s so many guys,�

Brendan Steele said. “It’s who the guys are, too. There’s a lot of talent there. Somebody is going to have to definitely go and take this tournament. It’s not going to be given to them.�

The tournament became so wild over the final hour that Steele couldn’t even find his name on the first two pages of the electronic leaderboard after a bogey on the 14th. He rolled in a long birdie putt up the ridge on the 16th, then hit 5-iron to four feet for eagle on the last hole for a 67 and was in a six-way tie for the lead.

That’s nothing new for the TPC Boston. Six years ago, there was a five-way tie for the lead going into the final round in the Deutsche Bank Championship. Adding to the stakes this year is the FedEx Cup, with the winner assuring himself a spot among the top five at the Tour Championship when 30 players have a shot at the $10 million prize.

Hall-of-Famer Selmon dies TAMPA, FLA. — Hall of Fame defensive end Lee Roy Selmon died in Florida on Sunday, two days after being hospitalized for a stroke.

He was 65.

Selmon was hospitalized Friday, and his former team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, confirmed later that he suffered a stroke.

The 57-year-old Selmon, also a star lineman at the University of Oklahoma, once served as athletic director for the University of South Florida, and its football players wore his old number on their helmets for their victory at Notre Dame.

Selmon and his brother, Dewey, played on the Oklahoma teams that won the 1974 and 1975 national championships. Lee Roy Selmon earned All-America honors in 1975 and won the Lombardi and Outland trophies as the outstanding college lineman that year.

As a Buccaneer, he was a Pro Bowl selection six years in a row and was NFL defensive player of the year in 1979. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1995.

Chiefs add to practice squad

KANSAS CITY, MO. — The Kansas City Chiefs have signed seventh-round draft choice Shane Bannon and seven others to their practice squad.

Bannon, a fullback who played at Yale, impressed the coaching staff during training camp with his athleticism and versatility. The only fullback who made the 53-man roster was Le’Ron McClain.

The other players signed to the Chiefs’ practice squad Sunday were linebacker Justin Cole, wide receiver Jeremy Horne, cornerback Quinten Lawrence, defensive lineman Anthony Toribio and offensive linemen Darryl Harris, Butch Lewis and David Mims.

The Chiefs only kept seven offensive linemen during cuts Saturday, so the three added to the practice squad could be called upon to help at some point this season.

All eight practice squad players participated in the Chiefs’ training camp.

Freshmen lift KU soccer, 2-1

Big 12 CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

will remain connected to OU because such a move is “in the best interest of our institutions and the state of Oklahoma.”

A departure by either, or both, schools in Oklahoma could spell the death knell for the Big 12. As one league official said Sunday, “If Oklahoma decides to leave, I don’t think it matters what the (Texas) Legislature does.

There won’t be anything left to save.”

Before Saturday’s OregonLSU game at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott said schools have approached him in the past week regarding expansion and indicated he would not be surprised to see more realignment in the near future.

“I feel like further consolidation and more stability would be a healthy thing for college football,” Scott said.

“Right now, there is obviously some instability that I don’t particularly think is a healthy thing in some parts of the country.”

It is possible that only Oklahoma and Oklahoma State could join the Pac-12, if invited, thereby leaving the Texas-based schools to figure it out for themselves.

Although Pac-12 rules prohibit single-school networks, such as Texas’ recently launched Longhorn Network, it is possible that the network could be adapted to fit into the existing Pac12 model if Texas chooses to join that league. A source close to the situation said Saturday night that it would be “difficult but not impossible” for the LHN to be adapted into the existing Pac-12 structure, which includes one league-wide network and six regional networks, each featuring two schools.

Under that model, an eventual Pac-16 could include an adapted version of the LHN as a two-team regional network (featuring Texas and Tech), with another regional network featuring OU and OSU. If the Big 12 implodes, there has been speculation about the Big East seeking to bring in the five remaining Big 12 schools (Baylor, Kansas, Kansas State, Missouri and Iowa State) as part of an expanded football league in 2012.

Another scenario could include the Big East going after only Kansas, Kansas State and Missouri. TCU will join the Big East next season.

TEXAS A&M’S MICHAEL LAMOTHE (19) RUNS THROUGH A TACKLE by SMU’s Cameron Rogers, back, as Ryan Smith (20) moves in during the first quarter. A&M won, 46-14, Sunday in College Station, Texas.

TOP 25 FOOTBALL

A&M rips SMU, 46-14 COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS (AP) — While almost everyone else has been worried about Texas A&M’s conference affiliation, the Aggies have been concentrating on SMU. On Sunday night that focus was apparent as Cyrus Gray and Christine Michael ran for two touchdowns apiece, and Ryan Tannehill threw for two more scores to help No. 8 Texas A&M beat SMU, 46-14.

The Aggies were anxious to get on the field and bring the focus back to football instead of the school’s decision to leave the Big 12, likely for the Southeastern Conference. They got things going early, intercepting quarterback Kyle Padron’s passes on SMU’s first two possessions to take a 14-0 lead. ”We don’t really pay attention to any of that stuff,” receiver Ryan Swope said about the conference realignment discussion. “We just come out and play football for this university. We let the other people take care of

that. I don’t think it really affected us at all.”

Added coach Mike Sherman: “We focused pretty hard on SMU. They warranted our undivided attention.

That’s all we talked about.”

SMU coach June Jones replaced Padron with backup J.J. McDermott after the early miscues and he helped the Mustangs cut it to 20-14 in the second quarter.

But the Mustangs couldn’t do much offensively after that and the Aggies scored 26 straight points the rest of the way to secure the win. ”I just had a feeling on two of the errors that he was not himself,” Jones said about Padron. “I thought I would settle him down and then get him back in the game, but McDermott was the way to go.”

Gray finished with 132 yards rushing. Michael, in his first game since breaking his leg last October, added 85. Tannehill was 21 of 26 for 246 yards. Ryan Swope led Texas A&M’s receivers with eight receptions for 109

yards and a score and Jeff Fuller added six catches for 52 yards.

Texas A&M had eight sacks, led by a career-high three by Tony Jerod-Eddie, the Aggies most since 2002.

Jerod-Eddie was pleased to have such a big game with former A&M star Von Miller, who led the FBS with 17 sacks in 2009 and was the second overall pick in this year’s draft, at Sunday’s game.

No. 24 West Virginia 34, Marshall 13 MORGANTOWN, W.VA. — Geno Smith threw two first-half touchdown passes, Tavon Austin returned a kickoff for a score, and West Virginia beat Marshall in a game stopped early in the fourth quarter because of lightning.

Smith completed 26 of 35 passes for 249 yards.

Despite difficulty running the ball, West Virginia improved to 11-0 against its cross-state foe, including six wins since the series resumed in 2006.

Bye week timely for K-State

By Dave Skretta Associated Press Sports Writer

MANHATTAN — When Kansas State’s schedule was first announced, Bill Snyder wasn’t exactly pleased to see that the Wildcats would have a week off after just one game.

Turns out it couldn’t have come at a better time.

The Wildcats needed an 86-yard drive capped by a 33yard touchdown pass from Collin Klein to Chris Harper in the closing minutes Saturday night just to slip by Eastern Kentucky. There was nothing sexy about the 10-7 final score, which was lowlighted by five fumbles, seven penalties and enough other mistakes to keep the Kansas State coaching staff busy during the early bye.

“We have two weeks if we invest ourselves to try to correct our problems,” said Snyder, who got his 150th win as the Wildcats’ head coach Saturday night. “I hate to have an open date at this point in the season, but maybe it will work on our behalf.”

It sure couldn’t hurt, especially for the offense.

Klein threw an interception and could have had three more errant passes picked off, and that was just when he had time to throw. The rest of the night he was running for dear life — about a third of the quarterback’s gamehigh 25 carries came during broken plays.

The Wildcats averaged just shy of 200 yards rushing per game last season, when Dan-

KANSAS STATE WIDE RECEIVER CHRIS HARPER is cheered by fans following a touchdown during the second half of the Wildcats’ 10-7 victory over Eastern Kentucky on Saturday in Manhattan. iel Thomas carried the load, but they struggled mightily against an undersized defense from the Football Championship Subdivision.

John Hubert got the start and ran for 91 yards. Angelo Pease carried five times for just 11 yards, and highly tout-

ed transfer Bryce Brown ran just three times for 16 yards.

Brown, a former topranked recruit who spent a season at Tennessee, also was responsible for a fumble that gave Eastern Kentucky the ball at the Kansas State goal line in the third quarter.

The Colonels punched it in moments later and found themselves with a 7-0 lead.

“Way too many penalties, turnovers, busted assignments across the board,” said Klein, who went the entire way after spending time as a change-of-pace quarterback last season.

“It’s not obviously where we hoped we were, but give credit to Eastern Kentucky for having their game plan,” Klein said, “and also hats off to our defense for being solid when we needed it.”

Yes, there was one bright spot on an otherwise bleak night for Kansas State.

A defense that was among the worst in college football against the run last season — allowing more than 230 yards per game — kept turning Eastern Kentucky away every time the Wildcats’ offense floundered. That included Nigel Malone’s interception in the end zone to foil a good scoring chance by Eastern Kentucky, and another by Malone to seal the game after Kansas State finally pulled ahead.

The Colonels managed just 10 yards net rushing, the lowest total by a Kansas State opponent since Texas A&M had minus-13 in 2009. The Wildcats’ four sacks, including two by senior defensive end Jordan Voelker, were their most since the same game against the Aggies two years ago.

“We wanted the game to come down to be on our shoulders,” said Voelker.

Freshman Liana Salazar scored her first collegiate goal in the 81st minute to lift Kansas University to a 2-1 soccer victory over South Dakota State on Sunday at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex.

Kansas (5-1) won its fifth straight. SDSU fell to 2-4.

South Dakota State took a 1-0 lead in the first half, but freshman Ingird Vidal tied it in the 73rd minute on a pass from junior Whitney Berry.

Vidal collected the ball and then turned and shot from 12 yards out to the upperfar-right corner. It marked the forward’s fourth goal of the season, all within the last three games. Berry has an assist in five of the team’s six games.

Salazar scored in the 81st minute from inside the box.

After getting a pass from freshman Caroline Van Slambrouck, Salazar used fancy footwork to get around two defenders before getting a shot off from about 10 yards out. Her shot went low to the far-left corner. It also marked Van Slambrouck’s first point of her career.

Bakare CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

He felt Omoniyi with him before Saturday’s game, when his nerves were raging before he took the field.

He even felt him out there at linebacker, sometimes during live action.

“I did,” he said. “I felt myself doing some things, and I thought, ‘Dang, that wasn’t me on that play. That was Omoniyi.’ I think about him all the time. Every day, I’m gonna give it all I got because it’s all for him.”

With the emotion of playing his first game since his brother’s death spiking his adrenaline, Bakare said his initial taste of Div. I college football was everything he hoped it would be, particularly because the Jayhawks won.

“It felt amazing,” he said. “I think that’s the best experience of my life. Ever since I was a little kid, all I ever talked about was Div. I, and to come out that first play and hear the crowd, I was just like, ‘Man.’ I wanted to soak it all in.”

As for that stat sheet Ba-

‘Fam’ would help Owens in his pursuit of basketball talent.

“John Riggins tells the story of when he came to visit.

Junior (Riggins) was already there (at KU). They brought John and his mom to my office,” Owens recalled. “I said, ‘With the Riggins boys, we’re going to start a dynasty here.’

John said his mother left the office and said, ‘Dynasty ... that will be good for my scrapbook,’” Owens added with a laugh.

“I always knew I had a friend in Don. I could drop over to talk to him any time.”

Owens last saw Fambrough at a K-Club golf outing last year.

“I went over and hugged him. He’s special,” said Owens, who, when visiting Lawrence, wanders by the bench overlooking Memorial Stadium, which was dedicated to Fambrough in 2007.

“You have to give credit to South Dakota State. They played a really good game.

They played very physical, and I thought they competed really well,” KU coach Mark Francis said. “I thought today we were out-muscled off the ball. I thought we played OK in the first half. We had some good chances, but the second half was a lot better. We have to come out a little bit better at the beginning of the game.”

Red-shirt freshman Kaitlyn Stroud played all 90 minutes in goal and made six saves as she improved to 3-0. One of Stroud’s biggest plays of the day came with just two minutes remaining in the contest.

South Dakota State’s Cori Bonte broke away from the KU defense and found herself one-on-one with Stroud.

Bonte fired a shot from just feet away from Stroud, but the KU goalie snagged the ball to prevent what would have been a game-tying score.

Kansas will travel Friday to West Lafayette, Ind., for the Boilermaker Challenge.

KU will face Dayton at 4 p.m. Friday and Purdue or Cal State Northridge at 10 a.m. Sunday.

KU SCHEDULE Times TBA unless noted McNeese State W, 42-24 (10) Sept. 10 — Northern Illinois, 6 p.m.

Not bad for a debut, he said. But not nearly good enough for a guy now playing for two.

“Some people think of it as a job. You dread it sometimes,” Bakare said. “But to me, I love it. Football’s my life, and I want to leave everything I got on the field every time. If I do good enough, I can get people to recognize who he was, too. It’s not just about me.”

“He joked that they usually do that when a person is dead,” Owens said with a laugh, of honoring somebody with a landmark. “We’ll miss him greatly. He had such a wonderful life.”

Fambrough married Del Few on October 4, 1941 in Austin, Texas.

She preceded him in death on November 17, 2001. Survivors include a son, Bob Fambrough of Lawrence, a son and daughter-in-law Preston and Ginny Fambrough of Baldwin City, four grandchildren (Jay Fambrough, Francesca Fambrough, Veronica Shallcross and Rose Fambrough), and one great granddaughter, Cora Shallcross.

The family suggests memorials in his name to the Lawrence School Foundation for the Don & Del Fambrough Scholarship Fund or to the Douglas County Visiting Nurses, Rehabilitation and Hospice Care.

Memorials may be sent in care of the Warren-McElwain Mortuary in Lawrence.

Dear Annie: “Concerned” implies that if we don’t call our parents daily or visit weekly, we are neglectful.

Why do we owe it to our parents to call and visit? I don’t owe my parents anything. If you want to see your children, go see them. If you want to talk to them, call.

My in-laws complain that we never call or visit, but they call my husband’s cellphone often, and visiting means we have to give up an entire day. I have two adult daughters, and I will never

Labor themes not big for entertainment Happy Labor Day, the one holiday television always ignores. Then again, appreciating working men and women has never been a big part of TV entertainment.

Blue-collar guys, from Ralph Kramden to Homer Simpson, have been portrayed as lovable lugs, prone to wild emotions and impetuous schemes. In contrast to popular culture’s celebration of the working man in the 1930s and 40s, television has generally portrayed them as nice, but not terribly smart or responsible.

For decades, the only characters to get any respect wore uniforms. But you rarely heard the cops on “NYPD Blue” or the nurses on “ER” talk much about their contracts or benefits. With the successful “Mike & Molly” (8:30 p.m., CBS), TV blends both traditions. Mike is a cop and a Kramdenesque slob.

Reality shows have become a perfect symbol of TV’s contempt for labor.

The medium dispenses with unionized actors and scriptwriters and often portrays a world where people’s working hours are consigned to shopping or hobbies. And it’s a scary place where every performer is grateful to have a job because — as seen on “American Idol” — there are literally stadiums filled with applicants ready to take their places. And if they can’t do it fair and square, they’ll scheme and stab you in the back as on “Survivor.”

Don’t go looking for the history of Labor Day on the History Channel. It’s busy with four helpings of “Pawn Stars” (7 to 8 p.m. and 9 to 10 p.m.). Is there a better metaphor for a predatory economy than a pawn shop? Unless it’s the shows about people profiting from the purchase of foreclosed storage lockers on Spike and A&E. Television tends to ignore labor and Labor Day because labor used to stand for a little something called solidarity. In the next few days we’ll hear a lot about the heroes of 9/11, particularly the cops and the firemen. But nobody will mention that they were all union members. Or that the spirit of solidarity that contributed to those unions may have contributed to their selfless deeds.

“The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” (8 p.m., Bravo) returns for a second season following the suicide of Russell, the husband of Taylor, one of the housewives. The premiere has been re-edited to reflect this sad reality.

Proof that there’s no publicity like tragedy, a tape of the 911 call from the suicide received wide play on tabloid entertainment “news.”

Callie’s hospital becomes a hostage scene on the season finale of “The Glades” (9 p.m., A&E).

Tonight’s other highlights

Catch 15 episodes of “Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations” (11 a.m. to 2 a.m., Travel).

Only six remain on “Hell’s Kitchen” (7 p.m., Fox). Make that five (8 p.m.).

“Live From the Essence Music Festival” (7 p.m., TV One).

Martin Sheen narrates “9/11: Day That Changed the World” (7 p.m., Smithsonian).

Mariska Hargitay narrates “Children of 9/11” (9 p.m., NBC).

Pyrotechnics launch heavy metal on “Flying Anvils 2011” (9 p.m., Science).

Puts “Punkin Chunkin” to shame.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Monday, Sept. 5: This year, you manifest a tendency to be a bit of a daredevil. There is very little you won’t try. Other times, words of caution stop you, but not as frequently as you would think. If you are single, you could meet someone quite significant to your life’s history. If you are attached, the two of you need to work on manifesting a key goal. Capricorn reads you cold.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) Your mind takes a vacation — it makes no difference where you are or with whom! Others find that you drop the ball in the middle of a conversation. Tonight: Finally present.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) A partner or potential loved one wants to “make nice.” Relax with the moment. Have more faith in your ability to move through issues.

Tonight: Sign up for a oneday workshop.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Remain sensitive to others. Slow down.

jacquelinebigar.com

Have a long talk. You aren’t socializing as much as anchoring and understanding someone’s needs. Tonight: Have another discussion with a key friend.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Your focus on accomplishing and eliminating a frivolous project will help you complete some overdue tasks. Demonstrate your caring through action. Tonight: Time to exercise.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Refuse to get stumped by a situation.

You have the answers.

Make plenty of time for a gathering of family and friends. Tonight: Slow your pace.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept.

22) You might decide the best place to enjoy yourself is at home.

Throw a Labor Day barbecue. It can be spontaneous. Tonight: You enjoy yourself more and more.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Keep conversations moving and add a new dimension to a situation. An older friend or loved one could be irritating because of his or her demanding way. Tonight: Head home.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Whether entertaining at home or going elsewhere, make the most of the moment. Let someone know how you feel by indulging him or her.

Tonight: Return calls.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21) You seem to be the person who plans are centered around. You could take a different slant on a situation once you are around people. Tonight: Going overboard.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might be unusually quiet. Whether you need some time away or are mulling over a problem is irrelevant to others.

Tonight: You enjoy every moment.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Use the daylight hours to the max. Find friends, and you’ll discover how very content you can be. Tonight: Until the wee hours.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Don’t rush if you are traveling. You will feel better and more relaxed.

Tonight: In the limelight.

Dear Annie: Three months ago, my husband and I received an email invitation to a friend’s 70th birthday party, given by his adult children.

A month later, another email arrived, informing us that each guest was expected to pay $25 for our meals at the restaurant, and that there also would be a “money tree.”

I thought that was tacky, but we like this guy and still planned to go. Then, a week before the date, we received a third email, saying the price would now be $32 apiece.

The son said he’d be at the entrance to collect money, and for our convenience, “there is an ATM nearby.”

Annie, if the hosts couldn’t afford a restaurant, why didn’t they simply have people at their home for coffee and cake? I called the son and told him we are senior citizens and on a fixed income. I said we were sorry, but could not afford to attend. Then, the son tried to put a guilt trip on me.

I have never heard of anything so nervy! There’s a Yiddish word for it, but I don’t know how to spell it. I hope we haven’t lost a friend. — Now I’ve Seen it All
